A look of eagerness appeared on Xi Yu's face, and he replied: "I urgently need to see Ouyang Linlin, and I can't delay any longer."

"In that case, let's get on the road immediately."

Everyone nodded and began to pack their bags and prepare to embark on the journey.

On this day, Ouyang Linlin was leaning on the couch, her eyes empty and lifeless, her face pale, and she seemed to have lost her soul. The book in his hand fell to the side without even realizing it.

Xiaohong walked into the house and saw Ouyang Linlin's appearance. Her heart tightened and she quickly walked to the couch and said with worry on her face: "Miss, you haven't thought about food or food these past few days. Could it be that you have some illness?" ”

Xiaohong frowned and looked at Ouyang Linlin anxiously.

Ouyang Linlin sighed softly, waved her hands weakly, and said, "Xiaohong, I'm fine, I'm just depressed and don't want to do anything." Her eyes were blurred, with a hint of sadness on her face.

Xiao Hong knelt down, held Ouyang Linlin's hand, and advised: "Miss, even if you have something on your mind, you can't torture your body like this. How about we go for a walk outside to relax."

Xiaohong looked at Ouyang Linlin sincerely with expectation in her eyes.

Ouyang Linlin shook her head and said with a depressed expression: "I don't have the intention, I won't go."

Xiaohong stamped her feet anxiously and said, "Miss, if the prime minister comes back and sees you like this, he will definitely be unhappy." There was an anxious look on her face, and a trace of nervousness in her eyes.

This sentence played an extremely important role. After hearing Xiaohong's words, Ouyang Linlin was slightly startled at first, then raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showing a faint smile, and said: "Okay, in that case, let's go out for a walk." Just go.”

There was a hint of helplessness in her eyes, but there was also some expectation.

When Xiaohong saw Ouyang Linlin agreed, a happy smile immediately broke out on her face, her eyes were bright, and she said, "That's great, miss, let's go now."

So, the master and the servant walked out of the door together.

Ouyang Linlin's steps were slow and her eyes were still a little wandering, but her face looked better than before.

Xiaohong followed him up and down, turning her head to look at Ouyang Linlin from time to time, as if to confirm that she had not regretted it.

Zhao Yun and others were still standing outside. When he saw Ouyang Linlin and Xiao Hong coming out, Zhao Yun immediately clasped his fists and bowed to salute, and the others followed suit.

Zhao Yun raised his head, and when he saw Ouyang Linlin, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

He said with concern: "Husband, I will pay my respects to General Zhao Yun. You look a little haggard. I hope you will take care of yourself."

Zhao Yun's brows wrinkled slightly, his face full of sincerity and concern.

Ouyang Linlin nodded slightly, forced a smile, and replied in a slightly weak voice: "I'm sorry, General Zhao is worried, I'm fine." Her eyes were a little dim, and her face was a little pale.

Zhao Yun straightened up, his eyes still on Ouyang Linlin, and said again: "Madam, you must not hurt your body. If necessary, just ask me to wait."

Ouyang Linlin turned slightly sideways and said softly: "Thank you, General Zhao. I will pay attention." After that, she took Xiaohong and continued walking forward.

The scorching sun was high, and Xi Yu and Chen Shou were galloping on horses on the winding road.

Xi Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to the three people behind him and shouted: "We were delayed for a few days because of the rain. Fortunately, the horses have rested, so the speed is much faster!" His There was a look of confidence on his face, and his eyes shone with anticipation.

Chen Shou responded with a smile: "Yes, at this speed, we should be able to reach our destination earlier."

His cheeks were flushed by the wind, and his eyes were focused on the road ahead.

Zhao Yun nodded slightly and said loudly: "Yes, if we continue like this, we should be able to reach the temple at dusk." He tightened the reins, his heroic face full of determination.

Tuobayu also said: "That's great. I hope I can arrive soon. My bones are about to fall apart due to the bumps along the way." She wrinkled her nose, with a tired and expectant look on her face.

Xi Yu flicked his riding whip and laughed, "Haha, everyone, work harder and have a good rest at the temple in the evening!"

The horses' hooves clattered as they ran forward.

The four of them hurried on their way. As time passed, the sun gradually set in the west, and the sky was dyed orange-red.

Xi Yu looked at the sunset on the horizon, turned around and said, "Looking at this situation, we can really go to the temple at dusk, and then we can have a warm meal."

He licked his lips, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Chen Shou gasped and replied: "Yes, I am really exhausted from running all the way. I have to take a good rest when I get to the temple." His face showed a hint of exhaustion, but also full of expectation.

Father Chen said with a smile: "I hope there will be a warm bed in the temple. My old bones are almost falling apart."

While talking, the outline of a temple appeared at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Xi Yu pointed forward and said loudly: "Look, that's the temple we are looking for!"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, with happy expressions on their faces.

After a while, they arrived in front of the temple.

In the courtyard of the temple, Zhao Yun and others were talking when they suddenly saw Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu walking side by side.

Zhao Yun's face instantly broke into a joyful smile, his eyes flashed with excitement. He hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his hands together, bowed and saluted, saying: "Prime Minister, Madam Tuoba, it's great to see you here."

