Chapter 479
But now, he could truly feel it.
The whole place was dead silent, and almost no one dared to make a sound.
Especially Zhu Hong, he simply looked down at his nose, his nose looked down at his heart, and his heart looked down at his toes, as if he didn’t see anything.
Who was the first person in the world to know that something was going to happen to Shen lang? It was Zhu Hong. In the year before Shen Lang’s identity was revealed, Zhu Hong had shown an attitude of keeping a respectful distance from Shen lang.
He kept telling them not to provoke Shen lang, but they should not get close to him.
After Shen Lang’s incident, the person he wanted to support the most was still ning Yi because this person was easy to control.
But ning Yi’s reputation was really too bad, so supporting ning Qi was also a good choice, because ning Qi was smart and knew how to choose. The king and the Prime Minister should cooperate well.
However, he did not expect that ning Qi would still be influenced by ning yuanxian and Shen lang and give up the throne at the critical moment, allowing ning Shao and the Tongtian temple to take advantage of the situation.
In Zhu Hong’s eyes, he wasn’t afraid of a fatuous ruler like ning Yi or a wise ruler like ning Qi, but people like ning Shao were indeed a headache for him.
On the surface, ning Shao looked like a cold and reticent person, but Zhu Hong knew that this person was crazy and even twisted on the inside.
His mother was a Palace maid of the Great Tribulation Temple who had been hiding in the palace. When he was very young, his mother had passed away, and he had been sent to Tongtian temple to become a monk.
Other people might not know the secret of Tongtian temple, but Zhu Hong was very clear about it. In order not to be at the bottom of the six superpowers, it had already walked the so-called evil path, the path of the Great Tribulation Temple.
Ning Shao had once lived in bird extinction city for a very long time. The Tongtian temple was now divided into two factions. One faction practiced the original martial arts of the temple, which was also known as the world’s righteous path. &Nbsp; the other faction cultivated the Great Tribulation temple’s evil techniques. Ning Shao’s mother was from the Great Tribulation Temple, so she naturally went to cultivate evil techniques.
He had lived in bird extinction city for more than ten years. He left when he was in his twenties and went to another area of the Tongtian temple. He only entered the headquarters of the Tongtian temple when he was in his thirties.
The chaos in bird extinction city was simply unbearable to the ears. What kind of character did ning Shao, who grew up in such an environment, have? It was completely conceivable.
Therefore, Zhu Hong really had a headache when it came to ning Shao. He was too dark and crazy.
He had even thought of abolishing ning Shao’s position, but ning Shao had never really violated his authority. Furthermore, the sky-Sea Pavilion had to take action to abolish him.
This time, ning Shao had violated his authority, and this was absolutely intolerable.
Zhu hongzhu immediately made his move and used Shen Lang’s hand to give the Yue King, ning Shao, a tight slap.
However, Zhu Hong could not help but take a deep breath when he saw this. Shen lang was as ferocious as he had imagined. His method of revenge was too shocking and intense.
........................
Ning Shao squatted down, picked up his eldest son’s head, and looked at it carefully.
He must have died a very painful death. His handsome face was completely distorted, and even his eyeballs were bloodshot. The blood vessels on his face were blue and purple.
Then, he picked up the head of a woman. This was his first woman and the mother of his three sons.
This woman was older than her. Her age was a mystery, as if she had always been this young. But now that he was dead, it seemed to reveal his true age.
Shen lang, you’re ruthless!
Ning Shao’s entire body trembled. He closed his eyes and began to recall all the past events with this woman and his sons.
When he opened his eyes again, he gently squeezed his hands and flattened the two heads.
“Burn them all.” Ning Shao ordered indifferently. He then turned around and walked into the palace. Before he left, he glanced at Zhu Hong indifferently.
Prime Minister Zhu hongzhu didn’t have any reaction, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.
..................
After returning home, Zhu Hong entered his study and fell into a daze.
Zhu Ning lit the incense and brewed some tea for him. She then walked out of the room.
She had become a lot quieter. She had wanted to marry ning Qi, but in the end, the marriage had come to an end.
“Father, has His Majesty the Emperor still not issued any decree?” Zhu Rong asked.
“En!”
This was very strange. After Shen Lang’s return, there should have been a huge commotion. However, the entire Great Yan Empire seemed especially quiet.
The Supreme Emperor of the Yan capital did not even mention a word, and the Kings below acted as if nothing had happened.
