542 Collusion with Yan capital!
“Yao ‘er, you can’t beat Ying Wuming?” Shen lang asked.
“That’s right, I can’t beat him,” Chou Yao ‘er nodded.
Shen lang being captured in the crater caused by the comet was part of the plan. However, Chou Yao ‘er had given her all in the battle with Ying Wuming. In the end, she still lost.
Just like what Ying Wuming had said, he had everything that Chou Yao ‘er had, and he also had everything that Chou Yao’ er didn’t have. Ying Wuming was Jiang Li’s only direct disciple. He had the most powerful bloodline, the most powerful ancient equipment, and the most powerful ancient books.
Therefore, it was normal that Chou Yao ‘er couldn’t defeat him.
Shen lang played with the ancient king’s ring in his hand. He even took it off and was about to put it on Chou Yao ‘er’s finger.
“Don’t mess around.” Chou Yao ‘er said.
Shen lang picked up Chou Yao ‘er’s hand. It was empty, and there was not even a normal ring on it. Shen lang placed her hand in his mouth and bit on it gently.
“Yao ‘er, do you think I can beat Ying Wuming?” Shen lang suddenly said.
Chou Yao ‘er turned around and looked at Shen lang for a long time before saying, ” “Are you serious?”
Shen lang said,”how do you think I can defeat Ying Wuming?” What if he defeated him in a fair and square one-on-one fight? Is there such a possibility?”
Chou Yao ‘er thought for a long time, and Shen lang thought that she would say something sarcastic. However, she said, ” you’re indeed different from everyone else. You want to defeat an extremely powerful enemy without the strength to even truss a chicken. You don’t even know how strong he is.
Shen lang laughed. that’s right. However, one must have a dream. What if it comes true? ”
For a long time, Shen lang had been thinking about one question.
How could they defeat the newly established Kingdom in the shortest time possible?
To directly transfer the power of the Wu, Chu, and Yue countries to train a new army, and then attack the New Kingdom?
This was the worst plan.
In the future, he might go on a Northern Expedition, but his target should be the great Yan Empire. The new Qian Kingdom was originally part of the great Qian Empire. Many officials and citizens there still had deep memories of the great Qian Empire and their feelings for Jiang Li.
Ning yuanxian had mentioned many times that the officials and citizens of the New Kingdom had complicated feelings for Shen lang. They were full of sympathy and even had some feelings for him. However, they kept their distance from him as they were afraid of war and did not want to change the current situation.
Therefore, if they were asked who they had more feelings for, it would definitely be Jiang Li’s side. However, if one asked Shen lang and Ying Guang, who would they choose to be loyal to? They would choose Ying Guang and his son.
Shen lang had said a long time ago that he had no interest in conquering the world. His only goal was to have no grudges.
There were only a few names left on his list of enemies. There were only Ying Guang and his son, the Lord of stupa mountain, the Emperor of the great Yan Empire, and a few others.
Killing Ying Guang and his son would not only allow them to take revenge, but it would also be the best way to deal with the New Kingdom.
First of all, the officials and citizens of the new Qian Kingdom were filled with hatred for the great Yan Empire. After Jiang Li’s sudden death over twenty years ago, the Army of the great Yan Empire had become beasts. They ravaged the land of the great Qian Empire for more than half a year, killing millions of people and defiling millions of women. Almost every family shed blood and tears.
Therefore, when Ying Guang and his son expressed their intention to leave the great Yan Empire, the citizens and officials of the newly established Kingdom were very calm.
As long as they defeated Ying Guang and his son, the officials and citizens of the New Kingdom would have no choice but to be loyal to Shen lang.
Shen lang had already set up a vicious plan to kill Ying Guang. That dragon egg was filled with terrifying radioactive substances. Under the radiation for many years, Ying Guang’s body would suffer a fatal blow.
But how could he kill Wuming? Especially when he defeated Ying Wuming fair and square, it was indeed whimsical.
However, Shen lang had always been like this. Regardless of whether he could achieve it or not, he would always set a goal and try his best to achieve it. He would even use any means.
Of course, he was completely helpless right now. He didn’t even have a single direction.
Of course, it could not be said that there was no direction. It could only be said that there was a vague direction, but the road leading to this direction was dark.
