Chapter 176: Chou Xiao came to die
Translator: 549690339
The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
The eunuch arrogantly stood outside and waited.
When the middle gate of the palace of the Earl opened, the Earl of Xuanwu led his entire family to welcome them.
However, the middle door was open.
However, only two people walked out.
One of them was su Peipei, the wife of the Earl of Xuanwu. What was she wearing?
A combat outfit?
The other person was Jin mucong, who looked like he had lost his soul. His lips and hands were covered in black ink.
He had long heard that Jin mucong, the son of the Earl of Xuanwu, was useless, but he was not a fool.
However, this fatty in front of him was clearly a fool with a problem with his brain.
Jin mucong was too focused on his writing. When he was thinking, he instinctively licked his pen, but his mouth was full of ink.
When he wiped his hands, they were all black.
The great eunuch said in a cold voice,”is the Earl of Xuanwu looking down on us by coming here?” This was the emperor’s imperial edict. Where was the count of Black Tortoise? Why aren’t you here to receive the decree?”
“My husband is not here,” su Peipei said.
She should have said ” husband “, but su Peipei just didn’t like this kind of literary word.
“Where did he go?” the great eunuch asked. Let him receive the decree.”
“He went to gazing Cliff Island,” su Peipei said.
The Grand eunuch’s eyes trembled, and a glint of greed flashed in them.
It wasn’t simple. Even he had heard of the gazing Cliff Island.
It could be seen that the Jin family’s discovery of a huge gold mine had spread like wildfire. Even the palace knew about it.
But even if he knew, there was nothing he could do.
This was the property of a vassal. As the monarch, he could not possibly snatch it, right? that would be too unsightly.
Since uncle Black Tortoise was not around, the eunuch did not enter the castle.
It was not because they were alone. Su Peipei was so beautiful, but he had nothing to do with her.
It was because the host was not around, so the standard of reception was not high enough, and it was meaningless to enter the castle.
the king has decreed that the Crown Prince of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, Jin mucong, is to kneel and welcome him.
Fat otaku’s soul was flying, he was thinking about the plot. I’m someone who’s going to become a great writer, so don’t disturb me for other matters.
What was a genius?
‘I, Jin mucong, spend all my time on thinking.’ Ever since I started writing my novel, I’ve even given up on the happiest moments of my life. The happiest thing in the world was to write.
“Crown Prince Jin mucong, please accept the decree.” “Your Royal Highness, are you unhappy with our family?” the eunuch asked in a high-pitched voice.
Jin mucong finally came to his senses and raised his head. “Ah? What? Has it ended?”
The chief eunuch was about to get angry, but seeing fat otaku’s stupid look, he was helpless.
Why am I competing with an idiot? I’m losing face instead.
“Crown Prince Jin mucong, please accept the decree.”
Jin mucong was so stunned that he almost peed his pants.
A decree for me?
I, Jin mucong, am air.
I’m just air in front of my parents, and even more so in front of the king.
Why did the king give me a decree? I’m so scared.
Then, he looked around.
Where’s brother-in-law? Where was he? What should I do now?
“Kneel down.” Su Peipei said.
Jin mucong immediately knelt down.
order Jin mucong, the Crown Prince of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, to study at the Imperial College. He must be there within three days. There must be no delay! the high eunuch said.
He didn’t say anything either.
In this world, only the Emperor of the great Yan Empire had the right to use the word “Emperor” in the Imperial edict.
However, the Monarchs of many countries would also use it, but they would only use it when it came to important imperial edicts to show their solemness.
The Emperor, ning yuanxian, had given the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu a few imperial edicts, but none of them had the word ” Qin ” in them. He had fully expressed his attitude.
After hearing this decree, the Countess, su Peipei, was stunned.
Jin mucong was at a loss.
The king wants me to study in the Imperial College? Moreover, they had to leave three days later.
W-what was the meaning of this?
What should I do?
Brother-in-law, where are you? ”
“Receive the decree.” The chief eunuch said indifferently.
Jin mucong stepped forward and accepted the decree.
“Crown Prince, get ready. We’ll enter the capital in three days.” The high eunuch said.
