"I didn't expect that one day I would be as old as Su Nan."
Ning Yuanxian, the ruler of the country, was booing and sighing.
His hair was a little white, but now it was half dyed white.
Not only that, he had been eating very lightly for the past month, and he had lost about ten pounds.
With some deliberate dressing up, he looked like he was twenty years older.
He was in his fifties. He used to look in his thirties, but now he looks in his seventies.
There was no way. The world only believed what they wanted to believe.
Whether it was the people or the officials, they believed that Ning Yuanxian had suffered a stroke, and that it was on the woman's stomach, and that his life would not be long.
Because a stroke is very easy to relapse, once it relapses, it will definitely die.
At this time, even if ning yuanxian stood up and said that he was fine, it would not help.
In that case, he simply acted to the extreme.
He appeared to be extremely weak.
In the past month, he never went to court and was still the crown prince's prison.
Of course, ning yuanxian had to do the important things himself.
"Hey!" Ning Yuanxian put down the paper in his hand.
He was no longer angry, or else he would have died of anger.
The people in this world are so realistic, whether it is the people or the officials.
How glorious was ning yuanxian a few months ago when he defeated the Su Nan rebellion and won the wu yue war?
What was the pinnacle of fame?
When did his reputation begin to deteriorate?
It was because of Crazy Lan and the ten beggars.
At that time, Ning Yuanxian allowed them to take the civil and military examinations, which caused a lot of trouble.
Every day, the imperial court and the civil and military ministers spouted out that he regarded the imperial examination as a child's play. On the surface, he was attacking Shen Lang, but in fact, he was pointing his sword at the emperor.
What happened?
Crazy Lan high school xie yuan.
All the ten brothers of the lan family were on the gold list.
It turned out that he was not a fatuous ruler, but a wise and wise man.
At that time, Ning Yuanxian was so happy that he was slapping his face all over the world.
At that time, his reputation became even worse.
This group of civil and military ministers were clearly wrong, so they were beaten in the face, and countless scholars were wrong.
But they don't care about right or wrong at all.
It was precisely because they were wrong that they hated the emperor Ning Yuanxian even more, even hostility.
Of course, after all, Ning Yuanxian was a king, a scholar in the world, and some civil and military officials could do nothing even if they were hostile to him.
But they can ruin your reputation.
At this very moment, Ning Yuanxian fell ill.
In an instant, countless rumors broke out.
The monarch had the upper hand immediately. The monarch had five daughters under his control every day, so he had a stroke.
Some even said that the emperor doted on Shen Lang because he was handsome and had an ulterior motive.
Between a king and his subjects, there is an eternal enemy.
This is an unchanging truth.
In this world, either the subjects manipulate the monarch or the monarch manipulates the subjects. Of course, most of the time, they are fighting with each other.
In the ming dynasty, a master of manipulating his subjects, emperor jiajing, appeared.
He had manipulated his subjects to death, and he had manipulated many powerful officials to death.
But after he was a little old, after the dog yan song was killed, it was his turn to be manipulated by the officials, and after he died, he could not get a good posthumous title.
Su zong was probably a little better than emperor yang, but he was also in the middle and lower ranks. It means that you are very mean and ungrateful.
The emperor Ning Yuanxian was also a master at manipulating his subjects. In the past twenty years, he had killed many of his subjects, and he was absolutely unkind.
But he was a little stronger than the emperor jiajing, and he basically did not move the country's important officials.
No matter how much trouble they caused, they would never touch the foundation.
Shangshutai, the pillars of the government of the The privy council, had always been stable. Of course, Su Nan was an exception. He had already rebelled.
But now, the foundation is a little loose.
The foundation on the civilian side, prime minister Zhu Hongzhu, the foundation on the general side, lieutenant Zhong Yao.
Two months ago, on the surface, prime minister Zhu Hongzhu was completely on the side of the country's monarch, suppressing the trouble caused by the failed candidates and putting an abrupt change in the bud.
