Chapter 591 Wen Liang meets Su Yu
Chapter 591 Wen Liang meets Su Yu
The sun shone on the ancient streets of Youzhou, and Xi Yu walked slowly with Su Yu and Old Man Sun.
Xi Yu looked at Old Man Sun curiously and asked, "I haven't asked Mr. Sun what his name is yet!"
Old Man Sun smiled and replied in a calm voice: "I'm Sun Zhaomeng."
Entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xi Yu came to the study.
With a focused expression, he explained the principles of printing to Sun Zhaomeng and Su Yu.
Sun Zhaomeng listened intently, his hands trembling slightly from time to time, as if he was imagining the magic of printing.
Su Yu stared at Xi Yu intently, nodding from time to time, his eyes revealing his desire for new knowledge.
After Xi Yu finished speaking, he looked at Sun Zhaomeng and Su Yu with a smile and said, "When you master it, we can start running the newspaper."
Sun Zhaomeng stood up excitedly, his voice trembling slightly: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your advice. Su Yu and I will study hard."
Su Yu also nodded firmly, expressing his willingness to go all out.
At the gate of Youzhou City, Wen Liang arrived in a dusty state. He was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.
Wen Liang said anxiously: "Fellow military lords, I have something urgent. There is a patient at home who is in urgent need of treatment by the miracle doctor Song Shuwen. Please let me in."
The soldier replied expressionlessly: "No, there is a transit system here, and no one can come in or out at will. Even if you have patients at home, you can't make an exception."
Wen Liang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He begged, "Please, please be accommodating. My patient is in critical condition."
The soldier shook his head indifferently and said, "Do you think we will let you in casually? If everyone is like you, what's the use of the transit system?"
Wen Liang sighed helplessly and could only turn around and leave. As he walked, he cursed in his mind.
He came to an inn near the border. There were people coming and going in the inn, and it was extremely noisy.
Wen Liang found a corner and sat down, feeling heavy.
Outside the inn, the sun was blazing, the streets were dusty, and it was a lively scene.
But Wenliang's heart was full of anxiety and helplessness.
He sat there, looking out the window silently, thinking about how he could see Song Shuwen.
That day, the sun was shining brightly, and Xiyu strolled to the moat.
The clear river water sparkled in the sun, and the breeze blew gently, blowing his hair.
Xi Yu stood quietly by the river, looking into the distance, looking a little tired.
At this time, Wenxuan came over from not far away.
With an excited look on her face, she walked quickly to Xi Yu and said, "Xi Yu, you are here."
"Yeah, I was in a bad mood, so I came here for a walk."
Of course, Xi Yu was talking about Jia Xu.
"By the way, let me share something with you. I heard that there is a child prodigy in a place called Sijiu City. This child prodigy can also compose poetry, and is recognized by the majority of people!" Wenxuan said.
Xi Yu frowned slightly, showed a disapproving smile, and said lightly: "What's the point? It's probably because people don't understand poetry, so they just think it's a little good."
Wenxuan shook her head anxiously, gestured with her hands, and said, "That's not the case. Many great scholars have special recognition of that child!" Her eyes were full of wonder and curiosity.
There was a trace of surprise on Xi Yu's face, and the original tired expression was gradually replaced by curiosity.
He stared at Wenxuan and asked, "Oh? There is such a powerful child? What is the style of his poems?"
Wenxuan scratched his head, thought for a moment and then said: "I don't know exactly. I just heard that the prodigy's poems are amazing."
The corners of Xi Yu's mouth raised slightly, and a trace of expectation flashed in his eyes.
"It seems like this child prodigy is really interesting."
Xi Yu stared at Wenxuan closely, and then asked: "Do you just want to share this topic?" There was a trace of suspicion in his eyes.
Wenxuan folded his hands on his chest and replied firmly: "No, I hope to see this child with my own eyes."
Xi Yu said lightly: "Then just ask Lu Su for a leave. Why bother telling me?"
