The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

The soldier was choked up and clenched his fists. He was about to clash with Wang Hu again. The other soldiers hurriedly stopped him and persuaded him, "Let's do business first and stop entangled with him."

This managed to suppress the disturbance temporarily, but the atmosphere in the yard became increasingly tense and depressing.

The soldier gave Wang Hu a fierce look, suppressed his anger, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "We all serve under the Prime Minister, and we usually work at the border crossing of Youzhou."

The middle-aged man frowned even more when he heard this. His face was filled with confusion. He asked hurriedly, "I am just an ordinary citizen. I have nothing to do with the Prime Minister. What is the meaning of you coming to my door with such fanfare? I really don't understand."

After saying that, he rubbed his hands nervously, looking back and forth at several soldiers. He felt vaguely that this matter might not be simple, and worry became more and more obvious on his face.

The soldier ignored the question in the man's words and continued to ask, "What's your name, and how many people live in your family?"

The man couldn't help but glance at Wang Hu, thinking to himself, didn't Wang Hu tell them about this?

But seeing the serious looks of these soldiers, he did not dare to ask any more questions and could only answer honestly: "My name is Wang Haipeng. There are only me and my wife at home. My wife has gone back to her parents' home, so I am home alone now. What is the matter with you? Don't beat around the bush and just tell me directly. I am still very nervous."

As he spoke, he looked around anxiously again, his heart filled with uneasiness, wondering why these people from the Prime Minister's Mansion were looking for him.

The soldier smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone: "My name is Liu Xiaoyu. Don't be too nervous. We are here to understand some situations. As long as you answer truthfully, we won't embarrass you."

As he spoke, he waved at Wang Haipeng, trying to make him relax, but Wang Haipeng couldn't help wondering in his heart what these people wanted to know. Although he forced a smile on his face in response, the nervous look was still difficult to completely dissipate. There was still a hint of vigilance in his eyes. He stood there quietly waiting for what was to come.

Then, Wang Haipeng tried hard to force a smile and said quickly: "No matter what, you are guests. Please go inside and sit down and have a drink of water."

After saying that, he led everyone into the house.

After everyone entered the house, Liu Xiaoyu was still thinking about the secret passage. She wanted to ask Wang Hu about its specific location, but when she thought of Wang Hu's unyielding look, she knew it was useless to ask.

At this time, the other soldiers didn't bother to sit down. Liu Xiaoyu looked at Wang Haipeng with a serious look and asked directly: "Wang Haipeng, is there a secret passage in your house?"

When Wang Haipeng heard this, his face suddenly changed. His face was instantly filled with panic and shock. He looked evasive and stammered, "What...what secret passage? I...I don't know. I'm an ordinary family. How can I have such a thing?"

As he spoke, his hands began to tremble slightly unconsciously. His heart skipped a beat and he wondered how they knew about the secret passage. This was going to be trouble.

Seeing Wang Haipeng hesitating and refusing to tell the truth, Liu Xiaoyu immediately put away her polite attitude, her face darkened, and she said in a serious tone: "Wang Haipeng, you'd better tell me the truth and don't try to hide it. Otherwise, you can't afford the consequences."

Liu Xiaoyu paused, staring at Wang Haipeng, and then said, "Don't think that your family's secret passage is a private matter. If this secret passage can lead to somewhere else, it may cause some unnecessary trouble, and then it will be beyond your control. You have to think it through, and it is wise to tell the truth."

Wang Haipeng became more and more flustered as he listened to Liu Xiaoyu's words. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his lips trembled. But he was still hesitating whether to tell the truth. After all, the secret passage involved a serious matter and he was really afraid of getting into trouble.

After a while, Wang Haipeng seemed to have made up his mind. He swallowed hard, and said slowly with a hint of helplessness and nervousness, "Indeed... there is a secret passage."

He raised his eyes to look at everyone, and then said: "Since you all know, then...then follow me."

After saying that, he led everyone to the south room.

After entering the house, Wang Haipeng walked to the wall, reached out his hand and fumbled on the wall for a while, then gently turned a seemingly ordinary mechanism.

After hearing a few "crackling" sounds, a crack slowly appeared on the ground. Wang Haipeng pointed at the crack and said, "The secret passage... is right below. But this secret passage has not been used for a long time, and I don't know what's going on inside now."

As he said this, his face was full of anxiety. He was worried that there was some unknown danger hidden in this secret passage. He was also afraid that the soldiers would find something unfavorable to them after entering. For a moment, his expression became more and more solemn.

After hearing what Wang Haipeng said, Liu Xiaoyu couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Have you never gone down to take a look again?"

Wang Haipeng looked helpless and answered honestly, "I went in there once when I was a kid, but I was almost beaten to death by my father. Since then, I never dared to go in there again. And my father sternly told me at the time that there was nothing in there, it was just an ordinary passage. I believed him and never went near it again for so many years."

As he spoke, he glanced at the crack in the ground with lingering fear, as if he remembered something that happened to him when he was a child and was still a little scared.

