Chapter 446 - Vibrating Dragon City

That night, Old Liang and Xiang Jinghong stayed at Qingming Peak for the night. Early the next morning, Xiang Jinghong bid Xiang Yun farewell.

Xiang Yun naturally wanted to keep him here for a while longer. However, Xiang Jinghong had said that military matters were urgent and could not be delayed. Xiang Yun felt helpless and could only bid his farewells.

Before leaving, Xiang Yun handed over a storage ring that contained tens of thousands of middle-grade Cloud Crystals, as well as some cloud artifacts and magic formations to Xiang Jinghong.

Xiang Jinghong had originally wanted to delay this, but Xiang Yun's words had caused him to give up on this idea!

Hearing this, Xiang Jinghong's eyes reddened slightly. Without saying a word, he kept the storage ring and patted Xiang Yun's shoulder forcefully. He then mounted his horse and galloped off in the direction south of Qingming Peak!

Looking at Xiang Jinghong's back as it swiftly disappeared into the forest, Xiang Yun felt deeply moved. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

He thought back to when he was still a hooligan waiting for his second generation to die. Back then, he always thought that time was of the essence and that the world was peaceful. Unbeknownst to him, his family members were carrying heavy burdens while walking forward for him …

Now that he had grown up, he also wanted to be the giant who walked at the forefront, carrying a heavy load. It was time to do something for them.

"Dragon City, wait for me!"

As soon as the news was spread out, it spread like wildfire through the Dragon City. All the commoners, maids and concubines, and concubines knew about this.

A rock caused a thousand ripples. For a time, the entire Dragon City was like a calm lake that had been thrown into a giant rock.

"Have you heard, that third prince, he's going back to the Dragon City again?"

"Ah, which third prince are you talking about?"

"Who else could it be? Of course it's the third son of the King, the Dragon City's Twin Devils!"

"Of course it's reliable. This news is known by the entire Dragon City."

I need to hurry back to the manor and make sure that my wife and daughters don't leave the manor for even half a step. Oh right, don't let the maidservants leave the manor either.

"Right, right, that's right. Quickly return to the manor and instruct me. During this period of time, I must live in seclusion!"

Whether it was the common people's home, or the descendants of officials, or the families of n.o.bles, in order to deal with this tyrannical and notorious crown prince, all of these women were hidden in the mansion, afraid that they would show their faces and 'provoke' the fiend who was about to arrive.

It was the complete opposite of the uneasy atmosphere of facing a great enemy.

The entire Dragon City was filled with entertainment venues, casinos, brothels, and other places. The moment they heard that His Highness, the 3rd Prince, was about to take over Dragon City, they were immediately filled with joy and were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with joy.

All sorts of banners and placards were hung in the most eye-catching positions, such as "Welcome back Your Highness the Crown Prince", "Waiting for the Crown Prince to return from his travels", "Celebrating all the heavens and earth, the return of the Twin Evil Kings of Dragon City", and "The Crown Prince has 50% discount on his personal benefits".

In the study in the inner courtyard of the Southern City in Dragon City, in the residence of the Military Department's Minister Han Fang Bai, sat Han Fang Bai. The one at the bottom was a middle-aged man with narrow eyes and black hair that stood erect with a wooden hairpin.

The man had a well-proportioned body and was not tall. However, even though he was sitting on a bench, his body was still straight. One could tell that he was extremely well-built.

The two of them sat together. Han Fang Bai picked up a cup of tea and frowned. He then put it down on the table with force, making a 'bang' sound. In the quiet room, the sound was very sudden!

"I can see with my own eyes that the entire northwest side has fallen into a vast beast tide. However, the beast tide has suddenly retreated and Silver City is completely safe and sound. What a pity, how hateful!"

The square-faced man also had a sullen face as he said, "Minister Han, no one expected this. This is a compet.i.tion between the great powers on the mountain, and in their eyes, we are like ants, impossible to predict."

Han Fang's face was still filled with regret. This time, he was ordered to stand guard at the entrance. He thought he could see the world being destroyed by the beast tide, but he did not expect to see the world coming back to life.

"But Lord Yang!" Han Fang Bai raised his head to look at the square-faced man and asked, "Have you heard of the news recently?"

When the man known as Lord Yang heard this, he immediately lowered his voice and said, "Master Shang Shu, are you talking about the matter of His Highness the Third Son of the Prince's Mansion coming to Dragon City to partic.i.p.ate in the Grand Examination?"

