Chapter 198: Good news in the palace of the Earl! Shen lang enters the palace!
Translator: 549690339
A vassal’s vassal is not my vassal.
This rule was very popular in the feudal kingdoms of the West, but it was not so popular in the eastern world.
Our Great Yan Empire has its own national conditions.
But even so, the king had already stepped on the bottom line of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu by appointing Jin Shiying as the raging tide city Lord.
Although many of our ancestors ‘rules have been broken because of the new policies, your rules are too bad.
In the end, under Shen Lang’s persuasion, uncle Black Tortoise held back.
Now, there was another imperial decree.
Summon Shen lang to the capital?
Black Tortoise immediately couldn’t take it anymore, and his expression changed.
The eunuch said, ” young master Shen, please accept the edict. It’s a great thing that the king has summoned you. Get ready and set off immediately.
“Eunuch Liu, are you also going to wait in Xuanwu city and prepare to enter the capital with my son-in-law?” uncle Black Tortoise asked.
This was what he had done to Jin mucong last time. The eunuch seemed to be escorting Jin mucong into the capital.
you must be joking, uncle Xuanwu, ” the eunuch replied. we’ve already delivered the decree anyway. As for whether we’ll go or not, it’s up to you to decide.
After that, the eunuch left.
............
“I’m not going!”
“I’m not going!”
The Earl of Black Tortoise and his wife said in unison.
“I’m not going.”
Jin Shiying, the new master of furious tide city, said.
Originally, he had been in charge of military affairs in raging tide city. In the end, the king conferred him the title of the raging tide city Lord, so he no longer went to raging tide city. Instead, he focused on the defense of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
He had already decided that unless the Earl of Black Tortoise, Jin Zhuo, was in raging tide city, he would not stay in raging tide city alone, and he would not have any military power.
Jin Shiying said, ” our King does not have any mercy like the late King. He is extremely mean and ungrateful. What can he do if Guye does not go to the capital? ” Let’s just drag it out like this.”
Previously, Jin Shiying was a man of few words.
But now, he had to express his position where he could, and his position was very clear and firm.
Old master Lin said, ” anyway, the Wu country’s emissaries come in waves. The one who should be anxious should be the Emperor. Isn’t he afraid of another upheaval in Yan Zhou? ”
Su Peipei said, ” the capital is like a dragon’s pool or a Tiger’s Den. I’m afraid lang ‘er will suffer if he goes. I’m not going!
“No, I’m going,” Shen lang said with a smile.
Everyone was shocked.
The way the king did things simply displayed the unpredictable changes of a King to the extreme.
First, he issued three edicts in a row to reward Zhang Ji for his so-called achievement in eliminating the Pirate King, Qiu Tianwei.
Just when everyone thought that Zhang Ji was on the rise, a case of corruption threw Zhang Ji into jail.
As a result, countless people threw stones at him when he was down, and memorials to impeach him flew into the palace like snowflakes, almost wanting to cut Zhang Ji into a thousand pieces.
In the end, they all hit the bullseye, and the Registrar who jumped the most died in prison.
Whoever wants to kill Zhang Ji, I’ll kill you first.
It was the same for the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
Overstepping his authority and bestowing Jin Shiying with the title of raging tide city, he had provoked the bottom line of the Earl of Black Tortoise.
He then summoned Shen lang to the capital as if he was about to devour him.
In short, he just didn’t want you to guess what he was going to do. He just wanted to make people feel that the power of heaven was unpredictable.
Shen lang said, ” the king is like a tiger. We were originally deer. He could kill us easily. However, once we enter the sea, we’ll turn from a deer into a sea snake. The Tiger won’t be able to go into the sea for the time being and can’t kill us. What will it do then?”
Uncle Black Tortoise said, ” it roared at the sea and tore the other deer on the shore into pieces. It was an awe-inspiring sight. Its killing intent soared into the sky.
Shen lang said,”yes!” To a certain extent, the Tang family took the blame for the king. The king doesn’t hate him at all, but in order to intimidate us and the other old aristocratic families, he directly cut Tang Lun at the waist and killed half of the entire Tang family. This is killing the chicken to warn the monkeys.”
“The person he hates the most right now is not us, but Zhang Ji. Before this, he thought so highly of Zhang Ji and treated him as the blade of the new governance. Even before he completed the mission of Nujiang County, he had already planned for his next position, governor of Yanzhou.”
