Xun Yu felt that he was on a boat, sailing in the sea, and the turbulent wind and waves made him dizzy. He felt that he was surrounded by a ball of fire, and the flames licked his hair and beard, making him feel hot all over. In the fire, Xi Zhicai's crazy face was showing a hungry smile, as if he saw a table of delicious food, drooling.

Am I going to be the food he says?

Xun Yu had a headache and his whole body seemed to be disintegrating, and he couldn't help but moan.

"What's the name? I'll tell you to throw you here and freeze to death!" An impatient voice rang over the head.

"Oh, stop shouting, he is a patient." Another gentle voice rang out immediately.

This is Kawujie's voice. Why did she reach Xuanminghai? Have I returned to the northern border? Who is that voice sounding familiar, but why can't I remember where I have seen it?

Xun Yu thought for a while, then lost consciousness and fell asleep in a drowsy manner.

Liu Bian was very depressed. He came to Xuanminghai to stop Xun Yu from slaying the dragon, and to see if there was any possibility of communication, not to save Xun Yu. Now Xun Yu is as injured as a dead dog, and he has to drag him back with great effort. He can't even use a ski, so he has to walk. Walking in the waist-deep snow is not easy. Even if he has reached the realm of a demigod, his continuous trekking makes him exhausted.

However, there is a task that has been achieved. With Xun Yu's injury, even if he can survive, it is impossible to kill the dragon. I don't know whether Xi Zhi was intentional or unintentional. Xun Yu's dantian Qihai was severely damaged. All his cultivation was ruined. If he hadn't arrived in time and had a late meal, Xun Yu might have frozen into an ice corpse.

Of course he wouldn't leave Xun Yu alone, but he was unhappy and just wanted to complain a few times.

Alas, Diao Chan must have cooked fragrant deer milk and roasted shiny and browned venison, waiting for me to go back, but my dignified emperor, a demigod who can make the killer whales stretch. Now he wants to pull a stretcher for Xun Yu.

Liu Bian muttered. He pulled Xun Yu forward with difficulty. After a difficult day of the journey, he pulled Xun Yu to the beach and summoned the giant dragon and orca boatman. He sat on the back of the orca and held the dorsal fin of the orca. Liu Bian finally got rid of the treatment of a coolie.

Orcas parade in the sea. They were much faster than Liu Bian walking on land. After half a day, Liu Bian came to the place where Diao Chan camped.

Hearing Liu Bian's shouts, Diao Chan happily came out of the tent, running all the way, and pounced on Liu Bian's arms.

"Haha, I've been busy for two days and one night, tired and hungry, is there anything delicious?"

"Yes, yes." Diao Chan said happily: "Husband, you must have never imagined that we have a distinguished guest."

"Disciple?" Liu Bian couldn't laugh or cry. There was no sign of a person in this snowy sky and snow for dozens of miles. Where did the distinguished guest come from?

"Yes, the husband Xun you have been looking for has come. Just now, he said he wanted to go and relax before leaving."

"Xun Yu?" Liu Bian was stunned and looked back at the stretcher that Kawujie dragged over. Xun Yu was lying on the stretcher. Where did the other Xun Yu come from? He was suddenly shocked and hurriedly said, "Did the Xun Yu you mentioned have a big hair, a beard, a torn clothes, and a thin as a ghost?"

"Yes. I didn't expect that Xun Yu, you often talk about, looks like this. Hehe, it's so ugly."

Diao Chan smiled happily, but the back of Liu Bian's head was filled with cold air. When he went to save Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai came here and spent more than a day with Diao Chan. He was still regarded as Xun Yu by Diao Chan?

What's going on?

Liu Bian did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly pulled Diao Chan into the tent and asked carefully. After listening to Diao Chan's narration, Liu Bian was really amused and crying. This was too outrageous. Is it because Xi Zhicai's crazy acting skills were too good, or Diao Chan was too stupid? After talking for more than a day, Diao Chan didn't realize that he had recognized the wrong person?

"Diao Chan, that's not Xun Yu, that's Xi Zhicai, Xi Zhicai who was sealed in the ice. He went crazy and even ate my big eagle raw."

"Ah?" Diao Chan was shocked and stunned for a while before saying, "But... But I don't think he is crazy at all. Although he is a little ugly and thinner, he is a humble gentleman."

"A gentleman is still humble and honest." Liu Bian was speechless and dragged Diao Chan to Xun Yu's stretcher: "This is the real Xun Yu. He was crippled by Xi Zhicai. He had been suffering from high fever for two days. He has not yet woken up. No one can tell whether he can survive."

Diao Chan was completely dumbfounded. After a while, she woke up as if she was dreaming: "No wonder Xun... When Xi Zhicai came, the Beast was scared away."

"That's right, the Pie Beast was injured by Xi Zhicai, and I still remember Xi Zhicai. You are not even as good as the Pie Beast." Liu Bian pinched Diao Chan's nose and said with lingering fear: "But a fool has his own blessings. You are simple and have no hostility, and Xi Zhicai did not hurt you. If you knew that he was Xi Zhicai, I'm afraid that what I saw now is a bunch of bones."

