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

Those who didn't believe him shook their heads, muttered something, and then slowly turned around and went home. Some people even looked back at Wang Xiaoer as they walked, their eyes still filled with suspicion and disdain.

Wang Xiaoer looked at their departing backs, bit his lip, and thought secretly in his heart: "When the thing really happens, let's see what you say." His face was full of stubbornness and unwillingness.

Wang Xiaoer returned home with an angry face and slammed the door.

Seeing this, Wang rushed over and asked anxiously, "Waiter, what's going on?"

Wang Xiaoer gritted his teeth, widened his eyes, and said indignantly: "Mom! Those hateful yamen runners are here!" His face turned red and veins bulged on his forehead.

"Ah? Why are the bailiffs here?" Wang opened her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of panic.

Wang Xiaoer clenched his fists, his body trembling with anger.

His eyes were burning with anger, as if he wanted to eat those yamen runners alive.

Wang's face turned pale in an instant, and her body began to shake.

"What should I do, Xiaowai..." Her lips trembled and her eyes were full of helplessness and fear.

Wang Xiaoer took a deep breath, walked to his mother Wang, gently held her hand, looked at her firmly, and said, "Mom, don't worry, I can see that those two people must have a way out. Let's just wait and see." His eyes revealed confidence and calmness, as if everything was under his control.

However, Wang still frowned and said worriedly, "Xiaoer, mother is still worried that there will be trouble again." Her eyes were full of anxiety and fear.

When Wang Xiaoer heard this, his eyes instantly became sharp, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Humph, if that's the case, don't worry, I'll beat him out!"

He clenched his fists tightly, his face full of determination.

After saying this, Wang Xiaoer strode outside, picked up the farm tools, and fiddled with them in the yard, as if preparing for a possible conflict.

Then he walked into the house again and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, I'm here." A smile appeared on his face that made Wang feel at ease.

Wang's face was still full of worry. She frowned, wrung her hands tightly together, and said to Wang Xiaoer in an anxious tone: "Xiaoer, mother is still unsure. Who are those two people?" Her eyes were full of confusion and uneasiness.

Wang Xiaoer frowned slightly, looked at his mother firmly, and said soothingly, "Mom, don't worry so much. I'm telling you, I'm definitely not mistaken. These two people must be important people."

His expression was very serious, and there was a thoughtful gleam in his eyes.

Wang was still a little skeptical. She bit her lip and said softly, "How can you be so sure, waiter? What if it's not true?" There was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Wang Xiaoer patted his chest confidently and raised his voice and said, "Mom, please believe me, my intuition is not wrong. Look at their behavior and demeanor, they are different from ordinary people."

His face was full of certainty.

Wang sighed, nodded helplessly, and said, "Well, okay, that's all we can do for now. I hope it's really as you said."

Her eyes were still somewhat uneasy, but she had no choice but to trust Wang Xiaoer's judgment.

The head of the village walked home angrily, muttering to himself, "Hmph, that brat Wang Xiaoer, I'll give him a good lesson when I get back!" His face was gloomy and his brows were tightly furrowed.

When he was almost at the door of his house, his foot suddenly slipped and he fell to the ground with a thump.

The village head grimaced in pain. He turned his head and saw that it was a watermelon rind. He was immediately furious.

"Who is so wicked as to throw watermelon rinds at my doorstep!" He cursed while rubbing his sore butt.

"Which bastard did this? Come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a few pieces of watermelon rind suddenly flew over from the darkness and hit him with a "pat pat" sound.

The head of the village was both shocked and angry.

"Oh! Who is it?"

Then, another small stone flew over and hit him squarely on the head. "Ah!"

The head of the village covered his head and jumped up angrily, "Who is it? Come out here if you're brave enough!" His face turned red and his eyes almost popped out.

But just as he finished cursing, his foot slipped and he fell to the ground again. "Ouch!" the village chief cried out in pain.

"What the hell is going on!" He struggled to get up, but found himself in a mess, covered in watermelon rinds and dust, looking very funny.

The village head struggled to get up from the ground. His face was red with anger and he kept cursing: "Who the hell, don't let me catch you, or you'll be in trouble!"

He cursed while shaking off the watermelon rinds and dust on his body, his eyes full of anger and annoyance.

At this moment, another piece of watermelon rind flew out from the corner and hit the headman directly in the face, and the sticky juice covered his face.

The head of the village was immediately furious. "Ahhh! I'm so angry!" He wiped his face randomly, looked around, and roared, "Get out here! Who do you think you are to hide your head and show your tail!"

Yet all was quiet, save for the echo of his anger.

The head of the village was so angry that he was shaking all over. He stamped his feet and continued to curse: "When I find out who it is, I will make him pay for it!"

As he spoke, he limped into the house, groaning with every step, obviously having fallen hard.

