The auspicious date chosen by the Minister of Ceremonies for Xu Tianlong's enthronement was seven days later. Wan Dong took this opportunity to spend time with Xu Tianlong, his wife and Xu Wenchuan. A family of four spends time together every day, seems to have endless things to talk about, and enjoys a lot of family happiness.
At the same time, Wandong also took this opportunity to take good care of Mrs. Xu's body. Mrs. Xu was unwilling to practice martial arts, and Wandong couldn't force her. He could only use Tao Qi to comb her carefully, which greatly enhanced her physique and extended her lifespan.
Xu Tianlong is good at arranging troops and formations, and although his martial arts attainments are not weak, they are not outstanding. Without Xu Wenchuan's talent, nor Xu Wenchuan's martial heart, it is destined to be impossible to achieve Xu Wenchuan's achievements. And after he ascends to the throne, he will be entangled in political affairs, and I am afraid that he will have less time to practice. But this happened to be paired with Mrs. Xu. The two grew up and died together, holding hands for a lifetime, which was a beautiful thing. Therefore, Wandong did not deliberately improve Xu Tianlong's cultivation.
But Xu Wenchuan was not so easy to deal with. He accidentally heard about the magic of Qi-Entraining Pill and Soul-Securing Pill from Xu Tianlong. He immediately couldn't sit still and ordered people to search for medicinal materials and let Wandong refine them. Wandong didn't refuse, since there was no need for his help anyway. On the contrary, with the help of alchemy, the white fire dragon in Wandong's body became a little stronger. And after refining this batch of elixirs, it is even more certain that Xu Wenchuan, Sun Daobai and the others will achieve Great Perfection.
Xu Tianlong's enthronement ceremony was very grand, and Wan Dong also took advantage of it, and inexplicably became the crown prince of the Qingyun Empire. Wan Dong could not give up the title of Crown Prince no matter what. Who wanted Xu Tianlong to be his only son? However, Wan Dong is not worried. Xu Tianlong is young and powerful, and there will be no problem at all if he can work for 20 or 30 years. As for what will happen twenty or thirty years from now, who knows
Wandong always cared about Shenlei City and Luo Xiao and the others in his heart. The day after Xu Tianlong proclaimed himself emperor, Wandong said goodbye to Xu Wenchuan and the others and left Yunzhong City.
Traveling under starry night without any delay, Wandong stood in front of the gate of Divine Thunder City three days later.
Wan Dong, the Lord of Divine Thunder City, has made great plans and has only been in office for three months. But for some reason, as soon as he saw the words Divine Thunder City, Wan Dong felt a sense of intimacy in his heart. He didn't know why. It's not because Divine Thunder City is very close to Tiandu Kingdom.
Entering Divine Thunder City, Wandong did not rush to the city lord's mansion immediately, but walked to Zhu Cai's inn. The relationship between this person and other people is really wonderful. Wandong and Zhu Cai obviously have no blood relationship, but Wandong's closeness to Zhu Cai seems to be innate and cannot be stopped. live.
"Sir, do you want to eat or stay in the hotel?" As soon as Wan Dong entered the inn, a man came over with a big smile.
Wandong looked up, with a smile on his face, "Are you Brother Zhu's biological eldest brother?"
Wandong's question made the man stunned for a moment. He subconsciously looked at Wandong carefully. After looking at Wandong, he recognized Wandong's identity. His face was excited, surprised, and at the same time a little respectful. He was embarrassed and said with a trembling voice, "Yes... it's the Lord of the City. I'm a little blind and I didn't recognize you. Don't be offended..."
Wan Dong laughed a few times, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Zhu is my eldest brother, so you are naturally my eldest brother too, so there is no need to be polite to me."
Wandong's kindness made Zhu Cai's eldest brother feel relieved and he quickly reached out to invite him.
Wandong nodded and walked into the lobby of the inn. When he looked up, he saw that the business of the inn was very good. It was already 70% to 80% full before dinner time. Zhu Cai was lying on the counter, fiddling with the abacus beads without even raising his head.
Just as Zhu Cai's eldest brother was about to greet him, Wan Dong shook his head lightly and walked to the counter.
"Shopkeeper, please bring us a table with good wine and good food."
"No problem, our inn lacks everything except good wine and food."
"But I have no money, what should I do?"
"What? You..."
Zhu Cai was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his head. When he saw it was Wan Dong, a strong look of surprise immediately filled his face. Looking at Wan Dong's eyes, he felt warm. It seeps right into my heart.
"You brat, you've got the courage to play tricks on your elder brother?"
"Ah Cai, this is the city lord, can't you pay more attention to what you say?" When Zhu Cai heard this, he immediately became anxious and blinked at Zhu Cai, blaming him.
Zhu Cai burst out laughing and said, "I don't know who is the city lord or not. This is my brother. What should I pay attention to?"
Wandong liked Zhu Cai's energy and felt very cordial. His face was full of smiles and he nodded repeatedly.
"Brother, don't wait here. Go to the kitchen and ask my sister-in-law to cook more delicious dishes. I want to have a few drinks with my brother. I haven't seen you for such a long time, but I miss you so much!" Zhu Forgetting the financial accounts, he pushed the abacus, held Wandong's hand, and refused to let go.