Liu Xiaoyu stared at Wang Haipeng's expression with sharp eyes, trying to find a flaw in it, but after looking at it for a while, it seemed that he was not lying.

However, Liu Xiaoyu still reminded him seriously: "Wang Haipeng, you have to think carefully. If you tell a lie, you will have to bear all the consequences. It's not a joke."

Upon hearing this, Wang Haipeng quickly raised his hand and swore to the sky with a sincere and eager look: "I, Wang Haipeng, swear to the sky that everything I said just now is true, and there is absolutely no lie. If there is any lie, let me be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

His eyes were full of confidence, hoping that this would make Liu Xiaoyu believe in him. He prayed silently in his heart that no trouble would arise because of this secret passage.

Liu Xiaoyu looked deep in the eyes and said slowly: "As far as we know, this secret passage can lead to Youzhou."

After saying that, he pointed at Wang Hu and asked, "Last time, he forcibly drove you away from here, and then he lived here with you. Is that true?"

Wang Haipeng was a little at a loss for what to do. His eyes wandered back and forth between Liu Xiaoyu and Wang Hu in panic, not knowing how to respond.

At this time, Wang Hu sneered and said nonchalantly: "That's it, just admit it, I didn't do anything to you, I'm not the tiger that will eat you, why shouldn't I admit it."

After hearing what Wang Hu said, Wang Haipeng looked at Liu Xiaoyu who had a serious face. Helplessly, he had to bite the bullet and nodded, and replied in a low voice: "Yes... that's what happened."

But I was secretly complaining in my heart, hoping that this storm would be settled soon and not bring me more trouble.

Liu Xiaoyu continued with a serious face: "The Prime Minister has already stipulated that Youzhou is not a place where people can enter and leave casually. You must go through relevant procedures. If everyone can enter Youzhou at will through this secret passage, it will be a mess and cause a lot of trouble."

Wang Haipeng waved his hands quickly and said innocently, "I really never thought that this secret passage could lead to that place. I really had no idea about it before."

Liu Xiaoyu frowned slightly and asked, "Then do you know when this secret passage was dug?"

As he spoke, he also looked around the house, secretly estimating that the house was probably more than a hundred years old, and speculated: "I guess this secret passage must have something to do with your ancestors."

Wang Haipeng was also confused after hearing this. He scratched his head and replied, "I... I really don't know. My father didn't tell me in detail about this secret passage, let alone when it was dug. I really don't know."

After saying that, he also looked helpless and stood there feeling a little uneasy.

Liu Xiaoyu exchanged a glance with the other soldiers and said in a serious tone, "No matter why this secret passage was dug in the first place, it must be sealed to avoid any trouble."

After saying that, he motioned for everyone to go into the secret passage.

Wang Hu leaned against the wall and said impatiently, "I'm very tired and don't want to go anywhere. If you want to go, go by yourselves."

Liu Xiaoyu knew Wang Hu's stubborn temper very well, so she didn't try to persuade him any further. She just turned around and told the two soldiers, "You two stay here and watch him. Don't let him run around. I'll take the others, including Wang Haipeng, to check inside."

When Wang Haipeng heard that they were going to enter the secret passage, he looked troubled and said worriedly, "If this secret passage really leads to Youzhou, we will have to walk a long way. I don't know if I can hold on with my physical strength. Otherwise, I'll go in with some dry food, just in case."

Liu Xiaoyu thought about it for a moment and felt that what he said made sense, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, then you go and get ready, and we'll set off as soon as possible."

Wang Haipeng hurriedly turned around to prepare dry food, while Liu Xiaoyu stood at the entrance of the secret passage, waiting for him while secretly wondering what the situation would be like in the secret passage, her heart filled with a complex emotion of caution and expectation.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xi Yu thought about it and finally decided to tell Ouyang Linlin the truth of the matter.

When he arrived outside Ouyang Linlin's door, Ouyang Linlin inside the room seemed to have telepathy and asked softly, "Is my husband here?"

Xi Yu responded, and then said: "Linlin, if you are fine, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you." Not long after, Ouyang Linlin slowly walked out, her eyes full of confusion. Xi Yu winked at her and said in a low voice: "Linlin, follow me to the corner over there, it's more convenient to talk here."

Although Ouyang Linlin didn't understand what was going on, she nodded obediently and followed Xi Yu to the corner. She secretly wondered in her heart whether her husband was so mysterious and wanted to tell her something important. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Ouyang Linlin moved lightly and followed Xi Yu to the corner of the courtyard.

It was quiet here, with only the rustling of the breeze blowing through the branches. Xi Yu looked solemn as he slowly told Song Shuwen his diagnosis.

"Song Shuwen said that only by finding the rare forget-me-not herb can Xiaohong regain her memory."

When Ouyang Linlin heard this, she frowned slightly and looked heartbroken.

"It seems that it is extremely difficult to find the forget-me-not grass in this world, just like looking for a needle in a haystack. It seems that the situation is really not optimistic."

