Chapter 713 Saving Zhao Yun

A group of soldiers quickly came to the cave where Madam Huayue was, and the bandits at the entrance of the cave immediately shouted vigilantly: "Who is it?"

Zhou Yu walked in front with a tense face. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cunning flashed in his eyes. He said loudly: "It's me, Zhou Yu! What do you mean by catching my enemy Zhao Yun here? Humph, I must watch him die in person! And Madam Huayue has been controlled by me!"

When saying these words, Zhou Yu seemed to be angry, but he secretly prayed in his heart not to be discovered.

The bandits were all shocked and showed astonishment on their faces.

Zhou Yu thought silently in his heart: Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun, you must not be in trouble. I have no choice but to come up with this last resort to save you.

He tried to maintain his anger on the surface, and at the same time, he used his eyes to quietly observe the situation around him, ready to deal with possible changes at any time.

When the gatekeepers heard Zhou Yu say that Madam Huayue was captured, they were stunned at first, and then their faces showed a mixture of astonishment and anger.

"What? Madam Huayue was captured? Impossible!" A gatekeeper shouted angrily.

Zhou Yu snorted coldly, said no more, waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed up like a tide.

The bandits guarding the gate also reacted immediately, drew their weapons, and greeted Zhou Yu's soldiers.

The two sides instantly fell into a fierce fight.

The flashing of swords and shadows, the shouting of killing resounded in front of the cave.

Zhou Yu's soldiers were all extremely brave, and the bandits also fought desperately, and it was difficult to separate them for a while.

Zhou Yu stood aside, watching the battle with a grim face, thinking in his heart how to break through this line of defense as soon as possible and rescue Zhao Yun.

In the fierce fight, people were injured and fell to the ground from time to time, but neither side had the slightest intention of retreating, and the battle became more and more intense.

Zhou Yu's eyes were stern, and his figure rushed into the cave as fast as lightning.

The little girl beside Madam Huayue learned that someone had controlled Madam Huayue, and her eyes widened immediately, her face full of pain and anxiety, tears welling up in her eyes.

When she saw Zhou Yu rushing in with his men, she immediately turned around in panic and ran quickly towards where Zhao Yun was.

Zhao Yun had already heard the noise outside at this time. He frowned and wondered what had happened.

The little girl ran to Zhao Yun breathlessly, and said in a trembling voice: "Zhao Yun, the people who rescued you are here, but... but you will die if you don't get the antidote, you... you can do it yourself!" The little girl's face was full of panic and helplessness.

Zhao Yun's heart sank, but his face remained calm. He took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the direction of the cave entrance, waiting for the next development.

Zhou Yu was extremely anxious at this time, and he secretly thought: I must find Zhao Yun as soon as possible, and I can't let him get into trouble! His steps became more and more hurried, and his face was full of determination.

When Zhou Yu and others were rushing in quickly, many bandits suddenly came out to stop them.

In an instant, the two sides fought fiercely again, and the sound of weapons colliding was endless.

Zhao Yun heard the fighting outside, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said to the little girl: "Humph, you see, Madam Huayue must have been controlled, otherwise how could these soldiers come." His eyes were full of ridicule.

The little girl glared at Zhao Yun fiercely, gritted her teeth and said: "Zhao Yun, don't be complacent! Things are not over yet!" The little girl's face was full of unconvinced expression, and she was secretly worried about Madam Huayue.

Zhao Yun snorted lightly, no longer paying attention to the little girl, turned his head and continued to pay attention to the situation outside, thinking about what might happen next.

At this time, Zhou Yu was struggling to fight with the bandits who blocked him, and there was only one thought in his mind, that is, to find Zhao Yun as soon as possible.

The little girl looked at the fierce fight in front of her, her body trembling slightly involuntarily, her eyes full of fear, muttering to herself: "This... What should I do? I have never seen such a scene."

At this moment, Zhao Yun suddenly made a move and grabbed the little girl's neck fiercely. He looked gloomy and gritted his teeth and said: "Hurry up and take out the antidote!"

The little girl's face flushed instantly, and she said with difficulty: "You... You can't do this. I would rather die than surrender!"

And at this tense moment, Zhou Yu rushed in.

When he saw Zhao Yun, he was suddenly happy in his heart, but on the surface he deliberately showed a vicious expression and shouted insults: "Humph, I finally found Zhao Yun, the dog thief! I must see you die today!"

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with complex light, with both excitement about achieving his goal and a trace of imperceptible worry.

The clever Zhao Yun instantly understood Zhou Yu's true intention after hearing his seemingly insulting words.

Zhao Yun immediately followed suit and started to curse: "Zhou Yu, don't be so proud, do you think you can succeed?"

Zhou Yu looked at the little girl coldly and said in a cold voice: "Humph, it's useless to threaten me."

The little girl was stunned when she heard the sudden quarrel between the two people, her face full of disbelief.

She didn't understand why the two people in front of her suddenly became like this. Her eyes moved back and forth between Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu, and her heart was full of doubts and confusion.

