Just as Wei Jian was guessing, Yuan Ji followed Mrs. Zhao into the lobby.
"Prince Yuan's great presence has made the humble house look brighter and brighter. What's the matter?"
Now that everyone has sat down, Mrs. Zhao, the host, should know the purpose of Yuan Ji's visit.
"Mrs. Zhao, just call me Shiji. The so-called Cai family has a daughter who has just grown up. Miss Cai Yan happens to be jasper. My brother Yuan Shu has not yet married. I am here to propose marriage for my brother."
As soon as Yuan Ji said this, Mrs. Zhao was prepared, but she was also shocked. The dignified Yuan Shu actually wanted to propose marriage to her and marry Cai Yan.
"Mr. Yuan, this old woman is too old to bear jokes."
Mrs. Zhao spoke again to Yuan Ji to confirm.
"It's absolutely true, I came here only to propose marriage to my brother Yuan Shu."
Yuan Ji confirmed his words to Mrs. Zhao again.
"Yan'er's marriage is a big deal. I am just a woman, and I dare not agree to Yuan Taipu's rashness. What's more, Wei Jian, the eldest son of the Wei family in Hedong, also visited a few days ago. The purpose of coming is the same as Yuan Taipu's, to propose marriage for his younger brother.
.”
Mrs. Zhao spoke impeccably, not only saying that she could not make the decision but also saying that the Hedong Wei family was here.
"Madam, no matter if it's the Hedong Wei family or the Hongnong Yang family, or even the royal Liu family, now that I'm here, they have to step aside.
Because I am not only choosing a sister-in-law for my Yuan Ji, I am also choosing a daughter-in-law for the Yuan family of four generations and three princes, a head wife for the dignified shepherds of Jizhou and Youzhou, and a mistress for the hundreds of thousands of armored men under my command."
Every word Yuan Ji said hit Mrs. Zhao's heart like a hammer.
The daughter-in-law of the Yuan family who was the fourth generation and the third prince, the head wife of the governor of Jizhou and Youzhou, the mistress of hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers, every offer here was something she could not refuse.
At this moment, he was really scared. If he had impulsively agreed to Wei Ji's marriage proposal, it would be really difficult now.
"The old woman has heard what Mrs. Yuan said. I will definitely consider it carefully. Please give the old woman some time."
Her lips were a little blue. Mrs. Zhao looked at Yuan Ji and didn't know what to say.
"Okay, then I'll just wait for the good news."
Since Mrs. Zhao said so, Yuan Ji did not force her.
"Please ask Mrs. Yuan to rest in the side compartment."
Yuan Ji was placed in the wing opposite Wei Jian.
"Sir, I have found out clearly that Yuan Ji's purpose of coming here is to propose marriage to Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao."
The servant rushed to Wei Qian's wing anxiously and told his master exactly what he had heard.
"really."
Hearing the servant's words, a cold light flashed in Wei Qian's eyes.
"Young Master, what should we do now? If we offend Yuan Shu, the gains will outweigh the losses, but if we want to celebrate the second son's happiness, marrying Cai Yan is imperative."
A man who looked like a warrior came close to Wei Ji. He was the leader of the Wei family's private soldiers, named Wei Hong, and was responsible for training and commanding the three thousand private soldiers of the Wei family.
"Wei Hong, are everyone from the second team here?"
Wei Ju glanced at Wei Hong, but there was a coldness in his eyes.
"Sir, everyone from the second team has arrived. You don't think so."
Wei Hong glanced at Wei Qi, and then made a gesture of slitting his throat with his hands.
"Well, tonight, let the people from the second team pretend to be bandits, enter the Cai Mansion and kidnap Cai Yan. Remember not to kill too many people, especially the Yuan family's people. After that, order the people from the second team to go north.
Wait at Chihu Mountain, meet up and return to Hedong together."
Wei Hong had already set the tone when he spoke, pretending to be a bandit and kidnapping Cai Wenji.
I have to say that this is indeed the most appropriate method at the moment. They can get Cai Wenji without having to compete with Yuan Ji. Even if they are discovered later, they can be said to have rescued her from the bandits. Cai Yan went there in person out of gratitude.
Hedong married Wei Zhongdao.
"What if someone blocks you? Especially the Yuan family's guards."
A ruthless light flashed in Wei Hong's eyes.
"Kill without mercy, but Yuan Ji must not kill him, otherwise Yuan Shu will be angry and the world will be shaken, and it will not end well."
"No, I'll make arrangements right away."
Since Wei Ji gave his clear intention, Wei Hong also understood it and went out directly to make arrangements.
As soon as Wei Hong left, a person followed Wei Hong like a shadow. When Wei Hong arrived at his destination, he turned back.
"Brother, this Wei family may be up to something."
After the man came back, he came directly to Yuan Chen and reported to him what he had seen today.
"Hmph, tell the brothers to stay alert for me tonight, and arrange for twenty brothers to ambush next to Miss Cai. If any thief comes, they will be killed without mercy."
"promise."
Yuan Chen looked at the sky, but there was a smile on his lips. Ever since he was transferred by Yuan Shu to be Yuan Ji's guard commander, he thought that he would be far away from the sword and the shadow of swords. He never expected to encounter such an exciting thing.
Time passed by, Yuan Ji was resting peacefully in the wing, but Yuan Chen, with fifty of his guards, was gearing up and waiting for the night to come.
After the third watch, everything was quiet. A group of about two hundred people wearing night clothes, black scarves on their heads, and holding steel knives in their hands quietly marched toward Cai Mansion in the darkness.
"coming."
Yuan Chen was sitting in the small courtyard of the wing, looking at the full moon in the sky, and couldn't help but glance at the corner of his mouth.
"Well, it did come."
Behind Yuan Chen were twenty-nine fully armed guards of Yuan Ji. They were wearing armor, holding round shields and crossbows, and their steel knives were hung lightly on their waists.
"Get ready."
"promise."
The man in black built a ladder and climbed directly over the courtyard wall of Cai's mansion. After forming a group, he quickly headed towards Cai Yan's boudoir.
"Quick, fight quickly, kidnap Cai Yan and leave."
The leader spoke in a low voice to the man in black behind him, and the voice sounded none other than Wei Hong, one of Wei Jian's subordinates.
"promise."
"who?"
The men in black moved very fast, but some servants on night watch still discovered them.
"kill."
Wei Hong roared low and rushed into the servants like an arrow. He slashed the two servants to the ground with the steel knife in his hand. The man in black behind him did the same and quickly attacked and killed all the five servants who were watching the night.
.
"Keep walking, quickly, so as not to cause trouble."
After killing the servant, Wei Hong did not bother to clean up the place and continued to rush towards Cai Yan's boudoir.
Seeing Cai Yan's boudoir ahead, Wei Hong couldn't help but smile. As long as they robbed Cai Yan, their mission would be completed.
"Whoosh."
"Whoosh."
"Whoosh."
Twenty crossbow arrows shot out, and Wei Hong and the dozen men in black around him were all shot to the ground.
Wei Hong forcibly moved a few inches at the moment he was hit by the arrow, thus avoiding death and only being injured.
"Be careful, there is an ambush."
As soon as Wei Hong said this, all the remaining men in black lay on the ground on guard.
After waiting for a while, Wei Hong realized that not bringing a shield this time was the biggest mistake, but now he couldn't wait any longer. Looking at his companions who died beside him, Wei Hong suddenly had an idea flash in his mind.
