"The prince is back!"
The moment Wang Xiong entered the east city of the town, he was greeted with cheers. Without anyone announcing it, the sounds of worship and joy from the people along the way were conveyed to the Dongfang Palace.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty, Da Qin's announcement has been spread throughout the city, saying that Your Majesty has been recognized by Da Qin!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, King of the East!"
"King of the East!"
"King of the East!"
… … … …
… … …
…
After countless people paid their respects, it finally turned into a sentence: King of the East.
From this moment on, everyone understood that King Dongfang was completely justified, not only with the canonization of the True God, but also with the recognition of the Emperor of Qin.
At this moment, Wang Xiong truly inherited Wang Hong's throne and became the legitimate lord of the Eastern fiefdom.
These days, four years before Zhendong City's tax revenue was restored, the people naturally supported Wang Xiong very much.
Wang Xiong is riding on a giant tiger, followed by a pack of wolves. At this moment, when the people looked at the wolves, they no longer felt fear, but more welcomed them.
The wolves looked at the extremely enthusiastic people and were frightened for a while. After all, Baicao City and Shendu have always been wary of and despised along the way. Suddenly being so popular is hard to get used to.
However, the wolves also instantly felt a strange touch from the enthusiasm of the people.
The team walked towards the city lord's palace. From a distance, Wang Zhongquan and a group of people also came up to greet them. These are all servants of the Wang family. On the other side, Wang Tiance and a group of clan elders also came up quickly and happily.
"Welcome the prince back to the mansion!" Wang Tiance shouted loudly.
All the children of the Wang family followed Wang Tiance and bowed down.
On the other side, Wang Zhongquan and a group of servants also bowed respectfully: "Welcome the prince back to the house!"
It was an extremely festive scene, but Wang Xiong inadvertently shrank his pupils. Because Wang Zhongquan and Wang Tiance didn't come at the same time, or rather, they didn't come together, but they were divided into two groups.
However, Wang Xiong remained calm and did not express the doubts in his heart.
"Yes!" Wang Xiong nodded with a smile.
Surrounded by everyone, Wang Xiong and his team slowly walked towards the Dongfang Palace.
When he arrived outside the Dongfang Palace, Wang Xiong paused slightly because there were several peaks surrounding the palace, some of which actually collapsed. Some shops nearby also disappeared. Wang Xiong looked at Wang Zhongquan.
"My lord, in the few months since you left, the two great saints of Chilian Holy Land have come to seek revenge!" Wang Zhongquan said with a bitter smile.
"Oh?" Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes.
"Thankfully we received the news early, and I arranged giant crossbows on the surrounding peaks and shops, so we forced them back!" Wang Tiance also sighed.
"Two Holy Sons are attacking? They are both high-level Martial Saints, not much worse than Zuo Baifeng. In fact, the Great Holy Son is even stronger. You actually forced them back?" Sixin asked in surprise.
"Huh?" Wang Zhongquan and Wang Tiance both looked at the swollen Sixin in confusion.
"His name is Xiaosi, don't worry about him!" Wang Xiong said calmly.
"Little Four?" Wang Tiance looked confused.
"Your Majesty, let's talk about it after we go back to the mansion!" Wang Zhongquan said respectfully.
"Yeah!" Wang Xiong nodded.
The giant gate, the giant palace, the heart, and the pack of wolves did not need Wang Xiong's arrangement at all. When they arrived at the palace, Wang Zhongquan handled everything very properly.
In the Dongfang Palace, Wang Xiong met with a group of elders in the main hall.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for being canonized by the Human Emperor. Now, Your Majesty's Eastern throne is justifiable. The news has spread throughout the thirty-six cities in the fiefdom, and countless people are cheering!" A clan elder said excitedly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, if this happens, it will be difficult for Taiwei Pang!" Another clan elder said excitedly.
"My lord, did that scroll really make the emperor give in?" Wang Tiance said excitedly.
"Scroll? Oh? Tiance and the prince conspired to plot a scroll for Captain Pang in the underground palace? What exactly is it?" the elders of the sects asked in surprise.
"Yes, Tiance, tell me, what is it that makes the Emperor give in?"
… … … …
… …
…
All the elders were surprised. They didn't expect that this time Wang Xiong was canonized by the Emperor, and Wang Tiance also helped a lot.
Wang Xiong looked at Wang Tiance unexpectedly, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
When Wang Xiong didn't say anything, Wang Tiance also smiled and said, "Elders, it's better not to inquire. No matter what, the prince is now well-established in Da Qin. This is a great joy!"
"Yes, yes!" All the elders said happily.
"By the way, you said earlier that the two holy sons of Chilian Holy Land are attacking?" Wang Xiong looked at Wang Tiance.
"Yes, it's the news that Butler Wang has received!" Wang Tiance looked at Wang Zhongquan.
Wang Zhongquan turned over his hand and took out a note and gave it to Wang Xiong. Wang Xiong looked carefully.
------
Wang Xiong killed Holy Son Si Xin in Baicao City. The two remaining Holy Sons in Chilian Holy Land were so angry that they turned into hatred. In three days at the latest, they will come to Dongfang Palace and prepare to bloodbath Dongfang Palace.
------
Looking at the words on the note, Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Where did this come from?"
"I don't know! I woke up one morning and saw an arrow fletched on the big tree outside my house, with this note tied to the arrow fletching!" Wang Zhongquan shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
"Oh?" Wang Xiong showed a hint of surprise. Someone had tipped off the news. Who was it? Don't you know
Wang Xiong looked at Wang Tiance and others.
Wang Tiance also shook his head blankly.
"Then what?" Wang Xiong said in a deep voice.
