Hearing Liu Wei speak so bluntly, Madam Zhen's face turned pale.

She was completely at a loss and could only order the servants to tie Yuan Xi up.

Xu You was kicked over by Liu Wei, and he grimaced in pain.

At this time, Yuan Xi was in someone else's hands. Even though he had guards and cavalry around him, Xu You dared not make a move.

If he angered someone, the other party would kill Yuan Xi with a single blow.

Even if Xu You was Yuan Shao's closest friend and relative, he could not escape punishment.

"Release our young master, and everything will be fine!"

Xu You wanted to use his silver tongue to negotiate with the other party, saying, "We won't get married, as long as you release our young master, everything will be fine!"

"Heh, you can release your young master, but you'll have to call Yuan Shao himself!" Liu Wei said coldly.

“Brave warrior, you may tell me what you need!” Xu You continued, “I am a classmate and friend of Governor Yuan.”

"I told you, you're not worthy!"

Liu Wei didn't even glance at him.

Xu You's face turned pale, his pride shattered!

Yuan Xi was suddenly slapped by Liu Wei, leaving him completely bewildered.

No one had ever dared to humiliate him like that since he was a child.

This man, who called himself Yang Wei of Zhuojun, completely disregarded the fact that he was the beloved son of the governor of Jizhou. In front of so many people, including the women of the Zhen family, he slapped him. What a disgrace!

If the other party wants to talk to his father, then we won't kill him for the time being!

But his face was already contorted, and he swore a vicious oath in his heart that as long as he could leave this place, he would make the person who hit him, as well as everyone in Zhenjiazhuang, even the cats and dogs here, pay the heaviest price.

Seeing that Xu You was still trying to talk to the other party on his own initiative, Yuan Xi was furious and shouted, "Xu You, stop making a fool of yourself here! Go back to Julu and report to my father!"

What!

Yuan Shao is in Julu, which is another important piece of information.

It seems that Yuan Shao not only arranged for Yuan Xi to bring Xu You and Han Meng to prepare to attack Gao Lan, but he also stationed himself in Julu. It seems that his goal is not limited to this!

When Yuan Xi addressed Xu You by his given name, his face immediately turned pale and then flushed.

He didn't say anything, but ordered the soldiers to carry away Han Meng's body, along with all the precious gold, silver, cloth, and pearls, which were all taken away in an instant.

Zhenjiazhuang has temporarily returned to peace.

However, Madam Zhen and her family members were inwardly in turmoil.

Liu Wei's actions of killing the enemy general and kidnapping Yuan Xi, seemingly forcing Xu You and the Jizhou army to retreat, had already sown the seeds of a huge hidden danger.

Even if Yuan Shao comes in the future, agrees to Liu Wei's conditions, successfully negotiates peace, and releases Yuan Xi.

However, the Zhen family had already offended Yuan Xi and Yuan Shao, and they certainly couldn't stay in Wuji County, Zhongshan State.

"What should we do, Mother!" Zhen Yao was already in a panic, never expecting Liu Wei to go to such lengths!

He, a mere military commander of Youzhou, actually kidnapped the second son of the governor of Jizhou and demanded that Yuan Shao come to negotiate in person.

What should we talk about?

What does he want?

Could it be that he wants to become the governor of Ji Province?

"What else can we do? Things have come to this point. I'm sure your father has already received the news and is rushing back."

"Everything will be alright as long as he comes back."

"After all, he can bring up that Han prince."

"I estimate that by then, the grudges and conflicts between the Han prince and the Yuan family, and between Youzhou and Jizhou, will have freed us from them."

Madam Zhen took a deep breath.

The four older sisters of the Zhen family had no opinions of their own and did not know what to do, so they could only watch and wait.

However, they worried that Liu Wei's outspokenness would only strengthen Zhen Mi's resolve to elope with this young man from Zhuojun.

Once Liu Wei and Zhen Mi leave, they can't hide forever.

The Zhen family estate was obviously impossible to move, and soon Yuan Shao came to question them and demand their people, leaving them unable to take care of themselves.

If things continue like this, it's uncertain whether the four sisters' dreams of becoming imperial consorts will ever come true.

The two widowed women, however, looked at Liu Wei with eyes full of admiration.

Unfortunately, this person only loved Zhen Mi.

However, they also knew that the Zhen family had offended Yuan Shao this time and was about to face a great disaster.

Take this opportunity to break away from the Zhen family as soon as possible.

If this young hero were to take Zhen Mi to a distant land, they would certainly follow, even if it meant serving as servants or maids by his side.

As long as you can be together, feelings can develop over time, and there will always be a chance.

Even if Zhen Mi is wonderful, there will be times when people get tired of her. It's good to change things up occasionally. I believe this young master is a man of strong character who doesn't care about trivial matters.

The two widowed sisters-in-law became more and more excited as they thought about it, and quietly went back to their room to pack their things, ready to run away at any time.

However, Zhen Mi was consumed by self-blame.

His actions just now caused Liu Wei to misunderstand, thinking that he was asking Liu Wei to stand up for him.

Little did anyone know that Liu Wei would act with swift and decisive methods, killing and arresting people in one fell swoop.

With the entire Zhen family consisting of women, and the frail young master Zhen Yao, who could possibly stop Liu Wei's arrogant actions?

Zhen Mi had already made up her mind to choose Liu Wei and not become the prince's consort, which would only offend one side.

Now Liu Wei's arrest and murder have offended Yuan Shao of Ji Province, causing the Zhen family to offend him as well.

The Zhen family is now caught in the middle, suffering from both sides.

She never expected things to develop to this point; it was completely beyond her expectations.

But things had long since slipped out of the Zhen family's control, leaving them with no choice but to let Liu Wei make the arrangements.

The members of the Zhen family each had their own thoughts, which Liu Wei observed with indifference.

Now that things have come to this, I've essentially driven the Zhen family to their doom.

Zhen Mi was sincere to him, and he also understood the true thoughts of everyone else in the Zhen family, so there was no need for him to hide his identity any longer.
