You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

Liu Yuntian put one hand behind his back, rubbed his thumb and index finger together, and looked at the two people in front of him with an expressionless face.

At this time, Ye Xinglan smiled and waved his hand, saying: "General Qu, you are too polite."

"Our Daliang is so powerful now. We were able to move from a small mortal dynasty to an immortal dynasty. This was all created by Lord Liu."

After that, he smiled and looked at Liu Yuntian, and continued, "Lord Liu, you have saved the country from collapse over the years. I would like to thank you very much."

Then, Ye Xinglan walked to the door, looked in the direction where Princess Pingyang left, and said indignantly: "Pingyang has really been spoiled by me. She dared to interfere in Mr. Liu's work without knowing the consequences. She is really becoming more and more unruly!"

Ye Xinglan turned to look at Qu Wenwu and said firmly, "General Qu."

"I'm here!" Qu Wenwu responded immediately.

Ye Xinglan sighed to the sky, a melancholy expression on his face, and then he slowly said: "Let her go tonight! You personally send her out of the city!"

"This...I obey your order!"

Qu Wenwu looked at the half-smile on Ye Xinglan's face, and felt more and more uneasy.

He quickly stood up, bowed respectfully to Ye Xinglan, and then slowly backed away until his figure completely disappeared at the gate of Tongxian Palace.

Seeing Qu Wenwu leave, Ye Xinglan turned around and looked at Liu Yuntian with a gentle smile on his face: "My dear Liu, have you finally calmed down now?"

After hearing this, Liu Yuntian couldn't help but ponder it in his heart.

He knew that, according to common sense, if he just wanted to let him vent his anger, he only needed to punish Qu Wenwu slightly.

But now Princess Pingyang was directly driven out of the capital. Such punishment was really too harsh.

After all, as a princess without real power, Princess Pingyang would not have much impact even if she was expelled from the capital.

Could it be that the emperor was afraid that he would kill her for this?

However, the possibility of this happening is extremely small.

Because Princess Pingyang and the emperor have experienced countless ups and downs together, they can be said to be brothers in adversity.

Given Liu Yuntian's current image as a loyal and valiant minister, he cannot easily harm the emperor's relatives under any circumstances.

So, Liu Yuntian decided to test the emperor's true intentions.

He asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, the people I killed were all extremely evil and deserved death. Your Highness the Princess simply barged into the execution ground and did not cause any serious consequences. Is this punishment too severe?"

After hearing what Liu Yuntian said, Ye Xinglan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile: "Lord Liu, do you think I'm joking? You are the pillar of our Daliang. If she affects your mood and causes you to be unable to serve the court wholeheartedly, then what will happen to the future of our Daliang?"

too exaggerated!

Liu Yuntian felt his scalp tingling, as if there was a big stone blocking the way on the road. After he kicked it away, a man suddenly rushed out and smashed the stone into pieces, saying as he smashed it: You bad stone, you hurt my foot, do you know that?

But it doesn’t matter, you are the emperor and you have the final say. He turned his head and looked at the sky. The moon was already high in the sky.

Liu Yuntian stood up and bowed to Ye Xinglan, saying, "Your Majesty, it's late at night, I won't bother you any more."

"Okay! I'll see you off, my dear." Ye Xinglan hurriedly supported Liu Yuntian's right arm and walked towards the door, looking courteous and respectful.

Although Liu Yuntian was a little unhappy in his heart, he still pretended to be flattered and said, "Your Majesty, no, how can an emperor send his subjects out of the palace?"

"It's alright, it's alright, my dear, you are different from others and you are worthy of my farewell!"

In a blink of an eye, the two had walked out of the Zhongsheng Gate. This road was the shortest way out of the palace. If they took other gates, they would have to go around a big circle, which would be very time-consuming and physically demanding.

After getting Ye Xinglan's permission, Liu Yuntian has been following this path.

At this moment, both sides of the Zhongsheng Gate were already full of kneeling guards. Ye Xinglan stopped inside the gate and turned to Liu Yuntian, "Mr. Liu, take care. I will send you here."

Liu Yuntian frowned and returned the greeting, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will go back now."

Until Liu Yuntian walked away and looked back, Ye Xinglan was still standing at the door waving to see him off.

This made him feel very uncomfortable. Ye Xinglan always liked to act like an emperor in the past, but now that he had come out of seclusion, he seemed more and more humble, and this was compounded by the series of tricks he had used to win people's hearts.

Whether it was tying Qu Wenwu's shoes himself or driving his sister out of the palace for himself, it was a bit too deliberate...

"Mr. Liu, you are becoming more and more important in the eyes of His Majesty. Even His Majesty calls you Mr. Liu!"

"Bah!"

The jade pendant that Liu Yuntian was playing with fell to the ground. Qi Xing hurriedly lay on the ground to pick up the jade pendant, wiped it again and presented it to Liu Yuntian.

Liu Yuntian took the jade pendant with empty eyes and immediately fell into deep thought. Ye Xinglan called him "Mr. Liu" when there were outsiders, and "Aiqing" when there were no one around...

Is this an intentional attempt to improve his status and make things easier for himself? Or is there some other purpose?

After thinking about it, only two words emerged in Liu Yuntian's mind - flattery!

Praising oneself to death, buying people's hearts...

Our Emperor is thinking of rebelling!

Thinking of this, Liu Yuntian raised his lips unconsciously. Rebellion? This is good news...

If you really want to rebel, then I, Liu Yuntian, will have to put up with it. I hope you have enough brains to make this scene exciting enough!

……

Before he knew it, he had reached the gate of Liu's residence. He turned around and looked at Qi Xing and asked, "What are you doing?"

Qi Xing scratched his head and said, "I'll take you home. I'll be the one keeping watch for you today, hehe."

"What the hell! Didn't my mother say that you are not allowed to enter the Liu Mansion? Go home and sleep. Who dares to harm me?"

Liu Yuntian impatiently shouted Qi Xing away, then wandered at the door for a while, observed carefully, and after confirming that there was no one around, he turned around and ran out of the city.

Finally, he stopped at an abandoned house near the edge of a city gate. After sneaking in, he walked straight to the backyard and crawled in through a hole in a rockery.

This secret passage leads directly to the outside of the city, and he is the only one who knows this place. Even his 16 personal guards do not know about it.

He followed the secret passage all the way to a hillside. The whole mountain road was winding and the road surface was bumpy. It took Liu Yuntian a lot of effort to climb to the top of the mountain. He staggered to a big tree and lay directly on the ground, gasping for breath.

"You came."

A female voice as sweet as a bell came from the tree.
