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

The village head walked to the door with an angry look on his face, and his eyes fell directly on Xi Yu and the other two.

When he saw Wang Xiaoer, the anger on his face soared instantly, as if it was about to erupt into flames.

Then, he glanced at the other two people and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Are these two the couple? They don't look like decent people."

The head of the village frowned even more tightly, and a feeling of dissatisfaction and irritation surged in his heart.

Wang Xiaoer quickly whispered to Xi Yu, "This is the head of the village." His voice trembled slightly, revealing a hint of timidity.

At this time, Xi Yu, with a smile on his face, looked at the head of the village calmly and said softly, "Sir Head of the Village, we have something to ask you." His voice was gentle and firm, without the slightest fear.

The head of the village frowned and said impatiently: "If you have something to say, just tell me quickly! I don't have time to waste with you." His eyes revealed his distrust of Xi Yu.

Xi Yu looked directly at the head of the village with a firm and questioning look in his eyes. He asked bluntly, "Head of the village, what is going on with the bridge repair? Why are some people cutting corners? What is going on? Could it be that you embezzled the money?"

His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable momentum.

After hearing what Xi Yu said, the head of the village suddenly became gloomy. He glared at Xi Yu and shouted angrily: "What are you talking about! I have always been honest and upright, how could I do such a thing!"

His hands were clenched into fists, trembling slightly, and he was obviously angered by Xi Yu's words.

Xi Yu was unmoved. He still looked at the head of the village calmly and said calmly, "Why did this happen? You have to give everyone an explanation."

The village head frowned even more tightly. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said, "I am also investigating this matter, and I will definitely give everyone a satisfactory answer."

Then, the village head opened his eyes wide and asked in a stiff tone: "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to question this?" His voice was full of majesty and questioning.

Xi Yu did not back down. He straightened his body, looked at the head of the village with firm eyes, and answered loudly: "I am a person who upholds justice. I have the right to know the truth of the matter!" His voice was sonorous and powerful, with a sense of firmness and justice.

The village head looked Xi Yu up and down, with a hint of doubt and disdain in his eyes, "You? What evidence do you have to prove that I embezzled the money for bridge construction?" His tone was full of doubt.

Xiyu sneered.

"Although I don't have direct evidence, building the bridge concerns the interests of each of us, and we have the right to know the whole story!" His eyes revealed his indomitable spirit and persistence.

After hearing what Xi Yu said, the village chief's face became even uglier. He raised his voice and said, "Humph! Just based on a few words from you, you want to slander me at will? Do you think I'm a village chief for nothing?"

His chest heaved violently, obviously irritated by Xi Yu's questioning.

Xi Yu said calmly, "Mr. Lizheng, I don't mean to slander you. I just want to clarify the bridge repair matter. This bridge is related to the safety of the village, and we can't be careless at all."

His tone was firm and steady, which made people trust him more.

The head of the village looked at Xiyu and was somewhat surprised. He did not expect Xiyu to have such a firm attitude.

Wang Xiaoer was watching from the side, secretly worried for Xi Yu.

The head of the village looked at Xi Yu with cold eyes and said viciously: "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business! This is our village's business, and it is not the turn of an outsider like you to interfere!" There was a hint of threat in his voice.

Xi Yu straightened up, looked the headman in the eyes without fear, and replied calmly: "Although I am not from this village, I can't just watch you do this!" His tone was firm and he didn't back down at all.

The head of the village frowned, a ferocious expression appeared on his face, and he shouted angrily: "Humph! You dare to go against me? Believe it or not, I will have someone arrest you!"

Xi Yu sneered and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of you? I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!" His eyes were full of determination.

The head of the village gnashed his teeth in anger, pointed at Xi Yu and said, "Just wait and see!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

Wang Xiaoer looked at Xi Yu anxiously and asked with a trembling voice: "What should we do? The village head...he will definitely not let it go." His eyes were full of worry and fear.

Xi Yu patted Wang Xiaoer on the shoulder and calmly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Wang Xiaoer. We did nothing wrong. There is no need to be afraid of his threats."

Wang Xiaoer nodded, but still said with some concern: "But the head of the village is very powerful in this village. How can we fight against him?"

Xi Yu smiled slightly and comforted him: "Don't worry, we will find evidence and make the truth known."

Tuoba Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm, and looked at Wang Xiaoer and said, "Hey, Wang Xiaoer, what's going on? When you were provoking trouble, you were very brave, why are you scared now?"

His eyes were full of disdain and ridicule.

Wang Xiaoer blushed after hearing what Tuoba Yu said. He smiled a little embarrassedly, scratched his head, and murmured, "I...I was just impulsive."

His voice was low and a little ashamed.

Tuoba Yu sneered and said, "Impulsive? You know, this matter is not that simple."

Wang Xiaoer raised his head and looked at Tuoba Yu, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and said: "I know, I will face it with you."

