   Chapter 91 Only Jiang Ci knows

    Jiang Ci was deeply impressed by Pei Changyun's pollen allergy.

    Sometimes when Zhou Jiuya was away at war, the young Jiang Ci would be sent to live in the palace. He actually wondered why there were so few flowers in such a huge palace.Until he accidentally fell into Pei Changyun's arms with pollen all over his body.

    And caused the other party to almost go into shock on the spot.

    At that time, Jiang Ci was frightened by Pei Changyun's almost death appearance, and felt very, very guilty.

    Unlike Zhou Jiuya, who was upright and solemn, although Pei Changyun was an iron-blooded, majestic and cold emperor, he was quite gentle and patient with children.

    In addition, Jiang Ci is the child of Jiang Jinsheng and Bai Min.

    Jiang Jinsheng's title as the father of empire science and technology is not an idle name, it is real and real.It can almost be said that without Jiang Jinsheng, Pei Changyun would not have become the emperor.

    And Bai Min is the sister Huo Chao cares about most.So no matter from which aspect, Pei Changyun loves Jiang Ci very much.He allowed Jiang Ci not to be called by any honorific title such as Your Majesty, and not even called Uncle Pei, but Uncle Changyun.

    Jiang Ci could go to almost 90% of the palace, even the emperor's bedroom and study room.No matter what kind of trouble he got into, if Zhou Jiuya was too busy and couldn't come back in time, His Majesty the Emperor would directly deal with it with a wave of his hand.

    Therefore, when Pei Changyun was so allergic to pollen that he almost suffocated, the last thing he did was to grab Jiang Ci's hand and tell him,

    [Don't be afraid, don't be afraid Ah Ci, I'm fine...]

    Later, Dr. Wen also specially comforted little Ah Ci, who was frightened and blamed herself.

    [This is not your fault, Ah Ci.Your Majesty is allergic to pollen. We all know you didn't mean it, but it's a secret and we can't tell others.]

    Later Jiang Ci cried and apologized to Pei Changyun.

    ——This is what Jiang Jinsheng taught him.

    If you do something wrong or do something that hurts others, you must apologize seriously.

    His father's face was blurred in Jiang Ci's mind, but he remembered these words for a long time.

    A long time ago, Jiang Ci was pulled by Jiang Jinsheng like this, and she cried and apologized seriously to He Zhun, whom he had hurt.

    Therefore, Jiang Ci remembered Pei Changyun's pollen allergy very well and would never forget it in this life.Later, every time before he saw Pei Changyun, he would check whether he had been exposed to pollen.

    So at this moment, when he learned from Ye Shu that Pei Changyun had personally transported a large number of Zhimei flowers to the earth during the war, Jiang Ci was so shocked and unbelievable that he immediately turned to look at Pei Changyun,

    "Your Majesty, are you not..." allergic to pollen?

    But halfway through Jiang Ci's words, he suddenly remembered that this was Pei Changyun's secret, so he finally stopped him halfway.He didn't finish what he said, but someone finished it for him.

    Because the next second, he heard Huo Xianfeng directly expose the weaknesses and secrets that the emperor had concealed all this time.

    "Pei Changyun, aren't you allergic to pollen?"

    At that moment, everyone looked at Pei Changyun in surprise, and then seemed to realize something, and then turned to look at Huo Xianfeng.

    Even Ye Shu didn't know about such a secret thing. Why would Huo Xianfeng know about it?

    Even Pei Changyun himself showed a look of astonishment towards Huo Xianfeng, because he did not expect that Huo Xianfeng would know this secret.

    Because Pei Changyun is allergic to pollen, only people very close to him know about it.And whether he is the second-in-command of the Dawn Legion or the Emperor of the Empire, this kind of weakness cannot be widely publicized.

    The emperor was stunned. He looked at Huo Xianfeng and asked,

    "how do you know?"

    Before asking this question, he actually guessed that Huo Chao had told the other party, but Pei Changyun still wanted to ask.

    He just wanted to know more about Huo Chao.

    It's actually quite funny.

    Pei Changyun had been with Huo Chao for so many years and thought that he was the closest person to Huo Chao. At least before Huo Xianfeng appeared, he thought he was the closest and most trusted person to Huo Chao.

