Chapter 679 Guan Yu goes to Fangjun(1/2)

Another man quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, we have no idea about Mount Tai, please let us go."

Tuoba Yu snorted coldly: "If I had known this, why would I have been there? If there was another time, I would have been spared!"

Several men nodded repeatedly, their eyes full of fear and regret.

Tuoba Yu's face was gloomy and his eyes were like a torch. He stared at the men in front of him and asked sternly: "Did you deceive Mr. Chen?"

The men were frightened by Tuoba Yu's momentum, and their bodies trembled, nodded quickly, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes... it's us, we admit that it's true."

Chen Shou sneered from the side, his eyes full of contempt: "Hmph! Now I know I'm afraid? Don't want this money!"

When the men heard this, they were as if they were granted a general amnesty, and hurriedly said, "No, no, let's go now." As they said that, they turned around and were about to leave.

Just as they were about to leave, Xi Yu took a step forward and reached out to stop them.

Xi Yu's face was cold, and there was a chill in his eyes. He warned loudly: "You can listen to me. If you do evil again in the future, be careful of your head!"

The men were so scared that their faces were pale, nodded repeatedly and then ran away in shame.

After they left, Chen's father looked grateful and quickly stepped forward a few steps, bowed deeply to the Prime Minister, and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for making decisions for the common people!"

Xi Yu quickly reached out and helped Chen's father up and said gently: "Old man, you don't have to be so polite."

However, Chen's father didn't have much relaxed expression on his face, and he was still full of sorrow, not particularly happy.

Tuoba Yu looked at Chen's father's expression and understood it in his heart, so he asked Chen Shou: "I see that you are frowning. Are you worried that those rogues will come to cause trouble after they leave?"

Chen Shou sighed heavily, nodded, his face full of worries: "Oh, I'm worried about this. These scoundrels are used to being arrogant on weekdays. Although they are driven away today, it is hard to guarantee that they will not cause trouble again."

After hearing Chen Shou's words, Chen's father suddenly realized the problem. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, his face full of panic, his hands trembling constantly, and he kept asking: "What should I do? What should I do?"

Tuoba Yu was also panicked, holding Xi Yu's clothes tightly, his eyes full of anxiety and helplessness, and his voice was trembling: "Husband, what should I do next?"

Xi Yu frowned, pondered for a moment, looked at Chen Shou and asked, "Then are you considering moving? Maybe you can avoid these troubles."

Chen Shou shook his head repeatedly, his face full of helplessness and bitterness, and sighed and said, "I have never had this plan. Besides, where can I move?"

At this moment, Tuoba Yu's eyes lit up and he leaned over to Xi Yu and said, "Xi Yu, since Chen Shou is a talent, why not let him go to Youzhou to become an official? Wouldn't this be solved? Take Chen's father away by the way."

Xi Yu was stunned when he heard this, then his eyes shone and he said excitedly: "This is a good idea."

So, Xi Yu looked at Chen Shou and asked expectantly: "Chen Shou, I sincerely ask you if you are willing to work for me? With your talent, you can also do some civil service, or even write books specifically."

When Chen Shou heard this, he was startled, then his face showed an unbelievable expression, then his hands were trembling with excitement, tears flashing in his eyes, and his voice choked: "Sir, I, Chen Shou, can't ask for it, and I am willing to serve you for you!"

Chen's father was also very excited. His hands were trembling, his eyes were filled with tears of joy, and his voice became a little trembling due to excitement. He said, "Sir, my son likes to write books since he was a child, but now his life is in difficult times and he really has no time to do it. Now, Prime Minister, you have provided such a rare opportunity, which is great!"

After saying that, Chen's father bowed deeply to Xi Yu, his face filled with gratitude and gratitude.

Xi Yu smiled and looked at Chen Shou and his son with a gentle look, and said, "Since that's the case, Chen Shou and his son will follow me next. You guys quickly clean up and let's set off as soon as possible."

Chen Shou and Chen's father nodded quickly, and Chen's father was so excited that his voice trembled: "Thank you, Prime Minister, let's go and clean up now."

After saying that, he pulled Chen Shou to the house hurriedly, his face full of longing and expectations for the future life.

Xi Yu's heart was filled with anxious longing for Ouyang Linlin. He looked anxious and paced back and forth, saying, "I can't wait to see Ouyang Linlin. Let's set off now!"

On the other hand, Chen Shou and his son acted quickly and finished it in a short while.

Chen Shou was carrying a simple package and Chen's father was holding an old cloth bag in his hand. The two hurriedly walked to Xi Yu.

Chen Shou said with a firm look on his face, "Sir, we have packed up and we can set off."

Chen's father smiled, his eyes full of expectations for the future, and said, "It is a blessing for us father and son to be able to follow the adults."

Xi Yu nodded and waved his hand: "Okay, let's go!"

On the other side, there was a heavy rainstorm in Fangjun. This is a big deal for the people.

Many people stood in the yard of their homes, with joyful smiles on their faces and dancing.

An old man over fifty years old folded his hands together and looked up at the sky. His voice was trembling with excitement: "Thank God! It's finally raining!" His wrinkled face burst into a bright smile like a child, and tears flashed in his eyes.

A young and strong man next to him also shouted excitedly: "Now, you can get a little wet in the ground!"

However, some people were worried, and a middle-aged farmer frowned and said worriedly: "The time for farming has passed, and the rain has come a little late." But then he sighed comfortably again, "But it is better than not."

