Chapter 139: A secret killer move that subverts all three views
Translator: 549690339
Nujiang hunting ground, on the other side of the residence, Jin Haibo’s station.
The atmosphere was oppressive and heavy.
In the first battle of the day, Jin Mulan’s victory could be said to have given them a head-on blow. They were a little dizzy.
“Aren’t there two more matches? Young master Tang Yun will definitely win against that useless Jin mucong.”
Everyone nodded. If they lost this battle again, the entire world would be completely overturned.
Flower lover against trash, he could win with his toes.
“So the key is tomorrow’s battle.”
“Jin Hai Bo, are you confident in the military war?” Governor Zhu Rong asked.
Tang Lun, the Earl of Jin hai, said, ” there is. Because the quality of our iron ore is higher, the iron that we forge is purer and tougher. Thus, be it armor or weapons, they are far superior to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
“The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu’s own iron is not good enough. You can buy the best iron from outside and use it to forge armor and weapons,” someone said.
“The metal of my family’s Jinshan Island is the best,” said Tang Lun, Jin Hai Bo.
These words were not false.
A large portion of the iron produced by the palace of the Earl of Jinhai was exclusively supplied to the military of Yue country.
One-fifth of the weapons and armor of the entire Yue Army came from the iron workshop of the palace of the Earl of Jinhai.
Therefore, even though the Earl of Jinhai’s land was smaller, he had 3000 private troops and his family was more prosperous.
Tang Lun, count of Jin hai, did not say anything.
The best iron in his family’s Smithy was reserved for his own use.
Not only that, but his family had also developed a new formula last year that could increase the toughness of iron by about 10%.
This way, the weapons forged would be sharper, and the armor would be stronger.
Their weapons and equipment were already two levels higher than the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu’s. Now, they were three levels higher.
Therefore, it would be difficult to not win this battle.
“My family will definitely win the military battle.” “So please don’t worry, Governor,” said Jin Hai Bo.
They were all in the same boat. If the palace of the Earl of Jinhai lost, they would suffer heavy losses.
“No, it’s not that simple,” Zhang Ye said, shaking his head.
After a slight hesitation, Tang Lun, the count of Jin hai, said to Zhang Ye,”Lord Governor, please follow me.”
......
Next.
Tang Lun, count of Jin hai, brought Zhang Ji to a warehouse.
There were a few hundred Warriors guarding the palace of the Earl of Jinhai.
There were more than 100 boxes in the warehouse.
Tang Lun, the count of Jin hai, opened a box and took out a battle sword, which was still oily.
“Lord Governor, look at this blade.” Tang Lun said.
Zhang Ji took it and looked at it carefully.
He gently stroked the blade with his hand and felt it carefully.
this saber is better than the one you had at home. It’s even better than the saber of the most elite army of Yue country. Zhang Ye said,”good blade, it’s definitely a good blade!”
“This is a new battle blade that my family forged with a new formula. It’s about ten percent tougher than the best iron we had before,” Tang Lun said.
“Bring it up,”
A moment later, a warrior from the family brought over a saber.
“This is the battle saber of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu. Governor, please take a look.” “This is already their best knife,” Jin Hai Bo said.
Zhang Ji took a look and immediately noticed the difference between the two sabers.
The sabers from the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu were not made of pure metal and had different colors.
Zhang Ji let the two sabers slash at each other.
“Dang!”
Because he didn’t hold back.
The battle saber of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu broke into two.
And the battle blade of the palace of the Earl of Jinhai only had a hole.
As expected, the difference was huge.
“Governor Zhang, please use my family’s knife to cut the armor of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu,” Tang Lun, the Earl of Jinhai, said.
Zhang che picked up his sword and slashed at the wooden giant’s armor.
“Ka-Chak, ka-Chak!”
It directly split open a crack.
The grade of the armor was also ordinary. Not only was it split open, but there were also traces of cracks, making it very fragile.
“The elite warriors of our two families are equally matched, but our family’s weapons and equipment are far superior, so we will win this battle without a doubt,” said Tang Lun.
To be honest, the quality of the new iron forged by the palace of the Earl of Jinhai was already quite high.
However, there was still a clear difference compared to the steel Forged by Shen Lang’s new formula. Moreover, the new weapon designed by Shen lang had gone through two processes of quenching and tempering, so its sharpness and toughness had been greatly improved.
Therefore, the weapons and equipment of both sides could not be mentioned in the same breath.
