Chen's father interrupted curiously: "Then are they all as elusive as shadows?"

Xi Yu laughed and said, "It can be said that, so you don't have to be surprised by this."

In the dim room, Sun Haixu and his family were sitting around a shabby wooden table for dinner.

The table was filled with simple and rough food. The family was particularly poor, so the food was naturally not much better.

Princess Anxi looked at the food in front of her and frowned slightly. She was used to eating delicacies on weekdays, and it was really hard to swallow such simple food.

But she still endured the discomfort and tried hard to deliver food to her mouth.

While chewing the food in his mouth, Sun's father looked up at the princess and asked, "Don't you look like a native of the Central Plains?"

The princess nodded slightly, with a hint of sorrow in her eyes.

Father Sun then asked curiously: "Then why did you come here?"

The princess put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, sighed lightly, and said, "It's hard to say anything."

Seeing this, Sun's mother quickly pulled Sun's father's sleeve and said, "Old man, stop asking, the girl must have something to hide." Sun's father realized his abruptness, scratched his head embarrassedly, and buried his head and continued to eat.

After dinner, the princess walked into the room she had arranged for herself with light steps.

She sat by the bed, thought for a while, and called Sun Haixu in.

When Sun Haixu heard the princess' call outside the door, he was overjoyed and wondered if he was willing to accept him.

He hurriedly tidied up his clothes and walked into the room excitedly.

When the princess saw his flattering look, she felt disgusted and her face unconsciously showed a look of disgust. But she still suppressed her disgust and tried her best to keep herself calm. She said lightly: "Sun Haixu, I want to talk to you, tell me about the Central Plains."

Sun Haixu did not notice the princess' disgust at all, and leaned forward with a flattering look on his face and said, "What aspect do you want to hear? I must have said everything, and I will say everything."

The princess nodded slightly and said, "Any news is OK, just say it."

So, Sun Haixu cleared his throat and said with a flash of eyebrows: "Girl, there are many strange stories in the Central Plains. Just say that the Prime Minister Xi Yu, who is admired by everyone, is an amazing person."

Sun Haixu said while complimenting, his expression full of awe and respect.

The princess listened quietly, her eyes widened wider and shined with excitement, and she was secretly happy in her heart: "I really gained!"

After Sun Haixu finished talking endlessly, the princess had already firmed her mind and decided to meet Xi Yu!

The princess also learned that Xi Yu was in Youzhou.

"Sun Haixu, I may accept you in the future, but it is not the time at this time, so don't always mention marriage." The princess's face was a little serious, and her eyes were firm and unquestionable.

When Sun Haixu heard the princess’ words, the expectation on his face instantly turned into loss, but soon he was forced to cheer up again and nodded repeatedly and said, "I listen to the girl, I listen to the girl." His eyes were filled with helplessness and obedience, but there was a hint of reluctance.

The princess turned slightly and said coldly: "You go out."

Sun Haixu looked gloomy and responded in dismay, turning around and leaving slowly.

Sun Haixu immediately came to his parents' room, and Sun's father asked anxiously: "Son, what did that girl say when she asked you to go?"

Sun Haixu told the situation just now.

Sun's mother said happily: "Since that's the case, don't worry, maybe one day the girl will agree." Sun's mother's eyes showed loving and expectation.

Father Sun nodded and echoed: "Yes, son, let's wait patiently."

The princess sat beside the bed, frowned and thought with a sad face: "How can we get out of here?"

Her eyes were occasionally turned to the door, and her heart was filled with anxiety.

Thinking of the shackles that Sun's father set up at the gate in order to prevent himself from running away, as well as the rooms near the gate, and the ferocious dogs, the princess couldn't help but shake her head.

It is impossible to escape like this, you must think of a perfect solution.

She twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands, bit her lower lip with her teeth, and her eyes showed firmness and determination.

On the other side, Zhao Qiang and several others were escorted to Fangjun.

Liu Bei was very happy to learn that the thief who stole the treasure had been arrested, and Guan Yu was also very happy to learn about this.

Liu Bei thought it was the soldiers in the palace who caught these thieves, but Guan Yu also thought so.

Soon, the leading secret guard appeared and told them that it was all the credit of Prime Minister Xi Yu.

Only then did Liu Bei and Guan Yu realize that everything was arranged by Xi Yu.

Liu Bei showed awe and said, "It was the credit of Prime Minister Xi Yu. The Prime Minister is really a talent!"

Guan Yu also looked admirable and said, "The Prime Minister has a high-level strategy, and we can't wait."

The two brothers looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with relief.

Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, if we say this, we don't have to be punished by the Prime Minister anymore."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, and the worries on his face also dissipated a little.

Liu Bei calmed down, looked at the secret guard, and asked in a gentle tone: "Can you tell us the specific story?"

