Chapter 872: Late Night Sneak Attack
At night, in the inn.
Xi Yu felt exhausted all over and took a break early after washing up. The moonlight shone through the window on the edge of the bed, and accompanied by the gentle sound of the wind, he gradually fell asleep.
However, when the night was late, a noisy noise suddenly came from outside the inn.
Xi Yu instantly woke up from his sleep. He sat up alertly and listened carefully.
"Bang bang bang!" A rough sound of smashing the door came, followed by the bully's vicious scolding: "Old thing, get out of here! Today is your death date!"
Xi Yu felt nervous and secretly screamed.
He quickly got up and ran downstairs quickly.
At the same time, other awakened guests also came out of the room and gathered in the lobby.
At the entrance of the inn, several vicious men were waving sticks and smashing the door frantically.
The shopkeeper hid behind the counter with a pale face and shivered all over.
The door was smashed open with a "slam" and the bully broke in with a group of subordinates.
His face was covered in ferociousness, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. After glanced around, he walked straight towards the shopkeeper.
"You old guy, how dare you find someone to deal with me? I'll send you on the way today!" The bully roared viciously, raised his hand and grabbed the shopkeeper.
"Stop!" An angry shout came from the entrance of the stairs.
Everyone looked in the sound and saw Xi Yu standing there with a cold expression, with endless anger in his eyes.
When the bully saw Xi Yu, he was stunned at first, and then he sneered disdainfully.
"Hmph, you are nosy guy again."
When other guests saw this, they started to talk about it. Some showed horror on their faces, while others were filled with righteous indignation, but they did not dare to step forward easily.
"You bully, you have caused trouble again and again. Is there any other king's law?" Xi Yu took a step forward and looked straight into the bully's eyes without fear.
"King Fa? In this acre of three-point land, I am the King Fa!" The bully laughed arrogantly, "If anyone dares to meddle in other people's business today, he will be buried with this old guy!"
As he said that, he waved his hand and his men immediately surrounded Xi Yu and the shopkeeper.
The other guests were scared, and the bully said, "It has nothing to do with you, hurry up and go back to your room."
The guests were so scared that they hurried into the room, fearing that the city gate would have a fire.
In the blink of an eye, only Xi Yu, the shopkeeper and the bully were left in the hall.
Seeing everyone retreating, the bully became more and more arrogant. He pointed at Xi Yu's nose and cursed: "Boy, today is your death!"
After saying that, with a wave of his hand, his thugs waved their sticks and rushed towards Xi Yu in a fierce manner.
At this critical moment, several black shadows jumped out from the darkness like lightning, instantly stopping the thugs who were pounced on Xi Yu.
Of course, Xi Yu's secret guards took action in time.
These secret guards are all very skilled, smart in shape and ruthless in moves.
I saw them wandering freely in the crowd, and beat the thugs in three punches and two kicks.
A big man held up a stick and smashed it hard on the head of a secret guard.
The secret guard was calm and flashed, easily avoiding the sharp attack. At the same time, he grabbed the big man's wrist and twisted it hard. With a "click", the big man's wrist was dislocated. He screamed, and the stick in his hand also fell to the ground.
The secret guard then kicked the big man in the stomach, and the big man flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, knocking down several companions behind him.
Another secret guard quickly approached the bully like a ghost.
The bully was shocked and wanted to escape, but the secret guard grabbed the collar.
The dark guard's eyes were as cold as frost, and he said viciously: "You evil man, today is your retribution!"
After saying that, he raised his hand and punched the bully hard in the face.
The bully's nose was bleeding instantly, and he screamed and fell to the ground.
The shopkeeper hid behind the counter, and when he saw this scene, he was surprised and happy.
What was shocked was that the bully's evil deeds were finally punished, and what was happy was that he was once again safe with the help of Xi Yu.
His hands clutched the edge of the counter tightly, his knuckles turned white with force, and his eyes stared at the situation on the field without blinking.
At this time, the hall was in chaos, with tables and chairs knocked over to the ground, and broken porcelain scattered all over the ground.