At this time, Zhou Yu looked cold and ruthless on the surface, but in his heart he was silently calculating how to deal with it next.

The little girl stood there, her face full of hesitation, she didn't know what to do at all.

Zhou Yu saw this opportunity, rushed forward, grabbed the little girl's neck with lightning speed, and then kicked her to the ground with a sudden force.

The surrounding soldiers immediately surrounded her, trapping the little girl in the middle.

Zhou Yu quickly turned around and asked Zhao Yun with concern: "Are you okay?"

Zhao Yun shook his head and said that he was fine.

The little girl who fell on the ground was full of anger. She shouted insults: "You are indeed colluding!"

Her eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment.

Zhou Yu glanced at the little girl coldly, showed a hint of disdain, and laughed unscrupulously. The laughter echoed in the cave, with a bit of arrogance.

After laughing, his face instantly turned gloomy again, and he smiled coldly.

He looked at the little girl lying on the ground with cold eyes, waved his hand and ordered: "Force her to get the antidote!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately gathered around and stared at the little girl fiercely. They shouted in unison: "Hurry up and hand over the antidote!"

The little girl huddled on the ground, her eyes full of fear, but she still gritted her teeth and said stubbornly: "I won't give it to you!"

When Zhou Yu saw this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly again: "Let's see how long you can keep your mouth shut!" The atmosphere in the cave became increasingly tense and depressing.

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Yu's mouth, and he said sinisterly: "Humph, what this woman cares about most is her appearance. Since she is so stubborn, then let's disfigure this little girl!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers understood and began to prepare.

Some soldiers took out sharp daggers and played with them in their hands. The blades shone with a cold light, as if they couldn't wait to leave a terrifying mark on the little girl's delicate face; some soldiers were gearing up, with a ferocious look in their eyes. look.

The little girl's eyes widened in horror, her body trembled violently, and she hissed: "No! You can't do this to me!" However, her begging for mercy did not make Zhou Yu and others feel the slightest pity.

Zhou Yu clasped his hands on his chest and watched all this coldly, as if he was enjoying a cruel farce that was about to be staged.

At this time, the cave was filled with suffocating fear and despair.

Zhao Yun looked at the little girl with cold eyes and said solemnly: "If you don't want to be like this, then take out the antidote honestly."

Zhou Yu continued on the sidelines: "Huh, Mrs. Huayue is like this too. She was extremely stubborn at first, but when we said we wanted to disfigure her, she obediently told her the address."

The little girl's face was full of panic at this time, and she kept begging for mercy: "Please, don't do this to me. I really don't want to be an enemy of everyone, but I must listen to the lady."

Zhou Yu waved his hands impatiently and shouted to the soldiers: "Don't listen to her nonsense!"

The soldiers immediately stopped what they were doing and stared at the little girl fiercely, as if Zhou Yu would immediately take more cruel actions against her if she gave the order.

The little girl's begging for mercy echoed in the cave, but it could not change the tense and dangerous situation at all.

At this critical moment, the little girl seemed to finally understand the situation. After some inner struggle, she finally changed her mind.

"I...I am willing to hand over the antidote." The little girl said weakly.

When Zhou Yu heard this, he showed a very pleased expression on his face and said with a smile: "Isn't it right to have done this already? As long as you come up with the antidote, you can leave. Isn't this better?"

Zhao Yun added with a serious face: "The antidote this time must be a complete antidote."

The little girl nodded quickly, and then took out the antidote from her sleeves with trembling hands.

At this time, everyone's eyes were fixed on the antidote in the little girl's hand, hoping that this crisis could be resolved.

Zhou Yu took the antidote from the little girl's hand, handed it to Zhao Yun, and motioned for Zhao Yun to take it.

Seeing this, the little girl quickly asked eagerly: "Then...can you let me go now?"

But Zhou Yu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No, I have to confirm that the antidote you give him in a few days is indeed a complete antidote, and that nothing happens to Zhao Yun before I can let you go."

The little girl looked helpless, but in this situation, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree.

At this moment, her heart was full of regret and helplessness, but she could only wait silently for the final result.

After Zhao Yun took the antidote, he looked at Zhou Yu with gratitude and said, "Thank you Gong Jin."

After saying that, Zhao Yun had a wry smile on his face, feeling that he was particularly embarrassed at the moment.

Zhou Yu waved his hand and said softly: "Don't be sad, this is a trivial matter."

Then, with a stern look in his eyes, he ordered: "Someone, tie up this little girl and take her away!"

The soldiers immediately took action and tied up the little girl. Zhou Yu looked around again and said coldly: "Prade this place for me!"

As his order was issued, the soldiers began to take action, and soon the place was razed to the ground.

On the other side, Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin were walking leisurely on the bustling street.

They were already carrying large and small bags in their hands, obviously buying a lot of things.

Xi Yu looked around, then turned to Ouyang Linlin and said softly: "Linlin, we should go back. After all, there may be things waiting for me to deal with in the Central Plains. As a prime minister, I can't hang out outside every day. ah."

