Li Fei was unhappy, like an ant on a hot pot, anxious.
"You don't know what it's like outside. The Liang Kingdom invades the north, the plague is rampant in the south county, and there are only a few thousand old and weak people in the city. The Liang Kingdom is about to invade the heart of our great merchants!"
Zhao Rui placed the processed rabbit on the fire.
"I have confidence in General Bai, and with Lord Sima's backing, Liang will not be able to break through our southern gate for a while."
The old man suddenly became interested: "You baby seems to have a high status in Dashang. It seems that you can exercise power on behalf of the emperor."
Zhao Rui didn't expect that the old man could roughly guess his identity in just a few words.
"Since I'm trapped here with the seniors, I won't hide it. I am a close official of Emperor Shang!"
"Minister!" The old man suddenly turned pale with fright, and immediately threw his sleeves out, tying Zhao Rui's pulse.
After a while, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you kidding me? You're obviously not a eunuch, so how can you say you're a close minister? Besides, my pills are extremely powerful medicine. If the eunuch takes it, he will die violently within a day.
"
Zhao Rui laughed twice.
"This junior is indeed a close minister of Emperor Shang, but his identity is somewhat special and has not been made public by Emperor Shang yet."
The old man looked Zhao Rui up and down: "A person who is not a eunuch can walk in the palace, but was deliberately hidden by Emperor Shang. It seems that your identity is by no means ordinary, at least you are a prince or noble."
Zhao Rui did not hide anything: "Senior's guess is right, I am the only surviving prince of the original Northern Zhao Kingdom."
The old man's body couldn't help but tremble.
"Bei Zhao Kingdom! Speaking of which, there is some connection between us. If I gave you the pill, it can be regarded as my old man's repayment of a great favor!"
Zhao Rui was immediately overjoyed.
Originally, he didn't plan to tell the old man these things. Such an extraordinary old man might come from a wealthy family.
But the identity of the eunuch is a bit unsatisfactory. The only thing he can use now is the identity of Prince of Northern Zhao that Murong Bing forced on him.
Who knew that this old man had some connection with the Northern Zhao Kingdom.
Zhao Rui immediately answered: "Dare you ask me your surname, senior?"
The smile on the old man's face disappeared immediately, and there was even a bit of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Since you are the surviving prince of Northern Zhao Kingdom, I won't hide it from you. In fact, I was once the lord of Dongliang."
Upon hearing this, Li Fei immediately pulled out the Hengdao. After all, she and Zhao Rui were forced here by people from the Dongliang Kingdom.
"Girl, don't be nervous!" The old man moved his body: "My hands and feet were broken sixty years ago and I was thrown under this cliff. The current Dongliang Kingdom has nothing to do with me."
Li Fei then put down her guard and put away the horizontal sword.
Zhao Ruique was shocked: "Sixty years ago? Dare you ask the old man how long he lived?"
The old man sighed: "If I really count, I'm probably over one hundred and twenty years old!"
Zhao Rui and Li Fei were stunned at the same time, with faces full of horror.
How could an old man with severed arms and legs and all the meridians and bones in his body be able to live for such a long time!
Li Fei seemed to have thought of something and immediately approached the old man.
"Could it be that you are the world-famous King Jing of Dongliang sixty years ago?"
The old man was slightly in a daze: "Jingtian? Is that the posthumous title given to me by Emperor Shang?"
