Chapter 194: Chapter 194-the end of Zhang Ye and Shen lang! Immortal achievements
Translator: 549690339
After a day of clamoring, raging tide city had already fallen into silence.
although they had gone through a lot of changes, the people in the city were still able to sleep peacefully.
Those who could make a living in raging tide city all had thick nerves.
Suddenly, the sharp Bell on the pier and the lighthouse rang again.
Instantly, everyone in the castle woke up with a start.
They picked up their weapons and prepared for battle.
Most of the merchants in the city couldn’t help but prick up their ears.
Whose fleet is this?
Could it be Zhang Ye?
That shouldn’t be the case!
The Jin family had already taken over the main castle. Although they only had 2000 people, even if Zhang Lin had 10000 people, they wouldn’t be able to take it down.
Moreover, where would Zhang Ye get 10000 people?
Not everyone was as perverted as Chou Yao ‘er, who was invincible in every battle.
However, the bell on the dock soon changed.
It changed from sharp and piercing to melodious and pleasant.
This meant that they were one of their own and not an enemy!
............
Black Tortoise Bo Jin Zhuo led the fleet to the raging tide City Pier.
He was really rushing with all his might, but he was still slower than Chou Tian.
It couldn’t be helped. The Jin family’s sailors weren’t familiar with these pirate warships.
Before the fleet even approached the port, both sides immediately exchanged family signals.
In that instant, uncle Black Tortoise’s entire body relaxed and he heaved a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately!
May the heavens bless us.
Shen lang was fine.
Not only that, he really took down raging tide city.
Beside him, Tang Lun was so envious that his eyes were about to pop out.
Damn it, the Jin family really took down raging tide city.
Oh my God!
This was the core of the eastern sea trade.
It was a land of gold coins.
Now, it actually belonged to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
The Jin family’s fief had expanded several times in an instant.
This achievement was almost comparable to the count of Gimli.
Of course, the count of Jin Jing had fought many wars for the king and had made countless military achievements. This achievement could not be compared.
But in terms of expanding his family’s power, Jin Zhuo had done it.
You, Jin Zhuo, are only an average person.
How could he be so strong?
Just a while ago, your family was still in a state of life and death. Now, it actually soared all of a sudden?
Was it because he had a good son-in-law?
This world was too unfair!
Shen lang immediately got out of bed and went to the dock to welcome his father-in-law.
An Zaitian, The Alchemist Taoist, was even faster than him. He could not hide his excitement at all.
In the past ten years, he had come into contact with the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu a few times, but he had never seen the Earl of Xuanwu again.
Earl Jin Zhuo walked forward and looked at Shen lang with a burning gaze.
Then, he rushed forward and hugged Shen lang.
This gave master lang a shock.
Father-in-law, you weren’t like this in the past.
You used to be so cold and old-fashioned. You’ve never been so intimate.
I’m not used to you being so intimate all of a sudden.
“My son, thank you for your hard work, Zhenzhen,” Earl Jin Zhuo said.
“Uh, it’s not hard, not hard at all,” Shen lang said.
The key was that it was really not hard.
They didn’t even fight a single battle, and Chou Yao ‘er had finished everything. He and the Warriors of the Jin family had just watched from the side from start to end, and then they had taken over raging tide city.
“AI!” “Shen lang, actually, I have daughters too. In fact, I have a few of them,” Earl Tang Lun suddenly said.
The Tang Lun after his despair became much cuter.
Shen lang looked at count of Jin hai and Tang Lun for a while and said, ” “Jin Hai Bo, you don’t hate my family anymore?”
“I’m in despair.” Tang Lun said,”but I can’t just die, so I can only pretend that I’ve let it go.”
He couldn’t let go of his hatred.
The Osman Empire once hated the British Empire, but now, didn’t Turkey kneel down and lick the British Empire’s boots?
The situation was stronger than the person.
“It’s good that you have such a mentality, very good,” Shen lang said.
Tang Lun felt that Shen lang had a hidden meaning and said, ” “Young master Shen, why don’t you make your words more clear?”
