Shen Lang watched as the three ships from the State of Yue escaped and did not chase after them.
After all, there was no need to do so. They were just a few small fries.
Even though he did not have any information on the East, he could easily guess that there would be a large fleet stationed at the Raging Tide City, monitoring the entire East Ocean, especially the north side of the Devil Triangle. After all, Shen Lang had disappeared from there, and no one had found his corpse. They had to be on guard against him coming back.
However, Shen Lang was certain that the six transcendent forces' fleets weren't in the Raging Tide City's sea region. Their time was too precious, and they couldn't afford to waste it here. This kind of hard work of guarding against thieves for a thousand days would definitely be left to the secular world.
According to Shen Lang's estimates, there should be 150,000 to 200,000 fleets stationed at the Raging Tide City.
This was a shocking number, and it was impossible to rely on the State of Yue's treasury. The Yin Yuan Society would have to foot the bill.
Shen Lang's fleet only had 40,000 people. With such a huge difference, they should be able to crush the enemy. The key was how much of a crush they had.
There were simply too many enemies, and they had to gather together to capture them all in one fell swoop. Only then would they be able to obtain the most benefits.
As such, it was best to let these three ships send a message. Otherwise, Shen Lang would have to chase them all over the world. Who knew how long that would take?
… …
Shen Lang's ships traveled at a speed of 800 kilometers per day, and they were getting closer and closer to the Raging Tide City.
Chou Yao 'er was not excited at all. Even though the Raging Tide City was her home, in her heart, the world was her home.
The person who was the most excited was Jin Zhuo. After two years, he had finally returned. The Raging Tide City was the foundation of the Kim family.
Not just the Raging Tide City, but also Xuanwu City and the Xuanwu Marquis Residence. Marquis Jin Zhuo's heart bled every day, and he felt like he had let down his ancestors.
He was haunted by dreams every day. He was different from his wife, Su Peipei. He was full of the century-old foundation of the Kim family, unlike Su Peipei, who was heartless. As long as her family was well, everything would be fine.
Another agitated person was Princess Ning Yan. Previously, she kept saying that no one loved her. Her royal father loved Ning Han and Ning Yi the most. Ning Qi only felt a little guilty towards her, Ning Yan, and didn't have much love in his heart. She also said that she wanted to travel the world and leave Tianyue City.
After Shen Lang's identity was revealed, she had no choice but to leave. As soon as she left Tianyue City, she began to miss it. Not only did she miss the city, but she also missed her father and Imperial Concubine Bian.
In fact, since she had been with Shen Lang, Ning Yuanxian had abandoned her love and care day by day. Especially after she was pregnant, she had become Ning Yuanxian's most beloved daughter. Even when she was in confinement, Imperial Concubine Bian personally took care of her and enjoyed unprecedented love.
For Shen Lang, she left Tianyue City with Shen Li and came to Marquis Xuanwu's Mansion. Everyone here was very good to her, but she still felt lonely. Only Tianyue City was the territory she was familiar with.
After leaving Xuanwu City and escaping to the Devil's Triangle, she felt even more so.
Every day, she was worried about Shen Lang, her father, and Ning Zheng. She was almost depressed.
She used to be a strong and tough girl, but she had lost a lot of weight in the past two years.
"The environment in the Devil's Triangle is very good. Not only is Shen Li's body much better, but even your body has been nurtured well." Shen Lang said, "So we can still have another child. The midwife was right. It would be a pity if you don't have a few more children with your body condition. You just have to grit your teeth and stomp your feet."
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm very good at that." Ning Yan blushed.
"What do you mean? Where is it? "Shen Lang asked.
Ning Yan didn't speak, but her face was completely red. She looked carefree on the surface, but she was actually the weakest on the inside. Previously, she was very energetic, but in the past two years, she didn't speak much.
This ship was too big, and there weren't many waves on the sea, so it was very stable.
At this moment, on the deck, Yaoyao was writing with her younger siblings. There were six children on the ship, Yaoyao, Shen Mi, Shen Li, Aluzhuang, Shen Cheng (Shen Jian's son), and Jiang Duoduo. It seemed like only two children liked to study, and they were Shen Mi and Shen Li. They were obediently writing with their sister.
Shen Cheng was also six years old, and it was the time when he was the most mischievous. He had completely inherited his father's personality, and no one knew how to discipline him. He wasn't afraid of being hit, and he wouldn't listen to scolding. His mother, Miss Lin, was such a gentle person, but she had cried many times from anger.
Shen Jian and Miss Lin had already decided that once they settled down on land, they would immediately have another child. Their personality had to be completely inherited from Miss Lin. Shen Cheng was such a bad boy that even dogs hated.
