Chapter 63: Chapter 63 The Emperor Has Died_1
After Luo Yong returned to Luo Family’s territory in Qingshi Town,
he went to the location of Blackwind Stockade’s lair to conduct a thorough
The fall of Blackwind Stockade was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.
However, for a small fortress like that,
he had at least a couple more under his control.
If he were to make a fuss every time a small fortress he supported fell, how could he properly rule as the King of Huai Shui?
How could he compete with the large grain merchant, the Tang Family, and the established Chen Family within Huai Shui County?
“I am aware of this matter,” he said.
“A mere Qingshi Town Luo Family is not worth worrying about.”
Having said this, Feng Wentai once again closed his eyes, silently enjoying the rare sunlight of early winter.
The old servant beside Feng Wentai, having received his master’s response,
bowed his head slightly and quietly disappeared from the courtyard.
…
In the blink of an eye, another three days had passed.
After the extermination of Blackwind Stockade,
the development of Qingshi Town began to quicken even more.
Indeed, it seemed as if it changed every single day.
As the Luo Family’s reputation for being charitable and benevolent gradually spread, the number of refugees pouring into Qingshi Town each day increased yet again.
As of today, even Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family,
was somewhat unclear about the exact population within Qingshi Town.
One hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand?
No, no, no, it should be more than that.
Perhaps it even exceeds three hundred thousand.
Regardless of the exact number,
the expansion of Qingshi Town must be scheduled sooner.
…
Time flew by swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, another three days had passed.
As Luo Changfeng diligently worked on improving his cultivation,
as Luo Ping began to research how to expand Qingshi Town,
as Luo Yong underwent a second military expansion, seemingly in preparation for increasing the Luo Family’s territorial reach,
a shocking event that stunned countless people across the Da Feng Dynasty suddenly occurred.
The Emperor of the Da Feng Dynasty had passed away.
Logically, upon the Emperor’s demise, the Crown Prince should succeed the throne.
But because the power of the maternal families of the Second Prince, Third Prince, Fourth Prince, and Fifth Prince was excessively formidable,
and because the forces behind these princes also intended to fight for that supreme throne,
what was a barely maintainable Da Feng Dynasty completely collapsed at this moment.
…
“A dynasty that existed for over a thousand years is just gone?”
Qingshi Town, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
In the courtyard where the Ancestor of the Luo Family resided,
Luo Changfeng, who sat under the Stone Pavilion sipping tea and savoring life, couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
He had thought that even if the Da Feng Dynasty was in decline, it should at least endure a few more years.
But who could have anticipated that the old emperor of the Da Feng Dynasty would just die outright?
The princes are now nearly coming to blows over the succession.
This situation is somewhat preposterous.
However, upon reflection,
things might not be so straightforward after all.
If the Da Feng Dynasty could exist for so long and control such a vast empire,
there should undoubtedly be some old monsters hidden within the Imperial Palace, right?
So as long as those old monsters in the Imperial Palace haven’t died out,
the rule of the Da Feng Dynasty will remain as solid as Mount Tai.
The current chaos is just a temporary disorder.
