Exiled to the Frontier, He Became the Empire’s Most Powerful Lord - Chapter 29

Zhou Lingfeng watched Hong Ling appear from behind the passage. Even with his modern Daoist mindset, he couldn’t help but exclaim that she was a prodigy.

“Amidst the crackling of firecrackers, the old year departs; the spring breeze brings warmth to the New Year’s wine…”

Hong Ling’s voice was also captivating, and a series of beautiful words came out of her rosy lips. Zhou Lingfeng felt that she was much more impressive than the CCTV hosts in his previous life.

Of course, these poems all came from Zhou Lingfeng.

“Your Highness, the Barbarian King, are cordially invited!”

After Hongling finished speaking, a great commotion of gongs and drums erupted, followed by a sky full of fireworks that created various beautiful scenes in the air.

Hongling stood to the side, her beautiful eyes fixed on the passage, wondering what the Barbarian King looked like, whether he was burly and fierce.

After all, he killed thousands of gang members in one night, and didn’t even spare the people behind them.

Since the Barbarian King took up his fief, no one has known how old he is or what he looks like.

A wheelchair was slowly pushed out of the passage, followed by a beautiful and charming young woman.

Zhou Lingfeng’s handsome yet carefree appearance was thus presented to the people of Mangcheng!

In an instant, the entire venue fell silent!

However, a look of extreme surprise appeared in Hongling’s beautiful eyes.

This barbarian king, who was born to the Empress, was actually a disabled person who could not walk properly!

But his refined demeanor seems quite different from the rumored serial killer!

“Is this His Highness the Barbarian King? He’s so handsome!”

“What a pity, His Highness the Barbarian King is such a good person, yet he can’t walk!”

“Yes! I never dreamed that His Highness the Barbarian King would be like this!”

Many people whispered to each other, but dared not speak loudly.

Even though His Highness the Barbarian King is a cripple, he is still the supreme being of Python City!

Not to mention, everything he does now is for the public good in Mangcheng, and he has a clear conscience.

“I, Zhou Lingfeng, have been ordered by His Majesty to take up my fief in Mangcheng! I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to reunite with everyone here on New Year’s Eve!”

As Zhou Lingfeng spoke, he bowed with both hands towards the direction of Shengjing, as a way of paying respect to Emperor Yuanwu.

This very first sentence demonstrates the legitimacy of his enfeoffment in Mangcheng, which is undoubtedly absolutely orthodox.

“Python City is my fiefdom, and my bloodline will continue to thrive on this land! Therefore, Python City is my foundation, and you, the elders and folks of Python City, are the very foundation of my foundation! From this day forward, I will protect Python City. Whatever grievances or demands you may have, as long as they are reasonable, I will grant them!”

Zhou Lingfeng continued in a deep voice.

His voice wasn’t loud, but it was extremely persuasive.

Strangely, the surrounding people heard him very clearly. But at that moment, the confidence and pride in his words subtly infected most of them.

“Long live the Barbarian King!”

It’s unclear who shouted this, but the people immediately stood up and knelt down before Zhou Lingfeng.

At the very front, some members of the Liu family reluctantly knelt down, their movements several beats slower than the others.

Who can know the bitterness in their hearts? The destruction of the Green Dragon Gang has directly cut off their biggest source of income!

“Calm down! We’ll assassinate this cripple in a moment; he’ll be dead soon! Let’s kneel down now as a way of sending him off!”

A third-rank Grandmaster martial artist who had come from afar said through gritted teeth.

As a third-grade Grandmaster, when has he ever kowtowed to anyone?

But at this moment, Zhou Lingfeng was still far away on the stage, and the chances of him rushing up to assassinate him from a distance of tens of meters were too great.

They were all from several independent cultivator families, all for the reward of three Breakthrough Pills from the Divine Fire Sect!

A single Breakthrough Pill would be enough to give their family another Rank 3 Grandmaster, allowing the family to continue its lineage for a longer period.

So when the Liu family secretly made contact with them, they immediately hit it off! As long as Zhou Lingfeng died, they could escape in the chaos, and no one would know that they were the ones who did it.

“Please rise, everyone! Tonight, I will celebrate with my people, and we will spend every New Year’s Eve together from now on! But now, I have something to do that you are all very concerned about!”

As soon as Zhou Lingfeng finished speaking, someone immediately carried a table over!

There was a cardboard box on the table with a hole in it so you could put your hand in.

“His Highness wants to personally draw the lottery results!”

“God help me win the grand prize!”

Why did God bless you instead of me?!

As the atmosphere grew more heated as the lottery draw approached, a cacophony of noise suddenly arose.

Fortunately, there are soldiers patrolling to maintain order, and their mere glances are enough to silence anyone who tries to keep quiet.

“To ensure fairness, I request that the three chief secretaries of the cabinet read out the winning numbers and make them public!”

Zhou Lingfeng reached in and picked up the first number. Lei Xingmie and the other two also came up at this time.

Zhou Lingfeng took out a round ball and handed it to Lei Xingmie, who glanced at it, raised his hand, and read, “Seventeen!”

The sphere was clearly visible to those in the next row under the light, and someone immediately shouted, “No mistake!”

One number after another was drawn, and many people who won three or four numbers showed joy on their faces!

Even if you only hit three balls, you can still get your money back!

If you win four, you’ll get five hundred coins.

When the seventh number was read out, an old man with white hair and beard suddenly jumped up from his seat and laughed wildly, “I won! I won five thousand taels!”

“It’s Old Chen! He’s suffered since he was a child and is still struggling at fifty. He probably hasn’t even experienced the pleasures of a woman!”

“Yes! I won five thousand taels of silver with one hundred coins. I won’t have to worry about the future!”

Old Chen was acting like a madman! However, Zhou Lingfeng had already given instructions, and a martial artist immediately stepped forward and slapped him twice. Then, he channeled his true energy into Old Chen’s body, calming him down.

Then the martial artist carried Old Chen onto the big stage.

At this moment, Old Chen calmed down and looked at the Barbarian King, who was standing close by, with some fear.

“Old Chen, here’s your five thousand taels of silver!”

“Don’t worry, we will also send people to protect you and ensure the safety of your property!”

Zhou Lingfeng was extremely thoughtful and opened the box on the table with a smile.

He never considered using pig or monkey head masks to conceal the winner’s information.

Everything must be done fairly, openly, and transparently!

In an instant, the dazzling light of that shadow made many people envious.

“This humble subject thanks Your Highness!”

Old Chen knelt down, weeping; this was the blessing he had accumulated over several lifetimes.

Zhou Lingfeng helped Mo Li up, and then said gently, “This is a gift from heaven to you. Enjoy your old age in peace!”

Old Chen happily carried the box downstairs, feeling like he was floating on air.

“Winning the lottery is a blessing from heaven! Today, I swear here that whoever dares to steal the lottery winner’s money, I will have him executed by slow slicing and his clan driven out of Python City!”

Zhou Lingfeng’s voice was extremely stern at this moment, filled with murderous intent.

This is his ultimate weapon for making money in the future, and no one can destroy it, so strict regulations must be established.

“Your Highness, Mother! Ah Qing is going to marry Your Highness, the Barbarian King!”

At that moment, on a bleacher stand, Aqing hugged Jiang Chujian and giggled happily.

Zhou Lingfeng didn’t say anything more and had Mo Li push him off the stage into the brothel’s backstage area.

There are many rescued girls waiting for him inside.
