We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

In the early hours of the morning, the secret guards and soldiers finally returned.

They threw the three brothers directly to the ground without saying a word, and then left quietly.

Early the next morning, the sun shone on the ground, and the three brothers woke up leisurely.

They rubbed their eyes and looked around, their faces full of confusion and surprise.

One of them widened his eyes and said, "Where is this place? Why is it so strange?"

The other person also looked puzzled, scratched his head and said, "Yeah, how did we get here?"

Just when they were confused, a dark shadow flashed past, and a secret guard appeared in front of them.

He looked at them expressionlessly, his eyes so cold that they seemed to penetrate people's souls.

The second child and the eldest brother instantly became alert. The second child frowned and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He stared at the secret guard with his hands clenched in a defensive posture.

The boss, on the other hand, had a solemn face and tense muscles. He watched every move of the secret guard vigilantly, as if he was ready to respond to possible attacks at any time.

The third child looked confused, looked at the secret guard in confusion and asked, "Who are you?"

The secret guard smiled coldly, that smile was full of ridicule and disdain.

He looked at them and said, "This is the Prime Minister's Mansion. The three of you actually kidnapped Mr. Xi Zhicai. You deserve to be damned!" His voice was as cold as frost, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

The three brothers suddenly turned pale and quickly begged the secret guards for mercy.

The second child said in fear: "Sir, please let us go! We really know we were wrong!" His face was full of fear and pleading, and his body was trembling slightly.

The boss also said hurriedly: "We owed a huge debt to others and we had no choice but to take this step! Please show your kindness!"

Lao Sanye said: "We really didn't mean it. Please give us a chance! We will never dare to do it again in the future!"

The secret guard turned a deaf ear to the three brothers' pleas for mercy and took them directly into Xi Yu's room without expression.

When Xi Yu saw the three brothers appearing, his eyes flashed slightly, and he already understood something in his heart.

He looked at the secret guards, frowned slightly, and asked: "Secret guards, are they the ones who kidnapped my brother?"

At this time, Xi Yu stood there tall and straight, looking at the three brothers with sharp eyes. The expression on his face seemed a bit cold, revealing an aura of calmness and self-power.

The secret guard nodded expressionlessly, with no trace of emotion on his stern face.

When the three brothers saw this, they were immediately frightened and hurriedly knelt down towards Xi Yu, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

The second child said with a trembling voice: "Prime Minister, please spare us! We really know we were wrong!" Tears and snot ran down his face.

The boss also cried and shouted: "We really didn't kidnap Xi Zhicai on purpose, we were all forced by others! Please forgive us for our temporary confusion!"

The third child was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and said in tears: "Master Prime Minister, we really know that we were wrong and we will never dare to do it again! Please give us a way out!"

His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of fear and helplessness.

Xi Yu looked at them coldly, with a trace of determination flashing in his eyes.

He said sternly: "Although I love my people like my own son, it does not mean that I have no principles! Secret guards, execute them directly!"

His voice was cold and ruthless, making people shudder.

The secret guard immediately took the three people out.

Xi Yu's face was gloomy. After a while, several soldiers hurried over.

They lowered their heads and said with guilt on their faces: "Sir, we went to find Mrs. Ouyang, but... we found nothing. Please punish me."

Xi Yu frowned slightly, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

He was silent for a moment, and then said: "That's all, you tried your best, don't blame yourself. I know you worked hard, this is not your fault."

His eyes were looking into the distance, as if he was thinking about something.

Xi Yu stood there with a solemn expression, his eyes full of anxiety and eagerness. He ordered in a deep voice: "Go and post a notice outside, saying to look for Ouyang Linlin. Anyone who finds clues will be rewarded!"

His voice was firm and powerful, with undeniable authority.

The soldiers under his command respectfully accepted the order, and one of the soldiers said: "Yes, sir! Let's do it now!"

Xi Yu looked at the soldiers leaving, his brows furrowed, his face full of worry and expectation. He murmured to himself: "Linlin, you must be safe and sound..."

