"Su Yuanwai, I must pay this money, otherwise I will resolutely leave." Xi Yu's voice was not loud, but it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Su Yuanwai sighed helplessly, he didn't expect Xi Yu to be so stubborn.

In order to maintain the family's reputation, he had to sell the house to Xi Yu at a low price.

"Well, since you insist on doing so, then this house will be sold to you at a low price." Su Yuanwai said helplessly.

Xi Yu nodded and didn't say anything more.

After he paid, he took over the title deed.

Seeing that the deal had been completed, Su Yuan decided to set up a banquet to entertain Xi Yu and ease the relationship between them.

"Mr. Xi, I will hold a banquet in the mansion tonight, and I hope you will enjoy it. At the same time, I also hope to let the dog Su Yu accompany you and get acquainted with you. Su Yuanwai said with a smile.

Xi Yu's heart moved, and he also wanted to see what Su Yu was capable of. He happily agreed: "Then I might as well be respectful." ”

When night fell, the courtyard of the Su family was brightly lit.

Accompanied by Su Yuanwai, Xi Yu came to the banquet hall.

He looked around and saw many businessmen, and he couldn't help but feel the breadth of Su Yuanwai's connections.

"Mr. Xi, please be seated. I'm going to call the dogs. Su Yuanwai said.

Xi Yu nodded and sat down at the banquet. He quietly waited for Su Yu's arrival, his heart full of anticipation.

After a while, Su Yu walked into the banquet hall. He was dressed in a white robe, with an elegant temperament, handsome and chic.

"This is the dog Su Yu." Su Yuanwai proudly introduced.

Xi Yu smiled and said: "I have heard the name of Su Gongzi for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserves its reputation." ”

Su Yu also bowed his hand and said, "The prime minister has won the award." ”

Su Yuanwai saw that the two were talking happily, and his heart was overjoyed.

He took the opportunity to say: "Prime Minister, the dog has a lot of research on opera, so it is better to let him accompany you to enjoy tonight's opera performance." ”

"That couldn't be better."

So, Su Yu sat next to Xi Yu and enjoyed the opera performance with him.

While appreciating, the two exchanged their understanding and perception of opera.

After the meal, Xi Yu asked to talk to Su Yu alone.

The two came to the courtyard, and the moonlight sprinkled on the ground, reflecting the figures of the two.

Su Yu bluntly told Xi Yu that he wanted to do things in front of Xi Yu very much, hoping to get his appreciation.

Xi Yu looked at Su Yu with a smile and asked, "Young Master Su, I don't know what you're good at?" ”

Su Yu replied confidently: "Mr. Xi, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I have been involved in both martial arts and martial arts. ”

Xi Yu nodded and said, "Then can Master Su show your martial arts?" ”

Su Yu happily agreed, he picked up a spear from the weapon rack and danced.

The tip of the spear shimmered in the moonlight, and Su Yu's movements were like flowing water, all in one go.

Xi Yu watched Su Yu's performance and secretly praised it in his heart.

He felt that Su Yu's martial arts were really good, so he nodded and expressed his satisfaction.

"Su Gongzi's martial arts are really extraordinary." Xi Yu said.

Su Yu smiled modestly and said, "The prime minister praised it falsely. ”

Next, they began to talk about the scriptures.

Half an hour later, Xi Yu looked at Su Yu with a smile, his eyes flashing with appreciation.

He said: "Master Su, after some conversation, I found that you are not only both civil and military, but also erudite and talented. Since Su Gongzi is willing to be under my command, then I agreed. ”

Su Yu was overjoyed, he didn't expect that he would be appreciated by Xi Yu.

He immediately nodded and agreed: "Thank you Prime Minister for your kindness, Su Yu is willing to serve the dogs and horses." ”

Xi Yu laughed and said, "From today on, you will be my right-hand man." I hope we can work together to create a great cause. ”

Su Yu arched his hand again and said: "Thank you for believing in Ren, Su Yu will do his best to live up to his expectations." ”

Xi Yu smiled and nodded.

