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

At this time, one of the owners showed hesitation and frowned and said, "If we do this, if the matter gets out of hand, won't we have to bear the responsibility? If they sue us, we will all be in trouble."

After hearing this, Han Donglai turned his gaze and looked at the owner who was particularly thin.

This person was none other than the owner surnamed Liu. He remembered that the owner had some dealings with the county magistrate, so he asked, "Owner Liu, I remember you have some connections with the county magistrate, right?"

Master Liu nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"It is true. I am quite familiar with the county magistrate and we often interact with each other."

Han Donglai was immediately emboldened when he heard this. With a sinister look in his eyes, he said, "If that's the case, then what do we have to be afraid of? With the relationship with Master Liu, even if they go to the authorities to file a complaint, we can still smooth things over. There won't be any big problems. Let's just go for it!"

When everyone heard this, they felt that they had someone to rely on, and their original hesitation was instantly thrown out of the window. They rubbed their hands, ready to cause some "trouble" to Wenxuan's inn.

"However, since we are gathered together today, let's drink first and talk about other things later." Han Donglai said with a smile.

After hearing what Han Donglai said, everyone agreed.

One of them said, "Manager Han is right. There is no need to rush. Let's get together and have a good drink first. It will also help us to build momentum for what is to come."

So, a few people asked the waiter to prepare wine and food. Soon, the table was filled with delicious food and wine.

They sat together and at first just chatted about business matters. The more they talked, the more they felt that the appearance of Wenxuan's inn disturbed their peace, and their resentment became stronger.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone's face turned red and they talked more and more excitedly.

Han Donglai picked up the wine glass, stood up, and said loudly: "Everyone, there is a special meaning behind the wine we drink today. In the afternoon, we will go to Wenxuan's inn together and let them see how powerful we are. We must smash their store to pieces and see how they can compete with us for business in the future!"

The others also stood up, raised their glasses in response, and shouted in unison: "Yes, we should teach them a lesson and never let them have it easy!"

Wenxuan pedaled hard all the way, panting, and finally arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion. She didn't bother to wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead, and hurried to the mansion, but when she asked the doorman, she found out that Xiyu was not at home.

Wenxuan suddenly felt a little disappointed. He was full of anxiety but had no one to vent to. But thinking that he had to explain this matter clearly to Xiyu, he gritted his teeth and decided to wait in the yard.

She found a stone bench and sat down, looking towards the gate from time to time, hoping that Xi Yu would come back soon. The arrogant looks of Han Donglai and others kept appearing in her mind, and she was worried whether Xiao Cui would be scared staying alone in the inn.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, but he could only wait patiently, hoping that Xi Yu would show up soon to help resolve this crisis.

It was almost noon when Xi Yu leisurely returned home. As soon as he stepped into the house, he saw Wenxuan standing in the yard with an anxious look on his face.

As soon as Wenxuan saw Xiyu, he hurried forward and couldn't help complaining.

"My Lord Prime Minister, where have you been? I've been waiting for you here for a long time, and I'm so anxious." As he said this, he gave Xi Yu a cold look.

When Xi Yu heard this, he frowned slightly and pretended to be serious and said, "Wenxuan, please stop messing around. After all, I am now the prime minister. This status is here. When you see me, you should at least be polite."

Wenxuan was not afraid at all. He rolled his eyes at him angrily and muttered, "It's already this hour, and you still care about these things. I'm in a hurry here, so why should I care about being polite?"

Seeing her like this, Xi Yu knew that something must have happened, so he put away his pretended serious look, softened his tone, and asked, "What happened? Tell me in detail, don't worry."

Wenxuan then told Xiyu everything about how Han Donglai came to threaten her yesterday, asking her to leave and open a store somewhere else, otherwise he would join forces with his peers to boycott her, as well as all those unreasonable words.

After hearing this, Xi Yu was shocked and said, "Too good to hear such a thing happen. This person is too arrogant."

Wenxuan anxiously continued, "I think they must have a trick up their sleeve. They might attack my store today. We have to be on guard."

Xi Yu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then asked, "Didn't you tell them that you are familiar with me and that you belong to me? If they knew about this relationship, I don't think they would dare to act so recklessly."

Wenxuan shook his head in annoyance and sighed, "I was so angry at the time that I was confused and furious. How could I have thought of this? Now that I think about it, I really regret it."

Xi Yu said in a deep voice: "In this case, I can't just sit back and do nothing about this matter. Humph, they actually dared to bully someone I know like this. They are so bold. I will send two soldiers to guard your store for a few days to see if they dare to act rashly."

When Wenxuan heard this, he was immediately delighted and nodded repeatedly, saying gratefully: "Oh, thank you so much. With the soldiers here, I feel much more at ease."

Xiyu had a smile on his face and continued to joke with Wenxuan.

"Haha, Boss Wen, you have to pay for these soldiers. After all, they are there to protect your store."

