Your Majesty, please spare Diao Chan; your yang energy is too strong.

Moreover, Mi Zhen was just a weak woman.

He had previously fought a battle with Zhang Liao's subordinates.

In less than half an hour, everyone was exhausted.

Mi Zhu naturally understood this principle as well.

The reason I said that was to mislead Zhang Liao, to make him think that he couldn't catch up and give up the pursuit.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao was not the kind of person who was brave but lacked strategy.

However, his ulterior motives were immediately apparent.

She even had the leisure to stop and chat with him.

This shows how confident he is in himself.

............

At this time, it was ten miles outside Xuzhou City.

Over a hundred people are resting here; who else could they be but members of the Mi family?

In fact, the Mi family's guard strength was in no way inferior to that of those aristocratic families.

He was, after all, a very wealthy man in the Han Dynasty, and the richest man in Xuzhou.

The number of servants and guards they could support was countless, totaling no less than several thousand.

But, after all, he had never been on the battlefield.

In addition, due to their hasty escape, they had no time to gather all the people in the mansion.

There was another big battle before.

His guard force was basically wiped out.

Only one or two have managed to escape so far.

Even so, everyone was injured.

In fact, if Lü Bu hadn't just rebelled and hadn't completely taken control of the entire Xuzhou city, it would have been even more difficult.

Whether they can escape is still an unknown.

So, after leaving Xuzhou, he could no longer hold on and could only sit down by the roadside to rest.

"Now that we've escaped ten miles beyond Xuzhou, I suppose Lü Bu won't be chasing us!"

Mi Fang breathed a sigh of relief when she realized she hadn't seen the pursuers behind her.

"Probably not. Lu Bu has just taken control of Xuzhou, so he must stabilize Xuzhou first. He shouldn't have that many troops to chase us."

Mi Zhen, who was standing nearby, said.

At this point, his expression suddenly darkened: "But elder brother..."

Mi Fang's face also darkened, but she said firmly.

"Don't worry, little sister, once we find our lord, we will definitely be able to fight our way back to Xuzhou and rescue our elder brother."

Mi Fang comforted her.

He originally wanted to comfort Mi Zhen, but his words only made her feel worse.

Mi Zhen angrily rebuked, "Second brother, are you still thinking about Liu Bei?"

Mi Fang was somewhat flustered: "Little sister, this matter is due to Lü Bu's fickleness, and it actually has little to do with our lord?"

Mi Zhen: "How can it not be related? If you ask me, we have to blame Liu Bei for how we ended up in this situation."

Mi Fang was at a loss: "Little sister, what nonsense are you talking about? This is clearly Lu Bu's fickleness, what does it have to do with our lord?"

Clearly, even at this point...

Mi Fang still preferred Liu Bei.

In his view, Liu Bei was the one who could truly lead the Mi family to a leap in social status.

Mi Zhen said coldly, "How can it be nothing? If he hadn't ignored his elder brother and Heng-ge's advice, how could he have suffered such a defeat today?"

Mi Fang lacked confidence: "That only shows that our lord is benevolent and cannot bear to doubt our alliance."

Mi Zhen scoffed: "Mercy? I think it's clearly hypocrisy. He just wants to use Lü Bu to deal with Cao Cao. He says it so nicely. It's ridiculous."

Mi Fang was speechless: "You..."

Mi Zhen: "Isn't that right? Second brother, wake up! Do you really think Liu Bei cares about you that much? He's only after our Mi family's wealth. If our Mi family didn't have so much wealth, would he even know who you are?"

"If he really cared about us, how could he not listen to his elder brother?"

"If he really cared about us, why wouldn't he have informed us when Zhang Fei fled?"

"This has led to the disaster we face today."

"I think he clearly doesn't take us seriously; he just sees us as his money bags."

"How long are you going to be so stubborn?"

"Do you really think that by marrying me to him, you will be able to compare to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?"

"What about Madam Gan? She's been with him for so many years, and he just abandoned her like that?"

"Now it has fallen into Lü Bu's hands again."

"Even if I were to marry him, would my future be any better than Mrs. Gan's?"

"Are you truly satisfied only when you lead our Mi family down a path of utter ruin?"

“Now my elder brother has been ruined by him to this extent, and our Mi family has also fallen into such a state.”

What are you still hesitating about?

Mi Zhen said with disappointment and frustration.

"I........."

Mi Fang was speechless.

For the first time, a sense of confusion arose in my heart.

Are you really wrong?

"Miss Mi is right. Liu Bei is actually just a hypocrite."

"I think, Mi Fang, Miss Mi, you should stop thinking about joining Liu Bei. You should follow our lord and serve him."

"My lord's character, while I wouldn't dare say he's a good man, is at least a true villain."

"Isn't it better than following a hypocrite?"

Just now.

Suddenly, a faint voice sounded behind them.

Then, countless iron cavalrymen came galloping from afar.

Who else could be the leader but Zhang Liao?

"Zhang Liao."

Mi Fang's expression changed drastically.

Having served under Liu Bei, he was quite familiar with several of Lü Bu's key generals.

"It's over."

Mi Zhu, pinned behind several soldiers, looked at the scene before him and painfully closed his eyes.

Despite all his careful planning, he was still caught up by Zhang Liao.

"Big brother........."

At this moment, the Mi siblings also noticed that Mi Zhu had suddenly lost his voice.

"Haha, sir, I told you we would work together sooner or later."

"Now, sir, what do you intend to do next?"

“I admire your spirit of dying for the Lord, but if you don’t think about yourself, you should at least think about your brothers and sisters.”

Zhang Liao glanced at Mi Zhu and said calmly.

"Haha, Wen Yuan is right. After all, you wouldn't want to see your younger brother and sister die in front of you, would you?"

Hou Cheng also laughed loudly.

"you........"

Mi Zhu was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

"What? You don't want to? If you don't want to, then you're not one of us."

"Since that's the case..."

Hou Cheng's gaze toward Mi Zhen held a strange meaning.

"Hey pretty girl, not bad looking. Want to have some fun with us guys later?"

As Hou Cheng spoke, he reached out to touch Mi Zhen's face.

Mi Zhen was furious and slapped his hand away: "Get out of my way."

"Stop, let her go."

Mi Zhu roared in anger.

Even Zhang Liao frowned slightly.

He clearly despised those who bullied the weak.

"Hou Cheng, stop! Our lord still needs the Mi family to stabilize the situation in Xuzhou. We can't let you run wild."

Hou Cheng sneered: "Isn't it because he hasn't agreed yet? Since he hasn't agreed, he's the enemy. What mercy is there to show to an enemy?"
