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

Xi Yu and the other three rushed towards Youzhou non-stop.

It was already late at night when we returned to Youzhou.

People at the border crossing saw Xi Yu and quickly saluted him when he came back. But at this moment, Xi Yu didn't say anything. Instead, with a livid face, he quickly rode into the city.

Because Zhuge Jin came with Xi Yu, the soldiers did not conduct any questioning on him.

It wasn't until they all entered the city that several soldiers started talking.

"What's going on, Prime Minister? Why does your face look so ugly?"

"That's right. Did something unhappy happen to you? And who is that girl and the other person?"

"Forget it, let's not ask so much."

What a few people were more concerned about was whether Xi Yu was unhappy because there was some war going on. If that happened, the people would suffer.

When Xiyu returned home, the night was getting darker and darker.

According to the time in the previous life, this should be after midnight.

The two soldiers at the entrance of the theater were a little sleepy at the moment.

They snuggled up against the door and fell asleep.

When Xi Yu saw this scene, he was very angry and shouted: "What are you doing?"

The two soldiers were shivering, and then they saw Xi Yu arriving.

They were so frightened that they quickly knelt down.

Xi Yu was particularly unhappy today, so he wanted to take out his anger on them.

"Is it because I asked you to guard the door here to sleep here?"

"Prime Minister, we were wrong. I hope you will never blame us."

Xi Yu slapped them several times, and then he felt relieved.

He also coldly warned them that if they were found to behave this way in the future, they would be fired directly.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, we will never dare to do this again."

When Xiaocui saw this scene, she felt very complicated. She suddenly felt that these two soldiers were actually very pitiful.

But I considered another issue from another angle. It’s great to have money and power.

Just like Xi Yu, he is a powerful minister and can scold people at will.

Although there is an emperor above him, Xiaocui understands.

Today Xiyu is like an emperor.

After entering the courtyard, Xiaocui carefully interrupted the entire theater.

Although it was dark night, she also felt that it was so beautiful inside.

Xiyu told Xiaocui to go and rest quickly and prepare a room for her.

Because he saw that Xiao Cui was already sleepy, but Zhuge Jin was unwilling to rest.

Because he has been worried about Wu Guotai's affairs.

He asked Xi Yu to quickly ask if he had received any letters or anything.

Xi Yu nodded and immediately called a few servants over and asked them to prepare a guest room for Xiao Cui.

Afterwards, Xi Yu took Zhuge Jin back to his room first.

As for him, he immediately came to Ouyang Linlin's room.

He knew that if a letter came, it was usually for Ouyang Linlin to read.

Ouyang Linlin had gone to bed early. She suddenly heard a violent knock on the door outside and became nervous.

Xiaohong quickly shouted: "Who is he?"

Xiyu's voice came from outside.

"It's me, open the door quickly."

Xiao Hong and Ouyang Linlin were both very excited. They didn't expect that Xi Yu had arrived.

I guess she came to Ouyang Linlin's room just after arriving, which made Xiaohong feel very relieved.

So, the two people quickly put on their clothes and opened the door.

They saw the moonlight bathing in Xi Yu's face, and Xi Yu's face was very ugly.

Ouyang Linlin came over quickly.

"Husband, you are here."

Xi Yu quickly asked Ouyang Linlin if she had received any letters or anything.

"There is a letter, husband, are you here for this matter?"

Xi Yu told her to stop talking nonsense and to quickly take out the letter and read it.

So, Xiaohong lit the lamp first, and Ouyang Linlin hurriedly went to get the letter. Xiyu quickly opened it and found that it was indeed from the kidnappers. They designated a ruined temple for him and told him to go there quickly.

Seeing the solemn look on his face, Ouyang Linlin quickly asked: "Husband, what happened?"

Xi Yu handed the letter directly to her.

"See for yourself."

Only then did Ouyang Linlin know that someone had kidnapped Wu Guotai.

