A group of soldiers quickly came to the cave where Mrs. Hua Yue was located, and the bandits at the entrance of the cave immediately shouted alertly: "Who is it?"
Zhou Yu walked in front with a tense expression. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "It's me, Zhou Yu! What does it mean to capture my enemy Zhao Yun here? Humph, I must watch him die in person! And Mrs. Hua Yue has been controlled by me!"
When he said these words, Zhou Yu looked angry, but he secretly prayed in his heart that he would not be seen through.
The bandits were all shocked, with a look of astonishment on their faces.
Zhou Yu thought silently in his heart: Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun, you must not have anything to do. I have no choice but to come up with this bad idea to save you.
He tried hard to maintain his superficial anger, while quietly observing the surrounding situation with his eyes, ready to deal with possible changes at any time.
When the bandits at the gate heard Zhou Yu say that Mrs. Hua Yue was arrested, they were stunned at first, and then they looked in shock and anger on their faces.
"What? Mrs. Huayue was arrested? Impossible!" a gatekeeper roared.
Zhou Yu snorted coldly, stopped talking, and waved his hand and the soldiers behind him rushed up like a tide.
The bandits at the gate immediately reacted, drew their weapons and met Zhou Yu's soldiers.
The two sides were instantly caught in a fierce fight.
The sword lights and sword shadows flashed, and the shouts of killing resounded in front of the cave.
Zhou Yu's soldiers were all extremely brave, and the bandits also fought to the death, which was difficult to resolve for a while.
Zhou Yu stood aside, staring at the battle with a cold expression, and thought to himself how to break through this line of defense as soon as possible and rescue Zhao Yun.
During the fierce battle, people fell to the ground from time to time due to injuries, but neither side wanted to retreat at all, and the battle became increasingly fierce.
Zhou Yu's eyes trembled and his body rushed into the cave like lightning.
The little girl next to Mrs. Huayue's side suddenly widened her eyes when she learned that someone had controlled Mrs. Huayue, her face was full of pain and anxiety, and tears were rolling in her eyes.
When she saw Zhou Yu rushing in, she immediately turned around in panic and ran quickly towards the place where Zhao Yun was.
Zhao Yun had already heard the movement outside at this time. He frowned and guessed in his heart what had happened.
The little girl ran to Zhao Yun panting and said in a trembling voice: "Zhao Yun, the person who saved you is here, but... but if you don't get the antidote, you...you can do it yourself!" The little girl's face was full of panic and helplessness.
Zhao Yun's heart sank, but his face remained calm. He took a deep breath, his eyes staring at the direction of the hole, waiting for the next development.
Zhou Yu was extremely anxious at this moment. He thought to himself: I must find Zhao Yun as soon as possible, and I cannot let something happen to him! His steps became more and more rapid, and his face was full of determination.
When Zhou Yu and others were rushing in quickly, many bandits suddenly surged out to stop them.
In an instant, the two sides fought fiercely again, and the sound of weapons colliding was endless.
When Zhao Yun heard the fighting outside, he curled a sneer on the corner of his mouth and said to the little girl: "Hmph, see it, Mrs. Huayue must have been controlled, otherwise how could these soldiers come?" His eyes were full of mockery.
The little girl glared at Zhao Yun fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "Zhao Yun, don't be proud! The matter is not over yet!" The little girl's face was full of dissatisfaction, and she was secretly worried about Mrs. Hua Yue.
Zhao Yun snorted lightly, ignored the little girl, turned around and continued to pay attention to the situation outside, thinking in his heart about what might happen next.
At this time, Zhou Yu was struggling to fight with the bandits who were blocking him, and he had only one thought in his mind, that is, to find Zhao Yun as soon as possible.
The little girl looked at the fierce fight in front of her, her body trembled slightly involuntarily. Her eyes were full of horror, and she murmured to herself: "This... what should I do? I have never seen such a scene before."
At this moment, Zhao Yun suddenly took action and suddenly pinched the little girl's neck. His face was gloomy and he said gritted his teeth: "Take out the antidote quickly!"
The little girl's face turned red in an instant, and she said with difficulty: "You...you should die of this heart, I would rather die than surrender!"
And at this tense moment, Zhou Yu rushed in.
He felt joy in his heart when he saw Zhao Yun, but on the surface he deliberately showed a fierce expression and insulted loudly: "Hmph, I finally found Zhao Yun, this dog thief! I must see you die today!"
Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with complex light, both with excitement about to achieve his goal and a hint of undetectable worry.
After hearing Zhou Yu's seemingly insulting words, the smart Zhao Yun instantly understood his true intention.
Zhao Yun immediately started to insult him: "Zhou Yu, don't be proud, do you think you can succeed?"
Zhou Yu looked at the little girl coldly and said in a cold voice: "Hmph, it's useless to threaten me."
When the little girl heard the sudden scolding of the two, she was stunned for a moment, her face full of incredible surprise.
She had no idea why the two people in front of her suddenly became like this. Her eyes moved back and forth between Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu, and her heart was filled with doubts and confusion.
