Chapter 722 Traveling in the Rain

Ouyang Linlin nodded slightly, with a hint of shock still in her eyes, and said softly: "What your husband said is absolutely true, but this bloody scene is really shocking."

Xi Yu consoled him, "Don't be afraid. If these evil people are punished, there will be less trouble in the future."

In Youzhou, Zhao Yun has been feeling restless in recent days, frowning because Xi Yu has not returned.

He paced back and forth in the camp, looking into the distance from time to time, thinking to himself: "My lord has been on this trip, why hasn't he returned yet? Could it be that something happened to him?"

He thought that if Xiyu came back, he would be fine if he punished him quickly, but now he was feeling uneasy and restless.

Zhao Yun crossed his arms, his eyes full of anxiety: "My lord, my lord, when will you come back? Waiting like this is really torture."

Zhao Yun let out a long sigh and said to himself: "I feel like I have a rabbit in my heart, jumping around all the time. If my lord doesn't come back, I'm afraid I will be driven crazy by this torture."

He walked to the door of the camp again, looked at the horizon in the distance, and murmured: "It would be nice to have even a little news of the return of the lord."

At this time, a gust of wind blew by, ruffling Zhao Yun's hair, but it could not dispel the worry in his heart.

In addition, in Youzhou College, Wenxuan frowned slightly, having not seen Xi Yu for a long time.

She thought to herself for a moment and then made up her mind: "I want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit."

Wenxuan walked in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion with light steps and determination in his eyes.

When Wenxuan arrived at Xiyu's house, he discovered that Xiyu hadn't been home for a long time.

Her face was full of surprise and worry. She stood in the courtyard of the mansion and murmured to herself: "How could this be? I wonder where he went?"

Wenxuan returned to the college and walked absentmindedly in the courtyard.

She lowered her head and frowned, her mind filled with things that Xi Yu had not returned to for a long time.

Suddenly, Dongfanghong saw her.

Dongfang Hong walked over quickly, saw her thoughtful look, and asked with concern: "Wenxuan, what's wrong with you? You have a sad look on your face."

Wenxuan raised his head, with worry in his eyes, and said slowly: "I haven't seen Xi Yu for a long time. It turns out that he has been out for so long."

After hearing this, Dongfang Hong suddenly realized, and couldn't help but feel worried in her heart, saying, "That's true. I don't know if he is okay outside."

Wenxuan turned his head, forced a smile at Dongfang Hong, and said, "I hope so, but I'm always worried."

Dongfang Hong frowned and said thoughtfully: "Maybe we can inquire and see if we can get any news about him."

Wenxuan's eyes lit up, then dimmed again. He shook his head and said, "Who can I ask? I don't even know where he went."

At this time, a breeze blew by, ruffling Wenxuan's hair. She raised her hand to smooth her hair, her expression becoming more and more depressed.

Dongfang Hong looked at Wenxuan, feeling helpless and said, "Just wait, maybe he will suddenly appear one day."

After a while, Dongfanghong left.

Wenxuan stood alone, feeling that everything around him had become dull, and a feeling of boredom filled his heart.

She bit her lips lightly and thought to herself: It would be better to go for a walk, and go farther to see the countryside. After all, I had this hobby before.

Thinking of this, Wenxuan's eyes gained a hint of expectation, and she walked towards the outside of the college with firm steps.

Wenxuan unknowingly came to a village, which was the tribe where Xi Zhicai lived. I saw Xi Zhicai leisurely fishing in a place, with a relaxed look and a very comfortable life.

He held the fishing rod in his hand and stared intently at the water with a faint smile on his lips, as if the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him.

When Wenxuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little envious, thinking: This is the real free life.

Although Xi Zhicai was protected, the protector only watched from a distance.

Xi Zhi just came back from fishing and started pruning the grapes.

He held the scissors and pruned the branches and leaves carefully. Suddenly, his heart moved and he realized that he had not contacted Xi Yu for a long time.

