"Sir, look at how you're dressed, you're a big shot from Kyoto, right? It's really not easy to come here from Kyoto these days."
Xia Po was currently sitting in a private room of a guest house. Although he had arrived at Xia Wangong's small kingdom, he did not know the specific location of the other party.
Still have to inquire.
"Well, he's from Kyoto. He's not a big shot, he's just a nobody."
Xia Po smiled and was noncommittal.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Xia Po is modest, because although his clothes are not very luxurious, they are very new and very clean.
In today's world, people who can wear clothes that look like dogs are not ordinary people, let alone someone like him.
After hearing this, the waiter stopped asking questions. Instead, he smiled, placed the last dish on Xia Po's table and prepared to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute, I want to ask you something."
Xia Po called the waiter to come to him.
"I heard that this great country has a new king. I want to find out..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the waiter looking at him in surprise and taking two steps back.
Seeing this, Xia Po just continued to smile, and then he accidentally took out a silver ingot.
"I'm just curious about who the new king is. I don't have any other intentions."
Seeing this silver ingot, the man couldn't walk immediately. After thinking about it for a second, he immediately put on a smile and accepted the silver.
Then he looked around to make sure there was no one else in the box, then put his mouth to Xia Po's ear and whispered softly.
"Now our king's surname is Xia, and he is the famous Xia family in Kyoto City!"
As the guy spoke, he made an exaggerated expression.
"The Xia family is very thoughtful. Before our late king became king, a member of the Xia family married the late king's daughter.
The late king has always been kind to the Xia family, but who knew that this Xia family is actually..."
This guy couldn't stop talking once he started talking. In the end, he sat next to Xia Po and talked endlessly about the Xia family's rebellion.
In the end, if other guys hadn't come over to call him, he might have been able to talk until the evening.
But even before he finished speaking, Xia Po also knew something.
First of all, the reputation of the Xia family is really not good!
This can be seen from this guy's evaluation of Xia Po.
Every time when the Xia family is mentioned, the adjectives used are nothing more than derogatory terms such as evil-minded, sinister, disloyal, and untrustworthy.
The reason why people like this guy have such a bad opinion of the Xia family, Xia Po feels, is not because the Xia family seeks power and usurps the throne.
Because the waiter did not have a very good opinion of the late king. It seemed that the late king broke away from the Tianyuan Dynasty privately regardless of the opinions of the people.
Although the Tianyuan Dynasty has declined, it is still the Tianyuan Dynasty, and its influence cannot be lost so quickly.
As a result, the people here suddenly changed from the noble Tianyuan Dynasty people to the people of a small country. Who can bear this?
Therefore, the biggest reason why Xia Jiafeng's reputation is so poor is probably the increase in taxes.
He also wrote in the letter to Xia Po that although he became a royal family, it was very difficult. He was probably short of money, so he resorted to squeezing the people to get money.
In this regard, Xia Po could only shake his head.
Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. This has been the case since ancient times, so this is definitely an extremely stupid method.
On the other hand, the kingdom managed by the Zuo family, although it was bloodbathed by the foreign army, was very poor.
However, Liu Ren, who had been an emperor since elementary school, and the Zuo family, who had been working in important positions in the court, were obviously more playful and did not rush, but chose a policy of rest and recuperation.
Now after so many years, the facts have proved that the Zuo family and the lying prince were right.
The national power of their kingdom not only increased rapidly, but also annexed some small surrounding countries. Looking at the entire land of the Tianyuan Dynasty, their country was the only one that could compare with the Tianyuan Dynasty.
As for the Tianyuan Dynasty...
It's completely rotten, rotten to the core.
The most risky profession now is not being a soldier on the battlefield, but working within the imperial court.
Because now in the Tianyuan Dynasty, you kill me, I kill him, he kills me, and the cycle continues. If you want to live a reincarnation in this cycle, it is simply harder than climbing to the sky.
If the Tianyuan Dynasty is compared to a person, Liu Yuan just let this person's body rot.
Then those ministers exhausted the man's spirit, and now even his soul has gradually turned into decay.
He also understood Xia Wangong's location. He was in the capital of this country, not far from here.
He was thinking about what he had and what he didn't have while eating, but as he was eating, he noticed a lot of people coming outside the guest house.
Listen carefully, there is another person talking.
"Master Jun, that person is in the Tianfo Le box upstairs."
Hearing this, Xia Po couldn't help but look at the name of his box.
I saw three words written on the dilapidated door, Tianfo Le.
"Who are these people?"
Obviously, these people came to find him, but Xia Po did not run away, because in his eyes, these people who were not good at martial arts were nothing more than ants.
Do you care about a swarm of ants while eating?
Definitely not, and neither would Xia Po, even though these ants were here to find him.
There are about a dozen of these people, the strongest one is from the early stage of acquired life, and the rest are ordinary people.
They quickly arrived at the door of Xia Po's box and kicked the door open.
In response, Xia Po just put down his bowls and chopsticks impatiently.
"Don't you know etiquette? Is it okay to knock on the door? Also, I won't pay for this door."
After hearing Xia Po's words, these soldiers were obviously stunned.
Then the leader walked up to Xia Po, touched the weapon on his waist with his right hand and asked.
"Is it you who keeps asking about our king?"
Xia Po didn't even look at him, he just took a sip of wine and said with a smile.
"What? Your Majesty can't even ask questions?"
The soldier's face twitched obviously, and then he waved.
"Take away this guy who is suspected of being a spy from the Tianyuan Dynasty!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers behind him wanted to take Xia Po away by force.
Despite this, Xia Po still drank wine leisurely and had no intention of paying attention to these people.
The soldiers would not stop their actions because of his unreasonable behavior. They all walked towards Xia Po eagerly.
But just as they were about to grab Xia Po's arm, a powerful aura instantly shook them away.
After entering the True Martial Realm, Xia Po has become extremely proficient in the use of True Qi.
I just used my true energy to knock away a few people, but it did not harm the surrounding tables, chairs, or benches, and even the food on the table was not affected at all.
He can still continue to drink.
The few people who were knocked away immediately fell to the ground motionless. They probably had concussions and couldn't wake up for a while.
The remaining soldier leader looked at Xia Po in disbelief.
"Release your true energy, are you a person with innate inner strength?"
Xiantian, this is an absolute first-class master in the mortal world, no matter which country or dynasty he is in, there will be no exception.
In this small country, no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to find a few decent innate masters.
Xia Po's mere display of his innate strength was enough to frighten the little soldier.
If he knew that Xia Po was in the True Martial Realm and a strong martial artist, he would probably be scared to death on the spot.
Seeing Xia Po slowly raise his head and look towards him unkindly, the soldier leader knelt on the ground numbly.
"My hero! Spare my life, my hero! I am obsessed with money, and I saw how well you dressed, hero, so I had a wrong idea."
As expected, the other party came to him not to suspect that Xia Po was some sort of spy.
If they really suspected that Xia Po was a spy from the Tianyuan Dynasty, they would not dare to catch him.
Just like now, Xia Po showed his strength, proving that Xia Po was not an ordinary person, and was probably a spy or something. The little soldier immediately became intimidated.
After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Now this small country is far from being able to challenge the Tianyuan Dynasty.
In the final analysis, I just saw that Xia Po was easy to bully and wanted to make some money to spend.
