In this slightly noisy room, Xi Yu's face was firm and there was an unquestionable light in his eyes.
Faced with the kind care of others, Xi Yu nodded slightly, a grateful smile appeared on his face, and said, "Thank you for your concern, I am very grateful in my heart. However, I have my own principles. We have important things to do when we come here, and we will never leave."
When the boss heard this, he was stunned at first, then his lips raised, and a meaningful smile appeared. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since you are so persistent, I won't say anything more." After that, the boss shook his head and turned around and left.
Xi Yu frowned, stared into the distance, and kept thinking about the history of the Kushan Empire in his mind.
He knew a little bit about the situation in the Kushan Empire at this time, for example, the Kushan Empire was under fierce attacks from the Sassanid Dynasty, and wars continued between the two.
Thinking of this, Xi Yu's expression became more and more serious, and he couldn't help but sigh at the cruelty of war in his heart.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
Suddenly, his thoughts floated on Chen Shou again.
"Chen Shou must be more familiar with these histories." Xi Yu said silently in his heart. He imagined Chen Shou's knowledge and knowledge, and his heart was full of admiration.
At this moment, he seemed to see Chen Shouzheng and Zhao Yun walking side by side, perhaps he had arrived in Youzhou.
Thinking of this, a look of yearning appeared on Xi Yu's face unconsciously. He hoped that he could experience those magnificent historical moments like them.
On the other hand, Chen Shou and Chen's father settled in a remote but beautiful village.
That day, Chen Shou and his father came here, and saw an old man struggling to carry water, staggering, and the water in the bucket was swaying, and it was about to spill out.
Chen Shou frowned and felt pity. He hurriedly ran forward, took the burden on the old man's shoulders, and said, "Old man, I'll help you."
The old man was startled, then a grateful smile appeared on his face and said, "Good boy, thank you so much."
During the conversation, the old man learned that the father and son were looking for a place to settle down, so he said enthusiastically: "There is an empty house in the village that has been uninhabited. Why not go there."
Chen Shou's eyes lit up and he looked at his father, and Chen's father nodded slightly.
Chen Shou hurriedly thanked: "That's great, thank you old man."
Chen Shou and Chen's father followed the old man to the house and looked around. Chen Shou's face was full of expectations, while Chen's father looked relieved.
The father and son simply cleaned up the house and started moving in.
However, on that day, Chen's father looked at the gloomy sky and kept sighing.
Seeing this, Chen Shou asked with confusion: "Father, why are you sighing? Are you worried about the rainy weather? There is no need for this."
Chen's father shook his head and said with a worried look: "Shou'er, I sighed for my father not because of the weather. But I was thinking that we would be like being deserters. If the Prime Minister knew about it, how sad it would be."
Chen Shou frowned, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but he quickly became firm again and said, "Father, I really hate Zhao Yun's behavior. I must stick to my principles. Even if the Prime Minister blames it, I don't care."
Chen Shou said, gritting his teeth, his face full of stubbornness.
On the other side, in the simple inn, Xi Yu ordered the dishes and waited quietly here.
Xi Yu hugged his hands in front of his chest, glanced at everyone, and said solemnly: "Everyone, this place is not Zhongyuan after all, so the diet may be different from Zhongyuan. I hope everyone can adapt."
After saying that, he frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
After a while, a girl came out to deliver vegetables.
The blue eyes were like the deep lake water, clear and charming. Her nose bridge was straight and her nose wings were slightly twitching, as if she was breathing gently.
The old man hurriedly said, "This girl is my daughter, and her name is Jenny."
Jenny put the dishes lightly on the table and looked at everyone with a smile.
The smile is like the warm sun in spring, warm and bright, making people feel happy when they see it.
Xi Yu also greeted Jenny warmly and politely, with a friendly and warm smile on her face.
However, this scene made Ouyang Linlin feel an inexplicable sense of crisis.
Her eyes wandered back and forth between Xi Yu and Jenny, her brows frowned slightly unconsciously, and she secretly guessed in her heart: "Xi Yu won't develop this foreign woman into her own wife, right?"
After Jenny delivered the food, she immediately left.
Xi Yu didn't notice Ouyang Linlin's thoughts, but just called the three of them to eat.
"Come on, don't be polite, try it."
Ouyang Linlin absent-mindedly picked up the chopsticks, and her eyes glanced at the direction where Jenny left from time to time.
Xiaohong saw Ouyang Linlin's unnaturalness, hurriedly approached her and asked softly, "Miss, what's going on?"
Xi Yu also turned his eyes away from the meal and turned to Ouyang Linlin. Seeing that her face looked a little bad, she frowned slightly.
Xi Yu immediately understood what was going on, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and looked at Ouyang Linlin and said, "Linlin, you must be jealous. Don't worry, I, Xi Yu, will never marry another girl casually, you don't have to worry."
When Ouyang Linlin heard this, her cheeks suddenly flushed, she glared at Xi Yu with a angrily and said, "Who is jealous, don't talk nonsense." But her shy expression betrayed her.
