"Everyone, what do you think about this?"

Inside the fortress, Xue Wenju looked at the group of nobles and asked.

From the barbarian soldiers, they learned that the defeated barbarians had most likely returned to Ruifeng County. They just needed to stay here and wait for the barbarian soldiers to leave, and then they could go back.

But there is still a problem. The barbarians said that other tribes also came to Taoyuan County, but these nobles did not see them. They speculated that they saw that there was no one in Taoyuan County, so they left.

This is a good thing for them, at least they no longer have to worry about being attacked by barbarians.

If the barbarians really come to attack the fort again, these nobles will not know where to escape.

"I'm going to save my son."

Just when all the nobles thought that they should stay in the fort and wait for the Chini tribe to leave, Liu Jingzhi spoke.

"Master Xue, my son was captured by the barbarians because he was trying to save us. You can't just stand by and watch him die."

Liu Jingzhi looked very excited. He only had this one son. If he was captured by the barbarians, he would be losing his son before his time.

Moreover, Liu Xiao was trained very well by him, at least he thought so. If he just passed away, all his previous efforts and hard work would be in vain.

Xue Wenju said in embarrassment: "Brother Liu, I understand your feelings, but we have no soldiers, how can we rescue your son?"

"Ask the bandits for help. Doesn't Qianqian have a good relationship with the bandits? Why not let Qianqian go to the mountain stronghold and ask the bandits to come down the mountain."

"Liu Jingzhi!"

Xue Wenju slammed the table and stood up, his face livid, "Don't talk nonsense! When did my daughter have a good relationship with the bandits?"

Liu Jingzhi said hurriedly: "That's not what I meant."

"What do you mean?"

"I just want to ask Qianqian to go to the mountain village to get some soldiers to rescue people."

"Absolutely not. My daughter doesn't know any bandits and can't help you with this." Xue Wenju's voice was cold and hard.

Seeing this, Liu Jingzhi also got angry and said, "Master Xue, the whole county knows that your daughter was tied up by bandits on the mountain for three days and three nights. The Zhang family even broke off the engagement because of this. Later, many rumors spread in the county. How could they be groundless?"

"My son's life or death is unknown now. I just asked Qianqian to help me, but you are making excuses. Do you want my son to die in the hands of the barbarians?"

"Shut up! I am naturally worried about Liu Xiao's capture, but you cannot slander my daughter."

"Slander? It's something that everyone in the county knows, and you say I'm slandering you. Xue Wenju, ask other people, am I slandering you?"

Xue Wenju was so angry that he overturned the table and pointed at Liu Jingzhi's nose, his hands shaking. "It's true that my daughter was kidnapped by bandits, but the bandit leader treated her with courtesy and didn't even touch my daughter."

"Hahaha!"

Liu Jingzhi burst into laughter. "Master Xue, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? The bandits kidnapped a woman and brought her to the mountain, and they still kept her innocent. Is the bandit leader a saint?"

"You...you..." Xue Wenju was so angry that he was shaking all over.

"What do you mean by 'I'?" Liu Jingzhi took a step forward. "After Qianqian came back, did she always want to go back to the mountain stronghold? If she didn't have a secret relationship with the bandits, would she be so concerned?"

"You bastard, I'm going to fight you!"

Xue Wenju was so angry that he reached out and hit Liu Jingzhi. Liu Jingzhi was not willing to be outdone, and the two of them started to wrestle.

The other nobles were all watching the fun, but they didn't expect the two to start fighting, so they hurried to try to stop them.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"

But both of them were already red-hot at the moment, so they were not willing to listen to advice.

Xue Wenju grabbed Liu Jingzhi by the collar and punched him in the face again and again, "My daughter is innocent, why do you want to tarnish her innocence?"

Liu Jingzhi was not to be outdone and kicked Xue Wenju in the stomach, "Innocent? Then why did the Zhang family cancel the engagement? Why is the county talking about it?"

Many nobles finally separated the two men, but they continued to kick and curse at each other through the air.

Yuzhu originally came out to pour water for Xue Qianqian, but was shocked when she saw this and hurried back to the room.

In the room, Xue Qianqian was comforting Liu Yiyi.

"Sister Yiyi, don't worry. Brother Liu is a lucky man. Nothing will happen to him."

Liu Yiyi shed tears, "My brother is such a proud man. If he falls into the hands of barbarians, I don't know what kind of torture he will suffer. With his temper, if he is humiliated, he might commit suicide. How can I not be anxious?"

Xue Qianqian sighed. She didn’t know how to comfort her when encountering such a thing.

"Miss, it's bad, the master and Mr. Liu are fighting."

Yuzhu rushed in, looking anxious.

"What?"

Xue Qianqian and Liu Yiyi were stunned and stood up at the same time.

…

Inside the hall, Xue Wenju and Liu Jingzhi were still cursing and kicking each other. If it weren't for the many nobles holding them back, the two would probably have really fought to the point of bloodshed.

Xue Wenju was panting, staring at Liu Jingzhi with gritted teeth. There was no composure at all. He wished he could tear Liu Jingzhi's mouth off.

Liu Jingzhi also glared with his eyes wide open, without the elegance of a noble family, and kept spewing obscene words. In this regard, Xue Wenju was at a disadvantage, after all, his was a daughter, and most of the abusive words were related to women.

Shen Rumei was still somewhat rational at first, and pulled Xue Wenju to stop him from doing it, but at this moment, she heard Liu Jingzhi's insults, even involving her, and her face suddenly turned red. She rushed over and scratched Liu Jingzhi's face, but was stopped by Liu Jingzhi's wife.

The two ladies immediately started fighting again, pulling each other's hair and tearing each other's clothes, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

"Dad, Mom, what are you doing?"

Xue Qianqian and Liu Yiyi rushed in at this time and were stunned by the scene in front of them: Dad was swearing, Mom was fighting, a bunch of people were trying to stop the fight, and the whole hall was noisy.
