475 Zhuo Zhaoyan’s death! Intimidating the capital!
It was only now that Zhuo Zhaoyan gradually came back to her senses. Her entire body was trembling violently and she could not even stand. She kept feeling like she was going to collapse on the ground.
Everything happened too quickly. What exactly happened?
The Marquis of Xuanwu’s residence had buried so much gunpowder and so much fish oil and tung oil. Why did it not explode?
Why did Shen Lang’s adoptive mother suddenly become Xue Yin?
A moment later, a familiar face appeared in front of Zhuo Zhaoyan. It was Daoist Xu, whom she had always trusted.
This person came in front of Shen lang and knelt down. With tears on his face, he said, ” “This old servant, Xu Fan, pays his respects to Your Majesty.”
Zhuo Zhaoyan could not believe it. you! Who are you? ” she asked. I’ve checked your identity. You’re an abandoned disciple from the Lianshan Dao Palace. There’s no problem with your identity. You can’t be from Shen Lang’s Black Mirror division.”
“That’s right, I’m an abandoned disciple of the Lianshan Daoist Palace,” Xu Fan said. However, I have another identity. I’m an orphan under Jiang Li’s command, just like madman huanlan and the others.”
no, ” Zhuo Zhaoyan said. you don’t have any traces of a special bloodline at all.
Xu Fan said, ” only some of the talents trained by His Majesty Jiang Li have special bloodlines. Some of them are passionate about all kinds of mysticism. In your eyes, there are only those with special bloodlines. Most of the students in the school organized by His Majesty were ordinary bloodlines. we grew up in the mountains that were like a paradise. We lived with our parents, learned all kinds of knowledge, and lived a happy and free life. One day, the world fell apart, and we lost everything, becoming war orphans. At that time, lunatic LAN was only ten years old, and I was slightly older. However, I’ve been a loner since I was young, hehe.”
Xu Fan wiped his tears and said with a trembling voice, ” “I’ll never forget the scene when my father, my mother, and my sister Qianqian were executed by that bastard Ying Guang. “From then on, I swore to take revenge. I’m not good at martial arts and only know a little bit of alchemy. Thus, I went to the Lianshan Daoist Palace. Because I blew up two buildings while doing alchemy experiments, I was chased out. From then on, I wandered around the world and tried to use alchemy to assassinate the rebels of the Ying clan. In the end, I failed. In the end, Emperor Shen lang appeared, and the sky brightened up. I could have followed lunatic LAN, bitter joy, and Jin Jun to the sand primitive tribe, but I didn’t. I chose to stay, so I chose you, Zhuo Zhaoyan.”
In fact, there were many people like Xu Fan. The moment Shen Lang’s identity was exposed, the war orphans who were once Jiang Li’s subordinates all came. However, before many people arrived, Shen lang had already gone out to sea.
Some of these people had been captured, but a larger group had found a way to hide.
Zhuo Zhaoyan trembled as she said,”but, but you, Zhenzhen ...”
“I acted like I was infatuated with you, and I even treated your illness three times, right?” Xu Fan said.
Zhuo Zhaoyan was a very suspicious person and would never trust anyone. Even if Xu Fan gave her the gunpowder formula, he would not be able to gain her trust and might even kill her to silence her.
The reason why he could obtain Zhuo Zhaoyan’s complete trust was entirely because Xu Fan had cured her illness and even saved her life.
“It’s not difficult for you to kill me, so why didn’t you do it?” Zhuo Zhaoyan hissed.
“If you die, the Marquis of Xuanwu’s Palace will fall into the hands of others,” Xu Fan said. So before his Majesty returns, you can’t die.”
At this moment, Zhuo Yixin, the Earl of anting, had been tied up with a rope. There was a rope around his neck and limbs.
Zhuo Zhaoyan’s entire body trembled violently. This was her younger brother, and he could be considered the only heir of the Zhuo family.
The five warhorses galloped slowly. Zhuo Yixin’s body was pulled straight in the air.
“Ah!!!!!!!!”
“Sister, save me, save me Yingluo!”
The young Count anting was scared out of his wits.
Zhuo Zhaoyan said sternly,”Shen lang, what right do you have to treat the Zhuo family like this?” We had no enmity with each other, but it was your father’s remaining members who wandered into my family and brought disaster to our Zhuo family. What wrong have I done? Am I wrong to point out your identity?”
