Xi Yu temporarily lived in Cao's Mansion, he was full of emotion in his heart, and at the same time he was determined to treat everyone in the mansion well.

Because they are all innocent.

On this day, Xi Yu was reading classics in the study, and the housekeeper quietly walked in.

The butler's face was solemn, and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"My lord, there is one thing I must report to you." The housekeeper said softly, looking at Xi Yu respectfully, just like treating Cao Pi.

Xi Yu put down the book in his hand and looked at the housekeeper, "What is so important?" ”

"It's about Cao Pi." The butler lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, do you know that Cao Pi once imprisoned a woman. The woman is still locked up in a secret room in the house, tortured. I hope you'll let her go, sir. ”

Xi Yu frowned slightly.

"What kind of woman is she, why did Cao Pi detain this woman?"

The butler sighed.

This is all due to Cao Pi's cruelty and ruthlessness. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, my lord, you are a good person, and you should not let this kind of thing continue to happen. ”

Xi Yu was silent for a moment, thinking about the butler's words.

"This king will investigate this matter, and if the situation is true, this king will consider letting the woman go." Xi Yu said.

A gimmickle of gratitude flashed in the butler's eyes.

"Thank you, O King, for your mercy and justice will be rewarded. Cao Pi is narrow-minded and often jealous of your talent and prestige, and not only that, but he also speaks ill of you behind your back and wants to discredit your reputation. ”

Xi Yu's face gradually became serious.

"This king knew that Cao Pi was a little dissatisfied with this king, but he didn't expect him to be so despicable. Go down first, and take the king to his cell in a moment. ”

After the housekeeper stepped back, Xi Yu's mood became heavy.

He walked to the window and looked out at the garden, thinking a lot of things.

He decided to investigate the woman's affair himself and find out the truth.

But he also sneered in his heart.

In the barracks where Cao Pi was held, the atmosphere was depressing and dreary.

Except for the lack of personal freedom, everything is still good.

On this day, Cao Pi was in a particularly depressed mood, and he drank wine alone in the barracks, glass after glass, until he was drunk and unconscious, and finally lay on the ground.

At this time, several soldiers passed by the barracks and saw Cao Pi who was drunk and fell to the ground.

They looked at each other and smiled, a hint of malice flashing in their eyes.

"Look at that guy, he's as drunk as a puddle of mud." One of the soldiers scoffed.

"How about we tease him?" Another soldier suggested.

The others agreed, and they gathered around Cao Pi and began to pee on him, insulting the man who had lost his freedom to his heart's content.

Cao Pi felt the burning and humiliation of urine in his coma, his body trembled slightly, but he was unable to make any resistance due to his drunkenness.

One of the soldiers smirked and said, "You useless fellow, you think you're some great character!" ”

However, their actions did not last long.

A general passed by and saw the scene. He angrily stopped the soldiers.

"What are you doing?!" The general angrily reprimanded, "Do you still have any military dignity in treating a detained person like this?" ”

The soldiers were so frightened that they immediately stopped their behavior, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to meet the eyes of the generals.

The general walked up to Cao Pi's side, looked at his embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.

"Lift him up and give him a clean place to rest." The general ordered, "You guys, go and be punished!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly picked up Cao Pi and took him to another room.

The general looked at their departing backs, shook his head, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Cao Pi spent this painful moment in a coma, while the soldiers paid the price for their actions.

After a while, under the guidance of the Cao family's housekeeper, Xi Yu walked through the dark corridor and came to a hidden cell.

The cell was damp, and the faint light shone through the iron windows.

Inside was a girl in prison uniform.

As soon as the girl saw Xi Yu, she immediately knelt on the ground, tears flowed out like a spring, and her voice was crying: "King, please save me!" My father had a magical book of war in his hand, and Cao Pi wanted to get it, but my father refused to hand it over, so he arrested me. ”

Xi Yu's gaze fell on the girl, he frowned, and said in a firm tone: "You get up, I will let you go." ”

With that, he motioned for the person next to him to open the cell door.

The door slowly opened and creaked, and the girl trembled and stood up, looking at Xi Yu gratefully.

Xi Yu said softly: "You go quickly, leave here, and never come back." ”

The girl nodded, thanked her again, and hurried away, her figure disappearing into the dark passage.

Silence returned to the cell, and Xi Yu stared in the direction of the girl's departure, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

At this time, the housekeeper of the Cao family stepped forward and whispered, "King, you are really kind-hearted. ”

Xi Yu turned and left the cell, leaving the butler in deep thought.

Early this morning, the sun was shining on the earth, and Liu Xie felt that his body had recovered a lot.

He packed his bags and prepared to continue on his way.

The old man carried a basket of vegetables, walked up to Liu Xie, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, these are some fresh vegetables, you can take them with you on the road to eat." ”

Liu Xie smiled and shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness, the coils on my body are still enough, you can keep these dishes for yourself."

The old man insisted on sending it.

"This is a little bit of grass people's heart, you can accept it."

Liu Xie excused himself and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't need it." ”

The two shirked for a while, and finally the old man took the food back.

