(Thank you for the 50,000 yuan reward from the Chief.)
Five hundred hooligans stood on the ground, trembling with the stench.
Their souls and bodies had suffered an unprecedented blow.
More and more of these people would die.
Once a wound was soaked in urine and feces, it would become inflamed and untreatable.
Moreover, the most terrifying thing about this giant pit was the gas. It was filled with large amounts of hydrogen sulfur, various kinds of ammonia, methane, and so on.
Although these people had climbed up, they had already inhaled large amounts of poisonous gas.
How many more of them would die?
No one knew.
Shen Lang covered his nose and looked at them from afar.
"To be honest, I've already shown mercy this time. Take care, everyone.
"If you want to seek revenge, you're welcome!"
After he finished speaking, Shen Lang swaggered off with his men.
The five hundred hooligans who had survived looked at each other.
They began to cry bitterly.
They had never been so miserable in their entire lives.
Nor had they been so humiliated.
They would never forget it!
After crying bitterly, the hooligans began to regret wildly.
I must have been blinded by lard. Why did I have to provoke a madman like Saint Shen Lang?
How many people did he kill in the Western Heaven Province? It's not like we don't know.
How regretful.
Why did I provoke this devil incarnate?!
… …
The incident of the failed candidates crying at the Holy Temple had caused a huge uproar, as if it was going to shock the heavens.
It seemed like it could no longer be suppressed.
However, it was like a whirlwind sweeping away the clouds. It was completely resolved in just four hours.
It was like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
Thousands of examinees and scholars who had failed the examinations had disappeared without a trace.
There was nothing around the Holy Temple.
There were only dozens of corpses and pools of blood.
There was also urine and feces, as well as countless rubbish.
The dozen or so courtesans who came out to freeload definitely deserved to die.
A few months ago, they had been hyped up like crazy.
The two treacherous officials, Zheng Tuo and Liang Yongnian, clearly did not make any contributions, but in the end, they boasted that they had made an immortal contribution. They boasted that they were the pillars of the Kingdom of Yue who had turned the tide. This was all because Zheng Tuo had effortlessly taken over the Zhenyuan Marquis' residence.
Zheng Tuo sent his army disguised as the Qiang Kingdom's cavalry and began a massacre, burning, killing, and looting in a frenzy. He then framed Shen Lang as the culprit.
It was these courtesans again. This group of people who controlled the tide of public opinion was trying their best to create hype in the capital. Luring the barbarians into the country, replicating the tragedy from a hundred years ago, and being a traitor to the State of Yue were all hurriedly blamed on Shen Lang.
Although the government later refuted the rumors, Zheng Tuo and Liang Yongnian were both labeled as traitors, and Shen Lang and Zhang Chong were the great heroes in suppressing the Su Clan's rebellion.
But by that time, the rumor had been circulating for a long time.
If he tried to refute the rumors, the people would no longer care.
The fact that Shen Lang had lured the barbarians into his territory to burn, kill, and loot had already become a fixed impression of the people.
When Zheng Tuo and Liang Yongnian died, there were even people who quietly burned joss paper to pay their respects, as if loyal officials had died unjustly.
How was he supposed to explain this?
Monarch Ning Yuanxian was already angry with these people.
However, he was not in the capital at that time. By the time he returned, the courtesans had already given up.
But now, at the Weeping Sage Temple, you courtesans could not wait to rush out again?
You want your reputation more than your lives.
Are you flies? Wherever there is shit, you will pounce on it?
So the Monarch gave Eunuch Xiao Li a verbal order. Regardless of whether they were courtesans or prostitutes, all of them were to be killed!
And so, these ten or so beauties all died tragically.
They were the dream lovers of countless scholars, but all of them died in an instant.
And this time, the handling of the Weeping Sage Temple incident was in accordance with Prime Minister Zhu Hongzhu's words.
Using thunderous methods, showing the heart of a Bodhisattva.
Directly killing dozens of the perpetrators.