“Lord Governor, can you be at ease now?”
He should have been able to rest assured.
However, Zhang sa thought of Shen Lang’s face, especially the way he looked at his daughter.
Was this what a person in despair should be like?
No, he was obviously very confident.
Shen lang was extremely cunning. He was like a fox and definitely not as simple as he seemed.
“Jin Haibo has indeed made ample preparations.” Zhang Ye said.
“In the competition for the Jinshan Island, my family won and lost in the individual competition, but we have never lost in the military battle.”
“Tang Yan has never lost before,” Zhang Ye said.
Jin Hai Bo said,”after all, swordsmanship is a one-on-one duel. Winning or losing is decided instantly, and there is still a certain chance.” In a military war, the strength of the whole is the key. The crushing power of armor and weapons is real, so tomorrow’s war will be won without a doubt. You don’t have to worry, Mayor.”
Zhang Ye shook his head. no, we definitely can’t let our guard down. We have to be absolutely safe!
“Go and find the count of Jing ‘an and the Marquis of Zhenyuan’s second son. Borrow some people from them. Borrow some experts to sneak into your Army and participate in tomorrow’s battle.”
“Borrowing people at this time?” Tang Lun asked in surprise. The price to pay will be huge.”
Zhang Ye asked,”how big can it be?” What’s a little price compared to the outcome of the gold Mountain Island?”
Although the private army of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was elite, there was no lack of experts.
However, the number of troops was too small. The Marquis of Zhenyuan commanded nearly 100000 troops, while the count of Jing an commanded tens of thousands.
Therefore, the number of experts in the Army far exceeded that of the two private armies.
Count of Jin hai, Tang Lun, was a little hesitant. In his opinion, this battle was bound to be won, and the cost of temporarily borrowing an expert was too high.
This astronomical amount of profit was likely to be wasted.
He was a little reluctant.
“Jin Hai Bo, don’t make a mistake,” Zhang Ye angrily rebuked. Invite young master Nangong ping and the count of Jing an over. I’ll ask them to lend it to me. ”
Jin Haibo hesitated for a while, then nodded, ” “We’ll do as Lord Governor says.”
“I need to report this to uncle ning Qi,” Zhang Ye said.
“Is this necessary?” Jin Hai Bo asked.
......
There was a Castle on the top of the mountain in the Nu River hunting ground. Of course, it belonged to the three most distinguished adjudicators.
Within the castle.
Uncle Wang, Ning Qi, couldn’t help but frown after hearing Zhang Ji’s report.
“Zhang Nujiang, you should not have told me about this.”
“I wouldn’t dare to hide it,” Zhang Ye said.
“I’m 78 this year. I don’t want to lose my chastity,” ning Qi said.
“Although it’s not a glorious move, it’s not considered cheating either,” Zhang Ye said.”The previous competition for the Jinshan Island had its own rules. Forty years ago, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu borrowed Warriors from other nobles to participate in the war. However, due to the difference in equipment, they still lost.”
“Wait a moment,” ning Qi said after thinking for a while.
“Yes,” Zhang Ye replied.
......
Ning Qi’s Royal uncle went to find suo Xuan and the mighty Duke, Bian Xiao.
Suo Xuan was silent.
Bian Xiao frowned.
The two of them did not say a word.
After a while, ning Qi’s Royal uncle found Zhang San again.
“Zhang Nujiang,”
“Yes.”
“we still need to be fair and just. since the earl of jinhai can lend people, then the earl of xuanwu can do the same,” said ning qi.
“Yes!” Zhang Ye said.
of course, we have to stick to the will of the monarch, ” uncle ning Qi said. but fairness and justice are the absolute prerequisites. Otherwise, even if we win, it will damage the monarch’s prestige. One is one, two is two. Don’t even think that we’ll play favoritism in the process of the ruling.”
“I wouldn’t dare.” Zhang Ye knelt down.
Ning Qi said,”especially in the literary battle, the deciding of the outcome is filled with subjectivity.” So, don’t even think that we’ll show you any favoritism. These two articles are going to be published to the world, we can’t lose our integrity.”
Zhang Ji knelt down again and said,”I wouldn’t dare.” When Tang Yun and Jin mucong are done writing, they will randomly select two people to copy their essays and poems. Then, their names will be completely sealed. There is no possibility of fraud.”
“That’s good!”