But it also sent a signal. He, Zhu Hongzhu, spoke like a tiger roaring in the forest.
As a result, many civil officials attached to it.
"Crazy Lan, the ten brothers of the lan family took the enke exam high school. I guess I'm alone. These courtiers have offended me." The emperor Ning Yuanxian sighed and said, "But the funny thing is that this matter is clearly their own fault, but they want to blame it on the head of the few. Can't it be that they don't take talent? Can't it be that they want to monopolize the civil and military examinations?"
"That's what they mean." Li Sun, the great eunuch, said in his heart, but he didn't say anything. Eunuchs were not allowed to do politics.
"I'm just sick for a while, and I haven't fallen down yet. These officials can't wait to find a new one to rely on?" The emperor sneered, "Look at the neutral factions in the court before, which accounted for a full third of the total. Now they are scattered like birds and beasts and have all gone to the new master."
"What have I done to make them hate me so much and curse me so much?"
And the most distressing people for the emperor were the crown prince and third Prince Ning Qi.
Even if there was a fight between the two of them, it was all in the dark. Fighting without breaking was a kind of benign competition.
And now?
After Ning Yuanxian fell ill.
The battle between the two was intense in an instant.
For the sake of Governor of the central capital's official position in tianxi province, I don't know how many officials have been sent to prison and how many people have been exiled.
This signal is actually very dangerous.
Once the country enters the party struggle, it will enter a vicious circle.
Any development, any diplomacy, would be affected or even put on hold.
Intense party strife would engulf everything like a black hole.
At that time, there was no right or wrong, only the same party.
Now, as Ning Yuanxian fell ill, the party war had begun.
Not only that, the party dispute was also a contempt for the country's ruler, Ning Yuanxian.
The benign competition between the crown prince and third Prince had been one of constant performance, and Ning Yuanxian had to be the arbiter to see who was better and who was more suitable to be the successor of the country.
Now, the two sides were fighting fiercely, almost directly throwing ning yuanxian, the arbiter, aside.
The two of us fought directly, and whoever wins will inherit the throne.
Does that mean that I, the ruler of the country, will be watching?
Of course it hasn't reached this point yet, but there are already signs.
The two sides set off a case of selling military food and embezzling military spending, which was not only the beginning of the party dispute, but also a test of ning yuanxian.
Let's see if ning yuanxian can suppress it.
Once the monarch chooses to suppress it and completely quell this struggle, it will also require great prestige.
Otherwise, it would become a pot of rice, and be regarded as incompetent and slime.
That's why Ning Yuanxian felt sad.
Just as he fell ill, he was so neglected, so attacked and defiled.
Having a stroke on a woman's stomach, King chu had to sign a contract of losing power and humiliating the country in order to please her. He used the name of an absurd border hunter to cede the interests of Yue kingdom.
This is not a fatuous monarch, what is it?
And at this time, what did he use to suppress the two young and ambitious princes?
Lack of authority.
If forced to suppress it, it will become a slime and make people laugh even more.
Thinking of Wu Wang in the north, the purge was in full swing.
Ning Yuanxian couldn't help but feel envious. It was good to be young.
But ning yuanxian was also a cruel man.
Don't you think I'm old? Have you fallen ill and become weak?
Then I will show you how old I am and how weak I am.
When Shen Lang's army flew into the sky at the border, it was time for the few to return to their peak.
At that time, ning yuanxian once again appeared in front of the world, without any illness, young and valiant, looking around with his sword, sharpening his sword.
And by that time, all the doubts about him, Ning Yuanxian, would be gone.
Everyone would once again be lurking under his tyranny.
In this world, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.
Ning Yuanxian sneered, "After Qiang King Arugang's sudden death, not only did no one investigate his cause of death, but no one even paid attention to his body and allowed it to stink on the table. At that time, I was still laughing. Now it seems that these sons are not much better."
Li Sun still did not answer.
At this moment, a man appeared in the king's mind.
