493 Master lang stole the sky and changed the sun! He entered the palace!
âFather, father, Zhenzhenâ
Zhu Rong hurriedly went forward to help Zhu hongzhu up. He instinctively wanted to call for help, but he couldnât let anyone see this scene.
He patted Zhu Hongâs back and chest with all his might, injecting his inner energy to help him breathe smoothly. However, he felt as if his brain was about to explode. He had never been so upended in his life.
It was not that Zhu Rong could not afford to lose. He had lost many times in the past few years, especially the battle between ning Yi and Jin Jun. It almost ruined the future of the Zhu family of Yue country, but it was not as shocking as this time. The sky-Sea Pavilionâs blood soul Army was an almost invincible army that had swept away millions of soldiers from the Western regions.
Although Zhu Rong didnât know much about the Alliance Army of the Western regions, the monk soldiers of the Great Tribulation Temple were still very strong and were still massacred by the blood soul Army. The blood soul Army actually lost to Shen lang? He didnât believe it. He definitely didnât believe it.
âLord Zhu, you donât believe me?â Zhong Yao asked.
Of course, Zhu Rong did not believe it. Even when he saw the flag of the blood soul Army and the hilt of Zhu hongxueâs sword, he still did not dare to believe it.
Zhong Yao said, â this place is only a few dozen miles away from the battlefield. You can go and take a closer look. His Majesty has ordered us to collect the corpses of the blood soul Army. If you go over now, you should be able to see countless corpses piled up like a mountain. Of course, only Lord Zhu Rong can go and see it personally. The entire battlefield has been sealed off. Any spies who enter a twenty li radius will be killed without mercy.â
Zhu hongzhu slowly woke up and waved his hand, â âZhu Rong, go and take a look.â
âYes!â Zhu Rong said.
Lord Zhu, be careful, â Zhong Yao said. donât let anyone find out, because the results of this battle must be kept absolutely secret.
A moment later, Zhu Rong quietly left the capital and made a beeline for the battlefield in the South.
..................
The battlefield was only a few dozen miles away from the capital, and they arrived in just two hours.
Zhu Rong immediately saw the flag of the blood soul Army. Five blood soul Army Warriors nocked their arrows and shouted, â âGet lost, or Iâll kill you without mercy.â
Zhu Rongâs heart leaped with joy. Didnât the blood soul Army win? Otherwise, how could he control the entire battlefield? what did Zhong Yao mean by that? Of course, he was not a fool. This thought had just appeared in his mind. He guessed that this might be Shen Langâs trick.
âIâm Zhu Rong, Iâm Zhu Rong,â Zhu Rong shouted.
âWhoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!â
The five blood soul soldiers suddenly fired their arrows.
âWhoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!â
An incomparably breathtaking scene appeared. The five arrows streaked across the sky in a bright blue light and directly shot out a thousand meters away.
The ancient bow and arrow released a tail flame, like a shooting star in the night sky.
âPU CI, PU CI, PU CI Chi Chi Chi Chiâ a short moment later, a series of miserable cries rang out. Several Scouts who had come to Scout the battlefield had been directly shot dead.
Why would there be an Ancient bow and arrow? Of course, Shen lang had repaired the energy control Center, so the ancient bows and arrows were back in use.
However, this was more like the result of the blood soul Armyâs victory. These few blood soul Warriors were, of course, Shen Langâs Army in disguise. They were wearing the armor of the blood soul Army. He was prepared to kill them.
âLord Zhu Rong? Please!â
Zhu Rong was allowed to enter the battlefield. After walking another ten miles, Zhu Rongâs body was stiff and his legs were trembling. He could barely move forward. This was because he saw the blood soul Armyâs armors piled up like a mountain, as well as the densely packed corpses of the blood soul Army, all loaded into the carriage.
Now, his last hope had been destroyed. The sky-Sea Pavilionâs blood soul Army had not only lost, but had also been completely annihilated.
âLord Zhu Rong is here?â âDo you want to meet Emperor Shen lang?â Zhong âe asked.
Zhu Rong really did not want to meet him as Shen lang was a despicable person. He wanted him to be humble after winning? It was completely impossible. He would definitely shake his head and wag his tail proudly, but Zhu Rong had no choice but to meet him now.
..................
As expected, Zhu Rongâs guess was right.
