At night, Zhao Qiang sat in the room with candlelight swaying, rubbing the pen in his hand on the paper, and he decided to write a letter to Xi Yu.

The words in the letter are as cold as a blade, revealing his determination and threat.

"Xi Yu, I have Wu Guotai in my hand. You must do what I said and go to the designated place. If you don't come, the consequences will be unimaginable." Zhao Qiang's brushstrokes seemed to convey the anger and determination in his heart to Xi Yu.

Tomorrow, he will find someone to deliver the letter to Youzhou.

He naturally didn't know that Xi Yu went to Jiangnan to pick up Wu Guotai.

In this ordinary dilapidated house, there are two rooms, one in the inner room and one outhouse.

And Wu Guotai lived in the inner room.

She still kept praying to God and Buddha.

When Zhao Qiang saw this kind of scene, he always sneered.

What's the use of doing these? You can't escape my palm.

But as Wu Guotai recited the Buddha's name, his mood gradually calmed down.

She also hopes that Zhao Qiang will not commit another murder.

As long as this doesn't happen, it doesn't matter if you sin first.

Zhao Qiang arrived at a certain post station the next day, then handed over the letter and sent someone to Youzhou to give it to Xi Yu.

Wu Guotai was very honest by his side.

Because if he had a fuss, Zhao Qiang would kill people at will.

In the inn, Xi Yu sat quietly beside Xiao Cui's bed.

"Xiao Cui, you must get better soon. We are still on the way." Xi Yu's voice was gentle and powerful.

A trace of guilt appeared on Xiao Cui's face.

"It's all my fault, I've delayed my trip..."

"Don't think so, your health is important. Rest with peace of mind and wait until you are done, and we will continue to rush."

Xi Yu's eyes fell on Xiao Cui's face. He saw the uneasiness and self-blame in her eyes, and his heart couldn't help but feel ache.

Xi Yu sat silently in front of the window, frowned slightly, and gently tapped the tabletop with his fingers.

He silently planned his days in his heart, and Wu Guotai should have arrived in Youzhou.

A hint of expectation revealed in his eyes, imagining the scene of Wu Guotai and Sun Shangxiang meeting.

He seemed to see Wu Guotai's kind face, filled with a happy smile, while Sun Shangxiang rushed over and threw herself into Wu Guotai's arms. The two hugged each other and cried.

A warm current surged in Xi Yu's heart, and he was happy for them.

He knew that this reunion was of great significance to Wu Guotai and Sun Shangxiang, which was the fusion of warmth and joy of family affection.

However, a hint of melancholy appeared in Xi Yu's heart.

He remembered his past life.

I remembered those relatives who were never able to meet again.

An inexplicable sadness surged in Xi Yu's heart.

A trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, and tears slid down unknowingly.

Xi Yu wiped it silently.

At this time, Xiao Cui walked over and saw his strangeness.

"Prime Minister, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Xiao Cui's voice was filled with concern.

Xi Yu shook his head slightly and tried hard to squeeze out a smile.

"Nothing, Xiao Cui, I just suddenly remembered something."

Xiao Cui sat next to him gently and said gently: "If you want, you can talk to me. Maybe it will be better to say it."

Xi Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I remembered those people and things that happened in the past, and it flashed in my mind like a dream."

Xiao Cui listened quietly, she could feel the pain and helplessness in Xi Yu's heart.

But Xi Yu didn't plan to tell her the secret of time travel.

Sun Ce was pale in the study, his face pale, his eyes full of worry and despair.

Zhang Zhao stood by silently, looking at Sun Ce's appearance, and was also very anxious.

"There is still no news about her mother..." Sun Ce murmured to himself, "Who kidnapped her? What is the purpose? If it is for money, why don't you write a letter to blackmail?"

Zhang Zhao frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "Lord, my subordinates think that this matter may not be just for money. Perhaps, there is a deeper conspiracy behind this..."

"Conspiracy?" Sun Ce stopped suddenly and stared at Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao nodded. "It may be that someone is targeting the Prime Minister. He has a close relationship with the lord. Perhaps this person wants to threaten the Prime Minister by kidnapping Wu Guotai..."

Sun Ce's face became gloomy and he clenched his fists.

"No matter who dares to touch my mother, I must make this person pay the price!"

He turned to Zhuge Jin and said, "Hurry up and go find the Prime Minister! He should have returned to Youzhou."

Zhuge Jin took the order and left. Sun Ce's eyes were staring at the door, as if he could see Xi Yu in the distance through the door.

If it weren't for his discomfort, he would also want to go to Youzhou immediately.

Sun Ce's face was haggard, and his eyes revealed endless worries.

Zhang Zhao looked solemn and comforted softly: "Lord, you must take care of yourself. If your body collapses at this time, then the situation will be bad."

Sun Ce nodded slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I know, just my mother is in danger, how can I not worry?"

Zhang Zhao sighed and said slowly: "Lord, the people of Taiji in Wu Kingdom have their own appearance and will be safe and sound. You need to stay calm so that we can come up with solutions."

Sun Ce took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He looked at Zhang Zhao, and a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes: "You are right, I can't mess around."

Jia Xu sat at home, feeling secretly proud.

He was originally a little worried that the county magistrate Wang Liang would come to cause trouble for him again, but now he found that the other party did not appear again.

His mood suddenly became much more relaxed.

"It seems that this county magistrate is quite sensible." Jia Xu thought to himself, "He must have known that I am the prime minister, so he dare not touch me easily."

A satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he felt a little more confident in his position and influence.

Jia Xu felt that his judgment was correct. He believed that as long as he followed the right person, he would get enough protection.

However, while being proud, Jia Xu couldn't help but think about the attitude of the county magistrate Wang Liang.

He began to wonder whether the other party was really afraid of Xi Yu and did not dare to do anything, or was planning other conspiracies in secret.

This thinking made Jia Xu feel a little uneasy, but he quickly suppressed this uneasy.

Tell yourself not to worry too much, as long as there is a show, he will not be in any danger.

In the past few days, Sun Shangxiang has frequently stepped into Ouyang Linlin's boudoir.

"You are here again." Ouyang Linlin greeted with a smile.

"Well, I'm still a little worried." Sun Shangxiang frowned and looked worried.

"Don't worry, let's go to the Buddhist temple to pray together, and the Buddha will bless everything well." Ouyang Linlin comforted.

The two of them held hands and walked towards the Buddhist temple together.

"I hope my mother is safe and sound, and I hope our wishes can come true..." Sun Shangxiang silently recited in his heart.

After the prayer was over, they stood up slowly.

"Don't worry too much." Ouyang Linlin comforted softly, "Auntie will definitely arrive safely."

"But several days have passed, and I still haven't received any news from my mother. I'm really scared..."

Sun Shangxiang's concerns became increasingly greater.

"We have already prayed for our aunt in the Buddhist temple, and the Buddha will definitely bless her."

Sun Shangxiang nodded and felt a little calmer. She walked out with Ouyang Linlin.

Another day, the morning sun shone through the window on Xiao Cui's face. She opened her eyes slightly and felt much more relaxed.

Xiao Cui smiled and said to some people: "Prime Minister, I feel much better, we can set off."

Xi Yu frowned and asked worriedly: "Is it really okay? You didn't say that just to comfort me, right?"

Xiao Cui shook her head gently and said seriously: "Really, can I still not know my own body? It is indeed much better than before."

Xi Yu was still a little hesitant.

"But... I'm still not relieved."

"Sir, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. You still have important things to do and you can't delay any more."
