"Who are you?! You are so brave!"

Zhao Guang was furious when his interest was disturbed. He turned around and glared at the person who came and shouted, "Someone come here!!"

"Are you calling him?"

Yi Huawei raised his eyebrows slightly, opened his palm, and a whip instantly appeared in his hand, swung out quickly like a snake, and accurately wrapped around Wu De's neck, who was lying at the door. Wu De's fat body was instantly tightened, his face flushed, and he subconsciously tried to grab the whip on his neck with both hands, but he couldn't grab it.

Yi Huawei's eyes flashed, and with a strong pull, Wu De's fat body was rolled up high, with his feet off the ground. Then, with another strong swing, Wu De's body was thrown into the house like a tattered sack, sliding quickly on the ground, knocking over many tables and chairs along the way. The tables and chairs fell to the ground under the impact, and some fell apart directly, with wooden fragments flying everywhere. Accompanied by the sound of "crackling" and the sound of broken porcelain, the house was immediately in a mess.

Wu De's body didn't stop until it hit the wall inside the house. He collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Yi Huawei walked slowly into the house, turned his head slightly, and looked around the chaotic scene in the house. Seeing Cai Yu's terrified and helpless look, Yi Huawei's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his eyes were fixed on Zhao Guang, and he said coldly:
"Are you Zhao Guang?"

"Help!"

Cai Yu's voice was filled with tears and trembling. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she hurriedly used her hands and feet to crawl towards Yi Huawei, staggering to hide behind Yi Huawei. Her teeth kept chattering, her lips turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice:
"Sir, please help me!"

Yi Huawei nodded slightly, and suddenly raised the whip in his hand, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air. The whip whistled and hit Zhao Guang's face fiercely.

The whip was extremely powerful. With a "snap" sound, the skin on Zhao Guang's face turned inside out instantly, and the whole person was whipped to the side. His body drew an arc in the air, and then he fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"You...you dare to hit me?...you!!"

After a long time, Zhao Guang covered his wounded face, his eyes full of disbelief and anger.

Zhao Guang glared at Yi Huawei, his voice sharp with anger: "I'm going to chop you into pieces!"

As he spoke, he tried to stand up, supporting himself with his hands, but his body was shaking from the pain, his legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground again.

"Humph,"

Yi Huawei snorted coldly: "It seems that you still don't understand the situation?"

As he said this, he swung the whip again, swinging his arm rhythmically, hitting Zhao Guang again and again.

The whip hit Zhao Guang, and every time it hit him, his body trembled violently and he screamed in pain.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, ah~~!"

Zhao Guang kept rolling on the ground, trying to avoid the whip. He held his head with both hands and curled up into a ball. He no longer had the arrogance he had before, and kept begging for mercy:
"Spare your life! Spare your life!"

At this moment, Wu De, who was lying on the ground with no idea whether he was dead or alive, suddenly coughed violently, slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes. He struggled to support his body with his arms, leaned against the wall, and gasped heavily. Looking at the scene in front of him, he was almost scared to death, and said tremblingly:
"You bold bandit, you are so bold that you actually attacked Lord Zhao. Do you know who he is? He is the younger brother of Zhao Tuo, the lieutenant of Nanhai County, and the magistrate of Sihui County. If you stop now, maybe you can still keep your body intact. Otherwise, you will be exterminated!"

"is it?"

Yi Huawei had a blank expression on his face, and he didn't even look at Wu De. The whip in his hand swung out like lightning, hitting Wu De's mouth accurately.

“Ah~~” Wu De let out a shrill scream, and subconsciously covered his mouth with his hands. His eyes were filled with shock and anger, and he cursed incoherently: “You, you lunatic, you will regret it!”

Yi Huawei turned his head and looked at Wu De with cold eyes, and swung the whip in his hand at Wu De. Wu De was so scared that he quickly shrank his head and pressed his body tightly against the wall. The whip hit the ground beside him, splashing a cloud of dust.

Yi Huawei said coldly: "You'd better not move, or you'll be the next one."

Wu De didn't dare to move anymore. He covered his mouth and still stared at Yi Huawei fiercely, but his body was stiff with fear.

Yi Huawei ignored him and continued to whip Zhao Guang with a whip. The house was filled with Zhao Guang's screams and the sound of the whip hitting flesh.

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the house, coming closer and closer. The "dong dong dong" sound was getting louder and louder. Just by listening to the sound, you could guess that there were a lot of people.

