"I, Ding Guan, swear my loyalty to Your Majesty.”Naturally, the first was still the loyal and fearless Ding Guan. He walked fearlessly to the center of the hall and stared at Liu Bian with complete loyalty.
"I, Yuan Kui, swear my loyalty to Your Majesty!”
Yuan Kui, it was still Yuan Kui. Following Ding Guan's footsteps, he also walked out from the civil officials and walked to the center of the hall. He stood side by side with Ding Guan, his face upright and unyielding.
"Uncle."
Seeing Yuan Kui walk out, a young man in his twenties felt somewhat anxious. He gritted his teeth and walked out as well.
"I, Yuan Shao, swear my loyalty to Your Majesty!”The young man shouted and stood up unyieldingly like his uncle.
"Good, Shao 'er, you didn't disappoint uncle. As a subject, loyalty is the first.”Yuan Kui praised as he watched the young man walk out.
"Thank you for your praise, Uncle. Today, I will definitely advance and retreat with you and Your Majesty.”The young man chuckled, completely unconcerned about the impending crisis. This person was Yuan Kui's nephew, Yuan Shao.
"I, Wang Yun, have received the favor of the former emperor and the great kindness of the Han Dynasty. I am willing to swear my loyalty to Your Majesty.”
After a while, another upright old man came out from the civil officials.
"I, Cai Yong, swear my loyalty to Your Majesty."
"I, Cao Cao, swear my loyalty to Your Majesty.”
"I, Wu Fu, swear my loyalty to Your Majesty."
"I, Dong Cheng…I, Yang Biao…I swear my loyalty to Your Majesty…"
As Yuan Kui and his nephew walked out, another group of people walked out from the civil officials and generals. By the time all those loyal to Liu Bian walked out, only a dozen or so of the hundreds of officials remained in their original positions. Clearly, their fear of death had won over their loyalty. They were no longer loyal to Liu Bian.
"Alright, all of you are loyal to the Great Han Empire. With your help, I, Liu Bian, won't have to worry about these rebels surviving!”
Liu Bian swept his gaze across the loyal officials and laughed heartily, treating Dong Zhuo, who was standing not far away, as though he was air.
"You... You guys... Good, you guys are very good!"
Dong Zhuo could already feel that this deposed emperor that he had carefully prepared had escaped his control. At this moment, he could no longer suppress his killing intent.
"Men, kill this group of rebels!”
He shouted angrily.
Ta, ta, ta. Outside the hall, there was the sound of orderly and hurried footsteps. It seemed that countless heads were shaking. At least hundreds of Western Liang soldiers were rushing over.
Meanwhile, the Western Liang soldiers who had been standing guard in all directions drew their weapons and surrounded the ministers who were gathered together and loyal to Liu Bian.
"You useless Emperor, die for this Prime Minister.”
Dong Zhuo's cold eyes locked onto Liu Bian. His killing intent flickered. Suddenly, he pulled out the treasured saber from his waist. The saber hummed as it sliced through the air with the force of a hundred pounds. It slashed toward Liu Bian.
"Your Majesty, be careful. Quickly dodge."
"Everyone, follow this old man and protect His Majesty. Kill these rebels!”
When they saw this dangerous scene, His Highness, Yuan Kui, and the other ministers were extremely anxious. As they loudly reminded them, they swarmed towards the high platform.
"Dong Zhuo, do you really think that I am still the same as before?”
Liu Bian coldly looked at Dong Zhuo, who was rushing over with killing intent, and his lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Hmph!"
The internal energy that had been in his dantian for a long time suddenly surged to his entire body. His internal energy protected his body. Then, his large hand spread out and turned into a sharp claw that grabbed at Dong Zhuo's large knife.
"Is this useless emperor courting death? He actually wants to use his hand to receive my full-strength saber.”Dong Zhuo smiled cruelly, his strength not decreasing.
"It's over, it's all over. Our Han Dynasty is finished!”
When they saw Liu Bian reach out to receive the blade, Ding Guan, Yuan Kui, and the other loyal ministers all had ashen expressions. They were in despair and were on the verge of collapse.
"Die!" A Western Liang soldier was about to stab Yuan Kui with his spear, but he was already in a panic and had no intention of dodging.
"Uncle, be careful, you damned traitor.”Fortunately, Yuan Shao had been waiting at the side. With a swing of his sword, he beheaded the ferocious Western Liang soldier.
However, the symptoms were not the root of the problem. The scene of Liu Bian catching the blade empty-handed was seen by all the loyal officials. Almost all of them fell into despair. The moment they chose their side, they had already tied their lives to Liu Bian. Only if Liu Bian lived could they live. If Liu Bian died, they would also die.
"Milords, quickly cheer up. His Majesty hasn't lost. Quickly look at His Majesty's divine might."
