At the foot of Mount Qiyun, there was a messy military camp.
A large number of wounded soldiers were being treated by military doctors. In the army, all the high-ranking generals had gathered in the main tent. They had been discussing for three days and three nights.
At this moment, a middle-aged, skinny man with a golden seal in his hand was anxiously kneeling outside the main tent with a group of attendants.
From time to time, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at the God's Mausoleum Mountains in the distance. The God's Mausoleum Mountains were currently engulfed by a giant tornado and endless yellow sand, forming a huge sandstorm barrier.
"Dongfang Palace's first-class steward, Wang Zhongquan, with the Dongfang Palace's golden seal, requests an audience with the Southern Palace's Eldest Miss, Zhou Tianyin! Please report again! "The middle-aged man shouted again.
Outside the main tent, a guard stepped forward and said, "Steward Wang, you have reported for three days. Lady Zhou does not want to see you!"
Wang Zhongquan glared at him. "The golden seal is here. You can just wait and report. Is it up to you to decide whether Lady Zhou wants to see you or not?"
The guard's face stiffened. He looked at the golden seal but did not dare to contradict it. He bowed respectfully to the golden seal and stepped into the main tent to report again.
Wang Zhongquan waited patiently. Behind him, a group of servants had been kneeling for three days. Some of them were also impatient.
One of them looked at Wang Zhongquan and said, "Head Chief, the Young Lord has left. We, we should prepare for the Young Lord's funeral!"
"How dare you!" Wang Zhongquan glared.
"Head Chief, the servants who returned said that the army was trapped in Sirius Valley. The Young Lord was killed by an arrow. This Heavenly Fiend Divine Wind came too quickly. The servants didn't even have the chance to collect the Young Lord's body. Head Chief, don't insist. Prepare for the Young Lord's funeral!" The man said with grief.
"Why did I execute that group of servants? It was because not only had they failed to protect the Young Lord, they had even abandoned the Young Lord in the wilderness. They deserved to be killed! We don't know if the Young Lord is dead or alive. If you dare to mess things up again, I'll punish you according to the family rules! "A cold glint flashed across Wang Zhongquan's eyes.
The man's face stiffened. After a moment of silence, he mustered up his courage and said, "Head Chief, don't deceive yourself and others. In Celestial Wolf Valley, there are wolves all around. I'm afraid that the Young Lord's body and the five hundred soldiers have already been devoured by the wolves. Now that the Young Lord has fallen, the mansion must be in turmoil. We must return to the mansion immediately and support Young Master Tiance. The mansion cannot be without a leader for a single day. Moreover, Young Master Tiance holds you in high esteem!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhongquan looked at the man with an ominous glint. "The Young Lord is the legitimate wife. That Wang Tiance, no matter how talented he is, is only from a branch family. He's not even qualified to carry the Young Lord's shoes. How dare you think about fighting for the power of the head of the family? Whether the Young Lord is dead or not is not something a servant like you can decide. If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his corpse. The Young Lord is in prison, but you don't care about his life and only care about his death. You've caused chaos in my mansion. You deserve to be killed! "
When the words' deserve to be killed 'came out, a servant immediately stood up and walked forward with a knife.
"Execute him on the spot!" A fierce glint flashed across Wang Zhongquan's eyes.
"No, Head Chief, I've been following you for ten years. I've been loyal and conscientious, and I've made countless contributions. I've made countless contributions to the mansion. I'm a second-class servant, and I've made contributions to the mansion! You can't kill me! "The man's expression changed, and he shouted in fear.
"Contributions? Contributions don't depend on what you say. If the Young Lord says you've made contributions, then you've made contributions! The Young Lord is in trouble, but you don't want to share his burden. Instead, you want to support someone else and usurp the throne. Your death is not to be regretted. Kill! "Wang Zhongquan glared at him.
"No!"
Slash!
As the man cried out in fear, the martial arts servant behind him raised his knife and chopped off his head. Blood spurted three feet into the sky. Even at the moment of his death, fear flashed across the man's eyes.
Wang Zhongquan turned his head and looked at the other subordinates behind him. "From now on, if anyone dares to say that the Young Lord is dead and disturb the people's hearts, you'll end up like him!"
"Yes!" The group of servants trembled and replied respectfully.
Just as Wang Zhongquan was about to kill one to warn the others, a dignified voice suddenly came from the main tent.
