Xi Yu kicked Wang Henghua hard with all his strength, pushing him aside.

Wang Henghua fell to the ground in a mess, his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness. He endured the pain in his body and cursed: "You evil people, you will not have a good ending if you treat me like this! I will repay you double for today's humiliation!"

Xi Yu just frowned slightly, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes. He slowly walked to Wang Henghua, squatted down, and looked at him coldly: "What do you think your insults will do? It's just to make people laugh. If you still don't know how to restrain yourself, you will suffer in the future."

Wang Henghua felt a chill in his heart when he was stared at by his eyes, but he still stared at Xi Yu stubbornly, with his hands clenched into fists, as if he was gathering strength to prepare for another resistance.

Xi Yu then signaled the secret guards to control Wang Henghua. His eyes swept towards an empty house not far away and he coldly ordered that he be temporarily detained there.

The secret guards acted quickly, and like ghosts, they subdued the still struggling Wang Henghua and forcibly dragged him towards the house regardless of his shouting and cursing.

When Wang Henghua was about to start cursing again, a secret guard was quick to take out a piece of cloth and stuffed it directly into his mouth, blocking the endless stream of obscene words.

At this time, the surroundings became much quieter, with only the faint sound of Wang Henghua's struggle coming from the room.

Xi Yu's face was grim, and he announced loudly to the villagers: "Remove the checkpoints immediately. If you disobey, don't blame us for being ruthless."

The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment. Seeing that Wang Henghua had been firmly under control, although they were unwilling to accept it, they also knew that they were powerless to resist.

In desperation, they had to dismantle the checkpoints one after another. During this process, some people cursed in low voices from time to time, resenting this sudden change.

Originally, they could earn a lot of money by relying on Wang Henghua's employment, but now everything has come to nothing and their future livelihood has become unknown. This sense of loss and resentment has quietly spread among the crowd.

Xi Yu just watched coldly, and after the checkpoint was dismantled, he turned around with a hint of disdain.

Xi Yu looked solemn, and immediately ordered Luo Xiaoyu: "Ride your horse back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and bring Gan Mei here."

Luo Xiaoyu was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously asked: "Aren't we going to continue to Kunlun Mountain?"

Xi Yu shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "First, completely solve this troublesome matter in front of you, and then you can move forward with peace of mind, otherwise there will be troubles in the future."

After hearing this, Luo Xiaoyu responded with an "Ah", and then turned her gaze to Xiaohong.

Xi Yu said with a hint of confidence: "Don't worry, Xiao Hong is with me, nothing will go wrong."

Luo Xiaoyu climbed onto the horse, pulled the reins, and the horse neighed loudly. It carried him away in a cloud of dust and galloped towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, leaving only a gradually blurred figure behind.

Xiyu and Xiaohong turned around and went back to the farmhouse, deciding to wait there for Luo Xiaoyu's return.

The farmyard was still quiet as Xiyu sat on a simple wooden bench with a deep look in his eyes.

Luo Xiaoyu rode as fast as he could, galloping along the official road towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The wind whistled past his ears and his eyes were firm and bright.

Although he felt a little lost because of temporarily parting with Xiaohong, he felt a strong sense of mission and pride when he thought that he was carrying out an important task for the Prime Minister.

In his heart, the prime minister is like a god. It is the supreme honor to gain the prime minister's trust and work for him.

Even though he might encounter many unknowns and challenges ahead, he was not afraid. He only hoped to bring Gan Mei back safely, resolve the matter satisfactorily, and live up to the prime minister's trust.

The changes in Wangjiazhuang were like a gust of wind, quickly sparking a wave of heated discussion among the villagers.

Everyone knows that the checkpoints have been removed. The families of those who once made a living at the checkpoints are naturally filled with resentment and dissatisfaction. The pillars of the family have lost their livelihood, and the future seems to be shrouded in dark clouds and full of confusion.

However, for most ordinary villagers, this is undoubtedly good news that makes them applaud.

For a long time, they had been resentful of Wang Henghua's domineering behavior. Seeing outsiders being bullied for no reason, they were angry but dared not speak out.

