We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

At this time, when the big man heard Zhao Qiang's scolding, not only was he not annoyed, but he burst into laughter. The laughter was full of arrogance: "Humph, look, whoever dares to go against me, tell me what to do!"

After saying that, he released Zhao Qiang's hand and walked forward swaggeringly, looking arrogant.

Just at this moment, there was just a sound of horse hooves, and the coachman rushed over on his horse at lightning speed, shouting loudly as he rushed: "You beast, today is the day you deserve to be punished!"

Hearing the sound, the big man stopped, turned to look at the coachman, and sneered: "Hey, your friend was almost beaten to death by me, and you still dare to come, because you think your life is too long, so you rushed here to die. ”

The coachman was not afraid at all. He pulled the reins suddenly, stopped the horse quickly, sat firmly on the horse, and faced the big man with determination in his eyes.

Just when the tension was tense, a majestic voice suddenly sounded: "Who is so bold!"

It was Xi Yu who got off the carriage.

When everyone around them saw that the Prime Minister was indeed here, they suddenly looked surprised and started whispering among themselves, thinking that this was going to be a good show and that the bully would definitely be punished.

But that burly man was a blind master, and he didn't know Xi Yu at all. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then sneered, and shouted at Xi Yu with disdain on his face: " Oh, who are you, a brat, to interfere in my business?"

The coachman listened, angry and anxious, and shouted loudly: "You blind fool, you dare to insult the current Prime Minister, you deserve death! Today is the day for your death, why don't you hurry up?" Kneel down and beg for mercy!" The voice was trembling with anger. He was really angry at this big man's arrogance.

When the burly man heard this, he froze on the spot. His eyes widened and he looked straight at Xi Yu with disbelief on his face. It took him a while to come back to his senses and stammered. : "What? You...are you the current prime minister?"

Zhao Qiang struggled to get up from the ground, rubbing his sore body while walking towards Xi Yu.

Xi Yu hurried forward to greet him and asked him with concern: "Are you okay?"

Zhao Qiang said with a grimace: "Prime Minister, I was beaten severely by this bastard just now, and now I'm still hurting all over my body."

Xi Yu frowned, turned to the carriage driver and said, "Hurry up and take Zhao Qiang to Song Shuwen's medical clinic and let the miracle doctor look at the injury. Leave it to me."

With that said, he told the coachman the specific location of the medical center in detail.

The carriage driver did not dare to delay, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Qiang up. The two hurriedly hurried towards the medical center, leaving only Xi Yu and the burly man who had not yet recovered to confront each other on the spot.

After that, Xi Yu looked at the tall man with cold eyes, like a knife, and asked in a cold tone: "Hmph, I would like to ask, who gave you the courage to dare to do this in Youzhou City?" Are you running rampant and acting recklessly?"

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came, "dong dong dong", it was Chen Shou who hurried over.

When he saw the burly man, he recognized it immediately. A flash of anger flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly came to Xi Yu and said angrily: "Prime Minister, this is the beast who made trouble in the inn that day. He was very arrogant. Na!"

The burly man also recognized Chen Shou, with a ferocious smile on his face, and he cursed in a drunken voice: "Humph, I didn't expect that this abominable thing like you has also come to Youzhou, why do you want to try it again? Isn’t my fist good enough?”

As he spoke, he still looked careless and extremely arrogant.

At this moment, Xi Yu's eyes flashed coldly, and he suddenly raised his hand and slapped him hard.

There was a crisp "pop" sound, and the slap landed firmly on the big man's face, hitting his head to the side.

The big man suddenly became angry with embarrassment, his face flushed red, he cursed and waved his fist, ready to attack Xi Yu.

He said that the prime minister in front of him must be a fake, and he would not be afraid.

But he is no match for Xi Yu. It is no problem for Xi Yu to deal with such a reckless "little ant".

Before the big man could greet him with his fist, Xi Yu had already dodged, and then flew up with a kick, swiftly and powerfully kicking the big man in the abdomen.

