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

Xiyu took Xiaohong and headed towards Kunlun Mountain.

When she first got on the horse, Xiaohong frowned slightly. Although there was confusion in her eyes, there was still a hint of stubbornness.

"Prime Minister, although I have lost my memory, I know that you are of noble status. Why do you have to take the risk to go to Kunlun Mountain?"

Xi Yu looked ahead with a determined gaze, the wind whistling in his ears. He said in a deep voice, "Don't mention it again. I have to do this myself. You don't need to ask about the pros and cons."

Not long after the two men walked side by side, they suddenly heard a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds behind them.

The two looked back and saw Luo Xiaoyu riding his horse galloping towards them. His face was slightly flushed, the hair on his forehead was soaked with sweat, and his eyes were full of eagerness and anticipation.

Luo Xiaoyu pulled the reins, the horse neighed loudly, and raised its front hooves in the air.

He took a deep breath, looked at Xi Yu and said, "Prime Minister, please take me with you when you go to Kunlun Mountain."

Xi Yu was stunned at first, then seemed to understand everything, and his eyes moved between Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong.

"Of course." Xi Yu said in a clear voice, "Xiao Hong, you can ride on the same horse with Master Luo."

Xiaohong was slightly startled and looked up at Luo Xiaoyu. Luo Xiaoyu quickly turned over and got off the horse, stretched out her hand to Xiaohong, with a hint of subtle shyness and excitement in her eyes.

Xiaohong hesitated for a moment and extended her hand. Luo Xiaoyu gently held it and helped Xiaohong get on the horse. Then he also swiftly jumped on the horse and sat behind Xiaohong.

Luo Xiaoyu had an irrepressible smile on his face and his heart was filled with joy. He knew that Xi Yu must have seen through his feelings for Xiaohong.

At this moment, Xi Yu glanced sideways, his gaze lingered on Luo Xiaoyu for a moment, and he asked softly, "Won't your father miss you if you don't go home?"

Luo Xiaoyu raised her chin slightly, with a look of firmness and unruliness in her eyes, and waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I've left a letter to let you know, nothing will happen."

Seeing how determined he was, Xi Yu said no more, but just nodded slightly, and then shook the reins. Tianqi continued to gallop forward, and the sound of horse hooves echoed on the empty road, as if playing a piece of unknown adventure music.

Luo Xiaoyu sat on the horse's back, feeling Xiaohong's close presence, her heart full of longing and expectation.

So, the three of them traveled together and embarked on the long journey to Kunlun Mountain.

Xi Yu took the lead, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his eyes always fixed firmly on the road ahead.

Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong rode together and followed closely behind. Luo Xiaoyu controlled the reins carefully, fearing that a bump would make Xiaohong feel uncomfortable.

Xiaohong sat quietly in front of him, with a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes from time to time, and sometimes she was attracted by the novel scenery along the way.

Along the way, the wind whistled past, as if telling an ancient legend.

They passed through dense mountain forests, and the sunlight shone through the gaps between branches and leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadows.

They crossed the gurgling stream, and the cool water splashed, wetting the horses' hooves and clothes.

At Wang Haipeng's home, the atmosphere was a little dull but also revealed a unique sense of relaxation.

The two soldiers were waiting quietly with Wang Hu. They could not hide their joy on their faces. They were secretly happy that they could rest here without having to travel a long distance.

One of the soldiers grinned with a flattering smile on his face and said to Wang Hu: "I have to thank you very much today. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be so comfortable."

Wang Hu frowned, glared, and shouted in a gruff voice, "Stop smiling at me, everyone, be alert!"

The soldier's smile froze on his face after being yelled at. He quickly restrained his expression and straightened his back. The air in the room seemed to solidify a little because of the scolding. Only silence remained in the room, with only the occasional sound of light breathing and the sound of wind outside the window interweaving with each other.

After a while, the two soldiers began to feel bored.

While they were bored, their eyes fell on the chessboard at the same time. When their eyes met, they understood each other instantly.

One person couldn't wait to take the chessboard and placed it on the small table in the room. The chess pieces hit the chessboard, making a crisp sound, which seemed to break the dull silence.

They quickly set up the chessboard and fought back and forth, making it difficult to determine the winner.

At first, the two were a little nonchalant, but as the game progressed, they gradually became immersed in it. Their expressions were sometimes solemn, sometimes relaxed. They considered every move over and over again, as if this small chessboard was their battlefield at the moment.

All the disturbances in the outside world were left behind, leaving only the silent competition between the chess pieces and the persistent desire for victory.

Not long after, the soldier who was concentrating on playing chess suddenly seemed to remember something. He raised his head, with a hint of vigilance and warning in his eyes, and said to Wang Hu: "Behave yourself!"

When Wang Hu heard this, a sneer appeared on his face.

"You tied me up with ropes, how can I leave? You are only acting like this because you are guilty."

The soldier was choked by Wang Hu's words. A trace of anger flashed across his face, but he was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to refute. He could only glare at Wang Hu fiercely and then continued to play chess with his head down.

