Chapter 198

Xuan Wu and Jin Zhuo guarded Rage Tide City. His conservative and determined personality was the most suitable for defending a city.

Shen Lang and Jin Cheng led a thousand people to attack Jinshan Island.

There were already two thousand captives from Xuan Wu Mansion on Jinshan Island. With their cooperation, they defeated the one thousand pirates on the island in half a day and took down Jinshan Island. (Five thousand words were omitted here.)

Jin Cheng led a thousand soldiers to guard Jinshan Island. Half of them were reorganized from the captives from Xuan Wu Mansion.

Shen Lang led 500 soldiers back to Xuan Wu Mansion.

…

He had left home for more than a month. He was really eager to return.

Mulan baby, I missed you so much.

I didn't flirt in the past month. I didn't even look at Qiu Yao Er.

Even in a place like Raging Tide City, where money was everywhere, I didn't find a single woman.

Nowadays, there aren't many men like me who are as pure as I am.

This is love!

Xu Qianqian walked over seductively to Shen Lang's back and massaged his shoulders.

She even pretended to carelessly rub her chest against Shen Lang's head.

Don't, don't do this?

I'm a decent person.

We're divorced.

I can't let Mulan down.

I'm not that kind of person.

Sigh!

So soft!

Shen Lang leaned his head against her. He had a look of enjoyment on his face.

Huang Feng made a swallowing motion.

She wasn't drooling. She was suppressing the killing intent in her heart.

Then, she turned around.

Xu Qianqian said coquettishly, "Shen Lang, we're already like this. Can you tell me what poison you put in the dye formula? How did you harm our family? How did you make those Western Region merchants get poisoned? "

Damn!

I knew you were up to no good.

Shen Lang sat up straight and moved his head away from Xu Qianqian's chest.

I, Shen Lang, am a decent person. Even if my wife isn't here, I won't have an affair.

Then, he said righteously, "Miss Xu, please don't accuse me wrongly. I didn't tamper with the formula at all, and I've never harmed your family. I didn't know that your new silk clothes were suddenly poisoned on those Western Region merchants' ships."

Xu Qianqian gritted her teeth and said, "Let's put it another way. It's unavoidable for new formulas to have problems. Regarding the purple and rainbow dyes formulas, can Shen make some improvements?"

Shen Lang nodded and said, "Yes, that's possible, but you have to pay a price."

Xu Qianqian pressed her chest against his again.

Shen Lang leaned back comfortably and said, "We'll take 5% of the profit for every bolt of silk sold with our dye formula."

Xu Qianqian shuddered and said, "Shen, we're so close. It'll hurt our relationship if we talk about money."

Shen Lang rubbed against her a little harder and said, "Alas, we're just ex-husband and ex-wife!"

"Get lost!" Xu Qianqian pushed him away!

… …

After returning to the Xuan Wu Mansion.

He didn't even have time to be intimate with Mulan before he saw a ground full of corpses.

There were more than 20 corpses, men and women, old and young.

These were the loyal servants of Count Xuanwu. Although Shen Lang couldn't tell them all their names, he knew each and every one of their faces.

There were also hundreds of corpses, all of which were warriors who had died in battle, including new recruits and veterans.

Even his mother-in-law, Su Peipei, had a large wound on her back. It was more than half a foot long and half an inch deep, and her bones could almost be seen.

An Zaishi said, "Young Master, my female doctor will stop the bleeding and apply medicine for your wife. You've taught me how to suture wounds, but I still don't dare to do it for fear of leaving a big scar. "

Shen Lang said, "I'll do it. Are the catgut sutures ready?"

Not long after Shen Lang came to this world, he taught Doctor An Zaishi how to suture and made a large number of catgut sutures, but they were rarely used.

The advantage of the catgut suture was that it could be easily absorbed by the body, but the disadvantage was that it could easily cause inflammation.

However, Shen Lang used modern technology to treat these catgut sutures. Each one had been treated for a few months and went through more than a dozen processes to ensure that inflammation was minimized.

