C24 The Great King Returns to His Home

When the guards saw their master, they were overjoyed. All of them kneeled down and bowed, "Welcome back, Your Highness!"

Kunwu Jiongnuo stood with his hands behind his back in front of the door of the Wu Steel Manor. He looked at the three flamboyant golden words written on his head.

"Your Highness!" Shi Dongdu's figure followed and cupped his fist towards Kunwu Jiongnuo.

Kunwu Jiongnuo didn't look at him and just asked, "How is it?"

"Your Highness, your subordinate is useless. Yesterday, when I went to investigate the Wu Steel Manor, I was discovered by a person called Shadow." Shi Dongdu could not help but feel ashamed.

"Shadow …" Kunwu Jiongnuo still asked calmly, "Have you fought?"

"Yes, that person's martial arts are not inferior to mine. This subordinate was worried that he would be exposed, so I didn't dare to fight him." Shi Dongdu continued to answer.

"It looks like This King has to make a personal trip!" Kunwu Jiongnuo Feng smiled lightly and headed to the residence.

He wasn't surprised that Shi Dongdu would fail at all. If he could easily dig that person out, then Xin Cangqu wouldn't be worthy of his painstaking efforts for so many years.

As soon as Kunwu Jiongnuo entered the residence, everywhere he passed, he would kneel down with his head bowed. Anyone who saw him from afar also quickly went up to kneel and pay their respects.

The sounds of "Welcome back Your Highness", one after another, resounded throughout almost the entire Kunyang City.

Bing Su immediately rushed over at the sound of Kunwu Jiongnuo's voice. The moment he saw Kunwu Jiongnuo, the seven foot tall man was so excited that he almost cried out. He also knelt down on one knee and shouted, "Welcome back, Your Highness!"

"Get up." Kunwu Jiongnuo's lips curled up into a gratified smile as he walked straight into the room.

"Bing Su, how is Kunyang City going?" Shi Dongdu, who was following behind Kunwu Jiongnuo, approached Bing Su and asked.

"Nothing, everything is normal." Bing Su looked at Shi Dongdu blankly, "Why are you asking this? Did something happen?"

"I'll tell you about it later." Shi Dongdu patted Bing Su's shoulder and walked into the main hall with him.

Kunwu Jiongnuo sat on the golden chair and looked at the two people standing below. Finally, his gaze landed on Bing Su, "Bing Su!"

"Your subordinate is here!" Bing Su cupped his hands and replied.

"Prepare a generous gift for This King." Kunwu Jiongnuo lightly waved his fan and slowly picked up the glass tea cup beside him.

"Huh?" Bing Su was stunned when he heard that.

Shi Dongdu was also shocked when he heard that.

"Your Highness wants to prepare a gift?" Bing Su thought he heard wrong.

"Is it difficult?" Kunwu Jiongnuo's jade-like fingers gently rotated the teacup and glanced sideways at Bing Su. His cold voice was full of evil and bewitching, as if it was mixed with a magical power that made people unable to control themselves.

"No …" "It's not difficult!" Bing Su didn't dare to look at him, he lowered his head and stammered as he replied.

"If it's not difficult, then why are you reacting like this?" Kunwu Jiongnuo smiled and looked at Bing Su teasingly.

"This subordinate has only... "But …" Bing Su didn't know how to reply.

"But what?" Kunwu Jiongnuo seemed to have an objection and asked with an evil smile.

"This... It has always been someone else who gave gifts to His Highness, and His Highness has never given gifts to anyone before. Just now, when I heard that His Highness had suddenly ordered me to prepare a gift and it was even a generous gift, I was somewhat surprised and lost my composure. " Bing Su replied very seriously and respectfully.

"It seems like This King has never given gifts to anyone before..." Kunwu Jiongnuo's icy eyes flashed with a strange light. He looked at the teacup in his hand and muttered with interest.

"Your Highness, may I ask, why did you prepare such a generous gift?" Shi Dongdu, who hadn't opened his mouth all this time, asked.

Kunwu Jiongnuo drank a mouthful of tea and then looked at Shi Dongdu as he smiled playfully, "Guess."

"Could it be …" "Prince Lin?" Shi Dongdu thought for a long time. That was the only possibility.

"Prince Lin?" Bing Su was shocked again.

"That's right, this gift is for that resourceful Prince Lin! If you get tired today, the King of Japan will personally pay you a visit tomorrow. " Kunwu Jiongnuo Yan finished his cup of tea and waved his hand, signaling the two of them to leave.

Shi Dongdu and Bing Su bowed respectfully.

The moment he stepped out of the door, Bing Su grabbed Shi Dongdu's sleeve, "What's going on?"

"Don't be in such a hurry. I'll explain it to you slowly. The Groom Search Competition …"

As the two of them walked further and further away, Shi Dongdu's voice also became distant …

Kunwu Jiongnuo took out the phoenix pendant from his chest pocket and placed it on his palm. He stared at it as his mind slowly drifted away … He thought back to five years ago, when he met him in Phoenix Hall, and also recalled that day's Groom Search Competition … Her cold pupils contracted as her killing intent rose bit by bit. She bit on that person's name and shouted, "Xin Cangqu!"

"..."

As the sun set in the west and dusk fell, a silver moon gradually rose, bringing with it a resplendent starlight. It lit up the entire night sky and reflected back into the water.

Under the moonlight, that scarlet figure was lazily sitting in the pavilion. In one hand was a wine jug and in the other was a jade fan.

After counting for a moment, he put the wine jug to his lips, raised his head and gulped a few mouthfuls, then continued counting.

Bai Shuo looked at her in the distance and pursed her lips slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she finally walked over and cupped her hands: "Lord Cang!"

Xin Cangqu tilted her head like she was drunk and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Gui Wang, Gui Wu has sent news over. The Black and White House have long been used by Prince Chuan. In the recent days, the people from the Black and White House have always been rampant within the Tianyu City, and our people have met them twice, so we also suffered a loss. " Bai Shuo reported.

"Has Black and White Yama's brain gone bad? "They actually chose him …" Xin Cangqu's clear laughter and the ripples of the water slowly spread out. She then poured the wine pot into her mouth twice, but only a few drops of the wine came out.

"I'm out of wine, bring me another jug." After giving his orders, he threw the empty wine jug to the side.

"Lord Cang, you've drank a lot." Bai Shuo warned carefully. She was well aware of her master's temperament. Whoever dared to stop him from drinking would be his enemy!

Xin Cangqu was slightly tipsy as she frowned. She waved her sleeves and said, "If you talk any more nonsense, I'll marry you out of here!"

"Yes sir!" Bai Shuo had no choice but to fetch the wine.

Soon, Bai Shuo passed another jug of wine to Xin Cangqu.

Xin Cangqu took the wine pot and looked at the wine in it. A ripple appeared on the crimson pupil as it smiled and muttered to itself, "Although this Lan Ruo wine is the best, it no longer has the flavor of a Queen Mother."

"Rumor has it that the great miss of Huayun Mountain, Hua Qingman, is the person who is most proficient in the art of wine making. Her carefully brewed wine is one of the most expensive in the world, but it will never compare to Lady's Sofia Wine!" Bai Shuo also sighed with emotion, she had been by Xin Cangqu's side ever since she was a child, so she naturally understood what he was thinking the most.
