Chapter 121: The Emperor Arrives

Helian Fei also knew what Pei Liu meant, "Little General Pei, don't worry, we know." ”

"Hmm." Pei Liu answered, then stepped aside and didn't say anything more, as the host, he had done everything he needed to remind, if anything happened again, it would have nothing to do with him.

So soon, Helian Fei and the others moved their luggage back to the post house, and then closed the door.

"What should we do now, Thirteenth Prince?" After Helian Fei finished putting things in place, he went straight to Wan Yanwu's room, pacing anxiously in front of him.

Even if Helian Fei is calm and indifferent in front of others, this kind of life-threatening matter can't help but make him feel worried. It can't be said that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, how can a person who can fight from the battlefield and sit in his current position be afraid of death. It's just that this senseless sacrifice is too unnecessary.

Wan Yan Wu thought for a moment, looked at Helian Fei, who was still walking around, and said flatly: "My suggestion, it's best to make two plans now, one is to find out the matter, and you have nothing to do with the general, of course, this possibility is very small; The other is to start looking for a scapegoat to minimize the negative impact of the matter. Personally, it's best to cite personal grievances. ”

Wanyan didn't want Helian Fei to fold in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, otherwise when he returned to the Northern Desert, he would definitely be sacrificed by the King of the Northern Desert, and his unimportant son was naturally inferior to Helian Fei, a general.

Even if it is for himself, he has to try his best to plan for him, and only by saving his life can he have the opportunity to complete the later calculations and avenge himself and his mother.

Helian Fei thought carefully about what Yan Wu said, and asked with some hesitation, "What is the worst outcome of this matter?" ”

Wan Yan raised his eyes and stared at him when he heard this, there was a faint ridicule in those beautiful Danfeng eyes, his eyebrows raised, and his always cold and hard face actually had a little more charming charm because of this, "The worst result?" He sneered, "Naturally, I left you in Dongzhou completely." ”

If the Eastern Zhou Emperor planned to take this opportunity to kill Helian Fei directly, even if the Northern Desert King made trouble later, it would be difficult for the Northern Desert to be the opponent of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and if the Eastern Zhou Dynasty threw out the charge that Helian Fei intended to murder Mo Wuxian, then the Northern Desert King could not find a suitable reason even if he wanted to avenge Helian Fei. I can only swallow this stuffy loss hard.

Helian Fei was silent for a long time after listening to this, and then sighed with a little headache, "I know, thank you prince for mentioning it, I will be ready." ”

If Mo Wuxian really died in this assassination, then the Eastern Zhou Emperor probably really had the intention of leaving Helian Fei, but unfortunately, Mo Wuxian did not die, but was in a coma, in this way, if he really left Helian Fei behind, then when he and the Northern Desert King fought a defeat, it would allow Mo Wuxian to benefit from it, compared to a general who is not too threatening at the moment except for another country, solving Mo Wuxian is an important thing for him.

After all, as long as there is Mo Wuxian for one day, the Eastern Zhou Emperor feels that his Zhou throne will be lost in the next moment, even if Mo Wuxian is already a blind man.

Therefore, the current Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty not only does not want to leave Helian Fei, but also especially hopes that he can return to the Northern Desert safely and without losing a single hair.

"No, Prince Ben is just for himself." Wan Yan Wu indifferently rejected Helian Fei's thanks. The two of them weren't destined to be friends, so why bother.

Helian Fei also knew what Wan Yan Wu meant, but he still insisted on thanking him before going out to start preparing.

Wan Yanwu looked at the sky outside, the gloomy weather, there seemed to be a kind of heavy wind and rain, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Sure enough, something happened that afternoon.

When a person who specializes in collecting corpses pulls the corpses of the Assassins back to Yizhuang in the palace to sort out their remains, he accidentally finds a collar token in the clothes of an Assassin.

This corpse collector is also a greedy person, and it is common to scavenge some bits and pieces on the dead from time to time, this time the corpse collector saw the fine workmanship of this token, and the material had not been seen, and he thought that it might be something valuable, so he immediately took it to the pawnshop and gave him three taels of silver, although it was not much, but it was also a small windfall, and it still made him happy for a long time.

