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

Xi Yu then breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to the bed, and saw that Tuoba Yu had not fallen asleep yet, so he said, "Don't worry, go to sleep."

The night was getting deeper and deeper. The old man squinted his eyes under the dim oil lamp, and was nervous and excited as he prepared.

He was indeed going to report the news.

He had heard that many people from the Kushan Kingdom wanted to sneak into the Central Plains.

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a greedy smile.

If he reported the information, he would definitely get a bigger reward.

"By then, hehe, I can marry several concubines."

He fantasized happily, rubbing his hands constantly, as if the glory and wealth were just around the corner.

He carefully closed the door with an imperceptible smug smile on his face, then put his hands behind his back, walked away leisurely at a leisurely pace.

That look seemed to be under his control.

In the shadow not far behind him, a dark guard in black night clothes appeared quietly like a ghost.

He stared at the old man's back with sharp eyes, and then he merged into the darkness and began to follow secretly.

He walked lightly, like a ghost in the night, without making a sound, for fear of being noticed by the old man in front.

At the border between the Kushan Empire and the Central Plains, there is a rushing river with turbulent water and waves beating the river bank.

There are soldiers stationed on both sides, with sharp eyes, holding their weapons tightly, and always keeping vigilant.

The old man hurried all the way, and when he was about to reach the river, his face suddenly became a little ugly, his brows were furrowed, and his legs were unconsciously clamped.

"Oh, this is really troublesome." He muttered, looking around, trying to find a hidden place to solve the urgency.

After finally finding a bush, the old man hurried in.

After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked out with a relaxed look.

However, just as he finished, a dark shadow appeared in front of him like lightning.

The cold face of the dark guard looked particularly gloomy in the moonlight, and his eyes were as sharp as a hawk, staring at the old man.

The old man was frightened by the sudden figure, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Who... who are you?"

The dark guard snorted coldly.

"Humph, don't care who I am, tell me honestly, what are you doing here in a sneaky way?"

The old man stammered: "I... I'm just passing by."

The dark guard took a step forward, exuding a compelling momentum.

"Passing by? I don't think it's that simple!"

The old man's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, his eyes were evasive, and his voice was trembling: "Really... I was just passing by, spare my life!"

The secret guard narrowed his eyes, stared at the old man's panic, and sneered: "Huh, do you think I will believe your nonsense? Tell the truth quickly, otherwise you will be in trouble!"

The old man's legs softened and he almost collapsed to the ground. He said in a crying voice: "I... I dare not lie, I do have something important to do."

The secret guard's eyes were stern, and he shouted: "What is the important matter? Tell me!"

The old man swallowed his saliva , hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said: "I... I am going to report to the officials in the Central Plains about the news that someone from the Kushan Kingdom has smuggled."

The secret guard frowned and asked: "Why are you going to report? What is your intention?"

The old man answered tremblingly: "I... I just want to get a reward, marry a few concubines, and live a good life."

The secret guard's face was gloomy, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Follow me, your affairs must be decided by the higher-ups."

The old man had no choice but to follow the secret guard obediently, feeling uneasy, not knowing what fate would be waiting for him.

The secret guard grabbed the old man's collar and took him back to the inn like a chicken.

As soon as he entered the room, the secret guard threw the old man onto the bed and said viciously: "You just stay in this inn. If you dare to step out of the door, I will kill you immediately!"

The old man nodded in fear, his eyes full of fear.

"Yes, yes, good man, I will obey."

The dark guard snorted coldly, turned around and prepared to leave, but suddenly turned back and warned: "Don't play tricks, you can't escape from my palm!"

The old man responded timidly, and after the dark guard left, his face instantly became extremely gloomy, and the anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt.

He clenched his teeth tightly, his cheeks bulged high, his hands clenched into fists, and his nails almost embedded in the flesh.

"Damn it!" He cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show anger on his face.

At the same time, he was full of doubts, frowning, and couldn't figure it out: "Who is this man in black? How can he have such a powerful force? Why am I so unlucky!"

The old man tossed and turned on the bed, fidgeting, both afraid and unwilling, his thoughts were like a tangled mess, and he couldn't sort it out.

At this moment, in a deep cave, Zhao Yun woke up slowly.

He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, his head still a little dizzy, and looked around in confusion.

When he saw that he was in a completely unfamiliar place, he was suddenly shocked.

There were many burning torches around, illuminating the entire cave.

He struggled to get up and shouted loudly: "Someone come! Someone come!" The voice echoed in the cave, but no one responded.

Zhao Yun frowned, full of doubts and uneasiness. He really didn't understand why he came here and tried hard to remember what happened before.

Suddenly, a flash of memory flashed in his mind, remembering that he had been poisoned.

"Is it because of the poison?" He said to himself, his face became more solemn, and his eyes showed vigilance and perseverance, "No matter what, I must figure out the situation!"

