Chapter 520
However, this storm was very strange. The people of the world were still extremely excited and were cheering for Shen lang and the great Qian dynasty. Especially the Wu, Chu, and Yue countries. It had already been a few months since the battle of Ding Yuan city, but they were still celebrating like crazy. No one knew how long they would be celebrating. As the temporary capital of the great gan dynasty, raging tide city also became a legendary city. The trade between the Wu, Chu, and Yue kingdoms and raging tide city broke new records every day.
However, the people of the new Qian dynasty also fell into a strange state of restlessness. Which country in the world loved and missed Jiang Li the most? It was definitely a newly established Kingdom.
But which country suppressed Jiang Li the most? It was definitely a New Kingdom with zero tolerance. Anyone who dared to say anything about missing Jiang Li in public was basically courting death. Ying Guang and his son adopted the most high-handed attitude on this matter. They would definitely kill one to set an example for the others.
Moreover, during the period when Ying Guang and his son had ruled the New Kingdom, the lives of the people had been very good. Especially for the other kingdoms, the living standards of the people in the New Kingdom were even higher. Therefore, the people of the New Kingdom had complicated feelings. They missed the glory of Jiang Li’s time, but they were afraid of change.
The years after Jiang Li’s sudden death were too painful. Countless soldiers of the Empire of Great Yan swarmed into the territory of great Qian Empire and started a massacre. Tens of millions of people were wiped out. Countless families were destroyed and millions of war refugees were killed.
According to the incomplete statistics, more than 20 countries had entered the great Qian Empire to kill and plunder. The exact number of troops that had entered the great Qian Empire to plunder was uncountable. That half a year was a huge nightmare. More than 100000 innocent women were raped, more than 1 million innocent people died tragically, and more than half of the families were plundered.
What followed next was a feast of crows. The entire great Qian Empire had been dismembered. The great Yan Empire and the great Jin Kingdom had taken away more than half of their territory. Three or four more vassal states had become independent. Even the Chu Kingdom had taken the opportunity to take away a large piece of land.
In the end, with the support of the great Yan Empire, Ying Guang established a New Kingdom. Although the area was less than half of what it had been before, the turbulent and turbulent days of countless citizens had finally come to an end. In the eyes of the people of the world, Ying Guang and his son were shameless traitors, and this was the case even in the hearts of the people of the new Qian Kingdom. However, their thoughts were very complicated. They felt that Ying Guang was a traitor, but they were grateful to him in their hearts and were willing to support him and be loyal to him.
Therefore, after Shen lang returned, the people from the New Kingdom should be the most excited and loyal to Shen lang.
However, that was not the case. The attitude of the tens of millions of citizens of the New Kingdom towards Shen lang was very strange. They did not express any hostility, but they did not show any loyalty or fanaticism either. In fact, they even seemed to be keeping a distance from him. This was because they were afraid of another war, and their families would be destroyed.
It might be hard to understand just by saying it like this, but it was clear with an example. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it fell into a huge disaster. Countless people were hungry and cold. After that, Russia recovered some of its National Strength with great difficulty.
Then you ask the Russia, do they miss the glory of the Soviet Union? They would definitely miss it. But if you asked them, if the Soviet Union came to Russia again, would they be willing? Their answer was no.
Therefore, Putin’s words had already explained the Russia’s mentality: To forget the Soviet Union is to be heartless; If he wanted to return to the Soviet Union, he would be brainless.
Of course, the DA Qian Empire was not the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union collapsed when it was trapped inside and outside, while the DA gan Empire collapsed at its most glorious time. The sudden death of Jiang Li led to the destruction of the Army and eventually led to the destruction of the DA gan Empire. In the eyes of countless people in the new Qian Kingdom, Ying Guang and his son were traitors, but they were also saviors.
Thus, after the battle of Ding Yuan city, Shen lang appeared to have won, but the new Qian Kingdom fell into a strange state. They were worried that Shen Lang’s Army would charge into the new Qian dynasty and the war would be ignited again.
The entire Eastern world was like a pot of boiling water. This was only the turmoil of the people at the bottom. The people at the top of power had fallen into a suffocating silence, the kind of silence before a storm, the peace before a great earthquake.
