The next morning, the sun shone through the mottled window lattices into the temple courtyard.

Xi Yu stared at the old monk with a steady gaze, and said slowly: "Please gather all the monks, I have something important to tell you." His voice was calm and majestic.

The old monk put his hands together, nodded slightly, and agreed softly: "Amitabha, I will obey the order of the donor." Then he turned and left, his steps were steady and solemn.

After a while, all the monks gathered together and stood quietly.

The old monk turned around and said to everyone: "Dear fellow disciples, this donor is the current prime minister." His tone was calm and his expression was solemn.

Hearing this, the faces of several monks suddenly changed, their eyes widened, their mouths slightly opened, and their faces were full of astonishment.

One of the monks couldn't help but ask: "Prime Minister? Why... why did you come to this Buddhist pure land?" His voice was slightly trembling, revealing his inner shock.

Xi Yu swept his eyes over the crowd, with a solemn look on his face, and said: "I came here to stay overnight by accident, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the basement. In order to find out the truth of the matter, I decided to send troops to garrison this temple." His voice was steady and powerful, which made everyone stand in awe.

Several monks looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces.

A monk asked hesitantly: "Prime Minister... Will this have an impact on our temple?" There was a hint of worry in his tone.

Xi Yu shook his head and smiled and replied: "Don't worry, everyone. The garrison is only to ensure the safety of the temple and to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible."

Then, Xi Yu frowned slightly and said in a serious tone: "Also, I mentioned the matter of the Xianbei treasure to the abbot yesterday. This treasure is of great importance, and we must treat it with caution." His eyes flashed with a firm light.

Another monk couldn't help but interrupt and said: "Prime Minister, where is this treasure? How can there be such a treasure in our temple?" His face was full of curiosity and confusion.

Xiyu was silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "At present, everything is still unclear and needs to be further explored." He looked around at everyone, as if observing their reactions.

The old monk put his hands together and said softly, "Amitabha, Prime Minister, we will fully cooperate with your investigation." His face revealed a resolute expression.

Xiyu raised his hand slightly, indicating that everyone could disperse, with a trace of fatigue in his eyes. His voice was calm and gentle, and he said, "Everyone, please disperse first." The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

The monks looked at each other, then put their hands together and bowed, and silently left the hall.

Xiyu looked at their leaving figures, sighed softly, and turned to walk towards his room.

His steps seemed a little heavy, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

His back looked a little lonely in the sun, but it also revealed a firmness.

The sun shone on him, outlining his tall and upright figure.

When he reached the door of the room, Xiyu stopped and looked back at the temple courtyard, thinking about his next plan.

After dinner, Tuoba Yu sat on a chair, swinging her legs in boredom. She muttered, "It's so boring in the room. I want to go out for a walk." There was a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Xiyu looked at her, smiled and nodded, and said, "Okay, but don't go too far." There was a hint of concern in his tone.

Tuoba Yu stood up excitedly and said with a smile, "I know! I'll just take a walk." Then he walked out of the room briskly.

When Tuoba Yu appeared in the temple courtyard, Haishe in another room opened his eyes wide in surprise.

She said to Shuang'er beside her, "Quick, go and see if that's Tuoba Yu." There was incredible surprise in her voice.

Shuang'er hurried to the window and looked into the courtyard. She showed a look of surprise on her face, and whispered: "Yes, it is indeed Tuoba Yu."

Hai She hurriedly got up and ran out of the door in a hurry.

She came to Tuoba Yu, bowed respectfully, and said: "Princess, long time no see!" Her face was filled with an excited smile.

Tuoba Yu heard the voice, turned around, and showed a look of surprise on her face.

She looked at Hai She and felt that he was familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was for a while.

She frowned and asked in confusion: "You are...?" There was a hint of hesitation in her voice.

Hai She smiled and said quickly: "Princess, don't you remember me? I am Hai She, the wife of Shididu." His eyes revealed expectation, hoping that Tuoba Yu could remember him.

Tuoba Yu was still a little confused after hearing this.

She shook her head and said: "Oh... I seem to have some impression, but I still can't remember the details."

She looked up and down at Hai She, trying to search for relevant information in her memory.

Haishe was a little disappointed when he saw this, but he soon regained his smile and said, "Princess, you are a forgetful person, but it doesn't matter. I am very happy to see you again."

Tuoba Yu looked at Haishe curiously and asked, "Then why did you come here?" Her eyes were full of questions.

Haishe showed a bit of embarrassment and said softly, "It's a long story, Princess." There was a little helplessness in her tone.

Tuoba Yu smiled slightly and suggested, "Why don't you go out with me for a walk and talk while walking."

Hai She heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and agreed quickly: "Okay, Princess." He turned to the maid Shuang'er and said: "Shuang'er, you come too."

Shuang'er smiled and responded, and followed the two.

Hai She frowned tightly, she hurriedly came outside, and after seeing Tuoba Yu, she couldn't wait to say: "Princess, Shi Di is dead! It's related to Hong Gang." There was a tremor in her voice, and her eyes were full of fear and anxiety.

