The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

The soldier responded, then turned and walked away quickly.

In fact, he was just pretending to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking that he would just hang out outside for a while and then come back to deal with it.

After all, he had secretly received instructions from the prime minister, so there was no need for him to actually report the news.

The soldier seemed to be wandering around outside for a long time without paying any attention, but he was actually thinking about Chen Shou and Shi Daming.

After estimating that it was about time, he leisurely returned to the border crossing.

He raised his head slightly, folded his hands across his chest, and said nonchalantly, "I have already reported your situation. The Prime Minister was kind enough to let the two of you go directly."

When Chen Shou heard this, a grateful smile immediately appeared on his face. He bowed deeply and said sincerely, "Thank you for taking the trouble to help pass on the message. I will remember this kindness in my heart."

Then he turned around and called Shi Daming, and the two of them strode towards Youzhou.

Coming to Youzhou again, Shi Daming was filled with emotion. He was rejected last time, but he came back again this time.

Chen Shou did not notice anything unusual about Shi Daming, he just saw that the other party looked calm.

Chen Shou said to Shi Daming that Youzhou seemed to be very prosperous. He had heard about it and today he saw that it was indeed worthy of its reputation.

"Brother Chen, you don't need to introduce me, I've been here before." Shi Daming laughed.

Chen Shou patted his head and said that he was really rude.

Since Shi Daming had been here before, he led the way this time, and they soon arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion with Chen Shou.

Chen Shou and his companion dismounted, and Chen Shou immediately told the soldiers, "I am here on the orders of the Prime Minister. Please let me know."

The soldier looked them over, then stepped aside and let them go in.

Entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, the courtyard was eerily quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing on the stone pavement.

At this moment, Xi Yu was about to go out to visit Song Shuwen's clinic. Suddenly, he saw two people coming, so he asked, "Who are you?"

It was also the first time that Chen Shou met the Prime Minister. Seeing that he had an extraordinary demeanor, he quickly clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "I am Chen Shou, and I am here to follow the Prime Minister. I wonder if you are the Prime Minister?"

Xi Yu nodded slightly, looked at Chen Shou for a moment, and said, "It's me."

Xi Yu was immediately surprised and said, "I have been looking forward to your arrival."

Chen Shou introduced Shi Daming, saying, "This is my follower, named Shi Tianping."

Shi Daming understood what he meant and quickly pretended not to know Xi Yu and bowed to him respectfully.

Xi Yu said, "I was planning to go out, but now that you're here, forget it. Please follow me to the study room."

Chen Shou secretly wondered whether Xi Yu had received the letter, but it was inconvenient to ask rashly under the current circumstances. The three of them then walked into the study together.

Entering the study, the room was filled with a faint scent of ink. Xi Yu sat down on the chair behind the desk and motioned Chen Shou and Shi Damu to sit down as well.

"Chen Shou, you must be tired after traveling all the way here." Xi Yu spoke first, breaking the slightly dull atmosphere.

Chen Shou hurriedly replied: "Thank you for your concern, Prime Minister. I am not tired."

Chen Shou bowed slightly and said sincerely: "The last time I was with General Zhao Yun, I was confused and didn't want to come to the Prime Minister. But now, I have figured it out, and I am here to ask the Prime Minister to take me in."

Xi Yu heard this and laughed out loud: "It is a good thing that you can come. It is never too late. But speaking of Zhao Yun..."

At this point, Xi Yu paused slightly, his eyes lingering on Chen Shou for a moment, "By the way, I have to call Zhao Yun."

Chen Shou's heart trembled, but he still had a smile on his face and asked, "Does the Prime Minister think I'm a fake?"

Xi Yu did not answer, and his silence clearly acknowledged this doubt.

After a moment, he shouted loudly: "Come here, ask Zhao Yun to come here immediately."

Shi Daming was secretly anxious. There was a key problem standing in the way. He knew that he had to get Xi Yu's birth date and horoscope as soon as possible.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "I have studied some divination techniques since I was young. I wonder if I can tell the fortune for the Prime Minister?"