Shen lang said, ” Earl Tang Lun, you can go back now. Pack up your belongings. Dismiss the people in the family. Leave the people who should join us. Leave some seeds.
As soon as he heard this, Tang Lun’s expression changed drastically. He trembled and said, ” “You actually want to do this? Do you really want to be so cowardly?”
yes! Shen lang nodded and said, ” let’s go!
Tang Lun instantly lost all his blood.
What was the most miserable thing in this world?
In the stock market, you thought you had hit the bottom, but you didn’t expect that there was still eighteen levels of hell below.
Tang Lun felt that he had lost gold Mountain Island and all of his private army. This was already tragic enough for him.
However, there was something even worse to come.
Shen lang said, ” since you have let go of your hatred for my family, let me give you a piece of advice. Lower your stance and take the initiative. Try your best to save your family.
“You won’t live?” Tang Lun’s tears fell and he grinned.
“I can’t live.” Shen lang shook his head.
“Hahahaha, this world is indeed interesting, interesting!” Tang Lun laughed miserably. Those who kill me are not my enemies!”
Then, he bowed to Shen lang and said, ” “Thank you for telling me, young master Shen. If the Tang family doesn’t go extinct this time, I’ll definitely thank you for your kindness.”
Then, Earl Jin Zhuo sent a ship to Tang Lun and asked him to go home.
After Tang Lun boarded the ship, he returned and bowed to Shen lang, ” “My Yingying can’t live?”
“Not alive,” Shen lang said.
“Where are my family members?” Tang Lun asked.
Shen lang said,”Tang Yan is fine, but it’s safer for him to go to the sky-Sea Pavilion as soon as possible.” Of the many other sons, you can choose one to protect his life. Tell him to cut ties with his family in advance and personally expose you for colluding with the Pirates, Qiu Tianwei. Then, he’ll immediately join one of the princes “camp, or simply escape to another country.”
Count Tang Lun bowed deeply to Shen lang.
“Thank you, young master Shen, for saving my life.”
Then, he returned to the ship.
The ship left for the dock of Jinhai city.
There was nothing wrong with Tang Lun’s gratitude. Shen Lang’s words could be said to have saved the seed of the Tang family.
This drastic change.
One of the families had to fall.
Someone had to be responsible for this.
The reason why Shen lang did this was not because he sympathized with the Tang family, but because he wanted to plant a nail.
What if he could use it in the future?
Count Jin Zhuo could not help but turn around to look at count Tang Lun.
This should be the last time she would see him.
The distance between heaven and hell was so close.
The Jin family would have been the one to fall into hell.
............
In the main castle of raging tide city!
Count Jin Zhuo still felt that it was a little unreal.
Did this city belong to the Jin family now?
This Castle would belong to him?
It was like a dream!
“When lang ‘er explained the four moves to me that day, although I was amazed, I also felt that it was extremely difficult and that the chances of success were very low. However, our Jin clan would rather die in glory than live in dishonor. Even if there’s only a one percent chance of success, we’ll still do our best.” Earl Jin Zhuo said,”I didn’t expect this to be a success. Amazing, amazing!” &Nbsp;
“Lang ‘er, it’s such a waste of talent for you to stay in our family,” Jin Zhuo continued.
Shen lang said, ” father-in-law, I’m not tired of all this flattery. You can say more.
Ugh!
I had a lot more, but I don’t want to say it now.
Then, Shen lang sighed.
“Father-in-law, our strategy to rule across the sea wasn’t completely successful,” he said as he walked up to the map.
“We seized the most crucial furious tide city and Leizhou Island, but there are dozens of them in the entire Leizhou archipelago. The second largest island is the heavenly Wind Island, which has been seized by Governor Zhang Ji. The rest of the islands were taken by Qiu Wu.”
Shen lang did not have a fleet, so he could not take these islands.
Chou Yao ‘er could take over these islands, but she had no reason to fight for Shen lang. Even Shen lang could not open his mouth. Once he did, he would be humiliating himself.