Shen lang spread his hands and said,”miss Zhuo, only children talk about right and wrong.” You’re right, you’re right, you’re right for everything, okay?”
Then, he suddenly waved his hand.
The five warhorses galloped and tore count anting apart.
Zhuo Zhaoyan could no longer control herself and sat on the ground.
The Warriors of the Nirvana Army were expressionless. They raised their swords and killed the hundreds of people of the Zhuo family in a short time.
Shen lang smiled and said,”miss Zhuo, you’re the only one left.” The most important thing for a family is to be in good order. Should I send you on your way now?”
Zhuo Zhaoyan’s face twitched, and tears and snot gushed out. She knelt down with all her strength.
“Shen lang, the winner is king, and the loser is Bandit. Can I survive? No matter how humiliating it is, can I survive?” Zhuo Zhaoyan sobbed. even if I have to be ridden by a thousand men or trampled by ten thousand men, or even if you torture me in all ways, I’m fine as long as I’m alive. Is that okay? ”
Shen lang closed his eyes and started to recall this woman. She was a naturally evil woman. In fact, she was different from the seed Master.
Zeshishi was only arrogant and domineering, but she was not a naturally venomous snake. On the other hand, Zhuo Zhaoyan’s entire body was covered in poison. Shen lang could never forget how Zhuo Zhaoyan threatened him when Mu Lan gave birth to Shen Ye and her life force started to wither day by day.
Qiu Wu was not on his list of enemies, but Zhuo Zhaoyan was definitely there.
“Destroy his meridians,” Shen lang said.
Instantly, Xue Yin stepped forward and cut off the veins in Zhuo Zhaoyan’s limbs.
Shen lang then took out a rope and tied it around Zhuo Zhaoyan’s neck.
“Shen lang, what are you doing? What are you doing?”
“Don’t kill me. I can be a slave or a servant. I can be a pig or a dog.” Zhuo Zhaoyan screamed in fear.
Shen lang rode on his tall amazon warhorse and ordered, ” “Return to the residence!”
Then, he spurred his horse on and galloped away. Zhuo Zhaoyan’s delicate body was being dragged to the ground.
..................
After an hour and a half, Shen lang returned to the Marquis of Xuanwu’s residence. Zhuo Zhaoyan was already gone. He did not even know when she died.
Jin Zhuo, su Peipei, Jin mucong, and the others had all entered the mansion. They were checking every yard and every house with joy.
It had been more than two years, and he had finally taken it back. He had finally returned to this mansion.
When Shen lang walked into his courtyard, Bing ‘er had already cleaned up the place with a dozen people and was playing with the children.
Even though she had left for more than two years, Shen lang could still smell Mulan’s scent.
He reached out and touched the tables, chairs, and the wall of enemies he had used.
He had too many enemies ‘names now. He couldn’t even write all of them on a wall. He didn’t even know if he should write the names of some people.
Because he couldn’t be considered a great enemy, but he was disgusting enough, like the former Crown Prince Ning Yi.
Then, whose name should be written on the wall in front of him first?
Shen lang thought for a long time and wrote down three names.
The Zhu family, Ning Han, and the sky-Sea Pavilion were his three biggest enemies in Yue country.
Even if Shen lang did not kill them, the three groups of people would definitely come to kill Shen lang.
Of course, there were even bigger enemies than these three. Ying Guang and his son, the Emperor of the great Yan Empire!
However, he had to take revenge one by one. First, he had to deal with the State of Yue, then the New Kingdom, and finally the great Yan Empire.
This was especially so for Ying Guang and his son. Their hatred for Shen lang was as deep as the sea. Emperor Jiang Li valued them so much that Ying Guang was his sworn brother instead of his biological brother. However, he was conferred the title of King by Jiang Li. He was only under one person and above all. Not to mention Ying Wuming, who called Jiang Li his father and was almost his only direct disciple.
However, after Jiang Li’s death, the two of them betrayed him and killed all the members of the Jiang royal family. That was not all. Jiang Li had cultivated countless talents at that time, but they were all killed by the father and son.
..................
At that moment, a woman stood in front of Shen lang with a frosty expression.
tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, ” Yingluo, you’ve lost weight. Fortunately, your curves are still there, and your chin has become sharper. You’ve become more beautiful, more beautiful, Yingluo.