The people behind him followed suit, clasped their fists and saluted in unison, their faces full of respect and joy.

Xi Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying: "No need to be polite, you have worked hard these days." His eyes swept over everyone with concern.

Zhao Yun stood up and grinned: "Prime Minister, you are too polite. It is our honor to serve you. But is the Prime Minister doing well along the way?" His eyes stayed on Xi Yu, revealing a trace of worry.

Tuoba Yu also smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, we are all fine."

Ouyang Linlin immediately walked out of the room, her heart pounding like a drum, her face full of uncontrollable excitement.

"It's him, it's really him!" She kept repeating in her heart.

When she saw the familiar figure, Xiyu, her eyes instantly lit up like stars.

The moment Xiyu saw her, his eyes seemed to be dull, and the whole person seemed to be cast into a spell, and his legs seemed to be unable to move. His mind was blank, with only the person in front of him who he had been thinking about day and night.

"Linlin..." Xiyu's voice was trembling, and his lips trembled slightly, "I... miss you too much."

Ouyang Linlin's tears rolled in her eyes. She rushed over and hugged Xiyu tightly, and said in a choked voice: "I have been waiting for you, thinking about you every day."

Xiyu felt her temperature and hugged her back with both hands, as if he wanted to rub her into his body, "Me too, I am going crazy thinking about you."

The two hugged each other like this, time seemed to stop at this moment, everything around them became unimportant, only each other's heartbeat and breathing were clearly audible.

After a long time, Ouyang Linlin loosened her hand slightly, raised her head, and looked into Xiyu's eyes affectionately.

"Have you been doing well during this period?"

Xiyu gently wiped away the tears from her eyes.

"No, every day without you is torture."

Ouyang Linlin burst into laughter.

"Then let's never separate again."

Xiyu nodded heavily.

"Yes, never separate again."

The two of them showed their affection as if no one was around. Zhao Yun and others stood aside, their faces flushed, they lowered their heads shyly, their eyes dodged, and they dared not look directly at this affectionate scene.

Xiyu finally realized that he was a little out of control. He coughed awkwardly to cover up his embarrassment and said, "Everyone, take a rest." There was still a trace of imperceptible panic in his voice.

After speaking, Xiyu took Ouyang Linlin's hand and walked quickly into Ouyang Linlin's room, leaving Zhao Yun and others there.

After entering the room, Ouyang Linlin said coquettishly, "Look at you, you were so excited just now."

Her face was filled with a happy smile, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

Xiyu scratched his head and smiled shyly: "When I see you, I can't care about anything else." His eyes were full of doting.

Xiyu looked at Ouyang Linlin in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He thought this scene was funny, just like the young people in his previous life who first tasted the taste of love.

Suddenly, Xiyu hugged Ouyang Linlin fiercely.

Ouyang Linlin couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock, and her face was full of surprise.

"You...what are you doing?" Ouyang Linlin's voice trembled a little.

Xiyu didn't answer, but just held her and walked quickly to the bed, and gently put her on the bed.

Ouyang Linlin's heart was beating hard. She looked at Xiyu, with panic and a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Xiyu leaned down, close to Ouyang Linlin's ear, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, let's get started." There was a hint of tenderness and temptation in his voice.

After a while, Xiaohong hurried back from outside the temple. As soon as she reached the door, she heard several soldiers talking about Xiyu coming back.

Xiaohong was delighted and thought to herself: "Great, now the lady can finally rest assured."

She hurried to Ouyang Linlin's room and was about to knock on the door, but suddenly heard a strange sound coming from inside.

Her face turned red, and even though she was a girl, she understood what was going on.

Her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and her hands trembled a little.

She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned away gently, with a shy look on her face.

After a while, when Xiyu finished, his face was filled with great satisfaction.

Ouyang Linlin looked at him and whispered: "Husband, tell me about your recent events." There was a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Xiyu smiled, nodded, and then began to tell his experience along the way.

"I have experienced many twists and turns along the way..." Xiyu's voice was filled with a hint of emotion.

He described in detail what he saw and heard along the way, how he found Chen Shou, and confirmed that the treasure was what the Xianbei had taken from the Central Plains.

Ouyang Linlin listened attentively, nodding from time to time, and showing a surprised expression from time to time.

At this moment, Chen Shou and his son had entered the guest room to rest under Tuoba Yu's negotiation.

At night, Xi Yu gently pushed open Wuyou's door and walked in.

Wuyou was sitting by the window, staring at the night sky quietly.

Xiyu walked to Wuyou and whispered, "Wuyou, I plan to take the treasure away. Now it has been confirmed that the treasure originally belongs to the Central Plains."

His eyes were firm and steady.

Wuyou chanted a Buddhist name, nodded slightly, and agreed, "In this case, I will do as the Prime Minister said." A hint of indifference appeared on her face.

The next day, Xiyu summoned Zhao Yun and others.

He looked at everyone sharply and said, "Take the treasure away, and also take Chen Shou and his father to Youzhou. When you arrive in Youzhou, arrange a civil service for Chen Shou." His voice revealed a firmness and decisiveness.

