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

The soldier frowned and said impatiently: "What are you waiting for! Prepare some hot food for us!"

The waiter nodded quickly and bowed, and replied with a trembling voice: "Okay... okay, I'll go right now. Master, please wait a moment."

After saying that, he ran towards the kitchen in a hurry, his steps were so panicked that he almost fell over.

After a while, Guan Yu ate and fell asleep.

Zhao Qiang and several soldiers walked slowly outside the inn. Zhao Qiang's face was pale, his brows were furrowed, his expression was particularly ugly, and his lips were trembling slightly.

A soldier comforted him: "Brother Zhao, don't be too scared, we are all still alive."

Zhao Qiang let out a long sigh, his voice trembling: "It was really dangerous today, I almost died there."

Another soldier also echoed: "Yes, fortunately there is no danger, we can be considered lucky."

Zhao Qiang raised his head, looked at the night sky, and said with lingering fear: "You have to be more careful in the future. You only have one life."

Several soldiers nodded one after another, with slightly solemn expressions.

Next, Zhao Qiang gritted his teeth, a flash of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and said angrily: "I can't swallow this breath, and the matter can't just be let go!"

Several soldiers followed Zhao Qiang farther and farther while talking in low voices.

Zhao Qiang suddenly stopped and said viciously: "I want to take revenge on Guan Yu!"

When several soldiers heard this, they were all startled, with frightened looks on their faces.

One of the soldiers widened his eyes and said quickly: "Zhao Qiang, you can't do this, Guan Yu is not easy to mess with!"

Zhao Qiang turned his head, stared at them, and said eagerly: "We are all our good friends, are you willing to help me?" His eyes were full of expectation and a hint of threat.

The soldiers looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

Zhao Qiang looked gloomy and said to several soldiers: "If you don't regard yourself as a brother, then tell Guan Yu this and pretend you didn't say it." There was a hint of determination and anger in his eyes.

Several people saw this and rushed to comfort him. One of them said eagerly: "Brother Zhao, what are you talking about? How could we betray you?"

Another soldier also echoed: "That's right, we are of the same mind."

At this time, another soldier said: "This Guan Yu is indeed too annoying. It's okay to take revenge. Brother Zhao, what do you have in mind?" His face was full of anticipation and eagerness.

Zhao Qiang looked around and lowered his voice and said, "That's what I thought."

Soon, night arrived, and the dark sky was dotted with stars.

Zhao Qiang and a few soldiers stood up quietly, their figures looking furtive under the dim moonlight.

Zhao Qiang's eyes were full of nervousness and excitement, and he lowered his voice and said, "Brothers, be careful, don't make any noise."

Several soldiers nodded one after another, and one of them tightened the weapon in his hand and responded in a low voice: "Don't worry, Brother Zhao."

They tiptoed toward the place where the treasure was stored, and the sound of their heartbeats seemed to be particularly clear in the silent night.

They carefully avoided patrolling guards and took every step with extreme caution.

A soldier accidentally kicked a stone and made a "Gulu" sound, and everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats.

Zhao Qiang quickly turned around, made a silent gesture, and shouted in a low voice: "Be careful!"

The soldier looked guilty and nodded repeatedly.

Finally, they came to the house where the treasure was stored. Zhao Qiang pushed the door gently and found that it was locked from the inside.

"What can we do?" a soldier asked anxiously.

Zhao Qiang frowned, thought for a moment and then said: "Look for a window to go in."

They managed to find an unlocked window and quietly climbed into the house.

In the darkness, they quickly found the treasure with the help of the weak candlelight they had prepared in advance.

Several people were so excited that they hurriedly put the treasures into bags prepared in advance.

Zhao Qiang lowered his voice and urged: "Move quickly, don't delay!"

After loading the treasure, they carefully returned the same way.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter many obstacles along the way and they escaped from the camp smoothly.

Guan Yu and others had no idea that the treasure in the camp had been stolen.

Early the next morning, when the soldiers guarding the treasure found the house empty, they panicked.