Depriving nineteen people of their scholarly honors.
Pursuing the responsibility of one hundred and thirty-five people, they would not be allowed to participate in the imperial examinations for the rest of their lives.
Recording one thousand and five hundred people's demerits, they would stop taking the imperial examinations for one period.
But, all the scholars at the scene of the Weeping Sage Temple would be recorded, leaving a lifelong stain on their names.
If they committed the offense again, they would be stripped of all scholarly honors, shackled, and sent to the border army as slaves.
Immediately, thousands of examinees trembled in fear, and scattered like birds and beasts.
Finally, the Monarch issued a decree.
The civil and military examinations this time were fair and just, without any fraud, and the results were real and valid.
All of the examiners were rewarded.
At this point, the entire storm had been settled!
… … …
Prime Minister Zhu Hongzhu summoned Zhang Chong.
"Someone wants to mess with you, and they've found a lot of evidence!" Zhu Hongzhu said. "Some say you are corrupt, and some say you killed an entire family."
Killed an entire family.
Of course, it was referring to the murder of Xu Guangyun's entire family.
"Some say you plundered the people, robbed a mountain of gold and silver, but did not hand it over, stuffing it into your own pockets."
"Some say you and Shen Lang worked together to kill thousands of innocent people."
These two incidents were both in White Night county, where Shen Lang and Zhang Chong worked together to scam thousands of plundered people, and obtained hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
This money was not handed over, and was used to bribe the people of White Night county to resist the Su Clan's rebel army.
"I rejected all of them." Zhu Hongzhu shook his head. "You can't do without factions, but you have to be clear about your priorities."
Zhang Chong kowtowed, and did not speak.
Zhu Hongzhu said, "Some say you betrayed the Zhu faction, but you said you were just unwilling to be enemies with Shen Lang. I believe that."
Zhang Chong kowtowed again.
Zhu Hongzhu said, "Zhang Chong, you were originally His Majesty's knife, and could only be used to kill people. Now, you have changed, and you have the bearing of a minister. Talents are hard to come by, and the position of a minister must be reserved for you. Even if you are not in the Zhu faction, you can still be a prime minister. "
Zhang Chong did not speak, and still kowtowed on the ground.
Zhu Hongzhu said, "But I have something to say to you."
Zhang Chong respectfully said, "Prime Minister Zhu, please advise me."
Zhu Hongzhu said, "Don't just focus on the State of Yue, you have to focus on the entire Great Yan Empire."
Zhang Chong said, "Yes."
Zhu Hongzhu said, "Also, if you want to avoid conflict, avoid it completely, and be completely neutral. Do not get entangled with Shen Lang, or you will be in big trouble. "
Zhang Chong did not answer, but said, "Thank you for your advice."
The next morning.
Prime Minister Zhu Hongzhu recommended Zhang Chong to be the governor of Yan Province.
Monarch Ning Yuanxian was slightly shocked.
Duke Weiwu Bian Xiao had only expressed this in private, and had not officially submitted a memorial.
Prime Minister, you are one step ahead?
Prime Minister Zhu Hongzhu had been recuperating at home for a long time, and did not attend court. Even when he did, he did not speak much.
But once he spoke.
His words would become gold.
Previously, when Ning Yuanxian wanted to personally lead the army, the ministers stopped him, and it was Zhu Hongzhu who settled the matter.
A few days ago, the ministers used the incident of the Weeping Sage Temple as an excuse to stir up trouble. They wanted to make an ironclad case of cheating in the imperial examinations, and wanted to use this opportunity to destroy Shen Lang, and force Monarch Ning Yuanxian to compromise.
It was Zhu Hongzhu who settled the matter, and suppressed the ministers. Without the support of the court officials, the Weeping Sage Temple's scholars were useless, and were destroyed like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. The earth-shattering incident instantly disappeared without a trace.
It was the same this time!
Once Prime Minister Zhu Hongzhu spoke, it must come true.
