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

The second-rate man's face was full of tears and snot, his expression was painful and desperate, and he kept chanting: "Sir, please forgive me this time. I will change my mind and be a new person in the future."

The woman's face was filled with fear, tears welled up in her eyes, and she begged for mercy with a trembling voice: "Please, please let us go!"

She knelt on the ground, her body shaking, her eyes filled with despair and pleading.

Seeing the second-rate boy like this, Xi Yu's expression softened a little and said, "You should get up first. If you really repent, I will deal with it as appropriate."

After hearing this, the second-rate man raised his head, his eyes full of gratitude, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

As if she had received amnesty, the woman quickly kowtowed several times and kept saying: "Thank you, thank you!"

On this day, Xi Yu came to Wang Xiaoer's home.

Wang Xiaoer was busy in the yard. When he saw Xi Yu coming, he quickly put down his work and went to greet him.

Xi Yu's expression was solemn, and before Wang Xiaoer could speak, he said eagerly: "Xiaoer, I have something important to discuss with you."

Seeing Xi Yu's serious expression, Wang Xiaoer's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Prime Minister, what happened? Look how anxious you are."

Xi Yu pursed his lips tightly, looked at Wang Xiaoer firmly, and lowered his voice and said: "The crimes of the Zhenghe County Master there are unquestionable, and I have made up my mind to behead them in public, and execute them at the entrance of the village to correct the morals. , I want you to preside over this matter."

Wang Xiaoer was startled at first, his eyes widened, then an angry look appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "These two evil thieves should have met this end a long time ago! Don't worry, Mr. Prime Minister, I will fulfill my mission." !”

Xi Yu patted Wang Xiaoer on the shoulder, his eyes full of trust, and said: "Xiaoer, this matter is of great importance. It must be handled properly so that the people can get justice."

Wang Xiaoer nodded heavily and said, "Brother Xi, I understand and I will never let you down!"

At noon, the sun shines brightly on the earth, and there is no wind at all.

Xi Yu's face was stern and his eyes were as bright as fire. He stood in front of the crowd and said loudly: "Wang Xiaoer, you are in charge today. You will behead the evil-doing Li Zheng and the county magistrate at the entrance of the village so that all the villagers can see what he has done." The fate of that person!”

When Wang Xiaoer heard this, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes. He took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "Yes, sir! I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Wang Xiaoer's face was full of seriousness, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe it off.

Xi Yu put his hands behind his back, with a serious and majestic expression, and continued: "These two dog officials are bullying the people. It is unacceptable in the fish and meat village! Today, I must give an explanation to the villagers!" His loud voice echoed throughout the village, The onlookers applauded.

Wang Xiaoer turned to face Li Zheng and the county magistrate who were being escorted, glared angrily, and scolded: "Your crimes are unjust, and now is the end of you!"

Li Zheng was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs were weak, and he kept begging for mercy: "Prime Minister, please forgive me, I don't dare to do it anymore!"

The county magistrate pretended to be calm, but the fear in his eyes could not be concealed.

Wang Xiaoer snorted coldly: "It's too late to beg for mercy now! The villagers are watching, and your evil deeds will be punished!"

After that, he waved his hand and prepared to behead him.

At this moment, a woman suddenly rushed out from the crowd. She cried and shouted: "Sir, please spare the county magistrate. Although he was wrong, he was just confused for a moment!"

Xi Yu glared angrily and said sternly: "Confused? What he did has caused so many people to suffer. How can he be forgiven!"

The woman collapsed to the ground, sobbing.

Wang Xiaoer saw this and said loudly: "Don't plead for this evil thief, he deserves it!"

At this time, the county magistrate finally couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed on the ground, muttering: "I regret it. I regret that I shouldn't have..."

Wang Xiaoer ignored him and shouted loudly: "The time has come for execution!"

The executioner raised his knife and dropped it. The heads of Li Zheng and the county magistrate fell to the ground instantly. The people cheered and applauded thunderously.