“Governor Zhang Yan is amazing, too amazing,” Shen lang said.
Shen lang had been repeating this sentence since yesterday.
Not only did he plan to be the Mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the Oriole behind.
After Zhang Chunhua failed to persuade Qiu Yao ‘er, she immediately went to persuade Qiu Wu.
At least on the surface, Zhang Pu’s raging tide city was already in the bag.
After all, according to Zhang san’s calculations, Shen lang wanted to kill Qiu Yao ‘er and then seize the opportunity to take over the main castle.
In fact, Shen lang was really planning to do that.
He could indeed kill Chou Yao ‘er.
The moment they killed Chou Yao ‘er and the Jin clan attacked the raging tide city’s main castle, Zhang Jin’s 6000-strong Army would attack from behind.
Shen lang only had about 2000 people, and there were wolves in the front and tigers behind. It looked like he would definitely lose.
Thus, the probability of Zhang Jin taking over raging tide city was very high, and the probability of Zhang san’s plan succeeding was also very high.
Shen lang had no choice but to take the risk and negotiate with Chou Yao ‘er.
Perhaps it was the will of the heavens that Chou Yao ‘er was pregnant. Even though this factor didn’t affect the situation much, the child’s father still made her heart soften a little.
The most important thing was that Shen lang found out that someone had used poisonous salt to kill Qiu Yao ‘er and found out that the real culprit was Qiu Tianwei. This caused Qiu Yao’ er to completely give up her loyalty to her foster father.
This was the key to Shen Lang’s victory.
He also had to thank The Alchemist Taoist an Zaitian. He lurked beside Qiu Tianwei and did almost nothing except save Shu Shu and get her pregnant. But this one thing was enough.
In short, the victory of the battle of raging tide city could be decided in an instant.
Life and death were also decided in this instant.
The most impressive one was governor Zhang Ji.
When Zhang Pu had a high chance of taking over raging tide city, he actually had a backup plan.
He commandeered the second line Army of Nujiang County, convinced Qiu Wu to borrow his fleet, and seized all the islands except for raging tide city.
Especially the people of the heavenly Wind Island.
This was his plan.
If Zhang Pu could successfully take over raging tide city, that would be great!
But if he didn’t succeed, he still had a way out, and it wouldn’t cause the Zhang clan to be completely consigned to eternal damnation.
Before thinking of victory, one would think of defeat!
When he was about to succeed, he didn’t feel proud or smug. Instead, he immediately made a move to mend the sky to avoid the worst situation.
Shen lang was amazed by her talent and personality.
From the start of the fight until now, Zhang Ji had only lost by half a stone in every move.
In fact, it was not even half a stone.
Shen lang looked at the Leizhou islands on the map. It was over 10000 square kilometers.
Currently, the Jin family had only seized the largest Leizhou Island, which was about 5000 square kilometers.
The Jin family occupied half of the land, while the other half went to Zhang Ye and Qiu Hao. However, their islands did not have any large castles, so they were difficult to defend and lacked strategic depth.
it’s a pity that I didn’t use my full power, ” but we didn’t make any mistakes. The opponent was just too strong.
By the side, uncle Black Tortoise’s scalp turned numb when he heard this.
luckily we have lang ‘er, otherwise how could our Jin family be Zhang Heng’s match? ” Jin Zhuo said.
That was the truth.
If not for Shen Lang’s appearance, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu would have been destroyed a few months ago.
Even Zhang Ji did not have to do it himself. He could just attack the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu from all directions and make use of the greed of a few influential people to destroy the Jin family.
Although it was not as easy as destroying the palace of the Earl of Dongjiang, it was still effortless.
This person was so powerful that it was simply impossible to defend against him.
Shen lang said, ” fortunately, our battle with him is over. At least, we won’t be his opponent for a long time.
Of course, it was very exciting to play against such a top-tier expert.
However, Shen lang was not a masochist. He still liked to crush others.
For example, against opponents like Tian Heng, Xu Guangyun, Zhu Lanting, and Tang Lun.
