Chapter 673 There is another treasure(1/2)
Xi Yu gently pushed open the office door and saw the boss bent over and wiping the table seriously.
He walked forward, with a look of concern on his face, and asked, "Brother, have you sobered up?"
The boss straightened up, turned his head to look at Xi Yu, with a slightly tired smile on his face, and said, "Although I was so drunk last night, I can still remember your persuasion to me."
Xi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and said, "Then have you really figured it out?"
The boss patted Yu Yu's shoulder, his eyes firmly, and said sincerely: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to think about it. After experiencing this, I also understood a lot."
Xi Yu's face showed a gratitude and said, "Brother, it would be great that you could think like this. I have always believed that you can overcome this hurdle."
The morning sun shines in the inn, and Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu are having breakfast quietly.
At this time, a haggard woman stumbled into the inn.
Her eyes were red and swollen, tears kept sliding down her cheeks, and she cried.
When the man sitting at the table saw her, he suddenly glared, stood up suddenly, pointed at her and cursed: "Didn't you, a woman, leave me resolutely? Why did you enter here?"
His face turned red, and his forehead was filled with blue veins, so angry that he seemed to eat people.
Xi Yu put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, looked at the two of them curiously, and then suddenly realized it and said to Tuoba Yu in a low voice: "So this is the woman who left the man."
Tuoba Yu frowned, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
The woman cried even more sadly, and she choked and said, "I...I have nowhere to go."
The man snorted coldly, his face full of disdain and anger: "Hmph, I left so firmly at the time, but now I know how to come back to find me?"
The woman wiped her tears with her sleeve, and said in a trembling voice: "I know I was wrong. The days outside are so hard."
The man hugged his hands in front of his chest, looked at her coldly, and said, "Do you think this is the place where you can come and go whenever you want?" His eyes were filled with resentment and determination.
Xi Yu couldn't help but stand up and said, "Brother, don't be so angry, let me hear what my sister-in-law said."
The man glared at Xi Yu and shouted: "This is my family business, it's not your turn to interfere!"
Tuoba Yu also came over and persuaded: "Everyone is calm and solve the problem well."
The woman looked at the man pitifully and begged: "I really know I'm wrong. I will live a good life with you in the future. Please give me another chance."
The man's face calmed down a little, but he still turned his head away and did not look at the woman.
The woman slowly came to the man, with a hint of prayer and expectation in her eyes.
She tiptoed slightly, put her lips gently next to the man's ear, and said a few words softly.
After hearing this, the man was stunned at first, his face full of surprise and disbelief. He turned his head and stared at the woman, and asked anxiously: "Is it true?"
The woman nodded heavily, her eyes full of determination.
The man frowned, his eyes tightly locked the woman's eyes, and said sternly: "It's better not to deceive me, otherwise I will never forgive you again."
Soon, Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu finished their meal and the two hurriedly left the inn.
After walking a few steps, a black shadow suddenly flashed out from the side and blocked them.
Xi Yu frowned, his face full of anger, and he shouted: "Random! Why did he appear without my permission?"
The secret guard knelt on one knee, looked nervous, and hurriedly said, "The Prime Minister calms down. There is really a big deal. The young man has to show up."
Xi Yu asked suspiciously with his hands on his chest, "Why are you so panicked?"
The secret guard lowered his voice and said, "The little one just overheard what the woman said to the man."
Xi Yu's eyes sterned and asked anxiously: "Speak quickly, what did they say?"
The secret guard swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "Master, the woman told the man that the reason why she betrayed her husband and other men was for a treasure. She deliberately did this to cover the man's words. Now she has learned that the treasure is on the top of Qixing Mountain."
Xi Yu widened his eyes, his face full of shock, and said in disbelief: "What happened?"
Tuoba Yu was also surprised and frowned.
Xi Yu stared at the secret guard with sharp eyes and asked, "Are you sure you listened to it?"
The secret guard nodded quickly and said confidently: "Master, I heard it very clearly, and there was no mistake at all."
Xi Yu pondered for a moment, his face became solemn, and he said, "This matter is not trivial, don't make any statement for now."
When the secret guard heard this, he immediately bowed his head respectfully and replied: "Yes, Master!" Then he quickly retreated and disappeared into the shadow.
Xi Yu turned to look at Tuoba Yu, with a serious expression and said, "As early as a few decades ago, the court had a rule that if anyone among the people discovers a treasure, it must belong to the court and cannot possess it themselves, so I must interfere."
Tuoba Yu nodded slightly, with understanding in his eyes and said, "I understand that this is a matter of national law and should not be underestimated."
Xi Yu frowned, his eyes full of firmness, and said, "Yes, if they embezzle the treasure, it will not only violate national laws, but may also cause many disasters."
Tuoba Yu bit his lip and said worriedly: "But this matter may not be so easy, we need to be careful."