But he didn't know what kind of position to give Su Yu.

Su Yu told Xi Yu that as long as he can follow Xi Yu, he can do anything.

"Prime Minister, I, Su Yu, have nothing else to ask for, I just want to be by your side and serve you!" Su Yu knelt in front of Xi Yu and said earnestly.

Xi Yu looked at Su Yu in front of him, thinking to himself in his heart.

He knew that Su Yu was a talented young man, but he also needed time to test his sincerity and ability.

"Get up first, and I'll consider your request. It's getting late now, you go back and rest first, and we'll discuss the details tomorrow. Xi Yu said.

Su Yu got up and bowed deeply to Xi Yu.

At this time, Su Yuanwai came.

When he saw his son, his eyes were full of pride and relief.

"Prime Minister, it is really an honor for my Su family to win your favor for the dog!" Su Yuanwai said.

Xi Yu smiled and nodded, and said, "Su Yu is indeed a manufacturable material, I will cultivate him well." ”

When Su Yuanwai heard this, he was even happier in his heart, and he said: "This house has now been sold to the Prime Minister, and our father and son are going to live in the inn today." ”

Xi Yu thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, let's let them stay for the time being." When Your Majesty moves in, it's not too late for you to move out. ”

Su Yuanwai and Su Yu listened and hurriedly thanked Xi Yu.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Xi Yu waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, this is what I should do." Rest early, there's a lot to do tomorrow. ”

Su Yuanwai and Su Yu saluted Xi Yu again, and then withdrew.

Xi Yu also went back.

The next morning, the sun shined on the ground through the thin clouds, Xi Yu got up early, and after washing, he went to the guest room to greet Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, Weichen greets you." Xi Yu bowed respectfully.

Liu Xie had just woken up, and he was still a little sleepy-eyed, but when he heard Xi Yu's voice, he immediately sat up, smiled and said, "Xi Yu, don't be polite." Is there anything wrong with coming to me so early? ”

Xi Yu straightened up, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has bought a manor for you, I want you to take a look, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" ”

When Liu Xie heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Oh? Xi Yu, you are so hearty! Okay, let's check it out right away! Liu Xie said excitedly.

Xi Yu smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment, the minister has prepared a sedan chair for you." ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Okay, then let me go in a sedan chair." ”

Xi Yu turned around and went out, telling the soldiers to prepare the sedan chair.

After a while, a gorgeous sedan chair was carried over, and Xi Yu personally lifted the sedan curtain for Liu Xie and invited him to get on the sedan chair.

Liu Xie sat in the sedan chair, and Xi Yu rode a horse, leading the soldiers to escort on both sides of the sedan chair, and the group set off in a majestic manner.

Along the way, Xi Yu felt as if someone was following them, but he didn't mind.

Because he knows that he has the protection of the secret guard, nothing will happen.

When Xi Yu saw a shop, he remembered that he hadn't eaten breakfast, and Liu Xie had just gotten up, so he hurriedly got off the horse and asked Liu Xie to have breakfast with him.

"Your Majesty, let's have breakfast first, this shop looks pretty good." Xi Yu said.

Liu Xie said: "I wasn't hungry just now, I was just too excited, and when I heard you say this, I realized that I was a little hungry." ”

So, they walked into the inn together.

This inn is very bustling with people.

Xi Yu and Liu Xie found a window seat and sat down and ordered some food.

"Your Majesty, you can taste this porridge, it tastes very good." Xi Yu said as he gave Liu Xie a bowl of porridge.

Liu Xie tasted it, nodded, and said, "Well, it tastes really good." ”

Xi Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty likes it." ”

At this moment, Xi Yu seemed to see a sneaky shadow and immediately appeared near the inn.

"Your Majesty, you eat first, and Weichen will go outside to take a look." Xi Yu said.

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Okay, you can go." ”

Xi Yu got up and walked out of the inn, looking around for the shadow.

He immediately called the Dark Guard out.

They spotted the shadow in a small alley, and he followed.

