Chapter 161: The noble Li Fo

Ling Xiao's words made Uncle Fu stunned. Then his wise eyes narrowed, coughed lightly, and said, "Do you think... is the King of the South? I also have this doubt, but why is the young master so sure that the Sword Sect is not the prince's person? Although the two Sword Sects in the palace will not obey the prince, but... Master, don't forget the assassination some time ago."

Ling Xiao nodded and said, "I know this. There is a reason why I dare to be sure that the man is not the prince's person. Ye Zi and I have seen the Sword Sect before."

"What?"

Uncle Fu, Ling Wu, Mo Qing and Meng Li were all stunned, with an incredible look in his eyes. He was a master of the Sword Sect level! To be honest, it might be easier to see His Majesty the King!

"Ye Zi and I accidentally witnessed this Sword Sect robbing the fifth-level monster that the Crown Prince had bought from the Huangpu Auction House. That time, only the outsiders, Ye Zi, might have seen it. And we can be sure that these two Sword Sects must be the same person! Therefore, I dare to conclude that this Sword Sect is definitely not the one found by the Crown Prince!"

After Ling Xiao finished speaking, Uncle Fu sighed and said, "Since that's the case, it seems... it's only him, but this is really surprising news. He can actually have an existence like the Sword Sect under his command. If the young master doesn't mind, he should inform the master of this matter."

Ling Xiao knew that the master was not talking about his father, but Marshal Qiu. He nodded and said, "Uncle Fu is doing it himself. I guess the clown should come back now, so let it go again!"

The clown was sent by Ling Xiao to the imperial capital to deliver letters to his parents. Although his soul changed, his heart did not change. Ling Xiao still attached great importance to his parents and brothers and sisters. He could not go back to the imperial capital for the Carnival. Ling Xiao asked the clown to bring some specialties and marine products to his parents. There was also a letter telling his life here. In general, he wanted his parents and family to rest assured that he was good here!

Uncle Fu nodded. He was different from ordinary people. He had followed the old marshal Qiu Chen and knew very clearly about the affairs between some senior officials of the empire. He also knew clearly about the struggle between His Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince for the ownership of imperial power. The old king seemed to intend to indulge such things.

Uncle Fu still remembers that when he was following Qiuchen, he once heard the king say in his ears in the palace: "My son must be like the Blazing Lion King who dominates the grassland! Only the best one can be the king!"

This statement well illustrates His Majesty the King's indulgence to the Prince and the King of the South over the years, and he turned a blind eye to their respective recruitment of troops. It was not until after being with Ling Xiao that Uncle Fu realized that the old king said that back then was a painful and helpless act.

Mo Qing said at this time: "The most troublesome thing at the moment is probably the three nobles. Haha, last night, they suffered the most heavy losses, and almost all of their supplies were robbed. At this moment, the heads of the three families were probably either asking the Government Affairs Department to issue a certificate to meet the king or cry at home."

Ling Xiao smiled indifferently and looked at Ling Wu. After Ling Wu snatched back the treasures last night, he was not transported out at all! It was in this Viscount Mansion!

The crisscrossing basements underground in the Viscount Mansion were discovered for a long time after Ling Xiao took over. The Li Houlin family has been in charge of Pengzes City for thousands of years, and the foundation is really rich!

In the process of discovering these basements, I even found a lot of amazing wealth. Otherwise, such a huge expense in recent times would have been unable to support the hundreds of thousands of gold coins in Ling Xiao’s hands!

After snatching back the things last night, they were sent directly into the depths of the basement. A lot of food that could not be taken away was simply burned by Ling Wu with a fire.

In short, after one night last night, the four nobles in Pengzes City will always become history. In the future, there will be only one noble, that is the Mo family! Of course, this does not include the lord Ling Xiao.

...

On the edge of the Penzes swamp, in the base of the King of Southern, laughter and joy came from the barracks of hundreds of thousands of troops. For these soldiers, this is no different from every other carnival. These days, they are completely meat-filled, eat meat in large pieces, drink wine in large bowls, and then you can get a generous reward! As the Second Highness was in a good mood, maybe somewhere would you get a group of girls for them to be happy.

