Ning Yuanxian's vanity was a bit more stylish and pretentious.
Qiang Emperor Arugan's vanity was more direct and crude, even more vulgar than Shen Lang.
In order to receive the envoys from the various kingdoms, he had filled his palace with all sorts of treasures.
He had even brought his treasury here.
The three-meter mirror that Shen Lang had given him, as well as the glowing jade statue that was one meter tall, were the most important things he had to show off.
Of course, showing off was just showing off. It was impossible for him to feel grateful towards Shen Lang because of this.
It's your honor to give me something. It's your honor to steal something from me.
This was the motto of the Qiang King, Arugan.
The Qiang Kingdom was a land of harsh winters.
But Emperor Qiang was extremely wealthy. His palace was even larger than the Yue Kingdom's, and the roof was even gilded.
The people of the Qiang Kingdom, on the other hand, were extremely poor.
But Arugan felt that this was normal. Strangely, the Qiang people also felt that this was normal.
For hundreds of years, the Qiang people had always been poor, and this was only natural.
But this situation had changed.
After mastering the vaccination technique, Emperor Qiang began to collect money for vaccination.
Do you want to be immune to the smallpox Reaper forever?
You can trade a cow or three sheep for it.
It's fine if you can't produce it right away. You can owe it, but you'll have to pay interest.
This price was sky-high.
But Shen Lang had already left, and the temple was empty.
An adult cow was precious, but compared to a human life, it wasn't too much.
Once infected with smallpox, the average Qiang person would die without a doubt.
As such, countless Qiang people came to get vaccinated despite the astronomical price. Because of Shen Lang's vaccination technique, the Qiang Kingdom's royal family became extremely wealthy.
But at that moment, a piece of good news began to spread.
Princess Aru Nana had established a tribe at the foot of the snowy mountain. There was a new temple there, and they could plant smallpox vaccines for everyone for free.
It was everyone. Not just the Qiang people, but the Sand Barbarians and the Western Regions as well.
Countless people immediately swarmed towards the foot of the snowy mountain.
In just a month, Princess Aru Nana's tribe had swelled to nearly a hundred thousand people.
And their numbers were still increasing.
Many people from the Western Regions and the Sand Barbarians also went there.
"Your Majesty, it's your birthday today, but Princess Lulu hasn't arrived yet." Su Nan's sister, the Princess Su Mo, said.
Hearing these words, King Qiang's expression turned cold, his eyes filled with rage.
This daughter of his was too disappointing. It was fine that she stood on the side of the gigolo, Shen Lang. Now, he was actually opposing him. I inoculate the Qiang people against smallpox, and I collect one cow at a time, but you're doing it for free?
Now, countless people have fled to your tribe.
Of course, even Aru Nana's tribe still belonged to the Qiang Kingdom.
But without King Qiang's unification, Aru Nana's actions were akin to treason.
The Qiang Kingdom would be handed over to Crown Prince Aruta in the future. What was a woman like Aru Nana fighting for?
Aruta said, "Aru Nana once said that ever since she got smallpox, no one cared about her, and no one dared to take a step into her isolation room. Therefore, she will no longer recognize you as her father, nor will she recognize me as her brother. Only the Big Fool and Xue Yin are her family. "
Queen Su Mo said, "Your Majesty, she only knows how to continuously undermine and win over people's hearts. Although she is your biological daughter, she has cut a wound on your body, causing you to bleed continuously. She will continue to suck your blood to become stronger. When she becomes stronger to a certain extent, perhaps she will turn on you, her father. "
"She dares?" King Qiang said coldly, "How many people does she have in her tribe now?"
Crown Prince Aruta of the Qiang Kingdom said, "100,000 people."
King Qiang's temples throbbed.
There were actually 100,000 people? His entire Qiang Kingdom added up only had a few hundred thousand people.
King Qiang asked, "How many warriors does she have?"
The crown prince said, "3,000."
Aru Nana indeed only had 3,000 warriors under her.
This was because most of the people who sought refuge with her were old and weak.
The strong warriors had all been won over by King Qiang, and the young warriors were free to inoculate themselves against smallpox.
