Chapter 378: Master Lang’s name shakes the world!
Translator: 549690339
Recently, the people of Yue country had been really stimulated to the point of ruthlessness.
Previously, because of the crown prince’s surrender, more than 200000 troops were annihilated, Tiannan province fell, Tianbei province was in danger, and Tianxi province fell into the hands of several counties. It was really a scene of a fallen country.
Even the most optimistic person was in despair.
As a result, the entire country fell into an apocalyptic revelry.
They lived a life of drunkenness, waiting for the moment when the country would be destroyed.
However, he did not expect ...
More than a month ago, the situation had suddenly reversed.
Jin Jun and Wu Wang both retreated.
After hearing these two pieces of news, the people of the capital still did not dare to be happy.
This was because these two victories were diplomatic victories and were not solid.
Furthermore, the Chu state’s Army of over 300000 soldiers was in Tianxi province, and they were currently besieging Zhenxi city.
Once Tianxi province fell, it would still be difficult for the Yue country to escape its fate.
Then, a bizarre piece of news came.
Ning Zheng and Shen lang led 10000 troops across the great snow Mountain and traveled a few thousand miles to attack the capital of the Chu Kingdom.
In less than a day, they had taken down the Chu royal capital.
After hearing this news, everyone instinctively felt that it was ridiculous.
How could that be possible?
You’re just daydreaming.
In all of history, no army had ever been able to cross the thousand-mile Snow Mountain.
Furthermore, the capital of the Chu Kingdom was one of the strongest cities in the world. Without 200000 soldiers, no one would even have the courage to attack the city.
Even if the Chu royal capital’s Garrison was small, there should be at least tens of thousands of soldiers.
Soon after, more and more news came, more and more absurd and shocking.
Ning Zheng and Shen lang burned down the Chu Royal Palace and captured the Queen and the princess.
Not only that, he even managed to defeat the 70000 to 80000 reinforcement troops of Chu State with just a few thousand soldiers.
In short, the news was getting more and more bizarre, and even the storybooks didn’t dare to write it like this. They only saw countless Bulls flying in the sky.
However,
After all, it was true.
The news was getting more and more specific and detailed.
More and more evidence showed that all of this was true.
After that, the real hammer came.
When Lord Chu heard the bad news, he vomited blood and fainted.
Then, the king of Yue, ning yuanxian, announced to the world that he was celebrating Ning Zheng and Shen Lang’s epic victory.
Following that, the Board of Ministers and the Bureau of Military Affairs used an extremely official tone to announce The Pond Report to all the counties in the entire Yue State.
His Highness Ning Zheng led 10000 troops on an expedition to the capital of Chu State and won the battle. He officially occupied the capital of Chu State and captured the King of Chu. In total, there were 57 members of the royal family including lady Yan.
At this moment, the people of Yue country dared to believe this shocking good news.
And then,
They were completely in an uproar.
This was truly an unprecedented victory, an unprecedented miracle.
With just 10000 men, they had directly taken down the capital of the enemy country.
It was not an exaggeration to describe this great victory.
Because of this victory, the king of Yue, ning yuanxian, personally led a group of ministers to the king’s mausoleum of Yue to pay respects and thank the protection of the ancestors of the ning royal family, which allowed Ning Zheng to obtain such an epic victory.
This time, apart from the civil and military officials, there were also thousands of people paying respects to their ancestors.
After that, the king of Yue, ning yuanxian, issued a decree of Amnesty and sent food and meat to all the elderly above the age of 60 in the capital.
He had been enjoying himself with the people for a few days.
As the king, ning yuanxian tried his best to highlight the victory.
Ning Zheng and Shen lang were in the capital of the Chu Kingdom.
However, from the South to the North, the State of Yue had completely fallen into a sea of joy.
The gloominess of the country’s destruction had completely dissipated.
Ning Zheng’s name instantly soared among the people of the world, and he directly became the hero who turned the tide and turned the universe around.
The infamy that he had carried previously also disappeared instantly.
Tens of thousands of people praised.
Not only the common people, but many scholars could not help but have this thought.
It might not be a bad idea for Prince Ning Zheng to inherit the throne.
Not only some scholars, but even some ordinary officials had gradually changed their views.