He stopped what he was doing and raised his head slightly. After thinking for a moment, he decided to write a letter to tell Xi Yu that everything was fine with him.

Xi Zhicai raised the corners of his mouth and said to himself: "I think Xi Yu can feel more at ease knowing that I know the situation here."

Xi Zhi put down the scissors, turned around and walked into the house, took out a pen and paper, sat down at the table, dipped his pen in ink, and his thoughts were flying.

He wrote: "My brother Xiyu, we haven't corresponded for a long time. Are you okay? I live a peaceful life here, fishing and pruning branches every day, which is quite comfortable. Although you are not by my side, I am free from worries. Hope you all are safe. If things go well, don’t miss me.”

After writing, Xi Zhi carefully folded the letter paper and prepared to send it out.

At this time, several birdsong came from the window, and Xi Zhi looked out the window, expecting Xi Yu's response after receiving the letter.

Xi Zhi then sealed the letter, called a confidant, solemnly handed the letter into his hands, and warned: "This letter must be delivered to Xi Yu as soon as possible without any mistakes."

The confidant took the letter and said respectfully: "Sir, don't worry, you will definitely fulfill your mission."

After his cronies left, Xi Zhicai walked under the grape trellis again, looking at the neatly pruned branches and leaves, thinking silently in his heart: I wonder what Xi Yu is doing now, and whether he is as peaceful and peaceful as me. .

As the breeze blew by, Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying this moment of tranquility and leisure.

Xi Yu and others continued to ride their horses, getting closer and closer to Youzhou. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of him. It was Wenxuan who was leisurely sightseeing on horseback. Unknowingly, he left Youzhou.

When Wenxuan saw the four of Xi Yu, his eyes were wide open, his face was full of disbelief, and his mouth was slightly open. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and shouted in surprise: "Xi Yu, it's really you!"

Wenxuan talked excitedly with everyone, as if he had endless things to say. Xi Yu smiled and told Wenxuan about his experiences along the way. Wenxuan listened with rapt attention, sometimes amazed and sometimes laughing.

Wenxuan said: "I came out alone to relax, but I never thought I would meet you. I am so lucky." Her eyes wandered over Xi Yu and others, full of joy.

Xi Yu said: "This may be fate. Next, you might as well go forward with us."

Wenxuan happily agreed, his eyes full of expectation.

Everyone mounted their horses again and continued their return journey with laughter and laughter.

Along the way, the sun shone on them, reflecting warm outlines.

Wenxuan and Xiyu rode side by side, constantly communicating with each other about their current situation. Wenxuan talked about his time in the academy, while Xiyu shared anecdotes he encountered along the way.

Suddenly, a hare jumped out of the grass, causing everyone to scream. Wenxuan smiled and said, "This little rabbit really adds a bit of fun to our journey."

Unconsciously, the sun gradually set towards the west, and a gorgeous sunset appeared on the horizon. Looking at the beautiful scenery, Wenxuan couldn't help but sigh: "Such a beautiful scenery, I really hope I can freeze it at this moment forever."

Xi Yu turned to look at Wenxuan and said softly: "There will be more good times waiting for us in the future."

In this warm atmosphere, everyone continued to move towards Youzhou.

It was raining heavily that day, and Wenxuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, because she had to rush back and go to the college to attend class tomorrow.

Xi Yu and others seemed unhurried, after all, they could rest in the inn.

Although Xi Yu tried his best to persuade her to stay, saying: "Wenxuan, it's raining so hard, don't leave, stay here and make plans tomorrow."

But Wenxuan knew in her heart that the rules of the college could not be abolished. She bit her lip and said firmly: "No, Xi Yu, I have to go back. I can't violate the rules of the college."

After saying that, she tightened the reins and prepared to rush into the rain.

Seeing Wenxuan's determination, Xi Yu frowned slightly and said worriedly, "Then you must be careful. The rain is too heavy and the road is slippery."

Wenxuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention." After saying that, she put her horse's belly under her and rushed into the vast rain.