Xianbei, Lu Zhe leaned on the pillar of the tent.

Although the injuries on his body have improved a lot, his face is still a little pale.

He looked into the distance, his heart full of worries, and said to himself: "The leader went to discuss the matter, but I don't know what happened..."

As he said that, he turned to look at a fortune teller on the side and said, "Help me do the math."

The fortune teller nodded slightly and began to mutter something while turning the runes in his hand.

After a while, the fortune teller raised his head and said solemnly: "The leader's affairs are not optimistic. He may fail."

When Lu Zhe heard this, he frowned and sighed deeply. His face was full of disappointment and worry, and he said, "Oh...how could this happen..."

Then, he waved his hand and said to the fortune teller: "You can leave first."

The fortune teller bowed respectfully, turned and left.

Lu Zhe was still standing there, his eyes full of worry, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, Lu Zhe was immersed in thinking when suddenly a black figure walked into the tent quietly.

Lu Zhe was alarmed and turned his head suddenly, only to see a mysterious man dressed in black and with his face covered standing there.

Lu Zhe was shocked, frowned, and asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"

The mysterious man looked at him coldly, his eyes as cold as frost, but he didn't say a word.

Lu Zhe was heartbroken by his cold gaze.

He looked at the other person warily, leaning forward slightly, with a nervous and wary look on his face.

Lu Zhe stared closely at the man in black in front of him, feeling more and more that this man seemed familiar.

He asked again: "Who are you?"

The man in black remained silent, but slowly raised his hand and slowly took off his mask.

The moment the mask was taken off, Lu Zhe's eyes widened with an extremely shocked expression on his face.

His mouth opened so wide that it could almost fit an egg in, and he made a dry sound in his throat: "How could it be you..."

The light inside the tent was dim, and there was a dull atmosphere in the air.

Behind Lu Zhe, there were some simple items placed. Not far from him, there was a pillar with some weapons hanging on it.

At this time, Lu Zhe's eyes were completely attracted by the man in black, and his eyes were full of disbelief and surprise.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and a person wearing simple peasant woman's clothes slowly came to Ouyang's house.

The door of the mansion was wide open, and she walked in without any scruples.

When the concierge saw this, he immediately stepped forward to stop him and said with a vigilant look: "Who are you? How dare you break into Ouyang Mansion without permission!"

The peasant woman smiled slightly and said softly: "I am Ouyang Linlin."

After saying that, she reached out and slowly lifted the veil from her face, revealing her original face.

The concierge's eyes suddenly widened with disbelief on his face. He looked at the familiar face carefully and stammered: "Really...really Miss? Why...why are you dressed like this?"

Ouyang Linlin's face showed a trace of exhaustion, but her eyes shone with determination. She looked at the concierge and said, "I have some things to deal with, so don't make any noise." The concierge nodded quickly and respectfully stepped out of the way.

The concierge looked at Ouyang Linlin and said, "Xiaohong is here, miss."

Ouyang Linlin looked surprised when she heard this, and then hurried back to the room.

When Xiaohong saw Ouyang Linlin walking in, a surprised smile suddenly broke out on her face.

She rushed over and hugged Ouyang Linlin tightly, so excited that tears flowed out.

Ouyang Linlin also had red eyes.

She patted Xiaohong's back gently, her eyes full of touch and relief.

Xiaohong said with a tearful voice: "Miss, you've worried me to death!"

Ouyang Linlin wiped away the tears on Xiaohong's face and asked, "Xiaohong, how did you get here?"

Xiao Hong raised her head, looked at Ouyang Linlin, and said with sobs: "The Prime Minister offended me, so I tried every means to find this place."

Ouyang Linlin's face was full of tenderness and emotion.

She gently held Xiaohong's hand and said, "Thank you, Xiaohong."