However, this year, the Second Prince doesn't feel very good because there are no girls.

Li Wutong walked around the room with an extremely anxious expression. Mr. Peng, who was lying on the bed, closed his eyes, probably because he was a little upset by the sound of Li Wutong's footsteps. Mr. Peng coughed lightly and said calmly: "Your Highness, I am not dead yet. I will probably be cured after a few months of cultivation. Your Highness doesn't have to worry about you."

Seeing that Mr. Peng was finally speaking, Li Wutong breathed a sigh of relief. Last night, Mr. Peng returned seriously injured and almost scared Li Wu's soul. This old man was his greatest reliance and his last ace for the throne!

Others such as reputation and army... are actually not very important. As long as you sit in that position and command the world, who dares not to obey? Whoever has the power of speaking with the fist is strong! Li Wutong has always believed this.

But such a biggest support in his mind was so seriously injured. How could he not keep his heart hanging and uneasy?

"Old Peng, you finally spoke. Alas, I actually want to get the throne, but if you need to pay Mr. Peng, Wu Tong... would rather not be the throne!" The second highness Li Wutong said this very naturally and sincerely. Old Peng, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, and there was a touch of emotion inside. No matter what kind of master you are, you will always show a fragile side when you are injured. A master of the Sword Sect like Mr. Peng is no exception!

"Second Your Highness, you are so serious. I have kept in mind what you have treated me over the years. But this time, I am really embarrassed and I don't know what to say."

Li Wutong said in a deep voice: "Old Peng, you don't want to say that you must not force yourself. If you can hurt Mr. Peng's master, I believe..."

Before Li Wu finished speaking, Mr. Peng shook his head, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "If I lost to the hands of a warrior of the same level, I naturally have nothing to say. The problem is that I was injured like this by Ling Xiao's sword, which is really... I feel so shameless!"

"What...you said...Ling Xiao? That child... Tianluo's classmate? Lord?" Li Wutong said incoherently.

Mr. Peng sighed and nodded.

Li Wutong then came to his senses, his head shook like a rattle, and he looked disbelief: "How is that possible, Mr. Peng, don't joke, that young man, even if he fights his life, he will never have the cultivation of a crazy sword master. In front of you, he is not even qualified to be an ant. You can crush him to death with your move. Although I asked you to scare him, you said this... is too unbelievable."

Mr. Peng's old face was full of helplessness, and his eyes were full of doubt: "It's not just you who don't believe it, but even myself feel it's very incredible. That young man was only sixteen or seventeen years old, how could he hurt me with one sword? That sword... is the most powerful sword I have ever seen in my life! Although there are masters like Sword Emperor and Sword Master in the family, even if they take action, I believe it's just that! Such a move was used from a boy's hand... I can't figure out why. But... I prefer to believe that what I see is an illusion." Mr. Peng smiled bitterly.

Li Wutong looked horrified. He just questioned him just now, but he was just subconscious. He didn't believe Mr. Peng's words at all. In fact, Mr. Peng's words were too unacceptable!

"Can it be... it was that boy who used what secret technique? He could greatly improve his strength in a short period of time and issue a full blow." Li Wutong said calmly.

Mr. Peng pondered for a while before saying, "If it is said that in a critical moment, people will burst out with potential that is several times their own strength. I believe this, but I have never heard of secret techniques like that of Ling Xiao."

"No matter what, we have succeeded this time. Mr. Peng is relieved. At least, this matter should be enough for my prince brother to have a headache. Haha, after hiding for so many years, it is time for him to see my strength. I heard that I have a master of the sword sect around me, Mr. Peng, you said, my dear brother, will you not be able to sleep?"

