C289 The Battle for the Title of King

Daxuan Country Capital, Crown Prince's Palace.

Xuan Wuchen's face was gloomy. He had never thought that things would turn out like this.

Bin Lang and Zheng Jingyuan were also sitting beside him. Their faces were also gloomy.

According to the intel, King Chiang led 80,000 soldiers to attack Royal City of Qin Family. However, they were killed by the Qin army that had been prepared for this. In the end, only 10,000 of them managed to escape back to Royal City of Chiang Family.

Another reason why the Chiang family suffered such a great defeat was because there were 10 Spiritual Infant Stage warriors from the Qin Family as the vanguard. They charged into the Jiang army and killed a few of the major commanders of the Chiang family.

From then on, the Jiang army's fighting spirit was shattered, while the Qin army's fighting spirit was high. Naturally, the Qin army won the war.

However, all of this was not the most important thing in Xuan Wuchen's eyes.

The most important thing was that King Chiang retreated to the Royal City of Chiang Family. In the end, the one who killed them was not the Qin Family's army, but their own men, Ye Wuliang and the others!

According to the investigation done by many parties, after Ye Wuliang led his army to attack the Lin City, the defensive formation of the Lin City was activated once again. No one could see what was happening inside.

They only knew that Ye Wuliang had flown to the Royal City of Chiang Family with eight Spiritual Infant Stage warriors and started a frenzied massacre.

More than 150 of Chiang family's young and old people had died, but none of the ordinary people in Royal City of Chiang Family had died.

According to the rumors, Chiang Yuan and Chiang Wei had committed suicide. Before they died, they had set up a blood curse, and the one who had cursed them was none other than the Crown Prince, Xuan Wuchen.

If Chiang Yuan and Chiang Wei hadn't caused such a huge commotion before they died, they would have cursed the Crown Prince. Then, he could completely dismiss this matter. After all, Ye Wuliang and the others couldn't be found now. No one could prove that this was his order.

But in the current situation, he had to find a suitable reason to give an explanation to the outside world.

Especially those Heterosexual King. After this incident, each and every one of them was trembling with fear. They were afraid that they would be the next Royal City of Chiang Family.

How to comfort them was a huge problem.

Also, there was a need to give an explanation to the Ancestor.

He knew very well that this matter must be the work of Lin Yue once again.

Last time, his subordinate, Wu Di, was also turned into a puppet by Lin Yue. After that, he suddenly exploded next to him, almost causing him to die.

Ye Wuliang and the others must have been controlled by Lin Yue as well.

However, no one would believe such words.

Because no one would believe that a Spiritual Infant Stage warrior could control the mind of a Void Breaking Stage warrior.

"Crown Prince..." Zheng Jingyuan said, "Someone from the Duke of Qin's side is already at the Ancestor's place."

Xuan Wuchen sneered, "He even sent someone to seek justice after getting an advantage. What a good method!"

After all, it was the Chiang family who initiated the attack on the Qin Family, and they had even deployed eighty thousand troops to eliminate Qin City. This was a violation of the law of Daxuan Country.

According to the rules, King Chiang had to be removed from his position and demoted to a civilian.

However, since King Chiang and his family members had all died tragically, there was no such thing as punishment.

Although the Ancestor didn't like the Duke of Qin, he couldn't make the rest of Heterosexual King's heart go cold. He had to uphold justice for the Qin Family.

"I never thought that the strength of Lin City would be so terrifying. It seems like we have underestimated Lin Yue."

Zheng Jingyuan sighed.

His heart ached. Ye Wuliang had five Void-breaking Expert and twenty Spiritual Infant Stage warriors, and that was a huge force. He never thought that it would disappear just like that!

Furthermore, he could only grit his teeth and swallow this matter down.

Now, he didn't dare to have any thoughts about the Lin City, unless he sent a million strong army to wipe out the entire Lin City.

However, this kind of large-scale mobilization required the orders of the Ancestor.

Xuan Wuchen nodded his head in dismay. He had to admit that Lin Yue's strength was indeed greater than what he had imagined.

This strength didn't refer to Lin Yue's cultivation, but the resources and power he possessed.

No wonder the Pill Sect didn't make a move on Lin City. Apart from maintaining their strength to deal with the Devil Tribulation, they were also afraid that Lin City would be too powerful. If they used force, they would suffer double the loss.

"After this matter, I'm afraid that Royal Father will be disappointed in me again." Xuan Wuchen suddenly felt very irritated, "Don't you think this matter is very strange? Our plan... Lin Yue, Qin Zheng, and the others all know about it, and they have made sufficient preparations!"

"I have thought about this as well. There must be a traitor among us."

Zheng Jingyuan said hatefully, "I will find a way to find him and shred him into a thousand pieces!"

Xuan Wuchen shook his head after hearing that.

"The Crown Prince is too benevolent. He will definitely kill such a person."

Zheng Jingyuan said.

"Not only him, but also all his family and friends!" Xuan Wuchen said coldly.

Because of the existence of this traitor, they had suffered heavy losses, and the situation was extremely awkward and passive.

The Ancestor was already very dissatisfied with the matter of him framing Lee Shangwu. Initially, he wanted to make it look better this time, but he didn't expect it to be messed up again.

The Ancestor had nine sons, and none of them were easy to deal with, especially Second Prince and Xuan Wuyu. They had secretly colluded with various major powers and posed a huge threat to him.

Now that he had returned to the capital, he didn't expect that the first thing he did would become like this. It was truly depressing.

