After being invincible in martial arts, I travel through the strange world

Chapter 8 Father, You Should Be Old
Dayan Imperial City, Luodu.

The streets in the morning are crowded with people.

Lu Xingzhou pushed through the crowd, took Lu Qingying to a small stall, and shouted skillfully:

"Old Yang, here are two bowls of fried noodles and three catties of stewed beef."

The stall owner is an old man in his 60s with gray temples.

Seeing Lu Xingzhou, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile:

"Yo! It's Master Lu."

"You haven't been here for half a year, why did you go?"

Although Lu Xingzhou was older than him, he looked younger, looking like a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s.

He sat upright, brushed off the dust on the table, and said:

"It's nothing, I went around outside the imperial city."

"No, your oil-splashed noodles are the most authentic, and I'll eat them as soon as I come back."

Hearing Lu Xingzhou's praise, the stall owner was very helpful, and his old face burst into smiles.

"Haha! Just based on your words, Master Lu, I will give you two taels of beef."

"You wait, it will be here in a while."

After all, he got busy.

……

"Father, do you often come to this kind of place?"

It was the first time that Lu Qingying saw Lu Xingzhou in this state.

No pretensions, perfectly integrated into the market.

She couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Ah."

Lu Xingzhou replied casually, sizing up the passers-by and listening to their conversation.

In the eyes of his subordinates, he is a superior, powerful and terrifying existence.

In fact, Lu Xingzhou is a casual person and doesn't like to put on airs.

In the eyes of the stall owner, he is probably an ordinary person with a little wealth.

"Father, why are we here?"

Lu Qingying was a little puzzled.

They rushed back to the imperial city non-stop, and as a result, Lu Xingzhou came here as soon as they came back.

Due to the previous assassination incident, Lu Qingying also followed.

"It's easier to understand the changes in the general situation in this kind of city and street."

Lu Xingzhou explained, but didn't say much.

Soon, the owner of the stall brought two steaming bowls of oily noodles and a bowl of stewed beef.

"Noodles here! Master Lu, take your time."

Lu Xingzhou picked up the chopsticks and took a big bite, nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile:

"It still tastes the same, it's so delicious!"

"By the way, Lao Yang, your business seems to be much worse than it was half a year ago."

Lu Xingzhou glanced at the sparse booths casually, and said casually.

Hearing this, the stall owner Lao Yang sighed, waved his old hand, and said helplessly:
"Don't mention it, the past six months have been difficult!"

"There is a rebellion in the northwest, and it has not been suppressed yet."

"There was a severe drought in Wuyuan County, and the imperial court delayed the rescue for three or four months. I don't know how many people will starve to death."

"I heard that there is a lot of quarrel in the hall now, and those high-ranking officials who are fighting are just not doing business."

"Don't look at the number of people on this street. Many of them are immigrants from other places. They are better than refugees. How can they have money to eat and drink?"

"Seeing that the situation is not good, everyone is tightening their belts to live."

"This business is getting harder and harder!"

At the end, the stall owner leaned in front of Lu Xingzhou and said in a low voice:
"Although the current emperor is a man, his talent is far inferior to that of the previous emperor!"

"This lady, I'm afraid I can't sit still."

Hearing this, Lu Xingzhou's eyes narrowed, and he pretended to be surprised and asked:
"Even if the ability is slightly inferior, it's more than that?"

The stall owner smiled triumphantly and said:
"Master Lu, you have been away for a while, and some news is not normal."

"It is said that a powerful prince has come and wants to take his place!"

Speaking of which, a new customer came to the stall.

Seeing this, the stall owner immediately got up to greet him, and said to Lu Xingzhou before leaving:
"Master Lu, while you're eating, I'll go first."

After all, a new round of busy work began.

Seeing his busy figure, Gu Qingying's eyes flickered slightly, and said softly:

"Even ordinary people know about such rumors. It seems that the position of the new emperor is indeed unstable."

Lu Xingzhou smiled and didn't speak, just ate big mouthfuls.

Emperor Xuanyue did a series of major events during his reign, which had a profound impact on Dayan.

On the other hand, Emperor Kang Yuan was far inferior in talent.

Ten years after he took office, some people still call him the new emperor, which shows how low his influence is.

At that time, as long as Lu Xingzhou wanted to, he could take him off the ground.

But today's Lu Xingzhou has no interest in power.

He returned to the imperial city just to find out the truth.

…………

After breakfast, Lu Xingzhou brought Lu Qingying to a teahouse, ready to drink some tea and listen to some music.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, an unexpected guest came.

A burly man appeared at the door of the teahouse with a team of people, and the originally lively teahouse became quiet in an instant.

He strode in and said coldly:
"The dragon guards are doing business, and the idlers are all back!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and ran outside in a panic.

Even the shopkeeper and waiter in the teahouse retreated to the back room, not daring to show their faces.

Only Lu Xingzhou's expression remained unchanged, he sipped his tea as if no one else was around.

Lu Qingying stared at the visitor with a solemn expression, her whole body tensed.

This burly man had been her colleague.

This person's name is Xiong Huang, and his original place number is No. [-].

After Lu Xingzhou gave up all his power, except for Lu Qingying who continued to follow him, the leaders of the other three veins stayed in the imperial city.

They took advantage of the trend to carve up Ye Bugui and formed their own forces.

Since then, the night does not return to three points, turning into three major forces.

Xiong Huang, the No. [-] land character, formed a force called Dragon Guardian.

Hearing the name, he knew that he was on the side of Xindi.

Although they were once the leaders of the same lineage, Gu Qingying was a generation behind Xiong Huang, and was the No. [-] Xuanzi of the new generation.

She is 28 years old this year. She just entered the Body Tempering Realm two years ago, and her strength is on the rise.

Xiong Huang is 48 years old and has entered the Body Tempering Realm for 20 years, at the peak of his strength.

His cultivation base was also the same as Lu Xingzhou's, in the realm of muscle training.

Even in the same realm, the strength of warriors will vary greatly.

Lu Xingzhou had beheaded many masters of the same realm back then.

Not to mention a small realm difference.

Looking at the world, Xiong Huang is also a well-deserved top master, while Lu Qingying is far behind.

Seeing his aggressive approach, Lu Qingying was naturally a little nervous.

But seeing Lu Xingzhou's indifferent face, she couldn't help but relax a little.

……

Soon, the teahouse became empty, only a few of them were left.

The outside was also guarded by the dragon guards layer by layer, let alone coming in, no one could come close.

Xiong Huang went straight to Lu Xingzhou, sat down in a big way, looked at him and said:
"Father, why did you go back to the imperial city?"

Xiong Huang's voice was so loud that it made people's ears numb.

Lu Xingzhou glanced at him with a half-smile, and said:

"Come back and have a look. What, you're not welcome?"

Hearing this, Xiong Huang took a deep look at Lu Xingzhou, and said in a deep voice:
"Father, you shouldn't come back."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xingzhou's face turned cold, and a fierce aura emanated.

He stared at Xiong Akira and scolded:

"When will it be your turn to teach me how to do things?!"

Hearing this, the veins on Xiong Huang's forehead twitched, and his two big hands were tightly grasping the corner of the table.

For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely dignified!
But Xiong Akira didn't move.

After a moment of silence, he stood up and strode outside.

When he walked to the door of the teahouse, Xiong Huang turned his head to look at Lu Xingzhou, and said coldly:
"Father, you should be old."

"The current imperial city is not where you should come."

After that, he was ready to leave.