Of course, the high officials in the Imperial court of Yue State still supported ning Qi, because their interests were bound.
However, there were still many middle-and low-level officials who had not yet come into contact with the Zhu family or the Zhong family. They had to rely on their own hearts.
The benefits were enough to blind one’s eyes and heart, but not everyone was qualified to be a beneficiary.
For most of the middle and low-ranking officials, there was not much difference between Ning Zheng and ning Qi.
Therefore, everything was just as Shen lang had imagined.
The victory in the expedition to the Royal capital of Chu had brought a shocking effect to Ning Zheng’s fight for the throne.
..................
Similarly, no words could describe ning yuanxian’s ecstasy at receiving this good news.
He was more excited than anyone else, and he couldn’t believe it.
Of course, there was also heartache.
Shen lang and Ning Zheng actually managed to complete this unprecedented miracle.
Therefore, after receiving the good news, ning yuanxian used all his power to publicize the victory, offering sacrifices to the ancestors and enjoying the people.
He even sent his cavalry to spread the news to every corner of Yue country.
All of this was to pave the way for Ning Zheng’s Ascension.
Of course, except for a few people in the court, the civil and military officials still treated Ning Zheng coldly.
But in the face of this great victory, no official dared to come out and pour cold water on it.
..................
The news of Ning Zheng and Shen Lang’s victory had just spread throughout the Yue country.
Soon, another shocking battle report came.
Lord Chu had died!
The third Prince, ning Qi, had captured the Crown Prince of Chu.
The Crown Prince of Chu State ascended the throne and signed a truce agreement with Prince Ning Qi.
The third Prince, ning Qi, was suspected of murdering the King of Chu. He entered the Chu Army’s camp alone to await further investigation.
In that instant.
The entire state of Yue once again fell into an uproar.
In their eyes, this was another great victory.
Lord Chu was dead.
To the Imperial court, King Chu’s sudden death was not a glorious matter.
But the commoners did not care about that.
It didn’t matter if Lord Chu was shot to death in public on the battlefield or if he was assassinated.
In short, the great enemy King Chu was dead.
The third Prince, ning Qi, was awesome.
After countless folk songs finished singing Ning Zheng’s song, they began to sing ning Qi’s.
Or the two of them would sing together.
However, the entire Yue country’s imperial court was also silent.
Whether it was the Council of Ministers or the Bureau of Military Affairs, no one sang praises of ning Qi’s achievements.
Because this matter was too big.
According to the rules of the Empire of Great Yan, assassinating King Chu was a grave crime.
Before the matter was settled, none of the high-ranking officials would express their opinions.
Even if ning Qi’s performance in this battle was really amazing, even if they all supported ning Qi.
..................
Ning yuanxian was once again in shock after receiving the detailed battle report from Zhenxi city.
He even looked at ning Qi in a new light.
Previously, he was very disappointed with ning Qi. This son of his had secretly signed a secret agreement with the Empire of Great Yan, colluded with the yin Yuan Association, and negotiated with Jin Jun to cede the entire Tiannan province and six counties of Tianbei province.
He felt that ning Qi had no backbone and only had political skills.
However, in this battle ...
Ning Qi’s blood Qi was on full display.
It was far more than outstanding.
It was a miracle.
When King Chu had fallen before ning Qi had even shot his arrow, ning yuanxian could imagine how desperate ning Qi had been.
When Prince Chu rushed towards ning Qi.
Ning Qi retreated and charged at the Prince of Chu’s thousands of cavalrymen.
How brave was this? How heroic was that?
The King of Chu was murdered, and the Crown Prince of Chu performed perfectly, so the mourning Army would win.
At that moment, the entire battlefield of the Western Garrison city was at its most dangerous. It could collapse at any moment.
Once Zhenxi city fell, the entire Tianxi province would fall, and the new king Chu would kill his way to the capital of Yue State.
In order to take revenge, the new king of Chu could justifiably destroy tianyue city, burn the Yue Palace, and force ning yuanxian to death.
It was ning Qi who had turned the tide and captured the Crown Prince of Chu.
Only then did he save Zhenxi city, Tianxi province, and even the Yue country.
Ning yuanxian read the battle report over and over again, and his blood boiled each time.
What did he do?
He actually had two such outstanding sons?
Then, he fell into a slight dilemma.
