At this moment, Linglong had ulterior motives and wanted to get Xi Yu drunk.
She kept comforting Xi Yu to drink, and her delicate voice seemed to have an irresistible magic.
Xu Dabao, who was standing beside him, was abnormal and urgently asked Xi Yu to drink as soon as possible.
Because he understood what the wife meant.
A hint of undetectable cunning flashed in his eyes, which was very different from his usual appearance.
But Xi Yu pretended to know nothing and drank leisurely.
He thought in his heart that ancient wine was just a pediatric department compared to his previous life. Want to get drunk? How could that be possible?
Xi Yu decided to continue pretending to be unaware of it and see what tricks they could do.
He drank wine glass after glass, but his eyes remained awake.
Linglong and Xu Dabao were waiting anxiously, hoping that Xi Yu would get drunk as soon as possible.
After a while, Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and his body began to shake, as if he was really drunk.
Seeing this, Linglong was overjoyed and hurriedly signaled Xu Dabao to help Xi Yu into the room.
Xu Dabao quickly stepped forward, carefully helped Xi Yu up, and walked towards the room step by step.
Xi Yu pressed all the weight of his body on Xu Dabao and continued to pretend to be drunk and hazy.
After entering the room, Linglong couldn't wait to close the door, her eyes full of anticipation.
She looked at Xi Yu who was drunk on the bed, and was thinking about the questions she was about to ask.
Although Xi Yu closed his eyes, he could feel Linglong's eager gaze. He smiled in his heart, waiting to see what Linglong would do next.
Linglong walked in with hurried steps, her eyes full of vigilance and confusion.
She stared at Xi Yu straight and asked sternly: "Who are you? What is your purpose in coming here?"
Xi Yu squinted his eyes slightly, looking drunk and hazy.
He deliberately shook his body and said vaguely: "I am a businessman. Someone posted a notice. Who can find Princess Anxi to receive a reward, so I came here."
Linglong was surprised when she heard this. She obviously didn't expect Xi Yu to give such an answer.
She stared at Xi Yu tightly, trying to find a flaw in his expression, but Xi Yu's acting skills were too superb.
Seeing Linglong not speaking, Xi Yu immediately pretended to be asleep. After a while, his even snoring sounded in the room.
Linglong looked at Xi Yu helplessly, but her doubts became stronger and stronger.
Is this man who suddenly appeared really just for a reward? Or has an ulterior motive?
Xu Dabao looked at his wife Linglong and asked anxiously: "Madam, what should I do?"
Linglong's eyes sterned and she said decisively: "Go to throw him away just now. There is a dry well behind her. Throw him into the water."
When Xu Dabao heard this, he was very satisfied and immediately took action, carried the drunk Xi Yu in his arms and walked towards the dry well.
Xi Yu, who was being carried on his back at this time, was shocked and thought to himself that this woman was really cruel.
He tried hard to keep his body loose and prevent Dabao and Linglong from noticed something strange.
When he arrived at the well, Xu Dabao was about to put down the show. At this critical moment, the secret guard suddenly appeared and quickly grabbed Xu Dabao's neck with a sword.
Xu Dabao was stunned and his body trembled involuntarily, and the Xi Yu in his hand was quickly put down.
Xi Yu immediately stood up, and Xu Dabao realized that Xi Yu was not drunk.
His eyes were filled with astonishment and fear, and he realized that he was in great danger.
The secret guard looked at Xi Yu and asked, "Master, what should I do next?"
Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Put him aside first."
The secret guards followed Xi Yu's instructions and pushed Xu Dabao aside and stood beside Xi Yu vigilantly.
Xi Yu looked cold and decisively ordered the secret guard to put Linglong down the well.
On the other side, Linglong returned to the room and thought about the problem with worry.
"Someone actually posted a notice. Could it be that the official of the Han Kingdom already knows it? It must have something to do with that hateful guy from the Anxi Empire." Linglong frowned, and the uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger.
