In a quiet forest, Lei Tiangui carefully led Jia Xu into a hidden cave.
The cave is surrounded by green trees and the entrance is covered by lush branches and leaves, which looks quite mysterious.
Lei Tiangui carefully checked this place in advance to ensure safety.
Outside the cave, wild fruits are hung on the branches, like strings of tempting gems, exuding a natural fragrance.
It's safe and has something to eat here.
Jia Xu followed Lei Tiangui into the cave, his heart full of doubts and curiosity.
He couldn't help but ask, "Did the Prime Minister let me go?"
Lei Tiangui quickly made a gesture of silence and said softly: "Don't talk, otherwise I will kill you."
Seeing this, Jia Xu nodded and stopped talking.
There was a damp breath in the cave, and the water droplets on the stone wall slowly dripped, making a crisp sound.
Jia Xu quietly observed the surrounding environment, trying to find some answers from Lei Tiangui's expression.
Jia Xu thought hard in the cave, but could not find any answer. His eyes wandered in the darkness, and the doubts in his heart became heavier.
After a while, Lei Tiangui walked in from outside.
His figure seemed a little blurred in the light at the entrance of the cave, holding some bright wild fruits in his hand, exuding an attractive fragrance.
Lei Tiangui walked to Jia Xu, handed the wild fruit to him gently, and said, "Eat some to replenish your energy. After a while, we will have to set off."
Jia Xu ate wild fruit silently, but the doubts in his heart were not eliminated.
"You'd better give me honestly now and don't ask anything, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Lei Tiangui said coldly.
In a spacious and simple room, Liu Long paced back and forth anxiously.
The windows were open and the breeze was blowing gently.
His eyes looked at the door from time to time, and he silently prayed in his heart that Zhao Qiang's return.
Liu Long finally decided to gather a few confidants.
They sat around a rough wooden table.
Liu Long took a deep breath and said slowly: "I asked Zhao Qiang to find Liu Bei, but he has not returned yet." His voice revealed concerns and anxiety.
Several confidants exchanged glances with each other, and then said one person: "Don't worry, boss, that's true, Zhao Qiang will definitely not happen."
However, Liu Long's uneasiness did not ease. He frowned and his hands were clenched unconsciously.
At this time, a confidant asked a question.
"Boss, there is an old god in the southern village, which is very effective. Why don't we go to worship him, it may help accomplish the big thing." His voice was filled with a hint of expectation.
Others nodded, saying that this was indeed the case.
However, Liu Long frowned, he didn't really believe these things.
He calmed down and scolded: "Don't believe in these sluts! We rely on strength and wisdom, not illusory prayers!"
The air in the room seemed to freeze instantly, and everyone was silent for a moment.
Liu Long continued: "We should strive for success through our own efforts and determination, rather than relying on mysterious power."
After everyone dispersed, they walked on the narrow path.
"That old god is very powerful, but the boss doesn't believe it." Someone said angrily.
"Yes, whether he believes it or not, we can just believe it. Why not worship the old god now?" another person suggested.
After hearing this, the others thought it made sense.
They walked towards the village to the south.
"This worship may bring us good luck." Someone said with anticipation.
"Yes, I hope the old god can bless us to complete the big thing smoothly." Another person echoed.
Gradually, the villages in the south appeared in their sight, and smoke drifted on the roof.
In front of a quaint wooden house, people formed a circle, and in the middle, someone carried a large stretcher, and an old man with fairy spirit was sitting on it.
The old man was wearing a white robe and his hair was white, as if he had an extraordinary temperament.
He held a bamboo tube in his hand, constantly sprinkling crystal clear holy water.
The villagers around him quietly surrounded him, with awe and expectation in their eyes.
"Is this the legendary old god?" someone asked in a low voice.
"Yes, his holy water is said to have magical powers." Another person replied.
The villagers whispered and whispered, full of expectations and hope for the arrival of the old god.
The old man smiled, his eyes revealing love and wisdom. He gently waved the bamboo tube in his hand, and the holy water fell on people, as if he gave them blessings and blessings.
Several of Liu Long's confidants were attracted by the scene in front of him.
When they saw the villagers surrounding the old man with fairy spirit and the holy water he sprinkled, their eyes showed a sense of awe.
They knelt slowly, leaned forward slightly, and looked very pious.
There was a quiet and mysterious atmosphere all around, as if time had frozen at this moment.
They lowered their heads, folded their hands together, and silently expressed their respect and prayers to the old god.
Liu Long was secretly angry. He knew his subordinates' temper. When they asked the old gods, he expected that they might go looking for the old gods.
At this moment, he stood in a corner of the village in the south, watching the scene in front of him from afar, and his anger continued to rise in his heart.
He sighed secretly, these subordinates were so disobedient to him!
He once clearly warned them not to believe in those slutty things, but they still do their own things.