Xi Yu looked at the excited crowd and said loudly: "Folks, from now on, anyone who bullies the people will definitely end up like this!"

Wang Xiaoer also said excitedly: "Our life will get better and better!"

The crowd lingered for a long time, and the light of justice shone at the entrance of this small village.

Next, Wang Xiaoer officially began to preside over the bridge repair. The construction site was busy and the migrant workers were working hard.

At this moment, Ms. Wang hurriedly came to Wang Xiaoer's side. She looked anxious and shouted loudly: "Everyone, stop first, stop!"

When Wang Xiaoer heard his mother's voice, his face was full of disbelief. He walked quickly to his mother, frowned and asked, "Mom, why do you want everyone to stop? This project is very busy!"

With a serious look on her face, Mrs. Wang said seriously: "Son, you should pray to God before starting work. Only in this way can the bridge construction be smooth and successful."

Wang Xiaoer looked helpless, but he didn't want to go against his mother's wishes, so he had to say: "Mom, we can't believe this."

Mrs. Wang glared at Wang Xiaoer and said firmly: "No, you must follow it. This is a rule passed down by our ancestors, and it cannot be broken."

Wang Xiaoer sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, mother, it's up to you."

Therefore, Wang Xiaoer began to prepare for praying to gods and Buddhas according to his mother Wang's request.

He looked reluctant and muttered: "This is a waste of time and energy." But he did not dare to stop the movement of his hands.

Wang, with a pious look on her face, carefully directed everyone to place the sacrifices and muttered something.

Her eyes were focused and determined, as if doing so would really bring good luck to the bridge repair.

Wang Xiaoer looked at his mother's serious look and couldn't help but said: "Mom, even if we pray to God and worship Buddha, this bridge will ultimately have to be repaired through our efforts and skills."

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes at him and said, "What do you know? Sincerity leads to wisdom, but you can't talk nonsense."

After the preparations were completed, Mrs. Wang took Wang Xiaoer to kneel in front of the statue, kowtow respectfully and pray.

Although Wang Xiaoer didn't really believe it, he still followed it seriously in order to reassure his mother.

After praying, Mrs. Wang breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Okay, now we can start the work. With the blessing of the gods, everything will go smoothly."

Wang Xiaoer shook his head helplessly, stood up and greeted the migrant workers to continue working, but in his heart he was thinking about repairing the bridge quickly, and proved with facts that it relied on everyone's efforts rather than praying to gods and Buddhas.

Xi Yu soon learned about this turmoil.

At this moment, Xi Yu was drinking tea leisurely in the yard, and the sun was shining on him, reflecting a golden color.

Tuobayu hurriedly walked in, with dissatisfaction on his face, and kept nagging: "This Wang family is really true, there is absolutely no need to do this! Isn't this a waste of time!"

Xi Yu put down his tea cup, frowned slightly and said, "Don't be so impatient. Let's hear the specific situation first."

Tuobayu angrily sat down on the chair next to him, folded his hands on his chest, and said, "What else can happen? For such an important thing as building a bridge, what use is there to beg God and worship Buddha? "

Xi Yu took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Maybe Wang is out of good intentions and wants to pray for peace and success."

Tuobayu's eyes widened and he raised his voice: "Good intentions? Such good intentions almost caused trouble!"

Xi Yu glanced at Tuoba Yu and said, "Okay, the matter is over. Let's see how the subsequent bridge repair progresses."

Tuobayu was still angry. He stood up and paced back and forth in the yard, muttering: "This superstitious thing can really miss important things!"

Xi Yu shook his head slightly and chuckled: "Be calm and don't be impatient. Maybe this is just a kind of psychological sustenance of the people for a long time."

Tuobayu stopped, looked at Xi Yu, and said seriously: "Sustenance? But if this sustenance affects the business, what should we do?"

Xi Yu looked at Tuobayu who was still complaining angrily. He felt that she was a little over the top and didn't want to argue with her anymore.

