The housekeeper sneered and said: "I can completely imagine how our Emperor is eager to tear the corpse of the man named Feng who came to this auction into pieces..."
"Why? What does the royal dispute have to do with the person named Feng?" Ye Xiao asked in confusion.
"Because... the eight major families and the major sects are related to each other, and at the same time they dislike each other... and the members of the eight major families have now entered the core of the imperial power, then naturally the major sects will not be reconciled... Just in time
This time, good things appeared in the auction, so important figures from various sects came one after another for this reason, and settled in the capital openly and honestly..."
"Otherwise... how could even the Danyun Divine Pill allow people like Xiao Moyan, Meng Wufei, and Li Changqing to arrive? The considerations involved are really deep."
Ye Xiao nodded and said yes.
Butler Song's analysis was detailed and insightful, which benefited Ye Xiao a lot. However, what made Ye Xiao more concerned was another matter outside the body——
As a housekeeper, he is really not a simple person. He seems to have little regard for the current emperor. How can such a person be simple?
"And if that's all this time, that's fine... However, the Mu family, which is leaning like the Great Wall on the prince's side, actually at this critical moment... got into trouble with the unfathomable power of Fanyunfanyulou, and was killed to the point where everyone was on their backs.
.The power has been greatly damaged. I believe that the Mu family will no longer dare to act rashly in a short time. I am afraid that they will have to worry about how to apologize to Fanyunfuyulou..."
"As a result, the prince's power is destined to be greatly reduced. The other two princes will not let go of this opportunity and take advantage of the situation... At this time, various sects entered the imperial city, and the court, which had just returned to peace and calm, once again became turbulent...
…It is foreseeable that His Majesty the Emperor is very anxious.”
"That's it..." Ye Xiao nodded, with an indifferent expression on his face, but he couldn't help but be a little stunned in his heart.
Damn it, I just took out a few rubbish pills, how can they affect the overall situation of the country like this?
This... this kind of thing seems to be a bit too fantasy...
"This is the current situation in the capital, a terrifying balance, extremely delicate." After Butler Song said these words, he had already drank fifteen or six glasses of wine, but his complexion was still neither red nor white, as usual, and he drank a lot.
Really good.
"The current situation is like this, but under the deliberate influence of His Majesty the Emperor, the civil and military ministers, especially the first-rank officials, and military bosses are maintaining a wait-and-see attitude; however, as His Majesty's health becomes worse and worse, this
This wait-and-see attitude will gradually change. If His Majesty's condition deteriorates, haha..."
Butler Song sneered and said: "And this is just an internal factor... The Chen Emperor's Kingdom... haha, it is destined to not be stable for a few days."
Ye Xiao asked: "Besides internal factors, are there any external factors?"
"There must be."
The butler drank another glass of wine: "Now, the other two empires are ready to move, and their troops are mobilized frequently, and they often organize some simulation exercises... Haha, you don't know, every organization of this thing requires a huge amount of resources.
Money. If you don’t really want to fight, it would be foolish to engage in exercises every day. Fighting is essentially a fight for money.”
"In fact, there are signs in many aspects. Basically everything on the market is increasing in price. Although the amplitude is not large, it is only increasing slowly, but it is always increasing. This wave of price increase changes is from ten days ago.
Start. Grain, salt, meat, metal and steel, wood and fodder...the prices of everything are rising."
A hint of shrewdness flashed in the housekeeper's eyes: "Ten days ago, we went out to purchase food, and a pound of rice cost eight cents. Nine days ago, it cost eight cents and five cents. Six days ago, it became nine cents. Today, it costs eight cents.
The transaction price reached eleven cents... In the past ten days, it has increased by three cents, just for a pound of rice, and has increased by more than 30% of the base price."
"At first I thought it was just an exception, so I went out to do some research, and found that not only rice, but all other items were also increasing in price. Among them, steel was the most outrageous. Originally, two kilograms of steel cost less than a penny.
, Now, the price has soared to three cents per pound... Moreover, if you want to purchase a large amount of steel, there is no market for it. It seems that control has begun..."
"On the surface, these things are just people's livelihood issues. But looking at the overall situation... Unless there is a sudden large-scale hoarding, prices will never increase like this... And now all countries have been doing well in the past few years.
The people are prosperous, and there are few natural disasters. However, at this time, there is a large amount of stockpiling, but for what purpose? It is nothing more than..."
The butler drank another glass of wine and sighed: "...There's going to be a war..."
"Uh." Ye Xiao said silently.
"The other main reason is... Fanyun Fuyu Tower has reappeared in the world." The butler chuckled: "In the past three thousand years, Fan Yun Fu Yu Tower has appeared nine times... Each time it appears, it has led to a change in the situation. A change in the situation of the entire continent.
