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

Zhou Heng made a decision quickly.

Now he can neither emulate Cao Cao nor Yuan Shao.

Then the only option is to intercept it.

There is also the Wei family of Hedong.

Their strength is also very formidable; if they could be acquired, they would become one of the four wealthiest families in the world.

There are two and a half people supporting themselves.

Why two and a half?

Because the Wei family had disagreements about their ideologies many years ago.

It was divided in two.

They are the Wei family of Chenliu and the Wei family of Hedong.

The Wei family of Chenliu now clearly supports Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao fled back to Chenliu, it was the Wei family that supported his uprising.

Even the Wei family of Hedong couldn't be too bad.

"However, the Wei family of Hedong thinks very highly of themselves. They are descendants of Wei Qing and look down on even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, let alone a nobody like themselves."

"We need to think of a good solution."

"And then there's the Zhen family. Although the Zhen family is a merchant family, their ancestors were also very prominent."

"Even now, there is still a marquis."

"However, the old master of the Zhen family, Zhen Yi, had always been in poor health and passed away many years ago."

"Now, the one in charge of the Zhen family is the eldest sister, Zhen Jiang."

"Quite skillful."

"As a woman, she not only did not cause the Zhen family to decline, but instead made it more prosperous."

"Even if I manage to snatch Zhen Mi away, it's not very realistic to expect her to support me."

"Besides, their base is in Zhongshan, which is Yuan Shao's territory."

"Supporting yourself on someone else's turf, isn't that suicide?"

"The best way is to take the entire Zhen family with us...wouldn't that mean we could pack up and take the whole Zhen family with us?"

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhou Heng's lips.

“Perfect timing. I’ll send someone to the Zhen family to purchase grain within a month. Judging by the time, they should be back in the next few days.”

"Let's see how the Zhen family reacts first."

"If all else fails, go there in person."

Zhou Heng muttered to himself.

Having clarified his future development direction, Zhou Heng felt refreshed and no longer troubled himself, so he immediately returned to his room.

He was preparing to reward his wife handsomely.

After all, he had been busy during this period, moving between Liu Bei, Lü Bu, and Yuan Shu.

He didn't come home at all yesterday.

This can be considered as neglecting the beauty.

Of course, he should give his wife a good compliment.

"Squeak."

The door was pushed open, but the inside was pitch black.

"Zhen'er, it's late now, why don't you light a lamp?"

Zhou Heng was somewhat puzzled.

According to the old rules, Mi Zhen would wait for him to come back before turning off the lights.

But now the lights are turned off early.

He was about to step forward and light the lamp.

However, before he could even begin, Mi Zhen quickly interrupted him.

“My dear husband, I want to give you a surprise today. If we light the lamps, it will lose its mystery.”

Mi Zhen said shyly.

At the same time, beside Mi Zhu, a breathtakingly beautiful woman was trembling slightly, clinging tightly to Mi Zhen.

But there seemed to be a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Who else could it be but Madam Gan?

"Oh, in that case, my husband will not light the lamp."

A smile appeared on Zhou Heng's face.

I don't know how my hobby got leaked.

This caused Mi Zhen to do all sorts of strange and unusual things, which both surprised and frustrated him.

"Husband, come quickly, I can't wait any longer."

"My husband is here."

Zhou Heng slowly walked over.

"Oh, madam, what skincare products are you using? Your complexion looks exceptionally good today."

Some moonlight shining through the window shone on her fair, jade-like skin, giving it a soft, luminous glow.

This greatly surprised Zhou Heng.

After all, although his wife's skin has always been very good, this kind of fair and glowing skin is quite different from his wife's skin.

Because the moonlight was rather weak, it only shone on the skin and not on the face.

Therefore, Zhou Heng assumed that his wife had used some skincare products that he was unaware of.

Only then can such an effect be achieved.

"Oh my, this is something my brother's caravan just brought back for me from Jingzhou. Isn't it beautiful?"

"nice."

Zhou Heng nodded seriously.

He then suppressed the pounding in his heart and instantly transformed into a vicious wolf, pouncing forward.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

"You are not my wife, so who are you?"

Zhou Heng was taken aback.

He quickly got up and ran downstairs to light the lamp.

This is like the road you walk every day.

What was originally a muddy path has suddenly become a winding little bridge.

Anyone with a normal sense of smell would be able to tell that something is wrong.

Zhou Heng was no exception.

"This humble servant, Ganlu, greets the General."

The woman seemed to realize that she could no longer hide it, so she quickly stood up and bowed gracefully to Zhou Heng.

"Ganlu, are you Liu Bei's wife?"

Zhou Heng was taken aback.

Originally, it was already shocking enough that he had snatched Liu Bei's wife, but then Liu Bei's original wife actually appeared in his room.

And it was because of himself...

This... even with his limited brain capacity, he was stunned into silence.

If Old Liu found out, he'd be furious.

“My husband is mistaken. Sister Gan has already divorced Liu Bei. She is now your woman, so how can she be Liu Bei’s wife?”

Mi Zhen, who had already been hiding to the side, smiled faintly.

"Zhen'er... how could you be so reckless?"

Zhou Heng was somewhat exasperated.

Mi Zhen, however, didn't take it to heart and instead said mischievously, "If my husband really doesn't like it, then let Sister Gan go out first?"

"you........"

Zhou Heng was speechless.

He carefully examined the beauty before him.

She wore a light pink ancient costume dress, the hem of which fluttered like smoke, and the matching ribbon tied around her waist accentuated her graceful figure.

Her long, black hair was tied up with a single white jade hairpin, with the rest falling over her shoulders. Her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and her eyes were like stars. Every glance she made revealed her gentle and charming demeanor, like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes held the beauty of autumn water, and her lips were as red as cherries without any makeup. Standing in that pavilion, she seemed like a beauty from ancient times who had traveled through time, so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off her.

Especially considering Zhou Heng's previous actions.

Now, with only a few strands of clothing on her body, her fair and jade-like skin, illuminated by the moonlight and lamplight, made her appear like a celestial being from the heavens, sacred and inviolable.

Even Zhou Heng, who was no longer the naive person he once was, couldn't help but swallow hard.

"If my husband keeps looking, his eyeballs will pop out."

Mi Zhen teased.

"Um, my name is Zhou Heng. I apologize for my rudeness to you, madam. Please forgive me."

"This is all done willingly by me, so please don't punish my sister, General."

"Mrs. Gan said shyly."

"I've done everything I could, husband, what are you still pretending for?"

Mi Zhen pursed her lips.

Then she looked at Ganlu beside her and said, "My husband is right here, what are you waiting for, sister?"

"Today, I will serve the general and help him rest."