    But in the end, he still had to find out things about that person from other people's mouths.

    Everyone thought that the person Huo Chao trusted and relied on the most was his consul Pei Changyun.But after Huo Chao died, nothing was left for him.

    He left the remains of the Forbidden Abyss to Ye Shu and asked him to hide the eggs in the Asparagus Star.

    He left an order to Zhou Jiuya to take over and manage the Dawn Army.

    He left his last words to Jiang Jinsheng, asking him to dismantle the central program chain in the core of the Forbidden Abyss to avoid being taken away by the church.

    But today, it seems that all the arrangements and deployments above are for Huo Xianfeng and are paving the way for Huo Xianfeng.

    The hatched larvae are for Huo Xianfeng's Zerg army. The First Legion appears here to protect Huo Xianfeng, and the Forbidden Abyss is an apology to Huo Xianfeng.

    Oh yes, there is also a projected video.

    The content and purpose are to let everyone get along well with Huo Xianfeng.

    Pei Changyun can understand these

    Because he has seen the terror and danger of the Zerg, in a sense, Huo Chao is binding them to Huo Xianfeng, letting them sit in the same boat and deal with the Huan Shen Cult together.

    Huo Chao was for Huo Xianfeng, and in a deeper sense, for the survival of mankind.

    Pei Changyun knew everything, he understood it. He had been the consul of the Huo Dynasty for so many years and the emperor for so many years. It would be ridiculous if he couldn't even understand this.

    Everyone said that Pei Changyun replaced Huo Chao's position in a despicable and unscrupulous manner. A slightly better way of saying it was that he inherited Huo Chao's legacy.

    But in fact, it was Pei Changyun who was working hard to clean up the mess left by Huo Chao.

    It is also Pei Changyun who is fulfilling his dream.

    He wanted to build a beautiful new world with Huo Chao.

    But Huo Chao died for all mankind.

    Pei Changyun could understand, so there was no way to blame him, so he took that person's share and worked together.

    But he couldn't understand why Huo Chao didn't leave anything for him.

    His secrets, his plans, his wishes, his last hopes and nostalgia for this world... none of them.

    Even a word of farewell...

    Even a simple goodbye...

    But there was nothing.

    Why……

    Why??

    Pei Changyun didn't understand.

    He has always been smart and wise, and he could understand any layout and arrangements made by Huo Chao at a glance.Back in prison, when he was still a juvenile prisoner of sixteen or seventeen, he could hold countless alphas in his hands as a beta.After becoming the consul, no one in the entire legion dared to disobey his orders.

    Even after Huo Chao's death, Pei Changyun held up the troubled times and established a powerful empire.

    No matter what conspiracy, deployment, or plan, His Majesty the Emperor can peel it off and figure out what's inside quickly.

    Pei Changyun couldn't understand this matter alone. He couldn't understand it after thinking about it for three hundred years.

    Obviously before he knew about Huo Xianfeng's existence, he thought he was the person who knew and was closest to Huo Chao best.

    Even with Huo Xianfeng's presence, Pei Changyun thought he could be ranked second.

    But in the end, he became the person who least understood Huo Chao.

    He also became the only person in Huo Chao who was excluded from all plans.

    Pei Changyun tightened his knuckles slightly and stared at Huo Xianfeng quietly, wanting an answer.

    At this time, everyone at the table was looking at Huo Xianfeng, and they were also waiting for an answer.However, the latter glanced at Jiang Ci and noticed the other person's confused gaze.

    So, Huo Xianfeng was silent for a few seconds and then explained,

    "Because when Huo Chao asked me what I wanted to give you, I said flowers, but unexpectedly, I sent you directly to the hospital. Later, the guy talked to me about this matter for a long time."

    In fact, he also has some responsibility for this matter.

    Because at that time, Huo Chao's love book asked him to give gifts to Pei Changyun.

    Huo Chaolai asked Huo Xianfeng what he had given him. The latter didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but Huo Chaolai sighed every day and kept pestering him.So I just casually said to send flowers.

    ——Zerg like flowers.

