The butler sneered and said, "I can fully imagine that our Emperor Xià is now eager to bring out the broken corpse of the man surnamed Feng who came to this auction......

"Why, what does the royal dispute have to do with that surnamed Feng?" Ye Xiao asked puzzled.

"Because...... The eight major families and the major sects are connected to each other, and at the same time, they don't like each other...... And now that the people of the eight major families have entered the core of imperial power, then the major sects will naturally not be reconciled...... It just so happened that there were good things at the auction this time, so the important figures of the various sects came one after another for this reason and settled in the capital openly......"

"Otherwise...... Even if it is Danyun Shendan, how can it make characters like Xiao Moyan, Dream Wuyi, and Li Changqing come? The considerations in this are really very deep. ”

Ye Xiao nodded;

Steward Song's analysis was meticulous and incisive, which benefited Ye Xiao a lot, but what made Ye Xiao care more was another thing outside the body-

This housekeeper is really not a simple person, he doesn't look at the current emperor's majesty, and he doesn't seem to look at it very much?

"And if that's all there is to it this time...... However, the Mu family, which is like the Great Wall on the side of the crown prince, actually ...... at this critical moment provoked the unfathomable strength of the cloud-overturning rain building, and was killed on his back. The power has been greatly damaged, and I believe that the Mu family will no longer dare to act rashly in a short period of time, but I am afraid that I will have to worry about how to apologize to the Cloud Storm Building......"

In this way, the power of the crown prince is destined to be greatly reduced, and the other two princes will definitely not let go of this opportunity and take advantage of the situation...... At this time, the various sects entered the imperial city, and the court, which had just been restored to calm and calm, was surging again...... His Majesty the Emperor is already in a state of flux, which is already a foreseeable thing!"

"I see...... Ye Xiao nodded, his face was full of indifference, but he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded in his heart.

Damn, Lao Tzu took out so many garbage pills casually, and he was able to affect the overall situation of the country like this?

This...... This kind of thing seems to be too mysterious, right......

"This is the current situation in the capital, a terrifying balance, extremely delicate. After Steward Song said these words, he had already eaten fifteen or sixteen glasses of wine, but his face was still neither red nor white, as usual, the amount of wine was really good.

"The situation is like this now, but under the deliberate influence of the emperor, the ministers of civil and military affairs, especially the first-class officials, and the military bigwigs, are maintaining a wait-and-see attitude......;

Steward Song sneered and said, "And this is just an internal factor...... Chen Imperial ...... Hehe, it's destined to be settled for a few days. ”

Ye Xiao asked, "In addition to internal factors, are there any external factors?"

"There must be. ”

The butler poured another glass of wine into his stomach: "Now, the other two empires are all ready to move, their troops are frequently mobilized, and they often organize some simulated exercises...... Hehe, Childe doesn't know, every time this thing is organized, it needs a lot of money. If you don't really want to fight, it would be foolish to conduct drills every day. Fighting a war is essentially fighting for money. ”

"In fact, there are signs in many ways, everything on the market is basically rising in price, although the magnitude is not large, only slowly growing, but it is always rising, and this wave of price increase changes began ten days ago. Grain, salt, meat, metal, steel, timber, forage...... Everything is going up in price. ”

A hint of shrewdness flashed in the butler's eyes: "Ten days ago, we went out to buy grain, and a pound of rice was worth eight cents; nine days ago, it was eight cents and five cents; six days ago, it became nine cents, and today, the market price has reached eleven yuan...... In the 10 days before and after, the price of rice rose by more than 30 percent! Just a pound of rice rose by more than 30 percent. ”

"Originally, I thought it was just an example, so I went out to investigate, and found that not only rice, but everything else is also rising...... Moreover, if you want to purchase a large amount of steel, you will directly have no price. It seems that the regulation ...... has begun"

"On the surface, these things are just people's livelihood issues. But look at the big picture...... Unless there is a sudden large amount of stockpiling, the price will not rise as much as possible...... And now that all countries have had good weather in the past few years, the people have become rich, and there have been few natural disasters, but at this time, there has been a large amount of hoarding, but for what......?

The butler drank another glass of wine and sighed: "...... We're going to war......"

"Uh. Ye Xiao was silent.

"There is one more important reason...... The cloud-over-raining building has reappeared!" The housekeeper smiled: "In the past three thousand years, the cloud-over-rain building has appeared nine times before and after...... Every time it appears, it leads to the evolution of a change in the situation. A change in the shape of the entire continent!"

