The peerless grace of Youzhou women
Top women in Youzhou like Liu Buqi and Bai Jinjing have witnessed battles involving tens of thousands of people, so they don't feel much fear about the fight in front of them, which is so small in scale that it can't be any smaller.
On the contrary, they can quickly calm down in difficult situations and plan a way out. This is a survival instinct that the Taiyue women who are far away from the frontier do not have!
When Bai Jinjing was informing Shangguan Luoyang of the news, she discovered fire coming out of the master's residence.
She took advantage of the chaos to leave the yard and ran all the way back to Liu Buqi, when she bumped into Shangguan Yan's men who rushed into the yard.
Fortunately, except for a few people in the inner house, no one knew that she was Liu Buqi's maid. She was taken back to the master's residence by a large group of firefighters.
After seeing that the head of the family was safe and sound, he immediately took the opportunity of putting out the fire to sneak into the maid's room in the yard, changed into clothes, smeared black ash on his face, and mixed in with the crowd to return to Liu Buqi's yard again.
After the attack and defense of the courtyard began, seeing that his side was gradually losing the upper hand, Bai Jinjing began to think of a solution.
It would be extremely difficult for him to coerce men like the Patriarch and Shangguan Yan! Apart from them, the only person who could shake up the situation in the field was Shangguan Luoyang!
After making up his mind, he saw Shangguan Luoyang was about to hide in the rear, so he lowered his head and went to meet him.
Thanks to Liu Buqi's sharp eyes, he discovered the situation here and ordered Zhang Xiruo to counterattack the front line. The shouts of killing that reached the sky made the panicked Shangguan Luoyang put some distance between him and the nanny and maids behind him!
Bai Jinjing seized the opportunity, stepped forward quickly and pretended to support him. When they were very close, she suddenly pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Shangguan Luoyang's neck!
All this happened in a flash! Except for Liu Buqi who was watching the whole thing, everyone else was shocked!
The battlefield fell into a strange moment of silence, which was immediately broken by Shangguan Luoyang's exclamation after he encountered a sudden change!
"Ah! Who are you?"
Shangguan Luoyang, whose face was pale and seemed not to realize the situation, began to struggle violently, and the constables and yamen runners surrounding the two of them were also ready to make a move!
Bai Jinjing made a prompt decision, lifted up Luo Yang's white and tender arm, and slashed it fiercely with a dagger!
"Miss, if you move again, it will be your little face that is ashamed of itself next time!"
The cold, bloody dagger gently scratched across the delicate skin. The feeling made Shangguan Luoyang extremely frightened, but he really didn't dare to move!
"Sir Shangguan, please help me! Could you please ask these people to make way for my maid? Let the young lady come to my place and rest for a while!"
Liu Buqi's voice reached Shangguan Yan's ears! This request hit his bottom line!
Shangguan Luoyang's life is certainly important, but it is definitely not enough to threaten him to rashly release the Youzhou forces out of Lu Mansion today!
Otherwise, there would be no way to explain the past to Yue Wuji! Shangguan Yan knew better than anyone what kind of blow the Shangguan family would suffer!
But he only detained his daughter temporarily with Liu Buqi. He only needed to surround this group of people, and the situation would be on his side. Although a trapped beast fighting to the death is scary, even the sharpest fangs will be exhausted to death, starved to death, or thirsty to death!
With a wave of his hand, the constables and runners surrounding Bai Jinjing quickly opened a passage, forcing Shangguan Luoyang to cautiously cross the encirclement step by step. With the help of Zhang Xiruo who had rushed over, he finally returned to his own camp safely.
As soon as Bai Jinjing's tense nerves relaxed, she felt her legs go weak and she collapsed into the arms of Zhang Xiruo who was standing beside her.
The silly man Zhang Xiruo screamed and touched her body over and over with his big hands.
Liu Buqi looked at the scene with amusement, "Brother Xiruo, don't look for her anymore. Jin Jing is just a little too nervous, she's not injured!"
There wasn't a speck of blood on his clothes. Zhang Xiruo was a little worried and confused!
"Ah! Really? Really?" He looked down at Bai Jinjing's cheeks in his arms, which had turned red with anger and shame. Her big watery eyes were emitting a murderous vicious light!
"That damn Zhang Xiruo, he did this to me in front of so many people. I'm completely tied to his rotten boat. It's impossible to get off!"
The brief love between young men and women adds a unique touch to this battlefield.
He took out a piece of white silk from his body and gently bandaged the wound on Shangguan Luoyang's arm.
"Please forgive me, Miss Shangguan. We have to make an emergency decision. I have excellent knife wound medicine in Youzhou. I guarantee that your wound will not leave any scars."
Luo Yang looked at Liu Buqi who was bandaging his wound in a daze, with mixed feelings in his heart!
In this Jinan Prefecture, I am considered to be a top-notch woman with both talent and beauty. Wherever I go, I am always surrounded by people. Who doesn’t treat me with respect when they see me?
But the woman in front of him, who wore almost no makeup and dressed plainly, although her appearance was pretty, could definitely not be called a beauty of heaven. The demeanor revealed in her every move was something he could never match!
Whether it's his ability to compose a poem in half a step in the bookshop, his low-key demeanor in the Lu residence, the few words that Zhu Caicai said when "asking for debts", and his calmness in the face of chaos on the battlefield today!
There's probably only one word to describe the calm confidence this woman displays!
Peerless beauty!
That is a temperament that is not affected by appearance, a character that disdains the world, and an excellence that is not dependent on men!
…
Xiao Junzi brought out two armchairs from the house. Liu Buqi pulled Shangguan Luoyang to sit under the torch as if chatting, and looked at Shangguan Yan opposite with a chuckle.
The two highest decision-makers of Guannei Hou and Youzhou forces in Jinan Prefecture can finally have a frank communication!
"Madam Liu entered Quancheng alone, causing chaos everywhere! She caused countless chaos and nearly caused the Lu family to fall apart! This is truly outrageous! To maintain local peace, I have no choice but to lead the troops to eliminate them. I beg Madam's forgiveness!"
Shangguan Yan's words were obviously intended to justify his actions and to control the struggle between the two forces to the extent of disrupting the local situation.
Liu Buqi stood up, bowed slightly, and replied loudly, "Sir, I came to Jinan Prefecture to conduct legitimate business! I am also interfering in the Lu family's affairs! But you, sir, have been so persistent in forcing me to make such a big scene, and now you are blaming me for my faults?"
This dispute over name is actually a confusing matter. If both sides continue to argue, there will be no result even if they talk for three days and three nights.
"Forgive me for being so presumptuous. I just thought about several generals in Youzhou, but I really can't be sure. Is your wife the Golden Phoenix of the Gao family of Changcheng or the Zhang family of Yanjing? I wonder if you can enlighten me a little!"
Shangguan Yan's question clearly revealed his true intentions!
It was obvious that the three prefectures in urgent need of food and fodder couldn't be Taiping, Tai'an, or Taixiang! Liu Buqi could only be from one of these two families!
