Views:

Wang Xiong and Wang Tiance looked at the extremely delicate and beautiful woman in front of them.

The woman looked at Wang Xiong and Wang Tiance with a hint of surprise.

"Are you Uncle Ma's granddaughter?" Wang Xiong looked at the woman in front of him in confusion.

"My little girl, Ma Lian'er, has met King Dongfang. Ma Zhongliang is the ancestor of our family!" The woman bowed respectfully.

"Ma Lian'er?" Wang Xiong and Wang Tiance looked at each other.

Wang Tiance shook his head and said that he had never seen this woman before.

"To the King of Dongfang, our ancestors have never forgotten the kindness of the Dongfang King's Mansion over the years. Although the four cities were taken away by the Chilian Holy Land, my grandfather has always been interested in the King's Mansion and has been pulling strings from the side. Some big families in the four cities have already We have sent representatives to wait at our Whitewater Island, waiting for the prince to come!" Ma Lianhua said respectfully.

"Uncle Ma? But he is one of the most trusted people of the old prince. There has been no news in these years. I didn't expect him to be in Fuhai City!" Wang Tiance said in surprise.

"My ancestor has been looking forward to the return of Fuhai City to the Eastern fiefdom. Your Majesty, my ancestor has been waiting at Baishui Island. I feel wronged by your prince. This invitation, my ancestor hopes to do it secretly, so as not to alert the officials of the Chilian Holy Land!" Ma Lian'er said respectfully.

"My lord, I will go with you!" Wang Tiance said immediately.

Wang Xiong stared at Ma Lian'er for a while, and finally shook his head: "Wang Tiance, you and Xiaosi stay, the amulet will come at any time. I will come as soon as I go!"

"Amulet?" Ma Lian'er showed a trace of confusion.

Wang Tiance looked at Wang Xiong in confusion, amulet? What kind of amulet is it? But looking at Wang Xiong's firm eyes, Wang Tiance also understood that he couldn't ask clearly for the time being.

"Yes!" Wang Tiance nodded helplessly.

"Miss Ma, let's go!" Wang Xiong smiled.

Ma Zhongliang! Wang Xiong's memory is quite profound. When he was young, his father often felt sorry for him and his poor qualifications. However, Ma Zhongliang often came home to eat with his father at the same table! It can be seen that the relationship between Ma Zhongliang and his father is irreconcilable.

There has been no news for many years. Unexpectedly, Ma Zhongliang has been in Fuhai City.

Wang Xiong only took Juque there. Juque took his place, while Sixin and Wang Tiance stayed in Fuhai City to deal with various matters.

Ma Lian'er led the way and quietly arrived outside the city, where a small boat was waiting.

Along the way, Ma Lian'er looked at Wang Xiong curiously from time to time.

"Sir, Miss Ma's family seems to be interested in you!" Juque laughed softly from the side.

"What nonsense are you talking about? His grandfather is my Uncle Ma, and she is my niece! She is just curious about us!" Wang Xiong shook his head.

Ma Lian'er's eyes were a little strange, but Wang Xiong didn't care.

Baishui Island is not far from Fuhai City. In less than an hour, we arrived at Baishui Island. This is an island with a huge villa, and the island is brightly lit at the moment. There were already hundreds of people standing at the dock. The first one was an old man with white hair, leaning on a cane at the moment, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

As soon as the boat docked, the old man immediately came to greet it.

"Old minister Ma Zhongliang, pay your respects to the prince!" The white-haired old man immediately knelt down.

"Greetings to the prince!" Hundreds of people behind him also wanted to bow down excitedly.

Wang Xiong immediately stepped forward and supported the white-haired old man: "Uncle Ma, there is no need to salute!"

"Prince, hahahaha, have you grown up? Are you enlightened? Great, the old prince is still smiling in heaven!" Ma Zhongliang looked at Wang Xiong excitedly.

"Uncle Ma is so ridiculous. He has been so confused these years and has made many people worry!" Wang Xiong said with a bitter smile.

"Prince, let's go, let's go home and talk, go home and talk!" Ma Zhongliang immediately grabbed Wang Xiong's hand and wouldn't let go.

From Ma Zhongliang's excited look, Wang Xiong saw bursts of emotion.

Ma Lian'er on the side stepped forward to support Ma Zhongliang.

"Juque, please reply to Haicheng first, and come back to report to me if anything happens!" Wang Xiong said.