Moreover, the warriors of the Qiang Kingdom liked to follow the strong. In their hearts, although Aru Nana was strong, she was still a woman, and far less powerful than King Qiang.
King Qiang picked up a large glass and filled it to the brim with wine. He downed it in one gulp.
Then, he walked out of the palace, found a majestic yak, and easily broke its horn.
The yak let out a blood-curdling screech, blood dripping from its body.
"My King is mighty."
"My King is invincible."
King Qiang handed the blood-stained horn to his fifth son. "Aruta, lead 3,000 men to the foot of the Great Snow Mountain to see Aru Nana. Bring this blood-stained horn with you. Tell her to come to my palace within ten days and kneel at my feet. If she doesn't make it, I will stab her to death with this horn. I gave her life, so I can naturally kill her. "
King Qiang's fifth son knelt down and took the blood-stained horn.
"Yes, Father."
Then, he rushed out of the palace excitedly, leading 3,000 men towards the foot of the Great Snow Mountain.
Shaking off his unhappiness, King Qiang continued to drink and enjoy himself.
"Minister Chu, this time, I will personally lead an army into the State of Yue. How much are you prepared to pay?" King Qiang asked.
This was how he was, no matter what, he would always talk about money.
"Two hundred thousand gold coins," the Chu envoy said.
King Qiang was enraged. "You are too stingy. Su Nan is so generous."
The Chu envoy said, "King Qiang, you can't say that. We are not only offering money, but also an army. The State of Yue has more than 100,000 soldiers stationed at the border. If your army charges into the western border of the State of Yue to plunder, what will you do if the Marquis of Western Defense, Zhong Yao, comes to intercept you? "
King Qiang said disdainfully, "Zhong Yao, what do I have to fear?"
The Chu envoy said, "You are invincible and naturally do not fear Zhong Yao. But you charge into the western border of the State of Yue to plunder, to satisfy your craving, to burn, kill, and rob. You do not wish to fight. As long as our Chu army moves, the State of Yue's western border army will not dare to leave. At that time, with the cooperation of the Su family, the entire western border will be your hunting ground. How much money, how many beauties, and how many slaves can you plunder? "
King Qiang said, "Three hundred thousand gold coins, not a single one less. Otherwise, I will not send my army."
The Chu envoy said helplessly, "As Your Majesty wishes."
The greed of this brute king really made one's hair stand on end.
Most importantly, after he obtained the gold coins, he did not use them to develop the country's strength, but to pave the ground and build the palace.
The golden bricks on the ground of the Wu and Chu palaces are all fake. Only the golden ground of the Qiang palace is real.
King Qiang drank another half a liter of wine.
He pulled over the other concubine of the Su family, Su Ning.
His large hands entered her body and played with her.
"I heard that Shen Lang's wife is very beautiful, right?"
Su Jianting said, "Yes, Jin Mulan's beauty is not inferior to Goddess Xue Yin's."
Thinking of Xue Yin, King Qiang could not help but fly into a rage.
King Qiang said, "The happiest thing for a man is to chop off the head of his enemy and rape their wives. Shen Lang barely qualifies for this."
Su Jianting said, "It's a pity that Jin Mulan is not in the capital, but on the distant eastern coast."
Moreover, Jin Mulan will not be King Qiang's turn.
Su Jianting continued, "But Shen Lang has a concubine in the capital. She's petite and voluptuous, and she's already pregnant."
King Qiang said, "That's not bad. I want her."
King Qiang had never lowered his head to anyone in his life. The only exception was Shen Lang.
Back then, in order to get Shen Lang to save his life, he had been forced to write a confession and even let Shen Lang build a shrine on the Qiang Kingdom's soil.
It was a great humiliation.
As a hero, he had to skin his enemies alive, then chop off their heads and place them aside.
Then, he would ravage his enemies' women in front of their heads.
Hahahaha!
Only then would it be satisfying.
He imagined that he would soon lead his army into the western border of the State of Yue, burning, killing, and plundering.
At that time, how much gold would he be able to plunder? How many beauties would he be able to plunder? How many slaves would he be able to plunder?
