The vassal's vassal, not my vassal.
This rule was very popular in the western feudal countries, but it didn't seem to be very popular in the eastern world.
My Great Yan Dynasty has its own national conditions.
But even so, the Monarch overstepping his authority and appointing Jin Shiying as the Raging Tide City Lord had already crossed the bottom line of Xuan Wu Mansion.
Although many of the ancestral rules have been broken because of the new policies, your rules are too cruel.
In the end, under Shen Lang's persuasion, Xuanwu endured it.
Now, there was another decree.
Summoning Shen Lang to the capital?
Xuanwu couldn't bear it anymore and his expression changed.
The eunuch said: "Shen, receive the decree. It's great news that the Monarch has summoned you. Prepare to leave immediately."
Xuanwu said: "Eunuch, are you also going to wait in Xuanwu City and prepare to enter the capital with my son-in-law?"
The eunuch did the same thing to Jin Mucong last time. It was as if the eunuch was escorting Jin Mucong to the capital.
The eunuch said: "Xuanwu must be joking. Anyway, we have already sent the decree. As for whether to go or not, it's up to Xuanwu."
Then, the eunuch left.
… …
"Not going!"
"Not going!"
Xuanwu and his wife said in unison.
"Not going."
The newly appointed Raging Tide City Lord Jin Shiying said.
Originally, he had always been in charge of military affairs in Raging Tide City, but after the monarch conferred him the title of Raging Tide City Lord, he no longer went to Raging Tide City. Instead, he focused on the defense of Count Black Tortoise's mansion.
He had already decided that unless Xuanwu and Jin Zhuo were in Raging Tide City, he would never stay there alone, nor would he have military power.
Jin Shiying said: "Our Monarch really doesn't have the slightest bit of kindness like the late king. He's mean and merciless. If son-in-law doesn't go to the capital, what can he do? He'll just drag it out. "
Previously, Jin Shiying was a man of few words.
But now that there was a place where he could make a stand, he had to make a stand, and his stand was very clear and firm.
Old Master Lin said, "Anyway, the envoys from the Wu Kingdom are coming in waves. The one who is anxious should be the Monarch. Isn't he afraid of another upheaval in Yanzhou?"
Su Peipei said, "The capital is like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. I'm afraid Lang'Er will only suffer if he goes there. I won't go!"
At this moment, Shen Lang smiled and said, "No, I want to go."
Everyone was shocked by his words.
The way the Monarch handled things was the epitome of the unpredictable nature of a monarch.
First, he issued three edicts in succession, rewarding Zhang Chong for the so-called merit of annihilating the Pirate King Chou Tianwei.
Just when everyone thought that Zhang Chong was going to rise, a corruption case sent Zhang Chong to prison.
As a result, countless people began to throw stones at him when he was down. Memorials of impeachment flew into the palace like snowflakes, simply wanting to hack Zhang Chong into a thousand pieces.
In the end, all of them were suppressed, and the registrar who jumped the hardest died in prison.
If any of you want to kill Zhang Chong, then I will kill you first.
Now, it was the same for the Xuan Wu Mansion.
He overstepped his authority and conferred Jin Shiying the title of Nu Tiancheng, challenging Xuanwu's bottom line.
He also summoned Shen Lang to the capital, looking like he was going to choose someone to devour.
In short, he just didn't let anyone guess what he was going to do. He wanted to make people feel that the power of heaven was unfathomable.
Shen Lang said, "The Monarch is like a tiger, and we were originally a deer that he could easily kill. But we entered the sea and changed from a deer to a sea snake. The tiger can't go into the sea for the time being and can't kill us. Then what will it do? "
Count Xuanwu said, "He roared at the surface of the sea and tore another deer on the shore into pieces. He was awe-inspiring and his killing intent surged into the sky."
Shen Lang said, "Yes! To a certain extent, the Tang family took the blame for the Monarch. The Monarch didn't hate him at all, but in order to intimidate us and the other old nobles, he directly chopped Tang Lun in half, killing half of the Tang family. This was killing the chicken to warn the monkey. "
"At this time, the person he hates the most is not us, but Zhang Chong. Previously, he thought highly of Zhang Chong and treated him as the blade of the new government. Even before the mission in Nu Jiang County was completed, he had already planned his next position, Yanzhou's military governor. "
"The Monarch really thought highly of Zhang Chong and groomed him. He made him a ruthless official twice, once in Dongjiang City and once in Nu Jiang County. After that, he wanted to train him in Yanzhou to see the big picture and have him make achievements in foreign affairs and military politics. He really wanted him to be a loyal subject, but in the end, Zhang Chong was defeated in Nu Jiang County. "
"In our eyes, Zhang Chong was already extremely powerful. He snatched away the other half of the Leizhou Archipelago. He did his best to turn the tide and prevent the situation from developing in the worst direction. In fact, it couldn't be considered a failure. "
"But in the eyes of the monarch, a failure is a failure. He doesn't look at the process, only the results."
