Compared to a daughter of Lu Bu whom I have never met before, Mi Zhen is superior in terms of family background and appearance.

Yuan Yao is not a gentleman. He does not reject any political marriage. He just hopes that outside of political marriage, the other party should be someone he can like.

And Mi Zhen is such a girl.

Seeing the disappointed look on Mi Zhen's face, Yuan Yao guessed that Mi Zhen at this moment at least had a good impression of him.

Just when Mi Zhen thought that it was impossible for her and Yuan Yao, Yuan Yao continued to chat with Mi Fang.

"Brother Zifang, although I was ordered to come to Xuzhou to propose marriage, I personally refuse this matter."

"Because, in my opinion, it is a kind of pain to marry a woman whom I have never met and whom I don't like."

"So I plan to break the engagement in front of Lu Bu when I meet him in Xuzhou tomorrow and refuse to marry Lu Bu's daughter."

Yuan Yao thought about what he said to Mi Zhen yesterday and said it again today.

Mi Zhen, who was riding a horse and was a few steps behind Yuan Yao, raised her slightly lowered head in an instant after hearing what Yuan Yao said.

Then he looked at Yuan Yao, and the disappointment in his eyes disappeared, followed by a look of ecstasy.

Mi Zhen tightened her legs slightly on the horse's belly, snorted softly, and controlled the horse to catch up with Yuan Yao and Mi Fang.

"Tear up the engagement?! Hiss! This is no joke. Brother Zichu, have you really thought about it clearly?"

Just now, Mi Fang was surprised that Yuan Yao could marry Lu Bu, but now she was even more surprised when she heard that Yuan Yao was not going to propose marriage, but to break the engagement.

"Even if Lu Bu's daughter and you have never met, an engagement is not a child's play. Since ancient times, parents have ordered matchmakers. You must think carefully about it!"

Mi Fang wanted to persuade her again. After all, for Mi Fang, Yuan Yao's trip to Xuzhou this time was not only to seek marriage, but also had another purpose, which was to help the Mi family resolve their grievances with Lu Bu.

It would be okay if Yuan Yao went directly to propose marriage. After all, once this is successful, Yuan Yao will become Lu Bu's son-in-law. The relationship between Weng and his son-in-law will naturally be closer. With Yuan Yao coming forward, the Mi family's affairs can be easily solved.

But now that Yuan Yao said that he wanted to regret his marriage, Mi Fang was really worried. Lu Bu got so angry that he slapped Yuan Yao directly.

By then, Yuan Yao not only failed to help the Mi family resolve their grudges, but instead turned into a situation that was even more difficult to end. Then it was too late for the Mi family to regret it.

Mi Fang felt a little uneasy now, and even felt a little regretful. Why didn't she follow Yuan Yao to Xiapi City in Xuzhou without finding out why?

It would be different if Mi Fang's dissuasion fell into Mi Zhen's ears.

Before Yuan Yao could answer Mi Fang, Mi Zhen spoke to Mi Fang first.

"Second brother, then your thinking is really solidified. Who said that marriage can only be the decision of parents and the matchmaker? Getting married is a lifelong event. Although parents' orders are very important, what is more important is the relationship between the two.

Love each other."

"If you can't be with the one you love, even if you marry the emperor, you won't be happy in this life."

"You little girl, you know nothing about movies."

In her desperation, Mi Fang even forgot that Mi Zhen was still disguised as a man.

Mi Zhen's face turned red and she hurriedly retorted.

"You...you are the little girl?"

While replying to her second brother, she quietly glanced at Yuan Yao out of the corner of her eye, fearing that Yuan Yao would discover her identity.

"Brother Zifang, I think what the Third Young Master said is reasonable. While you are still alive, if you seek a confidante just for the sake of getting married, then the meaning of getting married will be lost."

"Although this time I came to Lu Bu to regret my marriage, but don't worry, I am still confident that I can solve the Mi family's affairs."

Mi Fang looked at Yuan Yao with a sad face.

Now that Yuan Yao has said so, even if he has any objections, he has no way to regret it now that he is at the gate of Xiapi City.

All we can do is bite the bullet and follow Yuan Yao's wishes.

Don't care about that much, just treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

It would be great if Yuan Yao could help them solve this trouble.

If this trouble cannot be solved, then the Mi family can only do what Mi Zhu said and use the strength of the whole family to join Liu Bei.

This is their retreat.

As the teams from both sides merged, a group of nearly 6,000 people arrived outside Xiapi City one after another.

Yuan Yao had already sent troops to inform Lu Bu, so Lu Bu knew in advance that Yuan Yao would come to Xiapi City.

Because there were too many men and horses brought this time, it was naturally impossible for all of his 6,000 men to enter Xiapi City. In that case, it would easily arouse Lu Bu's fear.

So before arriving at Xiapi City, Yuan Yao found a relatively open plain ten miles outside the city and set up camp.

At the same time, let's rest for a whole night outside the city to recharge our batteries and get rid of the fatigue from traveling for days.

He will wait until tomorrow morning to enter Xiapi City with his confidants and meet Lu Bu.

Naturally, the people of the Mi family have no objections to this.

The Mi family's men did not open their own camp alone, but directly chose to set up camp in the same place as Yuan Yao's men.

Firstly, it is convenient to take care of each other, and secondly, it is safer to stay with Yuan Yao.

Nothing happened all night.

The summer in June is not even hot, but the breeze during the day must have soothed people's hearts and made them feel more comfortable.

Although Yuan Yao went to bed early, he did not fall asleep.

The main reason is that the ancient nights are no different from modern ones, with mosquitoes everywhere.

Especially when camping in the wild and close to water sources, it is simply a nest for mosquitoes. Even if Yuan Yao used some mosquito repellent herbs, it would not help, and the effect would not be significant.

He endured the mosquito attack like this until midnight before he fell asleep in a daze.

Early the next morning, at dawn, Ji Ling came over to wake Yuan Yao up, intending to set off for Xiapi City after having something to eat.

Because the place where the camp is set up is still ten miles away from Xiapi City. The distance of ten miles will take an hour if you walk slowly.

By the time we arrived at Xiapi City, it was almost morning.

Yuan Yao had a simple breakfast and some cheese cakes, then mounted his horse and headed for Xiapi with Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, and the accompanying two hundred soldiers.
