Xi Zhicai sat quietly at the desk, thinking about something and something.

Xi Zhicai looked up and saw a hint of doubt and worry on his face.

The housekeeper asked softly: "Master, is there something happening in that voice?"

Xi Zhicai hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth.

He said to the butler: "The voice that spoke last night was the secret guard beside my brother Xi Yu."

The butler showed a surprised expression on his face, and he asked, "Secret Guard? What is he doing here?"

Just as I finished asking, I probably understood what was going on.

The housekeeper frowned and asked, "What should the master do? What measures should I take?"

Xi Zhicai could tell the dream he had that day.

"I really don't know what to choose now."

The housekeeper understood the difficulties of Xi Zhicai, so he knelt down and persuaded Xi Zhicai to defect to Xi Yu.

"Master, I know your concerns, but in this troubled times, sometimes reputation is not the most important thing. What is important is to survive and find a better way out for yourself and your family. Mr. Xi is your younger brother, and it is actually legitimate to join him." The butler's voice was full of sincerity and concern.

Xi Zhicai listened silently, and he knew that the butler was telling the truth.

The other party's views are basically the same as those of the secret guards.

But there was another voice in his heart, a persistence on justice and principles.

"Butler, I understand what you mean. For me, reputation is a kind of faith and the bottom line I stick to." Xi Zhicai's tone was full of helplessness.

The housekeeper sighed. He knew that Xi Zhicai was an ideal and ambitious person, but he was also worried that Xi Zhicai's persistence would bring him danger.

"Master, I don't want you to give up your principles. I just hope you can learn to adapt in this complex environment. Sometimes, we need to make some compromises to better achieve our goals. Choosing good birds to live in trees and choosing a suitable supporter does not mean that you have to give up your beliefs."

Xi Zhicai fell into deep thought, and he knew that the butler's words made sense.

Moreover, this housekeeper was very knowledgeable when he was young, so it was very normal for him to say these words.

Xi Zhicai realized that he was in a fierce struggle in his heart.

"I still have to think about this matter carefully, but after talking to you so much, I feel relieved."

At the same time, he immediately held the butler's hand.

"Don't tell anyone about this today."

"Master, just don't worry."

After that, the housekeeper stepped down because of Xi Zhi's desire to be alone for a while.

Another day has passed.

Late at night, everything was silent, and only the faint moonlight shone through the windows in the room.

Xi Zhicai sat at the desk, his heart full of entanglement and struggle, but he finally made a decision.

Suddenly, a breeze blew, and a black figure quietly appeared in the room.

It was the secret guard Qin Feng who came.

His eyes were firm and sharp.

Xi Zhicai raised his head and looked at Qin Feng. A trace of fatigue and helplessness appeared in his eyes.

He sighed softly, of course he understood why the other party came, so it was better to speak on his own initiative.

He said: "Qin Feng, I have already thought about it. After painful struggles, I am willing to defect to Xi Yu."

A trace of joy flashed across Qin Feng's face, but he did not reveal it.

This nerd finally thought about it and should have done this long ago.

He nodded and said, "Mr. Xi, I know this is a difficult decision for you. But in this troubled times, survival is the most important thing. Xi Gong has more advantages and he can protect you."

Xi Zhicai lowered his head sadly, his voice full of helplessness.

"I know that if I had something to do, Xi Yu would be unhappy."

Qin Feng understood the pain in Xi Zhicai's heart, and he whispered: "Mr. Xi, you don't have to blame yourself too much. This is a cruel world, and we must make some compromises. I believe that your talent and ideals will not be erased by this decision."

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly, and a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes.

Qin Feng nodded, and his eyes became serious: "Mr. Xi, I have an important discovery. Through my observation, I found that there were some people outside the mansion secretly investigating the entire mansion of Xi. It was probably Cao Pi who sent someone to monitor your movements."

Xi Zhicai frowned, and he thought angrily: "This despicable villain Cao Pi! He was so useless to monitor my every move."

It seems that leaving him is right.

It seems that Cao Pi is also very worried that he will leave here.

Qin Feng sneered.

"Did he think this will control everything about us? We won't let him succeed. I will help you get out of here and stay away from Cao Pi's surveillance."

Xi Zhicai looked at Qin Feng gratefully.

"Thank you, Qin Feng. I feel much more at ease with you by my side. Let's leave this place of right and wrong together."

Qin Feng bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Xi, this is my duty. I will protect your safety."

The night is still quiet and deep. But in this room, Xi Zhicai and Qin Feng's determination and courage are burning.

The next step is to plan how to get out of this place.

At this moment, Xi Yu was resting in Song Meijiao's room.

The two of them finished what they should do and were planning to rest.

Xi Yu suddenly kept sneezing.

Song Meijiao was very nervous and quickly stroked her hand on Xi Yu's forehead.

"What are you doing?"

"I wonder if you have a cold, why did you sneeze so much?"

"How is that possible? I feel that my brother misses me?"

Song Meijiao has never met Xi Zhicai before, but has heard of it from Xi Yu.

"I hope I will see my uncle one day."

"You will see him, I guess he has made the right choice."

This is Xi Yu's telepathy, and he thinks his telepathy will not be wrong.

"What do you mean is that uncle finally comes out to surrender to us"?

Xi Yu nodded, he thought it should be like this.

"Husband, don't hold too much hope every day. Maybe the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

Xi Yu yawned, and he said that he knew his brother very well.

And more of it is that he believes in Qin Feng's ability.

Qin Feng will definitely persuade his brother well.

Song Meijiao hugged Xi Yu's neck and the two of them officially fell asleep.

On the other side, when night fell, Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun escorted Liu Xie and his group to the inn.

They and the soldiers, their tired faces revealed the fatigue of the long journey.

There were crowds of people in the inn, and Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun and Liu Xie were sitting at a table in the corner.

The soldiers were on other tables, keeping their guard.

Liu Xie's face was a little pale, and a hint of worry was revealed in his eyes.

Although he was an emperor, his destiny was always in the hands of others, and he felt even more displaced at this moment, although this trip made him very happy.

During the meal, two customers noticed the special features of Liu Xie.

They observed secretly and found that everyone seemed to be acting according to Liu Xie's expression, guessing that he must be a big shot.

The two whispered and conspired to kidnap Liu Xie.

They intend to take advantage of this opportunity in exchange for a generous ransom.

One of the customers whispered: "Looking at the gorgeously dressed man, he must have a very good identity. If we can kidnap him, we can get a considerable amount of wealth."

Another customer nodded, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, we can do it while they leave the inn. At that time, we can enjoy the glory and wealth."

They secretly observed Liu Xie's every move and waited for the right opportunity.

At the same time, Zhou Yu keenly noticed the abnormal atmosphere around him.

He quietly observed the two whispering customers, and a sense of alertness surged in his heart.

He whispered to Zhao Yun: "I feel something is wrong. The two customers seem to be conspiring. We must be vigilant and protect His Majesty's safety."

Zhao Yun nodded slightly, his eyes firm and sharp.

He stood up and walked to Liu Xie's side, and said softly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. We will ensure your safety and will never let anyone hurt you."

Liu Xie looked at Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu gratefully, knowing that his life was guaranteed in their hands.

He also whispered to the two of them, "You must be more normal in the future and don't be respectful to yourself, otherwise you will be seen by others."
