"What's the point?" Liu Lao Er looked back at Fu Yunchen.
"You should ask the leader about this. We brothers followed you, even though we were outlaws, we always dreamed of one day shedding our banditry, bringing glory to our family, and dying without shame before our ancestors. But the leader clearly had the chance to sit on the dragon throne, yet he gave it up because of a dead woman. What do you mean... that without an empress, he didn't want to become emperor? Listen to this absurd nonsense, how can we brothers believe it? If you're only fighting for a woman, then don't blame us for leaving you."
"Second brother! So that's what you were thinking?" Qiao Dongzi looked at him.
"Aren't you one?" Liu Lao Er scoffed.
Qiao Dongzi replied, “You’ve changed. You’ve forgotten that in the beginning, we followed the leader so that our families could have a peaceful meal, our wives and children could sleep soundly, and the people in the village could live in peace and prosperity. The leader has never broken his promise. The vast Chongyang Prefecture is the peaceful land he gave us. He doesn’t collect exorbitant taxes or conscript soldiers. People from all over the world flock here. In recent years, how many more people have come to Chongyang Prefecture? Bianyun Village is no longer just a bandit village. So many people are desperate to get into the village. Can’t you see any of this?”
Fu Yunchen looked at Liu Lao Er and asked, "You're still alive, but what about Xiao Cao?"
Liu Lao Er suddenly burst into laughter.
Fu Yunchen's expression changed slightly. "She's at Chongyang Mountain!"
"Yes! She even attended your ceremony. Does that bride know that she's just a substitute for someone else in your heart?"
"Dongzi, if you go easy on him again this time, you'll be guilty of the same crime!" Fu Yunchen held his sword, his face instantly turning as cold as ice, his bloodthirsty killing intent surging. In the end, he didn't even glance at Liu Lao Er before turning and leaving.
Qiao Dongzi sighed and said to Liu Lao Er, "The eldest brother still values old friendships. If you back down a bit, this matter will be over. The scar on your face isn't a problem. Wasn't it the eldest brother's medicine that removed the scar on my wife's hand?"
"It's too late to say all this now." Liu Lao Er forced a bitter smile, which, combined with the burn scars on his face, made him look particularly ferocious and pathetic.
He picked up his broken knife from the ground.
"Liu Lao Er!" A woman in a snow-white dress ran over like a madwoman from afar.
Liu Lao Er paused, holding the broken knife, and looked over.
Qiao Dongzi also looked over, "Xue Niang?"
Suddenly remembering something, Qiao Dongzi said to Liu Lao Er, "Xue Niang is pregnant. Is it your child?"
Previously, no matter how much Qiao Dongzi talked, Liu Lao Er's eyes remained unmoved, but they finally trembled.
"She's pregnant?!"
"You...sigh! If you don't want the boss to make things difficult for her, you know what to do." After saying that, Qiao Dongzi also left, rushing towards the remaining remnants of the Central Jin Dynasty.
Tears streaming down her face, Xue Niang threw herself into Liu Lao Er's arms, completely ignoring the burn scars on his face. "Why didn't you come to pick me up?"
"Excuse me," Liu Lao Er looked at her lower abdomen, "Is it mine?"
Xue Niang nodded. "Yes, you've left me with such a huge problem. What am I going to do now?"
"How about we hit her?" Liu Lao Er's blood-covered hand landed on her abdomen. A large bloody handprint appeared on her snow-white dress, which looked horrifying, yet also conveyed a unique kind of deep affection.
"You wretched creature, what are you saying?" Xue Niang pounded her fists in his arms. "Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs, you're more vicious than a tiger."
