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

Tuoba Yu widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief, and couldn't help but complain softly: "Oh, you are kidding!" But looking at Xi Yu's calm appearance, he could only sigh helplessly.

In the dark and damp cell, Tuoba Yu curled up in a corner, looking a little flustered.

A jailer walked to Tuoba Yu's cell unsteadily, looked her up and down with a pair of cunning eyes, and said with a malicious smile, "Hey, little beauty, you are really beautiful."

Tuoba Yu raised his head, his eyes full of fear and disgust, and he bit his lips tightly.

"Don't come here!"

The jailer paid no attention to her warning, but became even more presumptuous, grinning and saying, "If you listen to me, I can make you suffer less, hehe."

As he said this, he reached his hand into the cell and tried to touch Tuoba Yu's face.

Tuoba Yu tried desperately to hide back, his voice trembling.

"Go away! You bastard!"

The jailer was not relenting and continued to say with a playful smile: "Don't be so fierce, beauty. As long as you obey me, I promise to make your life more comfortable in this cell in the future."

Tuoba Yu glared at the jailer and said through gritted teeth: "I warn you, if you provoke me, the consequences will be disastrous. I hope you can think it through."

But the jailer was so bold that he not only refused to listen, but also boldly opened the cell door and entered the cell, stretching out his dirty hand to touch Tuoba Yu's face.

However, Tuoba Yu was quick-witted and grabbed his hand in an instant. She held the jailer's wrist tightly, her eyes full of coldness.

"Hmph, you are such a fool, do you really think I'm easy to bully?" Tuoba Yu said coldly, and then exerted force on his hand.

The jailer then realized that Tuoba Yu knew Kung Fu. His face turned pale instantly and he tried to break free but was unable to.

"Ouch, ouch!" The jailer screamed in pain, and the cry soon attracted other jailers to come over.

Tuoba Yu let go of the jailer's hand, stood up, glanced at the jailers who had gathered around him, and said sternly: "All of you get out, or I'll kill this jailer!"

The jailers looked at each other, and seeing Tuoba Yu's ferocious appearance, they were a little afraid for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, they hurriedly left the cell.

Xi Yu, who was in another cell, naturally also heard the miserable screams. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

He thought to himself, "Humph, this jailer deserves it. He even dared to tease Tuoba Yu. He really doesn't know his place. Isn't this courting death? Tuoba Yu is not someone you can easily mess with. He's going to get into trouble now."

Xi Yu shook his head, his face full of sarcasm.

He leaned against the wall of the cell, listening to the gradual quieting down outside. He sneered at the foolish behavior of the jailer, but at the same time he also felt a little admiration for Tuoba Yu's decisiveness and sense of self-interest.

After all, in such a harsh environment, it is not something that an ordinary woman can do to deal with those with evil intentions so courageously.

The jailer curled up on the ground, his face full of fear and pain, and kept begging for mercy: "Auntie, please forgive me, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me!"

Tuoba Yu's eyes were cold, without any mercy, and he snorted coldly: "Let me forgive you? You wish! You must pay the price for your actions!"

After saying this, Tuoba Yu did not give the jailer any chance to breathe and continued to beat and kick him.

The jailer had no power to fight back under Tuoba Yu's attack and could only scream.

After a while, the jailer fell heavily to the ground like a dead dog.

Tuoba Yu clapped his hands, looked at the jailer lying on the ground, and said coldly: "Humph, don't even think about moving around in the next few days. This is the price you deserve. I'm already merciful by not killing you!"

The jailer's face was covered with bruises and blood was hanging from the corners of his mouth. He could only groan to express his pain and regret.

The jailers stood outside the prison, their faces filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"What on earth is going on? That scream just now..." said a jailer with a frown.

"Yeah, I'm wondering too. This woman is so powerful. We really underestimated her before." Another jailer echoed, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Who would have thought that such a delicate and weak woman could be so cruel when she attacked?"

"Oh, we have to be careful next time and don't provoke her again, otherwise we will be the ones in trouble."

"Yes, yes, yes, you should stay away from her. I can't believe it..."

As they talked in low voices, they looked in the direction of the cell where Tuoba Yu was with lingering fear, as if the person imprisoned there was not a human being, but a ferocious beast that could pounce out and hurt people at any time.

But Xi Yu, who was in the cell, suddenly became quiet at this moment.

He leaned against the wall of the cell, his eyes slightly dazed, his thoughts drifting away.

He once again recalled the days when he worked with Cao Cao, those years of war, war and deception.

Cao Pi's gloomy face flashed through his mind, as well as Yuan Shao, the once invincible overlord, and Yuan Shu, and all the past events between them flooded into his mind like a tide.

Xi Yu's eyes became a little blurry, as if he was immersed in memories. These people and things kept interweaving and emerging in front of his eyes, making him feel that everything he was experiencing was like an illusory dream.