Just hearing a scream of "Ouch", the big man was kicked to the ground like a torn bag. He couldn't get up for a long time. He was still moaning and screaming, and his arrogance was instantly suppressed.

Xi Yu secretly sneered in his heart, thinking that he often saw the secret guards fighting, and he was so immersed in it that he actually learned a lot of moves invisibly, and he was self-taught.

The big man finally struggled to stand up from the ground, rubbed his stomach that was so painful from being kicked, and cursed again.

Xi Yu frowned and said with a serious look: "You, you are lucky today. It was me you met, and I can spare your life. If you continue to be so arrogant, one day if you meet A real tough guy, with your skills like this, you’ve probably died a long time ago.”

Those fearful people who had previously kept silent and only dared to watch silently, now saw that Xi Yu had taken control of the situation, and they gradually gained courage.

Among the crowd, an old man stood up tremblingly and said indignantly: "Such fanatics dare to openly confront the Prime Minister. They are really treasonous and unjust. Death is not a pity! Prime Minister, such evil deeds must not be tolerated. I also hope that you can exterminate these nine tribes in accordance with the national law, as a warning to others, so that we and other people can regain peace."

His words instantly caused everyone around him to agree.

"Yes, Prime Minister, we must not let him off lightly!"

"Only by annihilating the nine tribes can we demonstrate the majesty of the country's laws!" For a time, the crowd was furious, and calls for severe punishment resounded throughout the streets.

At this time, the burly man looked at the indignant expressions of the people around him, and listened to the people shouting that they wanted to destroy his nine tribes. He couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart. His original arrogance also diminished a lot, and there was a look of fear in his eyes. .

He swallowed, looked at Xi Yu again, and asked cautiously: "You...are you really the prime minister?"

Xi Yu sneered, with majesty and disdain in his eyes, and said slowly: "Huh, someone has impersonated me before, but who can I impersonate so easily? I am the prime minister of the imperial court, can I still fake my identity? ? You should have expected such consequences if you were so lawless and wantonly causing trouble."

Having said that, he stood with his hands behind his back, and his demeanor made it obvious to others that he was an extraordinary person.

Then, Xi Yu calmly took out the token that symbolized the Prime Minister's identity from his arms and raised it high. The token shone with a unique light under the sunlight. Everyone around him saw this and saluted respectfully.

When the burly man saw the token, his face turned pale with fear, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

But a moment later, he seemed to have gone crazy. He threw his head up to the sky and laughed loudly. There was a sense of despair and madness in his laughter: "Hahaha, if that's the case, then just kill me. Anyway, I I have lived enough in this life. I have been living in a state of confusion all day, and there is no point in living. If I die in the hands of the Prime Minister, I can finally find a destination for my bad life! "

After saying that, he held his neck, looking like he had smashed a broken jar, but his slightly trembling body still revealed the fear in his heart.

Then, Xi Yu raised his hand slightly and made a slight move towards the void. In an instant, several black shadows flashed, and it was the secret guard who had been hiding in the dark to protect Xi Yu.

Xi Yu looked stern and ordered to the secret guard: "Put this lunatic in jail for the time being, and wait for a detailed trial in the future to find out his origins and the reasons for such crazy behavior."

The secret guards took the order and stepped forward to restrain the burly man without saying a word.

The big man did not struggle and allowed himself to be held by the secret guards. He still had no intention of begging for mercy. He was still laughing. The laughter echoed on the street, revealing a bit of sadness and determination: "It's okay to die, right?" For me, that’s a relief. I’ve long been tired of this messy life!”

After that, he followed the footsteps of the secret guard and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only a group of people who couldn't help but admire Xi Yu and lamented the majesty and justice of the prime minister.

Zhao Qiang and the carriage driver hurriedly and slowly arrived at the hospital.

