Chapter 12: Entering the Tiger's Mouth Again
"Zi,,, Xie Shizi is a true righteous man." The man under the sword took the lead in breaking the silence. "Why put down the knife in your hand first, and we can have a good talk."
"No need." Xie Yu's hand tightened a little more. "When I and Gongshu Mujiu are safe, I will let you go. Please, please." Xie Yu stretched out his head and signaled the knife to lead the way.
The man hesitated and dared not move.
"Ah." The man under the sword sighed. "Since that's the case, let's take Xie Shizi to see people."
"No...wait." The man holding the knife took his life and was about to set out to lead the way, Xie Yu stopped: "Take people here, don't be fooled."
The man holding the sword looked at his master, and the man under the sword simply nodded.
Xie Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he was shocked, but he didn't relax at all.
Not long after, Gongshu Mujiu was taken to Xie Yu.
"You...what are you going to do?" Gongshu Mujiu came here and didn't understand what was going on. She just saw a few people emitting weapons, and fear suddenly rose from her heart.
"Zhonggui, I am Xie Yu." Xie Yu was helpless when he saw Gongshu Mujiu's condition.
"Zi...Brother Ziqi?" Gongshu Muji shouted uncertainly, and quickly shook his head and said bitterly. "Brother Ziqi is not your voice. Please let me go. I really said everything I know."
Xie Yu was speechless. After a while, he spoke: "You steal your sister's private money to fight crickets."
Everyone was stunned in the audience.
The man holding the sword winked at the man under the sword. Xie Yu was not careful.
"You...how do you know? Don't say anything nonsense." Gongshu Mujiu was shocked, and then cried with joy, "Brother Ziqi, it's really you!"
Xie Yu was speechless again.
"You can take us out." Xie Yu ignored Gongshu Mujiu's stupid speech and instead said to the man in black holding a knife. "Put the knife away first."
The man in black, holding the knife, hesitated for a moment, then put the knife into the sheath.
"Don't follow me." Xie Yu turned to the other two men in black and said.
There was another silence in the field. The man in black set out to take the way.
"Xie Shizi, I have something to do." After walking for a long time, I was silent for a long time. The man in black in front of me stopped and made Xie Yu hold the hostages tightly.
"?" Xie Yu frowned and looked carefully at the person in front of him.
"To be honest, we have the detailed life of the scholar." The man in black did not turn around, but spoke to Xie Yu on his own. "I feel very sorry without the scholar's permission."
Xie Yu's brows tighter. He didn't understand the purpose of the man in black suddenly saying this. Out of alert, he looked around and confirmed Wu Yu's back and said, "So what."
"Don't blame Xie Shizi." The man in black continued: "According to the records in the file, the scholar was a Confucian scholar. When he was young, he was called a child prodigy by his neighbors and was proficient in poetry and songs."
"So what?" Xie Yu asked back.
"The Xie family is also a clan of Wenzong, and is famous for its numbers." The man in black paused. "The scholar is even known as the number one scholar in Yan."
Gongshu Mujiu looked at Xie Yu in surprise when he heard this.
"So what?" Xie Yu's face did not change any changes on the surface, he just frowned slightly.
"What I want to say is." The man in black suddenly turned around, and Xie Yu immediately used his sword to cut a hole in the hostage's neck.
"Sir, don't worry!" The man in black immediately turned his head back.
The hostages didn't say a word.
"I'm just curious about where the scholar learned the martial arts of five steps of blood, and there was no other intention. I hope the scholar should be careful." While explaining to Xie Yu earnestly, the man in black did not stay in place anymore, but took a step and took the initiative to keep a distance from Xie Yu and the other two.
"The Six Arts of a Gentleman." Xie Yu only answered a few words.
Seeing that Xie Yu did not reduce his cautious attitude, the man in black couldn't help but start to think about other ways to distract Xie Yu.
"There is only the imperial in the six arts, and shooting is related to martial arts. Are the scholars bullying me ignorant?" The man in black smiled calmly, trying to let Xie Yu relax his vigilance with a peaceful attitude.
"Isn't ignorance a fact?" Xie Yu retorted.
Xie Yu's emotional changes made the man in black happy. He knew that Xie Yu's arrogant and arrogant personality was enough to distract him.
"Why did the scholar teach me?" The man in black asked Xie Yu with a little flattering look, but his eyes under the mask were constantly searching for something to the bulge of the earthen walls on both sides.
"Ha, I don't even know Confucian martial arts?" Xie Yu said with some contempt.
"I only know the Confucian archery technique, the best of the chariot and horses." The man in black replied.
"Hmph." Xie Yu snorted coldly.
"Since that's the case," the man in black replied with some disappointment. "Then you offend me!"
In an instant, Xie Yu fell down upon answering.

Luoyi Tong County Hou Mansion
This year's Lantern Festival is particularly lively. The Tongxian Hou Mansion held a Lantern Festival meeting to wish the victory and wish the people of the world to return to peace as soon as possible. The Tongxian Hou specially invited His Majesty to decree that all civil and military officials would go to the Tongxian Hou Mansion.
The banquet of the Marquis of Tong County was full of people, all of which were the ministers of the Zhou Dynasty. In the center of the hall, there was a huge lantern, particularly red. Around the lantern, many small lanterns were dotted beside it. Looking at the dim lights and the jade pot was circling, the dazzling array of people, everyone was as if they were dreaming.
It was also at this time that the master came to the seat, raised his glass and drank it hard. After taking a big breath, he suddenly started to cry and wail. This behavior shocked everyone in the hall and looked at the Marquis of Tong County.
After a while, the crying of the Marquis of Tongxian County had not stopped, but instead there were signs of crying more and more intensely.
"Why are the Marquis of Tongxian crying?" At this time, a man stood out from the hall, bowed his hands, and asked.
"Zhonglu, I'm thinking of Yankang." The Marquis of Tongxian looked at the lanterns in the hall and did not stop crying.
"Please look, the lanterns in the center of this hall are like when I and Yan Kang were traveling to the Luoyang Lantern Club back then, which attracted my memory. On that day, I was a down-and-out scholar. He was neglected for Yandi, and was moved by people to watch the lamps. He made up his mind to do something that shocked Luojing and attracted attention." The Hou of Tong County wiped his tears and continued. "It's shameful to say that we were discussing the abducting brides from other families. I went to see the wind but was tripped by the weeds and could not get out. He was quick to think of a way and shouted out that I was the thief. Seeing that everyone was coming towards me with weapons, I had to use all my strength to break free from the weeds. Then he actually stood in front of everyone and confessed his guilt, giving me time to escape... After decades of blinking, I remembered this friendship, and I sincerely felt that he was my lifelong friend."
"Report! It's not good, the gentleman is not sure where to go for a banquet at Luming Pavilion!" Just as the Marquis of Tong County was crying, there were loud shouts outside the door.