“Your Majesty, someone has come to visit you in secret.” Zhang Chunhua went straight into the room.
Shen lang went into the bathtub to bathe and change his clothes. Zhang Chunhua followed after him and helped him change into a new robe.
“Your Majesty, I’m sure you won’t be able to guess who this guest is.” Zhang Chunhua said as she combed Shen Lang’s hair. Then, she could not help but kiss him on the lips for a long time. She seemed very mysterious.
Who was it that made Zhang Chunhua behave like this?
“You are Prince Lian of the great Yan Empire, right?” Shen lang asked.
Instantly, Zhang Chunhua was stunned. She looked at Shen lang for a long time before she sat on his lap and said, ” “Why are you so smart? You have to give others a way out.”
........................
After Prince Lian left Dark Castle in the southern seas, he didn’t immediately return to the Yan capital. Instead, he secretly paid a visit to raging tide city.
Emperor Shen lang, we finally meet again. After so many years, how have you been? ” Prince Lian of the great Yan Empire laughed.
Shen lang could not help but think for a long time before he remembered where he had met the Lian Prince. It was a few years ago when the old king of Chu and the king of Yue, ning yuanxian, had a hunting competition at the border. At that time, the Lian Prince was there. However, Shen lang was a nobody at that time, and the Lian Prince did not even look at him.
“How have you been, your Royal Highness? how is my brother, the dreamy cloud swampland?” Shen lang said.
Prince Lian said, ” you should know about this. He’s too close to you. He’ll definitely be the most implicated. I can only say that he’s still alive.
Shen Lang’s heart skipped a beat. However, he quickly cast this thought aside as he knew that he would be in a passive position if he did not discuss this matter now.
It was no wonder that Zhang Chunhua had such a mysterious expression. The arrival of Prince Lian was indeed shocking. The great Yan Empire and Shen lang were irreconcilable, so what was there to talk about?
“Where is min Junwang?” asked Prince Lian.
dead, ” Shen lang said. when Dragon’s regret exploded, he died.
“Oh.” Prince Lian nodded and drank a cup of tea. He did not mention min Junwang again, as if he was just an insignificant person.
“Do I look like a jinx?” “Before the decisive battle in Tian Yue city, I also went to visit Tian Yue city and met with the then King of Yue, ning Shao. In the end, the king of Yue and Zhu hongxue were defeated. After that, I went to visit Wu Wang and tried to force him to compromise. In the end, Wu Wang went on a killing spree and wiped out the entire inner Pavilion. This time, Ying Guang and stupa mountain’s Alliance Army wanted to attack your raging tide city. I went to visit them again, but elder Wu and Ying wuque died in battle. It’s as if, before the great battle, if I pay a visit to any side, that side will definitely lose.”
Shen lang said, ” Prince Lian, this is probably more in line with your wishes. The Yan capital will definitely be very happy to see stupa mountain and Ying Guang’s Alliance be defeated.
Prince Lian said, ” you can’t say that you lost. Their combat power is still far stronger than yours. It’s just that I didn’t expect you to actually escape from their hands. You even launched Dragon’s regret and massacred the troops of Ying Guang and stupa mountain.
Shen lang said, ” if Ying wuque and elder Wu win this battle, they will be able to wipe out my furious tide city and capture my entire family. What would the Empire of Great Yan do? Would he launch Dragon’s regret to destroy elder Wu and Ying wuque’s Army?”
Prince Lian replied,”I’ve always been in Dark Castle on stupa mountain as a hostage. I only left after the war ended.” If I don’t go, they won’t dare to focus on attacking raging tide city.”
“Lian Prince is honest,” Shen lang said.
Speaking of which, ” Prince Lian said, ” that son of mine was in the raging tide city’s waters. He also died under Dragon’s regret.
Shen lang said,”the pervert that Ning Yan married?” Was he also an observer on Ning Han’s flagship?”
“Yes, that’s him,” Prince Lian said.
Shen lang said, ” he’s dead. You probably aren’t very sad. After all, he has tarnished your family’s reputation.
The Lian Prince drank another half cup of tea and did not continue the conversation.
Emperor Shen lang, have you always felt that you are extremely righteous? ” “Do you think that everything you’ve done is as bright as the sun, while the great Yan Empire is evil?” the Lian Prince suddenly asked.