After saying that, Xi Yu ignored Tuoyu Yu, picked up the tea cup again, and drank tea leisurely, but there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

Tuobayu was still angry when he saw that Xiyu stopped talking to him, but he couldn't say anything more and could only sulker on the sidelines.

Another late night came quietly. In the vast wilderness of Xianbei, Hong Gang came here with a solemn expression and sat around with several shepherds, plotting.

Among these shepherds, there was one person named An Qingli who was exceptionally capable.

Hong Gang's eyes were firm and he lowered his voice and said: "In a few days, we will be ready to take action!"

When An Qingli heard this, he frowned and said without hesitation: "No!"

When Hong Gang heard this, his eyes widened with anger, veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted loudly: "Why not?"

An Qingli was not frightened by Hong Gang's anger. He looked calm and said calmly: "Brother Hong Gang, don't worry, I want to talk to you alone."

After saying that, he gave Hong Gang a meaningful look.

So, the two people came to a separate corner.

Hong Gang was still very angry. He clasped his hands on his chest, his face was livid, his eyes were fixed on An Qingli, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Why did you stop me? Are you afraid?"

An Qingli took his time. He patted Hong Gang's shoulder gently, his eyes were calm and firm, and he said slowly: "Brother Hong Gang, don't be so impulsive. Please listen to me slowly."

Hong Gang gasped, his chest heaving violently, and roared: "I won't listen! The plan has been prepared for a long time, how can it be stopped just now!"

An Qingli frowned slightly, raised his voice and said, "Brother Hong, calm down first! How can you achieve such a big deal if you are so impatient?"

When Hong Gang heard this, his body trembled slightly. The anger in his eyes gradually subsided, but he was still a little unwilling. He said in a low voice: "Okay, then tell me quickly!"

An Qingli breathed a sigh of relief, looked into the distance, and spoke slowly...

Hong Gang frowned and listened to the other party's words with a gloomy expression.

When he heard the key point, his tense face gradually showed some signs of relaxing, and his face gradually looked better.

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Okay, I will obey you."

An Qingli smiled slightly and said comfortingly: "Just don't worry, I promise nothing will go wrong."

Hong Gang raised his head and looked at An Qingli. The doubts in his eyes were slightly reduced, but he was still a little uneasy. He said, "Well... in that business, there must be no mistakes."

An Qingli nodded vigorously and looked directly at Hong Gang with piercing eyes, as if to give him enough confidence with his own eyes.

Soon, Hong Gang rode away in the dust, and the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away in the night. After a while, he returned to the camp.

As soon as he entered the camp, Hong Gang saw that Tuoba Tianlong had not fallen asleep, but was standing outside alone, looking up at the stars. Hong Gang walked forward quickly and asked with concern: "Chief, why don't you rest?"

Tuoba Tianlong stared at the bright starry sky with deep eyes, his face full of solemnity, and said slowly: "I am thinking about Xianbei's future, and I am so worried that I can't sleep."

Hong Gang frowned slightly, looked at Tuoba Tianlong's slightly tired but still determined face, and said softly: "Don't worry too much, leader, there will always be a way."

Tuoba Tianlong let out a long sigh and turned his head, with firmness and persistence in his eyes: "Xianbei's future is tied to me, how can I not worry about it?"

Hong Gang felt the heaviness in Tuoba Tianlong's words, nodded solemnly, and said no more words.

Hong Gang stood quietly beside Tuoba Tianlong. After a long time, he whispered: "Chief, you have put so much effort into it, and everyone in the clan can see it. I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely give Xianbei a bright future." ”

Tuoba Tianlong nodded slightly, still looking into the distance, and murmured to himself: "I hope so, but the road ahead is long, and I don't know how many difficulties and obstacles we have to go through."

His brows were furrowed, his expression full of worry.

Hong Gang clenched his fists and said firmly: "Chief, no matter what, I, Hong Gang, will follow you, through fire and water, no matter what!"

Tuoba Tianlong turned his head and looked at Hong Gang, with a touch of touch and relief in his eyes. He reached out and patted Hong Gang's shoulder heavily: "Good brother, with your words, I feel at ease."