"With Zhang Chong's defeat, the new government suffered a huge setback, and the Monarch lost a lot of face. In his heart, he really wanted to immediately kill Zhang Chong."
"But he still calmed down and used a trivial corruption charge to lock Zhang Chong in the Supreme Court's prison. He didn't try him, didn't sentence him, and didn't release him. He just hid him."
"Now that the new government is about to be suspended, my Xuan Wu Mansion is going to be the king across the sea. What is the most important thing to the Monarch? Monarch prestige and face. "
"That's why he wants to kill until blood flows like a river, to make people tremble in fear."
"He is like a tiger that, when returning to its nest, purposely roars in the forest to make the group of beasts kneel on the ground and not dare to make a sound."
"If he really wants to fight or kill, he will instead have a gentle attitude and show concern. If he intends to retract his claws, he will instead have an awe-inspiring murderous aura and intimidate everyone. "
"So as long as I enter the capital, the decree to confer the title of father-in-law will most likely come down."
With this analysis from Shen Lang, Xuan Wu and the rest were immediately amazed.
Originally, they were really looking at flowers through a fog with the Monarch's recent actions. They didn't know what this supreme wanted to do.
Moreover, they were also filled with apprehension and fear.
So much so that Xuan Wu was almost prepared to leak the news of negotiations with the Wu State and almost used this trump card.
However, all this was just a bluff by the Monarch, a crazy test of the Kim family.
Now that they heard Shen Lang's analysis, the situation in front of them suddenly became clear.
"And even if the Monarch didn't summon me to the capital, I would still go myself." Shen Lang gritted his teeth and said: "Su Jianting actually rushed into our house, not only killed more than a hundred people, but also injured mother-in-law and Mulan. If I don't take revenge for this, how can I still have the face to show off? If I don't exterminate the Su family, I am not worthy to be Mulan's Husband, and I am not worthy to be mother-in-law's son-in-law. "
These words made Su Peipei's heart burst with joy.
"Kill, kill them all." Mother-in-law had always been clear about her likes and dislikes, which was the opposite of Xuan Wu's personality.
Xuanwu said: "Lang 'er, if the Monarch wants to test me, why not summon me to see him? That would be more justifiable. "
Shen Lang: "The Monarch knows exactly what kind of person you are. And what kind of person I am, the Monarch still doesn't know. He wants to confirm whether our family will rebel or not. "
These words couldn't be more correct.
Not only could the Monarch see Xuanwu's character clearly, everyone else also understood.
Even after Tang Lun was captured by Xuanwu, he didn't worry about his own safety at all. Xuanwu promised to let Tang Lun go, and the other side immediately believed him.
Even the enemy absolutely trusted you. With a character like father-in-law, Shen Lang really didn't know whether to be proud or helpless.
If it was Shen Lang?
Tsk!
I can't believe a single punctuation mark you say.
These two people's character, one is infinitely positive, the other infinitely negative. I really don't know how this father-in-law and son-in-law can get along.
Shen Lang: "So, whether our Kim family rebels or not, the key lies with me, not with father-in-law. The Monarch summons me to see if I have any intention of rebelling. Also, he hopes that I, a scourge, will stay away from father-in-law, lest the Kim family expand further. "
Su Peipei said: "Then the Monarch will probably be disappointed. Rebellion is such a tiring thing, I don't like it, and neither does Lang'Er."
Shen Lang: "Isn't that so, I only live in this world for two purposes. First, to enjoy glory and wealth. Second, to have no enemies in the world. "
These words sounded really generous.
No enemies in the world.
There were two explanations for this. One was that he was especially broad-minded and never made enemies.
The other was that he would kill all those who offended him, and then there would be no enemies.
Master Lang was obviously the latter.
…
In the courtyard!
Although it was daytime, Shen Lang and Mulan fought fiercely again, and then lay down with their necks intertwined.