Liu Xie stepped on the horse and walked towards the entrance of the village. The old man sent him all the way, and the villagers saw this scene and guessed Liu Xie's identity.

"Who is this man? The old bull head was so good to him. ”

"Looking at him, he doesn't look like an ordinary person."

"Maybe he's a big guy."

Liu Xie listened to the discussion of the villagers and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

He quickened his pace, hoping to leave the place as soon as possible.

Gradually, Liu Xie's figure disappeared into the distance.

The old man stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the direction he was going, and his heart was full of emotion.

He said to himself, "I hope Your Majesty has a safe journey." ”

The old man turned around and returned home, sat on a chair, recalled his time with Liu Xie, and couldn't help but smile with relief.

Xi Yu came to the Cao family's study again, his eyes stayed in the distance, and his heart was full of thoughts.

He felt that tomorrow he would leave Luoyang and return to Youzhou. It was also the place where his soul belonged.

He missed his ladies, his son.

Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, there was a slight knock on the door.

Xi Yu raised his head and said in a calm voice, "Come in." ”

The door was gently pushed open, and a woman walked in.

Xi Yu recognized her at a glance, it was the female prisoner he rescued from the cell.

At this moment, she had taken a shower and changed into a clean new dress, her face was radiant and exuded a unique beauty.

The woman walked into the room, smiled and said to Xi Yu, "King, the little girl is here to thank you for saving your life." ”

Xi Yu stood up and said with a smile: "You're welcome, this is what I should do, didn't I say to let you leave?" ”

"If the little woman doesn't repay the king, it will be difficult to feel at ease."

The woman looked at Xi Yu gratefully, tears rolling in her eyes.

She bit her lip, and then said, "My lord, the little woman has nothing to repay you but to give herself. ”

As she spoke, she was about to untie her clothes.

Xi Yu immediately stopped her behavior and said, "No, girl, please respect yourself." This king is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he will never take advantage of people's danger. ”

The woman stopped, a flash of surprise and admiration in her eyes.

She looked at Xi Yu, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

However, at this moment, the woman suddenly and quickly took out a dagger from her clothes and stabbed it at Xi Yu.

Xi Yu's eyes were quick, and he turned to one side, dodging the woman's attack.

He grabbed the woman's wrist and snatched the dagger with all his might.

The woman struggled, a flash of despair in her eyes.

Xi Yu gripped the woman's wrist tightly, and his gaze became stern.

"Who are you? Why did you assassinate the king? Xi Yu asked.

Just as Xi Yu was thinking about how to deal with the female assassin, he suddenly heard a strange movement in the courtyard.

He looked up alertly, his gaze sweeping over the grass outside the window.

I saw a figure faintly in the grass, holding a bow and arrow, aiming in the direction of Xi Yu. The arrows shimmered in the sunlight, as if they were about to shoot at any moment.

Just as the arrow was about to shoot out, the Dark Guard appeared like a ghost.

He picked up a bench in his hand and quickly stood in front of Xi Yu.

Just listen to the "whoosh" and the arrow is shot at the bench.

The Dark Guard didn't stop, he quickly rushed into the grass, trying to catch the archer hiding in it.

There was a commotion in the grass, and the figure, aware of its discovery, immediately turned and fled.

However, before he could run a few steps, he was surrounded by the guards.

The Dark Guard was nimble, stumbling the figure to the ground and restraining him.

The dark guard brought the figure to Xi Yu, who looked at it and couldn't help but sneer.

It turned out that the archery shooter turned out to be the butler.

Xi Yu looked at the housekeeper, a trace of contempt and anger flashed in his eyes.

"Butler, why did you assassinate this king?" Xi Yu asked.

The butler bowed his head and said nothing.

"Do you think your plan is seamless? Actually, I already knew that you were in league with this woman. Xi Yu said.

Xi Yu looked at the housekeeper and the girl and sneered.

"Butler, you are so bold that you dare to conspire with this girl to assassinate this king." Xi Yu said.

"How did you know that we were together, my lord?" The butler asked in surprise.

"First of all, if you want to release a female prisoner, why do you have to ask this king? Secondly, when you arrived in the cell, you did not introduce the identity of the king, this woman directly called the king, obviously because she had been trained for a long time. Again, this king has a secret guard, and you dare to provoke me, it's too bold. Xi Yu said.

The housekeeper and the girl looked at each other when they heard this, they didn't expect their plan to be so full of loopholes.

"Spare your life, my lord! We don't dare anymore! The girl said quickly.

Xi Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "Your actions are really stupid. Do you think you can kill this king? You guys are so naïve. ”

"After all, I am loyal to Cao Pi, if you want to kill or chop, you can do whatever you want." The butler said.

Xi Yu looked at the woman.

"Say, what's the relationship between the two of you?"

"I'm one of his nieces from afar."

Xi Yu said: "You want to use my kindness and kindness to achieve your own goals. But you are wrong, and I will not let you succeed. ”

"My lord, what are you going to do with us?" The butler asked.