"
"The entire continent will be unified once in this change, and then disappear...and no more than a hundred years later at the latest, the unified situation will be broken again, and it will become a situation of separatism among heroes, and then after some conquests, it will evolve into several
The great empire... everyone is on the sidelines of each other, and everything is in peace. Just like the current situation..."
"As long as this balanced situation appears, it will not take more than a hundred years, and the storm will appear again. After it appears...everything starts to increase in price at the same time...and then war suddenly breaks out. In the end, there will always be one country that dominates the world.
…”
"This is the ninth time Fannyunfuyu Tower has appeared." Butler Song finally looked a little drunk, but his eyes became clearer and clearer: "This is the ninth time in three thousand years."
"So it's actually like this." Ye Xiao suddenly realized.
"And Mr. Bai, who was extremely mysterious and almost a legendary figure, also appeared nine times. Every time, it was Mr. Bai." The steward finally cursed: "It's not so much a legend as it is an immortal."
monster"
Ye Xiao was stunned.
"So, the beauty in the clouds and the beauty in the sky are also people who have been coming back and forth for thousands of years. Aren't they also monsters?"
"They are also monsters. They should all be monsters." The butler nodded heavily.
Ye Xiao's heart tightened upon hearing this.
Although the housekeeper didn't know it, Ye Xiao knew it himself: the men in black who came to Ye's house that night were actually the people who turned over the clouds and rained the floor.
Could it be that I am going to fight against these monsters this time?
If he was the Laughing Lord in the past, he would be nothing to a legend, but now, the roles have been reversed. To Fan Yun Fu Yu Lou, the current Ye Xiao is really nothing.
Even an ant may not be counted.
"So, if a war really breaks out, the scale will definitely sweep the world... Then as the general of Zhenbei... won't my father bear the brunt of it?" Ye Xiao asked.
When Ye Xiao said these three words, 'My father,' there was no resistance in his heart.
The main reason is what the housekeeper said a few days ago: "You were born with deficiencies and were seriously injured in an accident, resulting in blocked meridians. Your father spent all his property to extend your life and keep you as healthy as a normal person.
Never. In the end, His Majesty claimed that he had a magical elixir in his hand that could cure you, but the exchange condition proposed by His Majesty was that he and your father would become sworn brothers and guard Northern Xinjiang for twenty years."
Ye Xiao is only sixteen years old this year.
In other words, after this father spent all his family property for his son, he sold his best youth for twenty years.
For such a father, even though Ye Xiao is no longer the same Ye Xiao as before, he still feels the same way.
Speaking of which, Ye Xiao was an orphan in his previous life. He had longed for this kind of human affection and parental love.
This time I was lucky enough to be able to live another life, and I also got the long-awaited family love, which I naturally cherished even more.
"That's not so bad." The butler's eyes showed arrogance: "I believe that there may not be anyone within the scope of Hanyang Continent who can threaten the life of eldest brother. Even if everyone in this world is dead, your father will still be alive.
, safe and sound”
Ye Xiao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
It’s really unlikely that anyone can threaten Big Brother’s life.
Big brother
I finally understood where the problem with me came from: Butler Song, who had always treated himself as a slave in his own family, was actually his father's sworn brother.
It's just that his sworn brother has a completely different meaning from His Majesty's sworn brother.
This time, it was probably because I drank too much that some clues were revealed.
Somehow, Ye Xiao suddenly felt that the family he was in was full of mystery.
Also, why does he have so much confidence in his father? Is it not surprising that even a top expert in the Tianyuan Grandmaster realm would die in such a fight of millions of troops?
Where does such confidence come from?
Could it be that my cheap dad's strength is higher than this? But if it is really higher, it seems to have exceeded the limit of strength in this plane. It doesn't seem to make sense.
The housekeeper seemed to have drunk too much, and smiled to himself: "Hey... I'm drunk, I'm actually drunk, I haven't been drunk for a long time... Your father and my eldest brother once strictly ordered me to drink again, but today I want to drink when I'm happy
Have two drinks, kid, don’t tell your father that I drank, let alone that I drank too much, do you hear me?”
Ye Xiao was stunned when he heard this. I'm going to choke you. You can't be unreasonable when you drink too much. I used to think of myself as a servant, but now, you're teaching me a lesson in the tone of my elders. What kind of "laughing boy" do you call me?
…
An abnormal flush suddenly appeared on Butler Song's face, and his breathing became heavier. After a few light coughs, he suddenly coughed violently.
For a long time, he lowered his head, turned his head, held it with a handkerchief, and spit out a mouthful of phlegm.
Obviously, he didn't want Ye Xiao to see this scene.
It's a pity that although Ye Xiao's strength is not that great, his eyes are still as sharp as before; at least he can see the glimmer of it.
Ye Xiao's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
purple gold
The blood that the housekeeper spit out turned out to be purple-gold.
