"What's going on? Just a few students from the Qingyun Empire, how can they be so troublesome?" Duan Xuan frowned and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Duan Biao snorted and said, "A few little bastards are nothing, but a general named Xu Liang came out halfway, and Mr. He was injured by his hands."
"Xu Liang!? Wu Jinhun's left-wing lieutenant?" When He Zhen heard this, a surge of anger and murderous intent suddenly rose from his neutral expression, and his voice was as cold as if it came from under a thousand-year glacier.
Duan Biao nodded, somewhat looking down on He Zhen. You, the great Situ, are a first-class officer after all, but even a small lieutenant doesn't take you seriously. The role of a high-ranking officer is really not an ordinary failure.
"Xu Liang! If I don't avenge this revenge, how can I really swear that I won't be a human being!" He Zhen gritted his teeth, as if he was chewing Xu Liang's bones in his mouth.
Duan Biao also turned to look at Duan Xuan and said, "Sir, this Xu Liang is indeed nothing. He does not take our Iron War Dynasty into consideration at all. I owe this arrow to him."
Duan Xuan nodded. He had spent a lot of time studying the political situation of the Qingyun Empire. In the Qingyun Empire, there were both peace advocates like He Zhen and war fighters who advocated the use of troops against the Tie Zhan Dynasty, and Wu Jinhun was a representative figure among the war fighters. Xu Liang is his subordinate, and it is a matter of course not to give face to the Tie Zhan Dynasty.
"What a pity! If Xu Liang hadn't appeared in time, Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu would have fallen into our hands." Duan Peng added with regret.
"What?" Duan Xuan and Wei Chunqiu opened their eyes at the same time when they heard this. Duan Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you met Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu?"
Duan Peng hummed and said, "What a coincidence, Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu were together with the four Tiandu students who had offended Mr. He, and we blocked them. Originally, I had already blocked Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu. You Qi and Shangguan Yunzhu were restrained, but at this moment, Xu Liang appeared and shot them randomly without saying a word, and snatched them back from our hands. "
"That's unreasonable!" Wei Chunqiu couldn't help but cursed angrily, with regret on his face. If he had known this was the case, he should have gone with Duan Peng and Duan Biao.
"Yes, I should have thought of it at the beginning! Those Tiandu Kingdom students who are practicing in Qingyun Martial Academy are all elites of Tiandu Kingdom and are the hope of Tiandu Kingdom in the future. Wan Youqi arrived at Yunzhong City, We will naturally contact them. If we could keep an eye on these Tiandu students, why would we worry about Wan Youqi and Shangguan Yunzhu not falling into the trap?" Duan Xuan said, shaking his head for his miscalculation.
"By the way! How are those little bastards from Tiandu Kingdom?" He Zhen suddenly thought of something and looked up at Duan Peng and Duan Biao.
Duan Peng replied, "Two dead and two injured!"
"Two dead?!" As soon as Duan Peng finished speaking, He Zhen couldn't help but exclaimed.
Duan Peng originally thought that such a result would make He Zhen feel relieved and excited, but the result seemed to be the opposite. Apart from surprise, there was no joy at all on He Zhen's face. On the contrary, there were layers of worry and even panic.
"It's broken, it's broken! I asked you two, why are you so unreasonable?" Duan Peng didn't understand what was going on, and He Zhen accused them with an annoyed look on his face.
Duan Peng couldn't help but frowned, and said with a very unhappy expression, "Master He, this is all Mr. He's intention."
"It's his wish, should we just follow his wish? You two, Yanxu is still young, so he can't think of being so thoughtful. Are you two young too? Xu Yaoting sees those boys from Tiandu Kingdom very much. Heavy. In the beginning, the two young masters of the Jin family who were famous in your Tie Zhan dynasty were killed by Xu Yaoting just because they wanted to harm them. If you kill them now, wouldn't that be a direct gift to the Xu family? A good excuse to destroy our He family?"
Seeing He Zhen jumping up and down in a hurry, with a look of panic on his face, Duan Peng was even more disdainful towards him, sneered and said, "I dare you, Lord He, to fear the Xu family like a tiger."
"Fart!" Duan Peng said this, and He Yanxu was really angry. He slammed the table and the juice of the delicacies on the table was splashed everywhere.
"The Xu family and I are not at odds with each other, how can I be afraid of them? Timing! Do you understand the timing? Now that the Xu family is powerful, if we go head-to-head with them, we are seeking death! What we have to do now is to hide our capabilities, bide our time, recuperate, and wait until we grow stronger. Let’s fight it out again!”
Duan Peng was not convinced and wanted to argue with He Zhen again. Duan Xuan glared at him and had to swallow back what he said, until his face turned purple.
Duan Xuan said, "Master He is right. Now is indeed not the time to confront the Xu family. Duan Peng and Duan Biao, you have indeed gone too far in this matter. Even if you kill all those boys, It’s useless, as long as you keep their lives, Master He can deal with it and make the big thing smaller. But now, if you do this, Master He won’t even have any room to move. "
"My lord, it's not good, my lord!" Duan Xuan had just finished speaking. Accompanied by a burst of hurried shouting, the housekeeper of the He family ran over almost rolling and crawling.