Walking to the mouth of the alley, Xi Yu stopped and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

He saw the shadow take a few turns in the alley and disappear behind a door.

Xi Yu approached the door and heard a whisper from inside.

"This time it must be successful."

"Don't worry, we're well prepared this time, and we'll definitely be able to catch them all."

The two of them were shocked, and they sounded like a group of assassins.

Back at the inn, Xi Yu sat beside Liu Xie, his face a little solemn.

"What's wrong? What happened? Liu Xie noticed the strangeness of Xi Yu and asked.

Xi Yu whispered: "Your Majesty, we may have been followed, I just saw a group of assassins plotting in the alley. ”

Liu Xie's face changed and said, "Then what should we do?" ”

Xi Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Wechen has already arranged for people to protect us in secret, as long as we don't leave the inn, there will be no danger." ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Okay, then listen to you." ”

After the meal, Xi Yu whispered to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, let's not go back to the manor first, I want to lure those assassins out." ”

"But wouldn't that be too dangerous?" Liu Xie was a little worried.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Wechen is fully prepared." Xi Yu said.

Xi Yu took Liu Xie out of the inn and went to a remote place. Along the way, Xi Yu carefully observed the surrounding situation, and at the same time asked the sedan chair driver not to ask any questions, just bury his head and hurry.

As they walked, they came to a narrow alley. The alley is lined with high walls, and the sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, creating a dappled light and shadow.

Suddenly, a group of black-clad assassins rushed out of the shadows on both sides of the alley, armed with sharp blades, and pounced on Xi Yu and Liu Xie.

"There are assassins! Protect Your Majesty! Xi Yu shouted loudly.

The soldiers brought by Xi Yu immediately drew their weapons and engaged in a fierce struggle with the Assassins.

The Dark Guard drew his sword and fought the Assassin.

Liu Xie hid behind the sedan chair and looked at everything in front of him in horror. He was overwhelmed with fright.

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid, we will protect you!" Xi Yu stayed by his side.

Soon, several Assassins were cleaned up.

They tried to kill themselves by chewing their tongues, but the Dark Guard was quick and immediately grabbed one of them, making it impossible for him to die.

When the rest of the Assassins saw that their companions had been captured, they all committed suicide, leaving only this one Assassin alive.

Xi Yu walked up to the assassin, looked at him coldly, and said, "Tell me, who ordered you to come?" ”

The assassin snorted and said, "I won't say anything, if you have the ability, you will kill me!" ”

Xi Yu frowned and said, "Do you think I can't do anything if you don't say it?" What I have is the means to get you to speak. ”

Xi Yu turned his head to the dark guard and said, "Take him down and interrogate him properly." ”

The Dark Guard answered, dragging the Assassin away.

Xi Yu looked at the corpse on the ground, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.

This time, thanks to his preparation, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Xi Yu walked up to Liu Xie and asked with concern.

Liu Xie's face was pale, and he obviously hadn't recovered from the shock just now.

He shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little scared." ”

Xi Yu comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, these assassins have been completely wiped out by us, and you are safe now." ”

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Thanks to you this time, otherwise I'm afraid I would have died." ”

Xi Yu said: "It is the duty of Wei Chen to protect His Majesty, you don't have to be polite." ”

Liu Xie looked at Xi Yu, and a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, there happens to be an inn in front of you, let's go and rest first." Xi Yu said.

Xi Yu thinks that after all, Liu Xie was frightened, so don't go to the manor for the time being, and rest for a while.

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Okay, let's go over." ”

Xi Yu took Liu Xie and the guards out of the alley and came to a nearby inn.

In the inn, Xi Yu arranged for people to protect Liu Xie, and at the same time sent people to track down the identity of the assassin and the mastermind behind it.

"Your Majesty, you take a rest first, and Weichen will deal with some things." Xi Yu said.

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Okay, you can go." ”

Xi Yu walked out of the room and came to the lobby of the inn.

In the lobby, the dark guard is waiting for Xi Yu.

"My lord, the assassin has been interrogated, but he won't say anything." A dark guard said.

