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

"My lord, isn't what we're doing a bit inappropriate?"

The restaurant is on the third floor.

Watching Zhao Yun walk out of the restaurant, looking utterly dejected.

Liao Hua's lips twitched violently.

That's right, everything said before was at the instigation of Zhou Heng.

Seven parts truth and three parts falsehood.

It really happened in Xuzhou.

It's fake, specifically the part about Mi Zhu.

Of course, it's not exactly fake either.

When Liu Bei learned that Mi Zhu had defected to Zhou Heng, he did indeed have murderous intent.

Mi Zhu and Liu Bei were well aware of this matter.

It just hasn't been implemented yet.

He was attracted by Mi Zhu's offer.

Even if Zhao Yun used these words to question Liu Bei.

Liu Bei dared not refute it.

Because he did indeed have that intention.

"What's wrong with that? Did we deliberately fabricate stories about Liu Bei? We were just telling the truth."

Zhou Heng said calmly.

That being said, but.........

Liao Hua hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"There are no buts. You must remember one thing: mercy to the enemy is cruelty to yourself."

"Whether on the battlefield or in other aspects."

"Although Zhao Yun did not acknowledge Liu Bei as his lord."

"He had a deep friendship with Liu Bei."

"If the fixed impression of Liu Bei in his mind is not broken, the other party will never defect to another."

"And I am determined to have this person."

Zhou Heng said calmly.

Zhou Heng never considered himself a good person.

Especially when dealing with enemies.

From the moment Liu Bei treated him that way, the two were already enemies.

Kindness to one's enemies is cruelty to oneself.

Not to mention... he had previously schemed against Liu Bei.

The two sides were already irreconcilable enemies.

Even if the two did not have this relationship.

Zhou Heng will still do the same.

Because from the moment he decided to start his own business.

It was already destined that they would be competitors with the various feudal lords of the world.

Either you die or I die.

There is no second way to go.

If we cannot win over Zhao Yun, then what if he joins Liu Bei's side?

This is definitely not a good thing for me.

"It was my lack of foresight."

Liao Hua said with shame.

"Alright, get ready. It's time to make contact with Zhao Yun when the opportunity arises."

Zhou Heng waved his hand.

"Yes."

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

It must be said that the Mi family was merely a merchant family.

However, in terms of influence in the martial arts world, they are in no way inferior to those aristocratic families.

They are even above those powerful and influential families.

Because those powerful families basically control their own small plots of land.

Their control over their territory is indeed unmatched by any merchant family.

But it's only local.

Merchant families, on the other hand, may not be as influential as these established clans in the local area.

But that's where its strength lies.

Their influence extends throughout the entire world.

Because they want to do business.

Each place must have its own stronghold.

Goods need to be transferred.

This is why Zhou Heng was able to find Zhao Yun as soon as he entered Changshan and successfully set up this trap for him.

Because, in Changshan County alone, the Mi family had more than ten shops.

Almost every county town has its own shop.

And these are the shopkeepers who have been stationed here for many years.

It also has a considerable influence locally.

Doing business requires being shrewd and adaptable.

Asking them about many things is much faster than investigating on your own.

"Have you finished arranging the things I asked you to do before?"

Zhou Heng seemed to have thought of something and asked.

"It's been arranged."

"Zhao Yun's sister is indeed a beauty. People from all around have come to propose marriage, and they've already worn down the threshold."

"It is likely that the reason why Zhao Yun has not yet gone to join Liu Bei is because he is worried about his younger sister."

"He probably wanted to wait until his younger sister's marriage was over before joining Liu Bei."

Liao Hua nodded.

"That's good."

"There weren't any flaws left behind, were there?"

Zhou Heng asked.

"No."

"The bandits of Changshan had always coveted Zhao Yun's sister."

"We want to kidnap Zhao Yun's sister on her wedding day and make her our wife."

"We were just adding fuel to the fire."

"It has no impact whatsoever."

Liao Hua thought for a moment and then said.

"Ah."

Zhou Heng said no more.

On his first day in Changshan, he had already investigated all of Zhao Yun's information.

Zhao Yun's parents died early.

He has an older brother and a younger sister.

The elder brother's name was Zhao Feng, who was ten years older than Zhao Yun. He died four years ago from a cold.

My younger sister's name is Zhao Yu. She is six years younger than Zhao Yun and is 18 years old this year.

Zhao Yun was raised by his older brother from a young age.

He was later taken in as a disciple by the gun prodigy Tong Yuan.

His first time leaving the mountain was under the command of Gongsun Zan.

He defeated Wen Chou in thirty rounds.

He followed Gongsun Zan for several years.

Zhao Feng always kept Zhao Yu at home.

Until four years ago, after Zhao Yun's brother died.

Zhao Yun has just returned.

In principle, the mourning period is usually three years.

The reason Zhao Yun guarded the area for seven years was because of his younger sister's marriage.

If his younger sister hadn't gotten married, how could he, as her older brother, feel at ease leaving her alone at home?

Naturally, he had to arrange a good marriage for his younger sister.

Since the beginning of this year, Zhao Yun has been looking for a husband for his younger sister.

She also saved up a considerable amount of dowry.

However, after looking at several options, I wasn't particularly satisfied with any of them.

This was also a source of great anxiety for him.

Because this is the only person in the world that Zhao Yun truly cares about.

They wanted to recruit Zhao Yun.

Even if it shattered the preconceived notion of Liu Bei in his mind.

Zhou Heng had no confidence whatsoever.

Therefore, we can only find another way.

If I become Zhao Yun's brother-in-law, how can the other party still escape?

But, having said that.

But when it comes to dating, Zhou Heng is really not good at it.

In my previous life, I was a complete single person, and even in this life, I have no experience in dating.

Mi Zhenna is completely a fraud.

However, dating is not an option.

But Zhou Heng still understood the tricks.

There's a saying that goes, "True feelings often don't last, only tricks win people's hearts."

Therefore, after learning that Zhao Yun had a younger sister.

Zhou Heng had been keeping his eyes on his sister.

Finally... a couple of days ago, he finally received some news.

Zhao Yun's younger sister was as beautiful as a flower.

That's true, Zhao Yun was handsome to begin with.

He might not be the most handsome man in the Three Kingdoms period, but he could at least be ranked in the top three.

His sister couldn't possibly be ugly.

Being beautiful naturally attracts the covetousness of many.

The most notorious among them were the bandits from Changshan Mountain nearby.