    However, for the so-called casual thoughts, Huo Chao certainly did not blame Huo Xiangfeng, but blamed himself for not investigating clearly in advance.

    So when he excitedly threw a large bouquet of flowers into Pei Changyun's face, the latter almost choked on the spot and went into shock within a few minutes.

    But Pei Changyun was still in prison at that time, so Huo Chao drove into the forbidden abyss and robbed the prison in full view before sending him to the hospital.

    If he hadn't been sent to the hospital in time, he might have died.

    ——But Huo Chao's incident of driving the Forbidden Abyss to rob the prison caused a big fuss in the alliance.

    Because Pei Changyun's father is a notorious political criminal in the alliance, and Huo Chao's identity is His Highness the Son of God of the Huan Shen Cult.So in the end, that was the only time Huo Chao took the initiative to use the power of the Huan Shen Cult to settle it.

    Whether it was the harm caused to Pei Changyun or the fact that Huo Chao had to turn to the person he hated most for help, it made him feel extremely sad and depressed.

    "..."

    At this moment, Ye Shu was completely stunned.

    Because he didn't know that Pei Changyun was allergic to pollen.

    Although they were both Huo Chao's confidants, Ye Shu and Pei Changyun had never dealt with them since they first met.

    Because Pei Changyun felt that Ye Shu's qualifications were not enough to support him to become one of Huo Chao's confidants. Although he was an A-level alpha, Ye Shu had never been to a military academy. His strength was not as good as Zhou Jiuya's, his skills were not as good as Jiang Jinsheng's, and his mind was not as good as that of Zhou Jiuya's.Not as good as Pei Changyun.

    All in all, nothing particularly outstanding.But this guy had to follow Huo Chao shamelessly.

    Therefore, Pei Changyun looked at Ye Shu more and more displeased.Of course, Ye Shu also disliked Pei Changyun, because at that time, the consulship was just a false post in the army and had no power, but Huo Chao was obsessed and listened to Pei Changyun in everything.

    Moreover, every time Pei Changyun looked at him with disgusting and belittling eyes, it also made Ye Shu unhappy.

    However, under Ye Shu's insistence, he finally fell into Huo Chao's eyes, but he did not become Huo Chao's personal guard like Zhou Jiuya did, but was sent to a local place to gain experience as a commander. This is Pei ChangyunYe Shu felt that the other party was deliberately sending him away.

    Later, when Huo Chao became the marshal, and the Seventh Army of the Alliance where they were at that time was integrated into the Dawn Army, Ye Shu also accumulated enough military merits, and then returned to Huo Chao.Therefore, Ye Shu didn't know that Pei Changyun was allergic to pollen.

    In fact, the conflict between the two is just that they don't like each other. When something happens, they still agree to talk to the outside world. In fact, Ye Shu is a bit afraid of Pei Changyun, because the other party is much better than Huo Chao in managing subordinates..

    It was only after Huo Chao died that Ye Shu thought that Pei Changyun was using Huo Chao to commit suicide, so the two completely broke up.But if Pei Changyun is allergic to pollen, then there will definitely be a problem with transporting a large number of rose flowers.

    Ye Shu immediately turned to look at Zhou Jiuya, his eyes almost sharp and questioning like blades.

    Zhou Jiuya was silent, and immediately avoided Ye Shu's eyes in embarrassment and guilt.

    ——Sure enough, this guy knows!

    This guy knew that Pei Changyun was allergic to pollen, but he didn't tell him!!!

    Therefore, Ye Lu suddenly realized that the fact that he had hated Pei Changyun for three hundred years was probably a scam from the beginning, or even a joke in their eyes!!!

    No wonder, no wonder Pei Changyun could tolerate him taking away Forbidden Abyss, and even ignored it for three hundred years, seemingly unconcerned.It wasn't until Huo Xianfeng woke up from the earth and the church started fighting for it that he took action.

    It was all premeditated.

    Only Ye Shu was kept in the dark, only him!!!

    "What...what do you mean, Pei Changyun?"

    Ye Shu's voice trembled, and he clenched his fists tightly, and the mechanical fingers made a crackling sound due to the excessive force.

    "What on earth...are you doing with so many rose flowers?"

