Chapter 144

The arrogant Tang Yun returned to his room after participating in the literary battle, picked up a book and read it with relish.

A quarter of an hour passed, and he was still reading this page.

Half an hour has passed, and he is still reading this page.

An hour and a half later, he is still reading this page.

What is he doing?

In aftertaste and fantasy.

It took half an hour to recall the strategies and poems I wrote.

Next, I imagined how amazing Uncle Ning Qi and Marquis Suoxuan were when they read their own strategy poems, which took half an hour.

When Final Fantasy announced the results, when everyone was rushing to tout him first, they were amazed when they read his poems and articles, and it took another half an hour.

While imagining, waiting.

Waiting for good news to come.

Although he has no interest in defeating a fat house like Jin Mucong, who would be too much of a victory?

The most important thing is that he turned the tide and saved the fate of the family.

Tang Yan almost lost the future of the family, and it was Tang Yun who turned the tide.

Waiting and waiting, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Why hasn't the news come yet?

Although I won't have any suspense, although I didn't go to the scene, I still care about the result.

How could you not inform me the first time?

And at this moment, a servant rushed in.

"Prince, prince..."

Tang Yun picked up the book in his hand, finally turned a page, and said indifferently: "What's it called? What's the joy of defeating such wastes as Jin Mucong in a mere civil war?"

After the servant rushed in, he trembled and said, "Sir, you...you lost."

Tang Yun was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Are you crazy? Are you kidding me like this?

The servant said: "Sir, this is true, you lost."

Tang Yun said: "I lost to Jin Mucong? It's ridiculous, the ridiculousness of the world."

The servant said: "It's true, Prince, the scene is all bombed, you can go and see."

Tang Yun stood up suddenly and walked outside.

At this time, it was still pouring rain outside.

………………

By the time Tang Yun arrived outside the Nujiang hunting grounds school, there was no one there.

Because Uncle Ning Qi went into a rage just now, Duke Mighty's brows were only wrinkled, and his soul was almost dissipated.

These people scattered one after another and went to find their backbone, Master Zhang Chong.

Now that Uncle Ning Qi has publicly announced the victory of the Earl Xuanwu Palace, it is almost impossible to change this result.

Now it's up to Master Zhang Chong to see if he can turn the tide.

Tang Yun was alone, standing under the wall.

Although it was already night, there were still maddening lanterns hanging from the walls.

Although it was raining heavily, the walls outside the school had wide eaves. Although the articles posted outside were a little wet, they could still be seen clearly.

Tang Yun immediately rushed to his answer sheet.

Filled with conspiracy theories, he immediately thought, could it be someone who stole his exam papers, or deliberately sabotaged it?

He thinks too much.

His articles and poems, complete and verbatim, are posted on it.

Then he hurriedly read Jin Mucong's strategy theory and poems.

Take a quick look at it first.

Then, his heart thumped violently.

After all, he is a tanhualang, and he has real talents and practical learning.

Aside from prejudice, he could see at a glance that Jin Mucong's strategy was very clever.

The idea is much more profound.

Unlike his Tang Yun's strategy, it seems to be flamboyant and sharp, but it is actually a little weak.

Some places are even far-fetched.

On the one hand, he likes to use gorgeous rhetoric, and on the other hand, he wants to take the opportunity to flatter the monarch.

Therefore, in terms of pure policy theory, the two articles are more than one level apart.

It's fine to list his Tang Yun's theories separately, but when the two are put together, they are set off as vulgar and bleak.

Look at the poems on Jin Mucong's examination paper.

In just a few dozen words, I read it in a moment.

However, it is deafening.

Even when I meditate on this song "Turtle Although Longevity", there seems to be a memory in my ears.

It's so well written!

Compared with the stacking of Tang Yun's gorgeous rhetoric, it is simply incomparable.

Spike!

A real spike!

Lost!

really lost.

It's not an illusion, he really lost the text war.

Not only that, the entire Tang family lost the battle for Jinshan Island.

But Tang Yun couldn't feel the same way about the failure of the Jinshan Island dispute.

The only thing he cares about now is one thing.

He actually lost to the trash Jin Mucong.

Next, this incident will spread throughout the country of Vietnam.

He will be a laughing stock.

He was a tanhualang before, how brilliant he is, how ridiculous it will be in the future.

Kim Mook-song!

Fat house!

rubbish!

Your dignified Tanhua Lang actually lost to him?

What a shame?

