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

The soldier frowned and said impatiently: "What are you waiting for! Prepare some hot food for us!"

The waiter nodded and bowed quickly, and replied in a trembling voice: "Okay...Okay, I'll go right away, please wait a moment, General."

After saying that, he ran to the kitchen, his steps were so hurried that he almost fell down.

After a while, Guan Yu ate and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Qiang and several soldiers walked slowly outside the inn. Zhao Qiang's face was pale, his brows were furrowed, his expression was particularly ugly, and his lips were trembling slightly.

A soldier consoled him, "Brother Zhao, don't be too scared. We are all still alive."

Zhao Qiang sighed, his voice trembling a little: "It was really dangerous today. I almost died there."

Another soldier echoed, "Yes, fortunately, we survived without any danger. We are lucky."

Zhao Qiang raised his head, looked at the night sky, and said with lingering fear: "I have to be more careful next time. We only have one life."

Several soldiers nodded, their expressions slightly solemn.

Next, Zhao Qiang gritted his teeth, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he said angrily: "I can't swallow this breath, things can't just let it go like this!"

Several soldiers followed Zhao Qiang farther and farther away, talking in low voices.

Zhao Qiang suddenly stopped and said viciously: "I want to take revenge on Guan Yu!"

When the soldiers heard this, they were all startled and looks of horror appeared on their faces.

One of the soldiers widened his eyes and said quickly: "Zhao Qiang, this can't be done. Guan Yu is not someone you can easily mess with!"

Zhao Qiang turned his head, stared at them, and said anxiously: "We are all good friends. Are you willing to help me?" His eyes were full of expectation and a hint of threat.

The soldiers looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

Zhao Qiang had a gloomy face and said to several soldiers: "If you don't consider me as your brothers, then tell Guan Yu this and just pretend that I didn't say it." There was a hint of determination and anger in his eyes.

Seeing this, several people hurried to comfort him. One of them said anxiously: "Brother Zhao, what are you talking about? How could we betray you?"

Another soldier echoed: "That's right, we are of the same mind."

At this time, another soldier said: "Guan Yu is really annoying. It would be nice to take revenge on him. Brother Zhao, what do you think?" His face was full of anticipation and eagerness.

Zhao Qiang looked around and said in a low voice: "This is what I think."

Soon, night came, and the inky sky was dotted with stars.

Zhao Qiang and several soldiers stood up quietly, their figures looking furtive in the dim moonlight.

Zhao Qiang's eyes were filled with nervousness and excitement. He lowered his voice and said, "Brothers, be careful and don't make any noise."

Several soldiers nodded, one of them tightened the weapon in his hand and responded in a low voice: "Don't worry, Brother Zhao."

They tiptoed towards the place where the treasure was stored, and the sound of their heartbeats seemed particularly clear in the silent night.

They carefully avoided the patrolling guards and took every step with extreme caution.

A soldier accidentally kicked a stone, which made a "gurgling" sound, and everyone's heart instantly rose to their throat.

Zhao Qiang quickly turned around, made a gesture to keep quiet, and whispered, "Be careful!"

The soldier nodded repeatedly with a guilty look on his face.

Finally, they arrived at the house where the treasure was stored. Zhao Qiang gently pushed the door and found that it was locked from the inside.

"What should we do?" a soldier asked anxiously.

Zhao Qiang frowned, thought for a moment and said, "See if there is a window to get in."

They successfully found an unlocked window and quietly climbed in through it.

In the darkness, they quickly found the treasure with the faint candlelight they had prepared in advance.

Several people were very excited and hurriedly put the treasure into the bags prepared in advance.

Zhao Qiang lowered his voice and urged: "Hurry up, don't dawdle!"

After packing up the treasure, they carefully returned the same way.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter too many obstacles along the way and they escaped from the camp smoothly.

Guan Yu and others had no idea that the treasure in the camp had been stolen.

The next morning, when the soldiers in charge of guarding the treasure found the house empty, they were immediately panicked.