Xi Yu said that no matter how difficult it was, he would go and find it himself.

She looked up at Xi Yu and spoke earnestly.

"My dear, the road to find the medicine is bound to be full of dangers. I really don't want you to take the risk yourself."

Xi Yu shook his head slightly, his eyes determined.

"Linlin, Xiaohong went out and encountered this incident because of my arrangement. It is my responsibility to personally embark on this journey to find the medicine."

Ouyang Linlin wanted to dissuade him again with words, but seeing Xi Yu's determined expression, she was speechless for a moment, and could only worry silently in her heart. She didn't know how many hardships her husband would face this time, and whether he would be able to return safely.

Xi Yu gently held Ouyang Linlin's hand. His palm was broad and warm, completely wrapping Ouyang Linlin's small hand.

His eyes were sincere and firm, looking straight into the depths of Ouyang Linlin's eyes.

"Linlin, you just need to stay home and wait for me to come back. I will definitely come back safely, so don't worry too much about me. Besides, I really miss my hometown, and this trip can be considered as a revisit to my hometown, so just relax."

Ouyang Linlin felt the warmth and strength coming from Xiyu's hand. Although her heart was still full of worry and reluctance, looking at Xiyu's resolute expression, she knew that her dissuasion was of no avail.

She nodded slightly, trying hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out, and said softly: "Husband, you must be more careful. I will pray for you day and night at home, and hope that you will return soon."

"Linlin, you can rest assured. Now let's wait for Song Shuwen to find the relevant books. After I get the clues about the forget-me-not from them, it won't be too late to set off officially. I will definitely make all the preparations and will not act rashly, so you can rest assured."

After hearing this, Ouyang Linlin felt a little relieved, but the worry in her eyes was still difficult to completely dissipate. She just nodded obediently and responded to Xi Yu's words.

After Song Shuwen hurried back to the clinic, he did not stop for a moment and plunged into the mountain of medical books and documents.

The light in the hall was dim, with only the oil lamp in front of his desk emitting a faint but firm light.

His eyes were focused and anxious, and his slender fingers quickly swept across the dusty books, carefully searching for clues about forget-me-not.

Time passed quietly in this quiet clinic. Song Shuwen ignored his fatigue and hunger, and read through the books page by page, pondering over them over and over again.

Finally, after going through many twists and turns and searching almost all the books in the clinic, he found the precious information in an old, yellowed, thread-bound medical book with torn corners.

At that moment, a hint of surprise and excitement flashed in his eyes. After taking a long breath, he did not bother to tidy up the mess in the clinic and hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Song Shuwen once again stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, his face full of excitement.

As soon as he saw Song Shuwen, Xi Yu couldn't wait to ask, "Have you got any clues?"

Song Shuwen nodded slightly, took out a book from his bosom, handed it to Xi Yu, and said, "Prime Minister, take a look at this. It has the shape of forget-me-not drawn on it. But forget-me-not is extremely rare and usually grows in extremely cold places. I'm not sure if it exists, but these are the only clues I know for now."

Xi Yu took the book and looked at the forget-me-not carefully, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, Xi Yu said, "If that's the case, I'll go to the snowy mountain to search for it. Maybe I can find something."

Song Shuwen looked at Xi Yu's resolute expression and said softly, "Well, we can only try our luck. You must be careful when you go there. The snowy mountains are not a good place. There are dangers everywhere."

"Don't worry, I will be careful and will find the forget-me-not." Xi Yu said.

At this moment, Xi Yu suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Song Shuwen.

"Doctor Song, thank you for your patience in searching for medical skills. I thought you were against me searching instead of looking for books or you said you couldn't find them."

Song Shuwen immediately shook his head, saying that a doctor is like a loving parent.

I will never do anything that goes against medical ethics.

"It suddenly occurred to me that I could try going to Kunlun Mountain first. I wonder..."

Xi Yu had this idea, but was afraid that Song Shuwen would be jealous, so Song Shuwen immediately laughed.

"My Lord Prime Minister, I understand what you mean. Just go ahead."

Xi Yu nodded, and finally let Song Shuwen leave.

Xi Yu thought, if that’s the case, then he should take Xiao Hong with him.

Naturally, he had to tell Ouyang Linlin about this matter, so he walked towards Ouyang Linlin's room.

When they arrived at Ouyang Linlin's room, Xi Yu suggested taking Xiaohong to Kunlun Mountain to try, because that was where Tuoba Yu recovered his memory last time.

Ouyang Linlin's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, how could she have forgotten about this?

"That's great, you can take Xiaohong to have a look."

Ouyang Linlin then called Xiaohong over.

I told Xiaohong about this.

Although Xiaohong still felt very confused, she also knew that the other party was putting himself in her shoes and thinking about her, and she felt a little touched.

"Well, in that case I'll go."

Xi Yu said, let’s start tomorrow.

Finally, he left here. He thought that if the two Taoist priests on Kunlun Mountain could make Xiaohong better, then he would not have to look for any herbs. (End of this chapter)
