“I didn’t expect that one day, I’d actually pretend to be old like su Nan.”
The king, ning yuanxian, sighed.
His hair was originally a little white, but now it was almost completely white.
Not only that, he had been eating very light food for the past month, and he had lost about 10 pounds.
With some deliberate dressing, he looked like he had aged twenty years.
He was already in his fifties. He looked like he was in his thirties before, but now he looked like he was in his seventies.
There was no other way. The world only believed what they were willing to believe.
Whether it was the common people or the officials, they all believed that ning yuanxian had suffered a stroke, and that he was on horseback. He probably did not have long to live.
This was because stroke could easily relapse, and once it did, death was certain.
At this moment, even if ning yuanxian stood up and said that I’m fine, it would be of no use.
Since that was the case, he might as well act to the extreme.
He appeared to be extremely weak.
In this month, he did not go to court and was still the Crown Prince in charge of the country.
Of course, ning yuanxian would have to handle the important matters himself.
“AI!” Ning yuanxian put down the memorial in his hand.
He was no longer angry at this time. Otherwise, he would have almost died from anger.
The people of this world were too realistic, be it the common people or the officials.
A few months ago, because he had eliminated su Nan’s rebellion and won the battle of Wuyue, how glorious was he, ning yuanxian?
What was the peak of reputation?
Then when did his reputation start to deteriorate?
It was all because of lunatic LAN and the ten beggars.
At that time, ning yuanxian allowed them to participate in the Enke civil and military examination, and it caused an uproar.
Every day, the censors and officials would criticize him for treating the imperial examination as a game. On the surface, they were criticizing Shen lang, but in reality, they were pointing their swords at him.
And the result?
LAN lunatic high school’s jieyuan.
The ten brothers of the LAN family were all named on the Golden roll.
The facts proved that he was not a fatuous ruler, but a wise man who recognized talents.
Ning yuanxian felt so good that he had slapped the whole world in the face.
It was also at that time that his reputation became even worse.
This group of civil and military officials had clearly been wrong, so they had been slapped in the face. Countless scholars had also been wrong.
But he didn’t care about right or wrong.
It was precisely because they were wrong that they hated the king, ning yuanxian, even more, and even regarded him as an enemy.
Of course, ning yuanxian was, after all, a King, a scholar, and some civil and military officials. Even if they were hostile to him, they could do nothing.
But they could ruin your reputation.
At this time, ning yuanxian fell ill.
In an instant, countless rumors and gossip exploded.
The Emperor was immediately ill, and he had a stroke because of his severe punishment.
There were even some who said that the king doted on Shen lang because he was handsome and had an unspeakable relationship.
The sovereign and his subjects were eternal enemies.
This was a truth that had never changed.
In this world, it was either subjects manipulating the king, or the king manipulating the subjects. Of course, most of the time, it was mutual manipulation.
In the Ming Dynasty, an expert in manipulating officials appeared, Emperor Jiajing.
He had completely manipulated the officials to the point where they wished they were dead. Who knew how many powerful officials had been manipulated by him until they died.
However, after he grew slightly older and his Lackey Yan Song was killed, it was his turn to be manipulated by his officials. After his death, he did not even get a good title.
Su sect was probably a little better than Emperor Yi, but it was also below average. It means that you’re a very mean and unkind person.
The king, ning yuanxian, was also an expert at manipulating his officials. In his 20 years in power, countless officials had been manipulated to death by him. He was definitely mean and ruthless.
However, he was stronger than Emperor Jiajing in one aspect. He basically didn’t touch the important officials of the country.
No matter how big the trouble was, he would definitely not touch the foundation.
On the Minister’s platform, the pillars of the Bureau of Military Affairs were still stable. Of course, su Nan was an exception. He was already rebellious.
But now, this Foundation was also a little loose.
The foundation of the Civil officials was Prime Minister Zhu hongzhu, and the foundation of the generals was Grand Commandant Zhong Yao.
Two months ago, on the surface, Prime Minister Zhu hongzhu was completely on the side of the Emperor. He suppressed the troublemaking of the failed candidates and put an end to a drastic change in the bud.