How many high and mighty people of the State of Yue would be reduced to pigs and sheep.
How civilized people of the State of Yue could only watch as their wives were ravaged.
How exhilarating would that be?
He would drink to his heart's content.
King Qiang suddenly picked up the broadsword beside him.
This broadsword was even larger than Aru Nana's. It was three meters long and weighed more than two hundred pounds.
Then, he began to wildly swing the broadsword in the hall.
In an instant.
It was as if a hurricane had swept through the hall.
The violent wind from the broadsword sent all the silver plates and plates on the table flying.
The whistling sound of the broadsword was like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves.
All the guests quickly dodged, pushing to the furthest corner of the hall.
Everyone's face was green, their hearts trembling in fear.
But they were cheering loudly.
"Our King is mighty."
"Our King is invincible."
This King Qiang was truly born with godly strength. His martial arts were truly superb.
At forty-nine years old, he was almost at his peak condition. (The previous chapter said that his forty-fifth birthday was wrong. It has been corrected.)
When he waved his broadsword, even those who were more than ten meters away could feel the pain from the wind from the broadsword.
Everyone in the hall could not open their eyes.
"Hahahahaha …"
"Emissary of the Sand Primitive Tribe, aren't you known as an expert of the Sand Primitive Tribe? Why don't you try it with This King? "
"Are the people of the Sand Barbaric Tribe all cowards?"
The emissary of the Sand Barbaric Tribe couldn't take it anymore.
Immediately, five Sand Primitive Tribe experts drew their sabers and charged forward.
The envoy of Chu could not bear to look at it.
The barbarians were barbarians.
As a king, he actually dared to make a move against the envoy of another country.
"Fight!"
"Sha!"
The five Sand Barbaric Tribe experts roared and charged towards Qiang King.
However …
The next second.
The five Sand Primitive experts were sent flying like kites.
Instant kill!
Blood spurted wildly in the air. When the five Sand Primitive Tribe experts landed on the ground, all their bones and tendons were broken, their internal organs shattered, and they died completely. The weapons in their hands were all shattered.
Five experts were instantly killed by Emperor Qiang in one move.
Emperor Qiang's godforce and true qi were truly heaven-defying.
Everyone was shocked to see this.
They had all heard that the Qiang King was invincible.
Hearing about you is not as good as meeting you in person.
This Qiang Emperor was even more powerful than the legends said.
Even Su Jianting's expression changed.
This Emperor Qiang was truly an invincible god of war.
Who was stronger, him or that demoness Chou Yao'er?
He had heard that Chou Yao'er would often charge at a thousand people alone and kill them all.
This kind of invincible god of war with innate godforce was one in a million.
Then, Su Jianting began to speculate whether his father Su Nan or Emperor Qiang was stronger in terms of martial arts.
Su Jianting quickly came to a conclusion.
His father Su Nan's martial arts were extremely high, and he rarely had a match in a one-on-one fight.
However, on the battlefield, Emperor Qiang was still heaven-defying.
Emperor Qiang was in excellent condition.
The Teal Dragon Saber in his hand danced faster and more fiercely.
Some people were frightened by this shocking saber aura and screamed as they ran away.
At this moment, not only were all the bowls and chopsticks in the hall overturned, even the treasures on the floor were shattered.
"Bang!"
The three-meter-tall mirror that Shen Lang had given him finally could not take it anymore. Even though it was so far away, it still shattered violently.
Su Mo's heart ached for the queen.
But Emperor Qiang laughed heartily.
So what if it was just a mirror?
This time, he had plundered the western region of the State of Yue. There was nothing he could not get, not even a single treasure.
This lunatic was like this.
These treasures seemed to be very precious to him, and he even specially placed them in his treasure vault.
However, he did not care at all. After showing off, he did not feel any pain in destroying them.
His gaze fell on the one-meter-tall emerald statue that Shen Lang had given him.
Emperor Qiang laughed sinisterly.
"I want to kill in all directions."
"I will lead an army into the State of Yue, burn, kill, and rob everything."
"I will make the State of Yue tremble with fear, and I will make the King of Yue tremble with fear."