After entering the house, he sat down on a chair, gasping for breath, still thinking hatefully in his heart that he must find out who was doing the bad things behind the scenes.

In a corner, the villager who was secretly doing evil held his stomach and tried hard to hold back his laughter, but his body couldn't help shaking.

He muttered quietly, "Haha, I am dying of laughter. You usually act like a tyrant, and now you are suffering."

His face was full of gloating expression, and his eyes were narrowed into slits due to smiling.

Looking at the miserable state of the village head, he was filled with satisfaction. "Humph, you deserve this! Who told you to always do those wicked things?"

He gritted his teeth, with a hint of resentment on his face.

Then, he looked at the headman's house again, and after making sure that the headman had not noticed him, he slowly stood up, rubbed his stomach that was aching from laughing, and tiptoed out of the place.

As he walked, he muttered to himself: "Let's see if you dare to bully us again in the future. This time I'll teach you a lesson." There was still a smug smile on his lips, as if he had just done something very gratifying.

Xi Yu followed the yamen runners silently, but his thoughts gradually drifted away.

The days of war and battle when he followed Cao Cao seemed to emerge before his eyes. The shouts and the smoke seemed to still linger in his mind.

"Sigh..." Xi Yu sighed deeply in his heart. At that time, his mind was full of thoughts about how to win the war and how to occupy the Central Plains. Every moment was filled with tension and planning.

But now, everything has changed. Compared with that time, life now seems like a lifetime ago.

He looked at the people and scenery around him, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

"I once thought that by changing my lifestyle, I could stay away from the cruelty of war and bring peace to the people."

Xi Yu thought silently in his heart.

"But why is this world always so unpeaceful? Even though I have been away from the battlefield, the people are still living in pain. I once wanted to create a better life for them, but now, how much of what I have done can really change their fate?"

Xi Yu's heart was filled with helplessness and self-blame. He felt like a duckweed drifting in this chaotic world.

Although he had the intention to do good, he felt powerless. This feeling of powerlessness followed him like a shadow, making him feel even more depressed.

Xi Yu's steps became a little heavy. As he walked, he continued to sigh in his heart.

He thought of the soldiers and innocent civilians who died in the war. Their faces flashed through his mind one by one, making his heart clench even tighter.

"I have seen too much blood and death, and I thought I could stay away from it all, but why does suffering still follow me like a shadow?" Xi Yu couldn't help but ask himself.

His eyes became a little confused. Looking at the backs of the dentists in front of him, he seemed to see countless people struggling in life.

"I want to change all this, but how should I do it? My power is so small, how much can I contribute?" Xi Yu's heart was full of contradictions and struggles, and the uncertainty about the future made him feel helpless.

"But I can't give up. Even if I can only bring hope to a small number of people, it will be worth it."

Xi Yu gritted his teeth and encouraged himself secretly in his heart, "I must work harder to find ways to make the people live a good life. I must not let down my original intention."

Tuoba Yu saw Xiyu in a daze and asked him what he was thinking about.

Xi Yu shook his head and did not answer.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the county government office.

The county magistrate was sitting in the hall. He looked extremely ugly, with a black cloth covering his face.

His eyes were small, almost narrowed into slits, revealing a sinister light. He had a flat nose, thick lips, and a sparse beard on his chin.

The county magistrate was short in stature, but he looked a little funny in his loose official uniform.

Tuoba Yu and Xi Yu were brought to the hall, and the county magistrate looked at them with a stern gaze.

"Who is here? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?" The county magistrate's voice was low and hoarse.

Xi Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of disdain: "Humph, even if the two of us dare to kneel down, the county magistrate will not dare to accept it."

When the county magistrate heard this, his eyes widened and his face flushed with anger. He slammed the table and shouted, "How dare you be so arrogant! Do you think I dare not punish you?"

Xi Yu, however, remained calm, looking directly into the county magistrate's angry eyes, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Please calm down, sir. I am only telling the truth. Why should you be angry?"

The county magistrate was furious. He pointed at Xi Yu and his body trembled slightly. "How dare you, a lunatic, openly defy me? Today I will make you know how powerful I am!"

The county magistrate's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted angrily: "Come here, take this lunatic down and teach him a lesson!"

Several yamen runners heard the noise and rushed towards Xi Yu aggressively.

Xi Yu was not in a hurry, he raised his hand and said: "Wait!"

The county magistrate showed a sneer on his face and his eyes were full of mockery.

"What? Are you scared? Humph, if that's the case, kneel down and admit your mistake to me!"

Xi Yu looked calm, looked directly at the county magistrate, and said calmly: "Sir, I am giving you a friendly reminder. If these yamen runners beat me, they must be beheaded." There was confidence and determination in his eyes.

When the county magistrate heard this, he was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter, as if he had heard a huge joke.