Now, almost no one could deny Zhu Hongzhu, for the consequences were too severe.
The Zhu Clan was influential in the entire Eastern world, and was one of the top clans in the Great Yan Empire.
When Jiang Li was destroyed, as his admirer, Ning Yuanxian also encountered great trouble.
The so-called great trouble could very well be the danger of abdicating the throne, or even life and death.
After Jiang Li's downfall, many countries were labeled as Jiang Li's allies.
Some countries' monarchs were directly deposed.
Some countries were directly destroyed by the Great Yan Empire's allied army.
Not only did Ning Yuanxian admire Jiang Li, but he was also engaged to Jiang Li.
At the critical moment, he deposed the Queen, and made the Zhu Clan the Empress.
The Zhu Clan's influence in the Flame Capital allowed Ning Yuanxian to survive the fatal crisis.
Therefore, Ning Yuanxian was not called Prime Minister casually.
However, Zhu Hongzhu had the power of an official, but he had no power to act.
He knew that his prestige was too high, and his power was too great, so he basically did not appear in the court.
But once he appeared, and once he spoke.
Then no one could stop him.
Monarch Ning Yuanxian smiled, "Prime Minister's suggestion is good, what do you all think?"
The civil and military officials all bowed and said, "Very good, we agree!"
Monarch Ning Yuanxian asked again, "Zhang Chong, are you willing to go?"
Zhang Chong bowed and said, "I am willing to go!"
Monarch Ning Yuanxian said, "Draft a decree to confer Zhang Chong the title of Yan Province's military governor!"
At this point, the matter was settled.
The next day, Zhang Chong left the capital, and headed for Yan Province to take up his post.
Speaking of which, this position had belonged to him almost half a year ago. But after going one big round, he was back to square one.
But now, Zhang Chong's identity was completely different.
He was no longer an official of the Zhu Clan.
Originally, some people thought he was a traitor to the Crown Prince's faction. But after Zhu Hongzhu's recommendation, Zhang Chong's name was cleared.
He had completely become a neutral faction.
This was an unspoken rule.
Originally, Zhang Chong was close to Shen Lang and Prince Ning Zheng's faction.
But Zhu Hongzhu gently waved his hand.
From now on, Zhang Chong could only maintain absolute neutrality.
Shen Lang saved your life, so I, Zhu Hongzhu, also did not kill you, and recommended you.
Zhang Chong, you can either reject the position of Yan Province's military governor.
If you accept this position, it means that you have already drawn a clear line between you and Ning Zheng.
We don't care about your personal relationship with Shen Lang.
But in politics, you can't have anything to do with him.
If you agree, one of the prime ministers' positions will be yours in the future.
If you don't agree, you will face the full wrath of the Zhu Clan.
If Zhu Hongzhu decided to attack him, then Zhang Chong would have no power to fight back, and would die without a doubt.
Shen Lang could not save him, but Bian Xiao could.
But Bian Xiao would not offend the Zhu Clan for Zhang Chong. And even if Bian Xiao could protect Zhang Chong, he could not protect his political life.
Zhang Chong had no other choice.
He was grateful to Shen Lang, and could even be considered a good friend to Shen Lang.
However, it was impossible for him to give up his political ideals for Shen Lang.
It was for this reason.
When Zhang Chong left for his post, Shen Lang did not send him off.
And before Zhang Chong left, he did not say goodbye to Shen Lang.
Their personal relationship was still there, but in politics, they drew a parallel line again.
Shen Lang sighed in his heart.
This prime minister was a true master.
Loud but silent, like an elephant, invisible.
His moves seemed to have no aura, and there was no confrontation. It could not even be said to be a fight without breaking.
On the surface, he did not even have the slightest intention of targeting Shen Lang.
However, he'd easily severed Zhang Chong's path of retreat to Ning Zheng's side.
It should be noted that Zhang Chong was probably the only minister who could be loyal to Ning Zheng, and he was a very capable minister.
