Chapter 570: A Mountain

Chapter 570

In a pavilion in the middle of the imperial garden, a beautiful woman wearing a purple and gold phoenix crown and a gorgeous palace costume is twisting the fish food in a small porcelain bowl with her slender fingers and gently spilling it into the pool next to her.

A group of red and white koi immediately swam over, wriggling their tails and scrambling for food.

"Queen Mother," Li Mingyuan shouted respectfully.

The queen's surname is Xiao, Xiao Yueru, who was originally the princess of the Leopard Country, and later married the Lion Country and became the queen of Ning Shihong.

It's a pity that this marriage did not last too long for the friendship between the lion country and the leopard country.

It has only been five years since Xiao Yueru married to the Lion Country, and the Lion Country and the Leopard Country have restarted the war, and it has not stopped so far.

After all, the Lion Country and the Leopard Country are the two most powerful forces in the world today, and they border each other.

One mountain still does not tolerate two tigers, not to mention that lions and leopards have different roots.

"The monarch is here," Xiao Yueru handed the small porcelain bowl in her hand to the maid who was waiting next to her, walked up to Ning Shihong with a smile, and after saluting, she grabbed Ning Shihong's arm.

Ning Shihong nodded with a smile, pulled Xiao Yueru to sit down in the pavilion, and after chatting a few words, he looked at Li Mingyuan:

"National teacher, I'm sorry for you to call Princess Wan'er over."

Although Li Mingyuan didn't know what Princess Ning Wan'er called for, he still didn't hesitate, turned around and left the imperial garden.

A moment later, a slender young girl with a beautiful appearance and temperament ran into the imperial garden.

It's just that before entering the pavilion, she stopped, took two deep breaths, and then tidied up her clothes, and then moved the lotus step lightly, and after entering the pavilion, she respectfully saluted Ning Shihong and Xiao Yueru:

"I've seen my father, I've seen my mother."

Ning Shihong nodded and asked with a smile:

"I haven't seen you in a few days, tell me, my precious princess, what have you done these days?"

Ning Wan'er smiled mischievously, stepped forward directly and grabbed Ning Shihong's other arm, and also sat next to Ning Shihong, and said truthfully:

"I didn't do anything, I just took the guards around the capital a few times, and most of the time, I stayed in the palace and studied those military books."

Ning Shihong smiled and nodded:

"I only gave birth to a daughter like you, and the ministers said that I should give birth to a prince so that I could inherit my throne in the future."

Ning Wan'er was slightly displeased: "Who stipulated that her daughter can't be the monarch?"

Hearing this, the national teacher Li Mingyuan instantly frowned.

Queen Xiao Yueru also frowned slightly.

In the history of the Lion Kingdom, and even in the history of the rest of the world, there is no precedent for a woman to be the king.

But hearing this, Ning Shihong laughed, "Yes, that's a good point!"

"I just want my daughter to be the future king!"

Hearing this, the national teacher Li Mingyuan knelt directly on the ground and said eagerly:

"Your Majesty, you are still young, and you can still ...... again."

"Shut up!" Ning Shihong suddenly turned his face.

"When I was in the Demigod Mountain, the powerhouses of the major forces were there, couldn't I still deal with a person of unknown origin?"

"If you had killed those people at that time, the Demigod Mountain would not have collapsed!"

"When the demigod mountain collapses, so does the faith of the people!"

"You go out into the streets and see what's going on."

"The hearts of the people are terrified, and everyone says that our world is going to be destroyed."

"Tell me, does it matter if there is a king in such a country?"

"Ah, tell me!"

Hearing Ning Shihong's hysterical roar, Li Mingyuan was speechless for a moment.

He wanted to say that that Xiao Zhan scared him.

But he didn't dare to say.

He knew that even if he said it, Ning Shihong would not believe it.

After all, he, Li Mingyuan, is already one of the most powerful people in the entire Lion Country.

Only the monarch Ning Shihong can suppress him.

"Li Mingyuan," Ning Shihong's eyes suddenly became fierce:

"Do you think that the Lion Kingdom should no longer have the surname Ning, but should follow your surname Li?"