Now that the checkpoints have been dismantled and Wang Henghua has been arrested, justice seems to have finally been served. A subtle, relaxed atmosphere permeates the village, as if it had been reborn.

On the streets and alleys, villagers were either chatting in low voices in groups of two or three, or secretly rejoicing. The future of Wangjiazhuang was quietly heading towards an unknown direction amidst the discussions and new variables.

The old man from the neighboring village, who Xi Yu had been asking for information about, felt mixed emotions when he heard about the subsequent developments of the Wangjiazhuang incident.

He paced in his courtyard, thinking to himself: "That young master is really courageous and decisive. He removed Wang Henghua's checkpoint so quickly. But the forces behind Wang Henghua are intertwined and intertwined. How can he be easily dealt with? Although this young master's actions are pleasing to the people, I am afraid he has made a strong enemy for himself."

He stopped and frowned, his eyes showing both admiration for Xi Yu's courageous action and worry about his future situation.

The old man knew very well that this storm was just the beginning.

At Wang Haipeng's home, a doctor carefully examined him, prescribed several medicines and then left.

Wang Haipeng leaned weakly on the bed and recounted his previous experiences to his family.

The soldiers who escorted him up sat aside and enthusiastically told Wang Hu and the other two soldiers about the thrilling scenes in the secret passage.

At first, everyone felt suffocated because they were trapped in the house, but as the story unfolded, everyone gradually immersed themselves in it and the atmosphere became lively.

They described with great excitement the darkness, narrowness, fear of the unknown in the secret passage, as well as the cautious exploration along the way.

Unfortunately, Wang Haipeng suddenly fell ill, and they had no choice but to interrupt their trip and return home.

Despite this, sharing the secret passage experience at this moment allowed everyone to temporarily forget some of their worries.

When the soldiers who came up later heard that Wang Hu had defeated the robbers so bravely and fearlessly, they all showed shock on their faces.

After they looked at each other, they immediately smiled, surrounded Wang Hu, and warmly wanted to become friends with him.

Wang Hu was surrounded by the crowd, his heart filled with pride, enjoying the feeling of being respected, as if all the long-standing repression and inferiority had disappeared at this moment, and he finally found his own value.

The soldiers laughed along, and when their eyes occasionally met, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.

They thought to themselves that the man in front of them was clearly a criminal, but they were deliberately trying to curry favor with him because of his bravery, which was really absurd and ridiculous.

But in this complex situation and delicate interpersonal relationships, they can only adapt to the times and see how things will develop in the future.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Luo Xiaoyu galloped on her horse to the Prime Minister's residence.

The wild galloping all the way made the horse under him panting and foaming at the mouth.

He jumped off his horse, not caring about the sweat-soaked hair on his forehead, and hurriedly said to the gatekeeper: "Quick, I have something urgent to report to Madam Gan, it's urgent!"

Seeing that he looked in a hurry, the gatekeeper did not dare to delay him any longer and quickly stepped aside to let him in.

Luo Xiaoyu walked quickly across the courtyard and headed straight for Mrs. Gan's residence.

Along the way, her mind was in a tangled mess, and the shocking news she had heard on the road kept emerging in her mind. She knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it would surely cause a huge storm in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this moment, the Prime Minister's Mansion was silent and quiet. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the carved beams and painted buildings, as if covering this majestic place with a layer of golden red gauze.

Luo Xiaoyu ran to Gan Mei's room anxiously and shouted loudly: "Madam!" Her voice was full of anxiety and urgency.

A little maid in Gan Mei's room heard the sound and hurried out.

The little maid had a hint of vigilance and confusion in her eyes, and asked, "Why are you yelling here?"

Luo Xiaoyu panted and said, "I have something extremely urgent to report to Madam in person. There is no time to waste!"

Seeing how flustered he was, the maidservant did not dare to stop him easily. She turned inside and whispered to Gan Mei, "Madam, there is a man outside. He is the one who saved Xiao Hong. He claims to have an urgent matter and wants to see you."

Gan Mei was slightly startled, thinking of Xiao Hong's matter, and a trace of curiosity and uneasiness surged in her heart. After thinking for a moment, she finally said, "In this case, let him in."