"Who dares to act presumptuously outside This King's tent?" A man's angry voice came from the main tent.
The moment the angry voice came out, the military camp instantly fell silent. All the injured soldiers didn't dare to cry out. Only the sound of the wind and the gurgling sound of blood flowing from the headless corpse's neck could be heard.
A glimmer of hope flashed in Wang Zhongquan's eyes.
The sound of footsteps came from the main tent. A group of soldiers surrounded a man wearing a purple embroidered robe and stepped out of the main tent.
The man in the purple embroidered robe had a tall and sturdy figure. His eyes revealed a sense of superiority. When he stepped out, an imposing aura forced all the servants to lower their heads.
Wang Zhongquan withstood this arrogance. His eyes hid a hint of resentment as he said, "Dongfang Palace's first-grade housekeeper, Wang Zhongquan, greets the Fourth Prince!"
The man in the embroidered robe, the Fourth Prince, looked at the headless corpse at the side. Then, he turned his cold gaze to Wang Zhongquan and said, "Dongfang Palace's housekeeper? Do you know where this place is? Is the front of my main tent a place where you can act presumptuously? "
"Today, I used the Dongfang Palace's Golden Seal to deal with the traitor of my family, staining the Fourth Prince's main tent. In the future, the Young Lord will apologize to the Fourth Prince for my rudeness. "However, I, the Dongfang King's Golden Seal, am unable to enter the Fourth Prince's main tent. I hope that the Fourth Prince will give the Dongfang Palace an explanation in the future!" Wang Zhongquan raised the Golden Seal high up and said in a deep voice.
"How dare you!" "Presumptuous!"
The soldiers behind the Fourth Prince glared and shouted.
However, Wang Zhongquan raised the Golden Seal high up, unafraid of anyone.
The Fourth Prince looked at the Golden Seal and his face darkened. "The Dongfang King's Golden Seal can only be wielded by the descendants of the Dongfang Clan. You're just a servant who has been bestowed with the surname Wang. How dare you use the Golden Seal so casually? You're the audacious one! "
"Whether I'm audacious or not will be decided by the Dongfang Palace. It's not up to the Fourth Prince to punish me. Indeed, I'm not a descendant of the Wang Clan. However, I've been authorized by the House of Lords to guard the Golden Seal, so I have the right to do so. I and the Dongfang Palace will remember the Fourth Prince's trampling on the Golden Seal. I'll also remember the disaster that befell my Young Lord three days ago on behalf of the Young Lord! "Wang Zhongquan said with hatred on his face.
"Heh, do you think that I killed Wang Xiong?" The Fourth Prince asked coldly.
"My Young Lord is not dead. Moreover, I don't want to argue with the Fourth Prince now. This time, I'm here to seek an audience with the Southern Palace, Zhou Tianyin, Lady Zhou!" Wang Zhongquan looked at a lady in the crowd.
The lady was wearing a loose white chiffon dress. A thin belt accentuated her slender waist, accentuating her voluptuous figure. She wore a white chiffon bamboo hat on her head, obscuring her face. One could only vaguely see the outline of her face through the white chiffon. Even through the white chiffon, she still looked radiant.
"You're looking for me?" The lady frowned and asked in confusion.
The lady's voice was crisp and clear. Her voice was breathtaking, as though she was a peerless beauty who could not be touched.
Next to the lady stood a man in green.
The man in green looked at Wang Zhongquan in disgust. "A servant of the Dongfang Palace? Why are you looking for my sister? That sissy Wang Xiong is as weak as a chicken. How dare a toad lusting after a swan's flesh? He overestimated himself and died in the Sirius Valley. Do you still want my sister to avenge him? "
Wang Zhongquan looked at the man in green and his face darkened. He bowed slightly and said, "So it's Young Master Zhou Chi from the Southern Palace. Young Master Zhou is the brother-in-law of the Young Lord. You slandered my Young Lord. In the future, the Young Lord will look for you. As for you saying that the Young Lord is a toad lusting after a swan's flesh, heh, the Young Lord and Lady Zhou are engaged. Although they have not performed the ceremony of heaven and earth, the Human Emperor and the King of the Four Directions have witnessed it. No one can deny it. The Young Lord is in prison. If I don't look for A Young Lady, who else can I look for?"
