"Mr. Zhao, don't you want to know who is going to kill you?"

"I know the inside story, as long as you let me go, I will tell you!"

Seeing Zhao Chen and the others getting closer, Gongsun Zan seemed to have grasped the last straw.

"Oh, let's hear it!"

Hearing Gongsun Zan's words, Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows, and finally stopped.

In fact, he already had some guesses in his mind, but it would be even better if Gongsun Zan could confirm it.

"Then I said, you have to let me go, otherwise I'll let this secret go down with me!"

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Gongsun Zan was excited, he felt that he had grasped the hope of life.

"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me, but if your information is reliable, I can consider it!"

"Okay, it's actually the one who wants to kill you."

"puff!"

Before Gongsun Zan finished speaking, a sudden change occurred.

A flash of sword light suddenly flashed across Gongsun Zan's neck, and Gongsun Zan's head fell to the ground.

He never had a chance to say what he said later.

It wasn't until this moment that the crowd came to their senses in shock, and they all turned to look at Liu Bei who suddenly violently murdered.

They didn't understand why Liu Bei did this.

"Brother, who are you?"

Even Zhang Fei and Guan Yu on the side couldn't understand Liu Bei's operation at this time, and it was obvious that Gongsun Zan was about to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Mr. Zhao, I think Gongsun Zan is clearly delaying time and waiting for reinforcements!"

"I was worried that things would change if I was late, so I killed myself!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Bei quickly put down the male and female twin swords in his hand, and explained to Zhao Chen.

Hearing this far-fetched reason, everyone present fell silent.

Even Zhang Fei, who had the biggest heart, felt that something was wrong.

"So that's the case, brother Xuande has a heart!"

Zhao Chen didn't say anything, just took a deep look at Liu Bei, and didn't ask any more questions.

Now it doesn't matter whether Gongsun Zan speaks or not, he has already got the answer he wanted.

"Zhao Yun!"

"I'm here!"

"Now, as the regent, I will confer on you the prefect of Beiping, commanding the former Youzhou Ministry, there must be no mistake!"

"I will obey orders!"

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, he actually had no idea about being an official.

But when he saw Zhao Chen's serious expression, he still nodded and agreed.

"Mr. Zhao, isn't this inappropriate?"

"The emperor needs to nod to become an official or a noble. Are we acting a little bit overstepped?"

Liu Bei on the side heard Zhao Chen's words, and warned again.

"I am the regent appointed by the emperor. I can make decisions on all matters concerning the royal family. This is what the emperor personally agrees to!"

"What's wrong with conferring a prefect?"

"Brother Xuande, is he questioning the emperor's decision?"

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhao Chen turned his head and looked at him coldly.

At this moment, he is extremely strong, like a monarch who truly commands the world!

"This grassroots dare not!"

Feeling Zhao Chen's extremely oppressive eyes, Liu Bei hurriedly bowed his head and didn't dare to say more.

"Zhao Chen, why are you treating my elder brother like this all of a sudden!"

Liu Bei dare not speak, does not mean that others dare not.

Zhang Fei who was standing by the side saw his elder brother being oppressed by Zhao Chen like this, and immediately became unhappy.

He just felt that there was a problem between the two of them.

Zhao Chen's address for Liu Bei suddenly changed from Little Liu to Brother Xuande.

Although it sounds like a lot of respect, but there is always a kind of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away.

"Oh, what did I do to him?"

"Am I wrong?"

Hearing Zhang Fei's question, Zhao Chen also changed from his gentle and refined manner before, and said in a cold tone.

"you"

"Okay, third brother, I said the wrong thing first, Mr. Zhao should be unhappy, don't talk too much!"

Just when Zhang Fei was about to say something more, Liu Bei suddenly interrupted him.

"Humph!"

Hearing Liu Bei's reprimand, Zhang Fei glanced at Zhao Chen angrily, then turned around and walked towards the outside of the mansion, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Seeing the current situation, Guan Yu also sighed, turned around and chased Zhang Fei without saying anything.

"If there's nothing wrong, the grass people will also leave!"

Seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had left, Liu Bei bowed deeply to Zhao Chen, and then slowly retreated.

For a while, only Zhao Chen, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao were left in the Han Mansion.

"Zhao Chen, you."

Seeing that everyone had almost left, Zhao Yun was about to ask Zhao Chen why he did this.

Suddenly, Ma Chao was found beside him, and he swallowed back the words he had just uttered.

"I'm going out for a walk too!"

Seeing Zhao Yun like this, Ma Chao was also very savvy, and got up to leave.

"No, you're right here!"

"I have something to tell you!"

At this moment, Zhao Chen suddenly made a sound and stopped Ma Chao who was about to get up.

"But before that, I want to ask you something."

"you say!"

Looking at Zhao Chen's serious expression, Ma Chao also became serious.

"Do you remember what I told you and your father before?"

Zhao Chen stared straight at Ma Chao, and spoke slowly.

"Remember, you asked us to be loyal to the royal family and you from now on, otherwise our Ma family will not exist in the future!"

"Don't worry about that, our Ma family always keeps our word!"

Hearing Zhao Chen's question, Ma Chao thought that Zhao Chen was worried about their Ma family's reputation, so he immediately assured him.

"That's not what I want to talk about. What I want to ask is, your Ma family, or you, if you had to choose between me and the royal family, who would you choose?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole room was instantly silent.

Zhao Yun on the side looked at Zhao Chen in shock, does this guy know what he is talking about?

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you just represent the royal family?"

"Why choose?"

Ma Chao on the side finally recovered from Zhao Chen's words, he looked at Zhao Chen like he was looking at a madman.

"Don't worry about it, just tell me who you choose!"

Looking at Zhao Chen's serious face, Ma Chao knew that Zhao Chen was not joking.

But why?
Isn't he the real brother of today's emperor?The regent king of the first big man?

Why are you asking him such a sensitive question now? Is it a temptation?

"It was you who confiscated the military power of my Ma family back then, and of course our Ma family also expressed their loyalty to you!"

"So, if you have to choose between you and the royal family, our Ma family, or me personally, choose you!"

Ma Chao thought for a long time before speaking slowly.

"Okay, remember your answer!"

"Ma Chao!"

"exist!"

"From now on, you are the new Xiliang prefect!"

"Same as Zhao Yun, you will be in charge of the old Xiliang Ministry from now on, there must be no mistakes!"

After the words fell, Zhao Chen took out the seal representing Xiliang military power from the free space, and solemnly handed it to Ma Chao!
