Shu Blossoms

Chapter 223
He Balun is an out-and-out military man, impatient to argue with others, being taught a lesson by Cui Heng and Lu Zhaoyi, he was already very impatient, his hand was already on the long knife at his waist, Zheng Wei looked at his body tense.

"Let's see His Majesty, see Master Cui!" Suddenly, an unknown scholar called out with a slightly trembling voice.

Everyone shouted in unison, "See Your Majesty, Master Cui!"

Zheng Wei thought to himself, "It's broken!" In He Balun's eyes, their actions were provoking him, and even provoking He Bashi. He would probably be enraged, and the situation would be out of control at that time!
While cursing inwardly that there are idiots everywhere, she made preparations that if these soldiers really took action, she would have to find a way to keep these scholars.

When He Balun pulled out his long saber, Zheng Wei was already ready to strike, Cui Heng suddenly shouted, his voice still calm and calm, "Everyone!"

Those scholars who were either nervous or passionate really calmed down, Cui Heng continued: "We waited outside the Shenhu Gate and the result will be, remember Master Cui's teachings, don't make noise!"

Then he looked at He Balun, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing voice, "General He Ba, although we are only scribes, we are not afraid of death. It's just that you should have heard the public opinion in Pingcheng these two days. If anything happens to the people, the Heba family's reputation for killing innocent people is really confirmed. The head of the Heba family is an ambitious person, and he certainly doesn't want to write in the history books that the Heba family's gluttonous gluttony, hurt and abuse the people .”

Although He Balun was still angry, his killing intent dissipated.

Cui Heng's tone also slowed down a lot, "Why don't you go back and ask Patriarch He Ba, how about we just wait here until Master Cui and the others come out?"

He Balun snorted heavily when he heard the words, turned his head and told the soldiers next to him, "Look out! No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order!"

Then they went back to Shenhumen, the scholars looked at each other, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then they all sat cross-legged again.

Zheng Wei quietly retreated after He Balun's murderous intent dissipated.

As long as He Balun was not impulsive, He Bajing would not attack these scholars if he was not ignorant, so she left with Mo You at ease.

When they walked through Yifeng Street, they saw a group of cavalry galloping towards this side, Mo You took Zheng Wei to hide.

After careful identification, Mo You said to her, "Looks like Bu Liugu's subordinates, isn't Bu Liugu guarding the city gate?"

Zheng Wei watched these people pass by, and asked Mo You: "Whose person is Bu Liugu?"

"King Qinghe's!" Mo You looked at the direction they were leaving, and murmured, "It seems that they are going to the palace."

Zheng Wei thought of what He Balun said before, and smiled slightly, "It's exciting to watch!"

They sneaked back and looked at Shenhumen from a distance. Sure enough, Bu Liugu's subordinates seemed to want to enter the palace, but they were stopped outside. Moreover, He Balun's subordinates refused to notify them, and there seemed to be a conflict. .

Cui Heng and Lu Zhao led the scholars back and retreated away from their dispute.

Cui Heng was still on the sidelines, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, and persuaded: "Speak up if you have something to say, after all, he is the subordinate of King Qinghe, so he still has to give this face!"

The pair sent by Hebalun were obviously his confidantes and knew a lot of things.

"What face, now your master can't protect himself, and my master also said that no one can enter the palace today!"

What Hebalun's soldiers said made Liugu's men so angry that they drew out their long knives and wanted to chop him.

The two teams faced each other with swords facing each other and they were about to fight, Cui Heng hurriedly persuaded him again: "You two brothers don't dare, this is Shenhumen, if there is a fight here, it will be a crime of beheading if you see blood!"

These people were afraid when they heard the words, and each took away their weapons. It was Cui Heng who added another sentence: "My brother, what you said just now is wrong. No matter what the King Qinghe is, he is still the King of Qinghe, and we cannot criticize him." ! If King Qinghe finds out, he will lose his life!"

Zheng Wei hid not far away and couldn't help but chuckle, "This Cui Heng is interesting, courageous and resourceful, and arguable, he is indeed a descendant of the Cui family."

When Cui Heng said this, his tone was unpredictable. The soldiers who dared to speak rudely to King Qinghe couldn't help but feel chills down their spines. They looked into the Shenhu Gate and were relieved to see no one behind them.

But he still refused to convey Bu Liugu's letter, and Bu Liugu's subordinates returned angrily to complain.

Zheng Wei looked at the back of them leaving, and suddenly had an idea, she discussed with Mo You in a low voice, Mo You nodded excitedly, "I'll take you back first, and then I'll make arrangements!"

Those internal officials of the Great Wei Dynasty and Cui Heng had not come out of the palace for a day and a night, and the scholars guarding the Shenhumen were very worried.

And Pingcheng outside the imperial palace, besides the turmoil, has also become bloody.

The rebels in Pingcheng were always attacked overnight. First, the [-] rebels of King Qinghe patrolled the city except Bu Liugu who guarded the south gate. However, ten teams were attacked every day and night. Attack, and according to the clues they found, nine out of ten people are members of the Heba clan.

What's even more strange is that Heba's search team was also frequently attacked, and the mutual suspicion between the two parties caused friction and conflicts from time to time.

Many people were killed and injured during this day and night, but no one from Shenhumen came out, and they were not allowed to enter.

Zheng Wei started to worry even as she was lying at home, King Qinghe wouldn't bloodbath the Great Wei Palace in a fit of anger, right?
Mo You comforted her and said, "No, there are still five thousand Imperial Guards in the palace left behind by His Majesty, and they are now beside the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager will not let all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty be included in it."

Zheng Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "How is the situation outside now?"

"Now they are in a mess, and the conflicts between the Heba family and King Qinghe continue. In this way, we have an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

Zheng Wei nodded, and asked again: "Where's outside Pingcheng? According to the time, your highness should come back when he went to invite reinforcements!"

"His Royal Highness has returned. Yesterday morning, the crusade has been issued, and the will has been read out in public, and the first siege has begun!"

Zheng Wei nodded, "According to you, when will this battle be over?"

"It's hard to say. In the previous situation, this battle might have lasted for a month, but now that we've messed up in the city, the Heba family and King Qinghe have almost parted ways, and the pressure on His Royal Highness outside Pingcheng will be much less .If we can cooperate internally and externally, we will soon be able to control Pingcheng!"

"Once Pingcheng is breached, you can drive straight into the Great Wei Palace."

Thinking of this, Zheng Wei felt a little excited, thinking that he could finally have a good rest.

"Yeah, I really didn't expect that the battle could be fought like this," Mo You couldn't help laughing when he thought of Liu Gu's furious appearance on the top of the city gate.

Before, he dared to lead troops out of the city to attack the Bauhinia Army, but as more and more brothers died in battle, the other Qinghe King's troops in the city were unable to come to support them, and it gradually became weak.