Tang Yun was cold all over, and the umbrella in his hand had already fallen.

The cold icy rain patted randomly on the face.

No, this was not written by Jin Mucong, it must not be Jin Mucong.

It must be Shen Lang!

Yes, it must be Shen Lang!

"Ah...ah...ah..."

"Shen Lang, you and I are at odds, I will definitely smash your corpse into ten thousand pieces!"

Tang Yun roared wildly, full of infinite unwillingness and pain.

………………

Shen Lang didn't wait for the result, he was also reading.

The Thirteen Classics of Yin and Yang

And there are pictures, although not as good as him, but better than nothing.

But he is also pretending.

A quarter of an hour passed, and he stared at the page without turning it over.

Half an hour passed, and he still hadn't turned the page.

An hour and a half passed, and he still hadn't turned over the night.

At this moment, there were crazy footsteps outside, as if a pig was running.

Thinking with the fart he let out, he also knew that it was Jin Mucong.

"Brother-in-law, I won, I won!"

"I crushed Tang Yun, hahahahaha!"

Jin Mucong rushed in frantically.

Shen Lang said lightly: "What's the hurry? If you win, you will win. What's the excitement?"

I don't know why, but this scene seems a little familiar.

Jin Mucong said: "Brother-in-law, you are playing me again. The two questions in the Wen Zhan exam today are not at all the two questions you gave me last night. When I saw these two questions, I was almost scared to pee."

"What?" Shen Lang shivered suddenly, and the book in his hand almost fell.

Jin Mucong said, "What's wrong, brother-in-law?"

Shen Lang said: "What do you say today's topic is?"

Jin Mucong said: "The topic of the policy is the ultimate theory of punishment and reward, and the topic of poetry is Xuanwu."

This time, Shen Lang was almost scared to pee.

Why is it happening like that?

Yesterday, I could see clearly with X-ray vision, but there are two other questions.

Why did the scene change again?

Shen Lang's mind turned rapidly.

Then, he understood immediately.

Yesterday, he showed his flaws again.

In the military battle, Mulan played very cautiously and didn't fight hard at all, which was very unusual.

If it is related to the fate of the family, Mulan will definitely give up her life to fight, or even die together.

Why didn't she do that?

Because of the victory in the war of letters with confidence.

Zhang Chong must have caught this flaw, and then he tried to get Uncle Ning Qi to change the subject.

Whether it's the imperial examination, or this kind of literary competition, there will be spare questions.

Shen Lang couldn't help being horrified.

Zhang Chong, are you a human or a ghost?

So arrogant?

In the second military battle, Earl Xuanwu's mansion was a sure win. It was Zhang Chong who noticed something was wrong and made a decision to ask Jin Haibo to borrow masters from several families. This was the result of a draw.

In the third literary battle, Zhang Chong even asked Ning Qi to change the exam questions.

Just a little bit, let Zhang Chong turn the tables.

The Earl of Xuanwu almost lost.

Shen Lang can win this last battle, it really depends on strength for three points, and luck for seven points.

God is helping him.

Of course, the reason why Shen Lang was able to bet on the title was because he was well prepared.

It is really intentional to plant flowers and flowers, but inadvertently plant willows and willows to make shade.

Never underestimate the heroes of the world.

Seeing Shen Lang in a daze, Jin Mucong couldn't help but say, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter with you?"

"Oh, nothing?" Shen Lang laughed and said, "Of course I'm kidding you, hahaha..."

For some reason, Jin Mucong felt that his brother-in-law laughed a little embarrassedly.

Shen Lang's face was smiling, but his heartstrings were raised again.

It must not be taken lightly, the victory of the battle for Jinshan Island is just the beginning.

Next is the climax, the main event.

"Fatty, didn't you want to slap Tang Yun in the face? Why did you come back so soon?" Shen Lang said.

Jin Mucong said: "I want to tell you the good news as soon as possible."

Shen Lang said again: "You have already told me, now you can slap Tang Yun in the face, slap the face hard, go!"

Jin Mucong said weakly, "I, I don't dare, I'm afraid I won't be able to beat him."

Coward!

……………………

Zhang Chong has been kneeling in the courtyard of the castle on the top of the mountain.

It rained heavily, and it had been raining for several hours.

His thin body was kneeling straight, motionless.

The torrential rain hit his body as if it were hitting a rock.

Zhang Jin and Zhang Chunhua could not persuade their father, so they knelt by the side together.

Zhang Chong said: "Zhang Jin can kneel, Chunhua, go back."

