Chapter 1147 Changes in Xiluo
He used his eldest son's original body as a skin for Narakuten, so in the past ten years or so, he indulged and doted on his eldest son to the utmost, hoping to soothe his guilt.
Few people know Zhong Shengguang's ambition and belief, not to mention the civilians in Panlong Wasteland, and few of the high-level officials in Panlong City can understand it.
Zhong Shengguang cannot fight against Bejia and the gods alone, and must gather the strength 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 know that his decision will bring these millions of people into a longer and more brutal war.
Then before the real war comes, the people of Panlong Wasteland should enjoy peace and prosperity, dignity and self-confidence.
Even if such a good time is not long, at least it has been there.
Perhaps this is Zhong Shengguang's compensation to the kind and ignorant people?
He Lingchuan sighed in his heart.
Everyone must be responsible for their own choices and perseverance. This may be the inner demon and pain that Zhong Shengguang must bear alone.
While waiting for the chicken to be cooked, He Lingchuan asked about the recent situation of Panlong City, and then he learned that Panlong Wasteland welcomed many new residents.
Seven or eight big monsters led their descendants to move to the wasteland.
"For example, the wasteland elephant?"
"That's just one of them." Sun Fuling smiled, "Many tribes have moved in from the west and the south, and Panlong City is worrying about how to settle them."
"Why did so many people come suddenly?"
"The water and soil here are good, and they can feed more people." Sun Fuling sighed, "Emperor Liujiang is here, but their hometown is still poor. Trees that move away die, people who move away live, and people are willing to move to a better place."
The stability and increasing prosperity of Panlong Wasteland will certainly attract surrounding creatures.
Although Panlong City does not reach out to the south, people in the south want to come on their own.
"As for the big monsters that migrated here, some received invitations from Commander Zhong, and some came here on their own." Most of the big monsters are high-end combat forces. If they are willing to join, Panlong City will certainly not refuse them. "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. But your Red Falcon told me that Panlong City is now very famous outside because of the defeat of Baling and Xianyou coalition forces."
Not to mention humans, monsters also admire the strong. Strong local forces can attract strong combat forces to join.
This is the truth that the strong will always be strong.
He Lingchuan sighed: "Panlong City is finally strong."
As far as he knows, the real Panlong City in history was squeezed by all parties, persisted for 32 years, and died of exhaustion; but here, Zhong Shengguang and Panlong City have opened up a new situation and gained the opportunity to flourish.
At present, everything seems to be good.
This is the watershed between history and reality.
Does this mean that Panlong City will have the opportunity to write a new history and embark on a completely different path from reality?
He was very excited and looking forward to it.
Just then, he heard a table of guests next to him talking: "The new king summoned us, why don't we go back? We are still Xiluo people."
New king? He Lingchuan keenly captured the key words.
"Are you stupid?" His companion was gnawing chicken feet and almost knocked the chicken bones on his head. "Two years ago, we wanted to go back, but it was Xiluo that didn't let us go back! The Dafeng Army was halfway there, but was repeatedly ordered by the king to come back!"
"Not really, hey, my father passed away five years ago, and before he died, he was still thinking about going back to his hometown."
The companion shook his head: "Stupid! Look, people in the south still want to escape famine and come to Panlong. Do you want to make room for them so much?"
This topic is poisonous. Once it is opened, the diners around are talking about it. He Lingchuan then asked Sun Fuling: "I was away for half a year, what kind of trouble did Xiluo Kingdom have?"
Sun Fuling looked at the guests and sighed: "You just came back, I wanted to accompany you to have a meal first."
"I was naturally happy when I saw you, and this meal is just the icing on the cake." He Lingchuan smiled, "Tell me, I can bear it."
"Half a month after you set off for the Golden Plain, Xiluo Kingdom changed. The second prince, who was originally unpopular, coup d'état and seized power, succeeded in taking the throne, and placed the old monarch under house arrest."
Oh my god, usurpation of power? He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows. This change was so fast, and the process was as short as the fall of the Kingdom of Bian.
Of course, Xiluo Kingdom has not perished, but has changed its monarch.
"After the second prince ascended the throne, he sent two orders to Panlong City, ordering us to return the previously conquered Xianyou territory and the territory of two small countries in the west, and to transfer Commander Zhong back to the country."
The diners next to him also heard it and interrupted: "Yes, I don't know what the motherland thinks. They can't help us at all; they want to take the territory we conquered and be good people."
He Lingchuan drank a mouthful of chicken soup: "Panlong City is expanding its territory here, what does it have to do with Xiluo?"
Because there is a Jinyao country in the middle, Xiluo has a weak connection with Panlong City. The former old monarch tried twice and knew that he couldn't command Panlong City at all.
He recalled the deputy commander once, but the second time he summoned him, Panlong City was unmoved.
As for Zhong Shengguang, He Lingchuan knew his ambitions, or ambitions. After being extremely disappointed with Xiluo, Zhong Shengguang looked at the world and investigated Beiga. How could he take the weak Xiluo seriously?
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 Xinluo Xinjun issuing these two edicts?
He Lingchuan sensed some bad intentions.
He immediately thought of Bega.
The surrounding countries are still stagnant, and only Panlong City has bucked the trend and grown in recent years. It has thwarted Bega's plot several times, and now it is radiating outwards with the Panlong Wasteland as the center, becoming unstoppable.
Today, Panlong City's territory has expanded rapidly and is already half of the size of Xiluo. It seems to be the overlord of this continent.
The previous strategy of hiding among small countries, keeping silent and 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 Kingdom of Shiro is territorially bordered by Bega. For Bega, isn't it the easiest doll to control?
Sun Fuling added: "The second decree also increases taxes for Panlong City, requiring that starting from this year, the tax 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 to the country."