Under the attack of the secret guards, the bully's subordinates were no longer able to fight back and lay on the ground and moaned in pain.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the bully struggled to get up from the ground and wanted to sneak away.
However, Xi Yu saw his every move.
Xi Yu snorted coldly and said, "I want to run away? It's not that easy!"
The secret guards were as lightning as lightning, and in the blink of an eye the bully who was trying to escape were surrounded.
One of the secret guards stretched out his hand like a hook, grabbed the bully's back collar, and swung it hard, and the bully fell heavily to the ground like a broken sack, raising a piece of dust.
Xi Yu walked forward with anger on his face, looked at the bully with disgust in his eyes.
"If a beast like you is not severely punished, he will definitely cause trouble to the countryside in the future." After saying that, he nodded slightly to the secret guard.
The secret guards who received the instructions were ruthless and ruthless. But for a moment, the bully let out a shrill scream, rolling in pain on the ground. His limbs were removed by the secret guards with clever and sharp methods, completely losing their ability to resist and becoming disabled.
After dealing with the bully, the secret guards quickly grabbed the thugs who were still moaning one by one and threw them into the woodshed in the inn.
Xi Yu looked at the mess and turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, don't worry, I have already cleaned up these evil people. They will stay in the woodshed tonight, and I will let the secret guards guard strictly. I will send them to the government early tomorrow morning to let them pay the price they deserve for their evil deeds."
The shopkeeper walked out from behind the counter with his legs weak, and almost knelt down again. His eyes were filled with tears of gratitude, and he said in a trembling voice: "Customer, you...you are really our benefactor. If it weren't for you, my life would have been gone today, and this inn would have been ruined by them."
Xi Yu waved his hand and comforted him: "Shopkeeper, don't say that. Seeing the injustice on the road, I should draw my sword to help. This is what I should do. Don't worry too much tonight, have a good rest."
Afterwards, Xi Yu arranged for the secret guards to take turns guarding the woodshed to prevent these evil people from escaping or causing any further changes.
And he himself returned to the room.
The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds on the ground, bringing a hint of warmth to the entire town.
However, for the bully and his men, this will be a continuation of their nightmare.
The secret guards escorted the bully and his dejected subordinates and walked all the way to the government.
When the people on both sides of the street saw this scene, they surrounded them, with anger and a hint of fear in their eyes.
After all, these bullies are domineering in the town on weekdays, which has caused everyone to suffer.
Now that they have seen them being escorted to the government, the people secretly say goodbye.
When they arrived at the government office, the secret guards informed the officials in detail about the whole story.
After hearing this, the officials attached great importance to it and immediately went to court for trial.
The bully and his men could not deny it in the face of imperative evidence, so they could only plead guilty.
After dealing with all this, the secret guards returned to the inn and reported to Xi Yu.
"Prime Minister, the bully and his men have been detained by the government, and they will be punished as they deserve." The head guard said respectfully.
Xi Yu nodded slightly, with a hint of relief on his face.
"Very good, thank you for your hard work, please step back."
The secret guards took the order and retreated, while Xi Yu began to pack his bags.
After packing up, Xi Yu came downstairs and found the shopkeeper.
When the shopkeeper saw Xi Yu, he immediately came up with reluctance in his eyes: "Customer, are you leaving?"
Xi Yu smiled and said, "Yes, the shopkeeper, I still have some things to deal with and can't stop any longer."
The shopkeeper's eyes flushed slightly, and he said, "Customer, I can't repay your great kindness. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."
Xi Yu waved his hand and said, "Shopkeeper, you don't have to be so polite. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you will go and ask about Xi Yu's news. As long as I can, I will definitely help."
After saying that, Xi Yu said goodbye to the shopkeeper and left the inn.
Shortly after Xi Yu left, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Call to stay!"
He turned around and saw that it was the shopkeeper who was chasing him.
Xi Yu tied the reins, wondering, but with a gentle smile on his face, he asked, "Shopkeeper, what happened?"