Zhao Yun and others nodded in response and began to act.

As for Xiyu, Ouyang Linlin, Tuoba Yu, Xiaohong, and Song Shuwen, they packed their bags and prepared to continue to the Kushan Empire.

After Zhao Yun's large army left, Xiyu brought everyone to Wuyou to say goodbye.

Xi Yu said sincerely, clasped his hands together, bowed slightly and said: "Master Wuyou, I have caused trouble to you and the temple recently." His eyes were full of gratitude and apology.

Wuyou clasped his hands together, with a gentle smile on his face, shook his head gently and said: "Prime Minister, you are too kind, everything is fate." His eyes were clear and calm, revealing a kind of open-mindedness that transcends the world.

Xi Yu stood up and said solemnly again: "Master, we will remember your kindness in our hearts. If we have a chance in the future, we will definitely repay you."

His expression was firm and his tone was sincere.

Wuyou smiled slightly and said: "Prime Minister, take care of yourself on the way, may the Buddha bless you with smooth and safe journey." His eyes showed blessings and expectations.

Xi Yu nodded, turned around and left with everyone, their figures gradually walked away under the reflection of the sun.

Zhao Yun and others continued to move forward.

The night wind blew quietly, bringing a hint of coolness.

Suddenly, several dark shadows rushed out from the roadside. They were all masked and wielding large swords with cold light in their hands.

One of the masked men shouted in a rough voice: "If you know what's good for you, leave the treasure behind!" His eyes showed greed behind the mask and stared at Zhao Yun and others.

Zhao Yun sneered and glanced at the masked men. He said disdainfully: "I didn't expect someone to have got the news. But do a few little guys have the courage to rob the treasure?"

His face was full of ridicule and contempt.

Chen Shou and his father were terrified and their bodies trembled uncontrollably. Zhao Yun looked at them and said calmly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you." His voice was firm and powerful, as if it had a magic that made people feel at ease.

Chen Shou raised his head, his eyes full of fear and helplessness, and said in a trembling voice: "General Zhao, these thieves are so vicious, we..."

Zhao Yun looked at him firmly.

"Don't worry, I, Zhao Yun, have been through hundreds of battles, how could I be afraid of these petty thieves."

Chen Shou's father held Chen Shou's hand tightly, his lips trembling and unable to speak.

Zhao Yun comforted him again: "Old man, don't panic, wait until I deal with these thieves, you can rest assured."

Another masked man was angered by Zhao Yun's attitude, waved his sword and stepped forward, roaring: "Stop talking nonsense! You have to hand over this treasure today, whether you want to or not!" His voice became a little sharp because of anger, and veins on his forehead bulged.

The soldiers beside Zhao Yun were all glaring, holding weapons in their hands, waiting for Zhao Yun's order.

Zhao Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and said coldly: "Then try it, do you have the ability!" His eyes revealed a sense of determination and fearlessness, as if the enemy in front of him was not a strong enemy, but an ant that could not withstand a single blow.

The masked men were shocked by Zhao Yun's momentum and hesitated for a moment, but their greed drove them to rush forward.

The masked man in the lead gnashed his teeth and shouted: "Brothers, go! Don't be fooled by him!"

Zhao Yun shouted: "Come on!" Then he drew his sword and rushed to the enemy in the front. He was agile and his sword was like a dragon, and every move was fierce.

A masked man tried to attack Zhao Yun from the side. Zhao Yun saw it from the corner of his eye, dodged sideways, and kicked the man to the ground.

He opened his eyes and roared: "With your tricks, you dare to be presumptuous in front of me!"

The soldiers next to him also fought with the masked man, and shouts of killing were heard everywhere.

Zhao Yun's sword flashed coldly in the moonlight, and wherever he went, the masked men retreated.

A masked man saw that the situation was not good, and he was timid and wanted to escape.

Zhao Yun rushed forward, put his sword against his throat, and shouted: "Tell me! Who sent you here?"

The masked man was so scared that he trembled all over and stammered: "It's... the village chief. He... he heard about the treasure and asked us to rob it."

Zhao Yun snorted coldly: "Go back and tell your village chief that if you dare to take the treasure, you will die!"

After that, he kicked the man away and continued to fight with the remaining masked men.

Not long after, the masked man was beaten and fled.

Zhao Yun put away his sword, looked at their embarrassed backs, and said coldly: "A bunch of rabble!"

The soldiers gathered around and exclaimed: "General Zhao is mighty!"

Zhao Yun looked serious and said: "Don't take it lightly. There will probably be more troubles on the road ahead." Everyone nodded and continued to move forward in the night.

Continue to move forward, passing through a forest, the surroundings were quiet and a little weird.

Suddenly, several figures flashed out from the woods, and they were a few masked men.

Zhao Yun sneered, his eyes were like torches, he scanned them, and taunted: "What? Are you here for the treasure too?"

There was no fear on his face.

A masked man shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, leave the treasure behind!" They waved their weapons, their eyes were fierce.

Zhao Yun frowned and asked: "I defeated the previous wave of masked men, are you in the same group?" His eyes were full of scrutiny and disdain. (End of this chapter)