After they entered the camp, Shen lang, who was dressed in a brocade robe and a golden crown, snuggled up on the legs of a stunning beauty. He looked at Zhu Rong lazily. He did not need to act like a fatuous ruler.
âHow have you been, Lord Zhu Rong? Three years East, three years West, you didnât expect this, did you?â Shen lang sneered. back then, I was in a sorry state as I escaped. When you guys were celebrating, you didnât expect this day to come, right? â
Zhu Rongâs heart ached, but he could not help but curse. Shen lang, can you be any more obvious with your despicable behavior?
After a long while, Zhu Rong said hoarsely, â âWhereâs Zhu hongxue?â
âLetâs go,â âBack to the sky-Sea Pavilion,â Shen lang replied.
Zhu Rong was stunned. He knew Zhu hongxue the best. He was a man with a strong sense of honor and pride. He would not run away. If he was defeated, he would either be captured or killed.
âLord Zhu Rong, is Zhu hongxue really your son?â Shen lang asked.
Zhu Rongâs expression changed drastically. of course! Heâs my son! No one can deny that!
Shen lang said, â heâs the same as Dasha. They were both raised by my father. You, Zhu Rong, canât have such a powerful son.
Zhu Rong said firmly, â I donât have any evidence. Sir Shen lang, please donât say such things. Zhu hongxue is my son. This is an unchangeable fact.
This was the most important matter for Zhu Rong and the entire Zhu family in Yue country. The consequences of losing the decisive battle in Tian Yue city were certainly terrible. It was almost a disaster for the Zhu family. However, they were not completely desperate. The sky-Sea Pavilion was still there. The destruction of the blood soul Army was not a big deal to the sky-Sea Pavilion.
As long as Zhu hongxueâs position in the sky-Sea Pavilion remained unchanged, the Zhu family would still have hope. However, once his identity was exposed, the Zhu family would be finished.
Shen lang laughed,âLord Zhu Rong, do as you wish.â Youâre a smart person, so you should know my purpose, right?â
Of course, Zhu Rong knew that Shen lang had asked someone to disguise as the blood soul Army and seal off the entire battlefield. Wasnât he pretending that the blood soul Army had won all the battles to confuse ning Shao and the rest? Didnât he just want to save ning yuanxian, Ning Zheng, and everyone else without any harm?
If the news of Shen Langâs victory was spread, ning Shao would probably do something desperate. This twisted lunatic would do anything.
âLord Zhu Rong, will you cooperate?â Shen lang asked.
âI will,â Zhu Rong replied bitterly.
âWill you put on an act with us?â Shen lang asked.
âI will,â Zhu Rong replied bitterly.
âI have another condition,â Shen lang said.
Zhu Rong said, â Mr. Shen lang, anyone can surrender. The Zhu family will never surrender. We can go to jail or be exiled, but we will never surrender.
âIs Zhu Ning married?â Shen lang asked.
Zhu Rongâs face turned pale. He couldnât understand a person like Shen lang. Was it interesting for such a Big Shot to fuss about the small things in the past?
my Jin mucong is not married either, â Shen lang said. they are a perfect match.
Zhu Rong bowed and said,âfarewell.â &Nbsp;
Shen lang smiled. Lord Zhu, have a good trip. To ensure your safety, I will send a few hundred âblood soul Armyâ to follow you home.
........................
When Zhu Rong left the battlefield, Shen Langâs Army was still in the middle of their performance. The ancient bow and arrow were still shooting.
There were many people who came to spy on them. There were people from ning Shao, ning Yi, and Yin Yuan Association. However, the fake blood soul Army that Shen lang sent would not kill all of them. One or two of them would escape and bring the news back to their Masters.
In the second half of the night, Zhu Rong returned to the prime ministerâs residence. Hundreds of so-called blood soul soldiers also entered the Zhu familyâs residence. If the Zhu family was disobedient, they could be easily killed.
father! Zhu Rong trembled as he spoke.
âSay no more.â Zhu hongzhu waved his hand. He had already calmed down over the past few hours and was gradually accepting this terrifying outcome.
His hands trembled slightly as he picked up the teacup and took a sip. He even felt that the heavens were too cruel to him. He was already more than eighty years old, so why did they have to make him suffer two huge blows in a row? After a long while, Zhu Hong said to Zhongyao, â Zhong hou, itâs true that three years have passed, and three years have passed. Now, the Feng Shui has returned to your Zhong family.
