He used his eldest son's original body as a skin for Narutian, so in the past ten years, he indulged and doted on his eldest son, hoping to relieve the guilt in his heart.
Few people know about Zhong Shengguang's ambition and belief. Not to mention the civilians in Panlong Wasteland, not many senior officials in Panlong City understand it.
To fight against Bejia and the Gods, Zhong Shengguang cannot do it alone. He must gather the power of millions of people in Panlong Wasteland and Maohe Plain.
This road is difficult and dangerous, and there is no precedent for success. Zhong Shengguang must have known that his decision would lead these millions of people into a longer and more cruel war.
So before the real war comes, the people of Panlong Wasteland should enjoy peace and prosperity, dignity and confidence.
Even if such good times don't last long, at least we once had them.
Perhaps this is Zhong Shengguang's compensation for the kind-hearted and ignorant people?
He Lingchuan sighed secretly in his heart.
Everyone is responsible for their own choices and persistence. This may be the inner demons and pain that Zhong Shengguang must bear alone.
While the chicken was cooking, He Lingchuan asked about the current situation of Panlong City, only to learn that Panlong Wasteland had welcomed many new residents.
Seven or eight great demons led their descendants and moved to the wasteland.
"Like the wasteland elephant?"
"That's just one of them." Sun Fuling said with a smile, "Many tribes are moving in from the west and south. Panlong City is struggling with how to settle them."
"Why did so many people come suddenly?"
"The water and soil here have improved, and they can support more people." Sun Fuling lamented, "The emperor has come, but their hometown is still poor and weak. If the trees are moved to death, the people will be moved to live, and everyone is willing to go to a better place."
The stability and increasing prosperity of Panlong Wasteland will certainly attract the surrounding creatures.
Although Panlong City does not reach out to the south, it cannot stop the people from the south from wanting to come.
"As for the big demons who migrated here, some received invitations from Commander Zhong, and some came here on their own." Most of the big demons have high-end combat capabilities, and they are willing to join. Of course, Panlong City will accept all comers, "
It's a pity that monsters like Zhu Erniang who bring their own products are too rare."
"How did Commander Zhong persuade them?"
Sun Fuling shrugged: "I don't know then. But your kestrel told me that because of the defeat of the Baling and Xianyou coalition forces, Panlong City is now very famous outside."
Not to mention humans, monsters also want to be strong. Strong local forces can attract powerful combat forces to join them.
This is the principle of the strong always becoming stronger.
He Lingchuan sighed: "Panlong City is finally strong."
As far as he knew, Panlong City in real history was squeezed by all parties, persisted for thirty-two years, and died of exhaustion; but here, Zhong Shengguang and Panlong City have opened up a new situation and achieved vigorous development.
Opportunity.
So far, everything seems to be going well.
This is the watershed between history and reality.
And does this mean that Panlong City will have the opportunity to write a new history and embark on a path that is completely different from reality?
He was very excited and looking forward to it.
At this moment, he heard another guest at the table next to him talking: "The new king has summoned us, why don't we go back? We are still from Shiluo."
The new king? He Lingchuan keenly captured the key words.
"Are you stupid?" His companion was chewing chicken feet and almost knocked the chicken bones on his head. "We were going back two years ago, but the Xilao Kingdom didn't let us go back! The Gale Army was halfway there, and they were
The king has come back after repeated orders!"
"No, hey, my father passed away five years ago. Before he died, he still wanted to go back to his hometown."
The companion shook his head: "Silly! You see, people in the south still want to escape and come to Panlong. Do you really want to make room for others?"
This topic is poisonous. Once it is started, the surrounding diners are talking about it. He Lingchuan then asked Sun Fuling: "I have been away for half a year, what kind of trouble has happened in the West Luo Kingdom?"
Sun Fuling looked at the guests and sighed: "You just came back. I wanted to have a happy meal with you first."
"As soon as I saw you, I was naturally happy. This meal is just the icing on the cake." He Lingchuan smiled, "Let me tell you, I can bear it."
"Half a month after you set out for the Golden Flash Plains, things changed in the Kingdom of Xilao. The originally unpopular second prince rebelled and seized power, successfully ascended the throne, and placed the old monarch under house arrest."
Shall I go and usurp power? He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows. This change happened so quickly. The process was as short as that of the collapse of the country of Wei.
Of course, the Kingdom of Xiluo was not destroyed yet, it just changed its king.
"After the second prince came to the throne, he sent two decrees to Panlong City, ordering us to return the previously conquered territory of Xianyou and the territory of the two small countries to the west, and to set the bell to command the envoys to return home."
The diners on the side also heard it and interjected: "Yeah, I don't know what the mother country thinks. They can't help us at all; they want to use the territory we have conquered to be good people.
"
He Lingchuan took a sip of chicken soup: "Panlong City is expanding its territory here. What does it have to do with the West Luo Kingdom?"
Since there is a Kingdom of Jin in the middle, the connection between Xiluo and Panlong City is very weak. The former old king knew after trying twice that he could not command Panlong City at all.
He recalled his deputy commander once, but the second time he summoned him, Panlong City remained unmoved.
As for Zhong Shengguang, He Lingchuan was very clear about his aspirations, or ambitions. After being extremely disappointed with the Silla Kingdom, Zhong Shengguang looked at the world and investigated Bejia. How could he look down on the weak Silla again?
Now there is a change in the Xilao Kingdom, and the new king is dictating Panlong City as soon as he takes office. This is unusual.
Whether Panlong City is asked to vomit out the land or Zhong Shengguang is asked to return home, Panlong City cannot comply with the order.
So what is the significance of these two edicts issued by Xinjun Xiluo?
He Lingchuan could smell some bad intentions.
He immediately thought of Bega.
The surrounding countries are still insignificant, and only Panlong City has grown against the trend in recent years. It has defeated Bega's conspiracy several times, and now it is radiating outwards with Panlong Wasteland as the center, becoming unstoppable.
Today, Panlong City's territory has expanded rapidly and is already half the size of Xilao. It seems to be the overlord of this continent.
The old strategy of hiding among small countries, hiding from the mountains and rivers, quietly developing and strengthening itself, no longer works, just like an elephant cannot hide itself in the bushes.
Panlong City is probably already a thorn in Bejia's side.
The weak Shiluo Kingdom is territorially bordered by Bega. For Bega, isn't it the easiest doll to control?
Sun Fuling added: "The second decree is to increase taxes on Panlong City, requiring that starting from this year, the taxes paid will be increased by another 60%."
She added a piece of trivia to He Lingchuan: "Actually, after Panlongcheng and Xiro restored contact, they have been paying taxes in China."
