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

"How could we be so stupid that we didn't expect this!" Another guard hit his head hard, his eyes full of regret.

"It's over now. If Chief Tapi wakes up, we'll all be in trouble!" The third guard's face turned pale and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Several people stood there, as if their souls had been taken away. They didn't know what to do and felt that the end was approaching.

Meng Huo stepped into Tapi's room with a menacing look on his face, only to see Tapi lying on the bed, snoring loudly.

Meng Huo frowned, his eyes burning with anger.

He waved his hand and said to the followers behind him: "Wake him up for me!"

One of the followers quickly responded, "Yes, sir!" Then, the man rolled his eyes and hurried out to get a large basin of cold water.

Meng Huo stood aside with his arms folded across his chest, staring at Tapi on the bed with a gloomy face, thinking to himself: "Wait until you wake up, and see how I'll deal with you!"

The attendant walked to the bedside and without hesitation poured a basin of cold water towards Tapi.

Tapi was shocked by the sudden cold water and jumped up from the bed, screaming "Ah".

His eyes widened, his face full of fear, water drops dripping down his hair. He shivered and shouted in panic, "Who? Who did it!"

When he saw clearly that it was Meng Huo standing in front of him, he turned pale with fear, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he stammered, "Meng... Lord Meng Huo, what... what's going on?"

At this time, Tapi was completely sober after being splashed with cold water. He shook his head and his eyes gradually became clear again.

Meng Huo looked at Tapi, sneered, and said, "Humph, I, Meng Huo, have always been upright and honest, and I disdain to launch sneak attacks, so I must wake you up."

Meng Huo had his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with majesty and confidence.

Tapi stood up, wiped the water off his face, sneered, and replied: "Don't be too proud too soon, don't forget that your brother is still in my hands."

The corners of Tapi's mouth rose, with a hint of cunning and complacency in his eyes.

Meng Huo burst into laughter, and his laughter echoed in the room.

Tapi was stunned, and his heart was shocked. He thought to himself: "Could it be that Meng Huo has rescued his brother?"

His expression suddenly turned very ugly, and his eyes were full of confusion and uneasiness.

Tapi pretended to be calm, stared at Meng Huo and said, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny!" His voice trembled a little, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Meng Huo stopped laughing, looked at Tapi with sharp eyes, and said loudly: "Do you think you can threaten me by capturing my brother? To tell you the truth, my brother is safe!" Meng Huo held his head high and chest out, exuding a powerful aura.

Meng Huo took a step forward, approached Tapi, and snorted coldly: "Tapi, today is the day you die!"

Tapi retreated repeatedly, shouting in a timid tone: "Don't mess around! Even if your brother is not in my hands, you can't easily touch me!"

Meng Huo crossed his arms and said sarcastically, "You are still stubborn now. I might as well tell you that my people have surrounded this place. You can't escape even if you have wings!"

Tapi looked around in horror, his face pale, his lips trembling: "How is this possible?"

Tapi's legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground. He cried out in a tearful voice, "Meng Huo, you can't kill me. You won't have an easy life if you kill me!" His eyes were filled with despair and fear.

Meng Huo was unmoved, and said coldly: "You have done many evil things, today is your end!"

There was a flash of madness in Tapi's eyes all of a sudden, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I die, I'll take someone with me!" As he said that, he reached for his waist.

Meng Huo was quick-witted and kicked Tapi's wrist, causing a dagger to fall to the ground.

"Hmph, you still want to resist!" Meng Huo shouted angrily.

Tapi covered his wrist in pain and collapsed to the ground, still muttering to himself: "It's over, everything is over"

At this time, the sound of soldiers' orderly footsteps came from outside the door, and Meng Huo's men had surrounded the room.

Meng Huo looked down at Tapi and said, "The crime you committed is unforgivable!"

Tapi looked ashen and gave up resistance completely.

Tapi ended his sinful life in despair. Meng Huo looked at Tapi's body with a gloomy face and coldly ordered people to burn the place.

A raging fire broke out instantly, and thick smoke rose into the sky.