As soon as he entered the door of the medical clinic, he saw Song Shuwen sorting out medicinal materials. The coachman hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Are you Doctor Song? It was the Prime Minister who asked us to come. This friend of mine was beaten on the road. Please help me." Let’s see the injury.”

Song Shuwen raised his eyelids, looked indifferent, and replied lukewarmly: "Humph, no matter who asked you here, since you are injured, let me take a look first."

After that, he put down the medicinal materials in his hands and walked towards Zhao Qiang, ready to check his injuries.

Song Shuwen skillfully began to treat Zhao Qiang. First, he carefully inspected the injury, muttering about the condition of the injury from time to time, and then carried out a series of operations such as applying medicine and bandaging in an orderly manner.

Not long after, Xi Yu also hurried to the courtyard of the hospital.

As soon as he came in, he saw the coachman standing in the yard, looking into the house with a slightly anxious expression.

Xi Yu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Has Zhao Qiang started treatment? How is the situation?"

Seeing that it was Xi Yu who had arrived, the carriage driver hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Divine Doctor Song is treating Zhao Qiang in the house. He should be healed soon."

As he said that, he looked towards the direction of the house again, hoping that Zhao Qiang would get better as soon as possible.

At this moment, the door of the room was gently pushed open, and Song Shuwen and Zhao Qiang walked out together.

Zhao Qiang looked at Xi Yu, slightly cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, I heard your voice in the room just now. I really didn't expect that Prime Minister, you care so much about a little person like me."

Xi Yu waved his hand and said in a calm tone: "There is no need to be so polite. It is fate that we all meet each other."

Then he said to the coachman: "Now that Zhao Qiang is injured and has difficulty moving, they should stay in Youzhou to recuperate for the time being. Don't rush back to their hometown now, so that they can recover from their injuries in peace of mind."

When Zhao Qiang heard this, his eyes were filled with gratitude, and he hurriedly saluted Xi Yu with clasped fists and thanked him repeatedly. The carriage driver also nodded his head with a look of emotion on his face.

The carriage driver hurriedly asked: "Master Prime Minister, what is the situation now?"

Xi Yu's face darkened, and he snorted coldly and said: "Humph, I have ordered the secret guards to put that beast in prison. Let him stay there for a few days to reflect and reflect. After that, we will review it carefully. We must investigate Know his ins and outs.”

A stern look flashed in Zhao Qiang's eyes, and he said viciously: "Although I am not a good person. I just like to steal things for fun, but I will never be so rude and arrogant to others like him."

When Song Shuwen heard Xi Yu's words, he suddenly looked surprised. He turned to look at Zhao Qiang and asked with confusion on his face: "What? Were you a thief before?"

Zhao Qiang suddenly blushed, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said awkwardly: "Doctor Song, that's all in the past. I've already changed my ways a long time ago, and I won't do those stupid things anymore. , please don’t be biased against me because of this.”

After hearing this, Song Shuwen nodded slightly and said "Oh". The expression on his face softened a little, thinking that since he had changed his mind, there was no need to hold on to the past.

Xi Yu looked up at the sky.

He straightened his clothes and said: "The things here are over, I will go back to the government office first. There are many things that are involved, and I still need to go back and sort them out. You can rest assured to recuperate in Youzhou. What are your needs? Send someone to inform me."

The carriage driver and Zhao Qiang nodded quickly. The carriage driver took a step forward, held his hands respectfully and said: "Prime Minister, please go slowly. You have the world in your heart and work hard day and night. Your concern for little people like us shows your kindness and generosity even more. Zhao Qiang and I Brother, I will go back to the inn and I will follow your instructions and take good care of myself."

Zhao Qiang also clasped his fists and saluted, his eyes full of gratitude: "Prime Minister, Zhao Qiang will never forget your kindness. After he recovers, if he is asked to do anything, he will not hesitate to do so."

So, the two said goodbye to Xi Yu and walked slowly towards the inn side by side.