"Oh no, Governor, the treasure is gone!" the soldier hurriedly reported to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he shouted angrily: "What? How could this happen? Send someone to investigate immediately!"

However, at this time, Zhao Qiang and the soldiers had already fled and their whereabouts were unknown.

The entire camp fell into tension and chaos.

Zhao Qiang and his companions ran all the way with the treasure and found a remote cave to hide temporarily.

"Haha, we made a lot of money this time!" a soldier said excitedly, his eyes full of greed.

Zhao Qiang frowned and said seriously, "Don't be too happy yet. Guan Yu will definitely not give up. We have to find a safer place as soon as possible."

"Brother Zhao, where are we going next?" asked another soldier.

Zhao Qiang pondered for a moment and said, "Go south. The terrain there is more complicated and it will be easier to evade capture."

So, after a short rest, they continued their escape with the treasure.

Along the way, they slept in the open air and did not dare to slack off. However, the weight of the treasure also made their journey very difficult.

"This stuff is too heavy, why don't we throw some of it away?" a soldier suggested.

Zhao Qiang glared at him and said, "No, we paid with our lives for this. We have to carry it with us no matter how hard or tiring it is."

After a while, Guan Yu realized that Zhao Qiang and others were missing.

His face instantly turned livid, his brows knitted, his eyes widened with anger, and he cursed fiercely: "Damn it! It seems that the loss of the treasure must be related to them. I should have killed Zhao Qiang yesterday. I didn't expect him to do such evil things."

The deputy general beside him said cautiously: "Calm down, Governor. The most urgent task now is to find their whereabouts as soon as possible and recover the treasure."

Guan Yu snorted coldly: "Pass my order, increase the search efforts, even if we have to turn this area of ​​100 miles upside down, we must find them for me!"

The deputy general clasped his fists and replied, "Yes, Governor!"

Guan Yu gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and said to himself: "Zhao Qiang, don't even think about escaping from my grasp!"

Guan Yu was furious and paced back and forth in the tent. "This Zhao Qiang, who usually looks honest, actually did such a treacherous thing!"

The counselor at the side stroked his beard and said, "Governor, don't be too angry, it will hurt your health. In my opinion, Zhao Qiang must have planned this in advance."

Guan Yu suddenly stopped and said with wide eyes: "I, Guan Yu, treated him well, but he repays my kindness with hatred!"

At this time, a soldier came to report: "Governor, we still haven't found any trace of the treasure."

Guan Yu waved his hand, "Keep looking! Send more people and expand the area!"

The soldiers were ordered to retreat.

The counselor pondered for a moment and said, "Governor, perhaps Zhao Qiang and his men have someone to contact us. We need to make a long-term plan."

Guan Yu's eyes were determined. "No matter what, I will bring them to justice and recover the treasure!"

On the other hand, Zhao Qiang and others were also worried on their way to escape.

"Zhao Qiang, do you think Guan Yu will let us go?" a soldier asked in panic.

Zhao Qiang's face was gloomy. "Don't worry about it. Let's escape first."

"But I've been scared all the way. I'm really scared..." The soldier's voice trembled.

"What are you afraid of! Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. As long as we can survive this disaster, we will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future!" Zhao Qiang roared.

Everyone remained silent and continued on their way.

Guan Yu did not find the treasure in the end. He was furious. His originally majestic red face turned purple because of anger.

He waved his arms in frustration and shouted, "Useless! A bunch of useless! You can't even find a single person!"

The soldiers around him lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

Guan Yu became angrier and angrier. He raised his hand and slapped himself hard several times. "Pa! Pa!" The crisp sound echoed in the air. His eyes were wide open, full of regret and anger: "I, Guan Yu, have made such a big mistake in my life! Now that the Prime Minister knows about this, won't he kill me?"

At this time, a deputy general stepped forward and said, "General, don't blame yourself so much. Let's think of a solution."

Guan Yu turned his head sharply and shouted angrily: "What else can we do? It was all because of my negligence that Zhao Qiang took advantage of the situation!"