God, how could such a thing happen?
Xi Yu briefly explained the relevant matters.

And the letter also said that you can't take anyone with you.

Xi Yu took the letter over and said, "Okay, you guys should rest quickly."

After that, Xi Yuxi quickly left the room.

Ouyang Linlin was particularly worried, but she didn't know what help she could do.

Xiaohong also felt upset.

"Miss, what should we do now?"

"I don't know. We can't do anything. We can only pray for our husband."

After saying this, Ouyang Linlin came to the small Buddhist hall and prayed for Xiyu with Xiaohong.

Xi Yu returned to the room, and Zhuge Jin quickly stood up.

"Prime Minister, how's it going?"

Xi Yu nodded, and finally handed the letter to Zhuge Jin to read.

After seeing the content of this letter, Zhuge Jin was excited and uncomfortable at the same time.

Excited that she finally found Wu Guotai's whereabouts.

But what should we do if Xiyu goes to a dangerous place like this?

"Prime Minister, what are you going to do?"
"Of course I have to go there quickly. You can wait here with peace of mind. I'll be there early tomorrow morning."

What else did Zhuge Jin want to say.

Xi Yu said, "Besides agreeing to their conditions, do we have any other options?"

Zhuge Jin sighed and really didn't know what to say.

"Okay, you go and have a rest. Tomorrow you can go find your brother Zhuge Liang and have a good time catching up on old times."

Zhuge Jin thought to himself, how could he still be in the mood to reminisce with Zhuge Liang at this time?

He hoped to find Wu Guotai quickly.

Xi Yu knew Ouyang Linlin, and she must have gone to the Buddhist temple to pray, so he hurried to the Buddhist temple.

Seeing that the lanterns were indeed lit in the Buddhist hall, Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong had already walked out.

Ouyang Linlin said: "Husband, don't worry, Buddha will definitely bless you, and Wu Guotai prays to Buddha, I believe nothing will happen to her."

Xi Yu also knew that the other party's real target was him, so Wu Guotai would really be fine.

"Don't tell Sun Shangxiang this matter. Do you remember it?"

Both of them nodded, but Ouyang Linlin was more worried about Xi Yu.

"Husband, do you really want to go?"

Xi Yu repeated what he said to Zhuge Jin.

"I have no other choice. I can't pretend that nothing happened."

"Okay, I believe you will come back safely."

There was a determined look in Ouyang Linlin's eyes.

Xi Yu just asked them to take a good rest.

Jiangnan.

Under the doctor's careful treatment, Sun Ce's body gradually recovered, but the pain in his heart still could not dissipate.

He prayed silently, hoping to bear the pain for his mother in exchange for her safety.

Seeing that Sun Ce was worried all day long, Zhang Zhao comforted him and said, "My lord, don't be too worried. If Zhuge Jin informs Xi Yu about this matter, he will definitely handle it properly. My lord, you can rest assured."

Sun Ce nodded slightly. He still trusted Xi Yu's ability, but the concern in his heart did not diminish at all.

"I hope everything goes well..." Sun Ce murmured softly.

Early the next morning, Xi Yu didn't dare to delay at all. He immediately mounted his horse and galloped towards the ruined temple.

Although the letter asked him not to bring anyone with him, Xi Yu secretly brought along loyal guards just in case.

After two days of arduous trek, Xi Yu finally arrived in front of the ruined temple.

At this moment, Zhao Qiang was in an extremely irritable mood. He originally thought that Xi Yu would not come, and the anger in his heart was instantly ignited.

So, he punched and kicked Wu Guotai mercilessly.

Wu Guotai could only endure the physical pain and then beg for mercy.

"You old guy, shut up!" Zhao Qiang said viciously, "If you dare to say one more thing, I will beat you to death immediately!"

Wu Guotai endured the pain, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

She knew she couldn't show weakness in front of the enemy, so she straightened her body and looked at Zhao Qiang without fear.