The shopkeeper stopped his horse panting and walked quickly to Xi Yu, his eyes full of complicated expressions. After hesitating for a moment, he mustered up the courage to ask: "Celebrity, the old man has a bold guess. I don't know whether to talk or not... Are you the Prime Minister?"
When Xi Yu heard this, he was shocked, but his face remained calm. He looked at the shopkeeper quietly and asked, "Shopkeeper, why did you say this?
"Celebrity, the old man is prone to something in his heart, and he will not be happy if he doesn't vomit. Those capable people around you come and go without a trace and are very skilled. The old man tells this to others, and they say it is the prime minister's unique guard. The old man guessed in his heart and dared to ask, are you the Prime Minister?"
Xi Yu was slightly stunned, then smiled and said frankly: "The shopkeeper's good eyesight, I am indeed the prime minister."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was shocked and knelt down on the ground with a "stop" and said in a word: "Sincere, sin, the old man is blind and has not recognized the Prime Minister earlier!" He said that and wanted to kowtow.
Xi Yu quickly dismounted, helped the shopkeeper up with both hands, and said, "The shopkeeper doesn't have to be too polite, please get up quickly."
The shopkeeper's face was flushed with excitement and his voice trembled.
"I never expected that the Prime Minister would be condescending to the point of being a little person like the little man. Such a great kindness would be hard to repay even if the little man was crushed to pieces!"
Xi Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Shopkeeper, don't say that. As the prime minister, it is my duty to solve the problems of the people. You are here, and you are doing your own business, but you are bullied by that bully. How can I sit still and ignore it?"
The shopkeeper had tears in his eyes and he kept nodding.
"Prime Minister, you don't know that the bully has been domineering in this place for a long time. We ordinary people are so miserable that we are bullied by him, but they dare not speak out. If it weren't for you, the old man would really not know how to live in the future."
Xi Yu patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder and comforted him: "Now the bully has been sent to the government, I believe he will receive the punishment he deserves soon. From now on, you just need to run the inn with peace of mind. If there is any difficulty, come to the capital to find me."
The shopkeeper was flattered and responded quickly: "Thank you, Prime Minister, thank you, Prime Minister! I have written it down."
Xi Yu turned over and told him at last: "Shopkeeper, go back, don't send him far away."
After saying that, he shook the reins and the horse neighed, and ran towards the distance.
The shopkeeper stood there, looking at the direction where Xi Yu left, and was reluctant to turn around for a long time.
It was not until Xi Yu's figure disappeared at the end of the road that he slowly came to his senses, rode his horse, and returned to the inn.
After returning to the inn, the shopkeeper told everyone about what he had encountered as the prime minister. The guests in the inn were amazed when they heard this. The incident soon spread in the town, and the people's admiration for the prime minister Xi Yu became deeper and deeper.
In a quiet corner of Kunlun Mountain, Luo Xiaoyu is in front of her residence.
The breeze blows by, and the flowers and plants around you sway gently, which is a peaceful scene.
Suddenly, a slightly rapid sound of footsteps broke the tranquility.
Luo Xiaoyu looked up and saw the Taoist priest who was rude to him that day standing not far away with guilt on his face.
The Taoist priest bowed slightly, with a sincere expression and a tone full of regret: "Young Master Luo, I'm really sorry. I was reckless a few days ago and wronged the young master. Today I came to apologize."
Luo Xiaoyu frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and she scolded without hesitation: "Master Taoist, as a practitioner of Taoism, you should be able to distinguish right from wrong. But you just made unreasonable guesses at that time, you said badly to me. Is this the right way to do it? In the future, you must understand the whole story of the matter before talking about it. Don't act so recklessly again."
The Taoist priest lowered his head and did not dare to look directly into Luo Xiaoyu's eyes. He kept saying: "Young Master Luo taught me a lesson, because I have not practiced enough and failed to control my impatientness. In the future, I will definitely be cautious in my words and actions, carefully check it, and never make such mistakes again."
