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

At night, in the inn.

Xi Yu felt exhausted, so he simply washed up and went to bed early. The moonlight shone through the window onto the bed, and he gradually fell asleep with the sound of the gentle wind.

However, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, there was a sudden loud noise outside the inn.

Xi Yu was instantly awakened from his sleep. He sat up alertly and listened carefully.

“Bang, bang, bang!” There was a loud banging sound on the door, followed by the bully’s vicious curse: “Get out here, old man! Today is the day you die!”

Xi Yu's heart tightened and he secretly thought that something was wrong.

He quickly got dressed, stood up, and ran downstairs.

At the same time, other guests who were awakened came out of their rooms and gathered in the lobby.

At the entrance of the inn, several ferocious-looking men were waving sticks and smashing the door frantically.

The shopkeeper hid behind the counter with a pale face and trembling all over.

The door was smashed open with a loud bang, and the bully rushed in aggressively with a group of his men.

His face was ferocious and his eyes flashed with fierceness. After glancing around, he walked straight towards the shopkeeper.

"You old thing, you dare to find someone to deal with me? I will send you to death today!" The bully roared viciously and raised his hand to grab the shopkeeper.

"Stop!" an angry shout came from the stairs.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xi Yu standing there with a stern expression and endless anger in his eyes.

When the bully saw Xi Yu, he was stunned at first, then he sneered with disdain.

"Humph, it's you again, a nosy guy."

When the other guests saw this scene, they started talking about it. Some were horrified, while others were indignant, but none of them dared to step forward easily.

"You bully, you make trouble again and again. Do you think there is any law?" Xi Yu took a step forward and looked into the bully's eyes without fear.

"The king's law? In this little piece of land, I am the king's law!" The bully laughed arrogantly, "Whoever dares to meddle in other people's business today will be buried with this old man!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his men immediately came over and surrounded Xi Yu and the shopkeeper.

The other guests were scared, and the bully said, "It has nothing to do with you, go back to your room."

The guests were so frightened that they hurried into their rooms, fearing that the city gate would catch fire.

In the blink of an eye, Xi Yu, the shopkeeper and the bully were the only ones left in the hall.

Seeing everyone retreat, the bully became even more arrogant, pointing at Xi Yu's nose and cursing, "Boy, today is the day you die!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and his thugs brandished sticks and rushed towards Xi Yu aggressively.

At this critical moment, several dark shadows jumped out from the darkness like lightning and instantly stopped the thugs who were rushing towards Xi Yu.

Naturally, it was Xi Yu's secret guards who took action in time.

Each of these secret guards is extremely skilled, agile, and ruthless in their moves.

They were seen moving freely among the crowd, and knocking down the thugs with just a few punches and kicks.

A big man raised a stick and smashed it hard on the head of a secret guard.

The secret guard was not in a hurry. He dodged the fierce attack easily with a flash of his body. 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 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 of his companions behind him.

Another secret guard approached the bully quickly like a ghost.

The bully was startled and tried to run away, but the secret guard grabbed him by the collar.

The dark guard's eyes were as cold as ice, and he said viciously: "You evildoer, today is your retribution!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and punched the bully hard in the face.

The bully's nose started bleeding instantly, he screamed and fell to the ground.

The shopkeeper was hiding behind the counter. When he saw this scene, he was surprised and happy.

I was surprised that the bully's evil deeds were finally punished, but I was happy that I was able to escape danger again with the help of Xi Yu.

He gripped the edge of the counter tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white from the force, and stared at the situation on the field without blinking.

At this time, the hall was in chaos, tables and chairs were overturned, and broken porcelain was scattered all over the floor.

The bully's men were no longer able to fight back under the attack of the secret guards and lay on the ground groaning in pain.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the bully struggled to get up from the ground and tried to sneak away.

However, his every move was seen by Xi Yu.

Xi Yu snorted coldly and said, "Want to run? Not that easy!"

The secret guards moved as fast as lightning and surrounded the bully who tried to escape in the blink of an eye.

One of the secret guards stretched out his hand like a hook, grabbed the bully's collar from behind, and threw him hard. The bully fell heavily to the ground like a broken sack, raising a cloud of dust.

Xi Yu's face was full of anger. He walked forward and looked down at the bully with disgust in his eyes.

"If a beast like you is not severely punished, he will definitely bring disaster to the village in the future." After saying this, he nodded slightly to the secret guard.

The secret guards who received the order showed no mercy and attacked ruthlessly. After a moment, the bully let out a sharp scream and rolled on the ground in pain. His limbs had been dislocated by the secret guards with clever and sharp methods, and he completely lost the ability to resist and became disabled.

After dealing with the bully, the secret guards quickly grabbed the thugs who were still groaning and threw them into the woodshed of the inn.