Shen lang shook his head and said, ” I don’t care about that. I’ve always said that I only have one goal. I don’t have any grudges. I have no interest in becoming the human Emperor of the East. As long as I get rid of all the people on the list of enemies, my mission will be considered over. I will then be able to roam the world.”
I wouldn’t believe it if someone else said this. However, since it came from His Majesty Shen lang, I believe it completely. Prince Lian said, ” you really don’t have any political ambitions. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have only controlled raging tide city and ignored the power of the Wu, Chu, and Yue countries.
Shen lang filled the Lian Prince’s Cup and asked, ” “Prince Lian, you’re one of the core members of the great Yan Empire, and your mother is my grandmother’s sister, right?”
“Yes,” Prince Lian said, ” the Jiang and Ji surnames are the most distinguished surnames in the world. Our families have been connected by marriage for generations. There’s almost no distinction between us. It wasn’t until the generation of Emperor Jiang Li that the two families were completely torn apart.
Shen lang said, ” I don’t have many enemies left. However, there is a critical enemy. I don’t even know who he is. Can you tell me? ” Who killed His Majesty Jiang Li?”
Prince Lian said, ” your father, Emperor Jiang Li, was the most powerful cultivator in the world. Your mother, the second most powerful cultivator in the world, died suddenly. This is an unsolved mystery for the past 100 years. You’re asking me who killed Emperor Jiang Li and the Empress? ” You’ve really overestimated my worth.”
“You don’t know either?” Shen lang asked.
“I really don’t know,” Prince Lian replied.
“Does the Emperor of Great Yan know about this?” Shen lang asked.
“His Majesty should know, no, he definitely knows,” the Lian Prince replied after some thought.
Shen lang said, ” that’s troublesome. He can’t tell me, right? ” He won’t tell me anything unless I defeat him and kill my way into the palace, right?”
“That’s about it,” Prince Lian said.
Shen lang said,”but now, I don’t even have the right to be his enemy, right?” I still have to destroy Ying Guang and his son, as well as stupa mountain, before I’m qualified to be his enemy?”
“You can put it that way,” Prince Lian said.
“Then, what advice does Prince Lian have for you this time?” Shen lang asked.
“Back then, Zhu hongxue led the blood soul Army to hunt down Jin Jun, all the way to the southernmost tip of the sand primitive tribe, the heaven-ceasing peak, which is also the Vajra peak,” Prince Lian said. Jin Jun’s tens of thousands of people escaped into the ancient ruins of the Vajra peak, so they should still be inside, right?”
“This is an open secret,” Shen lang said.
Prince Lian said, ” now, Ying Guang and stupa mountain have amassed a large number of troops around the ancient ruins on Vajra peak. They’ve set up an inescapable net and are waiting for you to surrender. This is their chess game in the South. In the North, Ying Wuming had gathered the troops of the New Kingdom and stupa mountain. They could launch a surprise attack at any time and destroy any of the Three Kingdoms in an instant. How does your Majesty Shen Lang Plan to solve this North and South chess game?”
“Lian Prince, aren’t you here?” Shen lang said.
Prince Lian said, ” a straightforward person doesn’t resort to insinuations. First of all, we will never allow you to fall into the hands of Ying Guang and stupa mountain again. Your previous crazy actions have brought Great Yan Empire a huge disadvantage. Without you, Ying Wuming wouldn’t have been able to represent stupa mountain in the Supreme power conference.”
Shen lang shrugged his shoulders and did not say anything.
Prince Lian said, ” there’s only one thing that can stop Ying Wuming’s Army from ambushing the Wu, Chu, and Yue kingdoms. There’s also only one thing that can force Ying Guang and stupa mountain’s Army to withdraw from the Vajra peak. That’s Dragon’s regret. And one is not enough. Everyone knew that Emperor Shen lang only had one Dragon’s regret left. Furthermore, it was to protect raging tide city and could not be used. Then we are the only ones in the world who can truly have Dragon’s regret.”
Shen lang said,”could it be that the Yan capital wants to lend me Dragon’s regret?” I’m so grateful. Let’s sign the contract now. If you lend me 10 of Dragon’s regret, I’ll return 100 to you within a year.”