“What?” Jin mucong asked. Should I go with you?”
“I’ve personally escorted the Crown Prince into the capital. Is there anything that the Crown Prince is not satisfied with?” the high eunuch said.
“No, no,” Jin mucong shook his head.
Then, the eunuch left.
“I’ll wait at the city Lord’s mansion of Xuanwu city,”
After the great eunuch left, Jin mucong said in fear, ” “Mother, what should I do? I don’t want to go, I don’t want to leave home, I don’t want to leave my parents and brother-in-law.”
Fat otaku had never left home since he was young.
The Countess, su Peipei, said in a rare gentle tone, ” don’t worry, your brother-in-law will be back soon. He will definitely have a way.
..................
At the dock of Yangwu County.
“Baby, I’ve fooled around with other women.”
When Mulan heard Shen Lang’s words, her entire body froze and she was completely stunned.
Shen lang quickly hugged her and said gently, ” “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry”
Shen lang usually had a glib tongue, but at that moment, he could only say sorry and nothing else.
On the other hand, Mulan could not say a word.
let’s go, ” Huang Feng said. otherwise, we’ll attract the attention of people with ulterior motives.
Then, Mulan left the dock like a zombie.
She could not ride a horse anymore.
The yellow Phoenix was still driving the carriage, and Mulan and Shen lang were both in the carriage.
Shen lang hugged his wife gently and caressed her back. He kissed her eyes, nose, and ears.
“Baby, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
After a long while.
Only then did the tears on Mulan’s face flow.
Then, she cried out.
Huang Feng heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the cry.
It’s good to cry.
However, this cry made her heart palpitate.
There’s no good man in this world. I’ll definitely not get married in the future. Definitely not.
Mulan could not stop her tears and crying.
Mulan kept on crying.
she cried until she was out of breath, and her eyes were completely red and swollen.
shen lang was heartbroken.
He really wanted his wife to beat him up, but he didn’t want Mulan to cry so sadly.
“Ahoho ahoho”
finally, mulan’s fist landed on shen lang’s back.
However, the force was getting weaker and weaker, so it didn’t hurt at all.
Shen lang said, ” my dear, kill me. Kill me. Speak. Can you speak? ”
Mulan raised her head and cried, ” “Who is that woman? It’s not Xu Wanwan, right?”
“It’s Chou Yao ‘er,” Shen lang said.
you didn’t take the initiative, ” Mulan said. she must have forced you, right? ”
Shen lang was stunned. Even though that was the truth, he did not have the face to nod and agree.
“This must be it, this must be it.” As Jin Mulan cried, she gritted her teeth and said, ” “I’m going to kill her, Chou Yao ‘er. I’m going to kill her. She must’ve forced you. I don’t believe that you’d do anything to let me down.”
Now, Shen lang finally knew why the wife would not hit the husband when the man had an affair but would always tear apart the mistress.
Then, Jin Mulan held Shen Lang’s face and stared at him for a long time.
She stared into his eyes.
She firmly believed that she and her husband were in love.
She firmly believed that her husband loved her the most. She wanted to see this from his eyes.
If he couldn’t see it, then everything would be over.
But she saw it.
Shen Lang’s eyes were filled with deep affection, guilt, and even some pain.
This was not acting, it was real. No words could describe Shen Lang’s feelings for Mulan.
husband, all of this is Chou Yao ‘er’s fault. You’re also a victim. You’re innocent, right? ” Mulan said as she cried.
Meanwhile, Huang Feng, who was driving the carriage outside, felt her scalp go numb.
I really want to die now.
There was a scumbag who had an affair, but not only did her wife not hit him, she even took the initiative to comfort him.
My three views have been subverted.
Should I believe in love or not?
Mulan checked on Shen Lang’s wounds.
“Does it hurt?” Mulan said gently.
“I was drugged, but I didn’t feel any pain,” Shen lang said.
Mulan gritted her teeth. Chou Yao ‘er, I will definitely kill you. I swear, I will definitely kill you.
I know that my martial arts are not as good as yours, but from today on, I will practice martial arts like crazy.
One day, my martial arts will surpass yours and I’ll kill you.