The night got deeper, the cool breeze blew by, and the two figures looked more determined in the moonlight.

On the other side, Tuobayu and Xiyu cuddled up tightly and slept together.

Tuobayu frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes full of worry. She turned over, faced Xi Yu, and whispered, "Husband, I'm a little scared. What if someone comes to burn the house down again?"

Xi Yu stretched out his hand and gently smoothed Tuobayu's frown. He looked at her gently but firmly and comforted her softly: "You don't have to worry. I'm here and I won't let this happen again."

Tuobayu bit his lip, but there was still uneasiness in his eyes: "But..."

Xi Yu hugged Tuobayu into his arms, rested his chin on her head, and said in a calm tone: "Believe me, there are secret guards here."

Tuobayu nodded slightly in Xi Yu's arms, his expression gradually relaxed, but his hands still clutched Xi Yu's clothes unconsciously.

Xi Yu felt Tuobayu's uneasiness, patted her back gently, and said softly: "Go to sleep, have a good sleep, everything will be fine when you wake up tomorrow."

Tuobayu raised his head slightly, looked into Xi Yu's eyes, and said with a hint of timidity: "You must guard me."

Xi Yu nodded, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't leave even half a step."

Tuobayu slowly closed his eyes, but his long eyelashes were still trembling slightly.

Xi Yu just held her quietly, his eyes never leaving her for a moment.

After a while, Tuobayu's breathing gradually stabilized, and his hands slowly loosened Xi Yu's clothes.

Xi Yu carefully covered her with a quilt, kissed her gently on the forehead, and then closed his eyes, preparing to sleep with her.

On the other side, under the hazy sky, the temple where Ouyang Linlin was located was immersed in heavy silence.

Today, Master Wuyou looked solemn, and with the help of a group of monks, he had just buried the old monk.

In the courtyard of the temple, a low tomb was piled up with freshly turned soil, surrounded by scattered bouquets of white chrysanthemums, swaying gently in the breeze.

On the ancient trees in the yard, a few crows were croaking, and the sound was particularly sad in the silent atmosphere.

Wuyou presided over the ceremony with his hands clasped together, his eyebrows lowered, and his mouth silently chanting sutras. His face was full of exhaustion and sadness, his brows were knitted together, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to be a little deeper.

The entire temple was filled with an atmosphere of depression. The smoke curled up from the incense burner, but it could not dispel the depressing atmosphere. …

Xiaohong stayed alone in the room, feeling as depressed as the gloomy sky outside the window.

She paced back and forth in the room boredly, complaining in her mind: This damn temple is always trapped in such a ghost place!

Every day we face the same old Buddha statues and the same dull bells, and our life is lifeless.

The outside world is so wonderful, but you can only waste your time here. When will these boring days end?

Early the next morning, sunlight poured into the house through the window lattice.

Xi Yu slowly opened his eyes, and Tuobayu beside him also stretched and sat up.

Tuobayu blinked his sleepy eyes, with a look of expectation on his face, and said, "Husband, let's get up and go out for a walk."

Xi Yu looked at her energetic look, smiled, nodded, and said, "Okay."

After the two of them had finished packing, Tuobayu tilted his head, thought for a while and asked, "Husband, should we go see the bridge repairs?"

Xi Yu frowned slightly and said with determination: "No need, since it has been handed over to Wang Xiaoer, you must trust him. There is a saying that is good, don't be suspicious when you employ people, don't use them when you are suspicious."

Tuobayu pursed his lips and nodded thoughtfully, "Well, what you said makes sense."

At the same time, Xi Yu gently held Tuobayu's hand and said seriously: "Actually, if I went to the scene, some migrant workers might feel very nervous. Think about it, they were doing a good job. Yes, when I go, they feel pressure and are prone to making mistakes.”

Tuobayu bit her lower lip lightly, thought for a moment and then said: "Okay, I'll listen to you." (End of Chapter)