Zhong Yao said, â Minister Zhu, youâre making fun of me. Thereâs still a long way to go. The final battle in Tian Yue city is very great. However, to Your Majesty, itâs only the beginning. So when Minister Zhu asked me if I was happy, I was definitely happy. But you asked me if I was proud? Our Zhong family can only follow your Majesty from now on. No matter if itâs heaven or hell ahead, we can only follow you and go through fire and water. We have no other choice.â
These were Zhongyaoâs and Zhu Hongâs heartfelt words. The Zhu family had no choice but to follow the Empire of Great Yan and the sky-Sea Pavilion to the end. They would never surrender. Shen lang knew this very well, so he had never tried to persuade the Zhu family to surrender. The sky-Sea Pavilion was unharmed, so how could the Zhu family surrender?
Iâll leave tomorrowâs situation to you, Prime Minister Zhu, â Zhong Yao said. the retired King, ning yuanxian, concubine Bian, Emperor Ning Zheng, and everyone else must be unscathed. Moreover, ning Shao, ning Yi, Ning Luo, Shu tingyu, and all the others must be captured. This requires Zhu xiangzhiâs cooperation.â
âIf I cooperate with Shen lang, the Zhu familyâs reputation will be ruined,â Zhu hongzhu said while trembling.
Zhong Yao said, â you donât know that this is Emperor Shen Langâs scheme. You are also a victim. Besides, itâs better to lose your reputation than to have your entire family die, right?â
He said it lightly, but it was like a Thunderbolt. If Shen lang said that he would kill his entire family, he would definitely kill his entire family.
âItâs probably too late for the Zhu family to escape now, right?â Zhong Yao continued.
âI know what to do,â Zhu hongzhu said with a trembling voice.
yes, â Zhong Yao said. then there are still some details that I need to take a photo with you, Minister Zhu, to ensure that tomorrowâs big show will be well-played. Lord Zhu Rong, you have to be prepared. I believe ning Shao will send people here soon.â
..............................
Ning Shao, who was in the palace, had also received the news. They had sent over a hundred spies, but the vast majority of them had been killed by the blood soul Armyâs ancient arrows. Thus, the outcome was already one hundred percent certain. The blood soul Army would win and the entire Army of Chen Lang would be annihilated.
Master Kong ye of Tongtian temple sighed.âMy Tongtian templeâs influence in Yue country ends here. Ning Shao, you should go to the Zhu mansion.â
The Yue King ning Shaoâs face twitched, and he couldnât help but look at ning Yi and ask, â âHow did you feel when you called Zhu Hong your grandfather?â
Ning Yi said,âwhat other feelings can there be?â Your Majesty, this is good news after all. Shen lang is our mortal enemy. We should be happy that he is finished.â
âHappy, I should be happy.â Ning Shao said.
âLetâs go to Zhuâs right now to show your humble attitude,â Master Kong ye said.
âCould it be that they still dare to do something like depose?â the Prince of Yue, ning Shao said.
As soon as these words came out, ning Yi couldnât help but feel excited. If the Zhu family crippled ning Shao, did he, ning Yi, have any hope? He was the most obedient Prince of Yue State.
âIf you make them feel like they canât control it, then itâll be hard to say. Pay a visit to Zhu Hong before dawn to express your humbleness, but you wonât be able to make it in time after dawn.â
..............................
At around three in the morning, the king of Yue, ning Shao, came to visit Zhu Hong in secret.
âGreetings, grandfather.â Ning Shao bowed respectfully.
Zhu hongzhu said with sleepy eyes, â Your Majesty, if thereâs anything, please send someone to inform me. I will immediately go to the palace to have an audience. How can a King come to see his subjects? â
no, no, no, â ning Shao said. this isnât a King coming to see his subjects. Itâs a grandson coming to see his grandfather.
Zhu Hong laughed. youâre very thoughtful. However, the etiquette between a ruler and a subject must still be maintained. His Majesty must not do this in the future.
