Scenery of the North Chapter 20 The Broken Country
King Ning City.
King Ning was still sitting in that position as always, but there was a middle-aged person on the opposite side today.
"Congratulations to Elder Fang for joining the ranks of Grandmasters. King Ning smiled happily.
Elder Fang nodded slightly, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and replied, "King Ning, this should be your only smile during this time, right?"
Hearing this, King Ning's smile suddenly retracted, revealing the same solemnity as before, and said, "Indeed, what happened during this period of time is a bit chaotic, and it is a little different from what we expected at the beginning. β
Elder Fang sat quietly, listening to King Ning tell everything that had happened during this time, but the more Elder Fang listened, the more wrong it became.
"This Wu Ce is really a bit bold, and now he will start to shadow us behind his back. After hearing this, Elder Fang smiled slightly.
"Why is Elder Fang still laughing?" asked King Ning puzzled.
"It would be strange if he didn't do these things, this man has a big heart, a very fierce heart, and it is not surprising to do so. Elder Fang said.
"But he did it, to our plan. King Ning retorted.
Elder Fang waved his hand and stopped King Ning's words.
"Wu Ce's heart is too big, too ruthless, and he thinks too much, so he can control the military and political power of Wu State, and let King Wu, the puppet emperor, sit in the palace peacefully, if his heart was simpler, then King Wu must be him, and the relationship between Wu and Ning may be different. Fang Lao said.
King Ning nodded and said: "I think that back then, Wu Ce returned from traveling, and with his talent and ruthlessness, he walked to the core of the government and the opposition step by step, everyone thought that he would become the next King of Wu, but as a result, his brother actually ran to him and cried, this Wu Ce would give up being the King of Wu and become the general of Wu instead, I don't know what he was thinking in his mind? β
"In my opinion, he would like to do this, there were external troubles at that time, and there were internal worries, this is to retreat as advance, so Wu Ce is not simple, a King Wu may not be able to satisfy his appetite, with his current rights and King Wu, what is the difference between him and King Wu, even bigger than King Wu, the entire Kingdom of Wu respects him, he said that one who dares to say two, let his brother be King Wu, it should be him to prepare for the future, a figure in the realm of a 6-grade quasi-grandmaster, looking at the sesame size of the country of Wu, he is unwilling, he has seen the three great powers in the north, Shang, Zhou, Han, he can guard his own acres and three points of landElder Fang said.
King Ning exclaimed, "Is this true?"
Elder Fang nodded and said, "No one will not bow their heads in front of interests, if he disdains, it means that this benefit is not attractive enough." β
King Ning said with a smile: "What Elder Fang said has a taste, it's just a trade-off. If you are willing to give up, you will have to give up. β
Fang Lao said lightly: "So what is this little Wu Ce afraid of, Wu Ce's ambition is to seek our Daning, but he doesn't know that King Ning has never regarded him as an opponent, our opponents are the three." β
"With Fang Lao's words, then, let's start moving the capital. β
......
Since then, Ningguo moved its capital and ceded the royal city, and 100,000 people in Ningguo migrated from the south to the north.
With the important town of Saibei City in the north of Ningguo as the new royal city, it was immediately announced that it would form an alliance with Wu State, and the military and political center of the country would also enter the north from the south, and give up the jurisdiction of the south of Ningguo, which means that Ningguo hurt itself and took the initiative to give up two-thirds of the land of Ningguo, and took Saibei City as the center, and the other 5 sub-cities around it as the trunk, built a defense of tens of thousands of miles, completely separated the new city of Saibei from the old royal city, and gave this half of the country to others, which deserves to be magnificent.
Everyone felt unbelievable when King Ning promulgated this edict, why did he do this, the efforts of moving the capital to Ning for hundreds of years were directly burned down now, and he formed an alliance with Wu? A few years of war were fought in vain? Everything was buried in the hands of King Ning in vain, and the civil and military officials did not know how many people rose up to oppose it, and even mutinied.
But the final result was that in those days, the blood in Wangcheng was like a river, and thousands of people died as a result, but the relocation of the capital was still carried out as usual, and the civil and military officials of Ningguo were directly reduced by half, and those who died died and retreated, leaving only half of the people to go north with a feeling of anxiety.
Despite all the measures taken, more than half of the population is reluctant to leave their hometowns and chooses to stay in the south.
Since the beginning of the relocation of the capital, there has been a vacuum of power in the south for a moment, as if it has become a three-regardless zone, and all the incidents of burning, killing and looting have broken out in an instant, and the entire southern part of Ningguo is not only chaotic or chaotic, and corpses are everywhere.
After King Ning arrived in Saibei, after knowing that this was the result, the whole person was ten years old, even if he made detailed arrangements, but the final result was that Ning Guo paid a bloody lesson.
Fang Lao also looked like a vicissitudes of life, he no longer had the calm appearance before, the impact of this far exceeded his imagination, and the battle on the road was beyond his prediction, if he hadn't entered the realm of the grandmaster, he and King Ning might have died halfway through, but fortunately, he had finally arrived in Saibei now.
On both sides of King Ning stood Hu Yong and Jiang Tian, King Ning asked in a weak voice: "Two Aiqing, the country of Ning is broken by myself, but the Ning people are still there, as long as the Ning people are still there, then we are not the people who have died in the country, and the country is broken, then the future can be expected, and now the future of Ning is in the hands of the two of you, I hope you two will not let me down, don't let these 100,000 people down, and don't let down the people who have gone away." β
Hu Yongjiangtian knelt on one knee, "Obey the order, and you will not disgrace your mission." β
"Get up, Jiang Tian, do you know why you are still alive until now?" asked King Ning.