Luo Xiaoyu hurriedly straightened his clothes and walked quickly into the room. His face looked particularly ugly due to the long journey and his inner worries, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Gan Mei sat on the couch, looking at him calmly, and said softly: "Don't worry, take your time, and tell me what's going on." Luo Xiaoyu nodded slightly, took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and said: "Madam, when I was on the way to Kunlun Mountain with the Prime Minister, I encountered many checkpoints. The person who set up the checkpoint was very arrogant and openly claimed that he had a great connection with you, madam. His words seemed to have a hidden meaning, and his intentions were unclear. Now I rushed back as fast as I could to ask you for your instructions."

Gan Mei was surprised when she heard what Luo Xiaoyu said. She murmured softly, "I actually have such a relative? How come I have no impression of him at all?"

Luo Xiaoyu quickly responded.

"Madam, I also think this is strange. I'm afraid someone is deliberately impersonating you in an attempt to disrupt the Prime Minister's schedule."

Gan Mei nodded slightly, her expression gradually becoming serious.

"My husband sent you back with a clear intention. He wants me to go and deal with it. In that case, let me make some preparations and I will go with you tomorrow morning."

After saying this, Gan Mei called the maid and asked her to arrange a guest room for Luo Xiaoyu.

"Take him to the guest room to rest, prepare some hot water and food, and let him have a good rest."

Luo Xiaoyu bowed respectfully and retreated.

In the guest room, Luo Xiaoyu tossed and turned, pondering the identity and purpose of the impostor, and could not fall asleep for a long time.

As the dawn broke, Gan Mei got up early and carefully entrusted Xi Ping'an to several smart maids in the room: "You must take good care of the young master and there must not be any mistakes." The maids nodded in agreement.

Gan Mei and Luo Xiaoyu were about to set off when suddenly, a black shadow flashed from the darkness. It turned out to be a secret guard.

The secret guard knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Madam, please go ahead without worry. The Prime Minister has ordered that I am here to protect the young master and will ensure that he is safe."

Seeing this, Gan Mei's worries immediately dissipated a little. She nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your help."

So Gan Mei and Luo Xiaoyu set out on their journey.

The sound of horses' hooves clattered as they galloped along.

Xiyu and Xiaohong temporarily lived in a farmer's home. While chatting with the villagers, they gradually heard some rumors about Wang Henghua.

It is said that Wang Henghua's yard is extremely spacious and large.

However, this man was a playboy and kept many women in that yard.

His wife was a virtuous woman, but she could not bear such humiliation and neglect. A few years ago, she was so angry that she vomited blood and died with hatred.

After listening to these rumors, Xi Yu gained a deeper understanding of Wang Henghua's character.

On the other side, Stamford pulled the reins and looked at the familiar Parthian Palace in front of him, feeling mixed emotions.

Memories of the past came flooding back like a tide. All the hardships and dangers, and the hardships of sleeping in the open air, that I had experienced during the journey, now turned into a unique mark.

He dismounted, handed the reins to a soldier beside him, and walked towards the palace with firm steps.

When the palace guards saw that it was Shi Daming, they all saluted.

He nodded slightly, walked straight through the corridor and headed towards the palace where King Hesheli was.

Along the way, he straightened his slightly messy clothes, took a deep breath, and tried to make himself look calmer.

Entering the palace, Shi Daming bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I, Shi Daming, am back."

King Hesheli was concentrating on his documents. He looked up when he heard the voice, with a hint of surprise and expectation in his eyes: "Shi Daming, you are finally back. You have worked hard on the journey. Please tell me the details of this trip."

Shi Daming then said, "Your Majesty, I have gone through a lot of trouble and searched in many ways, and finally succeeded in my mission and obtained Xi Yu's birth date and eight characters. Then Shi Daming roughly recounted the specific process of obtaining it."

King Hesheli was delighted and praised him repeatedly, "Shi Daming, you are really capable and have done a good job. Now that we have Xi Yu's birth date, we can proceed with the follow-up matters step by step. I order you to contact Alexander immediately to discuss the next plan."

