Chapter 864 Taking Her Hostage

Cai Wenshuang hurriedly advised: "Dad, don't be like this. It's not sweet to be so forceful, so don't embarrass him and let him go."

Lao Cai glared at Cai Wenshuang fiercely and snorted: "Don't interrupt, there is no explanation for this matter today, and no one can leave!"

With that said, he took another step forward to block Xi Yu's path, his posture not giving in at all.

Seeing Lao Cai being so stubborn, Xi Yu felt helpless, so he had to reach into his arms and slowly take out a token. The carved patterns on the token were complex and exquisite, and shone coldly in the dim light. There was a big word "xiang" in the middle. Especially eye-catching.

"I am the Prime Minister of the dynasty. I traveled incognito this time. I didn't want to expose my identity, but what happened today was really unavoidable." Xi Yu's expression was serious, and his voice was low but with unquestionable majesty.

When Cai Wenshuang and Lao Cai heard this, their eyes widened with shock on their faces.

Lao Cai was the first to come back to his senses. He frowned and stared at the token in Xi Yu's hand. He snorted coldly: "Humph, you think you can pretend to be the prime minister by just taking out a token? How can I I will be deceived by you so easily! Could it be that my father and daughter are easy to bully, so they made a fake thing to scare us!"

Cai Wenshuang tugged on Lao Cai's sleeve and whispered: "Dad, if this is true..."

Lao Cai suddenly shook off Cai Wenshuang's hand, with a trace of stubbornness and unwillingness in his eyes.

"Bah! How could it be such a coincidence that the Prime Minister would appear in our small courtyard for no reason? I think he is just a scoundrel, just trying to get away with a false identity!"

Seeing Lao Cai's reaction, Xi Yu shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly.

He knew that it might not be easy to escape easily today. Xiyu's face darkened and his voice became colder.

"In this case, just don't believe it, but you will be responsible for the consequences."

After saying that, he stood with his hands behind his back, as if he would not leave today.

After saying that, Xi Yu turned around and was about to go back to the room, but at this moment, Lao Cai's figure flashed, and he walked up to him like a ghost, and his skinny hands instantly grabbed Xi Yu's collar.

I saw Lao Cai's eyes gleaming, his breath flowing in his body, and he suddenly used a fierce martial arts move.

Xi Yu didn't have time to resist and was restrained.

Lao Cai showed no mercy, grabbed Xi Yu, moved quickly, and rushed into another room in the cave.

Xi Yu was thrown into a dark room by Lao Cai. He could not see his fingers around him. There was a pungent smell of moisture in the air. There seemed to be water droplets on the walls, which kept dripping down. It looked particularly eerie in this silent environment.

Lao Cai stood at the door and said something coldly.

"If you dare to run away privately, this will be your fate!"

After saying that, he slammed the door shut without mercy.

The sound of the door closing echoed in this small space, as if it was trying to isolate the last trace of life.

But Xi Yu didn't panic at all. He groped for a while in the dark, and found a relatively dry place based on his feeling. He sat down leisurely, with an indifferent expression on his face, as if he was locked up here and not there. It's not a big deal.

I was secretly thinking about how to get out of this predicament and how to deal with all the troubles that might arise in the future.

After a while, Lao Cai walked out with a sullen face, frowned, looked at Cai Wenshuang, and said with annoyance: "Wenshuang, I'm afraid that guy heard the previous conversations between our father and daughter. Yeah. He knows that you admire the Prime Minister in your heart, but he tries to pretend to be the Prime Minister to fool us. Such behavior is really despicable and shameless!"

After hearing this, Cai Wenshuang bit his lips, nodded slightly, and responded: "Yes, Dad, maybe it is as you said. Now that I think about it, it is indeed possible. Your analysis is very reasonable. "

When Lao Cai heard this, he became very angry. He glared at Cai Wenshuang fiercely, raised his voice and scolded: "Humph, please remember this. You are not allowed to face outsiders again. If you do this again, "Situation, don't blame me for being rude to you, we, father and daughter, can't be manipulated by outsiders!"