After a while, there was a sudden noisy sound of horse hooves and shouting outside the house, and then several robbers rushed into the house as fast as wolves.

The two soldiers who were playing chess were startled and stood up quickly. They instinctively put their hands on the swords at their waists and shouted with vigilance, "Who are you?"

The robbers all had fierce faces and fierce eyes. One of them, who looked like a leader, shouted at the top of his voice: "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and take out the treasure, or I will let you all leave today!"

When the two soldiers heard this, they looked at each other in confusion, wondering where the treasure came from.

Wang Hu, who was standing by, was so angry that his eyes widened and he yelled, "What kind of beasts are you! Can't you see I'm resting here? There's no treasure here. Get out of here!"

Only then did everyone notice that Wang Hu was tied up with ropes, but even so, his fearless attitude really surprised everyone. Several robbers were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter. The laughter echoed in the room, revealing a frightening malice.

The robbers ignored the three men's words and rushed towards them waving their knives and sticks without saying a word. A melee broke out instantly.

A robber took aim at Wang Hu and raised his knife to chop at him. At this critical moment, Wang Hu suddenly felt a surge of strength and broke the rope tied to his body.

He roared angrily and attacked the robbers like an enraged beast, punching them hard in the flesh and making them scream in pain.

While dealing with the attacks from other bandits, the two soldiers kept an eye on Wang Hu, fearing that he would take the opportunity to escape.

One of the soldiers took the time to shout at Wang Hu: "You'd better not leave, or you'll be in trouble!"

Hearing this, Wang Hu sneered again, and while fighting, he retorted: "If I wanted to leave, I would have left long ago. I'm already tied up here and I'm so depressed. Why should I leave? You two are really stupid and can't understand the situation. Is now the time to worry about this?"

After saying that, he kicked a robber who rushed over and sent him flying. The two soldiers' faces turned blue and white, but they couldn't say anything else. They could only continue to fight with the robbers. For a while, the room was filled with shouting and fighting sounds, which turned into a chaotic noise.

Wang Hu was like a tiger among a flock of sheep, his burly body containing amazing strength.

He let out a loud shout and suddenly stretched out two big hands like palm-leaf fans. He grabbed the collars of the two robbers as accurately as an eagle catching chicks. Veins bulged in his arms as he slammed the two men's heads together.

With a few muffled "bang" sounds, the two robbers were hit and felt dizzy and saw stars.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Hu used his hands and feet. His punches and kicks were powerful and each strike carried a tremendous force.

A heavy punch hit a robber's stomach, and the robber flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, knocking over some tables and chairs.

He kicked another robber in the knee, and the robber screamed and fell to his knees. The two soldiers temporarily repelled the robbers who were attacking them and stood not far away to watch.

Seeing Wang Hu so brave and beating the robbers to a pulp, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

They were originally worried that Wang Hu would take the opportunity to escape or cause trouble, but they didn't expect that he would become a capable helper in this unexpected crisis. The two smiled at each other with a bit of admiration and relief, and then quickly joined the battle and fought against the remaining bandits together with Wang Hu. For a while, the house was dusty and the battle was fierce and stalemate.

Soon, Wang Hu knocked down the bandits who were besieging him one by one with his unstoppable force.

The robbers lay all over the ground, some holding their heads and groaning in pain, while others curled up in a ball holding their stomachs, no longer having their previous arrogance.

After solving the trouble here, Wang Hu did not stop for a moment. He turned around and ran towards the two soldiers and joined their battle.

He was very agile and used both his fists and feet. Every move he made landed on the robbers accurately. In the blink of an eye, the other robbers were all knocked to the ground by him. They lay there crying and groaning in pain.

After the dust settled, one of the soldiers couldn't help but come forward and ask, "Wang Hu, how come you are so powerful? It's amazing!"

Wang Hu patted the dust off his body, looked very proud, raised his chin slightly, and said: "Humph, I have practiced since I was a child, this little thief is nothing!"

After saying this, he folded his arms across his chest and stood there. His majestic appearance made the two soldiers look at him with even more admiration.

Afterwards, the two soldiers looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to be communicating in silent language, as if they were hesitating whether to continue tying the rope around Wang Hu.

Wang Hu was so perceptive that he immediately saw through their thoughts. He sneered and said disdainfully, "Humph, if I wanted to break free from this rope, I would have done so long ago. Now, do you still think I will take the opportunity to escape? Don't think that everyone is as cowardly as you!"

The two soldiers' faces turned red and white after hearing what Wang Hu said. They smiled awkwardly and thought to themselves, it was indeed inappropriate for them to be still tangling with the rope when the other party had just helped to knock down the robbers.

So the two of them stopped paying attention to Wang Hu, sat back at the table, set up the chessboard and continued playing chess. The room temporarily returned to its previous slightly leisurely atmosphere.

Only from time to time could the sound of the robbers lying on the ground groaning in pain break the peace, as if reminding everyone of the fierce fight they had just experienced.

Liu Xiaoyu, along with several soldiers, shuttled through the secret passage with Wang Haipeng.

