Shu Blossoms

Chapter 227
Just when Zheng Wei thought that the Great Wei was established at the beginning, he didn't expect that in just one day, the waves would regenerate!

Taiyuan Wang Tuobarui led [-] elite soldiers from the original Daxia, galloping all the way to Pingcheng.

The military report that Tuoba Yu received was that Tuoba Rui set out three days after the Wei Dynasty closed the city. He learned the news so quickly and was able to set off with the whole army in just one day. Obviously, he had planned it for a long time.

Although Tuoba Yu was surprised at first, he was not nervous. On the contrary, he had some expectation that if the king of Taiyuan dared to come, he would eliminate the hidden danger of the Great Wei.

After all, although Pingcheng has just gone through civil strife, the loss is not great. The army integrated by King Qinghe, Heba and Qiu Linxi, plus his own Bauhinia Army, has a total of more than [-] people. Not only is it not a problem to defend the city, but also It is expected to take the initiative to attack and eliminate them.

But only one day later, he received news that Murong Qian had returned to Beijing with an army of [-]. Murong Qian had not sent any news to Pingcheng before, nor had he written to ask for instructions.

Neither King Taiyuan nor Murong Qian returned without an edict, the meaning of which is self-evident.

Tuoba Yu immediately sent people to recall He Lianbo and Xia Houmiao back to Beijing to escort them. He Lianbo was the farthest away to receive the imperial edict and immediately led the army back to help.

But Xia Houmiao did not move for a long time, and at this time, after another five days of full-speed advance, the King of Taiyuan had reached Youyu County, a hundred miles away from Pingcheng.

According to this speed, Tuoba Rui's army will reach Pingcheng within two days.

Seeing that they were about to be trapped in Pingcheng again, Zhao Mingzhi and Xiao Yucheng proposed to leave immediately and return to Dazhou.

But Zheng Wei couldn't leave, those girls are still placed in Mingyue Tower, but they no longer live underground, and the county magistrate sent someone to guard them.

He couldn't take any of them away.

And according to this situation, if the war in Great Wei resumes, Zheng Wei can't guarantee that they can bring them back to Great Zhou safely.

But leave them here, and they may fall into the devil's den again.

Zheng Wei remembered that apart from these children, there was also Awan, who was probably abducted by Zhang Ruo from some family, and probably had some relationship with herself.

She went to the small courtyard where Luo Yan and A Wan lived before, and when she got there, she found that there was no one in the small courtyard, Luo Yan and A Wan were gone.

Zheng Wei guessed that Luo Yan probably took him to the village behind Nanshan.

Now I can't see Tuoba Yu, and the county magistrate said that she can't take anyone away until the case is closed.

But when he was so nervous, Tuoba Yu didn't even deal with He Bashi, but temporarily took He Bajing and He Bayan into custody. If this civil war breaks out, he doesn't know when he wants to close the case.

Zheng Wei planned to go to the village behind the Nanshan Mountain first, to see Awan, and pick her up when they left.

But as soon as she got on her horse and was about to leave the city, she was stopped by a soldier.

"Jing'er, someone is looking for you!"

Saying that, Zheng Wei looked in the direction of the soldiers, and saw a few people who were being escorted by the soldiers in a state of embarrassment.

"Micro"

The leader called her, with a smile in his eyes, his big white teeth showing on his dark face.

Hearing this familiar voice, Zheng Wei hurriedly dismounted, then ran over to look at the person carefully, jumped over happily and shouted: "Brother!"

This person is Zheng Wei's elder brother Zheng Heng, they left Pingcheng to deliver news to the mission, but they rushed back again unexpectedly.

Zheng Wei looked behind him, the people behind were Yuan Wang, Liu Yuan, and Zhang Da four brothers.

Seeing them like this, her heart sank, fearing that something happened to the mission!

Taking them back to the temporary residence, after a simple wash, Zheng Wei brought some food over.

Everyone was silent, and finally Zheng Heng said: "Xia Houmiao sent troops to arrest all the members of the mission. If he hadn't been afraid of Emperor Wei's attitude, he would have wished to kill all the members of the mission!"

"We were one step too late. The mission was arrested as soon as it entered the Wei territory. We didn't see any members of the mission. Then Xia Houmiao hates the people of the Yue clan so much, King Ling must be in danger at this time!"

What Zheng Heng is most worried about is this little uncle. If Xia Houmiao vents his anger, he may be the first to attack the descendants of the Yue family.

"Have you found a way to send a letter to Dazhou? If Xia Houmiao is sent to put pressure on the border at this time, will he be afraid?" Xiao Yucheng asked.

Zheng Heng and the others fell into silence again. Ma Yunxing pursed his dry mouth and said with difficulty: "I wanted to sneak back to Dazhou to deliver the letter, but I met Xia Houmiao's patrol army on the way and was almost discovered. Xia Houmiao broke out from the barracks and led those patrolling troops away. I took the opportunity to cross the border and return to Dazhou, and passed the news to Xiao Chengyan and General Xiao Yujing who were guarding the border! But I heard that Commander Liu was arrested and returned. "

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat oppressive, Zheng Wei stood up suddenly, and said to Zheng Heng and the others: "Brother, hurry up and eat something and rest well, I'll go out for a while."

"where are you going?"

The others also stood up when they heard the words, looking at her worriedly.

"I'm going to see Xia Houqing!" Zheng Wei turned and left without giving everyone a chance to persuade them.

And now she could only think of him.

If the situation in Great Wei was stable at this time, and Tuoba Yu successfully ascended the throne, there might be pressure on Xia Houmiao to order him to release the mission.

But the current situation is that Tuoba Yu cannot protect himself, and the current situation must not be hidden from Xia Houmiao.

Xia Houmiao holds an army of [-]. At this time, his attitude can be said to determine the future situation of the Great Wei. Maybe Xia Houmiao will use the mission as a condition to negotiate with Tuoba Yu and Tuoba Rui.

Soon, when Zheng Wei arrived outside the Shenhu Gate, she knew how damn right her guess was. Xia Houqing said to her quietly, "A letter sent by my father just entered the palace an hour ago. The letter said that if His Highness agreed that he would kill all the members of the mission and hand over Princess Danyang of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then send his troops northward to hand over Tuoba Rui to His Highness."

Fortunately, there was a guess before, Zheng Wei was not too shocked at this time, she was still in the mood to smile and said: "The same letter, presumably Tuoba Rui also received it?"

Xia Houqing nodded.

"What do you think?" Zheng Wei suddenly tilted his head to look at Xia Houqing.

"I said before that I owe you what happened last time. If you say so, I will try my best to protect the members of the mission from my father. But King Ling must die, and I can't save him!"

"I'm asking, where will your father leave you? Where will you leave the other descendants of the Xiahou Mansion?"

Zheng Wei took a step forward, looking up to see Xia Houqing's eyes clearly.

Xia Houqing was a smart person, so he immediately understood what she meant, and asked with a smile: "How do you know that His Highness will not send Qu Qu's thousand envoys to my father for the sake of Wei?"

"Okay, as long as Tuoba Yu is willing, what will happen after that?" Zheng Wei pressed harder and harder, "It doesn't matter which of them agrees to hand over the mission to your father, or both of them agree! Then Da Wei is bound to enter a war A bigger civil war, but a civil war involving the whole country."

"After all the troops of the Great Wei Dynasty fell into civil war, have you ever thought about whether His Majesty the Great Zhou would be furious if the princes and court officials of my Great Zhou were killed, and whether he would pour out all the power of the country to take revenge? Da Wei still has some strength to resist."
