The two of them felt nervous and they immediately knelt down and saluted.

Liu Bei lowered his head, looked nervous, and felt uneasy.

Guan Yu also pursed his lips tightly, revealing a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Xi Yu looked at them coldly and did not let them get up.

After a moment of silence, he spoke, "You should thank Your Majesty! According to my wishes, you should continue to suffer. But Your Majesty is kind and after discussing with me, he decided to let you go to the people to live in their own lives."

When Liu Bei heard this, a complicated feeling surged in his heart.

He raised his head slightly, looked at Xi Yu, and said, "Prime Minister, my brothers are grateful to Your Majesty for your kindness. If you have the chance, you will definitely repay Your Majesty and the Prime Minister's great kindness."

A hint of unwillingness flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, but he also understood that it was not appropriate to say too much at this time, just kneeling silently.

Xi Yu snorted and said, "Hmph, I hope you will do it yourself and don't cause any trouble again. Otherwise, you won't be so lucky next time."

After saying that, he waved his hand and signaled them to retreat.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu were ashamed of pardon, and slowly stood up and left the room.

In their hearts are both confused about the future, grateful for His Majesty's kindness, and fear of Xi Yu's moodyness.

They don’t know what will be waiting for them among the people, but at this moment, they can only obey the arrangements of fate.

After coming out of Xi Yu's room, Liu Bei's face was full of solemnity.

He whispered while walking: "Second brother, I can go and sell straw sandals for you. Tell me, what are you going to do next?"

There was a hint of worry in Liu Bei's eyes.

Guan Yu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, let's discuss this matter again. What will happen next? Let's see the situation."

Guan Yu's tone was calm, and his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Just then, Xi Yu's voice came: "You can get up and leave quickly."

Liu Bei and Guan Yu quickly turned around, knelt down again, and said in unison: "Thank you, Prime Minister."

Their voices were filled with gratitude.

Then, the two stood up and left slowly.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu slowly walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as they stepped into the street, they noticed countless gazes around them projecting towards them like thorns on their backs.

People pointed at them, and whispered endlessly.

A look of embarrassment and shame suddenly surged on Liu Bei and Guan Yu's faces. They subconsciously lowered their heads, as if they wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

The two of them were in a hurry and just wanted to escape from this embarrassing scene as soon as possible.

After a while, they came to a secret corner.

Guan Yu frowned and asked with a serious expression: "Brother, are we going to give up our great cause now? Or are we waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback?"

Guan Yu's eyes were flashing with reluctance and confusion. He clenched his fists, waiting for Liu Bei's answer.

Liu Bei sighed, his face full of helplessness and fatigue. He shook his head slightly and said, "Second brother, it is a blessing to be able to save his life now. What else can I talk about?"

Liu Bei's voice was filled with deep depression. He looked into the distance with his eyes empty, as if he had lost all hope.

Guan Yu felt sad after hearing Liu Bei's words.

He was silent, just standing there quietly, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

Their former ambitions and pride now seem to have been emptied.

But Guan Yu still felt a little unwilling to accept it. He secretly vowed that as long as he had the chance, he would rise up again with Liu Bei and realize their great cause.

Liu Bei's eyes gradually focused from the confusion. He looked at Guan Yu and said in a heavy tone: "Second brother, let's talk about the most realistic first. How should we live next? Or you can follow me."

Liu Bei had hope on his face. He longed to have brothers to face the unknown life together in this difficult time.

Guan Yu shook his head slightly, his eyes firm and decisive.

He stroked his long beard and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I just need to know where you are. There is no need to follow me. I will find a place to stay. If I need it, I will go through fire and water."

After hearing Guan Yu's words, Liu Bei felt a complex feeling in his heart that was indescribable.

He sighed, nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay, second brother, since you have made such a decision, I won't force it. It's just that you must take care of yourself."

The two looked at each other without saying anything, and their feelings were clear.

They turned around, continued to take steps, and slowly left.

Xi Yu sat in the study, playing with a brush in his hand, frowned, and repeatedly pondered the matter of letting Liu Bei and Guan Yu go.

He thought to himself: "If you let Liu Bei and Guan Yu go, you may be raising a tiger. These two people are by no means ordinary people, and they will probably cause many tricks in the future."

Thinking of this, a trace of worry flashed in Xi Yu's eyes.

However, after a moment, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and showed a confident smile.

"But so what? How could I, Xi Yu, be afraid of them? Let's see how big the waves they can make." Xi Yu put down his brush, stood up, and walked to the window.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, I had already made a decision in my heart.

He believed that with his wisdom and power, even if Liu Bei and Guan Yu were capable, they would not be able to shake his position.

At this time, Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who were far away, did not know what Xi Yu was thinking.

They are planning for their future lives, and they have no idea what kind of fate and challenges they will await.

In the palace, Liu Xie sat alone in his seat, his face gloomy and his heart was filled with sorrow.

He heard that Liu Bei and Guan Yu had left, and he couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, although Liu Xie was in a high position, he was like a puppet, and there was nowhere to tell the depression in his heart.

Occasionally, I travel with the little eunuch is just to temporarily forget my worries.

But now, when he learned that Liu Bei and the other two had left, his hope seemed to be a little dimmed again.

Liu Xie looked at the empty palace with deep helplessness in his eyes.

He shook his head slightly and said to himself: "Liu Bei, Guan Yu, I don't know when you will see you again when you go."

He no longer had the mood to call the little eunuch to come and play, but just sat there quietly and immersed in his thoughts.

The lonely figure seemed particularly lonely in this magnificent palace.

Xi Yu sat at the table, his eyes were empty, and he was stunned, his thoughts were still immersed in the entanglement of letting Liu Bei and Guan Yu go.

His brows frowned slightly, a hint of worry appeared on his face, and he thought in his heart about the possible consequences of this decision.

At this moment, a sound of light footsteps came, and Xi Shi walked in gracefully.

She was holding a plate of fresh fruit in her hand, which was bright in color and exuded an attractive fragrance.

Xi Shi had a gentle smile on her face, like a flower blooming in spring.

"Husband, eat some fruit." Xi Shi said softly, his voice as pleasant as a silver bell.

Xi Yu then woke up from his thoughts. He looked at Xi Shi, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a gentle smile appeared.

Xi Shi put the fruit on the table, looked at Xi Yu, and asked curiously: "Husband, why are you in a daze?"

Xi Yu sighed slightly and said, "I was thinking about Liu Bei just now. I don't know if it's right or wrong. I always worry that I will raise a tiger in the future."