“We’re husband and wife, after all. You don’t have to be so cold to me, right?” Shen lang went closer to her and saw a faint wound on her face. He asked, ” “Zhu Wenhua did this?”
“No, I cut myself.” Xu Qianqian said.
“It’s alright, it’s alright. The wound is relatively shallow, so it won’t leave a scar.” “What are your plans?” Shen lang asked.
“Shen lang, you’re my jinx,” Xu Qianqian said.
Shen lang said, ” who asked us to be fated? an ill-fated relationship is still fate. Do you still want to rise again and revive the Xu Xiu business?”
“I’ve already made a comeback twice, but I lost everything in the end,” Xu Qianqian said.
“I can return your properties, workshop, and mulberry fields to you,” Shen lang said.
“What if the Empire of Yan attacks again?” Xu Qianqian asked.
“Then I have no choice,” Shen lang said.
“I understand now. It’s the stupidest thing to develop a family business before the chaotic world is over. I have no other choice. In everyone’s eyes, I am the remnant of Shen lang. In that case, I shall not struggle anymore. Emperor Shen lang, from now on, I am yours.”
“Really?” “Sleep with me?” Shen lang asked.
“I won’t!” “When I work for you, I don’t sleep with you, and I don’t sell my body,” Xu Qianqian said.
that’s good, that’s good, ” Shen lang said, ” “I’m much more at ease then.”
Xu Qianqian couldn’t take it anymore. She stepped on his foot.
you are the most professional in silk. Next, you will be the female official in charge of the silk trade. “You can manage the spinning, weaving, and trading of the silkworms,” Shen lang said.
“What official position?” Xu Qianqian asked.
“A high ranking official of the weaving Bureau,” Shen lang said.
“There’s still someone who can trade with you at a time like this?” Xu Qianqian asked.
Shen lang said, ” we trade with the Western world. The quality of their silk is not as good as ours. Furthermore, their production is very low. Their price is more than five times that of ours. The profit is huge.
........................
“How have you been, brother Zhu Wenhua?” Shen lang laughed,”why don’t you run?” You knew I was coming back, so why didn’t you run?”
“I wanted to run, but Zhuo Zhaoyan said that Yan nanfei could win, so I didn’t run for the time being. By the time I knew that raging tide city had fallen, it was already too late for me to escape.”
“Why aren’t you begging for mercy?” Shen lang said.
“What’s the point of me begging?” Zhu Wenhua asked. There’s no way you’ll let me go.”
“If you don’t beg for mercy, why don’t you curse at me?” Shen lang said.
Zhu Wenhua replied, ” I don’t dare to. I don’t have the confidence to do so anymore. I’m just an ant now. I’m no longer worthy of being your enemy. I don’t even have the right to curse at you.
Shen lang said, ” Zhu Wenhua, I don’t hate you at all. You’re not even on my list of enemies. The only thing you’ve done to anger me is to force Xu Qianqian to marry you and almost disfigure her. She can’t be considered my woman, but at least she’s mine now.”
Zhu Wenhua said coldly,”if you want to kill me or torture me, go ahead!” Shen lang, I don’t care if you believe me or not. When I was the city Lord of Xuanwu city for the past two years, I always thought that you would return one day. Even though I kept saying that you’re already dead, I felt that you would definitely come back. This damn intuition. The person who understood you the most was definitely your enemy. I should be considered your earliest enemy.”
Shen lang said, ” Tian Heng was earlier than you. However, he’s dead. What about city Lord Liu Wuyan? what has he been doing recently? ”
“We’re out of luck. Our entire clan has been imprisoned,” Zhu Wenhua said.
Shen lang was stunned. why is that? he is my enemy. He was almost on my list of enemies.
Zhu Wenhua said, ” when your identity was revealed, he was very passive. After you left the country, he resigned. People thought that he pitied the rebellious Shen lang. Therefore, his entire family was imprisoned.
Shen lang said, ” this is an unexpected disaster. I didn’t expect city Lord Liu Wuyan to be implicated by me and be imprisoned. Fate is making a fool out of us.
“That’s right, there really isn’t much logic in this world,” Zhu Wenhua said.
“Zhu Wenhua, do you hate me?” Shen lang asked.
Zhu Wenhua said,”I’m a coward. Do I still have the right to hate?” You’re no longer the Shen lang who competed with me for the sales volume by writing ‘endless wind and moon’. You’re just Jian Jia.”
no, Zhu Wenhua, you’re wrong. I’m still the same Shen lang from back then. Shen lang said, ” I don’t care about the human Emperor of the East. My goal in life has never changed, and that is to have no grudges. I am no different from the person who wrote ‘endless wind and moon’.