Wenxuan grabbed Xi Yu's sleeve and begged, "I hope to go with you."
Xiyu waved his hand impatiently.
"I don't have time. How can a prime minister handle such a trivial matter?"
When Wenxuan saw this, he rolled his eyes at Xiyu and said angrily: "How big your official position is now, and your arrogance has become so big!"
At this time, the sun was still warm, the breeze blew gently, and ripples appeared on the water of the moat.
The willow trees on the shore sway in the wind.
Xi Yu sighed secretly in his heart. He knew Dongfanghong was infatuated with Wenxuan and hoped that Dongfanghong could have a chance to be alone with Wenxuan.
Maybe this would make Dongfanghong happier.
He thought in his heart: "Dongfanghong has always liked Wenxuan silently. If we can create opportunities for them to be alone, maybe there will be a different development."
Xi Yu looked at Wenxuan and said seriously: "I think you can let Dongfang Hong go with you."
Wenxuan was very angry after hearing this.
Her face turned red, her eyes widened, and her voice rose an octave.
"You're just messing around with the rules, it's just nonsense!"
She waved her hands in the air, expressing her displeasure.
Xiyu couldn't help but get angry.
He frowned and said stiffly: "Then you go alone!"
Wenxuan took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
After thinking for a moment, she came up with a compromise plan.
"We can allow Dongfanghong to go, but you must send a general to follow us to protect our safety." Xiyu felt that Wenxuan was making a fuss. How could his general do such a trivial thing casually? He showed helplessness and dissatisfaction on his face. Wenxuan was so angry that he turned around and left when Xiyu refused. Xiyu quickly reached out to hold him and said helplessly: "Okay, I agree with you." Wenxuan finally showed a happy smile on his face. Xiyu was actually full of curiosity. He thought to himself: "How capable is this kid?" So he decided to send Zhao Yun to go with him. Wenxuan returned to the college happily and asked Lu Su for leave. Lu Su knew that Xiyu had agreed, so he naturally didn't say anything more. He smiled and said to Wenxuan: "Since the prime minister has agreed, then you can go. Remember to adjust the course with other teachers." After Wenxuan left Lu Su's office, he suddenly felt a little uneasy. Her steps became a little heavy, as if the ground under her feet suddenly gained weight.
She thought to herself: "I didn't tell Lu Su first, but told Xi Yu directly about this matter. Did I go over the line? Will Lu Su be unhappy about this?" His brows frowned slightly, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
Wenxuan's heart began to be tangled.
She knew Lu Su's status and influence in the college, and she also understood that her behavior might be regarded as disrespectful to Lu Su.
Wenxuan came to the office and saw Dongfanghong, and whispered: "Dongfanghong, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Dongfanghong showed a surprised look in his eyes.
He looked at Wenxuan in confusion, but still followed him out of the office.
They came to the yard, and the sun shone on the ground, reflecting the figures of the two.
Wenxuan took a deep breath and told Dongfanghong about going to Sijiu City to find the child prodigy.
Dongfanghong's face immediately showed excitement after hearing it.
His eyes sparkled, and he said excitedly: "Really? That's great! Can I go with you?"
However, Wenxuan's face became serious.
She looked at Dongfanghong and said seriously: "Don't think too much. Even if I go with you, it doesn't mean that I will like you. Besides, Xiyu will send a general to protect us."
Dongfanghong's smile froze on his face instantly, and a trace of disappointment and regret flashed in his eyes.
But he soon regained his composure and whispered: "Oh, so..."
There was a little helplessness in his voice.
At this time, a breeze blew and blew their hair.
Dongfanghong looked at the light and shadow on the ground silently, with some regrets in his heart.
But he thought about it and thought that this was not bad. At least he could go to Sijiucheng with Wenxuan, and maybe some interesting things would happen on the way.
However, Dongfanghong scratched his head, with a puzzled look on his face, and said: "Wenxuan, I have never heard of the child prodigy. What is going on?"
Wenxuan looked at him and told the relevant things in a calm tone.