    "What on earth did you lie to me about? Didn't you say that your plan was to use Rose Flowers to attract the Zerg, then close the Skynet and let Huo Chao... detonate the nuclear bomb, and finally end it once and for all?!!"

    Pei Changyun lowered his eyes and put his hand on his abdomen unconsciously, as if he felt a little uncomfortable.But he did not deny what Ye Shu said, and even admitted frankly,

    "This is indeed the plan, and it was implemented this way in the end. It's just...it was just that someone told me that rose flowers can attract Zerg."

    Speaking of this, the emperor glanced at Huo Xianfeng and said,

    "When the Zerg invaded... came to save you, we couldn't stop them."

    Pei Changyun's tone was very calm, completely preventing others from seeing that he was digging out his bloody wounds again inch by inch and exposing them to everyone.

    "I thought Rose Flowers could really attract the Zerg and use this to buy time to transfer humans and use nuclear bombs..."

    He didn't finish what he said next.

    Because this is official history, something everyone knows.

    In that unprecedented disaster, Marshal Huo Chao detonated a million nuclear bombs and died together with the invaders Zerg, and was hailed as the savior.

    Pei Changyun lowered his eyes and smiled slightly.

    "It's just that now it seems that although the intelligence was wrong, due to a combination of circumstances, the plan was still implemented smoothly."

    Regardless of whether the Zerg were attracted to the earth by the Rose Flower or summoned away by the hateful and angry King Insect, the Zerg invaded the earth, and humans were unable to stop it.

    So the final outcome has not changed.

    Huo Chao was still in the nuclear explosion that destroyed the world and was drowned in the long wind.

    "..."

    As for the other, most important part, Pei Changyun didn't say anything.

    He didn't say that Huo Chao had deceived him.

    He didn't say that Huo Chao lied to him and said that rose flowers could attract Zerg.

    The man lied to him and said that as long as there were a lot of roses, everything could be saved.

    Pei Changyun closed his eyes and subconsciously tightened the clothes on his abdomen. There was no expression on his face, but Jiang Ci could feel the extreme pain that the other party was enduring.

    ——Omega are naturally very sensitive to emotions.

    This is also the reason why Jiang Ci was the only one who noticed something strange when everyone was watching Pei Changyun.

    "Uncle Changyun, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

    This sentence made His Majesty the Emperor suddenly wake up. He immediately took his hand away and denied it almost quickly and eagerly.

    "No!"

    It is extremely rare for such a violent reaction to appear on Pei Changyun.Because he always looks extremely calm, no matter what time he is.

    Even when Huo Chao died, Pei Changyun never shed a tear. He quickly took over all Huo Chao's things and immediately devoted himself to his work.

    ——This is also the reason why Ye Shu hates him.

    Because Pei Changyun seemed very... indifferent to Huo Chao's death.

    At this moment, another person suddenly appeared in the projection next to Pei Changyun.

    Jiang Ci recognized it, it was Zhao He, the secretary-general beside the emperor.

    However, the other party's face looked very solemn and anxious.

    "His Majesty"

    He noticed that Pei Changyun was turning on the remote projection video, so he quickly stopped what he was about to say.

    The emperor knew from the look on his face that it must be a very urgent and confidential matter, but it didn't matter, because firstly, the people opposite the projected video were trustworthy, and secondly, he needed to use other things to divert the topic..

    So Pei Changyun waved his hand and motioned for him to say directly,

    "It's okay, what's the matter?"

    "……yes."

    Zhao He's expression was very ugly.

    "Former Alliance Speaker Cetrin has just issued an "Announcement to the People" and a statement of condemnation against you."

    "oh?"

    These words quickly brought Pei Changyun back from the strangeness just now, and even when he heard the name Cetrin, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

    The alliance had completely collapsed two hundred years ago, and the remnants left behind were beaten by the empire and fled in all directions. Although they had always caused some minor troubles in recent decades, in Pei Changyun's view, they were all nothing painful.Itchy little thing.

    "What did the old guy say?"

    Zhao He took a deep breath before speaking with difficulty,

    "He announced your gender and your father's affairs to the public."

