Zhuo Zhaoyan was beautiful.
Moreover, it was the kind of beauty that was coquettish and arrogant.
Shen Lang was a scumbag, and he'd held it in for over a month.
So when she kissed him, Shen Lang quickly dodged.
Shen Lang was a scumbag who'd slept with four women.
All four of them were as pure as ice and as clean as jade.
So, how could he touch a woman like Zhuo Zhaoyan?
"What? Does Shen think I'm not pretty enough? "Zhuo Zhaoyan asked coyly.
Shen Lang sighed. "Miss Zhuo, you used to be my wife's senior sister. This identity is very attractive to me, but I'm afraid you've poisoned me."
Hearing that.
Zhuo Zhaoyan's expression changed.
Zhuo Zhaoyan couldn't even imagine that Shen Lang would say something so malicious.
You shouldn't hit someone in the face, but Shen Lang didn't care at all.
Zhuo Zhaoyan had never suffered such humiliation ever since she'd joined the Yinyuan Association.
Shen Lang's mouth was worse than a shrew's cursing.
Shen Lang could pretty much confirm that the woman in front of him was only the crown prince's mistress in name.
Crown Prince Ning Yi was a very possessive person.
How could he allow his woman to make a cuckold of him?
That was impossible.
He could make someone else a cuckold, and he liked it.
But no one could make him a cuckold.
Shen Lang didn't have any contact with the crown prince, but he had a rough understanding of him. He was the most similar of the Monarch's sons.
He was as narcissistic, selfish, and vicious as the Monarch.
But he didn't seem to have the romantic feelings of the Monarch. Instead, he had a hint of violence.
Shen Lang had a certain understanding of Zhuo Zhaoyan. In fact, he had a deep understanding.
First of all, she was a member of the Yinyuan Association.
Not only was he a member of the Hidden Element Association, but he was also carrying some kind of secret mission.
After taking a few deep breaths, Zhuo Zhaoyan's expression calmed down.
Then, she immediately put on a charming smile and said coquettishly, "Shen, won't you know if it's poisonous or not if you try it?"
Shen Lang said, "Senior Sister Zhuo, that won't do. Too many people have tasted it. I don't know how much saliva there is, or even urine. It's too unhygienic."
These words were even more vicious.
Even Zhuo Zhaoyan couldn't take it anymore, her charming face turning cold.
Then, she squatted down, picked up the dress and put it on. Slowly, she said, "Shen, do you know what the most illusory thing in this world is?"
Shen Lang said, "Wind! Because sometimes it blows this way, sometimes it blows that way. "
The wind they were talking about was the Monarch's favor.
Zhuo Zhaoyan said, "People's liking is like that. Liking someone today might not be liking them tomorrow. Some people are very sentimental, while others are fickle. I've been looking at this cute puppy for a few days, but I'll get tired of it soon. "
What she meant was that the Monarch was temperamental. Shen Lang might be favored today, but that might not be the case tomorrow.
Shen Lang shrugged.
Zhuo Zhaoyan giggled. "Looks like Shen has really gotten carried away. I hope what happens next will help you understand yourself.
"Goodbye, Young Master Shen. Have a sweet dream."
Then, Zhuo Zhaoyan left gracefully.
Shen Lang said, "Zhuo Zhaoyan, I won't let you get away with having Bitter Joy assassinate my father-in-law. I'll definitely slander His Majesty … oh, no, I'll definitely complain to His Majesty."
Zhuo Zhaoyan smiled sweetly. "Whatever. Shen, hurry back to the capital as soon as possible. Don't stop at Lang Commandery either. There might be a surprise waiting for you there."
This was a warning, a serious warning.
… …
Two days later!
Shen Lang passed by Lang Commandery, but he didn't visit Third Prince Ning Qi.
But …
The other had come to visit him. He went straight to the resting point where Shen Lang was staying.
It wasn't his first time meeting Ning Qi, but it was his first real contact.
Third Prince Ning Qi's appearance and temperament were different from the Monarch's.