The deputy general was so frightened that he took a few steps back and dared not say anything. Guan Yu paced back and forth, his heart filled with anxiety and fear.

Guan Yu frowned, took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said, "In that case, let's continue on our way! Don't tell anyone about the lost treasure yet."

His eyes swept across the crowd majestically, with unquestionable determination in them.

The soldiers responded in unison: "Yes, Governor!"

Guan Yu bit his lip and said to himself solemnly, "This matter is serious. I need to discuss with Brother Liu Bei how to resolve it."

He jumped on his horse, gripped the reins tightly, and said to his deputy, "Speed ​​up the journey, there must be no mistakes!"

The deputy general bowed and said, "As you command, Governor!"

Guan Yu flicked his whip and galloped forward, his horse's hooves raising clouds of dust.

Led by Guan Yu, the team continued on their journey, with the sound of horses' hooves hasty and raising dust all the way.

Guan Yu frowned and looked ahead firmly, his anxiety not diminished at all.

The deputy general beside him couldn't help but say: "Governor, the brothers have been in a panic all the way. The treasure..."

Guan Yu turned his head suddenly and glared at him: "Shut up! Don't mention this matter again. I will make a decision when I see my brother!"

The deputy general was so frightened by Guan Yu's momentum that he dared not say anything more.

The sun was blazing, and the team was moving forward with difficulty. Guan Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself: "Brother, I made a big mistake this time, I don't know what to do."

After traveling for several more days, they still had not reached Fangjun. When they set up camp at night, Guan Yu sat alone in his tent, the flickering candlelight illuminating his solemn face.

A trusted confidant walked into the tent and whispered, "Governor, the brothers are exhausted. I'm afraid we can't go any faster."

Guan Yu sighed and said, "I know that, but if the news of the treasure being lost gets out, the consequences will be disastrous."

The henchman nodded silently and stepped out.

Guan Yu looked at the starry sky outside the tent and murmured to himself: "Brother, I look forward to meeting you soon and giving me some advice."

Chen Shou's home.

The next day, a few scoundrels came here brazenly to collect debts.

As soon as they stepped into the yard, they saw Chen Shou sitting on a stone bench reading a book attentively.

The leading scoundrel tilted his head, squinted at Chen Shou, and shouted viciously: "Chen Shou, pay your debt quickly!"

Chen Shou said coldly: "You used special means to make father owe so much. You are just being unreasonable!" His eyes were full of anger and indomitable spirit.

When the scoundrels heard this, they became furious and started to curse.

"You little bastard, you dare to say that we are being unreasonable? Are you tired of living?" The leading scoundrel pointed at Chen Shou's nose, spitting everywhere.

"That's right, it's only natural to pay back debts! Don't try to get away with it today!" another scoundrel shouted at the top of his voice, the flesh on his face shaking constantly.

"You bunch of shameless people, don't think I don't know what you are doing!" Chen Shou clenched his fists and glared at them.

The scoundrels became even more arrogant, and all kinds of dirty words were heard everywhere.

"Hmph, boy, if you don't pay me back today, you'll be in trouble!"

"Why waste your time talking to him? Just move all the valuables out of his house!"

At this moment, Xiyu and Tuoba Yu walked out side by side.

Xi Yu frowned and asked loudly: "What are you doing?"

The rogues looked at them sideways, and one of them said arrogantly: "Boy, stop meddling in other people's business!"

Another rogue followed suit and shouted, "That's right, don't ask for trouble!"

Xi Yu sneered, took a step forward, and said, "In broad daylight, you are so rude, is there still any law?"

The scoundrels looked at each other, and the leader said viciously: "The law? Here, I am the law!"

Tuoba Yu stood beside Xi Yu, his face grim, and said, "Aren't you afraid of being punished for being so arrogant?"

The scoundrels burst into laughter: "Punishment? Haha, just because of you two young boys?"

Xi Yu looked at the leading scoundrel with a sharp gaze, and said firmly: "It is the duty of a debtor to pay it back, but it also requires justice. If you use unfair means to collect the debt, don't blame us for interfering."