Perhaps it wasn’t a bad idea for ning Qi to succeed the throne?
In terms of individual ability, ning Qi seemed to be more outstanding than Ning Zheng.
Moreover, ning Qi had no obstacles in his succession.
The Zhu family and the Zhong family could only clap and cheer.
On the contrary, if Ning Zheng were to succeed to the throne, there would be great waves, or even a crisis.
However, if ning Qi were to succeed the throne, would the Yue Kingdom fall into the hands of the great Yan Empire? Would the government be controlled by the Zhu family?
After thinking for a while.
Ning yuanxian realized that if ning Qi succeeded the throne, he could suppress the Zhu and Zhong families with his skills.
Even when the Empire of Great Yan annexed the world, ning Qi knew how to compromise and balance things out, so he could even protect the foundation of the ning royal family.
If Ning Zheng were to succeed the throne, he would probably rather die than submit.
However, once ning Qi took the position, Ning Zheng and Shen lang would die without a burial ground. This was a cold and ruthless Lord who would definitely not tolerate Ning Zheng and Shen lang.
Ning Qi also had a fatal flaw. He liked to use political tactics and would only risk his life and everything when he was forced into a corner.
As a result, the hidden danger of Yue country could not be completely resolved.
On the other hand, Ning Zheng was determined and picked the most difficult thing to do, determined to solve the problem completely.
It might look clumsy, but in fact, it could be done once and for all, washing away the filth of Yue country.
He thought about it.
Ning yuanxian still felt that Ning Zheng was more suitable to be the king of Yue country.
Ning Qi was still too smart, unlike Ning Zheng, who was stupid and straightforward.
However, there was a fatal flaw in Ning Zheng’s Ascension.
In the future, when the Empire of Great Yan annexed the world, the State of Yue under Ning Zheng’s leadership would most likely become the first to be annexed by the Empire.
He was too cunning, too unyielding.
There was really no such thing as a perfect ending for both sides in this world.
However, ning yuanxian was still more inclined to Ning Zheng.
What a headache. Two outstanding heirs had appeared all of a sudden.
But,
When ning Qi entered the Chu camp alone.
The king of Yue, ning yuanxian, was slightly disappointed.
Then, out of his love for his son, he ordered the third Prince, ning Qi, to return to the capital.
This was to protect ning Qi, and to force ning Qi to make a stand.
You are my son, why are you standing so close to the Emperor of the great Yan Empire?
So, if you, ning Qi, listen to my order and return to the capital, it means that you and I are still of the same mind, and I’m willing to give you a chance.
However, if you insist on staying in the Chu camp, it means that you can’t wait to take the blame for the Emperor.
Besides, in your heart, ning Qi, I, as your father, am far less important than the Emperor.
If you, ning Qi, return to the capital.
As for the murder of King Chu, I, ning yuanxian, can personally go to the Yan capital to discuss it with the Emperor.
..................
Ning Qi looked at the decree in his hand in a daze.
On one hand, he felt a little warm.
Because his performance had moved his father.
Ning yuanxian had clearly stated in the decree that ning Qi would return to tianyue city, and ning yuanxian would head north to Yan capital.
As a father, he was willing to protect ning Qi.
Moreover, there was another meaning in his father’s words. He was willing to re-examine ning Qi and give him a new chance, instead of completely siding with Ning Zheng as before.
But at the same time, ning Qi was frowning and even disgusted.
As the Emperor of a country, father is too impulsive.
I, ning Qi, staying in the Chu camp is the best choice. As a King, you actually want me to choose between you and the Emperor?
It’s because of this temperament of yours that Yue country is in such a state.
Father, you’re willing to protect me, but Yingluo, do you have the ability to do so?
The Emperor doesn’t like King Chu, and he also doesn’t like you, the Prince of Yue.
Between the Emperor and his father, ning Qi would choose the Supreme Emperor without hesitation.
This was the reality.
But he also had a headache, because if he rejected his father, it would be the same as completely breaking his heart and completely pushing out the opportunity ning yuanxian had given him.
Such emotional decisions, he really wasn’t fit to be a King.
Ning Qi angrily slammed ning yuanxian’s decree on the table.
The new king Chu walked in and smiled. brother, if you want to return to tianyue city, I won’t stop you. The king of Yue will give me an explanation.