“The king has indeed put in a lot of effort in nurturing Zhang Ji. Let him be a cruel official twice, once in Dongjiang city and once in Nujiang County. After that, we wanted him to see the big picture in Yanzhou, so that he could have some achievements in diplomacy, military, and politics. We wanted to treat him as a loyal subject, but in the end, Zhang Ji was defeated in Nujiang County.”
“In our eyes, Zhang Ji is already extremely powerful. He’s already taken the other half of Leizhou. To turn the tide and stop the situation from developing in the worst direction, it’s not a failure.”
but in the eyes of the monarch, a loss is a loss. He doesn’t look at the process, only the result.
with Zhang Ji’s defeat, the new governance suffered a huge setback, and the monarch lost face. From the bottom of his heart, he really wanted to kill Zhang Ji immediately.
“But he still managed to calm down and used a trivial charge of corruption to lock Zhang Ye up in the Supreme Court’s prison. He didn’t try him, didn’t sentence him, and didn’t let him go. He just hid him.”
“Now that the new political situation has been suspended, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu is going to be King across the sea. What was the most important thing to a monarch? Prestige and face.”
“That’s why he wants to kill until blood flows like a river, to make people tremble in fear.”
it’s like a tiger returning to its nest. Instead, it deliberately roars in the forest, making the beasts kneel on the ground and not dare to make a sound.
“If he really wanted to fight or kill, he would be gentle and ask about his well-being. If it intended to withdraw its claws, it would instead be filled with killing intent and intimidate everyone.”
“So as soon as I enter the capital, the decree to confer the title of father-in-law will probably come.”
After Shen Lang’s analysis, uncle Xuanwu and the rest were amazed.
Originally, he had not known what the monarch’s recent actions were and did not know what this Supreme martial artist wanted to do.
He was also filled with apprehension and fear.
In fact, uncle Black Tortoise was almost prepared to reveal the news of him negotiating with the Wu country. He was almost about to use this final move.
However, all of this was just the king’s Bluff, a crazy test of the Jin family.
After hearing Shen Lang’s analysis, the situation became clear.
“And even if the king doesn’t summon me to the capital, I will still go myself.” Shen lang gritted his teeth and said, ” su jianting actually barged into our house. Not only did he kill more than 100 people, but he also injured mother-in-law and Mulan. If I don’t take revenge for this, how can I still show off? If I don’t annihilate the SU family, I’m not fit to be Mulan’s husband, nor am I fit to be mother-in-law’s son-in-law.”
Su Peipei was overjoyed to hear this.
“Kill, kill them all!” His mother-in-law had always been very clear about what she loved and hated. Her personality was the exact opposite of uncle Black Tortoise’s.
“Lang ‘er, if the king wants to test me, why didn’t he summon me?” That’ll be even more legitimate.”
Shen lang said,”the king knows what kind of person you are.” And the king still doesn’t know what kind of person I am. He wants to make sure if our family will rebel.”
These words couldn’t be more correct.
Not only was the monarch able to see count Xuanwu clearly, everyone knew him as well.
Even after Tang Lun was captured by count Xuanwu, he wasn’t worried about his own safety at all. When uncle Black Tortoise agreed to let Tang Lun go, the other party immediately believed him.
Even his enemy trusted him completely. Shen lang did not know if he should be proud of his father-in-law’s character or feel helpless.
Shen lang?
Tsk!
I can’t believe a single punctuation mark you said.
The characters of these two people, one was infinite positive, the other was infinite negative. She really didn’t know how this pair of father-in-law and son-in-law would get along.
Shen lang said, ” therefore, whether the Jin family revolts or not, the key lies with me. It’s not father-in-law. The king summoned me to see if I had any intention of rebelling. I also hope that I, this scourge, will stay away from father-in-law, so that the Jin family won’t continue to expand.”
Su Peipei said, ” the king will probably be disappointed. Rebellion is such a tiring thing. I don’t like it. Lang ‘er doesn’t like it either.
Shen lang said, ” that’s right. I only have two goals in this world. First, enjoy wealth and glory. Second, there is no enmity between us.”
These words sounded really magnanimous.
He had no enemies in the world.
There were two explanations for this. One was that he was very broad-minded and never made enemies.
