"Thank you for your concern, but I believe this outsider will not do such a thing, please rest assured."
"Grandpa! How can you be so careless? He almost killed Brother Gelu just now, so you can't let you chat with him alone." Tian Ai said worriedly, shaking the old man's arm.
"Tian'ai, it's okay, let me chat with this guest who came from afar." The old man patted Tian'ai's little hand and said kindly.
The old man is well-informed, and he knows that Ling Xiaocheng could kill Gru just now, but he gave up in the end, which only shows that the other party really wants to chat with him.
The old man made a gesture of invitation, led Ling Xiaocheng into a room, and closed the door casually, so that Tianai, who wanted to sneak in and listen, puffed up her pretty face and stamped her feet unhappily on the spot.
Ling Xiaocheng looked at it at a glance, and there were simple items in the small space, and there were no extravagant things at all.
"Outsiders, please don't mind, our tribe is struggling to survive and there is nothing to entertain you." The old man poured a glass of water from the dilapidated kettle and handed it to Ling Xiaocheng.
After Ling Xiaocheng took the water, he didn't drink it, but asked directly: "What is your purpose of invading the empire?"
The old man was taken aback. He really is from the empire. He stroked his white beard and said calmly, "To survive."
"Survive?"
"That's right." The old man raised his head slightly melancholy and drank a glass of water: "Our tribe has lived in the western interior for a long time, far away from the eastern ocean."
"In addition to this hot and dry climate, food and water sources are extremely scarce, so we have to invade as a last resort."
"Then why did you choose to invade at this time?"
The old man put down his water glass, looked directly into Ling Xiaocheng's eyes, and said solemnly.
"Since the current emperor came to power in your empire, the people have been miserable, corrupt and incompetent, and the soldiers and generals have become weaker and weaker than each other except for those few. They don't have the glory of the previous majesty at all. If you don't attack at this time, when will you wait!"
The old man's tone was full of determination, he was not afraid that Ling Xiaocheng would know the reason for the aggression, because he wanted to arouse his conscience, and it was best to let them go.
The old man knew very well that none of them was Ling Xiaocheng's opponent, even if they fought to the death, both sides would suffer, so it was better to find a way to let him leave.
However, the old man is not someone who just sits and waits to be killed. He holds a small knife hidden under the table in his hand, ready to fight back at any time.
Ling Xiaocheng was silent for a while, then clapped his hands and praised.
"Good good!"
The old man thought that Ling Xiaocheng's conscience had been aroused, and when he was about to further persuade him to leave here, he was astonished by his next words like a thunderbolt.
"Then, if you help me regain the throne, I promise you a green land to the east for your family to survive, is that okay?"
"The throne?"
Ling Xiaocheng slowly took off the mask, and the old man suddenly turned pale with shock, as if he saw someone who shouldn't exist.
We chatted for a long time.
Ling Xiaocheng slowly left here under the strange eyes of everyone.
"Grandpa, what did you talk to him about? Why did you just let him go?" Tian Ai asked puzzledly from the side.
Looking at Ling Xiaocheng's leaving back, the old man's eyes burst into light, and he murmured.
"If it is true, then the world will be in chaos, and the empire will...reorganize."

Chapter 54 "Laver Soup"
Night raid headquarters.
"Ling Xiaocheng, where have you been? No matter, come and help me bring this dish." Horikita Suzune, wearing an apron, shouted to Ling Xiaocheng outside the door in the kitchen.
As soon as he came back, Ling Xiaocheng received the news from Shuizhen that Horikita Suzune wanted to cook a meal for them in order to thank them for taking care of them after recovering from a cold.
But Ling Xiaocheng looked at the color and felt a little weird. White bubbles came out of the tumbling purple liquid, and there was a black suspended matter floating around on it.
"You cooked this?" Ling Xiaocheng was a little puzzled, could this really be cooked by humans?
"Of course! I cooked it step by step according to the steps in the book, how is it?" Horikita Suzune pushed back her hair and asked confidently.
Ling Xiaocheng did not speak, and silently brought this "magical" dish outside.
Horikita Suzune froze for a moment, then shook his head secretly, it seems that my first time cooking left him speechless, he was so shocked that he really has a talent for cooking.
"Ling Xiaocheng, what is this...?" Ma Yin touched the dish with her chopsticks uncertainly.
"Huh...?" Ling Xiaocheng couldn't tell, because he had never seen such a magical appearance, and he was a little curious about what kind of book could have such a strange way.
Horikita Suzune stood behind and quickly bowed and said, "This is the seaweed soup that I cooked myself. I would like to thank everyone for your care during this time. Please forgive me for the first time cooking."
"Laver soup?!"
"This is seaweed soup?!" Everyone was very surprised, this unknown thing turned out to be seaweed soup.
"Horikita Suzune, this...why is it purple?" Leonai asked in confusion.
"Oh, this is because the seaweed soup used to be too ordinary. I think the seaweed soup should be purple, so I added some purple vegetables to make it purple. How about it? It's much better than ordinary seaweed soup. .”
Everyone felt that their common sense was frantically rubbed against the ground by the "seaweed soup", and dazzling sparks appeared.
Do you have any misunderstanding about seaweed soup?
Who said seaweed soup must be purple!
Sure enough...I want me to think, not you...
"Hey, isn't this pretty good." Hill smiled while holding his glasses frame.
Everyone complained silently in their hearts, you, a natural idiot, have no right to express opinions.
Brand picked up the black object suspended above with his chopsticks, and looked carefully. It was indeed seaweed, but he was very speechless, what kind of cooking skills could make the seaweed so hard.
Shouldn't this thing be cooked softer and softer?
Or is it that I didn’t eat seaweed before...
"This is cooked by the beautiful woman Horikita Suzune. You can't deny it because of its mediocre appearance. You have to try it anyway."
This is something cooked by the beautiful girl Horikita Suzune, how could it be bad!
There must be something wrong with my goddamn retina!The things cooked by the beauties must be as beautiful and delicious as they are!
With his firm belief, Lubbock shook a spoonful of the soup, and the purple liquid seemed to be a demon beckoning to him, but who is Lubbock!How could Horikita be sad because of a small difficulty!
He must die, no!Holding the obsession with the delicious food, I raised my head and poured it down.
"It's actually quite delicious. This soup is delicious and unique, but I feel...a little drunk..." Lubbock foamed at the mouth as he spoke, and finally fell down on the table with black eyes .