Xi Yu looked at the mess and turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, don't worry, I have already dealt with these evildoers. They will stay in the woodshed tonight, and I will have the secret guards keep a close watch on them. Tomorrow morning, they will be sent to the government and made to pay the price for their evil deeds."

The shopkeeper came out from behind the counter tremblingly, his legs weak, and he almost knelt down again. His eyes were full of tears of gratitude, and his voice trembled as he said, "Sir, you... you are really our great benefactor. If it weren't for you, I would be dead today, and this inn would be destroyed by them."

Xi Yu waved his hand and consoled him, "Boss, don't say that. It's my duty to help those in need when I see injustice. Don't worry too much tonight and have a good rest."

Afterwards, Xi Yu arranged for the secret guards to take turns guarding the woodshed to prevent these evil guys from escaping or any other accidents.

He himself returned to the room.

The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds onto the earth, bringing a touch of warmth to the entire town.

However, for the bully and his men, this will be the continuation of their nightmare.

The secret guards escorted the bully and his dejected subordinates all the way to the government office.

When the people on both sides of the street saw this scene, they gathered around, with anger and a hint of fear in their eyes.

After all, these bullies usually run rampant in the town and make everyone suffer.

Now seeing them being escorted to the government office, the people were secretly happy.

When they arrived at the government office, the secret guards informed the officials of the whole story in detail.

After hearing this, the officials took it very seriously and immediately brought the case to court for trial.

Faced with the irrefutable evidence, the bully and his men had no choice but to plead guilty.

After dealing with all this, the secret guards returned to the inn to report to Xi Yu.

"Prime Minister, the bully and his men have been detained by the government, and they will be punished accordingly." The leading secret guard said respectfully. Xi Yu nodded slightly, with a look of relief on his face.

"Very good, thank you for your hard work, please leave."

The secret guards took the order and retreated, and Xi Yu began to pack his bags.

After packing up, Xi Yu went downstairs and found the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper saw Xi Yu, he immediately came forward, his eyes full of reluctance: "Sir, are you leaving now?"

Xi Yu smiled and said, "Yes, shopkeeper, I have some things to deal with and can't stay any longer."

The shopkeeper's eyes were slightly red, and he said, "Sir, I have no way to repay your kindness. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I should do."

Xi Yu waved his hand and said, "Boss, you don't have to be so polite. If you encounter any troubles in the future, go and ask for 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.

Not long after Xi Yu left, he heard someone shouting, "Sir, please stay!"

He turned around and saw that it was the shopkeeper who was riding a horse and chasing after him.

Xi Yu pulled the reins, puzzled, but with a gentle smile on his face, he asked, "Boss, 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, "Sir, I have a bold guess, but I don't know whether I should tell you or not... Are you the Prime Minister?"

Xi Yu was shocked when he heard this, but his face remained calm. He looked at the shopkeeper calmly and asked, "Shopkeeper, why do you say that?

"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you. I have something on my mind that I can't help but speak out. Those talented people around you come and go without a trace, and they are very skilled. I told others about this, and they said that they were the prime minister's unique guards. I began to speculate, and I dare to ask, are you the prime minister?"

Xi Yu was slightly stunned, then he smiled and said frankly: "The shopkeeper has a good eye, I am indeed the prime minister."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was horrified and fell to his knees with a plop, saying, "My sin, my sin, I was blind and did not recognize the Prime Minister earlier!" As he said this, he was about to kowtow.

Xi Yu quickly dismounted, helped the shopkeeper up with both hands, and said, "Shopkeeper, there is no need to be so polite. Please stand up quickly."

The shopkeeper's face flushed with excitement and his voice trembled.

"I never expected that the Prime Minister would condescend to make the decision for a small person like me. This is such a great favor that I cannot repay even a fraction of it even if I die!"

Xi Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Boss, please don't say that. As the prime minister, it is my duty to help the people solve their problems. You run this inn here and make a living, but you are bullied by that bully. How can I just sit back and watch?"

The shopkeeper nodded continuously with tears in his eyes.

"Mr. Prime Minister, you don't know that the bully has been rampant in this place for a long time. We, the common people, have been bullied by him and are miserable, but we dare not speak out. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how I would live in the future."

Xi Yu patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder and consoled him: "Now the bully has been sent to the government. I believe he will soon receive the punishment he deserves. From now on, just focus on running the inn. If you have any more difficulties, feel free to come to the capital to find me."

The shopkeeper was flattered and responded quickly: "Thank you, Prime Minister! Thank you, Prime Minister! I'll make a note of it."

Xi Yu climbed onto his horse and gave his final instructions: "Boss, go back. You don't have to see me off so far."

After saying that, he shook the reins, the horse neighed, and galloped away into the distance.

The shopkeeper stood there, looking in the direction where Xi Yu left, unwilling 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 innkeeper told everyone about his encounter with the prime minister, and the guests in the inn were amazed. This incident soon spread throughout 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 was standing in front of her residence.