I wanted to take revenge for my husband, but you actually injured him like this.
“Husband, forget about this matter. We’ll all forget about this matter.”
and you’re a man, she’s a woman. In the end, we’re the ones who took advantage of her.
“Don’t have any knots in your heart in the future. Don’t have any grudges, and don’t have any psychological shadows.”
“We still have a long way to go.”
“husband, why are you crying?”
Mulan could not help but wipe Shen Lang’s tears.
However, the more she wiped, the more Shen lang cried.
And so, Mulan started crying again.
Wife, don’t be like this, you’re making me look worse.
Shen lang could never have imagined that things would develop to this stage.
Mulan actually felt that he had suffered a huge blow and was afraid that he would have a psychological trauma, so she came to comfort him.
Then, the couple cried together.
Shen lang was crying because of Mulan’s kindness and guilt.
mulan was crying because of her husband’s terrible experience.
............
Mulan and Shen lang did not return home immediately.
Moreover, he stayed outside for a night. This way, Shen lang would not look so pathetic and his mother would not worry.
Of course, she sent someone home to tell her mother and Jin mucong that Shen lang was fine.
Shen lang and Mulan returned to the palace of the Earl after a day.
At that moment, Shen lang had already returned to his original carefree state.
It was as if nothing had happened in raging tide city, and the wounds on his body were also covered with his clothes.
Mulan’s expression was a little unnatural, but her attitude towards Shen lang was gentler and more clingy.
After returning home.
Shen lang immediately received a shocking piece of news.
The king had ordered Jin mucong to study at the Imperial College?
What a joke!
Previously, when the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was about to be annihilated, the fifth Prince Ning Zheng knelt outside for a day and a night before the monarch reluctantly agreed to let Jin mucong study at the Imperial College. This was considered to leave a root for the Jin family.
However, even though he had agreed to it, he had never fulfilled it.
More than half a month had passed, but the emperor’s decree had yet to be issued.
The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu had just paid off their debts and discovered a huge gold mine. Seeing that the situation was in full swing, your decree was already passed down.
If he recruited Jin mucong to study at the Imperial College at this time, wouldn’t he be treated as a hostage?
However, if Jin mucong did not go, he would not go.
that was to defy the decree!
Did the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu have the ability to defy the Imperial edict?
No!
Before the strategy of ruling across the sea succeeded, the Jin family had no right to bargain with the monarch.
They also did not have the ability to resist the king.
Only after successfully seizing raging tide city and the Leizhou islands would the Jin family have the initiative.
Moreover, if Jin mucong did not go, Shen Lang’s plan would be flawed.
It’s a good book for the Crown Prince of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu to study at the Imperial College. Why don’t you go? Could it be that your family has other intentions?
It was obviously a great honor for the sons of the other old noble families to study in the capital.
That was really the case. Most of the heirs of the old aristocratic families had studied in the Imperial College before.
Why was Jin mucong not the only one?
Because the king did not like su Peipei, ever since she said that even a vicious Tiger would not eat its own Cubs, whenever something big happened to the royal family, the Jin family would directly send gifts and congratulatory letters. The king himself did not need to enter the capital.
The king doesn’t like to see you either.
Now that Jin mucong is sent to the Directorate, Won’t You Be grateful?
Shen lang narrowed his eyes and started to think of a solution.
At this moment, Jin mucong suddenly said, ” “Brother-in-law, I want to go. I want to go to the capital.”
His mother-in-law, su Peipei, was shocked and said,”no, you can’t go.” You’re so honest, and the capital is so complicated. You’ll definitely be bullied to death if you go.”
And for the past two days, fat otaku had been in a constant state of anxiety. He kept saying that he wouldn’t go to the capital and would wait for his brother-in-law to come back and save him.
At this time, the eunuch was still waiting in the city Lord’s mansion. He would enter the capital the day after tomorrow.
If Jin mucong did not go, he would be disobeying the Imperial decree.
