Chapter 680 The Secret Guard Reports(1/2)
Liu Bei hurriedly wiped away Guan Yu's tears and comforted him: "Don't cry, brothers don't have trouble. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to get through this."
Guan Yu held back his tears and looked at Liu Bei with a firm look: "Brother, don't worry, I, Guan Yu, will be more careful in the future and will not let such things happen again."
Liu Bei nodded slightly, his eyes full of trust: "I believe in Yun Chang, our brothers work together to cut off gold."
At this time, the atmosphere in the room was solemn and warm, and the hearts of the two brothers were closely connected, facing the upcoming challenges together.
Liu Bei frowned, with a firm look on his face, and said, "Yunchang, why not take it by Brother Wei. Then tell Xi Yu that the treasure has arrived and was lost in the palace. Brother Wei can even find a few scapegoats."
Guan Yu widened his eyes, his face flushed, and he shouted excitedly: "No, brother! I caused the matter. Guan Yu must take the responsibility myself. How can I let my brother take the blame for me?"
Liu Bei's eyes were soft but unquestionably determined, and he said slowly: "Chang Yun, we are in a relationship with each other, don't say these extravagant words again. How can you watch you suffer if you brother?"
Guan Yu held his fists with his hands and knelt on one knee, with a resolute tone: "Brother, you remember your friendship in your heart, but Guan must not retreat. If you let your brother suffer for me, what face does Guan still have to stand between heaven and earth!"
Liu Bei quickly helped Guan Yu up and stroked his shoulders, his eyes full of pain: "Chang Yun, please get up quickly, why are you doing this?"
Guan Yu stood up straight, raised his head and chest, and his eyes were bright: "Brother, Guan Yu is willing to be fooled by you in this life. I will bear the fault this time alone!"
As Liu Bei spoke, tears rustled down, his voice trembling: "The clouds are long, I really don't want to see you suffer. If you really have a few things, I, Liu Bei, would never live alone!"
He wiped the tears from his face with his sleeves, and his shoulders kept shaking.
Seeing this, Guan Yu was very moved, his eyes turned red again, and he hurriedly said, "Brother, don't say such despicable words. What kind of virtue is Guan Yu? What can you do to make your brother so worried. The eldest brother is responsible for restoring the Han Dynasty. You must not have such a thought of suicide because of Guan Yu."
Liu Bei grabbed Guan Yu's arm with a sad expression: "Yunchang, you and I have the same brothers as brothers. If you lose you, what is the meaning of this world to me?"
Guan Yu gritted his teeth and tried hard to suppress his emotions.
Liu Bei shook his head, tears still flowing: "The clouds are long, I just hope you are safe and nothing else matters."
Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei, his eyes full of firmness and comfort. He put his hands on Liu Bei's shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Brother, don't be sad. We will still go to the city tomorrow. Then I will explain the situation to the people."
Guan Yu's brows frowned slightly, and a sense of determination appeared on his face.
Liu Bei sighed, his eyes full of helplessness and worry, and he slowly said, "That's all."
He looked up at the sky, and then continued, "Fortunately, the rain has started, and the suffering of the people can be less." As he said that, the sadness on his face eased a little.
Guan Yu raised his head slightly, letting the rain fall on his face, and sighed: "I just hope that this rain can relieve the people's sorrows." His eyes looked into the distance, thinking.
Liu Bei gently patted Guan Yu's arm, his voice a little tired: "The clouds are long, so I will have to rest early. Tomorrow's affairs need to be discussed for a long time."
Guan Yu nodded and replied, "Don't worry, brother, I know what's going on."
Xi Yu and the other two began to rush toward the rising sun. Xi Yu rode on the tall horse and carried Tuoba Yu carefully.
Tuoba Yu gently wrapped his hands around Xi Yu's waist, and a peaceful smile appeared on his face.
Chen Shou rode another horse, carrying his father behind him. Although his father was weak, he was in good spirits.
"Haha, the road is lively." Chen Shou smiled heartily, and the laughter echoed on the empty road.
Tuoba Yu also said, "Yes, this journey is full of novelty."
Xi Yu looked back and smiled and said, "We have to hurry up and strive to reach our destination as soon as possible."
"That's natural, but the scenery along the way is also good, so there's no rush for a while." Chen Shou responded.
The four of them were talking and laughing, and the sound of horse hooves and laughter were intertwined, as if they had diluted the fatigue of the journey a lot.
The sun shines on them, bringing out long shadows, like a picture full of vitality.
Suddenly, the road ahead became rugged, and Xi Yu held the reins tightly and tried to control the horses to prevent Tuoba Yu from being bumped.
"Everyone be careful!" Xi Yu reminded loudly.
Chen Shou also slowed down and carefully protected his father behind him.
"This road is really hard to walk." Tuoba Yu frowned and said.
"Don't be afraid, it will pass soon." Xi Yu comforted her.
After finally walking through that difficult road, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Shou smiled and said, "This small twists and turns will not affect our good mood."