Xi Yu's face sank and said, "His mouth is so hard? ”

The Dark Guard said, "All kinds of means were used, but he just wouldn't speak. ”

Xi Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I'm going to interrogate him personally." ”

Xi Yu arrived at the place where the Assassin was being held, which was a deserted house.

Xi Yu met the Assassin.

The Assassin was tied to a pillar, scarred, but his eyes remained steadfast.

Xi Yu walked up to the assassin, looked at him coldly, and said, "You still won't say it?" ”

The assassin snorted and said, "I won't say it, if you have the ability, kill me!" ”

Xi Yu sneered and said, "Do you think I won't dare to kill you?" ”

As he spoke, he drew the Dark Guard's sword and pressed it against the assassin's neck.

The Assassin closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.

Xi Yu looked at the assassin and hesitated in his heart. He knew that if he killed the assassin, he would never know who was behind it.

But what if you don't kill him?

At this moment, the assassin suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Xi Yu, and said, "You don't dare to kill me, because you still want to get information from me." ”

Xi Yu was shocked, but he didn't expect this assassin to see through his thoughts.

The Assassin continued: "You don't have to waste any more time, I won't say it. You'd better kill me, so you can get rid sooner. ”

Xi Yu was ruthless in his heart and said: "Okay, since you want to die so much, then I will fulfill you!" ”

Xiao Yu said, and he was about to stab down with a sword.

Just then, a voice suddenly came: "Wait! ”

Xi Yu stopped the sword in his hand, looked back, and saw Liu Xie walking in.

"Your Majesty, why are you here? It's dangerous here, so go back and rest. Xi Yu said.

There were a few soldiers around Liu Xie, and those soldiers were very embarrassed.

Of course, Xi Yu understands that if Liu Xie has to come out, the soldiers naturally can't stop him.

Liu Xie said: "I have a way to get him to speak. ”

Xi Yu said: "What way? ”

Liu Xie took out a bottle of medicine from his body, handed it to Xi Yu, and said: "This is the poison I brought from the palace, as long as he takes it, he will not be able to stand the pain and tell the truth." ”

Xi Yu was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't imagine that Liu Xie still had such a drug.

"You can use it with confidence, the doctors have already verified that this medicine is effective."

Xi Yu nodded and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, just do what you want." ”

Xiao Yu said, opening the pill, pouring out a pill and stuffing it into the assassin.

The Assassin struggled, but the Dark Guard grabbed him by the neck.

The Assassin eventually swallowed the medicine.

After a few moments, the Assassin began to struggle in pain, screaming out of his mouth.

Xi Yu looked at the assassin and sneered in his heart.

Liu Xie said: "Don't you still want to say? If you do, I'll give you the antidote. ”

The Assassin endured the pain and said, "I...... I say...... Be...... Liu Long sent me...... He thought...... I want to kill Your Majesty......"

Xi Yu was shocked and asked Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, who is Liu Long?" ”

Liu Xie was also very surprised by this answer.

"Liu Long is Liu Song's younger brother."

I especially felt very depressed, I thought that Liu Song's matter was over, but I didn't expect his younger brother to still not let him go.

And in this case, it is impossible for the assassin to tell a lie, because the drug also has a hypnotic component.

Liu Xie said: "Okay, you tell the truth, I will give you the antidote." ”

"Below, absolutely not, you can't raise tigers for trouble." Xi Yu immediately objected.

He didn't expect Liu Xie to be so benevolent, no wonder something big couldn't happen.

Xi Yu then looked at the dark guard.

The Dark Guard killed the assassin right away.

Liu Xie sighed.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we will definitely find out about Liu Long's whereabouts."

Liu Xie said: "Yes." This matter will be for you. ”

He didn't want to say too many kind words, otherwise it would seem too foreign.

Liu Xie said: "Okay, I've finished resting, let's go to the manor quickly." ”

Xi Yu nodded, and finally walked out with Liu Xie.

And the Dark Guard disappeared immediately. (End of chapter)
