His Majesty's face suddenly sank, and he looked in the direction of the voice, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he stared at the person who spoke: "Ulanxiong, what is your opinion?"

Wu Lanxiong was shocked in his heart, how many years had he not seen this kind of look in the eyes of His Majesty the King? A cold feeling suddenly rose on his back, but it made the Ling family's power increase greatly, he would never be reconciled, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty is wise, Ling Gongzi is still young, and he is not yet sincere, Your Majesty is so rewarded, I am afraid it will be ...... I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, this is not in accordance with the etiquette law!"

"Doesn't it conform to the etiquette law?" The old king snorted in his nostrils, looked at Wu Lanxiong with a smile, and said indifferently: "Wu Lanxiong, have you eaten in the dog's stomach for so many years? Which etiquette law in the empire stipulates that there is an age limit for knighthood fiefs!"

"This, this ......" Wu Lanxiong immediately turned his eyes for help to the prince, and the nobles below didn't dare to take a breath, and now they can see that where is the banquet held today, it is clearly a gathering for this young man!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes were gloomy, he lowered his head slightly, he didn't look at Wu Lanxiong at all, and scolded him in his heart for being a fool, for the benefit of his family, he actually dared to disobey the king in front of so many nobles, isn't this that he is tired of being crooked?

However, although the heart is itchy with hatred, but he can't completely abandon Ulan Xiong, after all, the Ulan family is powerful, and he still needs such a family to support him in the future.

"Father, the child has something to say. ”

The prince took a step forward and said respectfully.

"Hmm. His Majesty snorted with obvious displeasure.

The crown prince glanced at Ling Xiao, and then said calmly: "Father, Cameron Town has always been under the jurisdiction of the second brother, with stable development and developed economy, and as one of the towns with the highest taxes in the empire, it is still an important strategic city in itself, and it is an important military town, and it is not suitable to be used as a fief to reward nobles." ”

His Royal Highness the Prince's words made many people nod secretly, over the years, it has been rumored that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Second Highness are not on good terms, and there are even rumors that His Royal Highness the Southern King has signs of rebellion, which has become more and more noisy in recent years. But judging from the performance of the prince in protecting the interests of his second brother today, those rumors are self-defeating!

Moreover, what the prince said is also very reasonable, Cameron Town, as a military town, is indeed not suitable for rewarding nobles as fiefs. In fact, the most important point is that almost none of these nobles are not jealous of Ling Xiao's luck to get a fief like Cameron Town!

You must know that even if it is a western province in the fiefdom of the Ulan family, the taxes created every year are not as high as Cameron! Cameron is like a cornucopia, for so many years, it has been like a pearl embedded in the southern map of the empire, shining and dazzling!

Therefore, this statement of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was immediately unanimously approved by almost all the nobles, who represented the backbone of the empire, and it was impossible for His Majesty the King to completely ignore their opinions.

It's just that he announced it with such enthusiasm, and then was denied by almost everyone, the old king's face rose with anger, he squinted his eyes and glanced at the gorgeously dressed nobles below, these people in the upper class who enjoyed all the privileges of the empire, none of them dared to look at the old king, and everywhere he looked, they all bowed their heads.

It's Ling Xiao, who doesn't care if he has a fief or not, and he doesn't like it because Cameron's kind of place is too noisy, but the old king said in front of him that he wanted the Ling family to balance the second highness, and Ling Xiao couldn't refuse. Now seeing that everyone is opposing, Ling Xiao has more joy in his heart.

"Then you say, where should a hero like the Ling family be rewarded as a fief?" The old king's face calmed down, and he looked at the prince quietly and asked.

The prince smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "This son of the Ling family really deserves to be rewarded, and he must be rewarded heavily! Otherwise, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the heroes, and if this kind of thing happens in the future, who else will dare to care!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said a few words impassionedly, and many people were even made to stay there by him, he was the one who raised objections, and he was the one who wanted to be rewarded, His Royal Highness the Prince...... What exactly do you want to do?

The old king's eyes narrowed, his face was expressionless, and when he looked closely, the muscles of his face were somewhat stiff, and he said lightly: "Then what do you mean?"

"The child means to put the same economically rich town in the south, Penzes... Reward Ling Xiao as a fief!"

As soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this, the slightly older nobles present were stunned for a moment, and then they turned their sympathetic eyes to Ling Xiao, and said in their hearts, no wonder the prince said that just now, feelings, this is foreshadowing!

The astonishment in the old king's eyes flashed away, Penzes City, a peninsula city, the size of ten Camerons!

And the prince was right, it has always been a place of economic prosperity, and there are deep-sea ports near the sea, which lead to the Zichuan Empire to the west and to the other two empires, Fez and Mendilla, to the southeast.

To the northeast of Penzes City, adjacent to Penzes Swamp, there are many magical beasts, and there are quite a large number of beasts living in it.

Originally, as the southernmost city of the empire, Penzes City was indeed a good place, both in terms of commercial and military status, it was only a little worse than Cameron Town, but it was precisely because of the war between humans and beasts in the south that the value of Penzes City in people's hearts decreased rapidly!

There are hardly any people there except for the aborigines, and who wants to go to that kind of place now. The orcs have already entered Cameron Town, so will Penzes City, which is closer to the Penzes swamp, be sacked by the orcs?

The prince's vicious intentions are simply obvious, but aren't you Ling Xiao a hero who fought against the orcs?

Fiefdom of Ling Xiao in Penzes City is also equivalent to nailing a nail in Li Wutong's territory!

Just like Li Wutong knows the prince, the prince also knows his brother's surname very well. As the saying goes, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?

Not to mention that the 100,000 troops of the Southern King are stationed near the Penzes Swamp all the year round, and Penzes City has always played the important role of supplying the army! For Li Wutong, its significance is even higher than Cameron Town!

The prince's move is simply equivalent to a slash in Li Wutong's heart!

The old king's eyes seemed to be more and more cloudy, and when he glanced at the crown prince, he was shocked, as if... Some underestimated this eldest son, that is, he bought people's hearts and stimulated the king of the south, and in the same way, he did not offend the Ling family!

The place is a good place, as long as you have the ability, you can also make a lot of money!

"Penzes City...... Oh, hehe, what a good place!" The old king stretched out his hand and patted his mouth: "Then it's decided!Ling Xiao, hereditary viscount, fiefdom...... All right, the next time is your time for revelry!" As he spoke, the old king walked towards the palace surrounded by a group of people, with a somewhat rickety body.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked into Ling Xiao with a gentle smile on his face: "Viscount Ling Xiao, congratulations!"

At this time, Wu Lanxiong also had irrepressible joy on his face, with a sincere smile on his face: "Viscount Ling Xiao, yes, really good! Haha, the Ling family's general is really promising, and before he is a minor, he is already a nobleman with a fief! Congratulations!"

"Old thief, you don't have to be coy. With a faint smile on his face, Ling Xiao whispered to Wu Lanxiong.

Wu Lanxiong's face changed, but then he returned to normal, and said with an indifferent smile: "I don't know whether to live or die, waiting for your fiefdom, be drowned by the beast clan!"

"That's my business, don't bother with you old guy, if you have that time, let's find more doctors for your son, so as not to have no queen, haha." After Ling Xiao finished speaking, with a bright smile on his face, he ignored the iron-faced Wulanxiong, walked towards Chunlan and Qiuyue, and then said gently: "Let's go, let's go home!";