But this also sent a signal. When he, Zhu Hong, spoke, it was like a tiger roaring in the forest.
Hence, many civil officials followed him.
“Lunatic LAN, the ten brothers of the LAN family, Enke, have all entered high school. I can be considered to have offended all of these civil and military officials.” The king, ning yuanxian, sighed. but what’s funny is that they’re clearly in the wrong in this matter, and yet they want to blame me. Are they looking at talent and not taking it? ” Do they want to monopolize the civil and military examinations?”
“That’s what they mean.” The head eunuch Li Xun thought to himself, but he did not say it out loud. Eunuchs were not allowed to meddle in politics.
“I’ve only been ill for a moment, and I haven’t even collapsed yet, but these officials can’t wait to find a new support?” The monarch laughed coldly. look at the neutral faction in the Imperial court. They took up a third of the court. Now, they are like birds and beasts scattering. They are all going to seek refuge with the new master.
“What did I do? To make them bear such a grudge and curse me?”
The people who hurt the king the most were the Crown Prince and the third Prince, ning Qi.
Previously, even if the two of them had a fight, it was completely in the dark. They fought but did not break through, so it could be considered a kind of benign competition.
And now?
After ning yuanxian fell ill.
The struggle between the two of them instantly became intense.
For the position of the governor of Tianxi province, countless officials had been sent to prison and exiled.
This signal was actually very dangerous.
Once the country entered a factional dispute, it would enter a vicious circle.
Whatever development or diplomatic relations, they would all be affected or even put aside.
The intense factional Wars would be like a black hole that would devour everything.
At that time, there would be no right or wrong, only the same party attacking the different.
And now, with ning yuanxian’s illness, the factional dispute had begun.
Not only that, but political disputes were also a form of contempt for the king, ning yuanxian.
Previously, the healthy competition between the Crown Prince and the third Prince had been constantly displayed. They had even made ning yuanxian the arbitrator to see who was more outstanding and more suitable to be the heir of the country.
But now, the two sides were fighting intensely. They had almost thrown ning yuanxian, the arbitrator, aside.
The two of us will fight directly, and whoever wins will inherit the throne.
Does that mean that I, the king, should also watch from the side?
Of course, it had not reached this stage yet, but there were already signs.
The two parties ‘case of reselling military grain and embezzlement of mo Army funds was not only the beginning of the factional dispute, but also a test for ning yuanxian.
Let’s see if ning yuanxian will suppress it or not.
Once the monarch chose to suppress and completely quieten this battle, he would also need great prestige.
Otherwise, he would definitely become a pot of raw rice and be regarded as an incompetent gruel.
That was why ning yuanxian felt so miserable.
He had just fallen ill, and now he was being neglected and attacked.
He had suffered a stroke in a woman’s belly, and in order to please the King of Chu, he had signed a humiliating contract, using the name of a ridiculous border hunting competition to cede the interests of Yue country.
If this wasn’t a fatuous ruler, what was it?
And at this time, what could he use to suppress the two young and ambitious princes?
It lacked enough authority.
If he forcefully suppressed it, it would definitely turn into a smooth battle, and it would be even more laughable.
He thought of the King of Wu in the North, where the Great Purge was in full swing.
Ning yuanxian could not help but feel envious. It was good to be young.
But ning yuanxian was also a ruthless man.
Don’t you think I’m old? Had he become weaker due to his illness?
Then I’ll show you how old I am and how weak I am.
When Shen Lang’s Army at the border hunt soared, it would be the time for me to return to my peak.
At that time, ning yuanxian would once again appear in front of the world in a heroic manner. He was young and valiant, without any illness, holding his sword and looking around, sharpening his knife.
By then, all the doubts the world had about him would disappear.
Everyone would once again lie dormant under his tyrannical power.
In this world, it was either the east wind overpowering the West Wind, or the West Wind overpowering the east wind.
Ning yuanxian sneered. after the sudden death of Qiang King arugan, not only did no one investigate the cause of his death, but no one even paid attention to his body. He let it lie on the table and stink. I even laughed at it at the time, but now it seems that my sons are not much better.
