Chapter 754 It’s Over

Zhao Yun turned around and said loudly to everyone: "Attention everyone, the weather is not good today. Judging from the situation, there will be heavy rain. For the sake of safety, we will wait at the inn for the time being and wait until the weather improves before setting off."

Upon hearing Zhao Yun's order, everyone stopped packing their bags.

A soldier scratched his head and said, "General, then we are going to rest in this inn for the whole day?"

Zhao Yun nodded, glanced at everyone, and said, "That's right. Traveling in this bad weather will make it difficult to travel on muddy roads, and you may encounter various dangers. We can't risk everyone's lives."

Chachatu, who was in the room, heard the conversation outside. He walked to the window and looked at the gloomy sky outside through the blurred window paper. He thought to himself: "The weather is really bad, but it's good. I can get more rest." one day."

There was a hint of joy in his eyes, but there were also some complicated emotions in them.

At night, the rain stopped quietly, and the air was filled with a fresh breath.

However, this peaceful atmosphere did not bring the slightest peace to Chachatu.

Zhao Yun saw that it was getting late, so he suggested: "It's too late today, let's go on our way tomorrow."

Everyone nodded in agreement and began to prepare to set up camp and rest.

Chachatu was lying in a simple tent, but couldn't fall asleep.

His eyes were wide open and he was looking at the roof of the tent, with various images constantly appearing in his mind.

He thought of Xi Yu's cold eyes and harsh methods, and his heart was filled with fear. "Xi Yu will definitely kill me." He murmured to himself, his voice trembling.

Fear was like a big invisible hand, gripping his heart tightly. He seemed to see Xi Yu leading a group of people, approaching him menacingly, the weapons in his hands flashing with cold light. He couldn't help but shudder, and his body curled up involuntarily.

"No, I can't sit still and wait for death." Chachatu thought secretly. He began to think about ways to escape, but his mind was in chaos and he couldn't think of any clues at all.

He turned over irritably, feeling increasingly uneasy.

This long night was like an endless nightmare to Chachatu. He didn't know what would be waiting for him tomorrow, but he knew that he had to find a way to survive.

Chachatu lay there, his body shaking slightly.

Those horrific images kept circling in his mind like demons, lingering in his mind.

His face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"It's terrible, it's really terrible." He repeated it over and over in his mind.

These images were like heavy shackles, causing severe disturbance to him and making him almost unable to breathe.

He felt as if he was in a dark abyss, with no glimmer of hope in sight.

Gradually, despair surged into his heart like a tide.

He felt that he was at the end of his rope and could not survive.

"Rather than fall into Xi Yu's hands and suffer the unimaginable consequences, it is better to end my life now." Once this terrible thought appeared, it grew crazily in his heart like weeds.

His eyes became empty and desperate, and he slowly sat up.

His trembling hand reached for the saber at his waist and grasped the handle tightly.

His heart was filled with fear and helplessness, as if this was his only choice.

After all, Cha Cha Tu finally decided to be cruel, and on the night he chose, Cha Cha Tu finally decided to be cruel and chose the dead end of suicide.

He gritted his teeth tightly and bit his tongue hard. In an instant, severe pain hit him and blood poured out of his mouth.

His body fell slowly, and his consciousness gradually became blurred, but there was a sense of relief in his heart.

The next morning, the sun shone on the earth, but it could not dispel the heavy haze.

The soldier ran over in panic and reported eagerly: "General, it's not good! Check him... he's dead!"

When Zhao Yun heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately stood up and walked quickly into the room.

I saw Chachatu lying there quietly, his face pale and no longer breathing.

Zhao Yun's mood was very complicated, and he felt heavy in his heart like a boulder. He frowned slightly, his eyes full of helplessness and self-blame.

"I didn't complete the task." He sighed secretly in his heart.

The soldier looked at Zhao Yun's sad expression and said quickly: "General, this is none of your business. Chacha Tu committed suicide himself." Zhao Yun remained silent. He knew that what the soldier said was true, but the guilt in his heart could not be overcome. dissipate.

He stood there quietly, looking at Chachatu's body with a lot of thoughts.

Zhao Yun sighed slightly, and then ordered the soldiers: "Although Chachatu is dead, we have to continue on the road. Take his body with us and let the Prime Minister take a look."

The soldiers immediately took action and prepared to take the corpse with them solemnly.

Just then, the shopkeeper rushed over with an angry look on his face.

He put his hands on his hips and said loudly: "You can't leave! It's unlucky for someone to die here, and you have to pay for it!"

The shopkeeper's eyes were full of anger and dissatisfaction, as if Zhao Yun and the others had committed an unforgivable sin.

Zhao Yun frowned, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, this is not what we want."

But the shopkeeper refused and shouted: "No! You have to pay now, otherwise you won't be able to leave!"

The soldiers looked angry and wanted to come forward to argue, but were stopped by Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun said calmly: "Shopkeeper, we have an urgent mission and cannot stay here for too long. Don't worry, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

The shopkeeper was still reluctant and stood in front of Zhao Yun and others, shouting loudly: "You can't just leave like this, you must pay!" Zhao Yun's patience was exhausted, and a surge of anger surged in his heart. His face darkened, his eyes instantly turned cold, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed the shopkeeper's neck.