Another way of saying it was to kill all those who offended me, so that I would have no enemies.
Master lang was obviously the latter.
............
In the courtyard!
“Wife, don’t worry, I definitely won’t have an affair when I go to the capital this time.”
you can trust my character. You’ve met Zhang Chunhua before. She’s so beautiful and sly. I didn’t cheat on her even when she seduced me like that.
you’ve met Xu Qianqian. This woman is shameless. She tried every means to seduce me on the ship, but I’ve never been nice to her. In the end, she came to you to borrow money and not me because she’s too ashamed to see me.
Xu Qianqian did not hear those words. Otherwise, she would have scolded Shen lang to death.
You scumbag, I don’t want to see you, not that I don’t dare to see you.
You scoundrel, no matter what I pay, you won’t give me anything in return.
You’re a scumbag with no character. I, Xu Qianqian, have suffered more losses from you than I’ve eaten salt in my life.
Shen lang promised that he would stay clean.
However, Mulan did not listen to him. She did not even have the time to think about Shen Lang’s actions.
The thought of Shen lang leaving her made her feel terrible. During this period of time, the two of them were like conjoined twins. How could she bear to be apart for a day?
The thought of her husband not being by her side, unable to hear his words, unable to smell his scent, made Mulan feel extremely anxious.
There were a few times when she wanted to ask him to go with her to the capital.
But thinking about it, it was impossible. She had a heavy responsibility.
Her father and Jin Shiying were in raging tide city all year round, and the defense of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu fell on her shoulders.
This was the first time that Mulan wanted to kill Jin mucong.
You good-for-nothing, if you were a little more powerful, I would be stuck with my husband like glue.
Shen lang said gently, ” baby, is there a secret manual that is extremely powerful? is there one that can allow you to become a Grandmaster after a year or so? ”
Mulan did not want to hear any of that. She just wanted to be with Shen lang.
“No, I didn’t,”
Nine Yin Manual, nine yang divine technique, star sucking technique, and North deep divine technique, ” Shen lang said. you don’t have any of these? ”
“No, I didn’t!”
Shen lang said,”why not?” “Then what’s the point of practicing martial arts in this world? it takes more than ten years to become a Grandmaster. Who has that kind of Kung Fu? the pace of this world is so fast, what they want is to reach level 999 with one strike. It’s boring to practice martial arts slowly. No one would want to play if the experience points increase slowly.”
Mulan was speechless. She was the only one who could understand her husband’s nonsense.
He still remembered Shen Lang’s request to train for an hour a day. If he did not work too hard, he would become a top-tier master within a year.
There was no way to communicate with such a martial Dao idiot.
“Is there any internal strength that can be cultivated for ten years in one year?” Shen lang asked.
“No, I didn’t,”
“One year is equivalent to five years?” Shen lang asked.
Mulan bit Shen Lang’s shoulder and said, ” “No, I didn’t! Stop talking about martial arts, I just want to quietly hug you, don’t be so noisy.”
“Is there anything that can replace three years ‘worth of food with one year?” Shen lang asked after a moment of silence.
Mulan raised her head and said,”husband, are you looking down on my low martial arts?” You’ve seen how powerful Chou Yao ‘er is, so you’re despising me now, right?”
Shen Lang’s scalp turned numb. He quickly shook his head and said, ” “No, no, how is that possible! How can a weak scum like me despise my wife’s martial arts?”
In fact, master lang really couldn’t wait any longer.
He still wanted to train his wife to become the number one master in the world.
Now, it seemed that the difficulty wasn’t small.
Some people didn’t need to be trained, and they could be the best in the world.
For example, da Sha and Chou Yao ‘er.
However, how I wish that one day, I would bring Mulan to knock Qiu Yao ‘er to the ground with a single palm strike.
What’s there to be proud of?
Shen lang said,”wife, when will you be the best in the world?” Even in my dreams, I’ve been thinking of a scene where I’ll bring you directly in front of Chou Yao ‘er one day, pointing at her and teasing her. Then, you charge forward and kill her with a single slap.”
Mulan suddenly sat up.
I also have this dream!
I, Jin Mulan, even in my dreams, want to slap this demoness, Chou Yao ‘er, to death. She’s her biggest enemy.
Following that, Mulan also became serious and said, ” “My teacher said that there’s an ancient secret inner force skill. It’s very powerful and can be cultivated with half the effort.”