"No, Governor, the treasure is missing!" the soldier hurriedly reported to Guan Yu.

When Guan Yu heard this, his expression changed drastically and he shouted angrily: "What? How could this happen? Send someone to investigate immediately!"

However, at this time, Zhao Qiang and the soldiers had already fled and disappeared.

The whole camp was in a state of tension and chaos.

Zhao Qiang and the others ran all the way with the treasure and found a remote cave to hide temporarily.

"Haha, we really made a lot of money this time!" A soldier said excitedly, his eyes full of greed.

Zhao Qiang frowned and said seriously: "Don't be too happy yet, Guan Yu will definitely not give up. We have to find a safer place as soon as possible."

"Brother Zhao, where should we go next?" another soldier asked.

Zhao Qiang pondered for a moment and said: "Go south. The terrain there is complicated and it is easy to avoid pursuit."

So, after taking a short rest, they continued their escape with the treasure.

Along the way, they ate and slept in the open and did not dare to slack off at all. But the weight of the treasure also made their journey very difficult.

"This thing is too heavy, why don't we throw some away?" a soldier suggested.

Zhao Qiang glared at him and said: "No, we all paid for this with our lives. No matter how hard and tired we are, we have to carry it with us."

After a while, Guan Yu realized that Zhao Qiang and others were missing.

His face instantly turned livid, his brows furrowed, his eyes widened with anger, and he cursed fiercely: "Damn it! It seems that the lost treasure must have something to do with them. Zhao Qiang should have been killed yesterday, but he didn't expect him He is so evil."

The deputy general beside him said cautiously: "Calm down the governor, the top priority now is to find their whereabouts as soon as possible and recover the treasure."

Guan Yu snorted coldly: "Give me the order to increase the search intensity. Even if we turn this area hundreds of miles upside down, we must find them out!"

The lieutenant clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Governor!"

Guan Yu gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and said to himself: "Zhao Qiang, you can never escape my grasp!"

Guan Yu was furious and paced back and forth in the camp, "This Zhao Qiang, who usually seems quite honest, actually did such a treacherous thing!"

The counselor on the side stroked his beard and said: "Prince, please don't get too angry or hurt yourself. In my opinion, this Zhao Qiang must have had a premeditated plan."

Guan Yu stopped suddenly, stared and said, "I, Guan Yu, treat him well, but he actually repays kindness with hatred like this!"

At this time, a soldier came to report: "The governor has not found any trace of the treasure."

Guan Yu waved his hand, "Keep looking! Send more people and expand the scope!"

The soldiers were ordered to retreat.

The counselor thought for a moment and said: "Provincial Governor, maybe Zhao Qiang and the others have someone to support them. We need to take a long-term approach."

Guan Yu's eyes were firm, "No matter what, I will bring them to justice and recover the treasure!"

On the other side, Zhao Qiang and others were also on tenterhooks on their way to escape.

"Zhao Qiang, do you think Guan Yu can let us go?" a soldier asked in a panic.

Zhao Qiang said with a gloomy face, "Don't worry so much, escape first."

"But I was scared along the way. I was really scared..." the soldier's voice trembled.

"What are you afraid of! Wealth can be found in danger. As long as we can avoid this disaster, we will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future!" Zhao Qiang roared.

Everyone remained silent and continued on their way.

Guan Yu failed to find the treasure in the end. He was furious, and his majestic red face turned purple with anger.

He waved his arms angrily and shouted loudly: "Trash! A bunch of trash! Can't even find anyone!"

The soldiers around him lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.

The more Guan Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. He raised his hand and slapped himself hard several times. "Pah! Pah!" A crisp sound echoed in the air.

His eyes widened, full of regret and anger: "I, Guan Yu, have been famous all my life, but I made such a big mistake! Now, if the Prime Minister finds out, why don't you kill my head?"

At this time, a deputy general bravely stepped forward and persuaded: "General, don't blame yourself so much. Let's think of a solution."

