"Is that really true?" Ling Shuang looked at Tang Yin in shock.

Tang Yin said faintly: "The roaming troops and bandits are no different now. For the sake of survival, for the sake of money, one can do anything."

Hearing his words, Ling Shuang's heart immediately became a lot more at ease. His face also revealed a smile, and after smiling sweetly at Tang Yin, he said: "Thank you, Royal Brother."

Tang Yin was baffled: "Sister Wang, what are you thanking me for?"

Ling Shuang laughed and did not say a word.

Not long after, Feng Yu's army led by Tang Yin and arrived at the Zeping County Chang City. Reaching here would also mean that Tang Yin and Ling Shuang would have to go their separate ways. In the evening, the local Feng Country officials held a banquet at the County Head Palace and welcomed the two rulers, Tang Yin and Ling Shuang.

The current County Head's name was Wang Song, and was born the orthodox of the people. In the past, when the county leaders of Feng Country were sent to the Mo Country, they immediately became Acting County Head. It was rare for him to have a chance to interact with the King. Wang Song appeared to be exceptionally attentive, as he surrounded Tang Yin from both sides, busying himself nonstop.

During the banquet, Wang Song had praised and flattered him as much as he could, and had almost turned Tang Yin into a peerless Wise King that did not exist in the world. Everyone liked hearing nice words, Tang Yin was no exception. He was happy, and naturally drank a lot more wine.

However, Tang Yin knew how to restrain himself, and he was also good at self-control. He knew how much alcohol he could drink, and when he felt that he was about to be drunk, no matter what the people around him advised him, he would not take another sip.

Seeing that the King was enjoying her drink, Wang Song, who was sitting beside him, was so happy that his mouth couldn't close. Taking advantage of Tang Yin's happiness, he moved closer to Tang Yin mysteriously and whispered: "Great King, this humble subject has prepared a gift for you."

"Oh? "What gift?" Tang Yin laughed and said.

"Your Majesty will know when you see it. This humble subject guarantees that Your Majesty will like it." Wang Song said confidently, then he ordered his attendants to bring the gifts he prepared earlier.

Tang Yin smiled, looked at Ling Shuang beside him, and said half jokingly: "I will not take ordinary things seriously. Also, do not give this to my beautiful lady.

He laughed again.

However, she was actually very happy. In the past, Tang Yin would not say that he was his wife in front of everyone, but now, it seemed that he was starting to accept his.

Not long after, Wang Song's servants returned, two people, each of them holding a big Brocade Box. The two of them walked over to Wang Song and respectfully placed the Brocade Box on the ground.

Tang Yin smiled, he lowered his eyes and sized up the two Brocade Box and asked: "There shouldn't be gold inside right?"

Wang Song's face turned serious, and said: "Great King, this is a treasure that is even more precious than gold." While speaking, he got up and personally opened the two Brocade Box s.

Ling Shuang was also very curious, what kind of treasure did Wang Song give Tang Yin in secret? She stretched out her neck, looked at the Brocade Box, and almost laughed out on the spot.

It turned out that the Brocade Box was holding two black iron balls, which had never been tempered before. They looked very rough, and its uneven surface could clearly be seen. To call it a treasure was simply a joke as it was completely useless. Even if it were placed at home, it would make people feel that it was unsightly.

After Tang Yin finished reading, his sword-like eyebrows twitched, and he asked: "Master Wang, what the hell is this? Are you joking with This King? "

"Your Majesty, how could this humble subject dare to joke with Your Majesty?" He took a deep breath and said to Tang Yin: "Your Majesty, do not underestimate these two things. These are cold iron that fell from the sky, they are extremely hard, and they are also very spiritual, to Spirit Cultivator, they are rare materials that can be used to make weapons. Many people would use ten thousand taels of gold to buy fist-sized cold iron but would not be able to do so!"

The cold iron he was talking about was actually meteoric iron. The meteorites fell from the sky and were mostly incinerated, while the rest of the people called the cold iron. They believed that it was because the cold air was too strong, so it was not melted by the heavenly fire.

However, it was easier to fuse cold iron with spirit energy. After completing the Spirit Materialization of Weapon, it could greatly reduce the consumption of spirit energy in the Spirit Cultivator, so cold iron had become the dream treasure of the Spirit Cultivator.

This was the first time Tang Yin had seen this kind of thing called cold iron. After hearing Wang Song's words, his eyes instantly lit up, received the steel ball from Wang Song's hands, held it up with one hand, and looked through it repeatedly as he muttered: "So, this is cold iron ?"

He played with it for a while and suddenly released some spiritual energy into the iron ball. The moment he poured spiritual energy into the ball, it began to shine with a blinding light. The amount of spirit energy Tang Yin poured in was not much, but it had such an effect. Ostensibly, the rumors were true, the cold iron was indeed able to perfectly fuse with the spirit energy. Soon, he retrieved the spiritual energy. Looking at the ugly and rough iron ball in his hand, he was unable to let go of it.