Tuoba Yu's face suddenly became gloomy, his eyes stared at Hai She, and asked: "What's the matter? Why do you think it has something to do with Hong Gang?"

Hai She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said: "I always feel that this matter is weird, Shi Di has no grudges or hatred with others on weekdays..."

Her eyes revealed a trace of certainty.

Tuoba Yu pondered for a moment, then sighed heavily and said, "What should you do? In this situation, who can you turn to?"

Hai She bit his lip, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and said, "I think we can turn to Xi Yu. He may be able to give us a place to stay and help us find out the truth."

Suddenly, Shuang'er's face was filled with joy, and her eyes lit up.

She said excitedly: "Isn't Princess Yu with Xi Yu?"

Hearing this, Hai She was stunned at first, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his head fiercely.

"Yes, how could I forget this!" After saying that, she looked at Tuoba Yu eagerly, her eyes full of expectation, and asked hurriedly: "Princess, do you think this is okay?"

Tuoba Yu frowned, pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "Xi Yu is indeed in the temple, but this matter... let's talk about it later."

There was a solemn look on her face, as if she was thinking about something important.

Xi Yu stood in the room with a solemn face, pacing back and forth, muttering: "Zhao Yun must come in the current situation."

He stopped, walked to the table, picked up a pen, and began to write a letter with a serious look, asking Zhao Yun to bring troops and horses quickly.

After writing, he folded the letter and called the secret guard.

The secret guard knelt on one knee and waited respectfully for instructions.

Xi Yu handed the letter to the secret guard with a serious expression, saying: "This letter must be delivered to Zhao Yun as quickly as possible, without any mistakes!"

The secret guard took the letter with both hands, nodded solemnly and said: "Yes!" Then he disappeared like a ghost.

Xi Yu looked at the direction where the secret guard left, his eyes full of expectation and determination.

Xi Yu stood there, frowning tightly, and kept thinking in his heart: "Who will be a person who is proficient in history at this time?"

His mind was like a tangled mess of various possible candidates, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he felt.

"Alas..." He sighed deeply in his heart and thought hard for a long time.

Finally, a name flashed through his mind like lightning-Chen Shou.

"Yes, in history, Chen Shou was the one who wrote "The Three Kingdoms." He was excited, but then the excitement dimmed again, "But now that I have traveled through time and changed history, I don't know where Chen Shou is at this time."

His heart began to be entangled, and various thoughts kept colliding in his heart.

"What should I do? Send someone? But what if the person I send can't find him? Or I should go myself, maybe I can find him more confidently."

Xi Yu was wavering in his heart. Sometimes he thought it was okay to send someone, but sometimes he thought it would be more reliable to go by himself. He kept thinking about it and couldn't make a final decision.

Ouyang Linlin walked briskly to the door and saw Xi Yu standing there with a frown on his face, as if thinking about something.

She tilted her head slightly, with curiosity and concern on her face, and asked softly: "Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Xiyu heard the voice and slowly came back to his senses. Seeing that it was Ouyang Linlin, he showed a helpless smile and said, "Linlin, I'm thinking about something."

Ouyang Linlin walked up to Xiyu, blinked her big eyes, and asked, "What are you thinking about? Why are you thinking so hard?"

Xiyu took a deep breath, looked at Ouyang Linlin and said seriously, "I decided to call Zhao Yun and let him lead the troops." When he said this, his eyes revealed a hint of firmness and determination.

Ouyang Linlin was slightly stunned, and then reacted, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, "Let Zhao Yun lead the troops? Why?"

Xiyu frowned and explained solemnly, "The situation is a bit complicated now. We need more forces to deal with it. Zhao Yun is brave and good at fighting. His arrival will be of great help to us."

As he spoke, he continued to think about the subsequent arrangements in his mind.

Gradually, Ouyang Linlin also understood Xiyu's idea.

It's also a good thing to let Zhao Yun come.

On the other side, Tuoba Yu and Haishe were playing outside, and Haishe kept calling Tuoba Yu Princess.

Tuoba Yu said: "Don't mention the past titles anymore, I'm not a princess now."

"Okay, then I'll call you Madam Tuoba, can we go back?"

Tuoba Yu nodded.

So the three of them returned to the temple.

Xiyu heard footsteps, and after a while, Tuoba Yu came to knock on the door.

Xiyu let her in, but saw her coming with two strange women.

And they also looked like Xianbei people.

"Husband, let me introduce you."

Tuoba Yu introduced them, Xi Yu nodded, and Hai She and the other two quickly knelt down to salute.

"That's enough. Don't be so polite, get up."

After the two women stood up, Xi Yu looked at Tuoba Yu with a puzzled look. Tuoba Yu introduced the identities of the two people and also explained the details.

Xi Yu frowned slightly, looked at Hai She calmly, and said in a firm tone: "I will not care about the internal affairs of Xianbei, it has nothing to do with me. As for the two of you wanting to surrender to me, it is also unrealistic, you don't have to have this idea."