Seeing that the two of them were so close and Wandong had no intention of getting angry, Brother Zhu Cai felt at ease. He responded happily and trotted all the way to the kitchen.
Zhu Cai took Wan Dong to a secluded seat and sat down. Wan Dong smiled and asked, "Why, your elder brother and sister-in-law are helping you now?"
Zhu Cai sighed and said, "That bitch Yu Qinglin completely destroyed my elder brother and sister-in-law's home. Nine out of ten of them, the villagers from the village, died in Yu Qinglin's hands. My eldest brother and sister-in-law felt very miserable when they returned. A good village had turned into a ghost village, so I left them here. Although my inn was small, it was enough to support them. , I copied good food, look how good my business is now!”
"Haha... Then I really have to congratulate you, brother..."
Before Wandong could finish his words, Zhu Cai waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to congratulate me, I just have something to say to you. Xiaodong, during your absence, the security of our Shenlei City will be affected." But it’s not very good.”
"Ah? No way?" Wandong couldn't help but frowned.
With Chu Yunyan and Ma Yunliang in charge of this Divine Thunder City, it will only become more and more prosperous and better. How can it cause public security problems? Besides, Luo Xiao, Wang Yangde and Dingshan Guards are now in place, and the Hidden Sword Master of Dzogchen is sitting in charge. Shenlei City can be said to have strong troops. Who dares to cause trouble here
"What, you don't believe it? To tell you the truth, my little inn has been smashed several times."
When Zhu Cai said this, Wandong became even more confused. Who in the entire Shenlei City didn't know that Zhu Cai was his eldest brother? Wandong even personally ordered Ma Yunliang to take good care of Zhu Cai and his inn. , it’s hard to imagine that there are still people who have such courage to cause trouble in this inn. If, as Zhu Cai said, some people dared to cause trouble in his inn, then the security of Shenlei City would not only be a problem, but also a big problem.
Seeing Wan Dong frowning and not speaking, Zhu Cai looked around and suddenly took off his clothes towards Wan Dong. Wan Dong was startled and was about to ask him what he wanted to do, but saw that Zhu Cai had a bandage wrapped around his chest. The thick cotton cloth had faint traces of blood showing through.
Wandong was immediately surprised and asked quickly, "Brother, are you injured?"
Zhu Cai gave a bitter smile and said, "I was unlucky too. I got stabbed because of the fight."
"Is it serious?" Wandong leaned over to take a closer look.
Zhu Cai had already put on his clothes with a smile, shook his head and said, "It's not serious, just a little skin injury, and it's almost healed."
"Brother, do you know who did it?" Wandong asked in a deep voice.
"It seems... they are from a place called Shengtian Continent. They are extremely vicious."
"Ascension Continent? Brother, how do you know this place?" Wandong raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. Although this Shengtian Continent is no longer a secret to him, it is still a secret to ordinary people.
"How else can we know? They said so themselves! Look at them, they are extremely arrogant and they always look at people through their nostrils." Zhu Cai was a little indignant.
"Why do people from Ascension Continent come to our Divine Thunder City?" Wan Dong was a little puzzled.
Zhu Caidao: "It is said that they are all heading for the White Dragon Snow Mountain. They come to our Divine Thunder City just to have a rest."
Hearing what Zhu Cai said, Wandong understood a little. The people of Shengtian Continent have taken a fancy to the fairy beasts and heavenly materials and earthly treasures that appear outside the White Dragon Snow Mountain. The Shengtian Continent is located in the hinterland of the White Dragon Snow Mountain. Although there are also fairy beasts there, they must be of a very high level and difficult to kill. Although the value of the fairy beasts that appear outside the White Dragon Snow Mountain cannot be compared with those of high-level fairy beasts, they are better because of their low risk factor and their large numbers. For them, they are also quite tempting.
The journey from the hinterland of the White Dragon Snow Mountain to the outskirts of the White Dragon Snow Mountain is difficult and dangerous, and it is not easy to get out. Compared with returning to the Shengtian Continent to rest and resupply, it is obviously much more convenient to come to the Divine Thunder City.
It is not surprising that these people from the Ascension Continent do not take him, the Lord of Divine Thunder City, seriously due to their high level of cultivation, deep background, and natural arrogance.
"Okay, they are treating our Divine Thunder City as their back garden." Wandong sneered and said faintly.
"Brother, the people from Shengtian Continent are really not easy to mess with. They all know martial arts, and they are all terrifyingly high. I saw with my own eyes that more than a hundred officers and soldiers were scattered by two or three of them. It's really... incredible. !”
Wandong nodded slightly, having no doubt about what Zhu Cai said. He has had a lot of dealings with Yuntianmen and Danxia Sect, and the worst one he has seen so far is the eighth level, and the eighth level can only be used as a minions in the two sects. As for the ninth level peak, half-step perfection, and even the state of perfection, they are endless and not new at all. Although Shengtian Continent is different from the Dao Sect World, Wan Dong fully believes that there must be powerful beings who have transcended the category of warriors and have been promoted to monks.