Everyone cheered in the rain and sighed that the rain brought them complex emotions, both joy and helplessness.

In the palace, Liu Bei stood in front of the window, looking at the rain outside the window, with a gratifying smile on his face.

He put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, his eyes full of joy and emotion.

"This rain is really time!" Liu Bei said softly, "Although I missed the busy farming season, it can at least relieve the drought."

He turned his head and looked at the counselor beside him with a serious expression: "I just hope that no refugees will appear again, and that the people can live a stable life."

The strategist bowed and said, "The lord is in love with the people, which is really a blessing for all people. I believe this rain can make the people's lives easier."

Liu Bei sighed, his eyes turned to the rain outside the window again, and muttered to himself: "I hope so, I hope so." His eyes were filled with concern for the people and expectations for the future.

At this time, a general hurried over and bowed his fists and said, "Lord, although the rain is good, we must also be careful of floods. We will arrange personnel to strengthen the city defense patrol."

Liu Bei nodded slightly and praised: "Well done well, don't take it lightly because of this rain."

The general took the order to retreat, but Liu Bei was still standing in front of the window, frowned slightly, as if thinking about the subsequent response.

After a moment, he said to himself: "I need to send some people to the countryside to see if the people need assistance."

The strategist beside him quickly responded: "The lord is kind, and the people will be grateful."

Liu Bei turned around slowly and said with a firm expression: "I am the lord of one side, and I should put the people first. If I cannot let them live and work in peace, how can I face the people of the world?"

After saying that, he walked towards the desk with great strides and prepared to issue relevant instructions.

The rain was still falling, and Liu Bei paced back and forth in the study, sometimes stopping and looking out the window, sometimes bowing his head to meditate.

At this time, a minor official came to report: "Lord, I just got the news that several thatched huts in the countryside were washed away by the rain, but fortunately no one was injured or killed."

Liu Bei frowned and said quickly: "Quickly arrange manpower to build temporary residences for the affected people, and send food and clothing."

The minor official took the order and left. Liu Bei said to the adviser worriedly: "I don't know how long it will take to rain. I have to prepare for more disasters in advance."

The strategist nodded and said, "Don't worry, lord, I will call everyone to discuss countermeasures."

Liu Bei sat at the table, picked up his pen and wrote several decrees, his face full of determination: "No matter what, I must ensure that the people have safely survived this disaster."

The rain outside the window was still drizzling, and Liu Bei's heart for the people never stopped for a moment.

Guan Yu and others continued on the road. He rode on the Red Rabbit Horse, frowned, his eyes wide open, and his anger seemed to ignite the surrounding air.

Because of losing the treasure, Guan Yu felt particularly cowardly, and his hand holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword tightly trembled slightly because of his anger.

The soldiers beside them were all silent and didn't even dare to show off their anger.

A young soldier accidentally raised his eyes and glanced at Guan Yu's blushing face. Guan Yu happened to notice it. Guan Yu shouted angrily: "What are you looking at!"

The soldier was so scared that he quickly lowered his head, his legs became weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Another bolder soldier murmured in a low voice: "Governor, this is not a mistake for us."

When Guan Yu heard this, he turned his head and glared at him fiercely, yelling: "Hmph! You dare to argue!"

Everyone was so scared that they didn't dare to say anything anymore. They just huddled their heads silently, for fear of annoying the angry general again.

On that night, Guan Yu and others were about to arrive in Fangjun, but found that it was raining heavily again.

Guan Yu looked at the rainy curtain, gritted his teeth in anger, and cursed God angrily again: "This damn God, it's going to rain at this time, ruining my itinerary!" His maroon face looked even redder because of his anger, like a burning flame.

At this time, a soldier said with courage and cautiously: "Governor, it's a good thing that it rains heavily in Fangjun. Isn't it always very drought here?"

After saying that, the soldier looked at Guan Yu timidly, his eyes full of nervousness.

When Guan Yu heard this, he was stunned at first, then frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he slapped his thighs and said, "Hmph! I was confused for a moment, and it's true."

After saying that, his expression calmed down a little.

They stayed in an inn.

Guan Yu sat at the table with a serious face, gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for this governor!"

Soon, the thing was presented.

Guan Yu frowned and wrote quickly. He stopped thinking and sometimes wrote heavily. His angry expression seemed to be about to cut the paper.

After a while, Guan Yu wrote the letter. He slapped the letter heavily on the table and shouted loudly: "Come here!"

A soldier hurried over and bowed respectfully: "Governor!"

Guan Yu handed the letter to the soldiers and said seriously: "You can ride a horse quickly and send this letter to the palace of Fangjun and hand it over to the eldest brother, no mistakes are allowed!"

The soldier took the letter and responded, "Yes, the governor! I have fulfilled my mission!" After that, he turned around and ran out of the inn, rode his horse and galloped towards the royal palace in Fangjun in the rain.

Liu Bei was discussing government affairs with his advisers in the palace. At this time, a small eunuch hurried over and bowed and said, "Lord, General Guan has sent someone to deliver the letter."

When Liu Bei heard this, his face immediately showed a look of joy, his eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Hurry! Let him in!"

The little eunuch responded and immediately turned around and ran out. Soon after, he led the soldier who was delivering the letter in.

Liu Bei stood up eagerly, walked to the soldiers a few steps, and said, "Come on your letter!"

After a while, when Liu Bei finished reading the letter, his originally expectant face changed drastically.