“Sometimes, not having a decree is the best decree,” Zhu Rong said.
Yes, no decree was the clearest decree. At this moment, the emperor’s eyes were like a hawk as he stared at the various kings of the world. He was staring at King Wu and King Chu. Was there any strange movement? Shen lang has returned. Do you guys have any ideas?
Zhu Rong said,”previously, His Majesty mobilized half of the world’s military forces to kill Shen lang.” The King of Chu and the King of Wu both sensed danger and obediently followed the Empire’s footsteps to carry out internal reforms. They removed the Board of Ministers and reshuffled the cabinet. Furthermore, the Prime Ministers were sent by the Empire of Great Yan. Therefore, the previous time, they used Shen lang to stage an opera, and it should be very successful.”
“En!”
Not only was it a success, but Shen lang had also helped the Emperor save almost ten years of time.
Originally, after the great Yan Empire’s new governance succeeded, the most important thing was the transition of imperial power, followed by the process of unifying the world.
In the end, after Shen Lang’s identity as Jiang Li’s son was exposed, the Emperor had the reason to gather half of the world’s Army. In the name of eliminating Shen lang, he shocked the countries in the world and forced them to undergo a cabinet reshuffling. Now, the cabinet of all the countries in the world was in the hands of the great Yan Empire.
Not only that, the Emperor of the great Yan Empire used the opportunity to annihilate Shen lang and successfully conferred the titles of Kings to the various Kings.
Hence, the current king of Yue, ning Shao, should be addressed as the great Yan Empire’s Prince of Yue.
The emperor’s ultimate goal was to turn the Kings into vassals and disband the armies of the various countries. Not only would he take back the internal affairs of the countries, but he would also take back the military power.
Reshuffling the cabinet of the various countries and conferring the titles of imperial princes on the Kings would have taken 10 years. However, due to Shen Lang’s appearance, the Emperor completed these two important matters in less than half a year.
Therefore, sometimes, if the enemy used it well, it would be much more useful than their own people.
Zhu Rong said,”so, this time, His Majesty the Emperor should have two thoughts.” The first idea was to make a big move and use half of the world’s Army to eliminate Shen lang. They could also use this opportunity to station troops in the various countries and take back their military power. The idea is very tempting, but he will probably give up on it in the end, because the results from two years ago were already great enough. It is more important to digest the fruits of this victory. The internal power of each country has not been completely grasped, and if they try to seize military power, it will be easy to make a pot of raw rice.”
“Continue,” Zhu Hong said.
Zhu Rong said, ” last time, Shen lang was weak. In the end, the Emperor treated him like Jiang Li and beat him up. It was as if Shen lang was an earth-shattering figure. This time, Shen Lang’s return was a slap in the face to the Yan capital. The last time, you sent half of the world’s Army and were unable to completely destroy Shen lang. Instead, you even allowed him to stage The Return of the King. Therefore, His Majesty should show a disdainful attitude and deal with Shen Lang as if he was an insignificant person. This way, he can offset the impact of Shen Lang’s return and show the Supreme power of the great Yan Empire.”
“Yes,” Zhu Hong replied.
Zhu Rong said,”that’s why his Majesty didn’t issue any decree. This means that this matter has to be resolved within the state of Yue.” In other words, we have to use the name of the king of Yue to completely eliminate Shen lang and not the name of the Empire of Great Yan. Otherwise, it will damage the dignity of the Empire. After all, Shen lang only returned with tens of thousands of troops and is not qualified to be the enemy of the Empire.”
then, tell me. Can we use assassination methods to infiltrate raging tide city or the Marquis of Xuanwu’s residence to kill Shen lang? ” Zhu hongzhu said.
“You can’t.” Zhu Rong said, ” at least not now. After all, Shen lang is Jiang Li’s son. He is not some bandit leader. The Empire of Yan needed to display its absolute strength to crush him to show its dignity. If he used assassination, he would be criticized by the world. The world will say that the Empire is so useless that they can’t even defeat a few tens of thousands of Shen Lang’s men and even resorted to assassination.”
this is the next battle in tianyue city. Zhu hongzhu said, ” the world is watching this battle. We must eliminate Shen lang in the shortest time possible. If we can eliminate him in one day, we will have made a contribution. To destroy them within three days, there would be no merits or faults. If we can’t kill Shen Lang’s Army after five days, we will be in trouble.”
