Chapter 557: Return to Youzhou
The few soldiers sent out by Ouyang Linlin had finally left Youzhou.
However, at noon on this day, they suddenly saw some people in front of them.
A few people were overjoyed, and they felt that this should be the person who played Yu back.
And their guess is completely correct, it is indeed Xi Yu and others who are coming this way.
However, several soldiers felt puzzled why Xi Yu and the others were carrying a coffin, and Xi Yu had already seen them.
Among the soldiers who came from the house, there was a man named Feng Chang who shouted loudly: "King, are you back?" ”
Xi Yu had already seen him from a distance, and shouted loudly: "Yes, this king has won a battle. ”
At this moment, several soldiers from home quickly rode over, and then they dismounted and saluted Xi Yu one after another.
And Feng Chang said that it was because Ouyang Linlin was worried about the king, so he asked them to come quickly.
Of course, Xi Yu knew that the ladies couldn't wait for themselves, so he asked about some of the situation at home, and learned that Liu Xie had indeed lived here.
Feng Chang hurriedly looked at the coffin, and then asked, "King, what's going on?" ”
Then, there was a pale woman who saw the drama immediately.
"Okay, you came just in time, I don't have to send someone to the house to deliver the letter, you go back and tell a few ladies, and tell Your Majesty that I will bury the old man first."
Xi Yu didn't say who this old man was, but several soldiers in Xi Yu's family already knew that the identity of this old man was very important.
"Yes, my lord, we will listen to you."
After that, they were the first to leave, and when they arrived at the crossing, the faces of several soldiers were very ruddy.
"Good news for you, the king is back, but he still has to deal with some mundane things, and he may not be home for a while."
Several soldiers at the border crossing were naturally very happy to learn of this news.
Next, Xi Yu can better hold a funeral for the old man.
Then, he said to Wan'er that there was a better place, and he had already fallen in love.
It's a beautiful place, so why don't you just put your grandfather there?
Next, Xi Yu took Wan'er and some soldiers to this place, which is indeed beautiful.
Wan'er thought to herself, grandpa can be buried here, and she is lucky for three lives.
In fact, grandpa never imagined that he would leave here in his life, and his best ending should be to return to his roots, because there are still many cemeteries in their family's ancestral grave.
But now Xi Yu wants to arrange him here, and he will be cured and obedient.
Because it is estimated that it is unrealistic to transport grandpa's coffin back to his hometown.
Next, Xi Yu prepared to hold a large-scale funeral in the prosperous world, and then asked people to hurry up to buy white cloth and the like.
And Wan'er suggested that she was the only one to wear linen and filial piety, and as for those who had nothing to do with her, she must not do so, including Xi Yu, because she and Xi Yu have not yet determined a better relationship.
Several other soldiers immediately went home and told Ouyang Linlin the news.
Ouyang Linlin felt very strange when she learned that Xi Yu had also carried a coffin this time.
But after hearing that there was another girl, Ouyang Linlin immediately understood what was going on.
I thought that the coffin belonged to a fallen hero, it seemed to be an ordinary old man.
She sent a few soldiers out, and Xiaohong saw that her face was a little ugly, so she asked, "Miss, is it that the king has found another woman outside?" ”
Ouyang Linlin sighed.
"I guess that's what it should look like."
Little Red muttered as well.
"Why is the king so flowery, what's the difference between him and those stinky men?"
Ouyang Linlin was not happy.
"Okay, Xiaohong, how can you say that about the king? Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? ”
Xiaohong became aggrieved when she heard this.
I was thinking about Miss just now, why did she say that about herself?
Ouyang Linlin is indeed jealous, but she thinks that she can say bad things about her husband, but others can't, even if it's a personal maid, Xiaohong. When she saw Xiaohong's aggrieved appearance, she immediately grabbed his hand.
"Okay, okay, it's just a joke, why are you so angry? It's a nice day today, so let's go outside. ”
The two of them were walking in the courtyard, and after a while, Ouyang Linlin came to the Buddha hall again.