Although his mother-in-law, Su Peipei, was lazy, her martial arts skills were high, and her physical fitness was good. Coupled with the large amount of anti-inflammatory Chinese medicine, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Su Peipei was lying on the bed, wearing clothes. There was a big cut on the back of her clothes, revealing her wound.

Even if it was her back, she didn't want to be touched by other male doctors.

However, Shen Lang was her son, so it didn't matter.

Shen Lang carefully sutured Su Peipei's wound, layer by layer.

He was extremely meticulous.

Moreover, he used cosmetic suture.

Unfortunately, there was no cosmetic suture in this world, so the scar in the future would be smaller.

"I'm already so old, so what if there's a little scar?" Su Peipei said, "Will your father dislike me?"

Shen Lang said, "With my skills, I guarantee that the scar will be minimal. Of course, there's another way to hide the scar. "

"What is it?" Su Peipei asked.

Shen Lang said, "Get a beautiful tattoo on your back and let father-in-law start learning the tattoo pattern now."

Su Peipei said, "Isn't it a little inappropriate for me to get a tattoo at my age?"

Although she said it was inappropriate, she was actually tempted.

Shen Lang said, "No one else will see it. What's wrong with showing it to father-in-law?"

Su Peipei said, "We'll talk about it later."

… …

When Shen Lang returned to his courtyard, his face suddenly became cold.

He had never hated a person so much, and he had never hated a family so much.

Marquis Zhenyuan, Su Clan.

Su Nan, Su Jianting!

Mulan was lying on the bed, her upper body naked.

On her pink and smooth back, there was a shocking bruise.

It was hit by an expert of the Su Clan with a hammer that night in order to protect the people of the fief and fight against the fake bandits.

Although there was no scar, she suffered some internal injuries.

Shen Lang was so distressed that he twitched.

He used the concocted medicinal oil and slowly rubbed it into the bruise on Mulan's back.

"Husband, don't you blame me?" Mulan said softly.

Mulan lay in Shen Lang's arms, grabbed Shen Lang's hand and put it on her beautiful chest.

Shen Lang said, "Blame you for what? Blame you for clearly knowing that it was a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but still led the troops to save the people of the fief? That's how you are, Mulan. "

Mulan turned over, lying on Shen Lang's body, and gently kissed Shen Lang's lips.

No more words.

Furious Tide City had been taken.

Chou Yao'er had left.

The battle of Wangya Island was a great victory, and Chou Tianwei's entire army was destroyed.

Shen Lang did not say any of this news. Of course, he did not need to say it, he had already sent people to report back to the family.

Now, there was only heartache left.

"Hasn't the secret letter Marquis Su Jian sent to our family been burned? Su Nan also believed it, so why did Su Jianting come to snatch it? "Shen Lang said," Then why did he pay such a big price to snatch it? "

Mulan shook her head, expressing her puzzlement.

There must be some conspiracy in the middle.

That's good, that's good.

Originally, Shen Lang had not decided whether to retaliate against the Xue clan or the Su clan first.

Now there was an answer.

Destroy the Su clan!

Shen Lang's brain was working quickly.

Su clan.

Putting aside the Duke of Weiwu and the Marquis of Zhenxi, the Marquis of Zhenyuan was the biggest old noble family.

The biggest fief, the most private army.

And Su Nan was the Crown Prince's Junior Protector, the Great General of the Zhenjun.

A real superpower.

It would be very difficult to bring him down!

Zhang Chong's wisdom was close to that of a demon, but his foundation was too shallow.

And the Su clan's foundation was even thicker than Xuan Wu Mansion.

It seemed that to bring down the Su clan was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

But … …

Give me a fulcrum, and I can pry up the whole earth.

Similarly, give me a fulcrum, and I can destroy the entire Su clan.

Shen Lang used his fingers to calculate.

Mulan had been naughtily kissing him, like playing a game.

First kissing the eyes, then stopping, letting Shen Lang guess where to kiss next.

Then the next kiss was behind the ear.

Of course, this was completely silent, completely an intimate mental game.

At this time, seeing him calculating with his fingers like a charlatan, she could not help but laugh.