Zhang Chunhua said: "No, I kneel with my father. I am also a member of the Zhang family. My father is suffering, how can I enjoy it?"

Zhang Chong said: "You have a daughter's family, and you don't wear thick clothes. When you get drenched in the rain, what kind of decency do you have?"

Yup!

The skirt is attached to the body, and the curves of the figure are fully revealed, and the silk is very transparent.

Zhang Chunhua left.

After a while, she came back, wearing a shoji, and knelt on her father's right.

The Zhang family of three knelt here and begged Wang Shuningqi's forgiveness.

Zhang Chong felt very pleased.

Although his sons and daughters have such and such problems, at least they are filial and have the same heart.

In a family, unity is the most important thing.

Shortly after dark, Wang Shu Ningqi, the mighty Gong Bian Xiao, and the Marquis of Suoxuan all came.

Seeing the Zhang family of three, kneeling neatly in the yard, Wang Shu Ningqi's eyes trembled slightly.

Especially Zhang Chunhua's daughter's house is also kneeling here.

This is the end of autumn, the rain is very cold, and it is really uncomfortable to kneel for a few hours.

Wang Shuningqi stepped forward and said, "Zhang Nujiang, get up and go back, I'm not angry anymore."

Zhang Chong said: "Chong is kneeling here, not to relieve you, but if you make a mistake, you should be punished."

Wang Shuning said: "Zhang Chong, your guess is right. Shen Lang may... really know the exam questions in advance, and you really have no choice."

Zhang Chong felt relieved.

Wang Shuning said: "But... people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. Our backup question was still bet by him. Jin Mucong won.

Zhang Chong was like a lightning strike.

The thin face twitched violently.

He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out, his eyes went black, and he slammed his head on the ground.

"Father, father..."

Zhang Jin and Zhang Chunhua stepped forward and helped their father up.

Wang Shu Ningqi couldn't bear it in his heart: "Hurry up and help your father into the castle and drink a sip of hot ginger soup, hurry, hurry..."

But soon Zhang Chong woke up by himself, and his lips were purple.

Pushing Zhang Jin and Zhang Chunhua away, he bowed to Wang Shuning and said, "Thank you Wang Shu for telling me, Chong knows."

In just a moment, he was quiet again.

Then, he continued to stand upright on his knees.

Wang Shu Ningqi, the mighty Duke Bian Xiao completely changed.

Is there still such a strong person in the world?

After receiving such a blow, he recovered in just an instant, and he was full of fighting spirit again?

Wang Shuning said loudly: "Lord Zhang Chong, I beg you not to kneel. It's not you, it's me!"

"Come here, take Master Zhang back to rest, and find the best doctor to treat him."

"Yes!"

Several warriors stepped forward and forcibly carried Zhang Chong away and returned to his room.

…………

Even if the rain poured down, the entire residence of the Earl of Xuanwu was still plunged into a sea of ​​joy.

There was no samurai on duty, so I picked up the wine and drank it.

I didn't expect it to be a big win.

Since then, Jinshan Island has belonged to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.

Everyone thinks they will lose.

Unexpectedly, not only did he win, but it was the son of Cong Jinmu who turned the tide.

The world is so...interesting.

In Uncle Xuanwu's study, a secret meeting was being held.

Only four people participated.

Uncle Xuanwu, Jin Mulan, Shen Lang, Jin Mucong.

Why did you say Jin Mucong participated?

He is the prince after all.

And he has a huge advantage, that is, he is tight-lipped, and he will never say anything that should not be said.

At that time, he refused to sell even a scum like Xu Wenzhao, which shows how high the character value of the fat house is.

So there is no fear that he will leak the secrets discussed in the meeting.

However, the fat house did not have the slightest excitement to participate in the core meeting. Instead, he was lethargic and his soul flew out of the sky.

Shen Lang said: "Fatty, what are you doing?"

Fei Zhai shook his head and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm really bored, I... Can I copy books here?"

Damn, it's really muddy and can't support the wall.

You are the one who killed Tang Yun, Tanhua Lang, and you are still thinking about the code word all the time.

What's so good about codewords?

Can't you be a little bit more ambitious?

"Go, go." Shen Lang waved: "Go for what you love."

"Hey!" The fat house went out happily.

Uncle Xuanwu sighed helplessly in his heart.

"Ugh!"

Immediately afterwards, the daughter-in-law Mulan couldn't help but sigh.

...