Ning Yuanxian was an exquisitely handsome man. While he knew martial arts, he looked down on them. He was a scholar.
Ning Qi, on the other hand, was serious and serious. There was martial arts in literature, and literature in martial arts.
He had learned martial arts from a few masters.
The first was Grandmaster Yan Nanfei, the second was Zhong Yao, and the third was Sky-sea Pavilion's Zuo Ci.
Looking at the list of masters, one could see how powerful this person was.
Otherwise, how could he have become the Crown Prince's rival?
Even Ning Yuanxian couldn't decide whether to let the Crown Prince or the Third Prince inherit the throne.
It was because of his hesitation that there was a fight for the throne in the court, and they were evenly matched.
This person was truly well-versed in both literature and martial arts.
As soon as Shen Lang approached him, he could feel the murderous aura.
It was an oppressive aura that came from having powerful martial arts and power, but wrapped in a civilized and noble temperament. It was fundamentally different from King Qiang, who relied on violence to intimidate his enemies.
This wasn't a narcissistic person, but a powerful and confident person.
"Shen Lang, what can I give you?" Ning Qi asked.
He wasn't the Crown Prince, so it wasn't appropriate for him to be called a loner. But he had always been like this, so the Monarch didn't say anything.
Shen Lang thought for a while, then shook his head.
Ning Qi said, "Then what do you want?"
Shen Lang thought for a while. "Revenge."
Even though he knew this was the answer, Ning Qi was still startled.
What kind of grudge?
The Su Clan ambushed your Xuan Wu Mansion and was annihilated by you.
Who do you want to take revenge on now?
Ning Qi said, "Who do you want to take revenge on?"
Shen Lang said, "I want to take revenge on whoever harmed my family."
There was no way to continue this conversation.
There was no way to bribe a person like Shen Lang.
He had everything and didn't want anything.
Money and power were like dog shit in his eyes.
He loved beauties.
But he could seduce them himself. He didn't need you to give him anything.
"Is there really no way to resolve your hatred with the Xue Clan?" Ning Qi asked.
Shen Lang shrugged.
Ning Qi said, "Then there must be a time for revenge."
His meaning was clear. You take revenge on the Crown Prince first, then the two of us will work together to overthrow the Crown Prince.
As for your hatred with the Xue Clan, we'll deal with it later?
Shen Lang said, "Your Highness, you are very powerful. You can arouse my reverence. My teammates can be pigs, but they can't be strange bedfellows. "
As he said this, Princess Da Hou's face appeared in Shen Lang's mind. Her beautiful face glared back. Who are you talking about? Who are you calling a pig teammate? Be careful, or I'll kill you and make you cry.
It wasn't the first or second time that this silly girl had tricked Shen Lang.
But … she did wholeheartedly want to be good to Shen Lang.
Ning Qi said, "The Xue Clan is my people. If you make a move against them, then you'll be my enemy. Think carefully. I'll ask you one last time. Are you sure you want to be my enemy? "
Shen Lang let out a sigh and said, "Third Prince, it is very likely that you are not satisfied with your life!"
Ning Qi said, "Fine, I understand. After tonight, we'll be enemies. But tonight, we can drink and chat. "
Shen Lang raised his cup. "Your Highness, your wine isn't poisoned, is it?"
Ning Qi's expression changed. He wanted to flip the table.
Shen Lang hurriedly said, "I'm joking, I'm joking. I like to joke."
Then he picked up the wine in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
Ning Qi also picked up his cup. He didn't say a word and just drank it.
Then, the two didn't say a word. They just drank.
These two were the kind of people who admired each other, but didn't like each other.
After drinking, at night.
Third Prince Ning Qi left.
He didn't even say that he was on his own.
But the meaning was very clear. From now on, they were enemies.
In the future, when the butcher's knife fell, don't cry injustice.
… …
After Third Prince Ning Qi left, Shen Lang fell into deep thought.
