Cai Wenshuang hurriedly advised: "Dad, don't do this. The melon that is forced is not sweet. Don't make things difficult for him and let him go."
Old Cai glared at Cai Wenshuang fiercely and snorted: "Don't interrupt, there is no explanation for this matter today, no one can leave!"
As he said that, he took another step forward and blocked Xi Yu's way, and he did not give in at all.
Seeing that Lao Cai was so stubborn, Xi Yu felt helpless, so he could only reach into his arms and slowly take out a token. The patterns carved on the token were complex and exquisite, and there was a cold light flashing under the glimmer of light. The big "王" in the middle was particularly eye-catching.
"I am the prime minister of the current dynasty. I didn't want to reveal my identity during this intimate trip, but today's affairs were really forced." Xi Yu looked serious, his voice was low but with unquestionable majesty.
When Cai Wenshuang and Lao Cai heard this, they couldn't help but widen their eyes, their faces full of shock.
Old Cai came to his senses first. He frowned, stared at the token in Xi Yu's hand, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, do you think you can pretend to be the prime minister by just taking out a token? How could I be deceived by you so easily! Could it be that I saw that my father and daughter are easy to bully, so I made a fake thing to scare us!"
Cai Wenshuang pulled Lao Cai's sleeve and whispered: "Dad, what if it's true..."
Old Cai suddenly shook Cai Wenshuang's hand away, and a hint of stubbornness and reluctance appeared in his eyes.
"Bah! How could the Prime Minister appear in our courtyard for no reason? I think he is just a disciple and wants to get out with a fake identity!"
Xi Yu saw Lao Cai's reaction, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He knew that it would not be so easy to get out today if he wanted to get out easily. Xi Yu's face darkened and his voice became a little colder.
"Since that's the case, you can just stop believing it, you'll be responsible for the consequences at that time."
After saying that, he stood with his hands behind his back, and actually acted like he would not leave today.
After saying that, Xi Yu turned around and wanted to return to the room, but at this moment, Lao Cai flashed and bullied himself like a ghost. His thin hand instantly grabbed Xi Yu's collar.
Old Cai's eyes sterned, his breath flowed in his body, and he suddenly used a fierce martial arts move.
Xi Yu was stopped before he could resist.
Lao Cai took action without any mercy and grabbed Xi Yu, moved quickly, and rushed into another room in the cave.
Xi Yu was thrown into a dark room by Lao Cai. He could not see his five fingers around him. The air was filled with a pungent and damp smell, and water droplets seemed to seep on the walls, which kept falling down, making it look particularly groggy in this quiet environment.
Lao Cai stood at the door and said coldly.
"Dare to escape privately, this is the end!"
After saying that, he closed the door without any mercy.
The sound of the door closing echoed in this small space, as if it was about to isolate the only trace of anger.
But Xi Yu was not panicked at all. He groped in the dark for a while, found a relatively dry place based on his feelings, and sat down slowly, with a calm expression on his face, as if it was not a big deal to be locked up here.
I was thinking in my heart how to get out of this predicament and how to deal with the possible troubles that may arise in the future.
After a while, Lao Cai walked out with a calm face, frowned and looked at Cai Wenshuang, and said in anger: "Wen Shuang, the conversations between our father and daughter were probably heard by that guy. He knew that you admire the Prime Minister in your heart and tried to pretend to be the Prime Minister to fool us. Such behavior is really despicable and shameless!"
After hearing this, Cai Wenshuang bit his lip, nodded gently, and responded: "Yes, Dad, maybe it's really as you said. Now that I think about it, there is indeed such a possibility, your analysis is very reasonable."
When Lao Cai heard this, he was so angry that he glared at Cai Wenshuang, raised his tone and scolded: "Hmph, remember it for me, and you are not allowed to look at outsiders anymore. If there is such a situation again, don't blame me for being rude to you. Our father and daughter cannot be controlled by outsiders!"
Cai Wenshuang hurriedly lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "Daughter, Daddy, please calm down."
But I felt vaguely in my heart that things might not be as simple as my father thought.
After staying in this dim and damp room for a while, Xi Yu gradually felt sleepy, but looking around, there was no bed. In desperation, he had to find a relatively flat corner and slowly lay down.
He knew in his heart that if he stayed here for a long time and refused to leave, the secret guards who secretly protected him might notice something strange and might come to rescue him.
But when he thought about it, he couldn't help but worry. Old Cai was very skilled in martial arts. Even if he knew that he was the prime minister's true identity, in order to keep some secrets, he might have the intention to kill and choose to kill people to silence him.
After all, this is remote and no one else can see it. If something really happens, it will be impossible for the gods to know it.
When he thought of this, Xi Yu's calm heart began to panic, and cold sweat appeared on his back. He couldn't help but clench his fists and secretly prayed that the secret guards would notice the abnormality earlier and come to resolve the crisis.
On the top of Kunlun Mountain, the morning light shines, and the soft light covers the continuous mountains with a layer of golden gauze.
Taoist Master Qingfeng looked solemn and called Guanglingzi into the house, with a hint of blame in his eyes.