"Please, my lord, spare us! We still have families, and we don't want to die! The woman cried.

"Take them down and lock them up." Xi Yu ordered.

The dark guard nodded, and took the butler and the woman away.

Xi Yu sat in a chair.

Although he especially hated the housekeeper and this woman.

But they dare not admit that they are still very loyal to Cao Pi.

On the other side, Liu Xie continued to move forward on horseback, and the sunlight sprinkled on the road through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light.

The sound of horses' hooves echoed in the silent air, shattering the silence.

Walking and walking, Liu Xie came to a bridge. He suddenly heard a cry, and his heart tightened.

He followed the sound and saw a woman sitting on the edge of the bridge, tears streaming down her face.

Liu Xie got off the horse, walked to the woman's side, and asked softly, "This sister-in-law, why are you crying here?" ”

The woman looked up, her eyes filled with sadness and helplessness.

She looked at Liu Xie, cried and said, "There are people on the road ahead who want to buy road money. My son and I were passing by, and without paying, they injured my son. Now my son is still lying in the front medical hall. This world is simply not peaceful, how can we ordinary people live! ”

Hearing this, Liu Xie's heart was very painful. He did not expect that the people would live so badly that they could not be guaranteed even the most basic safety.

Liu Xie frowned and said angrily: "These people are so hateful, they dare to commit murder in broad daylight. ”

The woman was just crying, even if she told Liu Xie, what could she do?

Liu Xie really has no choice. He is now alone.

And after listening to the woman's words, Liu Xie didn't dare to move forward.

He decided to leave.

He also knew such a special bag, but he really didn't have the courage.

He immediately turned the horse and left.

The woman smiled at him.

Liu Xie ran wildly all the way, his heart pounding, as if he was about to jump out of his throat.

He didn't look back, just waved the whip desperately to make the horse run faster.

The sound of horses' hooves echoed across the silent road, shattering the silence.

Liu Xie's breath was short, and he felt like his lungs were going to explode.

But Liu Xie suddenly thought of a question, the woman said that his son was lying in the hospital, so what about her? Why don't you accompany me?

Are you deceiving yourself?

However, there is no reason for people to deceive themselves.

Forget it, let's go back to the old man's house first.

Finally, Liu Xie returned to the old man's home. He jumped off his horse, panting, and held on to the door frame with his hands to keep himself from falling.

However, there was no one at home.

So, Liu Xie had no choice but to ask his neighbors.

At the neighbor's house, with the arrival of Liu Xie, the dog barked.

An old woman came out of the house, still on crutches.

"Old aunt, I don't know where the uncle next door has gone? Did you know? ”

The old woman looked at him.

"Who are you?"

Liu Xie told me about the accommodation here yesterday.

"I don't know where he went, but I can ask my son to look for it."

The old woman then looked inside and called her son out.

A young man with clear eyebrows walked out, dressed in coarse cloth clothes.

The old woman asked him to look for the neighbor uncle.

The young man smiled at Liu Xie.

"I'll look for it, you better go to the door of the uncle's house, otherwise my dog will bite hard."

Liu Xie bowed to him.

"In this way, there will be work."

Liu Xie immediately returned to the door of the old man's room and waited.

The young man struggled for a long time, and finally saw the old man smoking a dry cigarette under a tree.

At the same time, there are several old men enjoying the shade.

So the young man told the old man, and someone was looking for him.

"Erzhuzi, who is looking for me?"

"Said I stayed here last night."

The old man was surprised, wouldn't that be His Majesty the Emperor.

He felt very strange about how he came back suddenly.

"Alright, I'll go back and have a look right away."

Liu Xie remembered the woman's words, if this was true, it really made him feel very worried.

It's too messy everywhere.

I hope that Xi Yu can make every place better.

But he was distressed, because it was not his own credit after all.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and his sideburns and hair kept rising.

The old man asked the young man to go back first, and he walked very slowly. Just let the other party go back and report the message first.

The young man hurried back, and then met Liu Xie.

"Don't worry, the old man will be here in a while, if there is nothing to do, I will go home first."

Liu Xie then thanked him again.

"That's so polite." The young man immediately went home.

Liu Xie felt very embarrassed.

I'm really in the dust.

I don't know if the old man will laugh at himself.

Also, about Liu Song's body, I don't know if it has been disposed of.

The old man walked in such a hurry that he almost fell.

Therefore, Liu Xie waited for a long time, why hasn't the other party arrived yet?

By this time, the wind was getting stronger. Liu Xie felt the special cold around him.

He suddenly remembered his days in the palace. At that time, I didn't have to worry about food and clothing, but now?

Living a life of exile.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shed tears.

After a while, he finally rejoiced.

Because he saw that the old man had arrived.

The old man immediately came to him and prepared to salute.

Liu Xie said: "Don't, I don't want to reveal my identity. If someone else sees it, it's not good. ”

The old man didn't say anything, and hurriedly opened the door.

"By the way, what about Liu Song's corpse?" Liu Xie hurriedly asked.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's all taken care of."

As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the main room. (End of chapter)
