Chapter 140 The end of the road, Pei Ji

The clown led the way, and Luo Cheng followed.

But it was obvious that the clown had no foundation in any martial arts. He walked lightly and even though he tried very hard, he couldn't move fast at all.

Luo Cheng was very puzzled. Why did Li Yuan, a high-ranking emperor, choose such a mute and incompetent servant to be his personal attendant?

Luo Cheng was anxious, so he picked up the clown and said, "Please show us the way, we need to hurry up."

Fortunately, apart from being mute, this little eunuch has normal ears and eyes. In fact, he can be said to have both ears and eyesight, which can make up for the defect of being mute.

At least it can make up for part of it.

He nodded gratefully to Luo Cheng, and under Luo Cheng's hostage, he gave instructions all the way and went straight to Pei Mansion.

In fact, Luo Cheng knew the location of Pei Mansion, but he didn't know the route from Li Yuan's residence to Pei Mansion.

Moreover, his purpose is to invite people. Although Pei Ji is the master of Pei Mansion, he is not necessarily in Pei Mansion, especially at this time.

It didn't take long before we arrived at the end of the field, which is the Pei Mansion that everyone knows.

Since the clown is here, it means that Pei Ji himself lives here, and there are no tricks like those cunning rabbits and three burrows that big shots often do.

Luo Cheng couldn't help but wonder. Isn't this Lord Pei Ji a typical sinister person as people think?

At this time, Luo Cheng put down the clown and asked him to knock on the door and ask for an audience.

The clown just knocked on the door once, and then he heard the door open with a roar, and a loud voice shouted: "Open the middle door and welcome the censor!"

At this time, the clown was dressed in the light clothes of a young eunuch, without any style at all.

In Luo Cheng's view, he is just a child. Although he is a little more mature, he is still a child.

Just now he was curled up in Luo Cheng's arms, which naturally showed the dependence of a child on adults.

And compared with his name, Joker, his appearance seems to match his name.

A child also wants to save face, so let’s not call him ugly. Anyway, he is far from good-looking.

At least in Luo Cheng's opinion, compared with his appearance at that age, well, it's incomparable. One is in the sky, and the other has to dig a hole on the ground.

However, at this time, the clown was shocked and glowed with momentum.

Since it is very consistent with his identity as censor!

Luo Cheng also instantly let go of his contempt.

Anyone who feels that he can survive around a traitor like Li Yuan, and is obviously quite proud of himself, is by no means a mediocre person.

Even though he is still a child, he is far from an adult.

The door opened, and Luo Cheng saw that the road leading from the door to the central hall was covered with red carpet.

The high-end red carpet, Prince Yan's Mansion where Luo grew up, didn't even have it,

I don't know if it has always been laid there, or if I knew that a censor came and laid it specifically for the clown.

At the other end of the red carpet, I saw a rich old man walking quickly, it was Pei Ji.

Of course, this man Luo Cheng is no stranger. In the past, when the father and son were not at loggerheads, Li Yuan's ministers could not hold a joint meeting with Tiance Mansion.

It is said that it is a joint alliance, but in fact it is the people of Tiance Mansion who are subsidizing themselves. How can they compete with Li Yuan's subordinates?

They are just part of the vassal, but they have always been separated from them.

Of course, Pei Ji and others never thought that the civil servants and generals of Tiance Mansion could be as obedient as kittens after being shocked by Li Yuan's tiger body.

They saw that Li Yuan and Li Yuan's subordinate kittens were about the same, with only three or five kittens.

Even if an old minister like Pei Ji met Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, he only gained superficial respect.

Pei Ji walked quickly, but the clown stopped walking and stopped moving forward.

The two were about five feet apart. Pei Ju threw himself to the ground, startling Luo Cheng.

I thought to myself, why don’t you know how to be more prudent at your age? You can’t walk steadily on such a flat road. Do you think you fell down?

But at this moment, Pei Ji's voice came to his ears.

"Pei Ji welcomes the imperial censor specially sent by the Holy Emperor. Seeing the censor is like seeing the emperor in person and being worshiped by the old minister!"

Luo Cheng couldn't help being surprised.

Is there such a thing as saying?

Are all imperial censors like this, or is it just this clown who has this special ability?

No matter what you say, this Pei Ji is still different from Li Yuan.

Who doesn't know that Li Yuan is already the late emperor, but he is still there bowing and kowtowing, obviously still treating him as the reigning emperor.

Looking at the clown again, he was indifferent, and I remained motionless.

After the procedures of those who knelt down and worshiped like dancing masters ended, Pei Ji still didn't get up and said a word.

"I will set off immediately to see His Majesty the Emperor. Are you staying here?"

The clown, who had been silent and did not say anything, shook his head.

It really only happened once, and Luo Cheng saw it clearly.

What does this mean?

Could it be that if the person inviting someone invites someone away, he can stay?

"Then the censor will go with me to see the emperor?"

The clown nodded.

Then he turned around and left.

Pei Ji was also happy and followed him immediately.

It was not until I was out of the gate and far away that I heard the gate slam shut.

Luo Cheng felt quite angry and quite confused.

I, Luo Cheng, am not a nobody. Why do you think I am nothing?

Besides, I didn't deliberately pretend. Aren't you at all surprised to see me come back from the dead?

Others may not have it, but you, Pei Ji, should have it, right? After all, you personally planned to kill me!

Also, your Pei Ji family has a great cause, so why is it that only Pei Ji comes out and no one else comes out?

Are they all dead? Or have they all seen that the limelight was not right and ran away?

Although Luo Cheng is smart, he is just a martial artist. He cannot see through intrigues at this level.

It wasn't until much later that he had an opportunity to meet his third brother and Xu Ji explained it to him, and he finally understood.

It was a crucial move for this clown to summon Pei Ji.

There is a far-reaching arrangement by two cunning politicians.

As long as the clown takes action, it's the last moment.

Li Yuan sent a clown to convey the imperial edict and told Pei Ji that he had two options.

One way is to make a living on your own, don't go see Li Yuan, and let Li Yuan fend for himself.

The other option is to meet Li Yuan and perish together.

In fact, both of them know that now that the matter has come to this, there is not much difference in the ultimate outcome, which is final destruction.

At that time, people didn’t even shed tears when they saw the coffin. How could anyone accept his fate without dying?

However, Pei Ji's choice once again confirmed Luo Cheng's understanding that Pei Ji is a politician who understands the overall situation.

Also, that clown has more choices. For every choice Pei Ji has, he has two choices.

However, in the end he chose to go back and share the same fate as Li Yuan.