"Guanglingzi, let me ask you, have you ever acted rudely to Luo Xiaoyu? During my retreat with Master Mingyue, you asked Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong to take on too many errands. Is this a matter?"
Guanglingzi's heart tightened, but a hint of resentment flashed across his face.
"Master, my disciple did not do anything excessive. Perhaps Na Luo Xiaoyu complained in front of you and deliberately arranged us. My disciple was really wronged!"
He lowered his head slightly, clenched his hands unconsciously, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
Taoist Qingfeng's eyes were like torches, staring at Guanglingzi tightly.
"If he hadn't been wronged, he would never have mentioned it to me at all. But you are a little impetuous on weekdays. Now, don't argue about this matter, let's be honest!"
Guanglingzi curled his lips. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to be too presumptuous under the majesty of his master.
"Master, my disciples just asked them to do something within their ability, and never deliberately made things difficult for them. I thought they were lazy and afraid of being punished, so the evil people complained first!" The words were a bit angry.
Taoist Master Qingfeng shook his head slightly and sighed.
"Guanglingzi, you have been in my school for many years, but you have not yet understood what the right way is. Treating people with good deeds is the foundation of practice. Na Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong are the people brought here by the Prime Minister. Although we, as practitioners, should transcend the world and not cling to the powerful, we should not completely ignore the prime minister's face. This time you need to reflect on your own mistakes."
He also said: "And they didn't complain. We guessed that if you wronged them, they would actually complain."
Guanglingzi listened clearly in the room, his face turned white and red.
After the master finished speaking, he lowered his head and slowly walked out of the room with heavy steps. The usual spirit had long disappeared, and he looked dirt-faced and listless.
He was secretly upset and regretted his original behavior. At the same time, he also had more resentment towards Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong, but he was helpless. He knew that he had hit the master's "gust" this time and could only bear all this silently.
Guanglingzi took heavy steps and quickly returned to the brothers.
Before he could stand firm, several Taoist priests surrounded him and asked curiously: "Senior brother, Master, what's wrong with you just now?"
Guanglingzi sighed helplessly, his face full of regret, and he slowly said, "Oh, I misunderstood Luo Xiaoyu. He did not inform his master, but the two masters were extremely intelligent. I must have guessed the general situation of the matter, but I have always been sure that he told the secret. It was really a big mistake."
He shook his head as he said, with a hint of self-blame and depression in his eyes.
When the Taoist priests heard this, they couldn't help looking at each other, and some people muttered in a low voice: "What should we do? We are going to offend the Prime Minister like that before?"
For a moment, everyone looked worried and secretly worried about the consequences of this incident.
Guanglingzi fell into deep annoyance and didn't know how to make up for the mistakes he had made.
Guanglingzi lowered his head, his face full of shame, and slowly spoke: "No matter what, this incident should be something that should be carefully reflected on. Looking back on that period, what we did was indeed bullying Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong, the two guests."
His voice was low and a hint of regret, echoing in the quiet air.
After hearing his words, the Taoist priests around him looked at each other, all of whom showed a thoughtful look.
Some frowned slightly, as if recalling the past; some shook their heads gently, as if they were expressing their past behavior.
For a moment, everyone fell into silence, only the breeze from the mountains gently brushed across their clothes, making a rustling sound, as if they were also sighing silently at their actions.
A long time later, an older Taoist priest whispered: "What we are saying is very true. We practitioners have made mistakes in this anger and ignorance. We should not. In the future, we should focus on good thoughts and should not act like this again."
The night was as dark as ink, and it was heavily shrouded in the extremely cold land, and another night quietly came.
Xi Yu curled up in this dark and damp room, his belly was already empty, and hunger came like a tide, and his stomach and intestines were also croaking.
After a whole day, Lao Cai was cruel to give him a bite of food.
Thinking of this, Xi Yu couldn't help but feel angry and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Just as he cursed, the door slowly opened a crack and a faint light penetrated.
Xi Yu looked up and saw Cai Wenshuang walking in carefully holding a tray, holding a fire pleat in the other hand. As she entered, the bean-like fire light also slightly illuminated the dim room.
Xi Yu's eyes were on fire, and he stared at Cai Wenshuang and scolded: "Are you planning to starve me to death here?"
Cai Wenshuang pursed her lips, lowered her head and said nothing, but silently placed the tray on the ground and turned around and wanted to leave.
But at this moment, Xi Yu's figure flashed and he took action quickly like a ghost. He grabbed Cai Wenshuang's neck tightly. The force was so strong that Cai Wenshuang's face turned red instantly, and his eyes were filled with fear and surprise.
Xi Yu looked cold and said in a low voice: "Hmph, in order to let your father let me go today, I was forced to take you as a hostage. You'd better cooperate well and don't force me to do something more extreme."
Cai Wenshuang was shocked and scared. She subconsciously broke Ji Yu's hand and wanted to break free, but the hand was as motionless as iron pliers. Her eyes gradually filled with tears, and she said in a crying voice: "You...you can't do this..."
But Xi Yu was full of heart and just wanted to get out, so he couldn't care about her begging.
