The sun was shining brightly, and the stonemasons in the fort were working hard. The sound of beating the stones sounded from time to time. The damaged parts of the fortress had been basically repaired. As long as the details were adjusted, the stonemasons could wait to pay the reward and go home.

Wang Dachui put down the stone hammer in his hand and wiped his sweat. He saw Li Yuannan not far away. Seeing that no one noticed him, he walked towards him and whispered: "Sir Li, why haven't he come back yet? Didn't you tell me that he will return before we finish the construction? Four days have passed since the day he disappeared!"

Li Yuannan had no expression on his face, looked at Wang Dachui's anxious expression, and whispered in a low voice: "I don't know either. I just heard from His Majesty that he was left in the hunting ground. Maybe His Majesty wanted to keep him."

Li Yuannan still doesn't know how to tell Wang Sancai's death to Wang Dachui, so he can only say so.

"How is that possible! His companions are still waiting for him in Burning Stone City, how could he not go back!" Wang Dachui was most anxious because his wife and children are still in the hands of Wang Sancai's companion. When he returned, he saw himself, but not Wang Sancai. How should he explain to the remaining people who killed eight consecutive times?

However, there was another reason for him to bring his wife and children to Burning Shicheng. Chen Ankang's death king Daechu dared not tell him, and he couldn't help but feel miserable at this moment.

Li Yuannan didn't know how to explain to Wang Dahui, so he could only shrugged and said, "This was not my decision, you can't ask me."

After saying that, he turned around and deliberately avoided Wang Dachu.

Wang Dahui was full of anxiety. He was like an ant on a hot pan. After thinking for a long time, he mustered up the courage to ask: "That...Sir Li, can you please meet Your Majesty when you wait for the completion of the work and ask Your Majesty to write a written certificate so that I can go back and give an explanation to his companion. He comes with me, and it is my own when he goes back. His companion will definitely not let me go."

Li Yuannan thought about it, but he was silent for a moment, but sighed: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't care about such a small matter. This way, I will personally write you a certificate before the completion of the work, so that you can explain it when you go back."

Wang Dachui couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Li Yuannan was just a non-commissioned officer, so he was naturally not as authoritative as the king. He was afraid that Li Yuannan's letter to Wang Sancai's companions would not believe it.

However, after thinking about it, since Li Yuannan had issued a certificate, it was not up to him even if Wang Sancai's companions were anxious. They had to go to Li Yuannan if they wanted to find him. Thinking of this, Wang Dachu had to say, "thank you."

"It's just a matter of hard work." Li Yuannan said this calmly, and watched Wang Dachu gradually walk away, but he felt very uneasy. He couldn't help but look up at the tip of the fortress. Looking down, his eyes fell at the position where the king lived.

...

in.

"Enough, you're fucking enough, stop making trouble!! Calm down!" The king stood in the room with his big belly, pointed at the outside, and shouted to the person in front of him: "If Huang Shilan hadn't been seriously ill, Huang Tian would have taken his son to the military camp outside the wall for medical treatment, and now he would have discovered you!"

The man in front of him was sitting on a chair. He had a small beard on his chin, but he looked similar to the king, but he was much thinner than the king. He was originally lowering his head, but when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head with anger: "Your Majesty, how do you let me calm down? Xiaoran has been chasing me for four days and has not come back yet. How do you tell me to calm down?!"

The more he said he became more and more excited, and at the end he suddenly stood up and walked out the door.

The king stopped him: "Get back and sit down! Xiaoran is no longer a child. He will definitely come back after completing the task. That child is very disciplined. What are you worried about?"

"But, Your Majesty, it's been four days!!" Zhou Jing gritted her teeth.

The king stared at him: "It's so big outside, and we're still a few days away from Burning Stone City! That guy might be able to take any route. It's not surprising that there is no news for ten days and half a month. What's so strange about Xiaoran and the others chasing for ten days and half a month?!"

"I wouldn't let him go if I had known it." Zhou Jing pinched his forehead in pain.

Seeing that he was calmer, the king's tone eased a lot more: "Didn't you bring him here just to train him? Since you want to train him, please be patient! He will still have military power in the future. If he doesn't get the recognition of soldiers and officers at all levels, it will be impossible to truly obtain military power! Even if I am willing to hand over military power to him, no one will be convinced by him! These all require time to train! Besides, the boy who was let go by Huang Tian is just an ordinary person, so why are you worried about Xiaoran?"

Zhou Jing raised her head, enduring anger in her eyes full of pain: "But there are probably ambushing the enemy's masters around here!"

As he said that, the anger in his eyes suddenly became more and more intense, and he looked at the king fiercely: "It's all your fault!!! If you hadn't ordered him to leave me now! Return Xiaoran to me!!!!"

"Bang!"

A crisp slap sounded, and the king slapped Zhou Jing to the ground, and insulted without hesitation: "If you fucking louder, Huang Tian will hear it!!"

However, Zhou Jing was not awakened by this slap, but instead got up from the ground and became even more excited. He even shouted: "Huang Tian!! Fuck it! I'm not afraid of him! I'm going to go out and fight him to the death now!!!"

"Bang!"

Another slap knocked him to the ground, and the king couldn't help but feel angry: "You dare to call yourself a man in front of me? If it weren't for you, our Zhou family would have owed the Huang family so much!! You still have the face to want to fight Huang Tian now? Are you worthy of it!!"

The king's words were like a wake-up call, and instantly woke Zhou Jing up. A trace of anxiety flashed across his face, and the king said again: "Say, why did I take you and Huang Tian to guarantee it?"

Zhou Jing instantly seemed to have changed her body, got up from the ground, with a confused expression, but her tone was very bitter: "Don't let me appear in front of him, marrying his sister to steadily improve the status of the Huang family. If I don't listen to the teachings, you will kill me and give him an explanation."

"If you keep making trouble, I will really kill you with my own hands! Although you have the innate strength now, killing you is as simple as pinching a chicken to death!" Although the king was full of warning, his tone had eased a lot compared to before.

After saying this, he snorted coldly: "Stay here honestly. I'll go out and see if Huang Tian noticed this place, quietly, did he hear it?"

Zhou Jing lowered her head: "I understand, brother."

"I am your king!!"

Zhou Jing's whole body was shocked: "Yes, king."

"Hmph!" The king gave him a blank look, left him behind, and walked outside, instructed: "Be quiet and continue to help me feel the fortress. When Huang Tian's son is cured, I will demote him back to the capital. Humph, it is against my will. I just demoted him and he has already given him a price. He can't have reason to object! Then I will arrange for you to carry out the mission. As long as you bring the child of Li Guo back to me safely, it will make contributions to Zhou Guo. When I will give you a reward afterwards, look at Huang Tian's performance. Maybe he will forgive you. I don't have a son. One day you will inherit my throne. I don't want to see our Zhou and Huang families break up and start a civil war again!"

Zhou Jing clenched her fists.

...

...

Almost at the same time, Wang Sancai had returned to the gate of Burning Stone City. (To be continued.)