According to the original plan.
The Crown Prince's faction attacked Zhang Chong wildly.
Shen Lang protected Zhang Chong in front of the Monarch. At the crucial moment, Ning Zheng begged Concubine Bian to let Bian Xiao, the Duke of Weiwu, take action and formally ask the Monarch to ask for Zhang Chong.
This way, Zhang Chong, the Zhu faction, and the Crown Prince's faction were completely severed.
Ning Zheng had saved his life. To a certain extent, the position of Yanzhou's military governor was bestowed by Ning Zheng.
Zhu Hongzhu easily cut off this path.
The key point was that Shen Lang could not defend or counterattack.
Because the other party did not even attack him.
… …
The Monarch seemed to know that Shen Lang was depressed.
On the second day after Zhang Chong took office, he officially issued a decree.
Lan Yi was appointed as the registrar of the Marquis of Changping, a secondary sixth-rank official.
Ku Yichen was appointed as a Qianhu of the Marquis of Changping. Lan Yi, Lan Er … Lan Shi, and the others were appointed as Qianhu of the Marquis of Changping.
So far!
Ning Zheng had truly established a government.
The entire framework was completely built.
… …
The Crown Prince's residence.
As usual, Crown Prince Ning Yi was playing with something in his hand.
This time, the thing he was playing with looked a little special, like a bone.
It was a relic, a gift from Xuankong Temple.
It should have been worshipped.
But the Crown Prince continued to play with it.
"Have you found out?"
Zhuo Zhaoyan said, "Yes. Lunatic Lan and the ten beggars all have special bloodlines. Shen Lang found a way to activate their bloodlines, so they returned to normal and stood out in the martial examination. It is not that a month of training can make them so powerful, but that they have unleashed the bloodline power of the past decades. "
At this moment, the Crown Prince Manor's Official Registrar asked, "Then can we make use of this matter to suppress Shen Lang and label these people as Jiang Li's remnants?"
Zhuo Zhaoyan shook her head. "No! After the Zhuo Clan was destroyed, the Great Yan Empire actually let go of this matter. These special bloodlines are not Jiang Li's remnants. They even let Zhong Chuke off. "
The registrar said, "Is His Majesty the Great Yan Empire's emperor completely relieved?"
Zhuo Zhaoyan said, "The Zhuo Clan adopted Zhuo Yichen, who was labeled as Jiang Li's remnants and exterminated. However, ever since then, Great Yan's emperor decreed that when Jiang Li rebelled, the people with the special bloodline were still young. They didn't know what was right or wrong, and they were innocent.
That was not all.
Sky-sea Pavilion's Zuo Ci, Xuankong Temple's Master, and the other leaders of the sacred organizations all vouched for these special bloodlines and recruited them.
It was with the protection of these powerful figures.
Only these special bloodlines could be cleansed of their crimes of rebellion.
Originally, these people were called Jiang Li Remnant Bloodline, but now, they were called Special Bloodline.
Otherwise, why would Zuo Ci accept Bitter Joy and Zhuo Yichen as disciples? It was just to show his attitude.
It was not just him. Several sacred organizations also accepted these special bloodlines as disciples.
Bitter Joy's position was too low. He had always thought that he was chosen by the Sky-sea Pavilion because he was too talented.
Little did he know that this was the common will of several sacred organizations.
Xuankong Temple, Stupa Mountain, Sky-sea Pavilion, Heaven Punishing Tower, White Jade Jing, and so on.
These heavenly hands fiddled with it for a while.
Bitter Joy's identity as a Jiang Li's remnant was instantly cleared.
The identities of Lunatic Lan and the Lan Brothers could also be made public.
And the Zhuo Clan was completely sacrificed.
As a survivor, Zhuo Zhaoyan was pitied by the sacred organizations and compensated.
Lunatic Lan was at the bottom and could not see the wind blowing at the top. That was why he pretended to be crazy and did not dare to let his ten brothers stand out, lest they be destroyed.