Xiaohong covered her mouth and laughed secretly, while Xi Yu looked confident and her eyes were full of gentleness.
As for Song Shuwen, he was just eating, and he was naturally indifferent to the emotional entanglements of Xi Yu and the others. He seemed to have only the food in front of him.
After everyone ate for a while, the old man came over with a kind smile on his face and asked with concern: "Everyone, is this food suitable for your taste?"
Xi Yu nodded quickly and said, "Old man, this meal is very good."
The old man smiled and stroked his beard and said, "This place is very close to the Central Plains, so there are some foods that are similar to the Central Plains to a certain extent."
After hearing this, Xi Yu thoughtfully picked up another bite of the dish and put it in his mouth to chew it carefully.
The old man stood aside and watched them eat with relish, and the smile on his face became stronger.
"It's good that you can get used to it. If you think something is not suitable for the taste, just tell me."
At this time, Ouyang Linlin also stopped chopsticks and said to the old man with a smile: "Old man, you are so polite, this meal is really good."
The old man laughed, "That's good, that's good, you guys eat slowly." After that, he turned around and left.
Xi Yu and others continued to enjoy this special meal, and the room was filled with a warm and satisfying atmosphere.
After eating for a while, Xi Yu put down the chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth with his hands, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that in this remote place, I could still taste food with a bit of Central Plains flavor, which is also a kind of comfort."
Song Shuwen's mouth was filled with vague response: "Well, that's it."
Ouyang Linlin took a sip of tea and said, "This is thanks to the old man's careful preparation."
As he was speaking, Jenny walked in again, holding a plate of fruit in her hand, and put it on the table with a smile: "Everyone, please try this fresh fruit. You are guests from afar, this is a gift."
Xi Yu smiled and thanked Jenny. Ouyang Linlin's eyes unconsciously fell on Jenny, with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.
Jenny seemed not to notice Ouyang Linlin's gaze and turned around and left lightly.
Xi Yu looked at Ouyang Linlin and said softly: "Don't think too much, eat fruits quickly."
Ouyang Linlin nodded slightly, picked up a piece of fruit and took a bite, and her mood gradually calmed down.
Outside the window, the sun shines on the ground through the gaps of the leaves, forming spots of light, and the breeze gently blows by, bringing a hint of coolness.
After a while, someone broke the tranquility.
A soldier came with many soldiers swaying. The soldier was fat and had big ears, and his face was full of flesh, looking particularly arrogant.
He sat down immediately, stamped the ground with his feet, and shouted in a rough voice: "Old man, hurry up and serve the food and drink!"
The old man came to the officers and soldiers with a sad face and said carefully: "Official, you have eaten at the old man several times without spending money. We are a small business and can't stand such trouble."
When the officers and soldiers heard this, they opened their eyes wide open, glared at the old man, raised their hands to slap him, and said viciously: "It is your old man's honor to eat with you! Do you dare to withdraw money from me?"
When Xi Yu and others saw this scene, they frowned and showed an angry expression on their faces.
The officers and soldiers in the lead are called Zhahu.
His face was full of ferociousness and he immediately slapped the table hard, shaking the bowls and chopsticks on the table.
"I worked hard to fight for the Kushan Empire and protect the Kushan people. Can't I have a meal?" Zhahu roared angrily, his fierce eyes as if he was about to swallow the old man alive.
At this moment, Jenny, who had just left, walked out again and asked with a puzzled look, "What's going on?"
When Zahu saw Jenny, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a lewd smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Haha, you are here just right. Hurry up, sit on my thighs and make me comfortable." As he said that, he also spread his arms.
Several officers and soldiers also started to make excuses, laughing extremely vulgarly, "That's right, beauty, come and accompany our elder brother."
Jenny was so scared that she was shy and retreated repeatedly, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness.
Seeing this, Xi Yu and others were furious and clenched their fists tightly.
The old man was so angry that his face turned red, he pointed at the people in front of him with a trembling finger, and accused him angrily: "You guys are simply rude!"
But those people didn't care at all. Zhahu even sneered, his eyes were fierce, and he said viciously: "If you don't agree to my conditions today, you will kill you all!"
Just at this moment of tension, Xi Yu slapped the table suddenly, and a loud "bang" sound made the entire tavern quiet. Xi Yu frowned, opened his eyes wide open, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing!"
Only then did Zhahu notice the people of Central Plains next to him. His hideous face was full of disdain and cursed angrily: "The people of Central Plains dare to make trouble on our territory?"
Xi Yu hugged his chest with his hands, and said with a righteous look on his face, "As long as it is unfair, I, Xi Yu, will take care of it!" His eyes were firm and he had no intention of retreating.
When Zhahu heard this, a hint of disdain and provocation appeared on his face, and suddenly turned his malicious gaze to Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong.
He raised his lips, showing a despicable smile, and said obscene words and teased randomly: "Hehe, look at these two little ladies, how about I play with me with the uncle?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xi Yu was so angry that his eyes widened, and his veins swelled up on his forehead, and he shouted angrily: "Shameless man! You actually said such a vulgar word!"
Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong were full of shame and anger, shocked and scared, and their bodies were unconsciously shrank back.
Zhahu looked arrogant, waved his hand at the soldiers, and ordered viciously: "Go, get Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong here!" When the soldiers heard this, they immediately rubbed their hands with fierce eyes, and were about to attack the two girls.
Jenny was so scared that she lost her vileness. She grabbed the old man's hand tightly with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Dad, I'm afraid!"
The old man's face was gloomy and suppressed his anger and said, "Don't be rude to the guests in Zhongyuan!"
When Zhahu heard this, his face became even more ferocious, and he pointed at the old man and cursed: "Old thing, since that's the case, then let your daughter serve me!"
At this time, the old man was so angry that he trembled all over, his eyes full of anger and helplessness.
At this extremely nervous moment, Ouyang Linlin suddenly swept away the previous panic, her eyes became extremely firm, and she stood up fearlessly in the face of danger. She looked directly at the soldiers approaching step by step and said loudly: "It's better not to be rude to me, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
But the soldiers didn't take her words at all, and continued to walk over with swagger and laughed unrestrainedly.
One of the soldiers had a fat face, and his facial features were crowded with smiles, and he mocked, "Oh, this little girl is quite talented, let's see how we deal with you later!"
Another soldier smiled so hard that he showed his yellow teeth and said contemptuously: "Just you? What can you do to us?"
"I have done my best." Ouyang Linlin's voice echoed in this empty room, with a hint of helplessness and anger.
She turned around, her eyes swept over the people in front of her, her eyes full of disappointment.
"I have said everything I should say, and I have done everything I should do. If they don't listen, then regret it." Her tone was firm and decisive, as if she had predicted the future tragedy.
At this moment, Xi Yu said sternly: "Are you not coming out yet?" He frowned and his eyes were majestic.
In an instant, several secret guards appeared like ghosts, all of them were agile and cold-faced.
The soldiers who were about to approach Ouyang Linlin were startled by the sudden scene, their faces turned pale in an instant, and their steps stopped involuntarily.
"Bold! How dare you offend!" The leader of the secret guard shouted angrily, his eyes flashing with anger.
Then, the secret guards took action without hesitation, with sharp moves, and beat the soldiers to the point of falling apart in a few strokes.
The soldiers begged for mercy in horror, but the secret guards had no intention of stopping.
Zhahu stood aside, feeling really surprised, his eyes wide open, his mouth slightly opened, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Why did these people suddenly appear?" he murmured to himself, his face as white as paper, and his legs couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Suddenly, a secret guard came to him quickly like the wind. The secret guard looked like a torch, his eyes were filled with cold murderous intent, and he grabbed Zahu's neck hard.
Zhahu felt difficulty breathing in an instant. His hands desperately tried to spread the secret guard's hands, and his feet kept kicking.
"Ahem...you, you can't treat me like this!" Zhahu squeezed out this sentence with difficulty, his voice becoming sharper because of fear.
"I am a favored person by the king. If you kill me, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Zhahu shouted with all his strength, his eyes full of fear and threat.
However, the secret guard had no intention of letting go. Instead, the force on his hands became heavier and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Even if you are the king of heaven, you can't escape today!"
The old man and Jenny stood aside, and the expression on their faces changed from initial nervousness to very joy.
The old man's wrinkled face was filled with flowers, his eyes were filled with surprise, and he kept muttering: "I really couldn't imagine it, I really couldn't imagine it!"
Jenny held her hands tightly in front of her chest, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and her eyes were filled with admiration and admiration.
"This Central Plains man actually has such a powerful subordinate!"
Xi Yu looked cold and his eyes swept across the embarrassing enemies like a knife. He said coldly to the secret guards: "Do you solve the person." His voice was low and powerful, and he could not be disobeyed at all.
The secret guard was ordered and suddenly exerted force on his hand. There was a muffled sound from Zhahu's throat, and then he lost his breath.
The secret guard threw Zahu's body on the ground like throwing garbage.
The other soldiers who had been knocked down to the ground were shocked when they saw this scene.
Their eyes, which were already full of fear, were now wide open, their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and some even urinated their pants in fear, and a panic atmosphere filled the air.
"Give me your life! Please spare me!" a soldier begged with a crying voice.
When the old man saw that Zhahu was killed, his face turned pale in an instant, and he staggered to Xi Yu.
His forehead was covered with sweat, his eyes were full of panic, and his voice trembled, "This is a bad thing. This Zhahu is dead, but it will touch the whole body!"
When Xiaohong heard the old man's words, she was immediately angry.
She raised her eyebrows, put her hands on her hips, and shouted angrily: "Old man, they did this for you. Now you are not only unhappy, but how can you complain?"
The old man trembled even harder when Xiaohong yelled like this, and his lips trembled: "I...I didn't complain on purpose, but the consequences... are really unpredictable."
The old man sighed helplessly, lowered his head, like a deflated ball.
