The Emperor is Above

Chapter 322 Congratulations to the Prince for getting what he wished for!

Xing Boyun felt happy and also had a sense of revenge.

Ever since he saw with his own eyes the solitary mound filled with spiritual energy and filled with many spiritual plants, Xing Boyun has never forgotten it.

The first time he plotted to establish a fiefdom in Guqiu, not only did his plan fail, but Xing Hou saw through his purpose and severely punished him, and even his existing power to lead the army was completely stripped away.

During that period, Xing Boyun experienced frustration for the first time in his life, and even the calls for the establishment of a crown prince, which had been strong in the court and the public, were affected and reduced.

Later, Xing Hou considered things from his own perspective and spread Qing Yi's great military exploits among the nobles and ministers, which made Xing Boyun even more envious and jealous.

He had wanted to take advantage of Qing Yi's participation in the Winter Festival to let his master Zhonghang Shuo, his uncle Zhonghang Huan, and his uncle Qi Xi vent his anger and teach this young vassal a lesson.

It happened that Qing Yi was fighting with Enqi Guiying in the lower city, and was seen by everyone as plotting to assassinate the king's youngest son Xing Jinyin, so he was ordered by Xing Hou to be imprisoned in the vassal prison.

When Xing Boyun was extremely excited and thought that Qing Yi was going to be completely unlucky, he did not expect that a tragic incident would happen right after the Winter Festival Ceremony, and countless powerful men in the capital were killed or injured.

This battle not only left the senior ministers Zhonghang Huan and Qi Xi seriously injured, but also killed his master Zhonghang Shuo. The loss of this important supporter of the succession was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Xing Boyun.

On the other hand, Qing Yi relied on this battle and used the upper city defense formation to kill the Ningtu Ghost King, becoming the savior of hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the capital. Xing Boyun found it hard to accept the thought.

Fortunately, Qing Yi was granted the title of Dragon City during the Winter Festival and was about to move, so the original mound of his burial mound was taken back. Xing Boyun's mind immediately became active again.

After visiting and begging in private, he finally persuaded Zhong Xing Huan and Qi Xi to speak for him, and successfully allocated the land of Guqiu to his own name. Now it was just the right time for him to take it over before Qing Yi left.

"Congratulations to the prince for getting what he wished for!"

The leader of the Black Armor Cavalry who led the protection team knew what Xing Boyun was thinking, and he flattered him with a flattering smile, "I have also heard about the Solitary Hill Enshrinement from the two leaders, Taishu and Liangqiu. It is indeed a rare and blessed place.

Not to mention that the mound is filled with rich spiritual energy, the spiritual medicines and herbs growing within a radius of two or three miles alone are an incomparable wealth.

Especially now that elixirs and elixirs are in short supply in the country, and their prices are rising, even if the prince sells half of them, it will bring in a lot of money, he is truly a blessed man."

"Hey - Commander Huan Taiyu, thank you for your compliment. This is also the love shown to me by the ministers in the court!"

Xing Boyun's heart became even more excited after being complimented. While chatting with the commander of the Black Armor Cavalry, Huan Taiyu, he quickly headed towards the Solitary Hill Mound. He couldn't wait to tour his new mound.

The distance from the capital to the Solitary Hill Monument was 280 miles, and it would take an ordinary caravan more than a day to get there. Even with Xing Boyun's purple horse, a sixth-grade exotic beast, he still had to travel 250 to 260 miles by taking a shortcut.

Fortunately, the black-armored cavalrymen who accompanied him as guards were all riding at least eighth-grade red chestnut horses. When the afternoon was almost over, the solitary hill and mound were already in sight.

"Haha, Commander Huantai, my new burial mound is right in front of us. Let's rest here for the night!"

Xing Boyun rode his purple horse at a frantic pace all the way. His face, which was exposed to the cold wind, was blown red, but he didn't care. He pointed at the solitary hill with the whip in his hand, and there was a hint of boasting in his words.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your consideration of us brothers. We will hunt around for a while, and then we can enjoy this blessed land at Your Highness's Lonely Hill in the evening!"

Huan Taiyu's personality is completely different from Taishu Bingxin and Liangqiu Juzhong. He cooperated very well with Xing Boyun and made the eldest son of Xinghou more and more satisfied.

However, as the team quickly approached the Solitary Hill Enshrinement Ground, Huan Taiyu could not help but wonder, "Sir, we are only five or six miles away from the Solitary Hill Enshrinement Ground, why can't we see any spiritual energy?
Usually, after being nourished by spiritual energy, even ordinary trees in the burial mound will often maintain dense green leaves. Look at the large number of giant trees in the burial mound, but they are all bare without a single leaf."