Diao Chan's face turned pale and her eyes were frightened. After a while, she sighed softly again: "Xi Zhi is so pitiful."

Liu Bian smacked his lips, not knowing how to explain to Diao Chan. She didn't see the cruel side of Xi Zhicai, but only saw the pitiful side of Xi Zhicai, so she would have said so. If she hadn't been lucky enough to have Xi Zhicai didn't faint at that time, she would probably not think so now. Liu Bian thought about it, and suddenly felt a stern heart. He picked up the mysterious knife, rushed out of the tent, and watched everywhere vigilantly.

There was silence around, and nothing was left. Liu Bian frowned and looked at the restless Beast. He walked to the Beast, stroked its mane, and sootheed it. He found a wooden stake, deeply wedged it into the ice layer, and then tied the Beast firmly to it. Finally, he patted the Beast's forehead: "I'm sorry for you, take it as the watchdog."

The mob was blown away and was very depressed.

...

Three hundred steps away, Xi Zhicai was lying in the snow, with only his eyes exposed, and quietly looking at the tent in the distance.

He felt the danger.

Not only were there a few more people in the tent, but there was also a master. The master's aura was very familiar. He probably fought with him not long ago, but he couldn't remember who he was. In addition, there were also threats on the sea in the distance, a threat that made him even more uneasy.

He didn't know what this was, but he instinctively kept himself away from here. Even if the beautiful woman made him nostalgic, the sweet deer milk and barbecue were so delicious, he decided to stay away from these dangers.

Just like a wild wolf, he carefully chose his direction.

After talking to the beautiful woman named Diao Chan for so long, he gained a lot. Now, he not only knew that Yang Situ was Yang Biao and Lu Sikong was Lu Zhi, but also knew about the war between the Confucian clan and the court, and he also knew about Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Yuan Shao had phoenix eggs in his hands, and the name Cao Cao was very familiar, as if he had been his good friend.

Diao Chan also said that he and the queen were relatives, but he had no impression of the queen's relatives at all.

Xi Zhicai decided to go back to that man and look for the memories he had lost. He first had to figure out who he was.

...

Two days later, Xun Yu's high fever gradually subsided and his consciousness became clear. When he learned that it was Liu Bian, the emperor who wanted to get rid of him, he was silent for a long time.

"Why did Your Majesty come to Xuanming Sea?"

"You come to Xuanminghai to slay my dragon, how could I not come?" Liu Bian said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Someone told me that you are also a dragon's life. You go to Xuanminghai not to slay dragons, but to take it for yourself. Is this true?"

Xun Yu smiled bitterly: "Did Chen Zhongfang say that?"

"It seems you know, too."

"Of course I know. The Chen family and the Xun family have been monitoring each other for a day or two. It is normal for them to use some small tricks between each other." Xun Yu sighed: "It seems that Chen Zhongfang is still very experienced and actually sees that the Confucian school cannot do anything, and once again made the most advantageous choice."

Liu Bian smiled, and he could hear the helplessness and loss in Xun Yu's words. "You have a chance, too."

"I am the culprit. I don't know how many people died because of me. I have no face to stand in the court." Xun Yu shook his head with difficulty: "Your Majesty, you must have a lot of things to ask me. While I can still talk, you can ask. As long as I can tell you, I will tell you."

Liu Bian looked at Xun Yu and thought for a while: "Chen Ji said, the Xun family and the Chen family are all thousands of years old families, is that true?"

"It's true. However, the Chen family has a phoenix-type bloodline, but the Xun family is not the dragon-type bloodline he mentioned."

"Isn't Xun's surname Ji?"

"The Xun family is a branch of the Ji surname, but the Ji surname itself is not a pure dragon bloodline. Your Majesty, the real establishment of the Confucian school was not Confucius, but Zhou Gong." Xun Yu moved, and Liu Bian quickly helped him sit up and put a soft pad behind him to lie comfortably. Xun Yu nodded gratefully and panted for a long time before continuing: "The phoenix bloodline of the Xun family is stronger than the dragon bloodline, but because of this dragon bloodline, although his ancestor Xun Qing was a teacher in Jixia, he was not accepted by the eight Confucian school. The etiquette and law he founded helped Qin Shihuang unify the six kingdoms, but could not help Emperor Xiaowu unify the hearts of the Han people."

Liu Bian didn't say anything, for fear of interrupting Xun Yu's thoughts. He had heard a lot about Xun's Confucianism, and knew that Jia Yi, Chao Cuo, Shen Gong and others in the early Han Dynasty were all descendants of Xun's Confucianism, but what he wanted to inquire about Xun Yu was not these, but the real reason why the Confucian opposes imperial power.

"Duke Zhou founded the Confucian school, but in fact, only one purpose was to replace the way of heaven with humanity." Xun Yu's eyes were bright: "Your Majesty, I have a saying that the heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs. The way of heaven is cruel and ruthless, and only humanity is worth cherishing. Therefore, there are thousands of Confucian classics, consistent, and one word is called benevolence."
