Chapter 783 Are You the Prime Minister?

Xiyu and Ouyang Lian stood at the entrance of Fangjun City, the autumn wind gently blew past, lifting the corners of their clothes.

Xiyu's face was serious, but there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes. He looked at Ouyang Lian and said, "Ouyang Lian, let's say goodbye here. You should do your best to manage Fangjun this time, and don't let the people down."

Ouyang Lian bowed slightly, with a respectful look.

"Thank you for the Prime Minister's love for the people. Don't worry, my subordinates will do their best to live up to your trust."

Xiyu nodded slightly.

"As the Prime Minister, it is my duty to seek the welfare of the people. Fangjun is an important place, you need to govern it with your heart to ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment."

After speaking, Xiyu turned around and rode away.

Ouyang Lian looked at Xiyu's back as he went away, and a feeling of admiration surged in his heart.

He secretly vowed to manage Fangjun in an orderly manner and live up to the Prime Minister's trust.

Ouyang Lian returned to Fangjun City and immediately plunged into the busy government affairs.

A few days later, Xiyu rode a horse and walked slowly on the streets of Youzhou.

When the people saw him, they greeted him enthusiastically. Xiyu smiled and responded one by one. The smile was as warm as the spring breeze, which made people feel close to him.

The sound of horse hooves clattered, and Xiyu passed by Hu Lin's shop.

At this time, Hu Lin was busy, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

He looked up inadvertently, and his eyes froze instantly. That familiar figure, wasn't it the friend he had been with before?

But why did everyone respect him as the prime minister? Hu Lin was full of shock. Could he be the prime minister?

Hu Lin stared at Xiyu blankly, and forgot the work in his hands for a while.

Xiyu seemed to have noticed Hu Lin's gaze, turned his head and looked, and when their eyes met, Xiyu nodded slightly.

Hu Lin stood there, his mind was like a mess.

After a moment, he could no longer suppress his doubts and walked quickly to Xiyu's side.

His voice was trembling, and he murmured, "Are you the prime minister?"

Xiyu nodded slightly, his expression calm.

Hu Lin's expression became complicated in an instant, and an indescribable discomfort surged in his heart.

Prime Minister? Isn't that his rival in love?

A trace of hostility flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Xiyu viciously.

However, Xiyu just frowned slightly, a little surprised by his reaction.

Hu Lin was deadlocked for a while, then turned back to the shop with heavy steps.

Xiyu understood. This kid regarded himself as a rival in love. He shook his head helplessly, and sighed in his heart: Is it necessary? He and Wenxuan are just ordinary friends.

Xiyu wanted to explain, but looking at Hu Lin's back as he left angrily, he knew that it would be useless to say anything at this time.

He sighed lightly and continued to ride forward.

Xiyu returned home, and his fatigue made him eager to rest for a while.

However, as soon as he sat down, Gan Mei came hurriedly.

"My husband, someone sent a letter." Gan Mei handed the letter to Xi Yu respectfully.

Gan Mei looked at Xi Yu with concern in her eyes, and then asked: "My husband, where have you been recently?"

Xi Yu slightly relaxed his brows and said softly: "I went to Fang Jun to deal with some things."

Gan Mei nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "There must be something important in the letter. It is not convenient for me to be here, so I will leave first."

Gan Mei turned around slowly and left lightly.

Xi Yu gently opened the letter, looked at the contents of the letter attentively, and his expression gradually became solemn.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of paper flipping could be heard, and Xi Yu fell into deep thought.

Xi Yu stared at the letter in his hand. It turned out to be a reply from the king of the Parthian Kingdom, and the letter also attached a portrait of the princess.

His eyes fell on the portrait, and his eyes lit up instantly. The princess in the painting was beautiful and charming, and the charm made him think of the portrait he had lost, and the woman in it was also vivid.

A strong impulse surged in Xiyu's heart, and he decided to start a large-scale search for the lost portrait.

After a moment, he immediately ordered the soldiers to go out and find several painters.

The soldiers took the order and quickly searched around the city for skilled painters.

Not long after, several painters were brought to Xiyu.

Xiyu pointed to the portrait of the princess of the Parthian Kingdom and said seriously: "Draw a few more copies for me according to this portrait, and prepare to post them on a large scale."

The painters responded respectfully and immediately started to paint.

Xiyu stood aside, his eyes full of expectations.

He believed that by posting portraits on a large scale, he would definitely find the lost princess.

Xiyu stared at the busy figures of the painters, but his thoughts gradually drifted away.

Unconsciously, a picture emerged in his mind-he and the princess of the Parthian Kingdom became husband and wife, a grand wedding, full of joy.

However, as soon as this picture appeared, Xiyu was startled.

He thought to himself, am I too greedy? He already has so many wives, why is he still thinking about other women?

Xiyu shook his head gently, with a self-deprecating smile on his face.

Perhaps this is a common problem for men, who are always easily attracted by beautiful women.