He Zhen's heart sank, and he hurriedly rushed up to him, grabbed him by the skirt of his clothes, and asked with splitting eyes, "What happened?"
The butler's face was covered with cold sweat, and his lips were so frightened that they turned purple. "Sir, Wu Jinhun is leading a large group of people and is heading straight for our house. Looking at his murderous look, I'm afraid he is coming with bad intentions. Na!"
"What!?" He Zhen exclaimed, and a few drops of cold sweat immediately broke out on the tip of his nose.
"Wu Jinhun is a loyal supporter of the Xu family. He must be here to avenge Xu Yaoting."
"Lord He, why are you panicking? You are of the first rank in the dynasty and have a high status. Even the Black Golden Soul would not dare to do anything to you?"
"What do you know!?" He Zhen couldn't help but screamed, looking at Duan Peng with eyes as sharp as a knife, wanting to carve out a piece of flesh from his body. This guy doesn't understand the situation in the Qingyun Empire at all, but he's still trying to be smart here. It's simply abominable!
"The current Qingyun Empire is ostensibly run by the Emperor, but in fact, almost all power falls in the hands of the Xu family. If Wu Jinhun really wants to kill me, it will only be in vain. Your Majesty At most, I could scold him a few times and ruin my reputation. What's wrong with him?"
Although Duan Xuan is a resourceful person, he is now in the Qingyun Empire and there is nothing he can do. He said to He Zhen, "Master He, now that something has happened, we can't just sit back and wait for death, right?"
He Zhen glanced at Duan Xuan and said solemnly, "At the moment, I am afraid that we can only get through this current situation by using Lord Duan's identity as the special envoy of the Iron War Dynasty and constantly putting pressure on the emperor."
Duan Xuan felt the responsibility and immediately said, "Don't worry, Mr. He, Duan will do his best!"
He Zhen nodded, turned his head sharply to look at the housekeeper who was almost scared to death, and said sternly, "You must immediately gather all the guards and soldiers in the house, even if they can't stop Wu Jinhun's soldiers, It’s better to delay for some time. Then go to the palace to see the emperor, and be sure to invite the emperor! I hope that Wu Jinhun can give the emperor some face, otherwise it will be difficult for everyone in the He family to stay! "
"Yes... yes!" The housekeeper responded hurriedly and left in a hurry.
"Here comes someone!" He Zhen shouted after sending the butler away.
Several servants did not dare to neglect and came over immediately. He Zhen pointed at He Yanxu and said, "Take the young master to the back hall and hide him. Take good care of him without making any mistakes!"
After explaining all this, He Zhen was already sweating profusely. With a pop, he fell down on the Grand Master's chair, took the wine bottle from the wine table, raised his neck and drank it hard.
Duan Peng and Duan Biao couldn't help but look at each other, and they despised He Zhen to the utmost extent. In such a small situation, He Zhen was so hopeless that he resorted to drinking to strengthen his courage, which really tarnished the reputation of a first-class official.
Duan Peng and Duan Biao thought this, which was not surprising at all, because they had never seen the power of Wujin Soul!
"He Zhen, you bitch, get out of here!" Wu Jinhun led a large group of people to He Mansion, surrounded the entire He Mansion into an iron barrel from front to back, and immediately opened his mouth to curse. The angry roar spread for miles, and he really didn't intend to save any face for He Zhen.
"General Wu, this is the He Mansion. What you are doing is a bit against the rules, isn't it?" Before He Zhen came out, a guard from the He Mansion jumped out and said rudely to Wu Jinhun.
Wu Jinhun just glanced at him sideways, and then snapped his fingers. Immediately, a rain of arrows covered the eyes of the guardian. He didn't even have a chance to react. In the blink of an eye, the lively and vigorous Hefu nurse was transformed into a hedgehog.
Wu Jinhun's move was both cruel and resolute, and it immediately had the miraculous effect of killing chickens to scare monkeys. The guards and soldiers of the He Mansion were all trembling with fear, and their expressions suddenly changed.
"You damn He Zhen, are you going to be a coward? If you don't come out, I will set a fire and burn your turtle nest!"
What is supposed to come will always come. He Zhen knows better than anyone else that there is no way to avoid all this today by hiding. He gritted his teeth and walked out in big strides. Duan Xuan, Wei Chunqiu, Duan Peng, and Duan Biao were still loyal and did not abandon him. They followed him out of He Mansion.
As soon as He Zhen stepped out of He's house, he saw the guard who was transformed into a hedgehog. His already pale complexion added a touch of green.
Duan Xuan's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. This General Wujinhunwu was really ruthless. The two protagonists hadn't even appeared yet, and they were already killing each other
As soon as he saw He Zhen, Wu Jinhun felt as if he had seen his enemy who killed his wife and took away his son. His eyes immediately turned blood red, and even his breathing became heavy, with invisible but biting coldness. The murderous aura is like an invisible storm, spreading and raging all over the sky, making people tremble with fear. (To be continued)