Originally, Ning Qi didn't expect to be able to take Shen Lang under his command, but he hoped to join forces to deal with the Crown Prince.
But Shen Lang refused.
Then the following situation would become very delicate.
Listening to the Third Prince's footsteps as he left, Shen Lang seemed to hear the sound of war drums.
The so-called battle would never wait for you to be ready before it started.
Maybe it had already started, or maybe it had started a few days ago.
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince came to win over Shen Lang to see if there was any room for compromise.
But there was none.
Then they started fighting.
According to common sense, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince were fighting fiercely. If Shen Lang intervened, wouldn't he be able to muddy the waters?
But in the eyes of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, Shen Lang wasn't qualified enough.
Bitter Joy's assassination of Marquis Jin Zhuo triggered the conflict between the Crown Prince and Shen Lang.
Would the Crown Prince allow Shen Lang to use this as a weapon to attack him?
That won't happen.
The Crown Prince would definitely make the first move and pull Shen Lang into his battlefield, so that he wouldn't have time to care about anything else.
Something must have happened in the capital.
The other party had already made a move.
So what would happen?
… …
The next morning.
Shen Lang led the team back to the capital.
Because the Kim clan's courtyard had been burned, Jin Mucong and Xiao Bing were staying in the Fifth Prince Ning Zheng's residence.
The Imperial Ambassador Yun Mengze wasn't in the capital either. He had returned to Yan Capital for Princess Ning Yan's separation!
The last time Shen Lang returned from his diplomatic mission to the Qiang Kingdom, he had made a great contribution.
When he returned in triumph, there was a sea of people, flags fluttering, and tens of thousands of people welcoming him.
The monarch held a grand ceremony for the occasion.
That time, Shen Lang became the hero of the entire capital.
And this time, Shen Lang's contributions were even greater. He'd annihilated the Su Clan, annihilated Zheng Tuo, and it was simply an extraordinary contribution that turned the tide.
He could even be called a national hero.
However, when he returned to the capital, it was completely silent.
There was no welcoming party, and the officials didn't organize any ceremony to enter the city.
And at this time, the Monarch was still in the Northern Palace and hadn't returned to the capital.
Even when entering Xuanwu City, Shen Lang had to line up like everyone else and had his identity document checked.
The guard at the gate even looked at Shen Lang for a while and said, "You came from the White Night County?"
Shen Lang nodded.
The guard at the gate immediately took a few steps back and said loudly, "Everyone retreat immediately. Men, surround this team."
Suddenly, thousands of warriors rushed out and surrounded Shen Lang's 200 people.
The guard at the gate said, "I'm sorry, Lord Shen. Now that the White Night County is suffering from smallpox, anyone who enters the capital must undergo a physical examination and be quarantined for five days. They can only leave after ensuring that they are not infected."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "May I ask who gave this order?"
The guard at the gate said, "It was a joint order from the Secretariat, the Privy Council, and the Governor's Office. I am just following the rules, please don't blame me, Lord Shen."
Then, he ordered loudly, "Send Lord Shen's team to the quarantined compound. They must not be allowed to leave the quarantined area."
The people behind Shen Lang were furious.
We fought hard in the White Night County and made such a great contribution, almost saving the entire State of Yue from danger.
When we returned to the capital, not only did we not receive the treatment of heroes, but we were also locked up?
It was really infuriating.
Shen Lang said, "May I ask who you are?"
The general said, "Tianyue Commandant's Office, You Ji General Wang Dong!"
Tianyue City, was the capital!
Even the names of several provinces were named after the capital. Tiannan Province, Tiannan Province, Tiannan Province, Tiannan Province, Tiannan Province.
Although the capital was just a city, its status was equal to that of a province.
Not only was there a Tianyue Commandant's Office, but there was also a Tianyue Commandant's Office.
The Tianyue Commandant's Office was responsible for all military and political affairs, while the Commandant's Office was responsible for city defense.
You Ji General's position in the Commandant's Office was not low.
Normally, a Qianhu was enough to guard the Xuanwu Gate.