Just then, Wan Xi suddenly rushed in.

When he saw Tapi's body, his eyes were filled with grief and despair, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Lord Tapi!" Wan Xi cried out in a shrill and desperate voice.

He stared at Tapi blankly, his body trembling, as if he had lost his soul.

After a moment, Wan Xi smiled sadly and said to himself: "My Lord is gone, how can I live alone?"

After saying this, he drew his sword without hesitation and committed suicide.

The fire was raging where Tapi lived, with thick smoke billowing into the sky, which soon attracted the attention of many people.

People gathered around, whispering to each other, with looks of panic on their faces.

Meng Huo looked grim and soon came to the street. He stood tall and straight, looking at the crowd with dignity, and said loudly: "Everyone has seen it clearly! Tapi rebelled and this is his fate! Anyone who dares to follow suit will end up like this!"

There was a commotion in the crowd; some people looked frightened, and some lowered their heads and whispered.

Meng Huo continued, "I, Meng Huo, only wish to maintain peace in this area. If anyone attempts to destroy this peace, don't blame me for being ruthless!" His voice was loud and firm, echoing in the street.

At this moment, the sunlight shone on Meng Huo, reflecting his resolute outline, which was awe-inspiring.

Meng Huo stared at the crowd with a sharp gaze, not missing any subtle changes in their expressions. He continued, "I, Meng Huo, act uprightly, just to protect the peaceful lives of the people here. If there are any traitors who cause chaos, I will punish them severely!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Lord Meng Huo, we will definitely support you!" Others also echoed.

Meng Huo nodded slightly, his expression slightly relieved: "As long as everyone abides by the law and works together to maintain this peaceful and prosperous era, we will live and work in peace and contentment, and have no worries about food and clothing."

After saying that, he turned around and strode away, leaving behind a group of people still sighing and talking.

The burning tower residence seemed to be an eternal warning, reminding everyone not to make mistakes.

After returning home, Meng Huo hurried into the main hall and saw Xi Yu sitting at the table reading a book.

Meng Huo stepped forward and bowed, then reported what had happened in detail.

"My lord, the tower skin has been removed and the residence has been burned down to serve as a warning to others." Meng Huo said in a loud voice.

Xi Yu put down the book and asked with a smile: "Did any innocent people get hurt in this operation?"

Meng Huo quickly replied: "Prime Minister, no other innocent people were injured."

After hearing this, Xi Yu's eyes flashed with relief, and he said happily: "Very good, very good. This way, we can also get rid of a harm for the people."

Then, Meng Huo went to Mrs. Zhu Rong's room and told her what had happened.

When Mrs. Zhu Rong heard this, a bright smile spread across her face and she said, "My husband, you did a good job. This Tapi has done so many evil things that he deserves this fate long ago."

Meng Huo looked at his wife's smile and his heart was filled with joy.

Meng Xin came out from the inner room with a look of anticipation on her face, and asked cautiously, "Brother, can I go back home now?"

Meng Huo frowned and shook his head firmly, a trace of fear in his eyes, and said: "No, my heart is beating fast when I think of what happened before. You just stay here and don't have to do anything. I will support you!"

When Meng Xin heard this, she stamped her feet anxiously and said loudly: "Brother, how can this be possible? I am not without hands and feet, how can I let you keep me!"

At this time, Madam Zhu Rong also came over, looked at Meng Xin gently, and persuaded her: "Meng Xin, just listen to your brother. Staying here, at least you have someone to rely on. We are all a family."

Her eyes were full of sincerity and concern.

Meng Xin looked embarrassed and lowered his head to think for a moment, feeling very conflicted: on the one hand, he didn't want to be a burden to his brother, but on the other hand, he felt that what his sister-in-law said made sense.

Meng Xin raised his head, looked at Meng Huo and Madam Zhu Rong with a firm gaze, and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I really don't want to be supported like this doing nothing." His face was full of stubbornness.