At this moment, the Lian Prince’s face instantly fell.
Emperor Shen lang, you’re no longer the ruffian from back then, but you’re still making irresponsible remarks. Can’t you have the serious demeanor of a monarch?
Hehe? Not to mention 100, Shen lang would even agree to 1000.
This was just like how some older brothers took out small loans. They paid their salaries at the same time and never thought about paying it back. They would even dare to lend you a loan with 10000% interest, but it was impossible to pay back the money. If you paid it back, who would dare to lend you money in the future? This was the Creed of his old brothers.
Prince Lian replied, ” it’s impossible to use Dragon’s regret, but we can launch it on your behalf to attack the new Qian Kingdom or stupa mountain. We can launch two at once. Of course, you can decide the specific target, but it must be approved by the Yan capital.
Even though Shen lang had expected this, he was still shocked.
This world was too dark. The Empire of Great Yan had actually joined forces with Shen lang to set Ying Guang up.
This was probably like the United States lending a nuclear bomb to light up to bomb a certain country?
Shen lang said, ” although it’s better to just lend me the Dragon’s regret, I can accept it. I’m not picky.
Prince Lian said,”Your Majesty Shen lang knows that the Dragon’s regret is the world’s most powerful strategic killing weapon. It is priceless.” Last time, you were willing to risk your life for one or two Dragon’s regret. So, what price are you willing to pay for two Dragon’s regret?”
Shen lang slammed the table and said, ” I am the most generous person. One million gold coins.
The Lian Prince’s face twitched.
Shen lang, f * ck you. Try buying two Dragon’s regret for me with one million gold coins. Why don’t you sell your Dragon’s regret to me for 2000000 gold coins?
“Is this price not acceptable?” Shen lang said, ” that’s a little low. Then, I’ll give you a higher price. A price that will make your heart jump.
“Please speak,” Prince Lian said.
“I will cede a province in the East of the great Qian Kingdom to the great Yan Empire,” Shen lang said.
Eh? Such humiliation? Is he such a prodigal? Isn’t this even worse than Yuan Shikai’s 21?
“Are you talking about the Hedong province of the DA Qian Kingdom?” Prince Lian asked.
Shen lang nodded and said, ” that’s right. This province is 190000 square kilometers. I’m using it to exchange for two Dragon’s regret. This price is shocking enough, right? it’s creepy enough.
“That’s right, the price is indeed shocking,” Prince Lian said. However, Your Majesty Shen lang, Hedong province now belongs to Ying Guang and his son. Are you going to give up the territory of the Ying clan in exchange for the Dragon’s regret of the great Yan Empire?”
“The new Qian Kingdom is also an inseparable part of the great Qian Empire. Therefore, the Hedong province belongs to me as well, right?” Shen lang said.
The Lian Prince’s face twitched again. His chest was so tight that he felt like it was going to explode.
He already knew that Shen lang was shameless, but he did not expect him to be so shameless even after becoming the monarch of great Qian.
This price was shocking enough. It was like Russia saying to the European Union that they would cede the eastern half of Germany to them as long as they paid 100 billion euros.
What? What do you think eastern Germany has to do with Russia? A few decades ago, East Germany belonged to the Soviet Union, and was a part of our fasa organization.
The Lian Prince finally knew that the normal negotiation with Shen lang was not feasible. You want to bargain? It was impossible. If one dared to ask for a sky-high price, Shen lang would dare to agree to it.
“We want one thing, your special flying beast,” the Lian Prince immediately offered. As long as you agree to hand it over to us, we are willing to shoot two Dragon’s regrets for you to attack the new Qian Kingdom and stupa mountain. This price shouldn’t be too high, right? no matter how precious that flying beast of yours is, it can’t be compared to two Dragon’s regret.”
Shen lang laughed, ” you’re right. You wanted to shoot the two Dragon’s regrets. You know that I’ve broken away from the control of Ying Guang and stupa mountain, so they can no longer launch Dragon’s regret and pose a strategic threat to the Empire of Great Yan. That’s why the Yan capital wants to punish Ying Guang. That’s why you launched two Dragon’s regret to attack Xin Qian Kingdom and stupa mountain. Moreover, you’re not willing to publicly fall out with Ying Guang, and you’re even more unwilling to publicly admit that you used Dragon’s regret to destroy the vassal states of the Great Yan Dynasty. “So, use my name to launch it. I can’t be the scapegoat for nothing. So, not only can I not pay, but you also have to pay me in order for me to lend you my name to launch Dragon’s regret.”
