Chapter 217 The Old Earl Shows His Power
"Liu Xu! Did you kill someone just now?"
For some reason, the master suddenly changed his tone and continued to ask!
Liu Xu didn't dare to hide it, and quickly answered: "Yes! Master. Before I came to see you, I killed a few Northern Wilderness barbarians and fought a great battle with a barbarian cultivator. Unfortunately, I didn't kill him with my own hands!"
"Oh! The people of Northern Wilderness are really willing to spend a lot of money this time! Is a little tiger cub really worth all the trouble? Or are they just pawns being used?"
"This! Liu Xu doesn't dare to make a random guess! But they were able to find out the whereabouts of the little tiger cub so quickly, there must be an insider!"
"Well, what you said makes sense. Some people in Changluo City now see that my health is not as good as before, and they are taking my words less and less seriously!"
"master……"
"Okay! You don't need to say anything more! Go back and tell that tiger that I said that as long as I am alive, his little tiger cub will be fine in Changluo City! Go back! I'm a little tired! Who knows tomorrow, I have to face his father's crazy Sabo! Go back! Don't come to Changluo again!"
"Master... wuwuwu... Master... Xiao Xuzi... is... goodbye to you... forever! I only hope that in the next life... Xiao Xuzi... wuwuwu... can still... serve you!... Xiao Xuzi... is gone!... Master... take care!"
Liu Xu cried and kowtowed nine times before getting up and leaving.
After Liu Xu left, the master sighed and said to the person who had been standing beside him: "Alas! In fact, sometimes I envy that silly tiger and this little Xuzi!"
Then, he changed the subject, his tone became cold, and he sneered: "Some people! Always think that I will die soon! So they can do whatever they want! Go! Warn those people! Tell them to deceive me and be quiet! If you want revenge, wait until I die! Also, tell those useless little guys who deceived me that they can fight, but don't do anything out of line, especially don't chill the hearts of those who are loyal to their family! Especially that little tiger cub, don't let them use him as a tool to fight each other! Go!"
"Yes! I'll do it right away!"
After everyone left, the house returned to peace.
Although several houses were burned down, the remaining houses and pavilions were still large enough to accommodate the people and belongings brought by Liu Feiyun.
After checking and finding that his elder sister was not injured but just exhausted from the battle, Liu Feiyun finally felt relieved.
After the eldest sister applied medicine and bandaged the wound on her shoulder herself, she returned to Cuiliu Pavilion.
At this time, there were only about thirty people left in the entire mansion, including Liu Feiyun, twenty guards, eight maids, and five confidants.
After a bloody battle, although six people were injured, fortunately no one was killed.
The reason for the small number of casualties is actually very simple: when the Northern Wilderness barbarians attacked the house, Liu Feiyun was accompanied by only five guards and Song Tao and the other two, and the rest were on their way. In addition to Lord Kru, the barbarians who attacked the house had only two masters, five cultivators, and six apprentices. The remaining twenty or so people were not even real martial artists. Liu Feiyun's five guards were all cultivators, not counting Song Tao and the other three.
In fact, they were the six maids and servants, who were also warriors at the cultivator level.
These people are the best selected from the Calling Valley. Without outstanding performance, how could Liu Feiyun bring them to Changluo?
"It seems like we need to find some more martial artists in Changluo City to serve as outer guards! We still don't have enough manpower!"
After checking Tiemulingxin's injuries, Liu Feiyun thought to himself.
After being busy during the day and fighting bloody battles at night, Liu Feiyun was really exhausted and soon fell into a deep sleep in the pavilion.
Inside the mansion, ten guards were distributed around the pavilion to provide strict protection.
Outside the house, more than a hundred yamen runners were patrolling back and forth.
Liu Feiyun fell asleep peacefully, but in Changluo City, some people had trouble falling asleep because of him.
On the second day, at the small court meeting, Fufeng Bo, who had rarely attended court meetings in a year, rarely attended the court.
In the court, the old earl, relying on his age and the emperor's favoritism towards the nobles who served the dragon, threw a tantrum again. He cursed loudly, burst into tears, and even staged a drama of wanting to hit his head against a pillar and die!
The target is directly pointed at foreign factories.
The civil and military officials in the court seemed to see the farce of last year again! Last time it was mainly because of his son, but this time it was for his grandson!
"My poor Fufeng Liu family has served the great ancestor since our ancestors! Moreover, in the past four hundred years, nineteen generations have fought for the Great Chen Dynasty and worked hard! Even if we have no merits, we have worked hard! Your Majesty! My poor Fufeng Liu family now has thousands of hectares of fertile land, but only this one seedling is left! If he was killed by the barbarians on the battlefield! I would accept it! It deserves that my Liu family's luck has run out, and no one else can be blamed! My little grandson has been loyal to Your Majesty! But now that he has come to the feet of the emperor, he was almost used by the traitor and almost lost his life! I feel cowardly! I feel wronged! Your Majesty! Please make the decision for this old minister! If Your Majesty is unwilling to make the decision for me, I will die in this court, so that I can quickly find the late emperor and complain to him! Woo woo woo!"
Seeing this nearly eighty-year-old man crying and making a fuss, the emperor had not yet expressed his opinion, but more than a dozen civil and military officials stood up one after another to plead for the old man and cheer him up! Among them were three commanders of the four major legions guarding Changluo City, the prefect of Changluo, the patrol envoy of the South City, several imperial envoys, and seven or eight old nobles!
For a moment, the chief and deputy chief managers of the external factory were sweating profusely. They could never have imagined that so many people would cheer for Fu Fengbo, the old soldier fanatic.
Finally, the emperor once again spoke to appease the old earl, severely reprimanded the foreign factory, and asked the foreign factory to compensate the old earl's grandson. Only then did the matter come to an end.
It was from this day that Liu Feiyun's name began to be remembered by many bigwigs in the court.
As for Liu Feiyun, he was busy assigning tasks in Cuiliu Pavilion and studying how to prepare for his apprenticeship meeting. Although until now, the expected teacher still didn't know that a little butcher would come to worship him as a master.
After another busy whole day of research, we finally finalized a specific preparatory work plan. All that remained was for the people below to carry it out according to the plan.
After dinner, before leaving Cuiliu Pavilion, Liu Feiyun invited his elder sister to go to Linglong Pavilion to meet friends tomorrow!
"A foreign visitor from tens of thousands of miles away! And he's a nobleman who is equivalent to a prince of our Great Chen Dynasty! Big sister, you must go and meet him! He has already circled half of the planet and has a lot of knowledge! It would be good for you to see the world!"
"Oh! Are you saying that I have long hair but short knowledge?"
"Ugh! How is that possible! If anyone dares to say that my eldest sister is short-sighted, I will spit shit on his face! However, the business philosophy of foreign countries is indeed unique. There will always be some benefits to mutual exchanges!"
"Bah! Look at what you said, you have become a dog yourself! Then what am I? Fine! Anyway, the mission has been assigned and I have nothing to do for the time being, so I'll go meet the foreign prince you mentioned!"
