Chapter 477

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone around them changed.

Why?

Shen Lang is still thousands of miles away, why can he stop Zhu Hongzhu?

Many people in this world can compromise with Shen Lang, but the Zhu family cannot.

The key to beheading more than 10,000 people and beheading Ning Zheng's arm is completely a tough statement from Ning Shao, not only for Shen Lang, but more importantly for the Great Yan Empire.

And now Zhu Hongzhu stopped it, what did Ning Shao, the king of Yue, think?

"This chivalrous man, you should stay in my mansion first." Zhu Hongzhu said towards the Black Mirror spy.

"certainly."

Zhu Hongzhu turned around and walked outside and said, "I'm going to visit His Majesty King Yue."

He put on his hat and walked outside. Zhu Rong quickly caught up and said in a low voice, "Father, what exactly is written in Shen Lang's letter, is it so important?"

Zhu Hongzhu lowered his head and said, "Do you remember Zhu Yao?"

Zhu Rong trembled and said, "He, what happened to him?"

This person, Zhu Rong, of course knew that when Jiang Li was in great power, Zhu Yao was the egg that the Zhu family put in another basket.

If Jiang Li wins and wins the world in the future, then this Zhu Yao will become a lifeline for the Zhu family.

But this is of course a betrayal for the Great Yan Empire, so after Jiang Li's sudden death, the Zhu family first gave Zhu Yao an order to kill all the geniuses in Jiang Li's secret school. The other party did not recruit, and the Zhu family sent a master to hunt down Zhu Yao, intending to kill him completely, but this person disappeared.

That day, Ying Guang led the army into the valley where the secret school was located, and a fire burned everyone inside to death.

There were originally thousands of geniuses cultivated by Jiang Li, but only part of them escaped, and the rest were burned alive in the valley. Not only that, but almost all of your teachings were burned to death. Therefore, Yingguang and his son committed bloody crimes against Jiang Li.

The Zhu family searched for a long time, but could not find this Zhu Yao, so they could not help but feel relieved a little, thinking that this person was dead.

Zhu Rong whispered: "Father, what if Shen Lang finds this Zhu Yao? Has the Zhu family left any letters, and there is no evidence that our Zhu family ever wanted to have two boats. Besides, the royal family Didn't you also send Xue Yin to lurch beside Jiang Li?"

Zhu Hongzhu said: "Can that be the same? That is the royal family, that is the king, and we are the ministers. Let me ask you, what qualifications does our Zhu family have to send someone to stalk Jiang Li? We have reported to His Majesty the Emperor. Is it? We are civilians, do we have an intelligence organization that controls the Great Yan Empire?"

This is the key point. The Zhu family is not qualified to send spies, but they sent an illegitimate son to Jiang Li's side. This is because they want to have two boats, and this is because they want to speculate.

Zhu Rong thought for a while and said, "Shen Lang threatened us that if we don't stop the mass execution, Zhu Yao's identity will be made public?"

Imagine a little bit, if Shen Lang openly publicized Zhu Yao's identity at this time, on the surface, it would not do any harm to the Zhu family. But the emperor will definitely have grudges in his heart, especially at this time, it is the critical moment when the head of the Yanjing Zhu clan competes for the prime minister of the cabinet.

Two years ago, the Dayan Empire's New Deal was successful, and Shang Shutai was reorganized into a cabinet. In order to be conservative, a senior minister with high moral character was selected as the prime minister of the cabinet, and the head of the Zhu family was the second prime minister. After two or three years of transition, he would take over the position of prime minister. .

"The past few months have been critical for the head of the family. Although the prime minister's position is already guaranteed, if any scandal breaks out at this time, it will be magnified immediately. Those opponents in Yanjing will not miss such an opportunity. At that time, the prime minister of the empire will be It's hard to say." Zhu Hongzhu said: "In comparison, what is the life of Ning Zheng's arm and more than 10,000 people?"

Zhu Rong frowned, of course he knew the power of this matter, but just this matter made the Zhu family compromise? Isn't it a bit silly?

Zhu Hongzhu said: "Don't just think about prestige, our Zhu family is already prestige enough. Any prestige is fake, and the power in his hands is real. And what Shen Lang threatens us is not just about Zhu Yao, And one more deadly!"

"What?" Zhu Rong asked.