He had yet to go through any forging process and yet already had such an effect. If he were to create his own dual blades in the future, his might could be imagined. The more Tang Yin thought about it, the more excited he became, and his eyes shone brightly.

Just by looking at Tang Yin's expression, Wang Song already knew that the gift he prepared had moved the King, but he still pretended to be confused and asked: "What does the King think about the two pieces of Frost Iron?"

"Not bad, not bad at all!" Tang Yin played with it for a while longer before placing it back inside the Brocade Box. He then curiously asked Wang Song: "Where did you find such a precious item?"

Wang Song said in all seriousness: "The King is wise and wise, everyone has their own wishes. Of course there will be people willing to take out treasures and offer them to the King, this humble subject is only offering flowers to the Buddha, I do not dare take credit."

Tang Yin had only asked him where the Coldsteel came from, yet he managed to come up with such a huge piece of rubbish. However, Tang Yin was smart enough to not ask any further, as there was a high possibility that it was obtained by Wang Song from some place within the Zeping County.2

He waved to Ah San who was standing by his side, signalling the two to put away the two Brocade Box s, and then said to Wang Song: "Although the treasures were gifted to me by others, but you must not treat me unfairly, and should be heavily rewarded."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Great King is right, I will send someone to deliver the gift tomorrow. " Wang Song anxiously cupped his hands and replied.

"Yes!" Tang Yin thought that he was clever, he smiled and nodded, then looked up and down at Wang Song. He did not look too impressive, but he was actually quite scheming, and was very clear about his preferences. He asked, "Does Master Wang have a safe life in the Zeping County?"

Wang Song was elated, and said: "Thanks to you, your majesty, everything is fine now, it's just that ? "That's right ?" As he spoke, he revealed a troubled expression and stammered as he did not finish his words.

He knew that these two pieces of Frost Iron wouldn't be given to him for nothing. Tang Yin snickered in his heart, raised his head and said: "If Master Wang has anything that's difficult to say, please say it in person."

Wang Song no longer hesitated and said: "The Zeping County have suffered from the war and have been in great danger. Ever since this humble subject took control of the County Head, they have stabilized the situation in this county. Now, everything is fine, there are no rebel soldiers in the county.

"Oh, so that's how it is." It was human nature to miss home after leaving home for a distance of a thousand miles. Tang Yin nodded in understanding and asked: "Do you have any intentions of returning to your hometown in Master Wang?"

"No, no, no, this humble subject knows that now is the time for the King to make use of her servants. If you throw away the matter of Zeping County just because I want to go home, then it would truly be unbefitting of the King's kindness."

Tang Yin thought for a while, then asked: "Since Master Wang doesn't want to leave the Zeping County, then why not bring your family over?"

This question was the right one, Wang Song turned a corner, waiting for Tang Yin to ask this. In here, he was a dignified County Head. If he were to return to Feng Country, he could only be the county governor, with a huge gap between them.

He revealed a troubled expression and said: "This humble subject has thought of accepting my family's Zeping County, just that, this humble subject's current position in County Head is only temporary, I do not know when I will be transferred back to your family. The expenses are huge, and I will not live for long, it is not worth it!"

Tang Yin finally understood what Wang Song meant. After saying so much, he wanted to get rid of the title of 'Substitute County Head' with the word 'Substitute', and instead settle down to being the best in the world.

If he had directly suggested it to Tang Yin, with Tang Yin's personality, he would definitely agree to it. But when he spoke in this roundabout way, Tang Yin felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, as if Tang Yin had thought of him as an idiot.

Tang Yin responded indifferently, and said ambiguously: "I will mention this matter to Prime Minister Shangguan, whether or not Master Wang is suitable to become County Head, will depend on Master Wang's performance and accomplishments."

"Yes, yes, yes!" This humble subject will definitely work even harder and will not disappoint my king! " Wang Song kowtowed again and again, looking extremely terrified, even Ling Shuang could not help but burst out laughing.

Tang Yin was amused, he waved his hand and said: "Master Wang does not need to be so courteous, quickly go and sit back down to eat!"

"Thank you, your majesty!"

After the banquet, Tang Yin and Ling Shuang went to the Tavern residence. On the way, Ling Shuang asked: Royal Brother, this Master Wang is very quick-witted, but why do I feel that he doesn't seem to like him?

Tang Yin laughed and asked: "Sister Wang, can you tell that I don't like him?"

"Isn't it?"

Tang Yin shrugged and said: "I like people who are straightforward and honest."

Ling Shuang was startled, she then sighed and shook her head: "Looks like I gave Master Wang this gift for nothing."
