56, a chance for revenge
The life of several nephews of the scholar king in Niu Ling can be said to be like sitting on pins and needles, and according to the consistent provisions of the principle of succession of the kingdom, the scholar king should not sit on the throne of the king. In order to sit on the throne of the king, the scholar king was scheming at the beginning, and several princes who were older than the scholar king in Niu Ling at that time were not very successful, so the old king at that time broke the rules and let the scholar king inherit the throne. After the old king died of illness, in order to consolidate his position and eliminate all possible hidden dangers, the scholar king conspired with the beast king to let those princes set a fire by the beast king when they went into the mountains to hunt and have fun in the Linshi country, and all of them were burned to death in the deep mountains and old forests.
It turned out that there were four princes who were older than King Scholar, and these four princes were all born in the main palace of Niu Lingguo at that time, and King Scholar's mother could only be regarded as an unfavored concubine of the old king in the palace. At a young age, the scholar king was taught by his mother that he knew his position and situation in the kingdom and that he could either get ahead or become a lamb to the slaughter. The scholar's mother often reminded her son that if he could not achieve a higher status than the other princes while the old king was still alive, once the old king died, the mother and son would only become the flesh of the princes born in the main palace. Since he was a child, the scholar king has been taught the hardships of survival, so he has a sense of crisis at any time. Later, he took ruthless measures to cause several princes older than him to die, eliminating the hidden dangers of his own kingdom. Although the princes who were older than the scholar king had died in the country of Niu Ling, those princes had already married and started a family, and they all had successors. The four eldest princes and their wives all gave birth to a son, and the sons of these princes all knew how their father died, and they also knew very well the situation of several of them in the kingdom, if they were not careful, they would be dealt with by the scholar king in a very cruel way, so in order to survive, the four nephews of the scholar king were very docile in the kingdom, and they were cautious everywhere, for fear of encountering accidents. But secretly, several of them secretly colluded, preparing to find the right time to achieve a Jedi turnaround.
The four little princes feel that the current situation is a great opportunity for them to turn over, the scholar king is too ambitious, to invade the territory of the Cuizhu Kingdom, his kingdom capital was occupied by Xia Yu's cold sneak attack, and the Beast King, who is allied with the scholar king, is jealous of the queen mother of the Cuizhu Kingdom, and the two of them are completely opposed, and now they have a deep hatred. These four little princes felt that they should organize themselves when the capital of the scholar king was lost, the backyard was on fire, and the scholar king was out on the battlefield, and went to the Linshi country to find revenge on the beast king who had harmed their father.
If you want to avenge your father, relying on the strength of their little princes alone is tantamount to taking a chestnut in the fire, it is simply impossible, these four princes who have been planning for a long time when the scholar king is bent on the whirlpool valley and has no time to take care of the internal affairs of the kingdom, they secretly colluded with the general army defending the city in the remote city of Red Moon City in Niu Ling Country, and secretly recruited troops here, this Red Moon City is located in the remote area of Niu Ling Country, where the natural conditions are very harsh, and the surrounding area of the city is full of mountains and mountains. Most of the original inhabitants here live by hunting, and the harsh living conditions have trained the people here to be brave and good at fighting, and the place of Red Moon City was originally a natural tribe, and later because of the Scholar King's accession to the throne, he carried out territorial expansion and conquered this tribe by force. The indigenous people here are not convinced of the scholar king. In order to strengthen his rule over this area, King Shusheng appointed Long Mai, a military general of the imperial court, to serve as the chief soldier of the city and lead the troops to be stationed here. This scholar king in the conquest of Red Moon City highlighted superb talent, but in the garrison of the city commander made a big mistake in the use of personnel, this Long Mai was originally the old king's knee of the eldest prince's cronies, originally in the effort to assist the eldest prince to inherit the throne in the future, but later by the youngest scholar king took advantage of the loophole, tried his best to please the old king, so that the eldest prince's dream of king failed. Later, he was also murdered by the ruthless scholar king and the beast king. Perhaps the scholar king believed too much that no one could challenge his strength in the kingdom, so he did not pay attention to strengthening the precautions against the cronies of the original elder princes, and the scholar king felt that the Red Moon City was in a remote place, and it was impossible to cause any trouble, so he rashly sent Long Mai to garrison this place. Long Mai went to Red Moon City on the edge, and those little princes seized this opportunity to secretly collude with Long Mai to recruit troops and horses in this place where it was impossible for the scholar king to increase his attention, accumulate strength, and prepare to wait for the opportunity to make a comeback, so as to avenge his father.
When Xia Yu suddenly attacked the capital, the little princes did not make any resistance, and hurriedly took their families to escape from the capital overnight and rushed to Red Moon City. After arriving in Red Moon City, several of them decided that it was time to take action, and they knew that now that the scholar king was dealing with Miao Wen in the river valley, it was impossible for them to go to make any difference. What can be done at present is to go to the Linshi Kingdom to find the Beast King who has turned against the Scholar King to avenge his father's death, and then find a way to find an opportunity to kill the Scholar King, and after killing the Scholar King, they unanimously agreed to elect the son of the former eldest prince as the new king.