Not only Bitter Joy, but Lan Bao had also almost died mysteriously, and the Zhong Clan had almost been implicated.
Sometimes, you might seem close, but you were actually very, very far away.
For example, a mirage in the desert could not be approached even if you walked to your death.
Sky-sea Pavilion was one such example.
To Shen Lang, Sky-sea Pavilion was close. Scholar Zhang Yuyin even had an affair with him.
Furthermore, every single scholar there treated him kindly. Shen Lang was even allowed to enter and exit the Sky-sea Pavilion freely. He even sent Martial Maniac Tang Yan and Sword King Li Qianqiu's wife to the Sky-sea Pavilion for their protection.
They seemed to be very close.
Sky-sea Pavilion seemed to be Shen Lang's ally and backer.
In reality, that was not the case at all!
Sky-sea Pavilion's Master, Zuo Ci, was high and mighty like a god. He seemed to be in the clouds, untouchable.
Now Shen Lang finally understood that there was no Zuo Ci in the list of the six Grandmasters of the State of Yue.
Because the so-called Six Grandmasters were just a name and a rule.
And Zuo Ci himself was the one who made the rules.
He appeared amiable, but that did not mean he was.
The Zhuo Clan had been illustrious in the past. Zhuo Guangbo was the Pacifying South General, more powerful than the Xuan Wu Mansion.
In the end, with a single finger, the other party had annihilated their entire clan.
The destruction of such a glorious Zhuo Clan in a single night became a top secret of the State of Yue. It was like a bottomless black hole.
In the past, Bitter Joy and Zhuo Zhaoyan had conceived countless imaginary enemies and concocted countless conspiracies.
But who was the culprit behind the Zhuo Clan's destruction? Did you know?
Princess Ning Han!
She, Zhu Hongxue, and a certain prince of the Great Yan Empire were studying ancient texts excavated from Sky-sea Pavilion.
Then she met Bitter Joy and Zhuo Yichen.
Zhuo Yichen was sent to Sky-sea Pavilion because his body and face were distorted, but he could not find the reason.
Ning Han took one look and determined that he was a member of Jiang Li's special bloodline. His power was too strong and could not be channeled, so his body was distorted.
That was all.
The prince of the Great Yan Empire had exterminated the Zhuo Clan.
At that time, Princess Ning Han said angrily, "There were so many war refugees, so many people with special bloodlines. Are we going to kill them all?"
Then, Princess Ning Han went to find her master, Zuo Ci.
Zuo Ci went to find the leaders of other sacred organizations.
A few supreme figures expressed their stance together, each accepting a person with a special bloodline as their in-name disciple.
Then, the Emperor of the Great Yan Empire decreed that these people with special bloodlines were not guilty.
The Zhuo Clan's destruction was because of Ning Han's unintentional words.
The Zhuo Clan's innocence was restored because of Ning Han's words.
When Zhuo Zhaoyan found the answer, she felt despair.
She had found the culprit behind the clan's destruction, but her heart was in even more pain.
There was no conspiracy at all.
The seemingly glorious and powerful Zhuo Clan was like an ant in the eyes of these great figures.
Not to mention that they could crush them with a finger.
Their feet accidentally stepped on you, and your entire clan was trampled to death.
Then, when she lifted her foot and saw the corpses of the ants, her heart was filled with kindness.
And so, the surviving ants survived.
That was why Zhuo Zhaoyan never thought about revenge again. She only wanted to climb up.
Because she had seen the truth of the world's greatest power.
She knew very well that among the sons of Monarch Ning Yuanxian, there was only one person with true power.
Princess Ning Han.
Even though she had never appeared.
Because she was Pavilion Lord Zuo Ci's direct disciple.
And Pavilion Lord Zuo Ci was one of the few who made the rules.
After the Zhuo Clan's destruction, Zhuo Zhaoyan fell to the ground, even more pitiful than the lowest prostitute.