Xiaohong said: "Miss, do you still want to go inside to worship the Buddha?" ”
"No need, I just came out of it this morning, so I'll ignore the Buddha for the time being."
Xiaohong said: "Miss, in that case, why don't we go to the street for a stroll." Ouyang Linlin also had this intention, so the two of them came to the street, but they happened to see Wenxuan walking.
They came up and said hello.
"Teacher Wenxuan, why are you here?"
When Wen Xuan saw them, he was also a little surprised.
"I happen to have no class today, so I'm out for a walk, by the way, I wonder if the king has come back?"
Ouyang Linlin nodded, saying that she had already arrived in Youzhou, but she had not returned home yet.
Wen Xuan was also very happy when he heard the news.
"Then why hasn't he come back yet?"
Xiaohong was dissatisfied and said: "According to the soldier's report, he may have fallen in love with a woman again, and then some of the woman's relatives died, saying that he was going to the funeral." ”
What Wenxuan hates most is polygamy, and no one is an exception.
Xi Yu did this, and he hated it very much.
Her face was immediately filled with dissatisfaction.
"Why did he have to do this? Isn't it enough to have so many women around? ”
She expressed her dissatisfaction with righteous indignation, just like her husband, which also made Ouyang Linlin feel very embarrassed.
Ouyang Linlin coughed.
"Teacher Wenxuan, this is my father's business, why are you so angry?"
Wen Xuan realized that he was a little out of shape, so he squeezed out a smile.
"It's all my fault, it's me who is too abrupt, by the way, since we met, you don't mind, I'll go shopping with you."
Ouyang Linlin took Wen Xuan's hand.
"Of course we don't mind what you're talking about."
So, the two of them walked in front, and Xiaohong followed behind, but Xiaohong was thinking about a very philosophical question.
Will Miss Wenxuan like the king? If she couldn't, why was she so indignant to hear that he had a new woman?
If so, why didn't the woman who became the king?
So she has been thinking about these questions, and there is a big distance between the two women invisibly.
After a while, Ouyang Linlin sensed that something was wrong, so she immediately turned around.
I saw Xiaohong a few meters away from them.
So he asked, "Xiaohong, what's wrong with you?" ”
Wen Xuan asked, "Yes, Xiaohong, what are you thinking?" ”
Xiaohong quickly told a lie.
"Nothing, I just had a dream last night, so now I remember it again."
In Luoyang, Sun Jianlong still lived in Sima Mansion, and on this day, he and the old servant discussed in the study how to deal with Xi Yu.
The study was filled with the faint scent of ink, and the sunlight shone through the window on the desk.
Sun Jianlong stroked his chin with his hand and frowned, while the old servant stood aside with a sad expression.
After pondering for a moment, Sun Jianlong slowly spoke: "I already have a plan in my heart, but I still want to ask for your opinion. Xi Yu is a difficult person to deal with, and we need to think of a perfect solution. ”
The old servant nodded and said softly, "Young Master, if you have any ideas, just say it, the old servant will do his best to help." ”
A hint of determination flashed in Sun Jianlong's eyes, and he said, "I plan to start with Xi Yu's relatives. I heard that he had several wives and a child, and we could catch one of them and blackmail him. ”
After hearing this, the old servant's face was shocked, and he said hesitantly: "Young master, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this. Xi Yu's family did not offend us, and doing so would not only hurt the innocent, but also might anger Xi Yu and make him more alert and troublesome. ”
Sun Jianlong was silent for a moment, sighed and said, "I know that this is a bit unscrupulous, but at the moment we have no other better way. Xi Yu has always been a big problem on my mind, and I can't feel at ease if I don't get rid of him. ”
The old servant frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Young Master, if we have to do this, we need to be cautious and not let Xi Yu detect any clues. Otherwise, he may resort to more extreme measures to protect his family. ”
Sun Jianlong nodded and said, "You have a point. We need to have a detailed plan in place to make sure nothing goes wrong. At the same time, it is also necessary to be prepared for a possible counterattack by Xi Yu. ”
The old servant bowed his head slightly, in agreement.
