Chapter 385
Before they could return to Taihe City, they heard deafening cheers, and the people who had been staying in Taihe City saw the overwhelming waves coming, and thought that this time they would eventually become part of the flood.
As a result, seeing the Witch King go out of the city with a few strangers, the huge waves comparable to the hills, as if there was an outlet for water, flew into the sky endlessly, making them nervous and worried.
In the end, the flood was about five miles away from Taihe City, and it could no longer move forward, and gradually disappeared in the eyes of everyone.
The five of them landed together, and the three of them, Shenggu, Nanban General, and Duan Lei immediately greeted them, and bowed their hands with a beaming face, and said, "I've seen the Witch King, and I've seen the Zhao Emperor." ”
Zhao Ling'er helped the three saints up and said with a smile: "The three of them are exempt." ”
The Nanban general stretched out his head and looked around, and found that Shi Renjie had not come back, and was secretly worried in his heart, for fear that Shi Renjie would escape, and he really wanted to let Shi Renjie escape, with his strength, Nanzhao Kingdom could really say that there would be many disasters and difficulties in the future, and immediately asked nervously: "Witch King, how is Shi Renjie's traitor?" Did he escape? ”
Noticing the worry on General Nanban's face, Zhao Ling'er smiled mildly and said, "General Nanban doesn't have to worry, Shi Renjie is dead." ”
"Dead?" General Nanban couldn't help but be a little surprised, in her heart it would be good to be able to defeat Shi Renjie, how could she never have imagined that Shi Renjie would die.
Shenggu glanced at Wang Jun, and he thought that among these people, only Wang Jun was the only one who could kill Shi Renjie, and asked, "Dare to ask Emperor Zhao, did you make the move?" ”
Wang Jun shook his head with a smile on his face, and said, "I disappointed the Holy Aunt, Shi Renjie was not killed by me and my guards, but by Ling'er and the three of them. ”
The holy aunt looked at Zhao Ling'er and the three of them differently, although Zhao Ling'er and the three of them had good strength, but in her opinion, they were still too young and could not be Shi Renjie's opponent at all.
If there is Wang Jun and Dian Wei pressing the formation, the three of them will have the possibility of defeating Shi Renjie, but if you want to say that you want to kill Shi Renjie, the three of them are always a little worse, and asked, "What's going on?" It's not that I underestimate you, even if the three of you use all your means, you can't kill Shi Renjie. ”
Although Lin Yueru didn't like the Holy Aunt to look down on the three of them, she was still quite self-aware, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Actually, Shi Renjie volunteered to die, and directly let go of his defense and embraced death." ”
After a pause, he said: "Actually, if Shi Renjie doesn't do that, we can kill him, but we will be injured a little." ”
As she spoke, Lin Yueru raised two fingers, pinched them together, and told them that these injuries were at most.
The Holy Aunt smiled lightly, with an expression of believing you, and said perfunctorily: "Miss Yueru, what you said is true, but I need to remind you to be careful next time, not every time you will be so lucky." ”
Zhao Ling'er nodded slightly and said, "If it weren't for Brother Wang Jun's presence, we wouldn't have acted so recklessly." ”
Seeing that the Holy Aunt still wanted to say something, Zhao Ling'er hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Can General Duan Lei's Lunatic Cultists be arrested?" ”
"Except for some of them who are out on duty, there are still a few people who have fled in the chaos, and the rest have all been arrested, and those who have escaped, their subordinates have sent people to hunt them down." Duan Lei said excitedly, with the credit of this time, and the one on his head who was too deeply involved in the Lunatic Cult, his sub-word could finally be removed.
Zhao Ling'er looked at Duan Lei with praise and said, "Very good General Duan Lei, when everyone is arrested and handed over to the Prison Temple for interrogation, those who have no evil deeds can be released."
Those who have evil deeds shall be punished according to the magnitude of their culpability. ”
"Yes, Witch King." Duan Lei bowed and said.