Liu Long was filled with disappointment. He had high hopes for these subordinates, hoping that they could deal with difficulties with their own strength and wisdom.
Instead of placing hope on the illusory gods.
He felt that his authority was challenged, which made him very angry.
The sun shines on the stone road in the village south, reflecting Liu Long's angry figure.
He quickly walked out of the corner and walked straight towards the old immortal.
"You old god, you are pretending to be a ghost here! Damn it!" Liu Long's reprimanded throughout the village.
The old god was unmoved, his eyes were as calm as water, as if the noise around him had nothing to do with him.
The people around were immediately dissatisfied and they all accused Liu Long.
"How come this man is so ruthless! How can he be rude to the old god!"
"Stop it now!"
Liu Long's subordinates never expected that Liu Long would come here, and they looked shocked.
"Boss, kneel down quickly, don't offend the old god!" They persuaded one after another.
The sun is still warm, but it cannot calm Liu Long's anger.
Liu Long ignored everyone's dissuasion and continued to insult the old god.
"What a god! He's just a liar!"
The old god was still sitting calmly on the stretcher, his eyes were like a deep pool, calm and unstoppable.
Several villagers were angry with Liu Long's words, and they rolled up their sleeves and prepared to fight with Liu Long.
"I dare to be disrespectful to the old god. Let's see how we teach you a lesson!"
Several of Liu Long's subordinates hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded Liu Long.
"Boss, kneel down quickly and don't make things worse!"
However, Liu Long was stubbornly unhappy.
Liu Long did not retreat and was entangled with several villagers. Their fists waved each other and the scene became chaotic.
During the fierce conflict, several people finally knocked Liu Long to the ground.
His face was covered with dust, and a trace of blood was overflowing from the corners of his mouth.
Liu Long's subordinates were anxious and apologized to the angry villagers.
While quickly carrying Liu Long on his back, he left the chaotic scene.
They hurried into a quiet forest, shaded by the sun.
There is a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, and it rusts when you step on it.
After putting Liu Long down, one of the subordinates asked with concern: "Boss, are you okay?"
Liu Long was furious, widened his eyes and shouted: "Why don't you listen to me? I don't need you to pity me!"
Another subordinate defended: "Boss, we really shouldn't target the old gods."
Liu Long suddenly stood up and pointed at them and scolded: "You useless things! I have clearly told you not to believe that old god, but you are still making trouble with others!"
His voice echoed in the woods, alarming a few perching birds, who flew into the distance with their wings.
Several people had to lower their heads, they really didn't know how to persuade them.
After a while, Liu Long left without looking back with anger.
His figure gradually disappeared into the depths of the woods.
Several subordinates looked at each other and retreated silently.
The old god continued to sprinkle holy water.
The old god calculated a problem.
"I should have been killed by Sun Ce, and Sun Ce would have died because of this. But now, everything has changed."
He closed his eyes and began to count on his fingers, his brows frowned slightly.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and a trace of doubt flashed through his eyes.
"Who has come to this world since the future and actually changed all this?"
The breeze blew gently, and the old fairy's white robe fluttered in the wind, as if he had also merged into this quiet atmosphere.
"Old immortal, don't be as rude as the rude person just now, don't be so angry." Many people gathered around to comfort the old immortal.
The old fairy smiled slightly, his voice calm and gentle.
"Don't worry, everyone, how could I get angry with this mortal."
At this time, the sunlight was just shining on the old god, covering him with a layer of golden light.
The people around him were filled with reverence for him.
The old god waved his hand and told everyone not to care. He looked up at the sky and said leisurely: "Everything in the world has its own rules, so why should I be angry about this little thing?"
The breeze gently blew the old fairy's beard, and his expression seemed even more transcendent.
Liu Long returned home and sat in the dim corner, thinking about what happened during the day.
His fists were clenched, and the resentment in his heart was hard to calm down.
"This old god, you can't just let him go!" Liu Long gritted his teeth and said to himself.
Liu Long picked up the cold sword and walked back to the scene with heavy steps.
"Old immortal, die!" Liu Long's voice echoed in the silence.
Liu Long stepped into the scene with a sword in his hand.
Everyone was originally immersed in their respective activities, but suddenly they saw him appearing, and they were so shocked that they took a breath.
"Oh, what's going on? Why did this person come with a sword?" Someone screamed in surprise.
The panic spread rapidly, and many people began to avoid it, staggering, as if being pushed by an invisible force.
"Don't be impulsive!" someone shouted while running.
"You will cause a big disaster if you do this! Put down your sword quickly!" Another anxiously advised.
Liu Long's eyes were cold and firm. He was unmoved and approached step by step towards the old god.
The people carrying stretchers were also a little at a loss.
The old god had long since thought that he had a disaster, so his face looked very calm.
Liu Long quickly stepped forward, the sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and instantly stood on the old immortal's neck.
The old immortal's eyes remained calm.