Wenxuan was also amused and started laughing. He puffed out his chest and replied cheerfully, "Just pay it. It's not like I can't afford it. As long as it can keep my inn safe, spending some wages is nothing."

Xi Yu raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Oh, look at your confidence. It seems that once the business of this inn is good, you will become a rich woman soon. I'm afraid you won't take me, the prime minister, seriously in the future."

Wenxuan looked at Xiyu with pretended anger and retorted with a smile.

"What are you talking about, Prime Minister? Even if I become a rich woman in the future, I still need your care. How dare I forget your kindness?"

After that, the two of them laughed again.

Xi Yu immediately found a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a note. He then handed it to Wenxuan and said with a smile, "Wenxuan, take this note to the military camp and find the manager there. Ask him to arrange two capable soldiers for you. They will do as you are told when they see the note."

Wenxuan hurriedly took the note, put it away carefully, and replied anxiously and gratefully: "Thank you, then I will go to the military camp right away, I can't delay."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out quickly, his steps hurried, thinking only of getting to the military camp as soon as possible and bringing the soldiers back to the inn to deal with any trouble that might arise.

Xi Yu stood where he was, looking at Wen Xuan's departing back, frowning slightly, thinking to himself that after this matter was settled, he would definitely go and give those ignorant innkeepers a good lesson, letting them know that if they dared to do something reckless under his nose, he would not let them off so easily.

Wenxuan hurried and arrived at the military camp in a short time.

She walked straight to the soldier on duty and explained her purpose: "I am here on the orders of the Prime Minister to select two soldiers. Please inform them."

Afterwards, she was led before the centurion, and Wenxuan hurriedly handed her the note.

The captain took the note and recognized the Prime Minister's handwriting at a glance. He looked up at Wen Xuan and knew that this man had a close relationship with the Prime Minister. He readily agreed and said with a wave of his hand, "Since it is the Prime Minister's order, then you can go to the camp and pick someone. You can take them away once you have chosen one."

Wenxuan thanked him and walked quickly into the military camp.

She swept her eyes over all the soldiers and finally picked out two who were young, strong and tall. She thought they looked full of energy and would definitely be able to protect the inn.

Wenxuan said to the two of them, "Excuse me, the situation is urgent. Please hurry up and ride with me to the store in case anything goes wrong."

The two soldiers responded in unison: "Yes, rest assured, young lady, we will definitely fulfill our mission!"

After saying that, several people jumped on their horses, their hooves raised dust, and they galloped towards the inn.

This time, Wenxuan also rode on a horse and went forward with the two soldiers. Along the way, the sound of horse hooves clattered, but Wenxuan looked anxious, frowning, and occasionally urging them to hurry up.

One of the soldiers saw how anxious she was and comforted her: "Miss Wen, you don't have to worry too much. Maybe that group of people won't cause trouble. Let's go over now. Maybe everything will be fine."

Wenxuan sighed softly and replied, "I hope so. I just hope nothing goes wrong." After a pause, she looked at the two soldiers again and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you your names yet."

The soldier on the left, with a resolute face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, saluted with his fists and said loudly: "Miss Wen, my name is Chen Hu. I am responsible for many affairs in the camp on weekdays. I have trained a lot of skills and will definitely be able to protect your inn."

The soldier on the right, who looked a bit simple and honest and had a burly figure, also hurriedly saluted and said, "Miss Wen, my name is Zhao Gang. I dare not say anything else, but I will never hesitate when fighting. With my brother Chen Hu and I here, those troublemakers will never get away with it."

After hearing this, Wenxuan smiled and said gratefully: "Thank you both for your help. If everything goes well, I will definitely thank you very much." As he spoke, the few of them quickened their speed and rushed towards the inn.

After Han Donglai and several other hosts had eaten and drunk their fill, they began to prepare to cause trouble at Wenxuan's inn with fierce looks in their eyes.

They were too lazy to do it themselves, so they hired someone to do it.

Soon, a group of hooligans gathered around them.

These little hooligans usually make a living by causing trouble on the streets. When they heard that there were benefits to be gained and they could act wild as they pleased, they all became excited.

Han Donglai looked at the gangsters and ordered them with a gloomy face: "Listen carefully, you guys go to the Wen Family Inn later and make as much noise as you can. The more chaos there is, the better. It would be best if you scare the guests away from coming again. If you do a good job, you will get the benefits."

When the hooligans heard this, they all responded with a look of arrogance, and one of them shouted, "Don't worry, boss, we will definitely do it for you!"

After that, he walked towards Wenxuan's inn, cursing, under the guidance of the owners, pushing and shoving along the way, as if he was going to tear down the inn. Passers-by looked at him sideways, but they didn't dare to say much and could only worry about the inn.

Xiao Cui stayed in the store carefully for the whole morning. Although she was still a little scared, she forced herself to be cheerful and warmly greeted the few customers who came in.