Xing Boyun had been grumbling in his heart, but when he heard Huan Taiyu's question, his expression suddenly changed: "Oh no, could it be that Long Chengyi was unwilling to hand over the precious land to someone else and destroyed all those spiritual plants?"

"Thump, thump, thump--" The team of nearly a hundred people accelerated towards the solitary hill. Xing Boyun was even more anxious and galloped ahead on his horse.

The continuous heavy snow had completely covered the farmland outside Guqiu. He arrived at the entrance of Guqiu village in one breath, then he reined in his horse in despair.

"Is this the legendary solitary mound filled with spiritual energy?" Huan Taiyu reined in his horse and stopped at the side and rear, his face extremely solemn and his eyes full of doubt.

The solitary hill that came into view was extremely dilapidated, not at all as beautiful as rumored.

The collapsed rammed earth walls, the dilapidated houses that leaned and crumbled in the cold wind, and the piles of feces left in the snow by the many herds of animals when they left a few days ago, exuded a rich scent of nutrients.

Qing Yi was certainly not so petty. Before leaving, he wreaked havoc on the burial mound of Guqiu. This was the damage caused during the Battle of Guqiu, and it had not been carefully repaired. When everyone left, it was inevitable that it would become dilapidated like this.

Xing Boyun himself didn't care about the construction of the house on the solitary hill. He didn't like it anyway, and he would rebuild a beautiful house in the future.

What he valued was the spiritual environment of the solitary hill and the large number of spiritual trees, spiritual medicines and spiritual herbs. He thought his dream had come true, but unexpectedly, it was all in vain. Now his dream is completely shattered.

"Long Chengyi, Long Chengyi, you bastard actually destroyed all the spiritual plants in Guqiu." Xing Boyun roared angrily to the sky, his eyes filled with bloodshot.

"Don't be angry, my lord!"

Huan Taiyu's eyes flickered, and he suggested in a low voice, "The vassal order has long stipulated many details about the migration of vassals. The migrating vassals are not allowed to destroy the buildings and plants in the fiefdom.

Now the Solitary Hill Mound is in this state. The behavior of Doctor Yishang of Longcheng is really despicable. We might as well look for the traces of his destruction of the spiritual plants first, and then report it to the ministers in the court.

Even if we cannot do anything to him, a senior official, for the time being, we should at least ask him to compensate the prince for the loss of his Guqiu fiefdom. What do you think, prince?"

"Well, that's right, Commander Huantai's suggestion is very much to my liking!" Xing Boyun's angry eyes flashed with a hint of intention, which would be more beneficial to him.

After pondering for a moment, Xing Boyun's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Anyway, the status quo of the Solitary Hill is irreversible. I'll trouble you to help me find any traces of the destruction of the Solitary Hill. You will definitely benefit from it."

Huan Taiyu also smiled knowingly: "Anyway, the Dragon City Yi Shang Doctor has not left the capital yet. As long as we find evidence in time, the ministers in the court will definitely act fairly.

In addition, over the past month, the Beihuang Grain and Oil Group under the name of Doctor Yishang of Longcheng has been making a fortune. Maybe we can also get some shares. That would be the hen that lays golden eggs."

With hope in his heart, Xing Boyun personally cleared the snow with dozens of Black Armor Cavalrymen, trying to find any traces left by Qing Yi's destruction of spiritual plants, medicines and herbs.

Dozens of Black Armored Riders, each of whom had at least the strength of a sixth-rank upper-rank armored soldier, cleared away the large tracts of snow like a snowplow, but they were so busy that they didn't find any trace until the sun set and night fell.

"Sir, we have searched the entire Solitary Hill enclosure, and there is no trace of any damage to the enclosure. Not to mention the remains of spiritual medicines and herbs, there is not even the slightest trace of the spiritual wood you mentioned."

Huan Taiyu's suggestion failed, which made him look unhappy. He thought in a low voice,
"Based on this analysis, there are only two possibilities. Either there have never been these spiritual plants in the solitary mound, or the Dragon City Doctor Yishang started to clean up these spiritual plants several months ago, leaving no traces behind."

"Good, what a great Dragon City B!"

Xing Boyun's mood was very up and down that day. He worked hard for a long time but got nothing in return. He gnashed his teeth in hatred, and the blood in his chest surged and he almost vomited blood.

"Now you are a senior official and I can't do anything to you. When I inherit the throne one day, I will have the chance to avenge myself."