Li Sun still didn’t answer.
At this moment, a person appeared in the monarch’s mind.
The fifth son, Ning Zheng.
Wasn’t this son a little better?
This was the first time that ning yuanxian had taken Ning Zheng seriously.
“Your Majesty, Lord Yan ‘e is here.”
Rion’s voice came from outside.
A moment later, the governor of the black water tower, ku ‘e, entered and knelt down on one knee.
“Your Majesty, I, Qianqian, have failed again.”
What failed?
Of course, it was to assassinate Jinjun.
The king, ning yuanxian, was trying his best to stop King Jin from unifying the sand primitive tribe.
Dissension, bribery, assassination, and so on.
He had used all his tricks.
But the Blackwater station’s power in the sand primitive people was still too small. No one would go undercover in that damn place for no reason.
Therefore, these methods had little effect.
There were at least 80, if not 100, assassinations against Jinjun.
All failed!
Even the Grandmaster Yan nanfei had personally taken action.
He failed again.
Jin Jun’s martial arts were very high, and she had countless Masters of the sand primitive race and the Masters of the Great Tribulation Temple around her. Almost all the assassins sent by the black water tower were killed.
It was too difficult to change the general situation through assassination.
Shen lang was assassinated many times.
He had even sent the sword King Li qianqiu to assassinate su Nan, but he had failed.
The only time he was close to success was when ku Huan tried to assassinate Jin Zhuo.
However, now that Jin Zhuo had the protection of the old demon of the snow Mountain, it was almost impossible to assassinate him.
The old demon of the snow Mountain had already decided to move the palace of Snow Mountain to raging tide city. That was because life there was more comfortable. They didn’t have to worry about food and clothing, and they could even show off their strength.
Of course, what was the deal with the palace of Snow Mountain without a Snow Mountain? Don’t mind the details. As long as I, the old monster of the snow Mountain, am here, even the flaming Mountain can be called the palace of Snow Mountain.
“Your Majesty, it’s better to prepare for war. We can’t stop Jin Jun by using abnormal means,” said the governor of the black water tower.
Ning yuanxian closed his eyes and began to recall Jin Jun.
I really didn’t expect that this adopted son would be so heaven-defying.
How gentle and refined was he when he was in the capital a few years ago?
He didn’t expect him to be such a formidable character.
Prepare for battle!
Two months ago, Zhang Ji said that they needed to send 150000 troops to the South Sea nation.
At that time, it sounded a little alarmist, but now it didn’t seem to be exaggerated.
But where was ning yuanxian going to find an Army of 150000?
Even if they used everything they had, they could only send another 80 thousand troops to the battlefield of the South Phoenix nation.
Furthermore, with these 80000 troops, the entire Northern Battlefront would only be left with Bian Xiao’s Army, North Garrison Liege Nangong ao’s Army, and the tens of thousands of troops under third Prince Ning Qi’s command. All of them would have to head south.
Not only would the northern Battlefront be empty, but even the defense of the capital would be empty.
The moment that happened, Bian Xiao’s 100000 strong Army would have to face the hundreds of thousands of Wu soldiers.
Fortunately, he had Shen lang and he had killed su Nan.
Otherwise, if the SU Nan rebellion Army, the Qiang Army, the Wu Army, the Chu army, and the Jin Jun Army besieged the Yue country, the Yue country would be in danger of being destroyed.
Shen lang and Zhang Ji had gotten rid of su Nan and made the Qiang country their ally. Bian Xiao and Jin Zhuo joined forces and defeated the Wu country.
At present, the entire Yue State only had two enemies left, Jin Jun and Chu State. Perhaps there was also the Wu State.
Su Nan was really unlucky. He had originally wanted to wait until Jin Jun United the sand primitive tribe, took back the South Phoenix country, and swept through the South of Yue country before starting a rebellion. However, they were forced by Chen Lang to make a move in advance. In the end, their entire Army was annihilated, and their entire clan was exterminated.
“If I empty the northern front, will the King of Wu’s Army go south?” Ning yuanxian asked.
