After receiving Sima Yi's letter from Fei Ge, Sima Shi continued to stay in Changyi according to his father's instructions to protect the safety of Liu Xie, Cai Jue and others. At the same time, he also followed Sima Yi's instructions and began to assist Wang Chang in secretly investigating the "Not-dang Fei Army".

Since this matter is likely to involve Liu Xie and Zhuge Liang, considering the seriousness of the matter, Sima Shi had to investigate secretly. So after all the personnel arranged by Wang Chang were secretly deployed in Shanyang Jingshu, he left here with confidence and investigated everywhere.

Before leaving, Sima Shi specially told Liu Xie, Cao Jie said:

"Your Duke Shanyang and your wife must not leave the temple for a half step during this period. It is best for safety reasons that you can be considered sick to the outside world and temporarily cut off all contacts with the outside world, so as not to interfere with the accomplices of those who have previously come to seek treatment among the people."

Liu Xie had no hesitation or concern about Sima Shi's suggestion and decisively agreed to him.

Because he saw a dazzling light that was very similar to Sima Yi in the eyes of Sima Shi, as if Sima Yi himself was standing in front of him, reminding him of many past events worth recalling. These alone were enough to make Liu Xie trust Sima Shi:

"I understand, you should be careful..."

Then Sima Shi turned around and instructed Yang Huiyu and Xin Xianying:

"Miss Huiyu, Mrs. Xin, we don't know what the men in black are planning, or who they are targeting, but in order to avoid the dangerous situation that happened again, please do not leave the temple."

Since Sima Shi came here until now, due to the inducement of his father Sima Yi, Xin Xianying has always been interested in this young man who is only twenty-five or six years old. He is decisive in his work, calm and comprehensive in judgment and skillful in martial arts. Except for the last point, he is almost very close to Sima Yi described by Cai Jue and Yang Jian.

From the previous style of men in black acting fast and retreating in an orderly manner, although Xin Xianying didn't know who they were, their origins must not be simple. During this period, it was precisely because of Sima Shi's timely appearance that those men in black did not attack again. Moreover, Xin Xianying also keenly noticed one thing, that is, Sima Shi secretly deployed people to protect them near the temple. Although in order to avoid causing themselves, Yang Huiyu deliberately hid his actions with the panic of Liu Xie and his wife, and tried not to be noticed by them, but still could not escape Xin Xianying, who had a keen sense of smell.

Xin Xianying was relieved to entrust himself, Yang Huiyu and Cai Jue's safety to him.

After that, Sima Shi left the temple many times, and Yang Huiyu would carefully prepare many antidote herbs to deal with various trauma and common toxins after he left. In addition, Sima Shi often went out early and came back late. Yang Huiyu was worried that he would not have a good meal, so he would help him with midnight snacks every time after he came back, which was seen by Xin Xianying.

Seeing Yang Huiyu sitting alone on a small stone bench, focusing on pounding medicine with a stone pestle, Xin Xianying walked to her side and asked with a smile:

"You mother probably can't use these herbs, right?"

Yang Huiyu didn't think much about it and replied:

"These are not for my mother. I see that Master Master is a martial artist. In order to protect my safety, I was injured before, so I wanted to prepare some commonly used trauma medicines that he always could use."

Seeing Yang Huiyu looking so at Sima Shi, Xin Xianying couldn't help but be worried:

"Huiyu, you are talking to Sima Shih..."

"Hmm? What?"

Because she devoted herself to how to make the medicine well, Yang Huiyu did not hear the implication of Xin Xianying's words, and she didn't even hear anything she said, so she raised her head and asked Xin Xianying again what she said just now, while Xin Xianying smiled and shook her head:

"nothing..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Shi, holding a long sword, pushed open the bamboo door and walked in. Yang Huiyu immediately stood up as soon as he saw it:

"You haven't eaten yet?"

Originally, Sima Shi felt sorry for Yang Huiyu preparing food for himself every day, but over time he became accustomed to it, so he smiled and nodded:

"Yeah, not yet..."

"I know it's like that. You clean your hands first and wait a moment. I'll do it for you now..."

A few times after Sima Shi ate all the food made by Yang Huiyu, the two of them would sit on the bamboo and wooden floor and look up at the stars and chat. For some reason, Sima Shi felt very relaxed and comfortable when talking to her, without any pressure or restraint. This feeling was not felt at all by his wife Xiahou Hui, because it was difficult for Sima Shi to not take into account the relationship between the Sima family and the Cao family when facing Xiahou Hui.

He even told Yang Huiyu about Sima Zhao, and he generally would not speak to outsiders.

After learning about the tense relationship between Sima Zhao and his father Sima Yi, looking at Sima Shi, who was deeply worried about the matter, Yang Huiyu comforted him and said:

"Don't worry, according to the young master's previous description, your brother is a smart person. I think he will understand Lingzun's painstaking efforts one day."

Sima Shi's comforting smile:

"It's strange. Every time I chat with you, I feel very comfortable."

Yang Huiyu also replied with a sweet smile:

"Then you can come to chat with me at any time..."

At the same time, Sima Shi also discovered Yang Huiyu's thoughts, that is, Cai Jue, his mother, who was still unconscious even though her physical condition gradually improved. He wanted to reach out and pat her on the shoulder to comfort her, but when he thought of the men and women not being able to treat each other, Sima Shi put down his arm:

"You have such excellent medical skills and with the help of Shanyang Gong, you should know that your mother will not be in serious trouble..."

Sima Shi's words greatly encouraged Yang Huiyu, and she nodded and smiled:

"Is it your turn to comfort me now?"

The two of them smiled knowingly, and the atmosphere was full of warmth...