It’d be great if he ran over them all the way.
To compete with an opponent like Zhang Ye, it was not enough to be smart, but to be lucky.
the ‘King across the sea’ strategy is 90% complete. There’s only one last step left. after this shiver, the Jin family will have a long period of peace and stability, ” Shen lang said. even my father-in-law’s title will be promoted.
Earl Jin Zhuo was helpless. This son-in-law would use dirty words no matter the occasion or the big matter.
“Next, it’s up to the monarch.” Said uncle Black Tortoise.
Shen lang said, ” that’s right. We’re going to have a small game with the monarch. It could be extremely intense, or it could be over with ease. I hope it’s the latter.”
“Me too!” Earl Jin Zhuo said.
Although the Jin clan had not lost any men in this battle, the strategic resources they had invested in this battle were astronomical.
They would need a period of time to recuperate, or at least let the new recruits grow.
If they could complete the entire strategy easily and completely take down raging tide city, it would naturally be the best.
Shen lang said, ” this will require Governor Zhang’s cooperation. However, I have high hopes for this person. Our cooperation will definitely be perfect.
“Tomorrow, the governor will come to negotiate. I’m really looking forward to it! However, there shouldn’t be any accidents.”
..................
The next morning.
Zhang Chunhua appeared in the large castle of raging tide city, her forehead covered in wounds.
At that moment, the way they looked at Shen lang was no longer seductive. Instead, they were filled with coldness.
Women were like that. No matter how smart they were, they couldn’t afford to lose.
Of course, Chou Yao ‘er was an exception.
She was neither a man nor a woman. She was just a person who could get pregnant.
“Where’s my brother?” Zhang Chunhua said.
Shen lang waved his hand, and Jin Hui and Shen thirteen carried in a coffin. Zhang Pu’s body was in the coffin.
He opened it.
Zhang Chunhua’s tears gushed out.
She had three older brothers, but Zhang Pu was the closest to her.
Her eldest brother was under the Pingnan general, and her second brother was a civil official in the capital. Only Zhang Jin and her had always followed her father.
Even though she had long expected this outcome, when she saw Zhang Pu’s body in person, she still felt a heartache.
Shen lang, I’m going to tear you into pieces.
He almost blurted out this sentence.
However, Zhang Chunhua still took it back.
Her father had warned her again and again that she could show weakness, but she could not have the mentality of a true weakling.
Some words should never be said.
For example, never say that so-and-so was rich or awesome, so what? What’s the big deal? I’m not begging him.
It was okay to think about it, but don’t say it out loud.
At this moment, if she clamored to tear Shen lang into pieces, she would be showing the attitude of a weakling.
Don’t say anything to vent your anger.
yesterday, when you and Qiu Hao’s fleet approached raging tide city, Zhang Jin thought your father was on the ship, so he desperately shouted a warning from the White Castle, but you couldn’t hear him, so he jumped off the castle and committed suicide, hoping that you could see it, but you didn’t see it.
Zhang Chunhua cried even harder and fell to the ground.
Although Zhang Jin was not the most outstanding son of his father, he was the most obedient and filial.
Now, this brother was gone.
After crying for a long time, Zhang Chunhua finally stopped.
Then, she said to Shen lang, ” my father has invited you for a negotiation on the sea. It’s just the two of you. Of course, you can bring a bodyguard.
“No need!” Shen lang said.
Indeed, he didn’t need bodyguards.
As the Earl of Xuanwu was already guarding raging tide city, even if he killed Shen lang, it would not change the current situation.
Moreover, from a certain perspective, Shen lang and Zhang Yan were already in the same boat.
............
Shen lang went out to sea by boat.
Even though he felt that there was no need for bodyguards, Jin Shiying still sent 1000 Warriors and five ships to follow Shen lang out to sea.
However, Zhang Ji really only had a small boat with him.
This attitude made the Jin family seem like a villain.
However, this was not a big deal. His father-in-law was just that conservative.
After sending Shen lang to the boat, Zhang Chunhua also left.