All the higher-ups of the various countries and the Empire of Great Yan only had one word in their minds at this moment, and that was to transcend the Council of powers.
The battle of Ding Yuan city had decided the fate of the world, and the Supreme power Council had decided the fate of the world. It would decide whether the new Qian Empire and the great Yan Empire would once again work together or break off.
Three years ago, a huge ancient relic in the southern sea was discovered at stupa mountain. The rapid development of their strength had determined today’s scene.
Stupa mountain kept spreading the news that Ying Wuming would represent stupa mountain to participate in the meeting of transcendent powers. The Empire of Great Yan didn’t express any public opinion about this, and even the Emperor was still in seclusion.
The atmosphere was too strange. The entire world was filled with uneasiness and anticipation, waiting for the next development of the situation.
With the eyes of the entire Yan capital, it felt like they were witnessing history.
In the past few months, there was no war in raging tide city, and Wu Chuyue was not involved in any war. It was as if Shen lang had disappeared from the center of the stage, and he had become a supporting character.
Then who was the absolute main character on the eastern world stage? The Crown Prince of the new Qian Kingdom, Ying Wuming! Everyone was eagerly waiting to see if he would really represent stupa mountain in the Supreme power conference. It was getting closer to the conference of the Supreme powers, and the representatives of the six Supreme powers had already entered the Yan capital.
A few days ago, Ying Wuming had appeared. He was leading a team to the Yan capital. All the upper echelons of the eastern world were stunned. Had this really happened? Were Ying Guang and stupa mountain really going to break free from the order controlled by the Emperor of Great Yan Empire?
Ying Wuming was getting closer and closer to the Yan capital. Everyone held their breath and waited for the reaction of the great Yan Empire.
What if Ying Wuming appeared in the Supreme Council? This would mean that the New Kingdom and stupa mountain would officially become independent. Therefore, the Empire of Yan would definitely react and use their strategic forces to deter and stop them. What would the Empire of Yan do? No one knew, but everyone was looking forward to it.
Why was Shen lang so sure that the Empire of Yan would launch the Dragon’s regret within five days? furthermore, the target was huanlu city. This was a city that symbolized miraculous peace and the symbol of unity in the Great Yan Dynasty. This was not just a desert oasis city, there were also hundreds of thousands of acres of artificial forests. These were all planted one by one by countless people.
In anyone’s eyes, this city had no value other than its reputation. Destroying it would also be meaningless to Ying Guang.
Was Shen lang a God? Can you predict? Of course not!
Let’s start from the secret base of the Zhu family. The group of scholars had spent more than ten years but still could not decipher Dragon’s regret. However, there were countless relevant information. Before Shen Lang’s Army landed on the island, they had tried to destroy most of the information. However, the group of scholars were still naive and could not bear to destroy their hard work. Thus, they hid a lot of information in every secret corner of the island.
After they were captured, they thought that their willpower was strong and that they would not confess. However, Shen lang used a chemical to attack their brains, and the scholars from the Zhu family who were injected with the drug fell into a daze. They lost their minds and confessed.
Not only did Shen lang obtain this information, but he also obtained 90% of the assembly drawings for the Dragon’s power. He also obtained a lot of fragmented statements that were meaningless to listen to.
For example, White Emperor City, the Red Sea, Vajra peak, and huanlu city, and they had repeatedly mentioned the same word: ninth of the ninth month.
At that time, Shen lang did not understand the specific meaning of these words, and he had almost never heard of those places. The only thing he knew was still Dew City. Then, Hila tortured them and interrogated them. What was still Dew City? But he didn’t get an answer at all.
Apart from the double yang Festival, the ninth of September was also very close to another big day. It was the twenty-third of September, the day of the Supreme power conference that was held once every five years.
Shen lang sent a secret team of more than 1000 people to explore the world. They wanted to find new ancient ruins. They explored the Gobi Desert and countless islands. After getting the confession from the Zhu family’s scholar, he ordered the team to secretly explore huanlu city, a city in the desert oasis located in the Northwest of the Great Yan Dynasty.