After that, the two of them exchanged warm greetings for a long time before the Yue King, ning Shao, couldnât help but say, I know that the blood soul Army has won. I wonder how Shen lang is doing? â
Zhu hongzhu said,âtomorrow, the blood soul Army will enter the palace to put an end to the battle in tianyue city and officially present the head to Your Majesty.â Since this matter started in Yue country, it will end in Yue country.â
As soon as these words came out, ning Shao immediately became excited, but also a little disappointed.
Shen lang was dead? Was he beheaded? Thatâs such a pity. Ning Shao originally wanted to torture him until he couldnât live or die, but he didnât expect Zhu hongxue to directly behead him.
However, this was still a good thing. Even if he could not kill Shen lang personally, it would be satisfying to see his head.
âThen what about Lord Zhu hongxue?â Ning Shao asked.
âLetâs go,â Zhu hongzhu replied,âonly 3000 blood soul soldiers will enter the capital tomorrow to present their heads to Your Majesty.â Thus, I request that Your Majesty make the necessary preparations.â
Ning Shao laughed and said, â of course Iâll be prepared. All the civil and military officials and nobles must be present. They must witness this great moment. Of course, there was also my father. He missed Shen lang so much that he had to let him take a look. Shen lang and all the other rebel leaders were there to witness this moment. From now on, they can also give up.â
Zhu hongzhu smiled but didnât say anything. He would never say such words to add insult to injury.
âOh right, grandfather, thereâs one thing I donât know how to choose,â ning Shao said.
âYour Majesty, you must not say such words. You are the king of Yue country. You are the one who makes the decisions for Yue country,â Zhu hongzhu said.
âSince Chen Lang has already been exterminated, isnât there no need to keep his remaining evildoers alive to avoid wasting the wealth of our Yue country?â
Zhu Hong laughed. I still stand by my words. Your Majesty will make the final decision!
âI understand!â Ning Shao said.
..............................
The next day, the entire capital was extremely depressed. The sky was clear, but it was as if dark clouds were pressing down.
The king of Yue had decreed that no official was to be absent from the court conference today. Although the decree did not state what it was about, everyone had guessed it.
Ning Qi walked out of the house in his military uniform, his face as hard as iron, almost expressionless. His mother, the zhonghuang concubine, did not make a fuss, because she had completely fainted.
Although there was still no news on the surface, everyone knew that the blood soul Army had won a great victory, and the entire Army of Chen Lang had been annihilated. In less than an hour, the battle had ended.
âHusband? Iâm the daughter of the Zhong family. Why donât you divorce me, or Iâll take medicine and commit suicide.â Madam ning Qi said in a cold voice.
Ning Qi was supposed to marry Zhu Ning as his first wife, but the marriage was left unsettled, so the daughter of the Zhong family was still his wife.
Ning Qi reached out and touched his wifeâs face, not saying a word. He wasnât sure how far this matter would spread. He wasnât afraid of ning Shaoâs investigation, but the great Yan Empireâs.
The Zhong family had surrendered to Shen lang at the crucial moment. Even ning Qiâs Army had fled without a fight when they faced Shen lang. Therefore, if the Empire of Great Yan were to settle the score, not to mention his wife, even his entire family would not be able to escape death.
âLetâs leave it to fate,â I will fight for it with all my might, â ning Qi said with a smile. but if I canât find a way out for you, donât blame me for being useless.
Then, ning Qi mounted his warhorse and headed towards the palace.
Todayâs naivety was great. Although the sun had not come out yet, there were no clouds in the sky. It was obvious that the sun would rise as usual.
But ning Qi only had one thought in his mind: From then on, there would be no light in the world!
..............................
The gate of the Blackwater tower castle slowly opened.
Prison carts came out one after another, and each prison cart held a felon.
Bian Xiao, Zhang Ji, Li Sun, Li en, ning gang, ning Qi, and so on. There were more than a hundred prison carts in total, and they were all the leaders of the so-called Shen Langâs remaining forces.
After leaving the black water terrace prison, Zhang Ji even quickly closed his eyes. At this time, the sun had not risen yet, but the light was still too strong. For the past two years, they had been locked up in the prison without day and night. Suddenly, they could not stand the brightness and their eyes hurt.
This was also the first time that Zhang Ji, Bian Xiao, ning gang, and ning Qi had met each other. Ever since they had been imprisoned, they had all been locked up in their own corners, never seeing each other.