Fifth son Ning Zheng.
This son is tough and kind, isn't he better?
It was the first time Ning Yuanxian had ever looked at Ning Zheng in his heart.
"Your majesty, lord Yan E."
Father-in-law Li En's voice rang outside.
A moment later, governor Yan E of blackwater station entered and knelt down on one knee.
"Your majesty, I... Failed again."
What failed?
The assassination of Jinjun, of course.
The king, Ning Yuanxian, was close enough to do anything to stop Jinjun from unifying the barbarians.
Infidelity, money buying, assassination, and so on.
All means were used.
But Blackwater table's strength in the sand barbarians is still too small, who would go to that ghost place to undercover?
So these methods had little effect.
There were not a hundred or eighty assassinations of Jinjun.
All failed!
Even Great Master Yan Nanfei did it himself.
Still failing.
Jinjun was very good at martial arts, and there were countless sand barbarians around him, as well as Grand robbery temple experts. Almost all the assassins sent by blackwater platform were dead.
It was too difficult to change the situation by assassination.
Shen Lang was assassinated many times.
He even asked Sword king Li Qianqiu to assassinate Su Nan, but he failed.
The only time he was close to success was probably when Kutouhuan assassinated Jin Zhuo.
But now that jin zhuo had the protection of the snow mountain demon, it was almost impossible to assassinate him.
The snow mountain demon had already decided to move Snow mountain palace to A wave of anger city. Because life there is more comfortable, not worried about food and clothing, but also can show off.
Of course, what about the snow mountain palace without the snow mountain? Don't care about these details. As long as I have the snow mountain demon, even the fire mountain can be called Snow mountain palace.
Yan er, the governor of blackwater, said, "Your majesty, let's prepare for war. We can no longer stop Jinjun by abnormal means."
Ning Yuanxian closed her eyes and began to recall Jinjun.
I didn't expect that this adopted son would go against the heavens to such an extent.
When he was in the capital a few years ago, how gentle and elegant was he?
I didn't expect him to be so powerful.
Prepare for battle!
Two months ago, Zhang Chong said he needed more troops in The southern ou kingdom, and a one-time increase of 150,000.
At that time, it sounded alarmist, but now it seems that it is not exaggerated at all.
But where did ning yuanxian get 150,000 troops?
Even if they did everything they could, they could only send another 80,000 troops to The battlefield of the southern ou kingdom.
With 80,000 troops transferred, the entire northern line would be left with the Bian Xiao army, the Marquis zhenbei Nangong Ao army, and the tens of thousands under third Prince Ning Qi, all heading south.
Not only is the northern line empty, but even the national defense will be empty.
Once that happens, Bian Xiao's 100,000 troops will face Wu kingdom's several hundred thousand.
Thanks to Shen Lang, he killed Su Nan early.
Otherwise, the Su Nan rebels, the The qiang kingdom army, the Wu kingdom army, the Chu kingdom army, the Jinjun army, and five powerful enemies would besiege Yue kingdom, and that would be the danger of losing the country.
Shen Lang and Zhang Chong settled Su Nan and turned The qiang kingdom into an ally. Bian Xiao and Jin Zhuo teamed up and defeated Wu kingdom.
With all the money in hand, there were only two enemies left in Yue kingdom, Jinjun and Chu kingdom, and perhaps a Wu kingdom.
Su Nan was really unlucky. He wanted to wait until Jinjun unified the sand barbarians, recaptured The southern ou kingdom, and swept across southern Yue kingdom before setting up a rebellion. But Shen Lang forced him to do it in advance, and the whole army was destroyed, and the whole family was destroyed.
"If I evacuate all the northern troops, will king wu's army head south?" Ning Yuanxian asked.
Yan E was silent for a moment and said, "Of course not now, but once Jinjun unifies the sand barbarians and takes back The southern ou kingdom, Wu Wang will not miss this opportunity. He has now rejected Chu kingdom's request for an alliance, but it is not because of his credibility to our country, it is just that the time is not up and the time is not up."