Seeing that he was sincere, Luo Xiaoyu calmed down a little, and said slowly: "If the Taoist master knows his mistakes, he will correct it. This Kunlun Mountain is a place of pure cultivation. Everyone should respect each other and live in harmony."
The Taoist priest nodded quickly and said, "Young Master Luo said very well. This lesson is profound and I will definitely remember it in my heart. If there is anything needed in the future, please speak up."
Luo Xiaoyu nodded slightly and said, "I hope the Taoist priest will do what he said. If nothing else, you can go back first."
The Taoist priest saluted respectfully again, then turned around and left. After the Taoist priest's figure disappeared from the corner, Luo Xiaoyu sighed softly and looked at the mountains in the distance.
Shortly after the Taoist priest left, a sound of brisk but somewhat anxious footsteps came.
Luo Xiaoyu turned around and saw Xiaohong walking towards him with a worried look.
Xiaohong walked to Luo Xiaoyu, frowned, his eyes full of worry, and said, "Brother Xiaoyu, why has the Prime Minister not come back yet? I am so worried about the Prime Minister's danger."
Luo Xiaoyu looked at Xiaohong's anxious look, smiled slightly, and comforted softly: "Don't worry too much. Prime Minister Auspicious people have their own appearance. He has a profound blessing and is extremely wise, so there will be no trouble."
Xiaohong bit her lip and said, "With that being said, the Prime Minister has been traveling all the way this time, and I don't know how many unknown dangers I will encounter. I am really worried."
Luo Xiaoyu nodded slightly and looked into the distance, as if she could see the Prime Minister's itinerary at this moment, saying, "I understand your concerns. The Prime Minister is in love with the world and runs around. It is inevitable that he will encounter some twists and turns. But with many capable people around him, he will definitely be able to get rid of danger. It is useless to be anxious here. It is better to believe in the Prime Minister and wait patiently for his return."
Suddenly, Luo Xiaoyu seemed to have enough courage and grabbed Xiaohong's hand suddenly, looking at her with a burning look, with a hint of uneasiness and determination in her tone.
"Xiaohong, I have a selfish idea. It would be great if the Prime Minister hadn't found a drug that could restore your memory."
Xiaohong looked surprised, full of doubt, and asked hurriedly: "Why did you say that?"
Luo Xiaoyu lowered her head slightly, and her voice became soft and a little nervous.
"You don't have memories of the past now, so you won't have those worries. And... and I like you. If you keep doing this, we can be a couple. If you recover your memories, maybe you won't like me. I'm really afraid of losing you."
After hearing this, Xiaohong's face turned flushed instantly, and her heart began to jump wildly uncontrollably.
She subconsciously broke free from Luo Xiaoyu's hand and said coquettishly: "You...what were you saying!"
After saying that, she turned around in panic like a frightened deer, trotted into the room, and closed the door with a "bang".
Luo Xiaoyu stood there blankly, looking at the closed door, feeling regretful, wondering if his reckless confession just now scared Xiaohong.
He thought to himself whether he should chase after him and explain, but he was afraid that going to Xiaohong would only make him even more embarrassed at this moment.
In the room, Xiaohong leaned against the door, covered her hot cheeks with both hands, and Luo Xiaoyu's words kept echoing in her mind, and her heart could not calm down for a long time.
Luo Xiaoyu hesitated outside the door for a long time, raised her hand several times to knock on the door, but then shrank back the moment she touched the door panel.
He was full of entanglement, afraid that Xiaohong would be angry when he said just now, and worried that rashly disturbing her at this moment would make her even more upset.
Just as Luo Xiaoyu was hesitating, Xiaohong's faint sob came from the room.
Luo Xiaoyu's heart tightened and no longer cared about it. She hurriedly knocked on the door and said, "Xiaohong, what's wrong with you? Did I say too much just now? Don't be angry, it's my fault."
The sobs in the room paused, and then Xiaohong's crying voice came.
"You...you go away, I don't want to see you."
Luo Xiaoyu became more and more anxious, her tone was full of concern and self-blame.
