Chapter 136: Peak confrontation! The final battle
Translator: 549690339
After Shen lang left, the banquet continued.
“Although Shen lang is arrogant, he does have some talent,” Viscount Zhu Lanting said.
No one responded to him.
Only Zhang Chunhua frowned slightly. She could tell that Zhu Lanting wanted to seal off Shen Lang’s escape route.
As expected, Viscount Zhu Lanting continued, ” the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu is going to be destroyed soon. By then, Chen Lang will be like a Crow that has lost its nest. Your Highness, you might be able to take him in and train him.
The fourth prince, Ning Zheng, said,”I’ve already said that they’re crows. How can I take them in?” It was inauspicious! Besides, father doesn’t like this person to be opportunistic and frivolous, so who would dare to use him?”
Hearing this, Viscount Zhu Lanting was overjoyed.
Shen lang was dead!
Originally, he was worried that someone would take a fancy to Chen Lang’s talent. Even if the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was destroyed, this little b * stard wouldn’t die. Instead, he would fall into the hands of some Big Shot. That would be troublesome.
For example, Zhang Ji and even Governor Zhu Rong needed talents.
However, after the fourth prince, Ning Yan, said that, no one would dare to take Shen lang in.
The monarch did not like Shen lang.
This was a strong political signal.
This was especially true for an ambitious official like Zhang Ji, who would never go against the will of the Emperor.
As expected, after hearing the fourth Prince’s words, Zhang Ji’s hand paused.
On the other hand, Zhang Chunhua’s expression changed. On the other hand, Zhang Pu was overjoyed as he was eager to see Shen lang die.
The governor, Zhu Rong, glanced at Viscount Zhu Lanting.
It was really like a thief who wanted to take a bite.
Zhu Lanting’s little trick had almost killed Shen lang.
......
After the banquet, in the Zhang family’s old residence.
once again, zhang chunhua sat on the chair with her hands wrapped around her legs and her chin resting on her knees.
“Zhu Lanting and his son deserve to die.” “Father, you must have been blind back then to have wanted me to marry Zhu Wenhua,” Zhang Chunhua said.
Zhang Ji was very strict with his son, but he was very forgiving towards his daughter. He didn’t mind Zhang Chunhua’s rude words.
Back then, he had wanted to marry Zhang Chunhua to Zhu Wenhua because he wanted to go along with the king’s wishes.
When Zhu Lanting gave up his fief and military power, he was really popular. He was like a flag in the hands of the monarch.
Moreover, at that time, the New Deal was not as smooth as it was now, and the new political party was not very confident.
After all, the power of the old nobles was still very strong.
Moreover, Zhu Wenhua’s talent was very famous at that time. He was popular in the entire Tiannan province and seemed to have a bright future.
Therefore, he had announced that he would betroth his daughter to Zhu Wenhua. This was a political statement. I, Zhang Ji, will always be in line with the king.
Now, two years had passed.
The situation had changed drastically.
The new political party could be said to have completely destroyed everything.
Especially after the North guarding Marquis and the yuan guarding Marquis made a compromise, the entire aristocratic faction was like a dragon without a leader. They were like a plate of loose sand.
The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was on the verge of destruction.
The color of Viscount Zhu Lanting’s flag was not as bright.
As a result, Zhang Ji’s heart for this marriage also faded.
“Daughter, there are many good men in the world. Find another one you like.” Zhang Ji sighed.
“Do you think that a woman’s heart is like a toilet?” Zhang Chunhua asked.
Zhang Ye frowned, but he did not blame his daughter.
“Father, is Shen lang really going to die?” Zhang Chunhua asked.
Zhang Ye said, ” unless the monarch changes his opinion of him, no one would dare to use him. I don’t even dare to use him. After all, I’m the monarch’s most loyal dog. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find you a better man. ”
Zhang Chunhua said,”he is more interesting than Shen lang.” You asked me to provoke him, and now the consequences are here. I’m afraid that even if I get married in the future, I won’t be able to help myself from having an affair with him.”
Zhang Ye’s eyes twitched.
If his son had said such words, he would have been beaten to death 800 times.
It was not that Zhang Chunhua had never read books on women’s training, but it was precisely because she was so good at it that she could see through the author’s thoughts behind the scenes, which was why she was so unruly.
Zhang Ji’s brows were still furrowed.
Zhang Chunhua could not help but ask, ” Father, do you really care about Shen Lang’s life? ”
Zhang Ye shook his head. Although he loved talents, he had not gone to that extent.
Shen Lang’s performance tonight is problematic. Zhang Ye said.
Zhang Chunhua was taken aback. there was nothing wrong with his performance. His last poem was filled with his true feelings of despair and desolation.
Zhang Ye said,”there’s nothing wrong with this poem. It’s just another detail. It reflects the heart and does not feel despair.” [ 1 ]
“Deng Xian?” Zhang Chunhua thought for a while.
Zhang Ye said,”that’s right, Shen lang was too enthusiastic when he saved Deng Xian.” Would a person in a desperate situation who was about to die have the mood to save others?”
“Could it be that Shen lang is particularly righteous?” Zhang Chunhua asked.