"A villain like you is destined to be punished!" Wu Guotai said sternly.

Xi Yu's heart tightened when he heard the commotion in the temple. He quickly approached the ruined temple, trying to find a suitable opportunity to rescue Wu Guotai.

Xi Yu stepped into the ruined temple, anger filling his eyes.

He glared at Zhao Qiang and sternly questioned his identity and purpose.

Zhao Qiang asked who Xi Yu was.

Xiyu sneered.

"You asked me to come, don't you know who I am?"

Wu Guotai took the opportunity to beg Xiyu to save her.

Only then did Zhao Qiang become convinced that the person in front of him was Xi Yu, and the stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.

However, Zhao Qiang's tone suddenly became fierce.

He threatened Xiyu.

"Kneel down immediately, otherwise I will kill Wu Guotai."

Xi Yu's eyes became determined, he would never give in to the evil forces.

He was thinking about how to deal with this crisis and protect Wu Guotai's safety.

"I won't kneel down, don't even think about using her to threaten me!" Xi Yu's voice was filled with determination.

A tense atmosphere filled the ruined temple, and a life-and-death battle was about to begin...

Xi Yu straightened his body and stared at Zhao Qiang firmly, without any fear.

"Do you think you can blackmail me with Wu Guotai? I, Xiyu, am not a puppet at the mercy of others!" There was a firmness in his voice.

When Zhao Qiang saw this, his expression turned ferocious.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill her?"

Xiyu sneered.

"If you dare to take action, I will make you pay the price!"

The two were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

"You and I have no grievances, so why are we so hard on each other?" Xi Yu tried to lighten the atmosphere.

Zhao Qiang frowned.

"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't kneel down, she will be dead!"

Xi Yu sighed secretly, it seemed that he could only find a way to stabilize Zhao Qiang first.

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "I can kneel, but you have to tell me why you want to do this?"

Zhao Qiang also directly told the truth at this time.

He is Liu Long's man, and Liu Long is the enemy of the imperial court. If Xi Yu helps Liu Xie, he is going against himself.

Xi Yu had actually guessed the other party's identity.

The biggest enemy now is Liu Long, and he has not met Liu Long yet.

But the dirty things the other party did have already affected him.

Xi Yu's face became very scary, and his eyes were particularly sharp.

He looked at Zhao Qiang with a sneer.

Zhao Qiang said: "My name is Zhao Qiang. Of course, King Yama will also tell you when you get to the Yama world, but I have to tell you in advance now."

Xi Yu said: "You are going against the grain. You are helping a villain. Although I don't know what kind of beast Liu Long is, I know that neither Liu Song nor Liu Long is a good person."

Zhao Qiang shivered with anger, then pointed at Xi Yu's nose and cursed loudly.

"In this case, you have become my prisoner. I didn't expect that you would dare to speak to me like this."

"So what? Isn't what I said a fact?"

Zhao Qiang said fiercely: "If we want to say that you are a rebellious minister, then you are the one. You are controlling the emperor now. You are not the emperor yourself, but what is the difference between you and the emperor? You are the real one who is holding the emperor hostage to order the princes. You It’s so shameless, bah.”

With that said, Zhao Qiang spit on the ground to express his anger towards himself.

"I do all this for the people, not in the name of the people like you, but for yourself, you are the most shameless."

The two sides seemed to be having a debate.

Zhao Qiang knew that in terms of eloquence, he might not be able to match Xi Yu.

He didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, so he immediately took the knife and put it on Wu Guotai's neck.

"I don't want to listen to your nonsense. I will shout from one to ten. If you still can't kneel down, then I will have to kill this old guy."

Although Wu Guotai was a little scared in his heart, he still pretended to be fearless in the face of danger.

"Prime Minister, you must not take care of me. If I die, I will die. I can't let you suffer for me."

Xi Yu did not expect that Wu Guotai would say this at a critical moment. He originally thought that Wu Guotai would be frightened and beg for mercy.