“We will be using the name of the Yue country’s Army to fight against Shen lang, but we will also be representing the Empire’s strength,” Zhu Rong said.
“Right!” that’s why we must grasp the political boundaries here, ” Zhu Rong said. we must be low-key when it comes to propaganda and promotion, just like eliminating an insignificant rebellion. However, you have to be fully prepared and use 10 times, 20 times, or even 30 times your strength to kill Shen lang. You acted as if it was a lightning-like strike.”
“Yes!” “Then, do we need to greet the heavenly path temple and stupa mountain?” Zhu Rong asked.
“No need. Don’t speak.” the Yue State is under the sky-Sea Pavilion’s control, ” Zhu hongzhu said. the sky-Sea Pavilion will be the main force in this battle. If stupa mountain is sensible, they should know what to do. Tongtian temple is even more so. When will Zhu hongxue return?”
“Soon. The war in the Western regions is coming to an end.” “But there’s still no news from Princess Ninghan’s side. It’s as if she has completely disappeared,” Zhu Rong said.
“Don’t ask anything about Ninghan.” Zhu Hong said,”also, start gathering the troops!” Not only must we win the battle of tianyue city, but we must also win it beautifully. Otherwise, we will be in deep trouble. The sky-Sea Pavilion’s Army will have to go north immediately.”
..................
Inside the palace, ning Shao’s entire body was emitting a terrifying aura, like a poison bomb that could explode at any time.
Ning Yi and Ning Luo stood on the side, not moving.
“Your Majesty, are we just going to let it go like this?” “If that’s the case, where would we put our face?” ning Yi said.
Ning Luo said coldly,’stop killing with killing! Shen lang can kill 5000 people, but we can kill 50000 people. We will not compromise.”
“He killed five of my sons, so I still have eleven sons,” ning Shao said indifferently. He’s threatening me. If I dare to continue killing his people, the next one he’ll exterminate will be hundred Flower Valley and my other sons.”
“Are we just going to let it go like this?” ning Yi said.
“We’re just going to let it go?” Ning Shao slowly shook his head and said, ” “We can always have another son even if we lose him! But I will not compromise, I will not back down.”
As soon as these words came out, ning Yi and Ning Luo immediately became excited.
The Prince of Yue, ning Shao, said, ” I have plenty of women. I’m only in my thirties. I can still have more than ten sons. However, you want me to compromise with Shen lang? ” You must be dreaming!”
Ning Luo and ning Yi immediately stood up, waiting for ning Shao’s order.
Ning Shao said,”since Shen lang killed 5000 of my men, I will kill 10000 of them.” Zhang Ye was very important, right? He would chop off his head and limbs and send them to Shen lang. As for Ning Zheng, both his arms and legs were cut off and he was sent to Shen lang. By the way, he wanted to tell Shen lang that he wanted to take revenge? Whatever, whatever Yingluo loses her son, I can have another one!”
“Kill, kill, kill bi an!”
Ning Shao grabbed a random eunuch and cut his wrist, letting the blood flow onto the inkstone. He then dipped a brush in the blood and wrote a few murderous words.
“Ning Yi, go and kill Zhang San, kill Ning Zheng! Ning Luo, go and kill the remnants of Shen lang. Use the people from the black water platform to kill them. Kill 10000 people!” The Yue King, ning Shao, directly threw out the decree.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Ning Yi and Ning Luo went out with murderous intent.
This was ning Shao, and Zhu Hong could clearly see that this person was crazy to the bone.
After ning Yi and Ning Luo left, ning Shao muttered to himself in a low voice, ” “Shen lang, you’ve overestimated my feelings for my son and woman. Do you really think that I have any love or feelings in my heart? What a joke. There’s no one in the world that I don’t dare to kill.”
........................
Ning Yi led hundreds of Warriors into the prison of the black water tower to kill Zhang Ji.
Ning Luo brought thousands of people to the northern hunting ground to kill the remnants of Shen lang. Because there were too many prisoners, the prison of the Supreme Court simply couldn’t hold all of them, so they were imprisoned in the Beiyuan hunting ground. Most of the prisoners were still in the salt fields and mines all over the State of Yue. While being imprisoned, they were doing pig-like work.
The entire North Park hunting ground was filled with the higher-ranking Shen Lang’s remaining members. There were more than 10000 of them.