"How dare you! My sister is the most beautiful woman in the Qin Kingdom. She was taught by a deity. How can that useless Wang Xiong compare to her? Wang Xiong is as stupid as a pig. As a man, he has a peach blossom mark on his forehead. My sister will never fall for him. This time, my sister has received the Emperor's order to ask the Fourth Prince to lead the army to find the Tomb Flower for my sister. Wang Xiong overestimated himself. In order to show off in front of my sister, he went deep into the Chaotic Land and sought his own death. He only has himself to blame. Why are you looking for my sister? She is dead. What marriage is there to talk about? "Zhou Chi glared at him.
Wang Zhongquan didn't argue with Zhou Chi. Instead, he looked at Zhou Tianyin and said, "A Young Lady, Young Master is in prison. Please help him, A Young Lady!"
Zhou Tianyin shook his head and said, "Steward Wang, I know you are eager to protect your master. However, I have never met Wang Xiong, nor have I performed the ceremony of heaven and earth. I am not A Young Lady. As for the marriage, it was just a joke made by the elders. Please don't mention it again! "
Wang Zhongquan's face darkened. But he still bowed to Zhou Tianyin respectfully again and said, "A Young Lady doesn't allow me to call you, so I will call you Lady Zhou first. Whether the marriage is a joke or not, it is not up to me to decide. Back then, Old Master was still alive, and my Dongfang Clan had not yet declined. However, your father asked the other two Lords of Lords to be the matchmaker and asked the Human Emperor to bestow a marriage between you and our Young Lord. Whether this marriage is valid or not, the Human Emperor and the Prince of the Four Directions are the witnesses. "
"Presumptuous! A toad lusting after swan meat? Are you crazy? Wang Xiong, that trash, wants to be a match for my sister? Dream on! "Zhou Chi glared at him and said angrily.
Wang Zhongquan ignored Zhou Chi and said again, "I know that bringing up the marriage now is somewhat taking advantage of the situation. However, the Old Slave really has no other choice. The Young Lord's life is uncertain. At this moment, only Lady Zhou can save the Young Lord. I beg Lady Zhou to help me!"
"Sister, ignore him. That Wang Xiong is already dead. The guards saw it with their own eyes. Wang Xiong was shot between the eyebrows. How could he survive? Moreover, it has been three days. The Wolf Valley is surrounded by wolves. I'm afraid Wang Xiong's bones are not left now! "Zhou Chi shouted immediately." If he is alive, I want to see him.
If he is dead, I want to see his corpse. Lady Zhou, for the sake of the engagement between you and the Young Lord, please save the Young Lord! "Wang Zhongquan said with sorrow.
Zhou Tianyin was silent for a while and said, "I'm very grateful that Wang Xiong hid in the army and wanted to pick the Tomb of the God of Sin Flower for me. However, Steward Wang, I guess your Dongfang Palace must have sent a large number of experts to break into the Wolf Valley these days. Even with the resources of Dongfang Palace, they can't enter. How can I, a little girl, help you?"
The Fourth Prince nodded and said, "That's right. The Tomb of the God of Sin Mountain Range is shrouded by an Innate Ferocious Divine Wind every once in a while. We were forced to retreat because of this Innate Ferocious Divine Wind. Who else can break in? Unless we wait for the Innate Ferocious Divine Wind to stop. Every time this Innate Ferocious Divine Wind appears, it will last for at most half a year or at least two months. If we wait patiently, This King will definitely help Dongfang Palace find Wang Xiong's corpse! "
Wang Zhongquan smiled coldly and said, "The Fourth Prince is really devoted to the Young Lord! When the Fourth Prince retreated from the Wolf Valley knowing the Young Lord's identity, he didn't bring my Young Lord with him. Hehe, I don't need the Fourth Prince's promise anymore! "
"Are you saying that This King did it on purpose?" The Fourth Prince stared at him.
Wang Zhongquan ignored him and looked at Zhou Tianyin and said, "Lady Zhou, the Innate Ferocious Divine Wind has formed a sandstorm barrier that we can't enter. However, the light of the Heavenly Eye can penetrate everything and reach the inside. Please, Lady Zhou, invite the Level Nine Heavenly Eye of the Southern Palace to shine its divine light into the Wolf Valley to search for and rescue the Young Lord. Please grant my request, Lady Zhou!"
"Level Nine Heavenly Eye?" Zhou Tianyin's voice paused.
"Do you think you can use the Zhou Family's Level Nine Heavenly Eye? What right does a dead piece of trash have to invite the Zhou Family's Level Nine Heavenly Eye? Dog, are you tired of living? "Zhou Chi stared at him.
