Ouyang Lian galloped over on a horse.

His face was flushed and panting, he came to Xi Yu and hurriedly shouted: "Prime Minister!"

Xi Yu looked at Ouyang Lian with confusion in his eyes and asked, "Governor Ouyang, why have you caught up with me?"

Ouyang Lian tried hard to calm his breath and said with regretful expression: "Prime Minister, I am too confused. The Prime Minister finally did it once, but I actually forgot the most important thing."

Xi Yu raised his chin slightly and asked, "What's going on?" A hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

Ouyang Lian's face was full of anxiety and worry. He said: "Prime Minister, Fang County has a remote small county town. The geographical conditions are extremely poor and it is impossible to grow a lot of food. The people live a very poor life."

Xi Yu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and take me to see."

When Ouyang Lian heard this, he was extremely excited. He widened his eyes and said, "Prime Minister, I just said it casually. I didn't expect you to care so much."

Xi Yu glanced at Ouyang Lian and said, "The suffering of the people cannot be ignored. Since you know, you naturally have to go and find a way to solve it."

Ouyang nodded repeatedly, and his admiration for Xi Yu even more.

He immediately turned his horse's head and led the way in front, leading Xi Yu towards the remote small county town.

Along the way, Ouyang Lian was both nervous and excited. He knew very well that the arrival of the prime minister might bring new hope to those poor people.

The two rode their horses and walked on the winding road.

The road is rugged and some sections are really difficult to walk on. The horse's hooves stumble on the stone from time to time, raising some dust.

Ouyang Lian said apologetically: "Prime Minister, this road is not easy to walk, and you are burdened. That place is too remote and I didn't expect it to be so difficult."

Xi Yu shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay, for the sake of the people, this hard work is nothing."

Ouyang Lian was moved and continued, "It is a blessing for the people who are so concerned about the people."

Xi Yu smiled and said, "As an official, the people should be the most important. Let's talk about the situation in that small county."

Ouyang Lian began to introduce in detail the geographical environment of the small county town, the living conditions of the people and the difficulties they faced. Xi Yu listened carefully and asked some questions from time to time. The two of them rode horses and chatted all the way. Although the atmosphere was a bit solemn, it was full of hope.

As night fell, starry light flashed in the sky. After a long ride, Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian finally arrived at the remote Zhuping Town.

The town seemed particularly quiet in the night, with only a few faint lights flashing.

Xi Yu looked at the tired Ouyang Lian and said, "Find a place to rest first, and let's talk about other things tomorrow." His voice seemed calm and powerful in the night wind.

Ouyang Lian nodded and said, "Okay, Prime Minister. Thank you for your hard work all the way."

They led their horses and walked slowly along the streets of the town.

The air at night was a little cold, and the sound of horse hooves echoed on the quiet streets.

Finally, they found a simple inn.

When the inn owner saw a guest coming, he hurriedly welcomed him warmly.

Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian handed the horse to the innkeeper and walked into the inn.

Although the room is simple, it is clean and tidy.

Xi Yu sat by the bed, closed his eyes slightly, thinking about tomorrow's itinerary.

Ouyang Lianze was tidying up his luggage, thinking in his mind how to better introduce the situation of the town to the prime minister.

As the night gradually deepened, the town fell into silence.

Xi Yu and Ouyang Lian gradually fell asleep in fatigue, waiting for tomorrow to come.

The inn owner squinted his eyes and peered into the small holes in the window paper.

In the room, Xi Yu and Ouyang Lianzheng fell asleep quietly, and their figures seemed blurred under the dim light.

A greed surged in the boss's heart. He believed that these two people were extraordinary and must be rich.

He held the bamboo tube in his hand tightly and prepared to blow air into the room.

He knew that as long as the drug worked, the property of these two rich people would belong to him.

His hands were trembling slightly, both nervous and excited.

He carefully put the bamboo tube closer to the small hole in the window paper and prepared to blow the air.

The boss's heart beats very fast.

He imagined the wealth he was about to obtain, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

The inn owner was concentrating on his mind, his heart full of excitement about to succeed.

However, he did not notice that the danger behind him was approaching quietly.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed like lightning, and the dark guard appeared instantly.

His movements were quick and decisive, and he quickly covered the innkeeper's mouth with one hand, stopping his possible exclamation.

The other hand grabbed the boss's arm tightly, twisted it hard, and controlled him.

The inn owner widened his eyes in horror. He struggled desperately, but in the face of the powerful power of the secret guards, his struggle seemed so powerless.

The secret guard had no expression on his face and cold eyes. He quickly took the inn owner out of the room to prevent him from disturbing the prime minister's rest.

The secret guard took the innkeeper to a remote corner and threw him heavily to the ground.

The boss was so scared that he shivered and his face was pale.

The secret guard looked at him from a high place and said in a cold voice: "You are so brave, you dare to attack the Prime Minister."

When the inn owner heard this, he almost fainted.

He never expected that the Prime Minister was the one who robbed him.

He knelt down and begged for mercy, kowtowed and said, "Sir, please spare me, the young man, I don't know Mount Tai. Please spare me this time."

The morning sun shone into the room through the window. Xi Yu and Ouyang Lianyouyou woke up. They really didn't know that a crisis had quietly come last night.

At this time, the secret guard appeared in front of Xi Yu, with a serious expression. He lowered his head slightly and said respectfully: "Prime Minister, the inn boss's plot against him last night."

Xi Yu was slightly stunned, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. "What's going on?"

The secret guard told the innkeeper in detail what he did.

After hearing this, Xi Yu's face turned gloomy.

Ouyang Lian was also full of anger on the side. He said angrily: "This boss is so bold."

Xi Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "Bring the boss."

The secret guard took the order and left, and soon, he brought the inn owner to Xi Yu.

The boss was so scared that he was trembling all over and his face was pale. He knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly to mercy: "Prime Minister, please spare my life, I'm so confused for a moment, I'm begging the Prime Minister to beg for kindness."

Xi Yu looked at the boss kneeling on the ground with cold eyes.

"Do you know what consequences your actions will bring?" His voice was imposing without anger.

The boss said tremblingly: "The little one knows that he is wrong, but the little one will never dare to do it again. Please spare the little one this time."

Xi Yu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "I have not succeeded yet, and I will be the first offender. I will give you a break for the time being. But if there is another time, I will definitely give you aside."

The boss was like an amnesty and thanked him repeatedly.

Xi Yu waved his hand and asked him to retreat.

The inn owner lowered his head and said with shame: "Sir, the shop is really deserted and is about to close. It's because this town is too poor, so the young ones came up with this bad strategy, and the young ones knew they were wrong."

Xi Yu frowned slightly, looked at the inn owner and said, "I came here this time to solve the poverty problem here."

When the inn owner heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. He looked at Xi Yu in disbelief, then quickly knelt down and said excitedly: "Thank you, Prime Minister! Prime Minister is really our savior!"

Ouyang Lian was watching the inn owner's reaction from the side, and felt a lot of emotion.