However, when Ning Luo brought people to the northern hunting ground, she found that it had been surrounded by a large Army. The leader was the governor of Tian Yue, Zhang Zhao. This person had been loyal to the Zhu family since he followed general Zhu Lin in the battlefield of the South beating country. Now, he had finally become a giant in Yue country.
military governor Zhang Zhao, please step aside. I’m here on His Majesty’s orders to kill the remnants of Shen lang. Princess Ning Luo said coldly.
Zhang Zhao said, ” Your Highness, I am following the orders of the cabinet and the Bureau of Military Affairs. I am here to watch over the remnants of Shen lang! No one is allowed to enter or leave the prison without orders.”
general Zhang Zhao, ” Princess Ning Luo said. are you going to disobey the decree? ”
Then, Ning Luo opened the decree of ning Shao, the king of Yue. It was written clearly that all of Shen Lang’s remaining members in the Beiyuan prison were to be beheaded.
Zhang Zhao received the Imperial edict from the Prince of Yue and looked at it for a long time before saying, Your Highness, there is no seal of the cabinet on this decree.
After the Great Yan Dynasty’s new governance, the power of the cabinet of every country received a huge boost. The emperor’s decree would only have the highest authority after the seal of the cabinet was used. Otherwise, it would be considered an imperial decree, and there would be situations of disobedience.
It was like this during the Ming Dynasty. The officials even took pride in disobeying the emperor’s decree. If an official dared to accept a decree without the seal of the cabinet, he would be the scum of the officials.
The Empire of Great Yan used this method to gradually strip the power of the Kings.
Princess Ning Luo said, ” I am going to kill the remnants of Shen lang, and you are stopping me. Are you pitying Shen Lang’s rebellion? ” If I report this to the Yan capital, will you be able to take it?”
Your Highness, ” Zhang Zhao said expressionlessly, ” please send this imperial edict to the inner cabinet for seal. Otherwise, I will not dare to show favoritism and let you pass.
Then, he suddenly shouted, ” Garrison troops, listen up. Without orders, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Beiyuan prison. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!
“Yes!” The 30,000 strong Army shouted in unison.
Ning Luo looked at Zhang Zhao with a menacing gaze and sneered. “Very good, very good, traitor, traitor, traitor, you”
Then, eldest Princess Ning Luo left in anger.
Zhang Zhao looked at Princess Ning Luo’s departing back and sighed in his heart.
Although ning yuanxian had done a lot of ridiculous things, his position was legitimate, and so was Ning Zheng.
However, after ning Shao ascended to the throne, the order of the entire Yue country had actually been greatly subverted and severed.
Even if the officials of Yue country wanted to be loyal to the Emperor, who could they be loyal to? They could only go past Yue country and pledge their loyalty to the great Yan Empire.
..................
Princess Ning Luo’s side was obstructed. Of course, ning Yi was no exception. He brought over a hundred Warriors to the black water platform prison.
In the end, he was stopped outside the castle by the governor of the Blackwater station.
“Duke Yi, your imperial edict doesn’t have the seal of the inner Pavilion. Please forgive me for not being able to follow your orders.”
“The black water platform is completely under the king’s control, since when do we need to listen to the orders of the cabinet?” ning Yi said angrily.
The governor of the black water tower sneered in his heart. He was sent here by the great Yan Empire, and you’re telling me you’re loyal to the king?
Ning Yi said sternly, ” Governor Lin, remember this. I will definitely report this to the Emperor. How dare you sympathize with the remnants of Shen lang? this matter will not end like this. Let’s go!
The Governor-General of the Blackwater station looked at him silently, as if he was at his command.
Then, ning Yi left with his men in anger.
..............................
Ning Yi and Ning Luo both returned empty-handed and reported everything to the Yue King, ning Shao.
At this time, he could clearly feel that the power of the entire Yue State was in the hands of the Zhu family, not him.
It was just that before the conflict, Zhu Hong was unwilling to see the sovereign and his subjects go against each other.
Now that ning Shao resisted a little, Zhu Hong immediately revealed his fierce fangs.
“Hahahaha!” Ning Shao laughed from extreme anger, ” interesting, interesting. Why did our Prime Minister stop acting? ”
Shen lang is actually in cahoots with Zhu Hong, ” ning Yi said. the two of them must have some secret deal.
it’s simple. Shen lang got hold of the Zhu family’s weakness, ” ning Shao said.
“Are we just going to let it go like this?” ning Yi said.
