Everyone in the city now knew that the 200,000 soldiers of the imperial court outside could turn into bandits at any time. After all, in this day and age, soldiers and bandits were not much different.
On the other hand, Prince Ning's troops were the real bandits.
Under such circumstances, even a young lady or daughter-in-law would try their best to stay at home, let alone a beautiful woman.
Unless they really couldn't take advantage of the situation, how could they let their daughter-in-law or children go out on the streets?
However, from the way the grandfather and grandson were dressed, they were definitely not people who lacked money. Although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, some details on their bodies revealed that they were not people who lacked money, especially their clothes. They should be people from the martial arts world.
Just as Xiao Rui was sizing up the two of them, the old man also said something interesting, and then stopped talking. At this time, he hooked his cheeks and asked for money.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the girl next to him smiled and took a big plate to the customers below. She handed the plate over while saying that it was hard work.
Seeing that they wanted money, many people turned around and left. After all, it was not worth it to spend money just to listen to a story these days. However, there were still some people who liked to listen to stories and paid to stay. When they came to Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui also threw in a silver piece.
This was not because he had money to burn, but because he was testing the waters.
Sure enough, the girl only smiled at Xiao Rui before turning around and leaving.
Looking at the girl's departing footsteps, Xiao Rui was even more certain that these two people should be Jianghu people because this girl had practiced Qinggong before…
Thinking of this, Xiao Rui was not in a hurry. He found a table and sat down. He ordered a table full of wine and dishes and poured himself a drink.
After about two hours, two footsteps came to Xiao Rui's side. Without waiting for Xiao Rui to speak, the old storyteller sat down in front of Xiao Rui.
"Little brother is so elegant. In this chaotic war, you're still drinking outside?”Facing Xiao Rui, the old man said with a smile.
"Isn't the old man the same? Bringing such a beautiful granddaughter out to tell a story in this chaotic situation was simply…against common sense!”Xiao Rui chuckled and looked at the girl beside him.
"Sigh, my family is in decline. If I don't come out to tell stories, won't I starve to death?”The old man looked at Xiao Rui with a smile. He didn't care and continued to speak.
"If your family is considered to be in decline, then we'll have to join Beggar's Sect.”
"Hahahaha, what's wrong with being a beggar? I know a guy who is a beggar, but he loves to eat. He can be said to be the best gourmet in the world.”Hearing Xiao Rui's words, the old man continued with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Rui knew who he was talking about. Nine-fingered God Beggar Hong Qigong, the second gang leader chosen after Xiao Feng left. He was also known as the whitest and cleanest young gang leader. His only hobby was eating…
"Old man, we don't seem to be talking about food. You came here to look for me, right? If there's anything, just say it!”After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Xiao Rui really did not like this old man who liked to beat around the bush. He put down his chopsticks and asked.
"No, no, no. I originally came here because I had something to do, but now that I've seen you, I'm fine.”The old man shook his head with a smile and said indifferently.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Rui raised his eyebrows and became even more confused.
" I came here to kill those scum of the martial arts world who had joined Prince Ning. Later, I heard that you were here, so I was prepared to come and see you. I am now sure that you have the ability to eliminate these scum of the martial arts world. Then, there is no need for me to do anything. Compared to you representing the imperial court, I am much weaker..." The old man laughed and replied Xiao Rui.
"Are you Elder Sun?" As soon as he finished speaking, a character introduction that Xiao Rui had seen in the database of the Dragon Guardian Race was reflected in his mind.
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets, Sun Baifa, was originally one of the Amorous Swordsmen, Heartless Sword. He was rated as the number one person in the Weapon List by Wandering Know-it-all. Of course, in this comprehensive martial arts world, he was not considered a super expert, but he still had the level of an Innate Expert.
In the world of Little Li Flying Dagger, he was finally tricked to death by his granddaughter. Sun Xiaohong begged him to replace Li Xunhuan to duel with Shangguan Jinhong, and then he died tragically in Shangguan Jinhong's hands. According to Li Xunhuan, because he was getting older, his energy was exhausted, and he was already used to high places. Because his martial arts were too high, he was worried about gains and losses. Therefore, he began to fear and escape. In a fight between experts, any flaw was enough to take a person's life, let alone fear!
In this world, Sun Baifa was naturally not the number one in the world. In fact, he was not even in the top ten in the world. However, what he did was similar to what Little Li Flying Dagger did.
Maintaining the balance of the martial world…
This was what he said. In fact, he was trying his best not to let one side become big and not let a unified sect appear in the martial world. This way, he could reduce the hatred and bloodshed in the martial world.
He had been doing pretty well these years. This time, he came here to find trouble with those who had joined Prince Ning's line. Xiao Rui was an official, so he had nothing to do with him. Although Xiao Rui was already a Xiantian level expert, he was not actually a Jianghu person.
Hearing Xiao Rui call out his name, the old man smiled. He didn't say yes or no. He just looked at Xiao Rui. Xiao Rui also smiled at this time. It was all in silence.
"Old man, let me treat you to a drink!" Xiao Rui picked up another wine glass, filled it up, and placed it in front of Sun Baifa.
"Thank you so much!" Sun Baifa didn't resist Xiao Rui's actions. After smiling, he picked up his wine glass and drank it in one gulp…
Xiao Rui and Sun Baifa drank until the lanterns were lit up. Sun Baifa took Sun Xiaohong and left. Xiao Rui returned to the courier station and drank with Sun Baifa for a day, which made Xiao Rui's anger dissipate a little. This era was already like this. He didn't have the ability and effort to change it. Although he was very lazy and didn't want to change the world himself, he didn't mind proposing a solution. Just look at the people in this world. How did he choose... At least now, Zhu Chunhao's choice was wrong!