"Then, Steward Wang notified all of us. Steward Wang meant to hide and wait for the prince to come back. I have the exact opposite idea to Steward Wang. I, Prince Dongfang, have just stood up, so there is no reason to hide. So, I We immediately deployed crossbowmen and hid in the dark. Sure enough, three days later, the two holy sons arrived hand in hand. They also brought a group of big snakes with them. We were ambushed!" Wang Tiance said with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Tiance was very brave at that time. He was not afraid at all when facing a powerful enemy! Thousands of arrows were fired, causing a lot of injuries to the snakes. The two saints were forced back by some specially made crossbows. Although a lot of things were destroyed! But...!" A sect elder recalled excitedly.
"A special crossbow?" Wang Xiong frowned slightly and looked at Wang Tiance.
"It's a treasure left behind by the old prince. It has been hidden in the army!" Wang Tiance explained.
"Yeah!" Wang Xiong smiled and nodded. But there was a doubt in his heart. The crossbow that could drive back the Martial Saint was hidden in the army, and he didn't know it
"Your Majesty, this time I have a disagreement with Butler Wang. However, we remember what the prince said before he left. I am in charge of the outside world, and Butler Wang is in charge of the inside. That's why I have been so aggressive in this external war!" Wang Tiance He smiled bitterly.
"As long as the enemy is beaten back!" Wang Xiong smiled.
"Yes, the two saint sons seemed to have received some news on the way. They actually left midway, and then went to Dongxin City to attack Taiwei Pang and seriously injured Taiwei Pang. It's really dog bites dog!" Wang Tiance said with a smile.
"Hahahaha!" All the elders also laughed.
Wang Xiong asked some questions, but no one knew. Wang Xiong chatted with them for a while and then sent them away.
At night, Wang Xiong's study. Wang Zhongquan stood respectfully beside him.
"Old Wang, you are the one whom I trust the most in this palace. Please tell me about the situation at that time!" Wang Xiong looked at Wang Zhongquan.
Wang Zhongquan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, Marquis Tiance did not lie. Maybe the old slave is really too timid!"
"Oh? Is Wang Tiance telling the truth?" Wang Xiong showed a trace of doubt.
"Yes, the reason for welcoming the prince today is because that day, I had a disagreement with the sect elders about whether to face the two holy sons. It turned out that they were right, so...!" Wang Zhongquan said with a bitter smile.
Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped his fingers on the desk for a while, and shook his head: "No, what you did is the right thing!"
"Oh?" Wang Zhongquan said slightly surprised.
"That's all. Now that it's over, I won't pursue anything further. Do you know where the arrow seal came from?" Wang Xiong looked at Wang Zhongquan.
"I don't know!" Wang Zhongquan said with a bitter smile.
"Is there anyone who can guess?" Wang Xiong asked, staring at Wang Zhongquan.
"Guess?" Wang Zhongquan showed a trace of confusion.
"This arrow book was not sent to anyone else, but to you, which means that the person who sent the message should be familiar with you and trust you, right?" Wang Xiong said solemnly.
"Uh!" Wang Zhongquan thought for a moment.
After a while, Wang Zhongquan said with a hint of uncertainty: "There is a person, I don't know...!"
"Oh? Who?" Wang Xiong asked doubtfully.
"My lord, your uncle!" Wang Zhongquan frowned.
"My uncle?"
"Yes, but I'm not sure, after all...!" Wang Zhongquan said with a bitter smile.
"Tell me, what happened to my uncle? Why don't I remember such a person?" Wang Xiong asked with a trace of doubt.
"Yes, I have been with the old prince for a long time, and there was no princess at that time. The old princess, the prince's mother, when I first saw her in the past, she was still...!" Wang Zhongquan was a little speechless.
"Tell it like it is, no need to modify it!" Wang Xiong shook his head.
"Yes, when I first met the old princess, the old princess was a dirty little beggar. She came to the old prince to beg for treatment for her younger brother. The princess' brother was dying at that time and was lying in a ruined temple. The princess kept kowtowing to the prince and was even willing to sell herself to save her brother. The old prince took pity on the princess and sent people to rescue her brother. At the same time, he took in the siblings and let them stay in the palace as maids and attendants. At least they could have enough food and clothing. . However, after the princess was washed away, her whole temperament changed drastically, and she gradually attracted the old prince, and then she became the princess!" Wang Zhongquan recalled.
"Oh? Beggar siblings?" Wang Xiong showed a hint of surprise.
"Yes, the old princess's younger brother, who is also your uncle, has grown up very quickly in the palace for several years. The old prince said that he is extremely talented, much higher than Wang Tiance's talent, and no worse than the old prince! However, After the death of the old princess, your uncle disappeared!" Wang Zhongquan said with a bitter smile.
"Disappeared?" Wang Xiong showed a hint of doubt.
"Although I don't know where he went, the old prince said that your uncle values love and justice, and your mother pulled him up at all costs. After your mother died, he must have gone to take revenge, but where did he go to take revenge? , No one knows. Even the old prince doesn’t know! The old princess died in the hands of the Chilian Holy Land, so your uncle must have gone to the Chilian Holy Land. This time, maybe...!" Wang Zhongquan explained.
Wang Xiong nodded: "My uncle? According to what you said, it is indeed possible, but he has not shown up for eighteen years? But...!"
"Your uncle is very stubborn, and sometimes he does extreme things. Once, he got into a fight with several kids of the same age, and the whole body was covered in blood. He didn't even grunt. As a result, he endured the pain and bit off the kids with all his strength. One child chewed and swallowed his ear, scaring all the other children to tears. From now on, no child will dare to mess with him again!" Wang Zhongquan recalled with a smile.
"Oh? Still a ruthless character?" Wang Xiong laughed.