Zhu Hongzhu said: "The identity of Hongxue."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Rong's face changed drastically, and he even stood still.

At this time, Zhu Hongxue's weight in the Zhu family is unparalleled. His martial arts talent is too high, and he will become the second-in-command of Tianya Haige in the future, a position even higher than that of the Prime Minister of Yue.

Because once Shen Lang is eliminated, the Great Yan Empire will unite the six detached forces to block the entire eastern world again. The weight of the six detached forces such as Tianya Haige will increase again, so Zhu Hongxue must not have an accident.

If Zhu Hongxue's identity is revealed to be problematic at this time, then whether he can inherit the position of second-in-command in Tianya Haige in the future will become unknown.

After a while, Zhu Rong gritted his teeth and said, "Zhu Hongxue is my son, whoever wants to change this must die!"

Zhu Hongzhu said: "Do you know the reason now? Shen Lang made a deal with us. Before he fought the final battle with Tianyue City, Ning Yuanxian, Ning Zheng, Bian Xiao, Zhang Chong, and others who were arrested. Hundreds of thousands of people cannot be harmed."

………………

Inside the palace!

Zhu Hongzhu said directly: "Report to Your Majesty, the old minister wants to prevent the execution ceremony, Ning Zheng's arm can be cut or not cut, he is your brother after all, this can also show His Majesty's benevolent governance. ."

Yue Wang Ning Shao was stunned and looked at Lord Zhu Hong in disbelief. What does this mean? You also agreed with this matter before, and you also appreciate it very much. You feel that you must be tough enough with Shen Lang. Why have you changed your mind now?

"Master Xiang, why?" Yue Wang Ning Shao asked.

Zhu Hongzhu bowed and said: "All of this is for the sake of His Majesty's sage. If Ning Zheng is guilty, after Shen Lang is eliminated in the future, he can be punished, and he can't be cut off now. There are more than 10,000 people. , The old minister felt that it would be more justifiable to kill Shen Lang after killing Shen Lang."

Ning Shao, King of Yue, looked at Zhu Hongzhu for a long time. He couldn't imagine that Zhu Hongzhu would change his mind at a critical moment.

"Master Xiang, was Shen Lang who found you and threatened you?"

Zhu Hongzhu shook his head and said, "No such thing at all."

Then, he knelt down on his knees and kowtowed, "Please, Your Majesty, be kind."

Ning Shao, King of Yue, looked at Lord Zhu Hong, who was kneeling and trembling on the ground, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was even a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Then, he stepped forward and helped Zhu Hongzhu up and said: "There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, I still have to listen to the words of the master."

Next, King Ningshao of Yue gave an decree: "Come here, pass the decree to the execution ground, the execution ceremony is over, don't kill!"

………………

Above the square!

Zhu Rong was confronting Princess Ning Luo. He was here to stop the execution, but Ning Luo insisted that without the king's will, it was absolutely impossible to stop.

"Lord Zhu Rong, if I remember correctly, Yue Guo should still be surnamed Ning, not Zhu."

Zhu Rong bowed and said: "Of course, Your Highness Princess. I am not here to stop the execution, but to ask the two of you to wait for the will of the palace."

"Then wait." Princess Ning Luo sneered.

After the disfigurement, she wore a silver mask almost all the time, only showing two eyes, which made her look particularly cold.

And Ning Qi, the former third prince, and now Duke Qi, never said a word.

He used to be brilliant, especially in the battle of Chu Yue, his amazing talent was completely heartbreaking, and he was even called the best Ning royal family in hundreds of years.

However, after the Xue family was destroyed, he seemed to be completely absent from the crowd.

After the new king Ningshao came to power, he still expressed his allegiance, and even led an army to destroy the Nanhou Kingdom. As a result, after a few months of fighting, there was no tension. After Zhu Hongxue's 10,000 blood soul army passed, he wiped out the Sandman tribe and defeated Jinjun. Together with the civilians of the Sandman tribe, he slaughtered nearly one million. Thousands of miles of forest were burned.

After returning to the capital, the Duke of Qi did not perform well, nor did he express his own voice at all.

More than 10,000 prisoners knelt down neatly on the ground, silent, their faces full of despair.

Most of this group of people had followed Ning Zheng and Shen Lang indirectly, especially Ning Zheng's direct line in the Tianyue Admiral's Mansion.