Ouyang Linlin nodded slightly, her eyes full of understanding, and said softly: "I understand, then let's leave tomorrow."

Xi Yu nodded, with a smile on his face, and together with Ouyang Linlin, walked slowly towards the place where they lived temporarily.

Their figures were stretched out under the afterglow of the setting sun, like a peaceful and beautiful picture.

Early the next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window lattice.

Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin got up early and packed their bags.

Xi Yu looked at Ouyang Linlin with a trace of reluctance in his eyes, "Linlin, wait until I finish handling the affairs in the Central Plains, and then I will have fun with you."

Ouyang Linlin smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Xi Yu felt that it was time to say goodbye to Jiu Dazhi.

When they came to Jiu Dazhi, Xi Yu cupped his hands and said, "Master, let's say goodbye."

When Jiu Dazhi heard this, he quickly said: "Don't leave in such a hurry. You can stay for a few more days."

Xi Yu smiled and shook his head, and politely declined: "Thank you for your kindness, but I have many other matters and I really can't delay it any longer."

Seeing Xi Yu's resolute attitude, Jiu Dazhi couldn't force him to stay, so he had no choice but to nod.

Then, he personally sent Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin away.

Jiu Dazhi stood at the door, looking at their retreating figures, with a look of reluctance on his face, and a deep feeling of reluctance in his eyes.

It wasn't until their figures completely disappeared from sight that Jiu Dazhi slowly turned around.

Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin got on their horses, flicked the reins, and with the sound of horse hooves, they slowly left the temple.

Speeding all the way, when they were about to reach the border, they unexpectedly found Cao Rui standing there.

Xi Yu was startled and quickly reined in the reins and stepped forward to greet Cao Rui.

Cao Rui smiled and said, "I'm waiting here specifically to wish you a safe journey."

Xi Yu was filled with doubts and couldn't help but ask, "How did you know I was leaving today?"

Cao Rui looked at Xi Yu and said softly: "Xi Yu, I want to have a few words with you alone."

Xiyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

They came to a relatively quiet corner.

Cao Rui took a deep breath and said slowly: "Xi Yu, actually I hated you before."

Xiyu said nothing and listened quietly.

Cao Rui continued: "But now, that kind of hatred seems to have become much calmer. You are about to return to the Central Plains, and we will rarely see each other in the future. For some reason, I actually feel a sense of reluctance in my heart at this moment." Feel."

After Xiyu heard this, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

He looked at Cao Rui and said with emotion: "Life is always full of changes and unexpectedness. Maybe this is the arrangement of fate."

The two of them stood quietly, and for a moment, the atmosphere was subtle and complicated.

The doubts in Xi Yu's heart still didn't dissipate. He couldn't help but ask again: "Cao Rui, I'm still very surprised. Why on earth did you know that I would leave today?"

Cao Rui frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said: "Actually... I can't explain clearly. It's just an intuition, a very strange feeling. It seems that there is such a premonition somewhere."

After Xi Yu heard this, he felt even more incredible. Intuition was too mysterious.

He looked at Cao Rui, trying to find more answers on his face, but Cao Rui's expression was also full of confusion.

"Intuition... this is too difficult to understand." Xi Yu muttered to himself.

Cao Rui smiled helplessly, "I know this sounds ridiculous, but it is the truth. Maybe some things cannot be explained by common sense."

Xi Yu was silent for a while, and finally could only accept this somewhat bizarre statement.

They stood there and talked about other things.

Then Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin embarked on the road back to the Central Plains.

After Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin left, Cao Rui stood there for a long time without moving.

He was also thinking about why that strange intuition guided him so strongly to come here.

Xi Yu and Ouyang Linlin also discussed this matter from time to time on their way back.

"Then Cao Rui's intuition is incredible. How can he be so accurate?" Ouyang Linlin said.

Xi Yu nodded, "Yes, it is indeed unpredictable. But no matter what, we have such a special experience with him."

In the mysterious Lady Huayue's cave, the peace that once existed was broken.

After a fierce battle, the place was eventually mercilessly leveled. Many bandits died in the conflict, but at the same time, many trapped soldiers were finally rescued.

There is still a lot of food left in the cave.

Zhao Yun looked at the tired people around him, turned to Zhou Yu and said, "Everyone is tired, why don't we just eat something here before leaving."

Zhou Yu looked around, nodded, and agreed to Zhao Yun's proposal.

As a result, the soldiers sat together and began to enjoy the hard-won food, temporarily forgetting the blood and exhaustion they had just experienced, and enjoying this moment of peace and relief. Outside the cave, the sun was shining, as if telling the end of this battle and a new beginning.

Zhou Yu frowned and looked at Zhao Yun seriously, asking with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Zilong, why are you trapped here?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Yun's face. He coughed lightly and said helplessly: "Gongjin, what happened on this journey is a long story, let's talk about it after we get back."

Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Yun's hesitant look. Although he was curious, he knew that this was not the time to ask questions, so he nodded and temporarily suppressed his doubts. (End of this chapter)