Then how did she rise to power?
Not only did she become the representative of the Yinyuan Association, but she also became Crown Prince Ning Yi's mistress in name.
Because of one sentence.
Princess Ning Han said, "I'm sorry."
Because of this apology, Zhuo Zhaoyan rose from hell to heaven.
It was said that when a man achieved the Dao, so did his chickens and dogs.
Using Princess Ning Han's words, Zhuo Zhaoyan was like an ant that landed on Ning Han's wings and followed her to the heavens.
In many people's eyes, there was a struggle for the throne in the State of Yue.
But in Zhuo Zhaoyan's eyes, Crown Prince Ning Yi and Princess Ning Han were born of the same mother, and the former was Empress Zhu's official mother.
He had the support of the Zhu Clan and Princess Ning Han.
The crown prince's position was as stable as Mount Tai. No one could shake it, not even the Monarch.
"Shenlang is a lucky bastard. He found Lunatic Lan and ten people with special bloodlines," the registrar said. "Can't he make use of this opportunity to stir things up? After all, these people are Jiang Li's descendants. "
Zhuo Zhaoyan said coldly, "Don't do anything stupid. The people with special bloodlines have been wiped clean. With several holy organizations vouching for them and the Great Yan Emperor's decree, no one can tamper with this matter. Understand? "
The crown prince suddenly said, "Zhuo Zhaoyan, didn't you kill Bitter Joy? Why isn't he dead yet? "
Zhuo Zhaoyan knelt at this.
No one knew that Shenlang's newly recruited thousand households were Bitter Joy, but when the Monarch conferred him the title of Marquis of Changping, he'd removed his mask.
Zhuo Zhaoyan had seen it with her own eyes from afar.
She was sure it was Bitter Joy.
No words could describe the shock in her heart.
Bitter Joy wasn't dead?
How was that possible?
He'd clearly ingested Stupa Mountain's poison, and his chest had been pierced through.
How was he still alive?
What the hell was going on?
"Why didn't you cut off his head then?" the crown prince asked coldly.
Zhuo Zhaoyan kowtowed. "I was wrong."
The crown prince walked up and gently plucked the golden hairpin from Zhuo Zhaoyan's head.
Slash!
It stabbed into Zhuo Zhaoyan's chest.
Zhuo Zhaoyan's breasts were pierced through. The hairpin was less than half an inch from her heart.
Just a little more, and she'd be dead.
The crown prince pulled the hairpin out and stabbed it into the other side of Zhuo Zhaoyan's chest.
Her breasts were pierced once more, and her lungs were pierced.
Zhuo Zhaoyan coughed. A mouthful of blood gushed out of her windpipe, but she did her best to hold it back.
"The great thief Bitter Joy has committed a heinous crime. Royal father once issued an edict to capture him. Now that he's hiding in fifth brother's residence, he's a great danger to both fifth brother and the capital. "
"Order the Tianyue Commandery to join forces with the Supreme Court to capture the criminal Bitter Joy. Kill anyone who resists!"
"Understood!"
... … …
Inside the palace.
The Monarch summoned Shenlang.
"Shen Lang, you are truly audacious. You are also extremely lucky to have actually managed to find eleven people with special bloodlines."
Shenlang said, "The ban on this matter has been lifted long ago. Even the princes of the Great Yan Empire are looking for them!"
The Monarch waved his hand, unwilling to discuss the matter any further.
The matter of Jiang Li's remnants was deeply engraved in his heart.
"Shenlang, I still have a bet with you. As long as those eleven beggars all pass the examination, I'll give you two thousand private troops."
Shenlang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, not me, but His Highness Ning Zheng's two thousand private troops."
Ning Yuanxian frowned. He didn't want to mention Ning Zheng.