Just as she was in deep thought, she suddenly felt a sense of coldness in front of her.
A secret guard appeared beside him like a ghost, and his speed was so fast that Linglong had no time to react.
She widened her eyes and looked at the secret guards in horror, and a sense of despair surged in her heart.
She tried to resist, but the strength of the secret guard was far beyond her imagination and easily controlled her.
The secret guard had no expression on his face, like a machine executing an order, and walked towards the dry well without mercy with Linglong.
Linglong was carried on her shoulders by the secret guards, and her heart was filled with fear and anger.
She asked the secret guard loudly: "Who are you? Why did you arrest me?"
However, the secret guard did not say a word, but just carried her forward silently.
Linglong struggled desperately, constantly kicking her legs, trying to break free from the shackles of the dark guards, but her power seemed so insignificant in front of the dark guards, and it was useless.
When they came to the well, Linglong saw Xi Yu standing there with a cold look and didn't look drunk at all.
Xu Dabao was lying on the ground and moaning constantly, obviously because he was injured.
Xi Yu looked at Linglong, who was brought by the secret guard, without any sympathy in his eyes.
He said coldly: "You are so cruel, this is the end you deserve."
The secret guard threw Linglong into the well without mercy. Linglong screamed in horror and his body fell rapidly.
Soon, she entered the well, and despair instantly enveloped her. She screamed in despair in the well, her voice full of fear and helplessness.
Xi Yu stood by the well and said coldly: "This is your well. You probably haven't walked in yet. Let's try it there today."
There was no slight pity on his face, only coldness and determination.
Linglong in the well kept shouting in the darkness, and his voice echoed among the walls of the well.
She tried to find a place to climb, but the well wall was slippery and she had no way to focus.
She was filled with regret, regretting that she shouldn't have been so vicious, and even more regret not seeing through Ji Yu's disguise as soon as possible.
Xi Yu ordered the secret guards in an orderly manner and imprisoned Xu Dabao.
Then, he tidied up his clothes and said calmly: "I'm going back to my room to sleep."
It seemed as if everything that just happened was just a trivial little episode.
The other servants in the mansion had no idea what had happened.
They were still busy with their daily affairs, and the whole mansion looked calm.
However, under this seemingly calm appearance, undercurrents surge.
Xi Yu returned to the room and lay on the bed, but she was not sleepy at all.
It was late at night, and Guan Yu was at Liu Bei's place, but he was full of anxiety. Seeing Liu Bei busy weaving straw sandals, Guan Yu felt that he had nothing to do.
He sighed in his heart, how could a real man be so idle? After thinking about it, he felt that he would definitely find something to do tomorrow.
Seeing this, Liu Bei quickly comforted him not to do so, claiming that he could support him.
However, Guan Yu shook his head firmly and said bluntly: "How can this be done?"
It really didn't work. He thought he would go home and live with his family, but he felt that he was not doing well now and had no shame to go home.
Guan Yu was deeply entangled and didn't know where to go.
His majestic figure seemed particularly lonely in the night, as if he was thinking hard about his future path.
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu's entangled expression and said sincerely again: "Chang Yun, don't think too much for now, just stay here and settle for a few days."
When Guan Yu heard this, he pondered for a moment. Although he still had many concerns in his heart, he saw that Liu Bei was so sincere and he couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to agree.
At this time, the atmosphere in the room was slightly calmer.
Although Guan Yu was still uneasy, he had let go of those mixed thoughts for the time being.
He knew that there was no better choice at the moment, so he could only settle down here first and then make plans.
On a quiet night, Liu Bei slept very heavily and was completely unaware of the movements of the outside world.
However, Guan Yu heard an abnormal sound keenly.
I saw a thief sneaking into the yard and looking around sneakily.
Guan Yu walked out quickly without saying a word and asked sternly: "What are you doing?"
