Immortality from plundering luck

Chapter 96

The old man glanced at Luo Ying'er. Even though the latter's face was covered with a white veil, he was able to rely on his unique experience and keen eyes to see her outstanding face underneath the veil.

"Hehehe," the old man smiled as he looked at Luo Ying'er's slender and beautiful figure hidden under her light yellow dress, and said with a smile, "You are so unreasonable, girl. We are talking about our own things, not you. You eavesdrop on other people's conversations for no reason, and you think you are right?"

Luo Ying'er was choked for a moment and said angrily: "You dare to be disrespectful to the Emperor of Dayong by speaking such arrogant words. Aren't you afraid of losing your head?"

"Losing your head?" The old man sneered and said disdainfully, "The emperor's life is at stake. His will may work in Yongjing, but it will be useless outside of Yongjing, let alone in Qingxu."

As he spoke, the old man smiled and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. In Taining County, do you think it's the emperor who has the final say, or the Flame Demon Gang?"

"Little girl, don't be fooled by the fact that there are government offices everywhere. In fact, they are only in name only and are superficial. No powerful warrior is willing to be a lackey of the court," the old man continued, "which is why the Flame Demon Gang destroyed the Liu family and conquered the seven counties of Taining County, but no government dared to send troops."

"This is the evidence. Isn't it enough to prove something? Everything is laid bare before our eyes."

"The current government is nothing more than a fig leaf?"

"If a mortal warrior wants to choose a force to join, then the first thing he should consider is joining the most powerful force in the area, followed by the major families, and finally the government."

The old man stroked his beard and said with a faint smile.

"Only those useless warriors who no one is willing to take in, that is, the street urchins you think of, will choose to join the government and become a soldier. Little girl, do you understand?"

Luo Ying'er was furious, she gritted her teeth in hatred and her chest heaved with anger, but she just couldn't find any words to refute.

Her dress and temperament show that she is of noble birth.

In Luo Ying'er's opinion, this old man was just a low-level figure in the martial arts world. At the age of sixty or seventy, he was just a mortal warrior. However, he was lying like this. She was born into a noble family and had a proud temper. How could she bear this humiliation?

With a "swish", he drew his sword, pointed the tip of the sword straight at the old man, and said viciously: "You fellow, you actually despise the court so much, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the court."

However, even though he was holding a long sword in his hand, he did not have the temperament of a warrior at all. He looked so delicate, not like someone who was about to draw a sword to kill someone. Instead, he looked more like a child playing house with a toy sword.

The old man did not get angry but laughed, with a sly smile on his face, and said: "Little girl, your sword is quite good, but the person who uses the sword is not very good."

"Look at your delicate appearance, how can you use a sword? You should use the flute."

"You!" Luo Ying'er gritted her teeth and was about to rush out, but at this moment, the man next to her grabbed her.

Luo Ying'er looked back, only to see the man holding her hand tightly and saying gently, "That's enough, Ying'er, stop talking."

Although the tone was gentle, it revealed an attitude and expression that could not be questioned.

"But they." Luo Ying'er said angrily.

"The mouth is on the body, and people can say whatever they want," the man said gently, "Why bother to draw your sword?"

As he spoke, he gave the old man an apologetic smile.

The old man smiled and said, "You are more reasonable. Go back and teach this little girl a lesson. It's because I have a good temper, otherwise she would have suffered a lot. When you are out, it's not the one who speaks the loudest who is right."

"Hey, little girl, this is not your home. No one will spoil you outside."

"You are so hateful!" Luo Ying'er said indignantly. "Well, I've been in enough trouble, do you want to cause me more trouble?" There was a hint of anger between the man's eyebrows, and his words were no longer so gentle.

But it is obvious that Luo Ying'er is more susceptible to this.

As soon as the man said this, she immediately put away her sword and sat down again.

The man nodded towards them shyly, and happened to meet Shi He's gaze, which made him feel awe-struck.

Having seen countless people, he immediately realized that this was definitely not a simple person.

Before, it was just because I didn't want to cause any more trouble, and Luo Ying'er was the one who was unreasonable first, so I didn't cause any more trouble.

Now seeing Shi He's eyes, although his eyes were indifferent, there was a strong murderous aura hidden between his brows, and when he frowned, there was an extremely heavy sense of oppression.

He secretly thanked his luck that no conflict occurred.

Otherwise, with their abilities, they would fail here sooner or later.

Although the old man's words were harsh, he had to admit that this was Xuzhou, not Yongjing.

His status as the third prince might be of some use in Yongjing.
But here, I'm afraid no one will care.

It is a truth that a fallen phoenix is ​​no better than a pheasant.

"Hey, little brother, let's continue our conversation." The old man didn't care about the little episode just now. He took a sip of tea and continued, "The old emperor's three princes are useless. In addition, the old emperor's generation has three brothers, and some of them were appointed as kings in other places. These people are all people with heavy troops. Do you think they would not be interested in this situation?"

"In addition, let's talk about Dayong. There is also a Zhenbei King who has been in charge of several states in the northwest for decades. He has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and generals under his command. I heard that he has countless powerful warriors in his mansion. This Zhenbei King is incredible. He is also a powerful warrior. I heard that he has crossed the threshold from Yuandan Realm to Zifu Realm not long ago."

"Once this old emperor falls, the situation that follows, tsk tsk tsk."

The old man's expression seemed to be smiling, but also a little expectant, as if he was waiting to see a good show.

What’s the hurdle between Yuandan realm and Zifu realm?

It turns out that the next realm after the Yuandan realm is the Zifu realm. Shi He's heart moved.

"According to what you said, the next step for Dayong is war. But it is very likely that the King of Zhenbei will ascend to that position?"

Shi He took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"That's hard to say," the old man said with a restrained smile, "The people I mentioned are all supported by some mysterious forces, and there are also some forces hidden in the dark, such as some forces left over from the previous dynasty. Several dynasties around Dayong are also watching.

"As for how many there are, we will only know after the old emperor dies."

"As far as I know, the King of Zhenbei has the full support of the sects in the northwest. The old emperor also has the great scholars from Jingyang Academy who use their noble energy to warm his meridians every day, and the Ziyang Palace gives him a Dahuan Pill every month to prolong his life.

Otherwise, the old emperor should have died long ago. How could he have survived until now?"

The old man snorted coldly and sneered repeatedly.