Hearing this, Li Mingyuan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly leaned over and bowed:

"Monarch Mingjian, I, Li Mingyuan, have absolutely no intention of rebelling!"

Empress Xiao Yueru also sighed at this time:

"The monarch, the national teacher is conscientious and conscientious, and he thinks about our lion country, and we have seen it all these years."

Ning Shihong snorted coldly and continued:

"If the people's hearts are in turmoil, the world will be in turmoil."

"Li Mingyuan, I'll give you a month, within a month, bring that Xiao Zhan's head to see me!"

Li Mingyuan's face was embarrassed, but he still nodded and said:

"Obey, Minister!"

After speaking, Li Mingyuan got up and left quickly.

It's just that the moment he turned around, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

Looking at Li Mingyuan's figure that seemed to have aged for decades in an instant, Queen Xiao Yueru sighed softly and said:

"Monarch, demigod mountain, has it really collapsed?"

The anger on Ning Shihong's face turned into a smile again:

"It's just a mountain of stone, and if it collapses, it collapses."

Hearing this, Ning Wan'er's face was full of surprise: "But Father, you were still so angry just now?"

Ning Shihong shook his head, "Wan'er, how did you memorize the "Ning Ancestral Teachings" I gave you some time ago?"

Ning Wan'er nodded, "I've already memorized it."

Ning Shihong nodded again:

"Then you memorize it, what is written on page 35?"

Ning Wan'er was stunned, and then spoke:

"Ning's Ancestral Teachings."

"The sacred mountain falls, the immortals come, all the descendants of the Ning clan should stand behind the immortals, listen to their words, and follow their plans."

Ning Shihong's eyes lit up:

"The reason why our Lion Kingdom has been the most powerful force in this world for a long time is because generations of people have followed the teachings of their ancestors."

"I don't care if that Xiao Zhan is an immortal or not, and I don't care what his purpose is, but if he makes the Demigod Mountain collapse, he must have his purpose, and my Lion Kingdom will just wait and see what happens."

"If that Xiao Zhan is really a god, my lion kingdom will follow his left and right."

Hearing this, Xiao Yueru's eyes were full of surprise.

She knows Ning Shihong very well, and knows better than anyone that Ning Shihong is an extremely arrogant person.

But now he actually said the word "follow".

Ning Wan'er was even more puzzled.

"In that case, Father, why did you reprimand the national teacher just now?"

Ning Shihong smiled.

"He said he had no intention of rebelling, did he really have no intention of rebelling?"

If he Li Mingyuan was loyal, how could he invite that Xiao Zhan to our Lion Country?

He couldn't even see through that Xiao Zhan, so he dared to bring people into the lion country, which was enough to show that he had bad intentions.

Moreover, Li Mingyuan treated Ning Shihong as a fool, so he naturally had to act like a fool.

"Don't talk about this," Ning Shihong waved his hand, "Wan'er, you always have to remember."

"What should happen is destined to happen, and no one can change it."

After speaking, Ning Shihong got up:

"I went into retreat, Wan'er temporarily managed the government for me, and after I got the news of Xiao Zhan, she will call me again."

Looking at Ning Shihong's back, Ning Wan'er fell into deep thought.

She looked at Xiao Yueru beside her, frowned and asked:

"Behind the scenes, is that Xiao Zhan really from heaven?"

Xiao Yueru couldn't give an answer.

So, what exactly is Xiao Zhan's plan?

The so-called worship of heaven and earth is nothing more than the fantasy of all people in this world.

Xiao Zhan shattered their illusions

I want to have a chance for them to accept the facts.

And 10,000 members of the God of War Temple also came out of the Star Battleship and went to all corners of this world to spread some news.

A certain day.

Ning Wan'er finished dealing with the piles of twists and turns, rubbed her wrists, and saw that there was only one eunuch standing next to her, her eyes rolled, and she immediately stood up excitedly.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess, ...... you"

Before the eunuch's words were finished, Ning Wan'er picked up a stack of folds and smashed them on the door of her head.

The eunuch's eyelids rolled and he fainted suddenly.

Ning Wan'er sneakily left the main hall, then changed into civilian clothes and left the palace directly.

