His Majesty the King's face suddenly calmed down, and he looked in the direction of his voice, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at the person who spoke: "Wulanxiong, what do you think?"

Ulanxiong was suddenly shocked. He hadn't seen such a look in His Majesty the King's eyes for many years? A cold feeling suddenly appeared on his back, but just so he increased the power of the Ling family, he would never be willing to do so. He had to bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Young Master Ling is still young and not yet adult. Your Majesty is so rewarded, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate. This is not in accordance with the etiquette!"

"Isn't it etiquette?" The old king snorted in his nostrils, looked at Ulanxiong with a slight smile, and said calmly: "Ulanxiong, have you been eating in your dog's stomach for so many years? Which etiquette in the empire stipulates that the title of fief is restricted by age!"

"This, this..." Ulanxiong immediately turned his eyes to the prince for help. The nobles below didn't dare to speak out. Now they could see that there was no banquet held today, it was clearly a gathering for the young man!

His Royal Highness had a gloomy look, lowered his head slightly, and did not look at Ulanxiong at all. He called him a fool in his heart. For the sake of his family's interests, he dared to disobey the king's wishes in front of so many nobles. Isn't this a bored life?

However, although I felt so angry that my teeth were itchy, I could not completely abandon Ulanxiong. After all, the Ulan family is powerful and I still need such a family to support me in the future. If I don’t care about the Ulan family today, it will be more than the heart of the Ulan family.

"Father, the child has something to say."

The prince took a step forward and said respectfully.

"Yes." His Majesty the King snorted with obvious displeasure.

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

The words of His Highness the Crown Prince made many people unable to help but nod in secret. Over the years, it has been rumored that His Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Highness are inconsistent with His Highness, and there are even rumors that His Highness the Southern King has shown signs of rebellion, which has become increasingly rampant in recent years. But judging from the performance of the Crown Prince protecting his second brother's interests today, those rumors are self-defeating!

Moreover, what the prince said makes sense. As a military center, Cameron Town is indeed not suitable for rewarding nobles as fiefdoms. In fact, the most important point is that almost no one of these nobles is not jealous of Ling Xiao's luck and can actually get a fiefdom like Cameron Town!

You know, even a western province in the Ulan family fiefdom creates taxes every year, but not as high as Cameron! Cameron is like a treasure pot. For so many years, he has been like a pearl embedded in the southern territory of the empire, shining and dazzling!

Therefore, His Royal Highness's statement was immediately unanimously endorsed by almost all the nobles. These people represented the backbone of the empire, and His Majesty the King could not completely ignore their opinions.

However, he announced it with such enthusiasm and was denied by almost everyone. Anger rose on the old king's face. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the gorgeously dressed nobles below. None of the upper class who enjoyed all the privileges of the empire dared to look at the old king. Wherever he looked, he lowered his head.

However, Ling Xiao didn't care whether he had a fiefdom or not. Moreover, the Cameron-like place was too noisy and he didn't like it. It was just that the old king said in front of him that the Ling family wanted to balance the Second Highness of the Second Highness, Ling Xiao couldn't refuse. Now seeing everyone opposing it, Ling Xiao felt a little more happy.

"Then you say, where should the heroic tiger son of 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 calmly: "This son of the Ling family should really reward him, and he also needs to reward him heavily! Otherwise, wouldn't the heroes be heartbroken? If such a thing happens in the future, who dares to care!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said passionately, and many people were even left there by him. He was the one who raised objections, and he was the one who wanted to reward him. What exactly did this Prince... want to do?

The old king narrowed his eyes and had no expression on his face. After looking carefully, the muscles on his face were somewhat stiff, and he said lightly: "What do you mean?"

"Boy means to reward Ling Xiao with the economically prosperous towns in the south, Pengzes... as a fiefdom!"

As soon as His Highness said this, the aristocrats who were a little older were stunned and then turned their sympathetic eyes to Ling Xiao, saying in their hearts that the prince said that just now, feelings are paving the way!

The shock in the old king's eyes flashed away. Penzes is a peninsula city, as big as ten Camerons!

And the prince was right, it was always an economical place. There were deep-sea ports near the sea. It led to the Zichuan Empire through sea routes and the other two empires to the southeast, Fes and Mengdira.

The northeast of Penzes City is adjacent to the Penzes Swamp, where there are many monsters and there are also a very powerful beast of beasts living inside.

Originally, Penzes City, the southernmost city of the empire, is indeed a good place. Its status is only a little worse than that of Cameron Town, but it is precisely because of the war between humans and beasts in the south that the value of Penzes City in people's hearts has been greatly reduced!

Now there are almost no people except the natives. Now, who else is willing to go to that kind of place? The beast tribe has entered the town of Cameron. So, will the days when the Penzes City, which is closer to the Penzes swamp, be looted by the beast tribe?

The prince's vicious intentions are simply obvious, but isn't you Ling Xiao a hero to fight against orcs? Since you can resist the orc invasion once, what's the point?

Defining Ling Xiao’s fiefdom in Pengzes City is also equivalent to nailing a nail to Li Wutong’s territory!

Just as Li Wutong knew the prince, the prince also knew the personality of his brother very well. He was proud and stubborn! As the saying goes, how can he allow others to snore on the side of the bed?

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

The prince's move was like a sharp knife in Li Wutong's heart!

The old king's eyes seemed to become more and more turbid. He looked at the prince and was shocked. He seemed to...somewhat underestimated the eldest son! He even bribed people's hearts and stimulated the King of Southern. Similarly, he did not offend the Ling family!

A place is a good place. As long as you have the ability, you can still make a fortune!

"Pengzes City...oh hehe, it's such a good place!" The old king reached out and patted his mouth: "That's it! Ling Xiao, the title of hereditary viscount, fief...Pengzes City! Well, the next time is your carnival time!" As he said that, the old king walked towards the palace with a hunchbacked body surrounded by a group of people.

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

At this time, Ulanxiong also had an uncontrollable joy on his face, and a sincere smile on his face: "Vissue Ling Xiao, not bad, really good! Haha, the Ling family general Huzi is really promising. He is underage and is already a noble with a fief! Congratulations!"

"Old thief, you don't have to pretend." Ling Xiao said softly to Ulanxiong with a faint smile on his face.

Ulanxiong's face changed, but then he returned to normal. He smiled coldly: "Things that don't know how to live or die, wait for your fiefdom and be submerged by the beast tribe!"
