As the night gets deeper, the streets outside the inn are silent.

Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun closely guarded Liu Xie and were wary of any possible dangers.

Suddenly, a noise broke the tranquility. A group of men in black suddenly broke into the inn. They rushed towards Liu Xie and others with swords in their hands.

Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun reacted quickly, and they pulled out their swords and started a fierce battle with the man in black.

In the inn, there was a sudden chaos, the sound of tables and chairs falling over and the sound of plates breaking is endless.

Zhou Yu's sword technique is fierce, and his figure shuttles between the men in black like a ghost, and each sword is a fatal threat.

Zhao Yun's spear danced like a dragon going out to sea, forcing the man in black to retreat repeatedly.

Under the heroic battle between Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun, the man in black was gradually suppressed.

They realized that they had underestimated Liu Xie's guardian power and began to want to retreat.

Zhao Yun said: "We must leave a living mouth."

Several men in black were killed by Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun, and only one survived.

Liu Xie looked at them gratefully, and his voice trembled slightly, "Thank you, without your protection, I may have encountered an unexpected situation."

Zhou Yu bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, it is our duty to protect your safety. No matter what dangers we encounter, we will stand in front of you without hesitation."

Zhao Yun held the spear in his hand tightly and said firmly: "Don't worry, your Majesty, no one can hurt you with us."

A trace of tears flashed in Liu Xie's eyes, and he deeply felt the loyalty and courage of Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun.

This sudden attack made them more alert, and they knew that they might encounter more dangers on the way back.

Next, Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu asked Liu Xie to go back to his room to rest.

They will next judge the man in black.

Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu dragged the man in black into the woods outside the inn. At night, the moonlight shone through the gaps of the leaves, forming mottled light and shadow.

A breeze blew, and the leaves also whistled, adding a hint of gloomy atmosphere.

The man in black was tied to a tree.

Zhao Yun asked, "Say, who sent it?"

But the man in black had a very hard mouth and he always insisted on not talking.

So, Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu looked at each other and decided to torture him in every way to force him to tell the truth.

Zhou Yu walked to the man in black, his eyes were cold and sharp, as if he could penetrate the heart of the man in black.

He said in a low voice: "You'd better give honest advice, otherwise you will face more severe punishment."

The man in black bit his lip and still said nothing.

His eyes were firm, as if he was protecting some secret.

A sense of anger surged in Zhao Yun's heart. He stepped forward, reached out to grab the man in black's collar, and pulled him closer to him.

His voice was threatening.

"How long do you think you can hold on? Tell us the truth, this is your only way out."

At this time, a trace of fear flashed across the man in black's face, but he remained silent.

Zhou Yu frowned slightly.

"It seems we need to use some special methods to get you to speak."

He signaled Zhao Yun to let go of the man in black, and then took out a whip from his arms.

The man in black looked at the whip in Zhou Yu's hand, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.

He knew what kind of torture he would face next.

Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu began to whip the man in black, and whip fell down one after another.

A bloody mark was left on the man in black.

He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, but still refused to reveal the truth.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the will of the man in black gradually shook.

He felt the determination of Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu, and knew that he could no longer resist.

Finally, the man in black spoke, his voice full of fatigue and helplessness: "Okay, I said, I said..."

Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu stopped the whip in their hands, approached the man in black, and waited for him to tell the truth.

The man in black gasped and said slowly: "We are a gang. At first, we did kill the rich and help the poor. But as time went by, the nature of the gang changed, but now they are starting to rob the family..."

The initiator of this incident was indeed related to the two sneaky guests, and the man in black also told the place where the two people were currently.

The man in black looked at them with a hint of pleading in his tone: "I have told you everything I know, let me go."

"How is this possible?" Zhou Yu soon ended his life.

Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun followed the instructions of the man in black to a certain village.

The moonlight enveloped the entire village, so quiet that only the sound of insects could be heard.

They carefully walked through the narrow village road, looking for the target the man in black said.

Finally, they found two people who were drinking.

The two men sat in front of a shabby cottage, holding wine glasses in their hands, and a smug smile on their faces.

They were talking complacently about the upcoming kidnapping, as if they had seen wealth waving to them.

"We are about to get rich. During this period, my brothers have opinions about us."

"That's right, I don't know what that person is."

"What if he doesn't matter, he must be very rich."

Suddenly, two strangers appeared in front of them, which shocked them and almost fell to the ground.

Zhou Yu's eyes were cold, revealing a decisive aura.

He stared at the two men, and said in a calm tone but majestic manner.

"Your plan has been revealed. All your people are dead."

Zhao Yun held the hilt of the sword in his hand tightly, his body tense, ready to attack at any time.

His eyes were firm, as if telling the two people that they had no way out.

The faces of the two men instantly turned pale. They tried to defend themselves, but Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun did not give them a chance.

"Your behavior is unforgivable. You should die quickly." Zhou Yu's voice was filled with a hint of determination.

The two men knew that they had no way out and they tried to resist, but Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun were agile and quickly subdued them.

The two men fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun turned around and left the small village, and their figures gradually merged into the darkness.

They soon returned to the inn and arrived at the door of Liu Xie's room.

"Your Majesty, can we go in?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Come in quickly, I'm planning to find you." Liu Xie's voice came from inside.

Liu Xie's room was brightly lit.

Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun walked in and saluted Liu Xie.

Zhou Yu reported what had just happened.

Liu Xie nodded and said, "I already know that you did a good job. Although the kidnappers did something wrong, they were just to make a living. I also knew that they did such a thing because of life. However, their behavior was illegal after all and they had to be punished."

Zhou Yu and the others did not expect him to say this. With this idea, he proved that he was not stupid, but he was in a bad era.

Liu Xie remembered the conversation he had with Xi Yu.

"Xi Yu is a capable person who can become the lord of the world. As long as the people in the world live a good life, perhaps no one will think of something messy."

Both of them were very happy when they heard Liu Xie’s praise of the Western Regions, and they were also particularly proud.

"Okay, you can go out, I'm going to rest."

So the two of them quickly retreated and told the soldiers to serve His Majesty well.

No assassins or kidnappers can be allowed to arrive.

"Don't worry, two generals, we will definitely be guarded by His Majesty's safety."

Then, the two returned to the room to rest.

Liu Xie lay in bed but did not fall asleep.

He was thinking about what happened tonight.

He seemed to be tired of his imperial career, and really hoped that Xi Yu could become this humble master so that all the people could live a good life.

It seems like a good thing to really implement a constitutional monarchy. You can live in a pampered life without worrying about it.