He spoke slowly: "You are so impulsive, it will bring endless troubles. Put down your sword and don't make mistakes again and again."
Liu Long's voice was full of determination and anger.
"Hmph! I don't believe these nonsense words of you! Today, I must kill you, an old guy!"
The smell of blood spread in the air, like an invisible haze, covering everyone.
The sunlight shone through the clouds, illuminating Liu Long's hideous face and the gradually expanding blood on the ground.
Several people carrying stretchers looked at Liu Long in horror, and unconsciously retreated, fearing that they would annoy him.
Seeing this, Liu Long laughed loudly, his voice seemed particularly harsh on the quiet night.
"If he was really a god, how could he be killed so easily by me?" Liu Long said sarcastically.
Liu Long shook his sleeves and turned around and left gracefully, leaving behind a lonely back.
Several people carrying stretchers watched him go away silently, cursing in their hearts.
"This hateful guy will definitely be punished!" said one of them angrily.
They accelerated their pace and quickly carried the body of the old god away, fearing that something else would happen.
The villagers who walked away hid in a hidden corner and watched nervously at the scene that had just happened, their faces full of pain.
"This person is so cruel. How can he treat the old god like this!" a villager said angrily.
"That's right, he will definitely be punished and will not die well!" Another villager echoed, his tone full of anger.
Their hearts were filled with curses and resentment towards Liu Long, hoping that he could pay the price for his actions.
However, some people in the crowd began to doubt.
"Why didn't the old god save him? Is he really not able to do magic power?" a young villager asked in confusion.
"Maybe there is something we don't know..." Another villager pondered, trying to find the answer.
These villagers were in a very complicated mood. They were both angry and painful about Liu Long's behavior, and confused and puzzled by the old god's experience.
After returning home, Liu Long smiled contemptuously, what an old god?
They are just some old waste, but they make people fool around.
What you have to do must be done, and no one can stop you.
On the streets of Youzhou, there are crowds of people in the lively market. Although the government’s announcements have been posted everywhere, people’s discussions are still endless.
"I think it's the Prime Minister who rescued Jia Xu!"
"That's right, otherwise how could Jia Xu disappear like this?" Everyone whispered and was full of suspicion about Xi Yu.
However, the atmosphere in Xi Yu's mansion was extremely heavy.
Xi Yu lay on the bed, his face pale and frowned, and the anger in his heart made his condition worse.
The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and the windows were closed, making the light look a little dim.
Song Shuwen hurried over. He walked anxiously to Xi Yu's bed and asked with concern: "Sir, how do you feel?"
Xi Yu replied weakly: "It's okay for me, it's just that this rumor is really infuriating."
Song Shuwen sighed softly and said, "Sir, don't be angry, it's important to take care of your health."
Xi Yu nodded and asked Song Shuwen to retreat for the time being.
Sun Shangxiang came to Xi Yu's room in a moment.
Seeing Xi Yu like this, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but feel anger in his heart.
She accused angrily: "The nonsense people outside are so angry!"
Xi Yu sighed slightly and said helplessly.
"This thing cannot be banned, I just hope that Wang Liang can quickly find out the truth of the matter."
After Xi Yu was silent for a moment, he then said to Sun Shangxiang: "After Wu Guotai came here, can he still adapt?"
Sun Shangxiang's expression suddenly became softer, and she replied with a smile: "Mom is very happy here."
"Don't worry, I'm in good health. I may have been a little tired recently. Just take a good rest. You'd better go and accompany Wu Guotai as soon as possible."
But Sun Shangxiang said that his husband's body is also very important.
I am willing to stay here for a while.
After a while, all the ladies arrived.
Like Sun Shangxiang, they all blamed rumors outside.
"Okay, don't blame me. Strictly speaking, I can't think it through myself."
Xi Yu said, don’t tell outsiders that he fell ill.
He is not afraid of being taken advantage of.
Because there are not many enemies now.
The key is to be afraid to misunderstand people.
The outsider thought that Xi Yu had done something wrong and deliberately pretended to be sick.
"Okay, I don't have any serious illness, it's just a small cold. You all retreat and let me calm down."
Xi Yu waved his hand and asked them all to go out.
After they left, Xi Yu told several soldiers to stand guard at his door.
No one is allowed to see a doctor for the time being, they will only disturb themselves.
I don't have any serious illness.
After a while, Zhuge Jin also heard about this and came to visit him.
The soldiers immediately told Yu Yu about his arrangement.
Zhuge Jin learned that Xi Yu was not seriously injured, so he stepped down for the time being.
On the other hand, Lei Tiangui and Jia Xu are still living in the cave.
Because Lei Tiangui looked particularly arrogant, Jia Xu did not dare to ask him questions directly.
It was almost evening, and Jia Xu finally couldn't help it.
"I want to ask, when exactly can we leave?"
"Of course I will leave when I am not discovered late at night. I will tell you another thing. I will save you and have nothing to do with Xi Yu."