Cai Wenshuang quickly lowered his head and whispered: "Daughter, remember, daddy, please calm down."

But I had a vague feeling in my heart that things might not be as simple as dad thought.

After Xi Yu stayed in this dark and humid room for a while, he gradually felt sleepy. But looking around, he couldn't find any beds. In desperation, he had no choice but to find a relatively flat corner and lay down slowly. Come down.

He knew in his heart that if he stayed here for a long time without leaving, the secret guards who secretly protected him might notice something strange and might come to rescue him.

But then I thought about it, and I couldn't help but worry. Lao Cai was very powerful in martial arts. Even if he knew his true identity as the prime minister, in order to keep certain secrets, he might be murderous and choose to kill people to silence him.

After all, this place is in a remote place, and no one else is around to see it. If something happens, it will be unnoticed.

When he thought of this, Xi Yu's originally calm heart began to panic, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He couldn't help clenching his fists, secretly praying that the secret guards would notice the abnormality earlier and come to resolve the crisis.

On the top of the Kunlun Mountains, the morning sun shines, and the soft light casts a golden veil over the rolling hills.

Taoist Master Qingfeng looked solemn and called Guang Lingzi into the room, with a hint of reproach in his eyes.

"Guanglingzi, let me ask you, have you ever been rude to Luo Xiaoyu? During the period when Master Mingyue and I were in seclusion, you asked Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong to take on too many chores, is that true?"

Guanglingzi's heart tightened, but a trace of indignation flashed across his face.

"Master, I didn't do anything excessive. Luo Xiaoyu may have complained to you and deliberately framed us. I am really wronged!"

He lowered his head slightly, his hands unconsciously clenched, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

Taoist Qingfeng stared at Guanglingzi with a sharp gaze.

"If he hadn't been wronged, he would never have mentioned it to me. But you, you are a little impetuous on weekdays. Now, don't quibble about this matter, tell the truth!"

Guanglingzi curled his lips. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous under the majesty of his master.

"Master, I just let them do what they can do and never deliberately made things difficult for them. I think they are lazy and afraid of being punished, so they complained first!" There was a hint of anger in his words.

Taoist Qingfeng shook his head slightly and sighed.

"Guanglingzi, you have been my disciple for many years, but you have not yet fully understood what the right way is. Treating people with kindness is the foundation of practice. Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong were brought here by the prime minister himself. Although we are practitioners, we should transcend the secular world and not cling to the powerful, but we should not completely ignore the prime minister's face. This time you need to reflect on your own mistakes."

He said: "And they didn't complain. We guessed that you wronged them, so they really came to complain."

Guanglingzi heard it clearly in the house, and his face turned pale and red.

After the master finished speaking, he lowered his head and walked out of the room slowly with heavy steps. The usual arrogance had long disappeared, and the whole person looked gray and listless.

He was secretly annoyed and regretted his original behavior. At the same time, he also had more resentment towards Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong, but he was helpless. He knew that he had hit the "gun" of the master this time, and could only bear it silently.

Guanglingzi took heavy steps and soon returned to the front of his fellow apprentices.

Before he could stand still, several Taoists came up to him and asked curiously, "Brother, what did the master ask you to do just now?"

Guanglingzi sighed helplessly, his face full of regret, and said slowly, "Alas, I misunderstood Luo Xiaoyu. He did not tell the master, but the two masters are very smart and must have guessed the general situation of the matter. I was always sure that he was the one who told the secret, which was really wrong."

As he spoke, he shook his head, revealing a trace of self-blame and frustration in his eyes.

The Taoists looked at each other when they heard this, and someone whispered, "What should we do? We treated them like that before, are we going to offend the prime minister?"

For a moment, everyone looked worried, and they were secretly worried about the consequences of this matter.