Shi Daming quickly stood up, bowed respectfully and said, "As you command, Your Majesty. I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty's trust."

After saying this, Smith slowly retreated until he left the palace. Then he turned around and thought seriously about the upcoming communication and cooperation with Alexander. He strode towards the designated destination, ready to contact Alexander.

Smith, who was eager to return home, went back home before looking for Alexander.

When he entered the house, his wife was busy in the courtyard. The moment she looked up and saw him, her eyes were full of surprise and joy. She walked up to him quickly and said softly, "You're back."

Shi Daming opened his arms and hugged his wife tightly. The two embraced each other, as if all the troubles in the world had disappeared at this moment.

Smith suddenly hugged his wife tightly, and then they walked into the room together.

The lady's cheeks flushed, and she said with a hint of anger: "What are you doing in broad daylight?"

Shi Daming raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a wicked smile, and said softly: "What's wrong with it being in broad daylight? I just missed you too much."

As he spoke, his hand gently stroked his wife's hair, his eyes full of affection and attachment, and he hugged his wife tighter, as if he wanted to express all his thoughts of her in this embrace.

On the other side, Luo Xiaoyu was riding on a horse with a strong posture and the reins tightly held in her hands. The horse's hooves were galloping forward quickly.

Gan Mei sat behind her, her face slightly pale, the strong wind scraped across her cheeks like a knife, and her body was shaking violently with the shaking of the horse.

She held onto the corner of Luo Xiaoyu's clothes tightly with both hands, and finally couldn't help but shouted: "Luo Xiaoyu, this speed is too fast, I really can't bear it, please slow down a little bit!"

When Luo Xiaoyu heard this, she was slightly startled, then she gently tightened the reins. The horse neighed long and slowed down gradually, and the sound of its hooves also changed from rapid to soothing.

Gan Mei then breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension on her face eased a little.

When Luo Xiaoyu heard Gan Mei's cry, her heart tightened and she quickly pulled the reins. After the horse slowed down, she turned around and apologized to Gan Mei with a guilty look on her face: "Madam, it's all my fault that I was too anxious. I was only thinking about getting on the road and didn't consider whether you could bear it. It's really my fault."

Gan Mei panted slightly, patted his chest, and said slowly: "Xiaoyu, I am also anxious. But on this journey, the variables are unpredictable. Even if you are extremely anxious, you must not let the horse run too fast. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it."

Luo Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly: "Madam is right. I have taken note of it and will be more cautious from now on."

Xiyu and Xiaohong stayed temporarily in a farmer's home, with only an old man accompanying them.

The old man was worried about his son's family, so he went to his son's home.

As a result, Xiyu and Xiaohong were the only ones left in this huge farmhouse.

The courtyard was quiet, with only the occasional sound of birds chirping. Xi Yu stood in the yard, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment around him, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

The two of them were in this slightly empty farmhouse, each with their own thoughts, preparing for an unknown day.

Xi Yu paced alone in the room, his brows furrowed, his heart in deep conflict.

He wondered to himself whether his decision to send someone to call Gan Mei with a heavy heart was right or wrong.

Perhaps there was a more direct way. Just reveal your identity and maybe Wang Henghua would tell the truth without going through so much trouble.

But now that things have come to this, Gan Mei must be on the way, like an arrow shot from a bow, unable to turn back.

Xi Yu sighed and said, "Never mind. Since I have chosen this path, I will wait for Gan Mei's arrival calmly."

Xiaohong stood quietly in front of the window of the room, staring blankly at the tranquil scenery outside the window. The breeze blew gently and the branches swayed, but her thoughts were like a tangled mess.

She tried desperately to search her mind for bits and pieces of the past, but until now, the black hole of memory was still bottomless and she could not remember anything.

This feeling of powerlessness was like a sharp dagger, deeply hurting her heart, filling her eyes with pain and confusion. Her hands unconsciously clutched the corners of her clothes, and her body trembled slightly, as if in this empty world, she was the only one who was forgotten in the wasteland of memory, unable to find her place to return to.

This made her feel particularly troubled. (End of this chapter)