Ugh!
The Lian Prince almost vomited blood. Shen lang was simply shameless.
“The Empire of Great Yan launched two Dragon’s regrets to attack Ying Guang and stupa mountain for you, and we still have to pay you?” “Your Majesty Shen lang, you can’t be so shameless,” Prince Lian said.
Shen lang said, ” Lian Prince, please get this straight. You were the ones who wanted to launch the Dragon’s regret to attack Ying Guang and stupa mountain. Then, you made me the scapegoat. Am I, Shen lang, a terrorist? ” He was like a brick of revolution, moving to wherever he needed it. Besides, after I’ve rescued Jin Jun, I’ll become even stronger. Won’t I be able to fight Ying Guang and stupa mountain even more evenly and cause both sides to suffer? This is completely in line with the interests of the Empire of Great Yan.”
Prince Lian looked at Shen lang for a long time and said, ” since that’s the case, there’s no need to discuss further. We don’t have to launch the two Dragon’s regrets. We can watch as Jin Jun’s tens of thousands of people die in the ancient ruins of the Vajra peak. We can also watch as Ying Wuming’s Army destroys the capital of the Chu Kingdom. Then, Emperor Shen lang will be completely helpless and your reputation will be ruined.”
Shen lang said,”is there a mistake, Lian Prince?” Now, it’s your Empire of Yan who wants to sit on the mountain and watch the Tigers fight. It’s your job to help the weak and exterminate the strong, after all, you’re the Overlord. Since you can’t increase my strength, then there’s a need to weaken the strength of Ying Guang and stupa mountain. On this point, my interests are completely aligned with the Yan capital’s. And now, you’re actually going to disrupt the strategic deployment of the great Yan Empire for such a small profit? Are you all that short-sighted?”
“Your Majesty Shen lang, do you mean that we’re asking you to agree to help us launch two Dragon’s regrets to attack Ying Guang and stupa mountain?” the Lian Prince roared. Are we still begging you to let us save your Chu royal capital and save Jin Jun?”
Shen lang said, ” you don’t have to beg. Although I am an enemy of the Yan capital, we have common interests occasionally. Since we are heading in the same direction, why don’t we have sex? we are both willing parties. What is there to beg? ”
Eh?
After a long while, the Lian Prince was speechless. He was thinking,”I know you’re talking nonsense, but it’s too shameless. I have nothing to refute you with.”
“Then there’s no need to talk. Goodbye.” Prince Lian immediately stood up and left.
“I won’t send you off.” Shen lang said.
“Emperor Shen lang, I hope that you can find a way to save Jin Jun, save the Chu royal capital, or even the Yue royal capital. You don’t have much time left, and once your reputation is ruined, there will be no turning back.” Prince Lian said.
I’ve already lost my reputation a few times, ” Shen lang said. I don’t care at all.
After that, Prince Lian really left.
........................
“Did the Lian Prince leave, or did he pretend to leave?” Shen lang asked.
“It looks like he’s really gone,” Zhang Chunhua said.
“He will come back,” Shen lang said.
“Why?” Zhang Chunhua asked.
Shen lang said,”Great Yan’s Emperor is in closed-door cultivation, and the Crown Prince is in charge of the Yan capital.” Although he was also very outstanding, he could not compare to the Emperor. Last time, Ying Guang had launched Dragon’s regret and destroyed the main city of Yulan. In the end, the Crown Prince of Great Yan had said that it was an earthquake, and his saliva had dried on his own face. After that, Ying Wuming had represented stupa mountain to attend the Supreme power conference, which was a slap in the face for the Yan capital. when I was in Ying Guang’s hands, the newly established Kingdom was able to use Dragon’s regret to intimidate the Yan capital. The great Yan Crown Prince could only swallow his anger because his main strategy was to watch as both Ying Guang and I suffered losses while the Yan capital reaped the benefits. Now that I’m out of Ying Guang’s control, how can the Crown Prince of Great Yan not take revenge? Can you bear with this? How many people in Yan capital were watching the Crown Prince, wondering if he could inherit the throne? Therefore, he will definitely return this slap.”
