Xia Wanqing recalled the events of that time, and it was indeed the situation.
Although he had the idea of securing a Village Chief for Wenjin, he was ultimately a Jianghu hero, not a real bandit.
Rather than saying he seized, it was more appropriate to say he enticed with silver and prospects. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many young men happily following up the mountain, even if not chosen, they happily went back down.
When encountering Huangfu Yuxuan, they didn't put him in their plans, as after all, Huangfu Yuxuan didn't seem to be lacking in silver.
It was Huangfu Yuxuan who, seeing the bustling scene, inquired and then proactively requested.
Xia Wanqing saw he was good-looking, estimating that Wenjin would be willing, thus asked for his birth details, and found it was a heavenly match, which naturally was delightful for all!
However, the people of Haotian Village valued face, hence spread the word that he was seized.
