Xi Yu continued: "Linlin, I will send some secret guards and confidants to follow you to protect your safety. You must also be careful in the Kushan country, and everything must be put first."

"Thank you, husband. I will take good care of myself, you don't have to worry."

"That's good. You can prepare and have a good rest these days."

After saying that, Ouyang Linlin turned and left, her steps were light and her face was filled with a happy smile.

Xi Yu looked at her back and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that she could find the answer she wanted in Kushan Country.

On the other side, Jin Gushun rode his horse and galloped all the way.

At this time, it was getting late, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on the earth, giving people a peaceful and mysterious feeling.

Jin Gu looked at the surrounding wilderness and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He didn't know how long it would take to find a place to stay.

Just when he was feeling desperate, he suddenly saw a family in the mountains.

Jin Gushun was delighted and quickly rode his horse to the door of this family.

After he dismounted, he knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened and an old woman appeared in front of him.

Jin Gushun asked politely: "Hello, old man, I am a traveler passing by. Can I stay here for one night?"

The old woman looked at Jin Gushun up and down, and saw that he was dressed appropriately and behaved elegantly, and she felt a little fond of her heart.

She smiled and said, "Yes, come in."

When Jin Gushun heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

He walked into the house and saw that the house was arranged very simple but very neatly.

The old woman poured a glass of water for Jin Gushun and said, "You sit for a while, I'll prepare dinner for you."

Jin Gushun hurriedly said, "Thank you, old man. You don't have to worry, I'm not hungry."

The old woman smiled and said, "No trouble, you will definitely be hungry when you run around. You can sit for a while, and I will be fine soon."

After saying that, the old woman turned around and went into the kitchen.

Jin Gushun sat in the room and looked around.

After a while, he heard footsteps coming from outside, and then an old man walked in.

When the old man saw Jin Gushun, he showed a surprised expression on his face.

He asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Jin Gushun quickly stood up and said, "Hello, old man, I am a traveler passing by and want to stay here for one night."

After hearing this, the old man also looked at Jin Gushun up and down.

"Yes, you can stay here for one night."

"Thank you, old man. You are so good."

"No need to thank you. It's not easy to go out. You can sit for a while and I'll go and cook for the old lady."

After saying that, the old man turned around and went into the kitchen.

Jin Gushun sat in the room and felt very warm in his heart.

He felt that although the people in this mountain live in poverty, they were very kind and enthusiastic.

He decided to do more good things in the future to help those in need.

The old man frowned and walked into the kitchen without saying a word.

When the old woman saw his appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised and asked, "Old man, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy because I took in that young man?"

The old man shook his head, frowned, and replied with a confused look: "No, I just feel strange. When I first saw that young man, I always felt like I had seen it somewhere."

When the old woman heard this, she fell into deep thought. She tried to recall whether she had seen this young man, but she had no idea.

"Old man, don't think about it. Maybe you remembered it wrong. Let's cook quickly and don't let young people wait for a long time."

The old man nodded, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, but he still started cooking.

After a while, the food was ready. The old woman brought the food to the table and then ordered Jin Gushun to have a meal.

At the same time, Xi Yu sat in the study, holding a teacup in his hand, and remembered the incidents between Xiao Cui and Qian Guoqiang in his heart.

He frowned and thought to himself: "They are staying in the inn adjacent to Youzhou, which is probably a lot of money every day, so it is not a solution to continue like this."

So he made up his mind to send someone to give them some money to solve their urgent needs.

In the inn, Qian Guoqiang was lying on the bed, sighing.

"Why haven't it been solved yet?"

Xiao Cui was walking aside, looking anxious.

She stopped, looked at Qian Guoqiang, and said angrily: "Qian Guoqiang, what's wrong with you? Aren't you going to accompany me? Why are you complaining now?"

Qian Guoqiang sat up and said helplessly: "Xiao Cui, I don't want to do this either. But we have been here for so long and there is no news at all. I think this matter is not easy to deal with, so we should go back soon."

Xiao Cui became even more angry when she heard this. She glared at Qian Guoqiang and said, "How could you do this? You promised to accompany me at the beginning, but now you want to give up? I tell you, I will not give up!"

Qian Guoqiang looked at Xiao Cui's firm eyes and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

He sighed and said, "Xiao Cui, I know you are very determined. But it is not a solution for us to wait blindly like this. Why don't we think of other solutions?"

Just then, a knock sounded outside the door.

Xiao Cui opened the door and saw a servant standing at the door, holding some money in his hand.

The servant said, "This is given to you by the Prime Minister, I hope it can help you."

Xiao Cui took the silver and felt very grateful.

She said, "Thank you, Prime Minister. But we can't."

She was so flattered.

"Since the Prime Minister gives it to you, you can just take it. After all, you spend a lot of money these days."

The servant then turned and left.

Xiao Cui closed the door, returned to the room, handed the currency to Qian Guoqiang, and said, "Qian Guoqiang, look, this was sent by the Prime Minister. He still cares about us very much."

Qian Guoqiang looked at Yinzi and was also moved.

"The Prime Minister is really a good person, we can't give up."

After receiving Xi Yu's subsidy, Qian Guoqiang swept away the previous haze and showed a smile on his face.

His eyes narrowed into a slit, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes stretched out, and he said excitedly: "Haha, with this money, we can hold on for a while more!"

On the other side, Jin Gushun was sitting at the table, feeling uncomfortable having dinner with the old man and the old woman.

Because the old man looked at him carefully with a strange look from time to time.

The gaze was like a searchlight, making Jin Gushun's heart shine.

His brows couldn't help but frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion.

After a while, the old man seemed to finally remember something, and a trace of undetectable light flashed in his eyes.

But he remained silent and said calmly: "You can live in the room south tonight."

Jin Gushun nodded.

Then, the old man took the old woman's hand and the two quietly came to a hidden room.

The old man's face was full of seriousness, and he lowered his voice and said to the old woman: "Old woman, I remembered that this Jin Gushun is very similar to a person I knew before."

The old woman widened her eyes and asked in surprise: "Really? Who could it be?"

The old man frowned, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

"But you can't let him notice anything first." The old woman nodded, with a solemn expression on her face, as if she was thinking about the deep meaning of this.

The old man took a deep breath and said to the old woman slowly, "Old woman, this person looks very similar to a friend from the same village. You know, my companion has passed away long ago."

A complicated expression appeared on the old man's face, both nostalgic and doubtful.

The old woman's eyes widened slightly and she said in surprise: "Ah? Is there such a coincidence?"

The old man nodded confidently and said with a serious expression: "I am very sure that this person must be related to my companion."

His eyes flashed with the light of inquiry.

The old woman frowned and thought for a while, then said, "What are you going to do?"

"I plan to ask him carefully later and find out the relationship."

The old man sat on the chair, staring at Jin Gushun in front of him with a serious expression.

The old man slowly spoke, "Young man, what's your name? Where do you live?"

Jin Gushun honestly replied: "My name is Jin Gushun, and my family is in the Xianbei tribe in the north."

When the old man heard the word "Xianbei", his eyes suddenly widened, and his face showed an extremely surprised expression. He said in surprise: "Are you a Xianbei?"