Ning yuanxian said, "Do you think duke Bian Xiao can stop me if I hand over the entire northern line of defense to him?"
Yan E remained silent for a long time and said, "I don't know, but duke Bian Xiao is good at attacking and not good at defending."
Ning Yuanxian faced a huge problem.
Once Nangong Ao's 50,000 troops are removed, who will defend the Tianbei province defense line?
"Once the Nangong Ao army enters The southern ou kingdom, who will be in charge of the zhenbei general's mansion?" Ning Yuanxian asked, "Yan E, who do you think is suitable?"
Now this Tianbei province Dadudu was a civil servant, and also a royal, Ning Gang.
This was also a legendary figure, a generation older than ning yuanxian, who had guarded Tianbei province for ten years.
Let him do logistics, the internal affairs are absolutely first-class.
But defending the city, he really couldn't do it.
However, as the governor of blackwater station, Yan E had no right to elect the position of zhenbei general.
But that was the case with ning yuanxian, who asked casually.
Ning Yuanxian added, "Zhong E, Xue Che, ning qi, who do you think is more suitable?"
All three of them were from the same faction.
Yan E still didn't say anything. No matter which one he chose, the three of them were even more unsuitable.
Ning yuanxian said, "Has the The privy council, the ministry of war and the ministry of accounts been calculated? If we transfer 80,000 troops into The southern ou kingdom, how much will it cost?"
Li Sun, the great eunuch, immediately found the book and handed it to Ning Yuanxian.
Ning Yuanxian turned it over and looked at it. His hand shook violently.
The 80, 000 troops, such as the southern ou kingdom, would need food, weapons, warhorses, wages and so on to convert into military expenditure. In addition to the expenses of Zhu Lin's tens of thousands of troops, the total would exceed 3.5 million gold coins.
It almost exceeded Yue kingdom's annual tax.
Of course, it will be the end of the year soon, and taxes will be collected all over the country.
But the money was useful.
He's going to borrow money from the Yinyuanhui again.
But the old debt is not paid, and the new debt is owed again?
"Your majesty, princess ning jie requests an audience." Li Eunuch's voice came back to mind outside.
The king waved his hand and Yan E retreated.
Ning Jie entered.
"How much is the Yinyuanhui willing to borrow?" Ning Yuanxian asked bluntly.
Every time he made a loan, he sent his confidants to talk about it, then signed the contract with the Shangshutai and the ministry of accounts.
The person who was sent to borrow money from the yin yuan talks was princess ning jie.
"The Yinyuanhui is willing to borrow 3.5 million gold coins." Ning jie, justice.
Ning Yuanxian couldn't believe it.
No way?
Yinyuanhui is so generous?
He had already owed the Yinyuanhui an astronomical amount of debt, and just a few months ago he borrowed more than two million gold coins, but he hasn't paid it back yet.
Not only that, in order for Wu kingdom to seize Raging tide city, the Yinyuanhui paid more than a million yuan in military expenses for Wu kingdom, which was completely gone.
Faced with the aggressive Heavenly dao association, the life of the Heavenly dao association has been tough lately.
Princess ning jie added, "But Shu Botao, the elder of the Yinyuanhui, wants to talk to you personally."
Ning yuanxian frowned and nodded.
Half an hour later.
Shu Botao, the Yinyuanhui's boss in Yue kingdom, entered the palace.
"Greetings to the king." Shu Botao knelt down and bowed respectfully.
He was in his seventies and had been in charge of the Yinyuanhui branch in Yue kingdom for more than twenty years.
In those days, earl Jin Yu had been tricked to death by him.
Ning Yuanxian, the emperor, raised his hand and said with a slight trembling, "Elder shu, please rise. You are more than ten years older than me. I can't afford it."
When there is a need for help, the emperor will say that I am.
Shu Botao still knelt down meticulously. After the salute, he did not want to sit down, but stood humbly.
