The sun is still bright, but it seems that it cannot dispel the haze in the hearts of the two.

Shi Dami looked into the distance and sighed helplessly.

He knew very well that this mission had not been completed successfully and he would probably be insulted by the king after returning, but now that things have come to this point, there is no other way.

He turned over the horse, and the reins shook, and the horse stepped out of its hooves and ran forward.

Along the way, Shi Dami was in a heavy mood, and the reprimand scenes that he might face kept popping up in his mind.

After a while, he passed by an inn.

At this time, he felt a little hungry and exhausted, so he stopped and walked into the inn to ask for food.

Sitting at the table and looking at the food in front of him, Shi Dami sighed again.

The worries in his heart enveloped him like a cloud, making him lose his appetite.

He didn't know what fate would be waiting for him, but now he could only take one step at a time.

In the inn, the business today is indeed not very good, and the guests are sparse.

The waiter was so idle that he saw Shi Dami with a sad face and came over.

"Customer, look at your unhappy look. What happened to you?" the waiter asked curiously.

Shi Dami raised her eyes slightly, looked at the waiter, but did not answer immediately.

He was full of the difficulties he might face after returning to China, so he had no time to chat.

But looking at the waiter's expectant look, he felt that it seemed inappropriate to not respond.

"Oh, it's a long story. I have something important to do, but I haven't done it well. I'm afraid I'll be scolded when I go back." Shi Dami sighed softly, his tone full of helplessness.

The waiter nodded, "This matter is indeed worrying, but the customer should not be too worried, maybe there will be a turning point."

Shi Dami smiled bitterly, thinking that there was no such an easy turning point.

But the waiter's words also made his mood a little relieved.

After a while, Shi Dami was in a state of peace. Before the waiter could ask a question, he said to himself: "I am an envoy from the Kingdom of Anxu. I came here to find the princess. But your prime minister not only did not help, but also asked me to get out."

The more Shi Dami talked, the more angry he became, and his face became more gloomy.

The waiter listened quietly, and he already understood what was going on.

But for some reason, he suddenly laughed.

Shi Dami was already angry, and when she saw the waiter laughing, she became even more angry. "Why are you laughing? Are you laughing at me?" Shi Dami glared and blamed her.

The waiter waved his hand quickly and explained: "Don't be angry, the young man has no intention of ridicule. He just thinks this matter is a bit strange. Why doesn't the prime minister help? Maybe there is any misunderstanding in it."

After hearing what the waiter said, Shi Dami calmed down a little, but the anger in his heart did not completely dissipate. "Misunderstanding? Humph, the soldier's attitude is bad and he doesn't give him a chance at all." Shi Dami said angrily.

The waiter looked at Shi Dami who was still angry and continued calmly: "Customer, don't be angry. Think about it, although Youzhou and several other states have transit systems in the entire Central Plains, most of the Central Plains can still be freely in and out. What does it matter if the Prime Minister doesn't help? You can go looking for a princess in other places, and you may have unexpected gains. If you really can't find it, it's not too late to go back."

Shi Dami's anger gradually calmed down when he listened to the waiter's words.

He thought about the waiter's words carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense.

Yes, if the Prime Minister doesn't help, he can't just give up. There are still many places to look for the princess.

Shi Dami's face relaxed a lot. He looked at the waiter with gratitude in his eyes.

"You are right, thank you for your reminder." Shi Dami thanked sincerely.

Later, Shi Dami decided to write a letter to the king to explain the situation here, and then continued to look for the princess in the Central Plains.

He found paper and pen, sat at the table, and wrote down every word carefully.

In the letter, he reported his experience and plans in detail, hoping that the king could understand and support it.

After writing the letter, Shi Dami carefully put it away and hope rekindled in his heart.

He believed that as long as he did not give up, he would be able to find the princess and fulfill his mission.

The waiter heard Shi Dami's praise and smiled happily on his face.

He was proud of his help to this foreign messenger and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

On the other hand, Xi Yu and Zhuge Liang walked around the moat for a long time, and unknowingly they became hungry.

They looked around and saw an inn not far away, so they went together.

Walking into the inn, it was very lively.

Xi Yu and Zhuge Liang found a quiet corner to sit down and called the waiter to come and order food.

The waiter warmly greeted them and introduced them to the special dishes of the inn.

Xi Yu and Zhuge Liang ordered a few dishes and waited quietly.

At this time, Xi Yu's mood had calmed down a lot.

But Xi Yu's thoughts drifted back to the previous topic.

He suddenly took the initiative to mention Liu Bei and said, "Liu Bei and Guan Yu were punished. Are you feeling particularly uncomfortable?"

Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard this. He was silent for a moment, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

"It's indeed a bit uncomfortable." Zhuge Liang said slowly, with a hint of undetectable melancholy in his voice.

Xi Yu looked at Zhuge Liang's expression and felt a little moved.

"But what the Prime Minister said is right, they did take it upon themselves." Zhuge Liang continued.

Xi Yu looked at Zhuge Liang's answer, and his eyes showed satisfaction.

He smiled slightly, and he felt a little more appreciating Zhuge Liang's rationality and soberness.

At this moment, he didn't want to continue discussing this heavy topic anymore, so he remained silent and quietly waited for the food to serve.

After a while, the shop assistant brought the food up quickly.

The steaming dishes exuded an attractive aroma, instantly breaking the slightly depressing atmosphere.

Xi Yu's attention was attracted by the food and temporarily forgot the topic just now.

He picked up his chopsticks and began to taste these delicious meals.

He told Zhuge Liang not to be polite.