"What are you doing?" Mulan said coquettishly.

Shen Lang: "I'm calculating, how many days will it take to destroy the Su clan."

Mulan said: "Have you calculated it?"

Shen Lang: "It will take about 150 days."

Mulan was puzzled. Can this be accurate to the number of days?

However, I don't want to use my brain, I just want to clap my hands, and then shout that Husband is so powerful.

Of course, now Mulan did not need to cheer with her mouth.

She could just use her eyes.

Yes, it would take about half a year.

The key was to need a fulcrum.

So what was this fulcrum?

Fifth Highness Ning Zheng!

Shen Lang looked at Mulan's eyes, which were very beautiful, but bloodshot.

This woman did not know how long it had been since she slept well.

"Baby, go to sleep." Shen Lang said.

"Well, Husband, you sleep with me." Mulan said.

"Okay." Shen Lang said.

At the same time, Mulan also took off the skirt on her lower body.

Then she also took off the clothes on Shen Lang's body, and then comfortably hugged Shen Lang to sleep.

Under the quilt, the fragrance was pleasant, smooth and tender like jade.

In just a few seconds, Mulan fell asleep sweetly.

In the past month, she did not sleep more than three hours a day.

Shen Lang hugged the jade-like Mulan. On one hand, his heart was like a wolf, and on the other hand, he was very distressed.

Two minutes later, he also fell asleep.

In the past month, don't look at how he was arrogant, as if everything was under control, in fact, he did not sleep well.

… …

Inside Jin Hai Count House!

Crown Prince Tang Yun knelt on the ground and cried.

"No, no …"

"Father, must it be like this? The situation may not be like this. "

"The Kim family took over Fury Tide City, which is equivalent to slapping the Monarch's face. The Monarch will not let them go."

"We may not have to go down this road."

"Wait and see, wait and see …"

Tang Lun Count smiled bitterly and said, "If we wait any longer, the whole family will die."

He slapped his forehead and said, "This monarch of ours is extremely intelligent, but he is harsh and merciless. His anger must be vented, but it's hard to say who he will vent it on."

Crown Prince Tang Yun said, "But it is Xuan Wu Mansion who destroyed the new policy. It is also Xuan Wu Mansion who took advantage of the situation to expand. Our Tang family has always been on the side of the Monarch. Why should they pour their anger on us? Isn't this disappointing? "

Tang Lun Count said, "Was the King Of The South Kingdom not loyal enough? What was the result? He was tricked to death by our Monarch, then raised Prince Jin in the capital and sent a large number of officials to the South Kingdom to seize power. Speaking of being bitterly disappointed, who can be more bitterly disappointed than Prince Jin? "

Tang Yun said, "Then he should pour his anger on the Kim family, why us?"

Tang Lun Count said, "The Kim family has already taken over Fury Tide City and obtained 80% of Chou Tianwei's fleet. Fury Tide City is alone in the sea, how can they fight without a navy? Even if the Monarch wants to attack Fury Tide City, they will need at least a year and a half to build ships and prepare 30,000 troops. By that time, will the Kim family just sit and wait for death? Not far to the north is the State of Wu. Back then, Bian Xiao led 100,000 troops and betrayed the State of Wu and went south to the State of Yue, causing the State of Wu to suffer a great defeat. Does the Monarch want such a tragedy to happen again in the State of Yue? "

Crown Prince Tang Yun was silent, then he cried even louder.

Earl Tang Lun said, "We are in a race against time. Zhang Chong's secret memorial has already been sent to the capital. It's not too late for you to go to the Governor's Office to report and expose me. Otherwise, by the time the Black Water Platform's cavalry charge into our house, everything will be too late. The Monarch's wrath will completely annihilate our entire race. "

Crown Prince Tang Yun said, "Then, what about the other brothers?"

Tang Lun Count was silent for a while.

Yes, what about the other sons?

If they escaped to another country in advance, they would still be able to survive.

But should they do that?

If they escaped to other countries, then the Tang family's sacrifice would be in vain.

The Monarch was slapped in the face this time, and his anger would completely pour out and he would kill a large number of people.