Therefore, this traitor must die along with all his family members in order to vent the anger in his heart.

"Crown Prince, the Ancestor invites you in. All the important ministers of the court are here as well." A servant walked up and said respectfully.

Xuan Wuchen glanced at Zheng Jingyuan and said, "You go back first and investigate the matter of the traitor."

"Yes, my lord." Zheng Jingyuan said respectfully and left.

Xuan Wuchen tidied his clothes, adjusted his condition, and walked outside.

Since something had happened, he had to think of a way to deal with it.

"Chen'er, how do you explain this?" In the great hall, the Ancestor sat on the Dragon Throne, playing with the Green Jade Ring in his hand. No one could tell what he was feeling right now.

On both sides of the great hall, there were officials of the middle grade, as well as princes.

One of them was kneeling on the ground. He should be someone sent by Qin Zheng.

"May I know what Royal Father is talking about?" Xuan Wuchen looked puzzled, "I have been focusing on my cultivation recently, so I don't know anything about the outside world."

A trace of disdain flashed across Xuan Wuyu's eyes, but he was also impressed. It was not easy for him to act like this even though he had already reached this stage.

"Oh, then Wuyu, tell him about it." The Ancestor's words didn't carry a trace of emotion.

Xuan Wuyu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Royal Father to let him talk about it. He didn't know why.

However, according to the actual situation, he still explained it in a simple and clear manner. However, when Chiang Yuan and Chiang Wei mentioned the curse, he explained it in more detail and the exact words.

After all, this wasn't a secret. The civilians of Royal City of Chiang Family had heard it, and many outsiders had also heard it clearly.

"This King Chiang is so ungrateful. He must be controlled by some despicable person. Or perhaps... Threatened. " Xuan Wuchen said angrily, "I have never had any grudges with King Chiang. Why would I send someone to kill him? Someone must have framed me! Besides, killing King Chiang won't do me any good. I have no reason to kill him. "

Some of the people in the court nodded their heads. According to their understanding, the Crown Prince had no motive to kill King Chiang.

"What you said makes sense. You can't just use a few curses to prove that the murderer was sent by you." The Ancestor said, "I'll give you ten days to investigate this matter thoroughly and give everyone an explanation."

"Yes." Xuan Wuchen felt relieved in his heart.

Ten days was enough for him to come up with a suitable reason.

"There is one more thing. When King Chiang was alive, he once led 80,000 soldiers. Attacking the Royal City of Qin Family has already violated the law of our Daxuan Country, and according to the law, he should be demoted to a commoner. Another thing, King Chiang. However, since the Jiang family has been destroyed, there are no other candidates left. What do you all think? " The Ancestor said.

Chen Wuxuan understood. He believed that the next step would be to discuss how to deal with the matters of Royal City of Chiang Family.

After all, Chiang family still had millions of people. They couldn't afford to lose a master for a single day. Otherwise, it would be chaotic.

The best solution was naturally to confer another title to Heterosexual King.

However, at this time, it was hard for him to say anything. After all, the Ancestor didn't want to hold him accountable anymore. If he recommended another person to confer the title to Heterosexual King, he was afraid that the Ancestor wouldn't like it.

Therefore, it was better for him to remain silent on this matter.

The other ministers started recommending him one after another. This kind of opportunity to have a fiefdom as king was extremely rare.

This was because after establishing the Daxuan for so many years, the land had already been divided and could not be sealed.

Now that there was finally an empty piece of land, everyone naturally wanted to obtain the greatest benefits from it.

Everyone was arguing with each other, and for a moment, they were in a deadlock.

"Ancestor, this old official feels that the current title of King of the opposite sex is very sensitive. No matter who it is, it will cause others to be dissatisfied." An old man said.

This person was Left Prime Minister Yu Shibo, and his influence in the Imperial Court was extremely great.

"Oh, what suggestions do you have?" The Ancestor asked.

"Since King Chiang has led his army to attack Royal City of Qin Family, it means that he has made a huge mistake. Now that King Chiang's family has been destroyed, why don't we hand Royal City of Chiang Family over to the Duke of Qin to manage? This can also be considered as compensation to the Duke of Qin."

Yu Shibo said, "All these years, after Qin Zheng ascended the throne, he has been working diligently in government affairs. The people in the city are happy to live in peace and praise him. I believe that he will be able to rule the Royal City of Chiang Family well."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell silent and started discussing in low voices.

This method was not bad. The Duke of Qin was the closest to the Royal City of Chiang Family, and they were both in the Ox Fighting Region. It was convenient to manage it.

However, in this way, the Duke of Qin had gotten a big bargain.

Everyone knew that Yu Shibo had never had any friendly relationship with the Duke of Qin. Now that he said such a thing, it was really thought-provoking.

If they were to stand on the side of fairness, it would be very reasonable for the Duke of Qin to rule the Royal City of Chiang Family.

The person sent by Qin Zheng was kneeling on the ground, his head pressed against the ground, and he didn't dare to speak a word.

Everyone in this hall was an extremely noble person. How could a small figure like him have the right to speak?

His eyes lit up when he heard Yu Shibo's words.1

It would be great if the Ancestor could really bestow the Royal City of Chiang Family to the Duke of Qin.

"Prime Minister Zuo's words make sense. However, the Duke of Qin is merely a prince. He can rule the Royal City of Qin Family. It is already very difficult for him. If he manages the Royal City of Chiang Family again, I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything. On the contrary, both sides have been delayed. " At this moment, a voice sounded.
