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

Xiyu gently pushed open the door of the office, and saw the boss bending over and wiping the table carefully.

He walked forward with a concerned look on his face and asked, "Brother, are you sober?"

The boss stood up, turned his head to look at Xiyu, and said with a slightly tired smile, "Although I was drunk last night, I can still remember your advice to me."

Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and said, "Then have you really thought it through?"

The boss patted Xiyu on the shoulder, his eyes firm, and said sincerely, "Don't worry, I will definitely think it through. After this experience, I also understand a lot."

Xiyu smiled with relief on his face and said, "Brother, it's great that you think so. I always believe that you can overcome this hurdle."

The morning sun shone in the inn, and Xiyu and Tuoba Yu were eating breakfast quietly.

At this time, a haggard woman stumbled into the inn.

Her eyes were red and swollen, tears kept falling from her cheeks, and she was sobbing.

The man sitting at the table was furious when he saw her. He stood up suddenly, pointed at her and cursed: "You woman, didn't you leave me? Why did you come here?"

His face turned red, veins on his forehead bulged, and he was so angry that he seemed to want to eat someone.

Xi Yu put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, looked at the two people curiously, and then he suddenly realized and whispered to Tuoba Yu: "So this is the woman who left the man."

Tuoba Yu frowned, and a trace of sympathy appeared in his eyes.

The woman cried even more sadly, choking and saying, "I... I have nowhere to go."

The man snorted coldly, his face full of disdain and anger: "Humph, you left so resolutely at the beginning, and now you know to come back to find me?"

The woman wiped her tears with her sleeves and said in a trembling voice: "I know I was wrong, life outside is too hard."

The man folded his hands in front of his chest, looked at her coldly, and said: "Do you think this is a place where you can come and go as you please?" His eyes were full of resentment and determination.

Xi Yu couldn't help but stand up and said, "Brother, don't be so angry first, listen to what the sister-in-law says."

The man glared at Xi Yu and roared, "This is my family affair, it's not your turn to interfere!"

Tuoba Yu also came over and persuaded, "Everyone should be calm and solve the problem properly."

The woman looked at the man pitifully and begged, "I really know I was wrong. I will live a good life with you in the future. Please give me another chance."

The man's face eased a little, but he still turned his head away and didn't look at the woman.

The woman slowly came to the man, with a hint of pleading and expectation in her eyes.

She tiptoed slightly, put her lips gently next to the man's ear, and whispered a few words.

After listening, the man was stunned at first, his face full of surprise and disbelief. He turned his head and stared at the woman, and asked eagerly, "Is it true?"

The woman nodded heavily, her eyes full of determination.

The man frowned, locked his eyes with the woman's, and said sternly: "You'd better not lie to me, otherwise I will never forgive you again."

Soon, Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu finished their meal and left the inn in a hurry.

After walking a few steps, a black shadow suddenly flashed out from the side and blocked their way.

Xi Yu frowned, his face full of anger, and he scolded loudly: "How dare you! How come you show up without my permission?"

The secret guard knelt on one knee, looking nervous, and hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, calm down, it's really a big thing, I have to show up."

Xi Yu crossed his arms and asked suspiciously: "Why are you so flustered?"

The secret guard lowered his voice and said: "I just overheard what the woman said to the man."

Xi Yu's eyes were stern, and he asked anxiously: "Tell me, what did they say?"

The secret guard swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "Master, the woman told the man that the reason she betrayed her husband and got along with other men was for a treasure. She did this on purpose to trick the man, and now she knows that the treasure is at the top of Qixing Mountain."

Xi Yu widened his eyes, his face full of astonishment, and said in disbelief: "Is this true?"

Tuoba Yu was also surprised and frowned.

Xi Yu stared at the secret guard sharply and asked, "Are you sure you heard it clearly?"

The secret guard nodded quickly and said confidently, "Master, I heard it clearly, without any mistake."

Xi Yu pondered for a moment, his face became solemn, and he said, "This matter is very serious, so don't make it public for now."

Hearing this, the secret guard immediately bowed his head respectfully and replied, "Yes, Master!" Then he quickly retreated and disappeared into the shadows.

Xi Yu turned to look at Tuoba Yu, his expression serious, and said: "Decades ago, the court had a rule that if anyone in the folks found a treasure, it must be returned to the court and could not be kept by themselves, so I had to interfere."

Tuoba Yu nodded slightly, his eyes showing understanding, and said: "I understand, this is a matter of national law and cannot be taken lightly."

Xi Yu frowned, his eyes full of determination, and said: "Yes, if they are allowed to embezzle the treasure, it will not only violate the national law, but may also cause many disasters."

Tuoba Yu bit his lip lightly and said worriedly: "But this matter may not be so easy, we need to be careful."

Xi Yu consoled him: "Don't be afraid, as long as we follow the national laws, we will be able to handle it properly."

Tuobayu looked at Xi Yu, with questioning eyes, and asked eagerly: "Husband, are we going to Qixing Mountain next?"

Xi Yu nodded without hesitation and replied firmly: "Yes, I must go."

