Mrs. Mingyue nodded slightly.

After a while, several black shadows appeared quietly like ghosts, quickly surrounding Mrs. Mingyue.

Mrs. Mingyue was shocked and became alert in an instant.

She secretly complained in her heart that she was the thug of a rich family that she had offended when she was robbing her family.

The people were vicious, with flames of revenge flashing in their eyes, as if they were going to swallow her alive.

"Hmph, you stinky woman, finally let us find it!" One of the thugs said gritting their teeth, holding the weapon tightly in their hands, and the cold light seemed particularly dazzling in the dim inn.

Mrs. Mingyue pretended to be calm, stood up slowly, and looked at them with cold eyes: "What do you want?"

Her hand quietly touched her waist, where her self-defense was hidden.

"How is it? Today is your death. Pay the price for what you did before!" The thugs roared and pressed step by step.

Seeing this, Mrs. Mingyue fought with the group of thugs without hesitation.

She had agile body and sharp moves, and she was in a difficult situation to match with these people for a moment.

The waiter was already scared and looked like a slut. While tremblingly advising them not to hit them, he hurriedly crawled under the table, muttering: "Stop hitting, stop hitting, how is this good..."

However, the other side was full of people and as the fight continued, Mrs. Mingyue gradually lost her energy.

Just as a thug's knife was about to slash at Mrs. Mingyue, Xi Yu came back.

He shouted: "What are you doing!" Then, with his order, the dark guards in the dark appeared instantly, rushed towards the thugs like ghosts, quickly joined the battle, and the situation turned around instantly.

Xi Yu quickly walked to Mrs. Mingyue and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Mrs. Mingyue gasped slightly and shook her head: "I'm fine, thanks to you coming back in time."

Under the strong attack of the secret guards, the thugs gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing that the situation was not good, they winked each other and fled in all directions.

Xi Yu did not let the secret guards chase him. He turned around and walked towards Mrs. Mingyue, with concern and inquiry in his eyes: "Mrs. Mingyue, who are these people? Why do you want to attack you?"

Mrs. Mingyue sighed lightly and said with a somewhat awkward expression: "It was the trouble that I used to be reckless. When I was robbing the family, I robbed the money of a rich man. I guess they were hired by the rich man to seek revenge."

Xi Yu frowned slightly and looked at Mrs. Mingyue and said, "Madam, although the past is no longer something you can't pursue, you still need to be cautious in your future. Fortunately, we have a large number of people this time, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

Mrs. Mingyue nodded, "You are right, I will pay attention to it in the future."

After a while, the food was brought up and placed on the table in a steaming heat, but Mrs. Mingyue lost her previous interest and was still a little scared. She looked at Xi Yu, her eyes full of gratitude.

"Prime Minister, I really thank you today. If you and your people hadn't arrived in time, I'd probably..." Mrs. Mingyue paused, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

Then she asked curiously: "By the way, who are those who are as mysterious as ghosts? They appear silently, but act so neatly."

Xi Yu smiled slightly, picked up a chopstick dish and put it in his mouth, and said slowly: "That is the secret guard I trained. They are specifically responsible for protecting my safety. They usually hide in the dark, waiting for my instructions."

Mrs. Mingyue's eyes showed a look of surprise: "So that's it. It's really not easy for you to train such a powerful secret guard."

They were eating quietly. When Xi Yu was focusing on the food in front of him, he suddenly felt that his vision was always on him.

He raised his head in confusion and saw Mrs. Mingyue staring at her intently, with a different feeling in her eyes.

Xi Yu suddenly felt incredible. He touched his face and asked Mrs. Mingyue: "Madam, why are you looking at me like this? Is there dust on my face?"

Mrs. Mingyue seemed to be touched by someone's worries, and suddenly blushed. She looked away in panic and said embarrassedly: "No... nothing."

After saying that, she lowered her head and started eating quickly, but her red cheeks had not faded, and her heartbeat was much faster than usual.

Although Xi Yu looked at Mrs. Mingyue's appearance, she was a little confused, but she didn't ask any more questions and continued to eat, but the atmosphere became a little subtle.

Mrs. Mingyue's heart trembled slightly, and she thought to herself: Did she like Xi Yu?

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her heartbeat accelerated unconsciously.

This feeling was so strange to her, but it had an irresistible attraction, which made her feel a little overwhelmed by this complicated thought.

Before we knew it, the night was like black silk, quietly covering the entire town.

The last trace of afterglow in the horizon also disappeared.

Xi Yu looked at Mrs. Mingyue and said, "It's dark, and it seems that I have to stay in the city tonight. But, madam, you might as well go back first, so as not to worry about your sister." There was a hint of concern in his eyes.

Mrs. Mingyue shook her head gently, and a free and easy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Don't worry, I'm used to being wild outside. My sister knows my temperament and will not worry about me. Besides, I'm back. If those thugs come to seek revenge again, wouldn't it be implicating my sister and others?"

"Since that's the case, then the lady will find a place to live with me, so that she can take care of her."

Mrs. Mingyue responded, and the two walked towards the nearby inn, and their figures gradually drifted away in the night.

The two walked into the inn, and the candlelight in the store swayed, casting mottled light and shadow.

Xi Yu frowned slightly, and he advised Mrs. Yue again with a serious look on his face: "You should go back. Although your sister is used to your casualness and freedom on weekdays, today is different from the past."

Mrs. Mingyue opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but she hesitated when she saw the persistence in Xi Yu's eyes.

After a moment, Mrs. Mingyue nodded slightly.

"Okay, your Prime Minister, is right."

Then, Mrs. Mingyue walked out of the inn and rode on her horse. She tied the reins and looked back at Xi Yu who was standing at the door of the inn. A trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes: "Prime Minister, then I'm leaving, be careful yourself."

After saying that, she rode her horse and whipped her horse's hooves echoed on the quiet streets, and her figure quickly disappeared into the night.
