Yuan Xi glanced at Lu Lingqi behind him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let's go in together."
The two followed Mi Zhen into the house and saw Liu Bei's wife and daughter Liu, fully dressed, waiting inside.
When Mrs. Liu Bei saw everyone coming in, she took her daughter and knelt down to Yuan Xi and said, "Thank you so much for saving me several times."
Yuan Xi saw that Mrs. Liu Bei's complexion was ashen, and there was a large abnormal red glow on her dark face, which looked extremely strange in comparison. She felt a little thump in her heart at that moment, she was afraid that her life would be over soon.
Mrs. Liu Bei gasped a few times, sat up straight with difficulty, and said to Yuan Xi, "Is there no news about my husband yet?"
Yuan Xi comforted him and said, "Liu Yuzhou is a lucky person and will be fine. The two generals Guan and Zhang have already gone to look for him."
"If everything goes well, there will be news within a few days."
Mrs. Liu Bei was silent for a while, and seemed to have made up her mind, "My next request may be a bit excessive. I have the audacity to ask for it because I have no other choice."
"But please do me a favor for the sake of my husband's past and the fact that I am going to marry our adopted daughter."
When Yuan Xi saw Mrs. Liu Bei bringing out Liu Bei and Mi Zhen to ask for help, she also solemnly said: "I have a deep relationship with Liu Yuzhou. If my wife is in trouble, I will help you. Please don't see me outside."
Mrs. Liu Bei sighed, "A friend in need is a friend indeed, so I will ignore the past grudges. I am really ashamed of my previous rude behavior."
"I came from a humble background and spoke vulgarly. I lived with my husband for many years. I saw too much about the affairs of the noble family, so I was very wary of the young master at first."
"But I later found out that the young master is an alien. I was really mistaken."
She paused and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to die soon."
Everyone had already seen it, and their faces were heavy after hearing this, and their daughter Liu beside her also started sobbing softly.
Mrs. Liu Bei shouted: "Why are you crying!" She was already very weak at this time. The first word she shouted was quite loud, but the last two words were hoarse.
Madam Liu trembled with fright and quickly stopped crying.
Mrs. Liu Bei gasped a few times and said: "My husband's whereabouts are unknown now, and it is difficult to predict whether he will be good or bad. I would like to ask the young master to find a place for my daughter."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi said: "Madam, please rest assured, Liu Yuzhou has a strong military force and self-protection will not be a problem."
"Please Madam and the girl rest here during this period. As soon as I know the whereabouts of Liu Yuzhou, I will send someone to take the Madam and the girl back."
Mrs. Liu Bei shook her head and said, "That's not what I meant."
"No matter whether your husband is still alive or not, he does things without caring about his family."
"In other words, to my husband, we, mother and daughter, are a burden."
"We have been homeless several times, which is embarrassing for my husband. In this case, I don't want my daughter to go back."
"What's more, if something happens to my husband and I die, she will have nothing to rely on."
"She has reached the age of marriage. Please find an honest family to marry her to."
Ms. Liu on the side listened and her eyes became red.
Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, why are you so anxious?"
Mrs. Liu Bei shook her head and said, "I know what I am doing."
"I don't have high requirements. I don't want a high-ranking scholar or a powerful person. I just want a few acres of farmland at home and I can treat her well."
Yuan Xi glanced at Mrs. Liu and saw that her limbs were slender and slender, perhaps because of her running around. She did not have the sickly feeling of ordinary noble women, but instead exuded a healthy vitality.
Moreover, his facial features are well-proportioned, much better than those of his parents, and he still has a faint sense of heroism. Although he is not as good as the outstanding-looking women around Yuan Xi, he still has his own charm.
When Mrs. Liu Bei saw Yuan Xi sizing up Mrs. Liu, she quickly added, "She is careless and big-footed. She is too high to be the master's concubine. Please forgive me."
Lu Lingqi and Mi Zhen, who were behind Yuan Xi, couldn't help but look at each other with strange expressions. It was originally a very sad thing, but seeing Mrs. Liu Bei still being so wary of Yuan Xi at this time made the two women feel quite funny.
The rumors about Yuan Xi's lust are probably already famous all over the world.
Yuan Xi touched the sweat on his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely find a good family for the girl."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu Bei felt relieved and said to Mrs. Liu, "Thank you, envoy."
When she saw Mrs. Liu bowing down and Yuan Xi returning the favor, she felt relieved knowing that Yuan Xi never broke his promise.
At this time, her wish was fulfilled, and she was immediately relieved. She felt that her whole body had lost strength, and she fell to the side.
Everyone was shocked and quickly called the doctors to come in for treatment, but Mrs. Liu Bei was so exhausted that she could hardly speak.
Seeing his appearance, everyone knew that they might not be able to survive for a few days. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu Bei tightly grabbed Yuan Xi's sleeves and squeezed out a faint voice, "Your Majesty, if I die, she will keep her filial piety." Three years, I’m afraid it’s a delay, who knows what will happen in a few years?”
"In that case, while I'm still alive, please find someone to marry me to."
Mrs. Liu said sadly: "Mom."
Mrs. Liu Bei glared, "Tell me what to say, kneel down and thank the envoy!" After saying this, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and cold sweat continued to ooze from her head.
When Yuan Xi saw Mr. Liu kneeling down to him, he smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll go back and look for him now. Once I have a candidate, I'll discuss it with my wife right away."
He and Lu Lingqi went out and began to have troubles. In a hurry, where could they find a suitable person?
Mrs. Liu Bei said she was looking for an ordinary family, but Yuan Xi couldn't take it seriously. Mrs. Liu said she was Liu Bei's daughter and the daughter of a state shepherd, so she couldn't really find a farmer for her, right?