Xi Yu sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He pretended to be very surprised and said, "Oh? You actually have such a trick?"

Shi Daming nodded hurriedly and continued, "The Prime Minister is blessed with great fortune. If I could get the Prime Minister's birth date and eight characters, I might be able to get a glimpse of the secrets from the hexagrams and help the Prime Minister's cause. This is my sincere heart."

Xi Yu had already made plans in his mind, his expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Why not tell you?"

Then he gave a false birth date.

When Shi Daming heard this, he was secretly delighted, but on the surface he pretended to be solemn and started to calculate in a serious manner.

His fingers trembled slightly, he muttered something, his eyes sometimes flashed with doubt, and sometimes seemed to have an epiphany, he acted out the divination scene to the fullest.

After a while, Shi Daming stopped what he was doing and said with a big smile on his face: "Prime Minister, this birth chart is really excellent. It is a sign of great wealth and honor. There will be great plans and great blessings in the future."

Chen Shou was listening at the side and found it ridiculous in his heart. Anyone who heard such flattering words would know that they were just polite talk and flattery.

Xi Yu understood it in his heart, but did not expose it. With a faint smile on his face, he spoke politely to Shi Daming.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xi Yu suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "I was so busy chatting that I forgot to greet you two. Come on, quickly ask the soldiers to prepare some fruit plates to entertain the two distinguished guests."

Soon, soldiers came in with exquisite fruit plates and placed all kinds of fresh fruits on the table. Xi Yu raised his hand and said, "You two don't have to be restrained, enjoy as you please."

Chen Shou and Shi Daming bowed hurriedly to express their gratitude.

Then, Xi Yu smiled and looked at Chen Shou, and slowly said: "I heard that you are well versed in history. Now I have an idea. You might as well sort out the information of the Han Empire and write a history book starting from the founding emperor Han Gaozu."

When Chen Shou heard this, his eyes instantly sparkled with excitement, and he quickly said, "This has always been Chen's wish. Now that the Prime Minister has arranged this, it is really great."

Xi Yu nodded slightly, and then continued: "If you create it yourself, you may not get much, but if I arrange it, I will definitely let you reap a lot and make a lot of money."

Chen Shou was a little embarrassed and said, "Although scholars should not bow down for a few grains of rice, I am really struggling to make ends meet recently. If I can get the Prime Minister's help, I will definitely do my best to repay the Prime Minister's kindness."

Chen Shou was already immersed in the excitement of writing a history book, and he kept thinking about where to start in sorting out the long and glorious history of the Han Dynasty.

Seeing this, Xi Yu said softly, "Chen Shou, don't be so excited. After you finish writing this history book, there will be many things for you to do later. You just need to follow me wholeheartedly, and I will never treat you unfairly."

When Chen Shou heard this, he was filled with emotion. His eyes turned slightly red and tears slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Seeing this, Xi Yu slowed down his tone and asked, "How have you been lately?"

Chen Shou choked up slightly and whispered, "Prime Minister, my father has passed away."

Xi Yu's expression was stern, and he showed a look of regret. He sighed and said, "Oh, please don't be too sad. The dead are gone, and the living should encourage themselves. You still have a bright future. Don't be too sad and ruin yourself."

Chen Shou nodded silently, suppressing his grief and trying to calm himself.

Just at this moment, Zhao Yun hurried over.

He quickly stepped forward and saluted Xi Yu. Xi Yu raised his hand slightly, motioning him to stand up first, and then said, "Zilong, come and see who the guest is."

Zhao Yun then turned his gaze to the side, and when he saw that it was Chen Shou, he couldn't help feeling very surprised, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Chen Shou also stood up quickly, clasped his fists and saluted Zhao Yun, smiling and saying, "General Zhao, how are you? Chen Shou is here to greet you."

Zhao Yun frowned slightly, as if thinking about the purpose of Chen Shou's visit, but he also politely returned the greeting: "Mr. Chen, long time no see, why are you here today?"

