The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

The two of them were dressed very ordinary and were inconspicuous in the crowd. It was obvious that they didn't want to attract attention.

When they were about to line up, they looked up and saw Xi Yu, and a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Xi Yu quickly made a gesture to them to keep quiet.

Song Meijiao and Xi Shi understood what he meant, and immediately restrained their expressions and stood silently behind Xi Yu.

I also wonder why they are here.

Then, Xi Yu quietly moved to the two of them and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

Xi Shi replied in a low voice: "We heard that this bun shop is very famous, so we wanted to try it. But we have a special identity, so we have to disguise ourselves."

Xi Yu's face was solemn, and he whispered, "There is something wrong with this bun shop. It is possible that the bun fillings are made of human flesh. You must not eat them. Just wait and see what happens."

When Song Meijiao and Xi Shi heard this, their faces turned pale and expressions of horror appeared in their eyes.

Xi Yu hurriedly reminded.

"You must pretend that you know nothing and don't let anyone see the flaws."

The two nodded hurriedly, trying to calm themselves down.

After a while, the line began to move forward slowly. People around were excitedly discussing the taste of the buns, their faces full of anticipation.

But Song Meijiao and Xi Shi felt as if they were on edge, and their faces became uglier and uglier. When they thought that Xi Yu might be talking about human meat stuffing, their stomachs churned.

"Sister, this... this is so terrible, how could this happen?" Xi Shi frowned.

Song Meijiao also had a solemn expression on her face, and she tried to suppress her discomfort and said, "Don't panic, we will do as our husband says, and we must not reveal our true colors."

Although she said this, terrible images kept appearing in her mind. It felt like an invisible hand was tightly grasping her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

At this moment, a short and mean-looking man suddenly came over. He stood in front of Xi Yu and Song Meijiao, looking back and forth at the two women with eyes full of greed and lust.

He grinned, revealing a mouthful of uneven yellow teeth, and said, "Oh, I'm so lucky today. There are two such beautiful women here. This is the first time. It's a real feast for my eyes."

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands and leaned forward again, "Two beauties, are you willing to come with me? I tell you, my family has plenty of money, and I guarantee that you will live a good life."

His ugly face was disgusting and people around him looked at him strangely.

At this time, Xi Yu was so furious that his lungs were about to explode, and his eyes were burning with anger. He never thought that someone would be so presumptuous in broad daylight.

Many guests around were also attracted by the movement here and looked over here.

When they saw the beauty of Song Meijiao and Xi Shi, the men's eyes suddenly showed hot and greedy looks, as if hungry wolves saw fat lambs, while most of the women showed jealousy on their faces, with eyes full of disdain and resentment.

Xi Yu approached Dongfang Hong calmly, lowered his voice and said quickly: "The situation is complicated now, you should deal with it first. I don't want to reveal my identity. If I take any covert action now, our identities will be exposed."

Dongfanghong nodded slightly, understanding what he meant, then took a step forward, standing in front of the two women, and shouted to the wretched man, "What do you want to do? These are my two sisters, don't mess around!"

His eyes were majestic, carrying an unquestionable aura.

The man sneered and curled his lips in disdain, "So what if you are her brother? Humph, I am determined to get these two women today, what can you do to me?"

Some people around couldn't stand it anymore and winked at Dongfanghong, meaning that he should take the two women away from this dangerous place as soon as possible.

Dongfanghong frowned, and a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes.

"I haven't hit anyone in a long time. If you insist on pestering me like this and don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for being rude!"

Before he finished speaking, he took a sudden step forward and threw a powerful punch at the man.

The punch was filled with anger and whistled towards the man.

The man sneered, his eyes full of sinisterness: "How dare you hit me, you idiot! You wait here, I won't buy you any buns today, don't run away if you have the guts."

After saying that, he turned around and ran into a nearby alley, shouting at the top of his voice as he ran, but his eyes were always fixed in the direction of the queue.

Not long after, several muscular men walked out of the alley.

The man pointed at Dongfanghong and shouted viciously to those people, "Go, catch that kid for me! If you dare to anger me, Liu Xuefu, the consequences will not be something that ordinary people can bear!"

Xi Yu looked worried and asked Dongfang Hong in a low voice.

"How about it? Can we do it? Those guys look difficult to deal with."

Dongfanghong raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and responded in a low voice: "We have to go no matter if we can or not. We can't just watch that bastard being so arrogant. Humph, if I suffer a loss today, you have to compensate me then."

After saying that, he flexed his wrist, his eyes showing determination, and he was ready to deal with those strong men.

Xi Yu patted Dongfanghong on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. I'll go with you to deal with these beasts. We must not let them succeed!"

After saying that, the two men stood side by side, fearlessness in their eyes, and strode towards Liu Xuefu and his brothers. A fierce conflict was about to break out.

As Xi Yu and Dong Fang Hong walked towards Liu Xuefu and the others, he turned around and shouted to Song Meijiao and Xi Shi: "Hurry up and get out of the way. Find a safe place to hide. Don't get hurt!"