However, that was only in the eyes of his parents. In the eyes of Jin Zhuo and his wife, Shen Cheng was very well-behaved. He had a sweet mouth, and his words were pleasant to hear.
Moreover, he had a good relationship with every child. He was a good brother in front of Shen Li, a good little brother in front of Shen Mi, and a good follower in front of Aluzhuang. He was only six years old, but his relationship was already very good.
After seeing this, even Shen Lang felt that if this child were to be polished in the future, he would definitely have a bright future. He was much smarter than Shen Jian.
After experiencing a drastic change, Shen Jian, who was previously jumpy, became calm instead. Every day, he practiced martial arts with all his might and studied with all his might.
Previously, he still wanted to make a name for himself, but now, he only had one thought, and that was to not disgrace Shen Lang's reputation. He couldn't drag him down. After all, his brother, Shen Lang, was the future Emperor of the East. As his younger brother, he definitely couldn't be too useless.
However, Shen Jian, you're thinking too much. Your brother's reputation is just that. It's already bad enough that you don't need to ruin it.
The first thing he said when he saw Shen Lang was, "Brother, I can be your centurion now."
Just this sentence alone made Shen Lang feel very gratified. His younger brother was really sensible. He didn't bite off more than he could chew.
Although his talent was limited, he was too hardworking. He practiced martial arts with all his might every day. Therefore, it was more than enough for him to be a centurion.
… …
"Husband, I wonder how Father is, how is Concubine Bian, and how is Ning Zheng?" Princess Ning Yan nestled in Shen Lang's arms and said, "And Cloud Stallion … How is Brother?"
The former ambassador of the Great Yan Empire to the State of Yue, Dreamy Cloud Lake, was definitely unlucky. This was because he was too close to Shen Lang. He was practically Shen Lang's only confidant. Dreamy Cloud Lake was even the one who found out the crucial information a few times and passed it on to Shen Lang.
Not only that, Shen Lang could also feel that Dreamy Cloud Lake was on Jiang Li's side. Although he never said it explicitly, he could completely feel it when they were chatting.
"I'm really worried about them," Princess Ning Yan said.
Shen Lang said, "Soon, we will be able to rescue all of them soon."
Then, Shen Lang used his body to block her and began to harass her. He smiled and said, "What did you say just now? Can't I try it again? Let's have another baby. Your body has already been nursed well. "
Princess Ning Yan's breathing immediately quickened. She shook her head and said, "No, I only have one baby."
Among Shen Lang's children, Shen Li was indeed the most ordinary. However, he was really obedient. He wasn't extremely intelligent, but he was very reserved and very patient.
"Husband, why do I feel that Shen Li's personality is a little like Ning Zheng's?" Princess Ning Yan said.
Shen Lang was stunned. Not to mention, there was indeed a little resemblance. There was a saying that nephews were like their uncles. It was indeed true.
Shen Lang said, "We should at least have one more child. Look at Ning Zheng's personality. Will he divorce his first wife, the Zhuo family, and marry someone else?"
"Impossible." Ning Yan said, "His temper is bad and stubborn. He doesn't even want to take a concubine."
Shen Lang said, "But the Zhuo family can't get pregnant. In the future, when Ning Zheng ascends the throne again, it's fine if he is willing to take a concubine and have a child. But if he is determined not to, Shen Li's probably going to be adopted by him as the heir."
Princess Ning Yan said, "I really didn't think about this."
In fact, Shen Lang also didn't think about it. This was the reason why Ning Zheng started it. He, Shen Lang, didn't have any intention of usurping the Ning clan's throne. But if that day really came, and Ning Zheng was determined not to take a concubine, then it might really come to this step.
Shen Lang said, "Your father and Concubine Bian are getting old and will inevitably be lonely. Why don't we have a child for them to play with?"
Thinking of this, Princess Ning Yan's previous determination immediately melted.
Her father was already old, and even Concubine Bian's mother was old. Especially Concubine Bian's mother, who even dreamed of having a child.
"Then, that's fine …" Princess Ning Yan said.
"Let's go into the cabin and have a child."
… …
Today, it was Bing 'er's turn.
They were about to return to the State of Yue soon. Among all of them, the one who was the least excited was Xiao Bing.
As long as Shen Lang and her daughter were there, everywhere was heaven. Even the sea was better. Because once they returned to the State of Yue, there would be a war. Shen Lang would be busy day and night again. He wouldn't have time to accompany her and her daughter, and he wouldn't be able to enjoy her various skills.
