Seeing this, Jenny hurriedly walked over quickly and said to Xiaohong apologetically: "Don't be angry, I'm sorry. My father is not complaining, but he is just anxious and speaks without hesitation." Jenny's eyes were full of sincerity, and she clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with her hands.

After hearing this, Xiaohong's face calmed down a little, but she still had some anger and snorted coldly.

Xi Yu looked serious and raised his hand to signal them not to say anything else. He said aloud: "Don't argue, I will be responsible for this matter." His eyes were firm, giving people an unquestionable feeling.

Then, Xi Yu turned his head and shouted angrily at the secret guards: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you deal with these soldiers quickly?" His eyes flashed with sharp light and full of majesty.

When the secret guards heard this, they immediately took action and approached the soldiers again. The atmosphere was extremely tense for a moment.

A soldier was full of horror, tears flowing, and tremblingly said, "It's not our business, it's all a mess, we don't want to do this." His eyes were full of begging, and his body kept kowtowing towards Xi Yu.

When Xi Yu heard this, he sneered, and his smile was full of chill. He narrowed his eyes, stabbed the soldier like a sword, and said coldly: "Since that's the case, why don't you resist? Instead, obey him? So, you deserve to die!"

When the soldier heard this, he collapsed on the ground and cried in despair: "Give up your life, we are forced to do so!"

However, Xi Yu was unmoved at all, just looked at him coldly.

Then, the secret guards took their swords and killed all the soldiers mercilessly.

They moved quickly and neatly, and then carried the body away in an orderly manner. The scene was quickly cleaned up, as if nothing had happened.

When the old man saw this, he was still scared and his face was still pale. He walked to Xi Yu tremblingly, bowed deeply, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, my son for helping me, I am very grateful."

Xi Yu raised his head slightly, looked firm and comforted: "Old man, don't be afraid. I will bear the responsibility if something happens."

The old man raised his head and looked at Xi Yu's firm gaze. He felt a little calmer, but he still couldn't hide his worry.

Next, Xi Yu and others continued to eat as if nothing had happened. They looked calm and moved calmly, as if nothing had happened in the bloody killing just now.

The old man and Jenny looked at each other, and their eyes were full of doubt and shock.

The old man secretly thought to himself: "What are these people? After experiencing such a thing, he can still be so calm."

Jenny bit her lip and thought to herself: "They are not surprised by the changes in this way, and they must be extraordinary people, but is it a blessing or a disaster?"

Jenny gently pulled the corner of the old man's clothes and lowered her voice and said, "Dad, I think these people are not simple, we have to be careful."

The old man nodded slightly, but couldn't help but look at Xi Yu and the others again, with awe and a hint of undetectable guard in his eyes.

Xi Yu and others were still eating with a feast, as if nothing had happened.

The old man frowned and called Jenny to the backyard with a worried face. He lowered his voice and said, "The soldiers are dead, and the above will definitely be blamed on us in the future. These people from Central Plains will leave sooner or later."

Jenny raised her eyebrows, put her hands on her hips, and said firmly: "Dad, don't be so afraid of things, after all, the people in the Central Plains are all for our own good."

The old man said tremblingly: "Of course I know, but I'm still a little scared." His eyes were full of fear, and his hands kept rubbing the corners of his clothes.

After a while, Jenny walked out with a serious expression. While stuffing food into her mouth, Xi Yu told Jenny: "Don't be afraid of your father."

Jenny asked: "What the hell are you doing here?"

Xi Yu put down the food in his hand, smiled and said, "I'm here to worship Buddha."

Xi Yu smiled confidently and said to the old man firmly: "We will go to the Kushan Palace first, meet the king directly, and tell the whole story of today." His eyes revealed a sense of firmness and courage.

Xi Yu and others finished the meal with satisfaction and put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands.

Xi Yu touched his stomach, showed a satisfied smile, then raised his head, looked at the old man with a firm look, and said, "Let's go to the Kushan Palace first, meet the king directly, and tell the whole story of today." His voice was calm and powerful, revealing a sense of confidence.

When the old man heard this, he showed a look of surprise on his face, his brows frowned slightly, and he said worriedly: "The palace is not a place that ordinary people can enter at will. If you go there rashly like this, you may encounter a lot of trouble." There was a hint of doubt and worry in his voice.

Seeing this, Xi Yu smiled slightly, patted the old man on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't worry, we have our own way."

His expression was relaxed and seemed to be full of confidence in his plan.

The old man looked at Xi Yu's firm expression and his concerns did not ease. He hesitated for a moment, but could not help but remind him again: "The palace is very cautious, you must act carefully." Concern appeared in his eyes.

Xi Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, we will pay attention."

After saying that, he turned around and took the others towards the direction of the palace.

The old man looked at their far away backs and couldn't help feeling helpless and worried.

The old man stood at the door, staring at Xi Yu and others riding a horse and moving away gradually. The worries on his face did not diminish at all, and his heart was still unconscious.

He frowned, his lips trembled slightly, and he murmured to himself: "What should we do? The death of those soldiers will probably lead to our store."

Seeing this, Jenny, who was standing beside him, quickly walked to the old man, patted his shoulder gently, and comforted him, "Dad, don't worry like this. If there weren't those people in the Central Plains, our losses would have been even greater today. Even if we checked it from above, what's scary? If there is anything, I will bear the responsibility of my daughter alone."

The old man just sighed a long time, shook his head slowly, and did not talk to his daughter anymore.

His eyes were filled with helplessness and sorrow, as if he had foreseeed the possible troubles he might face in the future.