Xi Yu comforted: "Don't be afraid, as long as we follow the national laws, we will be able to handle it properly."
Tuoba Yu looked at Xi Yu, with a question in his eyes, and asked anxiously: "Husband, are we going to Qixing Mountain next?"
Xi Yu nodded without hesitation and responded firmly: "Yes, you must go."
Tuoba Yu took a deep breath and said, "Then we have to find out where this Qixing Mountain is."
Xi Yu looked around and his eyes fell on a small vendor on the street, saying, "Let's go and ask him first."
The two of them quickly walked to the vendor, and Xi Yu spoke politely: "Brother, do you know where Qixing Mountain is?"
The vendor raised his head, looked them up and down, scratched his head and said, "I have heard of Qixing Mountain, but the specific location is really not clear. You can go and ask the inn shopkeeper over there, he has traveled around the world, maybe you know."
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu looked at each other, thanked the vendor, and walked towards the inn.
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu hurried to the inn. Xi Yu asked the shopkeeper with anticipation, "Shopkeeper, please tell us where Qixing Mountain is?"
The shopkeeper stopped the action of fiddling the abacus in his hand, raised his head, squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "Qianxing Mountain, that place is not easy to find. It is dozens of miles southwest of the city. Moreover, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk."
Tuoba Yu looked embarrassed and said, "Do many miles? Is there a shortcut?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "There is no shortcut, but if you ride a horse, you can be faster."
Xi Yu bowed and thanked: "Thank you for your advice from the shopkeeper."
The two left the inn, rode their horses and rushed to Qixing Mountain.
Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu quickly found the horse, turned over the horse, and prepared to set off.
Tuoba Yu tightened the reins, looked ahead, and said, "Xi Yu, I don't know what I will encounter when I go to Qixing Mountain. We have to be careful."
Xi Yu looked firm and said, "Don't worry, no matter what, we must complete our mission."
Along the way, the two of them whipped up.
As the dust was flying, Tuoba Yu's hair was blew up by the wind. She shouted: "Husband, can you arrive before dark at our speed?"
Xi Yu replied, "Try to do it. If you can't get there, you can only find a place to rest on the way."
As the evening approached, the two were still rushing, Tuoba Yu's face was full of fatigue, and she said, "Husband, I feel that the horse is tired too, why don't you find a place to rest first?"
Xi Yu looked around, pointed to a dilapidated temple not far away, and said, "Then go to the dilapidated temple for a night first, and continue on the road tomorrow."
The two of them came to the dilapidated temple and tied up the horses. Tuoba Yu found a clean place to sit down.
Xi Yu walked to the door, looked at the darkening sky, and said, "No matter what, you must not let the treasure fall into the hands of illegal people."
The night fell completely, and the dilapidated temple seemed gloomy and terrifying. Tuoba Yu leaned against Xi Yu unconsciously, and said in a trembling voice: "Husband, this place feels gloomy, there will be nothing unclean, right?"
Xi Yu comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." He picked up some dry firewood and started a fire.
As the fire was leaping, Tuoba Yu's face looked a little better.
She said softly: "I don't know what will be waiting for us when we arrive at Qixing Mountain in a while."
Xi Yu added some fire to the fire and said thoughtfully: "No matter what it is, we have to deal with it. As long as we work together, there is nothing scary."
Tuoba Yu nodded and hugged his arms tightly.
After a while, Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu cleaned up briefly and set off again.
Half an hour later, I saw a strangely shaped mountain range from afar. Tuoba Yu shouted excitedly: "Husband, look, is that Qixing Mountain?"
Xi Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at it, saying, "It should be. Let's speed up."
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the two got off their horses and looked at the steep mountain peak. Xi Yu said, "It seems that the road on this mountain is not easy to walk, so let's be careful."
Tuoba Yu said, "Well, you go ahead and I'll follow you."
They climbed up the rugged mountain road, and suddenly, a wild boar rushed out of the woods next to them.
Tuoba Yu's eyes instantly became firm. She held the dagger in her hand tightly, took a step towards the wild boar, and said loudly: "Husband, you hide aside, I'll deal with this beast!"
Xi Yu looked worried and shouted, "Yu'er, be careful! This wild boar is very ferocious!"
Tuoba Yu gritted his teeth, stared at the wild boar, and said sternly: "Don't worry about me, just take good care of yourself!"
At this time, Tuoba Yu had his eyebrows raised and fine beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead, but he had no intention of retreating.
The wild boar roared at Tuoba Yu in a low voice. Tuoba Yu was not afraid at all, but instead roared: "Come on, beast! Look at me not dealing with you today!"
The wild boar was angry with Tuoba Yu's momentum and rushed towards her.
Tuoba Yu flashed sideways and flexibly avoided the wild boar's attack. At the same time, the dagger in his hand quickly swung out, making a shallow hole on the wild boar's body.