And Guanglingzi fell into deep regret, not knowing how to make up for his mistakes.

Guanglingzi lowered his head, his face full of shame, and slowly said: "No matter what, this incident should make us reflect on it. Looking back on that period of time, what we did was indeed bullying the two guests Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong."

His voice was low and with a hint of regret, echoing in the quiet air.

The Taoist priests around him looked at each other after hearing his words, all showing thoughtful expressions.

Some frowned slightly, as if recalling their past actions; some shook their heads gently, as if denying their past actions.

For a moment, everyone fell into silence, only the breeze in the mountains gently brushed their clothes, making a rustling sound, as if also sighing silently at their behavior.

After a long time, an older Taoist priest said softly: "That's right. We practitioners have made mistakes in this anger and ignorance. We should not do this anymore."

The night was as dark as ink, heavily covering the land of the extremely cold land. Another night quietly fell.

Xi Yu curled up in this dark and damp house. His stomach was already empty. The feeling of hunger came like a tide, and his stomach kept growling.

For a whole day, that old Cai was so cruel that he didn't bring him a bite of food.

Please...collect_6Ⅰ9Ⅰ书Ⅰ吧 (六\\\九\\\书\\\吧!)

Thinking of this, Xi Yu couldn't help but get angry and couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

As he cursed, the door slowly opened a crack, and a faint light came in.

Xiyu looked up and saw Cai Wenshuang carefully carrying a tray and holding a fire fold in the other hand. As she entered, the bean-like firelight also illuminated the dim room a little.

Xiyu's eyes were blazing with fire, staring at Cai Wenshuang and angrily scolding: "Are you going to starve me to death here?"

Cai Wenshuang pursed his lips, lowered his head and said nothing, just silently put the tray on the ground and turned to leave.

But at this moment, Xiyu's figure flashed, and he quickly made a move like a ghost, grabbing Cai Wenshuang's neck tightly. The force was so great that Cai Wenshuang's face turned red in an instant, and his eyes were full of fear and surprise.

Xiyu's face was cold, and he lowered his voice and said: "Humph, in order to let your father let me go today, I was forced to take you as a hostage. You'd better cooperate obediently and don't force me to do anything more extreme."

Cai Wenshuang was shocked and frightened. She subconsciously tried to break Xi Yu's hand with both hands, trying to break away, but the hand was as motionless as an iron plier. Her eyes gradually filled with tears, and she said with a cry: "You...you You can’t do this…”

But Xiyu just wanted to get away at the moment, so he didn't care about her pleading.

Cai Wenshuang's face turned red, his eyes full of anger and grievance, and he said with difficulty: "You... how are you different from that robber in your behavior now?"

A trace of embarrassment and helplessness flashed across Xi Yu's face, and he gritted his teeth and responded: "I don't want to end up like this. I know in my heart that doing this does lose my identity and lose my dignity, but right now I really have no other choice. There’s a way.”

After saying that, although his hand relaxed slightly, he still pinched Cai Wenshuang's neck tightly and pushed her out the door semi-forcedly.

Cai Wenshuang struggled and shouted in a crying voice: "Let me go, my father will not let you go. You will only make things worse!"

But at this moment, Xi Yu only wanted to get out of the predicament and had no time to think about the consequences. He just forced Cai Wenshuang to move out step by step.

Lao Cai was feeling depressed today, so he drank some wine and was feeling drowsy. Not long after he lay down, he suddenly heard his daughter's urgent shouting from outside.

He suddenly became excited and his drunkenness was frightened away. He hurriedly got up from the bed, without even bothering to put on his shoes, and ran towards the direction of the sound.

As soon as he went out, he saw a scene that made him furious - Xi Yu was squeezing his daughter Cai Wenshuang's neck tightly.

Lao Cai's face turned red instantly, his eyes were as wide as bells, and he shouted loudly: "You bastard, let go of my daughter!"