Ning yuanxian said, "I heard that the Yinyuanhui is willing to lend us another 3.5 million gold coins. I am really grateful."
Shu Botao said, "Although I am not from Yue kingdom, I have been in Yue kingdom for too long. It is only natural for me to treat myself as a vassal and to serve his majesty."
Ning yuanxian said, "I don't know what the Yinyuanhui's conditions are for this loan."
Shu Botao said, "Glass mirror's recipe."
This man was very straightforward.
Hearing this, Ning Yuanxian's eyebrows trembled.
Shu Botao said, "Your majesty, Shen Lang is extremely loyal to you, and fate is in your hands. If you open your mouth, he will definitely give this Glass mirror secret recipe. As long as you get the secret recipe, I, the Yinyuanhui, will not only be willing to borrow 3.5 million gold coins without interest, but also be willing to exempt from the debt of the previous two million gold coins."
What a big pen.
The king, ning yuanxian, closed his eyes.
Shu Botao said, "There is no need for Yue kingdom to pay any price for this, nor for his majesty to pay any price. Why not?"
The king sneered in his heart.
On the surface, it doesn't cost anything, but free is the most expensive.
It was all about the trust between Shen Lang and me.
In the eyes of the emperor Ning Yuanxian, the trust between him and Shen Lang far exceeded three million gold coins.
The emperor's face suddenly turned cold, and he said lightly, "Then there's no need. Thank you, elder shu, for seeing off the guests."
Shu Botao did not say much, bowed and left.
After he left, the country's ruler, Ning Yuanxian, smiled coldly and said, "Everyone thinks that I'm old and that I can't be alone anymore. Everyone is going to bully me. Go tell Shen Lang that he has to fight for his strength so that we won't be looked down upon by others."
Upon hearing this, Li Eunuch set off immediately.
"Forget it. You don't have to tell him. He knows it very well."
Ning Yuanxian stopped it again.
"Li Sun, I want Nangong Ao to gather 50,000 troops and head south to The battlefield of the southern ou kingdom at any time!"
"Yes!"
Shen langning, my wife is waiting for you to make a big splash.
At that time, the widow once again roared at the forest.
...
Beiyuan hunting ground.
This place consumes an astronomical amount of food and meat every day.
After Zero bloodline's bloodline was altered, he ate more and more.
There was no way.
The amount of training every day was astonishing, almost five times more than that of a normal army.
Everyone ate two kilograms of grain, three kilograms of meat, five kilograms of vegetables and fruits every day.
And when they eat it in their stomachs, they basically don't grow meat.
She was very thin before, but she still looks very thin now.
But with just a touch, everyone's muscles were like iron.
The sword in each person's hand now weighed more than 260 kilograms.
Most of the soldiers couldn't lift it at all, let alone wave it. No one would be so perverted to use such a heavy knife.
These bloodline degenerates, on the other hand, slashed 20,000 times a day.
Of course, now it's time to change positions.
It used to be a straight cut from top to bottom, but now it's a slanted cut and a raised cut.
Today, not only do they train during the day, but they also train for three and a half hours at night.
The training at night was much easier.
Climb the mountain with a heavy load.
Carrying 350 jin, he marched 150 miles back and forth in three and a half hours.
The average is 12 kilometers per hour.
This is about endurance.
This training intensity was unprecedented.
He was not trained as a soldier, but as a devil.
Without absolute willpower, it was impossible to complete.
But...
None of the two thousand and three hundred people were left behind.
Almost using the method of self-mutilation, completed the weight training again and again.
Shen Lang then consumed not only food and meat, but also countless medicinal herbs.
After training every day, they would make medicinal soup for half an hour to restore their muscles and arteries.
So this army was made of gold.
These people did not need pay, but Shen Lang spent more than two thousand gold coins a day on training crazily these days.
In three months, training more than 2,000 people alone would cost nearly two hundred thousand gold coins.