Chen Shou hurriedly said, "Last time the Prime Minister asked me to come, I didn't know what was good for me and didn't respond. Now I have figured it out, so I came to the Prime Minister, hoping to serve him."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun smiled slightly, clasped his fists and responded: "If that's the case, that's naturally the best. It's a blessing to have help from Mr. Chen." Xi Yu watched the interaction between the two from the side, thinking secretly, and seeing Zhao Yun's reaction, he became more certain that the person in front of him was Chen Shou.

He rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "It is fate that we are all gathered here now. In the future, we should work together and achieve great things together."

Xi Yu turned to Zhao Zilong and said, "Zilong, go to the restaurant outside and order a table of food. The four of us will go together today, and the expenses will be charged to my account." Zhao Zilong accepted the order and clasped his fists: "Yes, Prime Minister."

Chen Shou said hurriedly: "The Prime Minister is so polite, it really makes us feel terrified."

Xi Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to say more, today is just a welcome for the two of you, we will have a long time to spend together in the future, so there is no need to be restrained."

Soon, Zhao Zilong reported back that he had booked a private room in the restaurant. Xi Yu then stood up and walked out with Chen Shou, Shi Daming and Zhao Zilong.

Along the way, Chen Shou and Zhao Zilong chatted for a while and talked about their past experiences, and they seemed to have a very pleasant conversation.

Shi Daming followed silently behind, observing the situation around him from time to time and being secretly alert.

They walked to the restaurant and were led by the waiter into the private room, where the table was gradually filled with dishes.

After a full meal, Xi Yu led everyone back to the mansion, and then said to Chen Shou and Shi Daming: "You are tired today, so take a good rest in the guest room first. I will arrange everything here and vacate a special room, and then arrange for you, Chen Shou, to officially start writing that history book."

Chen Shou hurriedly bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you for your thoughtful consideration, Prime Minister. I will wait for your arrangements."

Smith also nodded and bowed in agreement.

"Thank you for your concern, Prime Minister. We are very grateful."

Afterwards, a servant led Chen Shou and Shi Daming to the guest room, which was decorated quite elegantly and comfortably.

At this moment, only Chen Shou and Shi Daming were left in the room. Chen Shou asked impatiently, "Can you give me the antidote now?"

Without saying anything, Shi Daming immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill from it, handed it to Chen Shou, and said, "Take it quickly."

Chen Shou hurriedly took it, put it into his mouth and swallowed it.

Shi Daming watched Chen Shou's actions and comforted him, "Don't worry, all the poisons have been solved. I, Shi Daming, guarantee it with my life. If this antidote is fake, I am willing to be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

Chen Shou patted Shi Daming on the shoulder and said softly, "I trust you, why do you have to swear such a solemn oath? We have known each other for a long time, and I know what kind of person you are."

Shi Daming lowered his voice and said, "Now that I have obtained Xi Yu's birth date and horoscope, it is not advisable to stay here for long. I must find a way to leave as soon as possible."

Chen Shou thought for a moment and responded, "You can just leave. When the Prime Minister asks about it, I will just find a random excuse to evade him. I don't think there will be any big problems."

Upon hearing this, Shi Daming nodded heavily.

That night, everything was silent and the moonlight was mostly blocked by dark clouds, with only a few dim shadows showing through.

Shi Daming took advantage of the night to quietly lead the horse out, climbed on it, and then gave the horse a kick. The horse then spread its four hooves and ran quickly into the distance.

The sound of horse hooves was particularly clear in the silent night, but Shi Daming didn't care about that. He only wanted to get away from this place as soon as possible.

At this moment, he was so happy that his heart could not describe it. The mission was successfully completed and the birth date and horoscope were in hand. As long as he brought it back, the subsequent plans could be carried out step by step.

The wind whistled past his ears, blowing up the corners of his clothes, as if it was also helping him to move smoothly.

From time to time, Shi Daming looked back at the gradually receding City Prime Minister's Mansion, his eyes full of pride and relief. He kept walking, driving his horse to gallop in the predetermined direction, and disappeared into the vast night.

Xi Yu had quietly arranged secret guards to watch their every move.