She was very clear about her position. In terms of status, she couldn't compete with others. In terms of appearance and figure, she also couldn't compete with others. Her only ability was to serve people, so of course, she had to play to the extreme and walk the path of service.
"Husband, do you think I should have a child or not?" Bing 'er was in a dilemma.
When she heard Shen Lang and Ning Yan talking about having another child, she was also very conflicted.
On one hand, she wanted to have a child. She already had a daughter, so naturally, she wanted to have a son. However, she was afraid that after the child was born, it wouldn't be good if the child looked like her. She was a little servant girl, if the child looked like her, wouldn't he be useless when he grew up?
She really didn't know what was going through her little head.
… …
In the Clan Temple's prison, Ning Zheng sat on the ground motionlessly.
His hair was like weeds, and his beard was more than three inches long. His clothes were torn and tattered. He didn't look like a king, but a beggar.
It had been two whole years. He had been arrested and imprisoned for two whole years.
In these two years, he hadn't even seen the sun for a day. He had suffered all kinds of torture, especially mental torture.
He couldn't sleep for days and nights, fed a large amount of croton, had diarrhea for a month, and so on and so forth.
He had countless tricks up his sleeves.
There was only one goal, and that was to make him submit and publicly draw a clear line between him and Shen Lang. He wanted to announce that Shen Lang was the public enemy of the entire Eastern World, and that Jiang Li was the greatest traitor of the Great Yan Dynasty.
However, ever since he was imprisoned, Ning Zheng seemed to have become completely mute. From start to finish, he didn't say a single word, not even a single word.
Anyway, his wife, Zhuo Shi, had already been sent away and completely hidden. He no longer had any weaknesses.
He wasn't afraid of death or torture.
"Creak …"
The door opened, and a one-armed man walked in, carrying a basket.
"Ning Zheng, let me tell you a piece of good news. We have captured your wife, and she will soon be reunited with you." Ning Yi said.
Ning Zheng turned a deaf ear, as if he didn't hear anything.
Ning Yi sneered, "Didn't you hear? Your wife, Zhuo Shi, your first wife, has been captured by us. Can you imagine what kind of tragic fate she will suffer? A thousand men riding on ten thousand men? "
Ning Zheng's face twitched, but he still didn't speak.
He was only angry because of these words, but he knew that his wife was fine. He had hidden it very, very well.
Ning Yi said, "Ning Zheng, submit! Your persistence is meaningless. Shen Lang is already dead. Jiang Li, who was so powerful, is already dead. What about a weakling like Shen Lang? "
Ning Zheng still turned a deaf ear.
Ning Yi felt that he had been greatly humiliated. He didn't even know why he was doing this.
In fact, it didn't matter whether Ning Zheng submitted or not. Shen Lang was already dead, so everything was meaningless. However, King Ning Shao of New Yue was too conservative. He felt that Shen Lang might not be dead yet, so he kept Shen Lang's henchmen alive and didn't start a massacre.
However, it would be soon. The Yin Yuan Association had already spoken, so this matter was about to end. Two years had passed, but Shen Lang still hadn't come out of the Devil's Triangle, so he would never come out.
Anyone who entered the Devil's Triangle would be crushed to pieces, and Shen Lang was no exception.
Of course, this was because the Yin Yuan Association couldn't hold on much longer. The 150,000 people fleet consumed an astronomical amount of money and resources every day, yet they didn't gain anything. Even with the Yin Yuan Association's wealth, they couldn't hold on much longer.
If they wanted to dissolve the 150,000 fleets in the eastern sea region, they had to end this matter first. In order to end this matter, they had to behead Ning Zheng, Bian Xiao, Zhang Chong, and a few other leaders of Shen Lang's henchmen. Then, they had to kill all the people they had captured.
Finally, they had to erase Shen Lang's name from the history books. In a few decades, it would be as if this person had never existed in this world.
There was only one reason why Ning Yi wanted Ning Zheng to submit so urgently. After Ning Yi was captured by Prince Jin, he couldn't wait to break down and surrender. His willpower was so weak. Ning Zheng's bravery always reminded him of those humiliating days.
"Still not submitting? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter … "Ning Yi sneered." Your persistence is meaningless, and your bravery is meaningless. Soon, this matter will end. All of you are going to die! "
Then, Ning Yi said, "Don't say that I don't take care of you as a younger brother. I brought you food. It's delicious."
Then, he opened the lid of the food box. There was another lid on it, which was woven from bamboo. It was densely packed with holes, and he could see that there were many snakes inside. There were more than ten of them, and each of them was as thick as a thumb.