The secret passage was deep and dark, with only a few torches emitting faint light, barely illuminating the path under one's feet.

Wang Haipeng's steps became heavier and heavier. His forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat. He was panting, his face full of fatigue. Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Liu Xiaoyu, I'm really exhausted. Can I take a break? I don't usually walk such a long distance. My legs are almost not my own."

After saying that, he held onto the wall with his hands, bent down slightly, and tried to relieve the pain in his body.

Liu Xiaoyu looked back at Wang Haipeng's embarrassed appearance, and then looked at the soldiers around him who also looked tired. After a little thought, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a break first, but not for too long, after all, we still have to hurry on our way."

Upon hearing this, everyone found a relatively flat place to sit down. For a moment, the only sounds in the secret passage were the heavy breathing of the crowd and the occasional "crackling" sound of burning torches.

The space in the entire secret passage is extremely narrow, and people who are slightly fatter have to move sideways.

There were no signs along the way to help you find the direction.

In this depressing and difficult secret passage, Wang Haipeng's annoyance accumulated more and more, and he was already angry.

He frowned and said to Liu Xiaoyu unhappily, "Liu Xiaoyu, do you think that man is lying to us? He said that this secret passage leads to Youzhou. I don't think he is a good person. How could he lead us to this dark and blind ghost place?"

Liu Xiaoyu thought silently in her heart, since she is here, she might as well make the best of it. Since Wang Hu said there is such a secret passage, then this secret passage must have an end.

Besides, Wang Hu had no way to enter Youzhou through normal means, and this secret passage might be his only hope. From this point of view, Wang Hu should not have lied.

So Liu Xiaoyu spoke to comfort him, "Brother Wang, don't worry. We have come this far and there is no other way to turn back. Just trust him for once and try walking a little further. Maybe we can get out soon."

After hearing this, although Wang Haipeng was still reluctant, he knew there was no other way. He could only sigh helplessly and continue to follow Liu Xiaoyu in this dark and narrow secret passage.

After a while, Liu Xiaoyu saw that everyone had rested enough, so he stood up and suggested that everyone continue moving forward.

Wang Haipeng took a deep breath helplessly, gritted his teeth, and continued to move forward.

Seeing Wang Haipeng's reluctance, Liu Xiaoyu couldn't help but said, "Wang Haipeng, if you really don't want to leave, why don't you just go back? I don't want to force you."

Wang Haipeng immediately shook his head and said firmly, "We have come this far, there is no reason to give up halfway, let's keep going."

Liu Xiaoyu nodded and continued, "Actually, if you think about it this way, it's not bad to walk here. At least it's not like in the dense forest where you have to be on guard against wild animals suddenly jumping out. Here, as long as you are careful with your steps, it will be safer."

Wang Haipeng felt a little relieved after hearing this, and muttered: "I hope so. It really makes me feel uncertain."

After that, everyone started to move slowly in this narrow and dim secret passage towards the unknown front. Only the light of the torches was faintly visible in the darkness, guiding them in the direction.

After a while, Liu Xiaoyu felt that the atmosphere in this secret passage was too dull and depressing. Everyone was just busy hurrying on their way. The further they walked, the more exhausted they felt physically and mentally. It was too boring.

So, he suggested, "Just walking like this is a bit tiring and boring. Why don't we start telling stories? If we have something to do, maybe we can feel more relaxed."

When Wang Haipeng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded repeatedly, thinking that this was indeed a good idea that could help him relieve his depressed mood and physical fatigue.

"Okay, that's a good idea, let's do it!"

He readily agreed immediately.

When the other soldiers heard this, they all showed expectant expressions. For a moment, the originally dull atmosphere in the secret passage seemed to become a little more lively because of this proposal.

The three of them rode non-stop all the way. Before they knew it, the sky had darkened and the night slowly enveloped the earth like a piece of black silk.

They happened to see an inn, so they dismounted quickly and went into the inn to rest.

While having dinner in the inn, Luo Xiaoyu's eyes never left Xiaohong, and her eyes were full of tenderness and concern.

He kept picking up food for Xiaohong, and every movement was very cautious, as if Xiaohong in front of him was the most precious baby in the world.

As for Xiaohong, seeing Luo Xiaoyu's meticulous care, she did not object at all. She just blushed slightly and accepted it silently.

Xi Yu saw all of this, and couldn't help but have a variety of thoughts in his mind.

He thought to himself that if Xiaohong could really recover her memory in the future and find someone who truly loved her, that would be a good thing.

Thinking of this, Xi Yu revealed a relieved smile, then silently lowered his head and continued eating.

Luo Xiaoyu suddenly became a little nervous. He was thinking, if Xiaohong really recovered her memory, would she still look down on him?

Of course, he hasn't confessed his feelings to her yet, and she hasn't said yes to him either.

Moreover, he understood that the Prime Minister had taken a fancy to him, which made him feel even more embarrassed.

It's because I keep eating.

He also knew that he couldn't look at Luo Xiaoyu, otherwise it would make him even more embarrassed. (End of this chapter)