"Yes!" Juque nodded.

The boat carried Juque back.

Soon we arrived at the manor hall.

"Your Majesty, this is the son of the tax collector of Fuhai City. This is the son of the general who guards Fuhai City. This is the grandson of the city lord of Sanyuan City. This is...!" Ma Zhongliang couldn't wait to introduce it to the people behind him. .

This introduction doesn't matter. Wang Xiong was slightly startled when he saw it. Are they all the sons of high-ranking officials from four cities? Why are they all gathered here

"Meet the prince!" Everyone saluted Wang Xiong one by one.

Wang Xiong also showed a look of surprise, as if he had guessed something.

"I am incompetent. After the death of the old prince, my cultivation level was low and I could not do anything. At that time, the Chilian Holy Land invaded. The people of the four cities near the sea were about to be massacred by the Chilian Holy Land. The old minister was unable to resist. , in addition, many traitors appeared in the four cities, so the veteran could only pretend to surrender, try his best to protect the people, and operate here. However, the veteran has always been interested in the palace. The veteran is not talented and hopes to help the palace defend these four cities. Therefore, the business In addition, we continue to promote people who are loyal to the prince to become officials. At least a quarter of the officials in these four cities are our people. As long as the prince gives the order, we will go to pieces to recapture the city for the prince!" Ma Zhongliang is extremely determined! road.

"Your Majesty, it is not convenient for the officials to come here, so they sent their descendants here just to express their determination. We are here in Chilian, but our hearts are in the East!" Ma Zhongliang said again.

"We will be utterly devastated! To repay the king's kindness!" Everyone said immediately.

Wang Xiong held Ma Zhongliang's hand, but he was extremely moved in his heart: "Thank you very much, on behalf of my father, thank you so much, Uncle Ma, and thank you all!"

After Wang Hong's death, Wang Xiong thought that all the people who followed his father had gone away, but now he realized that he hadn't yet. How loyal Ma Zhongliang was in front of him. Over the years, he had been constantly liaising with officials from the four cities. Not to mention how much energy he spent, this also required a lot of effort. What a risk! This is the death penalty for genocide, but Ma Zhongliang has always done it, waiting for him.

Wang Xiong understood that among his subordinates, only Wang Zhongquan could do what Ma Zhongliang did, and no one else, including Yu Yan, Wang Tiance and others, had such loyalty.

There is no reason, no desire, just for the palace and for myself. Wang Xiong was extremely moved and cherished it extremely.

Wang Xiong chatted with everyone here one by one. Although these people were not as desperate as Ma Zhongliang, at least they could withstand the death penalty of genocide and be loyal to him. It was extremely rare. They were much better than the group of officials in the palace who only knew how to gain benefits.

"Is this your granddaughter? I don't think I've seen it before?" Wang Xiong looked at Ma Lian'er doubtfully.

Wang Xiong and Ma Zhongliang's family are familiar with each other. When he was young, Ma Zhongliang often came to the palace for dinner. Wang Xiong was also familiar with the younger generation of Ma Zhongliang's family, but this Ma Lian'er was extremely unfamiliar.

"You mean Lian'er? Alas! It's my miserable eldest granddaughter. You don't know that my eldest son used to have high hopes. I helped him arrange a marriage, but he escaped from the marriage and eloped. I was furious. I stopped recognizing him, but I didn’t expect that my son would have died early. If I hadn’t discovered Lian’er a few days ago, I wouldn’t have known that my son had already given birth to a child. His son also died in Chilian. In the hands of a flag owner in the Holy Land, now only this poor granddaughter is left!" Ma Zhongliang sighed.

"Oh?" Wang Xiong looked at Ma Lian'er in surprise.

"Lian'er was angry, that's why she was asked to invite the prince, so that it would not be easy to alert the enemy!" Ma Zhongliang explained.

Ma Lian'er lowered her head and wiped her tears, as if she had thought of something sad.

"Uncle Ma, please forgive me!" Wang Xiong sighed.

Ma Zhongliang nodded.

After some conversation, Ma Zhongliang asked people to get various maps.

"Your Majesty, this is the map of the Chilian Holy Land that I have drawn over the years in the Chilian Holy Land. In addition to our four cities, I also have some hidden clues in other cities. I will hand them all over to the Prince now!" Ma Zhongliang took out a map of the Chilian Holy Land. Pile of information.