Meng Huo walked forward, patted Meng Xin on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Brother, don't think too much. I am still scared by what happened before. As long as you are by my side, I will feel at ease." Meng Huo's eyes were full of worry and love for his brother.

Mrs. Zhu Rong also took Meng Xin's hand and said with a smile: "Meng Xin, you can stay here without any worries. It's great that we can be together as a family and take care of each other." Her eyes were gentle and kind. Meng Xin bit her lip, and was touched. Her eyes were slightly red. She said: "Okay, brother, sister-in-law, I will listen to you."

Meng Huo and Madam Zhu Rong smiled at each other, their eyes full of relief.

Then, Meng Huo said with a serious look in his eyes: "Meng Xin, the Prime Minister has made an indelible contribution to the successful resolution of this matter. You should go and thank the Prime Minister."

Meng Xin nodded without hesitation and replied, "Brother, I understand."

So, the two brothers came to Xiyu side by side.

Meng Huo bowed respectfully and said, "Prime Minister, my two brothers have come to express our gratitude."

Meng Xin also bowed deeply, his face full of gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness, Prime Minister."

Xi Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Please stand up quickly. This is a just act. Don't worry about it."

Meng Huo stood up, looked at Xi Yu firmly, and said, "I, Meng Huo, will always remember the great kindness of the Prime Minister. I will serve you wholeheartedly in the future."

Meng Xin also quickly agreed: "I am willing to serve the Prime Minister."

Xi Yu looked at the two brothers with admiration in his eyes, and said: "General Meng Huo is loyal and brave, and Meng Xin is also a grateful person. I am very pleased. In the future, I hope you will continue to do your best for the peace of this area."

Meng Huo clasped his fists and replied solemnly: "Don't worry, Prime Minister. I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Meng Xin also looked determined: "Although I am not talented, I am willing to follow my brother and work for the welfare of the people."

Xi Yu nodded slightly and said, "Very good, very good."

At this time, Meng Huo glanced at Meng Xin and said, "The Prime Minister is busy with affairs, so we will not bother him any more and will take our leave first."

The two brothers saluted Xi Yu again, then turned and left.

Xi Yu waved his hand and said, "General Meng Huo, the matter here has been completed, and I and my party should also leave."

When Meng Huo heard this, he stepped forward and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, although the matter here is over, the people have deep respect for you. I hope you can stay a little longer and let everyone feel your grace more."

Meng Huo's face was full of sincerity and reluctance.

Xi Yu hesitated for a moment, looked at Meng Huo's expectant eyes, and finally said, "Okay, then stay another day."

Meng Huo was immediately delighted and immediately bowed his hands to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Prime Minister!"

On the other side, late at night, everything was quiet and the moonlight was like water.

Many assassins, wearing masks, came quietly to Meng Huo's mansion. They were agile and quick in movement, like ghosts.

Each of these killers had a murderous look in their eyes, and their hearts were filled with the obsession of avenging Tapi.

They climbed over the courtyard wall silently, avoided the patrolling guards, and quickly approached Meng Huo's room.

The leading killer made a gesture, and everyone quickly dispersed and surrounded Meng Huo's room.

Then, one of the killers kicked the door open, and the others quickly broke into Meng Huo's room.

Meng Huo and Lady Zhu Rong woke up from their sleep very quickly, and they instantly realized the danger was coming. Meng Huo's eyes were stern, and he quickly jumped out of bed.

Madam Zhu Rong was also unequivocal. She quickly picked up the spear beside her, her eyes wide open, and fought fiercely with the assassins while cursing: "You ignorant people, how dare you offend me? Today, I will make sure you never return!"

The spear in her hand was like a dragon emerging from the sea, fierce and aggressive, and every move was filled with fierce murderous intent.

Meng Huo was not willing to be outdone, and faced the enemy with his bare hands. He roared, "You villains, how dare you attack me at night? I will tear you into pieces!" His boxing was fierce and powerful, and each blow was accompanied by a whistling sound, which made the killers retreat again and again.

Although the killers were numerous and powerful, they could not gain the upper hand for a while due to the fierce resistance of Meng Huo and Madam Zhu Rong.