If it was placed before, they would still shout that they were wronged, but they have been detained for two years, and they are almost numb.

Among them, the entire family of City Lord Liu Wuyan knelt in it, and he was actually among the first batch of beheadings. God is pitiful, he has been Shen Lang's enemy for a long time, and he has two charges.

The first one, when he saw Shen Lang in Xuanwu City, he stepped to the side of the road and gave a deep bow.

Second, after Shen Lang escaped overseas, Liu Wuyan resigned, and was judged to be resentful, sympathetic and miss Jiang Li.

The sand in the hourglass gradually slipped, and three o'clock in the afternoon was coming soon. At this time, the great eunuch who was sent by King Ningshao of Yue to convey the decree was not walking fast, not even in a hurry.

The last drop of sand in the hourglass had run out, and looking at the pendulum clock, it was already pointing to three quarters of noon.

"The time is up." Princess Ning Luo said: "King Qi, let's cut."

Ning Qi shuddered and said, "Since Lord Zhu said there will be a new will, why not wait?"

Princess Ning Luo said coldly, "Ning Qi, do you also want to rebel? Do you also sympathize with Shen Lang's remnants?"

Zhu Rong said loudly: "His Royal Highness Princess, wait, wait, the eunuch in the palace has come, come!"

Ning Luo sternly said, "Then stop when it comes!"

Then, she went straight to the place, grabbed the token in front of Ning Qi, threw it on the ground, and said loudly, "Cut!"

"Shhhhhhh..."

The first batch of executioners raised their knives, blood spattered, and more than 300 heads were chopped off.

The onlookers almost instinctively covered their eyes, and the whole square was covered in blood. Ning Qi's face twitched suddenly, staring at the blood all over the floor in a daze.

At this time, Princess Ningluo's eyes were particularly enthusiastic and excited, and this kind of killing brought her a strong stimulation.

Only this kind of killing can make him pour out the hatred and anger in his heart. After the defeat of Nanfuguo, she became Jinjun's captive, and she didn't hate it very much at that time, because the transformed Jinjun had a very strong and special charm.

Although she didn't say it, she had some kind of fantasy in her heart. Moreover, the relationship between Jinjun and Yueguo changed very quickly, from an enemy to an ally, so the possibility of a reunion between husband and wife is not impossible.

However, Queen Jin Jun disfigured her Ning Luo directly in order to monopolize Jin Jun, and she was not punished by Jin Jun.

After that, Ning Luo was ugly and lived in Nanhou country like a ghost. No one sought justice for her, neither did Jun Jin, neither did Shen Lang, nor did her father Wang Ning Yuanxian.

She began to hate everyone, Jin Jun, Shen Lang, and Ning Yuanxian.

Today, her heart is dark and cold, and only the blood of slaughter can arouse her excitement a little.

"Keep killing, keep killing..." Princess Ning Luo roared loudly.

Then, the second batch of executioners slashed down.

At this time, the eunuch of the King of Yue had already arrived, holding a brand-new imperial decree in his hand to stop the imperial decree of the execution ceremony.

At this moment, he should have shouted that someone was left under the sword, but he didn't.

Zhu Rong glared at the eunuch and hissed, "Eunuch Nian."

The eunuch appeared on the execution ground, and the second batch of executioners parked their swords in mid-air, waiting for the arrival of the new imperial decree. Because they don't want to kill either, this group of people are innocent.

The executioner will not be guilty of killing people who are full of evil, but if he kills innocent people, he will accumulate karma.

However, Ning Shao's official coughed his throat and never spoke, as if his throat was uncomfortable.

Princess Ning Luo said coldly, "What are you still doing? Keep killing!"

The executioner whispered in his heart, "I'm sorry."

Then they slashed the big swords in their hands, and more than 200 heads fell to the ground.

At this time, Ning Shao's eunuch Eunuch Nian finished clearing his throat and said, "Your Majesty has a decree to interrupt the execution ceremony!"

All the executioners let out a long sigh of relief. Ning Luo's cold eyes twitched. She couldn't kill 10,000 people. Of course, it wasn't enough, but at least 500 people were killed, which could satisfy her cold and dark heart.

Zhu Rong looked at the blood all over the ground and hundreds of human heads, then at Princess Ning Luo, and at Eunuch Nian.

