Maybe Zhou Tianyin's eyes were too similar to those of his lover in his previous life. Maybe during this trip to the underground palace, Wang Xiong felt moved by Zhou Tianyin. Wang Xiong had a great time getting along with Zhou Tianyin these two days.
"Tianyin, wait for me at the palace. Wang Tiance and I will go to Zhendong City to collect interest from Captain Pang!" Wang Xiong said to Zhou Tianyin before leaving.
"Brother-in-law, come back soon! Don't keep my sister waiting!" Zhou Chi said with a smile.
Wang Xiong smiled slightly, straddling the giant bridge, leading Wang Tiance and a group of Wang family disciples and soldiers on horseback towards Zhendong City in the distance.
Watched Wang Xiong and his party leave. A trace of expectation flashed in Zhou Tianyin's eyes.
Wang Xiong's departure is the first step for the Dongfang Palace to take back power.
The name is right and the words are right! Wang Xiong had great righteousness and took the first step to counterattack from having no right to speak at the beginning.
"Miss Zhou, you can do whatever you want with everything in the house!" Wang Zhongquan said with a smile.
These days, Zhou Tianyin and Wang Xiong are in love, which makes Wang Zhongquan extremely happy. He almost has a new princess in front of him, and everything is developing for the best. The Dongfang Palace will be strong and powerful, just around the corner.
Zhou Tianyin nodded.
Wang Zhongquan and others retreated, followed by Zhou Chi. Only Senior Brother Ma, who had just recovered from his injury, was left on the side.
Senior Brother Ma frowned slightly from beginning to end. Knowing that Wang Xiong was gone, he sighed: "Junior Sister, you have been too close to Wang Xiong these days!"
"Close?" Zhou Tianyin raised his eyebrows.
"I know that Master is protecting you, but have you forgotten your identity?" Senior Brother Ma said solemnly.
Zhou Tianyin's face darkened slightly.
"You still can't decide on your marriage. Last time, Wang Xiong was given the marriage. You should understand! There are many pairs of eyes staring at you. They don't want you to have an easy time! Even your biological father...!" Senior Brother Ma He smiled bitterly.
Zhou Tianyin's expression changed.
"Senior brother, I have watched you grow up. Master and I both hope that you will have a good destiny, but we cannot interfere with your destiny... Alas! I also know you well. You already have a good impression of Wang Xiong. However, Wang Xiong is still too weak now...!" Senior Brother Ma sighed slightly.
Zhou Tianyin's eyes were filled with uncertainty.
"In front of your biological father, Wang Xiong has no use value at all. In the eyes of those who want to see you make a fool of yourself, once Wang Xiong falls into their eyes, he may become extremely dangerous. Wang Xiong is destined to do great things, but , he is still too weak, and you are too close to him. Not only can you not help him, but you will bring him disaster!" Senior Brother Ma sighed.
Zhou Tianyin's face turned ugly for a while.
"You should bury this feeling deep in your heart. Don't give those people any clues. When you have the opportunity to decide your own destiny in the future, or when Wang Xiong can protect himself, you can consider taking it out again! "Senior Brother Ma said seriously.
"But...!" Zhou Tianyin's eyes were slightly red.
"First love is beautiful, but it is often bitter. Only by experiencing this bitterness can a person grow up. For your own sake and for Wang Xiong's sake, senior brother advises you to make a break as soon as possible!" Senior Brother Ma sighed.
"Yeah!" Zhou Tianyin nodded with red eyes.
Turning around, Zhou Tianyin walked back to the house alone. There were some things that he had to face by himself. Although it was a bit cruel when faced with it, he had to do it.
----------
Zhendong City is the city closest to Dongfang Prince's Palace. Officials and people naturally have the greatest recognition of the Palace.
After a few days, the officials and people in the city were looking forward to King Dongfang more and more.
Over the past few days, officials have been going to the palace one after another to express their allegiance.
Wang Xiong did not receive him, but a group of Wang family members did.
Those officials were originally loyal to the palace, but they were forced by circumstances in recent years. However, the rise of the palace gave them hope again, and they immediately defected to the Dongfang Palace.
The officials knew that Wang Xiong would come to Zhendong City today to confront Taiwei Pang. Therefore, no matter what Taiwei Pang's attitude was, these officials who were interested in the palace were waiting at the city gate early.
Some people have already gone to the palace, and some people are not qualified enough and have not gone to the palace, but their superiors have also brought their own ideas.
When Wang Xiong and his group arrived at the city gate, hundreds of officials and soldiers were already standing outside.
"Meet the prince!" Everyone bowed respectfully.
In the past, I worshiped the old prince Wang Hong, but now I worship the new prince Wang Xiong.
Wang Xiong is riding on a giant tiger, commanding and powerful.
"Thank you for your hard work for our royal palace and guarding its foundation!" Wang Xiong said.
Hearing Wang Xiong's concern, everyone cheered up. Although Wang Xiong's words were simple, they sent a signal.
In the past few years, everyone has violated Wang Fu's policies, but Wang Xiong has stopped pursuing them. And it also turned into protecting the foundation for the palace? Any merit or demerit
"It's my fair share!" Everyone shouted excitedly.
"Well, then follow me to the Taiwei's Mansion!" Wang Xiong said calmly.
"Yes!" everyone responded.
Making way for a way, Juque carried Wang Xiong to the front.
Wang Tiance, Jumen, the Wang family's children, and a group of Wang Tiance's soldiers were guarding the side, and the surrounding officials and soldiers followed closely behind.
Hundreds of officials and soldiers followed, and soon the team grew in size.