"That's exactly what happened!"

Han Fangbai said, "Lord Yang, at such a sensitive time, this crown prince is actually so brazenly arriving at Dragon City. Do you think he has nothing to be afraid of, or is he just bluffing?"

"Hiss …" When the square-faced man heard this, his gaze became serious. "Your excellency, you mean that the actions of this crown prince are a trap?"

Han Fangbai laughed coldly and shook his head, "I don't dare to say that, the War G.o.d of our Wind Cloud Country is a man whose power shakes the entire world. It might not be easy to find out the exact situation he is in, but this crown prince has given us a clear path!"

"Oh, Lord President, what kind of opinions do you have?" The square-faced man immediately put down his teacup and listened attentively.

Han Fangbai lightly tapped the table with his fingertips and said, "Rather than baseless conjectures here, it's better to have a probe and take advantage of His Highness's visit to the Dragon City. We might as well use him to test Silver City's att.i.tude."

"They want to hit the mountain and shake the tiger. I want to see if this is a tiger or a paper tiger!"

"However, no matter what, we can't let him successfully enter the Wind Cloud Academy. It would be best if we let him get eliminated before the Grand Examination begins!" Han Fang Bai's eyes glittered coldly.

"Humph!" "Master Shang Shu, don't worry, even if you don't say it, I will still properly entertain this crown prince once he takes over the Dragon City. If I don't avenge him for killing my nephew, I, the commander of the Dragon City's Imperial Guard Army, will become a laughingstock!"

"Alright!" Han Fang Bai slapped the table.

Hearing this, Yang Xingwu's eyes immediately burned with pa.s.sion. He quickly stood up and bowed towards Han Fang Bai, "In that case, I will thank Sir Han in advance for your recommendation!"

Inside the Dragon City Imperial Palace, Seventh Prince Xiang Changan, dressed in a golden-yellow robe with a jade crown on his head and a pendant around his waist, followed closely by a court eunuch and palace maid, rushed excitedly from Guangde Palace all the way to the imperial study, ignoring the anxiety on his face behind him.

When Xiang Lingfeng, who was currently in the imperial study, heard the commotion outside, his expression immediately turned grim. However, when he raised his head to look, he saw that the person in front of him was panting heavily.

"An'er, why are you so reckless? You're lacking in manners and don't have the slightest bit of the appearance that a prince should have."

"Uh, this son knows his wrongs. Father, it won't happen again!"

Xiang Changan nodded his head, looking like a good child who knew his wrongs and corrected himself. He secretly made a face and stuck out his tongue.

"Father, I heard that Big Brother is coming to Dragon City. Is that true?"

"Mhmm, your big brother?" Xiang Lingfeng's face was filled with shock as he said, "Your elder brother is still cultivating at the Wind Cloud Academy, how could he return to Dragon City? How come I didn't know about this?"

"Eh …" Xiang Changan secretly pinched his thigh. He knew that he had said something wrong and hurriedly corrected himself, "No, no, I was wrong. I'm talking about Cousin Xiang Yun. Is it true that he's coming to Dragon City to partic.i.p.ate in the Grand Examination?"

Hearing the two words' Xiang Yun 'from Xiang Chang An, Xiang Lingfeng's expression faltered slightly as he placed the imperial report in his hand on the table. Raising his gaze slightly, he looked at Xiang Chang An and asked with slight suspicion.

"Didn't you treat Cousin Xiang Yun with contempt in the past?" Why are you so concerned about me now? "

Hearing this, Xiang Lingfeng could not help but reveal a surprised expression as he looked at Xiang Chang An and smiled.

"Heh heh heh, the Right Prime Minister has both the right and the right. He's a great scholar of his generation. This son has naturally benefited greatly from his elder's teachings!" Xiang Changan said humbly.

"Wow, that's great!" Upon hearing this, Xiang Chang An was so overjoyed that he started jumping around in the imperial study room. It was as if he had already seen the magnificent scene of the 'Dragon City's Three Evils' gathering in the imperial city!

However, in the next moment, under a pair of stern gaze, Xiang Chang An obediently withdrew himself and bowed.

"Your son shall take his leave!"

However, the instant that Xiang Chang An left the imperial study, a haze flashed across the previously indifferent Xiang Lingfeng's eyes. He suddenly lifted the brush in his hand and wrote the word 'Yun' on the pure white piece of paper in front of him!

A complicated look flashed through his eyes