And their equipment, whether it was Super blade or super heavy armor, was forged from the finest steel, each of which required a high cost.
This was not only the most powerful army, but also the most expensive.
Shen Lang was so rich that he could only afford a few thousand people at most.
...
Wangda the bloodline changer.
I can't sleep every night.
Not because she was too tired, but because she was too excited.
No matter what he did, he was extremely focused, and so was knife practice.
There were only three moves in total, and he had practiced them a million times.
But it was as if every time, there was a new understanding.
A new understanding of strength, speed, and angle.
Even in his mind, he was able to form the relevant blade path, as well as the strength and speed of the knife everywhere.
Not only that!
Every day, he and his brothers were learning about the structure of the human body, the density and hardness of various metals, the structure of warhorses, the hardness of bones and so on.
There was only one purpose for all that he had learned.
How to split the enemy in half with the fastest speed and the least strength.
Split the enemy's horses in half.
Today, the training time is more than nine hours a day.
He was said to be exhausted.
But when he was sleeping, he couldn't help but practice it over and over again in his mind.
If it were someone else, the boring training would have been long gone, not to mention understanding the true meaning of battle in simple moves.
But this group of bloodline degenerates can.
They had been able to watch the changes in the clouds all day long.
Let alone practice!
Hey!
If only people didn't need to sleep.
Then I can train all the time. I'm just too stupid. My grades are just too bad.
...
The results of these people were really great.
A real leap forward.
Each and every one of them had made great progress compared to when their bloodline had just degenerated.
And it wasn't like the lan brothers' prodigious breakthroughs, but rather very solid progress.
One step at a time, one step at a time.
The ten lan brothers had to be whipped by Kutouhuan to train hard.
And these two thousand and three hundred bloodline degenerates, are completely their own and their own efforts, their own and their own competition.
Kutouhuan needed to suppress them all the time.
Otherwise, these people would try their best not to sleep and just keep practicing.
In the eyes of others, they were like fools. With such a split, they could practice hundreds of thousands of times without getting tired of it.
Even though it was only three months.
But their training capacity exceeded that of the ordinary army for two years.
Even after the transformation of their bloodline, they are still not geniuses, but they are definitely the most desperate group of people.
...
Time flies, time flies.
The days when one could not pretend to be forced passed quickly.
Three months passed.
It was only a few days away from the border hunt.
The training of more than 2,000 bloodline changers in Beiyuan hunting ground was about to end.
Today is the last day!
Everyone had to face the final assessment.
The content of the assessment is very simple!
Each person used a hundred catties of Super blade to cut down trees.
A big tree about a foot in diameter.
Cut it off diagonally and cut it in half.
Everyone had only one chance to cut.
"We will only send 2,000 people to participate in the border hunting this time. More than 300 people will be eliminated. We can't win glory for our country."
"Each and every one of you has only one chance. As long as you don't cut a tree a foot in diameter, even if you fail, you will be eliminated."
The assessment was very strict.
A tree a foot in diameter, you want to cut it down with a knife?
How difficult?
This has the highest requirements for strength, speed, and angle.
And if I could cut a big tree with one knife.
Then no matter what the enemy, no matter what the horses, they will definitely be able to break up.
In three months, this group of people wielded two hundred kilograms of super big knives and chopped more than a million times.
It was time to test the results.
Wangda's first test.
He raised his machete and took a deep breath.
"Tut!"
Slash it.
Flowing clouds and flowing water.
Break it with one blow!
The big tree, one foot in diameter, was cut in two.
The second person to play was Li Gouzi.
"Tut!"
Break it with one blow!
Third, fourth, fifth...
A few hours later!
Shen Lang was completely stunned!
More than 2,300 people, all of them succeeded and ended with one blow.
My... My god!
This group of people, it's too heaven defying!
This border game is really going to win with my eyes closed!
...
Note: the first one is delivered. I'll go eat some noodles and come back to code. My brothers support it. The pastry is supported by this.