Time passed slowly, but the expected troublemakers never showed up, and everything in the store was relatively calm.

Xiao Cui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe Han Donglai and the others had a change of heart and felt that it was not right to do so, so they gave up the idea of ​​causing trouble.

Or maybe, the young lady and I were just worrying too much, and nothing would happen at all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Cui's tense nerves gradually relaxed and a relaxed smile appeared on her face. She felt that it might have been a false alarm, so she continued to take care of the business in the store with peace of mind.

But Xiao Cui never expected that as soon as she finished this thought, a noisy sound came from outside.

I saw a group of hooligans rushing in, cursing and yelling in a very arrogant manner. As soon as they entered the door, they shouted at the top of their voices: "Get out of here, leave quickly if you know what's best for you, or don't blame us for being rude!"

Xiao Cui was so frightened that she trembled all over and her face turned pale, but she knew she couldn't back down. She gritted her teeth, stood up, and asked bravely, "You...what do you do? How can you be so unreasonable!"

At this time, a thug with a face full of flesh squinted his eyes, looked Xiao Cui up and down, and asked viciously: "Are you the boss here?"

Xiao Cui quickly replied: "I'm not the boss, my young lady is, but she's not here right now, so it's the same if you tell me what you have to say."

When the gangsters heard this, they burst into laughter.

The person who had just spoken then said with disdain, "Oh, it's okay for me to tell you, then you better hurry up and clear out the people inside. We are going to burn this store down and smash everything inside to pieces so that you can't run this crappy store anymore!"

As he spoke, he shook the stick in his hand, looking like he was ready to take action at any time.

Xiao Cui was shocked and scared, and extremely anxious, but she still held on, thinking of finding a way to delay them and wait for the young lady to come back, but she really didn't know what to do for the moment.

Xiao Cui's eyes were red, and she asked in a tearful voice: "Why did you do this? We are doing business honestly, and we haven't offended you. You are so cruel to do this. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

The gangsters snorted nonchalantly, and the leader waved his hand impatiently, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? We are just following orders. I'll give you some time to clear out the gang. Don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit."

As they were talking, a few guests heard the noise outside and came out trembling with looks of fear on their faces.

One of the customers, who was wearing a long gown, was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at the hooligans and shouted, "You guys scared us so much. We are staying here and spending money. We were frightened for no reason. You can't just let it go like this. You have to compensate us!"

When Xiao Cui heard this, she became even more anxious. She was already overwhelmed, and now she had to deal with a customer asking for compensation. She was so anxious that she couldn't stop crying. She cried while rushing to comfort the customer.

"Sir, please calm down. I will definitely give you an explanation for your matter. But in this situation, please step aside for the time being."

But the customer refused to give in and insisted on an explanation. The situation became more and more chaotic. Xiao Cui felt like the sky was falling and just hoped that the young lady would come back quickly with help.

When some customers first saw Xiao Cui's pitiful appearance, they felt sympathy and silently stood up for her in their hearts.

However, when these customers, who were originally sympathetic, heard someone shouting and demanding compensation from Xiao Cui, their minds were shaken.

So, they followed those people and asked Xiao Cui to pay compensation, completely forgetting their previous sympathy for her.

Xiao Cui then raised her eyebrows, opened her eyes wide, straightened her back, and raised her voice to tell them loudly.

"Listen to me, don't do anything reckless here! My young lady has a close relationship with the current prime minister. What kind of person is the prime minister? He is a powerful figure who is feared by all. If you dare to sabotage here and cause trouble, the consequences will definitely not be something you can afford! By then, not to mention you little hooligans, even the people who are behind you will be in trouble!"

The gangsters were stunned at first, looked at each other, and then laughed unscrupulously.

One of the hooligans with shifty eyes took a step forward, pointed at Xiao Cui's nose and said sarcastically: "Humph, you actually dare to scare us under the banner of the Prime Minister, it's ridiculous! Just relying on a little girl like you, you can get close to the Prime Minister? I think you are dreaming and talking nonsense! Don't think you can scare us by making up a scary name, we are not brought up to be scared!"

"I have told you the truth, you can believe it or not. If you don't believe it, then start doing it."

At this moment, Xiao Cui didn't know where she got the courage from, and she actually started to fight with them.

She was originally particularly afraid of the arrival of troublemakers.

But when the real person arrived, she thought of the prime minister and felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.
At this moment, a few gangsters were a little hesitant.

But in the end, one person decided to take action.

"Brothers, don't listen to his nonsense. If he has any relationship with the prime minister, I will walk backwards from now on."

"Yes, we were almost fooled by this little girl."

So at this time, they were about to fight, and Xiao Cui said: "In that case, I will let you go. Anyway, you will regret it later."

After saying this, she even stepped aside to give the opportunity to be punished to a few people. (End of this chapter)
