As soon as Liu Wei finished speaking, Yuan Xi's eyes widened, Xu You stopped stroking his beard, and Han Meng's hand reached for the sword at his waist!

"Hahaha!"

"Are you... are you here to be funny?"

"Judging from your shabby clothes, you must be some poor and down-on-his-luck young man."

"How dare you covet the beautiful and stunning Zhen family's youngest sister?"

"Madam Zhen, I thought the man your Zhen family betrothed to was some important figure, but I never expected him to be such a poor wretch!"

"This is hilarious!"

Immediately, Yuan Xi laughed so hard he almost fell over and couldn't catch his breath.

"Have you laughed enough?!"

Liu Wei stared coldly at Yuan Xi, as if he were looking at a dead man.

He only needs to get within ten steps of Yuan Xi to immediately strike, knock Han Meng away, kick Xu You over, and then capture Yuan Xi alive.

With these three people in custody, the other side became hesitant to act and dared not come back.

Then, once Yuan Shao finds out, he will definitely send someone to negotiate.

Through this back and forth, Gao Lan and Zhang He were able to take necessary precautions.

At the same time, Liu Wei could also use the Embroidered Uniform Guard to send a message to transfer Li Su's 5,000 archers from Youzhou to the border between Zhongshan State and Zhuojun to make a show of force.

Yuan Shao would inevitably shift his attention to the border, thereby relieving Gao Lan's pressure.

Finally, Liu Wei took Yuan Xi and the other two to Yuan Shao to negotiate a ransom.

He had done this to He Jin back in Luoyang.

They kidnapped He Yong, He Miao, Xun You, and others, and demanded a large amount of gold from He Jin.

"Haha, I admire your courage. Do you know who I am?" Yuan Xi's face turned cold.

"Who doesn't know Yuan Benchu's second son? I heard you also like to peep at your sister-in-law while she's taking a bath. I never expected that!"

Liu Wei smiled and spoke slowly.

He just casually mentioned peeping at someone taking a shower; who knows if he actually did!

What!

Yuan Xi jumped up immediately, like a lizard whose tail had been stepped on.

I can't believe he actually took it seriously!

He had spied on his sister-in-law while she was taking a bath many times.

But how could anyone possibly know about such a sordid affair?

Why would this person say it in front of so many people?!

Yuan Xi's face was as black as ink, and he stammered, "You...you're talking nonsense! I didn't peep on...my sister-in-law taking a bath!"

His awkward situation made the Zhen family members cover their mouths and laugh.

The people Yuan Xi brought also suppressed their laughter and silently enjoyed this juicy gossip!

The second young master only peeked at the eldest young master's wife taking a bath. Couldn't something else have happened between them?

Feeling guilty, Yuan Xi inadvertently fell into a self-defense trap. Realizing this, he immediately shouted angrily, "Who...who exactly are you? Are you tired of living?"

"Yang Wei of Zhuojun, an unknown nobody!"

Liu Wei remained calm and composed, and unconsciously took two steps forward.

Upon hearing the name Liu Wei mentioned, they realized they had never heard of him before and he was indeed an unknown person.

What kind of person dares to try and steal his woman?

Yuan Xi's eyes turned cold, and he shouted, "General Han, cut off his head and shut him up forever!"

These words drew gasps of surprise from the Zhen family.

I didn't expect them to start using knives so soon. But the patriarch, Zhen Yi, isn't here. What should we do?

If Yuan Xi kills this young man from Zhuojun, he will definitely tell the Zhen family that the man betrothed to Zhen Mi is dead. Does that mean he agrees to the marriage with Yuan Xi?

A hooligan isn't scary; what's scary is a hooligan who talks about being cultured!

By then, the Zhen family will have no choice but to agree, even if they don't want to!

However, if this person were to injure Yuan Xi, it would be an even greater disaster.

With his beloved son injured, how could Yuan Shao let the matter rest?

It's really a dilemma!

It is estimated that if the Zhen family wants to escape unscathed this time, they will probably have to move the entire family to Youzhou to seek refuge!

That old geezer, of all times he had to leave, why now? He was destined to die young!

Madam Zhen was already cursing Zhen Yi to the bone in her heart.

Han Meng, who had been waiting impatiently, drew his sword with a clang and walked over with a sinister grin, saying:

"Boy, do you want to test the sharpness of my sword?"

"My blade is never dull!"

Liu Wei was surprised that Han Meng had taken the initiative to provoke him. With lightning speed, he flew to Han Meng's side in one leap.

Bang!

With a clang of metal on metal, Liu Wei and Han Meng exchanged blows in a flash, then gracefully drew their swords, slashed, and sheathed them.

A flash of light, and the whole thing was done in one swift motion.

The air froze.

The sword in Han Meng's hand had broken into two pieces, with very neat nicks.

He stood motionless, holding the broken sword, his face filled with disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, a thin line of blood beads appeared on his neck, which grew thicker and thicker.

Suddenly, blood gushed out like a fountain.

Han Meng clutched his neck, making muffled noises, before his tall body swayed and crashed to the ground.

Fresh blood immediately flowed from below his neck, covering the ground in a pool of red silk, which contrasted sharply with the red silk cloth wrapped around the load that Yuan Xi had sent.

this....

Yuan Xi stood there, stunned, his face filled with disbelief.

Han Meng is the middle halberd of the Hebei Trident, isn't he?

He was killed in just one round.

"Young master, retreat quickly!"

Seeing that Liu Wei was now exactly ten steps away from Yuan Xi, and that Liu Wei had just killed Han Meng also within ten steps, Xu You immediately realized the danger and quickly pulled Yuan Xi away.

However, Xu You was too late; Liu Wei had already made his move.

Bang!

Xu You was kicked hard, while Yuan Xi, with a knife to his neck held by Liu Wei, dared not move.