    The military, senior officials and nobles of the empire were instantly detonated by the news.

    No one thought that Pei Changyun would be a beta.

    In this ABO country, gender discrimination is quite obvious. It was almost to the point of acuteness during the previous alliance. After the establishment of the empire, under Pei Changyun's intentional political reforms, it was slightly better, but it still existed.

    In everyone's eyes, betas are representatives of mediocrity. They generally work at the lower and middle levels of society and spend their lives doing nothing, being mediocre and inconspicuous.No beta can bring countless powerful alphas into its hands.

    Therefore, no one would have thought that Pei Changyun, the emperor who single-handedly established the empire, would be a beta.

    After all, Jiang Jinsheng doesn't know how to operate a mecha. He looks weak, but he is undoubtedly an alpha. Although Pei Changyun is thin, there is no doubt about his ability. When the alliance was still there and Pei Changyun was still the consul, heHe has all the alpha officers under him in charge, and no one dares to disobey them.

    After Huo Chao died, Pei Changyun quickly moved the survivors on the earth, rebuilt human civilization on a desolate new planet with nothing, and then quickly suppressed the rebellion with iron-blooded tactics, integrated the army, and even overthrew the alliance.

    To a certain extent, his achievements in human history can almost be said to be on par with Huo Chao, and even far surpassed Huo Chao in a political sense.

    Therefore, everyone feels that Pei Changyun is an alpha, and a very top alpha.

    How could it be beta?

    How can it be?!!

    Not only that, there are stains on his resume that are difficult to erase.

    Pei Changyun's father turned out to be a notorious political and political criminal in the alliance. When he was young, he was even imprisoned because of his father. Later, Huo Chao fished him out and erased this from the files.stain.

    "...Oh, that's it."

    But when His Majesty the Emperor heard the news, he was not as nervous or furious as Zhao He imagined, but instead spoke in a relaxed tone.

    Although Pei Changyun's gender secret was indeed a point that could be used to attack him and shake the emperor's authority, he expected that one day this matter would become his leverage, so he was fully prepared. Although it was tricky, it was not a big deal..

    But obviously Zhao He's expression made him think that this matter would not be that simple, so Pei Changyun lightly tapped the table and asked,

    "What else are you saying about me?"

    "He also posted two videos."

    Zhao He took out the original video in Guang's mind and showed it to him.

    "One is a video of a large number of roses inside your mecha, and the other is a video of the First Legion and the Zerg invading Mingcheng on the Holy Dew Planet."

    At this moment, the former Alliance Speaker was angrily accusing the emperor in a video,

    "He is a sinner of mankind!"

    "Three hundred years ago, it was he who used rose flowers to attract the Zerg!!!"

    "Pei Changyun has colluded with the Zerg a long time ago. He was the one who killed Marshal Huo Chao!!!"

    "..."

    This speech seems to have been prepared for a long time, and the content and level of the speech are very high.Just a few words can instantly mobilize people's emotions.

    The old man in the picture is gray-haired, heartbroken, and weeping blood every word. Every word denounces Pei Changyun's wolfish ambition and dictatorial rule.

    From the perspective of uninformed people, the other party does indeed look like a compassionate savior trying his best to turn the tide when humanity is in danger.

    Zhao He's expression was very solemn,

    "We have completely blocked the Star Network and tried our best to curb the spread of the video, but..."

    But in today's interstellar age, it is completely impossible to completely curb the spread of information.And besides the star network officially built by the empire, there are also many dark networks.

    Moreover, the evidence presented by the other party was all stone hammer.

    Not to mention Zhi Meihua in Pei Changyun's mecha, the most important thing is the scene of the First Legion and the Zerg invading Mingcheng together.

    This is simply a blow to death, and it is simply something that cannot be argued with.

    After all, in the eyes of humans now, the Zerg are monsters, invaders, the culprits who destroyed the earth, and the real culprits who killed Marshal Huo Chao.

    For a time, the crowd was excited.

    Pei Changyun was directly pushed to the forefront by public opinion.

    The Alliance Speaker earnestly persuaded and preached impassionedly. He asked the people to unite, overthrow Pei Changyun's dictatorship, join hands to fight against the Zerg, and surround the last hope for human survival.

