Chapter 72: The Dead at the South Gate
Outside the capital to the north more than 30 miles, is the continuous Beimin Mountain, the North Min Mountain is the size of more than 160 peaks, and the other peaks of the South Zheng Kingdom are different, the size of the North Min Mountain peaks are very high, successfully blocked the invasion of the barbarians in the north, nearly a hundred years of the entire South Zheng capital city to guard the impregnable.
Therefore, even if Nan Zhengguo has been rotten and stinky, it has maintained peace for several generations. Moreover, the east of Nanzheng State faces the sea, and there are only a few small countries in the southern corner, and the three large countries in the southwest and western corners are equal in strength to Nanzheng State, and they are also in a stage where no one dares to make the first move.
The defeat of the Nanmen Kingdom was, in the final analysis, due to the civil strife in the Nanmen Kingdom. This war came and went quickly, and there was no chance for the other two countries to play at all, so it ended with the defeat of the descendants of the Nanmen royal family of the Nanmen Kingdom.
Now the sixth son of the first lord of the Nanmen Kingdom, that is, the sixth brother of Nanmen Yu, was born to Concubine Yin, and the Yin family rebelled and established the six princes as the lords of the Nanmen Kingdom, and the Yin family controlled the real power of the court.
The only remaining heir of the royal family of the Nanmen Kingdom is the proton Nanmen Yu of the Nanmen Kingdom who is outside.
However, the Yin clan was not in a hurry. One is that this proton is alone in Nan Zhengguo, and it is difficult to sing alone, and it can't become any climate; And the more important reason is that a more important secret about the Nanmen Kingdom has been in the hands of those in power for generations, even if the Yin clan has now cleared all hostile forces, they will not be able to sleep peacefully after all.
Because the Nanmen royal family has always believed that the heirs of the Nanmen royal family have always been chosen by God, how to choose, has always been circulated by the Nanmen royal family's own selection method, this complex and mysterious set of trial methods has been in charge of the Jingmen family.
The birth of each lord of the Nanmen royal family must pass the test of the Jingmen clan, and only by passing can he become the actual successor of the Nanmen country, and only then can he be qualified to become the lord of the Nanmen country, and those who do not pass will have no chance of survival. So there has never been a prince in the South Gate Kingdom.
At the beginning, the lord of the South Gate suddenly fell ill and was dying, he hurriedly let the five princes test in turn, the four princes died one after another in just one day, and the remaining six princes were born to Concubine Yin, and the Yin family was powerful in the South Gate State, so they simply did not do two things, raised troops in one fell swoop, and secretly got the help of the South Zheng State, seized the military power, and the Jingmen family was almost wiped out.
It can be said that the rebellion of the Yin clan was an absolute success, because the four princes of the trial were all dead, and the only one left who had no experience was the six princes, so there were not a few people among the ministers who believed it.
Even if the Thorn Gong and the second uncle of Jingmen who slipped out, they only put the only bet on Nanmen Yu, who had not yet participated in the training.
The Jingmen clan, as the actual master of the secret of the Nanmen royal family, was sent by Uncle Jingmen and the Duke of Thorns with the determination of the queen mother to sacrifice the whole clan, and the queen mother believed that Nanmen Yu was the person destined by God.
In order to get rid of the pursuit of the Yin family, they did not directly enter Nanzheng Kingdom from the border of Nanmen Kingdom, but specially went around most of the circle from the southern corner, and sacrificed all the way into Rizhao Kingdom, so they pretended to be refugees and arrived in Nanzheng Kingdom.
The Jingmen clan is so obsessed with finding Nanmenyu, not only because of the family's mission and the queen's deathbed, but behind this trial, there is a more important secret, and it is also an even more important secret behind this trial. Once they pass the trial, each Southern Gate Imperial Family will have an army that is absolutely loyal to them.
The South Gate royal family died.
At the beginning, the lord of the South Gate Kingdom died violently, and the dead soldiers of the South Gate disappeared overnight, and there was no trace at all. Only the next lord of the South Gate Country who has passed the trial will have the power to awaken them.
It's just that the Thorn Gong has never been completely sure that the prince will try, and it is true that this kind of trial is not achieved overnight, and the prince of the Nanmen clan needs to receive step-by-step training from an early age and constantly increase the intensity before he can pass the trial in the end.
This is why, even if the Six Princes have no trials, there are still many people who believe that the Six Princes are the ones who can survive in the end.
Because Nanmen Yu has not undergone any training since he was a child.
Thorn Gong came up with a method, on the basis of urging Nanmenyu to strengthen physical training every day, in a short period of time, he continuously strengthened Nanmenyu's absorption of this drug.
In layman's terms, it shortens the drug tolerance rate experienced by the princes of Nanmen for more than ten years to just two years.
Even though Nanmenyu's performance has been very gratifying to Thorn Gong for more than a year, at this moment, the real trial still makes everyone anxious.
The most talented little prince of the Nanmen royal family in the past dynasties also needed three days of hard work. Now that only two days have passed, and there is no unusual sound in the cave, which is the best answer for them.
At midnight on the second day, Second Uncle Jing and Uncle Jingmen, who had been guarding outside the cave, stared intently at the entrance of the cave, and finally there was a loud noise in the cave, and the two hurriedly stood up and wanted to rush in, but they were stopped by the Thorn Gong.
"It's not a bad thing, don't rush." It's less than three days away, is it going to be done?
The Thorn Gong couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and he couldn't wait to rush in directly.
At this moment, there was a loud sound, like a dragon roaring and a tiger's roar, the leaves trembled, and the water rippled.
Thorn Gong was the first to rush in, and saw a back figure covered with black lines on his back in the pool appear in Thorn Gong's eyes.
Thorn Gong trembled his hands and slowly moved forward, Uncle Jingmen and Second Uncle Jing cried with joy, knelt down directly, and kept kowtowing.
"Son, oh, no, lord, lord." The Thorn Man immediately knelt down solemnly.
Nan Menyu turned around, and at the moment when he returned to his senses, the black lines on his body disappeared all the way, and his skin returned to its former appearance.
Nanmenyu stepped out of the pool and put on the clothes on the side, which was no longer important for the struggle of nine deaths and lives in the pool.
"What about them?" Nan Menyu got dressed, as if he had endless strength, the effect of this drug, he already knew from the first attempt.
Thorn Gong immediately raised his head.
"Don't worry, the lord of the country, the dead soldiers at the South Gate must be on their way to hear your call." Thorn Gong said with great certainty.
Nanmenyu nodded and personally helped up the three people on the ground.
"Master, Uncle Jingmen, Second Uncle Jing, thanks to you all the way, you can rest assured, I will definitely fight the enemy with blood, and avenge the queen mother and the Jingmen family."
"Lord of the country, the old slaves have always believed that you are the chosen one from heaven." Uncle Jingmen cried and wanted to kneel again, but was forcefully pulled up by Second Uncle Jing.
"Lord, you have disappeared for two days, now you should go back quickly, we still have to be careful before the dead arrive."