The Fourth Prince was also puzzled.
"Lady Zhou, please save my Young Lord!" Wang Zhongquan knelt again.
Zhou Tianyin shook his head and said, "Only the Family Head can control the Heavenly Eye. How can I use the Level Nine Heavenly Eye? You've got the wrong person! "
"No, when the Old Master was still alive, he told the Old Slave that Lady Zhou has already obtained the Zhou Family's Heavenly Eye's approval. As long as Lady Zhou is willing, she can invite the Heavenly Eye to rescue the Young Lord!" Wang Zhongquan shook his head and said with a determined look.
"Nonsense! When did my sister obtain the approval of the Heavenly Eye? What is Dongfang King talking about? "Zhou Chi stared at him.
Zhou Tianyin was silent.
"Lady Zhou, no matter whether you admit it or not, you and the Young Lord are indeed engaged by the Human Emperor and the Four Kings. You are A Young Lady of Dongfang Palace. Dongfang Palace has encountered many misfortunes in recent years. The direct descendants of the Young Lord have died. If the Young Lord dies, no matter what the future of Dongfang Palace is, A Young Lady must go to Dongfang Palace to keep watch for the Young Lord for three years," Wang Zhongquan said Solemnly.
"How dare you! Do you want my sister to keep watch for that trash?" Zhou Chi stared at him angrily.
Zhou Tianyin also seemed to be a little annoyed. She stared at Wang Zhongquan through the veil.
Although there was an engagement, Zhou Tianyin had never seen Wang Xiong. Although Wang Xiong died for her, it was impossible for her to keep watch for him for three years.
"This is the etiquette of the Qin Kingdom. No one can break it!" Wang Zhongquan said coldly.
"What if I don't want to?" Zhou Tianyin said coldly.
"Lady Zhou, this is also the reason why I come to beg you. Before the Young Lord left, he left a letter for Lady Zhou to break off the engagement! In this way, Lady Zhou won't be embarrassed! "Wang Zhongquan said Solemnly.
"Oh? Break off the engagement? "Zhou Tianyin was a little surprised.
Wang Zhongquan carefully took out a letter and handed it to Zhou Tianyin respectfully.
Zhou Tianyin opened it with a little curiosity.
"A letter of divorce?" Zhou Tianyin said coldly.
"Let me see!"
Zhou Chi immediately grabbed the letter and read it. "Is it really a letter of divorce? How dare Wang Xiong insult my sister? "
"No, this is not Wang Xiong's handwriting. This is your Old Slave's handwriting?" The Fourth Prince squinted his eyes and said.
Everyone looked at Wang Zhongquan.
"It doesn't matter whose handwriting it is. It doesn't matter who wrote it. The Old Slave holds the seal of the Dongfang King. This letter of divorce is effective from now on!" Wang Zhongquan said in a low voice.
"Did you really write this letter of divorce on behalf of Wang Xiong? Stamping the seal on behalf of the master is a crime punishable by death. How dare you touch the golden seal? "Zhou Chi said in surprise.
"As long as we can save the Young Lord, the Old Slave's death is not to be regretted. However, even if the Old Slave dies, he must maintain the dignity of the Dongfang Palace and break off the engagement. This letter of divorce is the only way. Lady Zhou, do you want to go to the Dongfang Palace and keep a vigil for the Young Lord for three years, or do you want to save the Young Lord in exchange for freedom? "Wang Zhongquan bowed Solemnly.
The Fourth Prince and Zhou Chi's faces darkened. The rule of the Qin Kingdom was that the Golden Seal could not be used recklessly. If it was used recklessly, it would lead to death. This was the rule of the Human Kingdom of the Qin Kingdom. If Wang Zhongquan dared to use the golden seal privately, he would definitely die. However, for the last hope of Wang Xiong's survival, Wang Zhongquan was willing to risk everything? Such a loyal servant shocked the two of them.
"Lady Zhou, please grant my wish!" Wang Zhongquan knelt and kowtowed. His head knocked on the floor, making a loud noise.
The surroundings were silent. The letter of divorce returned to Zhou Tianyin's hand again.
Zhou Tianyin looked at the letter of divorce and was silent for a while. Then he said in a low voice, "Stamp the golden seal. I will ask the Heavenly Eye to shoot the Heavenly Wolf!"