“How can I go back?” “If I go back, won’t all my previous efforts be in vain?” ning Qi said.
The new king Chu said,”the two of us have a willful father. My father is too greedy.” as for your father, his dignity has been hurt before, so he desperately wants to redeem himself and stand up straight, as if this is the only way to regain his dignity. However, he didn’t know that he was overdoing it. A King didn’t deserve to be emotional, especially a King of a vassal state. It’s not a good word to say that you’d rather break than bend.”
Ning Qi said,”a sovereign must place the country and its people at the very top. Only after that is he himself.” Being unyielding is for the country, and compromising is also for the country. Why can’t he understand?”
The two of them were trying their best to show that they were sincere.
After that, ning Qi personally wrote a moving memorial.
However, there was only one content. For his father, for the sake of Yue country, he still chose to stay in the Chu camp. Ning Qi could not repay his father’s love for him even if he broke his bones.
However, no matter how touching his words were, it could not change the fact that ning Qi had chosen the Emperor over his father, ning yuanxian.
“His Majesty the emperor’s Imperial envoy has already gone south!” The new king Chu said.
Ning Qi closed his eyes. what should come will come. We’ll do our best and leave it to fate!
....................................
The Chu royal capital was even closer to Yan capital.
Therefore, the Imperial envoy of the Emperor had arrived at the capital city of Chu Kingdom earlier.
This Imperial envoy was a young noble who had just been conferred the title of Duke and was leading a team of dozens of people.
When he arrived at the Chu royal capital, he first summoned Ning Zheng.
He asked a few questions.
After summoning Lord Chu, he was questioned for two whole days.
Next, he took the corpse of Chu state’s consort Yan for examination.
The entire process was very meticulous and professional.
He was here to murder the King of Chu. He did not mention a word about Ning Zheng’s attack on the capital of the Chu Kingdom and the burning of the Chu Royal Palace.
Furthermore, all the interrogations would have officials from Vietnam, Chu, and the Empire of Great Yan present.
He asked for every detail.
In a short three days, this Imperial envoy and his officials had summoned dozens of people and asked dozens of people.
He had investigated hundreds of records.
Not only that, but every investigation and interrogation was recorded in detail.
In fact, they even formed a portrait.
In just a few days, the interrogation records alone had exceeded 100000 words.
This serious attitude of investigation simply convinced everyone.
He didn’t let go of any detail, as if he was a godly detective.
However,
The truth of Lord Chu’s murder case was already known to many of the higher-ups.
The murderers were stupa mountain, lady Yan, and Yan Liang. Of course, Shen lang was also involved.
However, King Chu’s death was the will of the Emperor.
So, these murderers, in a sense, were working for the Emperor.
Then, all of these professional checks would be false.
Queen Chu knew this, and so did Shu mi envoy Lian Jing.
Therefore, he was very clear about what he should and shouldn’t say.
The so-called professional interrogation was to weave a meticulous and complete lie.
a lie that was 70% true and 30% false.
King Chu’s sudden death, was the Queen Chu angry?
Of course he was angry.
But what could he do?
this is the emperor’s silent approval. are you trying to slap the supreme emperor in the face? That was the path to death.
Thus, everyone cooperated with the Imperial envoy to check and fill in the gaps.
After a full five days, the interrogation temporarily came to an end.
In these five days, the Imperial envoy did not interrogate Shen lang at all.
He had even asked kutou Huan and Jin Mulan.
He did not ask Shen lang.
Finally, on the sixth day, the Imperial envoy summoned Shen lang.
..................
“I haven’t had the time to remove the poisonous bomb on the body of the Chu State eunuch, Yan Liang.”
“The reason for King Chu’s sudden death was because he had the king Chu’s Secret letter in his hands. That secret letter has already been processed. There’s a dark fragrance liquid on it that directly awakens the Gu worm in King Chu’s body.”
“This secret letter was written by Queen Chu, and she used her usual fragrance oil to smoke it, so the smell is exactly the same. But you were the one who added the dark fragrance liquid on it. ”
therefore, the direct murderer of King Chu is you, Shen lang!
The emperor’s Imperial envoy went straight to the point.
Shen lang, you wanted to borrow King Chu’s hands to destroy the Zhong family, destroy ning Qi, and then kill King Chu.