After Jin Mucong left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became serious.

The decision-making team of the trio is also good.

There are many famous top three groups in history like xxx, xx, xx.

Shen Lang's face was solemn, and he said solemnly.

"Father-in-law, madam! The three battles of the competition are over, and we have won a big victory."

"But the fun has just begun!"

"The next thing is the real climax, and it's your life-and-death battle."

"However, we finally won the first step, and we have turned passive into active, and turned defense into attack."

"The second step, the Wangya Island strategy will be officially launched!"

"We won the battle for Jinshan Island. Maybe many people hope that we will invest a steady stream of strategic resources on this island."

"But, never!"

"After taking back the ownership, we will neither develop nor station troops."

"I want to turn Jinshan Island into a meat grinder, hoping to drain the blood of the enemy."

"Of course, what we need to do now is revenge!"

"The clown who danced so well before, this time he's going to be shot to death!"

"Especially Zhu Lanting, Zhu Wenhua and his son! The last time they dared to piss me off at a banquet. For the sake of the overall situation of the Jinshan Island dispute, I put up with them and made them jump for a few more days."

"This time, I must destroy his family!"

Shen Lang walked out the window and looked at the pouring rain outside.

It hasn't stopped since noon.

The rainstorm should have come only in summer, but this kind of rainstorm at the end of autumn is really terrible.

The water level of the Nu River must have skyrocketed, and the storage lake must be almost full.

Shen Lang said: "Father-in-law, if I were the enemy of the Jin family, I would come up with a poisonous plan. Dig up the dykes upstream of our fief, let the monstrous flood of the storage lake pour in, and turn our family fief into a vast ocean, turning countless fiefs into the ocean. The houses of the people were completely submerged, giving us a devastating blow."

As soon as these words came out, Uncle Xuanwu's expression changed immediately and he stood up abruptly.

If Shen Lang's worries become a reality, the consequences will be completely unimaginable.

How many people will die by then?

All the resources of the entire Xuanwu Earl's Mansion will be devoted to disaster relief.

It will consume astronomical amounts of money, manpower, and material resources, and the entire rhythm will be disrupted.

Shen Lang said: "We came out this time and took away 800 soldiers. There are only 2,000 private troops left behind. This is not the most important thing. The key is that all the leaders such as Jin Hui, Jin Zhong, Jin Shiying, Jin Cheng, and Mulan are here. Now, there are only Mrs. Lin, Old Master Lin, Jin Jianniang, and the army without a leader."

Uncle Xuanwu said, "Let Mulan, Jin Hui, and Jin Shiying go back immediately."

Shen Lang thought for a while and shook his head.

"Tomorrow will announce the result of the dispute over Jinshan Island, and the two parties will formally sign a contract to transfer the ownership of Jinshan Island to our Jin family, and Mulan cannot go back."

And the most important thing is that passive defense is not enough, you must take the initiative to attack.

Shen Lang spread out the map and saw everything clearly.

The Nujiang River is just north of Xuanwu City and flows into the sea.

In order to store water for irrigation, several dykes were built on the south side of the Nujiang River hundreds of years ago, forming a natural water storage lake.

The entire dam is divided into many sections, which are built between valleys, and then use the natural mountains to store the river water.

In times of drought, water is released to irrigate the farmland.

The entire water storage lake spans Nujiang County and Yangwu County.

There are five dams in Nujiang County and three dams in Yangwu County.

Among them, there are three sections of dams above the fief of Earl Xuanwu, which can be said to be hard to guard against.

Now that the elites of the private army of the Earl Xuanwu's Mansion are all in the Nujiang hunting ground, it is too late to return to the rescue.

The only way is to take the initiative to attack!

Shen Lang's eyes fell on a corner of the map.

"Father-in-law, this should be the Lanshan Viscount Mansion." Shen Lang said.

Uncle Xuanwu nodded.

The entire Lanshan Viscount Mansion is located in a valley. Although his family's fief is gone, tens of thousands of acres of manor are still there.

Previously, the Zhu family built a dam on the north side of the manor for their own personal gain, and then brought in the water from the Nujiang impounding lake.

So even in the dry season, the Zhu family's manor has a bumper harvest.

Shen Lang said: "Is this valley all the manor of Viscount Lanshan?"

Uncle Xuanwu nodded and said, "All."

Shen Lang said: "Are there other civilian fields and houses?"