Every one of them was emaciated and had white hair. They were as dry as firewood. After meeting each other, they couldnât help but feel complicated and emotional.
Princess Ning Luo escorted these people into the palace. She was still wearing her mask and directly came in front of Zhang che.âDuke Zhang, you must miss Shen lang very much, right? Weâll be able to see him soon, but itâs just his head.â
Zhang Jiâs body trembled, but he did not say anything.
Ning Luo said, â of course, donât be discouraged. Thatâs because all of you are going to follow him to the underworld. After the court conference, all of you will be executed on the execution ground. Just take it as you are going to be buried with him.
Zhang Yeâs turbid tears fell slowly.
Ning Luo said,âIâm very sorry. Thereâs no meal break.â In addition, your daughter Zhang Chunhua is currently in raging tide city, and she will soon come to accompany you. Of course, the premise is that she must not be sent to the Imperial Academy.â
âLetâs go. Escort them to the palace.â
tell all the executioners at the execution ground to prepare. Weâre going to kill a lot of people today, so make sure to sharpen your knives.
........................
In zongzheng Temple prison, Ning Zheng walked out in shackles.
This person was a stubborn one. His eyes obviously couldnât stand the light outside. Everyone else had closed their eyes, but he still opened them wide. As a result, he was stung to the point of tears.
His hair and beard were like weeds, and his body was so thin that he was only skin and bones. However, his hair was not white, but gray. Each strand of hair was as hard as a needle, just like his temper, smelly and hard.
Ning Yi rode on the horse and sneered. Ning Zheng, you didnât say a word for the past two years. You were tough to the end because you had high hopes for Shen lang. You thought that he would definitely come back and save you. In the end, you were half right. He did come back. However, he had completely annihilated Yingluo yesterday. His 20,000-strong Army was annihilated in less than an hour. The return of a king is the biggest joke in the world, but he has always been so boastful.â
Ning Zhengâs face remained unchanged, as if he was made of iron.
Ning Yi laughed,âNing Zheng, you still havenât given up?â Hahaha, youâre the stupidest and most ridiculous person Iâve ever seen. Others donât shed tears until they see the coffin, but you wonât shed tears even if you see the coffin. Alright, alright, we will enter the palace now. You will see Shen Langâs head soon, hahaha!â
Ning Zheng was still expressionless as he walked in the direction of the palace in shackles.
Ning Yi said,âfifth brother, after you see Shen Langâs head, you will be sent to the execution ground.â You donât have Ninghan to protect your life like Father, but youâre also going to be beheaded. Do you have anything to say to me before you die?â
Ning Zheng didnât even look at ning Yi and continued to walk forward.
Ning Yi was furious and directly whipped Ning Zhengâs back.
âPa, pa, pa, pa, pa!â
âNing Zheng, youâre already at this point, and youâre on the verge of death, yet you still dare to look down on me? You still dare to look down on me?â
........................
The king of Yue, ning Shao, was dressed in a new set of clothes today. From the crown to the Royal robe, everything was brand new. Even the sword at his waist was new.
After he was dressed, he walked to ning yuanxianâs Palace.
A few Palace maids were also helping ning yuanxian bathe and change his clothes. As the retired emperor, ning yuanxian had to attend todayâs court conference.
This was the first time in two years that ning yuanxian had reappeared in the Royal robe and crown.
eighty-one, eighty-two, eighty-three Kasaya. ning yuanxian was dressed like a puppet, but he was still jabbering.
Ning Shao waved his hand, and all the palace maids fled. They looked at ning Shao as if they had seen a ghost. Even though some things werenât made public, the palace maids still faintly knew that the corpses in the courtyard outside ning Shaoâs Palace had already been buried to the point that they couldnât fit in any more.
Ning Shao squatted down in front of ning yuanxian and said, â âHey, hey, father, stop pretending. This time, you really donât have to pretend. Shen lang is dead. His head was cut off by Zhu hongxue and he will be sent to the palace soon.â
eighty-five, eighty-six, eighty-seven. ning yuanxian trembled, as if he had not heard it. His eyes were so cloudy that there was no light in them.
Because he was too thin, the Royal robe looked especially big on his body. There was also a crown on his head, which swayed. It had to be tied tightly with a rope, or it would fall off at any time.