The other party actually sent a You Ji General, the other party was really generous.
Shen Lang said, "Our group has been vaccinated in advance, completely eliminating the risk of infection. Also, I can bring them into the Third Princess's residence to quarantine themselves. The Commandant's Office will send a doctor to check and make sure they are fine before leaving. "
"No!" You Ji General Wang Dong said, "Lord Shen Lang, this is a joint document from the Secretariat, the Privy Council, and the Commandant's Office. Please take a look!"
Shen Lang glanced at it.
It was clearly written that anyone who entered the capital from the Western Heaven Province, no matter how high their official rank was, had to be quarantined.
And those who returned from Daynight Prefecture were not allowed to have private contact with anyone. The smallpox epidemic had to be nipped in the bud.
Anyone who disobeyed this order would be arrested immediately.
If they dared to resist, they would be killed without question.
This decree was written with a murderous aura, and there were four bright red seals on it.
The Secretariat, the Privy Council, the Tianyue Commandant's Office, and the Tianyue Commandant's Office.
Of course, because the Tianyue Commandant's Office could not be compared to the three above, General You Ji had always said that this was a joint order from the three parties.
This decree was second only to the Monarch's decree.
It looked completely reasonable.
But Shen Lang knew that this decree was completely targeted at him.
Aren't you, Shen Lang, awesome?
He had just killed Su Nan and Zheng Tuo, he had accomplished a great deed.
Now I'll ruthlessly kill your prestige.
Even give you a slap in the face.
However, we did it justifiably and reasonably.
With the endorsement of the four top yamen, even if the Monarch came in person, he would not veto it. Not to mention that the Monarch was still in the palace in the north and had not returned to the capital.
Isn't it important to prevent the smallpox epidemic?
Isn't the safety of the millions of people in the capital important?
Don't you, Shen Lang, just be the Governor of Zhenyuan City, even if you were the Commandant of Tianyue Province, you would have to undergo quarantine and inspection.
You can do whatever you want after making a great merit, can you ignore the safety of millions of people in the capital?
And once Shen Lang agreed to be quarantined.
It would be tantamount to being arrested, locked alive in an abandoned courtyard, and put under house arrest for a few days and nights.
This was tantamount to putting his face forward and letting the other party slap him in the face.
In this way, the prestige that Shen Lang brought by killing Su Nan would be instantly wiped out.
Everyone would be able to see that Shen Lang was just a small worm in the capital.
The other party really had a good method.
The political knife could kill people without spilling blood.
Shen Lang said slowly, "General Wang Dong, if we don't want to be quarantined and put under house arrest, then what will happen?"
General You Ji Wang Dong said, "Sir Shen, I am also carrying out a military order, please don't make it difficult for me."
Shen Lang said, "I just want to ask you, if I disobey, then what will happen?"
Wang Dong held the hilt of his sword and said coldly, "I have said it clearly, and the official document also states it clearly. Anyone from the White Night County, if they don't accept the quarantine, or even have armed resistance, for the safety of millions of people in the capital, they will be killed. "
"Kill without mercy!"
Hundreds of people shouted, and suddenly the surrounding people retreated.
But after retreating a few hundred meters, they began to crowd around again.
"Everyone in the capital, this is Sir Shen Lang!" General You Ji Wang Dong said loudly.
Instantly, the gazes of countless people turned towards Shen Lang. Their gazes were filled with fear and faint hostility.
This was because the previous rumor had blown up the entire capital.
Shen Lang had led the Qiang Kingdom's cavalry into the White Night County and killed over ten thousand people. Nine out of ten houses were emptied, and every family held a funeral.
At that time, Shen Lang was completely condemned by everyone and became the enemy of the State of Yue.
Moreover, Zheng Tuo and Liang Yongnian became the great heroes who destroyed the Su Nan rebel army and turned the tide in the State of Yue.
Then, Shen Lang publicly killed Liang Yongnian, the governor of Tianxi Province, and publicly led the Qiang Kingdom's cavalry to slaughter the State of Yue's soldiers. This caused the entire State of Yue to explode.