“Just tell me that one year of cultivation is equivalent to a few years of normal cultivation,” Shen lang said.
Mulan was helpless. Martial arts were very profound and sacred. Husband, must you use such an innocent tone?
“Probably one year is equivalent to two years.”
“So useless?” Shen lang said.
Mulan was speechless.
This was still trash? this was clearly a very heaven-defying internal art secret manual, alright?
Furthermore, this was a legendary-level secret manual. His teachers, Zhong chuke and Li qianqiu, had never seen it before.
Shen lang said,”wife, what’s the name of this secret manual?” I’ll get it for you. Is it in the sky-Sea Pavilion?”
“Are you planning to use your beauty to trick Zhang Yuyin into giving it to you?” Mulan asked.
“How is this possible?” “Even if I use my beauty as a bait, I promise that nothing will really happen,” Shen lang said.
“It’s not in the sky-Sea Pavilion,” Mulan said.
“What’s its name?” Shen lang asked.
“” Hell marriage technique.”” “But teacher doesn’t know where it is,” Mulan said.
Shen lang said, ” sure. I will remember it. I will definitely get it. I will give it to you as a 22-year-old present.
“You’re so annoying, shut up.” don’t talk about my age, ” Mulan said. I will always be the same age as you.
Mulan was two and a half years older than Shen lang, but he still could not get over it. However, master lang loved women older than him.
.......................................
At night!
Shen lang accompanied his parents for dinner.
When he heard that Shen lang was going to the capital, his parents were very worried and stopped talking.
But in the end, he did not say anything.
There was a palm print on his younger brother’s face.
“Who did it?” Shen lang asked.
Shen Jian didn’t dare to speak. He looked up at his mother. It was obvious that it was his own mother who had hit him.
“What’s wrong?” Shen lang asked.
Mother said,”your brother is from a poor family and is always shady. I’m just worried that he won’t be able to find a wife.” In the end, the in-laws introduced a girl to us. She’s also a girl from our village. She’s well-educated, and her father is a scholar who teaches in the palace of the Earl. Her grandfather is the Earl’s trusted aide. Do you know old master Lin?”
How could he not know old master Lin?
He was definitely one of them.
He was the most loyal retainer of the palace of the Earl, and he was also the foster son of the old Earl. He had a very high status.
His mother-in-law had actually introduced Master Lin’s granddaughter to his brother, Shen Jian?
Shen lang had seen that girl before. She was gentle and timid.
“And then?”
“Even old master Lin agreed to it. That girl has seen your brother and actually agreed. I really don’t know what she’s thinking.”
Chen Jian was speechless.
Am I your son? Am I that unpopular? the girl likes me, but she says she’s blind?
Am I that useless? Can’t there be girls who like him?
His mother continued,”of course I’m happy to have a good girl like miss Lin as my daughter-in-law. I’ll quickly stabilize the relationship between our two families.” In the end, do you know what that bastard Shen Jian said? he said that he won’t marry miss Lin, but he wants to marry widow Liu from Maple Leaf Village.”
Ah?
Shen lang was shocked.
Little brother, are you really that infatuated?
He was still thinking about widow Liu?
Do you like women who are older than you that much?
More importantly, that woman was seven or eight years older than you.
Not every woman was like Chou Yao ‘er, who could never age.
His mother said,”we’re about to get engaged, but this bastard insists that he won’t marry miss Lin. He wants to marry widow Liu. How can I not be angry?” I only slapped him a few times, and I only stopped when you got home, dalang. Otherwise, I would have continued slapping him. After I’m done, your father will continue.”
At that moment, Mulan was carefully removing the fish bones for Shen lang and feeding him the fresh fish. When she heard her mother-in-law’s interesting words, she could not help but laugh.
Instantly, the way her mother looked at Mulan was about to melt.
AI!
What a great fortune! He had actually married such a good daughter-in-law.
She was the daughter of an aristocrat, yet she pampered Shen lang into a dandy who was given everything he wanted.
“Chen Jian, your brother and sister-in-law are here too, so I’ll make things clear to you,” his mother said. This marriage was arranged by my in-law, if you dare to disagree, I will beat you to death. Anyway, I have my son, you are the same as me. ”
“But Zhenzhen’s son promised widow Liu that he would marry her after he became rich.” Chen Jian’s neck shrunk as he said timidly.