The father also said, "Yes, young people should be so optimistic."
Everyone continued to move forward with laughter and laughter, talking about the possibilities in the future, and looking forward to life after arriving at their destination.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sun gradually sets westward and a gorgeous sunset appears in the sky.
"Look at the sunset, how beautiful!" Tuoba Yu pointed to the horizon excitedly.
"It's like our journey, full of colors." Xi Yu sighed.
As night fell, they found a sheltered place to camp. They sat around the bonfire, sharing dry food, and laughter echoed in the quiet night sky.
Just as everyone was sitting around the bonfire and the atmosphere was warm, a rapid sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the night.
After a while, a group of vicious people appeared in front of them and blocked their way.
"I opened this road, and I planted this tree. If you want to pass by now, you can stay and buy wealth!" A big man with a fleshy face shook the sword in his hand and shouted viciously.
Xi Yu and others quickly stood up with a vigilant look.
Tuoba Yu snorted coldly, took a step forward, and shouted: "You dare to do this robbery in broad daylight. You are so brave!"
The robber leader laughed unceremoniously: "Little girl, don't be ungrateful, hand over the money, and you will be spared!"
Tuoba Yu's eyes sterned and his figure flashed out like a ghost.
She was so fierce that she had her fists and feet like the wind. After a few rounds, she beat several robbers to the point of being ruthless.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the robbers wanted to escape, but Tuoba Yu refused to let go, flew over to block their way, took action again, completely subdued the robbers.
"Get out quickly! Don't let me meet you again next time!" Tuoba Yu shouted angrily.
The robbers rolled and crawled away.
Everyone sat down again, the bonfire swayed in the night wind. After experiencing this small storm, their relationship seemed to be closer.
As night fell, they entered an inn.
It was late at night, and Xi Yu got up and went to the toilet in the yard. Just after walking out of the door, he noticed someone shaking in the yard.
He tightened his heart, stopped, and unconsciously pressed his hand on the sword around his waist.
"Who?" Xi Yu shouted in a low voice.
"Lord, it's me." A black shadow walked out of the corner and knelt on one knee. With the faint moonlight, Xi Yu saw the face of the visitor clearly. It turned out that it was the secret guard who sent to Fangjun.
Xi Yu frowned, looked solemn, and asked in a low voice: "How is it?"
The secret guard did not dare to look up and replied respectfully: "Lord, Guan Yu lost his treasure."
Xi Yu's face suddenly became gloomy, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes: "This Guan Yu is so ineffective! Then what plot does he have with Liu Bei?"
The secret guard shook his head: "They have not found any conspiracy yet, but Guan Yu insisted on taking responsibility himself."
Xi Yu snorted coldly: "Hmph, Liu Bei doesn't know what to do. Keep staring at me, report to me immediately if there is any movement!"
"Yes, lord!" the secret guard responded, then his figure flashed and disappeared into the night.
Xi Yu took a deep breath, calmed down, and turned around and walked towards the toilet.
Xi Yu returned to the room and closed the door heavily, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.
He paced back and forth by the bed, and his anger grew stronger and stronger."
Guan Yu, Guan Yu, you are simply useless! Such an important treasure can be lost by you!" He cursed fiercely in his heart.
Thinking of his high hopes for Guan Yu, but now he ends up in such a situation, Xi Yu feels his chest is blocked.
"I thought I was sending him to the wrong place, but I didn't expect something went wrong. What should I do?" He grabbed his hair irritably and frowned.
Tuoba Yu was awakened by his movements and asked in a daze: "What's wrong?"
Xi Yu stopped, took a deep breath, tried to calm down his emotions, and said, "It's nothing, you go to bed."
In this way, Xi Yu tossed and turned, his mind was full of Guan Yu's lost treasure, and he couldn't close his eyes all night.
The sky gradually became brighter, and Xi Yu had not been asleep all night, his eyes were covered with bloodshot.
He looked at the gradually brighter sky outside the window, and his annoyance in his heart did not diminish at all.
Tuoba Yu woke up and saw Xi Yu's haggard appearance and said with pain: "What happened that made you so upset?"
Xi Yu sighed and said, "How can Guan Yu lose his treasure, so how can he not worry me?"
Tuoba Yu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "It's time to come, and it's useless to be angry. I'd better think about how to remedy it."
Xi Yu gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "I must make Guan Yu pay the price for this!"
After washing up, Xi Yu took Tuoba Yu downstairs for meals. But he sat at the table and faced the table full of food, but had no appetite.
After a while, Chen Shou and his son also came to the lobby to prepare for food.
As soon as Chen Shou entered the door, he saw Xi Yu sitting there with a gloomy face, looking worried.
Chen Shou hurriedly pulled his father to Xi Yu's table and asked with concern: "Prime Minister, what's going on with your face?"
Xi Yu raised his head slightly, forced a smile out, and said, "It's nothing big, I just encountered a little bit of trouble."