Mr. Peng nodded gently: "Maybe, this is our only gain. Now Ling Xiao is probably thinking about how to take revenge on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness is probably unaware of those vulnerable mercenaries, because those vulnerable mercenaries were indeed found by him. Humph, speaking of it, he underestimated Ling Xiao's strength. Not to mention others, just Ling Xiao's housekeeper, that little guy from the Demon Sword Master, oh... He looks like an old man now. The kid who was with Qiu Chen before was enough for those mercenaries to suffer by one."

Li Wutong sneered: "To be honest, my brother is not stupid. He knew that no matter what price he paid, as long as Ling Xiao could die in our territory, he would win. But he didn't expect that there would be my people around him, and then we took the opportunity to disturb him. Alas... Speaking of which, the only mistake was Mr. Peng's injury. I really didn't expect that Ling Xiao had such strength. It seems that the attitude towards him and the Ling family needs to be changed in the future. Tian Luo should go to Pengzes City. What should Mr. Peng thinks?"

Mr. Peng chuckled twice and said, "Your Highness wants to do whatever you want. I have lived for so many years, so what else can I not be able to see? Everything is the most important thing for Your Highness!"

Li Wutong gave a deep bow to Ling Xiao and said, "Then Mr. Peng is safe and healed. I have asked someone to buy the best top-grade elixir! I will definitely help Mr. Peng recover as soon as possible!"

Li Wutong walked out of the door and his face was already gloomy. At this time, a soldier came over and said a few words in Li Wutong's ear. Li Wutong's face suddenly changed color. He raised his two thick sword eyebrows and waved his hand to let the soldier go down. Then he said to himself: "What awesomeness, even the three nobles took the opportunity to clean up together. Ling Xiao, I have been respectful to you again and again, but I didn't expect that you still gave me such a big surprise. How do I need to win over you?"

...

In the Pengzesi City Government Affairs Office, Li Fo, the secretary, was wearing a brand new uniform. This was the uniform of the Pengzesi City officials. He looked particularly arrogant when he walked on the street outside. When others saw him, he would look envious. This was a feeling that Li Fo had never felt before. Li Fo had combed his hair meticulously, and his fingernails were repaired very cleanly. He looked elegant and graceful. Li Fo thought confidently: His image, when he walked out of the door, he would probably make many noble ladies scream!

Early this morning he heard about the killing that caused a sensation in the city last night. He also felt very unhappy. He thought those people were crazy and chose to rob on such a grand festival. However, this had nothing to do with him. The Carnival of the Flame Lion King does not belong to him. The three nobles in Pengzes City had nothing to do with him. What Li Fo was concerned about was whether he could truly gain the appreciation of Viscount Ling Xiao and gain a foothold here for a long time.

A noisy sound interrupted Li Fo's thoughts, which made him a little unhappy. Fortunately, he had just taken office, walked to the door, opened the door and frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Quickly issue us a certificate! We are going to the imperial capital and meet His Majesty the King!"

A fat man with a weight of more than 300 kilograms was moving towards Li Fo, like a moving mountain, making a huge buzzing sound, which made Li Fo's ears hurt. He frowned and looked at the big fat man and asked, "Who are you? Why are you so loud? Don't you know that this is where the Government Affairs Department is?"

"What are you? Come and find your city lord Mo Qing! Otherwise, be careful that you can't afford to take advantage of it!"

The three of them became much haggard overnight and looked extremely old. Cui Ze looked at Li Fo with an angry face and shouted.

"Bold! I am the clerk appointed by the Lord of Penzes City personally. What are you doing? How dare you disrespect me or disrespect me is equivalent to disrespect to Lord of the Lord! You... why don't you apologize to me quickly!"

Li Fo shouted at the three of them with a righteous look on his face.

The three heads of the family were carrying some followers behind them, and they immediately stopped doing it. Such a big thing happened at home, and the fire in their hearts was enough to burn a mountain. Now that they saw a small clerk who dared to stop him, a servant immediately scolded: "Don't be ignorant of life and death! Do you know who these three people are in front of you? Have you heard of the three nobles in Pengzes City? Even your city lord, you must be polite when you see our master. What are you?"
