Chapter 11: Inner Sect and Outer Sect
Liu Hu didn't expect the little girl to be so vigilant and still didn't believe him. He touched Zhiruo's little head and said, "No, uncle will be back soon."
After saying that, he took Luo Fanchen away. When they walked out of the inn, they happened to see A Si who was "in disguise".
At this time, Ah Si was holding a chicken leg in one hand and a sledgehammer in the other. Although he had changed his clothes, his two-meter-tall figure was still very conspicuous among the crowd.
Anyone who has seen him can recognize Ah Si's identity.
Liu Hu didn't bother to care about Ah Si. He just told him to take good care of Lan Xin. If anything happened, send her directly to the water dungeon. Then he took Luo Fanchen to the county government office .
A Si is not like Luo Fanchen. He is not afraid of the punishment in the water dungeon. He is afraid that he will be too bored in the water dungeon without food. Not to mention not eating for a whole day, even skipping a meal would make him nervous, so he quickly ordered his subordinates .
"Tell the shop owner to kick everyone out except the mother and daughter. Give them all the delicious food. Do you understand?"
It is strange to say that, although A Si could not read a single word, Liu Hu actually let A Si be in charge of the business under his command, so these shop owners all thought that A Si was the boss behind the shops.
However, there are some advantages to having A Si managing the business. At the beginning, some shopkeepers saw that A Si was illiterate, so they deliberately tampered with the account books in an attempt to deceive A Si. A Si naturally couldn't see it, but fortunately, when Liu Hu was free, he would look at the account books and point out the problems.
Ah Si was a straightforward person. When he knew that someone was deceiving him, he thought that the other person was just mocking his stupidity. Without saying a word, he hit the shopkeeper with a hammer and sent him to hell in front of everyone.
When other people kill people, it can be said to be bloody, violent, artistic, and beautiful, but when Asi kills people, the only feeling they get is shock.
The huge hammer hit him from head to feet, and even the bones were broken with one blow. I'm afraid even his biological mother wouldn't be able to recognize his identity.
But this time, no one dared to fool this gentleman. Besides, the business under Liu Hu was calculated based on dividends. The shop owners made a lot of money every year, so there was no need to take risks.
Asi stood outside, looking at the people in the inn, his saliva almost dripping down his face. If you didn't know, you would think he was going to go in and eat people.
The people around him were too familiar with him, and they all knew what he was thinking at the moment: "Master, why don't we go in and have something to eat? We are in our own territory, so nothing can go wrong."
Ah Si knew that Lan Xin was important to Liu Hu, but with the food in front of him, he looked at the chicken leg in his hand and then at the inn , "I don't want to eat it, but it's too far away from here. If something happens, I'm afraid it will be too late. It's better to go in. If there is any danger, it will be easier to take action. Let's go in through the back door."
In the distance, Luo Fanchen watched Ah Si lead his men to the back door, and sneered, "This idiot really can't resist temptation."
Liu Hu also smiled. He had earned Ah Si's loyalty by serving one dish after another.
"Do you feel unbalanced when I let Ah Si show up in public?" Liu Hu looked at the Daqian poison doctor in front of him, who was following him at such a young age.
Luo Fanchen could understand the meaning of Liu Hu's words, and shrugged his shoulders and said, "You know me well. No one can tolerate me except you. Besides, I have no family affection, no love, and only brotherhood. Fame and fortune are useless."
Liu Hu also knew something about Luo Fanchen's past. His father wanted to kill him, his brother also wanted to kill him, and his biological mother poisoned him. He was simply a living inspirational villain.
As for love, well, being a Daqian poison doctor sounds good, but after developing a naturally poisonous physique, your whole body is full of poison. How can there be any love? If you are not careful, your partner may be poisoned to death.
Liu Hu patted Luo Fanchen on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't think too much, you will meet him in the future."
"I'm not so lucky, but boss, now that you've left Shangjing, things may change easily there. Besides, I don't think my sister-in-law wants to fall into the whirlpool. She just wants to live a stable life and not waste her time." Luo Fanchen expressed his concerns.
Liu Hu also understood Luo Fanchen's concerns and said quietly, "I don't plan to move up, why do you think that is?"
"Of course, there is resistance from the Prime Minister in the court." Luo Fanchen said without thinking.
Liu Hu shook his head. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao used the emperor to control the princes. He was only one step away from the throne, but he never became emperor until his death. It was not that Cao Cao did not want to, but that the time was not ripe.
Liu Hu has also thought about the throne, but the time is still not ripe!
"The prime minister is just a mere figure. It's not enough to be used as evidence."
"Why is that?" If it wasn't for the prime minister, Luo Fanchen really couldn't think of anything else that could stop Liu Hu from becoming emperor.
Liu Hu looked around and found that there were no people around. He continued, "It's easy to take the throne, but it's hard to keep it."
"The Xiao family has been in charge of the Daqian Empire since its founding. If I were to take over, the people across the country would not agree. Then, people from all over the country would rise up in rebellion, and there would be four other countries watching covetously. It would be easy for internal and external troubles to come."
"By then, I will have no name to fight for, and the people will not be determined to die. How can I resist the enemy? To put it bluntly, I lack a name, a name that the world can believe in."
Luo Fanchen didn't think too much about it. He just thought that with the military power in his hands, the emperor was completely marginalized and could be completely replaced. He didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns.
"Then do we have no chance?" Luo Fanchen was somewhat unwilling. The emperor was just a pig of good birth. He was unwilling to let a pig sit on the throne.
How could Liu Hu give up so easily ? Now that he had found his daughter, he explained, "I left Shangjing just to let those who opposed me see that they were thinking about how to eliminate me every day. Now that I'm gone, who will protect the country?"
In recent years, especially in the past year, there have been two voices in the capital. One is that Liu Hu has made great contributions and deserves to be rewarded, and the position of Grand Tutor is still too low. The other is that Liu Hu is like a tiger or a wolf around the emperor.
As long as Liu Hu is not removed, Daqian will not be prosperous.
Now that I am leaving Shangjing, I want to let those who oppose me see how that idiot can govern the country if I leave the emperor.
Luo Fanchen also understood what Liu Hu meant. He whistled, and then a man in green clothes with a crescent-shaped scimitar on his waist flashed to Luo Fanchen's side, handed Luo Fanchen a note, and then flashed away.
Liu Hu couldn't practice martial arts, and he was a rare loser with no talent at all. However, this did not reduce his pursuit of martial arts. Looking at the disappearing figure of the Qingyi Guard, he asked with some envy: "Who is better at martial arts, you or Ah Si?"
"It's hard to say, it should be him." Luo Fanchen didn't know how to answer him. After all, he was practicing internal skills, while Asi was practicing external skills. Under normal circumstances, internal skills are stronger than external skills, but it is also a prerequisite for the same level of cultivation.
And Ah Si had already practiced to the eighth level of the outer sect, so ordinary hidden weapons could not harm him. Besides, no matter how good his martial arts were, it could not be said that he was strong enough to stay away from others.
A person who has practiced the fifth level of outer sect and has the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt happens to meet a person who has practiced the third level of inner sect and can use the Yin Wind Cone. When the two of them come into contact with each other, the Yin Wind Cone will be better than the Golden Bell Cover. Does this mean that the fifth level is inferior to the third level?
Only an outsider would ask who is good and who is not. Of course, he didn't dare to say this to Liu Hu.