The afterglow of dusk sprinkled on the streets, and Wenxuan, Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong strolled through the bustling streets, enjoying the fun of shopping.
Ouyang Linlin looked up at the sky and said to Wen Xuan: "It's not too early, my husband should also go home." You can also check it out. ”
Wen Xuan nodded and replied gently, "Okay, I'll go see him." ”
At the same time, Xi Yu had just returned home. After the funeral, Wan'er kept crying bitterly and was reluctant to leave the cemetery.
Xi Yu patiently comforted Wan'er, and finally succeeded in bringing her back.
Wan'er leaned on Xi Yu's shoulder, tears flowing.
Xi Yu gently patted her on the back and comforted: "Wan'er, don't cry. The dead are gone, and we must learn to accept the reality and live it well. ”
Wan'er raised her head, looked at Xi Yu through hazy teary eyes, and said softly: "I know, it's just that it's hard to accept for a while." Thank you, King. ”
Xi Yu helped Wan'er wipe her tears, smiled and said, "You're welcome, we are a family, and I will always be by your side to support you." ”
Wan'er nodded slightly.
Xi Yu was full of emotion in his heart.
He hopes that he can bring more happiness and peace to Wan'er, so that she can forget the pain of losing her loved ones.
Ouyang Linlin, Wen Xuan and Xiaohong came to the door of Xi Yu's room, and before they knocked on the door, they heard the voices of Xi Yu and Wan'er coming from inside.
Xi Yu heard the movement outside the door, and immediately got up and walked out.
When he saw Ouyang Linlin and the others, a happy smile appeared on his face.
Ouyang Linlin stepped forward and gave Xi Yu a hug and said, "Husband, I finally looked forward to you back." ”
Xi Yu smiled and hugged her, and then let go of her.
He nodded to Wen Xuan, said hello briefly, and then led them into the house.
When Wan'er saw a guest visiting, she hurriedly got up and saluted the three of them.
Xi Yu introduced to Ouyang Linlin and the others: "This is Wan'er, a friend I just met. ”
Ouyang Linlin greeted Wan'er with a smile and said, "Hello, Wan'er, it's nice to meet you." ”
Wen Xuan and Xiao Hong also greeted Wan'er one after another.
Xi Yu briefly told the story of his acquaintance with Wan'er.
But then, Ouyang Linlin asked him to tell about what happened in Luoyang.
"Okay, if you want to listen, I'll tell you."
Ouyang Linlin, Wen Xuan, and Xiaohong sat around Xi Yu, listening intently as he recounted his experience.
Xi Yu sat in a chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, his eyes were deep and bright, as if he was recalling those distant days. His voice is deep and magnetic, transporting them into one wonderful story after another.
Ouyang Linlin stared at Xi Yu intently, her eyes full of admiration.
She nodded from time to time and smiled in response to Xi Yu's narration, as if she could feel what he had been through.
Wen Xuan sat on the sidelines and listened quietly, completely attracted by the story of Xi Yu.
Xiaohong held her chin in her hands, blinked her eyes, and immersed herself in the narration of the drama, as if she were in those scenes.
The narration of the drama echoed in this quiet night, immersing Ouyang Linlin and others.
Ouyang Linlin's gaze fell on Xi Yu's face, and suddenly remembered a question.
"By the way, husband, have you seen Your Majesty?" Ouyang Linlin asked softly, with a hint of curiosity in her tone.
Xi Yu frowned slightly, as if he was a little surprised by this question.
He sighed softly and said, "I'm tired today, let's talk about this question tomorrow." ”
Ouyang Linlin's face showed a look of concern, and she asked, "Isn't this a bit disrespectful?" After all, he's ......"