"Prime Minister, I have only one request, that you can treat my daughter well, so that I can rest in peace when I die."

After saying this, Wu Guotai slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the next step of death.

Zhao Qiang didn't expect Wu Guotai to say this.

But he slapped Wu Guotai wildly.

Xi Yu said to Zhao Qiang: "If you stop now, it's still too late."

Zhao Qiang cursed directly.

"Tell me to stop. How is this possible? Just give up."

The secret guards did not move out.

Xi Yu is not sure about the special period now.

Because if the secret guard appeared quickly, he might not be as fast as Zhao Qiang.

Because Wu Guotai's interests were involved, he couldn't gamble at all.

At this moment, Xi Yu thought of a question, so he immediately walked out.

Zhao Qiang shouted loudly: "Xi Yu, don't you care about your mother-in-law's life or death?"
Xi Yu turned around and said, "I want to take a pee, isn't that okay?"

After that, Xi Yu went to a toilet in the corner and summoned the secret guards.

The secret guard said: "Prime Minister, when will you act?"

"You can't act rashly. I can't make fun of Wu Guotai's life."

The secret guard was very anxious.

"Then Prime Minister, what should we do? Are we going to fall into passivity like this?"

Xi Yu's face was covered in sweat, and he didn't know what to do.

The secret guard said that his ability is very strong.

Let Xi Yu talk randomly to Zhao Qiang next to disturb his mind, and then he will think of a way to take action.

Xi Yu thought to himself, this is the only way.

In fact, Xi Yu regretted it very much. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have appeared directly when he came in.

The secret guards should have taken advantage of Zhao Qiang to take care of him before he threatened Wu Guotai.

But I was very anxious at that time, so I walked in quickly without thinking about the consequences.

Now it seems that this is the only way to do it.

So after a while, Xiyu finished using the toilet and came to the ruined temple.

Zhao Qiang said: "Do you have anything else to do now? Let's start the timer."

Xiyu nodded.

"Then I'll start shouting now."

Zhao Qiang was very proud and started shouting.

Xi Yu's solution was to talk to him quickly, so he said, "Wait a minute."

Zhao Qiang said: "Why are you acting like a mother-in-law? What do you mean? If that's the case, then kneel down quickly."

"I want to ask, Liu Long actually just wants to get benefits. Now that I am the prime minister, I can promise him some benefits, so I want to know what he needs."

Zhao Qiang sneered: "What do you think my boss needs? Of course he needs the throne. Can you give it to him?"

"If I tell you why you are like this, then our conversation will be useless."

"Bastard, when did I say I wanted to talk to you?"

"Everything is discussed. Even if you kill me today, what good will it do? Do you think your master can win the country?"

At this moment, Zhao Qiang frowned.

What Xi Yu said seems to make sense.

But then again, so what?
Since I can't be the boss of my boss, I will do whatever the boss asks me to do.

"Xi Yu, please stop talking nonsense to me here. It's of no use at all."

"I originally wanted to promise you some benefits, but it's a pity that I didn't expect it. In this case, there is really nothing I can do."

At this moment, the secret guard took action quickly.

He threw a dart from a distance and hit Zhao Qiang's arm.

Zhao Qiang'a yelled and immediately let go of his hand.

And Xi Yu quickly rushed over and hugged Wu Guotai.

Then, the two people's bodies rolled to the side.

At this time, the secret guard, like a ghost, immediately came to Zhao Qiang and pinched his neck.

Zhao Qiang cursed loudly.

"Xi Yu, you bastard. You didn't follow what I said in my letter. Why did you bring someone here?"

"What a joke, why should I listen to your request? Who do you think you are?"

The secret guard immediately beat Zhao Qiang severely.

Wu Guotai finally breathed a sigh of relief. She grabbed Xi Yu's arm tightly, trembling all over. (End of chapter)