A month later, the affairs of Nanzhao Kingdom were finally dealt with, and all the members of the Lunatic Worship Sect were released after trial, killed and imprisoned, and imprisoned.
With the dissolution of the Lunatic Cult as a cult organization by Zhao Ling'er, the people of Nanzhao Kingdom were suddenly allowed to set off firecrackers to celebrate, they were fed up with the oppression of the Lunatic Cultists, forced to buy and sell, collected protection fees, and acted in a domineering manner.
This arrest of the Lunatic Cult, coupled with Zhao Linger's removal of the flood and the killing of Shi Renjie, made Zhao Linger's prestige in Nanzhao reach its peak, and all her decrees were unimpeded in Nanzhao.
The original witch king reflected on his mistakes, and faced the people of Nanzhao Kingdom "voluntarily" went to Bianjing to become a monk and pray for the blessings of the people of Nanzhao Kingdom.
Nanzhao King's Palace, Jinghu Palace, Wang Jun, Zhao Ling'er, Shenggu, Li Xiaoyao and several others were all present.
Zhao Ling'er and Wang Jun sat on the main seat, and listened to Wang Jun glance at a few people, and said: "I have been away from Zhao for a long time, and Zhao Guo has sent a message asking me to return to Zhao State as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation, so Ling'er and I discussed it and decided to temporarily hand over Nanzhao Kingdom to several people to manage. ”
As he spoke, Wang Jun glanced at the white-haired Shi Gonghu
, the high-spirited Nanban general and the compassionate saint aunt.
Originally, Shi Gonghu's search for Zhao Ling'er had already completed the task, so the first thing he did when he came back was to resign and go into hiding, but in order to stabilize the order of the court of Nanzhao, Wang Jun asked Zhao Ling'er to invite him out.
After all, Shi Gonghu's identity as the patriarch of the Three Dynasties is very effective, and using him to suppress some people with evil intentions can make Zhao Ling'er control the court more easily.
"Emperor Zhao, I don't care if you return to Zhao or not, but one thing is that we will not agree to the Witch King following you back to Zhao." Shi Gonghu stood up and said without hesitation.
Looking at Shi Gonghu, who was slightly hunchbacked, Wang Jun couldn't help but think that it seemed that Shi Renjie's death hit him quite hard, and the last time he saw him, he was still full of black hair and a straight waist.
No matter how you look at it now, he is an old man, with white hair, a wrinkled face, and a hunched back, only in good spirits, but also full of twilight.
"Impossible, Ling'er must go back with me, there is a big hidden danger to her safety in Nanzhao Kingdom." Wang Jun shook his head, and immediately rejected Shi Gonghu's request, and said.
"How can Nanzhao be in danger, Shi... Renjie is dead, the status of the Witch King in Nanzhao is the highest, and there are us old guys alive, no one can hurt the Witch King, unless they step on our corpse. "Shi Gonghu is categorical.
In Shi Gonghu's view, Zhao is much more dangerous than Nanzhao, Nanzhao is a corner of peace, except for the need to face the pressure of Zhao, no force can threaten the security of Nanzhao.
Wang Jun stared at Shi Gonghu, sneered, and said, "This joke is not funny at all, aren't you surprised?" Where did Shi Renjie's heavenly cultivation come from?
I don't deny that Shi Renjie is a genius, but Shi Gonghu, don't forget, it was you who personally threw Shi Renjie, a 10-year-old son, off the cliff.
Even a normal person can fall to death, even if he doesn't die, he will be disabled for life. So the question is, how did he survive, and where did he learn his skills, haven't you ever been curious? ”
Everyone was in an uproar, and couldn't help but look at Shi Gonghu, if it weren't for Wang Jun himself, they wouldn't have thought that Shi Renjie was Shi Gonghu's righteous son.