"Snake meat. Delicious, right?" Ning Yi grinned hideously. "Do you want to eat it yourself, or do you want me to get someone to force it down your throat?"
What happened next left Ning Yi dumbfounded. Ning Zheng silently opened the cover and directly reached into the food box.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh …
Instantly, more than ten snakes bit his hand, but he still didn't react. He grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth. He used his teeth to bite and chew. Instantly, his mouth was full of blood.
Ning Yi's hair stood on end. He felt like he was about to vomit.
"You lunatic, you lunatic! A lunatic like you should just die. "
Of course, Ning Zheng wasn't a lunatic. He just had a brave heart.
… …
Count Wu An, the deputy of the State of Yue's Bureau of Military Affairs and the commander of the State of Yue's navy, Yan Nanfei.
He was comfortably sipping his tea.
There was a lot of good news recently. He already had five sons. In less than five years, it could be said to be fruitful.
He had just sent off the City Lord of Xuanwu, Zhu Wenhua, and they had a pleasant conversation.
Zhu Wenhua was very humble. He paid a huge price in exchange for a small share of the Fury Tide City's trade.
Whoever controlled the Fury Tide City would control the trade rights of the entire eastern part of the State of Yue.
Especially after South Continent City was monopolized by Stupa Mountain, the dozens of countries in the southeastern sea had no choice but to use the Fury Tide City's trade route.
There were two reasons why Yan Nanfei agreed to Zhu Wenhua. One was because Zhu Wenhua was backed by Tang Yun, and Tang Yun was backed by Zhu Jung. Now, the Zhu Family was like the sun in the sky in the State of Yue. It was practically covering the sky. The second reason was that Zhuo Zhaoyan was too greedy. Relying on her relationship with Princess Ning Han, her appetite grew bigger and bigger. She took up more and more of the Fury Tide City's trade. Zhu Wenhua jumped out to balance out the greedy Zhuo Zhaoyan.
He wanted everyone to know that he, Yan Nanfei, was the supreme person in this area.
Just because the Fury Tide City was in his hands, just because he had 150,000 ships.
"Marshal, sleep." A concubine said coquettishly, trying her best to seduce him with her eyes.
"You sleep first," Yan Nanfei said. He quietly drank tea and sat there waiting.
What was he waiting for?
To be precise, he wasn't waiting for anything.
However, every day for two years, he would sit there until around 12 o 'clock. (Shen Lang had already invented a clock, and it was sold by the Heavenly Society. However, it was still an absolute luxury item, even more expensive than a mirror.)
"Don't worry, Marshal. Shen Lang is already dead. He won't come back. Just sleep well. You don't have to wait until 12 o 'clock every day," the concubine said coquettishly. "I miss you so much. Go to sleep."
"Get lost …" Yan Nanfei said calmly.
Even though his voice wasn't loud, it sent chills down one's spine. The concubine was so scared that she almost peed her pants. Then, she ran away with her legs between her legs.
Yan Nanfei told everyone he met not to underestimate Shen Lang. He had created many miracles, so they must not let their guard down. He might come back one day.
Not only that, he had to sit quietly until 12 o 'clock every day, waiting for the patrol fleet's report. Now, everyone knew Sir Yan Nanfei's opinion. He felt that Shen Lang might come back.
In reality, did Yan Nanfei really believe that Shen Lang would come back?
No, he didn't believe it!
The miracles that Shen Lang had created had shocked him like never before, especially when he used the tsunami to destroy the Xue family's fleet. However, anyone who entered the Devil's Triangle would die. Shen Lang was no exception.
Yan Nanfei had no choice but to express his opinion because it was related to his greatest interests.
If Shen Lang died, the 150,000 troops in the Fury Tidewater region would have to be disbanded. Of course, they would not be disbanded all at once, but in batches. However, how could Yan Nanfei bear to lose his military power after obtaining it?
Therefore, he had to keep making it known that Shen Lang would definitely come back. The State of Yue's fleet must not be disbanded.
In fact, in his heart, Shen Lang was long dead. Even his bones were rotten!
"Dang dang dang dang …"
The clock rang. It was 12 o 'clock. He could finally go to sleep.
'The clock that Shen Lang invented is really amazing. Not only is it accurate, but it can also ring the clock itself.
'What an exquisite person. It's a pity that he died just like that. He should have handed over everything and then let Yan Nanfei, Yan Nanfei, be hacked to death.
Yan Nanfei stood up and walked towards the concubine's room.
However, at that moment …
"Dang dang dang dang …"
An ear-piercing bell sound came from the surface of the sea. It rang together with the sound of the self-chiming clock beside Yan Nanfei. For a moment, he could not tell the difference.