Xi Yu shook his head and interrupted Ouyang Linlin's words. “
It doesn't matter, I know what I'm doing. The most important thing now is rest, tomorrow we still have a lot to do. ”
Ouyang Linlin looked at Xi Yu's tired face, and couldn't help but feel a feeling of distress in her heart.
"Okay, you get off early." Ouyang Linlin got up and left.
Wen Xuan said that the time was not too early, and he had to hurry back.
They gently closed the door to their room.
Xi Yu has already arranged a guest room for Wan'er and asked her to live in the guest room.
In the early morning, the sun is still shining in the clouds, revealing a hint of reddish glow, and a hint of breeze blowing, which is exceptionally cool and pleasant.
Ouyang Linlin and the others were still immersed in their sleep, but Xi Yu had already woken up.
He put on his clothes lightly and walked out of his room.
Xi Yu walked through the silent corridor and came to the door of Liu Xie's guest room.
He straightened his clothes, then knocked softly on the door.
The soldier at the door who was in charge of protecting Liu Xie heard the knock on the door and immediately became alert.
They exchanged a few words in a whisper, and then one of the soldiers walked up to the door and asked softly: "Who is it?" ”
Liu Xie was sitting in the room, bowing his head and pondering.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door.
"I'm Xi Yu, and I'm here to ask Your Majesty for peace."
Immediately after, the soldier's door was gently pushed open, and a familiar figure appeared in the doorway.
Liu Xie raised his head and saw Xi Yu standing at the door with a smile on his face.
Liu Xie's eyes lit up suddenly, he stood up and walked quickly towards Xi Yu.
"Xi Yu, you're finally back!" Liu Xie's voice was full of excitement and surprise, and he stepped forward and hugged Xi Yu tightly.
Xi Yu also reached out and hugged Liu Xie, feeling his enthusiasm.
"Your Majesty, let go of Weichen, Weichen will bow down to you."
Liu Xie let go of Xi Yu, took a step back, and looked at him carefully.
"It's not in the court, don't pay attention to it, you look a little tired, you must be tired from the journey. Sit down. Liu Xie said as he pulled Xi Yu to sit on the chair.
Xi Yu smiled gratefully.
Liu Xie asked the guardian to go out temporarily, and he wanted to talk to Xi Yu alone.
Liu Xie immediately said: "Tell me quickly, what happened along the way?" Is Cao Pi dead? ”
Xi Yu took a deep breath and began to tell what he had seen and heard during the journey.
Liu Xie listened intently, nodding from time to time, his eyes full of dependence on Xi Yu.
When he heard that Cao Pi was still alive, Liu Xie felt very incomprehensible.
"If you keep him, won't you want to raise a tiger for trouble?"
Of course, Xi Yu understood that Liu Xie was eager to kill Cao Pi, so as not to pose any threat to him.
"Your Majesty, of course Weichen understands what you think, but don't worry, Cao Pi will not pose any threat."
But this answer obviously did not satisfy Liu Xie.
"So what's the use of keeping him? Is it to humiliate him better? If that's the case, I'll support it. ”
Xi Yu didn't speak again.
In fact, he didn't understand why he had to keep Cao Pi, what did it mean? Do you still want him to follow you?
Liu Association waved his hand.
"Forget it, let's talk about something else. I came out this time, and it was for you, because some time ago there was a thief. ”
Regarding this matter, Xi Yu naturally already knew it.
"Your Majesty, you can think of Weichen for the first time, and Weichen feels flattered."
"And you've been away from home these days, and I've always felt a little panicked in my heart, but now that you're back, I'm finally feeling a little more grounded."
And Liu Xie also took the initiative to share what he learned to play poker.
"That's great, as long as Your Majesty isn't lonely." Joke laughing.
"I heard you invented these pokers."
"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as you feel like it's fun, in fact, there are a lot of tricks in poker." (End of chapter)