In this dark cell, he seemed to reconnect with the past. The people and scenes in his memory were so clear, yet with a hint of unspeakable melancholy and emotion.

On the other side, Ouyang Linlin sat at the table, her brows furrowed, one hand unconsciously twisting the corner of her clothes, her face full of worry.

"Xiaohong, I feel so uneasy. Is there anything wrong with my husband?"

Xiaohong, who was standing by, quickly stepped forward, gently held Ouyang Linlin's hand, and smiled and comforted her: "Oh, Miss, don't think too much, it must be your imagination. Master Xiyu is so powerful, how could he get into trouble so easily."

Ouyang Linlin bit her lip, still a little worried, "But I just can't calm down. I always feel like something bad is going to happen."

Her eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness.

Xiao Hong said patiently: "Miss, you care too much about Master Xiyu, so you are so suspicious. Maybe Master Xiyu is fine now, so don't scare yourself."

As she spoke, Xiaohong winked at Ouyang Linlin mischievously.

Ouyang Linlin sighed and forced a smile, "Maybe I'm really overthinking it." But there was still a hint of worry in her eyes.

Ouyang Linlin stood in the courtyard of the temple, looking at the soldiers around her, her brows slightly furrowed, with a hint of uneasiness on her face.

At this time, a monk walked past them, looking calm, as if nothing had happened, and was sweeping the ground with a broom in his hand.

Ouyang Linlin couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Master, it's like this outside, how can you still live your daily life so calmly?"

The monk smiled slightly, put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, donor, everything in the world has a destiny, we just need to keep a normal mind." After that, he continued to clean up on his own.

Ouyang Linlin looked at the monk's receding back, thinking about something, then she sighed and said to Xiaohong: "Forget it, then we'll just have to live here peacefully."

There was a hint of helplessness in her eyes, but she gradually calmed down.

Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong returned to the room and sat opposite each other.

Ouyang Linlin gently held her chin, with a little thought in her eyes, and said: "Xiaohong, how long do you think we will stay here?"

Xiao Hong shook her head and replied, "Miss, I don't know either, but looking at the current situation, I don't think I can leave for a while."

Ouyang Linlin sighed slightly, "Alas, I don't know how my husband is doing now. I am always worried."

Her brows unconsciously frowned again, and her face was full of worry.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Come in." Ouyang Linlin called out. A young monk pushed the door open and came in, clasping his hands together and saying, "Lady donor, the vegetarian meal is ready. Please go to the dining hall and have your meal."

Ouyang Linlin nodded, stood up, and said to Xiaohong: "Let's go, let's go eat first. No matter what, life still has to go on."

She tried hard to force a smile, and she and Xiaohong followed the little monk to the dining hall.

Along the way, Ouyang Linlin seemed to be a little worried, but she still tried her best to remain calm on the surface.

In the dining hall, Ouyang Linlin ate her meal in silence, occasionally looking around at the monks who were still living their peaceful lives, and couldn't help but sigh at their indifference and detachment.

She secretly thought that perhaps she should also learn to be like them and remain calm and composed in difficult situations.

Recently, they have been eating together as a group instead of having the food delivered to the rooms.

Just at this time, Song Shuwen also came over to eat.

Song Shuwen sat at the table, his brows furrowed, his face full of sorrow, and one hand tapping the table unconsciously.

Ouyang Linlin walked lightly to his side and asked softly, "Husband, why are you so worried?" Her eyes were full of concern, and she tilted her head slightly to look at Song Shuwen.

Song Shuwen sighed, frowned even more tightly, and said in a worried tone: "The Prime Minister has been away for several days. I have been feeling very nervous and don't know what is going on." His eyes were full of worry and uneasiness.

Ouyang Linlin stretched out her hand and gently placed it on Song Shuwen's shoulder. With a gentle smile on her face, she comforted him softly, "Doctor Song, don't worry too much. Nothing will happen."

Her eyes were firm and bright, as if conveying confidence to Song Shuwen.

On the other side, where Xi Yu was, the county magistrate hung his head with a bitter look on his face. He was grabbed by the arm by the aggressive wife of the county magistrate and staggered all the way back to the backyard.

As soon as they entered the backyard, the county magistrate's wife raised her eyebrows, her face was full of anger, and she started to beat and kick the county magistrate without saying a word. While beating him, she cursed: "You useless thing!"

The county magistrate was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands and begged for mercy in panic, "Oh, madam, please be gentle, I am wrong, I am wrong, can't I say that! I beg you, no matter what I do in the future, can you please not insult me ​​or beat me in public?"

His face was full of fear and helplessness, and his eyes looked at the county magistrate's wife pitifully.

When the county magistrate's wife heard this, she became even more furious. She stopped what she was doing, put her hands on her hips, glared at the county magistrate, and shouted, "Do you still want to save face when you are like this? Look at what good things you have done today!"

Her eyes seemed to be able to spit fire, and her chest was heaving violently.