Guan Yu turned his head suddenly and shouted angrily: "What else can be done? It was all my negligence that allowed Zhao Qiang to take advantage of him!"

The deputy general was so frightened that he took a few steps back and did not dare to speak. Guan Yu paced back and forth in place, his heart filled with anxiety and fear.

Guan Yu frowned, took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said, "In that case, continue on your way! Don't tell anyone about the lost treasure yet."

His eyes swept over everyone majestically, with unquestionable determination in his eyes.

The soldiers responded in unison: "Yes, Governor!"

Guan Yu bit his lip and said to himself solemnly: "This matter is important. I want to discuss with Brother Liu Bei how to solve it."

He got on his horse, held the reins tightly, and said to the lieutenant: "Speed ​​up the journey without making any mistakes!"

The deputy general cupped his hands and said: "Yes, Governor!"

Guan Yu flicked his riding whip and ran forward first, his horse's hooves raising clouds of dust.

The team continued on their way under the leadership of Guan Yu, with the rapid sound of horse hooves raising smoke and dust all the way.

Guan Yu frowned and looked ahead firmly, the anxiety in his heart not diminishing at all.

The lieutenant beside him couldn't help but said: "Provincial Governor, all the brothers are worried about the treasure on this journey..."

Guan Yu turned his head suddenly and glared angrily: "Shut up! Don't mention this matter again. When you see big brother, you will make your own decision!"

The deputy general was so frightened by Guan Yu's momentum that he did not dare to say any more.

The team was moving forward with difficulty under the scorching sun. Guan Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself: "Brother, Yu made a big mistake this time and I don't know what to do."

After traveling for several more days, they still had not reached Fangjun. When camping at night, Guan Yu sat alone in the tent, with candlelight flickering, reflecting his solemn face.

A confidant walked into the camp and said softly: "Provincial Governor, our brothers are all very tired. I'm afraid we can't go any faster at this speed."

Guan Yu sighed: "I don't know, but if the news of the lost treasure spreads, the consequences will be disastrous."

The henchman nodded silently and retreated.

Guan Yu looked at the starry sky outside the camp and murmured to himself: "Brother, Brother Yu hopes to see you soon and give me some advice."

Chen Shou's family.

The next day, several scoundrels came here to collect debts.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Chen Shou sitting on a stone bench and concentrating on reading.

The leader of the gangsters tilted his head, glanced sideways at Chen Shou, and shouted viciously: "Chen Shou, pay your debt quickly!"

Chen Shou said coldly: "You used special means to make my father owe so much, all because of your unreasonable troubles!" His eyes were full of anger and unyielding.

When the scoundrels heard this, they became furious and began to insult him.

"Little bastard, you dare to say that we are making trouble unreasonably, you are tired of living!" The leading rogue pointed at Chen Shou's nose, spittle flying everywhere.

"That's right, repaying debts is a matter of course! Don't try to get away with it today!" Another scoundrel yelled at the top of his voice, with the flesh on his face shaking constantly.

"You shameless people, don't think that I don't know what you are doing!" Chen Shou clenched his fists and glared angrily.

The scoundrels became even more arrogant, and all kinds of dirty words were heard endlessly.

"Humph, boy, if you don't pay back the money today, you'll have something to look at!"

"What nonsense are you talking to him about? Just move all his valuables away!"

At this moment, Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu walked out side by side.

Xi Yu frowned and asked loudly: "What are you doing?"

The scoundrels looked at them sideways, and one of them said arrogantly: "Boy, stop meddling in other people's business!"

Another scoundrel also shouted: "Just don't ask for trouble!"

Xi Yu sneered, took a step forward, and said, "In broad daylight, you are so barbaric. Is there any way to do this?"

The gangsters looked at each other, and the leader of the gangsters said fiercely: "Wang Fa? Here, I am Wang Fa!"

Tuobayu stood next to Xi Yu with a stern face and said, "Aren't you afraid of being punished for being so arrogant?"

The scoundrels burst into laughter: "Punishment? Haha, just you two young boys?"