"Swoosh!"
From a few meters away, Emperor Qiang swung his saber fiercely.
He slashed down from the sky.
"Bang!"
Instantly, the three-meter-tall emerald statue that Shen Lang had given him exploded violently.
"This king wants to chop off Shen Lang's head. After that, I will make him watch helplessly as I ravage his woman. Hopefully, that petite woman of his can endure this king's might and majesty. Hahahaha!"
Then!
Emperor Qiang's movements froze in an instant.
It was as if he had suddenly stopped playing a movie.
All his expressions and movements froze in an instant.
He was still incomparably majestic and domineering.
It was a pity that there was no camera.
Otherwise, this pose would have been extremely well executed.
Everyone around was stunned.
Was Emperor Qiang's invincible performance over?
Instantly, everyone clapped and cheered wildly.
"Our King is mighty."
"Our King is invincible."
"Our King is awe-inspiring."
However!
Emperor Qiang still did not have any reaction. He still stood there majestically, the super saber in his hand still in a chopping position.
The crowd could not help but be stunned.
Did the King think that their applause was not enthusiastic enough?
Thus, everyone clapped even more wildly, shouting at the top of their lungs, "Our King is mighty, our King is invincible."
However!
Emperor Qiang still did not have any reaction.
But, we really did try our best.
Our throats were about to break from shouting.
This Brute King was too difficult to serve.
And at this moment!
A few streaks of black blood flowed from Emperor Qiang's nostrils, ears, eyes, and mouth.
He was truly bleeding from his seven orifices.
Su Jianting was stunned. Queen Su Mo was stunned.
Crown Prince Alu was stunned.
A eunuch of the Qiang Kingdom quickly rushed forward and reached out to check Emperor Qiang's breath.
He was completely out of breath.
He was checking for a heartbeat. It was gone too.
Instantly, the eunuch exclaimed, "The King is dead."
Everyone was shocked.
How could Emperor Qiang not be dead?
The four poison balls in his body were almost completely penetrated. They were so fragile that they could not withstand a single blow.
He had been practicing his martial arts so crazily.
Especially the last domineering chop, which had directly crushed all the poison balls. The cyanide inside had entered his blood.
Instantly, he had died!
This invincible God of War had not died on the battlefield.
Instead, he had died at his own birthday banquet.
"Our King …" Queen Su Mo wailed. All the women wailed.
"Bang!"
Emperor Qiang's incomparably tall body directly collapsed.
… …
Shen Lang was locked in the underground cellar of the palace.
There was ice in there, and the temperature was extremely low. Even if it was summer, one would shiver in there.
If someone with Shen Lang's body went in there, it was guaranteed that he would be frozen to death in less than an hour.
Furthermore, when he was caught, he was dressed so thinly.
Hence, at this moment, Master Lang!
It was in full swing!
That's right, it was too hot.
He threw away the fox-fur coat on his body.
"Da Hou, what did you give me to drink? Why is it so hot? "
Princess Ning Yan said, "Wine!"
Shen Lang asked, "What wine? Why is it still red? "
Ning Yan said, "It's deer blood wine. I was afraid that you would freeze to death. As your brother, how could I just watch you die?"
Shen Lang was stunned.
Deer blood wine?
I … I drank so much?
No wonder my body was burning.
Then he looked at the tigress.
This woman was really gorgeous, just like a flame.
In this big ice cellar, Shen Lang was wearing a fox-fur coat, while the angry tigress was still wearing a thin knight's riding outfit.
The curves of her thighs, the curves of her waist and buttocks were simply too explosive.
This woman was really wild and beautiful.
Ning Yan was a little scared by Shen Lang's gaze.
"Scum, why are you looking at me like that? I've said it before. That day was the last time. From now on, we will be brothers. "
"You can't have any improper thoughts about me anymore."
Shen Lang said, "Look at what you're saying, what kind of person do you think I am? I, Shen Lang, am a man of integrity and will never do anything to let down my wife. "
Ning Yan said, "At least you have a little conscience."
Shen Lang said, "Come, drink, good brother."
Ning Yan said, "Come, drink, good brother!"