Looking at these materials, Wang Xiong was suddenly moved.

Even if you don’t go to Chilian Mountain this time, you will still gain a lot.

Ma Zhongliang was excited and kept offering treasures. Everything that was beneficial to Dongfang Palace was explained to Wang Xiong in detail. Ma Zhongliang was old, and he was extremely happy to be able to hand everything back to Dongfang Palace at this moment.

Naturally, Wang Xiong would not ruin Ma Zhongliang's face. Just listen patiently.

This conversation lasted until midnight.

Just when Ma Zhongliang explained everything and was so tired that he couldn't sit still. Juque suddenly burst in from outside the palace.

"No, sir, something happened in the city. Zuo Baifeng and Ying Dong led troops and surrounded our palace!" Juque shouted anxiously.

"Zuo Baifeng? Ying Dong? At this time?" Wang Xiong's eyes lit up at first, and then he showed a hint of worry.

"Yes, I heard the cry of killing before I got close. I saw Zuo Baifeng and Ying Dong standing on a roof from a distance, commanding their subordinates to kill us. I am too big to escape. When we were there, we were discovered! I don’t know if anyone is chasing me!" Juque said anxiously.

"Zuo Baifeng? Ying Dong?" Ma Zhongliang stood up with a change of expression.

However, maybe he is too old, or maybe he has worked too hard in the past few years, and his health is no longer good. As soon as he stood up, he immediately fell down.

"Uncle Ma, don't be angry. It's just Zuo Baifeng and Ying Dong. They are defeated. I have defeated them several times. You take a rest for a while, I will come back when I go. I will have a long talk with Uncle Ma later!" Wang Xiong Immediately comforted.

"Your Majesty, take my guards with you. You must take care of your dragon body!" Ma Zhongliang said anxiously.

"No, don't worry, I'll be back soon!" Wang Xiong said.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I have also heard about your deeds, but you have to be careful. If you are in danger, leave immediately. I will immediately inform the officials of Fuhai City and they will definitely assist you!" Ma Zhongliang said urgently.

"Okay!" Wang Xiong nodded.

Stepping forward, Wang Xiong followed Juque and quickly went out.

Ma Zhongliang was a little old, otherwise he would have followed, but even if he couldn't follow, he would immediately arrange for everyone around him.

"Everyone, please go back quickly and inform your fathers and family heads. Remember, you must keep the prince safe!" Ma Zhongliang said anxiously.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ma!"

"Mr. Ma, I'm going back right now!"

"If it doesn't work, we will rebel against the Chilian Holy Land immediately. I will go back and report to my father immediately!"

… … … … …

… … …

… …

Everyone pledged their support and left quickly.

Ma Zhongliang was left looking anxiously in the direction of Feihai City.

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry too much. Your Majesty has his own destiny!" Ma Lian'er comforted her.

"Lian'er, you are the most sensible. If it weren't for the information you got, I wouldn't have known that the prince came to Fuhai City. Those little bastards still wanted to hide it from me? They don't think much of the prince, and they even hid it from me. You're here? You're a bad boy, you're a bad boy!" Ma Zhongliang sighed.

"Grandpa, second uncle and the others...!"

"Don't mention them. Your father, well, it's a good thing that you are still alive, otherwise I wouldn't know how to see your grandma!" Ma Zhongliang said bitterly.

Ma Lian'er stood aside and said nothing.

After leaving Baishui Island, Wang Xiongjuque quickly sailed towards Fuhai City in a small boat.

"Your Highness, Ying Dong, Zuo Baifeng? Why did they come back? Is it the idea of Holy Master Chi Lian?" Juque said with a worried look on his face.

"No, if it is the intention of Holy Master Chi Lian, we should wait until we arrive at Chi Lian Mountain before killing him. Now, it is too early. They came secretly!" Wang Xiong said with a sneer.

"secretly?"

"Yes, they are the amulets I am waiting for. Unfortunately, everything is a bit too coincidental today. They came just when I was going out. I hope Wang Tiance and Sixin are okay!" A worry flashed in Wang Xiong's eyes.

The boat quickly sailed towards the shore, not far from the shore. Wang Xiong stepped onto the back of the giant tower. Jumped onto the shore instantly.

"Come on, go to the embassy!" Wang Xiong urged.

"Yes!" Juque carried Wang Xiong on his back and rushed towards the embassy quickly.
