Chapter 18: The Confident Zhao Family, Lu Bu Comes(1/2)
Northwest Frontier.
Jicheng.
The northwest of the Daxia Dynasty was the border between Cangzhou and Jianzhou, and was adjacent to the Korean Dynasty in Jianzhou.
But to be precise.
The Korean Dynasty only occupied two-thirds of the northwest border of the Daxia Dynasty.
The other third is the dividing line with Yongzhou.
As for Jicheng, it is located at the junction of Cangzhou, Jianzhou and Yongzhou. Its geographical location is extremely important!
Moreover, this place is relatively close to Central China, and the aura is quite rich.
It can be said that it is the aura of heaven and earth, strangling the throat of Daxia!
Except for the four major checkpoints of Daxia, the remaining cities were guarded by a civilian official and a military general sent by the imperial court to serve as city lord and guard.
As for Jicheng, it was originally guarded by an official at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage and a general at the first level of the Transformation Stage.
But the night before yesterday.
The Wang family, the number one family in Jicheng, united with the number one sect on the northwest border, the Zhan Dao Sect, and several aristocratic families in the northwest to suddenly attack the city lord's mansion!
The city lord at the ninth level of Nascent Soul Stage and the generals guarding the city at the first level of the Transformation God Stage were stained with blood in the sky and were killed by the swords of two Transformation Stage players from the Wang Family and Zhan Dao Sect!
Jicheng changed hands in an instant, and the situation changed drastically!
Immediately afterwards, the two big cities closer to Jicheng fell one after another!
The three cities are controlled by the Wang family, Zhan Daozong and the Zhao family, another powerful family on the northwest border!
As for Jicheng, after discussion among the three parties, it will be temporarily controlled by the Wang family!
at this time!
Jicheng is extremely lively!
The Wang family, Zhan Dao Sect, Zhao family, and the five aristocratic sects that participated in the capture of the city, and strong men from all directions gathered together.
A celebration banquet was held in Jicheng!
Due to the change of ownership in Jicheng, many aristocratic families who originally lived in Jicheng were forced to do so.
Although I was worried, I could only temporarily surrender to the Wang family's power and send someone to congratulate me!
At this time, in the city lord's mansion.
The Wang family held a grand banquet, bringing out countless Ganoderma lucidum fruits, monster spirit flesh, and centuries-old wine to entertain the powerful from all sides.
"Coarse tea and light dishes, poor hospitality, please do as you please!"
Wang Bao, the head of the Wang family, once stood up and took charge, he was very proud of himself and greeted everyone with a smile on his face.
"No, no, Brother Wang is so polite!"
"If these fairy mushrooms and linggu are called mussels, if we live for hundreds of years, we won't even be able to afford mussels!"
"That's right! Brother Wang now takes the initiative and becomes the lord of this Jicheng City. He is free and at ease without being under the jurisdiction of King Fu Xia. It really makes us envious!"
"I would like to propose a toast to Brother Wang, and wish the Wang family a prosperous future!"
Everyone complimented him one after another and looked flattering.
Now that the Wang family controls a city and breaks away from Daxia, they have done something that many of them would not dare to do.
Nowadays, the Xia Palace is in turmoil and has too much time to take care of itself.
Maybe in the future, the Wang family and Zhan Dao Sect will have the final say in the northwest region. Then everyone will act based on the Wang family's face, so they will be extremely polite.
I just want to look familiar in Wang Bao's eyes so that it will be easier for me in the future.
Seeing this, the smile on Wang Bao's face became even stronger.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
"Everyone is welcome, Mr. Wang has important matters to attend to, so he will not accompany you for now. I will come back to have a drink with you later!"
Everyone stood up and held their hands.
"Brother Wang, you're welcome!"
"That's right. Brother Wang, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. It doesn't matter to us!"
"..."
After exchanging greetings with everyone, Wang Bao turned around and walked out of the hall, heading towards a mansion in the back.
Boom, boom, boom!
Wang Bao knocked on the door, and an old voice suddenly came from the room.
"come in!"
Wang Bao pushed the door open and walked in. The look on his face instantly faded, becoming restrained and respectful!
I saw three old men in rich clothes and two dignified middle-aged men sitting in the mansion.
Astonishingly, it was the three parties involved in seizing the city and causing rebellion, the Wang family, Zhan Daozong and the Zhao family!
"How is it being handled outside?"
Seeing Wang Bao walking in, Wang Jianlin, the ancestor of the Wang family, spoke.
His voice is old, but his aura is extremely deep. He is the only strong person in the Zhao family who is in the God Transformation stage and has a cultivation level of the second level of the God Transformation Realm!
"Third brother is entertaining outside, nothing will happen!" Wang Bao said respectfully.
"Um!"
Wang Jianlin nodded slightly and said: "At this time, don't make any mistakes!"
"Yes!" Wang Bao nodded respectfully.
"Brother Wang, are you sure King Xia won't send anyone here?"
At this time, the old man in purple robe sitting on the right looked at Wang Jianlin and asked with some worry.
He is the ancestor of the Zhao family, Zhao Yi, an old monster at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
The middle-aged man standing behind him is Zhao Wuji, the contemporary head of the Zhao family.
Like Wang Bao, the head of the Wang family, and Lin Jie, the head of the Zhan Dao Sect, they are both at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
"Brother Zhao, don't worry. At this time, there is civil strife in the Xia Palace. Prince Qin Wuhen has just ascended the throne. He himself has too much time to take care of himself. How can he have time to pay attention to us?"
Wang Jianlin shook his head and said with a firm tone.
The Supreme Elder of Zhan Dao Sect, the old man with tied hair sitting in the middle, frowned slightly and said: "Brother Wang, how did you convince the general who defended the city at the second northwest gate?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yi also looked at Wang Jianlin with a confused look on his face.
To this day, they still can't believe that Jicheng was captured so smoothly.
It’s been two days, and there’s been no movement from the guard at the Second Northwest Pass!
It’s really incredible!
"Brother Lin, Brother Zhao, now that the matter has come to an end, I won't hide it from you anymore!"
Wang Jianlin looked at the two of them and said: "You may not know that there is civil strife in the Xia Palace, and both the right minister Dongfang Haoran and the general Nangong Aotian have fallen!"
"It is precisely because of this that Prince Qin Wuhen successfully ascended the throne!"
"What?!"
The Supreme Elder of Zhan Dao Sect and Zhao Yi were immediately shocked!
"When did it happen? Why didn't we know?" asked the Supreme Elder of Zhan Dao Sect.
"Two days ago!"
Wang Jianlin said: "It is said that he was killed in the Xia Palace by a master beside the prince!"
"Two days ago..."
The Supreme Elder of Zhan Dao Sect murmured, his face in a daze.
Right Prime Minister Dongfang Haoran, General Nangong Aotian!
For these remote sects like them, they are all characters who only exist in legends, and just hearing their names can scare them!
Even though they are both in the God Transformation Realm, they are both strong men in the late stage of the God Transformation Realm, while he is only a small one in the first level of the God Transformation Realm. The gap is like a chasm!
Unexpectedly, such a person also fell...
wrong!
The Supreme Elder of Zhan Dao Sect was suddenly shocked and said: "Beheaded by the masters next to the prince?"
He stared at Wang Jianlin closely: "Since there is such a strong person beside the prince, how come he can't put down the civil strife?"
"Now that the prince has ascended the throne, when he frees up his hands and stabilizes his power, won't we die without a burial place?"
To be continued...