In the end, he still didn’t gain anything. It was just that it was especially green. It was definitely a Miracle City, and it had forcibly created a Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall in the desert. Initially, Shen lang wanted to explore it himself, but he did not have the time.
However, after the battle of Ding Yuan city, the situation in the world instantly became clear. The cracks between the Emperor of Great Yan, Ying Guang, and stupa mountain also became clear. Thus, the information that seemed to be chaotic before suddenly became clear.
Shen lang made a bold prediction. The Zhu family had set the deadline to crack Dragon’s regret on the ninth of September at their secret base on a deserted island. Furthermore, the target of the launch was huanlu city, and the Zhu family’s Secret base was not the only one to carry out this mission.
Shen Lang’s guess was very reasonable. Others might not know about the rift between the Emperor and Ying Guang, but the Emperor was very clear about it. He must have made plans for the upcoming crisis.
If they wanted to stop Ying Guang and stupa mountain from becoming independent, what would Ying Guang do? Using Dragon’s regret as a strategic deterrent was the most effective, but he couldn’t use the name of the Empire of Great Yan. A certain Overlord on earth in the modern era even knew how to use the name of terrorists.
Among the secret locations that the scholar of the Zhu family had confessed, White Emperor City seemed to be in the extreme north, and Vajra peak was completely unheard of. The Red Sea seemed to be in the West of the kingdoms in the Western Region, and the only one that was closer to the New Kingdom was huanlu city.
In that case, there must be some kind of secret hidden in huanlu city, and it was related to Ying Guang’s interests. However, Shen lang did not realize it, and it seemed like stupa mountain did not realize it either.
That was why the princess of stupa mountain felt that Shen Lang’s words were ridiculous. Firstly, the Empire of Great Yan had never launched Dragon’s regret before, and there was no evidence that they could launch it. Secondly, even if he fired Dragon’s regret, it would not be Huan Lu Cheng’s turn. However, from all the signs, Shen lang was pretty sure of his judgment.
........................
Although the new crown Prince, Ying Wuming, didn’t walk fast, he still arrived outside the Yan capital.
The entire Yan capital fell into silence. The Imperial Cabinet did not express any opinions, nor did they send a Prime Minister to welcome them.
Just like that, Ying Wuming walked for three days and still hadn’t finished the last 50 miles. He was moving forward at a turtle’s speed.
Every day, he had to write a memorial to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the wise Crown Prince. This was to give the Yan capital time to react and to see how they would receive him.
All the countries in the world had a residence in the Yan capital. Either the son of a King or an important Minister was stationed there. The Yan capital was the absolute center of the entire Eastern world and the focus of the world.
Everyone was waiting for the reaction of the Yan capital Palace. Would they issue a decree to berate Ying Wuming? Or should he use more intense methods? Or should he act as if nothing had happened?
On the sixth day of the ninth month, the Yan capital Palace didn’t let the people wait for too long. The Crown Prince personally led a few important royal officials to welcome the new crown Prince, Ying Wuming, and came to the Vermillion Bird gate.
That’s right, it was the Vermillion Bird gate again. All the countries in the eastern world had these four gates: the Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, and white Tiger. However, of the four gates of the Yan capital, the four main roads were of the highest standard. They were even larger than the Chang ‘an city of the great Tang in history.
Under everyone’s gazes, the Crown Prince of the great Yan Empire met with the new crown Prince, Ying Wuming, and had a short discussion. Both parties condemned Shen lang for being a fake great Qian dynasty.
“Brother, you’ve had a hard time.” The Crown Prince of the great Yan Empire said.
Ying Wuming bowed and said, ” every time I leave the Yan capital, I start to miss you. This time, I’m really eager to go home. I want to see your Majesty and the Crown Prince again. Now, I’m glad to see your Highness as glorious as before.
“Come, come, come.” The Crown Prince of the great Yan Empire held Ying Wuming’s wrist and said, ” “The two of us brothers will enter the capital together.”
Ying Wuming quickly took three steps back and bowed, ” “Sovereign, subject, subject, I don’t dare to overstep my boundaries.”
