However, at this moment, the woman suddenly quickly took out a dagger from her clothes and stabbed Xi Yu suddenly.

Xi Yu was quick-witted and he turned sideways and avoided the woman's attack.

He grabbed the woman's wrist and grabbed the dagger with force.

The woman struggled, and a trace of despair flashed in her eyes.

Xi Yu grabbed the woman's wrist tightly, and his eyes became stern.

"Who are you? Why do you want to assassinate me?" Xi Yu asked.

Just as Xi Yu was thinking about how to deal with the female assassin, he suddenly heard a strange movement from the yard.

He raised his head alertly and glanced across the grass outside the window.

I saw a figure vaguely in the grass holding a bow and arrow, aiming at the direction of Xi Yu. The arrow flashed in the sun with a cold light, as if it was about to shoot at Xi Yu at any time.

Just as the arrow was about to shoot out, the dark guard appeared like a ghost.

He held a bench in his hand and quickly stood in front of Xi Yu.

With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow shot on the bench.

The secret guard did not stop, and he rushed into the grass, trying to catch the archer hidden in it.

There was a commotion in the grass. The figure noticed that he was discovered and immediately turned around and ran away.

However, before he could run a few steps, he was surrounded by secret guards.

The secret guard was quick and threw the figure to the ground and controlled him.

The secret guard brought the figure to Xi Yu. Xi Yu looked closely and couldn't help but sneer.

It turned out that the person who shot the archery was actually the butler.

Xi Yu looked at the butler, and a trace of contempt and anger flashed in his eyes.

"Butler, why do you want to assassinate me?" Xi Yu asked.

The butler lowered his head and said nothing.

"Do you think your plan is perfect? ​​Actually, I knew you were in the same group as this woman." Xi Yu said.

Xi Yu looked at the butler and the girl and sneered.

"Butler, you are so brave. You dare to conspire with this girl to assassinate me." Xi Yu said.

"King, how did you know that we were together?" the butler asked in surprise.

"First of all, if you want to release a female prisoner, why come and ask me for instructions? Secondly, when you arrive in the prison cell, you did not introduce your identity. This woman directly called the king, obviously she has been training for a long time. Another thing is that I have secret guards, so you dare to provoke me, which is really too bold." Xi Yu said.

The housekeeper and the girl heard this and looked at each other. They didn't expect that their plans would be so loopholes.

"King, spare your life! We will never dare to do it again!" the girl said quickly.

Xi Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "Your behavior is so stupid. Do you think you can kill me like this? You are too naive."

"After all, I am loyal to Cao Pi. If you want to kill or cut, you can do whatever you want." said the housekeeper.

Xi Yu looked at the woman.

"Say, what is the relationship between you two?"

"I am his niece from afar."

Xi Yu said: "You want to use my kindness and kindness to achieve your goals. But you are wrong, and I will not let you succeed."

"Sir, what are you going to deal with us?" asked the butler.

"Master, please spare us! We have family, we don't want to die!" the woman said crying.

"Take them down and lock them up." Xi Yu ordered.

The secret guard nodded and took the housekeeper and the woman away.

Xi Yu sat on a chair.

Although he particularly hated the housekeeper and this woman.

But they dare not refuse to admit that they are still very loyal to Cao Pi.

On the other side, Liu Xie rode his horse and continued to move forward. The sun shone through the gaps of the leaves on the road, forming spots of light.

The sound of horse hooves echoed in the quiet air, breaking the tranquility.

As he walked, Liu Xie came to a bridge. He suddenly heard a burst of crying and couldn't help but feel nervous.

He looked in the sound and saw a woman sitting by the bridge, tears kept flowing.

Liu Xie got off the horse, walked to the woman, and asked softly: "Sister-in-law, why are you crying here?"

The woman looked up, her eyes filled with sadness and helplessness.

She looked at Liu Xie and cried and said, "There are people who want to buy Lucai on the road ahead. When my son and I passed by, they injured my son without paying the money. Now my son is still lying in the clinic in front. The world is simply too uneasy. How can we ordinary people live!"

Hearing this, Liu Xie felt very painful. He did not expect that the people would live so badly that they could not even guarantee the most basic safety.

Liu Xie frowned and said angrily: "These people are so hateful. They dare to commit crimes in broad daylight."

The woman just cried, and even if she talked to Liu Xie, what could she do?

Liu Xie really has no choice. He is now alone.

After hearing the woman's words, Liu Xie did not dare to move forward.

He decided to leave.

He also knew that he was so cowardly, but he really didn't have the courage.

He immediately let the horse turn around and leave.

The woman then laughed at him.

Liu Xie ran all the way, his heart pounding, as if he was about to jump out of his throat.

He didn't look back, but just waved the whip desperately to make the horse run faster.

The sound of horse hooves echoed on the quiet road, breaking the tranquility.

Liu Xie was breathing rapidly, and he felt his lungs explode.

But Liu Xie suddenly thought of a question. The woman said that his son was lying in the clinic. So what about her? Why not accompany her?

Are you cheating on yourself?

But there is no reason for others to deceive themselves.

Forget it, let’s go back to the old man’s house first.

Finally, Liu Xie returned to the old man's home. He jumped off the horse, gasped, and held the door frame with his hands to prevent himself from falling.

However, there is no one in the family.

So Liu Xie had to inquire about his neighbors.

At the neighbor's house, with Liu Xie's arrival, the dog barked.

An old woman walked out of the house and was on a cane.

"Old aunt, don't know where the uncle next door went? Do you know?"

The old woman looked at him.

"Who are you?"

Liu Xie told me about the stay here yesterday.

"So that's the case. I don't know where he went, but I can ask my son to search for it."

The old woman then looked inside and called her son out.

A young man with beautiful eyebrows and eyes walked out and wore a coarse cloth dress.

The old woman asked him to find his neighbor's uncle.

The young man smiled at Liu Xie.

"I'll go find it, you'd better go to the door of my uncle's house, otherwise my dog ​​will keep biting it."

Liu Xie bowed to him.

"That's how it's going to be done."

Liu Xie immediately returned to the old man's room and waited.

The young man worked a lot of trouble and finally saw the old man smoking a dry tobacco under a tree.

At the same time, there were several old men enjoying the cool air.

The young man told the old man that someone was looking for it.

"Erzhuzi, who is looking for me?"

"It was said that I stayed here last night."