Zhao Yun said coldly: "People died here. It's good that I didn't cause any trouble to your inn. How dare you ask for money? Your inn didn't take good care of the person. Shouldn't it be responsible?"

His tone was full of majesty and anger, making people shudder.

The shopkeeper was grabbed by the neck by Zhao Yun and was immediately frightened.

His face turned red and his eyes were full of panic.

Looking at Zhao Yun's fierce look and the serious expressions of the soldiers around him, he immediately did not dare to say anything more.

The shopkeeper felt regretful in his heart: "I just wanted to get some money, but I didn't expect to offend this evil god. Now it seems that this method will not work."

His eyes showed helplessness and fear, and his body trembled involuntarily.

When Zhao Yun saw that the shopkeeper didn't say anything anymore, he let go of his hand, glared at him fiercely, and said, "Humph, if you dare to stop him again, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, he led the soldiers, carried Chachatu's body, and left the inn with great strides.

The shopkeeper stood there, looking at their retreating figures, and let out a long sigh, feeling helpless in his heart.

Zhao Yun and others rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Youzhou without stopping.

Xi Yu was sitting in his mansion when he heard a report from his servants, saying that Zhao Yun was back.

His eyes lit up and he immediately ordered: "Let Zhao Yun come in quickly."

After a while, Zhao Yun walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion dusty.

There was a tired look on his face, but his eyes remained firm.

Seeing Xi Yu, Zhao Yun immediately knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "I will see the Prime Minister at the end of the day."

Xi Yu quickly raised his hand and said: "Without courtesy, please tell me what happened and what happened in the Kushan Empire."

Zhao Yun stood up and began to speak solemnly.

His voice was calm and powerful, and he recounted his experiences and encounters along the way.

"Prime Minister, I was ordered to go to the Kushan Empire and went through many hardships. Unfortunately, Chachatu committed suicide on the way." Zhao Yun's tone was full of regret and helplessness.

Xi Yu frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

A trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, including surprise at the development of things and worry about the future situation.

After a while, Xi Yu said slowly: "This matter is indeed beyond my expectation. However, you have worked hard."

Zhao Yun nodded slightly and then asked: "Prime Minister, what should we do about Cha Cha Tu's body?"

Xi Yu put his chin on his hand, lost in thought, and said after a moment: "Let the soldiers hang Cha Cha Tu's body on the tower, and then tell everyone what happened."

Zhao Yun took the order and quickly arranged for soldiers to hang Chacha Tu's body on the tower.

Soon, this move attracted the attention of many people at the gate of the gate.

People gathered around, whispering and discussing. Some people looked confused and didn't know what was going on; others looked nervous, as if they had a premonition that something big was going to happen.

On the tower, the soldiers looked solemn, guarding Chachatu's body. They straightened their backs and stared firmly at the crowd below, waiting for further instructions.

In every corner of the city, the news spread quickly, and people were speculating on the reasons behind this incident.

Zhao Yun stood on the tower and told the relevant situation in a loud voice.

His words reached everyone's ears clearly, giving everyone a clear understanding of the ins and outs of the matter.

"It turns out that foreigners actually want to assassinate the prime minister. Damn it!" People commented angrily, with indignation on their faces.

Many people began to insult, and their words were full of condemnation of the assassin and defense of the prime minister.

"It's better for this foreign king to die, otherwise he will definitely be punished by the prime minister." Someone said loudly.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and their hearts were full of awe for the majesty of the prime minister.

The atmosphere below the tower was warm and exciting, and people's emotions were completely ignited.

Their loyalty and support for the Prime Minister was clearly demonstrated at this moment.

Looking at everyone's reactions, Zhao Yun felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

He knew that the prime minister's status in people's hearts was so high that no one could violate it.

At this time, the wind on the tower was gently blowing the hem of Zhao Yun's clothes, and he looked solemnly at the excited people below. I secretly lamented the prime minister's prestige in the hearts of the people.

In the crowd, an old man stroked his beard and said indignantly: "These foreigners dared to assassinate the Prime Minister. They are simply asking for death. The Prime Minister worked hard for our people, but they repaid them with kindness."

The young man next to him clenched his fists and echoed: "That's right, they are so hateful."

People were talking one after another, and accusations against foreign assassins were endless.

The body of Chachatu hanging on the tower seemed to be silently telling the story of this thrilling assassination.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Yun became more determined to protect the prime minister.

He knew that only under the leadership of the prime minister could the people live a stable life.

Although the storm has calmed down temporarily, he also understands that there is still a long way to go in the future. They must always remain vigilant and guard against any possible threats.

Xiyu, dressed in solemn clothes, walked into Liu Xie's palace with a calm look.

He bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

Liu Xie sat on the dragon chair and raised his eyes slightly, with a hint of curiosity in his expression.

"What's the matter?"