There was not much expression on his face, but there was a trace of unquestionable determination in his eyes.

When Hai She heard this, his face suddenly showed a mixture of astonishment and disappointment.

She widened her eyes, looked at Xi Yu in disbelief, and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, please, we really have no other place to go!" Her eyes were full of begging, and her hands were tightly clasped together.

Xiyu remained unmoved, just shook his head and said in a cold tone: "I said, no means no, there is no room for negotiation on this matter."

His eyes became even colder, as if he was rejecting something that was too ordinary.

Haishe's face turned a little pale, she bit her lips tightly, her eyes turned eagerly to Tuoba Yu, her eyes were full of pleading and expectation, and her voice trembled a little as she said: "Madam Tuoba, please help us beg for mercy, please."

Tuoba Yu looked at Haishe's pitiful appearance, and felt sorry for him. He took a deep breath, turned his head, looked at Xiyu with a hint of hesitation, with a hint of cautious expectation in his eyes, and said softly: "Husband, see if you can... be flexible."

Xiyu's face was still as calm as water. He looked at Tuoba Yu firmly, without a trace of ripples, and said decisively: "No, I have my principles, and there is no room for negotiation on this matter."

Tuoba Yu sighed helplessly, she knew that once Xiyu made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.

She could only look at Haishe with an apologetic face and shook her head gently.

Haishe's eyes dimmed instantly, tears rolled in his eyes, his face was full of despair and helplessness.

She and Shuang'er had to leave first.

Tuoba Yu asked Xiyu: "Husband, why are you so heartless?"

"Heartless? Do I have to agree to anyone who comes to me?"

Tuoba Yu sighed and had to agree.

Xiyu came to the old monk's room after a while.

"Master, we will continue to stay here until the matter is completely resolved, so we can't live here for free, we must donate money."

After saying that, Xiyu donated some currency.

The old monk was very happy.

"The donor is really kind-hearted, so kind."

That night, the dark guard came to Youzhou, Zhao Yun's house.

Zhao Yun heard that Xiyu sent someone to come, and immediately invited him in.

The dark guard soon saw Zhao Yun, and without saying anything nonsense, he delivered the letter.

Zhao Yun took it respectfully, and then called back. He was very happy to see the content of the letter.

Because Xi Yu was not at home, he felt that the hero had no place to use his skills. Now it's finally all right.

He can use his talents.

"Please rest assured, I will do it according to the Prime Minister's instructions."

"General Zhao, arrange the soldiers and leave together tomorrow. Otherwise, you are not familiar with the road."

Zhao Yun agreed.

The next day, Zhao Yun took a thousand soldiers to follow the dark guards.

At this moment, the dark guards did not hide, but rode away openly.

Along the way, Zhao Yun was in high spirits.

Just after leaving the city, he met Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang went out of the city to do business and asked Zhao Yun where he was going?

"The Prime Minister asked me to lead the troops to do business."

Zhuge Liang was surprised.

"Why lead the troops? Is there a place to start a war?"

"It's not a war, it's to protect a place."

Zhao Yun briefly said.

Zhuge Liang smiled.

"Then I wish General Zhao a safe journey."

Then, Zhao Yun and others left.

Zhao Yun continued to march forward with a thousand soldiers, the sound of horse hooves clattering and raising dust all the way.

When they reached a valley, the sky suddenly became gloomy and there was a faint sound of thunder.

Zhao Yun looked up at the sky, frowned slightly, and thought to himself: I hope it won’t rain and delay the journey.

At this moment, there was a burst of hurried horse hooves behind him. Zhao Yun looked back and saw that it was Zhuge Liang and several followers who caught up with him.

Zhao Yun pulled the reins and looked at Zhuge Liang in confusion: "Mr. Zhuge, what else?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and bowed, "General Zhao, I suddenly remembered something, and I still feel that it is necessary to give you a few more words of advice. The situation in the place to be protected must be complicated. The general needs to be careful and must not take it lightly."

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said: "Thank you Mr. Zhuge for your reminder. I will be cautious."

Zhuge Liang nodded, looked at Zhao Yun and the soldiers behind him with deep eyes, and then said: "General, you have a heavy responsibility on this trip. If you need anything, you can send someone to tell me at any time."

Zhao Yun said gratefully: "Don't worry, sir, I will remember it."

Zhuge Liang bowed again, then turned his horse's head and left with his entourage.

Zhao Yun looked at Zhuge Liang's back, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. Then he waved his hand and shouted: "Keep going!"

A thousand soldiers responded in unison, the sound of horse hooves resounded through the valley, and a group of people accelerated towards their destination.

Zhao Yun and his companions galloped all the way and finally arrived at Xi Yu's place at dusk.

Xi Yu had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing Zhao Yun coming with a large group of soldiers, he smiled with satisfaction.

"Zilong, you have worked hard on the journey." Xi Yu came forward and said.

Zhao Yun dismounted and saluted, saying: "Prime Minister, I am lucky to have fulfilled my mission." (End of this chapter)
