Chapter 130: Chapter 130 the final battle! The moment of fate!
Translator: 549690339
“The king has a decree!”
Uncle Xuanwu, the Countess, Jin mucong, and Jin Mulan knelt down again.
In fact, some people noticed that Shen lang was not around, but no one mentioned it.
Furthermore, a live-in son-in-law was not qualified to receive such an imperial edict. However, the Emperor had given Shen lang an imperial edict to give him the status of a eunuch.
Therefore, Shen lang had to be there as well.
However, even though Shen lang could act cool, he could not bear to see others acting cool. Therefore, he did not come.
The family also doted on Shen lang. If he didn’t want to kneel down and didn’t like to see other people acting cool, then he didn’t have to come.
the two of you have many conflicts because of the fight over the Jinshan Island. I can’t sleep at night, so I’ve sent my fourth son, Ning Yan, to mediate!
This was the emperor’s decree.
Of course, this was only the first decree.
This was also the reason why Shen lang was not willing to come. You guys love acting too much.
They clearly wanted to stab me to death, but they had to create a public opinion that I wanted to be stabbed to death.
Was he really knocking on your door?
The fourth prince, Ning Yan, said lightly, ” father sent me here to make the last effort to mediate the fief dispute between count Xuanwu and count Jinhai. After all, peace is the most important thing. Both sides should sit down and talk. What do you think? ”
The thousands of cavalrymen outside were full of killing intent and pressure. What kind of pleasant expression were you still trying to put on?
“Yes!” Said uncle Black Tortoise.
The fourth prince, Ning Yan, said, ” let count Jin hai come over. I will make the decision. We will talk in the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu. I will personally watch from the side.
......
Two hours later!
Jin Hai Bo and black Tortoise Bo carried out the final negotiations for the fief of the gold Mountain Island.
At a long table, the Earl of Xuanwu and his men sat on the left, while Jin Haibo and his men sat on the right.
Governor Zhang Ye sat in the middle and hosted the event.
At the very end of the negotiation Hall, there were two chairs. The fourth prince, Ning Yan, and the governor of Tiannan province were sitting on them.
The atmosphere was very serious and solemn.
It was as if they were having a real negotiation.
Governor-General Zhu and I are only wearing our ears this time, ” ning Meng said with a smile. you can say anything you want.
then, he looked around, trying to find shen lang.
Shen lang should be the think tank of uncle Xuanwu, so why was he not present at such a negotiation?
The servants could read the minds of their Masters. Seeing the fourth Prince’s expression, one of the eunuchs immediately said sternly, ” “Uncle Xuanwu, why don’t I see your son-in-law, Shen lang?”
Shen lang is not feeling well, ” uncle Black Tortoise Jin Zhuo said. he’s afraid that his illness will affect Your Highness, so he didn’t come.
The honest count directly gave him a soft nail.
Instantly, the fourth prince Ning Yan’s expression changed slightly. This was not giving him any face at all.
The so-called negotiations that followed did not have any verbal sparring.
Jin Haibo’s family was still very intense. They sang the merit of the monarch with passion and then talked about the history of the Tang family ruling the Jinshan Island for hundreds of years.
In the end, he handed in a thick stack of evidence that was more than a few hundred pages long.
“The iron-like fact has proven that the gold Mountain Island has always belonged to my Tang family since ancient times.”
Almost everyone present had a copy of the several hundred pages of evidence.
The fourth prince, Ning Yan, was very satisfied. This was the duty of an official.
He knew that it was an act, but he had to make it look realistic. Even if he wanted to destroy the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, he had to make it seem reasonable and legal.
Next, it was uncle Black Tortoise’s turn.
“We object!”
After that, there was nothing else.
Everyone was shocked.
The atmosphere was heavy and awkward.
Just now, Jin Haibo’s family had been impassioned and had written tens of thousands of words.
And when it was your uncle Black Tortoise’s turn to speak, you only said we object?
You, what do you mean by this?
Do you have resentment in your heart?
Is this a public slap in the face?
Are you openly disrespecting the monarch’s authority?
The fourth prince, Ning Zheng, and Governor Zhu Rong were both present, but uncle Xuanwu did not give them any face?