I don’t think you’ll be able to win, ” Zhu Wenhua said. you’re too weak. In the face of the Empire of Great Yan, you’re like an ant trying to shake a tree.
“Alright, that’s all for the chit chat.” “Do you know that I have a nickname?” Shen lang asked.
Zhu Wenhua shook his head to show that he had no idea. In the eastern world, Shen lang had a lot of nicknames. He had been given the shameless soft-Rice King and the pretty boy with the intelligence that was close to the demon level. These nicknames had been used before, but they were not widely spread.
“Someone, help me hold down master Zhu Wenhua,” Shen lang said.
Two warriors stepped forward and held Zhu Wenhua down. He was unable to move.
“Bear with it, it’ll be over soon.” Shen lang said.
Then, he waved the hook knife in his hand, and there was one more eunuch in the world.
“Brother Zhu Wenhua, what do you want to tell me the most?” Shen lang asked.
Zhu Wenhua’s face was covered in cold sweat. He was completely pale.
“You, when will the second volume of your” endless wind and moon “be released? “I’m stunned, I’m stunned,” Zhu Wenhua said as he trembled.
“Someone, stop the bleeding for Zhu Wenhua,” Shen lang said.
An Zaishi stepped forward and skillfully stopped Zhu Wenhua’s bleeding and sutured the wound.
Zhu Wenhua, from this moment on, all the grudges in the past are over. You can decide what to do next. “Now, I need you to go to the capital, Tian Yue city, and pass on a message for me,” Shen lang said.
“To whom?” Zhu Wenhua asked.
Shen lang said, ” brother Zhu Wenhua is indeed smart. You passed the message to two people. One of them is the Prime Minister Zhu Hong. The other is the Yue King, ning Shao.
“Sure, I’ll definitely pass it on,” Zhu Wenhua said.
Shen lang said, ” first, please release ning yuanxian, Ning Zheng, concubine Bian, ning gang, ning Qi, Bian Xiao’s family, Zhang Ji’s family, and so on. Everyone who was arrested because of me must be released.
second, hand ning Yi over to me unconditionally. I want to cut him into a thousand pieces.
“Thirdly, are Zhu Ning and ning Qi married?”
“No, their engagement has been called off.” Zhu Wenhua shook his head.
“Ning Qi can’t curry favor with Zhu Ning anymore?” Shen lang asked.
“More or less,” Zhu Wenhua replied.
“Thirdly, Zhu Hong, please hand Zhu Ning over to Jin mucong unconditionally and let him be his concubine,” Shen lang said.
“If ning Shao, the king of Yue, doesn’t agree, I’ll immediately send troops to attack Tian Yue city, exterminate the Zhu family, and break ning Shao’s carriage.”
“Anything else?” Zhu Wenhua asked.
“No more, just these three sentences.” Shen lang said.
“Yes,” Zhu Wenhua replied.
........................
The next day, Zhu Wenhua, who had yet to recover from his serious injuries, left Xuanwu city on a horse carriage and headed to the capital, Tian Yue city. For this, Shen lang even gave him a syringe of penicillin to prevent him from dying from inflammation on the way.
At this moment, the news of Shen Lang’s return could no longer be suppressed, and it instantly spread throughout the entire Yue country.
The governor of Nujiang County, Tang Yun, abandoned the city and fled, leading his subordinates back to the capital, tianyue city.
Immediately after, the Deputy of the State of Yue’s Bureau of Military Affairs, the governor of Tiannan province, Zhu Rong, also gave up on Tiannan city and went to the Royal capital, tianyue city.
In the entire Tiannan province, even Tianbei province, countless officials and generals fled one after another. Almost all the troops retreated to tianyue city.
With the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu as the center, within a radius of a thousand miles, there were no more officials or soldiers of Yue State.
Shen lang really did not have enough troops, so he could not send troops to occupy it. Otherwise, he would have occupied half a province by now.
However, the atmosphere in Tiannan province and Tianbei province was very strange.
After the officials and soldiers had all left, the order in the thousand-mile territory was still cold. All the people closed their doors, and it was like a Dead City. No one cheered for Shen lang and Emperor Jiang Li anymore. Not to mention welcoming the emperor’s Army and protecting Shen lang.