However, the owner of this pawnshop has also seen the world, and the most important thing is that it happened to be a former subordinate of the Pei family in the barracks, and he immediately recognized that this thing was made of ore unique to the Northern Desert, and looking at the pattern on it, it should be Helian Fei's exclusive mark. So he kept an eye on it, wrote down the home address of the person who collected the corpse, and told Xiao Pei about it by the way.

And after Xiao Pei knew about this, he went to find the corpse collector, and then happened to learn that this token was found from the assassin who assassinated Mo Wuxian.

And then immediately after, this matter happened to be spread by a person who was not strict with his mouth.

Of course, as for whether this is really such a coincidence, or something else, no one will pursue it.

As a result, the appearance of this token once again pushed Helian Fei to the forefront.

That night, Liu Shangshu, Master Li and Xiao Pei, who finally took a breath, once again boarded the gate of the post house.

Xiao Pei threw the token in his hand to Helian Fei, and said lightly: "Don't say that this is not General Helian's guards, but I have seen it many times on the waist of the brother next to you." "This time, the dominant person has changed from Liu Shangshu and Master Li to Pei Liu.

Helian Fei caught the token thrown by Pei Liu and took a closer look, this was indeed the token of his close guard, just to prevent others from copying this token, he also made a mark on it himself.

His face immediately sank, and he didn't know which fool was beside him, and he didn't know if he lost his token? If he knew who it was, he would reward him with fifty sticks.

He didn't believe that no one was intervening behind this matter, after all, even if Mo Wuxian was injured and unconscious, there were still Nalan Fanyin and Chu Yanzhi in the side by side royal mansion, so it was possible not to search those assassins from beginning to end, and still leave such a flaw?

But at this time, he could only pretend to be surprised, "This... This token is a counterfeit. "He's gambling that others don't know the secret of the token.

However, he was soon disappointed, and Pei Liu directly sneered, "Why, General Helian even forgot the mark he made on the token?" It's a mark you made, and no one else can imitate it. ”

Pei Liuke is a good boy who is diligent and hard-working, and naturally he will have a thorough understanding of his opponent, after all, knowing himself and knowing his opponent is not invincible, Helian Fei's habit may not be known to others, but he knows it clearly.

was exposed by Pei Liu in public, Helian Fei's face instantly became a little unbearable, and he coughed lightly twice in embarrassment, "Ahem, this... General Ben didn't take it seriously just now, but when he heard General Xiao Pei say this, he looked at it again just now, it was the guards next to General Ben. But what does this mean? Could it be that the guard token next to General Ben was lost and picked up, or someone stole the token and planned to blame General Ben? ”

"General Helian thinks... Do you believe this yourself? Pei Liuwen snorted with some disdain, making it clear that he didn't believe his words.

"Whether General Ben believes it or not, at least General Pei can't deny this possibility, right?" Helian Fei gritted his teeth, intending to do his best to carry it to the end.

"Then ask General Helian to call the guards around you and ask who has lost their token." Pei Liu turned around and sat down, looking like I watched you perform.

Liu Shangshu looked at Helian Fei, who was standing in place with an embarrassed expression, and wanted to open his mouth to relieve the siege for him, but when he got Pei Liu's gloomy and sympathetic eyes with murderous intent, he swallowed back the words in an instant.

Although he is His Majesty's person, after all, it is not easy to mess with the palace side by side, it is better to turn a blind eye when he can give face, and when His Majesty asks, just push all the pots on Pei Liu's body, Mingzhe self-preservation is the royal way to survive in the cracks. To put it bluntly, it is the grass on the wall, and no matter which side of the power falls, neither end can be offended.

Helian Fei was so anxious in his heart, he knew that none of the guards who followed him to the Eastern Zhou this time lost their tokens, because if someone lost it, it was impossible not to report him, at this time, he was pressed by Pei Liu step by step, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Just when he was about to give up struggling, he heard a narrow shout unique to eunuchs outside: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