There were only Zhang Ji and Shen lang on the boat.
The ship did not open its sail and drifted along with the current.
The Jin family’s ships followed closely behind and even surrounded them. The distance between them was no more than five hundred meters.
..................
Shen lang entered the cabin.
He saw Zhang Ye.
He couldn’t help but be startled.
After not seeing him for a few days, Governor Zhang Ji had aged even faster than count Tang Lun.
His black hair had turned a few shades whiter.
However, he still sat up straight. His eyes were bright and full of spirit, but he did not seem aggressive.
master Zhang! Shen lang stepped forward and bowed. greetings, master Zhang.
“If uncle Black Tortoise isn’t here, I won’t get up,” Zhang Ye said.
“I don’t dare to,” Shen lang replied hurriedly.
After all, he was a junior, so it was only right for Zhang Ji to welcome the guests.
Then, Zhang Yan poured a cup of tea for Shen lang.
Shen lang picked it up with both hands and drank it in one gulp. He was not worried that it was poisonous at all.
“I’m very regretful about your son Zhang Jin’s matter,”
Shen lang said it was a pity, not an apology.
“There are no grudges on the battlefield,” Zhang Ye said, waving his hand.
Then, the two of them fell into silence.
Zhang Ji was a top-notch politician, but he wasn’t good at socializing, and he wasn’t good with words.
Shen lang did not like to pretend to be nice.
“Will Young master Shen start, or will I start?” Zhang Ye asked.
“I’m the junior, I’ll start,” Shen lang said.
“Sure!” Zhang Ye said.
“Chou Tian seized the gold Mountain Island, the king is furious, and the governor is anxious,” Shen lang said.
“On the surface, you say that you are unable to send troops to help uncle Xuanwu take back Gold Mountain Island, but in reality, there is not a day that you do not want to help your subjects take back their fiefs,” Zhang Ye said.
Shen lang said, ” the governor is worried about the king. Therefore, he mobilized all the soldiers in Nujiang County and successfully persuaded Qiu Wu to back him up. Meanwhile, our Jin family set up an inescapable trap at gazing Cliff Island. We lured Qiu Tianwei’s Army to attack.
“We’ll join forces to exterminate the pirate Qiu Tianwei and return peace to the eastern sea region of Yue country,” Zhang Ye said.
“Tang Lun colluded with the Pirates, Qiu Tianwei, and his crime is unforgivable.” As an old noble, he didn’t think of loyalty to the Emperor and loved his country. Instead, he colluded with bandits and harmed the territory of our Yue country. Such an unfilial and disloyal person has no face to be placed in the court of Yue country. I sincerely request the governor to submit a memorial to the Emperor to strip the Tang family of their title, take back any fief, and punish them for treason. With that, the governor’s plan for the new governance of Nujiang County has succeeded.”
“Count Black Tortoise sent troops to take over raging tide city and eliminated the bandit, Qiu Tianwei. He has done a lot of work,” Zhang Ye said.
Shen lang said, ” from now on, raging tide city will no longer be isolated Sea city. Instead, it will become an inseparable part of the Yue country. Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king for gaining more territory. The governor led the Army to capture Leizhou archipelago and made an immortal contribution. Our Jin family will definitely report this to the king and not let it down.”
Zhang Ye did not say anything else.
Shen lang said, ” the king’s new governance will benefit the country and the people. The Jin family will definitely support you! In order to set an example for the old aristocratic families, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu is willing to reduce the Army by 2000 soldiers.”
Previously, you had just expanded your Army by 2000, and now you’ve disbanded it and transferred it to the guards of the trade caravans. You’ve really made a lot of calculations.
Zhang Ye remained silent.
“In the battle of furious tide city, the Nujiang County army was defeated by Chou Yao ‘er, and they captured more than 3000 people. Our Jin clan has defeated Chou Yao ‘er and rescued these captives. We are willing to hand them over to the governor.”
“Thank you,” Zhang Ye said.
Then, the two of them finished their conversation.
There was no surprise.
