Chapter 243 Zhou Yi
At this moment, You Yu's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip from it, because the mountain people were holding a person who had been beaten to a bloody mess in their hands.

But even so, Youyan recognized at a glance that it was the person he brought out with him.

No wonder there was no warning or feedback even though we were clearly ambushed.

You Yu directly drew the knife from his waist, and the guards behind him also drew their weapons, forming a confrontation with the mountain people.

The leader of the mountain people was not in a hurry. He raised his hand lightly, and immediately a group of archers appeared in the woods, drawing their bows and arrows, ready to shoot.

You Yu thought to himself that this was not good. Was he really going to die here today?
He could only use the force to tighten his grip on the sword. In order to conceal his whereabouts, Qiao Wei only brought out a dozen guards. Together with the guards sent by Sun Kuang and the Danyang Sun Mansion, there were no more than a hundred people, while the number of the enemy was at least five hundred.

Different from the previous siege of the metallurgical plant which was a bluff, the people who came this time were all young and strong mountain people, and they were all good at fighting.

As long as the leader gave the order, You Yu fully believed that those feather arrows could instantly turn them into hedgehogs vomiting blood.

His other hand carefully touched the armor on his body.

When he entered the military camp, he knew that sooner or later he would die on the battlefield. It was his dereliction of duty that he failed to fulfill the Lord's request and bring his wife back to Wu County safely.

Just as he was about to give the order to fight a decisive battle with the mountain people, a pair of hands stretched out from the door of the carriage.

"I heard that although Danyang Zhou Shuai is a mountain dweller, he is known for his benevolence and righteousness..."

The door of the carriage slowly opened, and Qiao Wei leaned over and walked out. You Yu was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. If he fought desperately, there might still be a glimmer of hope. Why did Mrs. Qiao suddenly come to the mountain people?
Although he was more or less accustomed to Mrs. Qiao's beauty, Youyi also knew that for a man, the best trophy after victory was a woman, not to mention that Mrs. Qiao was quite beautiful. If they could not leave alive, Mrs. Qiao would be the first trophy to be collected on the battlefield.

He quickly winked at Qiao Wei, wanting him to go back to the carriage.

But Qiao Wei gave him a reassuring look, got off the carriage, turned around and faced the mountain people, "You surrounded us but didn't kill us today, so you must have some demands!"

As expected, as soon as Qiao Wei showed up, he caused a small commotion among the mountain people.

As they were both men, how could Xiao Xian not see the possessive desire that was instantly ignited in those men's eyes?

"Since Marshal Zhou has come here personally with his troops, we might as well speak frankly. We are just ordinary people, entrusted by others to do some shameful business. Even in terms of gold and silver, it is not much. If Marshal Zhou wants it, we can give it to him. Please give us a way out."

Qiao Wei smiled faintly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

The leading man in gray raised his lips slightly, playing with a dagger in his hand. He took two steps forward and looked at Qiao Wei with amusement in his eyes.

"You guys are really interesting. Do you really think I don't know your background? You, a beauty, are also interesting. Your husband doesn't dare to get out of the car, so why does he ask such a delicate beauty like you to stand in front and talk to me? Such a husband is really not worth mentioning. Madam, today I, Zhou Yi, will take your husband away, so just follow me!" The dagger in his hand lightly slashed across his palm, but his eyes were fixed on Qiao Wei without moving away.

When You Yan heard such frivolous words, he took a step forward and wanted to protect Qiao Wei.

However, Qiao Wei turned his head slightly and signaled You Yu with his eyes not to act rashly.

"Marshal Zhou, there's no need to provoke us. Since he knows our background, he knows that our husband is a fool who has always been devoted to studying the family affairs. If we offend him with our words, it would be a waste of our lives and it would not be worth it for him to be angry." Qiao Wei said tactfully, "Marshal Zhou, it would be the same if you tell me directly what you want."

"How come it's suddenly your turn as a woman to head the Mo family?" Zhou Yi turned his eyes to the carriage, as if he wanted to see through it, "It's said that the third son of the Mo family took charge at a young age, and within a few years, he made the Mo Iron Shop famous.

Even my father’s repeated requests to form an alliance with the Mo’s Iron Shop did not receive any response. I guess it was because the Mo’s Iron Shop was so big and powerful that they looked down on our Zhou family’s small territory, and turned around to become a nameless pawn being ordered around by the Jiangdong Sun family.

This ability to curry favor with the powerful is really eye-opening for Zhou!"

It seems that there is still some grudge between Zhou Yi and Mr. Mo San! Qiao Wei couldn't help but feel his temples throbbing. After all, Zhou Yi's words showed some resentment towards Mr. Mo San!
This game is not easy to break!
"Marshal Zhou's words really frightened us." Qiao Wei remained calm. "The Mo family's children are just poor people who make a living by their craft. Naturally, they are not as knowledgeable and far-sighted as Marshal Zhou. If there is anything that has offended Marshal Zhou, I will apologize to him on behalf of my husband. I hope that Marshal Zhou can show some mercy and not bother with us common people."

Qiao Wei leaned forward slightly and saluted Zhou Yi.

"Since you want to apologize, you should at least show some sincerity, right?" Zhou Shuai looked at Qiao Wei with a half-smile, his eyes showing undisguised concentration and scrutiny, as if the person standing in front of him was not a person, but an object that could make him happy physically and mentally. He was evaluating the value that this object could bring to him. "If Mo really wants to apologize, why not just give you to me, and I can forgive all the past."

Zhou Yi raised his voice a little, and said to the carriage road, "Mo Zan, I will take your wife away today, how about that?"

Having one's wife stolen would be a huge shame for any living man. Zhou Yi didn't believe that even so, Mo Zan could still hide and not show up!
Zhou Yi was pressing forward step by step. You Yu immediately stepped forward, stood in front of Qiao Wei, and used his knife to protect Qiao Wei as he retreated step by step.

"Madam..." You Yu gritted his teeth and said, "I will lead you to fight!"

With clever crossbows in hand, they are capable of fighting.

Qiao Wei shook his head slightly, "It's not time yet."

"Mo Zan, even the guards around you are more manly than you!" Zhou Yi stared at the carriage intently. Qiao Wei had no doubt that if his eyes could turn into knives, the entire carriage and the people inside would be cut into pieces by him.

What Zhou Yi wanted was Mo Zan. If he wanted to kill Mo Zan, he would not give them the opportunity to argue with them here.

"Okay, it's really a thousand-year-old turtle. In that case..." Zhou Yi's eyes suddenly became sinister, "Shoot!"