After a period of time, Sima Shi and Yang Huiyu became good friends who could talk about everything. Even Cao Jie couldn't help but say in a joking tone when he was having tea with Xin Xianying:

"Every day, there are farmers who take food and other goods to Changyi City to sell, often leaving early and returning late. The wives (that is, wives) who stay at home will light up the lamps and wait for their husbands to come back at home, and prepare hot meals to comfort the husbands who have worked hard all day. Now Huiyu and Sima Shi are like this, those who don't know how to really think they are husband and wife..."

Xin Xianying, who picked up the teacup, looked at the light green tea in the teacup and fell into deep thought:

"I feel like this sometimes..."

However, in Xin Xianying's eyes, their relationship became more familiar, heralded a very bad prospect for Yang Huiyu.

After nearly two months of investigation, Sima Shi and Wang Chang did not find any whereabouts of the man in black in Changyi. After careful analysis, Sima Shi and Wang Chang reached a consensus:

The original purpose of those mysterious men in black who held the "Wudang Flying Army" token was to hit the target with one blow. Since they had already alerted the snake, they probably gave up their original plan and evacuated Changyi to avoid further leaking their whereabouts.

After integrating his opinions with Wang Chang, Sima Shi wrote the conclusion into a letter to Fei Ge sent a letter back to Luoyang.

Not long after, Sima Shi received a reply from Sima Yi. In the letter, he urged Sima Shi to return to Luoyang as soon as possible. As for the safety of Liu Xie and Cao Jie, he was left to Wang Chang to protect him. Considering that Cai Jue's current physical condition could not leave, and Yang Dan and others who had completed the burial of Yang Fei had begun to return, Sima Yi decided to let them stay there for the time being. Considering the urgency of the matter and the long journey, Sima Shi had to hurry back to Wuyang Hou Mansion.

Due to the urgent matter, Sima Shi did not have time to go back to the temple to say goodbye to Yang Huiyu. Instead, after Puyang and Wang Chang made an explanation, he hurried back to Luoyang. Before leaving, Sima Shi told Wang Chang:

"Please take good care of them..."

On that night, no matter how Yang Huiyu waited, he did not see Sima Shi pushing open the bamboo door and walking in as usual.

Xin Xianying found that Yang Huiyu's clothes were very thin, so she walked to her side and gently covered the blanket on her shoulder:

"Don't you sleep so late?"

Yang Huiyu seemed not to hear Xin Xianying's words, but instead muttered to himself:

"He usually came back long ago at this time. Has he delayed what happened today?"

"Huiyu..."

What Xin Xianying has always been most worried about is that Yang Huiyu fell in love with Sima Shi over time. Now, judging from her various words and deeds, everything seems to be developing more and more in the direction she is worried about.

Now that she can no longer sit idly by like this, she made it clear:

"Did you feel in love with Sima Shi?"

At first, Yang Huiyu did not react to Xin Xianying's words, and she was still worried about Sima Shi, until she suddenly realized that Sima Shi might be in danger on her way back, so she suddenly stood up:

"Did he have something unexpected?"

In an instant, she realized what Xin Xianying said just now, and she thought she had heard it wrong:

"Uncle, what did you say just now?"

Xin Xianying's face was serious and repeated his question again:

"I'll ask if you like Sima Shi?"

As soon as she heard Xin Xianying ask herself, the simple Yang Huiyu was surprised. She immediately denied:

"Of course there is no more. Master Master is my savior. I only have gratitude to him and have no affection between men and women."

Seeing that she denied her favorite Sima Shi, Xin Xianying finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Yang Huiyu felt it was incredible:

"Why did my aunt ask that?"

"I originally noticed that you two are very close during this period, and you little girl has been following your parents to learn medical theory and rarely contact outside men. When you meet a man like Sima, you will inevitably fall in love with him, so I'm worried that you will fall in love..."

When she heard Xin Xianying say this, Yang Huiyu immediately smiled and said:

"Uncle, you are too worried. His father Sima Gong has a deep friendship with his mother. I just respect him as a brother. Besides, I also know that Master Master has a wife, so how can he intervene in their lives?"

Xin Xianying was finally relieved now, but she always felt that she should remind Yang Huiyu in depth, so she said to her:

"Originally, my aunt shouldn't interrupt your marriage, but my aunt still wants to remind you that it's best not to have any involvement with the Sima family, especially Sima Shi. The situation in the court is very complicated at this moment. According to the description of my father Xinpi and your uncle Yang Dan, the people who dominate the court are no longer Sima Yi and Chen Qun. Your Majesty now relies heavily on Cao Shuang and Huan Fan, and intends to use them to suppress Sima Yi's rapidly expanding power. As you know, Sima Shi's wife is Xiahou Hui, and her mother is Cao Shuang's biological father Cao Zhen's sister. Although Xiahou Hui does not intend to help Cao Shuang deal with the Sima family at present, that is a short balance that Sima Shi has not taken concubines for many years and favored her alone. If you get involved, then it will cause great fluctuations in Xiahou Hui's mentality, and may even lead to a change in her position..."

After hearing Xin Xianying talk about a lot of political things, Yang Huiyu felt very scary, and he couldn't believe it:

"No way? I heard from Master Master that his wife Xiahou Hui is a very virtuous, smart and very strong-minded woman. In order to help Master Master Master, he would even turn against his uncle and form. How could such a person who has a deep friendship with him betray his husband?"

"It seems that you really didn't get moved by Sima Shi..."

Xin Xianying sighed and said:

"You should know that the deeper the love a woman has for a man, the less she is allowed to betray her. If this man touches her bottom line, then all the previous feelings will be twisted into endless hatred. At that time, she will try every means to get rid of the obstacles between herself and her husband. When she realizes that she can no longer win back her husband's heart, it will be not far from the most dangerous situation. Especially if this woman has wisdom, it is difficult to predict what she will do next..."