After a moment of silence, yan e said, ” he definitely won’t do it now. But once Jin Jun regains control of the sand primitive tribe and the South Phoenix nation, King Wu will not miss this opportunity when his Army is marching North. He has rejected the Alliance request of Chu, but it’s not because he has a promise to our country. It’s just that the time is not right.
“Do you think that if I hand over the entire Northern defense to Duke Bian Xiao, he’ll be able to hold on?”
Yan e was silent for a while,”I do not know, but Duke Bian Xiao is good at offense, not defense ..”
Ning yuanxian was facing a huge problem.
Once Nangong ao’s 50000 troops were transferred away, who would guard the line of defense in Tianbei province?
“Once Nangong ao’s Army enters the South Phoenix nation, who will be in charge of the northern General’s residence?” “Yan e, who do you think is suitable?” ning yuanxian asked.
The governor of Tianbei province was a civil official, and a member of the royal family, ning gang.
He was a legendary figure, one generation older than ning yuanxian. He had been guarding Tianbei province for ten years.
If he were to be in charge of logistics, he would definitely be first-class in internal affairs.
However, he really couldn’t defend the city.
However, as the governor of Heishui station, yan e indeed had no right to recommend the northern General.
But ning yuanxian was like this, his questions were very casual.
“Zhong ‘e, Xue che, or ning Qi, who do you think is more suitable?” ning yuanxian asked.
The three of them were from the same faction.
Yan e still did not speak. No matter which of the three he recommended, it would be more inappropriate.
“Have the Bureau of Military Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Revenue finished their calculations?” If we were to send 80000 troops into the South Sea nation, how much military expenditure would we need?”
The chief eunuch, Li Xun, immediately found the relevant Memorial and handed it to ning yuanxian.
Ning yuanxian opened it and glanced through it. His hand suddenly trembled.
An 80 thousand strong Army like the South Phoenix nation would need grain, weapons, warhorses, pay, etc. If they were converted into military expenses, along with the expenses of Zhu Lin’s tens of thousands of troops, the total would exceed 3.5 million gold.
It was almost more than the annual tax of Yue country.
Of course, it was almost the end of the year, and the taxes from all over the country would be collected.
But this money had its uses.
He would have to borrow money from the hidden origins Guild again.
But old debts had not been paid, and new debts were owed?
“Your Majesty, eldest Princess ning Jie requests an audience.” Little eunuch Li’s voice rang out from outside again.
The king waved his hand and yan e retreated.
Ning Jie entered.
“How much is Yin Yuan Association willing to loan?” Ning yuanxian asked directly.
Every time he wanted to borrow money, he would first send his confidants to negotiate, and after the negotiation, the Minister of State and the Ministry of Revenue would sign the contract.
This time, the person who was sent to discuss the loan with Yin Yuan was eldest Princess ning Jie.
“Yin Yuan Association is willing to take out a loan of 3.5 million gold.” Eldest Princess ning Jie said.
Ning yuanxian could not believe it.
No way?
Yin Yuan would be so generous?
Previously, he already owed the yin Yuan Association an astronomical amount of debt. A few months ago, he had borrowed more than two million gold coins, and he still had not paid them back.
Not only that, in order to let Wu country take over raging tide city, Yin Yuan Association had paid more than one million for Wu country’s military expenses. This money had completely gone down the drain.
In the face of the overbearing heavenly Dao Association, the yin Yuan Association had not been having a good time recently.
“But, the elder of the hidden faction, Shu botao, wants to talk to you personally,” eldest Princess ning Jie continued.
Ning yuanxian frowned, then nodded.
Half an hour later.
Yin Yuan Association’s Big Boss in Yue country, Shu botao, entered the palace.
“Greetings, my King.” Shu botao knelt down respectfully.
This man was over 70 years old and had been in charge of the yin Yuan Association’s branch in Yue country for more than 20 years.
Even though he had killed the Earl of golden universe back then, he was still the same.
The king, ning yuanxian, raised his hand and said with a slight tremble, ” “Elder Shu, please rise. You’re more than ten years older than me, I’m not worthy of this title.”