Zhao Qiang was limping slightly. Seeing this, the coachman reached out to help him get into the carriage and joked: "You have suffered a big loss this time, but you are also a blessing in disguise, having the Prime Minister's favor."

Zhao Qiang smiled bitterly.

"Don't mention it again. I will be more careful in the future and never let myself fall into such a situation again."

The coachman said with a serious face: "Brother Zhao Qiang, this is not something that can be avoided by just being careful. I really admire you from the bottom of my heart for your bravery in rushing forward to fight the evil man just now. To be honest, If it were me, I would have been so frightened that my legs would be weak, and I would not have the courage to face such a fierce person. "

After hearing this, Zhao Qiang smiled sheepishly, scratched his head and said: "Haha, it's strange to say that I used to be a thief who was despised by others. I was sneaking around all day long, thinking only about how to get something for nothing. I never thought that I would be able to get something for nothing recently. For being able to do such a heroic act, let alone you, I can't help but admire myself. This is probably the so-called prodigal son who never returns with money. After all this, I don't want to go back to the chaotic days of the past. ”

After hearing what Zhao Qiang said, the coachman burst into a heartfelt smile and nodded repeatedly. His heart was full of joy, and he was happy that Zhao Qiang could have such a change.

The two of them walked and chatted, and before they knew it, they came to the door of the familiar inn.

The inn was bustling with people coming and going, and the waiter's enthusiastic shouts could be heard from time to time, as if welcoming them back.

The carriage driver and Zhao Qiang smiled at each other and stepped into the inn, ready to take a good rest and nurse their injuries back.

As soon as the coachman and Zhao Qiang stepped into the inn, the waiter saw them coming back. His eyes suddenly lit up and his face was full of joy.

He knew clearly in his heart that the Prime Minister had personally confessed that the expenses of these two people would be paid by the Prime Minister's Mansion, so these two people in front of him were distinguished guests who could not be offended, and he had to fawn over them.

So, the waiter hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Masters, you are finally back. You have to have a good rest today. If you need anything, just ask me. I will take care of it for you two."

As he spoke, he hunched over his waist, with a fawning look on full display, hoping to satisfy these two people and get a good deal in front of the prime minister.

Xi Yu was in the room, with a sharp look in his eyes, he quickly raised his hand and gave three high-fives. In an instant, three black figures appeared from the shadows like ghosts, knelt down on one knee, and said in unison: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

Xi Yu's face was stern and he ordered: "Go to the border quickly and bring the soldiers on duty to see me. Then go to the prison where the big man is detained and carefully check if you have any impression of him. Pay special attention to the means by which this person crossed the border. Yes, don’t miss any clues.”

"Yes!" The secret guards agreed in unison, and immediately their bodies swayed and disappeared from the place, leaving only a trace of breeze blowing gently, proving that they had stayed here.

About half an hour later, the soldiers came in a hurry.

Xi Yu looked gloomy and said in a cold voice: "Today, a madman appeared on the street. He looked like a mad dog and acted arrogantly. He has been detained. Later, the secret guard will lead you to the prison to identify him. If he is an outsider, carefully check who he is. How to enter the city; if you are a local resident, check your household registration immediately and find out your place of origin. "

When the soldiers heard this, their hearts trembled, and they did not dare to slack off at all. They quickly responded in unison: "As ordered!"

Immediately, he followed closely behind the secret guard and walked quickly towards the prison.

Xi Yu looked at their departing figures with deep and cold eyes, and the doubts in his heart became more and more intense. He only hoped that this thorough investigation would reveal the many layers of mystery hidden behind the big man.

After a while, several soldiers came back and told Xi Yu that they had not seen this person at the border crossing.

"It's probably local. Just go back and investigate quickly. Let me know the results when you have them."

Several soldiers immediately obeyed and left immediately.

Xi Yu remembered the man's words of self-destruction, saying that death would be better.

Even if you want to die, you shouldn't harm others. (End of this chapter)
