In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos.
Liu Wei transmigrated to become a prince of the Eastern Han, initially framed by Empress Dowager He and granted the barren and dangero...
"Sir, are you leaving already?"
Zhen Mi was quite surprised.
In Zhenjiazhuang, Zhang Shi, the four Zhen sisters, and the two widowed sisters-in-law were all shocked when they heard Liu Wei say he was leaving.
They saw the leader of the Black Mountain Army bow down and obey Liu Wei's orders, then turn around and lead his troops away without looking back!
What had just happened left them in disbelief.
First, thieves came to collect grain, and Zhen Yao was injured by them, as were many of the farmhands.
Then Liu Wei took action, subdued the leader of the thieves, and the thieves retreated.
Then, another group of men in black attacked.
Unexpectedly, Liu Wei released the bandit leader and fought alongside the man in black.
Then, the bandit army arrived again.
But in the end, these thieves killed the man in black and treated Liu Wei with utmost respect.
This is something they find hard to understand.
However, they knew that these thieves would probably not target Zhenjia Village again.
All of this was caused by this man who called himself Yang Wei of Zhuojun!
One man, one horse, one sword, and he repelled thousands of troops with a laugh—how magnificent!
"That's right! These thieves were won over by my virtue and righteousness. They not only promised not to harass the Zhen family again, but they were also willing to obey my orders and go to Youzhou to kill the foreign tribes and make contributions."
Looking at the eight women, young and old, Liu Wei spoke with righteous indignation.
Such an imposing presence captivated the hearts of these eight women.
The five daughters of the Zhen family each had their own thoughts, while the two widowed sisters-in-law sighed inwardly, lamenting that they were past their prime and had no chance to be with their children!
Zhang's heart began to waver. Why not prevent Zhen Mi from marrying into a noble and wealthy family and instead betroth her to this man?
Although this man is dressed in plain clothes, he subdued so many thieves with ease and composure. He is sure to achieve great things and be ennobled as a marquis or general when he goes to Youzhou in the future.
Why must a woman with five daughters insist on having only her youngest?
"Young Master Yang, why are you in such a hurry?" Madam Zhang said, somewhat disappointed.
"The people in Youzhou are suffering terribly. The military situation is urgent. The sooner we get there, the fewer lives we can save from being ravaged by foreign invaders!"
"Therefore, I must leave immediately, without delay!"
As Liu Wei spoke, he kept looking at Zhen Mi. Zhen Mi, feeling the intense gaze from Liu Wei, lowered her head shyly and fidgeted with the hem of her clothes.
"Since that's the case, then we won't force you to stay, young master!"
Seeing this, Zhang knew it was inappropriate to force Liu Wei to stay. If she kept Liu Wei, wouldn't that hinder his chances of making a name for himself?
"However, I see that you are a handsome and talented young master with great ambitions, and that you have saved the Zhen family from danger. I have five daughters, none of whom are yet to be married."
"If you do not mind, young master, you may choose one of them as your wife!"
Zhang finally made up her mind and laid out her five daughters for Liu Wei to choose from, saying, "Whichever one you like, I will marry!"
When the four sisters of the Zhen family heard their mother's words, they were all very excited. They stole glances at Liu Wei and covered their mouths with shy smiles.
The two widowed sisters-in-law watched with envy.
Zhen Mi, who had been looking down, also raised her head, looking at Liu Wei with a mixture of anticipation and worry.
She hoped that Liu Wei would firmly say he would marry her on the spot, but she was worried about how to deal with it if Liu Wei said he wanted everything.
Looking at the five beautiful women, one has to admit that they were born of the same mother. Zhen Mi was stunningly beautiful, and her four older sisters were not far behind!
Children make choices; adults want it all!
Zhang and the five Zhen sisters were all eagerly awaiting Liu Wei's words.
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam Zhen. The foreign tribes have not yet been destroyed. How can I think of a family?" Liu Wei replied generously, "I have not yet considered matters of personal feelings."
He blushed at the thought of saying such a thing.
But in order to show off in front of the Zhen family, he lied against his conscience.
In fact, Zhang's statement already constituted her approval of him.
As long as he proposed to marry someone, Zhang would basically agree.
However, we now need to incorporate the Yanshan Army and recruit Zhao Yun; there are many important matters to attend to.
If they were to be formally married, then premarital sex was out of the question, let alone the idea of winning over Zhen Mi.
Anyway, things have already progressed quite a bit. Zhen Mi has already fallen for him, so it would be better to withdraw at the right time. This would make Zhen Mi even more unforgettable to him.
Therefore, when faced with Zhang's proposal to marry off her daughter on the spot, Liu Wei decisively chose to politely decline for the time being.
Once the matter in Youzhou is settled, and we return in triumph, I will come back to marry her in style!
She will definitely be moved to tears and overflow with love.
Sure enough, these words made Zhen Mi's eyes light up, and she was greatly shocked.
If it were any other man, upon hearing Zhang's words, he would have been overjoyed and forgotten his original intentions.
Liu Wei never forgot his great responsibility to the world and was determined to expel the foreign tribes—how noble of him!
For a moment, Zhen Mi felt ashamed. If she let Liu Wei be bound by romantic feelings, wouldn't that be a sin?
Liu Wei initially said he wanted to marry her, but now he says he's not considering marriage. What is he thinking?
Zhen Mi was also in a state of utter confusion.
When Zhang and the four Zhen sisters heard that Liu Wei was not considering marriage, their faces were filled with disappointment.
However, Liu Wei added, "Madam Zhen has five other daughters. I am fortunate to have met them today! I also have something I wish to ask for. I will definitely visit your residence again after I return from Youzhou!"
Immediately, Zhang and the five beauties of the Zhen family were filled with anticipation again.
Liu Wei mounted his horse, and with only his sword, he rode away gracefully, watched by the eight women of the Zhen family.
His shadow, running in the sunset, stretched longer and longer, much like their restless youth!
Only after Liu Wei's figure disappeared on the official road did they reluctantly return to the village.
What follows must be a torment of lovesickness every night!