Jenny couldn't help feeling a little sad when she looked at her father's worried look, but she forced herself to cheer up and continued to comfort her: "Dad, don't worry, everything will be fine." She held the old man's hand tightly, trying to give him some strength and comfort.

Xi Yu sat upright on the horse's back, with the reins lightly raised, and the horse was moving forward with its hooves.

Ouyang Linlin turned to look at him, looked puzzled, and asked softly: "Do we really want to go directly to the palace?"

Song Shuwen interrupted, "It's better to go and worship Buddha first, so that you can satisfy Mrs. Ouyang's wishes." His tone was filled with a hint of negotiation.

Xi Yu shook his head decisively and said firmly: "No, go to the palace first. You must explain what happened today clearly. Otherwise, the old man in the inn will be in trouble." His voice revealed a sense of firmness and responsibility.

Ouyang Linlin and Song Shuwen looked at each other, as if thinking about Xi Yu's words.

Xi Yu held the reins tightly and continued to ride his horse forward. He made up his mind to handle this matter properly.

While urging the horse, Xi Yu turned his head to the people behind him and said, "But this border is indeed a bit far from the palace, and it may take several days for us to reach it. But don't be discouraged. Think about it, even if you go to worship Buddha, the largest temple is also near the palace. We have to pass there sooner or later."

Ouyang Linlin nodded slightly, and the worry on her face slightly eased.

Song Shuwen also echoed: "That's right, the Prime Minister is right. Since that's the case, let's go with peace of mind." His tone was a little relieved.

Xi Yu looked at them with a smile, a trace of confidence flashed in his eyes. He continued, "As long as we maintain our confidence, we will definitely be able to reach the palace smoothly."

After saying that, he swung his whip and accelerated, leading everyone to the distant palace.

In that dark cave, Zhao Yun leaned against the stone wall and tried to move his body, but found that he could not move.

His brows frowned tightly, and a hint of anxiety and confusion appeared on his face.

A moment later, a figure walked in.

Zhao Yun looked closely and saw that the visitor was a woman, but she was born like a man, tall and strong.

Zhao Yun showed vigilance in his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Who are you?" Although his body could not move, his eyes were still sharp.

The woman looked at him coldly and said lightly: "Just stay honestly for me." Her voice was silent, as if she didn't care about Zhao Yun's question.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but sank. He stared at the woman, trying to see some clues from her expression. There was both doubt and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The woman seemed to notice Zhao Yun's thoughts. She frowned slightly and said impatiently: "Don't bother. You are powerless to resist now, so save some effort." After that, she turned around and walked aside, ignoring Zhao Yun.

Although Zhao Yun was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to listen to the woman's words for the time being. He secretly thought about how to get rid of the predicament in front of him.

Zhao Yun immediately said loudly: "We all have treasures, but unfortunately we were kidnapped by others halfway, so it is impossible for you to obtain any fetal treasure from us!" His voice was filled with a little anger and unwillingness.

When the woman heard this, she sneered, and her eyes revealed contempt, "Hmph, our master doesn't have such an idea. What he wants is yours!" Her tone was cold and chilling.

After hearing this, Zhao Yun was shocked. His eyes were rounded, his face was full of astonishment, and his mouth slightly opened, as if he was incredible.

He looked straight at the woman, and asked with a trembling voice: "Why? I have never met your master, why did he want my people?" At this moment, his heart was filled with confusion and fear.

The woman's mouth raised slightly, with a disdainful smile on her face, and replied coldly: "This is not what you should know." After that, she turned around and left, leaving Zhao Yun in deep anxiety in place.

It took a while.

The woman walked in with the food. She put the food in front of Zhao Yun and told Zhao Yun calmly: "In a few hours, you will be able to move freely. But don't want to leave here, that's impossible." Her eyes were cold and there was no emotion at all.

Zhao Yun tried to move his body and was surprised to find that his arms could still move.

He was already hungry and didn't care about anything else, so he immediately started to eat it voraciously.

He was extremely eager to eat, as if he was racing against time. Every bite of food was swallowed quickly by him, and his mouth kept chewing, and he didn't even have time to taste the taste.

The woman looked at Zhao Yun like this, her mouth raised slightly, and she showed a faint smile.

A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, as if she was mocking Zhao Yun's embarrassment.

Zhao Yun was completely immersed in the delicious food and did not notice the woman's expression at all.

At this moment, he just wanted to fill his stomach, restore his energy, and deal with what might happen next.

After dinner, Zhao Yun felt that his physical strength had recovered a little.

He raised his head, looked at the woman, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your meal. However, I still want to know who your master is and why should I lock me up here?"

The woman looked at him coldly and said lightly: "You don't need to know too much. When you can move freely, the master will naturally come to see you." After that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Zhao Yun hurriedly called her, "Wait, can you give me some more water? I'm so thirsty." His throat was a little dry because of the voracious swallowing just now.

The woman stopped, looked back at him, frowned, but she still picked up the kettle next to her, poured some water and handed it to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun took the water and started drinking it in big mouthfuls. After drinking, he wiped his mouth and continued to ask: "Can you tell me where is this place?"

The woman replied impatiently: "What's the use of asking so many questions? When the master comes, you will know naturally." After that, she ignored Zhao Yun and walked out of the cave.

Zhao Yun looked at her leaving back, and his heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness. He didn't know what he would face next, but he decided to recover his strength first and then find a way to deal with it.

He moved his body for a while and felt his physical strength gradually recovered. He secretly prayed, hoping to survive the crisis in peace.

Deep in the Kushan Palace, Chachatu was still immersed in the joy of his concubines.

He leaned against the gorgeous throne, with a satisfied smile on his face and a blurred look on his eyes, completely ignoring the tense battle situation outside.