After walking around the street, Ning Wan'er went directly into a tavern.

The tavern is not luxurious, and the drinks in it are not very good.

But Ning Wan'er just likes to come here, because here, there is a storyteller who knows a lot of strange things, and those are what Ning Wan'er is most interested in.

Seeing Ning Wan'er enter the door, the old gentleman who told the story nodded at Ning Wan'er, said hello, and then continued:

"Today, let's move on to the demigod mountain."

"As we all know, the worship ceremony held at the Demigod Mountain collapsed directly within a few days of the completion of the Demigod Mountain."

"Someone said, "Hey, could it be that the worship ceremony was not done? Is it a punishment from heaven?"

Immediately someone shouted, "Isn't it?"

The old gentleman who spoke shook his head, stroked his white beard, and said slowly, "Fei Ye, Fei Ye."

"I just heard a saying, and today I will tell the big guys to hear it, and after everyone listens, you can distinguish the truth from the false."

As he spoke, the old gentleman took a sip of wine, cleared his throat, and raised his voice:

"There's a saying that's been spreading rapidly lately."

"It's saying that our world is actually just one of the fragments of another world after it collapsed."

"On the back of our world, the abyss of the moat is the fracture surface."

"Our ancestors, with this fragment of the world lost to the stars, and for a long time, the truth was forgotten, and we relied on our own guesses to attribute it all to the punishment of the heavens."

As soon as these words came out, the tavern fell silent for a moment.

In the next moment, there was another burst of laughter.

"Storyteller, you dare to talk about such a ridiculous thing?"

"Yes, what about the fragments of another world, where is that world? In your dreams, isn't it?"

But there was a small group of drinkers who were silent and lost in thought.

Among them is Ning Wan'er.

The old gentleman, who told the story, was not annoyed when he heard the others questioning, and continued to laugh:

"I said, I also heard this statement from other places, whether it is true or not, everyone has their own judgment in their hearts."

"Also, when the worship ceremony is held, someone descends from the sky, and I'm sure everyone has heard about it."

"The rumor I got is that those people came to our world from the home planet to confirm whether our world is one of the fragments that was left behind after the collapse of the home planet."

Ning Wan'er stood up at this time and asked in a deep voice:

"Old man, according to what you say, those who come from heaven should not be enemies, so why did they destroy the Demigod Mountain?"

Hearing Ning Wan'er's question, the smile on the old storyteller's face gradually dissipated, his eyes became complicated, he sighed, and said slowly:

"The demigod mountain is just a mountain."

Hearing this, everyone in the tavern stood up and looked at the old storyteller with angry faces.

The old man was not afraid at all, but smiled with some irony:

"Look, you mock the absurdity of the truth."

"Mention an ordinary mountain, your reaction

But it's so big."

"It seems that it is very wise for the Demigod Mountain to be destroyed."

Ning Wan'er's eyes suddenly lit up, "Old man, where did you hear these rumors?"

The old gentleman shook his head, slowly closed his eyes, and took a sip of wine before saying:

"It doesn't matter where I heard it, the important thing is that people took the initiative to reveal the news, which already shows their attitude and friendliness."

Ning Wan'er was stunned, "You mean, this rumor was released by Xiao Zhan on his own initiative?"

Hearing Ning Wan'er say the name "Xiao Zhan", everyone looked at her.

The old storyteller also opened his eyes, looked at Ning Wan'er half-drunk and half-consciously, and said after a long time:

"Whether it's rumors or facts, I believe that Her Royal Highness the princess, you should have a judgment in your heart."

"Princess?"

Everyone was stunned.

Ning Wan'er frowned and pondered for a moment, then turned around and walked out of the tavern quickly.

Many drinkers shook their unconscious heads, then looked at the old gentleman who spoke, and said angrily:

"Old fellow, get drunk, you talk some nonsense, one moment it's a fragment, another moment it's a princess's, and Lao Tzu won't come to cheer again."

Quite a few people left the tavern scolding.

The old storyteller slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were obviously full of drunkenness, but he looked so wise.

He muttered in a low voice:

"Xiao Zhan, Xiao Zhan, well, good name, born God of War, invincible in my life."