Originally, they conspired to enter the Linshi Kingdom to find the Beast King, because after the Beast King returned with the Queen Mother of the Cuizhu Kingdom, the Scholar King sent Princess Yuping to guard the border between the two countries, but in order to lead the Beast King to the river valley and clean it up with Miao Wen, he withdrew Princess Yuping's defense on the border between the two countries, which created an opportunity for several princes to enter the Linshi Kingdom without any resistance.
In order to achieve the conditions of cleaning up the scholar king as soon as possible and satisfying the requirements of the queen mother of Cuizhu, he must get rid of the scholar king before he can marry him, some of the eager beast kings did not seriously assess how much chance they could win in the river valley, so they took a group of soldiers and horses, ready to cross the border of Niu Ling Kingdom, and went to the river valley to get the head of the scholar king. Just as he was about to step out of the Linshi Realm, Long Mai and the princes who were rushing from Red Moon City stopped him with a troop of soldiers and horses. The King of the Beasts was so angry that he was in a hurry when he was blocked in his march, and the generals with him rushed only at the army that was blocking his advance. They knew that the Beast King was a brave and unscrupulous guy, so they sent a part of the troops led by Long Mai to deal with the Beast King here, and the four little princes led a group of troops to take advantage of the Beast King's lack of defense in the fight, bypassing the Beast King's army from the side, and heading straight for the capital of the Linshi Kingdom. These little princes knew that the Queen Mother of Cuizhu, which the King of Beasts and the King of Scholars had won by all means, was in the capital of the Linshi Kingdom, and if they took advantage of the fact that the King of Beasts could not get out of the confrontation with Longmai here, they would go to the capital and snatch the Queen Mother of Cuizhu King, so that they could have an extra bargaining chip for the war, and if they could send the Queen Mother of Cuizhu back to the Kingdom of Cuizhu safely, they would definitely get the full help of King Cuizhu and realize their desire to take the throne of king.
This Long Mai is also a tiger general, his martial arts cultivation is not under the king of violent beasts, there is a saying called the bird for the one who pleases himself, this Long Mai is the confidant of the eldest prince, is always loyal to the eldest prince, the eldest prince did not sit on the throne of the king, and was later harmed, which made Long Mai feel that he did not protect his master, and his heart was very sad, in order to reach the critical moment to be able to avenge the murdered master to his last strength, so Long Mai hid his true strength. Now that he has met an enemy who has harmed his master, this is the time to use his talents. When Long Mai saw the Beast King, he immediately stabbed at the Beast King with his spear. The king of the beast thought that he was fighting with a mediocre person, and he didn't take Long Mai's attack as a big deal at all, he picked up the big knife in his hand to resist, but his hands were numb by the strength of the spear used by Long Mai, the king of the beast appreciated the power of Long Mai, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly held the knife with both hands to deal with it, the two of them fought here for dozens of rounds, and finally because the king of the beast felt incompetent, he was gradually at a disadvantage, and the king of the beast knew that he would be entangled, and he met an opponent today, If you don't find the right opportunity to evacuate, you will suffer. After parrying a few more rendezvous, the king of the beast shook a knife and fled on his horse, Long Mai followed closely, and the king of the beast ran into a mountain forest, because in his own territory, the king of the beast was very familiar with the road, and after Long Mai chased a few ravines behind, the king of the beast disappeared without a trace.
Long Mai reversed and returned, organized the soldiers brought from Red Moon City to destroy all the soldiers brought by the Beast King, and then continued to rush to the capital of Linshi Kingdom, and went to pick up the four princes who had arrived in the capital.
These four princes arrived at the capital of the Linshi Kingdom at a rapid speed, and the defenders of the capital of the Linshi Kingdom did not expect the king to come out of the city with an attacking army, and did not make any preparations for dealing with it. Several princes entered the palace of the Linshi country as if they entered the realm of no one, the queen mother of the king of the beast kingdom knew her son's consistent nature, and it was a matter of time before the avenger came to the door, in order to save her own night, the old queen mother jumped into the pool of the palace and committed suicide, and the four princes found the queen mother of the king of cuizhu in the depths of the palace, and the sister of the king of the scholar's new wife, the king of the beasts, saw that the situation was not good, and when she was about to hang herself in the back garden, she was searched and found by several little princes and rescued immediately. When several princes were about to return with the Queen Mother of the Cuizhu Kingdom and the wife of the Scholar King, Long Mai was unable to chase and kill the King of the Beasts, so he had arrived with his troops. Because they didn't kill the beast king, they simply stationed here, which is considered to have obtained the capital of the beast king, occupied his lair, and waited here for him to come back and die.
