When Pei Liu heard this announcement, his face changed, and he lowered his eyes a little unwillingly. He knew in his heart that the Eastern Zhou Emperor came in such a hurry definitely not to block Helian Fei.

But even if he was unwilling and was born a minister, he could only pack up his emotions and follow Liu Shangshu and Master Li to prepare to welcome the Eastern Zhou Emperor.

"See Your Majesty." Several people knelt down and saluted.

At this time, the Eastern Zhou Emperor was still wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and at a glance, he could know that he should have hurried out of the palace after receiving the news, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes. It was only half an hour after this news came out, and the Eastern Zhou Emperor in the palace already knew about it, and he had to make people secretly frightened about his control of the capital. The speed at which he got the news was actually only a little later than Helian Fei himself.

The Eastern Zhou Emperor slowly entered the door, his gray hair was not messy, and a pair of vicissitudes and dangerous eyes revealed an endless chill on his slightly thin face. The expression on his face was faint, making people see what he was thinking at this time.

Helian Fei and Wan Yan Wu saw the Eastern Zhou Emperor walk in, and they also stood up, although they were not the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but the courtesy they should have as guests should still be done, and then they leaned over slightly, and said, "I have seen His Majesty the Eastern Zhou Dynasty." ”

The Eastern Zhou Emperor nodded lightly, then walked to the main seat and sat down, stared at the three Pei Liu who were kneeling below, squinted his eyes, and said lightly for a long time, "Flat." ”

The three of them were stared at for a long time by the Eastern Zhou Emperor's unclear eyes, Pei Liu was better, after all, he was also a person who was mixed up under the destruction of Mo Wuxian, his courage and ability to resist pressure were all good, although he was a little uncomfortable to be stared at by the Eastern Zhou Emperor, he was generally calm and calm.

And Liu Shangshu and Master Li are different, they were stared at by the Eastern Zhou Emperor, their faces immediately turned white, and even fine and dense sweat appeared on their foreheads, thinking in their hearts if His Majesty knew that they were unwilling to offend the side of the king's thoughts, and even stood up a little trembling.

"How's that going with the king?" The words of the Eastern Zhou Emperor are obviously knowingly asked. Everyone else is here, and you don't know what happened?

Liu Shangshu and Master Li, look at me, I look at you, you don't dare to answer. However, Pei Liu stood up fearlessly, and bent over at the Eastern Zhou Emperor, "Back to Your Majesty, the token that the last general just found out in the assassin's hand is the unique token of General Helian's close attendants, and he is asking General Helian to give an explanation, Your Majesty came just in time, why don't you listen to it together?" ”

Emperor Dong Zhou made a smile that didn't smile, and said coldly: "Pei Aiqing is really a big skill." As soon as I heard this, it was not a literal compliment, and it was obvious that the Eastern Zhou Emperor was already very dissatisfied with Pei Liu's ignorance.

Pei Liu didn't seem to hear the voiceover of the Eastern Zhou Emperor, and still replied respectfully, "Your Majesty has praised it falsely, this is all the credit of Liu Shangshu and Master Li, and the last general is just an errand runner." With that positive expression, if it weren't for the fact that the Eastern Zhou Emperor knew what kind of virtue those two goods were, he would probably have to believe what he said.

And Liu Shangshu, who heard Pei Liu's words, was a little resentful, and looked at Pei Liu with a little bit of tears, General Pei, do we have a grudge against you? You are the one who is the king side by side, and Your Majesty can't do anything to you, but we are Your Majesty's people, are you planning to kill us by saying this?

However, Pei Liuniao didn't bird them, he didn't feel the slightest guilt about dragging these two into the water, anyway, we are not in the same camp, in order to prevent the prince from continuing to stumble behind his back in the future, you still have to do well, please die first.

"Oh? Yes, I didn't know that the two Aiqing had this ability. Emperor Dong Zhou glanced at the two people who had been frightened and supported each other, and said lightly.

Your Majesty, we're not, we don't have that ability!! The two shouted frantically in their hearts.

"What did General Helian say?" The Eastern Zhou Emperor no longer paid attention to the two, and turned his head to ask Helian Fei on the side.

Helian Fei also felt a little bit back when he saw this, and the attitude of the Eastern Zhou Emperor didn't seem to want to detain them.

So he replied with some caution, "This... I don't know what's going on below.,The token is in the next close servant.,But.。。。 However, the attendants brought this time are all there, and His Majesty the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is also requested to investigate. ”

"So, General Helian didn't know anything about it?" The Eastern Zhou Emperor raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, I don't know anything about it." Helian Fei nodded.

"I believe in General Helian's character, and this matter should have nothing to do with him." The meaning of this is to tell Pei Liu not to hold Helian Fei anymore and to understand it as soon as possible.

Originally, the Eastern Zhou Emperor didn't want to go out in person, who expected that those two guys were really a waste, not only did not suppress the matter, but also made more and more trouble, in order to prevent things from developing to the point of uncontrollable, the Eastern Zhou Emperor could only ignore the backlash that his own force would cause, and personally went into battle.

"Your Majesty is worthy of His Royal Highness the King by Side by Side?" However, as soon as these words came out, Pei Liu, who had always been respectful and polite, suddenly looked up at him for a while, and then said this faintly.

The Eastern Zhou Emperor didn't react to Pei Liu's sudden change for a while, frowned, and said with some displeasure, "Pei Liu, what do you mean by this?" Do you think I'm biased and can't fly Helian Fei?! Although he did mean this, but being broken by someone so openly, as the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, he still couldn't bear it.

Pei Liu didn't speak, but that expression obviously expressed that I meant that.

"You..." The Eastern Zhou Emperor was angry for his reaction for a while, he really didn't expect him to be so unreasonable, could it be that he was sure that he would not punish him?

"I said, this matter has nothing to do with General Helian, it was Mo Wuxian himself who offended someone and was assassinated, do you understand?" Maybe he was a little ruthless by Pei Liu, but the Eastern Zhou Emperor didn't even hide it, and directly expressed his heart in the most straightforward words.

Pei Liu was silent for a while, and just when the Eastern Zhou Emperor thought he was going to compromise, he saw him kneel directly on the ground, "If Your Majesty must insist on favoring Helian Fei, then Pei Liu begs Your Majesty to remove Pei Liu from his official position." Pei Liu became famous as a young man, and he regarded protecting his family and defending the country as more important than anything else, but at this moment, seeing the emperor of this country act like this, his fiery heart suddenly cooled. It's not because he favors Helian Fei, because he knows that this matter really has nothing to do with him, but His Majesty's attitude towards the prince, the attitude of wanting to get rid of it quickly. The prince was dedicated to protecting the country, but he was treated like this, which made Pei Liu wonder if he would end up like the prince after all his efforts. No one is willing to die for someone who knows it's a dead end, and is willing to give his life just because he is afraid. This disappointment did not appear when he was forced to follow Mo Wuxian back to Beijing, and did not appear when Mo Wuxian was assassinated and persecuted again and again, but it appeared at this moment, disheartened and extremely disappointed.

That being the case, he might as well go home early. What's more, it's a big deal to go back to the frontier by yourself after resigning, although you are not a serious general, but you also come at ease.

"Are you threatening me?" Emperor Dong Zhou looked at Pei Liu, who was kneeling on the ground with a resolute face, and gritted his teeth.

"It's not." Pei Liu replied calmly, with a stagnant water in his eyes.