Dongfanghong listened to Wenxuan's story attentively, with a curious light in his eyes.
That day, Wenliang came to the border crossing, and he still wanted to enter with a glimmer of hope.
The surroundings of the border crossing seemed a bit solemn. The soldiers stood there straight with serious expressions, like an indestructible fortress.
The soldier said with a serious face: "You must apply for a certificate to enter, and you must have a document from the official place of your ancestral home."
The voice was sonorous and powerful.
Wenliang hurriedly put on a smile and said sincerely that he just wanted to go back to his hometown. It was too troublesome to go through all these procedures.
As he spoke, he cast a pleading look at the soldiers, hoping that they could be flexible.
However, the soldier was very principled. He stood up straight and said righteously: "This is the Prime Minister's rule. We have no say."
Wenliang said that the guests in his house could not wait.
The soldier had a blank expression and said in a stiff tone: "Again, you must have a document from the official place of your ancestral home."
Wenliang frowned, thinking that this system was too rigid. He gritted his teeth and knelt down to the soldier with a plop, his eyes full of pleading.
However, the soldier's expression did not change at all, and he still shook his head indifferently, indicating that he did not agree.
Wen Liang raised his head, with a helpless look on his face.
He said in a trembling voice: "In this case, can you please inform me? I can't go in by myself, but Dr. Song Shuwen can come out, right?"
The soldier's face was full of displeasure, and he said indifferently: "Do we have to obey every request from outsiders? This is impossible."
Just then, a crisp sound of horse hooves came from far away.
I saw a horse galloping over, and the horse's hooves raised a burst of dust.
The man on the horse was Su Yu.
He was wearing a simple black robe and his posture was upright.
Su Yu was going outside to do something. When he saw Wen Liang kneeling on the ground, a trace of surprise and confusion appeared on his face.
He frowned and thought to himself: "Isn't this the drunkard from that day?"
Su Yu pulled the reins, dismounted and asked the soldiers what happened.
The soldiers reported to Su Yu what happened.
Wen Liang looked at Su Yu and felt that he looked familiar. He asked hesitantly: "Have we met before?"
Su Yu sneered and replied: "I have seen him before, but you were drunk that day and insulted the prime minister."
There was a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Wen Liang heard the old man say that he offended someone while drunk, but he didn't expect that the person he offended was the prime minister.
He was suddenly taken aback and told Su Yu in panic.
"I made a drunken gaffe, I really didn't mean it!"
Su Yu said calmly: "The Prime Minister is being merciful, otherwise I would have killed you long ago."
Wen Liang looked at Su Yu expectantly and asked cautiously: "It turns out that you are someone close to the Prime Minister, so can you inform me?"
Su Yu frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, nodded.
He knew very well that human life was at stake, and looking at Wen Liang's anxious expression, he finally agreed.
When I learned that Wen Liang was living in an inn.
Su Yu waved his hand and said calmly: "Just wait at the inn. I will go to the inn to find you after I finish my work."
After hearing this, Wen Liang's face suddenly showed a look of joy, and his eyes shone with excitement.
On this day, Xi Yu found Zhao Yun and said softly: "Zhao Yun, I hope you can accompany Wenxuan and Dongfang Hong to find the prodigy."
Zhao Yun asked with a trace of doubt on his face.
"Prime Minister, why is this? I don't quite understand."
Xi Yu took a deep breath and slowly explained: "This trip is quite difficult and dangerous, and someone needs to protect their safety. I can rest assured of your skill and courage."
And told him about the prodigy.
Xi Yu said softly: "You can go directly to the academy and ask them. When they leave, you can accompany them."
Zhao Yun came to the academy and saw Wenxuan's figure from a distance.
When Wenxuan saw Zhao Yun, he smiled and said hello: "General Zhao, the Prime Minister asked you to come, right?"
"Yes, the Prime Minister has already told you what happened. I just wanted to ask you, when will we set off?"
"Let's leave tomorrow."