A breeze blew by, and the flowers and plants around swayed gently, creating a peaceful scene.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence.

Luo Xiaoyu looked up and saw the Taoist priest who had been rude to her that day standing not far away with a guilty look on his face.

The Taoist priest bowed slightly, his expression sincere, his tone full of regret: "Mr. Luo, I am really sorry. I was reckless a few days ago and wronged you. I came here today to apologize."

Luo Xiaoyu frowned slightly, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and she scolded him unceremoniously: "Master, as a Taoist, you should distinguish right from wrong. But you spoke ill of me based on groundless speculation. Is this the right way to do things? In the future, when you encounter something, you must understand the whole story first, and don't act so rashly again."

The Taoist priest lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Luo Xiaoyu's eyes, and repeatedly said, "Mr. Luo is right. I have not practiced enough and failed to control my impatience. In the future, I will be careful with my words and actions, and check carefully, and never make such mistakes again."

Seeing his sincere attitude, Luo Xiaoyu's anger subsided a little, and she said slowly: "It's good that the Taoist priest can correct his mistakes. This Kunlun Mountain is a place for spiritual practice, and everyone should respect each other and live in harmony."

The Taoist priest nodded quickly and said, "Mr. Luo is right. This lesson is profound and I will definitely remember it in my heart. If you need me in the future, please let me know."

Luo Xiaoyu nodded slightly and said, "I hope the Taoist priest will keep his word. If there is nothing else, you can go back first."

The Taoist priest bowed respectfully again, then turned and left. When the Taoist priest's figure disappeared around the corner, Luo Xiaoyu sighed softly and looked towards the mountains in the distance.

Not long after the Taoist priest left, a brisk yet anxious sound of footsteps was heard.

Luo Xiaoyu turned her head and saw Xiaohong walking towards her with a worried look on her face.

Xiaohong walked up to Luo Xiaoyu, frowning, her eyes full of worry, and said, "Brother Xiaoyu, why hasn't the Prime Minister come back yet? I'm so worried, I'm really worried that the Prime Minister will be in danger."

Luo Xiaoyu looked at Xiaohong's anxious look, smiled slightly, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry too much. The Prime Minister is a lucky man. He has great blessings and wisdom, so he will be fine."

Xiao Hong bit her lip and said, "That being said, the Prime Minister will be traveling all the way this time, and I don't know how many unknown dangers he will encounter. I am really worried."

Luo Xiaoyu nodded slightly, looking into the distance, as if she could see the Prime Minister's itinerary at the moment, and said: "I understand your worries. The Prime Minister has the world in his heart and is running around everywhere, so it is inevitable that he will encounter some twists and turns. But he has many capable people around him to protect him, and he will definitely be able to overcome the danger. It's useless for us to worry here, so we might as well trust the Prime Minister and wait patiently for his return."

Suddenly, Luo Xiaoyu seemed to muster up the courage, and fiercely grabbed Xiaohong's hand, looking at her with burning eyes, with a hint of uneasiness and determination in her tone.

"Xiaohong, I have a selfish thought. It would be great if the Prime Minister never found the medicine that can restore your memory."

Xiao Hong was stunned and confused, and asked hurriedly: "Why do you say that?"

Luo Xiaoyu lowered her head slightly, and her voice became soft and a little nervous.

"Now that you have no memories of the past, you won't have those troubles. And... and I like you. If you stay like this, we can be a couple. If you recover your memory, you might not like me. I'm really afraid of losing you."

After hearing this, Xiaohong's face instantly turned red and her heart began to beat uncontrollably.

She subconsciously broke free from Luo Xiaoyu's hand and said coquettishly, "You...what are you talking about!"

After saying that, she turned around in panic like a frightened deer, trotted into the room, and slammed the door shut.

Luo Xiaoyu stood there blankly, looking at the closed door, feeling extremely regretful. She wondered if her reckless confession had frightened Xiaohong.

He wondered whether he should chase after her and explain further, but he was afraid that going now would only make Xiaohong more embarrassed.

In the room, Xiaohong leaned against the door, covering her burning cheeks with her hands. 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 retracted it the moment she touched the door.

He was conflicted. He was afraid that his words would make Xiaohong angry, and he was also worried that disturbing her would make her even more upset.

Just as Luo Xiaoyu was hesitating, Xiaohong's faint sobbing sounds were heard from the room.

Luo Xiaoyu's heart tightened, and she could no longer care about anything else. She knocked on the door and said, "Xiaohong, what's wrong with you? Did I say something too much just now? Don't be angry, it's my fault."

The sobbing sound in the room paused for a moment, and then Xiaohong's crying voice was heard.

"You...you go away, I don't want to see you."

Luo Xiaoyu became more and more anxious, her tone full of concern and self-blame.

"Xiao Hong, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't be so selfish and shouldn't tell you this. If you find me annoying, I'll leave right away. I just ask you to stop crying." (End of this chapter)