The thief looked up and saw that Guan Yu was so tall and mighty, and suddenly became scared.
His eyes rolled and he quickly stammered: "This hero, I... I'm drunk and went to the wrong place. I'm really embarrassed, I'll leave now, I'll leave now."
Guan Yu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Hmph, is it really such a coincidence? I came here in the wrong place in the middle of the night? Are you lying?"
The thief waved his hand quickly and said in panic: "I dare not, hero, I am really a mistake. You have a lot of sir, so let me go this time."
Guan Yu looked at the thief's back as he fled in a hurry and sneered in his heart: "Hmph, you have to pay a price to steal things."
After saying that, Guan Yu rushed forward and beat the thief with a sharp blow.
The thief was beaten so hard that he begged for mercy: "Good man, please spare me! Good man, please spare me! I will never dare to do it again."
The movement here quickly woke Liu Bei up.
Liu Bei quickly walked into the yard wearing clothes. Seeing Guan Yu beating someone, he hurriedly asked, "Chang Yun, what's going on?"
Guan Yu stopped the movement in his hand and said angrily: "Brother, this person is a thief who came to steal things. How can I let him go easily?"
Liu Bei frowned slightly, looked at the trembling thief on the ground, thought for a moment and said, "Chang Yun, let's stop first. Now we should be based on benevolence. Although this little thief is hateful, he doesn't have to take such a heavy hand. Let's ask him why he steals. If there is any difficulty, we can help him."
Guan Yu was still angry when he heard Liu Bei's words, but he was not easy to disobey. He had to stand aside and glar at the thief.
In the yard, the thief was full of horror and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy. His voice trembled, "Two heroes, please spare me! I really had no choice. I had an old mother to support me. This year I encountered a natural disaster and had no choice but to do this stealing thing." As he said, he kept kowtowing, his eyes full of prayers.
Liu Bei frowned slightly, with a hint of pity in his expression, and asked, "What you said is the truth?"
The thief raised his head and said anxiously: "Hero, the young man dare not lie. If there is a lie, it will be struck by lightning."
Guan Yu stood aside, his face full of anger, his eyes wide open, his hands were wide open, and he snorted coldly: "Brother, there is no need to pity him. These thieves all lied to be good people, but is this really the case? Who knows if he is lying?"
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu, then at the thief, and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Liu Bei said slowly: "The clouds are long, so you can't generalize them."
Liu Bei looked at the thief and said earnestly: "Although I make a living by selling some straw sandals, I can only eat and drink by myself, and I am not a rich man. It is really a mistake for you to come here to steal things today. But since you are here, I will stay here tonight. I will go to your house tomorrow. If the situation is true, I am willing to fund some."
The thief never expected Liu Bei to be so kind, and then kowtowed immediately like pounding garlic and said excitedly: "A good man is very kind and great, but the little man is unforgettable. The little man is called Zhao Qiang. Thank you, the hero, thank you!"
Liu Bei nodded slightly and asked gently: "Your name is Zhao Qiang? Well, there is an empty place in the woodshed. If you don't dislike it, just live here."
Zhao Qiang responded quickly: "It's totally OK, it's totally OK. I'm so grateful." After saying that, he quickly stood up and hurried to the woodshed, his heart full of gratitude for Liu Bei and a glimmer of hope for the future.
After returning to the room, Guan Yu frowned and blamed: "Brother, you are so kind. How can you let such a little thief go easily? What if he cheats again?"
Liu Bei smiled slightly and said calmly: "The clouds are long, it is not easy for everyone. If what he said is true, why don't we help him?"
Guan Yu stopped, sighed slightly, and said, "Since that's the case, I will take Zhao Qiang to the house tomorrow. I want to see if what he said is true or false."
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu, nodded, and said, "Okay, it's always right for Yun Chang to be more cautious. If there is any situation, come back in time to inform me."
The next morning, Xi Yu got up early.