Wu De's frightened face suddenly showed ecstasy, and his swollen eyes flashed with vicious light. He stared at Yi Huawei fiercely and shouted at the top of his voice: "Our people are here, you are dead!"

As he said this, he tried to struggle to get up, but due to his severe injuries, he fell back to the ground with a painful groan.

"You really only care about food and not beatings. Let's talk about it after you can get out alive!"

Yi Huawei turned around and walked to the bedside, picked up the quilt, and gently draped it over Cai Yu. Then he pulled off the bed sheet and tore it with both hands, tearing it into several strips in an instant. He quickly tied up Zhao Guang and Wu De, tied their hands tightly, dragged them to the stairs, and then lifted them up and hung them on the beam like sacks.

After doing all this, Yi Huawei clapped his hands, sat at the stairs with a relaxed expression, and waited quietly for the officers to arrive.

Hundreds of patrolmen and police officers came running with weapons in hand. Their footsteps raised clouds of dust, and everyone's face was filled with anxiety and tension. In a blink of an eye, they surrounded the inn tightly, forming an airtight encirclement.

"Quick! Don't let the criminals go!"

"Go find the master! ...Master Zhao!!"

The officers quickly dispersed and blocked all exits of the inn. As they ran, they shouted at their companions at the top of their lungs. Various instructions and responses intertwined, making the atmosphere on the scene even more tense.

The innkeeper was the one who witnessed such a horrific incident in the store. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs went weak. He knew that if the incident got out of hand, his life and the inn he had run for many years would be ruined. So he found an opportunity, sneaked out through the back door, and informed the officer.

Upon hearing this, the officers did not dare to delay for even a second. They quickly gathered their men and rushed to the inn.

When they walked into the inn, Yi Huawei was sitting leisurely at the stairs, with a long sword firmly placed on the neck of Zhao Guang, who was beaten and bruised all over.

Seeing the officers trying to come up, Yi Huawei said calmly, "Don't move! If anyone dares to move, I will kill them immediately."

The voice was not loud, but it was chilling and chilling, causing everyone present to feel their hearts tighten and stop involuntarily.

The officers stopped instantly and looked at each other, their eyes full of hesitation and anxiety.

At this time, a chief of the police officers stood up. He was a burly man with a face full of flesh, but he could not help swallowing his saliva and said bravely: "You are courting death. Release Lord Zhao and Lord Wu immediately."

Yi Huawei said coldly: "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. I am just punishing the criminal." The chief of the police frowned, took a step forward, and raised his voice and said: "No matter what, you are now holding a court official hostage, which is a serious crime."

"Really? According to the laws of the Qin Empire, if you break the law while enforcing it, your crime will be three times more severe. It would be nice to have them accompany you on your journey to the underworld."

Yi Huawei smiled, exerted a little force on his hand, and pressed the sword tighter against Zhao Guang's neck.

Zhao Guang's body trembled violently, as if he was electrocuted. A look of fear appeared in his eyes and a "woohoo" sound of begging for mercy came from his throat. His body kept shaking and the wound bled more because of the movement.

Yi Huawei looked at the officers and said coldly, "Go find Zhao Tuo. I want to talk to him face to face."

"You want to see the county lieutenant? That's wishful thinking. If you let them go now, maybe you can get a lighter sentence."

The chief police officer tried to calm Yi Huawei down, a hint of panic in his eyes. He took a step back unconsciously and exchanged glances with the police officers around him.

Yi Huawei remained unmoved and increased the strength of his hands again. A shallow blood mark appeared on Zhao Guang's neck. Blood slowly seeped out and dripped onto the ground along the sword.

Yi Huawei said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, I have no patience. If Zhao Tuo doesn't come, these two people will die, and you won't have an easy life."

Seeing this, the officers dared not act rashly and the scene came to a stalemate.

At this time, a sound of orderly and heavy footsteps came from afar. Hundreds of county soldiers were rushing towards the inn. Wearing armor, their steps were orderly and powerful. Every step they took seemed to step on everyone's heart, making a "dong dong" sound, making the atmosphere even more tense.

The crowd that was originally watching tried to avoid it, and soon there was no ordinary citizen left on the street.

But Zhao Guang and the other man were in Yi Huawei's hands, so no one dared to act rashly. For a moment, both sides were in a stalemate.

Soon, a smart officer looked at the chief officer, got a signal, turned around and ran away, and his figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"If they dare to cross the stairs, they will die!"