At this time, Zhou Yu looked cold and ruthless on the surface, but in his heart he was silently thinking about how to deal with it next.
The little girl stood there with a hesitant look on her face. She had no idea what to do.
Zhou Yu saw this opportunity and rushed forward with a quick speed, quickly pinched the little girl's neck with lightning speed, and then kicked her to the ground with a sudden force.
The soldiers around immediately surrounded him and trapped the little girl in the middle.
Zhou Yu quickly turned around and asked Zhao Yun with concern: "Do you have something to do?"
Zhao Yun shook his head and said that he was not seriously injured.
The little girl who fell to the ground was full of anger at this moment, and she insulted loudly: "You are indeed colluding!"
Her eyes were full of resentment and resentment.
Zhou Yu looked at the little girl coldly, showed a trace of disdain, and burst into laughter unscrupulously. The laughter echoed in the cave, with a bit of arrogance.
After laughing, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy again, and he smiled coldly.
He looked at the little girl lying on the ground with cold eyes, waved his hand and ordered: "Please ask her and let her take out the antidote!"
After the soldiers received the order, they immediately surrounded them and stared at the little girl with fierce spirits, shouting in unison: "Super the antidote!"
The little girl curled up on the ground, her eyes full of fear, but she still gritted her teeth and said stubbornly: "I won't give it to you!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness and said coldly again: "I see when you can be hard!" The atmosphere in the cave became more tense and depressing.
Zhou Yu's mouth showed a cruel smile and said gloomy: "Hmph, what this woman cares most about is her appearance. Since she is so stubborn, then disfigure this little girl!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers understood and began to prepare.
Some soldiers took out sharp daggers and played with them in their hands. The blade flashed with cold light, as if they couldn't wait to leave a terrifying mark on the little girl's delicate face; some soldiers were ready to rub their hands, and their eyes showed a ferocious look.
The little girl widened her eyes in horror, her body trembled violently, and she hissed: "No! You can't treat me like this!" However, her begging for mercy did not give Zhou Yu and others the slightest compassion.
Zhou Yu held his hands in front of his chest and watched all this coldly, as if he was enjoying a cruel farce about to be staged.
At this time, there was a suffocating fear and despair in the cave.
Zhao Yun looked at the little girl with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to become like this, then take out the antidote honestly."
Zhou Yu continued on the side, "Huh, Mrs. Hua Yue is the same. She was extremely stubborn, but when we said we wanted to disfigure her, she obediently told her address."
The little girl was full of horror at this moment and kept begging for mercy: "Please, don't treat me like this. I really don't want to be enemies with everyone, but I must listen to the lady."
Zhou Yu waved his hand impatiently and shouted to the soldiers: "Don't listen to her nonsense!"
The soldiers immediately stopped their movements and stared at the little girl fiercely, as if Zhou Yu would immediately take more cruel actions against her as soon as he gave her a command.
The little girl's begging for mercy echoed in the cave, but it could not change the tense and dangerous situation at all.
At this critical moment, the little girl seemed to have finally realized the situation. After struggling in her heart, she finally changed her mind.
"I...I am willing to hand over the antidote." The little girl said weakly.
When Zhou Yu heard this, he showed a very pleased expression on his face and said with a smile: "Isn't that right? As long as you take out the antidote, you can leave. Isn't this better?"
Zhao Yunze added with a serious look on his face: "This time the antidote must be a complete antidote."
The little girl nodded quickly, then took out the medicine from her cuffs with trembling hands.
At this time, everyone's eyes were staring at the antidote in the little girl's hand, hoping that the crisis could be resolved.
Zhou Yu took the antidote from the little girl, handed it to Zhao Yun, and signaled Zhao Yun to take it.
Seeing this, the little girl asked anxiously: "Then... can I let me go now?"
Zhou Yu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No, I must confirm that what you gave me in a few days is indeed a complete antidote. Zhao Yun has nothing to do before he can let you go."
The little girl looked helpless, but in this situation, she had to grit her teeth and agree.
At this moment, her heart was filled with regret and helplessness, but she could only wait silently for the final result.
After taking the antidote, Zhao Yun looked at Zhou Yu with gratitude and said, "Thank you Gongjin."
After saying that, Zhao Yun showed a wry smile on his face, feeling that he was particularly embarrassed at this moment.
Zhou Yu waved his hand and said softly: "Don't be sad, this is a trivial matter."
Then, his eyes sterned and he ordered: "Come on, tie this little girl up and take it away!"
The soldiers immediately took action and tied the little girl up. Zhou Yu looked around again and said coldly: "Shake this place flat!"
As his order was issued, the soldiers began to take action, and soon the land was razed to the ground.
On the other side, Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin were walking leisurely on the bustling streets.
They were already carrying large and small bags in their hands, and they obviously bought a lot of things.
Xi Yu looked around and turned to Ouyang Linlin and said gently: "Linlin, we should go back. After all, there may be something waiting for me to deal with in the Central Plains. As a prime minister, I cannot hang out every day."