At this time, the porter hurriedly walked in, looked at the two people hugging each other and said, "Miss, Xiaohong, you should go home. Although the prime minister was wrong to beat the lady, he is also trying to find you two, and It’s understandable that he was impulsive for his brother.”

Ouyang Linlin nodded slightly, with a hint of helplessness and relief on her face.

Xiao Hong looked dissatisfied and said angrily: "How could he do this! He should apologize to the lady!"

Ouyang Linlin took Xiaohong's hand and said softly: "Xiaohong, stop making trouble. The concierge is right. Let's go back."

The concierge also echoed: "Yes, Xiaohong, the lady is right, go back."

Xiaohong stamped her feet, still a little reluctant.

She raised her chin and said stubbornly: "We can't leave so easily, it would be too shameful! The prime minister must come to invite the young lady back!"

Ouyang Linlin frowned slightly, with a look of embarrassment on her face, and said, "Xiaohong, is this a bit too much..."

Xiaohong put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "Miss, you can't forgive him so easily! He must know that he was wrong!"

Ouyang Linlin sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, if you insist so much, then let the concierge go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report the news."

The concierge responded from the side: "Yes, Miss."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to report the message.

Xiaohong looked at Ouyang Linlin proudly and said, "Miss, this is right!"

Ouyang Linlin smiled helplessly, but her eyes were full of doting.

When Xi Zhicai heard the news of Ouyang Linlin's departure, he frowned and came to Xi Yu with a serious face.

Xi Zhicai looked at Xi Yu and said reproachfully: "Brother, you are so impulsive! How could you beat Ouyang Linlin because of your emotions?"

Xi Yu lowered his head, with a look of regret on his face. He whispered: "Brother, I know I did something wrong, and I really regret it now."

Xi Zhicai sighed and continued: "You have to know that she is innocent. What you did is really inappropriate."

Xi Yu raised his head, his eyes full of guilt, and said, "Brother, I understand that I was really impulsive and failed to control my emotions."

Suddenly, a soldier hurried in to report.

"Sir, the concierge of the Ouyang family is here and said that he has the whereabouts of Miss Ouyang Linlin!"

When Xi Yu heard this, he was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Quick! Invite people in quickly!"

After a while, the concierge was brought in.

As soon as he saw Xi Yu, he knelt down with a plop and said with guilt on his face: "Master Prime Minister, I apologize to you. I lied last night. Xiaohong was actually at Ouyang's house, but Xiaohong Don’t let me tell you.”

Xi Yu asked eagerly: "What about Ouyang Linlin? Where is she now?"

What he was more concerned about was the news about Ouyang Linlin.

The concierge said cautiously: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the lady has returned home, but...you need to go and invite her back in person."

The concierge lowered his head very low.

When Xi Yu heard this, he raised his head and laughed loudly, saying, "This is what it should be. I'll go right away!"

The concierge looked surprised. He originally thought Xi Yu would be angry, but he didn't expect him to be so cheerful.

Xi Zhicai looked at Xi Yu and said with a smile: "Brother, go quickly, don't make people wait too long."

Xi Yu nodded, turned around and strode out with a look of eagerness on his face.

In Ouyang's mansion, Ouyang Linlin asked Xiaohong with a sad face: "Xiaohong, what if my husband doesn't come?"

Xiaohong put her hands on her hips and said firmly: "Then continue to stay at Ouyang's house! Don't worry, Miss."

Ouyang Linlin frowned and said anxiously: "How can this be allowed? This is inappropriate."

Xiaohong held Ouyang Linlin's hand and said with determination: "Miss, if the Prime Minister cares about you, he will definitely come, don't worry!"

Ouyang Linlin lowered her head slightly, with a trace of hesitation on her face, but she nodded slightly.

After a while, Xiaohong suddenly heard a noise in the yard.

She turned around and saw the concierge walking slowly with Xi Yu.

She quickly told Ouyang Linlin excitedly: "Miss, look, the Prime Minister is here!"