Xi Yu looked at her retreating figure, his heart filled with concern.

Back in the inn room, Xi Yu stood in front of the window, looking at the heavy rain outside the window, and murmured to himself: "I hope Wenxuan can return to the college safely."

As for Wenxuan, who was trudging forward in the rain, her whole body was already soaked. The rain blurred her vision, but she only had one thought in her mind: she must rush back to the college on time.

In another room, Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong both saw this scene.

Xiao Hong's expression became even more nervous and she couldn't help but say, "Miss, I think Xi Yu and Wen Xuan like each other."

Ouyang Linlin smiled slightly and said softly: "Maybe Wenxuan is interested in the Prime Minister, but the husband probably won't like him. Moreover, Wenxuan seems to have a special personality. Others may think that his husband is very good, but others may not like him. "

Xiaohong frowned and asked doubtfully: "Miss, why do you say that?"

Ouyang Linlin sighed softly and explained: "Looking at Wenxuan's insistence on returning to the academy in the rain, you know that she is not a woman who will be easily trapped by love."

Xiaohong nodded in understanding, still looking at the rain outside the window from time to time.

Then, Ouyang Linlin suddenly changed her eyes and asked Xiaohong a question: "Xiaohong, you have reached the age of marriage, do you have someone you like?"

Xiao Hong's face immediately turned as red as a ripe apple, and she quickly waved her hand and said, "Miss, I won't get married. I will serve you for the rest of my life."

Ouyang Linlin frowned slightly and said seriously: "Absolutely not, how can I delay your lifelong event."

Xiao Hong said anxiously: "Miss, I am sincerely willing to serve you, and I have never thought about anything else."

Ouyang Linlin took Xiaohong's hand and said sincerely: "Silly girl, I know you are loyal, but women have to start a family."

Xiaohong's voice became louder unconsciously because of her excitement: "Miss, I'm really not happy!"

At this moment, Xi Yu walked in and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so noisy?"

Ouyang Linlin smiled helplessly and told the whole story: "Husband, I asked Xiaohong if she would like someone when she reached the marriageable age. The girl was very excited and said that she would not get married and would serve me all her life. I advised her , she is still not happy."

Xi Yu frowned slightly and said solemnly: "I have discussed this issue, and she said the same thing at the time."

Ouyang Linlin frowned slightly and sighed deeply, her expression full of helplessness and worry.

Seeing this, Xiaohong stepped forward quickly, with a sincere and brilliant smile on her face, and firmness in her eyes. She took Ouyang Linlin's hand and said, "Miss, you don't have to sigh, I really think this kind of life is special." hapiness."

Xiao Hong thought in her heart that being able to always be by the young lady's side and help her solve her problems was her greatest satisfaction. Even if there was no marriage, she would have no regrets.

Ouyang Linlin opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, she was stopped by Xiyu.

Xiyu shook his head slightly, with a hint of seriousness on his face, and said: "Let's not talk about this topic anymore."

Her eyes revealed a trace of unquestionable, as if she was afraid that continuing this topic would cause more trouble.

Ouyang Linlin's face was full of reluctance, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes revealed a trace of eagerness, as if she wanted to refute Xiyu's decision.

But seeing Xiyu's resolute expression, she finally swallowed the words that were on her lips, just biting her lips lightly, with a helpless look on her face.

Xiaohong stood aside, looking at Ouyang Linlin, and then at Xiyu, her face full of confusion and puzzlement, but she was muttering in her heart: "What's going on? Why are you suddenly not allowed to talk?"

But she didn't dare to say much, just lowered her head silently and fiddled with the corner of her clothes.

For a moment, the room fell into an awkward silence, with only the occasional bird calls outside the window breaking the oppressive silence.

On the other side, Wenxuan held the reins tightly and continued to ride, with the horse's hooves raising clouds of dust.

When passing a place, the water in front of him was surging and the waves were rolling. The water was amazingly large.