The village head walked into a room with a gloomy face and angry gleams in his eyes.

There were several people playing chess here. They sat around a shabby wooden table, staring at the chessboard intently.

These men were all the village head's confidants. One of them was a burly man with a face full of flesh. When he played chess, his thick fingers tightly grasped the chess pieces, as if he was in control of the whole situation.

The other one was tall and thin, with a stern face and sharp eyes, and every move he made was made with decisiveness and resolution.

There is also a man of medium build who looks quite shrewd. There is always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, making it difficult to guess what he is thinking.

Seeing this, several people who were playing chess stopped what they were doing and came forward.

The head of the village gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "That Wang Xiaoer is so ignorant that he dared to offend me! I decided to teach him a lesson. Go and capture his mother for me now." There was a hint of coldness and determination in his voice.

The men looked at each other, and one of them nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Lizheng, we'll do it right away."

The other person had a fierce look on his face and said viciously: "Humph, this kid really doesn't know how to live or die. He actually dared to provoke the head of the village."

After saying this, they hurried away to carry out the orders of the village head.

In the somewhat dim room, Wang was sitting quietly at the table doing needlework. The sunlight shone through the window sill onto her body, casting a faint shadow.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, followed by a "bang", and several people rushed in without any warning.

Wang was so frightened by the sudden noise that her whole body trembled and the needle and thread in her hand almost fell. She widened her eyes and her face was full of shock.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?" Wang asked in a trembling voice, her eyes full of fear.

One of them frowned and said impatiently: "Come with us!"

When Wang heard this, she became even more panicked.

"Go? Where to? Why?"

The man snorted coldly and said, "Your son Wang Xiaoer has offended the head of the village, and now the head of the village wants to see you."

Hearing this, Wang's face turned pale instantly, and tears could not stop flowing down. She cried and murmured to herself: "I told him not to meddle in other people's business, but he didn't listen. What should I do now..."

Her shoulders were trembling slightly, her face was full of pain and helplessness, and her eyes revealed deep worry and anxiety.

Those people didn't care about that and stepped forward to pull Wang away.

"Stop dawdling and get going!"

Wang stood up staggeringly, and with tears on her face, she was dragged out by them, still repeating her son's name...

Wang was taken to a dark room by those men, and then the door was slammed shut with a bang.

Wang slammed the door in fear and cried, "Let me out! Lizheng Sir, please, I really know I was wrong, I will definitely ask the waiter to apologize to you, please let me out!"

Her voice, filled with despair and fear, echoed in the small space.

However, there was no response from outside the door. Her plea for mercy was like a stone falling into the sea, without causing any ripples.

Wang leaned against the door weakly and sat on the ground, tears flowing freely, still mumbling: "Xiaoer, what should I do, please don't get into trouble..."

She felt extremely helpless and lonely in this dark room. Time seemed to be extremely long and every minute and every second was tormenting for her.

But no matter how she cried and begged for mercy, there was never a glimmer of hope.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang sat there with a dull look in her eyes, as if she had lost all her energy. She only kept repeating her son's name from time to time, her heart filled with worry and pain.

Xi Yu hurried to a secluded corner.

He unbuckled his belt and began to pee, letting out a soft sigh of relief.

Afterwards, he suddenly frowned, as if he remembered something important.

He looked around anxiously, then lowered his voice and shouted, "Where is the secret guard?"

Almost instantly, a dark figure flashed out from the darkness, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Your subordinate is here."

Xi Yu had a serious face, with worry in his eyes, and said anxiously: "It suddenly occurred to me that there is a narrow-minded person there who might do something to Wang Xiaoer's mother. You should go to Wang Xiaoer's house quickly now and make sure to protect his mother's safety!"

The secret guard immediately responded, "Yes, I obey your command!" and prepared to fly away.

Xi Yu quickly added: "Don't take it lightly. If anything goes wrong, you will be held accountable!" His expression was very solemn and he stared at the secret guard closely.

The secret guard nodded heavily, then disappeared into the darkness in a flash.

Xi Yu stood there, his brows still furrowed, praying silently in his heart that everything would be safe and sound.

The secret guard sneaked into the Wang family like a ghost, but the house was empty.

His brows knitted tightly together, and he thought to himself, "Oh no! Wang is not here. I'm afraid something has really happened."

He walked quickly around the room, searching carefully for any possible clues, his face terribly gloomy.

"How could this happen? Am I still a step too late?" He whispered to himself, his eyes full of regret and worry.

He gritted his teeth and silently blamed himself for not getting there faster.

Afterwards, he flashed and quickly left Wang's house, deciding to look around to see if he could find any trace of Wang or other clues, silently praying in his heart that Wang would not encounter any accident.

His figure shuttled through the darkness, full of anxiety and eagerness, to pursue Wang who might have been in danger.

