C45 (1/2)
Everyone was filled with doubts. They didn't understand why Liu Peng had appeared in the Southern Water Country during the war between the two countries.
Compared to the others who were shocked, Liu Zhitian and Nangong Zhen's actions were one of utter astonishment and disbelief.
They never imagined that Yan Xiaoxi and Nangong Lin would actually send for Liu Peng.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the matter would be exposed and all that they had done would be for naught.
”Enter the Emperor.” Liu Peng clasped his hands and bowed to Nangong Xiao.
Nangong Xiao frowned slightly as she sized up Yan Xiaoxi and Nangong Lin. The two of them seemed to be prepared.
”Get up.” He raised his hand to indicate for Liu Peng to immediately stand straight in the middle of the hall.
”Your majesty, the Mirror Kingdom has gone too far. They actually sent Liu Peng here at a time like this. We absolutely cannot be merciful and kill him.” Liu Zhitian excitedly gave his opinion to Nangong Xiao.
Nangong Xiao swept Liu Zhitian a glance and said solemnly, ”General Liu, don't you know that? When two nations fight, we don't kill and we don't use it. ”
These words immediately blocked Liu Zhitian's path. He awkwardly stood where he was. As a general, how could he have made such a low level mistake?
”The Emperor is truly righteous.” Liu Peng bowed to show his respect.
”General Liu, why have you come to my Nanshui Country?” Nangong Xiao asked.
”This general will tell you one thing.” Liu Peng didn't conceal anything and immediately stated his purpose of coming.
His words drew everyone's attention to Yan Xiaoxi, causing them to wonder if what Yan Xiaoxi said was true.
This time, perhaps there was another reason for Dongjing's invasion?
”General, feel free to speak.” Nangong Xiao immediately agreed.
Liu Peng looked at Yan Xiaoxi and was about to say something when his gaze suddenly shifted to Liu Zhitian's hand.
Liu Zhitian held a crystal clear jade pendant in his hand. The moment Liu Peng saw it, his expression changed.
He clenched his fists. No one showed any expression on his face. However, his gaze was firmly fixed on the jade pendant.
Suddenly, Liu Peng retracted his gaze. He first glanced at Yan Xiaoxi before looking at Nangong Xiao, who was sitting on the dragon throne. After considering it over and over again, he finally had an answer in his heart.
This time, Liu Peng didn't say anything. Instead, he suddenly laughed, turned around, pointed at the court official, and arrogantly said, ”You can't really think that this general came here to explain the Dongjing Country's attack, right?”
Everyone was stunned by Liu Peng's sudden appearance. No one understood what he actually meant.
If he hadn't come for this matter, then why had Princess Lin come for this matter? What did she mean by her words just now?
Everyone's gaze swept over Liu Peng's body in every direction as they were truly astonished by his actions.
”What does General Liu mean by this?” Liu Zhitian smiled with satisfaction and put the jade pendant back into his sleeve.
”What does General Liu want to say?” Nangong Zhen complied. In the entire hall, there was probably no one more clear than him and Liu Zhitian on why Liu Peng suddenly changed his mind and why he did this.
Liu Zhitian and Nangong Zhen looked at each other. Nangong Zhen's crafty eyes unexpectedly showed a hint of praise towards Liu Zhitian.
The older, the wiser. That was not wrong at all.
If it wasn't for Liu Zhitian, Liu Peng would probably tell them everything about their conspiracy. At that time, they would suffer the consequences and bring disaster upon themselves.
Yan Xiaoxi also saw this move. She could tell that Liu Peng definitely had something up his sleeve, because his smile was so unreal and filled with reluctance.
She had also noticed the jade pendant that Liu Zhitian had taken out. At first, she was puzzled by this behavior.
It was only now that Yan Xiaoxi finally understood that Liu Zhitian had something on Liu Peng.
”What do you mean, you don't understand?” Liu Zhitian laughed even more arrogantly.