I saw Shi Gonghu's calm appearance, but everyone still noticed his hands that were tightly grasping the armrests of the Taishi chair, and they saw the green tendons on the back of their hands, and immediately knew that Shi Gonghu's heart was not as calm as it was on the surface.
Shi Gonghu forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and asked calmly, "What does it mean to dare to ask Emperor Zhao?" ”
Wang Jun didn't answer Shi Gonghu directly, not that Wang Jun didn't believe them, but that this matter was related to Zhao Ling'er's secret, turned his head to look at Zhao Ling'er, and said, "What did Ling'er say?" ”
Zhao Ling'er smiled lightly as if the sun was shining, and said: "Everyone here is their own people, they are completely worthy of our trust, Brother Wang Jun, you can tell them." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a burst of emotion in their hearts, judging from the secrecy of Wang Jun and the two, they knew that this must be a shocking secret.
Everyone glanced at each other, raised three fingers, and said in unison: "I, Li Xiaoyao (Lin Yueru, Shi Gonghu, Anu...... I swear that if I leak today's events to anyone, I will suffer from ten thousand arrows piercing my heart and die with thunder in the sky. ”
As the oath of several people fell, they heard a "boom", and a thunderbolt sounded in the sky of Jinghu Palace, as if the heavens had sworn an oath.
Seeing them make an oath, Wang Jun immediately played a spell, and golden Dili flew out from his fingertips, and a thin protective shield covered the Jinghu Palace.
Everyone watched Wang Jun become more and more cautious, and they understood that the more important this secret was.
Wang Jun glanced at everyone and said slowly: "This matter starts from the eve of my accession to the throne, and after I fell asleep, I saw Nuwa Niangniang.........
After more than half an hour, Wang Jun finally told them what happened, but he concealed part of it. Of course, Wang Jun didn't tell them anything about the new army he trained, the helpers he recruited, and the alliance of Chonglou.
Looking at the people who were lost in thought, he picked up the teacup and drank a moist throat.
After a while, Wang Jun looked at the few people who had recovered and sneered, "Do you still think you have the strength to protect Ling'er now?"
If you Nanzhao really have masters, you won't let Shi Renjie become like this. ”
Although Shi Gonghu doesn't like Wang Jun's cynicism, there is one thing Wang Jun said is quite right, with the means of the people behind the scenes, he will never sit back and watch Zhao Ling'er be safe and sound, as long as they move a little bit of their hands and feet, not to mention whether Zhao Ling'er is in danger or not, the people of Nanzhao Kingdom can't stand it first.
And the most terrifying thing is that Zhao Ling'er continues to stay in Nanzhao Kingdom, and the divine realm will not let Zhao Ling'er go. Once Zhao Ling'er is in danger, then Nanzhao will not only completely offend Zhao Guo, but also offend Nuwa Niangniang, and in the end, the divine realm will not let Nanzhao Guo go, and then Nanzhao will only commit suicide and apologize.
Shi Gonghu thought of such a terrible thing in Nanzhao Kingdom, and couldn't help but beat a spirit, but letting Zhao Ling'er go to Zhao Kingdom is also a shameful thing for Nanzhao Kingdom, in order to be able to help the Witch King in the future, Nanzhao Kingdom needs to train an elite soldier, calm face, and said: "Please rest assured that Emperor Zhao, our Nanzhao Kingdom can't protect the Witch King now, but one day the Nanzhao Kingdom can protect the Witch King excellently." ”
The Nanban General and the Holy Aunt nodded at the same time, and secretly decided in their hearts that they were ready to gather the elites of the Black Witch Clan and the White Witch Clan to form a new army to prepare for the crusade against the God Realm.
Zhao Ling'er explained a few more words, took Anu and Tang Yu Xiaobao, and proposed to the three of them to leave.
.........
Due to some accidents in Zhao Guo, Wang Jun no longer acted slowly in order to hurry back to Bianjing, and returned directly as fast as possible.
