In the room, Shouning rubbed Li Duan's head and said, "They didn't elope. They went to find aunt."
Li Duan was relieved and murmured, "I thought father and mother didn't want me and Xiao Mu and Xiao Jin anymore."
Shouning comforted him and then bent down to look at him. She asked, "Now can you tell me who taught you to 'elope'?"
Li Duan was startled and ran outside, but Shouning grabbed his ear.
Shouning pinched his face and said, "You're so young. You should learn to elope …"
"Didn't Xiao Niang elope with father …"
"You even learned to talk back. Is your butt itching again …"
…
Li Duan covered his ears and his heart sank.
Xiao Niang changed. Xiao Niang was no longer the Xiao Niang who bought him candies …
How did Xiao Niang change?
It seemed that he couldn't tell Xiao Niang about eloping with Xiao Rui, but he could tell Xiao Mu. Xiao Mu was still young and didn't even know what eloping was. He didn't need to be afraid of others knowing and he didn't need to keep it to himself.
Shouning slapped Li Duan's butt a few times and told him to study hard and practice martial arts. Then she went to another yard.
MIngzhu sat in the study and opened an envelope.
Shu Ning walked in. Seeing that she was reading carefully, he stuck his head out to take a look.
This letter was a spy from the imperial court.
The Jing Kingdom sent thirty thousand soldiers and one hundred thousand soldiers from the Zhao Kingdom to the imperial capital of the Zhao Kingdom as reinforcements.
This time, the emperor of the Qi Kingdom led three hundred thousand soldiers. Of course, this one hundred thousand soldiers were not enough. However, there were still more than one hundred thousand soldiers in the imperial capital of the Zhao Kingdom. With the help of Tian Fa, they didn't need to fear the Qi Kingdom.
This letter arrived today, which meant that they had been in the imperial capital of the Zhao Kingdom for at least a month.
The next letter should be the news of victory.
She sat down at the desk and said, "Royal sister, we're already here. Why are you still reading these things …"
This time, the Jing Kingdom supported Zhao against Qi, not because the Jing Kingdom had nowhere to use its power, nor was it a whim of the imperial court. It was a decision made after much consideration.
This involved a series of political and interest factors, and to a large extent, it would change the structure of the countries in the next few decades … However, Shou Ning would not understand these things.
She put down the letter and asked, "Aren't you teaching Yong Ning martial arts? Why is she here again?"
"Xiao Mu pestered her to go play on the slide …" Shouning took the letter and looked at it. She shook her head and said, "When will Xiao Rui come? It's more lively when there are more people …"
…
May of the fifth year of Jinghe.
It was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, one of the most pleasant months of the year.
In May, not only did the warm wind of early summer sweep across the land, but there was also a thunderous news.
In the Lotus Garden of the Jing Kingdom, when Li Xuan woke up from his afternoon nap, he found several old generals standing in front of the palace with solemn expressions.
In the Wu Kingdom, the imperial court meeting had just ended. The officials walked out of the main hall, their faces still filled with disbelief.
A month ago, the capital of the Zhao Kingdom, Qiyang, was conquered by the Qi Kingdom.
The civil and military officials in the imperial city, including the king of the Zhao Kingdom, were all captured.
The reinforcements, including the 30,000 elites of the Jing Kingdom, were all captured, except for those who died in battle.
It was said that the Qi Kingdom's soldiers suffered great losses because of the heavenly punishment of the Jing Kingdom during the battle. However, not long after the two armies started fighting, the sunny weather suddenly became overcast with dark clouds. Sand and pebbles flew everywhere, followed by heavy rain. The heavenly punishment lost its power, and the army of the Qi Kingdom turned the tide in a short period of time, winning the battle of Qiyang …
Thus, the Zhao Kingdom was destroyed!
In the Jing Kingdom, the morning court meeting, which had not been held for many days, had lasted for several hours today.
The army of the Jing Kingdom, which had been invincible and invincible, and had created many legends, had suffered a setback for the first time in these years.
The soldiers and generals who were captured by the Qi Kingdom were a problem that needed to be dealt with. The defeat of this battle was also very important.
A civil official said with great regret, "This is an unfavorable time. If it weren't for the heavenly punishment, our army would have been defeated …"
"Bullsh * t!" Old General Xue did not care that this was the court meeting. He pointed at his nose and scolded, "Is the Jing Kingdom's army only relying on heavenly punishment?"