The two of them drank cup after cup.
Then inexplicably, the two of them rolled together again.
But this time, nothing really happened.
Because Shen Lang's alcohol tolerance was too poor, he directly drank it.
On the contrary, although Ning Yan was drunk, she still had the strength to strip most of her clothes, and most of Shen Lang's clothes were also taken off.
Then the alcohol kicked in.
Halfway through, he fell asleep from the drunkenness.
When Ning Yan woke up the next day.
She exclaimed again?
Why … did they sleep together again?
And covered with a quilt?
Who did this for us?
Who else could it be? Eunuch Li Sun asked the palace maids to cover it. Ning Yan's voice was so loud, it was hard for him not to hear it.
When she lifted the quilt, Ning Yan found that she was almost naked, and Shen Lang was also almost naked. The two of them were still entangled together.
Shen Lang's face was still covered in hickeys and teeth marks.
Although nothing really happened this time, the scene was still too much.
And at this time!
The door to the cellar was opened.
The Grand Chancellor Ning Yu walked in.
The Monarch had decreed to interrogate Shen Lang and Ning Yan, to ask if they had an affair.
Of course, the conclusion was that they didn't.
The so-called interrogation was just a formality.
How could the scandal of the royal family be confirmed?
"Shen Lang, get up, the Grand Chancellor has something to ask you." A eunuch beside him said.
Under the quilt, Shen Lang said in a daze, "Ask."
The Grand Chancellor said, "His Majesty wants me to ask you, do you have an improper relationship with Princess Ning Yan?"
"No, we're brothers, we're innocent." Shen Lang was half-awake: "I'm a clean man, how could I have an affair with another woman behind my wife's back, this is all just a rumor."
"Who can prove it?" the Grand Chancellor Ning Yu said.
Immediately, a woman's voice came from under Shen Lang's quilt.
"I can prove it."
Third Princess Ning Yan crawled out of the quilt and said, "Shen Lang and I are innocent, there's nothing between us!"
As soon as she said that, the Grand Chancellor Ning Yu's eyes twitched.
"Light the candles."
The candles were lit.
Several people could clearly see that Ning Yan and Shen Lang were sleeping under the quilt, Ning Yan was still on top of Shen Lang.
Although she was covered by the quilt, they could faintly see that she wasn't wearing any clothes.
Shen Lang's face was covered in hickeys and bite marks.
Fuck, you're still innocent?
This is too much.
In the palace, you still dare to roll into the same quilt?
Two people entangled like this, and you're telling me you're innocent?
This is too much!
The Grand Chancellor Ning Yu was furious.
Then he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was calm.
"Ning Yan, can you really prove that you and Shen Lang are innocent?"
Ning Yan said, "That's right, our relationship is clean, we're good brothers, there's no love affair between us."
The Grand Chancellor Ning Yu said, "Alright, my investigation is over."
Taking another long breath, the Grand Chancellor said, "Record it down, Shen Lang and Princess Ning Yan's relationship is clean, the so-called love affair between us is complete nonsense."
Ugh!
The eunuch next to him gritted his teeth and recorded it down.
This world is too dark, even a pure person like me has to go along with it.
Isn't this forcing all of us to be blind with our eyes open and our mouths open?
But everything has a price to pay.
An hour later!
Princess Ning Yan was taken to the Grand Chancellor Temple to reflect on her mistakes.
She was put under house arrest for a month.
She stayed in a courtyard of less than 10 square meters, not allowed to take a step out.
And Shen Lang!
Continued to be detained in the underground ice cellar.
He felt that he was wronged.
It was Ning Yan who took the initiative to find me and got me drunk.
I didn't do anything at all.
I'm clearly a clean and good man.
Why did I have to suffer this undeserved disaster?
The Monarch was having a hard time holding it in, he really wanted to beat up Shen Lang.
Too impudent.
I just got angry last night and warned you, but in less than 2 hours, you're already sleeping in the same bed as Ning Yan?
Are you not putting me in your eyes?
Are you treating my words as wind passing through one ear and past the other?