The county magistrate's wife turned around, her eyes wide open, staring at the county magistrate, and asked sternly: "Tell me! Where did you go last night? Don't lie to me!" She put her hands on her hips, looking aggressive.

The county magistrate avoided looking at his wife, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally stammered, "I...I went gambling with someone else last night."

After saying that, he lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake and was waiting for punishment.

When the county magistrate's wife heard this, she was immediately furious and trembling with anger. She rushed up to the county magistrate again and beat and scolded him: "You good-for-nothing! You actually went to gamble again! You are really a dog that can't change its nature!"

While cursing, she kept hitting the county magistrate with her hands, and she was so angry that tears were about to come out.

The county magistrate was beaten so hard that he begged for mercy again and again: "Madam, I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never do it again!" But the county magistrate's wife ignored his pleas for mercy and continued to beat and scold him. Her angry rebukes and the county magistrate's pleas for mercy echoed in the yard.

The county magistrate shrank his neck and said with a wronged look on his face: "Madam, I was just confused for a moment. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time."

His eyes were full of pleading, and he looked like a child who had done something wrong begging for forgiveness.

The county magistrate's wife snorted coldly and said with some anger left: "Let you go? You made me lose face in front of so many people, and you still want me to let you go? No way!" As she said that, she raised her hand again as if to hit me.

The county magistrate quickly stepped back and said in a tearful voice, "Stop hitting me, Madam. I promise I will never do it again. I will listen to you and do my job well, okay?"

His face was full of flattering smiles and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The county magistrate's wife looked at his cowardly appearance, feeling both angry and amused. She gritted her teeth and said, "You'd better keep your word. If you do this again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

After saying that, he angrily threw his sleeves and turned away. The county magistrate finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and muttered, "Oh, it's finally over."

Then he stood there dejectedly, with a look of helplessness and regret on his face.

The jailer who had teased Tuoba Yu was still lying there, groaning and looking extremely embarrassed.

At this time, several other jailers came to Xiyu's cell with food.

As they handed the food into the cell, they asked tentatively in a low voice: "Hey, will the jailer who got beaten be in danger in the future? Why is his wife so powerful?" Their faces were full of curiosity and worry.

However, Xi Yu just glanced at them coldly, ignored them and completely ignored their questions.

Xi Yu was indeed feeling a little hungry at the moment, so he picked up the food and started eating, ignoring the words of the jailers.

Seeing this, the jailers could only shake their heads helplessly, and then carried the food to Tuoba Yu's cell.

They handed the food to Tuoba Yu and asked the same questions as they asked Xi Yu.

"Ma'am, will this jailer be in danger in the future? How come you are so powerful?"

Tuoba Yu also said nothing, just looked at them coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

The jailers were so annoyed that they had to leave the cell block in embarrassment.

Tuoba Yu looked at the food in front of her and her stomach was indeed growling with hunger. She frowned but decided to eat first.

She picked up the food and checked it carefully like a cautious little animal. After making sure it was not poisonous, she began to eat it in small bites.

As soon as she took a bite, her facial features wrinkled together, her face showed disgust, and she shouted loudly to Xi Yu: "Hey, husband, is this food delicious?"

Her eyes were wide and complaining.

Xi Yu was eating his portion leisurely. When he heard Tuoba Yu's call, he responded without raising his head: "We are not here to enjoy ourselves. Why bother about so many things?" His expression was very calm, as if he was used to all this.

When Tuoba Yu heard this, he was immediately annoyed. He threw his chopsticks on the table and said angrily: "Then tell me, when are you going to reveal your identity? You can't keep doing this!"

She pouted, looking unwilling, and stared at Xi Yu closely.

Xi Yu then slowly raised his head, glanced at Tuoba Yu, and said slowly: "Don't worry, the time is not right yet."

His eyes revealed a kind of certainty and calmness.

Tuoba Yu folded her hands across her chest, frowned tightly, and said with an annoyed look: "Oh, it's so annoying!" She shook her head, her face full of helplessness.

Then she looked at Xi Yu who was still calm and composed not far away, and couldn't help but widen her eyes and raised her voice and said: "Look at you, we are obviously here to go to jail!" Her eyes were full of disbelief, and she pointed at the surrounding environment as she spoke.

Xi Yu, however, pretended not to hear anything and continued to sit there leisurely, even with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He responded indifferently: "So what if I go to jail?"

His eyes were calm and composed, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Tuoba Yu was about to go crazy, stamped his feet, and said angrily: "But look at you, you don't look like you're in prison, you look like you're just a guest!"

Her face was full of disbelief and depression, and her eyes were fixed on Xi Yu, as if she wanted to see something different on his face.

After hearing Tuoba Yu's words, Xi Yu was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head and burst into a hearty laugh.

"Hahahaha... You can't be so impatient. You have to learn to be calm. If you get impatient and irritable when encountering something, how can you accomplish anything great?"

His eyes were full of seriousness and expectation, as if he was teaching a junior. (End of this chapter)