On this day, almost all the officials and guards in the city who were interested in the palace did not go to the palace, but waited in all directions. Seeing the large army following Wang Xiong, those officials and guards who were watching from all directions followed.
Even some good people in the city followed behind.
Wang Xiong's team walked on the street. People on both sides saluted one after another.
"Meet the prince!"
"Your Majesty, great blessings will reach heaven!"
… … … …
… … …
…
The people lined the streets to welcome him, but Wang Xiong's team continued to expand. After walking two streets, the few hundred people behind him turned into nearly ten thousand people.
All this is due to Wang Hong's excellent management of the fiefdom in the past. The people supported Wang Hong, and Aiwujiwu naturally supported Wang Xiong. At the same time, Taiwei Pang was in charge of the military affairs. Not only did he cause complaints, but he also destroyed the previous balance and increased taxes. However, the taxes did not support the construction of the city like Wang Hong did, but were turned over to the national treasury.
Comparing before and after, people naturally prefer Wang Xiong.
There are more and more teams following, and the momentum is getting stronger and stronger. The excited chatter behind them is like thousands of troops. Wherever they go, the servants sent by Taiwei Pang show signs of fear. color.
"Captain, King Dongfang has entered the city!"
"Lieutenant, what's wrong, those rogue officials actually went to Wang Xiong to please him!"
"Lieutenant, the number of officials and guards behind Wang Xiong has reached a thousand!"
"Lieutenant, the team behind Wang Xiong has reached 10,000 people!"
… … … …
… … …
…
News kept coming one after another.
Lieutenant Pang was sitting in the city lord's palace, drinking tea. The subordinates next to him were anxious. Everyone could feel the danger of an approaching storm.
Wang Xiong's strength became the strength of thousands of people. It seems like the overwhelming force is falling from the sky.
"What was supposed to come has finally come!" The tea bowl in Pang Taiwei's hand shook and a few drops of tea spilled out.
"Lieutenant, Wang Xiong is here to force the palace. What should we do?" an official said with a look of horror.
"How unbecoming you are in such a panic!" Pang Taiwei's eyes widened.
"I, I, can...!" Everyone's expressions froze.
In the divine capital, Taiwei Pang has experienced various political struggles. What scenes have he not seen? Now, although the situation is extremely unfavorable, Taiwei Pang still forces himself to calm down.
Because Taiwei Pang understands that others can mess up, but he can't mess up. Once he messes up, it will be completely messy.
"Let's go with me to meet King Dongfang!" Pang Taiwei put down his teacup and said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" A group of Taiwei Pang's followers responded.
Taiwei Pang walked at the front, followed by a group of followers. A group of people also moved toward the outside of Taiwei's mansion.
At this moment, the news spread in the city, and more and more people gathered. The arrival of these people seemed to give Wang Xiong a strong momentum, and a heaven-shattering momentum followed Wang Xiong towards the Taiwei Mansion.
Taiwei's Mansion is the city lord's palace in Zhendong City. It is located in the north of the city. It is the largest building complex in the city. The palace is even more picturesque with rivers and mountain peaks as the scenery. It is a large place with a rainbow-like momentum.
When Wang Xiong arrived at the gate of the Taiwei Mansion with a large force, he saw Taiwei Pang leading a group of officials out of the house from a distance.
Looking at the majestic Taiwei's Mansion, Wang Xiong's eyes flashed with a sigh: "Taiwei's Mansion? The City Lord's Mansion in Zhendong City! It's quite impressive, even bigger than Dongfang Prince's Mansion!"
"My lord, I don't know. When the old lord supervised the construction of this city lord's palace, he had planned to move the palace here. Unfortunately, after all the hard work, it ended up becoming someone else's wedding dress." Wang Tiance said with a bitter smile while riding a horse. .
"The things in my palace are not so easy to live in. It should be ours, it is ours, no one can take it!" Wang Xiong said with cold eyes.
"Yes!" Wang Tiance responded.
The large army slowly walked to the entrance of the city lord's mansion.
"Da Qin Renguo, Taiwei, pays homage to the King of the East!" Taiwei Pang gave a slight salute.
"Greetings to King Dongfang!" The subordinates behind him said with a salute.
Taiwei Pang's voice was loud and loud, instantly suppressing all the noise from all directions. The officials, soldiers, and people who followed immediately stopped talking and looked at Captain Pang and Wang Xiong in front of them.
The captain bowed down, but Wang Xiong did not get off the tiger. Instead, he sat on the back of the giant tower and looked coldly at Captain Pang in front of him.
"Lieutenant Pang? Oh, what a great official authority!" Wang Xiong said with a serious look on his face.
The expressions of the officials behind Lieutenant Pang also changed. He and his group have already bowed to you, but you still refuse to give in
Lieutenant Pang's face darkened, knowing that Wang Xiong was about to attack.
"When the Red Lian Army attacked, the Dongfang Palace sent people to ask for help many times, asking Taiwei Pang to send troops to defend the enemy, but Taiwei Pang was indifferent. The prince's children suffered numerous casualties. Fortunately for the palace, the Red Lian Army's 500,000-strong army was finally repulsed. The king waited in the mansion for eight days, waiting for Taiwei Pang to come and explain. Ha, Taiwei Pang has such great official authority. For eight days, I did not see a single messenger from Taiwei Pang, nor did I hear a word from Taiwei Pang. Explanation, what? Does Taiwei Pang disdain to explain to me? Or in Taiwei Pang’s heart, you are the only one who dominates the Eastern fiefdom?" Wang Xiong said coldly.
