Chapter 2068 Zhang Xu Kingdom’s Revival Attempt (3)
From these remnants, Prince Wan looked at the familiar and unfamiliar city in front of him. Over the past few years when he was away, the city had changed to a certain degree because of Fei Yang Kingdom's works.
His expression hardened. This should have all been his. He didn't even think about his half siblings who had more right to the throne compared to him. If they were still alive, they would have been the one at the throne and it would never have been his turn. "I'm Prince Wan!" Prince Wan declared as he looked at the city in front of him. "The eight son of Zhang Xu Kingdom Emperor, a rightful prince. Now I'm here to take back what should belong to me!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The soldiers on the wall looked at Prince Wan below and frowned. They were naturally still familiar with the word Zhang Xu Kingdom because they had been under this kingdom for so many years. But not many people still reminisce about it. Zhang Xu Kingdom's Emperor back then was a person who only cared about himself and the princes were busy to fight for the throne. Even if there were some others who might care for the people, many people were living in fear. Who didn't know that Zhang Xu Kingdom was famous for using their poison and also controlled many people. People were living in fear under Zhang Xu Kingdom. When they were first conquered by Fei Yang Kingdom, it would be a lie to say that many of them were not worried. They were also worried what kind of treatment they would receive and so on.
Aside from the change in the court that demoted and removing some officials who were loyalist and also those who were detrimental to the kingdom as a whole.
Now that some time has passed, those people have long been removed.
Even if there were some discomfort because those who were close to them were removed, but as time passed, they had accepted it and didn't care too much anymore. Now, this stupid prince was asking them to support Zhang Xu Kingdom again?
'Do you want to listen to him?' One of the guards glanced at his friend.
His friend shook his head.
They have been living much better ever since Fei Yang Kingdom took control of Liang City. They were not so stupid so as to follow this so called Prince Wan's words. The guard nodded and looked at the other guards, but they were all standing firm on their place. None of them had the intention to move. It was clear that their treatment has been really good under Fei Yang Kingdom that none of them have the intention for betrayal or anything like that. They were all standing still. Prince Wan outside looked at this and frowned. He looked at his adjutant, the man who had helped him to build the army and so on. The adjutant shook his head. "They have been under Fei Yang Kingdom too long that it's impossible to be moved."
The soldiers that they recruited were those who were loyalist or those who felt that Fei Yang Kingdom treated them unfairly. Even if these people were not the best people, but they were the best the adjutant could find in the limited time. "I'm the prince of Zhang Xu Kingdom!" Prince Wan yelled in anger. The adjutant had a faint disgust when he heard the prince's stupid yell. But then he suppressed the mood in his heart. It was not easy to find a useful and stupid prince to take back the power and rebuilt Zhang Xu Kingdom. Most of the princes had been killed during the war back then and this stupid prince managed to escape by using the gap back then.
It was already a great luck. Now, they could only try to do their best. The adjutant signaled the soldier behind him to check the tunnel used by them to escape the city back then. If the tunnel was still there, they could use this to enter the city.
As Prince Wan continued to shout and demanded people to follow him, the soldiers turned to check and then turned back while shaking their head. After Fei Yang Kingdom conquered Liang City, they naturally also checked for various tunnels and so on. After all, there were these things in their own capital city, what made none of them existed in Zhang Xu Kingdom's former capital city?
So they checked thoroughly.
Feng Ao Kuai was also very careful and made sure that none of these so called tunnels existed and even if there were to be other tunnels, that had to be something exclusive to them. As for the expensive repair fee?
Don't worry, he's pretty rich.
And these nobles who still wanted to keep their position will also paid enough in order to make sure they were not killed. What was the point of money if they couldn't keep their lives?
So even if they felt their heart was bleeding, they would still obediently pay to the new officials from Fei Yang Kingdom. As for how they cursed behind, that was not what Feng Ao Kuai cared about. Bang!
Prince Wan frowned when he saw that the soldiers from the wall was instead very guarded and seemed to be prepared to fight. He turned to look at his adjutant who shook his head, indicating that poaching them would be impossible. "But it worked before…" Prince Wan was annoyed. The adjutant's lips twitched. The previous one worked because they were people who were already dissatisfied with Fei Yang Kingdom. Now, in this city… It wouldn't be so easy.
Fei Yang Kingdom focused in Liang City because it was an important city that they planned to focus on development. "Your Highness, please give the order to take the city instead." The adjutant pointed at the soldiers behind them that have been waiting for Prince Wan's order. If poaching couldn't work, then they would do it in the hard way instead.