Zhang Chunhua nodded in agreement.
“Therefore, no matter what, the Yan capital wants to deal a fatal blow to Ying Guang and stupa mountain. They need to use my name.” Because Ying Wuming had claimed to support the great Yan Empire and the Yan capital had also claimed to be loyal to the Ying family, he still had to wear this mask. no matter whether I agree or not, the Yan capital has to launch the two Dragon’s regrets. Why should I pay for it? ” It’s already good enough that I didn’t ask them for money. It’s good enough that I’m the one to take the blame.”
“So, we’re completely in cahoots with the Yan capital this time?” Zhang Chunhua asked.
“Yes, that’s right,” Shen lang said.
“Husband, what do we do next?” “Do we need to send someone to the Yan capital?” Zhang Chunhua asked.
Shen lang said, ” there’s no need for that. Soon, the Lian Prince will come looking for us again. By then, we will have to ask for an exorbitant price and choose two targets to destroy. At the same time, we can also test how powerful the Empire of Yan is, especially if it can carry out super-long-range strategic attacks.
..................
As expected, just two days later.
This Prince Lian of the great Yan Empire had once again secretly appeared in the large castle of the raging tide city.
“Where is His Majesty Shen lang? I need to start a new round of negotiations with him.” Prince Lian said.
“I’m very sorry, Your Highness. His Majesty is not here,” Zhang Chunhua said.
“Don’t push your luck and don’t trample on the Empire of Great Yan’s patience. Such a method of playing hard to get is a joke,” Prince Lian said with a trembling voice.
Just as Shen lang had expected, the Yan capital’s intention to launch a strategic attack on Ying Guang and stupa mountain was very strong. They would carry out the attack even without Shen lang.
But where were the two Dragon’s regrets from Yan capital aimed at? This meant that he had to negotiate with Shen lang. If Shen lang wanted to shoot at a fixed target, for example, the stupa mountain and the Ying Guang Alliance Army outside the Vajra peak, he would have to completely erase that powerful main force from this world. He had to pay a certain price to completely break free from the trap of a demi-god.
Therefore, the Lian Prince came to negotiate again.
Of course, there was a fatal problem. The firing device of Dragon’s power was huge and cumbersome. Yan capital was more than 10000 miles away from King Kong peak, and Dragon’s Regret’s shooting range was less than 500 miles. He wanted to cross the newly established Kingdom and the territory of stupa mountain to transport Dragon’s power and Dragon’s regret to 500 miles away from King Kong peak before launching them? This was almost impossible.
Therefore, Shen lang wanted to test if the Empire of Great Yan had any long-range strategic attack capabilities. This was extremely crucial.
In fact, the concept of long-range strategic attack did not exist in this world. Shen lang came from the modern earth, which was why he had such a view. This was because the most important thing on modern earth was the Super long-range nuclear strike ability.
However, Shen lang did not know if the Empire of Great Yan had the ability to do so. If they did, then Qianqian would be too terrifying.
Of course, if it could really be realized and the powerful main Army of Ying Guang and stupa mountain outside the Vajra peak was destroyed, it would be enough to give the entire world, Ying Guang and stupa mountain an unprecedented shock. It would be enough to completely shock the world.
“I’m very sorry, Lian Prince Consort. Our Emperor really didn’t mean to play any tricks with you. He really isn’t in raging tide city. Can you please wait for two or three days?” “He’ll definitely be back to negotiate with you soon,” Zhang Chunhua said.
Then, was Shen lang playing hard to get and deliberately avoiding meeting the Lian Prince?
It really wasn’t, because an accident had happened, and it was an extremely surprising accident.
He had actually discovered an ancient ruin?
To be precise, it wasn’t him who found it, but rather, it was super. It had nothing to do recently, so it had been playing crazily at the bottom of the sea every day. In the end, a few hundred miles away from raging tide city, it actually found an amazing Whirlpool, which seemed to be hiding an ancient ruin.
Therefore, Shen lang abandoned everything and went to explore. He had a feeling that he was going to make a fortune again.