Old General Ma was so angry that his beard was trembling. He pointed at his nose and shouted, "The Qi Kingdom has three hundred thousand soldiers. That's an army of three hundred thousand soldiers, not three hundred thousand pigs!"
With heavenly punishment, the Jing Kingdom had obtained countless victories in the past few years. This caused most people in the court to forget how powerful the Qi Kingdom was in the past.
The strength of the country and the strength of the army allowed them to crush and humiliate the Jing Kingdom for decades.
Although heavenly punishment had given the Jing Kingdom a few years to turn around, the Qi Kingdom was still the Qi Kingdom. They had not become weaker. Without heavenly punishment, the Jing Kingdom would not have much of an advantage against the Qi Kingdom.
Moreover, this time, they were fighting against the Qi Kingdom's three hundred thousand soldiers with only one hundred thousand soldiers.
This was a heavy blow to the Jing Kingdom from the Qi Kingdom.
However, for the Jing Kingdom, the significance of this incident was more than just a crushing defeat.
The Minister of War, Yan Bing, stepped forward and bowed. "Your Majesty, for the safety of the captured soldiers, we need to send messengers to negotiate with the Qi Kingdom as soon as possible …"
The capital governor, Liu Dayou, pondered for a long time. Finally, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the captured soldiers are important. But this time, the Zhao Kingdom has brought a large amount of heavenly punishment. I'm afraid that it has fallen into the hands of the Qi Kingdom. If they obtain the formula of heavenly punishment …"
Liu Dayou did not finish his words, but the entire imperial court broke out in a cold sweat in fright.
Heavenly punishment was the Jing Kingdom's divine weapon. They all knew very well how powerful it was.
If the formula of heavenly punishment fell into the hands of the Qi Kingdom …
They dared not imagine the consequences. They could not afford to bear it.
This meant that in the future, every war with the Qi Kingdom would be a war of heavenly punishment. There would be more casualties than any previous war …
This meant that the Jing Kingdom's military advantage, which they had painstakingly built up, would be gone!
After the morning court session ended, it seemed that the entire sky above the capital city was shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.
…
In a restaurant in a certain province of the Wu Kingdom.
"The Qi Kingdom! The Qi Kingdom has annihilated the Zhao Kingdom!"
"The Zhao Kingdom! The Zhao Kingdom is gone just like that?"
"That's right! Even the Emperor has been captured. And the Jing Kingdom's reinforcements have also become prisoners!"
"Doesn't the Jing Kingdom have heavenly punishment? How could they lose?"
"It's said that the Jing Kingdom's army gained a lot of advantages by relying on heavenly punishment. However, when the Emperor of the Qi Kingdom personally led the army to stand on the city wall, the weather was sunny. Suddenly, a strong wind blew and heavy rain poured down. The heavenly punishment of the Jing Kingdom became useless …"
"I heard that the Qi Kingdom's Emperor invited the Sea Dragon King to help and extinguish the heavenly punishment of the Jing Kingdom …"
The small restaurant was now crowded with people.
The destruction of the Zhao Kingdom was a big deal to them.
Because the Zhao Kingdom had always been stronger than the Wu Kingdom.
Even the Zhao Kingdom was destroyed by the Qi Kingdom. If the Qi Kingdom pointed its blade at them, would the Wu Kingdom be able to withstand it?
In a very short time, the whole restaurant was in a state of panic.
In a remote corner of the restaurant …
Li Yi withdrew his gaze from the crowd.
The Zhao Kingdom was gone …
The Jing Kingdom had been defeated …
The heavenly punishment had fallen into the hands of Zhao Yi …
He and Ru Yi had only come out for a short while, and this world had already undergone such a huge change.
He was not worried that Zhao Yi could figure out the formula of heavenly punishment. In fact, Zhao Yi should have known the materials needed to make heavenly punishment.
The important thing was the proportion. The Zhao Kingdom should have collected a lot of heavenly punishment from the battlefield. It was not meaningful to get the heavenly punishment this time.
He did not know how many heavenly punishments the Jing Kingdom had brought this time. The more they brought, the more they would have to bear in the future.
However, what was more important than the formula of heavenly punishment was the person Zhao Yi.
Flying sand and stones, summoning wind and rain …
This was … the Son of the Plane …
