Zhao Yun turned around and said loudly to everyone: "Please note that the weather is not good today. It is probably raining rain in this situation. For safety reasons, we will wait in the inn for the time being and wait until the weather improves before setting off."
When everyone heard Zhao Yun's order, they stopped the luggage they were packing.
A soldier scratched his head and said, "General, then we will have a day off in this inn?"
Zhao Yun nodded, glanced at everyone and said, "That's right. In this bad weather, the roads are muddy and difficult to walk, and you may also encounter various dangers. We cannot take our lives and take risks."
Chachatu in the room heard the conversation outside. He walked to the window and looked at the gloomy sky outside through the blurred window paper. He thought to himself: "This weather is really bad, but it's good, I can rest for one more day."
There was a hint of gratitude in his eyes, but there were some complex emotions in it.
At night, the rain quietly stopped and the air was filled with a fresh atmosphere.
However, this quiet atmosphere did not bring any peace to Chachatu.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Yun suggested, "It's too late today, let's hurry up tomorrow."
Everyone nodded in agreement and began to prepare for camping and rest.
Chachatu lies in a simple tent, but can't fall asleep.
His eyes were wide open, and he looked at the roof of the tent, and various pictures kept appearing in his mind.
He remembered Xi Yu's cold eyes and cruel methods, and his heart was filled with fear. "Xi Yu will definitely kill me." He murmured to himself, with trembling voice.
Fear was like an invisible big hand, tightly grasping his heart. He seemed to see Xi Yu walking towards him with a group of people, with a fierce look, and the weapon in his hand was shining with a cold light. He couldn't help but shivered and his body curled up involuntarily.
"No, I can't sit still and wait for death." Chachatu thought secretly. He began to think about ways to escape, but his mind was in chaos and he couldn't think of any clues.
He turned over irritably, and the anxiety in his heart became stronger and stronger.
This long night was like an endless nightmare for Chachatu. He didn't know what would be waiting for him tomorrow, but he knew that he had to find a way to survive.
Chachatu was lying there, his body trembling slightly uncontrollably.
Those terrible scenes kept hovering in his mind like demons, lingering.
His face was as pale as paper, and fine beads of sweat emerged from his forehead.
"It's so scary, it's really scary." He repeated over and over again in his heart.
These pictures were like heavy shackles, causing serious interference to him, making him almost unable to breathe.
He felt as if he was in a dark abyss, and could not see a glimmer of hope.
Gradually, despair surged into his heart like a tide.
He felt that he was desperate and could not get through.
"Instead of falling into Xi Yu's hands and suffering the unimaginable consequences, it is better to end your life now." Once this terrible thought appears, it will grow wildly in his heart like wild grass.
His eyes became empty and desperate, and he slowly sat up.
His hands trembled and reached towards the sword around his waist, holding the hilt tightly.
His heart was filled with fear and helplessness, as if this was his only choice.
Chachatu finally made up his mind. At the night he chose, Chachatu finally made up his mind and chose the dead end of suicide.
He gritted his teeth tightly and bit his tongue hard. In an instant, severe pain came and blood gushed out of his mouth.
His body slowly fell down, his consciousness gradually became blurred, but he felt a little relieved in his heart.
The next morning, the sun shone on the ground, but it could not dispel the heavy haze.
The soldier ran over in panic and reported anxiously: "General, it's not good! Check the picture and he...he's dead!"
When Zhao Yun heard this, his face suddenly changed. He immediately stood up and walked into the room quickly.
I saw Chachatu lying there quietly, his face pale and no longer breathed.
Zhao Yun's mood was very complicated, and the heaviness was pressing on his heart like a huge rock. He frowned slightly, his eyes full of helplessness and self-blame.
"I haven't completed the task." He sighed in his heart.
The soldier looked at Zhao Yun's sad expression and hurriedly said, "General, this is not your business, Cha Chatu himself is going to commit suicide." Zhao Yun remained silent. He knew that the soldier was talking about the facts, but the guilt in his heart could not dissipate.
He stood there quietly, looking at the body of Chachatu, with all kinds of thoughts.
Zhao Yun sighed slightly, and then ordered the soldiers to say, "Although Chachatu is dead, we must continue to set off on the road. Take his body with you and let the Prime Minister take a look."
The soldiers immediately took action and prepared to set off with their bodies with a solemn expression.
At this moment, the shopkeeper rushed over with anger.
He put his hands on his hips and said loudly: "You can't leave! It's unlucky for people to die here, you have to pay for it!"
The shopkeeper's eyes were filled with anger and dissatisfaction, as if Zhao Yun and the others had committed an unforgivable sin.
Zhao Yun frowned and looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, this matter is not what we want."
The shopkeeper refused to give in and shouted, "No! You have to pay for it now, otherwise you don't want to leave!"
The soldiers looked angry and wanted to come forward to argue, but were stopped by Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun said calmly: "Shopkeeper, we have urgent tasks, so we can't delay here for too long. Please be content and we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
The shopkeeper was still relentless, blocking in front of Zhao Yun and others, shouting: "You can't just leave like this, you must pay for it!" Zhao Yun's patience was exhausted, and anger surged in his heart. His face darkened, his eyes instantly became cold, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed the shopkeeper's neck.