Next, the Crown Prince of the great Yan Empire tried to show respect to the wise and wanted to hold Ying Wuming’s hand to enter the Yan capital. However, Ying Wuming refused and even knelt down in the end.
if your Highness is still unwilling, I will not dare to step into the Yan capital. Ying Wuming said with his forehead touching the ground.
The Crown Prince said, ” Alright, alright. It’s up to you. Brother, you’re too polite.
A general of the Empire of Great Yan shouted, ” “Soldiers, line up!”
Immediately, the 3000 Imperial guards of honor lined up neatly and drew their sabers to welcome Ying Wuming into the city.
“We welcome the new crown Prince into the capital!” A Vice Minister of the Empire and several hundred officials bowed in unison.
The Yan capital welcomed Ying Wuming with a very high standard, even surpassing the ceremony of a Prince.
“Brother, please!”
“Your Highness, please!”
Then, the Crown Prince and Ying Wuming mounted their war horses and inspected the honor guards of the great Yan Empire.
“We welcome the new crown Prince.”
“We welcome the new crown Prince.”
The Crown Prince and Ying Wuming’s warhorses didn’t move fast, but they were very gorgeous, as if they were performing a grand dance. Wherever they passed, the Imperial guards of honor stood straight and shouted in unison, drawing their swords to pay tribute.
A few minutes later, the two crown princes finished inspecting the guards of honor and officially arrived at the Vermillion Bird gate.
“Fire the cannons!” With an order.
The gun salutes on the city walls were new to him. He had learned them from raging tide city and fired seventeen times.
This was a very high standard, exceeding that of an ordinary Prince. It was only second to the crown prince’s nineteen chimes and the emperor’s twenty-one chimes.
“We welcome the new crown Prince.”
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Along with the gun salutes, countless people shouted in unison. Ying Wuming followed the Crown Prince into the Vermilion Bird gate.
At the same time!
In the distant Northwest border, there was a huge desert. It was almost the westernmost region of the Great Yan Dynasty. Three thousand miles further west was the kingdoms of the Western Region. Although the desert here was not as terrifying as the great desert, it still spanned two to three thousand miles. Huanlu city was the largest oasis in the desert, and it was also the forefront of the Great Yan Dynasty’s resistance against the desert.
The city was indeed beautiful, like a Jade embedded in the desert. The hundreds of thousands of acres of forest brought about a vibrant life.
Countless scholars and literati left behind poems that sang the praises of the unity of the Great Yan Dynasty and the miracle of man triumphing over the heavens. Even though this city was the closest to the new empire, it was jointly developed by the three empires.
“Look, look, what’s that?”
Suddenly, someone pointed at the sky.
Then, countless people in Lu city saw a stunning scene. A shooting star flew across the sky with a green light and whizzed over.
Just a few seconds later!
This light suddenly smashed into huanlu city.
A Green Hell flower bloomed in the center of the city, brighter than the sun.
Then, countless houses, trees, and people were all turned into ashes.
An earth-shattering explosion!
Dragon’s Regret’s destruction was once again on stage!
........................
This time, it was still the Condor-riding man of the heavenly killing Pavilion who reported the news. What a coincidence, they were also not far from the scene of the big explosion.
On the 6th of September, a strategic weapon, Dragon’s regret, destroyed Miracle City, the symbol of peace, Huan Lu city.
On the 7th of September, the news reached the Yan capital.
The whole world was shocked, and so was Yan capital. The Crown Prince almost fainted after hearing the news. He staggered to The Forbidden Tower to report the shocking news to the Emperor.
However, the Emperor, who was in seclusion, still had no reaction, as if he had not heard anything.
The Crown Prince summoned all the officials and envoys from all over the world. He was extremely sorrowful and ordered everyone in Yan capital to mourn for the dead in huanlu city. The Xuanwu sect’s flag was at half-mast to mourn.
In the main hall, the Empire’s crown prince’s every word was like a Cuckoo weeping blood as he recalled every precious moment in the city.
a few years ago, I went to Huan Lu city on behalf of my father. I still remember clearly that I grabbed the hands of a tree farmer and realized that his hands were even rougher than tree bark. That was a pair of miraculous hands. Huan Lu city was built by these miraculous hands.
