In the midst of the chaos, Xu Ding waved his pouncing blade and killed the fleeing bandits everywhere. Soon, he led his clansmen to kill more than a hundred bandits.
Dian Wei didn't stay idle either. He walked up to the bald man and pulled out his iron halberd. He rushed into the crowd again and continued his massacre.
"Zhongkang, it's time. Let's go down.”Yuan Shao looked at the bandits who were mostly killed and said to Xu Chu with relief.
"Yes. Please let Chu go first. My lord, please follow behind Chu.”Xu Chu brandished his nine-eared, eight-ringed elephant trunk knife and urged his body to get off the white stone and move forward.
"Good! Go!" Yuan Shao followed closely behind, waving his horsewhip.
"My lord, it is all thanks to Commander Dian's bravery that I dare not claim credit.”Xu Ding saw that Yuan Shao and Xu Chu had come down, and he quickly rode his horse forward.
"Brother Dian is indeed worthy.”Xu Chu looked at the corpses around him with admiration.
"Hey! Zhongkang, you don't have to be discouraged. Your bravery is not below Dian Wei's. Look, Dian Wei is back." Yuan Shao comforted Xu Chu before realizing that Dian Wei, who was covered in blood, was walking towards him.
"My lord, it was such a satisfying kill! I haven't had such a good time in a long time.”Dian Wei opened his mouth wide and laughed.
"Brother Dian, next time it's my turn. Brother Dian, you'll protect the lord?”Xu Chu quickly interrupted.
"Good! It's your turn next time." Dian Wei took the towel from Xu Ding and wiped the blood off his face.
"Good! Delightful."
"Dian Wei, are you hurt?" Yuan Shao dismounted from his horse and came in front of Dian Wei, sizing up this loyal general.
"I'm fine! They're all small fish and prawns." Dian Wei carried the black iron halberds on his back and cupped his fists at Yuan Shao.
"This…General, thank you for saving my life.”The butler had also noticed Yuan Shao, who was surrounded by several generals. With his eyes that read countless people, he already knew that this person was the person in charge.
"Oh, what's your Miss 'name?" Yuan Shao sized up the old man in front of him and went straight to the point.
"This…My family's young miss 'surname is Mi, and the eldest young master is Xu province's other driver, Mi Zhu.”The manager thought for a moment and revealed the master's information.
"So it's the wealthy Mi family of Eastern Sea. I am Yuan Shao, a lieutenant of Si Li, and Yuan Benchu. When they passed by this place, they saw injustice on the way and pulled out their swords to help!”Yuan Shao said to the steward with his hands clasped.
"So you're the Yuan family of Ruyang, the fourth generation of three dukes. I've long heard of your great name. Deacon Yuan, please!”The steward's expression changed when he heard that. He respectfully made a "please" gesture.
"Let's go together, let's go together. Xu Ding will count the number of casualties and see which of the bandits 'weapons can still be used.”When Yuan Shao left, he did not forget to inform Xu Ding.
"Yes!" Xu Ding cupped his fists and left.
Yuan Shao followed closely behind the manager, followed by Xu Chu and Dian Wei, the two bodyguards. They arrived in front of the carriage that was pulled by two white horses.
"Deacon Yuan, this is my young miss.”The steward pointed at a young woman in a red lotus cape. The woman slowly turned around. Her exquisite features and jade-white skin made her look like a fairy from a painting.
Yuan Shao was stunned, and only recovered after a long while. He bowed to him and said,""Miss Mei's beauty can topple a nation. I can't help but think of a poem, a poem…that I specially wrote for Miss Mei. Clouds think of clothes, flowers think of appearance, spring breeze blows the threshold, dew is thick. If not for the group of jade mountains to see, will meet under the moon to Yaotai.”
Mei Zhen saw Yuan Shao's dull expression and was displeased, thinking that he was another lecher. However, after listening to Yuan Shao's poem, he couldn't help but mutter to himself,""The clouds think of clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows the threshold and reveals its brilliance. If not for the group of jade mountains to see, will meet under the moon to Yaotai. This poem…was written for me, for me.”
"Good poem! Good poem! Childe Yuan, your literary talent is extraordinary, and you are good at writing and fighting. I really admire you.”Mei Zhen held her handkerchief and bowed to Yuan Shaoying.
"Miss Mei, I'm sorry to make a fool of myself. Shao is a martial artist.”Yuan Shao said humbly.
"Young Master Yuan is too modest. This poem is worthy of being written in the Hall of Elegance. Furthermore, without a good literary foundation, it is impossible to write such a poem. As a repayment, I would like to invite Young Master Yuan to Xu Prefecture's Mi Mansion to have a chat.”Mei Zhen invited.
"This…Alright then. I'll accept your offer." Yuan Shao thought that he still had a mission. Moreover, Mount Mangdang was not far from Xuzhou. Since he had saved her, he would send her home safely.
"However…Shao still has important matters to attend to and has to return to Luoyang within three days. Therefore…we must set off tonight. I hope Miss Mei can forgive us.”Yuan Shao was afraid of staying the night, so he hurriedly continued.
"That's a pity. Mei Zhen had wanted to discuss poetry with Young Master Yuan, but…it seemed like he didn't have the chance. Mei Zhen will take his leave first." After saying that, Mei Zhen boarded the carriage with the help of a servant girl.
"Beautiful! So beautiful!" Yuan Shao watched as Mei Clan's figure gradually disappeared and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"My lord, what's wrong? Are you alright?”Dian Wei, who was standing behind him, looked at Yuan Shao. His not-so-bright brain did not know why his lord was like this.
"Brother Dian, the lord has taken a fancy to him.”Xu Chu, who was beside him, nudged Dian Wei's shoulder and whispered.
"Take a fancy to her? Then wouldn't it be fine if she married him? Why go through so much trouble? Didn't I marry my wife?”Dian Wei muttered softly. Although he had deliberately suppressed his voice, he could still be heard clearly within ten meters.
Helpless! Yuan Shao was very helpless! He could only cover his face with his hands once again. The black lines on his forehead could not help but increase. He turned around and faced Dian. "Foolish fool!" You two fools!"
"It's all your fault that my lord scolded me. My lord! Wait for me!" Dian Wei glared at Xu Chu and quickly caught up to Yuan Shao.
"Brother Dian, wait for me." Xu Chu took a look and jogged to catch up.
Only the manager was left.”Her mouth was wide open, and she had an expression of disbelief. In the end, he could only sigh heavily and return to the carriage to act as the coachman.
Inside the carriage.
"Marry me? Seriously, what was I thinking?”When Mei Zhen heard Dian Wei's loud voice in the carriage, Yuan Shao's handsome and valiant figure involuntarily appeared in his mind.
"Haha! Miss was shy. She must be thinking about that Young Master Yuan. This was Mi Zhen's personal maid, Zi Xun.
"Little Xun, how dare you laugh at me? Watch how I deal with you.”Mei Zhen, whose face was red with embarrassment, pounced on him and scratched him.
"Ya! No! Miss, I know I was wrong."
"My lord, according to the statistics, there were no casualties in this battle. However, when one of them was charging, his warhorse was suddenly frightened and fell off his horse.”After Xu Ding finished counting, he rushed over to report.
"Is that so? Remember to apply medicine on that little brother. Right, let's change our route. We'll escort Miss Mei and her caravan to Xu Prefecture first. After we have a good meal in Xu Prefecture, we'll travel through the night and tell our brothers that it's been hard on them!”Yuan Shao voiced out his thoughts.
"Yes! It was their blessing that their lord was considerate of their brothers.”Xu Ding shook his head.
"Alright, let's rest for a while. We'll be leaving soon."