Of course!
After the incident, the government quickly came out to refute the rumor.
They announced that Liang Yongnian was a Su Clan rebel, and that Pingxi General Zheng Tuo disobeyed the imperial decree, which was tantamount to rebellion.
Not only that, the Monarch ordered the execution of Liang Yongnian's entire family.
Capture Zheng Tuo's entire family.
Moreover, the Monarch's decree clearly stated that Shen Lang and Zhang Chong were the greatest heroes in destroying the Su Clan rebel army.
But it was useless to refute the rumors.
After the people vented their anger, they didn't care about the truth anymore.
In the public opinion of later generations, there were countless examples like this. Who cared about the truth? Once they were angry, they could just spit it out.
Moreover, the first impression was the strongest. Bad people were bad people, so if I changed my opinion just because I refuted the rumors, wouldn't that make me look stupid?
You Ji General Wang Dong shouted again, "As everyone knows, the Daynight Prefecture has experienced an unprecedented smallpox epidemic. Corpses are everywhere, and it's like hell on earth. In order to protect the millions of people in the capital, the Imperial Cabinet, the Privy Council, and the governor's office issued this decree. Anyone who comes from the Daynight Prefecture must undergo quarantine and inspection. "
"Citizens of the capital, is there anything wrong with what we're doing?"
"No!" All the people said in unison.
And they instinctively moved further away from Shen Lang and his party.
Smallpox, how terrifying was it?
What if it was infected? That could kill people.
"General, quickly arrest them and lock them up."
"General, quickly do it, don't let the smallpox spread to the capital."
Countless people were shouting.
What a joke.
Shen Lang saved the lives of countless smallpox patients in the Daynight Prefecture. His plan even saved the entire Daynight Prefecture, completely isolating the smallpox within the Daynight Prefecture and preventing it from spreading to the outside world.
He used thousands of troops to seal off the entire Daynight Prefecture, and it was unknown how many people were cursing him.
To put it bluntly, the fact that no one in the capital had been infected with smallpox was almost entirely due to Shen Lang.
The fact that these people were not shrouded in the shadow of smallpox was also entirely due to Shen Lang.
But now, they wanted to isolate Shen Lang and his party and put them under house arrest.
You Ji General Wang Dong said, "Castellan Shen Lang, as you can see, this is not only the decree of the Imperial Cabinet, but also the voice of the people in the capital."
Then, he suddenly bowed down and said loudly, "Lord Shen, for the safety of the people in the capital, please accept quarantine and inspection. Please put down your weapons and go to the isolation passageway."
Shen Lang sneered in his heart.
If you were worried about smallpox, why would you dare to be so close to me?
You know better than anyone else that we are completely immune to smallpox, and there is no risk.
And even if we are quarantined, we don't need to disarm. We can go to the Third Princess's residence, close the door and isolate ourselves, and you can supervise.
Why do we need to disarm? Why do we have to go to the abandoned isolation passageway and put them under house arrest?
Do you think we are beggars?
If this is not a slap in the face, what is?
If this is not a trap, what is?
Seeing that Shen Lang was indifferent, the capital's You Ji General Wang Dong directly knelt down and said sadly, "Castellan Shen Lang, I know you have made a great contribution. In terms of official rank, I am two or three ranks higher than you, but for the sake of the people in the capital, I kneel down to you, I kneel down to you."
In an instant, the surrounding people were moved.
"This general is really a good official."
"This general is called Wang Dong, I will remember it. Really a good official, for the sake of the people, he actually knelt down to Shen Lang."
"Shen Lang is really too domineering. Does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he has meritorious service and does not care about the lives of the people?"
"That's right, he is too domineering and unreasonable. What they said before was right, this person will become a scourge sooner or later. "
You Ji General Wang Dong said, "Lord Shen Lang, please disarm and accept the quarantine. For the sake of the people in the capital, for the sake of the people, please disarm and isolate yourself."