In everyone’s opinion, Tang Yun and Jin mucong could win the Wen battle with their eyes closed. The article written by Tan Hua lang with his toes could kill Jin mucong in seconds. Was there any need to cheat?
“Go on.” Ning Qi’s Royal uncle waved his hand.
........................
Next, under Zhang Ye’s lead.
The palace of the Earl of Jinhai used the price of five ships to borrow twenty top masters from the Marquis of Zhenyuan.
At the cost of 2000 mu of land, he borrowed 10 top-notch military experts from the palace of the Earl of Jing ‘an.
He would definitely demand an exorbitant price!
However, these benefits would not be given by Tang Lun himself. They would be transferred from the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu’s assets in the future.
The Jin family had not been exterminated yet.
This was equivalent to Zhang Ji and Tang Lun using uncle Xuanwu’s assets to buy an expert to destroy uncle Xuanwu himself.
This world was full of fantasy.
However, what was even more magical was yet to come.
Jin Hai Bo and Zhang Ji welcomed a mysterious uninvited guest.
“I have ten new talents who want to enter the palace of the Earl of Jinhai to train.”
It was su jianting, the son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan.
He was asking for an astronomical amount of benefits and then lending the master to Jin Hai Bo.
However, he, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, su jianting, took the initiative to lend out the expert and did not ask for anything in return.
Were there so many good people in this world?
Even Jin Haibo was a little stunned.
Zhang Ye was also stunned.
Was the world that ridiculous?
The Marquis of Zhenyuan was the leader of the old generation of nobles, and he was the in-law of the count of Xuanwu.
You didn’t help at the critical moment, but not only did you hit him when he was down, you even gave him a fatal blow?
Instead of lending the experts to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, you lent them to his enemies?
Zhang Ji had seen many shameless people, but someone as shameless as the Marquis Zhenyuan’s residence?
It really refreshed his understanding of human nature.
Zhang Ye really wanted to ask, why?
However, he was an old and cunning politician, so he naturally wouldn’t ask. Instead, he bowed and said, ” I will never forget the Marquis Zhenyuan’s contribution to the new governance. I will definitely report it to the monarch in the future.
Su jianting smiled and left.
My su clan’s actions are bold and unconstrained, so why is there a need to explain to anyone?
It was early in the morning!
Dozens of military experts entered the Nu River hunting ground without a sound.
They had changed into the full set of armor from the palace of the Earl of Jinhai, only revealing their eyes.
He had easily become a warrior of the palace of the Earl of Jinhai.
The Earl of Jing ‘an’s residence sent out an expert leader, who was still his adopted son, Wu Yuanbao.
..................
The next morning.
The weather wasn’t too good, and the sky was filled with morning clouds.
The morning glow didn’t leave the house, but the sunset glow traveled a thousand miles.
This meant that it might rain today.
Uncle Wang, Ning Qi, found the two sides of the battle of Jinshan Island.
“Black Tortoise, Jinhai, the weather today isn’t very good. I’m afraid it’ll rain in the afternoon. The Wen battle would be held indoors, so it would be better to move it to the afternoon. How about the military battle be held outdoors and moved to the morning?”
The rain did not delay the battle between the two armies.
However, it would delay the viewing.
In particular, every audience member was rich and powerful, so it would be bad if they were caught in the rain.
Both uncle Black Tortoise and uncle Jin hai bowed and said, ” “As uncle Wang commands.”
“Then it’s decided. The military battle in the morning and the Civil battle in the afternoon. You two can go and prepare now,” ning Qi said.
This wasn’t strange, as it had been a practice before.
When uncle Black Tortoise was about to leave, ning Qi’s Royal uncle suddenly said, ” “Black Tortoise, do you have any close friends in this hunting ground?”
After asking, without waiting for uncle Black Tortoise to reply, ning Qi left.
After they returned to their residence, uncle Black Tortoise repeated what ning Qi and Royal uncle said to Shen lang.
Shen lang instantly understood.
“Ning Qi, Royal uncle wants you to borrow Masters from other noble families.”
Uncle Black Tortoise frowned and said, ” “I’ll try.”
..................
Mulan was changing her clothes when Shen lang rushed in.
Then, he was a little stunned.
What Zhang Chunhua, what Chi Yu, what Xu Qianqian, none of them are as beautiful as my wife.
“Annoying spirit, don’t delay me from changing my clothes.” Mulan said.