Zhang Ye shook his head and said,”do you think Shen lang is that kind of person?””
Zhang Chunhua thought for a while and shook her head. “No, he’s a scumbag.”
Zhang Ye said,”this Deng Xian is just someone who has published a book for him. There’s no relationship between friends.” When Deng Xian was in danger, Shen lang instinctively came to his rescue. He was extremely sharp and decisive. when a person is in a desperate situation, his heart will be dark and his senses will be numb. This is human nature and his spiritual self-protection. He doesn’t care about the life and death of insignificant people. Therefore, Shen Lang’s behavior is abnormal.
Zhang Ye’s words couldn’t be more correct.
Zhang Chunhua liked Shen lang. However, if her father, Zhang San, was in a desperate situation, would she still have the mood to flirt with Shen lang?
Without a doubt, he would not.
there’s no more suspense in the fight for the Jinshan Island, ” Zhang Chunhua said. the Jin family will definitely lose in the three rounds of the martial arts competition. There’s no doubt about that.
Zhang Ye nodded his head.
Some things couldn’t be reversed by talent.
For example, the three battles between the Jin and Tang family.
Even if the sun rose from the West, the Jin clan would still be defeated.
perhaps Shen lang has already thought of a way out, ” Zhang Chunhua said. the way out after the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu is defeated.
That was a possibility.
“If that happens, will father let him live?” Zhang Chunhua asked.
Zhang Ji shook his head. we’ll talk about it when the time comes. I’m just the king’s Lackey. If the king wants me to kill, I’ll kill.
......
After he returned home, Shen lang frowned.
“Shen lang, if you’re trying to hide the fact that you’re fooling around with Zhang Chunhua, there’s no need,” Mu Lan said.
Eh?
Shen lang quickly raised his head and said in shock, ” “Jin Mulan, you followed me?”
However, half a second later, he immediately changed his words. “Wifey, you’re worried about my safety, so you’ve been secretly protecting me. Yingluo, you’re so good to me, I’m so touched.”
Look, they had the same meaning, but they could say two different sentences.
One path of life, one path of death.
Mulan came to Shen lang and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Mulan had never taken the initiative before.
However, Shen Lang’s hair stood on end.
This scene was familiar, as if it had just happened a few hours ago.
Zhang Chunhua had done the exact same thing.
Therefore, Shen lang did not dare to move at all.
husband, I can understand that men occasionally go out and play around. As long as their hearts are at home and their minds don’t cheat, it’s not considered cheating. Mulan said.
These were the words that Shen lang had said before.
There was no solution to the crisis in front of him. No matter what Shen lang said, he would be wrong.
Therefore, at this time, he had to use the soul diversion technique.
“Wifey, I made a mistake today.” Shen lang said seriously.
“What?” Mulan said.
Shen lang said, ” Zhang San has always been testing me. He sent Zhang Chunhua first and then asked me to compose a poem. I did not make any mistakes in my responses. The only mistake I made was that Zhang San noticed a flaw.
This statement not only explained the difficulties of fooling around with Zhang Chunhua, but also changed the topic.
Mulan was not someone who would put private matters over Public Affairs, so she immediately said seriously, ” “What flaw?”
Shen lang said, ” I was too enthusiastic when I saved Deng Xian. Would a person in a desperate situation have the time to save someone who doesn’t want to do it? ” It’s human nature to protect ourselves first and then save others. We can’t even protect ourselves when a clay Bodhisattva crosses the river, so why would we care about the life and death of others?”
you? ” Mulan frowned and suddenly said, ” if I can’t even save myself, I will save you first.
Shen lang said gently, ” me too. In our hearts, each other is more important than us. No one can replace you in my heart.
but, ” Mulan said, ” there is more than one teacup for each teapot, right? ”
“Fallacy, fallacy,” Shen lang said.
Then, he swept the three teacups on the table to the ground and broke them, leaving only one.
“Wifey, my body is weak and I’ve already done my best to deal with you. How can I have the energy to provoke other people?” “Wife, you are overthinking, overthinking,” Shen lang said gently.
Seeing how her husband had slandered himself to such an extent in order to survive, Mulan could not help but laugh.
“I hate Yingluo,” Mulan continued seriously, ” “Husband, Zhang Ji has seen through some of my flaws. Is it serious?”
Shen lang said, ” it’s okay. However, Jian Jia still has to make the necessary arrangements just in case. I really hope that no one will be hurt by me.
......
Time flowed like water, time flew by.
The days where he couldn’t act tough passed by quickly.
Four days had passed.
The next day, the battle for the Golden Mountain Island would officially begin.
The third Battle between the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu and the palace of the Earl of Jinhai had officially begun!
To ensure absolute fairness, the competition was held in a third party location.
Nujiang hunting ground!
......
In the Zhang family’s old residence.
The group of people argued until their faces turned red, and they slammed the table and smashed the cups.
There was a map on the table. It showed the fief of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu and the gazing Cliff Island.
The mines, smelters, salt fields, horse farms, mulberry fields, fortresses, big and small, manors, and so on were all clearly marked on the map.
From this map, it could be seen how deep the foundation of a hundred-year-old noble was.