The secret guard used his lightness skills and came to Xiyu's side as quickly as the wind.

His sudden appearance really frightened the unsuspecting Wang Xiaoer. Wang Xiaoer's eyes widened in horror and his body unconsciously took a few steps back.

Seeing this, Xi Yu hurriedly said to the secret guard: "Hurry, go to the corner over there and talk." The secret guard nodded and immediately moved to the designated corner.

Xi Yu also walked over quickly and asked anxiously: "How is it? Have you found Wang?"

The secret guard shook his head solemnly.

"When I arrived at Wang's house, Wang was no longer in the house. I'm afraid she is in danger."

Xi Yu's expression instantly turned ugly. He clenched his fists and said after thinking for a moment, "Look for her carefully again. We must find her whereabouts."

The secret guard responded and disappeared into the darkness again.

Xi Yu stood there, brows furrowed, his heart full of worry and uneasiness.

Xi Yu slowly returned to his original place, and Wang Xiaoer hurriedly stepped forward with a nervous look on his face and asked, "Young Master, what happened to that man just now?" His eyes were full of curiosity and a hint of fear.

Xi Yu smiled slightly and said with a relaxed look: "Oh, they are my men."

When Wang Xiaoer heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Wow, that's how it is! He came and went without a trace just now, he must be very powerful!" Wang Xiaoer said excitedly, gesturing with his hands in the air.

Xi Yu looked at him, smiled and nodded.

"Well, he is really good at it."

Wang Xiaoer became even happier, dancing with joy and saying, "Haha, it looks like dealing with the village head will be a piece of cake! Now we don't have to be afraid of that damn village head!"

His face was filled with anticipation and joy, as if he had already seen the scene after the village head was punished.

Xi Yu looked at Wang Xiaoer's excitement, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a smile: "Don't be too happy too soon, things are not that simple yet."

When Wang Xiaoer heard this, the smile on his face froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and said nonchalantly, "Hey, with such powerful subordinates like you, are you still afraid of that little village head?"

As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, as if he felt that everything was already under control.

Xi Yu shook his head and his expression became a little serious.

"Although the village head is only a small local official, he has been running this place for many years and has complicated relationships. We should not take it lightly."

After hearing this, Wang Xiaoer gradually stopped smiling and nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, you are right, sir. I thought it was too simple."

But then he looked at Xi Yu with shining eyes again.

"However, with you and your men here, we definitely still have a great advantage."

Xi Yu looked at Wang Xiaoer's expectant eyes and smiled.

"Well, we will naturally try our best, but we still have to proceed with caution."

After saying that, Xi Yu fell into deep thought, and began to think about the next plan and countermeasures.

Wang Xiaoer stood aside, frowning and nodding from time to time, as if he was secretly planning something in his mind.

Just then, a scoundrel with shifty eyes came staggering over.

With a malicious smile on his face, he said to Wang Xiaoer in a sarcastic tone: "Wang Xiaoer, your mother has been arrested by the head of the village!"

When Wang Xiaoer heard this, his eyes widened, his face was full of shock, and his mouth slightly opened.

"What did you say? My mother was arrested by the head of the village?"

The second-rate guy chuckled and nodded, saying, "That's right, the head of the village asked you to find him under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village!"

Wang Xiaoer's face turned pale instantly, and his body trembled slightly, "How could this happen..."

His eyes were full of panic and helplessness.

Xi Yu's face also darkened, and he stared at the second-rate guy sharply, as if trying to find out something from his expression.

The second-rate guy didn't care about Xiyu's gaze at all and still looked at Wang Xiaoer smugly.

"Hmph, hurry up, you don't know what will happen if you go too late."

After saying this, he let out a disgusting laugh.

Wang Xiaoer gritted his teeth, his fists clenched so tightly that they made a clattering sound. He was angry and anxious, not knowing what to do.

Xi Yu quickly stepped forward, put his hands on Wang Xiaoer's shoulders, looked at him firmly, and said, "Xiaoer, don't be anxious yet."

Wang Xiaoer's face was filled with anxiety and worry, tears flashing in his eyes, and he said anxiously: "Master, my mother has been arrested, how can I not be anxious!"

"Don't panic, we will go through it together with you and won't let you face it alone."

Tuoba Yu also stepped forward and said seriously, "Yes, Wang Xiaoer, we will help you, don't be afraid."

After hearing what they said, Wang Xiaoer calmed down a little, but his face was still full of nervousness. He bit his lip and said, "Okay, let's go over there quickly."

Xiyu nodded, and the three of them walked towards the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

Erliuzi looked at Xiyu and the others and said with a mocking smile, "Oh, you brought helpers with you. I think you are doing more harm than good!"

He squinted his eyes with a look of disdain.

Xi Yu's face darkened, and just as he was about to speak, Tuoba Yu beside him was already furious. (End of this chapter)
