The back house of the Wang family.
Wang Huai and other members of the Wang family couldn't sleep. The whole family was shivering. Yuan Ke's soldiers and horses were patrolling outside, which made them afraid to breathe.
The whole family was in panic all day long.
"Master, you gave Lan'er to Yuan Ke, what about [Ningbei Hou] Young Master Liu Jiang?"
"Lan'er is engaged to that young master Liu Jiang."
"Now, we are regretting our marriage."
"Then the Liu family is not easy to mess with either."
Wang Huai's wife Yang said.
"Can Ningbeihou be compared with Da Sima? What is he? Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, he [Ningbeihou] is also a silver-like wax spear head, useless."
"If he has the ability, why doesn't he come to save our Wang family?"
"Let us be bullied by Yuan Ke?"
"Now, Yuan Ke can decide the life and death of our Wang family. Only by giving Lan'er to Yuan Ke can our family have a way to survive."
"Understand?"
Wang Huai couldn't help shouting loudly.
"Everything is up to you, master."
Yang also understood this truth and did not continue to argue. She understood that her master was in a very bad mood now.
Not only did he give his precious daughter to Yuan Ke to sleep with him, but now he also transferred all the land and property of the Wang family to Yuan Ke. From then on, the Wang family had nothing and was completely reduced to Yuan Ke's vassal family.
Wang Huai looked at the soldiers patrolling back and forth outside the window and the small building not far away where the candles had just been extinguished. He understood that his precious daughter had finally been harmed by Yuan Ke.
"I'm incompetent."
He blames himself quite a lot.
At this time, someone quietly passed by in disguise and broke in unnoticed.
He avoided the guards and came to the back house where Wang Huai and the others were.
Dressed in night clothes.
When he just broke into the main house, everyone in the Wang family immediately shouted loudly.
"who?"
It was also Wang Huai who had good eyesight and instantly discovered the other party's identity.
"Shut up, everyone!"
After that, everyone in the Wang family stopped shouting.
They just happened to see the person coming, and it turned out to be [Ningbei Hou] Liu Jiang, who also had a knife in his hand.
"Little Marquis, why are you here?"
Wang Huai couldn't help asking nervously.
But at this time, he was a little panicked, fearing that the other party would be cruel to them after hearing that he gave Wang Lan to Yuan Ke.
After all, Liu Jiang is also a martial artist.
Yang and other Wang family members also became nervous.
They are also worried that Liu Jiang will act randomly.
"Master-in-law, I heard that this bastard Yuan Ke just killed Uncle Wang Xuan's family and came to harm you again, so I came to take a look."
"Huh?"
"Where's Lan'er? Is she okay?"
Liu Jiang asked.
"Little Marquis, Lan'er is resting in the side courtyard."
"She was a little shaken."
Wang Huai just found any reason to prevaricate the other party.
But when Liu Jiang heard this, he immediately said anxiously: "I, I will go see her now."
"Little Marquis, my daughter has rested and it is not suitable to see people. Please wait for another day."
Wang Huai knew that he could not let Liu Jiang see Wang Lan at this time, otherwise, there would be big trouble.
After he finished speaking, he winked at Yang.
Yang on the side immediately understood and whispered to Liu Jiang: "Yes, little Marquis, my Lan'er has just rested, so it's better not to disturb her."
"Oh well!"
When Liu Jiang heard this, he did not persist.
After that, he looked at Wang Huai.
"Uncle, I wonder if that traitor Yuan Ke has caused trouble for your Wang family? My three thousand soldiers and horses are outside the city. I will find an opportunity to rescue you."
Liu Jiang raised his sword and spoke.
"Oh, little Marquis, I thank you for your kindness, but you are a member of the royal family and have a distinguished status. You cannot take risks easily. Do you understand?"
"As for my Wang family's affairs, I will take care of them myself."
Wang Huai was somewhat moved, but he understood that no matter how good Liu Jiang was, his daughter could only marry Yuan Ke.
After all, Liu Jiang only had 3,000 people, but Yuan Ke commanded an army of hundreds of thousands, which shocked the world.
Sometimes, reality is so cruel.
"Master, this servant has just sent the second young lady to Da Sima's residence. Now they have gone to bed."
At this time, a maid responsible for escorting Wang Lan came over and answered.
Just her words immediately made the atmosphere in the main room tense.
"What? Uncle, why did Lan'er go to sleep with that thief Yuan Ke? Why? You, you were all lying to me just now? Why?"
When Liu Jiang heard this, he immediately became furious.
"Little Marquis, this, this..."
"Everything was done by Yuan Ke. I, we have no right to resist. Yuan Ke fell in love with Lan'er's beauty, and I, I have no ability to resist."
"If we don't listen to Yuan Ke, he will kill our whole family."