If the entire Tang family was killed, only Tang Yun would be left.

When the Monarch thought about it in the future, he might still feel guilty and could make up for it.

If Tang Lun let all his sons escape to Wu, it would be true treason.

Then the Monarch would be a scapegoat for nothing.

Tang Lun Count said, "Don't tell any of your brothers. You should sneak away and report us to the governor's office."

Tang Yun trembled, and tears streamed down his face again.

His father was going to sacrifice the entire clan for him, Tang Yun!

Tang Yun's heart was about to burst.

Tang Lun Count said, "After you report me, immediately go to the capital and choose a prince to rely on."

Crown Prince Tang Yun said, "Who should I rely on?"

Tang Lun Count fell into a dilemma.

Should he rely on the crown prince or the third prince?

"Decide for yourself. I really can't see it clearly." Tang Lun Count said, "But remember, don't make Shen Lang your enemy. Don't make Xuan Wu Mansion your enemy."

Crown Prince Tang Yun said, "Why? It's because of Shen Lang that our family is in such a desperate situation. I swear that I will tear him to pieces in the future and completely destroy the Kim family. "

Earl Tang Lun slapped him across the face, sending Tang Yun flying.

"Idiot." Tang Lun Count roared, "If it wasn't for Shen Lang's reminder, even you wouldn't be alive."

Tang Yun said, "Could it be that I should swallow this hatred?"

Tang Lun Count said, "Even if you want to take revenge, you have to see who your enemy is."

Crown Prince Tang Yun was stunned.

Then he burst into tears again.

… …

That night.

Crown Prince Tang Yun of Jin Hai Count House left home and rushed to the governor's office of Tiannan Province day and night.

It was already midnight.

Governor Zhu Jung was still awake.

How could he sleep?

He read Zhang Chong's secret letter over and over again.

Then he felt cold all over.

The Kim family took over Raging Tide City.

From then on, they soared to the sky.

It couldn't be suppressed anymore.

At least the butcher's knife of the new government could no longer be used on them.

Zhang Chong was the sharpest knife. Although it didn't break, it had a big hole.

This trusted aide that he thought the most highly of had actually died in Nujiang County.

Fell in Xuan Wu Mansion.

Wasn't he strong enough?

No, he was strong to the extreme.

It was just that the son-in-law of Xuan Wu Mansion was too monstrous.

Although Zhu Jung didn't participate in the whole process, he saw it clearly.

It was simply a game of chess between two top experts.

In the end, Zhang Chong lost by half a move.

This was not only a loss for Zhang Chong, but also a loss for Governor Zhu Jung.

If Zhang Chong was the general of the new government, then Zhu Jung was the marshal who led the new government.

After the success of Dongjiang's Count House, once Xuan Wu Mansion succeeded again.

Then the new government would burn the entire State of Yue like a fire.

Like a knife cutting lard.

Like boiling water melting snow, there was no resistance.

Dongjiang was the most domineering, and Xuan Wu was the most persevering.

After taking down these two veteran nobles, the remaining nobles didn't have much power to resist.

But now the new government hit the head in front of Xuan Wu Mansion.

What should I do?

Continue?

Who should I find?

Who should I ask to copy the knife?

If I meet a hard bone and lose, I should put it aside and choose a soft bone?

If it was a fight of pride, of course, there was no problem.

But this was a political fight, and it needed to pay attention to momentum.

Once the momentum stopped, it needed to build up strength again and then make a comeback.

It was like a car that suddenly stopped on an obstacle. It needed to back up dozens of meters and build up speed again, instead of continuing to rush forward. That was powerless.

So!

The new government had to stop temporarily.

Maybe it would burn more fiercely on the surface, but in reality, it had to stop secretly.

Zhang Chong had to bear the responsibility, and so did Zhu Jung.

Of course, Zhu Jung wasn't worried about himself.

But he was worried about Zhang Chong.

The sharpest knife was broken just like that?

What kind of personality did the Monarch have? Zhu Jung knew it best.

Actually, in this battle, Zhang Chong didn't do anything wrong, and instead, he made a contribution.