    "..."

    Because Pei Changyun did not turn off the projection just now, everyone in the conference room saw it at this moment.

    "It's really..."

    Huo Xianfeng sneered.

    "What a great move to draw out the firepower——"

    Pei Changyun's gender secret and the stain on his resume were just the beginning of the other party's efforts to make the public shake and become disillusioned with his authoritative image. Colluding with the Zerg and killing Marshal Huo Chao was the real murder weapon against His Majesty the Emperor!

    He asked why Mingcheng had been occupied for ten hours, but there was no movement from the Huan Shen Cult. It turned out that they were waiting here.

    Because if the two sides confront each other head-on, it’s hard to say who will win or lose in the end.

    After all, Huo Xianfeng had obtained the Forbidden Abyss, and his own strength and power were almost unstoppable.Coupled with the First Legion, the church's winning rate is not high.

    Moreover, Huo Chao used millions of nuclear bombs to barely stop the Zerg. Now Saint Dew Star cannot withstand another attack. After all, the church does not have the alliance as a backup backer and support. They do not have the ability to build another base camp like Saint Dew Star..

    Therefore, the Huan Shen Cult brought out the former Alliance Speaker and pointed the attack directly at Pei Changyun.

    At this time, Pei Changyun's largest protective umbrella, the First Army Corps, was trapped in Mingcheng, and another political change occurred that was close to a magnitude 10 earthquake.

    If Pei Changyun wants to stabilize the status and authority of the emperor and prove that he is not a sinner of mankind, then his best and only way to deal with it now is to quickly sever ties with the Zerg.

    The best way to distance yourself from a relationship is to attack.

    If Huo Xianfeng's guess is correct, Pei Changyun should receive contact from the church soon.

    Because now is the time when the Zerg are at their weakest, if Pei Changyun and the church join forces, it is not impossible to completely kill the Zerg.

    ——Actually, this trick is really awesome.

    Absolutely amazing!

    Almost a direct hit!

    Even Huo Xianfeng didn't think of it.

    He raised his eyes and stared at the silent Pei Changyun, with a pityful smile on his lips.

    However, they missed one point, the most important point.

    That is, Pei Changyun did not rise to power by stepping on Huo Chao as the world thought.But this human emperor had always loved Huo Chao deeply, so he tried his best to prop up the troubled times after that man's death.

    Therefore, this approach, slandering him for killing his most beloved person, will not only fail to draw Pei Changyun into the church camp, but will also make him turn against the Zerg.

    Instead, it will arouse His Majesty the Emperor's most extreme anger and...

    ——The craziest revenge.

    Pei Changyun covered his forehead with one hand, and the shadow from his palm covered his eyebrows.

    "Say I set him up...I lied to him..."

    "Say I-"

    "...Kill him."

    His Majesty the Emperor gave a sarcastic sneer.

    Pei Changyun could tolerate Ye Shu's hatred because he was cooperating with Huo Chao on purpose, deliberately turning against the other party, because this way he could keep Ye Shu hiding in Tiandong Star.

    Pei Changyun can also endure others calling him ambitious, dictatorial and cold-blooded, and even looking at him with a slut-humiliating look. When he was a beta, he stayed in a prison full of alphas.

    You don’t even have to be the emperor!

    However, he was charged with killing Huo Chao.

    no!

    At this moment, the cold emperor stood up solemnly.

    "That's it for today, I'll go take care of it."

    Zhou Jiuya also stood up and said eagerly,

    "Your Majesty, how about I return immediately..."

    Pei Changyun waved his hand, his voice was cold,

    "No need, you stay there and wait for orders!"

    "..."

    Zhou Jiuya was speechless, opened his mouth, and finally said "yes".

    Huo Xianfeng watched everything that happened in front of him with interest. He finally knew why Pei Changyun could become the emperor, because whether the other party had the bloody aura and killing intent when he stood up, or the iron-blooded attitude when he rejected Zhou Jiuyaand decisive momentum are both things that only a king possesses.

    Regardless of gender or pheromones.

