Chu Rong's actions had already deeply shocked everyone.

This was the first step that Xia Xinghe had taken to ascend the throne for Chu Rong … People's hearts!

The people of Dingguo City were all despicable and shameless. If Chu Rong could make these people accept his people's hearts, then his prestige would rise to an unimaginable level!

Naturally, if there were gains, there would be a price to pay. Xia Xingchen would rather become the demon that tens of thousands hated, so he would lay a solid foundation for Chu Rong's road to becoming the next heir!

This was the crux of Xia Xinghe's chess game!

And now, the result was obvious. Xia Xinghe had succeeded. As long as he let this group of people go, Chu Rong's reputation would reach an unprecedented level in Dingguo City. It might even be higher than the statue inside!

Xia Xinghe's face was as dark as water, without showing any signs of joy or anger, he only coldly swept his eyes over the group of people kneeling on the ground, paying their respects to Chu Rong and the other large clans. Finally, Xia Xinghe waved his hands, turned around and walked into the ancestral hall.

When Xia Xinghe's figure completely disappeared from everyone's line of sight, tens of thousands of people couldn't help but cheer in unison, as if the mountain was flipped over in their hearts. The terrifying sound wave not only swept through the entire city, but also caused the earth to tremble!

"Finally, I don't have to die anymore!"

"Long live the 4th Prince!"

"We will remember the grace of His Highness the fourth prince for his survival!"

Cheers resounded through the horizon like a tsunami, filling every corner and every inch of Dingguo City.

The members of the various great families who had narrowly escaped death no longer knew how to express the joy in their hearts. They could only shout out in joy and use all the words they could think of to worship Chu Rong …

At the same time, in the ancestral hall.

Xia Xinghe, Chu Qingcheng, Lan Yiyi, Jing Er and Kong Dashan were all present. As for Chu Rong, he was still out there calming the hearts of the citizens.

No one said anything. Everyone's gazes were focused on Kong Shan who had appeared out of nowhere, especially Jing Er. He did not know who Kong Shan was, nor the information collected by the Shadow Squad's information network, nor did it indicate that there was such a person by Xia Xingchen's side.

"This is …" Jing Er stared at Kong Dashan and asked hesitantly.

"Zuo Xiao." Kong Dashan smiled sinisterly, and his face began to twist and change. Within the span of a few breaths, his face had turned into Zuo Xiao's!

It turned out that when the Shadow Army's Blood Slaughter Three Great Families were fighting, Zuo Xiao had used his special innate ability to change his appearance into Kong Shan's, and then blended into the crowd. He then quietly followed Xia Xinghe into the ancestral hall.

"Interesting." Jing Er stared at Zuo Xiao with great curiosity and looked him up and down for a good fifteen minutes before spitting out these words. Then, Jing Er turned to Xia Xing and asked tentatively, "Young Master Xia, Zuo Xiao is your subordinate, right?"

Xia Xinghe didn't say anything, only indifferently nodding his head.

Receiving Xia Xinghe's affirmation, Jing Er smiled in relief and said: "Since Zuo Xiao is Young Master Xia's subordinate, then I have no right to interfere. Jing Er will take his leave now. Prince Wu's Estate will be waiting for Young Master Xia at any time!"

Finished speaking, Jing Er clasped his hands towards Xia Xinghe and walked out of the ancestral hall.

As soon as Jing Er left the ancestral hall, Zuo Xiao frowned and said to Xia Xingchen in a soft voice, "Young master, when I was in the Jin Kingdom, I did a detailed investigation on the Prince Wu's residence. To be honest, the Prince's residence has never been so humble before.
