    Hearing the commotion, the Jin soldiers outside rushed towards the tent, only to be stunned by Yang Jizhou's roar. He brandished his halberd with one hand, felling two approaching Jin soldiers, and stood before the tent in the wind and snow, holding Wanyan Wuzhu in his arms. His white robes fluttered in the wind, making him appear like a god descending to earth. Seeing their commander captured, the Jin soldiers panicked. Wanyan Wuzhu, seeing her two Jin soldiers killed, struggled under Yang Jizhou's arm. Her helmet fell to the ground, revealing a head of jet-black hair that cascaded down like spilled ink, dancing in the wind and snow. Yang Jizhou looked down and saw delicate features and fair cheeks—a stunningly beautiful woman. A sudden panic gripped him; his tough exterior softened, and he loosened his grip, letting her go. Wanyan Wuzhu, light as a swallow, rolled on the ground, then leaped into the air with a somersault.