“Mother, I have been under your protection since I was young. You have protected me too well. And brother-in-law, no matter what big things happen in the family, he always lets me sit by and listen, so that I can learn. I am a stupid person, but I am the Crown Prince of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu. I have to contribute to the family.”
it’s a critical moment for our family now. Our strategy on gazing Cliff Island has reached its climax. Brother-in-law’s trap has been laid. We’re just waiting for the enemy to come and seek death.
the raging tide city’s strategy of ‘King across the sea’ is about to begin. We can’t afford to miss anything.
only by taking down raging tide city and Leizhou archipelago can our family completely get rid of the new political crisis and truly have long-term peace and stability. For this purpose, brother-in-law is willing to take the risk to go to raging tide city, so why can’t I go to the capital?”
“I’m the Prince, I can’t just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others” labor. I don’t have any other abilities, but if I go to the Directorate now, it would be the greatest contribution to the family.”
“So, I’m going!”
brother-in-law, after we complete our strategy in raging tide city, you will definitely come to the capital and take me home, right? ”
............
In the sea around gaze Cliff Island.
The Jin family’s warships were already packed. Any ship that came within five miles of gazing Cliff Island would be warned.
If they didn’t leave, the Jin family’s warship would attack them directly.
At this moment!
Ten large pirate ships appeared and pounced towards gaze Cliff Island.
Jin Shiying led a few warships to meet them and shouted, ” this is the territory of my Jin clan. No ships are allowed to approach. Otherwise, we’ll kill you without mercy. Retreat immediately! Retreat immediately!
Immediately, a few big crossbows were opened on the Jin clan’s warship.
“Hahahahahahaha!”
A burst of wild laughter rang out.
Chou Xiao walked onto the deck.
“What kind of ship is this? Was this a warship? Isn’t this supposed to be a kid’s toy?” Chou Xiao pointed behind him and said, ” this is what you call a warship. Your Jin clan is done for. You’re even taking out a few pieces of trash to treat as treasures.
He was not wrong.
The battleships of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu were nothing compared to the Pirate King.
Not only did they not have as many ships as the Pirate King, but they were also much smaller.
In short, the Jin clan was nothing compared to Qiu Tianwei in terms of combat power on the sea. They were not even qualified to fight.
Although there were more than 40 to 50 ships from the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu searching the sea, Chou Xiao only brought 10.
But if they really fought ...
Chou Xiao’s ten warships would definitely win, and it would be an overwhelming victory without any suspense.
It couldn’t be helped, the warships of raging tide city were specially made for sea battles, for pillaging. Not only were they heavier, but they were also much stronger and faster.
The Jin family’s warship was only used to transport goods. It was only equipped with a few large crossbows when it was needed for battle.
Because the boat was small, the crossbow was not big, and the shooting range was short, so the lethality was low.
“Prepare for battle!”
Chou Xiao roared.
Instantly, the giant crossbows on the 10 pirate ships opened up. The number of crossbows far exceeded that of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
The thousands of Pirates drew their bows and nocked arrows.
As long as Chou Xiao gave the order, he would be able to fire ten thousand arrows at the same time, bringing disaster to the Jin clan’s warships.
“I, Chou Xiao, want to land on gazing Cliff Island. Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy!”
I’m the young lord of raging tide city, the son of the Pirate King. Who dares to stop me? ”
“Those who block me will die!”
As expected, the warships of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu did not dare to stop them.
Chou Xiao’s ten pirate warships swaggered into the dock of gazing Cliff Island.
The young pirate King, Chou Xiao, jumped down and landed on the dock. He lifted his scimitar and shouted, ” “Where did I lose to? Where was Earl Jin Zhuo? Where’s the pretty boy Shen lang? Where is Jin Mulan? Come and pay your respects to the little pirate King!”
“Jin Zhuo? Shen lang? I heard that a huge gold mine was found on moon Cliff Island. Is that true? Hurry up and take me to see it! Right now, right now!”
Count Jin Zhuo appeared.
When he saw Chou Xiao, he heaved a sigh of relief.
As lang ‘er had expected.
Chou Xiao was here.
He had indeed come to die.
Not only did he come, but he also sent thousands of Pirates and more than a dozen warships.
However, were they really going to kill all 2000 Pirates? Seize all these warships?
In the end, send a few thousand heads to Qiu Tianwei?