In the morning, Wang Jun and his party were still in Taihe City, and in the afternoon, they returned to Bianjing, leaving Zhao Ling'er and a few people in Xianling Mansion, and Wang Jun took Dian Wei back to the palace non-stop.
In the Wenhua Palace, Wang Jun immediately summoned Zhuge Liang, Wang Chengxiang, King Baxian, Bao Zheng and other important ministers.
Wang Jun sat on the dragon chair, looked at Zhuge Liang and the others with a majestic face, and asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong, you are so anxious to invite me back to the palace?" ”
Several people glanced at each other, and finally Zhuge Liang stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the Divine Realm sent an envoy to recruit our Zhao State before the month, as long as we promise to serve the Divine Realm, we can fly to the Immortal Realm." ”
Wang Jun was not surprised at all by the Divine Realm's recruitment of Zhao Guo, if it weren't for Prime Minister Wang Cheng's access to historical information, he wouldn't have known that there was news in this world that Qin Shi Huang led the Qin army to conquer the heavens, causing heavy casualties in the Divine Realm.
Since then, the divine realm has cared more about the human world, and it would be a little strange if he didn't come to Zhao'an, Wang Jun nodded slightly, sneered, and said, "What conditions do they have?" ”
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he didn't dare to continue to report, and he didn't speak for a long time, and said, "The minister doesn't dare to say." ”
Although Wang Jun's face was a little cold, he would not be angry at his own people, waved his hand, and said, "I forgive you for your innocence, continue to speak." ”
Zhuge Liang hesitated again and again, and said hesitantly: "The conditions said by the envoy of the divine realm, first, the noble concubine Niangniang and Princess Ling'er will be handed over to them for disposal,
Second, every three years, Zhao State contributes 30,000 boys and girls to the divine realm to be angry and servants.
Third, the territory of the Zhao Kingdom will never be allowed to expand, and three layers of qi will be handed over to the Divine Realm every ten years.
Fourth, the Zhao Kingdom needs to pay tribute to the Divine Realm every year with ten heavenly and earthly treasures.
He also said... He also said that as long as Zhao Guo agreed to these conditions, he would ensure that Zhao Guo would always have smooth weather, otherwise Zhao Guo would be subject to continuous natural disasters day by day, and there would be endless demons and monsters every night. ”
Wang Jun's face changed, he slammed the table, and the desk in front of him immediately became torn apart, with a gloomy face, and said, "What else?" ”
Seeing that Zhuge Liang no longer spoke, Wang Cheng sighed helplessly, and arched his hand: "The envoy of the Divine Realm thinks that I, the Zhao Kingdom, neglected him, and three days ago he went to the Divine Realm and let the Chiliu River rain rain for three days in a row, causing the water of the Chiliu River to rise sharply and cause the embankment to burst. More than 7,000 people were killed or wounded, more than 1,000 were missing, and more than 200,000 people were affected. ”
"Look for death." Wang Jun's eyes were full of cold light, and he squeezed out two words from his mouth.
Although Wang Jun felt furious, his reason was still there, he turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang and asked, "Kong Ming, can we raise troops now?" ”
"Back to the emperor, although our army is slowly assembling now, in order to ensure the safety of Zhao and let the army have no worries, it will take two months to change the guard.
There are still soldiers who have not yet gathered the armor in their hands, although ordinary mortal iron can hurt the Protoss, but it is still not as powerful as the spirit soldiers.
Therefore, the minister suggested that it was better to temporarily appease the messenger of the Divine Realm, and wait for the army to be ready in three months, and then use him to sacrifice the flag to comfort the souls of the dead in Chiliujiang," Zhuge Liang immediately said in a loud voice.
Wang Jun stared at Zhuge Liang for a while, and saw that Zhuge Liang did not have any intention of avoiding Wang Jun's eyes, and understood that Zhuge Liang insisted on three months before making a move, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, but I need to see him tomorrow." ”
"Yes." Everyone said in unison.