He gritted his teeth and tried to get up, but as soon as he moved, he suddenly found that his body was limp, as if all his strength had been drained away.

A look of anger and anxiety instantly appeared on Zhao Yun's face. He punched the ground hard and growled: "Damn it! What the hell is going on?"

His eyes widened and veins popped out on his forehead. He tried to push himself up again, but fell down weakly.

"Who poisoned me?" Zhao Yun gasped, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

At this time, he heard what seemed to be a slight noise in the distance, and immediately became alert and shouted: "Who is it? Come out!"

However, the only response he received was the echo from the cave, and the subtle sound disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Yun sighed helplessly, frowning, secretly thinking about a way to escape.

He looked at the dark cave roof, filled with confusion and helplessness. The soldiers who fought side by side with him and shared life and death with him on weekdays are now unknown.

When he thought of this, Zhao Yun's eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red, and his clenched teeth showed his inner unwillingness.

"Am I going to be trapped here?" He murmured to himself, with deep frustration in his voice.

He lowered his head, and his handsome face in the past was now full of loneliness.

He rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, as if trying to wipe the frustration away from his face.

However, to no avail, the feeling of powerlessness lingered. "No, I can't give up like this!"

Zhao Yun suddenly raised his head, a determined light rekindled in his eyes, but that light was quickly covered up by frustration. He sighed and fell into deep thought again.

Soon, the night quietly left, and the faint morning light filtered through the window lattice, announcing the arrival of the next day.

Xi Yu and Tuo Bayu woke up from their sleep. Xi Yu walked sleepily to the basin and prepared to wash his face.

He picked up a handful of water and splashed it on his face, suddenly sobering up a bit. At this moment, he softly called out the secret guard.

The secret guard appeared in front of him instantly like a ghost, knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Master."

Xi Yu wiped his face and asked, "What happened to the old man last night?"

The secret guard lowered his head and reported back: "Master, my subordinates took the old man back to the inn last night and ordered him to stay there for good."

Xi Yu frowned slightly, "Did he do anything unusual?"

The secret guard replied: "The old man is honest, but I can see that he is quite dissatisfied, but he does not dare to express it."

Xi Yu snorted coldly, "I don't even dare to play tricks on him. Keep watching. If there is any trouble, report it immediately."

"Yes!" the secret guard responded, then disappeared in a flash.

After a while, Xi Yu quickly walked up to Tuoba Yu and said with a slightly excited look: "As I guessed before, this old man really has evil intentions. He wants to report that someone is smuggling across the country from Guishuang." , trying to get rewards."

Tuobayu frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his expression, and said, "That Kushan woman is not in good health. How about we ask Song Shuwen to take a look at her?"

Xiyu's eyes lit up after hearing this and he nodded repeatedly.

"That's what I meant!" As he said this, a look of serious thought appeared on his face.

"I hope Song Shuwen can find a way to make her get better."

Xi Yu's eyes were firm and his tone was decisive.

"Don't worry, Song Shuwen's medical skills are among the best in our area."

After a while, Xi Yu came to Song Shuwen's door.

He raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door. The sound was not loud but clear.

"Divine Doctor Song, are you there?" Xi Yu called.

Song Shuwen's voice came from inside the house: "Please come in!"

Xiyu opened the door and walked into the house.

Song Shuwen was sitting at the table, flipping through a medical book.

Xi Yu said with a sincere face: "Song Doctor, two people from the Kushan Kingdom came to our place yesterday. The woman among them is not in good health. I think you are very skilled in medicine, why don't you go and show her?"

Song Shuwen put down the medical book in his hand, raised his head, with the kindness of a doctor in his eyes, and responded without hesitation: "Okay, it's obligatory!"

A happy smile appeared on Xi Yu's face.

Later, Xi Yu brought Song Shuwen to Abo's door. Xi Yu raised his hand and knocked on the door again.

Apo heard the knock on the door and quickly opened the door. When he saw Xi Yu, his face instantly burst into a smile of surprise, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he called excitedly: "My dear friend, come here." "

Xi Yu smiled and nodded, and said, "Brother, don't be so polite. This is Song Shuwen, the miracle doctor of Song. The woman here is not in good health, so you asked him to come and take a look."

When Abo heard this, the joy on his face became even greater, and he hurriedly said: "That's great! I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it! Quick, miracle doctor, please come in!"

He stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation, his eyes full of expectation and hope.

Song Shuwen nodded slightly and stepped into the house. Abo followed closely, his face full of eagerness and concern.

Su Su lay weakly on the bed, her eyes closed tightly, her face as pale as paper, and even her lips had almost lost their color.

Her breathing was weak and rapid, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and a few strands of hair were messily stuck to her cheeks.

"My benefactor, this miracle doctor, I was planning to go out and ask for a doctor, now that you are here, that's great!" Apo said with a trembling voice, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Xiyu nodded slightly at Apo and said, "Brother Apo, then I won't disturb the miracle doctor Song for the time being."