Cai Wenshuang blushed, his eyes full of anger and grievance, and said with difficulty: "What's the difference between you... what's the difference between you and that robber?"
A hint of embarrassment and helplessness flashed across Xi Yu's face, and he gritted his teeth and responded: "I don't want to do this either. I know in my heart that this way has indeed lost my identity and lost my airs, but I really have no other way at the moment."
After saying that, although he relaxed a little, he still pinched Cai Wenshuang's neck tightly and pushed her out the door half-forcedly.
Cai Wenshuang struggled while shouting in a crying voice: "Let me go, my father won't let you go. You will only make things worse and worse!"
But Xi Yu was determined to use this to get rid of the predicament and had no time to think about the consequences. He just gritted the bullet and held Cai Wenshuang to move out step by step.
Old Cai was in a bad mood today, so he drank some wine and was drowsy and drowsy. Not long after he lay down, he suddenly heard his daughter's anxious shouts coming from outside.
He was suddenly shocked, and his drunkenness was scared a little. He hurriedly got up from the bed, and didn't even bother to put on his shoes, so he ran towards the direction where the sound came.
As soon as he went out, he saw the scene that made him angry - Xi Yu was tightly pinching his daughter Cai Wenshuang's neck.
Lao Cai's face turned red in an instant, his eyes were staring like a copper bell, and he shouted loudly: "You bastard, let go of my daughter!"
Xi Yu's expression remained unchanged and responded coldly: "Hmph, if you don't let me go, then you don't think about seeing your daughter again. I will do what I say, don't force me to do something more ruthless!"
Old Cai was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and his fists were clattering, but when he saw his daughter in Xi Yu's hand, he didn't dare to act rashly for a moment. He was angry and anxious, and secretly thought about how to resolve the difficult situation in front of him.
Old Cai suppressed his anger and said gritting his teeth: "If you dare to touch a hair of my daughter, I will tell you that you will die without a complete body!" But his eyes couldn't help but glance at Xi Yu's hand that was pinching his daughter's neck, full of worry.
Xi Yu sneered and said, "I didn't want to do this, you forced me to do it. As long as you let me leave safely, I will let your daughter go, otherwise..."
As he said that, Cai Wenshuang exerted a slight force on his hand and let out a painful humble moan.
Seeing this, Lao Cai was anxious, and beads of sweat as big as beans on his forehead rolled down. He knew in his heart that the man in front of him was unknown, but it was a bit difficult to take the hostage so calmly. But how could he take the risk of his daughter's life?
"Okay, I'll let you go, but you must ensure that you won't hurt my daughter at all!" Lao Cai said gritting his teeth.
Xi Yu nodded.
"As long as you don't play tricks, I will naturally keep my promise."
Lao Cai slowly turned sideways, giving way out a passage, but his eyes were always on Xi Yu with vigilance.
Xi Yu held Cai Wenshuang hostage and moved carefully towards the exit, step by step, the atmosphere was as tense as a full bowstring, about to break out.
Xi Yu held Cai Wenshuang hostage and hurried out of the cave entrance.
As soon as I came out, the thick dark night came to my face, and it was pitch black all around me, with only a few sparse starlight flashing faintly in the distant sky.
After all, after staying in the cave for so long, I have no idea of ​​time.
While observing the movements around him vigilantly, Xi Yu lowered his voice and said to Cai Wenshuang: "Don't blame me, because the situation is forced, I can only do this. I have to take you out a long distance and make sure you are safe before I can put you back. In short, you'd better cooperate well and don't think about making any movement."
As he said that, he pulled Cai Wenshuang to speed up and walked towards the depths of the darkness. Just as the two were rushing to go in the darkness, Cai Wenshuang bit his lip, his eyes full of hesitation and curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask, "You... are you really the Prime Minister?"
Xi Yu kept walking, looked at her with a little helplessness and mocking expression, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, you father and daughter were so determined to believe it before, and they were embarrassed by me. Now they are here to ask me this question again. What is the purpose? What is the meaning?"
Cai Wen's face turned red and he whispered: "We were reckless before, but now you are doing this, I really want to confirm again. If... if... if you are really the prime minister, then we have made a big mistake."
Xi Yu shook his head slightly, but did not respond to her again. He just pulled her to continue moving forward, thinking in his heart how to get rid of this troublesome situation and how to successfully return to where he should go.
The wind roared in my ears, and Xi Yu held Cai Wenshuang's arm tightly, and took her far away.
Cai Wenshuang's steps were staggering, her hair was messy, and her eyes were full of fatigue and helplessness. She looked up at Xi Yu, her voice was trembling and hopeful.
"Can you let me go now?"
Xi Yu's face was cold and his eyes were filled with unquestionable determination.
"No, you must find the medicine." After that, he continued to pull Cai Wenshuang forward, and glanced around with vigilant eyes.
Cai Wen followed with his footsteps, taking advantage of Xi Yu's inattention and secretly looking into the distance. He saw that there was no father chasing him on the familiar land.
Her heart suddenly sank, as if she had fallen into an endless abyss of darkness. Has her father given up on himself? Or is he secretly preparing for some rescue plan?