But in the eyes of the Monarch, Zhang Chong lost, and he lost face.

"What should I do? How can I protect Zhang Chong? "

Zhu Jung had a splitting headache.

Advisor Yan Wuji said, "The Monarch must be furious, and his anger must be vented. Tang Lun alone isn't enough, the one he's most angry about is Zhang Chong, who actually lost to Shen Lang, making him lose face as a Monarch."

"Our Monarch is smart, but narrow-minded, mean, and merciless …" Yan Wuji said, "So if we want to save Zhang Chong, something big must happen, and make him even angrier. That way … Zhang Chong's career might have a chance."

Yan Wuji's family was wiped out because of the Monarch's inexplicable anger.

So, he never hid his attitude towards the Monarch in front of Zhu Jung.

Even after the Monarch wiped out the Yan clan, he felt guilty for letting a few of the Yan clan's disciples become officials.

And at this moment.

The servant outside said, "Master, Prince Tang Yun of the Jin Hai Count House is asking for an audience, saying he has an important secret report."

Governor Zhu Jung nodded and said, "Let him in."

A moment later, Prince Tang Yun rushed in, knelt in front of Zhu Jung and said, "Governor, I want to report that my father colluded with the pirate Chou Tianwei to take revenge on the Kim family, gave Jinshan Island to the pirates, and sent the family's private army to pretend to be pirates to attack the Wangya Island of the Xuan Wu Mansion. I, Tang Yun, am the third flower of the Monarch. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to be at the same time. I am willing to sacrifice my family for the country."

After saying that, Prince Tang Yun kowtowed and didn't move, holding up the report of his father with both hands.

Governor Zhu Jung took the report and glanced at it.

"Your father sent you?" Zhu Jung asked.

Prince Tang Yun knelt on the ground and didn't make a sound.

"It's not easy." Zhu Jung said, "You came just in time. If you were half an hour later, I would have entered the capital to ask for forgiveness from the Monarch."

Cold sweat broke out on Tang Yun's back.

Sure enough, the Tang family was so close to being wiped out.

Zhu Jung said, "Alright, get up and follow me to the capital."

Half an hour later.

A few hundred cavalrymen escorted Governor Zhu Jung out of the Tiannan Province and into the capital.

This was a political crisis of the highest order.

What would happen next would be like a bolt of lightning that would explode the entire State of Yue. Countless heads would fall to the ground.

Or would it be easy and peaceful?

It would depend on everyone's efforts and the will of the Monarch.

I hope it's the latter!

The war in the South Kingdom wasn't going as smoothly as expected.

The crazy Prince Jin had lured in a large number of Sand Barbarian troops, and the entire battlefield was filled with rivers of blood.

The State of Yue couldn't afford any more turmoil.

…

The capital of the State of Yue.

Inside the resplendent royal palace.

Monarch Ning Yuanxian was holding Zhang Chong's secret memorial in his hand.

This supreme monarch's long and narrow face was twitching.

After reading two pages, he tore the secret memorial into pieces.

"Bang!"

Then, he kicked the table in front of him away.

Instantly, all the eunuchs and officials in the hall knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe too loudly.

After tearing the memorial into pieces.

Monarch glanced at the pieces on the ground and said coldly, "Put them together. If even one piece is missing, I will hold you responsible."

"Yes!"

Several eunuchs stepped forward and carefully picked up each piece.

Then, they carefully pieced them together.

Then, they framed them.

Immediately, a complete memorial appeared in front of the Monarch.

Once again, the monarch finished reading Zhang Chong's entire secret memorial with an ashen face.

Then, he tore it into pieces again.

Then, the supreme monarch let out a series of angry roars.

"It's a rebellion!"

"The Kim clan is rebelling! That tortoise has popped its head out and is rebelling! "

"Zhang Chong is useless, Zhang Chong is useless!"

"Guards, bring Zhang Chong to the capital and throw him into the prison of the Black Water Base!"

"Let Zhu Jung come, let Nangong Ao come, gather the army, and get ready to suppress the rebellion!"

… …