Tuobayu took a deep breath and said, "Then we must quickly find out where the Seven Star Mountain is."

Xi Yu looked around, his eyes fell on a street vendor, and said, "Let's go and ask him first."

The two walked quickly to the stall, and Xi Yu said politely: "Brother, do you know where Qixing Mountain is?"

The vendor raised his head, looked them up and down, scratched his head and said, "I've heard of Qixing Mountain, but I'm not sure about the exact location. You can ask the innkeeper over there. He travels all over the world. Maybe you know."

Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu looked at each other, thanked the vendor, and walked towards the inn.

Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu hurried to the inn. Xi Yu asked the shopkeeper expectantly: "Shopkeeper, could you please tell us where Qixing Mountain is?"

The shopkeeper stopped fiddling with the abacus, raised his head, squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "Qixing Mountain, that place is not easy to find. It is in the southwest of the city, dozens of miles away from here. And the mountain road is rugged. , it’s not easy to walk.”

Tuoba Yu looked troubled and said, "Are there dozens of miles? Is there a shortcut?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "There is no shortcut, but you can go faster if you ride a horse."

Xi Yu cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you very much, shopkeeper, for your advice."

The two left the inn and rode horses towards Qixing Mountain.

Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu quickly found the horses, climbed on them, and prepared to set off.

Tuobayu tightened the reins, looked ahead, and said, "Xi Yu, I don't know what we will encounter when we go to Qixing Mountain. We have to be careful."

Xi Yu's eyes were firm and he said, "Don't worry, no matter what, we will definitely complete our mission."

Along the way, the two of them raced at high speed.

Amidst the flying dust, Tuobayu's hair was blown by the wind. She said loudly: "Husband, at our speed, can we make it before dark?"

Xi Yu replied: "Try your best. If you can't make it, you can only find a place to rest on the way."

As evening approached, the two of them were still on their way. Tuobayu's face was full of exhaustion and she said: "Husband, I feel that the horse is also tired. Why don't you find a place to rest first?"

Xi Yu looked around, pointed to a ruined temple not far away, and said, "Let's go to that ruined temple to rest for a night, and then continue our journey tomorrow."

The two came to the ruined temple, tied up the horses, and Tuobayu found a clean place to sit down.

Xi Yu walked to the door, looked at the gradually darkening sky, and said, "No matter what, we must not let the treasure fall into the hands of lawless people."

Night had completely fallen, and the ruined temple looked eerie. Tuobayu unconsciously leaned closer to Xi Yu, and said with a trembling voice: "Husband, this place feels eerie, isn't there anything unclean?"

Xi Yu comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." He picked up some dry firewood and lit a fire.

As the fire light jumped, Tuobayu's face looked a little better.

She said softly: "I don't know what will be waiting for us when we arrive at Qixing Mountain."

Xi Yu added some firewood to the fire and said thoughtfully: "No matter what it is, we have to deal with it. As long as we work together, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Tuobayu nodded and crossed his arms tightly.

After a while, Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu tidied up briefly and mounted their horses again.

Half an hour later, I saw a strange-shaped mountain range in the distance. Tuobayu shouted excitedly: "Husband, look, is that Qixing Mountain?"

Xi Yu squinted his eyes and said, "That should be it. Let's speed up."

At the foot of the mountain, the two dismounted and looked at the steep mountain. Xi Yu said, "It seems that the road on this mountain is not easy to walk. Let's be careful."

Tuobayu responded: "Well, you walk in front and I will follow you."

They climbed up the rugged mountain road. Suddenly, a wild boar jumped out of the woods next to them.

Tuobayu's eyes instantly became determined. She held the dagger in her hand tightly, took a step towards the wild boar, and said loudly: "Husband, you hide aside, I will deal with this beast!"

Xi Yu looked worried and shouted: "Yu'er, be careful! This wild boar is very ferocious!"

Tuobayu gritted his teeth, stared at the wild boar, and said sternly: "Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself!"

At this time, Tuoba Yu's eyebrows stood upright, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, but he showed no intention of flinching.

The wild boar roared low at Tuobayu. Tuobayu was not afraid at all, but roared angrily: "Come on, you beast! Look, I won't deal with you today!"

The wild boar was angered by Tuobayu's momentum and rushed toward her.

Tuobayu dodged sideways and nimbly avoided the wild boar's attack. At the same time, he quickly swung the dagger in his hand and made a shallow gash on the wild boar's body.

The wild boar was in pain and attacked even more crazily. Tuobayu was breathing heavily, but his eyes were filled with stubbornness and determination, and he shouted loudly: "I'm not afraid of you!"

Xi Yu was worried and shouted loudly: "Yu'er, be careful!"

Tuobayu dodged the wild boar's collision again, saw the right moment, and kicked the wild boar in the abdomen.

The wild boar staggered a few steps, turned around and pounced again angrily.

Tuobayu's face was covered with sweat and her hair was a little messy, but her eyes were still firm and she shouted: "Today is the day you die!"

The wild boar pounced on Tuoyuyu again, but Tuoyuyu rolled and narrowly avoided it.