It was as if some companies were making losses and immediately turned their losses into profits by selling a building, and they still had dozens of such buildings.
But now, these assets had become food on the plate of the powerful.
Yin Yuanhui, the count of Jin hai, the count of Jing an, the new political party, the mansion of The Viscount of Lanshan, the mansion of the count of zhenbei, and even the Pirate King Qiu Tianwei had come to share the spoils.
The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu had yet to collapse, but in everyone’s eyes, it was already a corpse that was waiting to be slaughtered.
“The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu owes us an astronomical debt, and they used the gazing Cliff Island as collateral. So I don’t care who the salt fields and mines on moon Cliff Island go to in the end, but half of the profits will go to the hidden origins Guild.”
also, the yinyuan Association also has the right to auction the antique paintings and calligraphy in the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
” this time, my tang clan is the main force in exterminating the palace of the earl of xuanwu. we should get the biggest share. i will fight with whoever dares to fight with me for the mines of the palace of the earl of xuanwu. ”
the Jin family still owes our raging tide city money, and my Qiu family wants half of the salt pan on moon Cliff Island. Otherwise, no one will be able to set sail safely.
“In order to destroy the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, the palace of the Earl of Jing ‘an has suffered hundreds of casualties. Our son-in-law, Lin Zhuo, has also lost his life on the battlefield. if someone wants me to get nothing, i will remember you.”
” i don’t want anything but the jin family’s 10000 mu of mulberry fields. i’m not greedy at all. you won’t fight with me over these 10000 mu of mulberry fields, will you? ”
The scene in front of him was truly a chaotic dance of demons.
And it looked very familiar.
Just like China in the early 20th century, those powers greedily divided the interests of our nation and country.
Back then, China had its own government and sovereignty.
At this moment, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu had not been destroyed yet. However, in everyone’s eyes, it was already like a skeleton in a grave.
After the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was destroyed, the one who benefited the most was, of course, the king.
More than a thousand square kilometers of fief would belong to the monarch directly.
However, if the monarch ate the meat, the people under him would also have to drink the soup. Otherwise, who would fight with him in the future?
In this Feast of Sharing the spoils, the one who showed the least desire was Zhang Ji.
He didn’t want anything.
Moreover, he could not ask for anything.
Because he was the host.
He only wanted the future, the position of Governor in Yan Zhou.
Zhang Jin and Chi Yu’s marriage had already become a foregone conclusion. They only had to wait for the right time to announce it.
The Chi family’s money could also be transferred at any time.
Yin Yuan Association’s political broker also started to lobby.
It had to be said that everything became much simpler after the marriage with the yin Yuan Association.
Many people who would have obstructed Zhang Ji’s Ascension had also given up.
He had spent less than half of his original plan of 100000 gold coins.
As long as the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was destroyed, Zhang Ji would be promoted to governor of Yanzhou and reach the peak of his life.
........................
It was night time!
Tomorrow, the final battle would begin.
Even though she was confident that she would win, she still felt nervous.
Before this, she was very strong-willed.
However, ever since she married Shen lang, she felt that she had become stronger but also more fragile.
The more love a person gave, the stronger they would become to protect others.
But at the same time, they were also more fragile because they would be worried.
Mulan was extremely nervous and afraid.
Jin mucong was even more nervous and scared. He was still copying the homework.
Even though he had 19 policy papers and 150 poems by heart, there were 20 more poems.
In the past two months, he had copied it dozens of times.
However, he was still afraid that he would forget, so he continued to copy desperately.
It had been almost a month since he had done that.
“Fatty, go to sleep.”
“Brother-in-law, I’m scared,” Jin mucong said with a trembling voice.
“What are you afraid of?” Shen lang asked.
“I’m afraid that I’ll lose to Tang Yun and ruin my family’s fate,” Jin mucong said.
Shen lang said, ” you think too much. It’s normal for you to lose. It would be weird if you won. I don’t have much hope for you. However, you’re idle and you’re idle.”
Jin mucong’s temples bulged.
don’t think too much, ” Shen lang said. sleep early.
......
Mulan was very nervous because the first battle tomorrow would be between her and Tang Yan.
“Husband, what do you think we should do if Tang Yan uses another sword technique?”
“What if Tang Yan’s meteoric sword technique is different from what we have imagined?”
“What if I make a mistake in the duel and lose to Tang Yan?”
if I lose, the competition for the gold Mountain Island will be over. Our family will be finished.
Shen lang carried his wife in his arms, and Mulan gradually calmed down.
“Husband, everything is under your control, right?”
“No matter what happens, you have a way, so our family will win, right?”
Woman, your name is weakness.
Shen lang nodded and said,”yes!” In the heavens and on the earth, in the four Seas and eight wastelands, only I am undefeatable! We’ll go kill them tomorrow.”
“Destroy them!” Mulan said.
......
The next day!
The 200 cavalrymen from the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu escorted Shen lang, Jin Zhuo, Mulan, and Jin mucong out of the palace of the Earl.
They headed to the Nujiang hunting ground.
The battle for the Golden Mountain Island had officially begun!
The three battles that would decide the fate of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu had officially begun!
The curtains were lifted!
......