Xi Yu didn't change his expression, and responded coldly: "Huh, if you don't let me go, then I won't ever see your daughter again. I will do what I say, so don't force me to do anything more cruel." Come on!"

Lao Cai was so angry that he was shaking all over and his fists clenched. But seeing his daughter in Xi Yu's hands, he didn't dare to act rashly for a moment. He was angry and anxious, secretly thinking about how to resolve this difficult situation in front of him.

Lao Cai suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth: "If you dare to touch a hair of my daughter, I will kill you with no trace of your body!" But his eyes couldn't help but glance at Xi Yu's hand clasping his daughter's neck, full of worry.

Xi Yu sneered and said, "I didn't want to be like this. You forced me to do this. As long as you let me leave safely, I will let your daughter go, otherwise..."

As he spoke, Cai Wenshuang made a slight effort on his hand, and Cai Wenshuang let out a low groan of pain.

When Lao Cai saw this, he was so anxious that big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He knew in his heart that the identity of the man in front of him was unknown, but he could hold hostages so calmly, which was probably a bit tricky. But how could he risk his daughter's life?

"Okay, I'll let you go, but you must promise not to hurt my daughter at all!" Lao Cai said through gritted teeth.

Xiyu nodded.

"As long as you don't play tricks, I will naturally keep my promise."

Lao Cai slowly turned sideways to make way for a passage, but his eyes were always staring at Xi Yu warily.

Xi Yu held Cai Wenshuang hostage and moved cautiously towards the exit. Step by step, the atmosphere was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, about to explode.

Xi Yu held Cai Wenshuang hostage and hurriedly walked out of the cave entrance.

As soon as he came out, the thick darkness outside rushed towards him. The surroundings were pitch black, with only a few sparse stars shining faintly in the distant sky.

After all, after staying in the cave for so long, I have really lost the concept of time.

While Xi Yu was vigilantly observing the movements around him, he lowered his voice and said to Cai Wenshuang: "Don't blame me. The situation forces me to do this. I have to take you a long distance away and make sure it's safe before I can take you." Put it back. Anyway, you'd better cooperate and don't try to make any noise."

After saying that, he pulled Cai Wenshuang to quicken his pace and walked towards the depths of darkness. As the two of them hurriedly walked in the dark night, Cai Wenshuang bit his lip, his eyes full of hesitation and curiosity, and couldn't help but ask : "You...are you really the Prime Minister?"

Xi Yu kept walking, glanced sideways at her, with a look of helplessness and ridicule, and snorted coldly: "Humph, you two were so determined not to believe me before, and you made things difficult for me, and now you are What’s the point of asking me this question?”

Cai Wenshuang blushed and defended in a low voice: "We were reckless before, but now you are acting like this. I really want to confirm again. If...if you are really the prime minister, then we will commit a crime." Big mistake."

Xi Yu shook his head slightly, but did not respond to her. He just dragged her forward, secretly thinking about how to get out of this troublesome situation and how to return to where he should go smoothly.

The wind whistled in her ears, Xi Yu tightly grabbed Cai Wenshuang's arm, and took her far away with hurried steps.

Cai Wenshuang's steps staggered, her hair was messy, her eyes were full of exhaustion and helplessness, she looked up at Xi Yu, her voice was trembling and hopeful.

"You can let me go now, right?"

Xi Yu's face was stern, and there was unquestionable determination in his eyes.

"No, we must find the medicine." After saying that, he continued to pull Cai Wenshuang forward, scanning the surroundings with vigilance.

Cai Wenshuang followed with shuffling steps, and when Xi Yu wasn't paying attention, he secretly looked into the distance, only to see that there was no figure of his father pursuing him on that familiar land.

Her heart sank suddenly, as if she had fallen into an endless dark abyss. Did her father give up on her? Or was he secretly preparing a rescue plan?

Various thoughts came to her mind, making her a little dazed for a while. (End of this chapter)