"Hahahaha, you crazy bastard, how dare you speak nonsense and threaten me? Do you think I'm afraid of your words? Hit me!"

Xi Yu frowned slightly and his eyes became sharp.

"Sir, you have to think carefully. I am not speaking nonsense." His expression was serious, without any fear.

The county magistrate's face flushed red, veins popped out on his forehead, his teeth chattered, and he almost cursed: "You...you impudent thing!"

Tuoba Yu sneered and said, "What he said is absolutely right. I hope you can calm down and don't act impulsively!"

The county magistrate glared at Tuoba Yu fiercely, his chest heaving violently, breathing heavily, as if he was trying to suppress his anger. After a long while, he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Humph, I want to hear what he has to say!"

At this moment, a crazy shout suddenly came from the door. The sound was sharp and piercing, breaking the originally tense atmosphere.

"Ahhh..." When everyone heard the sound, they looked and saw a woman who looked like a fat pig, twisting her fat body and walking quickly inside.

Her face was full of flesh, she was panting, and the fat on her body kept shaking as she walked.

The county magistrate's originally angry face turned pale the moment he saw this woman, and his eyes were filled with fear, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

His lips trembled slightly, and he stammered, "Madam, why...why are you here?"

The yamen runners were all trying to hold back their laughter, their shoulders shaking constantly, with an expression of enjoying the show on their faces.

One of the bailiffs muttered quietly, "Hey, the county magistrate is going to be in trouble again."

Another bailiff suppressed his laughter and nodded in agreement, "Yes, who told him to be so afraid of the Madam?"

The county magistrate's wife was furious at this moment, with her hands on her hips, like a ferocious door god, and she shouted loudly: "You damned devil! What are you doing here again!"

The county magistrate's face was full of distress, his brows knitted tightly together, and he complained in his heart: "Oh, why is my wife always like this, always looking for trouble with me in public places, really not considering my face at all."

But he still quickly stood up and forced a flattering smile on his face.

The county magistrate's wife came to him like a gust of wind. Her fat hand twisted the county magistrate's ear, her eyes widened like copper bells, and she asked loudly, "Tell me! Where did you go last night?"

The county magistrate grimaced in pain, but he still smiled and said in a flattering manner, "Oh, madam, be gentle, please talk nicely."

Xiyu and Tuoba Yu looked at each other, both showing surprise and amusement in their eyes.

Xiyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and whispered to Tuoba Yu: "Hey, I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting scene."

Tuoba Yu couldn't help but chuckle, nodded, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, this is really beyond our expectations."

The two of them stood aside, watching the farce between the county magistrate and his wife with interest.

The county magistrate hurriedly smiled and explained anxiously: "Madam, I was really working last night. There are several yamen runners who can testify!" As he spoke, he signaled the yamen runners with his eyes.

When the county magistrate's wife heard this, she flew into a rage. She raised her hand and slapped the county magistrate several times, shouting, "Why are you doing this in the dark? You are clearly deceiving me!"

Her face turned red with anger and her eyes seemed to be spewing fire.

Upon seeing this, several yamen runners came out quickly to testify.

One of the yamen runners said quickly, "Madam, what the county magistrate said is indeed true. We were working with him last night."

The county magistrate's wife snorted coldly, her eyes swept over the yamen runners sharply, and said coldly: "Humph, you and the county magistrate are in the same boat, so you should speak in his favor."

There was a hint of disdain on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of suspicion and distrust.

The county magistrate looked aggrieved, covering his face and saying, "Madam, I am really wronged, they are telling the truth!"

"Shut up!" The county magistrate's wife shouted again. The county magistrate was so scared that he quickly shut his mouth, not daring to breathe.

The county magistrate's wife raised her eyebrows, pointed at the county magistrate and said angrily: "Go home immediately, and you must reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors. Kneel down in front of me!" She put her hands on her hips, looking arrogant.

The county magistrate looked embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Madam, I still have official business to attend to now."

After hearing this, the county magistrate's wife said nothing, but suddenly raised her hand and hit the county magistrate on the neck.

"Ouch!" The county magistrate screamed, covering his neck with a look of pain on his face.

"Hmph!" The county magistrate's wife snorted coldly.

The county magistrate had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, okay, I'll go home, I'll go home right away." Then he turned to the yamen runners and shouted, "Lock up these two men first!"

The bailiffs answered in unison, "Yes, sir!" and walked towards Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu.

Tuoba Yu frowned slightly, blinked quickly at Xi Yu, his eyes full of anxiety, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and show your identity!"

Xi Yu, however, looked relaxed, with a faint smile on his face. He shrugged and responded, "It doesn't matter. It's not bad to go to the prison to have some fun first."

His eyes revealed an indifferent attitude, and even a bit of curiosity and expectation. (End of this chapter)