It didn’t even look like a negotiation. There was no seesaw battle, no bargaining.
It was as if the two of them had completely discussed this beforehand.
............
Shen lang and Zhang Yan’s cooperation was just a show for the world to see.
Zhang Ji would definitely report the exact details to the Emperor in secret.
“I’ve already handed over the secret Letter for the King.” whether we fight or make peace, whether it’s lightning or wind, ” Zhang Ye said. it’ll all depend on the monarch’s will.
“The day the emperor’s decree is issued will be the day I release the 3000 captives,” Shen lang said.
“I just saw the heavenly society’s ships continuously entering raging tide city,” Zhang Ye said.
“En!” Shen lang.
After the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu expanded their Army, they had a private army of 5000. They took over the 1000 Pirates that Chou Yao ‘er had left behind, as well as the 1000 or so people that the heavenly Dao Association had sent as reinforcements.
Therefore, there were a total of 7000 soldiers and horses used to defend raging tide city.
The most important thing was that the Jin clan had taken over all of Qiu Tianwei’s ships and controlled most of the sea.
On the other hand, Zhang Ji only had four thousand Pirates with Qiu Hao, but he had to defend more than ten islands.
By now, the Jin family had already occupied three castles in the Furious tide city. Moreover, Qiu Tianwei’s castle was too strong. It was a fool’s dream to take it down with only 4000 Pirates.
You want to start a war?
Unless the monarch gathered 20 to 30 thousand troops and built large warships.
Even so, it would take a year and a half before they could cross the sea and attack raging tide city.
But would the king be willing to pay such a huge price?
The war to suppress the rebellion in the southern beating country was in full swing.
If the Jin family was forced into a corner and directly took the raging tide city to the North to seek refuge with the Wu State, then the whole country would be in turmoil.
Therefore, the discussion between Shen lang and Zhang Ye was the best way to give the world an explanation.
The monarch’s face was also acceptable.
Even on the surface, it looked like a huge victory.
Wasn’t it awesome to expand the territory?
Of course, this was also a slap in the face of the ning family by the Jin family.
Could the monarch swallow this?
..................
Zhang sa poured Shen lang another cup of tea.
“No matter what the emperor’s final decree is, this old man has lost this battle.” “The young are really fearsome,” Zhang Ye said.
“I believe you have seen your hard work and contributions,” Shen lang said.
Zhang Ye said, ” I’m about the same age as uncle Xuanwu. I’ve been in a daze for more than ten years. Now that I’ve fallen so hard, I don’t know when I’ll be able to get up again. I might not even be able to get up.
that’s not necessary, ” Shen lang said. I believe that Zhang Gonggong will have a good fortune.
Although he said that, he really wasn’t sure what would happen to Zhang Ji.
In the battle of raging tide city, Zhang Ji had indeed saved half of the king’s situation. At least, the Jin family had not taken over the entire Leizhou archipelago.
This way, the Jin family would not be able to completely expand overseas. At least, they would be able to control and monitor the surrounding islands.
However, the battle between Zhang Feng and the Jin family did end in defeat.
The king was also fickle in his emotions, mean and unkind.
So, what would Zhang Ye’s ending be? No one knew. It was all up to the monarch.
“At least the new policies have nothing to do with me anymore,” Zhang Ye said in a self-deprecating manner.
The new policy was not only unrelated to Zhang Ji.
After the battle of raging tide city, Yue country’s new governance was basically suspended.
Because who else would you choose to attack?
Who will you let be the vanguard of this new policy?
After any political struggle was defeated, the first thing to do was to lie low and wait for the opportunity, rather than immediately rushing to the next battlefield.
Zhang Ji’s Secret letter had already been sent to the capital at the fastest speed possible.
Shen lang could not imagine how shocked the monarch and the entire imperial court would be.
“If that’s the case, then we’re done with our discussion. I’ll return to the old residence and wait for the monarch’s decision,” Zhang Ji said as he stood up.
Shen lang bowed. Lord Zhang, the mountains are high and the rivers are far. We will meet again!