This is King Ning Shao of Yue taking the opportunity to show his power. This eunuch could have arrived at the execution ground before three quarters of noon, and he could have been killed alone. But he walked over slowly, and waited until five hundred people were killed before declaring the decree.

Among the Ning royal family, aside from Ning Yi, there really isn't a single fuel-efficient lamp.

"Eunuch Nian, do it yourself." Zhu Rong bowed his hands to Princess Ning Luo and left.

And Ning Qi looked at the heads on the ground, this Yue Wang Ning Shao was still showing his fangs.

But how innocent are these five hundred people? What is their relationship with Shen Lang? The only people who are related are probably who worked in Jinshan Pavilion, and who once shouted long live Jiang Li in Tianyue City.

But no matter what, they all died for Shen Lang.

Ning Qi knew Shen Lang quite well. This man must be revengeful. Now Ning Shao killed 500 people. Although they were all people who had nothing to do with Shen Lang, they would definitely offend him, so Shen Lang would definitely take revenge.

………………

In Zhu Hongzhu's prime minister's mansion, Zhu Rong was furious.

"What does Ning Shao mean? He not only protested against Shen Lang, but also against us." Zhu Ronghan said, "Now the entire court is under the control of our Zhu clan, and we represent the will of the Great Yan Empire. What does he want to do?"

Zhu Hongzhu said: "Did Ning Yi stop him? Did he cut off Ning Zheng's arm?"

Zhu Rong said: "It was stopped. He was very dissatisfied, but he was still stopped."

Zhu Hongzhu said: "That's good! As long as Ning Zheng and Zhang Chong are all right, Shen Lang will not take revenge on Zhu's head this time. We Zhu's have done our best in this matter, the killing was caused by Ning Shao. Come down and let Ning Shao feel Shen Lang's crazy revenge, it will definitely be unforgettable."

Zhu Rong said: "Father, in today's matter, Ning Shao is against us, why should he?"

Zhu Hongzhu said: "Tongtian Temple."

Zhu Rong said: "Ning Shao is a monk in Tongtian Temple, but Tongtian Temple used to be very close to Jiang Li. What qualifications does it have to want to invade the sphere of influence of Yue Kingdom? Yue Kingdom is my Zhu clan and Tianya Haige. of."

His Majesty Jiang Li was kind to Tongtian Temple. Back then, the Da Jie Temple had a huge influence in the East. It was His Majesty Jiang Li who led a huge martial arts army to destroy the Da Jie Temple.

In the battle of the Great Tribulation Palace, His Majesty Jiang Li killed thousands of top experts in the Great Tribulation Temple. And all the properties of the Great Tribulation Temple in the Eastern World, whether it is an ancient book or other more important assets, have fallen into the hands of Tongtian Temple and Xuankong Temple.

It is precisely because of this that Ning Yuanxian sent Ning Shao to become a monk in Tongtian Temple back then, because that was considered a detached force close to His Majesty Jiang Li.

But after the sudden death of His Majesty Jiang Li, Tongtian Temple immediately changed its position and directly dispatched monk soldiers to help the Dayan Empire destroy the Dagan Empire. In a sense, Tongtian Temple also directly betrayed Jiang Li.

On the other hand, the Hanging Temple seems to be very low-key. When the Dayan Empire destroyed the Daqian Empire, no troops were dispatched.

When the Dayan Empire destroyed Shen Lang two years ago, Tongtian Temple really sent countless experts, and the entire fleet. The Hanging Temple only sent a small boat, and no monks showed up.

Zhu Hongzhu said lightly: "The imperial empress dowager has been to Tongtian Temple three times within two years, and His Majesty the emperor has also summoned monks from Tongtian Temple three times to the palace to lecture on scriptures."

Zhu Rong understood that His Majesty the Emperor did not want Tianya Haige to dominate the Yue Kingdom, and wanted Tongtian Temple to balance it.

Ning Shao, King of Yue, also saw this, so at a critical moment, he confronted Zhu Hongzhu a little, and started killing the so-called Shen Lang's remnants, beheading 500 people.

………………

Zhu Hongzhu secretly summoned the spy of the Black Mirror Division once again.

"Strong man, I'm very sorry, even though we tried our best to stop it, five hundred people were killed." Zhu Hongzhu said: "Please make sure to tell Shen Lang clearly, my son Zhu Rong went to the execution ground ahead of schedule, but he still couldn't. Stop Princess Ning Luo. The eunuch sent by the king was half an hour late, so 500 people were beheaded."