“Then, did widow Liu agree to your request?” Shen lang asked.
Shen Jian said even more timidly,”there’s no Zhenzhen.”
Shen lang was speechless. Even widow Liu’s side was one-sided.
....................................
After the meal.
Mulan accompanied her mother as she sewed.
Although it was not written in the article, Shen lang and Mulan spent half of their time in the palace of the Earl and the other half at their parents ‘house.
The Shen family was very imposing now.
Shen lang was rich and flashy. He built a huge mansion that was dozens of acres in size.
There were pavilions, gardens, ponds, and everything.
It was not even one-fifth completed yet, but it was already inhabitable.
Shen lang brought his brother to The Unfinished Garden.
“Little brother, tell me what you’re thinking.” Shen lang said, ” I’ve seen that widow Liu before. She’s not bad-looking, but she’s a little fat. Her waist is not thin enough, and her skin is not fair enough.
Ugh!
Chen Jian was speechless.
Shen lang said, ” if it was in the past, your parents would wake up laughing in their dreams if you could marry such a wife. But now that our family is rich, you have to set your sights higher. You have to marry a beauty, a beauty from a good family, and have style.”
The younger brother, Chen Jian, felt that the older brother’s words were too unrefined and vulgar.
Brother, you’ve done so many great things. I originally thought you were like a god.
Now that you’re so tacky, aren’t you ruining my idol?
Shen lang said, ” I have seen old master Lin’s granddaughter before. She is very innocent and pure. She is also beautiful and refined. You don’t want such a good wife and want to marry widow Liu. Are you out of your mind? ”
Most importantly, marrying widow Liu was also Chen Jian’s one-sided wish.
After a long while, Chen Jian said,”brother, this is what I think.” It’s because of you that I’m able to enjoy such wealth and glory. I’m just a good-for-nothing from a poor family. I, Yingluo, am not worthy of miss Lin.”
Shen lang was stunned.’So that’s what you think. You’re feeling inferior.’
“Do you like miss Lin?” Shen lang asked.
“Who wouldn’t like a beautiful, well-born, and cultured girl?” Shen Jian replied. However, I’m worried that he won’t be willing. Because the Countess is the matchmaker, the Lin family doesn’t dare to disagree, but wouldn’t this be unfair to miss Lin? so if I take the initiative to say that I won’t marry, his family will be able to reject it. ”
Shen lang patted the back of his brother’s head and said, ” “A loser’s mentality, a loser’s mentality is not good.”
Then, Shen lang pulled his brother into the palace of the Earl and went to miss Lin.
Before he even got close, miss Lin’s face was already red, and she wanted to hide her head in her neck.
She was indeed pretty, but timid and shy.
“Lin Yinyin, do you like my younger brother, Chen Jian?” he was worried that he wasn’t good enough for you, ” Shen lang said. he didn’t dare to marry you. My mother beat him up.
Chen Jian was instantly extremely embarrassed, wishing that a crack would appear on the ground and he could crawl in.
“Brother, I, I’ll be leaving first Yingluo.”
Shen lang grabbed him.
Lin Yinyin quickly nodded and ran off even faster.
The girl was not lying. She really liked Chen Jian.
Why?
This was because his father was a scholar, and so was his grandfather. The whole family was concerned about him, and it was not interesting at all.
Especially his father, who was extremely pedantic.
Chen Jian had a good heart and was quite interesting. The key was that he was the younger brother of the son-in-law.
What’s wrong with this marriage?
The next day, the two families settled the matter.
The Lin family and the Shen family were officially engaged.
..............................
The next day, Shen lang left the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu and headed to the capital.
It was a very Grand display.
His clothes alone were enough to fit a few carriages.
Shen thirteen and dozens of Warriors of the palace of the Earl followed.
Huang Feng and the 19 experts of the heavenly Dao Association followed.
There were over a hundred of them, and they looked majestic and imposing.
Mulan and her mother-in-law first sent him 30 miles away, then another 30 miles, and finally, they sent him 100 miles away.
Only then did they reluctantly part.
In the end, Shen lang and Mulan had completed the achievement of shaking the carriage.
Three days later!
When Shen lang arrived at the capital, he went straight to the palace and requested to meet the monarch!