There was a gorgeous dress with a mysterious and luxurious purple color beside it. It was dyed with Shen Lang’s new formula.
It was embroidered with silver silk.
Mulan was not as exaggerated as Shen lang, who liked to use golden threads.
She felt that the silver wire was more low-key and mysterious.
“Baby, don’t change it.” Shen lang said.
Mulan did not like to wear such a gorgeous dress.
But now she felt the need to wear it, because she was also an audience member today, and she had to stand beside her husband.
She had to outshine all the other pretty girls and outshine all the other sluts.
So that this scumbag husband could clearly compare and see who was more beautiful?
You’re a scumbag. You’re keeping such a beautiful lady by your side and even going outside to steal food. You’re so blind. Be careful, I’ll pull out your eyelashes.
“You probably need to change into your armor and participate in the battle,” Shen lang said.
“Husband, according to the rules, I can’t go up, because I’ve already participated in the first battle,” Mulan said.
this rule has been broken. There’s no need to keep it, ” Shen lang said.
Mulan was very sad.
It was rare for her to attend such a big event. She really wanted to wear a beautiful dress and sit next to her husband.
They wanted everyone to see that they were a match made in heaven.
then you’re not allowed to look at any other woman today, and you’re even more forbidden from making eyes at that Sly Fox, Zhang Chunhua. Mulan said.
“I won’t,” Shen lang said gently as he bit his wife’s tender neck.
Besides, Zhang Chunhua would not be making any eye contact with him today.
The two of them were on different sides.
However, when Shen lang was about to lose, Zhang Chunhua would use all her tricks to seduce him.
However, everything would change when Shen lang was about to win.
“Then you can leave, I want to change my clothes.”
When Mulan fought, she always wore tight-fitting leather clothes.
It wasn’t for the sake of looking good, nor was it for the sake of showing off one’s figure. It was for the sake of unleashing one’s combat strength to the extreme.
This kind of tight-fitting leather suit was full of oppression and could force out power.
It was like a brand-new swimming suit in the new era. Every contestant with a new swimsuit on the boat had a clear improvement in their performance.
After putting on the tight-fitting snakeskin battle suit and wearing a suit of armor on the outside, there was absolutely no possibility of him being exposed.
However, it was very difficult to wear this tight-fitting snakeskin battle suit, and there couldn’t be any clothes inside.
Every time he took it off, it felt like a snake shedding its skin.
“Wife, let me help you put it on,” Shen lang said.
“No,” Mulan said.
“Why?” Shen lang was unhappy.
“If my legs go weak, how am I supposed to fight later?”
This answer made Shen lang leave in satisfaction.
Mulan realized that she was gradually able to grasp her husband’s pulse.
In addition to violence, her other husband-taming skills had also gradually improved.
......
After a while.
Uncle Black Tortoise returned with a face full of anger.
He didn’t manage to borrow a single expert.
The old nobles expressed their helplessness.
Some said that they didn’t bring any experts with them, while others said that their trusted Warriors had fallen ill due to the climate.
The meaning was clear.
Uncle Black Tortoise, all of us truly sympathize with you. Our hearts are with you.
But,
Please don’t drag us down with you.
Whoever dares to lend you a master today will be on the monarch’s blacklist tomorrow. I’m afraid the next knife of the new policy will be on our heads.
“If the lips die, the teeth will grow cold. Don’t they understand such a simple logic?” Uncle Black Tortoise was furious.
of course they know, ” Shen lang said. it’s not that they’re not smart. Jian Jia is too smart.
“Each family has to sweep the snow in front of their own door, people can only rely on themselves. Father-in-law, after we win, the fire of the new policy will burn on their heads.”
“When that time comes, I’ll definitely hit them while they’re down, and cut off a few pieces of flesh from them.”
father-in-law, just you wait. It won’t be long before these people will kneel in front of you and beg for mercy. They will cry out that if the lips die, the teeth will grow cold.
when that time comes, you must not forget to stomp on their heads.
What declaration of righteousness, what unity, what mutual help?
It didn’t exist!
The betrayal of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the main culprit, had caused the entire Alliance of the old aristocratic families to completely collapse.
......
Two hours later!
The second Battle of the competition for the Golden Mountain Island, the military battle, had officially begun!
......
[ note: I’ll write the third chapter without stopping after the second chapter is sent. I’ll try my best to write it by 11 O ‘clock. I’m begging for your support! ]