“Dew City is the fruit of countless people’s blood and sweat. It is the pride of the Great Yan Dynasty. Now it was gone? The city was gone, and so were the pairs of hands of miracles? Heavens, how innocent Lu Cheng was? Why did you suffer such a disaster?”
“Who is it that is so insane? What kind of hatred can come to Yan capital and me, why destroy the innocent huanlu city?”
“This is so painful!”
“Men, send a Messenger to raging tide city and ask Shen lang if he was the one who launched Dragon’s regret. If so, the Empire will definitely take revenge at all costs, at all costs!”
Then, the Crown Prince came to Ying Wuming, held his hands and cried, ” “Brother, do you still remember? In Dew City, the two of us had even planted a tree together. Now that this tree is gone, Dew City is gone.”
Ying Wuming trembled and also said with tears, ” “Your Highness, you must seek justice for Huan Lu city. We can’t let those people die with their eyes wide open.”
it must be Shen lang who launched this Dragon’s regret. This lunatic. Only he has Dragon’s regret and has launched it twice. You used Dragon’s regret to destroy an Army, and now you’re using it to destroy a city. God, why don’t you send down a lightning bolt to kill this thief?” A civil official knelt on the ground and wailed, beating his chest and lungs.
He had thought that the Crown Prince would definitely cater to him, but in the end, he didn’t at all. Even the Prime Ministers of the inner cabinet looked at him with a strange gaze. He was instantly horrified. Did I do something wrong? did I say something wrong?
Then, several prime ministers of Zenit also kneeled on the ground and wailed. They criticized him severely, but they didn’t point their fingers at anyone.
..................
At a certain place.
When Ying Guang of the newly established Kingdom heard this news, his entire body trembled. He couldn’t believe it.
Bad news, shocking bad news.
Dragon’s regret will completely destroy Dew City?
Ying Guang’s heart ached, and he slowly closed his eyes.
He knew that Ying Wuming was representing stupa mountain to attend the Supreme power conference. This matter would definitely anger Yan capital and they would definitely retaliate fiercely.
Besides, Ying Guang also wanted to know if the great Yan Empire could launch Dragon’s regret.
It was bad news that the great Yan Empire could do it, as it meant that the Empire of Great Yan had also mastered a terrifying strategic deterrence.
However, Ying Guang really didn’t expect that the Emperor of Great Yan would choose to destroy huanlu city. Even a madman wouldn’t choose this city.
Why? Why?
There was an ancient secret base under huanlu city, which was very important. Ying guangkai was very careful and only sent his most loyal people. These people were all in a coma when they were sent there. When they woke up, they were already in the secret underground base. They didn’t know where they were, and they couldn’t leave this secret underground base at all.
This ancient secret base was of strategic significance to Ying Guang. There were no more than three people who knew about it, and no one would betray it. How did the Emperor know about it? Not only did it destroy huanlu city, but it also destroyed his strategic secret base.
This was not just a warning, but the most direct deterrence. What should he do next? Completely compromise? Not allowing Ying Wuming to represent stupa mountain in the Supreme power conference?
That was impossible! The arrow was already nocked and had no choice but to fire.
But how should he retaliate against the Emperor? How could they threaten the Empire of Great Yan?
The only answer was Shen lang!
........................
9th of September!
In a huge tomb in a certain underground city.
Your Highness, the latest news is that on the sixth day of the ninth month, a Dragon’s regret destroyed Dew City.
Princess stupa mountain’s body trembled, and she fell silent.
However, the entire tomb was filled with a powerful energy. It was clear that the princess of stupa mountain was very excited.
Shen Lang’s prediction was correct. He said that it would be within five days, but it happened three days after he said that.
Did the Empire of Great Yan really launch a Dragon’s regret and completely destroy huanlu city?
Why was it still in the city?
“Go, get Shen lang to come over.”
..................
In the room, Shen lang was doing squats. He had been practicing this for the past few days. Some data showed that squats were beneficial for improving a man’s abilities in certain areas.
Of course, it was too late for Shen lang to do it now. He was making last-minute preparations. However, there was a saying that went, ” even if you don’t sharpen your knife quickly, you’ll still lose it.