Zhao Yun said coldly: "I'm dead here. It's good if I didn't cause trouble for your inn. Do you still dare to ask for money? Your inn hasn't taken the favor of people. Shouldn't you be responsible?"
His tone was filled with majesty and anger, which made people shudder.
The shopkeeper's neck was grabbed by Zhao Yun and he was immediately frightened.
His face turned red and his eyes were filled with panic.
Looking at Zhao Yun's fierce look and looking at the serious expressions of the soldiers around him, he immediately did not dare to say anything more.
The shopkeeper was very regretful: "I just wanted to get some money, but I didn't expect to get into this evil god. Now it seems that this method is not working."
His eyes showed helplessness and fear, and his body trembled involuntarily.
Seeing that the shopkeeper stopped saying a word, Zhao Yun let go of his hand, glared at him fiercely, and said, "Hmph, if you dare to stop him, don't blame me for being polite."
After saying that, he led the soldiers, carrying Chachatu's body, and striding away from the inn.
The shopkeeper stood there, looking at their backs as they were leaving, sighing a long sigh, feeling helpless.
Zhao Yun and others rushed to Youzhou Prime Minister's Mansion without stopping.
Xi Yu was sitting in the mansion when he heard the servant’s report that Zhao Yun was back.
His eyes lit up and he immediately ordered: "Let Zhao Yun come in quickly."
After a while, Zhao Yun walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion in a hurry.
His face was exhausted, but his eyes were still firm.
Seeing Xi Yu, Zhao Yun immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "I will meet the Prime Minister."
Xi Yu quickly raised his hand and said, "No gifts, tell me what happened and what happened in the Kushan Empire."
Zhao Yun stood up and began to tell with a serious expression.
His voice was calm and powerful, bringing together experiences and encounters along the way.
"Prime Minister, I will be ordered to go to the Kushan Empire and go through hardships. Unfortunately, Chachatu committed suicide halfway through." Zhao Yun's tone was full of regret and helplessness.
Xi Yu frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, including accidents about the development of things and concerns about the future situation.
After a while, Xi Yu slowly said, "This incident was indeed beyond my expectations. However, thank you for your hard work."
Zhao Yun nodded slightly and then asked: "Prime Minister, what should I do about Chachatu's body?"
Xi Yu held his chin with his hand and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "Let the soldiers hang Chachatu's body on the city tower, and then tell everyone what happened."
Zhao Yun took the order and quickly arranged for soldiers to hang Chachatu's body on the city tower.
Soon, this move attracted a lot of attention at the entrance of the city tower. People gathered around, whispered and discussed. Some people showed doubts on their faces, not knowing what was going on; some people looked nervous, as if they had a premonition that something big happened.
On the city tower, the soldiers looked solemn and guarded Chachatu's body. They straightened their backs and stared firmly at the crowd below, waiting for further instructions.
And in every corner of the city, news spread quickly, and people were speculating on the reason behind this incident.
Zhao Yun stood on the city tower and spoke loudly about the relevant situation.
His words came into everyone's ears clearly, allowing everyone to have a clear understanding of the whole story of the matter.
"It turns out that foreigners actually want to assassinate the prime minister, it's really damn!" People talked angrily, their faces full of indignation.
Many people began to insult, and their words were filled with condemnation of the assassin and protection of the prime minister.
"It's okay if this foreign king dies, otherwise he will definitely be punished by the prime minister." Someone said loudly.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they were filled with awe of the prime minister's majesty.
The atmosphere below the city tower was warm and intense, and people's emotions were completely ignited.
Their loyalty and support for the Prime Minister were fully demonstrated at this moment.
Zhao Yun looked at everyone's reactions and felt a sense of emotion.
He knew that the Prime Minister's status in people's hearts was so high that no one could violate it.
At this time, the wind on the city tower blew slightly against Zhao Yun's clothes. He looked at the excited people below with a solemn expression. He secretly sighed in his heart how high the Prime Minister's prestige in the hearts of the people.
Among the crowd, an old man stroked his beard and said indignantly: "These foreigners dared to assassinate the Prime Minister, which was simply a death sentence. The Prime Minister worked hard for our people, but they repaid their grudges for their kindness."
The young man next to him clenched his fists and echoed: "That's right, they're so hateful."
People's discussions were heard one after another, and accusations against foreign assassins were heard.
The body of Chachatu hanging on the city tower seemed to be silently telling the thrilling assassination.
Zhao Yun looked at this scene and felt more determined to protect the Prime Minister.
He knew that only under the leadership of the prime minister could the people live a stable life.
Although the storm has temporarily subsided, he also understood that the road ahead is still long and they must always be vigilant and guard against any possible threats.
Xi Yu walked into Liu Xie's palace with a calm expression in a solemn costume.
He bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Liu Xie sat on the dragon throne, raised his eyes slightly, with a hint of curiosity in his expression.
