C165 (2/2)

For the first time, the silent Liu Yuan frowned. He also felt that what he said was a bit too much.

Only Xiao Qian's expression didn't change, but he continued to smile and say, ”Sir Zhao's words are very interesting. Why is it that you speak so clearly about hiding criminals? Could it be that you have done something similar and are experienced?”

Zhao Jian and Wang Wenfu quickly rejected this argument and pointed at their noses, wanting to curse Xiao Qian.

Emperor Wei Wu, who was still as steady as Mt. Tai, took a deep breath, stared at the pill in the censer and clapped his hands as he laughed, ”It's done! Done! ”My pills have been refined!”

Only then did they stop their argument and bow their heads in greeting. ”Congratulations, Your Majesty!”

”Aiya, this is the method I got from Taoist Maoshan not long ago. When this pill is made, it can extend one's lifespan and replenish their thirst. Not bad, not bad.”

Lu really opened the pill furnace, looking at the pills inside with a smile like a flower blooming on his face.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Zhao Jian felt uneasy. He said, ”Your majesty, General Xiao was unable to capture the prisoner this time. He should be punished.”

Lu really did have a sullen face. Only after putting away the pills in the furnace did he look coldly at him and indifferently say, ”Then according to what Master Zhao said, what should we do?”

”We will follow the military rules!”

”Alright, then I will leave the defense of the border to your Zhao Family. I think that Second Young Master Zhao is a rare good material, why not send him to take over the position of Xiao Aimin! ”

Mentioning that bastard Zhao Shu, Zhao Jian's old face turned red.

Although he was his own son, he was very clear about Zhao Ditch's ability to fight against the strong and barbaric Huns.

”Your majesty is joking. My son is incompetent and cannot take on such a heavy responsibility.”

Lu Gu helplessly shook his head, ”So, how does Master Zhao want to deal with this? According to the military rules, Xiao Aimin should be handed over to the justice courts, responsible for squatting in the inner prison and setting down her exile. However, since no one is guarding the border, you must find a substitute! ”

Zhao Jian was silent.

Xiao Qian's position in the Great Wei Army was unshakable.

This person was born to be a general, and his ability far surpassed his grandfather's generation. Even Qi Nian who was at the same level as him couldn't match him.

Because of this, even if Xiao Qian had committed a crime, it could be ignored.

Zhao Jian was unwilling to accept this. He believed that Emperor Wei Wu was biased towards him, but he had no other choice.

”Xiao Aiqing, what do you think?”

”Those three have indeed fallen into the sea, and there is no chance of them surviving. If Your Majesty is willing to trust this humble subject, this humble subject is willing to use my life to protect Great Wei River, and will not refuse!”

Wei Wu Emperor knocked on the table. His gaze shifted to the side and asked again: ”What does Liu Aiqing not want to say?”

Liu Yuan nodded and replied, ”This humble subject is willing to trust General Xiao with His Majesty. Since his Majesty's accession to the throne, the people had lived and worked in peace, and the country had been peaceful and peaceful. Both times of internal troubles had been caused by the people's lack of food, and they had rebelled because they had nowhere to go. As I reflected on the pain, I felt that I should focus on appeasing the will of the people and building a new career for the village and not just for the sake of the argument of the three people who deserve to die! ”

”That's right!” It suits my heart! ”

Liu Yuan shifted the topic of conversation once again, pointing the spear at the essence of the matter.

Why did someone rebel? It was not because they were in danger from the imperial power, but because they couldn't live for long before they decided to take the risk.

Wasn't it because of the corruption and corruption behind the government that the Zhao Family deserved to be punished?

Zhao Jian understood the meaning behind his words and lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

He originally thought that killing those three people would make Xiao Qian punish him for his crimes. Who would have thought that he would be the one to lift a rock and smash his own foot.

This time, the Zhao Family lost again.

When he thought of Zhao Zheng's confident appearance, Zhao Jian's anger flared up and his disappointment with Zhao Du slightly improved.