After hearing this, Song Meijiao and Xi Shi hurriedly held hands tightly and ran out of the crowd in a panic, hiding in a relatively secluded corner on the street. They looked in the direction where Xi Yu and Dongfang Hong were about to clash with the group of people with worried eyes.

Several people rushed over fiercely, and they were indeed very fierce. In the blink of an eye, Dongfanghong was accidentally injured, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Xi Yu became extremely anxious. He seized the opportunity and quickly snatched a stick from a thug.

He gripped the stick tightly, shouted loudly, and then swung it violently like a madman.

At this moment, the martial arts moves that he had seen in TV dramas in his previous life appeared in his mind involuntarily, and then he used them.

In the past, I was always protected by the secret guards, but today it is my turn to fight independently again.

Oddly enough, Xiyu's fighting style was unexpectedly very effective when facing this group of reckless men who also had no fighting skills.

The stick in his hand was swung with great force, and each swing was full of ferocity, hitting those guys back again and again, and for a moment they were unable to resist.

At this extremely tense moment, Xi Yu made a prompt decision, and quickly shuttled through the crowd like lightning, and arrived in front of Liu Xuefu in the blink of an eye.

He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Liu Xuefu's neck tightly. With a fierce look in his eyes, he shouted at the younger brothers who were ready to make a move: "Whoever dares to come over, I will kill him immediately!"

Liu Xuefu's face turned red from being pinched, and he had difficulty breathing. He hurriedly shouted to his younger brothers, "Don't... don't come over here!"

Xi Yu snorted coldly and dragged Liu Xuefu to the side. Liu Xuefu asked in horror: "Where...where are we going?"

Xi Yu replied coldly: "You are not qualified to ask now."

Liu Xuefu had no choice but to follow Xiwei and leave.

When they came to a remote alley, Xi Yu looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention. Then he said loudly, "You can come out now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the secret guards who had been hiding in the dark appeared one after another and quickly surrounded Liu Xuefu.

When Liu Xuefu saw so many secret guards suddenly appear, he was so frightened that he trembled all over and his face turned pale.

Upon seeing this, Xi Yu handed him over to the secret guard without saying a word, then turned around and hurried back to the bun shop.

As soon as he got there, Xi Yu hurriedly approached Dongfanghong and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you okay?"

Dongfanghong moved his arm, frowned and said, "My arm is slightly injured, but it's nothing serious. It won't cause any trouble."

Song Shuwen said, "In that case, why don't we take you to get it bandaged to prevent you from getting sick."

Dongfanghong waved her hand.

"No, no, I can just find a pharmacy to bandage it myself. Anyway, I've already come to the place, so it won't matter whether I'm here or not."

Xi Yu looked guilty.

"We can't just let this go today. It's all my fault for not protecting you. I will definitely make it up to you."

Dongfanghong smiled and said nothing more. She left the bun shop temporarily and walked towards the medicine shop on the street.

At this time, one of Liu Xuefu's younger brothers boldly approached Xi Yu and asked with a big smile on his face: "Brother, where is our boss?"

Xi Yu glanced at him coldly, with a sneer on his lips, and ignored him without saying a word. The younger brother was bored and scratched his head awkwardly. Seeing this, the other younger brothers also felt bored and had to leave in disgrace for the time being.

Xi Yu turned around and walked in front of Xi Shi and Song Meijiao, and said a little embarrassedly: "I fought in person today. Wasn't I very clumsy just now?"

After hearing this, the two women couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle, but they didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Xi Yu smiled bitterly and scratched his head, saying, "You guys just laughed and didn't say anything, which proves that my movements were indeed clumsy enough."

Xi Shi said gently: "No matter what my husband did just now, it was for us. We are deeply touched."

Xi Yu heard this and showed a trace of relief on his face, but he still whispered to them: "Don't go out casually in the future. If you really want to go out, you must send someone to protect you well, understand?"

Xi Shi and Song Meijiao nodded obediently and responded in unison: "Well, we have made a note of it, husband, don't worry."

The two men knew that the situation today was indeed dangerous and they must not act so rashly in the future.

After a while, the line slowly moved forward and it was finally their turn.

Xi Yu went forward to buy some steamed buns, and then found a relatively quiet corner in the bun shop and sat down.

Xi Yu and the two girls naturally didn't dare to eat first.

Song Shuwen carefully broke the bun open, glancing towards the counter from time to time. After making sure that no one was paying attention to them, he began to examine it very carefully.

He said that if he couldn't see any clues with the naked eye, he would have to taste the buns himself to confirm whether there was any problem with them.

"Do you really want to eat it? This is too disgusting." Xi Shi frowned and looked at the bun in Song Shuwen's hand with disgust.

"That's right. I can't bear the thought of it." Song Meijiao echoed, with fear in her eyes.

Xi Yu quickly whispered, "Don't do that, your expression is too obvious and you'll be discovered."

The two women hurriedly adjusted their expressions. Song Meijiao whispered, "The people around us are eating so happily. If there is really something wrong with this bun, I can't even imagine it."

Xishi nodded.

"I hope this is just a misunderstanding."

After a while, Song Shuwen took a deep breath and said, "I'm starting."

He took a small bite of the bun and chewed it slowly. Xi Yu asked beside him, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Song Shuwen frowned.

