On that day, Xi Yu asked Chen Shou with excitement and expectation: "I originally planned to go to the Kushan Empire with Ouyang Linlin. Do you know what big empires there are in this world?"
A curious light flashed in his eyes, staring at Chen Shou tightly, as if Chen Shou's answer could solve the long-standing mystery in his heart.
Chen Shou narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard, looked calm and calm, and said slowly: "As far as I know, there is also the rest empire." His tone was stable and confident.
When Xi Yu heard this answer, a satisfied smile instantly burst into a face, which was as bright as the sun.
"Very good! Very good!" He nodded constantly, his eyes full of appreciation for Chen Shou, "Your knowledge is indeed vast, and I really admire you!"
Immediately afterwards, Xi Yu pulled Chen Shou to sit under the shade of the tree beside him, and said anxiously: "Since you understand so much, why don't we talk about the general trend of the world." His eyes were bright and full of concern for the situation.
Chen Shou nodded slightly, his expression became solemn, "Now the situation is complicated by various forces. Although the Kushan Empire is powerful, internal conflicts are becoming increasingly prominent. The Aisi Empire seems to be prosperous, but in fact there are hidden crises." He frowned while frowned, his eyes deep and worried.
Xi Yu was very focused on listening.
The moonlight was like water, and Xi Yu and the other two came to an quaint inn.
The inn is crowded and bustling.
At this time, Zhao Qiang was also sitting in the corner drinking alone, with a leisurely expression on his face.
His eyes were blurred and satisfied, as if he was immersed in some kind of beautiful memory.
That day, he and a few brothers distributed the treasure, and then they all went home.
In the past few days, Zhao Qiang has been living a life of debauchery, squandering the treasures he has gained.
When Xi Yu and others walked into the inn, Zhao Qiang just glanced casually, then turned his gaze back to his wine glass, and continued to indulge in his free world.
After a while, Zhao Qiang stood up swayingly and prepared to leave the inn.
His steps were floating, his eyes were blurred, and he muttered unclear words in his mouth.
At this moment, he staggered and accidentally stepped on an old man's feet.
The old man screamed "Ah", his facial features wrinkled together in pain, and he said with a wide glare: "You reckless guy, you can't walk with your eyes!"
When Zhao Qiang heard this, he not only did not have any apology, but instead looked arrogant and sneered with disdain on the corner of his mouth. He raised his hand and slapped the old man, and said viciously: "Old guy, dare to yell at me!"
The old man staggered and almost fell to the ground. The old man became even more angry, his face flushed and his whole body trembled. He pointed at Zhao Guo and scolded: "You lawless bastard, how dare you hit someone!"
Zhao Qiang held his hands in front of his chest, raised his head, glanced at the old man, and said arrogantly: "Don't be presumptuous when old guys are alive. You have money now and you are not afraid of anything!"
The others in the inn were stunned by the sudden scene and surrounded them, pointing at Zhao Qiang, showing anger and contempt.
At this time, the waiter hurried over, with a nervous and confused face, and hurriedly asked what was going on.
The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at Zhao Qiang, pointing his fingers tremblingly, and said loudly: "This guy stepped on my foot. Not only did he not apologize, but he also beat and insulted me!"
After hearing this, the waiter quickly persuaded him: "Everyone should calm down, don't make trouble in our store."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qiang didn't listen at all. He stared at the waiter with bloodshot eyes, looked at the waiter fiercely, and roared angrily: "What are you, you dare to take care of me!" As he said that, he raised his hand and slapped the waiter again.
The waiter was stunned by the sudden slap, and red palm prints appeared on his face. He covered his face, his eyes full of grievance and anger.
At this time, the others in the inn could no longer bear it and accused Zhao Qiang of being arrogant and unreasonable.
"How come you are so domineering!"
"It's too much, is it great to have money?"
"It's lawless!"
Zhao Qiang was unmoved at all, and still stood there arrogantly, cursing constantly.
