"This Lu Bu, I see that you are not bad to me, so I reminded you, so as not to lose your position in the future, but now it seems that you don't agree with it at all, so I have no choice, you will go the wrong way in the future, don't blame me for not reminding. Let me see what this princess says in her letter. even engaged in fire paint sealing. ”

Pei Qing shook his head, no longer paying attention to Lu Bu's matter, but opened Princess Wannian's letter and read it.

I saw that the letter read: "Pei Yuanjun, you are so smart, you are so dangerous, you actually hid the imperial court prisoners in the pavilion, I really don't know who gave you the courage to dare to do this, do you know that this is a great crime of extermination?" Your secret palace is fully known, if you want Cai Yong's father and daughter and Dong Bai and them, including you, to save their lives, you have to rely on me for one thing, tomorrow if my imperial brother asks for something, you must agree, otherwise, uh-huh, you know the consequences. ”

Pei Qing suddenly shuddered when he read the content of the letter, but he didn't expect this Wannian princess to still spy on his secret, not to mention Lu Bu, even Xu Xuan, who had been going back and forth to the post house several times, and had always had a close relationship with Pei Qing, did not find out.

"Damn, this girl is so quiet, she actually used this to hold me hostage, I really don't know what to ask me tomorrow, but it seems that I have no choice, if I don't agree, not only will my many days of calculations all turn into water, but I have to go back to be a bandit, even Zhao Ji and their lives are difficult to protect, alas, it is really a wise man's thousand thoughts, there must be a mistake, I am dignified Pei Qing, I was played by a girl between applause."

Although Pei Qing is very disgusting now, he has to follow what Princess Wannian said, he can only secretly pray in his heart, this girl must not give herself too many problems, otherwise this choice is really not easy.

Early the next morning, Pei Qing, who was preoccupied, could only cheer up and enter the palace with Lu Bu to meet the Son of Heaven.

Along the way, Lu Bu did not sit in a sedan chair, but rode his red rabbit horse, all the way high-spirited, and even at the gates of the palace, he didn't dare to ask after seeing Lu Bu, and let him go directly.

Lu Bu was proud, and said with a smile: "Bu is a little famous in this palace, and the soldiers everywhere have respect for me when they see me, so they will take the initiative to open the door, virtuous brother, in fact, life is sometimes like this, the same person, but if you stand in a different position, the treatment you get is different, when I was a subordinate under Dong Zhuo, where did I think of today's scenery?" Are you willing to abandon Yingchuan and follow me? I will definitely not treat you badly, with my brother's current ability, even if I get you a lieutenant, it will not be a difficult task. ”

Of course, it was inconvenient for Pei Qing to offend Lu Bu at this time, but naturally he would not do the thing that followed him, because if nothing went wrong, Lu Bu would immediately lose his power and become a lost dog.

So Pei Qing shirked: "The last general's ability is low, even if he is this Yingchuan Taishou, he feels a little reluctant, how can he be the captain of Si Li?" General, don't be kidding. ”

"Haha, it's not right for a virtuous brother to do this, a man's husband, who doesn't want to be able to get in and out of the picture? Who can not have some ideals? If you continue to rest on your laurels like this, your future achievements will definitely not be high. ”

Although Lu Bu did not persuade Pei Qing, he was still very happy, because he successfully found out from Pei Qing that this Pei Qing had no ambitions and was not a problem, and from then on he could rest assured.

The two of them came to the door of the front hall as they spoke, Lu Bu pointed to the front and said: "The front is the front hall, this is the most luxurious place in the Weiyang Palace, where the Son of Heaven ascends the throne, accepts the courtiers, royal weddings and funerals, etc., are held here, the Son of Heaven is willing to summon you here, it is enough to see the importance of you, okay, even I can't easily enter and exit here, I must report to enter, and wait for the Son of Heaven to call to enter, although the little emperor basically will not refuse, I am also qualified to enter directly, But after all, you want to give the Son of Heaven a face, right? ”

Lu Bu and Pei Qing reported their names and official positions, and soon after hearing the news of the Son of Heaven's summons, the two removed their boots and weapons, and walked into the front hall under the guidance of the attendants.

"Weichen Pei Qing (Lu Bu) see Your Majesty." Before coming to Danqi, Pei Qing and Lu Bu hurriedly paid a visit, and they were very respectful.

At this time, I only heard a childish child's voice: "Two Aiqing, free of courtesy, give a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Then Pei Qing and Lu Bu lined up on both sides and made it to the cushion under the guidance of the guards.

Then I saw the Son of Heaven say: "I have heard that Pei Aiqing has both ability and political integrity, loyal to Sheji, and beneficial to the people of Li, although he is far away in Yingchuan, he can raise troops and Qin Wang, defeat Dong Yue, and then defeat Niu Fu, Xiliang rebels, flee from the wind, Qing Li is so great, if I don't reward it, the loyal people in the world will definitely be disappointed, so I worship as a general, Qing Qi is reluctant." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Pei Qing was actually not satisfied with the position given by the emperor, although he was now a general from a lieutenant general, but this was a general, and he belonged to the lowest existence among the generals.

No matter what, he can be regarded as having made a great contribution, but he didn't expect that the imperial court would just give him such an official position, which was really uncomfortable, Pei Qing took advantage of the opportunity to get up and secretly glanced at the little emperor, only to see that the little emperor was also full of embarrassment and helplessness.

Lu Bu on the side first complained about Pei Qing, and bowed to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, Pei Qing defeated the Xiliang general this time and made great contributions, but he was only promoted to General Pei, which really chilled the hearts of my martial artists, and asked Your Majesty to add officials to Pei Qing again to comfort the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals." ”

However, Situ Wang Yun flashed out and said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, is the edict of the Son of Heaven child's play? How can you say that you can change it? Although Pei Qing made meritorious contributions, Dong Yue was scared away by himself, and Niu Fu's death was another reason, Pei Qing sat back and enjoyed his success, picking up a general for nothing, it was cheap enough, how to say that he was cold? General Pei, do you say that the old man said yes or no? ”

Behind Wang Yun, Pei Mao also secretly glanced at Pei Qing, Pei Qing realized that he was only promoted to General Pi, this was actually Wang Yun's intention, he thought about it carefully, and then he realized that he was relatively close to Lu Bu these days, which caused Wang Yun's dissatisfaction, so he deliberately gave him a general, one was disgusting him, and the other was a warning, so he didn't get so close to Lu Bu.

Pei Qing suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, in fact, his relationship with Lu Bu was not as close as Wang Yun imagined, but Lu Bu couldn't be offended due to his identity, so he had to be perfunctory, but because of this reason, his official fortune was hindered.

However, Pei Qing had no choice but to bow down and say yes, which made Wang Yun very proud, and Lu Bu was so angry that his face changed, but he couldn't help it.

However, at this moment, the little emperor suddenly spoke again: "Pei Aiqing, I have a reluctant request here, I don't know if Aiqing can agree?" ”