"What's the matter?"
Xi Yu straightened his body and said slowly: "Your Majesty, a foreign assassin wanted to assassin Yu Chen before, and the assassin Chachatu committed suicide while being escorted."
Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
A hint of relief appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly and said, "That's damn. Since he committed suicide, then that's it."
Xi Yu bowed again and said, "If Your Majesty has nothing to do, I will say goodbye."
However, Liu Xie said again: "Wait, stay here and play chess with me."
Xi Yu said respectfully: "I obey the order."
A hint of loneliness was revealed in Liu Xie's eyes. He sighed softly and said, "I am very boring in this palace. You can play chess with me to relieve boredom."
The two of them came to the chessboard to sit down, and Liu Xie led Hei to go first. He stared at the chessboard with his eyes focused, as if he was thinking about some major decision.
Xi Yu did not dare to neglect and focused on Liu Xie's every move.
On the chessboard, black and white chess pieces intertwined, and the situation was complicated.
As night fell, the Prime Minister's Mansion was shrouded in tranquility. Xi Yu dragged his slightly tired body back to the mansion.
He was concerned about Ouyang Linlin and came straight to her room.
When I opened the door, I saw a few girls serving Ouyang Linlin carefully.
When Xi Yu saw this scene, he felt a little relieved. He walked to Ouyang Linlin and said gently: "Linlin, you must take care of your baby."
Ouyang Linlin looked up slightly, looked at Xi Yu, her eyes full of tenderness. She nodded gently and said, "I can."
However, Ouyang Linlin continued, "I heard from Xiaohong that the city tower is very lively today."
Xi Yu frowned slightly. He didn't want Ouyang Linlin to worry about these things.
So he whispered: "You don't have to take some trivial matters to heart. Now your first priority is to raise your baby well and create a good environment for our children."
Ouyang Linlin heard the concern in Xi Yu's words, and she smiled slightly and stopped asking questions.
Xi Yu looked at Ouyang Linlin's quiet face, and a warm current surged in his heart. He secretly vowed that he must protect Ouyang Linlin and their unborn children.
Xi Yu came out of Ouyang Linlin's room and was about to walk towards her room, but unexpectedly saw Xi Shi standing quietly at the door.
Xi Shi's face was a little pale, her eyes were full of worry. She whispered: "Husband, I only realized today that someone was going to assassinate you. When I think of this, I feel scared."
Xi Yu looked at Xi Shi's worried look and felt a little moved.
He walked to Xi Shi and comforted gently: "Don't worry, the person who can kill me in this world has not yet appeared."
Xi Shi looked up slightly and looked at Xi Yu's resolute face, and the worries in his heart were slightly relieved.
But she couldn't help but say, "You must be careful, I don't want you to be in any danger."
Xi Yu gently held Xi Shi's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will protect myself and you." His eyes were filled with tenderness and firmness, which made Xi Shi feel extremely relieved.
At this moment, a sudden impulse surged in Xi Yu's heart. He smiled wickedly and hugged Xi Shi directly.
Xi Shi was startled by this sudden action. She kept shaking her body and blushing, saying, "Husband, I am not serving you tonight, but let you go and find Mrs. Cai."
Xi Yu refused to let go. He leaned close to Xi Shi and whispered in her ear: "No, I want you."
Xi Shi's heartbeat instantly accelerated. She was both nervous and shy, and didn't know what to do.
But she knew in her heart that she could not disobey the Prime Minister's wishes. So she bit her lip gently and stopped struggling.
Xi Yu hugged Xi Shi and walked towards the room with big strides.
His eyes were filled with desire and possessiveness, as if Xi Shi was his exclusive treasure.
Xi Shi snuggled tightly in Xi Yu's arms, her heart full of contradictions and uneasiness.
Xi Shi looked at Xi Yu's hot gaze and became more and more determined that he could not serve him at this moment.
She took a deep breath and mustered up the courage again and said, "Prime Minister, I really can't serve you. Because if I serve you tonight, you will not be able to report to Mrs. Cai. I don't want to create a sisterly conflict." Her eyes were sincere and worried, and her cheeks were slightly red.
After hearing Xi Shi's words, Xi Yu was slightly stunned and began to think in his heart.
He had to admit that Xi Shi's statement made sense. If he exhausted his energy from Xi Shi, he would really not be able to explain it when he went to Mrs. Cai.
Thinking of this, he sighed softly.
Xi Yu slowly let go of the hand holding Xi Shi, held her hand, and said with admiration in his eyes: "You are so sensible."
Xi Shi lowered his head slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that her persistence was correct, which not only avoided possible conflicts, but also maintained the harmony of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xi Yu looked at Xi Shi's well-behaved appearance and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He secretly decided that he would cherish the women around him more in the future and let them live a stable and happy life in the prime minister's mansion.
Xi Shi gently blessed her body and then slowly retreated.
Her figure gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor, leaving a faint fragrance.
Xi Yu looked at the direction of Xi Shi's departure and was slightly ecstatic for a moment.
He felt that the women in the yard were not jealous, which was a good phenomenon.