When he saw this scene, Xi Yu couldn't stand it anymore. Tuoba Yu turned his head to look at Xi Yu and asked, "Husband, do you want to deal with it?"
Xi Yu frowned, his face gloomy, and he nodded.
So Tuoba Yu stood up, walked to Zhao Qiang a few steps, and asked sternly: "Why are you so rude?" Tuoba Yu looked like a torch, staring at Zhao Qiang tightly.
Zhao Qiang had drunk eyes, his body shook, and he patted his chest and said loudly: "What am I afraid of? I turned out to be a soldier, but I have been rich recently!" He had a smug smile on his face and saliva was still hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Tuoba Yu frowned even more and shouted, "Can you be so arrogant if you make a fortune?"
Zhao Qiang smiled and continued, "It's okay to tell you. I distributed the treasure I stolen from Guan Yu. Now I have money!" After that, he even burped.
After hearing this, Xi Yu was shocked. He widened his eyes and looked disbelief.
Tuoba Yu was also shocked and turned to look at Xi Yu, not knowing what to do.
Xi Yu never expected that things were so coincidental. He looked solemn and said to Tuoba Yu in a low voice: "Control Zhao Qiang first, don't let him run away."
Tuoba Yu got the order and rushed forward without hesitation, raised his hand and knocked Zhao Qiang out with a sharp edge.
Then, he turned to the old man who was still angry and said in a harmonious voice: "Old man, there is no need to argue with such beasts. It is not worth it to be angry if you make your body angry."
The old man looked at Tuoba Yu, full of gratitude, bowed repeatedly, "Thank you for your righteous actions. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how much grievances I would have to suffer."
The people around also agreed and praised Tuoba Yu very much.
"This hero is so skillful and chivalrous!"
"Yes, it's admirable that such decisiveness!"
Tuoba Yu just smiled slightly, bowed his hand to signal to everyone, and then together with Xi Yu, dragged the unconscious Zhao Qiang to a quiet corner, waiting for him to wake up so that he could ask for more details about the treasure from him.
Xi Yu asked the waiter to open the room, winked at Tuoba Yu and said, "Take him into that room and interrogate him later."
Tuoba Yu responded, grabbed Zhao Qiang like a chicken and walked into the house.
Xi Yu turned to look at Chen Shou and his son, and said in a harmonious voice: "Chen Shou, there is nothing you have to do here. You have been tired for a day, so hurry up and go into the house to rest."
Chen Shou bowed his hand and said with his son: "Then let's listen to you, let's go to bed first."
After saying that, the father and son hurried into their room.
Xi Yu took a deep breath outside the house, calmed down, and walked into the house where Zhao Qiang was imprisoned, preparing to pry out more secrets about the treasure from his mouth.
Tuoba Yu brought a basin of cold water, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Zhao Qiang in a coma, and without hesitation, poured the whole basin of cold water towards Zhao Qiang.
With a "wow", Zhao Qiang shuddered and woke up suddenly.
His hair was wet against his face, his eyes were frightened and confused, and he shook his head in panic, and water splashed everywhere.
Tuoba Yu put his hands on his chest and stared at Zhao Qiang with his eyes high, his eyes sternly, "Tell me quickly, what's going on with the treasure?"
Zhao Qiang was stunned at first. When he saw Tuoba Yu and Xi Yu in front of him, his heart skipped a beat. Although he didn't know the two people in front of him, he also knew that he had lost his words after drinking.
But his eyes rolled, pretended to be calm, and shouted with his neck stammering, "What treasure? I don't know what you are talking about!" His face was full of guilt, but he was still stubborn.
Xi Yu walked forward, his face gloomy, his eyes seemed to see through Zhao Qiang, and he said coldly: "Don't pretend, you said everything when you were drunk just now. Now, I will give you honest advice, maybe I can spare your life."
Zhao Qiang's body trembled slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and shook his head repeatedly to deny: "I'm talking nonsense, there's nothing like this!"
Seeing that Zhao Qiang is so stubborn, Tuoba Yu rose from his heart, stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Qiang's collar, lifted him up, and roared: "You are a life-and-death thing, you still dare to be stubborn!"