This time, ning Meng really couldn’t keep her face. She smiled and said, ” “Viceroy, it looks like we don’t have enough face.”
butchering pigs, ” Jin Mulan said coldly, ” and even asking the pigs to perform well before they die. Please forgive us for not being able to do it.
Uncle Black Tortoise said,”according to the Yue country’s laws, as a vassal, our clan has the right to defend independently.” Even if the Lord came, he would not have the right to take over the defense of the palace of the Earl. However, a few hundred years have passed, and the laws of our ancestors no longer seem to be effective.”
As soon as he said this.
The fourth prince, Ning Yan, turned pale.
Was uncle Black Tortoise’s family seeking their own deaths? Or was it a trapped beast fighting?
He actually dared to openly turn hostile.
According to the laws of our ancestors, there shouldn’t be a new policy yet.
Following that, uncle Black Tortoise stood up and bowed towards uncle Jin hai, ” “Brother Tang, can we have a chat in the study room?”
The meaning was very clear, he wanted to leave everyone present and talk to Jin Hai Bo alone.
At this time, the fourth prince Ning Meng smiled and said, ” “Uncle Jin hai, since uncle Black Tortoise has invited you, you should go.”
......
The count of Black Tortoise, Jin Zhuo, entered the study.
Jin Hai Bo brought the Prince Tang Yun into the study.
In the study room, Shen lang was already waiting in front of a map.
Tang Lun, count of Jin hai, could not help but be slightly stunned.
The Earl of Black Tortoise, Jin Zhuo, did not bring anyone but Shen lang.
After entering the study, both of them fell into a brief silence.
Shen lang said, ” uncle Jin hai, more than 100 years ago, the Pirates landed and swept through your family’s land. You even lost your family castle. It was my ancestor, Jin Yan, who led the Army to help you get back your land and your Foundation, right? ”
Jin Hai Bo frowned.
The last thing he wanted to hear was this humiliating past.
Shen lang said, ” back then, Marquis Jin hai came to our house personally. He knelt and begged ancestor Jin Lu to send troops to help him take back his territory. He promised to give the island to the Jin family after the matter was done. He even signed a contract. “Ancestor Jin Lu led an Army and killed in all directions. He helped your family take back all your fiefs and annihilated all the Pirates, returning peace to Yue country’s sea defense. At that time, under the witness of the king, your family personally handed over the gold Mountain Island to my Jin family.”
“Let’s not talk about how our family saved your lives. Why did you go back on your word?”
Everything that Shen lang said was true.
Otherwise, how could the Tang family’s gold Mountain Island fall into the hands of the Jin family?
However, to the palace of the Earl of Jinhai, this was the most humiliating thing and they never mentioned it.
“Haha!” Tang Yun, the son of the Earl of Jinhai, said,”Shen lang, what you’ve said is all nonsense. Do you think there was a contract or proof that my family handed over the gold Mountain Island to the Jin family more than a hundred years ago?”
This was the disgusting part.
After the death of ancestor Jin Lu, the contract had also disappeared.
But there were three copies of this contract. There was one at the palace of the Earl of Jinhai and one at the monarch’s place.
Those two were still safe and sound. It was in their hands.
Therefore, Tang Yun was completely making things up.
Your shameless look is not bad!
“Alright,” he said. Shen lang said sincerely, ” let’s not talk about these past events. The new policies are in full swing. Your Tang family is the same as our Jin family, both are old noble families with fiefs and private armies, and should have common interests. In order to protect ourselves, our two families should be United. How can we kill each other? We are of the same root, why are we in such a hurry to torture each other?”
What Shen lang said was true.
The palace of the Earl of Jinhai and the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu were both the top aristocratic families in Yue country.
Shen lang continued, ” we are all old-school aristocrats. Yet, the Tang family is on the side of the new political party. You are trying to kill the Jin family. Isn’t this to make the enemy happy?”
“Besides, if the lips die, the teeth will be cold. When the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu is destroyed, who knows if the new policies will burn you?”
Shen Lang’s words were true.
However, Tang Yun, the heir of the count of Jinhai, was disdainful.
Anyone could talk about such a great principle. If everyone was so righteous, there would be no new policies in the first place.
Shen lang, you’re really childish and ignorant. As expected, you’re from the lower class and your knowledge is so shallow.
