With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

With Eileen guiding them, construction started much faster.

Because she drew the blueprints, the subsequent construction plans for the palace were all discussed and designed together by them.

After working for an hour, it was time to wrap up at 3:45 PM and everyone went home together.

"Brother, you take the men and go first." Nangong Wu told Nangong Xiao to leave first.

Nangong Xiao understood what she meant and nodded slightly, "Then you should hurry up too."

After everyone left, Nangong Wu took out a lot of water pipes from her spatial storage.

There are water supply pipes for tap water, drainage pipes for rainwater and sewage, as well as fire pipes and concrete pipes.

There are also pre-buried pipes, such as SC pipes and PVC electrical pipes for pre-buried wiring, mainly for carrying electrical wires and cables, since their palaces will also need electricity in the future.

"Master, after we finish building the royal city, let's build a solar power plant first. Otherwise, it's too boring without electricity," Eileen said.

"If the photovoltaic panels can also be automatically replenished, then we don't need to wait until the capital is built. We have plenty of people; we can just find a place to install the solar photovoltaic panels."

"Once the inner city walls are built, we'll build the palace first. I want to have the palace completed within a year," Nangong said.

The children can't always stay in the space. Once the palace is built, a security system must be installed so that the father and children will be safe living here.

"If the building materials are used to build the palace first, it can be completed in a year," Eileen said.

"Let's go! I still need to go to the cement factory after we eat." Nangong Wu started walking out.

********

That evening, Nangong Wu went to the cement factory again, retrieved the solar photovoltaic panels and some cables, and instructed Su Siyan to make sure that the items were carefully guarded.

The next day, construction began on the clinic, using the timber that had been felled earlier.

About ten days later, Nangong Xiao received a series of messages from the Blood Moon Society sent back by carrier pigeons from various places, saying that the Crown Prince Beichen Yan of Nanqi Kingdom was about to marry Nangong Wu as his Crown Princess, and the wedding day was set for March 18th.

Bei Chenyan sent out invitations to the world, inviting royal families and leaders of righteous martial arts sects from various countries to attend the ceremony. This news has spread throughout the courts and martial arts sects of various countries, causing a sensation throughout the world.

All those who received Bei Chenyan's invitation were invited to travel to Nanqi Kingdom, and the royal family sent important figures to offer their congratulations.

The final secret letter also stated that the marriage between the Crown Prince of Nanqi and the Princess had already affected the situation of various countries around the world.

Upon hearing this news, Nangong Wu became worried instead.

It's just a wedding, why is Bei Chenyan making such a fuss? They haven't even announced their marriage in Runan City yet, and this guy has already made it known to the whole world.

Their enemies—Ling Yangzi, the remnants of Changyang Temple, the remnants of the Snake Spirit Society, and those they had offended before—would surely cause trouble on that day.

Seeing that she looked unwell, Nangong Xiao advised her:

"Sister, there's no need to worry too much. The Crown Prince isn't an impulsive person. He must have made sure he has a foolproof plan. Perhaps he can even use this wedding to get rid of all our enemies."

Huo Jing's expression was also not good, but he could understand Bei Chenyan's actions. He said:

"Bei Chenyan is the crown prince, and the wedding of the crown prince is a major event of the country. Usually, royal families from various countries will be invited to come and offer their congratulations."

He invited martial arts sects, as he was also a disciple of the Kunlun Sect. Inviting the leaders of various sects might also be part of his plan. If Ling Yangzi and the Snake Spirit Society dared to cause trouble, he could capture them on the spot and let the guests witness their evil deeds.

"Father is right," Nangong Xiao agreed with him.

Hearing their words, Nangong Wu also felt that what was bound to happen would happen eventually, and there was no way to avoid it.

On this day, Nangong Xiao also announced the happy news that Nangong Wu was about to marry the Crown Prince of Nanqi, which caused quite a stir in the city, with much speculation and private discussion.

Passerby A: "Wasn't it said that Princess Runing was going to marry into the royal family? How come she suddenly married into the Southern Qi Kingdom?"

Passerby B: "Hey! The princess is going to marry the crown prince of the Southern Qi Kingdom. How could the crown prince of a country possibly marry into the family?"

Passerby C: "I heard that the three children the princess gave birth to are the offspring of the Crown Prince of Nanqi. They've been together for a long time!"

Passerby Ding: "I think it's great. The princess married the crown prince of Nanqi and will become the empress, ruling the world. She also has three children, so her position is secure."

"Once Runan City is built, and we establish our kingdom, with the Prince of Zhenyuan ascending the throne and his son being named Crown Prince, we can form a powerful alliance with the Southern Qi Kingdom, and everyone will be happy."

"That's true!"

Everyone felt that what the passerby Ding said made sense.

Nangong Xiao will also be the crown prince, making this brother and sister's status truly unparalleled.

"Brother, do you have any news about Nangong Chengkun?" Nangong Wu asked.

"Yes, the secret letter said that after the New Year, Nangong Chengkun secretly left the capital for nearly a month. Our people did not follow him and do not know where he went."

But for someone as cowardly, treacherous, and cunning as him to leave Kyoto for so long, there must be something very important to him.” Nangong Xiao showed her one of the secret letters.

After reading the secret letter, Nangong Wu knew exactly where Nangong Chengkun had gone.

That bastard is really lucky.

Eileen leaned close to her ear and whispered, "This Nangong Chengkun isn't dead. He must have left before we found Zeng Guanhai!"

"What are you whispering about?" Nangong Xiao had a feeling that they were hiding something from him.

"It's nothing..." Nangong Wu returned the secret letter to him.

My brother didn't know about their treasure hunt in Taigu Town, Beidi Kingdom. Since he didn't know, I shouldn't tell him.

Nangong Xiao knew many of his younger sister's secrets, so he didn't press further. "I heard the clinic is finished and they're hanging up the plaque today. It's called 'Puji Pharmacy,' right?"

"Yes, it's a new opening. I'll go take a look now." Nangong Wu started walking out.

"Sister," Nangong Xiao suddenly called out to her again, "It's almost the end of the month, and your wedding to the Crown Prince is approaching. Why don't you go to Nanqi Kingdom for a visit? Or perhaps I can go with you?"

My younger sister is marrying far away to the Southern Qi Kingdom, and to the crown prince no less. In the past, they would have prepared a generous dowry for her and sent her off a month earlier.

But Father said that his sister's dowry had been prepared in Nanqi Kingdom, so they didn't need to do anything. They just needed to take his sister's helicopter three days in advance.

"You don't need to go. My father has already discussed my marriage with Bei Chenyan with His Majesty of Nanqi! But I will go again, let's go today!" Nangong Wu remembered that she had promised Bei Chenyan that she would go to see him again in half a month, and today was exactly half a month later.

Nangong Xiao had no choice but to nod. "Then go ahead! Nothing is more important than your life's most important matter. I'll take care of things in Runan City."