She stood up quickly, and before the wild boar could adjust its posture, she rushed forward and stabbed the wild boar's hind legs with a dagger.

The wild boar screamed and moved slowly. Tuobayu took advantage of the situation and pursued him, shouting while attacking: "Beast, let's see how long you can continue to be arrogant!"

After a fierce struggle, the wild boar finally lost strength and fell to the ground.

Tuobayu also sat down tiredly, but with a victorious smile on his face, he said: "Finally we have solved this guy."

Xi Yu hurried over and said with concern: "Yu'er, are you okay?"

Tuobayu smiled weakly and said, "Fortunately, you are here to cheer me up. Let's continue going up the mountain."

Xi Yu helped Tuobayu stand up and said, "You should rest for a while, don't be anxious."

Tuobayu waved his hand and said, "It's okay. We've wasted a lot of time. Let's go up the mountain quickly."

The two continued walking up the mountain, and the mountain road became increasingly steep and difficult to navigate.

Tuobayu's steps were a little heavy, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.

Suddenly, Tuobayu slipped and almost fell.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Xi Yu grabbed her and said worriedly: "Be careful, this road is too difficult."

Tuobayu stabilized his figure and said, "I'm fine, let's continue."

After walking for a while, Tuobayu looked at the almost vertical hillside in front of him, frowned, and said, "How to go up here?"

Xi Yu looked around and said, "Don't be afraid. I'll climb up first and then find a vine to pull you up."

With that said, Xiyu began to climb carefully, while Tuobayu watched him nervously from below.

Finally, Xi Yu climbed to the top of the slope. He put down the vines and shouted, "Yu'er, grab the vines and I'll pull you up."

Tuobayu clung to the vine tightly, and with Xiyu's help, he finally climbed to the top of the slope.

The two looked at each other and smiled, continuing to move deeper into Qixing Mountain.

After a while, Xi Yu's ears suddenly twitched, his brows furrowed, and he said alertly: "Shh, there is a sound!"

With that said, he quickly took Tuobayu's hand and ran nervously to a small room not far ahead.

After the two of them hid in the house, they quietly approached the window and looked out cautiously.

Tuobayu covered her mouth and almost screamed, Xi Yu quickly covered her mouth and signaled her to be quiet.

They saw the familiar man and woman walking towards them.

Xi Yu lowered his voice and said, "It's them, what a coincidence."

Tuobayu nodded and opened his eyes wide.

Xi Yu frowned, staring at the two people outside, and whispered: "Let's see what they want to do first."

Tuobayu pursed his lips and stared outside intently.

The man frowned, his face full of worry, he looked around warily, and said, "I'm always not at ease, so it's better to look around."

The woman rolled her eyes and said impatiently: "This mountain is so difficult to walk, who would come here at this time? You are just too suspicious."

The man glared at the woman and said seriously: "It is better to be cautious when sailing a thousand-year-old ship. Let me ask you again, have you told anyone else this secret?"

The woman looked aggrieved and said anxiously: "Oh, how many times have I told you, how is it possible? How could I tell others about such a good thing!"

The man's face was instantly filled with a flattering smile. He came close to the woman and coaxed her in a soft voice: "My dear, it's all my overthinking. Don't be angry. I feel so bad if you are so angry."

The woman turned her face to the side, snorted coldly and said, "Don't say anything anymore, just hurry up and find the treasure."

The man nodded quickly and asked with a flattering look on his face: "Where is the specific location?"

The woman rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "Don't be nagging, just follow me." After saying that, she walked forward.

The man did not dare to say any more and followed the woman obediently. There was both a desire for treasure and a little fear of women in his eyes.

The woman walked with her head held high, her face full of confidence and eagerness.

As he walked, the mountain road became more and more rugged. The man stumbled and almost fell.

The woman looked back at him with disgust and said, "Look at how clumsy you are, walk faster!"

The man quickly stabilized his figure and said with an apologetic smile: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault for not being careful."

After walking for a while, the man couldn't help but ask again: "How far is it?"

The woman replied impatiently: "You are the only one who talks a lot. Just follow along. You will know when we get there."

The man had no choice but to shut up, silently speed up his pace, and follow the woman closely.

The two of them continued to travel through the forest. The man's breathing became heavier and heavier, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

He couldn't help but speak again: "How about we take a break, I really can't walk anymore."

The woman stopped, turned her head and glared at him, scolding: "That's all you have to offer! It's coming soon, keep at it."

The man nodded helplessly, gritted his teeth and moved on.

Suddenly, the woman stopped, with a look of confusion on her face, and said to herself: "Strange, I remember it seems to be over here."

When the man heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he said anxiously: "Don't get the wrong way. If we can't find it, we'll have made a wasted trip."

The woman glared at him and said: "Shut up and let me think about it."

The woman stood there, frowning, trying to recall the route.

The man paced back and forth anxiously, looking up from time to time.

After a while, the woman's eyes lit up and she said: "I remember, it should be this way."

As she said that, she continued to walk forward with the man. (End of this chapter)