"The entire continent will be unified once in this change, and then disappear in the clouds...... At the latest, a hundred years later, the situation of great unification was broken again, and it became a situation of division between the great powers, and then after some conquest, it evolved into several major empires...... Everyone is a rat trap for each other, and they are safe and sound. It's just like the current situation......"

And as long as this equilibrium situation appears, it will not be more than a hundred years, and the clouds and rain will appear again. After the appearance...... Everything starts to go up in price at the same time...... Then war broke out suddenly, and eventually, there will always be one country that rules the world......"

"This time the clouds and rain have appeared, and it is the ninth time. Steward Song's face was finally a little drunk, but his eyes were becoming clearer and clearer: "The ninth time in three thousand years." ”

"So it was. Ye Xiao suddenly realized.

And the white boy, who is extremely mysterious and almost a legendary figure, has also appeared nine times. Every time, it's Bai Gongzi!" The butler finally scolded: "It's not so much a legend as an immortal monster!"

Ye Xiao was stunned.

"So, the grace of the clouds, the show in the sky, is also a character who has been going back and forth for thousands of years, isn't it also a monster?"

"It's a monster too!It's supposed to be a monster!" the butler nodded heavily.

Ye Xiao's heart tightened when he heard this.

Although the housekeeper didn't know, Ye Xiao himself knew: the black-clothed people who came to the Ye family that night were actually the people who turned the clouds and rain!

Could it be that he is going to fight against this group of monsters this time?

If it was the laughing monarch in the past, it would be nothing to a legend, but now, it should be the role reversal, it should be for the clouds and rain building, the current Ye Xiao is really nothing!

Not even an ant may be counted.

"In this way, if there is a real war, the scale will inevitably sweep the world...... Then my father is the general of Zhenbei...... Isn't it the first to bear the brunt?" Ye Xiao asked.

When he said the words 'my father', Ye Xiao did not have any resistance in his heart.

The main thing is that the housekeeper once said something a few days ago: "At the beginning, you were born with a deficiency, and you were seriously injured due to an accident, and your meridians were blocked; In the end, it was His Majesty who claimed that there was an elixir in his hand that could cure you, but the quid pro quo proposed by His Majesty was that he would become a sworn brother with your father and guard the northern frontier for twenty years!"

Ye Xiao is only sixteen years old this year.

In other words, after this father scattered 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 Ye Xiao he used to be, he still empathizes!

Speaking of which, Ye Xiao was an orphan in his previous life, and he has longed for this kind of human affection and parental love for a long time.

This time, I was fortunate to be able to live a new life, and I got the long-awaited family affection, so I naturally cherished it even more.

"Not really. The butler's eyes showed arrogance: "I believe that within the scope of this Cold Sun Continent, there may not be anyone who can threaten the life of the eldest brother! Even if all the people in this world are dead, your father will be alive and sound!"

Ye Xiao's heart jumped when he heard this.

There may not be anyone who can threaten the life of the eldest brother!

Eldest brother!

finally knew where his mistake came from: this Song steward, who had always been a slave in his own family, was actually his father's sworn brother!

It's just that this sworn brother of his, the kind of sworn brother of the emperor, has a completely different meaning!

This time, it was probably because he drank too much wine that he showed a little clue.

Somehow, Ye Xiao felt for a while that the family he was in was actually full of mystery.

Also, why did he have so much confidence in his father? Even if he was a top powerhouse in the realm of Tian Yuan Grandmaster, it was not surprising that he died in such a battle of a million troops, right?

Where does this faith come from?

Could it be that his cheap dad can be higher than this? But if it is really higher, it seems to exceed the limit of the strength of this plane, it doesn't seem to make sense!

The butler seemed to have drunk too much and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Hey...... Drunk, actually drunk, haven't been drunk for a long time...... Your father and my eldest brother used to order me to drink again, but today I am happy...... I just want to have two drinks, laughing boy, don't tell your dad that I've drunk, let alone say I've drunk too much, don't you hear!"

Ye Xiao was stunned when he heard this, I'll take it, people can't be reasonable when they drink too much, they originally regarded themselves as servants, but now it's good, they taught me a lesson in the tone of my elders, what else is "laughing boy", what is this called......

Steward Song's face suddenly appeared with an abnormal flush, and his breathing became heavy, and after coughing a few times in succession, he suddenly coughed violently!

For a long time, he lowered his head, turned his head, and spat out a mouthful of phlegm with a hand towel.

Obviously, he didn't want Ye Xiao to see this scene.

It's a pity that although Ye Xiao's strength is not very good, his eyes are still as sharp as before, at least he has seen a line.

Ye Xiao's pupils couldn't help shrinking.

Purple gold!

The blood that the butler spat out turned out to be purple and golden!
