Yang Xuance, the youngest son of the king of the Yang Kingdom, threw away his usual forbearance and flew into a rage in the palace, smashing his jade pendant.
No one dared to bear the crime of obstructing the king's relationship.
It was so quiet outside the Yangxin Palace that even breathing could not be heard.
It was as if the wind had stopped.
Liu Huai, the eunuch, immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake. "How would I dare?"
However, his posture was very proper and his etiquette was complete. His feet did not move at all.
He admitted his mistake, apologized, and bowed his head, but the king did not move.
He looked at the guards, maids, and eunuchs around him, and then at the silent Yangxin Palace.
Yang Xuance realized that his heart, which had already turned cold, could actually cool down even more …
With his cultivation, how could his father not hear him when he made such a ruckus?
He just did not want to hear it, or was too lazy to care.
After enduring for so many years, this was the first time he had lost his temper. Yang Xuance wanted to do something, but he suddenly became disheartened.
What was the point?
"Fine." He sighed and took out a letter from his sleeve. "Important matters of the country cannot be delayed. Just pass this letter to my father, and I will not be an eyesore to him. "
"I will definitely deliver it." Liu Huai bowed and respectfully received the letter with both hands, not forgetting the etiquette of a subject.
He watched Yang Xuance's back as he strode away.
Then, he straightened his back bit by bit. Without even looking at it, he rubbed his hands and the letter turned into powder.
His lips curled into a cold smile. Now that the Eastern Palace had been stabilized, Liu Huai naturally knew who was the master of the country. It was too late for the fifth prince to think of "getting down to business" and "starting the stove".
Moreover, the king did not care about this so-called son at all. The crown prince was definitely the future master of the Yang Kingdom. He had served the king for many years, so how could he not know?
Of course, he was only loyal to the king, but he also had to maintain the necessary respect for the next king.
Delivering the letter today was just a matter of convenience, but in the eyes of those with ulterior motives, it would be seen as a lack of determination and inevitable punishment in the future. How could he take the risk for a mere Yang Xuance?
Outside the Yangxin Palace Hall, there were guards, palace maids, and eunuchs, but all of them were looking down at their boots. No one dared to look in their direction.
He, Liu Huai, bent his back. If he was unfortunate enough to see someone who was not worthy of looking at him, his lifespan might be shortened.
Turning around, he walked back into the Yangxin Palace Hall without making a single sound.
Beside the monarch, countless people wanted to squeeze in, so there was no time to waste.
The King of the Yang Kingdom, Yang Jiande, sat on a white jade futon with his eyes closed. There was a faint golden light above his head, but he was not busy with any political affairs.
Liu Huai carefully stood in a corner of the hall. It was a position where the monarch would be able to find him immediately if he wanted to find him. It was also a position where he wouldn't always block the monarch's line of sight and annoy him.
After a long time.
The king of the Yang Kingdom, Yang Jiande, didn't open his eyes. "What is Xuance up to now?"
Liu Huai respectfully replied, "He said that he has an official matter to discuss with Your Majesty."
In the vast hall, there were no more words.
…
…
The plague in Jia City was finally under control.
With the support of the Yang Court and the assistance of the Four Seas Business Alliance, the Xi Family, who had ruled this place for hundreds of years, mobilized all their forces. In any case, before the end of the seventh month, the plague was stopped from spreading.
In the end, the plague was terrifying, but in the world of Transcendents, it wasn't an unsolvable problem. It wasn't even within the range of the most terrifying disasters.
Take the great battle between Qin and Chu in the valley plains last year as an example. Both sides had invested close to 100,000 Transcendents, and the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.
When the two powerful countries fought, the entire valley plains had caved in for hundreds of miles, and not a single blade of grass grew. The fertile land of the past had become scorched earth overnight. This plain used to support many people, but now, not even grass could grow. What kind of natural disaster could be compared to this kind of tragedy?
As for the destruction of Fenglin City in the Zhuang Kingdom and the loss of hundreds of thousands of corpses, it was needless to say …
The plague in the Yang Kingdom had spread until now, but the number of deaths had yet to exceed 100,000.
Of course, things weren't calculated in this way. The tragedy was never easy to compare.
However, man-made disasters were always better than natural disasters.
When humans killed people, they killed more than any natural disaster or any foreign species. They killed more happily!
Let's not talk about these things for now.
Observant people had probably noticed that in this period of time, there were fewer and fewer direct descendants of the Xi Family in Jia City. Many of the Xi Family's properties had been sold or given away.
The Xi Family had already completely withdrawn from Jia City, from the land they had managed for hundreds of years.
No one knew where they were going, but many people were certain that they were going to the East King Valley. After all, the current head of the Xi Family, Xi Zichu, was a disciple of the East King Valley.
The East King Valley wasn't much different from a normal country, so naturally, it could accommodate the Xi Family.
However, leaving one's home was cheap. No matter where they moved to, it would take more than one or two generations for the Xi Family to return to its former glory.
…
On this day, Jiang Wang was cultivating when suddenly, a martial artist from the town hall came to report, "Lord Jiang, Xi … Xi Zichu is outside the town, and he said that he wants to fight with you!"
A person's name was like a tree's shadow.
The Xi Family had managed Jia City for hundreds of years. Even though they had lost the support of the people due to the plague, the prestige they had accumulated over the years was still there.
Especially since Xi Zichu was the current head of the Xi Family, he had undeniably inherited this prestige.
This was also the reason why Jiang Wang thought that if he wanted to stop the plague in Jia City, he needed Xi Zichu's cooperation.
Everyone in Jia City was afraid of the Xi Family's prestige. This martial artist from the town hall was no exception.
Jiang Wang opened his eyes without any surprise.
He directly took out his long sword, pushed open the door, and walked towards the town's North Gate.
Coming from the direction of Jia City, it was naturally the North Gate.
On the way, he heard an angry shout that shook the entire town.
"Jiang Wang!"
This time, Xiang Qian, Zhu Biqiong, Zhang Hai, and Dugu Xiao were all alarmed.
Even the guards of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance's warehouse, and the medical cultivators that Chung Geng Sheng sent to treat the people, all paid attention.
Not to mention the town hall's constables, martial artists, and even the townspeople.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was a special period where people were forbidden from entering and leaving, the townspeople would have already crowded the North Gate.
Even so, they all pricked up their ears in their homes, waiting for what would happen next.
But what made them disappointed was that the sound that shook the entire town never sounded again.
Because … … Jiang Wang had already arrived.
That day in Jia City, there should have been this battle. Thinking of the townspeople, he put away his sword and left.
Now that it had come to this, of course he wouldn't avoid it.
Jiang Wang walked to the North Gate of Qingyang Town in large strides. The first thing he saw was Xi Zichu.
He stood alone.
His usual confident and unrestrained appearance was all gone. His face that was much thinner than before had a cold expression.
His forehead was wrapped in a mourning band, and he was wearing mourning clothes.
Seeing Jiang Wang appear, he only said, "Everything has been decided. Let's stick to our previous agreement."
He stuck the carp patterned red flag into the ground several inches deep. The flag fluttered in the wind.
"Jiang Wang! I'll kill you! "
The hatred of killing his father was irreconcilable.
Xiang Qian was eager to try. Dugu Xiao even quietly pulled Zhu Biqiong.
But Jiang Wang waved his hand behind him, indicating that they shouldn't act rashly.
With one hand on his waist, he stood outside the town gate.
Guarding the gate with one sword, he only said, "Come forward!"
