"Where did you start?" Li Dingxian, who was sitting beside everyone and had a table with his father, stood up and asked with deep eyes.

His tone was somewhat anxious. Probably because of his father, Li Dingxian had been immersed in this world since he was young. He had always had the awareness that this world was a family matter.

However, because of the Emperor Clan, although it was good to be unfair, he had forgotten to care about the feelings of others.

His attitude and tone made the Qian couple alert. Their expressions changed as they looked at the crowd with vigilance in their eyes. They asked in a slightly panicked tone, "Who are you?"

Seeing this, Xu Han furrowed his brows. He was about to find out about this but was disturbed by Li Dingxian's words, which made the couple vigilant. Naturally, he was unhappy.

However, Li Dingxian remained unaware of this. He continued, "Don't worry, both of you. We are not evil, but.."

However, Li Dingxian's explanation did not relax the vigilance in the couple's hearts. Instead, Manager Qian interrupted Li Dingxian without waiting for him to finish his sentence. His tone was unconsciously a little higher than before, "I don't care who you are. This meal is almost over. Please leave quickly." Our husband and wife are just ordinary people and don't want to cause trouble. "

Li Dingxian probably didn't expect that his inquiry would attract such a big reaction from the two of them. He was a little puzzled and couldn't help but say, "Since you two know something about Jing Zhou, why don't you tell us? If there is any difficulty, perhaps we can help you two one or two?"

Li Dingxian's words were quite pertinent, but the Qian couple were obviously frightened by Li Dingxian's attitude. At this moment, they were like birds startled by bows, unable to listen to what Li Dingxian said.

"We don't know anything. Please leave." Shopkeeper Qian was a little excited. He walked forward and pulled on Li Dingxian's clothes to push him out of the room.

Li Dingxian, who was the Little Prince, had never encountered such a thing in his life. He didn't know how to deal with it for a moment, and a well-behaved Mortal Realm expert was pushed to the door by this ordinary citizen.

Seeing that he was about to be pushed out of the door, at this moment.

Dong!

Dong!

Suddenly, a hurried knock came from outside the door.

Through the white paper window, several figures in armor could be vaguely seen gathering outside the door.

"Qian, open the door!" A loud and thick shout came from outside the door. It was obvious that the person who came was unkind.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Qian was about to push Li Dingxian out of the door, his expression changed. He hurriedly stopped what he was doing and then turned to look at his wife.

Mrs. Qian was also a smart person, and she quickly reacted.

"This way! This way! If they find out, it's over. You guys just hide inside and don't make a sound." As she said this, she pulled the crowd together again and led Xu Han and the others into the kitchen behind her.

Seeing this, everyone followed Madam Qian into the kitchen. When everyone entered, Madam Qian pulled on the kitchen cloth and confirmed that she could not see the situation in the kitchen from the main room. Only then did they feel relieved.

Then, she winked at Shopkeeper Qian, who was somewhat flustered at the door, and the other party opened the door.

..

The people hiding in the not-so-spacious kitchen looked at each other in puzzlement.

"Why did it take so long to open the door?" At this moment, a rough voice came from the room. It seemed that the person knocking on the door had already entered the room.

"The little one and the lowly one are busy working in the inner room. Let the lord wait." Shopkeeper Qian's voice rang out as well. From his timid tone, it wasn't hard to tell how fearful this shopkeeper was towards the person who entered the room.

Hearing Xu Han's calm glance at the people in the room, he carefully walked to the kitchen door and looked outside through the cracks in the curtain cloth.

He saw seven tall men in black armor pacing back and forth in the main room with arrogant expressions, while the Qian couple lowered their heads and eyebrows, carefully responding to the questions of the guards, fearing that they would be neglected in the slightest.

"Is that so?" The middle-aged man in the lead had a bearded face. He said this and then walked to the wooden table in the main room that was full of dishes before he could tidy it up.

"That's right, that's right. Otherwise, even if we borrow a hundred guts, we wouldn't dare to neglect Lord Lu." Mrs. Qian said with a smile.

Lord Lu narrowed his eyes and looked at the bowls and chopsticks on the table. Then, he asked meaningfully, "Why? There are guests?"

Shopkeeper Qian nodded repeatedly and said, "I just left."

"Oh." Lord Lu touched the dishes and asked, "Look at the temperature. Why didn't we see it when our brothers came?"

When this question was asked, Shopkeeper Qian's head was covered in sweat.

He stood there and stammered for a long time, but he couldn't say why. He watched as the suspicion in the military master's eyes grew heavier and heavier.

"Master Jun, what are you talking about? We're just a restaurant. If the guests come, they'll eat. If they eat, they'll leave. How can we ask them where they're going? Maybe we missed them on the way here." Mrs. Qian, who was at the side, was also clever. Seeing that her husband was panicking, she hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Right, right, right. Don't make things difficult for us, Military Master." Shopkeeper Qian hurriedly echoed.