The scoundrels were intimidated by Xi Yu's aura for a moment, but soon regained their arrogance.

"Huh, fairness? We have the final say here!" said a scoundrel, waving his fist.

Tuoba Yu snorted coldly: "Then let's wait and see, I want to see how long you can run rampant."

Seeing this, the scoundrels became even more angry and surrounded him, ready to take action.

Seeing that the scoundrels were still arrogant and unwilling to give up, Tuoba Yu snorted coldly, flashed his body, and took the initiative to face the scoundrels.

"You guys are asking for your own death. Today, I'll make you suffer!" Tuoba Yu shouted angrily, with a sharp light in his eyes.

The leading scoundrel waved his fist at Tuoba Yu, cursing: "If you dare to meddle in other people's business, I will beat you up!"

Tuoba Yu dodged easily by turning sideways, and with his backhand, he struck a palm as fast as lightning, directly hitting the scoundrel's chest. The scoundrel groaned and staggered back a few steps.

Seeing this, another scoundrel attacked from the side and kicked Tuoba Yu.

Tuoba Yu raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile. She suddenly raised her leg and arrived first, colliding heavily with the scoundrel's leg.

There was a loud "crack" and the scoundrel fell to the ground with a scream, rolling around in pain while holding his legs.

"Let's go together!" The rogues shouted and rushed forward. Tuoba Yu's figure was like a ghost, moving freely among the crowd.

She crossed her fists and palms, and each move was accompanied by a fierce gust of wind. As soon as a scoundrel approached, she kicked him away, hitting the wall and sliding down.

"Is that all you're capable of?" Tuoba Yu sneered, his eyes full of contempt.

The scoundrels became more and more frightened as they fought, for they discovered that Tuoba Yu in front of them was much stronger than they had imagined.

But at this point it was too late to back down, so I had to continue.

Tuoba Yu seized the opportunity and kicked several scoundrels to the ground with a roundhouse kick.

She then flew forward and struck out with both palms, beating the last two scoundrels so hard that they vomited blood and fell to the ground.

"Hmph, you don't know your own limitations!" Tuoba Yu dusted himself off and looked coldly at the rogues lying all over the ground.

This process made Chen Shou stunned. His mouth opened wide and his eyes were staring. He did not expect that although Tuoba Yu was just a woman, she was so powerful.

Chen Shou stood there in a daze, muttering to himself, "I originally thought that women were weak, but I never thought Miss Tuoba would have such skills. It's really amazing."

At this time, Tuoba Yu had dealt with the rogue, clapped his hands, turned around and looked at Chen Shou, only to see that Chen Shou was still in shock and had not yet come to his senses.

Tuoba Yu smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Chen, don't be so surprised. They are just some petty thieves. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Chen Shou finally woke up from his dream and said quickly, "Miss Tuoba is so brave. I admire you so much!"

Father Chen, who was in the room, was still worried about the situation outside. When he heard the noise outside becoming more and more intense, he became very nervous.

When he saw Tuoba Yu's heroic skills through the window, he was also stunned by the scene.

He was stunned for a moment, then immediately walked out, his face full of disbelief, muttering: "This... this girl is too amazing!"

Walking up to Tuoba Yu, Father Chen's voice trembled with excitement: "Girl, it's all thanks to you!"

Tuoba Yu raised her head slightly, and said with a bit of shyness and pride: "Old man Chen, please don't call me Miss anymore. After all, I am already someone's wife."

Father Chen was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized what was going on and said quickly, "Oh, look how confused I am."

Tuoba Yu crossed his arms, his eyebrows raised, staring at the men who had fallen to the ground with a sharp gaze, and asked sternly, "So, what else do you have to object to?"

The men were lying on the ground, their faces full of pain and sweat dripping down their foreheads.

The leading man gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and said weakly: "Madam, please spare our lives. We surrender and will never dare to do it again." (End of this chapter)