“Put on your clothes and follow me.” The female warrior came in and said coldly.
“No, I need to take a bath first,” Shen lang said.
The female warrior walked out, but Shen lang did not follow her. Instead, he said firmly, ” I was sweating while practicing my squats just now. I need to take a bath and burn some incense. I don’t want to leave any bad memories for the princess.
“Hurry up, don’t dawdle,” The muscular female warrior said.
Shen lang said, ” let me take a bath. Otherwise, I won’t go. Moreover, I want to wear silk clothes.
The female warrior resisted the urge to punch Shen lang to death and walked away in anger. Soon, she brought back a bathtub.
Shen lang took a bath happily, got on a brocade robe, and even burned incense.
“Let’s go, let’s go. Don’t let the princess wait too long.” Shen lang said.
The female warrior led the way and brought Shen lang to the tomb.
..................
The tomb was still dark.
“Your Highness, did I win?” Shen lang asked.
The tomb was silent. After a long while, the princess of stupa mountain said, ” “Yes, you won! On the sixth day of the ninth month, the Empire of Great Yan launched a Dragon’s regret and destroyed Dew City.”
Shen lang said, ” did you see that? this is the power of wisdom. Your Highness, you don’t have to worship me. This is just one of the countless miracles of my wisdom. But do you know why the Empire of Yan chose to return Dew City? That should be an ancient secret base of Ying Guang. It was very important and had extremely high strategic value. Ying Guang didn’t tell you about this, right? This is a very bad behavior. There is no mutual trust at all. This kind of one-sided concealment is very terrifying. It means that Ying Guang has great disloyalty towards your stupa mountain.”
Shen lang continued to drive a wedge between Ying Guang and stupa mountain. How did he know that this was Ying Guang’s Secret underground base? It was all a guess, and there was no evidence at all. But what kind of Bullsh * t evidence was needed to slander others?
The princess of stupa mountain remained silent. However, this matter was as serious as Shen lang had said. Stupa mountain and the new Qian Kingdom were already preparing to form an alliance. In fact, Ying Wuming was going to represent stupa mountain in the Alliance meeting. However, Ying Guang was still trying to hide such a crucial piece of information. It was extremely vile. Did they not want strategic mutual trust?
“Your Highness, do you still remember our bet?” Shen lang asked.
The princess of stupa mountain was silent.
Shen lang said,”if I lose, one of my fingers will be cut off.” If I win, we’ll put a hat on Ying Wuming’s head. I wonder if I’m wrong?”
The other party still did not respond.
Shen lang said, ” Your Highness, Your Highness. You must accept your loss. Are you going back on your word? ”
Your Highness, important people like us always keep our word. We can’t go back on our words, or we’ll bring shame to our ancestors.
The door in front of him opened with a rumble. Was this a silent invitation?
Shen lang walked over, passed through the door, and came to a room in the tomb.
The fragrance became even stronger. Was this the boudoir of the princess of stupa mountain?
Very soon, Shen Lang’s leg hit something. It seemed to be a stone bed.
What was the meaning of this darkness?
“Your Highness, I think it’s better to have the lights on,” Shen lang said.
The lights lit up.
Shen lang saw a beautiful figure that was indescribable.
Her figure was even better than Ning Han’s, and it even felt a little metaphysical, filled with a magical feeling.
“Shen lang, you have won the bet. But are you sure you want me to be the wager?” The princess of stupa mountain said.
“I’m sure, definitely, definitely!” Shen lang said.
“That’s good. I hope you won’t regret it!” The princess of stupa mountain said.
Then, she directly took off her veil and the cloak on her body.
Instantly, Shen lang was completely stunned, and his eyes widened to their maximum.
They couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Shen lang did not expect this at all. He did not expect this even in his dreams. Did Yingying see a ghost?
Stupa mountain sneered. Shen lang, go ahead. Don’t be shy.
She was so beautiful that it was beyond imagination, and even filled with a sense of fantasy.
However, her entire body was transparent, as transparent as crystal glass!
It was too strange, too bizarre. Was, was she still human?