“Don’t kill me, fellow Daoist,” Tang Yun said indifferently.
This world also had this saying?
However, there was nothing more vicious than these words.
Even if there was anything, it would have to wait until the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was dead.
This was exactly the same as the mentality of the traitors during the war of Resistance.
The taijun is here? Then we’ll be your slaves and kill all those unruly people who dare to resist the taijun.
Then, the Supreme Lord shouldn’t attack us next, right?
The palace of the Earl of Jinhai wanted to betray his position and become a vicious dog of the monarch. He wanted to bite the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu and his own kind? What can you do?
“Jin Hai Bo, must we kill each other like this?” Shen lang begged.
“I, Tang Lun, have always been loyal to the monarch and patriotic. I’m not ashamed to be associated with you,” Jin Hai Bo said lightly.
Tang Yun said,”Shen lang, I understand that the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu wants to live.” &Nbsp;
There was still the second half of his sentence that he didn’t say.”Your Jin family should stop struggling and jumping up and down. It’s useless.”
Shen lang said sadly,”isn’t it just gold Mountain Island?” We can talk, how about this? Two-thirds of the iron produced by the gold Mountain Island will go to you, and one-third will go to my Jin family?”
“Hehe!” Tang Yun smiled disdainfully.
Shen lang said coldly, ” three quarters for you guys. One quarter for my family. That’s fine too.
hehe! Tang Yun was even more disdainful.
This time, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was besieged from all directions. It was the will of all parties.
The monarch, the new political party, the bureaucrats, the surrounding aristocrats, and even the Pirate King Qiu Tianwei would come to take a bite.
These vultures had been circling in the sky for a long time, waiting to eat the corpses of the Jin family.
Shen lang, you actually think that the palace of the Earl of Jinhai only wants one gold Mountain Island?
He was really too naive and childish.
We want you to die! We’ll also bite off a large piece of meat from your corpses. The iron ore on moon Cliff Island will belong to us after this.
“It’s almost the new year. Everyone wants to kill pigs to celebrate a good New Year,” said Tang Yun.
He used his eyes to tell Shen lang to stop jumping around. The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu should stop as well.
In any case, struggling was a knife, and An Jing was also a knife. Death was the only way out.
Be quiet and don’t resist. You’ll die a more comfortable death.
“Goodbye,” Jin Hai Bo bowed.
Then, he left with Tang Yun. Shen Lang’s sad expression disappeared instantly and he spat.
Uncle Black Tortoise looked at his son-in-law and couldn’t help but ask, ” “You’re good at acting.”
......
After Jin Hai Bo came out, he couldn’t help but say,”Didn’t they say that Shen lang is unparalleled in his intelligence? How can you be so unbearable?”
Tang Yun said, ” he’s from a lowly background. He’s clever but not wise. He’s just a clown!
He was very angry.
Who Do You Think You Are, Shen lang? He was just a lowly live-in son-in-law.
I, Tang Yun, am the flower of the palace, the Prince of the palace of the Earl.
One of us is in the sky, and the other is on the ground.
Shen lang, what right do you have to negotiate with me? you don’t even have the right to talk to me.
You think you’re worthy?
However, Tang Yun felt that he still had to be more tolerant of people who were about to die.
After all, the ignorant had no fear.
......
After Jin Haibo and Tang Yun came out.
Shen lang and uncle Black Tortoise also came out.
“How was the secret meeting?” asked Governor Zhang Ji.
“We didn’t reach a consensus!” Jin Hai Bo said.
The fourth prince, Ning Yan, looked at Shen lang and remembered his face.
Aren’t you sick? Weren’t you afraid that the sickness would hit me?
it seems that I’ve come here in vain, ” ning Meng said with a smile. the mediation failed.
Governor Zhu Rong said, ” Earl Xuanwu, our opinion is very clear. We will split the gold Mountain Island into two. The North will belong to the palace of the Earl of Jinhai, and the South will belong to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu. Do you really not agree? ”
Here it comes again.
All of the gold mines on the island were located in the North. There were only trees and sand in the South, which was useless.
“I don’t agree.” Uncle Black Tortoise Jin Zhuo said.
“Then Yingluo will follow the previous years” practice?”the fourth prince, Ning Yan, asked.