Early the next morning, the sun penetrated the thin clouds and fell on the bluestone path of the college.
Zhao Yun was dressed in white and stood tall and straight at the entrance of the college. Beside him were two horses led by two soldiers.
Wenxuan looked at the tall and mighty horses in front of him with a confused look on his face: "I don't know how to ride a horse."
Dongfang Hong on the side was very excited and said loudly: "Then two of us ride a horse!"
Wenxuan was immediately very angry, but he also thought that he really couldn't ride a horse, so he had no choice but to agree.
He muttered to himself: "It's impossible to ride the same horse with Zhao Yun."
Originally, Xiaocui wanted to go with him, but Wenxuan, considering the long journey and worried that Xiaocui would be affected, comforted her not to follow.
Just like that, the three of them set off.
In the inn, Wen Liang paced the room anxiously, looking at the door from time to time, looking forward to Su Yu's arrival.
One day passed, and Su Yu still didn't show up.
Wen Liang thought to himself: "It costs a lot to stay in the inn all the time, and I'm afraid my wife will be anxious waiting at home."
At Fang's house, she was also restless.
Jia Xu now has lost his memory and is like a fool. However, in order to avoid suspicion, Fang had no choice but to invite his neighbor's sister-in-law to live with him.
On this day, Mrs. Fang couldn't help complaining to her neighbor's sister-in-law: "My husband is so nosy!"
The neighbor's sister-in-law comforted her and said, "You don't have to complain. This shows that Wen Liang is a very kind-hearted person."
But Fang thought to herself, what's the use of being nice? In the end, it's herself who suffers.
The sun shines through the thin clouds and onto the stone road outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhao Yun and other three figures arrived.
The door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was open, and the guard at the door stood upright.
Zhao Yun looked up at the door of the mansion and said softly to the two people: "Let's go in. We should say hello to the Prime Minister about this matter."
The three of them entered the house.
Xi Yu was wearing a blue robe and sitting on a chair.
Zhao Yun saluted Xi Yu.
"Prime Minister, we are ready, including dry food and money."
"Very good, then you should be more careful along the way."
Zhao Yun bowed his hands and saluted.
"Thank you, Prime Minister. We will act with caution."
Xi Yu glanced at the three of them, with a look of concern on his face.
"If you encounter difficulties on the way, don't be brave and send the message back in time."
Zhao Yun and others nodded in agreement, then chatted with Xi Yu for a while, then turned and left.
Their figures gradually disappeared at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, blending into the bustling crowd outside.
On the other side, Lei Tiangui lay quietly in the cave, feeling the subtle changes in the wound's gradual healing.
He silently calculated in his mind that in two or three days, he might be able to go outside for activities.
His thoughts drifted involuntarily to his enemy. He gritted his teeth, feeling an uncontrollable hatred welling up in his heart.
"Damn it!" He cursed secretly in his mind.
On this day, the child prodigy came to the entrance of the village wearing simple clothes and walking briskly.
At this time, a member of the staff who was gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary bearing slowly walked over.
He looked at the child prodigy eagerly and said, "I heard that you, a child prodigy, are talented and your poetry is even more outstanding. I came here today because I hope you can become my son's teacher. What do you think?"
The child prodigy smiled slightly, with a certain calmness on his young face, and replied softly: "I have no say in this matter. I still need to ask my grandfather."
A trace of expectation flashed in the officer's eyes, and he quickly said: "Then can you let me meet your grandpa?"
The child prodigy looked at the member with a smile, and his childish voice came clearly.
"Master Yuanwai, what a coincidence. Grandpa has not been at home these two days. Please come back in a few days."
The member of staff frowned and looked the prodigy up and down, as if trying to determine whether he was lying. The child prodigy's eyes were as clear as water, and his face was sincere.
"Forget it, I'll come back in a few days." The clerk waved helplessly and left with his servants.
The child prodigy smiled and bowed to everyone, and then began to compose poems and perform. (End of chapter)
