Chapter 8: A Self-Proclaimed Demon

Towns, counties, counties, prefectures, and countries are governed at all levels.

There are a total of 36 counties in Kyushu in the Great Xia Kingdom, so that the county-level officials below are not qualified to meet the emperor who lives in a simple and lofty position.

It is often rumored that the emperor is angry and ambushes millions of corpses and sheds thousands of miles of blood, so the people have always stayed away from the mysterious royal family, and in their eyes, these people must be cold-blooded and ruthless, and moody.

Normal people know that the crown prince is the prince, the future son of heaven, and the nobility of his identity is self-evident. Ye Xiaochuan, who had never even seen county-level officials, was naturally horrified, and even suddenly had a sense of absurdity as if he was in a different world.

"Hmph, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

After a long time, Ye Xiaochuan finally calmed down, and after careful consideration, he suddenly sneered and said: "You are just an old cripple in Yangshan Town, I am afraid that you have never even seen the face of the county prince, how can you know the identity of the prince?

He had a vague impression of the one-eyed lame, so he concluded that he was a broken household in the town of Yangshan.

"Hehe, you have a lot of eyes. The one-eyed lame man turned a deaf ear to Ye Xiaochuan's vicious words, but grinned and smiled mysteriously: "I'm more and more optimistic about you now!"

Ye Xiaochuan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, he really couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.

But he is just a little inexplicable, and the current grim situation does not allow him to get to the bottom of it. Besides, people who think eggs are delicious may not want to meet the hen that lays eggs.

So he pursed his lips slightly, glanced at the one-eyed lame man with a sharp look, and turned around without looking back, striding away.

"If it's really that kind of physique, maybe ...... It may or may not go far. The one-eyed cripple didn't say anything to keep him, just stared at Ye Xiaochuan's back and muttered to himself, with an inexplicable brilliance flashing in his eyes.

Le House, meeting room.

"Ye Xiaochuan, your courage is really not small, you dare to come to my mansion at this time?"

If Ye Dachuan was here, he would definitely be taken aback! Since Le Tianba has rarely shown up in recent years and has done many "good deeds," his reputation is not bad, so he escaped this time.

But in just two days, his whole person seemed to be dozens of years old, his temples were slightly frosty, his expression was extremely tired, as if he had not slept for three days and three nights, and his whole body exuded a shocking sorrow.

"You should know the purpose of my visit, right?" Ye Xiaochuan's expression was indifferent, with a breezy look, as if he was just here to chat.

"Hehe, let me tell you, Lao Tzu has no time and no interest, to figure out your thoughts!"

Le Tianba's eyes were slightly condensed, his expression was gloomy, and the deliberate pause in his words was quite sarcastic.

"So, it looks like you're not going to save your son!

"Wait!"

Le Tianba's eyes shot a sharp essence, staring at Ye Xiaochuan's face, the latter didn't say a word, calmly looked at him, his eyes were like stars, shining.

After a moment's effort, Le Tianba suddenly smiled, waved his hand and shouted: "Lao Zhang, the distinguished guest has come to the door, why don't you serve tea now?" Go, take the good tea I have treasured for a long time!"

After that, Le Tianba retreated from the house, closed the door tightly, and talked secretly with Ye Xiaochuan for a long time.

"This way...... The stakes are too high!" a hesitant look appeared on Le Tianba's face.

Ye Xiaochuan glanced lightly at his hands holding the teacup and trembling slightly, the latter's eyes flashed, he was aware of it, and he wanted to explain in a vague way: "It's not me...... Alas, you don't know, our Le family has been here for generations, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is the eighteenth generation of Tu'er......! I really don't want to bury all the inheritance that my ancestors have worked so hard to accumulate!"

"Understandable. But you have to think clearly. Your Le family has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has become an iron law! I don't think you can keep your family wealth alone for the rest of your life, right? To put it bluntly, you don't have the shame to face your ancestors and ancestors if you do this, right?"

When Ye Xiaochuan said this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked, "Why don't you see Mrs. Le......?"

"After she gave birth to Tu'er, she died!" Le Tianba's expression was a little stunned, and the sadness in his eyes was extremely thick.

"I'm really sorry, the kid doesn't know ......," Ye Xiaochuan hurriedly explained.

Le Tianba let out a long sigh, waved his hand to interrupt him, and said, "Let's go!"

Ye Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment, then his face changed slightly for the first time, and he asked tentatively, "Are you going to ......?"

"Do you know how deep Second Master Long's background is?" Le Tianba suddenly became hideous, stood up and slammed the tea cup in his hand to the ground, opened his mouth and roared: "How can a small person like me provoke a character that even he is afraid of? You want to die yourself, don't drag Lao Tzu down!"

This time, Ye Xiaochuan was really shocked. Immediately, his mind raced, and he concluded that the old man's usually extremely low-key appearance was mostly just an appearance, and this old guy was not a pure-hearted person no matter how he looked at it.

What has he done behind his back all these years?

"Damn! this old man may not know how many sons he has outside!" Ye Xiaochuan couldn't help but scold when he thought of this. But he suddenly remembered Old Man Le's previous fierce reaction and tired and mournful expression, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like he was pretending, he always felt that he had neglected something.

"Hehe, have you thought of a way to save your brother?"

Ye Xiaochuan stopped his steps, turned his head to look, and saw that the alarmist one-eyed lame man from before was holding on to a decaying earthen wall and looking at him with a smile. That look, as if he was looking at some rare treasure, made him uncomfortable, and even faintly stunned in his heart.

"Hmph, a waste person who can't stand, where does he have the courage to point fingers at other people's affairs?"

"Are you scared?" the one-eyed lame man asked this time without turning a deaf ear to his vicious words.

"Hahaha......"

Ye Xiaochuan laughed exaggeratedly, as if he had heard the funniest and most absurd joke in the world, and laughed hysterically for a long time before he sneered with contempt in his eyes: "Don't you have a problem with your brain? I don't know that I am just a cripple? I wondered, there are so many people in the town, do you have to pester Lao Tzu? Could it be that in your eyes, I look like a stupid x? It makes you feel that kind of affection for your companions? Or ......?"

"Don't you feel like a clown jumping off the beam? Saying such a bunch of nonsense, not a cover-up, what is it?" The one-eyed lame man's face was always filled with a warm smile.

But this fell in Ye Xiaochuan's eyes, and there was no doubt that it became a silent mockery, I saw that his eyes were red, and his facial muscles twitched slightly from anger, and with a roar, he instantly rushed to the side of the one-eyed lame, and then grabbed his black collar and lifted it up sharply!

Not a single move!

Ye Xiaochuan felt like he was lifting a thousand catties of boulder, although his face was flushed, he couldn't shake the other party in the slightest, like a grasshopper shaking a tree, and he couldn't do anything about it!

He was amazed, his eyes slowly returned to their normal color, and then he took a few big steps back, staring at the one-eyed cripple in front of him who suddenly became unfathomable, and said in a deep voice, word by word: "Who are you sacred?"

"Where is sacred?haha...... Words like that really don't matter to me!"

The one-eyed cripple suddenly sneered, and then leaned against the wall with an indifferent expression, his eyes wandering, as if he was caught in the old and complicated past. For a long time, the hoarse voice whistled into Ye Xiaochuan's ears along the suddenly ghostly cold wind, making him shudder.

"I'm used to people calling me a demon!"