"Wife, don't worry, I will definitely not cheat on you when I go to the capital this time."
"You can absolutely trust my character. You've seen Zhang Chunhua, how beautiful and vixen she is. She seduced me like that, but I didn't cheat on her. "
"You've also seen Xu Qianqian, this woman is shameless. She tried every possible way to seduce me on the ship, but I never gave her any face. In the end, she came to borrow money from you, not me, because she was too ashamed to see me."
Xu Qianqian didn't hear these words, or she would probably have scolded Shen Lang to death.
You scum, I don't want to see you, not that I don't dare to.
You scoundrel, even if I sleep with you, you won't give me any benefits, I can only sleep with you for free.
You scum, you have no morals. I, Xu Qianqian, have suffered more losses because of you than I have eaten salt in my life.
Shen Lang solemnly swore that he would keep his chastity.
As he stroked his wife's neck, he felt a little restless, but then he stopped.
Sigh!
He had used up all his strength.
His kidneys were almost hollowed out.
So what Master Lang said was the truth.
The Shen Lang of the Sage Era was like a Buddha, without any desires.
But Mulan didn't listen to any of this. She didn't even have time to think about Shen Lang's affair.
The moment she thought about Shen Lang leaving her side, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Young passion.
During this period of time, the two of them were like conjoined twins. Not to mention eating and sleeping together, they even wanted to pee together.
How could they bear to be apart for a day?
The thought of Husband not being by her side, not being able to hear his dirty words, not being able to smell his scent, made Mulan feel restless.
There were a few times when she wanted to say that she would follow him to the capital.
But thinking about it, it was impossible. She had a heavy responsibility.
Her father and Jin Shiying were in Fury Tide City all year round, and the defense of Xuan Wu Mansion fell on her.
At this time, Mulan wanted to kill Jin Mucong for the first time.
You good-for-nothing, if you were a little stronger, I would be able to be with my Husband.
Shen Lang said softly, "Baby, is there a super powerful internal art that you can become a Grandmaster after practicing for a year and a half?"
Mulan didn't want to hear this at all. She just wanted to be with Shen Lang.
"No."
Shen Lang said, "Nine Yin Manual, Nine Yang Divine Art, Absorbing Stars Great Technique, Dark North Divine Art. You don't have any of these?"
"No!"
Shen Lang said, "How can there not be any? Then what's the point of practicing martial arts in this world? Every martial art has to be practiced for more than ten years to become a Grandmaster. Who has the time to do that? The pace of the world is so fast now. What we want is to reach level 999 in one strike. It's really boring to practice martial arts slowly. No one wants to play if the experience gain is slow. "
Mulan was speechless. Only she could understand Husband's nonsense.
She still remembered Shen Lang's request to practice martial arts last time. He wanted to practice for an hour every day, not too hard, and become a top expert within a year.
There was no way to communicate with such a martial arts idiot.
"Is there a kind of internal art that can be practiced for ten years in one year?" Shen Lang asked.
"No."
Shen Lang said, "What about five years in one year?"
Mulan bit Shen Lang's chest and said coquettishly, "No! Stop talking about martial arts. I just want to hug you. Don't be so noisy. "
Shen Lang was silent for a while, then said, "Is there a kind that can be practiced for three years in one year?"
Mulan Youyou raised her head and said, "Husband, are you looking down on my martial arts? You've seen how powerful Chou Yao Er is, so you look down on me, right? "
Shen Lang's scalp went numb. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, how can that be! How can a weakling like me look down on my wife's martial arts? "
In reality, Master Lang really couldn't wait any longer.
He still wanted to raise his wife to become the world's top expert.
But now it seemed like it would be quite difficult.
Some people don't need to be raised to become the world's top expert.
Like the Big Fool, like Chou Yao Er.
But how I want to bring Mulan to slap Chou Yao Er to the ground one day.
Why are you so arrogant?
Shen Lang Youyou said, "Wife, when will you become the world's top expert? Even in my dreams, I imagine a scene where I bring you directly to Chou Yao Er, point at her and tell her to f * ck her. After that, you rush up and slap her to death on the ground. "
Mulan suddenly sat up.
I have this dream too!
I, Jin Mulan, want to slap Chou Yao Er, that demoness, to death even in my dreams.
You actually took my Husband's first time.
I even suspect that Husband's poor performance in the beginning had something to do with you.
You trampled on my Husband, leaving a shadow in his heart. That's why he wasn't able to do it before.
