Shu Blossoms

Chapter 381 It's Dark Again

Xia Houqing hid in the room and watched the letter paper burn slowly, but what he thought of was the person who sent the news. He could send the news through the heavy blockade of the imperial army. This person's energy should not be underestimated.

When he came to Jiankang this time, among the people he came into contact with, there were only two people who had this ability and might be very helpful, the Dalangjun of the Han family and the national teacher with a strange mind.

He didn't quite understand these two. According to the news he had received, the Emperor of Zhou didn't trust the general of the Han family very much. He was obviously a general but was trapped in a courtyard as a teacher. Everyone knows the way!

Therefore, he is not surprised that the Han family has a different heart, but through two contacts, Han Shidi always hides his head and timidly, looking forward and backward.At first, he suspected that the Han family had no intention of cooperating with him. Besides, he also had an idea in his heart that not everyone in the Han family had a different heart, and even Han Daoyuan, the helm of the Han family, did not have a rebellious heart.

As for the old fox of the national teacher, he was even more incomprehensible. His majesty had told him about his activities in private. He thought he was a hypocritical Taoist who was greedy for money and power. After a few contacts, he realized that he was not real. What he didn't understand was the purpose behind this old fox. If he loves money and power, he is a childless person with one foot buried in the ground. What is the use of this wealth?
Fortunately, Zhang Ruo is willing to cooperate with him, as long as they are in agreement for the time being, he doesn't care about the conspiracy behind this person.

It's just that this news was sent by the national teacher?
But he always felt that it didn't look like that, because the man immediately disappeared after sending the news, and he looked like he didn't want to get involved with him again, more like that Mr. Han Dalang.

After Xia Houqing thought about it a lot, the paper had just been burned, and he already had a plan in mind.

Since he can't get out, he can only find a way to send a message to ask someone for help. I hope everything will be in time.

Fortunately, when they left, there was still one secret whistle in the Siyi Pavilion that was not found out.

After the news was sent out, Xia Houqing could only stand on the porch and wait for the news. The imperial guards came in to check on him routinely, and when they saw that he was staying well and there was nothing unusual, they ignored him and left.

Let's talk about Zheng Wei's search, although they were not blocked again, but the progress was not smooth, they were divided into four teams, every ten people searched a street, and no one was found until noon.

Liu Yuan couldn't help wondering, "Could it be that they have already left here and fled to other Lifangs?"

"It's not impossible!" Mu Wu's expression turned ugly and he felt that they might have escaped.

Zheng Wei looked at Xiao Yucheng, feeling a little depressed in his heart, could it be that such a big search was in vain in the end.

Xiao Yucheng also happened to look at her, the two of them looked at each other, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, grabbed Liu Yuan and asked, "Have you searched your house?"

Liu Yuan was taken aback, "You mean they hid in our house?"

"After all, there is only one wall between us. Back then, our people only surrounded the ghost house on three sides, but we didn't keep anyone in Liu's mansion!" Zheng Wei just finished speaking, but was interrupted by Liu Yuan, "Princess, you must be confused, we But I climbed over the back wall of my house, and there was no one in the yard at that time!"

"It's dark under the lights again!" Zheng Wei recalled what she saw a few days ago, she raised her feet and ran towards Liu's mansion, Xiao Yucheng and Mu Wu hurriedly led people to chase after seeing this, Liu Yuan also panicked Well, there are not many guards in their mansion. There are only women and children like grandmother, mother and sister in the house. If a man from Wei entered their mansion, wouldn't his family be in danger?
There was an abandoned woodshed at the west corner of the back wall of the Liu residence, and there was a rustling sound coming from the woodshed.

"Prince Pingyang, your subordinates went out to investigate just now, and there are still people guarding the house. The officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are searching from house to house, so they haven't come here yet?"

The person who just went out to investigate came back to report.

Before King Pingyang could respond, the envoy secretary said with a gloomy face: "Although we have temporarily escaped the pursuers, this place is not a place to stay for a long time, and it is too easy to be discovered!"

Others nodded one after another, and some even complained: "We Dawei people fight immediately, and it is a shame to be forced to hide in this gloomy place like a turtle!"

"Nahe, you have been saying this for a few days, so don't say such useless words!" King Pingyang interrupted him coldly, and after glancing at the crowd, he said: "Everyone, all our clansmen in the mission The people here are all trapped here because of Xia Houqing, a Han Chinese. This king suspects that this is the situation Xia Houqing set up to murder us."

"But he has a secret order from His Majesty!"

They were not afraid of Xia Houqing, but worried that Emperor Wei would blame them.

"We don't know His Majesty's true intentions. If His Majesty has other intentions, why not give King Pingyang trust in a foreigner? It doesn't make sense!" Another envoy retorted!
Everyone in the mission looked at each other, although they knew that Xia Houqing was His Majesty's confidant, but Xia Houqing left them alone, and His Majesty had other plans and did not care about their safety at all, which made the ministers dissatisfied.

"King Pingyang, you have a plan to escape danger. If we can escape danger this time, we will definitely follow in the days to come!"

Seeing that King Pingyang was not very anxious, He couldn't help asking tentatively.

The others also promised in unison, "We must follow!"

King Pingyang smiled lightly when he heard the words, "My king's solution is to go out in an open and honest manner!"

"Go out in an open and honest manner? How is this possible?" All the envoys were surprised.

"Yeah, now everyone outside is arresting us, won't we be arrested as soon as we go out?"

King Pingyang smiled and shook his head, then looked at the guard who was in charge of going out to investigate the news, and asked: "Is there a portrait of our name on the documents of Da Zhou Haiqi?"

"Nothing!" The guard shook his head.

"What the court of the Great Zhou wants to arrest is the one who took Princess Zhaoyang, but Princess Zhaoyang is not captured by us, and the Emperor of Great Zhou still wants to make peace with Great Wei, so naturally he wants to protect our safety! "King Pingyang smiled faintly. He had already understood that the two emperors had no intention of turning against each other. Just get more benefits.

As long as the two countries do not go to war, the emperor of Zhou Dynasty will not take action against the mission. This is the reason why King Pingyang is calm.

"Could it be that we just walked out of the backyard so carelessly?" Some envoys felt a little embarrassed. He felt that if these people suddenly appeared, they would be beaten violently by the guards and servants in the mansion.

"We are all warriors on the grassland. How can a small courtyard wall stop us? As long as we go outside, we can directly reveal our identities. The officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou will not dare to embarrass us!"

What King Pingyang said was categorical, and then he led the people out in a file. According to the previous inspection by the guards, they only need to climb over the wall on the west side to go to the street. At that time, they only need to show their identity as a mission
King Pingyang smiled as he thought about it, and when he turned his head and saw the two guards lifting Princess Zhaoyang, intending to take her away together, his face darkened and he said, "Put her down!"

The guard was puzzled, "My lord, Princess Zhaoyang is now our talisman. With her in our hands, at least the emperor of Zhou would not dare"

"It's also a reminder!" King Pingyang said gloomyly: "You carried her out like this, didn't you tell everyone that we tied her up!"

The guard was dumbfounded, and then quickly put Princess Zhaoyang back.

Just when King Pingyang finally climbed to the top of the wall and smiled while looking at the bright sunshine outside, suddenly a group of people roared past in front of him. Before he could react, those people ran back again.