    That is the authority honed from hundreds of years of political games and countless bloody battles. It is also an important reason why Pei Changyun, as a beta, can suppress S-level alpha Zhou Jiuya.

    The king of the Zerg race, inherited through genes.

    As for the king of mankind, he was finally selected through countless battles, countless situations and power games.

    There is no doubt that the king of the Zerg race is the most powerful among the entire race in terms of force, wisdom, mind, vision... in short, everything.

    But the king of mankind is not, like Pei Changyun, who is not very good at operating mechas and has weak force value, but his mind and political skills are very good, and he can support the reproduction and prosperity of an empire and a race.

    This is the other biggest difference between their two races.

    Huo Xianfeng is gradually changing his view of the human race. Although it is weak, unexpectedly, there will always be some very outstanding individuals.

    Buzz——

    Pei Changyun's projection disappeared.

    However, after actually exchanging so much information, Huo Xianfeng was still a little confused.So he looked at Zhou Jiuya, because besides Pei Changyun, the other person was another person who had personally experienced the battle.

    "What do you know about Pei Changyun's transportation of Zhi Meihua?"

    "..."

    Zhou Jiuya was actually very surprised by this question. His tone was serious and a bit sharp.

    "Do you suspect His Majesty is lying...?"

    "No, on the contrary I believe every word he says."

    Huo Xianfeng held the side of his face with one hand and tapped the table at one time or another.

    Of course he confirmed that the other party was not lying. Pei Changyun had really always thought that rose flowers could attract the Zerg and make them crazy and lose their mind.Otherwise, it would be impossible for the rose flower to become a forbidden object of the empire, and it would be feared by the world for so many years for attracting the culprits of the Zerg.

    "Just because you don't lie doesn't mean you have nothing to hide."

    "For example, someone in Pei Changyun's mouth told him, who is that person? Who can make Pei Changyun believe that such an outrageous thing is true, and still believe it for so many years, and even write the ban on Zhi Meihua into the imperial law."

    "And why, as the consul of the Dawn Legion at the time, Pei Changyun could obviously send a lot of people there. But Pei Changyun, who was allergic to pollen, chose to drive a mecha to transport a large number of rose flowers at the most critical moment..”

    "..."

    Zhou Jiuya and Ye Shu were both silent.

    Because they can all guess who that person is.

    If there is one person who can make Pei Changyun believe in his words for so many years, it is Huo Chao.

    Why?

    "Tsk..."

    Huo Xianfeng actually couldn't figure it out.

    "Why did that guy Huo Chao do such an outrageous scam?"

    Because no matter what Huo Xianfeng thought, this step was very useless.He frowned,

    "Whether this move was made by Huo Chao, was intentional by Pei Changyun, or even was caused by the Huan Shen Cult, it makes no sense."

    He knew that rose flowers were indeed very popular among the Zerg because of their gorgeous appearance, sweet smell, and their ability to subtly stimulate the Zerg to secrete nerve fluid, but the promotion effect was very small, just like drinking tea for humans to refresh themselves.Effect.

    But it is useless to use tea to wake up a severely comatose person.

    All in all, the Rose Flowers that Huo Chao asked Pei Changyun to transport had no effect at attracting or stopping the Zerg, let alone the ability to save the Fallen King Insect.

    Pei Changyun was obviously the one who was deceived.

    As for the church, they worked hard to cultivate a Huo Chao. Even after Huo Chao died, they continued to search for him for so many years.Therefore, it is even more impossible to deliberately let Huo Chao die.

    So, why did Huo Chao tell Pei Changyun that rose flowers can attract Zerg?

    Huo Xianfeng frowned, feeling very confused.

    "Such senseless lies should not be done by a smart person."

    "——It's not meaningless!"

    Jiang Ci, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted Huo Xianfeng. He raised his head and repeated to the young man seriously,

    "It's not meaningless."

    At this moment, everyone's expressions were stunned, and all their attention turned to Jiang Ci.

    In fact, Ye Shu, Zhou Jiuya, and Pei Changyun have always regarded Jiang Ci as their children.If it weren't for his relationship with Huo Xianfeng, he wouldn't even be allowed to participate.

    Because in their perception, Jiang Ci should be protected.