Following this, Mulan also became serious. She said, "My teacher said that there is an ancient secret internal technique that is very powerful. It can double the results with half the effort."
Shen Lang said, "Just tell me that practicing this internal technique for one year is equivalent to practicing normally for a few years."
Mulan was very helpless. The path of martial arts was very profound and sacred. Husband, must you use such a naive tone?
"Probably one year is equivalent to two years."
Shen Lang said, "That useless?"
Mulan was speechless.
How could this be considered trash? This was clearly a heaven-defying inner force secret manual, okay?
And it was a legendary secret technique that even her teacher Zhong Chuke and Li Qianqiu had never seen before.
Shen Lang said, "Wife, what is this internal technique called? I'll get it for you. Is it at the Sky-sea Pavilion? "
Mulan Youyou said, "Are you planning to use your pretty boy tactics to trick Zhang Yuyin into giving it to you?"
"How … how is that possible?" Shen Lang said, "Even if I use my pretty boy tactics, I promise I won't lose my chastity."
Mulan said, "It's not at the Sky-sea Pavilion."
Shen Lang asked, "Then what's it called?"
"Hell Marriage Technique," Mulan said.
Shen Lang said, "Alright, I'll remember that. I'll definitely get it and give it to you as a gift for your 22nd birthday."
"Shut up," Mulan said coquettishly, "Don't talk about my age. I'll always be the same age as you."
Mulan was older than Shen Lang by two and a half years, and she was still brooding over it.
But Master Lang loved women older than him the most.
Little girls like Xiao Bing might look frivolous on the surface, but in reality, they were completely useless.
A woman like Mulan.
She was like a hidden treasure that could not be dug out no matter how hard she tried.
She was never tired of it.
As for Bing'er? She was a loser, unable to fight.
She was nothing like Mulan. Shen Lang had to struggle to the end to barely be on par with her.
And this was when Mulan showed mercy.
Otherwise …
… …
At night!
Shen Lang accompanied his parents for dinner.
Hearing that Shen Lang was going to the capital, his parents were very worried and hesitated to speak.
But in the end, they didn't say anything.
There was a palm print on Shen Jian's face.
"Who did it?" Shen Lang asked.
Shen Jian didn't dare to speak. He raised his head and looked at his mother. It was obviously his mother.
Shen Lang asked, "What's wrong?"
His mother said, "Your brother comes from a poor family, and he's always doing things. I'm worried that he won't be able to find a wife. In the end, the in-laws introduced a girl to him. She's also a girl from our village. She's well-educated, and her father is a scholar who teaches in the Count House. Her grandfather is the Count's trusted aide. Do you know her? "
How could he not know Old Master Lin?
He was definitely one of them.
He was the most loyal servant of the Count House, and he was the adopted son of the old Count. He had a very high status.
Mother-in-law actually introduced Old Master Lin's granddaughter to Shen Jian?
Shen Lang had vaguely seen that girl before. She was gentle and timid.
"And then?"
His mother said, "Old Master Lin also agreed. That girl actually saw your brother and actually agreed as well. I really don't know what she was thinking."
Shen Jian was speechless.
Am I your biological son? Am I really that unpopular? How can a girl say that she's blind when she likes me?
Am I that useless? Can't there be girls who like me?
His mother continued, "Of course I'm happy to have such a good girl like Miss Lin as my daughter-in-law. I quickly settled the relationship between our two families. In the end, you know what that bastard Shen Jian said. He said that he won't marry Miss Lin, but Maple Leaf Village's Widow Liu. "
Ah?!
Shen Lang was shocked.
Brother, are you that infatuated?
Still thinking about Widow Liu?
Do you like women older than you that much?
The key is that she's older than you by seven or eight years.
Not every woman could be like Qiu Yao'er, who would never grow old or die.
His mother said, "We're about to get engaged, but that bastard insists that he won't marry Miss Lin and wants to marry Widow Liu. How can I not be angry? I just slapped him a few times. I only stopped when Dalang came home. Otherwise, I would have continued. When I was done, your father would hit him again. "
Mulan had been carefully picking out the fish bones for Shen Lang and then feeding the fresh fish meat to Shen Lang. When she heard her mother-in-law's interesting words, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
At that moment, his mother's gaze towards Mulan was about to melt.
Sigh!
Such a great fortune. He actually married such a good daughter-in-law.
Such a noble daughter had spoiled Shen Lang to the point that he was a silkpants who had everything at his beck and call.
