"Slander?" Mi Heng sneered when he heard Liu Bei's words. He knew that today he was here for the emperor to tear off the masks of the princes. For Mi Heng, the best starting point was Liu Bei.

There is no way, who knows him best with Liu Bei? Therefore, if you want to expose the ambitions of the princes, Mi Heng can only start with Liu Bei.

Moreover, the shady information he possesses about Liu Bei is not a shred of information.

Only two days ago, he learned from Liu Xie that he needed to confront the princes head-on at the martial arts competition, so he carefully prepared a piece of black information about the princes.

In his words, it means being prepared.

So, now that he heard Liu Bei calling him slanderous, he immediately wanted to laugh.

"Since you said that I slandered you, please ask Liu Shijun to answer my questions." Mi Heng looked at Liu Bei and said slowly.

"Then tell me, why can you use the land of one county in Pingyuan to recruit more than ten thousand soldiers? Why is Pingyuan so close to Qingzhou and the Yellow Turbans are raging in Qingzhou, but there is not a single Yellow Turban army in the plain where you are?"

"I have said before that the recruitment of more than ten thousand soldiers in the plains was funded by the local powerful."

"As for the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou that did not reach our plain, that is because a certain defender of the land was well-organized and managed the plain like an iron barrel. Naturally, the Yellow Turban thieves did not dare to come to our plain to wreak havoc!" Even at this time, Liu Bei still said

Don’t forget to put gold on your face.

"Really? But why did I hear that Liu Shijun used money and food in exchange for the Yellow Turban Army not to develop in the plains?" Mi Heng looked at Liu Bei and said directly, and then without giving Liu Bei any chance to defend, he turned around and faced

Liu Xie said.

"Your Majesty, the common people have heard that your Majesty once discovered a talent during the first round of the martial arts competition. This person is Guan Hai, the former commander of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. I wonder if your Majesty can let Guan Hai step forward and let him confront Liu Shijun.

?”

Liu Xie told Ni Heng privately that Guan Hai was recruited by him, so that Mi Heng could accomplish his goal.

Liu Bei on the side suddenly felt his heart skip a beat when he heard Mi Heng mentioning Guan Hai.

He knew very well that his previous transactions with Guan Hai were all done by his cronies. And just in case, he got rid of the cronies after contacting Guan Hai.

But he also understood that as long as Guan Hai was alive, the transaction between him and Guan Hai might be exposed.

Therefore, after receiving the invitation from Beihai Prime Minister Kong Rong, he led his army and entered Qingzhou without hesitation.

Moreover, on the way, he asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to pay special attention to Guan Hai's whereabouts, hoping to kill Guan Hai. But unfortunately, Guan Hai was not stupid either. He saw Liu Bei and others leading the army.

As soon as he came, he felt something was wrong and ran away immediately.

Later, after the Battle of Qingzhou, Liu Bei also specifically asked Guan Yu and others to search for Guan Hai within Qingzhou, who wanted to see his people alive and his body dead.

Because he knew very well that as long as Guan Hai was alive, he would be exposed one day.

As for why Liu Bei had to die for Guan Hai? It's very simple. Although he didn't say who he was, one of the deals between him and Guan Hai was that the Yellow Turban Army under Guan Hai could not enter the plains.

This alone is enough for people to guess his identity, so for Liu Bei, Guan Hai must die, and he won't be able to sleep until he dies.

"Yes!" Liu Xie didn't give Liu Bei any time to react. He directly agreed to Mi Heng's request.

"Your Majesty! I think it's inappropriate!" At this time, Liu Bei immediately stood up and objected. He felt that Guan Hai could not be allowed to appear in front of the public, otherwise, his reputation would be ruined.

"Oh? Uncle Emperor, what do you think is wrong?" Liu Xie looked at Liu Bei with interest. He liked to see Liu Bei looking very anxious but helpless.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Guan Hai is a remnant of the Yellow Turbans, and he should be killed directly. Otherwise, the Yellow Turbans will inevitably reappear in all parts of the Han Dynasty." Liu Bei said anxiously.

"Uncle Emperor, there is something wrong with what you said. Uncle Emperor should know how the Yellow Turban Army appeared. I won't say anything more here."

"When I issued the edict for the civil and military competition before, I once said that as long as you come to participate in the civil and military competition, no matter your background, even if you are a rebel, you can get a white body."

"The imperial court does not investigate past mistakes and only judges people based on their talents and learning. Now Guan Hai stands out in the martial arts competition. Does the emperor want me to break my promise?" Liu Xieyang looked at Liu Bei angrily.

As for Liu Bei, after hearing Liu Xie's words, he immediately didn't know how to proceed.

After all, what Liu Xie said was very reasonable. When he announced the holding of the civil and military competition, he said that no matter whether the other party is a sinner or not, as long as he comes to participate in this conference, as long as he is not a heinous person, he will be exempted from guilt.

In particular, Liu Xie pointed out very presciently that even if the opponent is the Yellow Turban Army, it is still possible.

This matter has been known to the whole world. At this time, if Liu Bei said it was inappropriate, then it was really inappropriate. To make the emperor break his promise? Is it an excuse for the emperor not to kill you?

When Liu Bei heard Liu Xie's words, he did not dare to say anything.

After all, what I said before was to find fault with Liu Xie and bring him down, not to give Liu Xie an excuse to deal with himself. What's more, this matter involves the Yellow Turban Army, and other princes will not because of this matter.

Things are on your side.

However, after Liu Bei retreated, he glanced at Guan Yu next to him and signaled him to kill Guan Hai as soon as he had the chance while no one was paying attention.

Feeling Liu Bei's gaze, Guan Yu also nodded quietly.

As Liu Bei's confidant, he knew many more secrets about Liu Bei than the impulsive Zhang Fei. He was connected with the Yellow Turban Army, and Guan Yu knew a rough idea.

After Guan Yu felt what Liu Bei meant, he nodded secretly to show that he understood.

At the same time, Guan Yu also tightened his grip on the Yanyue Sword in his hand. He needed to kill Guan Hai with one strike.

This is, Ji Huai and Guan Hai slowly walked to the front of the person.

"Your Majesty, Commander Guan is here." Ji Huai said to Liu Xie.

"The humble minister Guan Hai has met your Majesty!" Guan Hai came to the front of Liu Xie, turned his back to Liu Bei and others, and saluted Liu Xie.

Just when Liu Xie was about to say something, Guan Yu suddenly moved.

He jumped up high and struck Guan Hai's head with the Yanyue Sword in his hand.

Liu Xie noticed when Guan Yu just took action, and he was preparing to intercept Guan Yu.

However, if Liu Xie intercepts Guan Yu at this time, he will expose his martial arts skills.

But at this time, Liu Xie didn't care so much anymore. After all, Guan Hai was a rare and powerful general. If he was allowed to die in Guan Yu's hands like this.

Not only was this a pity, but he also had no witnesses to identify Liu Bei.