Madam Zhu Rong danced with her spear in her hand vigorously. She beat and scolded: "You cowards, you think you can escape punishment by covering your faces?"

Meng Huo became more and more courageous as the battle went on. He shouted, "Prepare to die!"

He punched a killer in the chest with a sudden blow, and the killer screamed and flew out.

At this moment, a killer seized the opportunity and stabbed Madam Zhu Rong with a knife.

Meng Huo was quick-witted and quick-handed. He flew over and blocked the attack for Madam Zhu Rong.

His arm was scratched and blood stained his sleeves, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he became even more courageous and turned around and kicked the killer to the ground.

Seeing Meng Huo injured, Lady Zhu Rong was furious and her spear became more and more fierce. "You dare to hurt my husband? I will kill you!"

Gradually, the killers were unable to hold out and began to retreat.

But the leading assassin shouted: "Don't retreat, if we don't kill Meng Huo today, we will all die!"

Meng Huo and Madam Zhu Rong looked at each other, and a determination to unite against a common enemy surged in their hearts.

They cooperated more and more tacitly, forcing the killers to retreat step by step.

Finally, after a fierce fight, Meng Huo and Madam Zhu Rong successfully subdued all the killers, leaving only one alive.

Meng Huo grabbed the killer by the collar, glared at him, and shouted, "Tell me, who sent you here?"

Madam Zhu Rong held a spear in her hand, pointed the tip of the spear directly at the killer, and shouted sternly: "Tell the truth, or I will make you live a life worse than death!"

The killer was already scared to the point of looking pale and shaking all over. He said tremblingly, "It's... it's Tapi's old subordinates. They want to avenge Tapi."

Madam Zhu Rong nodded and said, "We must not let these remnants go!"

Then, a fierce look flashed in Meng Huo's eyes, and he killed the killer without saying a word.

On the next day, at dawn, Meng Huo led a team of elite soldiers and launched a thorough search throughout the city, leaving no corner untouched.

With a grim expression, he shouted to the soldiers, "Search carefully, and don't let any of Tapi's former subordinates go!"

The soldiers were all in high spirits, holding weapons, and conducting checks from house to house.

People on the street looked sideways and whispered about the tense situation.

Meng Huo rode on his horse with a sharp eye, not missing any suspicious signs.

Next, the team led by Meng Huo searched the whole city like a large and precise net. After a lot of hard work, they finally made a significant discovery.

They followed the clues and found a hideout of Tapi's former subordinates.

Meng Huo gave an order: "Surround them, don't let any of them escape!"

The soldiers acted quickly and surrounded the hideout.

Tapi's former subordinates in the hideout were panicked and tried to resist stubbornly.

But Meng Huo led the charge, extremely brave. He brandished his weapon and shouted, "You traitors, today is your end!"

The soldiers were encouraged and their morale was boosted, and they fought bravely against the enemy.

After a fierce battle, Meng Huo successfully captured all of Tapi's former subordinates.

He stood in the messy den, a triumphant smile on his face, and said loudly: "Those who do evil will eventually not escape the punishment of justice!"

On the other side, Xiyu, Ouyang Linlin, Xiaohong and another person were strolling leisurely on the street.

Ouyang Linlin opened her big curious eyes, looked around, her face was filled with excitement, and she kept exclaiming: "This alien scenery is really unique and fascinating."

Xiao Hong also jumped happily, holding some small exotic items in her hands, and said happily: "Yes, Miss, I like it here so much."

Xi Yu looked at their cheerful appearance and said with a smile: "Take your time to stroll and enjoy this unique scenery."

They walked through the bustling streets and alleys, feeling the unique customs of the foreign ethnic group.

They didn't finish their stroll until late at night, when it was already dark. Xi Yu looked up at the dark sky, smiled bitterly, and said, "I was planning to leave today, but it looks like I have to leave tomorrow."

Ouyang Linlin winked playfully and said, "Oh, this scenery is so charming, it won't hurt to stay one more day." (End of this chapter)