Her forehead bulged with blue veins and her eyes widened, as if it was about to spew out fire.
Zhao Qiang was so scared by Tuoba Yu's aura that his face turned pale, his lips were trembling, but he still refused to let go: "I... I really don't know, don't force me!"
Xi Yu frowned, pondered for a moment, and slowed down his tone and said, "Zhao Qiang, you have made such a big mistake. If you can tell the whereabouts of the treasure truthfully, we may reduce your guilt."
When Zhao Qiang heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he was soon replaced by stubbornness. He turned his head and muttered, "Hmph, I don't believe it, you just want to mess with my words."
Tuoba Yu was so angry that he threw Zhao Qiang back to the ground. Zhao Qiang fell down. Tuoba Yu pointed at him and cursed: "You ungrateful guy, you don't want to toast and eat the punishment!"
Xi Yu stopped Tuoba Yu and looked at Zhao Qiang again, with a hint of majesty in his eyes: "Zhao Qiang, think about it carefully. If you continue to be obsessed with it, what will be waiting for you will be severe punishment."
Zhao Qiang sat on the ground, his eyes wandering, and his heart was in a fierce struggle.
Tuoba Yu opened his eyes wide open and said loudly: "You ignorant rat, the current prime minister standing in front of you, you dare to be so presumptuous!"
When Zhao Qiang heard this, he was startled and his body trembled involuntarily, but then he burst out laughing and said while laughing: "Don't scare me, just him? Return to the Prime Minister? Do you think I am a three-year-old child and you can just be deceived by you?"
Xi Yu's face became more and more gloomy. He snorted coldly, took out the token from his arms, held it in front of Zhao Qiang, and sternly said: "Let you open your dog's eyes and take a look, what is this!"
Zhao Qiang's laughter came to an abrupt end. The moment his eyes touched the token, the expression on his face instantly frozen, his eyes widened, full of fear and disbelief.
His lips were trembling and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Zhao Qiang knelt on the ground with a "plop", sweating profusely on his forehead, and his voice trembled: "Prime Minister, please spare your life! A villain doesn't know Mount Tai, a villain deserves to die!"
Xi Yu put away the token, looked at Zhao Qiang coldly, and said, "I know you're scared now? Why don't you bring the whereabouts of the treasure truthfully!"
Zhao Qiang kowtowed repeatedly and said with a sad face: "Prime Minister, the villain really knows that he is wrong. I will say it, I will say it."
Tuoba Yu shouted, "Speak quickly! If there is a lie, you will definitely die without a place to bury!"
Zhao Qiang swallowed his saliva and began to tell the specific situation of stealing treasures.
After hearing Zhao Qiang's words, Tuoba Yu was furious and rushed up to punch Zhao Qiang, shouting angrily: "You dare to touch Guan Yu's temper, but you dare to steal his treasure. You are so bold!"
Tuoba Yu's face turned red, blue veins swelled up on his forehead, and every punch was full of anger.
Zhao Qiang was beaten to run away with his head in his arms, crying at his father and mother: "Give me your life, I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong!"
His face was full of fear and regret, and his clothes became messy.
Tuoba Yu stopped, gasped, pointed at Zhao Qiang and shouted: "Take out the treasure!"
Zhao Qiang said tremblingly: "It's been divided. I've spent a lot of money these days, and there's really not much left." His eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look at Tuoba Yu in front of him.
Xi Yu walked forward, looked at Zhao Qiang coldly, and said, "Tell all the addresses of those people, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
Xi Yu's voice was not loud, but it was irresistible.
Zhao Qiang's face was pale and his body kept trembling. Under the pressure of Xi Yu's powerful aura, he said helplessly: "I said, I said, they are there separately."
Xi Yu said expressionlessly: "Write all these and write them clearly for me word by word. I warn you that once I find out that you have lie, the consequences are not something you can bear." Xi Yu's eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he stabbed Zhao Qiang straight.