As he counted, drool kept dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Ning Shao said,âfather, didnât I just kill a few Palace maids back then?â Why did you send me to Tongtian temple to become a monk? Weâre both your sons. Why can others enjoy wealth and glory in the palace while I have to go to Tongtian temple to be your grandson? And my mother, isnât she beautiful enough? &Nbsp; why couldnât you just give her a title? wasnât she a spy of the Great Tribulation Temple? Wasnât she a Vixen? But you still put her in the cold Palace, arenât you being too heartless?â
of course, Iâm not fighting for my mother. If you donât make her a concubine, my status will be low. Why do you treat me like this? â âTell me, why?â ning Shao said coldly.
Then, ning Shao pinched ning yuanxianâs nose and covered his mouth with a silk cloth. stop acting crazy. If you keep acting crazy, Iâll suffocate you to death.
Soon, ning yuanxian was trembling all over. His face was red and his eyes were bloodshot. He was about to suffocate.
âIâm sorry, Iâm sorry. Your son knows his mistake.â Ning Shao let go of ning yuanxian. come, come, come. Your crown is slanted. Your face is covered in saliva.
Ning yuanxian coughed violently and then continued to count, but he had forgotten where he had counted to. He was in a daze.
Ning Shao said,âfather, youâll see Shen Langâs head later.â At that time, you should have given up. Why do you have to live such a tiring life? Otherwise, you can just end your own life later. This is poison, keep it. After you see Shen Langâs head, drink it yourself, understand?â
Ning Shao stuffed a small bottle into ning yuanxianâs sleeve and patted his thin face. âHide it well, do you hear me? Did you hear that? Right, donât you like to play the fool? How about you pee in your pants in front of all the ministers in the palace later? Then Iâll believe that youâre really crazy.â
âMen, carry the retired King to the court.â
........................
This was the first time that so many people had come to the main hall of the Royal Palace of Yue country. There were a few thousand people.
All the officials and aristocrats in the capital were here, and so were the hundreds of so-called Shen Langâs remnants. There was no space in the main hall, so many people were standing in the square outside the main hall.
An unprecedented Grand Court meeting, the first in several years.
The Grand Emperor, ning yuanxian, sat on the highest throne. His eyes were straight, and his mouth was chattering non-stop, drooling.
The king of Yue, ning Shao, sat on the throne below, looking a little anxious. Why isnât he here yet?
The thousands of officials were divided into two groups. One group was full of joy and celebration. Shen lang had lost, and the situation was finally stabilized. There would not be another change. Everyone had only gotten rich because they had to suck up to the Zhu family. They could continue to suck up to them without any obstacles.
The other group had a serious expression and was as deep as water. They looked painfully at the demented and crazy ning yuanxian, then at Ning Zheng in the prison carriage outside. Their hearts ached. Many of these officials had once been at loggerheads with ning yuanxian, but they had still been loyal to him for decades. What kind of Kingdom was the State of Yue now? There was no one in the Imperial court. It was all ghosts.
And at this moment!
âBang Bang Bang Bang!â
A series of loud noises came from outside, like firecrackers.
Then, there was the sound of dense footsteps.
Theyâre here, theyâre here, the blood soul Army is here!
The Yue King, ning Shao, couldnât help but raise his head. All the officials turned their heads and looked out of the palace gate in unison.
Three thousand soldiers of the blood soul Army marched into the palace in an orderly manner.
His face could not be seen because his entire body was covered in armor. Moreover, the blood soul Armyâs armor was too unique, and no one could forge it.
Only the blood soul Army could be so tall, and only the blood soul Army could walk out with such an astonishing momentum.
Zhu hongxue didnât come. The ones in the lead were Zhu hongzhu and Zhu Rong.
In a short moment, the three thousand blood soul soldiers had arrived in the square outside the palace.
Then, 1,000 of them entered the hall.
Wherever the blood soul Army passed by, all the courtiers made way for them because the murderous aura on their bodies was too heavy.
âPrime Minister, youâve come?â ning Shao, the Prince of Yue, stood up.
Immediately, all the officials in the hall knelt down in an orderly manner and said, â âGreetings, Minister Zhu!â

[ Note: If the first chapter is sent, Iâll eat and write the second chapter! ] Begging for monthly votes, begging for support! Last nightâs sleep had been explosive, and his eyes felt like they were about to burst.