Eunuch Li Sun said that Princess Ning Yan took the initiative to find Shen Lang, and the two of them were drunk, nothing actually happened.
After that, the Monarch became even angrier.
My daughter is so cheap, yet she still sent herself to his door? Does Shen Lang have that much charm?
I can't see it at all?
Originally, he wanted to consult Shen Lang about King Wu's 30,000 troops heading south.
There's no need to consult him now, so he continued to lock him up.
But the Monarch was even more certain now.
In the case of Ho Tsai, Shen Lang was innocent.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have courted death like this.
Shen Lang was venting his dissatisfaction. He felt that he had been locked up by the Supreme Court for a few days, and that he had been wronged.
After the truth came out and he was cleared of his crimes, he began to become arrogant.
Too impudent, too arrogant.
"Don't give him food. Starve him until he's half dead."
"Send someone to reprimand Marquis Xuanwu, and ask him how he raised his son-in-law."
But this was just a small interlude.
All the Monarch's energy was used to deal with the crisis at hand.
What was King Wu trying to do?
Was he trying to blackmail the 30,000 troops south? Or was he trying to start a war?
And Su Nan?
What was he trying to do?
Ning Yuanxian instinctively smelled danger.
Compared to these major events, Shen Lang sleeping with Ning Yan was nothing.
If they slept together the first time, what was the difference between the second and third time?
… ….
Su Nan's ambition was very big!
Bigger than the Monarch imagined.
The goal he wanted to achieve this time was also very big.
Originally, he wanted to wait for a while.
He didn't expect that the case of Ho Tsai would cause the Monarch to directly shed all pretense of cordiality with him.
Then there was no other way, he could only advance it.
Although it would make the Su clan more passive, and the chips they would get in the future would be smaller.
But … …
The Su clan was still the biggest beneficiary.
After this upheaval, my Su clan is destined to be a phoenix nirvana.
And the Kim family!
Will collapse with a loud bang.
Fortunately, Shen Lang, that little bastard, was in the palace cellar.
Otherwise … …
That palace censor Lin Bingzhong, who was not afraid of death, was already dead!
Three days after he slandered the affair between Shen Lang and Ning Yan, he was impeached for corruption, with a total of one hundred and eighty gold coins.
Then he was taken to the Supreme Court and personally interrogated by the people of the Black Water platform.
For a whole day and night.
Then came the news of Lin Bingzhong's suicide.
But Su Nan didn't care.
He was waiting.
Waiting for the moment when the Qiang King led twenty thousand Qiang soldiers to attack the western border of the State of Yue.
He was waiting for the moment when the army of Chu approached.
This time, there would be flames of war everywhere.
Monarch Ning Yuanxian would be scared out of his wits.
Now that the whole Tianxi Province was rotten, with the cooperation of the Su clan and the Three Eyed Heretic, who could stop the Qiang King?
This time, perhaps a hundred thousand people would die, or even more.
Who knew how many innocent people would be killed, ravaged, and taken as slaves.
Who knew how many cities and counties would be burned to the ground.
But … … so what?
The rise of a clan was bound to be paved with countless corpses.
When the Qiang King ravaged the Tianxi Province.
When the army of Chu approached the western border.
When King Wu's army went south.
That was the moment when I could demand anything from Ning Yuanxian.
As for killing Shen Lang, that was probably the most insignificant thing he had done.
Alas!
What a pity!
If I could give him another half a year, the situation would be better.
Shen Lang, you little thief, this is all thanks to you.
If I can't tear you to pieces, skin you, and pull out your tendons, I really can't vent my hatred!
And at this moment!
His confidant Su Yong quickly walked in.
His face was pale, and his whole body was trembling.
"Master, this … … this is the secret letter from the Crown Prince. It came at the fastest speed, and a dozen horses died."
Su Nan's heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly had a strong premonition.
He took out the secret letter and read it.
There were a few words written clearly on it.
But they were all in code, and others couldn't understand it.
But Su Nan could read it immediately. He didn't even need to decipher it.
"The sudden death of the Qiang King!"
In an instant!
Su Nan felt like he had been struck by lightning!
He stood rooted to the ground, unable to move.
… …
