"Here you go!"

......

at the same time.

The He family, accompanied by more than a hundred guards and carrying torches, hurriedly returned to Luoyang from Chunyu Qiong's camp.

After inquiring about the situation from Zhu Ying, the Prefect of Henan, and Zhao Mo, the Commandant of the Guards, they mobilized a thousand men from the General of Chariots and Cavalry and marched menacingly toward Liu Hua's residence.

Before long, the Princess's residence was surrounded by soldiers, and torches illuminated the surrounding area.

"General, what is your purpose in bringing troops to our door in the dead of night?"

"Find him! The King of Yunzhong just killed the General of Chariots and Cavalry and is surely hiding in your residence. Hand him over immediately."

Beneath the blazing torches, flames flickered in He Jin's eyes as well.

Because He Miao was close to Empress He and willingly served as her henchman, He Jin was very disgusted with his second brother.

But now, finding Liu Wei is the key, otherwise today's careful planning will be in vain.

"You must be mistaken. After the King of Clouds went to the palace, he has never returned."

Liu Hua said coldly.

"Heh heh, who would believe that! I must go into the mansion tonight to find them!" He Jin shouted.

"What if I don't allow it?" Liu Hua retorted defiantly.

"Then don't blame me for being impolite." He waved his hand, about to order his men to go in and search.

"General, the gatekeeper of the East Gate reports that someone has secretly opened the city gate and escaped!"

What!

"Useless trash! How could he guard the city gate like that? Execute him!"

He Jin was furious.

Are the guards at the city gate just there to watch over the gate and prevent it from falling?

He Jin glared fiercely at the Princess's residence and decided not to go in to search.

If he were to go in, it would mean a complete break with the royal family.

Furthermore, Liu Wei must have guessed that He Jin would come to search the Princess's residence, so he wouldn't be waiting here for the He family to arrest him.

Now that I hear someone escaping from the East Gate, I can't help but think it must be Liu Wei!

"withdraw!"

"Hurry to the East Gate! It's so late, he can't have gone far!"

At that very moment, flames shot into the sky from the direction of Beiman Mountain!

The six hundred elite troops that Yuan Shao had arranged all appeared and launched an attack!
