Guan Yu immediately rebuked Zhang Fei, "Brother, we will be going on a campaign with our lord tomorrow. What do you think Yide and I should do?"

Liu Bei suddenly said leisurely, "Doesn't my lord know that Bo Gui is my beloved friend, fellow student, and classmate?"

"You two tell the lord for me that you two can beat Bo Gui, but you'll have to...pay more!"

What!

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tian Yu, and Qian Zhao, who were present, were all taken aback.

......

Two days later.

Zhenjiazhuang, Wuji County.

Zhen Yi returned home in high spirits, only to be shocked to learn that the Black Mountain Army had come to demand grain and that Zhen Yao had been wounded.

Then, upon hearing Madam Zhen mention that a chivalrous man from Zhuojun named Yang Wei had passed by and had cleverly defeated the Black Mountain Army, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask why he hadn't given him more money as a reward.

"Mi'er was captivated by his heroic spirit and fell in love with him, wanting to repay him with her own life. She was just waiting for him to return from Youzhou after fighting the enemy and achieving great deeds so he could come and marry her!"

"Jiang'er, Tuo'er, Dao'er, and Rong'er also want to marry him!"

“Both of us widowed daughters-in-law were also tempted.”

Madam Zhen then brought up the matter, thinking that Zhen Yi would definitely agree.

What!

Zhen Yi jumped up excitedly, slapped the teacup over, and roared in fury:

“I’m the one who calls the shots in this house! How can you make such a decision without my permission while I’m not home, and marry our daughter off to a commoner of unknown origin?”

"And there were five of them!"

"Old woman, have you lost your mind? Believe me or not, I'll divorce you right now!"

"Husband, what... what's wrong with you! Being born into poverty is not a disgrace. I see that young hero is handsome and skilled. He will surely be ennobled and appointed as a general one day after going to Youzhou to fight the enemy!"

Madam Zhen, angered by Zhen Yi's outburst, quickly explained, "If he were to become the son-in-law of our Zhen family, it would be a match made in heaven!"

"Riding a dragon my ass!"

Zhen Yi cursed, "Old woman, do you know who I've already betrothed our daughter to in Fanyang?"

Who is it?

"The Prince of Yunzhong, General Zhenbei, who commands the Hetao, Henan, and Hexi regions, and oversees the northern deserts and the Western Regions, is the great Han prince!"

Zhen Yi stamped his foot and said, "This marriage was secured by me spending ten million in money and ten thousand shi of grain!"

"If he finds out that our Zhen family has already betrothed our daughter to a commoner, he will be so angry that the Zhen family will be wiped out."

What!

Madam Zhen was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. After a long while, she murmured, "Husband, what should we do?"

"Summon Jiang'er, Tuo'er, Dao'er, Rong'er, and Mi'er. Tell them that if they want to marry into the royal family, from now on they are not allowed to mention anything about that commoner named Yang Wei!"

Zhen Yi said sternly.

"My lord, I...I'll go right now!" Madam Zhen staggered as she walked.

Oh my god!

The young hero can forget about his daughter becoming a prince's consort!

"Father, Mother!"

"I will never marry into the royal family!"

Before Madam Zhen had even stepped out of the door, a clear, melodious, and resolute voice came from outside.