Xi Yu looked sharply at the leader of the gangsters and said in a firm tone: "You should pay back your debts, but you have to be fair. If you use unfair means to force debts, don't blame us for intervening."

The scoundrels were calmed down by Xi Yu's momentum for a moment, but soon returned to their arrogant appearance.

"Huh, fair? We have the final say here!" A scoundrel said, waving his fist.

Tuobayu snorted coldly: "Then let's wait and see. I want to see how long you can run rampant."

When the gangsters saw this, they became even more angry and surrounded them one after another, as if they were going to take action.

Seeing that the scoundrels were still arrogant and unwilling to give up, Tuobayu snorted coldly, flashed his figure, and took the initiative to face the scoundrels.

"Those who don't know whether to live or die, I will let you taste the pain today!" Tuobayu shouted angrily, with a sharp light in his eyes.

The leader of the gangsters swung his fists at Tuobayu and cursed: "If you dare to meddle in other people's business, I won't beat you up!"

Tuobayu easily dodged by turning sideways, and with his backhand came a lightning-fast palm wind, hitting the rogue directly on the chest. The rogue grunted and staggered back a few steps.

Seeing this, another scoundrel attacked from the side and kicked Tuobayu with his leg.

The corners of Tuobayu's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile. She suddenly raised her leg, the back first, and hit the rogue's leg hard.

There was only a "click" sound, and the scoundrel screamed and fell to the ground, holding his legs and rolling in pain.

"Come together!" the scoundrels shouted and swarmed forward. Tuoba Yu's figure is like a ghost, moving freely among the crowd.

She intertwined her fists and palms, each move carrying a fierce wind. As soon as a scoundrel approached, she kicked him away and hit the wall before sliding down.

"That's all you have?" Tuobayu mocked, his eyes full of contempt.

The more the scoundrels fought, the more frightened they became. They discovered that the strength of Tuobayu in front of them was far beyond their imagination.

But at this time, it was hard to get off the tiger, so we could only bite the bullet and continue.

Tuobayu saw the right moment and kicked several scoundrels to the ground with a roundhouse kick.

She then flew forward, using both palms to beat the last two scoundrels until they vomited blood and collapsed to the ground.

"Hmph, you don't overestimate your capabilities!" Tuobayu patted the dust on his body and looked coldly at the rogues scattered on the ground.

This process stunned Chen Shou. He opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened. He didn't expect that although Tuobayu was just a woman, she was so powerful.

Chen Shou stood there blankly and murmured to himself: "I originally thought women were weak, but I never thought that Miss Tuoba could have such skills. It's really amazing."

At this time, Tuobayu finished dealing with the scoundrels, clapped his hands, turned to look at Chen Shou, and saw that Chen Shou was still in shock and had not yet recovered.

Tuobayu smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Chen, don't be so surprised. They are just petty thieves, nothing to be afraid of."

Chen Shou just woke up from a dream and said quickly: "Miss Tuoba is brave and extraordinary. I admire you, I admire you!"

Father Chen, who was indoors, was still worried about the situation outside, but when he heard the commotion outside becoming more and more intense, he felt very anxious.

When he saw Tuobayu's valiant skills through the window, he was also stunned by this scene.

He was stunned for a moment, and then walked out immediately, with a look of disbelief on his face, muttering: "This... this girl is so amazing!"

Walking up to Tuobayu, Chen's father was so excited that his voice trembled: "Girl, thank you!"

Tuobayu raised his head slightly, and said with a bit of shyness but also pride: "Old man Chen, please don't call me girl again. I am already his wife after all."

Father Chen was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized and said hurriedly: "Oh, look at how confused I am."

Tuoba Yu crossed his arms, his eyebrows were raised, and he stared at the men who fell to the ground with a sharp gaze, and asked sternly: "What's the matter, what else do you want to refuse to accept?"

The men lay on the ground, their faces full of pain, and sweat kept sliding down their foreheads.

The leading man gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and said weakly: "Madam, please spare us, we are convinced, and we will never dare to do it again." (End of this chapter)