    Not just because Jiang Ci is an omega.

    It was also for the dead Jiang Jinsheng and Bai Min.

    This child is their last hope.

    Therefore, no matter what kind of conflicts Ye Shu and Pei Changyun have, and no matter how angry Zhou Jiuya is by Jiang Ci, all of them want to do everything possible to protect him.

    But no one listens to a child.

    So when Jiang Ci spoke, Zhou Jiuya's first reaction was to frown and show disapproval.

    "Jiang Ci——!"

    Regarding the matter between Marshal Huo Chao and His Majesty the Emperor, he believed that Jiang Ci, as a junior, should not interrupt more.Even Zhou Jiuya himself shouldn't judge it.

    But Huo Xianfeng never regarded Jiang Ci as a child, nor even as a weakling.He recognized Jiang Ci's strength and would let Jiang Ci participate in all his plans and entrust him with important responsibilities.

    So at this moment, when Jiang Ci opened his mouth to refute him, Huo Xianfeng didn't feel offended. Instead, he was very interested.

    "Well, what should I say?"

    Jiang Ci pursed his lips, and his eyes quickly passed over his uncle's stern face, but then fell on Huo Xianfeng's eyes that were looking at him quietly and seriously.

    The other party expressed his intention to listen, which made Jiang Ci's heart soften.

    "My dad...three days before my father passed away, he told me that if I could get along well with He Zhun and become friends with him, he would teach me to crack a code game that I couldn't crack for a long, long time..”

    "But at that time, I hated He Zhun very, very much, and there was no way I could become friends with him."

    This answer actually didn't sound related to Pei Changyun and Zhi Meihua, but Huo Xianfeng still listened patiently.

    "In the end, I didn't become friends with He Zhun... but locked myself in the room to solve the code game over and over again."

    Jiang Ci closed his eyes,

    "So, this also means that when I finally untie it... it will be his funeral."

    "..."

    Zhou Jiuya was stunned.

    In fact, when Jiang Jinsheng just passed away, many people suspected that Jiang Ci had an emotional disorder because he did not cry for his father's death and was so calm that it was as if nothing had happened.

    Because even He Zhun cried so sadly.But as Jiang Jinsheng's biological child, Jiang Ci behaved indifferently, even to the point of being cold-blooded.

    But in fact, Jiang Ci didn't understand or realize that his father was dead. He was still waiting for his father's praise because he solved the code game by himself.

    It was not until many, many years later that when Jiang Ci recalled this incident, he slowly realized that the reason why Jiang Jinsheng said that to him was not because he really wanted him and He Zhun to become friends immediately.

    Jiang Jinsheng knew Jiang Ci very well, and he knew that this matter was too difficult for Jiang Ci and would never happen.

    Therefore, the child will definitely be stubborn enough to decipher it on his own, and he will definitely lock himself up and hide it.

    In this case, Jiang Ci would not be able to see the process of Jiang Jinsheng's death.

    He would not see his father die.

    Huo Xianfeng finally understood what Jiang Ci wanted to say, because Huo Chao was the same way.

    Huo Chao gave Pei Changyun hope and told him that as long as there was Zhi Meihua, everything could be saved.

    But Huo Chao knew that Pei Changyun was allergic to pollen, and he knew that Pei Changyun would never send Zhimei flowers. If he wanted to send them, he would have to send someone else.

    Therefore, this lie was just to protect him.

    ——Don't let him see the scene of his death.

    It's just that Huo Chao didn't expect that Pei Changyun, who was allergic to pollen, would really drive a mecha, abandon all important work, and rush towards him with a cabin full of rose flowers regardless.

    Huo Chao left something for Pei Changyun.

    What is left is a lie, a scam, and a hope.

    A false hope that Pei Changyun could save Huo Chao.

    And only Jiang Ci saw the secret behind this lie.

    Because only Jiang Ci had experienced it and felt it, he could see it at a glance.

    If Pei Changyun hadn't gone that day...

    He will be just like the young Jiang Ci.

    So when the whole world witnessed Marshal Huo Chao's heroic sacrifice,

    Only Pei Changyun wouldn't...

    Only he wouldn't watch that person die.