Mrs. Liu Bei was afraid that she wouldn't last two days, so she had to look for her in Haixi City. However, most of the people in the city were merchants and there were not many scholars. If Liu Bei matched Liu Bei's daughter with an ordinary person, he was afraid that he would also be criticized by the world.
He felt a huge headache and unconsciously looked at Lu Lingqi. Seeing this, Lu Lingqi said, "I'm not good at this kind of thing."
"I've been really exhausted these past two days, so I'm going to go back to bed first."
After saying that, Lu Lingqi ran away quickly.
Yuan Xi shook his head. He thought about the people around him, but could not think of a suitable candidate. Sun Li's age was suitable, but he was already married, and the Zhen family had some children, but they were all businessmen, which was not appropriate.
He couldn't think of a clue, and thought that the city was in chaos right now, and the generals were preparing their troops. Why not ask the counselor?
Yuan Xi thought that Jushu was in the house, so he went all the way to Jushu's house, and saw that he and Lu Xun were pointing in front of the map, reviewing the previous battle.
Lu Xun nodded from time to time, and then asked a few questions. Jushou patiently explained. Some of them Lu Xun believed deeply, but some of them had different opinions from Jushou, and the two started arguing.
Yuan Xi saw the two people talking fiercely, so he didn't go in and listened outside the window. Originally he was afraid of disturbing the two people talking about military matters, but as he listened, he found that he also benefited a lot from it.
Jushou and Lu Xun argued for a full quarter of an hour. Jushou accidentally looked up and found that Yuan Xi was also outside, and quickly asked Yuan Xi to come in.
Yuan Xi said: "Sir, what do you think of Boyan?"
Ju Shou stroked his beard, feeling quite pleased with himself, "What I am most proud of in the past few years is that I snatched this disciple from Fengxiao."
Yuan Xi thought to himself, no, Guo Jia complained to himself every time he got drunk.
Seeing that Yuan Xi had a troubled expression, Jushou asked curiously, "What happened to your Majesty?"
Yuan Xi told the story about Liu Bei's wife and said: "I am so anxious that I am afraid where can I find a suitable husband for my girl?"
"This stumps me."
"I came here to ask for advice from sir. Is there a suitable candidate?"
When Jushou heard this, his face looked strange, "Far away in the sky, close in front of you, is it dark under the lamp?"
Seeing Jushu pointing at Lu Xun, Yuan Xi was stunned: "How, how is this allowed?"
Jushou asked strangely: "Why not?"
"Bo Yan also comes from a noble family and is of the right age. He is also the adopted brother of Shijun. Now in Haixi City, who else can be more suitable than him?"
Not to mention Lu Xun's confused face, Yuan Xi couldn't wrap his head around it for a while. He found that Lu Xun was indeed the most suitable!
But I had ignored it intentionally or unintentionally. Is this because of my own psychology?
Yuan Xi suddenly realized that he was using Lu Xun as a weapon against Liu Bei in the future!
Regardless of whether there is a Battle of Yiling in this world, if Lu Xun can master it, he will definitely be his own general in the future, and his status and role will be extremely important.
In Yuan Xi's subconscious mind, Liu Bei might become his enemy in the future, so Yuan Xi subconsciously ignored Lu Xun, because if Lu Xun married Liu Bei's daughter, wouldn't he try his best to beat his father-in-law in the future?
Thinking of this, he said to Lu Xun in a hesitant voice, "What do Boyan have in mind?"
However, Lu Xun looked indifferent and said: "What Xun cares about now is studying the art of war. He doesn't care about these things. In order to repay the kindness of the envoy for knowing the situation, I will respond to the matter according to the envoy's arrangement."
Yuan Xi shook his head, "Okay, let me think about it first and see when I can come back to you."
Lu Xun watched Yuan Xi leave, wondering why he felt that Zhijun was not reluctant?
He said to Jushou: "You must have a better candidate in mind, right?"
Jushou smiled and said: "How is it possible, unless you want to take it yourself?"
Lu Xun was shocked, "Then I can't agree!"
Jushou waved his hand and said: "I said casually that it is unlikely that you have this intention. He is now the Mu of Xuzhou and no longer needs to marry Liu Yuzhou to strengthen himself, let alone accept Liu Yuzhou's adopted daughter, how can he possibly accept it?" Daughter?"
"But this is a huge benefit to you."
"Your current identity is independent of the Lu family. If there is a conflict with Jiangdong in the future, what will you do?"
"But if you marry Liu Yuzhou's daughter, you can build a relationship with Liu Yuzhou's family. Although his whereabouts are unknown now, his life or death will be beneficial to you."
"If he is alive, he is not an idle person. He will definitely make a comeback in the future and become an important ally of the envoy. He will naturally be helpful to you."
"If he dies, his generals and officials will definitely come to surrender to you. With the relationship of his girl, these people will support you in the future."
After hearing this, Lu Xun hesitated and said, "What if Liu Yuzhou and the envoy become enemies in the future?"
Jushou thought for a while and said: "If you have already become a big player at that time, of course you have to draw a clear line between them."
"A woman is valued by her husband. If she becomes a burden to her husband, then reconciliation and divorce are the only way to protect each other."
Lu Xun smiled bitterly after hearing this, thinking that was indeed the case.
Yuan Xi was having a hard time deciding, so he entered Lu Lingqi's room unknowingly, and saw that she was still facing the board wall, sleeping with her head covered. She thought that Lu Lingqi had exhausted a lot of energy from the battle the day before, and he had not recovered either.
While he was thinking, he lifted the quilt and lay down next to Lu Lingqi.
