Everyone got up and rushed out of the living room.
Flames were seen shooting into the sky over the pond in the backyard, crackling and popping, and people were running around everywhere.
Upon seeing this, Yang Xun hurriedly asked those around him, "What exactly happened?"
"Reporting to the Master, this is the young master's room."
"Oh dear, put out the fire!" Yang Xun stamped his foot. "Where is the young master? Have you seen him?"
"I haven't seen it!"
The servant who had just been summoned by Yang Xun to bring Yang Gun to see Liu Wei answered.
"Could it be..." Yang Xun clapped his hands and shouted, "Quickly, go save them!"
The Yang family was in complete chaos.
Looking at the chaotic scene, Liu Wei couldn't help but admire Shen Lian's ability to handle the aftermath, managing to create such a commotion.
I thought he would just take the body out and bury it somewhere and that would be the end of it.
Unexpectedly, Shen Lian started a fire.
However, this is for the best. It destroys the evidence and makes Yang Xun's family believe that Yang Gun accidentally started the fire, which led to this situation.
“Mr. Yang, I never expected to encounter such a disaster. Commander Wang, quickly send the Imperial Guard to help with the firefighting.”
Liu Wei said hypocritically.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Yang Xun was moved to tears. "I'm sorry to have disturbed Your Highness. Please go back to your room and rest."
"Well, I don't think I can be of much help. Commander Wang, you and the guard battalion must follow Mr. Yang's instructions and do your best to put out the fire."
Here you go!
Wang Fangyi turned around and went outside the village to gather troops.
Liu Wei left the lobby and returned to his guest room.
"My lord!"
On the road, a ghost-like shadow silently approached.
"Commander Shen, you've gone too far with this! You've actually started a fire!" Liu Wei asked.
"My lord, time is too short, but setting it on fire is the most effective way."
Liu Wei then asked, "Alright, you didn't leave any flaws, did you?"
"Rest assured, my lord, we Jinyiwei are professional at handling this matter!" Shen Lian said shamelessly.
"Alright, where did you take that woman?"
"The roads in Yangjiazhuang are complicated and it's inconvenient to get out. I took the liberty of bringing her to your guest room."
What!
Liu Wei was both amused and exasperated.
This Shen Lian actually placed that woman in Liu Wei's room. With the night long, it would be strange if something happened between a man and a woman.
“My lord, I believe that since you rescued this woman, she must be someone you have taken a liking to. I will do everything in my power to help you achieve your goal.”
Shen Lian said with a fawning expression.
"Who gave you permission to act on your own?"
Liu Wei's face immediately darkened. "Take her out of Yangjiazhuang immediately and find a place to settle her down tonight."
"My lord, please forgive me, I really have nowhere to go."
"Where is Miss Fu's room?"
"She's not one of ours, and we're worried about her."
Shen Lian answered truthfully, "She herself said that the prince agreed to take her in and let her serve him."
“That’s good too. It would be quite bad if the prince came all the way from Hetao without a single woman to serve him.”
"We men are nowhere near as meticulous as women."
Liu Wei didn't expect Shen Lian to interfere in his private life, but everything Shen Lian did was indeed for Liu Wei's benefit.
Therefore, Liu Wei could only silently accept Shen Lian's arrangements.
"This will not be allowed to happen again!"
Their loyalty to Shen Lian and others exceeded 100%; they were absolutely loyal.
If Liu Wei wanted them dead, they wouldn't even flinch.
"Go put out the fire too! Keep an eye on things and don't leave any trace."
"Rest assured, my lord."
Shen Lian bowed once more and then disappeared into the darkness.
The twenty guards outside Liu Wei's guest room, along with two members of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun.
The two groups of people took turns guarding Liu Wei's quarters.
However, using the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun as imperial guards at this moment is somewhat of a waste of their talents.
As soon as Liu Wei arrived at the guest room, the guards immediately set up a patrol every five steps and a sentry every ten steps around the area.
Two of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun jumped onto the roof, where the lights shone brightly.
Two groups of people were tasked with ensuring that Liu Wei slept soundly at night.
As soon as the door was opened, the woman named Zou Ling was already kneeling on the ground.
"I never expected to meet Your Highness, I am truly fortunate."
"This servant will help Your Highness change his clothes and prepare for your bedchamber."
The woman raised her head, her large, watery eyes looking at Liu Wei, a sight that evoked pity in anyone who saw her.
"Rise! I ask you, is your family, the Zou clan, the only one in the vicinity of Hongnong City?"
Liu Wei asked this crucial question.
“Your Highness, how do you know that my family is the only one with the surname Zou in Hongnong City? I heard from my father that we also moved here from Qingzhou.”
That's 99% certain, it's Mrs. Zou!
Two years later, Dong Zhuo seized power, and Wang Yun and Lü Bu killed Dong Zhuo. The Xiliang army fled Chang'an.
Li Jue, Guo Si, and others, following Jia Xu's advice, wreaked havoc in Chang'an, seized control of the court, and engaged in a power struggle among the four generals, killing each other in the process.
Zhang Ji, who was stationed in Hongnong, probably saw Zou's beauty and took her as his wife.
As one of the most beautiful women in the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Wei naturally wouldn't miss Hongnong when he passed through.
The hype surrounding Cai Yan earned them a chance to refresh the shop; perhaps this Madam Zou will bring some surprises too!
“Raise your head and let me see you!” Liu Wei said immediately.
Upon hearing this, Zou Ling slowly raised her head.
I wasn't looking closely in the room by the pond just now, but I thought she looked a lot like Joey Wong.
Now that I look closely, wow!
What a beautiful woman who brought ruin to the country!
Her appearance was absolutely no less than that of Diaochan and Cai Yan.
No wonder Cao Cao was willing to sacrifice his sons, nephews, beloved general Dian Wei, and the prized horse Jueying to fire this cannon!