But Xiyu also knew that he was indeed selfish, just like the Kushan Empire. If he didn't want to help, then he wouldn't help. As a great country, there was no need to look at other people's faces.

But why is he so concerned about the Parthian Empire? Isn't it because of this beautiful princess? Of course, he didn't care last time, but since he lost the portrait, he has become concerned now.

This is probably the will of God.

And in the letter just now, the king also said that there is definite evidence that the princess has indeed drifted to the Han Empire.

So Xiyu thinks that this is a gift from God. Maybe God has destined him to meet the Princess of Parthia. He said silently in his heart, I wonder where this beautiful princess is?

The painters have painted many portraits, and there are already hundreds of them in one day.

Xiyu plans to let the soldiers post them tomorrow.

On the second day, many soldiers followed Xiyu's order and posted them outside.

It caused a lot of sensation for a while, and it was said that whoever can find clues will definitely get a lot of rewards.

So many people slowly spread the news, but many people thought that even though they offered so much reward, it would be hard to find the person.

So for many people, this was not an opportunity, but only a source of envy.

On the other hand, after Hu Lin found Xi Yu that day, he was distracted every day.

What made him feel painful was why he loved Wenxuan so much? He ran so far for Wenxuan and stayed here to work.

But why did the other party look down on him? But why was he so cheap?

Why did he pursue her when she obviously didn't love him? Wouldn't it be better for him to let go?

On this day, he couldn't work well because of his thoughts.

Coincidentally, Lin Dajiang came back from outside and saw him in a daze, so he asked him what was going on and why he didn't do the work at hand at all?

Hu Lin sighed.

Lin Dajiang pointed at his nose viciously and said, how many times has he been like this since he came here?

He looked dull and didn't work at all. Is he just here to eat for free? He slapped him in the face.

Hu Lin never thought that Lin Dajiang would hit him. He looked at Lin Dajiang viciously.

Lin Dajiang said: "What are you looking at? You don't work and just eat my rice. Can't I hit you?"

Hu Lin was very angry at this time. The previous few times were because he accommodated Lin Dajiang. Although he did not do well, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he slapped him back. This time, Lin Dajiang was stunned.

"You beast, is it wrong for me to hit you? You actually hit me, you are so crazy."

So the two people started fighting directly.

But Lin Dajiang was an old man after all, and his strength was naturally not as good as Hu Lin.

So soon, Hu Lin grabbed his neck and knocked him down.

At this time, Hu Lin was like a crazy man, beating Lin Dajiang.

Lin Dajiang shouted loudly: "Let me go, let me go."

But it was useless. Hu Lin seemed to have lost his mind at this moment.

Hu Lin became more and more angry as he beat him. Gradually, he strangled Lin Dajiang to death until Lin Dajiang opened his eyes wide, stopped talking, and stopped moving.

Hu Lin realized something and hurried to check the other person's breath, but found that the other person was dead.

He was shocked. How could he kill someone? He had never done such a thing before.

But he was a little flustered and his arms were shaking. He thought he should run away now.

Hu Lin began to run out frantically and ran into a forest without knowing it. At this moment, he put his hand on a tree. He felt that his body was about to fall down, and this tree became his support.

He suddenly began to spit saliva frantically, and he felt a little sick.

How did he kill someone?

It still feels a little incredible.

But fortunately, there were only two of them in the store at that time, and no one outside saw it, so naturally no one would report to the police or something like that.

He thought of the root of the matter again. To be honest, wasn't it Wenxuan who made the trouble? If Wenxuan had agreed to him earlier, he wouldn't have stayed here, and a series of things wouldn't have happened later.

He thought that all this was caused by Wenxuan, and a vicious light appeared on his face.

He really wanted to kill Wenxuan, but he couldn't bear to do it.

And Xiyu had been paying attention to the portrait. A whole day had passed, and there was no clue.

Xiyu certainly understood that the Han Kingdom was so huge, how could it be possible to find someone all at once?

A few days passed quietly, but there was still no progress in the search for the princess of the Parthian Kingdom. No one found the princess's trace, and no useful clues were provided.

Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, Lu Su hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion on this day.

He looked flustered and anxious.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Su asked the soldiers to report quickly, claiming that he had something urgent to see the Prime Minister.

Seeing that Lu Su was so anxious, the soldiers did not dare to delay and quickly asked him to go in.

Xi Yu was thinking about the next plan in the study. He heard the movement outside and looked up to see Lu Su hurriedly walking in.

Xi Yu frowned slightly and asked, "Zijing, why are you so panicked? What happened?"

Lu Su breathed heavily, trying to calm down his emotions, and then said eagerly: "Prime Minister, something serious has happened..."

Xi Yu saw Lu Su suddenly start crying, and his heart tightened, and he quickly said: "Zijing, don't cry. If you have anything to say, please speak slowly."

Lu Su held back his tears and said with a trembling voice: "Prime Minister, Teacher Wenxuan is missing. Specifically speaking, it is not missing, because someone also sent a letter."