Xuanwu city was close by. After Zhu Wenhua left, there were no more officials or soldiers here. Shen lang did not send any soldiers to guard the place, and none of the famous people in Xuanwu city came to visit Shen lang. Not only did none of the famous people come, but none of the civilians came either.
Everyone was shocked like never before, but they acted as if nothing had happened. They buried their heads in the ground and shivered like ostriches.
Shen lang understood that because the Empire of Great Yan was too powerful, everyone did not think that Shen lang would win. They felt that he had no chance of winning. If they came out to support Shen lang now, they would die without a burial ground.
In fact, many people supported Jiang Li and even Shen lang. When he went overseas two years ago, he protected everyone and created the miracle of almost no one dying.
However, after that, the great Yan Empire and the Yue King, ning Shao’s, reckoning was too terrifying. Everyone who supported Shen lang, regardless of their identity, was arrested. More than 100000 people were arrested in the entire Yue country, and more than 10000 people were killed.
It could be said that those who dared to openly support Shen lang were either taken to the sand primitive tribe by Jin Jun or killed by ning Shao.
The remaining people didn’t dare to speak.
Shen lang did not blame them. He even ordered the Army not to harass the civilians and not to buy food and recruit soldiers. They were afraid of them, but they did not have to be treated coldly.
..............................
There were only a few people in the study of the Royal Palace of Yue State.
The king of Yue, ning Shao, the Prime Minister, Zhu Hong, the Deputy of the Bureau of Military Affairs, Zhu Rong, the former Crown Prince, ning Yi, the eldest Princess, Ning Luo, the Empress Dowager, the Zhu family, the Duke, ning Qi, and many others.
The castrated Zhu Wenhua kneeled on the ground and did not move.
are you sure that raging tide city has completely fallen? ” Ning Yi asked.
yes, ” Zhu Wenhua replied. Yan nanfei was dismembered, the Zhuo family was exterminated, and the Furious tide city was occupied.
“How many troops does Shen lang have?” ning Yi asked.
“There are less than 50000 in total. The ground forces alone should have around 10000,” Zhu Wenhua replied.
Everyone’s eyes twitched. It was indeed such a small army, yet it was The Return of the King. Shen lang was definitely crazy.
Ning Yi said,”Shen lang let you go. Do you have anything to tell us?.”
Zhu Wenhua said, ” he asked me to pass on three messages. The first message is to ask Your Majesty to release the Grand Emperor, ning yuanxian, Ning Zheng, concubine Bian, ning gang, ning Qi, Bian Xiao’s family, Zhang Ji’s family, and so on. In short, everyone who was arrested because of Shen lang must be released unconditionally.
the second sentence, Your Majesty, please hand over ning Yi unconditionally. Shen lang must be cut into pieces.
the third sentence, Prime Minister Zhu hongzhu, please hand over Zhu Ning unconditionally and marry her to Jin mucong as his concubine.
“If you don’t agree, Shen lang will immediately send troops to attack Tian Yue city, exterminate the Zhu family, and destroy His Majesty’s carriage.”
Zhu Wenhua repeated Shen Lang’s words, and ning Yi was about to explode. He pulled out his knife and was about to cut off Zhu Wenhua’s head because he wanted to vent his anger.
“Stop!” “He’s just a Messenger,” Zhu hongzhu said coldly.
Ning Yi withdrew his knife in shock and said in a cold voice, ” “Your Majesty, Shen lang is too arrogant. We have to give him the sternest reply and let him see our determination. This is a direct challenge to the State of Yue and the entire Great Yan Empire.”
The Prince of Yue, ning Shao, was completely expressionless as he said indifferently, ” “Sure, Shen lang is coming to attack Tian Yue city. I welcome him! However, he successfully infuriated me, so I had to respond.”
How many people were arrested because of Shen Lang’s case? ” The Yue King ning Shao asked.
“150000 people.” Zhu Rong said.
public execution, ” ning Shao said. 10000 people will be beheaded and their heads will be sent to Shen lang.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Ning Yi trembled with excitement.
“This is not enough. Cut off one of Ning Zheng’s arms and send it to Shen lang,” ning Shao said.
“In addition, prepare for the final battle in Tian Yue city! Tell the sky-Sea Pavilion not to stand by and do nothing. It’s time to attack!”
