"Is this... over?"

Seeing the students tied up in strings by the palace attendants, the group of imperial students couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Brother Li, what should we do...?"

After watching the students being taken away, a student from the Imperial Academy came up to Li Qing and asked in a low voice.

Li Qing's face was gloomy, and he said through gritted teeth:

"That Cao Cao slapped scholars and students at will, wantonly trampling on the dignity of us scholars."

Those Imperial Guard trainees were aiding and abetting evil; if we let them go so easily, how will we, the scholars, maintain our dignity?

"That's right, Brother Li is right. If we don't get justice, how can we face anyone?"

"They absolutely must be punished!"

After Li Qing's encouragement, the students of the Imperial Academy also chimed in.

Although many of them were not familiar with these students, they were naturally furious to see fellow students being beaten and bullied.

"Alright everyone, this feud is now settled. We still need to petition the Empress Dowager and His Majesty today, so we'll discuss this matter later!"

Seeing that his purpose of sowing discord had been achieved, Li Qing wasted no more time and immediately led a group of imperial students toward the outside of the Southern Palace.

Just after the students left, a spy from the Investigation Department caught up with Li Li.

"Li Zuoshi, they've headed towards Nangong!"

Li Li snorted: "Hmph~, let them be. They're just a few people, they can't cause any trouble! Tell the brothers to keep a close eye on them, and arrest anyone who starts a fight immediately!"

"promise!!"

On the other side, Sun Jian and the others who were taken away had only gone halfway when they encountered more than a thousand Imperial Guards students who came to their aid.

Liu Bei stepped forward to look at Sun Jian and asked urgently:

"Wentai, where are Benchu ​​and Mengde?"

Sun Jian said solemnly, "Their injuries are severe, and they have been sent to the medical school!"

"What? These bastards actually managed to get Ben and the others into medical school?"

"Those damn bastards..."

"They have such audacity..."

"Go teach them a lesson!!"

Upon hearing that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had been injured, the Imperial Guards students nearby flew into a rage and clamored to go and teach those students a lesson again.

"What's all the noise about? Get back here, you bastards!!"

Just then, Xu Rong, Zhu Jun, and others caught up and took the Imperial Guard trainees back.

Medical school.

Upon learning that many wounded people were about to arrive, the medical students were overjoyed and followed Hua Tuo to greet them.

At the entrance of the medical school, a court official looked at Hua Tuo before him and said with a smile:

"Dr. Hua, these people all come from wealthy and influential families. You must arrange for them to receive treatment as soon as possible. As for the medical expenses, you don't need to worry about them...!"

"Hmm, no problem..."

Hua Tuo nodded, then waved to the disciple beside him.

"Master, please give your instructions!!"

Upon seeing this, Hua Lao quickly approached with a smile.

Hua Tuo glanced indifferently at the injured: "Categorize them according to the severity of their injuries. Those with severe fractures, hand them over to me; the rest are for you to practice on!"

Hua Lao nodded happily: "Alright!! Master, just you wait and see!"

Soon, the stretcher team from the medical school carried the groaning injured into the medical school according to the severity of their injuries.

Seeing the injured groaning in pain on the hospital beds, the medical students used all their skills and began treating them with great enthusiasm.

"Ah~!"

"No!"

"Let me go!!!"

Inhuman screams echoed once again from the various wards of the medical school.

Meanwhile, news of the fight between the Imperial Guard cadets and the group of scholars reached Liu Hong's ears through the Investigation Department.

"Haha~, these guys really know how to share my burdens!"

Upon learning the details of the entire fight, Liu Hong couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Especially Cao Cao, who slapped people and cut off their legs, completely ignited the hatred between the scholars and the Imperial Guard.

Liu Hong then picked up a plan that Yang Qiu had sent him and began to think about it carefully.

Originally, Liu Hong only intended to use public opinion and the dissatisfaction of workers and soldiers to deal with the rumors and petitions spread by those people.

After seeing Yang Qiu's plan, Liu Hong suddenly thought of a better method, a method that would achieve multiple goals at once.

A moment later, Liu Hong smiled and looked outside the hall.

"Someone come here!"

"exist!!"

Upon hearing the emperor's call, the Imperial Guards on duty in front of the palace strode in and bowed to Liu Hong.

What are your orders, Your Majesty?

"By imperial decree, the Imperial Guard trainees, whose daily training is extremely arduous, are hereby granted a three-day rest period, effective immediately, to allow them to relax and unwind in the streets..."

Furthermore, notify the Sili Office, the Court of Justice, the Magistrate of Luoyang, and the Commander of the Imperial Guards that the upcoming assessment is of utmost importance. Anyone who disrupts public order must be arrested and imprisoned until after the assessment!

"promise!!"

"And...bring Zhicai here!"

"promise!!"

The guard loudly accepted the order and quickly left.

Meanwhile, thanks to the efforts of those who were interested, news of the street brawl between scholars and students and Imperial Guardsmen quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Luoyang.

It's worth noting that hundreds of people were involved in a brawl, something that had never happened before, and it sparked a heated discussion among countless people and students.