“It’s because the seventh Prince of Chu State, Chu Qi, arrived too late. If he had arrived a little later, ning Qi would have put on a shocking show of killing King Chu on the battlefield and would have made an unparalleled contribution. You have to strike first, and then frame ning Qi for the assassination.”
“When King Chu saw this secret letter, the Gu insect in his stomach acted up and he shouted that ning Qi colluded with stupa mountain to kill him. If that’s the case, ning Qi won’t be able to clear his name even if he jumps into the Nu River. Shen lang, you’re really good at this!”
Then, was this the truth?
That’s about it.
The truth was not complicated at all.
Shen lang was not surprised at all.
“Shen lang, if we confirm that you are the murderer of King Chu, you will definitely die.”
Shen lang did not say anything.
Killing King Chu was a huge matter. Although Shen lang happened to be there, he had thought about it countless times.
“Imperial envoy, if you have something to say, speak frankly.”
The emperor’s Imperial envoy said,”the first thing is, is there an ancient ruin in the territory of the sand primitive race?” Where was he? How do I open it?”
What was the meaning of this?
Should he tell Jin Jun about the ancient ruins in exchange for the great Yan Empire’s pardon?
Please, the one who really wanted to kill King Chu was the Emperor.
I, Shen lang, am only adding fuel to the fire.
“I’m sorry, I really don’t know,” Shen lang said.
The Imperial envoy looked at Shen lang deeply.
Shen lang, there are many people in the Yan capital who don’t like you. You’re still Living a Good Life in Yue country, but your life has always been on a thin line. the evidence of your murder of the King of Chu is conclusive, ” the emperor’s Imperial envoy said. once you are convicted of this crime, no one can save you.
shen lang remained silent.
The emperor’s Imperial envoy lowered his head, took out a document, and carefully read it for a while.
“You have an affair with Chou Yao ‘er, right? She even gave birth to a child for you.” “Now that she has established a Kingdom overseas, we may need you to write a letter to her. You may even represent the great Yan Empire to visit her country,” the Imperial envoy said.
Shen lang spread his hands and said, ” Imperial envoy, you have definitely overestimated my position in Chou Yao ‘er’s heart. Under a series of coincidences, Chou Yao ‘er and I did have a one night stand, and she even got pregnant. However, strictly speaking, I was only a seed that was borrowed. I was just a passerby in her heart.”
“Is Chou Yao ‘er’s overseas country very strong?” Shen lang asked.
The emperor’s Imperial envoy did not speak.
Instead, he continued to look through the information.
This should be Shen Lang’s information. He looked at Shen Lang as he read.
Shen lang, you have to do something. The emperor’s Imperial envoy said,”if a person has no value and is not likable, then he is basically dead.” If you don’t do this or that, you can’t!”
many people in the Yan capital don’t like you. Many people from stupa mountain, sky-Sea Pavilion, and mang Tian Pavilion don’t like you either.
So, Shen lang, what do you have to do for yourself? ”
“Choose one of the first two things.” The emperor’s Imperial envoy said,”you can either bring the Empire’s diplomatic mission out to sea and visit Chou Yao ‘er’s country.” Why don’t you tell us where Jin Jun’s ancient ruins are and how to open them?”
I’m sorry, ” Shen lang said. I’m really powerless.
The Imperial envoy’s eyes narrowed.
“Shen lang, must you do this?” I have two files here, ” the Imperial envoy said. one of them is that you are guilty, and the other is that you are not guilty. Choose one.
The Imperial envoy gave Shen lang his last warning.
“Are you familiar with the dreamy cloud swampland?” Shen lang asked.
The young Imperial envoy said, ” everyone in the Yan capital is familiar with each other. However, it is useless. The Yunmeng Marsh is too insignificant. He can’t save you.
Shen lang suddenly said, ” I heard. I only heard. There was a noble in the Yan capital who had contracted a very strange illness. He suddenly became very thin and very thirsty. He had to drink a lot of things every day. He peed a lot every day, and his weight was dropping every day. Countless doctors, including people from the sky-Sea Pavilion and stupa mountain, went to see him, but they couldn’t find the cause.”
The moment these words came out, the emperor’s Imperial envoy trembled slightly.