His mother said, "Shen Jian, your brother and sister-in-law are here, so I'll make things clear for you. This marriage was recommended by my in-laws. If you dare to disagree, I'll beat you to death. Anyway, I have Dalang. It doesn't matter if I have a son or not. "
Shen Jian shrunk his neck and said timidly, "But … I promised Widow Liu that I would marry her after I became rich."
Shen Lang said, "Then did Widow Liu agree?"
Shen Jian became even more timid, "No …"
Shen Lang was speechless. Even Widow Liu's side was your own wishful thinking.
… …
After the meal.
Mulan accompanied her mother to sew clothes.
Although it wasn't written, in the past two months, Shen Lang and Mulan spent half of their time at the Count House and the other half at their parents' home.
The Shen family was now very imposing.
Shen Lang was rich and showy. He built a huge house that was tens of acres.
There were pavilions, gardens, ponds, and everything else.
Even though less than a fifth of it was built, it was already livable.
Shen Lang brought his brother to the unfinished garden.
"Brother, tell me, what do you think?" Shen Lang said, "I've seen Widow Liu. She's not bad, but she's a little fat. Her waist isn't thin enough, and her skin isn't fair enough. Although she's big, her shape is only above average."
Uh!
Shen Jian was speechless.
Shen Lang said, "In the past, if you could marry such a wife, Mom and Dad would wake up laughing in their dreams. But now that our family is rich, you have to set your sights higher. You have to marry a beautiful woman. You have to marry a beautiful woman from a good family. You have to have style. "
Shen Jian felt that his brother's words had no style and were too vulgar.
Brother, you've done so many great things. I thought you were like a god.
Now that you're so vulgar, aren't you destroying my idol?
Shen Lang said, "I've seen Old Master Lin's granddaughter before. She's extremely innocent and pure, and she's also beautiful and refined. You don't want such a good daughter-in-law, but you want to marry Widow Liu. Have you gone mad?"
Most importantly, marrying Widow Liu was Shen Jian's own wishful thinking.
After a long while, Shen Jian said, "Brother, that's what I think. I only have this glory and wealth because of you. I'm just a good-for-nothing. I … I'm not worthy of Miss Lin. "
Shen Lang was stunned. So that's what you think. You're just feeling inferior.
Shen Lang said, "Then do you like Miss Lin?"
Shen Jian said, "Who wouldn't like a beautiful, well-born, and cultured lady? But I'm worried that she won't be willing. Because Madam Count is the matchmaker, the Lin family won't dare to disagree. But wouldn't that make Miss Lin feel wronged? So I took the initiative to say that I'm not marrying so that the Lin family can refuse. "
Shen Lang smacked the back of his brother's head and said, "You have the mentality of a loser. You can't have the mentality of a loser."
Following that, Shen Lang pulled his brother into the Count House and came in front of Miss Lin.
Before they even got close, Miss Lin's face turned red. She wanted to shrink her head into her neck.
She was indeed beautiful, and she was timid and shy.
"Lin Yinyin, do you like my brother, Shen Jian?" Shen Lang said, "He's worried that he's not worthy of you and doesn't dare to marry you. He was beaten by my mother."
Shen Jian was so embarrassed that he wanted to die. He wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it.
"Brother, I-I'm leaving first …"
Shen Lang grabbed him.
The girl, Lin Yinyin, nodded quickly and ran away even faster.
This girl didn't lie. She really liked Shen Jian.
Why?
Because his father was a scholar, and so was his grandfather. The whole family was boring. It wasn't interesting at all.
Especially his father, who was extremely pedantic.
Shen Jian felt good. It was quite interesting. More importantly, it was his son-in-law's brother.
What's wrong with this marriage?
The next day, the two families decided on the good thing.
The Lin family and the Shen family were officially engaged.
…
The next day, Shen Lang left Xuan Wu Mansion and headed for the capital.
It was very extravagant.
Just his clothes alone filled several carriages.
Shen Shisan and dozens of warriors from the Count House followed.
Huang Feng and nineteen experts from the Heavenly Dao Society followed.
There were more than a hundred riders. They were majestic and imposing.
Mulan and her mother-in-law escorted them for thirty miles, then another thirty miles, and finally a hundred miles.
Only then did they part reluctantly.
Finally, Shen Lang and Mulan officially completed the achievement of shaking the carriage.
Three days later!
Shen Lang arrived at the capital and went directly to the palace to see the Monarch!
