Guan Yu looked at the thief's back as he fled in a hurry and sneered in his heart: "Hmph, you have to pay a price to steal things."

After saying that, Guan Yu rushed forward and beat the thief with a sharp blow.

The thief was beaten so hard that he begged for mercy: "Good man, please spare me! Good man, please spare me! I will never dare to do it again."

The movement here quickly woke Liu Bei up.

Liu Bei quickly walked into the yard wearing clothes. Seeing Guan Yu beating someone, he hurriedly asked, "Chang Yun, what's going on?"

Guan Yu stopped the movement in his hand and said angrily: "Brother, this person is a thief who came to steal things. How can I let him go easily?"

Liu Bei frowned slightly, looked at the trembling thief on the ground, thought for a moment and said, "Chang Yun, let's stop first. Now we should be based on benevolence. Although this little thief is hateful, he doesn't have to take such a heavy hand. Let's ask him why he steals. If there is any difficulty, we can help him."

Guan Yu was still angry when he heard Liu Bei's words, but he was not easy to disobey. He had to stand aside and glar at the thief.

In the yard, the thief was full of horror and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy. His voice trembled, "Two heroes, please spare me! I really had no choice. I had an old mother to support me. This year I encountered a natural disaster and had no choice but to do this stealing thing." As he said, he kept kowtowing, his eyes full of prayers.

Liu Bei frowned slightly, with a hint of pity in his expression, and asked, "What you said is the truth?"

The thief raised his head and said anxiously: "Hero, the young man dare not lie. If there is a lie, it will be struck by lightning."

Guan Yu stood aside, his face full of anger, his eyes wide open, his hands were wide open, and he snorted coldly: "Brother, there is no need to pity him. These thieves all lied to be good people, but is this really the case? Who knows if he is lying?"

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu, then at the thief, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Liu Bei said slowly: "The clouds are long, so you can't generalize them."

Liu Bei looked at the thief and said earnestly: "Although I make a living by selling some straw sandals, I can only eat and drink by myself, and I am not a rich man. It is really a mistake for you to come here to steal things today. But since you are here, I will stay here tonight. I will go to your house tomorrow. If the situation is true, I am willing to fund some."

The thief never expected Liu Bei to be so kind, and then kowtowed immediately like pounding garlic and said excitedly: "A good man is very kind and great, but the little man is unforgettable. The little man is called Zhao Qiang. Thank you, the hero, thank you!"

Liu Bei nodded slightly and asked gently: "Your name is Zhao Qiang? Well, there is an empty place in the woodshed. If you don't dislike it, just live here."

Zhao Qiang responded quickly: "It's totally OK, it's totally OK. I'm so grateful." After saying that, he quickly stood up and hurried to the woodshed, his heart full of gratitude for Liu Bei and a glimmer of hope for the future.

After returning to the room, Guan Yu frowned and blamed: "Brother, you are so kind. How can you let such a little thief go easily? What if he cheats again?"

Liu Bei smiled slightly and said calmly: "The clouds are long, it is not easy for everyone. If what he said is true, why don't we help him?"

Guan Yu stopped, sighed slightly, and said, "Since that's the case, I will take Zhao Qiang to the house tomorrow. I want to see if what he said is true or false."

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu, nodded, and said, "Okay, it's always right for Yun Chang to be more cautious. If there is any situation, come back in time to inform me."

The next morning, Xi Yu got up early.

He came to the wellhead and many servants around him felt very surprised to see him, after all, they didn't know him at all.

However, seeing Xi Yu's extraordinary demeanor, everyone thought that it must be the guest attracted by his wife.

Xi Yu stood by the wellhead and shouted to Linglong below: "Do you want to come up?"

Last night, Linglong struggled underground, but in the end it was useless. Later, she simply gave up and slept there for a night of sleep.

At this moment, when Linglong woke up from her sleep when she heard Xi Yu's shouting, she felt very cold all over.

She looked up at the wellhead, her eyes full of anger and reluctance, and responded loudly: "Don't be proud, sooner or later someone will come to save me."

Xi Yu just smiled coldly and said, "Hmph, don't have hope, reflect on what you did in this well."

Linglong, who was underground, bit her lip and shouted at Xi Yu from the inside, "What the hell are you going to do?"

Xi Yu hugged his hands in front of his chest and said with a cold expression: "Of course I'm asking you to tell the truth. Are you Princess Anxi?"

Linglong's eyes flashed, and she quickly considered the pros and cons in her heart. After a moment, she asked, "Can I go up by myself after telling the truth?"

Xi Yu said confidently: "Of course."

Linglong had no choice but to admit, knowing that she had no choice but to admit, "Yes, I am."

Xi Yu's lips raised slightly, and a victory smile appeared, and said, "I would have said that earlier. Since that's the case, I'll let someone take the ladder."

After Xi Yu ordered someone to take the ladder, the people looked at each other, full of doubts.

They didn't know Xi Yu, and they were very surprised by the person who suddenly appeared and ordered them.

One of the servants plucked up his courage and asked, "Who are you? Why did you order us?"

Xi Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Your wife fell into the well. Wouldn't you save me?"

When the servants heard this, they were shocked.

They never expected that the wife would fall into the well and act in a panic.

Some went to find a suitable ladder, while others followed Xi Yu to the well.

Everyone gathered around the wellhead, looking at the bottomless darkness, and their hearts were filled with worry.

They didn't know how their wife was in the hole, so they just hoped to rescue her as soon as possible.

Xi Yu stood aside with a complicated expression.

Although he successfully forced Linglong to admit his identity, he couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment. After all, he didn't want to really let Linglong have any accidents underground.

As time passed, the servant who took the ladder finally rushed back panting, and a tense rescue operation was about to begin.

With the help of Xi Yu and his subordinates, Linglong was finally rescued from the well.

When the servants saw Linglong's embarrassed look, they were all silent, and no one dared to ask what was going on. They were full of doubts and uneasiness, and at the same time they were wondering where Xu Dabao went.

Xi Yu accompanied Linglong back to the room, and both of them remained silent along the way.

Linglong was full of resentment, but she had no way to attack.

After a while, the villagers in the yard began to talk.

"Who is that stranger?"

"Is it because the lady has found a new favorite?"

Various speculations spread among the crowd. They looked at Linglong's room curiously, trying to find some answers from the closed door.

When she returned to the room, Linglong's eyes were like fire erupting, she glared at Xi Yu and asked sternly: "Who are you?"

Xi Yu looked calm and said coldly: "Now you are not qualified to ask me questions, I am the only one who asks you."

Linglong was so angry that she trembled all over, but she was helpless.

She knew very well that she was currently at a disadvantage and could only suppress the anger in her heart.

Then, under the strong pressure of Xi Yu, Linglong had to continue confessing.

Her eyes showed pain and helplessness, and she said slowly: "I am indeed a princess. A coup occurred in Anxu Kingdom. My father, the old king, was killed by my cousin. I escaped by chance and fled to the Han Kingdom. I originally wanted to seek help from the Han Dynasty, but in the end I failed to do it. The current king, my cousin, planned to usurp the throne, and his name was Hesheli. Although he claimed on the surface that he wanted me to go back, he actually wanted to murder me."