This was a secret, but it was also not a secret.
Shen lang continued,”if he is not treated in time, he might not live long ..”
You dare to curse? ” the Imperial envoy said coldly.
“I’m just stating the facts,” Shen lang said.
The Imperial envoy closed his eyes.
The person Shen lang was talking about was the emperor’s favorite person.
Not only was he loved by the Emperor, but he was also the Empress Dowager’s lifeblood. He was really held in the palm of his hand, afraid of falling, afraid of melting in his mouth.
He was simply the most favored person in the imperial family. Originally, she was an exquisite and intelligent woman. After the illness, his body became worse and worse, and now he was almost beyond cure.
In fact, the imperial family was already preparing for their funeral.
The Emperor, the Empress, and everyone else were heartbroken, and the Empress Dowager washed her face with tears.
After the illness struck, the Empire tried all methods but was unable to save him. They could only watch as this person became thinner and thinner, his vitality gradually weakening as he walked towards death. It was truly a heart-wrenching pain.
However, they had almost given up all hope.
He did not expect Shen lang to mention it.
However, the Imperial envoy did not dare to be careless. He knew that Shen lang was a famous doctor Who had created miracles.
In a sense, it was also because of this that he could live so arrogantly until now.
“Do you know what illness it is?” the emperor’s Imperial envoy asked.
Of course, Shen lang knew that he had type 1 diabetes.
The cause of the illness was unknown. It could be a defect in the immune system or a genetic problem.
This illness acted up very quickly, and if it was not treated in time, it could be life-threatening.
The only treatment for this disease was to inject insulin.
Insulin sounded like a very advanced technology, but it was impossible for it to exist in this world.
It was indeed so.
Artificial insulin was a high-tech product that even involved genetics.
However, the extraction of islet cells from pigs and cattle had been successful since 1922.
It was indeed difficult to get pure insulin in this world.
It required the use of Hank solution, also known as the inorganic salt solution and the balanced salt solution. It required the combination of multiple components such as sodium chloride and CL.
Then, an extremely fine filter net of about 200?m was needed, and a centrifugal tube was needed.
It sounded high-end, but the entire process could be achieved, even with the configuration in this world.
The extracted pig pancreas should be able to reach the level of saving a life.
“This disease is called diabetes,” Shen lang said.
The emperor’s Imperial envoy immediately frowned. The name of this illness was not good enough and would taint the Supreme royal family.
But that was not the key.
“You can cure this disease?” The Imperial envoy said.
“Of course!” Shen lang said.
“How fast?” the Imperial envoy asked.
“The effect was immediate.” Shen lang said, ” it can immediately save the patient’s sexually transmitted disease. However, we have to be quick. This person’s illness is very urgent. If we are late, he might lose his life.
The Imperial envoy squinted his eyes and looked at Shen lang.
This was not part of his plan. His mission was clear-he had to force Shen lang to agree to the first two things.
However, if he could save the emperor’s most beloved person, it would be a great merit, and his status would also rise.
The Imperial envoy said, ” Shen lang, you have to think this through. This patient’s status is extremely noble. If anything were to happen during the treatment, you would die immediately. Even if you tell me where the entrance to the ancient ruins is, it won’t save your life.”
Shen lang said,”I’m almost certain!” However, it was already extremely urgent. Because of the Imperial envoy, he had been delayed for several days and did not see me. If we want to save this Noble’s life, I must immediately head north. As for the patient, we must not delay either. Immediately head south from the Yan capital. We’ll meet on the way, and I’ll immediately treat him.”
The Imperial envoy closed his eyes and sank into a decision.
He also had to take responsibility for this matter.
If Shen lang could save that person, he would definitely have the credit.
However, if Shen lang could not be saved, or if any accidents happened during the treatment, he would bear the responsibility.
Should he ignore Shen Lang’s request?
That wouldn’t do either. There was clearly a chance to treat this benefactor, but he didn’t do so? That was also a crime.
Thus, this Imperial envoy had no other choice.
then let’s move quickly. If we can’t save this top-class noble, we’ll be in trouble together!
15 minutes later!
Shen lang and the Imperial envoy left the capital of the Chu Kingdom and flew North!

I recommend ‘the strongest in the heavens’. The main character is a eunuch.