Uncle Xuanwu said: "There were originally several villages, but after Zhu Lanting handed over all the fiefs and military power, the monarch gave all the fields and mountains in this valley to Zhu Lanting as compensation for him, so at this time Zhu Lanting's manor is bigger than ours. There are tens of thousands of acres of fields and plantations, and there are no other civilian villages and towns."

Shen Lang said: "Jin Hui, come in!"

After a while, Jin Hui came in.

Shen Lang pointed at the map and said: "You can go home as soon as possible, call Uedian Thirteen. You go and destroy the dyke above the Lanshan Viscount Manor, and let the flood flood into his castle and manor, submerging everything. !"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was horrified.

This uncle is really ruthless.

Shen Lang said: "Let Tian Shisan go to the bitter water land in the east, open a large opening in the dam there, and divert most of the flood water to the bitter water land. There is already a saline-alkali land where no one lives."

"Only in this way will our fiefdom of the Earl of Xuanwu be completely safe and there will be no flooding."

When the flood water was released from another place, the water level dropped, and the fief of Earl Xuanwu would not be in danger.

"Remember, don't completely destroy the dams in this bitter water area, just open a big hole to release the flood."

"The dam on the north side of the Lanshan Viscount Manor should not be opened too much. Make sure to destroy Zhu Lanting's manor and submerge his castle, but the water should not be too fierce, so that people in the valley have enough time to escape. "

"What I want to kill is Zhu Lanting's family, and try not to harm other innocent people."

Jin Hui said: "Master, these dams are all made of stone. It is very difficult to open a hole, and it requires a lot of manpower. We will lead the army to rush there, but it will be too late, and it will take a long time to excavate. And Zhu Lanting The dyke on the north side of the estate must be defended, so it is difficult to succeed."

Shen Lang said: "Remember my No. 3 underground secret room?"

Jin Hui knew that Shen Lang had many strange things, all of which were kept in the underground secret room outside the castle.

"Go to Xiaobing for the key, then go to the No. 3 underground secret room, take out the box inside, just make a small opening in the dam, put the box in, ignite the lead, and then leave immediately."

"Next, the dike will be blown open."

"Remember, don't open the contents of the box, and don't let others see it."

"When the dam is blown up, it will also create the illusion of a natural collapse. The things in the box cannot be brought to the world now, otherwise there will be a disaster."

"Also, detain Tian Shisan's parents, don't leave the castle one step."

"Go to work!"

Jin Hui bowed and said, "Yes!"

Then, he left the Nujiang hunting ground in the rain, and quickly returned to the Earl of Xuanwu on horseback to fulfill Shen Langdao's orders.

………………

Zhang Chong fell ill.

Jin Haibo and his party went to see him, but were blocked by Zhang Jin.

"Lord Zhang Chong, Wen Zhan must be Shen Lang's fraud, we can't just forget about it."

"You must find a way to save the situation. Uncle Ning Qi will announce the final result of the Jinshan Island dispute tomorrow morning."

"Once the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion is declared to be the winner, the contract for the transfer of ownership of Jinshan Island must be signed in public."

"By that time, it will be too late."

After a while, Zhang Chong asked Zhang Chunhua to come out and spread a word.

"If this game is lost, don't fight, and move on to the next game immediately. Don't make any rash moves. When I'm mature, I'll make the next move."

Zhang Chunhua repeated it twice, telling Jin Haibo and the others not to act rashly, otherwise it would give Shen Lang an opportunity.

Then, Zhang Jin forced Jin Haibo and his party out, so that his father Zhang Chong could recuperate in peace.

………………

After returning to the station.

Jin Haibo Tang Lun and others were furious.

"Hmph, this Chong is just pretending!"

"It was great before, but it's not very useful at critical moments."

"What else do you say, don't act rashly. Are you waiting for Shen Lang to put the knife on our necks? He is just a prefect, what power does he have to call us nobles?"

"Yes, yes! Can't wait, we must act, we must take revenge!"

At this moment, Viscount Lanshan Zhu Lanting said quietly: "I have a poisonous plan that can destroy the entire fief of the Earl Xuanwu."

Everyone was shocked and said, "What kind of trick?"

Zhu Lanting said: "It is normal for the dam to collapse now that the rain is pouring. If the dam to the north of Earl Xuanwu's mansion collapses, the monstrous flood will pour into the Jin family's manor and his fief."

"At that time, the countless fertile fields, villages, towns, and castles of the Jin family will be submerged by floods, and there will be countless casualties."

"What a devastating blow to the Earl of Xuanwu?"