After that, he turned and left the room, gently closing the door.

In the room, Song Shuwen looked focused and solemn. He sat on the stool beside the bed, stretched out three fingers and placed them on Susu's slender wrist, and began to feel her pulse.

He closed his eyes slightly, frowned and relaxed his brows from time to time, and carefully felt the beating of Susu's pulse.

A-po watched nervously, not daring to breathe, his hands unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes, staring at Song Shuwen's expression without blinking, as if he wanted to see the clues of Su Su's condition from his face in advance.

After Song Shuwen took Su Su's pulse, he gently opened Su Su's eyelids to check, and then asked A-po to help turn Su Su's body to the side and check her back.

A-po was very careful throughout the whole process, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he did not dare to disturb Song Shuwen.

After a while, Song Shuwen finally withdrew his hand. Apo hurriedly asked, "Godly doctor, how is she?"

Song Shuwen stroked his beard lightly and said in a deep voice, "The girl has been ill for a long time. It is caused by long-term worry and fatigue plus malnutrition. She is extremely weak. But you don't have to worry too much. I will prescribe a few medicines first. If you take good care of her, she should get better."

After hearing this, Apo's tense nerves relaxed a little and nodded repeatedly to thank him, "Thank you, Godly doctor, thank you, Godly doctor!"

Song Shuwen got up and walked to the table. He picked up a pen and wrote the prescription on the paper. While writing, he said to Apo, "This medicine needs to be taken on time every day. Let her rest more during the medication period. She should also pay attention to her diet and try to make it light and nutritious."

Apo listened carefully and nodded constantly.

After writing the prescription, Song Shuwen handed it to Apo and told him: "Take this prescription to get the medicine. Remember, you must do it according to what I say."

Apo took the prescription with both hands and burst into tears of gratitude: "Godly doctor, your great kindness will never be forgotten by me."

Song Shuwen waved his hand: "It is the duty of a doctor to cure diseases and save lives. As long as the girl can get better as soon as possible, it will be enough." After that, he left the room.

Apo looked at the prescription in his hand, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and hurried out to get the medicine.

Next, Xiyu walked steadily to the room where the old man was.

In the room, the old man had just woken up from his sleep. He stretched his waist, but felt that his body was extremely lazy, as if all his strength had been taken away.

He sat up with difficulty and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

With a "creak", the old man opened the door. When he opened the door, he found Xiyu standing at the door with his hands on his chest and a serious face.

The old man's heart skipped a beat, and he forced a flattering smile on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Oh, it's you..."

Xi Yu stared at the old man with a sharp gaze, as if he could see through his mind.

Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a questioning tone: "You were still arrogant yesterday, why do you change your temper now?"

The old man hurriedly put on a smile, and his waist unconsciously bent a little, his eyes rolled around, and said: "Hey, good man, I have guessed that the man in black last night must have something to do with you. I didn't recognize the great man, you are generous, don't bother with me."

As he spoke, beads of sweat appeared on the old man's forehead, and his smile became more flattering, but his eyes revealed fear and uneasiness that were difficult to conceal.

Xi Yu snorted coldly, took a step forward, stared at the old man and said: "You still have some brains, then tell me, what are you going to do now?"

The old man was frightened by Xi Yu's momentum and took a small step back, stammering: "I... I will obey your orders and never dare to have second thoughts again."

Xi Yu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile: "Oh? Then I want to see how sincere you are."

The old man nodded quickly, and said in a trembling voice: "Good man, as long as you forgive me this time, I will do anything for you."

Then, the old man knelt on the ground with a "thump", crying and complaining: "Good man, smuggling is wrong, I report the news to uphold justice!" He raised his head and looked at Xi Yu pitifully with his tearful eyes.

Xi Yu couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, his face full of disdain: "Humph! Uphold justice? Smuggling is wrong, but I think those two people clearly have their own difficulties. I need to get things clear, but you sneaked to report the news, what's going on? And don't think I don't know, you are doing it entirely for your own interests!" Xi Yu's eyes widened, pointing at the old man and shouting.

The old man was frightened by Xi Yu's momentum and trembled all over. He lowered his head and his voice trembled more and more: "I... I know I was wrong, please spare my life!"

Xi Yu folded his hands across his chest and looked down at the old man: "Spare my life? That depends on your performance!"

Although the old man still looked respectful on the surface, he lowered his head and said with a slight tremor: "Good man, how dare I be dissatisfied, I am absolutely convinced by you."

However, his eyes flickered unconsciously, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his heart was already full of resentment.

Xi Yu stared at the old man's face with a sharp gaze, as if he could see through his thoughts, and said coldly: "Are you dissatisfied in your heart? Don't think I can't see it."

The old man was shocked, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He kowtowed again and said in panic: "Good man, I dare not, I really know I am wrong, and I will never dare to disobey again." (End of this chapter)