He came to the wellhead and many servants around him felt very surprised to see him, after all, they didn't know him at all.
However, seeing Xi Yu's extraordinary demeanor, everyone thought that it must be the guest attracted by his wife.
Xi Yu stood by the wellhead and shouted to Linglong below: "Do you want to come up?"
Last night, Linglong struggled underground, but in the end it was useless. Later, she simply gave up and slept there for a night of sleep.
At this moment, when Linglong woke up from her sleep when she heard Xi Yu's shouting, she felt very cold all over.
She looked up at the wellhead, her eyes full of anger and reluctance, and responded loudly: "Don't be proud, sooner or later someone will come to save me."
Xi Yu just smiled coldly and said, "Hmph, don't have hope, reflect on what you did in this well."
Linglong, who was underground, bit her lip and shouted at Xi Yu from the inside, "What the hell are you going to do?"
Xi Yu hugged his hands in front of his chest and said with a cold expression: "Of course I'm asking you to tell the truth. Are you Princess Anxi?"
Linglong's eyes flashed, and she quickly considered the pros and cons in her heart. After a moment, she asked, "Can I go up by myself after telling the truth?"
Xi Yu said confidently: "Of course."
Linglong had no choice but to admit, knowing that she had no choice but to admit, "Yes, I am."
Xi Yu's lips raised slightly, and a victory smile appeared, and said, "I would have said that earlier. Since that's the case, I'll let someone take the ladder."
After Xi Yu ordered someone to take the ladder, the people looked at each other, full of doubts.
They didn't know Xi Yu, and they were very surprised by the person who suddenly appeared and ordered them.
One of the servants plucked up his courage and asked, "Who are you? Why did you order us?"
Xi Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Your wife fell into the well. Wouldn't you save me?"
When the servants heard this, they were shocked.
They never expected that the wife would fall into the well and act in a panic.
Some went to find a suitable ladder, while others followed Xi Yu to the well.
Everyone gathered around the wellhead, looking at the bottomless darkness, and their hearts were filled with worry.
They didn't know how their wife was in the hole, so they just hoped to rescue her as soon as possible.
Xi Yu stood aside with a complicated expression.
Although he successfully forced Linglong to admit his identity, he couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment. After all, he didn't want to really let Linglong have any accidents underground.
As time passed, the servant who took the ladder finally rushed back panting, and a tense rescue operation was about to begin.
With the help of Xi Yu and his subordinates, Linglong was finally rescued from the well.
When the servants saw Linglong's embarrassed look, they were all silent, and no one dared to ask what was going on. They were full of doubts and uneasiness, and at the same time they were wondering where Xu Dabao went.
Xi Yu accompanied Linglong back to the room, and both of them remained silent along the way.
Linglong was full of resentment, but she had no way to attack.
After a while, the villagers in the yard began to talk.
"Who is that stranger?"
"Is it because the lady has found a new favorite?"
Various speculations spread among the crowd. They looked at Linglong's room curiously, trying to find some answers from the closed door.
When she returned to the room, Linglong's eyes were like fire erupting, she glared at Xi Yu and asked sternly: "Who are you?"
Xi Yu looked calm and said coldly: "Now you are not qualified to ask me questions, I am the only one who asks you."
Linglong was so angry that she trembled all over, but she was helpless.
She knew very well that she was currently at a disadvantage and could only suppress the anger in her heart.
Then, under the strong pressure of Xi Yu, Linglong had to continue confessing.
Her eyes showed pain and helplessness, and she said slowly: "I am indeed a princess. A coup occurred in Anxu Kingdom. My father, the old king, was killed by my cousin. I escaped by chance and fled to the Han Kingdom. I originally wanted to seek help from the Han Dynasty, but in the end I failed to do it. The current king, my cousin, planned to usurp the throne, and his name was Hesheli. Although he claimed on the surface that he wanted me to go back, he actually wanted to murder me."