The secret guard bowed his fists and said respectfully about the relevant situation. Then he pushed the thieves forward and said, "These thieves are left to you to deal with."

Liu Bei clasped his fists and said gratefully: "Thank you, hero, thank you for your hard work."

The secret guard saluted again and turned away. Liu Bei looked at the secret guard's departure back, his eyes full of praise.

Guan Yu's face was flushed with anger, his eyes widened, and he said gritting his teeth: "Brother, I'm very angry. I must meet Zhao Qiang and other thieves!"

Liu Bei frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Then let the little eunuch take you there."

The little eunuch responded timidly and took Guan Yu to an empty room.

Zhao Qiang and several others were here. When they saw Guan Yu, they laughed wildly and lost their souls.

Guan Yu was furious and pointed at them and cursed loudly: "You group of ignorant things who have committed such a serious crime, and they dare to be so arrogant!"

Zhao Qiang and others heard Guan Yu's scolding and showed panic on their faces.

Seeing that they stopped laughing, the anger on his face had not dissipated. His eyes were as sharp as a torch, staring at Zhao Qiang and others, and said sternly: "Do you know what crime you have committed? You dare to steal treasures, you are so bold!"

Zhao Qiang and others lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Guan Yu's gaze. One of them said in a trembling voice: "General Guan, we...we are also confused for a moment."

Guan Yu snorted coldly: "For a moment of confusion? Your confused actions almost caused a disaster!"

At this time, another thief raised his head, with a look of begging for mercy in his eyes, and said, "General Guan, please spare us this time."

Guan Yu shouted angrily: "Give you aside? How can you forgive me if you commit such a serious crime?"

After saying that, Guan Yu stood there with his hands on his chest and looked majestic, waiting for Liu Bei's further development.

At this moment, Liu Bei hurried here under the leadership of several small eunuchs.

As soon as Liu Bei entered the door, he stared at Zhao Qiang and others fiercely, and his eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire.

"It is you evil people who have caused many people to wrongly accuse Guan Yu. Your crimes are unforgivable and you must die!" Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said word by word.

When Zhao Qiang and his friends heard this, they were so scared that their faces looked like earth. They all knelt on the ground with a "thump" and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Mr. Liu, please spare me, we will never dare to do it again!" Zhao Qiang shouted in a crying voice.

"Give me your life? How can you forgive me if you have made such a big mistake?" Liu Bei opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly.

At this moment, Guan Yu slapped his forehead suddenly, frowned and asked, "Where did the treasure you stole?"

Zhao Qiang shivered and replied honestly: "General Guan, most of them were spent by us, and a small number of them were handed over to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister also knew about this." After that, he lowered his head and did not dare to raise his eyes.

After hearing this, Liu Bei looked gloomy and pondered for a moment and said, "It's getting late today. I will execute them outside in front of many people tomorrow, and give Guan Yu a clear innocence."

When Zhao Qiang and others heard this, they were so scared that they were limp, and they burst into tears. They kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Lord, please spare your life, please spare your life!"

Liu Bei snorted coldly, unmoved, shook his sleeves and said, "It is useless to beg for mercy at this time. If you have committed such a serious crime, you should have expected that you will end today!"

The next day, the sky in the east had just turned white, and Liu Bei ordered the eunuchs to take Zhao Qiang and several others to the gate of the palace.

And in the early morning, the news had already been released, that was to execute these thieves.

So, before Si, the gate of the palace was filled with many people. They all rushed over to hear the news and wanted to witness this scene with their own eyes.

When he saw Zhao Qiang and others being tied up and pushed to everyone, the crowd immediately felt like they were in a panic, and many people started to whisper and talk.

Liu Bei, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked steadily to the high platform and personally presided over the public trial.

He looked serious and said loudly: "Let these evildoers tell the people what happened!"

Zhao Qiang and others were ashamed at this time, their legs were weak. Under the push of the soldiers, they began to tell the story of the matter tremblingly.

So many people started talking.

"So we really wronged Guan Yu. These thieves are so hateful!" An old man was so angry that he glared at him.

"Yes, we blamed General Guan for his mistake." A young man shook his head regretfully.

Liu Bei stood on the high platform and promised the people: "Everyone, these thieves have indeed stolen treasures and have squandered them. It is not the people I just found to excuse Guan Yu. Moreover, this was captured by the Prime Minister."

At this moment, a burst of cheers broke out in the crowd.

"The Prime Minister is wise!"

"The Prime Minister is really a great hero!"

After hearing so many people praise Xi Yu, Liu Bei's face slightly darkened, he felt a little unhappy, and he gritted his teeth secretly, but he still looked very happy on the surface and said with a smile: "It is a blessing for the country to work hard for us."