"Little Marquis, you have to understand our difficulties. Now, the deal is done. We still have to learn to move forward. You, you go back immediately and don't alarm anyone. Otherwise, even your father, King Yu, will be implicated." .”
"As for your engagement with my little girl, let's just let it go."
"Yuan Ke is not easy to mess with."
Wang Huai's acting skills are superb, and he throws all the mistakes on Yuan Ke.
"Yes, little Marquis, now Yuan Ke has strong soldiers and horses, and his power is overwhelming. Our arms can't twist his thighs. We should bow our heads when we should, and we can't fight with him. Otherwise, we will all suffer."
Yang also advised Liu Jiang.
"me--"
Although Liu Jiang hated Yuan Ke with a passion, he also understood that what Wang Huai and Yang said was not unreasonable.
At this time, Wang Huaiyi came in.
"Home, head of the family, something serious has happened."
He came uninvited, and as soon as he came in, he found Liu Jiang, the Marquis of Ningbei, but he didn't say anything, knowing that letting Yuan Ke know that Liu Jiang was here at this time would cause complications.
"What happened again?"
Wang Huai asked.
"Master!"
"I just received news that the war in Luoyang has ended. The eighteen princes were defeated without a fight."
"Yuan Ke's general Chen Qingzhi took the initiative and defeated the Changsha army, killing tens of thousands of enemies. Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, was defeated and surrendered. Now he is being taken to Chang'an for trial."
"Bohai Governor Yuan Shao led his army into Jizhou and started a war with Han Fu."
"Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang, seems to have also sent troops to take over Shouchun and Changsha, and his power has increased greatly. However, Liu Biao of Jingzhou seems to be dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's move south, and has already sent troops to declare war on Yuan Shu."
"Gongsun Zan also started a war and sent troops into the territory of Qingzhou. Kong Rong of Beihai County also sent troops to fight in order to protect himself."
"Liu Bei garrisoned Xiaopei."
"As for Cao Cao now sitting in Chenliu, Yuan Ke used the emperor's edict to prove that he colluded with the palace servants to bring trouble to the world. He is also besieged on all sides. The governor of Yuzhou has led his army to attack Cao Cao."
"Now, the world is in chaos."
Although Wang Huaiyi was uneducated and incompetent, he secretly made friends with many heroes from all over the world. Through these people, he could obtain a lot of information.
"What? How could this happen?"
Wang Huai was shocked when he heard this.
How could the eighteen princes, who claimed to have a million-strong army, be defeated without a fight?
It's all child's play.
"Master, Yuan Ke has achieved great success. Many of my friends in Luoyang have just sent me messages telling me that in this battle, Chen Qingzhi held 30,000 heavy armored cavalry and penetrated the 50,000 Changsha Army camp with an invincible attitude. He was killed and defeated, and finally Sun Jian had to surrender to the imperial court."
"Now, just on the front line of Luoyang, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Yuan Ke's command."
"His power is really powerful."
Wang Huaiyi preached rather fearfully.
"What? So, our Wang family will never get ahead, and we can only surrender to Yuan Ke forever, listen to his breath, and listen to his orders?"
Wang Huai said helplessly.
"Master, we must learn to bow our heads in the face of reality."
Wang Huaiyi said.
"Uncle, you were right just now."
"This is the end of my engagement with Lan'er."
"I'll take my leave now."
Liu Jiang, who was on one side, was also quite fearful when he heard this. He did not expect that the Eighteenth Route Princes were coming with such force, claiming to be a million-strong army, but in the end, it would end like this.
He knew that he couldn't be impulsive. Firstly, he couldn't kill Yuan Ke. Secondly, the deal was done. Now that Wang Lan had become Yuan Ke's woman, it would be useless for him to fight.
"Little Marquis, little..."
Before Wang Huai could say a few words to persuade him, Liu Jiang had already disappeared into the night.
This boy is a decisive person.
He is also the son of a prince. He is not an infatuated novice. He clearly understands what survival is.
Wang Lan is a beauty, but she also has a life to enjoy.
If Wang Lan and Yuan Ke were enemies and the family was destroyed, this was not what he wanted.
He doesn't want to die.
"call--"
As soon as he left, Wang Huai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huaiyi, is what you just said true?"
"Master, it is absolutely true that Yuan Ke is powerful. For our current plan, we can only surrender under his command in order to survive. Now that the second lady is Yuan Ke's woman, it is also an opportunity for our Wang family to survive."
"We cannot miss this opportunity."
When Wang Huaiyi first heard the news, he was extremely surprised.
He also didn't expect that Yuan Ke's secret accumulation of power was so powerful.
Looking at the world, among the many princes, Yuan Ke is the most powerful. In the future, it is not impossible for Yuan Ke to stand on his own behalf on behalf of the Han Dynasty.
After all, Yuan Ke is too young.