That night, the secret guards hid in the dark and saw clearly the whole process of Shi Daming leading the horse, mounting the horse, and quickly leaving.

After Shi Daming's figure completely disappeared into the night, the secret guards did not dare to delay for a moment and went straight to Xi Yu's residence.

Soon, he arrived outside Xi Yu's door, knocked gently, and reported in a low voice: "Prime Minister, Shi Daming rode away on horseback in the dark. He seemed to be in a hurry."

After listening to the report from the secret guard, Xi Yu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes full of satisfaction after success.

At that moment, he ordered the secret guard, "Go and invite Chen Shou here quickly. Don't delay."

Upon receiving the order, the secret guard flashed and quickly ran towards the guest room where Chen Shou was staying.

Soon, the secret guard came to the door of the guest room, knocked gently, and said loudly: "Mr. Chen, the Prime Minister wants to see you. I hope you can come with me."

When Chen Shou heard this, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

He thought it must be about the letter.

Chen Shou straightened his clothes and hurried into Xi Yu's room with the secret guard.

Before he could speak, Xi Yu raised his hand with a smile, signaling him not to worry, and then slowly said: "Mr. Chen, I have successfully received the letter. Your plan is very good, and everything is going according to plan."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shou's slightly nervous expression was instantly replaced by joy. He bowed slightly and said, "Your Excellency, I am so grateful for your praise. This is all possible only because of your trust and prestige. I am just trying my best to help."

Xi Yu shook his head slightly, his eyes full of admiration: "Sir, please don't be too modest. Such a well-planned and meticulous plan is not something that an ordinary person can do. Sir, your wisdom is truly something I admire."

Xi Yu raised a playful smile and said, "I just made up a birth date to deal with Shi Daming. I never thought that he would believe it so easily. He is really stupid." After saying that, he couldn't help but sneer softly.

Chen Shou also laughed and nodded in agreement.

Xi Yu then changed the subject and mentioned: "The thief Zhao Qiang, I have now placed him in the inn. He has made a contribution this time. If he hadn't stolen the letter by accident, this plan would not have been able to proceed so smoothly."

Chen Shou raised his head slightly, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"This coincidence seems like God's careful arrangement. Everything is pushing the situation in a direction that is beneficial to the Prime Minister.

Xi Yu raised his head slightly, his thoughts seemed to drift back to the past, and he spoke slowly: "It's strange to say, since I came to this world, it seems that there is always an invisible force helping me, even if there are difficulties and obstacles, I can resolve them safely."

"The Prime Minister is blessed with great fortune, and this is a blessing for all mankind. Since God has favored him so much, I believe he will be able to accomplish even greater feats in the future, pacify the world, and benefit all people."

Xi Yu waved his hands gently, as if coming back to his senses from his memories.

"Don't judge too early. The world is unpredictable and we need to be cautious in the future."

Xi Yu asked with concern in his eyes, "Chen Shou, how is the poison in your body now? Has it been cured?"

Chen Shou bowed slightly and replied, "Don't worry, Prime Minister. Shi Daming has given me the antidote. I think I should be fine."

Xi Yu shook his head gently, his expression solemn: "Don't be careless. We still need to confirm carefully. Tomorrow I will take you to the clinic and ask Song Shuwen to diagnose you. I must make sure that the toxins in your body are cleared. You should go back to your room and rest first, and gather your strength for tomorrow."

Chen Shou felt warm in his heart and bowed again: "Thank you for your concern, Prime Minister. I will obey your command."

After saying that, he turned around and slowly left the room.

After returning to the room, Chen Shou felt relieved. In recent days, every time he was with Shi Daming, he was just being perfunctory.

Especially the scene in the inn where he tied himself up and did not tell the prime minister.

Forget it, there is no need to explain it in such detail. It is enough to do what you do with a clear conscience. It is not for the purpose of earning any credit.

I lay down on the bed and felt very comfortable.

Because your good days will come soon.

He said silently in his heart: "Dad, don't worry. My son has found a good home now." (End of this chapter)