For the sake of the people again.
Why was the moral high ground always occupied by someone else?
Shen Lang shouted, "General Wang Dong, what if I don't accept?"
You Ji General Wang Dong shouted, "Castellan Shen Lang, are you really going to disregard the safety of the people in the capital? Do you not care about the lives of the people in the capital? "
The moment these words came out, countless people in the distance started to cheer.
"Disarm, disarm!"
"Isolate, isolate!"
"Shen Lang disarm, Shen Lang disarm!"
In an instant, Wu Lie and Xian Nu, who were behind Shen Lang, were about to explode from anger.
Sword King Li Qianqiu also sighed.
It was said that the people in the world were innocent.
However, there were no innocent people in the world. Just like that avalanche in the Great Calamity Palace, not a single snowflake was innocent.
Shen Lang slowly said, "General Wang Dong, I will still say the same thing. If I don't disarm and isolate myself, what are you going to do?"
A trace of pride flashed across Wang Dong's eyes. Then, he said with grief and indignation, "Castellan Shen Lang, I'm sorry. For the sake of the safety of the people in the capital, I can only carry out military orders. I hope you won't take offense!"
Then, General Wang Dong stood up and shouted, "Citizens of the capital, you have to be my witness. I have already treated Castellan Shen Lang with utmost benevolence. If he does anything unreasonable, it will be because I have no other choice."
Countless people waved their fists and shouted, "We will bear witness, we will bear witness!"
You Ji General Wang Dong shouted, "All troops, get ready!"
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …"
In an instant, his one thousand troops surrounded Shen Lang's two hundred men!
You Ji General Wang Dong said, "Castellan Shen Lang, please disarm and follow us to the courtyard."
"Disarm, isolate! “
"Disarm, isolate!"
Tens of thousands of people shouted.
Shen Lang waved his hand.
Immediately, the two hundred warriors behind him entered battle mode!
You Ji General Wang Dong's voice was stern as he shouted, "Castellan Shen Lang, are you going to start armed resistance? Are you going to disobey the official's order? "
"I will count down from five. If you don't disarm by then, we will treat it as armed resistance. According to the official's order, you will be killed!"
"Five!"
"Four!"
"Three!"
"Ready!"
You Ji General Wang Dong gave the order.
The one thousand elites of the capital drew their swords in unison. Their fighting spirit soared.
You Ji General Wang Dong continued to count down, "Three, two, one!"
"Time's up!"
"General Shen Lang, I've already given you a chance. You're stubborn. Don't blame us for being merciless!"
"All the people in the city can be my witness. I am doing this for the people, for the safety of the capital!"
"Do it!"
Immediately, the two thousand elites of the capital raised their swords and approached step by step.
Under the cover of the crowd, You Ji General Wang Dong laughed sinisterly, "City Lord Shen Lang, you asked for this yourself."
"We have one thousand people. You only have two hundred."
"If you dare to make a move, it will be a rebellion."
"Castellan Shen Lang, if you dare to make a move, it will be a rebellion …"
This is the capital, not your Xuanwu City, not White Night County. Even if it's a dragon, you have to coil up.
Shen Lang glanced at Wang Dong and said indifferently, "Idiot!"
"Big Fool, close your eyes and kill!"
Following Shen Lang's order.
Big Fool closed his eyes, raised the Black Iron Rod in his hand and smashed it down.
You Ji General Wang Dong was startled and shouted, "Shen Lang, you dare? Are you trying to rebel? Kill them all! Kill them all! "
"Bang!"
The moment Big Fool's Black Iron Rod smashed down.
Wang Dong hurriedly raised his sword to block. Instantly, his sword shattered.
Then, the Black Iron Rod smashed into his head and body!
"Bang!"
You Ji General Wang Dong's head exploded. His body exploded.
Completely and utterly dead!
Too horrible to look at!
Shen Lang's mouth curled up in disdain and said indifferently, "Idiot!"
Everyone was shocked!