When the horse stepped into it, the whole body of the horse was almost submerged, and the water hit the horse's legs, making a huge noise.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly whistled, the wind sound was sharp and piercing, and the branches were shaking and the leaves were falling.

The sudden gust of wind scared Wenxuan, her face turned pale in an instant, and her heart was pounding.

She subconsciously tightened the reins, trying to stabilize the frightened horse, her eyes full of fear and tension.

Wenxuan tried to calm her panic, and kept soothing the frightened horse under her crotch: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we can get through it."

However, the horse kept snorting and stamping its hooves in the water, as if trying to break free from this terrible predicament.

The wind was still whistling in her ears, making Wenxuan's clothes rustle.

Her hair was blown into a mess, and her eyes were almost blinded by the wind and sand.

But she didn't dare to slack off at all, holding the reins tightly, leaning forward, trying her best to control the situation.

The surrounding water flow became more and more turbulent, and the huge impact made the horse's pace stagger.

Beads of sweat appeared on Wenxuan's forehead, sliding down her cheeks and mixing with the splashing water.

She secretly complained in her heart: "What should I do? Am I going to die here today?"

Just when Wenxuan was almost desperate, the wind gradually subsided, and the horse seemed to calm down a little.

She saw the right moment, kicked the horse's belly, and shouted, "Go!" The horse leaped with all its might, and finally rushed out of the deep water area with Wenxuan.

Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief, slumped on the horse's back, looking at the still surging water behind him, and was full of gratitude for surviving the disaster.

But Wenxuan's clothes were soaked, and they were heavy on her body. Every breeze brought a piercing chill. Although she rushed out of that dangerous place, she felt cold all over, her teeth trembled uncontrollably, and the ups and downs made a "crackling" sound.

Her lips were frozen purple, her face was as pale as paper, and her body couldn't stop shaking.

At this moment, she felt as if she was in an ice cellar, and the chill penetrated from her skin to her bones, and from her bones to the depths of her soul.

Wenxuan hugged her arms tightly, trying to bring herself a little warmth, but the weak body temperature was of no help in the face of this cold.

She looked at the unknown road ahead, and a feeling of sadness rose in her heart: "I wonder how long this cold will torture me."

Next, Wenxuan finally couldn't resist the cold and fatigue, and his eyes went dark and he fainted.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the big raindrops fell mercilessly, soaking her whole body.

The rain flowed down her cheeks, mixed with sweat, and stuck her already messy hair tightly to her face.

Her unconscious body looked so fragile and helpless in the rain.

The strong wind was still raging, whistling, as if laughing at Wenxuan's embarrassment.

And she just lay quietly on the ground, letting the rain wash over her, as if she had merged with the bad weather.

In the inn, Xiyu looked at the worsening weather outside the window, and his worries became heavier, so he thought of Wenxuan again. He frowned and turned to walk out the door.

Seeing this, Ouyang Linlin hurried forward to hold him and said, "Husband, there is no need to go out. Wenxuan is not a child, can't he hide from the rain? Besides, he has already walked so far, how can you catch up with him?"

There was a hint of anger in her eyes, and her tone was a little anxious.

After hearing her words, Xi Yu stopped and stood there thinking for a moment.

He thought about the situation Wenxuan might face, and thought that what Ouyang Linlin said was indeed reasonable. He couldn't help but sighed and muttered to himself: "Alas, I can only hope that she will be safe."

Then, he sat back in the chair helplessly, his eyes still glanced out the window from time to time, and his full of worries were hard to dissipate.

In the second half of the night, the rain finally stopped.

The dark clouds gradually dissipated, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the earth.

The air was filled with a faint floral scent, which seemed to have substance, lingering on the tip of the nose, making people intoxicated.

The moist soil smell mixed with the fragrance of flowers formed a unique and charming smell, as if it was a precious gift given to the world by nature after the baptism of the rain.

The breeze blew gently, carrying this fragrance, passing through every corner, soothing people's tired hearts. (End of this chapter)