Ning Shao smiled and said,”no rush, no rush.” This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Tongtian temple’s Army has never had a reason to enter tianyue city. Now, our Army can enter the palace. As long as the Army is in my hands, I can be a King.”
“What about the revenge on Shen lang?” ning Yi asked.
Ning Shao said,”we can’t enter Beiyuan prison, Heishui station prison, or even zongzheng temple’s prison.” However, the palace is still in my hands, right? that father is still in our hands, right? Shen Lang’s feelings for father are already very deep, even more so than Ning Zheng and Zhang Ji. The two of them are not father and son, but more like father and son.”
When she said this, ning Yi and Ning Luo’s expressions changed.
“Father’s old, so he can’t use his lifeblood anymore.” Didn’t Shen lang have a nickname, which was the eastern eunuch? Then, go and castrate father and send the things to Shen lang. ”
Ning Yi and Ning Luo’s faces instantly turned pale, and they were almost unable to respond.
Ning Luo’s heart was twisted, and she hated her father, ning yuanxian, to the core. However, she had never thought of killing her father with her own hands. Ning Yi was selfish, greedy, and afraid of death, so he hated ning yuanxian even more. He had even tortured ning yuanxian several times to vent his anger.
However, he had never thought about killing his father.
After a long while, ning Yi said,”Ning Han has said that father can not be killed.” &Nbsp;
Ning Shao replied, ” I didn’t kill him. I just castrated him. Father has no use for him anyway. Pigs grow even faster after they die. Father is a burden now with this life. Maybe after they die, their physical condition will get better. Moreover, this is the real impact on Shen lang, isn’t it?”
The king of Yue, ning Shao, picked up a hook knife, blew a breath in his mouth, wiped it with silk, and then walked towards ning yuanxian’s Palace.
Ning Yi looked at ning Shao’s back and immediately felt his scalp go numb. This was a madman.
At this moment, eunuch Nian suddenly rushed in and shouted, ” “Your Majesty, great news, great news!”
“What joy?” ning Shao was startled.
Eunuch Nian said, ” the Army of the heavenly temple is here. They’re just a few dozen miles away. Our Army is here.
Ning Shao was overjoyed. This was great news indeed.
“Get ready, I’ll personally go to the Vermillion Bird sect to welcome you.”
........................
The battle of tianyue city, which was about to break out, was the focus of the world.
The sky-Sea Pavilion’s blood soul Army had not returned yet, but the Tongtian temple’s Army had entered tianyue city as soon as possible.
The 10,000 soldier monks were all Special Forces, and their combat power far exceeded that of an ordinary Army.
Every single one of them had been specially modified. Not only did they cultivate evil techniques, but their bloodlines had also been modified.
Under the welcome of ning Shao, the king of Yue, the 10000 soldier monks entered the city in a grandiose manner and directly entered the palace.
“Ning Shao pays his respects to martial uncle Kong ye.” Ning Shao didn’t dare to put on the airs of a King, and he bowed respectfully.
He had only become the king of Yue because of the support of the Tongtian temple.
With the ten thousand soldiers of Tongtian temple, he could fight against Lord Zhu Hong. There was no army in the capital that could stop the soldiers of Tongtian temple.
If he wanted to kill the remnants of Shen lang and Zhang Ji, it would be easy.
Zhang Zhao’s Army couldn’t stop them, and the Blackwater station military governor couldn’t either.
The commander of these 10000 soldier monks was an elder of Tongtian temple, Kong Shu. He looked at ning Shao coldly and suddenly slapped him hard, sending ning Shao flying with blood flowing out of his mouth and nose.
“Why did you provoke Shen lang? Why do you want to kill Shen Lang’s men?”
“Do you know that he massacred the entire bird extinction city?”
and he even threatened that if anyone dared to touch him before the battle of Tian Yue city, he would kill everyone in the hundred Flower Valley.
you’re a lunatic, and he’s even more so. Why did you provoke him? ”
“We could have defeated him in the battle of Tian Yue city and eliminated him. Why did we have to create more trouble? Will it bring irreparable losses to the Tongtian temple?”
“Shen lang is the son of Jiang Li. He has massacred the cities of the hidden origins sect and the heaven-killing Pavilion. Now, it’s finally our turn. Can you win? Could he win? If you enrage him, he’ll slaughter millions of people for you to see.”
“I order you not to touch a single hair of Shen lang before the battle in Tian Yue city. Do you hear me? Did you hear that?”
