When they woke up the next morning, they were walking around the island, where a low shrub grew widely, and on which there were still unfallen red fruits. A few greedy horses ate a lot, and it didn't hinder it, and everyone also tasted it, sweet and juicy, which made people feel refreshed.

Xu Shu took a few soldiers early in the morning, drove a small boat left on the island, went to several nearby islands to check, and came back until dark, and even held a bouquet of fragrant flowers in his hand.

"Lao Xu, I actually went to pick flowers. Hehe, it's not easy to see flowers in this winter. Wang Baoyu said with a smile.

Xu Shu divided the flowers into two bunches and gave them to Zhang Qiying and Kirbyqing, the two girls who were happy, and then asked, "Baoyu, don't you think this island is quite special?" ”

"What's so special?" Wang Baoyu asked puzzled.

"It's not a hot place, but it has flowers, green grass, green trees and fruits, and the climate is warm, and it looks like this all year round." Xu Shu said.

"That's what you're saying, it's a great place to getaway."

"Baoyu, I have something to ask for?" Xu Shu said solemnly.

"What can't we say about this relationship!" Wang Baoyu said casually, but a trace of sourness rose inexplicably in his heart.

Xu Shu paused slightly, then curtsied his knees and made a big salute, Wang Baoyu hurriedly helped him up, "Old Xu, what is this for, have something to say." ”

Xu Shu burst into tears and said in a low voice: "Xu Shu is willing to stay here for a long time and concentrate on cultivation, but I am afraid that I will no longer be able to follow you." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Baoyu, you know that I have long had the heart of retreat, since the name of this island is called Guiyin Island, and there was once a Gaoshi residence, Xu Shu hopes to stay here, and seek the Tao wholeheartedly, without asking about the world." Xu Shu said.

Wang Baoyu was stunned, Xu Shu mentioned that he wanted a small island to retreat, he didn't care, and now Xu Shu has been running here with him without abandoning, and he is about to return to Yiling to enjoy happiness, but he wants to stay here alone, which is a little unacceptable.

"Lao Xu, you think about it, this place is not safe!" Wang Baoyu said.

"Dongyi has been subdued, and this place is far from the coast, so no one should come. Xu Shu is alone, harmless to others, and will be able to protect himself. Xu Shu said firmly.

"The main reason is that we don't know much about this small island, and the four seasons are just preliminary guesses, and we don't know what potential dangers there are. Although there are several small ponds that store rainwater from the sky, it is impossible to survive without fresh water during dry seasons. Lao Xu, in my opinion, you can send soldiers to investigate in the future, and it is not too late to come back when you are sure. Wang Baoyu said bitterly.

Xu Su smiled bitterly and asked rhetorically: "Baoyu, you insisted on staying in the north at the beginning, but did you listen to our advice?" ”

Wang Baoyu was stunned, sighed, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Lao Xu, our situation is a little different. The sooner I return to the future, the sooner I can see my loved ones, especially the elderly. But you're different, and it's never too late to come back next year. You also know that after returning to Yiling this time, I am going to find all those immortals, and when you are in practice, you will also have a famous teacher to guide you, so why bother to explore alone on this small island? ”

"The book I got from the ship already includes a lot of cultivation methods, and Xu Shu no longer needs a famous teacher." A hint of confidence flashed in Xu Shu's eyes.

"This book is not good, it is not a cheat, that is, it is watched and played. How to say it, it is that some people in the future, searching for some information on the Internet, have pieced together such a book. Wang Baoyu explained.

"Don't hide it from Baoyu, in the past few months, Xu has benefited a lot from practicing like this, as if he is on the right path." Xu Shu said.

There are a few broken books on the stall for a few yuan, and Xu Shu actually regarded it as a cultivation treasure, which is really quite alternative. Wang Baoyu couldn't discourage him, and said: "Alas, Lao Xu, we are also old friends, I really can't bear you." ”

"The red dust is a little sad, and the prosperity is empty. If you have ascended to the retreat in the past and now, how can you follow the waves and turn back? Xu Shu muttered a poem in his mouth, then half-knelt on the ground again, and arched his hand: "Baoyu is benevolent, it is immeasurable, Xu is sincerely convinced, and I sincerely ask for permission to do this." ”

Wang Baoyu sighed deeply a few times, helped Xu Shu up again, and finally nodded: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and I can't force you, if you want to stay, stay!" ”

Hearing that Xu Shu was not leaving, Fan Jinqiang, Feiyun Mouse and others came to persuade him, Xu Shu had made up his mind, and persuasion was naturally useless. The two girls were also familiar with Xu Shu, and they also came to persuade for a long time, but it also had no effect, and they made Zhang Qiying angry and crying, why are they so stubborn.

Everyone was in a bad mood because of this, Xu Shu still went out early and returned late every day, surveying the nearby islands, and two days later, it was finally time to separate.

Wang Baoyu insisted on leaving a few soldiers to take care of Xu Shu, and it was also convenient to contact the mainland, Xu Shu happily accepted, and at the same time solemnly gave Wang Baoyu six words, linking Liu and Sun Cao.

Xu Shu said that relying on these six words, Yiling can be guaranteed to be foolproof, and his analysis coincides with Wang Baoyu's thoughts. Yiling is just a small place, although it is full of masters, groups of strategists, and many organs in the city, it is impregnable, but if hundreds of thousands of troops raise troops to attack, it will be difficult to preserve.

Although Wang Baoyu has a good relationship with Cao Cao, no one can escape birth, old age, sickness and death, and Cao Cao has come to the end of his life. It will be the eldest son Cao Pi who will succeed to the throne in the future, but Wang Baoyu's relationship with him is very poor.

Therefore, Wang Baoyu's biggest danger still comes from the Cao clan, which he once contributed the most.

Liu Bei is Wang Baoyu's eldest brother, and he will not turn his face lightly with Wang Baoyu in public or private, maybe they will be closer than before when they meet again.

As for Sun Quan, even if he is his eldest brother, Sun Shangxiang has always stayed in Yiling City, and with this, Sun Quan will not turn his face lightly.

Having a good relationship with Liu Bei and Sun Quan is undoubtedly crucial to the safety of Yiling.

Wang Baoyu told Xu Shu to take care of his health, left all the excess supplies on the ship, and led everyone to drive this modern warship all the way to the west.

The boat drove far away, and Wang Baoyu saw from the telescope that Xu Shu was still standing in place and waving his hand, revealing an indescribable loneliness, and his heart was inevitably sentimental, and tears wet his eyes. Alas, this parting may never see him again.

The warship went all the way, the wind and waves were calm, and after half a month, they finally saw the land from a distance, and the soldiers immediately let out a burst of cheers.

Wang Baoyu told everyone to be careful, the front should be Sun Quan's territory, and he fled from Sun Quan's camp that rainy night, I don't know if he, the future eldest brother, still hates himself.