Yi Huawei gave a warning, then he looked at the pale Cai Yu, whispered a few words of comfort, and ordered: "Go to the wing room and bring some refreshments."

"Yes!"

Cai Yu nodded vigorously subconsciously, his lips trembling slightly, the fear in his eyes did not diminish, but he still staggered towards the room, looking back nervously at the two parties in confrontation from time to time.

"Um?!"

When Cai Yu came out with the tea and snacks, she simply combed her hair.

Yi Huawei finally saw her appearance clearly and was stunned, his eyes fixed on Cai Yu. This woman was 90% similar to Yang Zixi, her eyebrows and features were like the ancient costume version of Yang Zixi.

Yi Huawei slowly reached out his hand to take the tea bowl and took a sip, but his eyes never left Cai Yu. He asked, "What's your name?"

Cai Yu folded her hands tightly in front of her, trying to suppress the panic in her heart. She lowered her eyes, not daring to look Yi Huawei in the eye. She bowed deeply, her voice trembling a little: "My name is Cai Yu... Thank you, thank you for saving my life!"

"do not worry!"

Yi Huawei looked at Cai Yu's nervous expression, frowned slightly, then nodded and said, "I'm here to keep you safe! Where are you from? Why are you here?"

"I am originally from Panyu. In order to build fortifications, the county lieutenant Zhao Tuo conscripted civilians, and my parents were among them. They were forced to work before dawn... My father passed away, and my mother followed him not long after..."

As Cai Yu spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and her body trembled slightly. She looked down at the ferocious-looking county soldiers who were holding weapons and had ferocious faces. Cai Yu was so scared that his face turned pale and he took a step back unconsciously.

"From what I hear you talk, you don't sound like those ordinary women." Yi Huawei's eyes flashed with curiosity, and his eyebrows raised slightly: "Can you read?"

Cai Yu bowed slightly and saluted: "To be honest, my grandfather was a minor official in the Jixia Academy. When the war broke out, my grandfather led the whole family to wander around and finally came to Panyu. When he was in the Jixia Academy, my grandfather was responsible for sorting out the classics. In his spare time, he taught the younger generation in the family to read and write. I was enlightened by my father..."

As he spoke, Cai Yu's eyes turned red again.

"Girl, please accept my condolences!"

Yi Huawei heard this and nodded slightly: "Then do you know what doctrines the Jixia Academy once had?"

Cai Yu replied in a low voice: "The Jixia Academy has Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, Legalism, Nominalism, Military Science, Agriculture, Yin and Yang, and other schools of thought. Confucianism advocates benevolence, propriety, and righteousness; Mohism advocates universal love and non-aggression; Taoism pursues the pursuit of inaction and governance... These schools of thought have their own merits..."

Yi Huawei's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "It seems that you really have some knowledge. Then let me ask you..."

The two of them started chatting back and forth, Yi Huawei kept asking questions and Cai Yu answered them cautiously.

At first, Cai Yu answered fluently, and Yi Huawei's questions did not stump her. However, as Yi Huawei's questions became more profound, Cai Yu's brows gradually furrowed, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead. Sometimes she lowered her head in thought, and sometimes she looked up at the roof, racking her brains to organize the answer, and her answer speed became slower and slower. For a while, she was immersed in the questions and answers, and completely forgot about the soldiers outside the inn.

Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened, and the night, like a piece of black silk, slowly enveloped the entire inn.

"Rumble--"

The sound of horse hooves broke the silence of the night, and the ground shook slightly, as if thousands of horses were galloping in. The teacup on the table was shaken, and some tea splashed out.

"Where is my brother!?"

A rough and angry voice exploded outside the inn, the sound was like a loud bell, making people's eardrums hurt.

"Master Zhao, young Master Zhao is still in the hands of the bandits. They are inside." The chief police officer answered in a trembling voice, his body shaking, and he could hardly hold the weapon in his hand.

"Good-for-nothings! What use are you!?"

Zhao Tuo was furious and swung his horsewhip violently, hitting the officer. The man screamed and fell to the ground.

This scream broke the atmosphere on the second floor. Cai Yu seemed to be awakened from a dream. His body shook violently, his face turned pale as paper, and his eyes were full of fear. He unconsciously grasped the armrests of the chair and looked at Yi Huawei anxiously:
"Brave man, what should we do now?" (End of this chapter)