When I need help from others, the king will always say that I’m the one.
Shu botao still knelt down meticulously. After the salutation, he was unwilling to sit down, but stood humbly.
“I’ve heard that the hidden faction is willing to lend us another 3.5 million gold coins. I’m truly grateful,” ning yuanxian said.
“Although I’m not a citizen of Yue country, I’ve stayed in Yue country for too long. I’ve completely regarded myself as a subject of Yue country. It’s only right for me to be loyal to Your Majesty,” Shu Boxin said.
“Then, what are the conditions of the yinyuan Association for this loan?”
“The formula for the glass mirror,” Shu Boxin said.
This person was very direct.
Hearing this, ning yuanxian’s eyebrows twitched.
“Your Majesty, Shen lang is extremely loyal to you, and his fate is in your hands.” If you ask, he’ll definitely give you the secret recipe for this glass mirror. As long as you get the recipe, not only will we take out an interest-free loan of 3.5 million gold, we’re also willing to write off the 2 million debt.”
What a big move.
The king, ning yuanxian, closed his eyes.
“This matter does not require the State of Yue to pay any price, nor does His Majesty need to pay any price, so why not?” Shu Boxin said.
The monarch sneered in his heart.
On the surface, there was no price to pay, but free was the most expensive.
What I paid for was the trust between Shen lang and me.
To the king, ning yuanxian, the trust between him and Shen lang was more than three million gold.
The monarch’s face turned cold and he said, ” “There’s no need for that. Thank you, elder Shu, for seeing our guest out.”
Shu botao didn’t say much, he bowed and left.
After he left, the king, ning yuanxian, sneered, ” “Everyone thinks that I’m old, that I can’t do it anymore, and everyone is trying to oppress me. Go and tell Shen lang to work hard so that we won’t be looked down upon.”
When little eunuch li heard this, he immediately set off.
forget it. There’s no need to specifically tell him. He understands it very well.
Ning yuanxian stopped him again.
Li Shan, draft an order. Let Nangong ao gather fifty thousand troops and prepare to head south to the battlefield of the South Phoenix Kingdom at any time!
“Yes!”
Shen lang, Ning Zheng, I’m waiting for you to shock the world.
When that time comes, I will once again roar at the forest.
........................
At the North Garden hunting ground.
This place consumed an astronomical amount of food and meat every day.
After these people with zero bloodline were modified, their appetites became larger and larger.
He had no choice.
The amount of training every day was too shocking. It was almost five times more than the normal Army.
Each of them had to eat two Jin of grain, three Jin of meat, and five Jin of vegetables and fruits every day.
Moreover, they basically didn’t gain any weight after eating it.
He used to be very thin, and he still looked very thin now.
However, just a touch was enough to tell that everyone’s muscles were like iron.
Now, the long-hilt battle swords in each of their hands had already exceeded two hundred and sixty Jin.
Most of the soldiers couldn’t even lift it, let alone swing it. No one would be so abnormal as to use such a heavy knife.
And these bloodline moldifiers had to hack 20000 times a day.
Of course, he had finally changed his position.
It had always been a straight slash from top to bottom, but now there was a side slash and an upward slash.
Now, not only did they train during the day, but they also had to train for six hours at night.
The training at night was even simpler.
Mountain climbing with weights.
Carrying 350 Jin of weight, within three and a half hours, they could travel 150 miles.
It was an average of 12 kilometers per hour.
This was a training of endurance.
This kind of training intensity was simply unprecedented.
He was not training soldiers, but demons.
Without absolute willpower, it was simply impossible to accomplish.
But,
Not a single one of the 2300 people fell behind.
It was almost a self-mutilating method as he completed the weight training over and over again.
Then, Shen lang not only consumed food and meat, but also countless medicinal herbs.
Every day after training, he would soak in medicinal soup for an hour to recover his meridians.
Therefore, this Army was made of gold.
These people did not need to be paid, but Shen lang had spent more than 2000 gold coins a day during their training.
In three months, just training these 2000 people would cost him nearly 200000 gold.