A trace of imperceptible joy flashed across Ouyang Linlin's face, but then she straightened her face again, pretending to be angry.

Xi Yu walked in and looked at Ouyang Linlin, his face full of guilt and self-blame.

He bent deeply and apologized: "I'm sorry, madam, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have treated you like that. Please forgive me!"

His eyes were full of sincerity and regret, and there were beads of sweat hanging on his forehead.

Ouyang Linlin smiled coldly and said sarcastically: "What can you do wrong? In your heart, your eldest brother is naturally much more important than me. I was the one who was wrong."

Xi Yu quickly walked up behind Ouyang Linlin, squeezed her shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Madam, please stop fussing and be more generous."

Ouyang Linlin turned away, not looking at him, and said stubbornly: "I'm not that generous, I'm just a little woman."

Xi Yu kept moving his hands and continued to squeeze Ouyang Linlin's shoulders.

Ouyang Linlin secretly winked at Xiaohong.

Xiao Hong understood immediately and said quickly: "Miss, the Prime Minister has admitted his mistake, please forgive him."

Ouyang Linlin sighed helplessly and said, "For Xiaohong's sake, I will forgive you this time."

When Xi Yu heard this, a relieved smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"In that case, please ask Madam to go home with me."

Xi Yu walked with Ouyang Linlin and Xiao Hong on the street, and people kept saying hello to Xi Yu.

Xi Yu responded to everyone with a smile, and then said loudly: "Dear fellow villagers, I, Xi Yu, almost lost a good wife! Therefore, if husband and wife quarrel among common people, they must make peace in time, and don't regret it after losing her. Too late!”

After hearing this, Ouyang Linlin blushed slightly, as if she was a little embarrassed.

She glanced at Xi Yu secretly, then quickly lowered her head, with a hint of shyness and sweetness in her eyes.

Xiao Hong, on the other hand, covered her mouth and snickered, watching the interaction between her young lady and Xi Yu, her heart filled with joy.

As soon as Xi Yu walked into the house, he saw Xi Zhicai standing in the yard, waiting for him with a sad face.

Xi Yu walked forward, and Xi Zhicai looked at him, sighed deeply, and said, "Brother and sister, Xi Yu is not sensible. I apologize to you on his behalf. It's all because of me that you and your husband don't get along."

Ouyang Linlin lowered her head slightly, with a look of guilt on her face, and said softly: "No, uncle, it's my fault. I forgot to tell my husband what happened."

There was a bit of remorse in her eyes, and her voice was a bit low.

Xi Zhicai looked at Xi Yu and said sincerely: "We can't do this again in the future. We must treat our younger siblings well."

Xi Yu nodded and looked at Ouyang Linlin, his eyes full of guilt and pity.

Xi Yu looked at the harmonious scene in front of him, with a relieved smile on his face, and his heart was filled with joy.

He laughed heartily and said, "Haha, I'm so happy to see you like this!"

Then, he came to the yard and told the soldiers: "Hurry up and take down the announcement about looking for Ouyang Linlin outside!"

The soldiers followed the order and left.

Xi Yu looked at their backs and thought to himself: "It's finally okay. I must treat Linlin well in the future and never let her be wronged again."

Xiaohong lowered her head, twisting her clothes uneasily with her hands, and said softly with a guilty look on her face: "Prime Minister, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left just because I was angry last night."

Xi Yu smiled slightly, his face full of tolerance and indifference.

He waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I won't worry about it so much. By the way, last night, Linlin, where did you live?"

Ouyang Linlin raised her head, thought for a while and said, "I stayed at the inn last night."

There was still a little sleepiness on her face, as if she had not had a good rest last night.

Xi Yu quickly hugged Ouyang Linlin tightly, his eyes full of nervousness and worry.

It seemed as if Ouyang Linlin would disappear in the next second.

When Xiao Hong on the side saw this scene, her face showed an expression of embarrassment and loss.

She lowered her head and ran away quickly. (End of chapter)