Ouyang Linlin nodded slightly, her eyes full of understanding, and she said softly: "I understand, then let's go tomorrow."
Xi Yu nodded, with a smile on his face, and walked slowly towards the place where they temporarily lived with Ouyang Linlin.
Their figures were drawn long in the afterglow of the sunset, like a quiet and beautiful painting.
The next morning, the sun shone through the window lattice in the room.
Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin got up early and packed their luggage.
Xi Yu looked at Ouyang Linlin with a hint of reluctance in his eyes, "Linlin, wait until I finish handling the affairs of the Central Plains, I will have fun with you."
Ouyang Linlin smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Xi Yu felt it was time to say goodbye to Jiu Dazhi.
They came to Jiu Dazhi, and Xi Yu bowed and said, "Master, let's leave here."
When Jiu Dazhi heard this, he quickly said, "Don't leave in such a hurry. You can stay for a few more days."
Xi Yu smiled and shook his head, and politely refused: "Thank you Meiyi, but there are many other matters, so I really can't delay it anymore."
Seeing that Xi Yu was determined, Jiu Dazhi was not good at staying, so he had to nod helplessly nodded.
Afterwards, he personally sent Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin out.
Jiu Dazhi stood at the door, looking at their gradually moving backs, with a look of reluctance on his face, and a deep feeling of reluctance appeared in his eyes.
It was not until their figures completely disappeared from sight that Jiu Dazhi slowly turned around.
Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin rolled over the horse, shook the reins and the sound of horse hooves, and they slowly left the temple.
They galloped all the way, but when they were about to reach the border, they unexpectedly found Cao Rui standing there.
Xi Yu was shocked, hurriedly tied the reins and stepped forward to say hello to Cao Rui.
Cao Rui smiled and said, "I'm waiting here specifically to wish you a good journey."
Xi Yu was full of doubts and couldn't help asking, "How did you know I'm leaving today?"
Cao Rui looked at Xi Yu and said softly: "Xi Yu, I want to say a few words to you alone."
Xi Yu hesitated for a moment, and nodded in agreement.
They came to a relatively quiet corner.
Cao Rui took a deep breath and slowly spoke: "Xi Yu, I actually hated you before."
Xi Yu didn't speak, listened quietly.
Cao Rui continued: "But now, that kind of hatred seems to be much more dull. You are about to return to the Central Plains, and we rarely meet in the future. For some reason, I actually feel a sense of reluctance in my heart at this moment."
After listening to Xi Yu, he felt a lot of feelings.
He looked at Cao Rui and said with emotion: "Life is always full of changes and unexpected things. Maybe this is the arrangement of fate."
The two of them stood quietly, and for a moment, the atmosphere was a bit subtle and complicated.
The doubts in Xi Yu's heart still did not dissipate. He couldn't help but ask again: "Cao Rui, I'm still very strange. Why did you know that I would leave today?"
Cao Rui frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "Actually... I can't explain it clearly, it's just a kind of intuition, a very strange feeling. It seems that there is such a premonition in the dark."
After hearing this, Xi Yu felt even more incredible. Intuition is too mysterious.
He looked at Cao Rui, trying to find more answers from his face, but Cao Rui's expression was also full of confusion.
"Intuition... this is too difficult to understand." Xi Yu murmured to himself.
Cao Rui smiled helplessly, "I also know that this sounds ridiculous, but it is the case. Perhaps some things cannot be explained by common sense."
Xi Yu was silent for a while, and in the end he could only accept this somewhat bizarre statement.
They stood there and talked about other things.
Then Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin embarked on the journey back to the Central Plains together.
After Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin left, Cao Rui stood there and did not move for a long time.
He was also thinking about the strange intuition in his heart, why it guided him here so strongly.
Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin also discussed this matter from time to time on the way back.
"Then Cao Rui's intuition is too incredible. How could it be so accurate?" Ouyang Linlin said.
Xi Yu nodded, "Yes, it's really unpredictable. But no matter what, we have had such a special experience with him."
In that mysterious Cave of Lady Huayue, the tranquility of the past is broken.
After a fierce battle, the place was finally ruthlessly trampled. Many bandits died in this conflict, and at the same time, many trapped soldiers were finally rescued.
There is still a lot of food left in the cave.
Zhao Yun looked at the tired people around him and turned to Zhou Yu and said, "Everyone is tired, why not eat here before leaving."
Zhou Yu looked around, nodded, and agreed to Zhao Yun's proposal.
So, the soldiers sat together and began to enjoy these hard-earned foods, temporarily forgetting the blood and fatigue that they had just experienced, and enjoying this moment of peace and soothing. Outside the cave, the sun shone, as if telling the end and a new beginning of this battle.
Zhou Yu frowned, looked at Zhao Yun with a serious face, and asked with a hint of confusion in his tone: "Zilong, why are you trapped here?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Yun's face. He coughed lightly and said helplessly: "Gongjin, what happened along the way is a long story. Let's talk about it when you go back."