There was also the equipment on them. Whether it was the Super mo sword or the Super heavy armor, they were all forged from the best steel, and each one of them required a high cost.
This was not only the most powerful Army, but also the most expensive Army.
Even with Shen Lang’s wealth, he could only support a few thousand people.
........................
Bloodline molder Wang Da.
She couldn’t sleep every night.
Not because he was too tired, but because he was too excited.
No matter what he did, he was extremely focused, and it was the same when he practiced his saber.
There were only three moves in total, and he had already practiced them over a million times.
However, it seemed that he would gain new insights every time.
It was a new understanding of strength, speed, and angle.
In fact, he could even form the relevant trajectory of the saber Light in his mind, as well as the strength and speed of the saber at every part.
Not only that!
&Nbsp; he and his brothers were learning about the human body structure, the density and hardness of various metals, the structure of warhorses, the hardness of bones, and so on.
There was only one goal for everything he learned.
How to use the fastest speed and the smallest amount of strength to split the enemy in half.
Split the enemy’s warhorse into two.
Now, he had been training for more than 16 hours every day.
He should have been exhausted.
But when he was sleeping, he couldn’t help but practice it in his mind over and over again.
If it were anyone else, they would have long stopped such boring training, let alone comprehending the true meaning of battle in simple moves.
But this group of bloodline moldifiers could.
Previously, they could watch the changes in the clouds for an entire day.
Not to mention practicing the saber!
AI!
If only people didn’t need to sleep.
Then I can train all the time. I’m so stupid, my results are so bad.
........................
The results of this group of people were really too good.
He had truly advanced by leaps and bounds.
Compared to when their bloodline had just transformed, all of them had made great progress.
Furthermore, it wasn’t the kind of genius-like rapid advancement that the ten brothers of the LAN clan had. It was a very solid improvement.
Step by step, full of blood and sweat.
The ten brothers of the LAN family would only train with all their might under the whips of the bitter jubilant.
However, these 2300 or so bloodline moldifiers were fighting with their own lives and competing with themselves.
Bitter joy needed to suppress them at all times.
Otherwise, this group of people would try their best not to sleep and just keep practicing.
In the eyes of others, they were like fools. They could practice such a side glance hundreds of thousands of times without getting tired of it.
Even though it was only three months.
However, the amount of training they had to go through was more than two years for an ordinary Army.
Even after the transformation of their bloodlines, they were still not geniuses, but they were definitely the group of people who worked the hardest.
........................
Time flew by.
The days of not being able to act tough quickly passed.
Three months had passed.
There were only a few days left before the border hunting competition.
The training of more than 2000 bloodline metahumans in the northern hunting ground was about to end.
Today was the last day!
Everyone had to face the final test.
The content of the assessment was very simple!
Everyone used a hundred Jin super mo sword to cut down the trees.
It was a tree about a foot in diameter.
It slashed down diagonally and was cut in half.
Everyone only had one chance to cut.
we’ll only send two thousand people to participate in the border hunt this time. More than three hundred people will be eliminated. We can’t bring glory to our country.
each of you only has one chance. If you don’t cut a tree that’s one foot in diameter, you’ll fail and be eliminated.
This test was considered very harsh.
A tree with a foot in diameter wanted to be cut down with one slash?
How difficult was that?
This had the highest requirements for strength, speed, and angle.
And if he could cut down a tree with one strike ...
Then, no matter what kind of enemy it was, no matter what kind of warhorse it was, it could definitely be cut into two.
In three months, this group of people had swung the two hundred Jin super-large saber more than a million times.
Now was the time to test the results.
Wang Da was the first to take the test.
He raised his saber and took a deep breath.
“Swish!”
He slashed down.
It was as smooth as flowing water.
It was cut in two!
The tree was split into two.
The second one to go up was dog li.
“Swish!”
It was cut in two!
The third, fourth, and fifth Wuwu.
A few hours later!
Shen lang was completely stunned!
More than 2300 people had all succeeded and were cut in two.
F * ck me!
This group of people was too heaven-defying!
This border hunting competition, they really had to win even with their eyes closed!