“I haven’t tasted anything special yet.”

Song Shuwen took a few more sips, his brows furrowed more and more.

Xi Shi watched from the side and thought to herself, since she couldn't taste any special flavor, perhaps the buns were not made of human flesh.

However, after a while, Song Shuwen nodded solemnly and said in a low voice: "I am sure that these are indeed human meat stuffed buns."

When Xi Shi heard this, she felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to her forehead. Although she kept telling herself to stay calm, she couldn't help but almost screamed.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and covered her mouth with her hands in time, her eyes full of fear. Song Meijiao also turned pale and her body trembled slightly.

Xi Yu was furious, with flames burning in his eyes. He lowered his voice and said to the secret guards, "Hurry up and go to the kitchen, then go to the backyard to look for clues."

At this moment, many customers in the bun shop suddenly felt a gust of cold wind passing by them, like an ice knife scraping their skin in winter.

Some people couldn't help but shiver and started talking loudly: "This is too weird, where does the cold wind come from?"

Someone nearby said nonchalantly, "It's normal to be a little cold so early in the morning. There's nothing strange about that."

Everyone had their own opinions and the bun shop became noisy.

Song Shuwen frowned and asked Xi Yu in a low voice: "How about we let everyone stop eating buns first? What if..."

Xi Yu shook his head slightly and responded: "Let the secret guards investigate for a while before making a decision."

Xi Yu's face was gloomy, his eyes were full of anger, he said: "This innkeeper is simply crazy, too despicable and shameless, he is a hundred times more hateful than the enemies on the battlefield, he must not be let off easily."

Song Shuwen was also shocked by Xi Yu's momentum. He knew that this incident had completely touched Xi Yu's bottom line.

"Let's go to the kitchen now." Xi Yu said while gritting his teeth, and walked towards the kitchen. Every step he took was filled with murderous intent. The secret guard hurriedly followed, and Song Shushuwen followed closely behind.

When I arrived at the kitchen, the stench of blood and decay hit me in the face.

Xi Yu looked at the sack containing the corpses, his eyes becoming colder and colder. He secretly swore that he would tear the people behind this black shop into pieces and seek justice for these innocent people who died.

On the other side, Smith and Alexander came to the place where the old wizard used to live.

It's a dark and eerie place, with all kinds of weird stuff placed around.

"Hey, look at these magic tools, they must be very useful." Alexander said excitedly as he put some props and magic tools emitting mysterious light into his bag.

Shi Daming curled his lips.

"Hmph, you only know those. I think these currencies are the real good stuff." As he said that, he put away many currencies one by one.

After working for a while and getting what they needed, they smiled at each other and prepared to leave this mysterious residence.

Smith frowned, looked at Alexander and asked, "How can I find you next time? You should at least tell me where you live."

Alexander nodded and said readily, "Sure." Then he took Smith to a small and exquisite manor, "This is my home."

Shi Daming looked at the manor, thoughtfully.

Then he said to Alexander with a serious look: "I will try to find out the birth date of the Han Prime Minister Xi Yu, but you have to give me some time."

As he spoke, he took out a bag of deposit and handed it to Alexander.

Alexander took the deposit, patted Smith on the shoulder, his eyes full of anticipation.

Alexander smiled and patted his chest.

"Don't worry, I won't run away. You can come here to find me at any time. I really hope that our cooperation can start as soon as possible."

Shi Daming nodded and got on his horse.

"I will go back to the palace to report to His Majesty. We will keep in touch at any time." After saying that, he pulled the reins, and the horse raised its hooves and galloped away, leaving only a trail of dust. Shi Daming galloped all the way and soon arrived at the gate of the palace.

He pulled the reins, dismounted, and walked quickly toward the palace.

At this time, King Hesheli was strolling leisurely in the imperial garden with his beloved concubine. The sunlight shining on them created a warm picture.

The attendant hurriedly came to report that Shi Daming had arrived. Hesheli frowned slightly, comforted his beloved concubine with a few words, and immediately walked towards the main hall.

Shi Daming walked into the main hall and saw King Hesheli sitting on the throne, his expression majestic but with a hint of anxiety.

He hurried forward and knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty, I have found the wizard."

There was a flash of surprise in Hesheli's eyes, "Oh? Tell me in detail."

Shi Daming raised his head slightly and frowned slightly.

"The wizard I originally found was a very famous one, but who would have thought... he was murdered by someone and died a violent death. However, I did not give up and found his junior apprentice, who was also very powerful."

When Hesheli heard this, the gloom on his face disappeared, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he laughed: "Good! Mr. Shi really lived up to my expectations."

A trace of worry flashed across Shi Daming's eyes.

"Your Majesty, although this pressure is capable, he proposed that if he wants to perform the spell, he must get Xi Yu's birth date."

Hesheli stood up and paced back and forth, his eyes becoming deep, "Xiyu's birth date... this is a bit tricky. It's not easy to get it."

Shi Daming gritted his teeth.

"Your Majesty, there is no time to lose. We need to find a solution as soon as possible. Otherwise, there may be changes." (End of this chapter)