"It's not difficult for you?" Hearing this, the man surnamed Lu raised his eyebrows and his entire face suddenly collapsed. He reached out and slapped the table. The dishes on the table trembled. He angrily said, "Someone Lu has always acted fairly. People respect me three times. I respect others one foot. Do you dare to bully me?"

After saying this, the Qian couple's face immediately turned pale from fear. The two of them quickly knelt down and said, "What does Your Excellency mean?"

When the people in the room heard this, they all thought that the military master had discovered their existence, and their faces immediately turned cold. Su Mu'an , this little fellow, even drew the long saber at his waist by three points. If it weren't for Xu Han stopping him, he would have already bullied him.

"What do you mean? Don't you understand?" "I took someone to check your household registration yesterday. You two clearly have a son under your knees, but you didn't report it!" The military master surnamed Lu shouted coldly.

"His Majesty the Emperor has already issued an imperial decree. All males over ten years of age and under twenty years of age are required to enter the Sacred Palace, receive Sacred Energy, and forge Sacred Weapons! You two are guilty of deceiving the Sovereign by acting like this!"

The Qian couple were just ordinary people. The crime of bullying the monarch pressed on their heads, causing their faces to immediately turn pale and their bodies to become limp.

The military master surnamed Lu was obviously accustomed to this matter. He coldly snorted and said, "Go and search for me!"

Hearing this, the six soldiers behind them responded and walked towards the inner room.

Seeing this, the Qian Clan couple, who had clearly been frightened to the point of splitting their gallbladder, had the strength to kneel on the ground and crawl on the way to the soldiers. They said, "Master Jun, please do us a favor. This is our only son. He is only ten years old!"

But the response to this plea was a cold scram.

The soldiers still rushed into the door behind the restaurant, and a rumbling sound came from inside the room.

The gazes of the people hiding in the kitchen instantly turned angry.

"You said that the Dark Asura Palace is behind the Chu Kingdom?" At this moment, Liu Sheng, who had never spoken much along the way, suddenly looked at Xu Han and asked softly.

Xu Han, who did not understand why he would ask this question at this moment, nodded at Liu Sheng after a slight hesitation.

'"Then they catch these children" Liu Sheng added.

But before he could finish his question this time, Xu Han nodded again.

Liu Sheng, who had some experience, naturally understood that there was no problem with his guess.

On the other side, the Qian Clan couple who could not stop the guards from rushing into the inner room could only kneel at Lord Lu's feet. They kowtowed and cried as they pleaded with him.

However, this method obviously couldn't make the other party feel any sympathy. The military master surnamed Lu sat there leisurely, eating the dishes that Xu Han and the others hadn't eaten yet with a satisfied expression, as if he was enjoying this feeling very much.

Within a quarter of an hour, the soldiers who had left returned from the inner room. Two of them had a skinny ten-year-old child in their hands.

The child was obviously the son of the Qian couple. Seeing that their child was dragged out, the two of them panicked. They hurriedly stepped forward and tried to snatch their child from the hands of the guards. However, they were not the opponents of the guards. They were kicked to the ground by the guards in just one meeting.

"Father! Mother!" The child was already frightened out of his mind by the sudden influx of soldiers. Seeing his parents being beaten, he was even more panicked. He immediately let out a cry of alarm and tears kept flowing down his cheeks.

"Military Master! Let my Xiu'er go! Our husband and wife will definitely repay your kindness." The couple ignored their injuries and quickly stood up. They hurriedly came to Lord Lu and said while kowtowing.

But Lord Lu only put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and slowly stood up, "The crime of bullying a monarch is to kill the head. Someone Lu is a reasonable person. I don't want to make things difficult for you, but if I don't take this child away, I will kill my head."

With that, he kicked the couple away and said to the guard behind him, "Let's go!"

After saying this, he took a step forward and was about to walk out of the room.

"What should we do? Are we just watching them capture this child?" Fang Ziyu, who was hiding in the kitchen, frowned when he saw this and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Xu Han turned his head to look at the people with angry faces. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but before he could say anything..

Purple Qi surged around Liu Sheng beside him. Before he could regain his senses in the next moment, Liu Sheng's body was killed at that moment.

A streak of purple light flashed through the crowd, and the bodies of the guards froze in place as if they were heavily injured. After a few breaths, Liu Sheng walked to the front of the Qian couple with the safe and sound little boy in his arms.

Pu! Pu!

Several soft sounds rose behind Liu Sheng, and streaks of blood gushed out from the necks of the soldiers. At that time, their bodies fell to the ground.

Amidst the bloody light, Liu Sheng knelt down on one knee in front of the Qian couple. He extended his hand and handed the child over to the two couples. A rare smile appeared on his cold face.

He looked at the dumbstruck couple and said, "It's okay."