“Alright!” Uncle Black Tortoise replied.
“Good!”
The fourth Prince’s expression turned cold. He took out a yellow scroll and unfurled it. “The monarch has spoken. Count Black Tortoise and count Jin hai will kneel and listen.”
The two counts knelt down again.
The fourth prince delivered the king’s decree in a very stern tone.
“For the sake of the gold Mountain Island, your two clans have been fighting each other every day. Even if you guys aren’t annoyed, I’m also annoyed.”
This was a verbal order, not a literary one.
“Since you don’t accept mediation, then we’ll follow the rules of the past, three matches to determine the winner!”
“I’m in charge of a thousand Affairs, and I don’t have the time to pay attention to your trivial matters every day. The winner will always have the ownership of the island, and the loser will give up forever. Do you two have any objections?”
This was the advantage of a verbal decree. The king was also happy and did not need to form it into words.
“Father is asking you,” the fourth prince said sternly. Jin Haibo, do you have any objections?”
“I have no objection,” Jin Hai Bo bowed.
“What about you, uncle Black Tortoise?” the fourth prince asked coldly.
“No objections!” Uncle Black Tortoise replied with grief and indignation.
“It’s decided then. According to the hundred-year tradition, three battles will determine the winner. However, this time, it was a decisive move. The losing side will forever give up the right to own the gold Mountain Island.”
......
Then, the fourth prince took out a contract, which was drawn up by the State of Yue’s Minister of State.
The Council of Ministers was the highest government agency in the country, equivalent to the cabinet of the future.
It was clearly written in the contract.
According to the hundred-year rule of Yue country’s aristocrats, the battle of Gold Mountain Island would be decided by a martial arts competition.
It was divided into three battles, the Civil battle, the martial battle, and the military battle.
The Civil War was an imperial examination, and the monarch would personally set the questions.
A martial battle was a duel between two people.
Military warfare was a battle between two armies. According to the usual practice, both families would send 100 people each to kill each other until one side was completely defeated or surrendered. The process was very bloody.
The Civil and martial battles must be personally completed by the children of both families. No one else could replace them, and son-in-law was no exception.
In other words, Jin Mulan and Tang Yan were fighting.
Shen lang was not qualified to participate in the competition between Jin mucong and Tang Yun.
Anyone who used their toes to think would know that the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu would definitely lose.
Tang Yan’s meteoric sword technique was invincible and unsolvable. All the experts of the younger generation were killed by him in seconds.
Even su jianting, the son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, had lost, let alone Jin Mulan. Her swordsmanship was not as good as su jianting’s.
Jin Mulan’s swordsmanship was at least two levels lower than Tang Yan’s.
As for Jin mucong and Tang Yun’s literary competition?
Is this a joke?
What was Jin mucong? He was a fat otaku who was still copying homework every day.
And Tang Yun had been hit by the palace probing flower last year.
This was a confrontation between a middle school student and a Harvard PhD student.
With these three battles, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu had no chance of winning.
The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was doomed for the battle of the gold Mountain Island.
He was 100% dead!
......
if both parties have no objections, then please sign this contract.
The fourth prince, Ning Yan, said.
Tang Lun, the Earl of Jinhai, stepped forward and signed his name, then stamped the seal of the palace of the Earl of Jinhai.
The Earl of Black Tortoise, Jin Zhuo, stepped forward and signed his name before stamping his seal.
Next, as witnesses, Zhang Ji and Governor Zhu Rong signed and stamped their seals on it.
In an instant, this contract possessed supreme power.
Everyone heaved a long sigh of relief.
All the formalities had finally been completed. It had not been easy.
Almost everyone present looked at the Earl of Xuanwu and his group with sympathy.
It was as if he was looking at a corpse.
Everyone could see that after losing the gold Mountain Island, the situation of the Jin family would fall like dominoes.
After that, they lost watch Cliff Island, then the Army, then the fief, and finally everything!
The fourth prince, Ning Yan, said,”in that case, both families should be prepared!” Five days later, your two clans will go to war!”
Three battles to decide the outcome.
The winner takes all, and the loser is finished.
It was the horn of the decisive battle to besiege the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu from all directions!
The official blow!
There was no time to prepare.
Five days later, the three battles that would decide the fate of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu officially began!