The spy of the Black Mirror Division said, "Is Ning Shao's eunuch who declared the decree arrived at the execution ground half an hour late?"

Zhu Rong said: "Yes, and his walking speed is not in a hurry."

The Black Mirror Division spy narrowed his eyes and said, "Understood, this is a provocation to my majesty."

Zhu Hongzhu said: "In this transaction, we have shown full sincerity. We will continue this sincerity in the future. Please tell your Excellency Shen Lang."

The spy of the Black Mirror Division said slowly: "Lord Zhu Hong, don't you have anything you want to give me?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Hongzhu and Zhu Rong's eyes lit up and they were amazed.

This, this is just a spy of Shen Lang lurking in Tianyue City. Does he have such eyes and such talent?

Zhu Hongzhu fell into silence and hesitation.

The spy of the Black Mirror Division said: "I have followed His Majesty for several years, and I know his character very well. Although these five hundred people have nothing to do with His Majesty Shen Lang, this is Ning Shao's provocation to him, His Majesty must I want revenge, 10 times and 100 times. I think Lord Zhu Hong can give my Majesty a convenience in this matter, otherwise my Majesty will probably take anger on Zhu's head. "

Zhu Hongzhu thought for a moment, then brought a map, took a pen, and drew a circle at a certain point on the map.

Then, he immediately burned the map completely.

The spy of the Black Mirror Division will immediately remember the position circled by Zhu Hongzhu on the map, and then bow down and say: "I remember, I will report back to Your Majesty. My Majesty will soon raise troops to attack Tianyue City. , but before that, no matter whether it is Wang Ningyuanxian, the Supreme Being of Yue State, or King Ningzheng of Yue, or Prime Minister Zhang Chong, Duke Bian Xiao, Li Xun, Li Mu, Eunuch Li En, and others, all of them cannot be harmed. If they are hurt, we will still credit the Zhu family for this account."

Zhu Hongzhu said: "We will do our best to complete the transaction with Lord Shen Lang until the final battle."

The Black Mirror Division spy said, "Then leave!"

Zhu Hongzhu said: "We will send someone to escort the strong man to leave Tianyue City and go to Xuanwu City!"

………………

Three days later!

The Black Mirror Division spy knelt in front of Shen Lang and reported everything in Tianyue City completely.

Shen Lang was furious and smashed the paperweight in his hand to pieces.

Unexpectedly, the Zhu family compromised on this matter, but Ningshao, the king of Yue, became more public.

This is a provocation, it is hitting Shen Lang in the face, and it is also hitting the face of the Zhu family.

Zhu Hongzhu had already come forward to stop the execution ceremony, but Ning Shao still deliberately killed 500 people.

Although these people actually have nothing to do with Shen Lang, they are at least named after Shen Lang's remnants, so to a certain extent they are Shen Lang's people, and they died for Shen Lang.

Ning Shao executed these people to demonstrate to Shen Lang.

The Black Mirror spy took out the map and drew a circle at a certain point.

"Where is this?" Shen Lang asked.

"This is a snow-capped mountain in the west of Yanzhou, on the border with Chu State." The Black Mirror Division spy said, "This place is called Bird's End Mountain, and there is a Bird's End City on it."

Thousands of mountains and birds are flying, which means that this snow-capped mountain is no longer inhabited.

Xueyin said: "I know that Bird Jue City used to be a stronghold of the Great Tribulation Temple. It was captured by His Majesty and completely abandoned. Although it is not as good as the Great Tribulation Palace, it is also a castle on a mountain."

Shen Lang said: "Zhu Hongzhu circled this place, which means that this place is related to Tongtian Temple and Ning Shao? Focus on checking, did Ning Shao have a woman or a son when he became a monk? If it is determined that this is the secret base of Tongtian Temple, and if it is determined to be related to Ning Shao, then the city will be annihilated!"

"Ning Shao dares to kill me five hundred people, then I will pay ten times and a hundred times, and I will let him know that I, Shen Lang, cannot provoke me."

Note: Yesterday's sleep was extremely poor, today this chapter is late, and I will adjust it tomorrow. I went to dinner and wrote the second update non-stop. Brothers, please give me the monthly pass. The pastry is really glassy and fragile.