"You've lost the bet. You've won." The Monarch said, "I'll keep my word. Tell me, what troops do you fancy? Royal Guards? Border troops? I don't care which elite troop it is, as long as you fancy them, I'll transfer them to Ning Zheng's army. "
Shenlang said, "Your Majesty, I want to recruit my own troops."
Ning Yuanxian was stunned, "Recruit your own troops? Or do you want to recruit soldiers like you did before? "
Shenlang said, "Yes, I want to recruit an unprecedented army with the highest pay. I want to build an invincible army in the shortest time possible! I want this army to become the strongest army in the State of Yue. No matter where we go, we'll strike fear into the hearts of all our enemies. "
"Nonsense, nonsense." The Monarch said disdainfully, "Do you know how long it takes to train the troops? You're good, but you only succeeded because you found eleven people with special bloodlines. There are fewer and fewer people with special bloodlines in the world now. You want to recruit and train the troops from zero? That's two thousand people, and you want to train the strongest army in the State of Yue? Big words are not slanderous. What a fool's dream. "
Then, the Monarch waved his hand, "Don't waste your time. If you recruit and train the troops from zero, how long will it take? I'll transfer one thousand people from the Royal Guards and one thousand from the border troops to you. That's settled. Don't waste your time, there's no time. "
Shenlang said, "Four months, at most four months, and I'll make them the strongest army in the State of Yue. By then, these two thousand people will be able to defeat four thousand, eight thousand, or even ten thousand people on the battlefield. "
The Monarch's eyes narrowed.
Shenlang said, "Your Majesty, I'm serious! I'll make another military pledge. I'll recruit and train the troops from zero and train them into the strongest army in four months. Please check and accept it then. "
The Monarch sneered, "How do you want to check and accept it? Show off? Put on a show? "
Shenlang said, "King Chu has already contacted the The South Kingdom's Prince Jin, so he will never admit defeat in the negotiations. But we can't have a decisive battle with the Chu State, so Your Majesty needs to have a border hunt. "
Border hunt? This was also a way to resolve disputes between the two countries. It could be considered a small-scale war.
Last time, King Yue had a border hunt with King Wu, and he lost.
In fact, it was that defeat that led to a series of crises for the State of Yue.
The Monarch said, "How do we do it?"
Shenlang said, "Use my two thousand new troops to fight against the Chu State's five thousand army. If we win, the Chu State will admit defeat. Not only will they withdraw their troops, but the Chu State will also apologize to you, pay five hundred thousand gold coins, and cede 23 fortresses! "
Ning Yuanxian was stunned, "What if we lose?"
Shenlang said, "Your Majesty, you will apologize to the Chu State, accept the Chu State's occupation of our fortresses, and pay two hundred thousand gold coins as compensation."
Hearing this, Ning Yuanxian was enraged and was about to kick Shenlang.
"You stupid child, do I have a grudge against you? How can you trick me like this? Do you think national affairs are a joke? Your two thousand new troops want to defeat the Chu State's five thousand elites? Are you dreaming? Do you think national affairs are your testing ground? "
Of course, Shenlang couldn't let him kick him, so he quickly dodged.
The Monarch missed and chased after him.
So, Shenlang ran in front while the Monarch chased after him.
Seeing this, Eunuch Li Sun felt helpless again.
Your Majesty, you are skilled in martial arts, and at a very high level. But Shenlang is a rookie. If you really want to kick him, you can kill him with one kick. What's the point of chasing?
Right at this moment!
Eunuch Xiao Li rushed in.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Her Royal Highness Ning Han is back!"
Ning Yuanxian was shocked, then overjoyed.
Ning Han is back?
My most precious daughter is back?
Even his greatest pride and honor guard had returned?
How many years has it been? It's been more than a decade, and he hasn't seen his daughter.
Although Ning Han isn't by his side, she's at the center of the world's highest authority. Even if she's not in the State of Yue, she still helps her father.
"Quick, quick, let Ning Han in."
"No, I want to welcome my daughter in person."
"Shenlang, you stupid child, come with me to see Ning Han."