Zhao Qiang nodded repeatedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, I have never lie. If there is a lie, it will be struck by lightning." He hurriedly picked up the pen and began to write.
After writing, Xi Yu called out the secret guard and whispered: "According to the address above, arrest all the soldiers involved, and hand them to Fangjun quickly together with Zhao Qiang."
The secret guards responded in unison: "Yes!"
When Zhao Qiang heard this, he collapsed to the ground with a "thump" and cried loudly: "Give up your life, sir, please spare yourself!" He burst into tears and was extremely embarrassed.
However, his begging for mercy was useless. The secret guards dragged him up like wolves and tigers and quickly disappeared into the night.
Xi Yu hugged Tuoba Yu again, but suddenly thought that Tuoba Yu was in menstruation and his body was inconvenient, so he was a little depressed.
"Oh, it's all my fault. I didn't consider you at this special time for a while." Xi Yu gently let go of his hand, his face full of annoyance.
Tuoba Yu's face turned slightly red and she said softly: "It's not a problem, you are also where love comes."
Xi Yu looked at her with distress and said, "You have to rest well these days, don't be tired."
The servant Zhao Qiang rudely took him into the prison van, and several other soldiers also entered the prison van with dejected expression.
As soon as they got into the car, everyone glared and insulted Zhao Qiang in unison.
"Zhao Qiang, you ungrateful thing!" A man gritted his teeth, and his eyes seemed to be spewing out of fire, and he wanted to go up and tear Zhao Qiang up.
Another one also cursed: "It's all you who betrayed us, you won't die a good death!" His face turned red and blue veins swelled up on his forehead.
Zhao Qiang's face was bitter and he defended helplessly: "I'm helpless, I can't stand it anymore."
"Fart!" The third one spat fiercely, "You are just a coward, and you don't care about our lives or death for yourself."
Zhao Qiang lowered his head, dared not look at everyone's angry eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "I really have no choice, they are too powerful."
"Stop quibbling here!" Everyone was still relentless and continued to insult him.
Zhao Qiang was curled up in the corner of the prison car at this moment, full of regret. His eyes were empty and he kept thinking about the absurd actions he had done these days.
"I really shouldn't have drunk so much wine. If I weren't drunk, I wouldn't be able to control my mouth and shake out this fatal matter." He cursed himself fiercely in his heart.
"Why are you so unlucky? You just met Xi Yu in that inn!" The more Zhao Qiang thought about it, the more he felt as if he was teased by fate.
"It seems that people really cannot do something wrong. God is watching. I will punish me immediately." His heartbeats so hard that he could hear the rapid beatings as a complaint of his crime.
Zhao Qiang felt a moment of despair. He knew that what was waiting for him would be severe punishment, but who could blame him for all this? It was all his greed that made a big mistake.
"Oh, if I could do it again, I would never touch the treasure, nor would I squander it, and end up like this now." He sighed heavily, his heart full of hatred for himself and fear for the future.
On that day, Xi Yu and the other four continued to rush forward.
Xi Yu turned his head and looked at Chen Shou and his son, and said solemnly: "Chen Shou, there is something I want to tell you both of you father and son."
Chen Shou hurriedly replied: "Sir, please speak."
Xi Yu slowed down and said slowly: "There are often hidden guards around me. If the hidden guards suddenly appear around us on the way, don't be afraid."
Chen Shou was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir, we've recorded it."
Chen Shou's father also said, "We won't be afraid."
Xi Yu smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's so good, let's continue on the road."
The figures of the four people gradually drifted away on the road.
Along the way, Chen Shou and his son seemed a little silent, as if they were still digesting what Xi Yu said about the secret guards.
After a while, Chen Shou couldn't help but ask, "Sir, who are these secret guards? Why did they suddenly appear?"
Xi Yu patiently explained: "The secret guards are people who have been specially trained to protect my safety and perform some confidential tasks. They usually appear because they detect potential dangers or have important information transmission."
Chen Shou nodded in a vague way and said, "So that's the case. I guess they are all people with unique skills."