However, after the self-chiming clock ended, the bell on the surface of the sea continued ringing.
'Did something happen? What happened? '
Yan Nanfei walked to the balcony and looked down. The three ships had docked, and the dozens of people on them were rushing towards the castle.
'Something happened. Something really happened.'
… …
A moment later!
A captain knelt in front of Yan Nanfei and said in a trembling voice, "S-Marshal, Shen Lang is back. He's back. He's back with his fleet."
As soon as he said that, Yan Nanfei felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He could not move at all.
'What kind of joke is God playing?'
'I, Yan Nanfei, keep saying that Shen Lang is not dead and that he might come back, but that's only for the sake of benefits. I have to maintain this stance.
'Shen Lang should have died a long time ago.'
"How is that possible? How is that possible? "Yan Nanfei said angrily," Shen Lang died a long time ago. How could he come back? Your eyes must be playing tricks on you. "
The captain said, "No, no, it's not our eyes playing tricks on us. It's true. We saw a huge fleet with the flag of a skeleton, as well as the flags of Jiang, Shen, and Jin. Shen Lang must have come back. "
"Impossible, impossible …" Yan Nanfei said, "It must be someone else's fleet, or Chou Yao 'er from the western world has come back."
Yan Nanfei, who had previously said that Shen Lang would kill his way back, had now completely denied this possibility.
However, in the next few days, Yan Nanfei had no choice but to believe it.
That was because the bell on the surface of the sea kept ringing. Patrol fleets docked one after another and hurriedly came to report to Yan Nanfei.
'Shen Lang has returned!'
The news became more and more accurate and detailed.
Towards the end, the patrolling navy under him could even see Shen Lang's face clearly. The closest they could get was no more than three miles away.
The news was confirmed! 'Shen Lang has really come back.'
Not only that, but even the size of Shen Lang's fleet was clear.
There were a total of 100 ships and 20,000 people.
Why was it this number? That was because Shen Lang's fleet had split up.
His fleet had over a thousand ships, but most of them were transporting supplies and not warships.
In a real sea battle, these warships would not only be useless, but they would also drag down the entire fleet and become the enemy's prey.
Moreover, these ships were the foundation of his development. They did not have the ability to protect themselves, so he had to send a fleet to protect them.
As a result, there were only 100 warships and less than 20,000 people charging towards Raging Tide City.
However, most of these 100 warships were cannons. That was amazing.
What kind of earth-shattering scene would there be if more than 1,000 cannons were fired?
What kind of destructive power would it be?
… …
There were no secrets in this world.
Yan Nanfei was not the only one who knew. Many people in Raging Tide City knew.
'Shen Lang is back!' 'The son of Jiang Li has returned.'
'He will soon reach Raging Tide City.'
However, many people also heard that Shen Lang only brought back 100 warships and less than 20,000 people.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked. 'Is Shen Lang crazy?'
Two years ago, 100 warships and 20,000 people were considered a huge force.
However, it was nothing now. Yan Nanfei had 150,000 fleets in the Raging Tide City's waters.
You attacked 150,000 fleets with 20,000 people?
'Two years ago, Shen Lang had hundreds of thousands of troops, but they still escaped.' 'Now that he's back, he should have brought a million troops. Why did he only bring 20,000 people?
'Are you here to die?' 'It's not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth.'
… …
Yan Nanfei's initial shock and disbelief turned into battle intent.
'Is Shen Lang crazy?'
'He actually brought 20,000 people back?' 'Does he think Raging Tide City is still the same as before?'
'You, Shen Lang, have indeed created miracles in the past, but your navy's combat power is very worrying. You completely relied on the tsunami to destroy the Xue Family's main force. Do you think there will be another tsunami now?'
It was completely impossible. Yan Nanfei now knew that the tsunami was completely related to Stupa Mountain's development of the ancient ruins. It had nothing to do with Jin Mulan or Shen Lang. Rather than saying that Shen Lang destroyed the Xue Family's fleet, it was more accurate to say that it was Stupa Mountain.
Without decades of training, it was impossible to train a strong navy. 'Your Nirvana Army is very powerful, but that's only on land. They won't be able to unleash their combat power on the sea.'
The information became clearer.
Shen Lang's fleet was getting closer and closer to Raging Tide City.
3,000 miles, 2,000 miles!
It was still 100 warships and less than 20,000 people.
There was no time to wait for the decree from the capital. Yan Nanfei gave the order.
The State of Yue's 150,000 navy gathered and prepared to fight. They were going to wipe out Shen Lang's fleet!