Xi Yu was shocked when he heard this. Wenxuan has always had a special place in his heart, and now that he heard that she was missing, he was extremely anxious.

He immediately said: "Zijing, please tell me the specific process."

Lu Su took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and began to tell what happened: "This morning, when Teacher Wenxuan was in class, he did not go to class. When he was confused, a stranger sent a letter, The letter stated that Teacher Wenxuan is in their hands, and asked Prime Minister you..." Lu Su said this, hesitating a little, not knowing whether to continue.

Xi Yu's eyes flashed and he urged: "What do you think of the truth? Keep talking."

Xi Yu was in a state of confusion at this time. Looking at Lu Su's anxious look, he also knew the seriousness of this matter.

Lu Su remembered the letter he was carrying and quickly took it out and handed it to Xi Yu.

Xi Yu quickly took it, and he naturally understood that Lu Su was so panicked because he missed Wenxuan.

Xi Yu opened the letter and quickly scanned the paper. When he saw the signature, his face became even more gloomy.

The letter turned out to be written by Hu Lin. It said that Wenxuan was in his hands and the prime minister must go to a designated place to meet him, otherwise Wenxuan's life would be in danger.

Xi Yu secretly cursed "Damn it", and the previous scenes of seeing Hu Lin reappeared in his mind.

This Hu Lin acted so recklessly.

However, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was not true that Wenxuan could not be found.

Now that there are clues to follow, it can be considered a bit of relief.

Xi Yu began to calm down and thought about how to deal with it.

Lu Su said anxiously: "I have also read the letter. I didn't know what was written at the time, but the letter also strictly asked me to come and deliver the letter. Prime Minister, what should I do?"

Xi Yu's face was solemn.

"In that case, I will go to that place quickly. Wenxuan must be rescued immediately."

After hearing this, Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I feel relieved. I hope the Prime Minister can arrive safely and rescue Teacher Wenxuan safely."

Then, Lu Su added: "This man named Hu Lin once went to the college to find Wenxuan. He was like a dog-skin plaster. Teacher Wenxuan didn't like him, but he wanted to stick to him."

Xi Yu frowned slightly, feeling even more dissatisfied with Hu Lin's behavior.

But at the moment, he had no time to take care of this. His mind was full of how to rescue Wenxuan as soon as possible.

Xi Yu said decisively to Lu Su: "Zijing, go back quickly. I will take action immediately."

Lu Su nodded, turned and left.

His steps were hurried, and although he was still worried in his heart, he also knew that he could no longer waste Xi Yu's time at this time.

After Lu Su returned to Youzhou College, he breathed a long sigh of relief. However, his heart was not as peaceful as it seemed. In fact, his worries about Wenxuan were not entirely for Wenxuan.

Wenxuan had a special status and had a particularly good relationship with Xiyu. If Wenxuan made a mistake, it would be difficult for him to explain it to himself. So just now in front of Xi Yu, I was half-truth and half-false.

Lu Su paced back and forth in the academy, secretly thinking about the follow-up development of this matter.

At this time, Xi Yu had already begun intensive preparations to rescue Wenxuan.

Although the letter did not explicitly say that he should go there alone, Xi Yu decided to go alone. Otherwise, if Hu Lin was annoyed, the other party might jump over the wall, which would be really detrimental to Wenxuan.

Because it is normal for a person to hate because of love, and crazy things may happen, so he must not take it lightly.

Xi Yu followed the instructions in the letter and hurried towards the final location.

It was a quiet dense forest. Xi Yu walked through the dense forest and soon discovered a small stone house.

He secretly thought to himself, could Wenxuan be inside?

Xi Yu rode his horse to the door of the small stone house and got off his horse.

He stood at the door and shouted: "Is there anyone there?" The voice echoed in the dense forest, but no one responded.

Xi Yu frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart.

He cautiously approached the door of the stone house and pushed it gently.

But there was nothing inside.

Xiyu walked around the stone house, trying to find other entrances or clues.

However, there is nothing around the stone house except dense woods. He returned to the door again, anxious.

Where is Wenxuan? Where is Hurin?

And Xi Yu walked through the entire dense forest from beginning to end, but there was no one there.

He really felt incredible, what on earth was going on? Why did Hulin call him here?

Even if you ask yourself to do something, at least you have to see yourself.

He felt as if he had been deceived. Could it be that Hu Lin had moved the location?

The reason why I didn't inform myself was just to fool myself.

He secretly said viciously that if Hu Lin really had any special thoughts, he would definitely not let him go or cut him into pieces.

After a while, Xi Yu let himself breathe a sigh of relief.

Since he was here, he had to wait here, but the sun had slowly set, the sky had cooled down, and there was still no sign of him.

He had to admit that he was indeed fooled by Hu Lin, but the other party was in the dark and he was in the light.

How could he talk to the other party?

And suddenly there were many bad thoughts in his mind. Could it be that Wen Xuan had encountered an accident now? (End of this chapter)