Xiyu straightened his body and said slowly: "Your Majesty, there was a foreign assassin who wanted to assassinate me before, and the assassin Chachatu committed suicide while being escorted."

Liu Xie was relieved when he heard this.

A look of relief appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly, saying, "He deserved to die. Since he committed suicide, let it be."

Xi Yu bowed again and said, "If your majesty has nothing to do, I will take my leave."

However, Liu Xie said again, "Wait a minute, you stay and play chess with me."

Xi Yu said respectfully, "I obey your order."

Liu Xie's eyes revealed a trace of loneliness. He sighed softly and said, "I am also very bored in this palace. You play chess with me to relieve my boredom."

The two came to the chessboard and sat down. Liu Xie played black first. His eyes stared at the chessboard intently, as if he was thinking about some major decision.

Xi Yu did not dare to neglect it, and he focused on every move of Liu Xie.

On the chessboard, black and white chess pieces were intertwined, and the situation was complicated.

As night fell, the Prime Minister's Mansion was shrouded in silence. Xi Yu dragged his slightly tired body back to the mansion.

He was concerned about Ouyang Linlin, so he went straight to her room.

When he opened the door, he saw several maids carefully serving Ouyang Linlin.

Xiyu felt relieved when he saw this scene. He walked to Ouyang Linlin and said gently, "Linlin, you must rest assured to take care of your baby."

Ouyang Linlin raised her head slightly and looked at Xiyu, her eyes full of tenderness. She nodded gently and said, "I will."

However, Ouyang Linlin continued, "I heard from Xiaohong that it was very lively on the city wall today."

Xiyu frowned slightly. He didn't want Ouyang Linlin to worry about these things.

So he said softly, "It's just some trivial matters, you don't have to take it to heart. Now your first task is to take good care of your baby and create a good environment for our child."

Ouyang Linlin heard the concern in Xiyu's words, she smiled slightly and stopped asking questions.

Xiyu looked at Ouyang Linlin's peaceful face, and a warm current surged in his heart. He secretly vowed to protect Ouyang Linlin and their unborn child.

Xiyu came out of Ouyang Linlin's room and was about to walk towards his own room, but unexpectedly saw Xishi standing quietly at the door.

Xishi's face was a little pale, and her eyes were full of worry. She whispered: "Husband, I just found out today that someone wanted to assassinate you. Thinking of this, I am afraid."

Xiyu looked at Xishi's worried look, and a little moved surged in his heart.

He walked to Xishi and gently comforted her: "Don't worry, the person who can kill me in this world has not appeared yet."

Xishi raised her head slightly, looked at Xiyu's resolute face, and her worries were slightly relieved.

But she still couldn't help saying: "You must be careful, I don't want you to be in any danger."

Xiyu gently held Xishi's hand and said: "Don't worry, I will protect myself and you." His eyes were full of tenderness and determination, which made Xishi feel very relieved.

At this moment, Xi Yu suddenly felt an impulse in his heart. He smiled evilly and picked up Xi Shi.

Xi Shi was startled by this sudden action. She kept shaking her body and said with a red face: "Husband, I am not the one who will serve you tonight. Let you go to Madam Cai."

Xi Yu refused to let go. He approached Xi Shi and whispered in her ear: "No, I want you."

Xi Shi's heartbeat accelerated instantly. She was nervous and shy, and she didn't know what to do.

But she knew in her heart that she could not disobey the prime minister's wishes. So, she bit her lips gently and stopped struggling.

Xi Yu held Xi Shi and strode towards the room.

His eyes were full of desire and possessiveness, as if Xi Shi was his exclusive baby.

Xi Shi snuggled tightly in Xi Yu's arms, her heart full of contradictions and uneasiness.

Xi Shi looked at Xi Yu's fiery eyes, and her heart became more and more determined that she could not serve him at this moment.

She took a deep breath and mustered up her courage again and said, "Prime Minister, I really can't serve you. Because if I serve you tonight, you won't be able to report to Madam Cai. I don't want to cause a sisterly conflict." Her eyes were full of sincerity and worry, and her cheeks were slightly red.

Xiyu was slightly startled after hearing Xishi's words, and began to think in his heart.

He had to admit that Xishi was right. If he exhausted his energy here with Xishi, he really couldn't report to Madam Cai.

Thinking of this, he sighed softly.

Xiyu slowly let go of the hand holding Xishi, held her hand, and said with admiration in his eyes: "You are really sensible."

Xishi lowered her head slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that her persistence was right, which not only avoided possible conflicts, but also maintained the harmony of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xiyu looked at Xishi's well-behaved appearance, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He secretly decided that he must cherish the women around him more in the future and let them live a stable and happy life in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xi Shi bowed gently and then slowly withdrew.

Her figure gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor, leaving a touch of elegant fragrance.

Xi Yu looked at the direction where Xi Shi left and was slightly absent-minded for a moment.

He felt that the women in the yard did not fight for love, which was really a good sign.

Then, he tidied his clothes and walked towards Mrs. Cai's room. (End of this chapter)
