"Your Majesty, we await your arrival in Tianjiang City!"
After saying that, Bei Mingcang turned and left without any hesitation.
Watching the departing figures of Bei Mingcang and the other three, Zhou Boxing narrowed his eyes slightly.
Things are getting more and more interesting!
Powerful families never reveal their true intentions.
Besides these two old guys, the four major families probably have other trump cards up their sleeves.
If it weren't for that mysterious, invincible expert at Jixia Academy, its foundation would be far inferior to that of the four great families.
After all, they are a true, ancient, and powerful family.
Even the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have the same historical background as the four great families.
Of course, the three thousand ministers who rule the world are definitely superior to the four great families in terms of foundation.
Although the impression they have given to the outside world over the years has been so-so, Zhou Boxing knows that the true foundation of the Great Zhou royal family has never been touched.
Whether it was the bloody night in Tiandu three years ago or the sudden death of his nephew twenty years ago, those old fogies didn't touch anything.
Although we don't know what they're planning, it must be something very important.
That's why Zhou Boxing also needs to make preparations!
Although he held sway over Chuzhou, he ultimately only possessed the power of one province.
Even after all these years of painstaking efforts, he has only managed to cultivate two individuals who have reached the tenth rank of perfect Dharma Image.
Such power would certainly be enough to dominate a region under normal circumstances.
But when the great era truly arrives, it will not be enough.
The trend of what is called a great era is becoming increasingly clear.
This generation of prodigies on the Fish and Dragon List has extraordinary luck, from the Martial Madman Kuang Yutian to the Celestial Jiang Lan and then to the Overlord Blade Li Fan.
Each one is more monstrous than the last, each one more perverted than the last.
Besides these young prodigies, the previous generation was the same.
Leaving aside others, even his own grand-nephew is no ordinary person.
In just three years, he rose to third place on the Heavenly Heroes List.
As the fifth-ranked member of the Heavenly Heroes List, Zhou Boxing was well aware of what this meant.
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but now that the two most powerful forces in the Great Zhou Dynasty are locked in a battle, Zhou Zhenxiong is actually staying out of it.
If you say he had no plan, Zhou Boxing would be the first to disbelieve you.
At Zhou Zhenxiong's level and status, there are only two things that would make him plan and endure.
Firstly, supreme power. The so-called supreme power naturally means emulating the great Shang Dynasty of the past and ruling over all the heroes under heaven.
Secondly, unparalleled martial prowess, breaking through to the realm of being invincible among mortals.
Zhou Zhenxiong's plan can be described as extremely bold.
Throughout history, none of the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for the founding emperor, have broken through the realm of being invincible among mortals.
The one closest to breaking through was his monstrous nephew.
But he died on that quiet night twenty years ago.
His death didn't even cause the slightest ripple.
Given the precedents, Zhou Zhenxiong's willingness to do this still shows that he was well-prepared.
Or rather, the ancient artifacts in the imperial tombs gave him this confidence.
When that day comes, what will become of the world?
He doesn't care about others, but he doesn't want to be a pawn.
Since those old fogies from the royal family haven't approached him, he needs to find good allies for himself.
He had already chosen his allies.
That was Li Fan!
Compared to the four major families, Li Fan seems to be more reliable at present.
Li Fan's rise to power was marked by countless bloodshed and turmoil.
But looking at it from all angles, those who were on good terms with him all succeeded in rising to power.
Yan Mingshu rose from an ordinary student to the governor of a prefecture under the Zhenwu Commandery.
Nangong Zhenxiang successfully established the Martial Arts Alliance.
Zhou Qingtian, without making a sound, spread his influence throughout Wunan Prefecture, winning over the hearts of the people and successfully cultivating reserve forces.
Zhou Shenpeng, born out of wedlock, took control of Haizhou, and the Tianshui Sect, the overlord of Haizhou, obeyed his every command.
Tong Wu completed the "Great Vajra Palm" manual, greatly improving his strength.
Wang Tianzuo has recovered from his injuries and is ready to fight against Yanbei.
......
These people are living examples.
Looking at the present, although the Ten Thousand Blades Sect was forced to withdraw from Tianjiang City.
However, it is foreseeable that if Li Fan wins this battle, Long Daoji will become the sole overlord of Jiangzhou.
Even Zhou Dinglong had no choice but to make way for him.
If these people dare to trust Li Fan, then he naturally does too.
"Third Uncle, after careful consideration, I realize that I was too stingy before."
Two million taels is probably not enough to make up for Uncle San's losses.
How about three million taels?
As the convoy moved forward, Zhou Dinglong approached Zhou Boxing himself.
After overcoming his initial worries, Zhou Dinglong calmed down.
After some analysis, he guessed at some possibilities that horrified him.
His third uncle was probably not just there to "protect" him.
He came here voluntarily to enter the game!
But I am just a facade.
"Dinglong, is Third Uncle a greedy person?"
Zhou Boxing raised an eyebrow and said seriously, "I said I'd borrow one million taels, and I'll only borrow one million taels!"
"Uncle is right, I understand!"
Hearing Zhou Boxin's words, Zhou Dinglong breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Zhou Boxing wouldn't even write an IOU for the extra two million, at least he accepted it.
Once he's received the money, he'll start thinking about himself before doing anything.
At the very least, they wouldn't use themselves as bait.
"You've been smart since you were little!"
Zhou Boxing patted Zhou Dinglong on the shoulder with a smile.
......
Banners fluttered at the north gate of Tianjiang City.
He Mu led a group of Jiangzhou dignitaries to wait here.
As dusk approached, a large convoy of cars appeared on the distant main road.
News of the King of Han's high-profile return to the city spread quickly.
......
"The King of Han has returned to the city!"
"What's going on? Why would this prince return to the city at this time!"
"I don't know!"
"I've thought of a possibility; perhaps everything is about to be put to rest!"
In the teahouse, someone said, "Whether the East Wind prevails over the West Wind or the West Wind prevails over the East Wind, there will eventually be a result!"
"Li Xiucai, you son of a bitch, stop talking nonsense about the East Wind and West Wind."
I only know one principle: a life for a life!
Li Fan and his gang all deserve to die!
"Yes, I agree with Brother Wan!"
"Although the Prince of Han is a fence-sitter, Lord He is not!"
These past few days, he's been guarding the governor's mansion, and he's been incredibly dashing!
"What a pity for Governor Liu, such a loyal and courageous man!"
"And who can say otherwise?"
There was much discussion among the crowd.
Public opinion has long since turned completely in favor of the four major families.
The down-on-his-luck scholar surnamed Li did not join them.
He knew very well that the reason these people hated Li Fan so much was not because they truly admired those powerful and influential people in Jiangzhou.
They simply disliked Li Fan, and the reason for their dislike was naturally because Li Fan was not from "Jiangzhou".