When Jiang Tian heard this, he smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and said: "Because Your Majesty wants to achieve that grand goal, there is already a fierce general like General Hu, who is the first to take the lead, of course, you also need people to do some villain things, and I am precisely the gentleman of the smallest person, Your Majesty thinks that I have the talent of a gentleman, and the heart of a villain, and the ruthlessness of a reckless man, such a person is helpful to Your Majesty's future, in the final analysis, it is Your Majesty who found that the last general is still a little useful, and rewarded the last general with a life." β
"Jiang Tian, don't be rude. When Hu Yong heard this, he immediately scolded.
King Ning waved his hand, signaled that it was okay, and continued: "Jiang Tian, you are indeed a very talented and ambitious person, I have always thought that it was a mistake to keep you, because I was afraid that your ambition would kill us all that day, and a small Wu and Ning Liangliang should not be able to satisfy your ambitions, so at that time, I decided to kill you, but Hu Yong actually dared to resist the decree and let you go, and what is even stranger is that you still dare to stay here and not leave." At that time, I felt that I had done something wrong, that is, the lord of my country would want to kill you out of fear. But after that, seeing that you are still here, I figured it out again, it is difficult to face my ambitions calmly, at least I can't do it, I will be afraid, afraid of being ridiculed, afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, afraid that my ability will not be able to support this ambition. It's better for you to sit down here and tell others that I am a very ambitious person, and I want to kill but am reluctant to kill. β
"Then how did Your Majesty figure it out after that?" Jiang Tian asked.
"After that, it was Elder Fang who reminded me and said, the more capable people under Your Majesty's command, that is Your Majesty's blessing. King Ning smiled and looked at Elder Fang.
Fang Lao shook his head and said, "I'll just say it casually, and I can realize that it is King Ning's opportunity." β
"Later, I thought about it carefully, and yes, from ancient to modern, how many dynasties and countries, how many emperors, is every emperor the most talented, impossible, instead of being afraid of these talented courtiers, what should be done is how to meet and control them, since Jiang Tian is very ambitious, I can't control it, and I can't fit it, then I'll give you a bigger dynasty to pretend to be your ambition, I hope you don't let me down. King Ning said.
After Jiang Tian listened, he knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty can say this to Jiang Tian openly and honestly, Your Majesty wants a dynasty to accommodate Jiang Tian's ambitions, then Jiang Tian will inevitably exchange a dynasty for Your Majesty first, to pretend to be Your Majesty's ambitions, I hope that under the stars, it will be Ningtu, so that the world will bend over when they see Ning, and when that time comes, Your Majesty will consider whether it can accommodate my ambitions." β
"I like this, I see Ning bending my waist, the same as my previous ideals, hahahaha. King Ning laughed loudly.
.........
Sword Pavilion.
"Big brother, big brother, where are you?" a teenager shouted as he hurriedly ran.
"I'm here, what's the matter, third brother, so anxious?" a young man with a hat stood up from the ground.
"What time has it been, big brother, are you still fishing here?" the boy complained.
"Don't be arrogant or impatient when you encounter things, how did the eldest brother teach you before, and you forgot it?" said the young man slowly, and lay down again.
"I haven't forgotten, but this time it's really a big deal, something happened to Ning Guo. The boy said anxiously.
"Oh, is it?" the young man still looked lazy.
"In the past two days, when I was studying with a few senior brothers, I overheard them mention the matter of Ning Guo, so I leaned over to hear what they were talking about, and as a result, I heard that King Ning moved the capital and ceded two-thirds of the territory to the Sword Pavilion, do you say this is a big deal?" the young man said in one breath.
When the young man heard this, he got up at once, sat up, and thought about it.
When the young man saw this scene, he was even more anxious, went over, grabbed his brother's arm, shook it, and said, "Big brother, what should I do, will something happen to my father?"
The young man put his fingers to his mouth and made a silent motion.
Seeing this, the young man remembered that whenever his eldest brother was pondering, it was when he was thinking of a way, and every time he could come up with a way, the young man immediately sat aside honestly and did not disturb him.
After a long time, the young man's forehead was sweating, and he exhaled lightly.
"Big brother, how is it, is there any countermeasure?" the boy asked.
The young man wiped his sweat, then touched the young man's head with a smile and said, "This time, the eldest brother may really not be able to think of a way, our father, this is a big game of chess." β
"What do you mean?" the boy asked, puzzled.
"It means that you are still young, and when you are older, you will probably be able to help your father, and now your father doesn't need your help, otherwise he would have sent a message a long time ago. The young man replied.
The young man nodded as if he didn't understand, but shook his head again and said, "But our family is two-thirds less for no reason, and it is given to others for nothing." β
The young man got up from the ground, took the young man's hand, and came to the river, pointing to the fishing rods there, all three of which were shaking slightly.
"Big brother, a fish has been baited. The boy saw this.
The young man shook his head and said, "How can you be sure that a fish has been baited?"
"Because it's moving, it only moves when a fish bites, I know that. The boy said.
"But do you know that big brother and I have always used fish to fish. The youth said.
"Small fish catch big fish?" the boy asked rhetorically.
The young man nodded and continued: "Yes, small fish catch big fish, so don't see the hook moving, you can't help but want to reel in the net, we haven't waited for anything yet, wait." β
The young man asked impatiently, "Big brother, what do you want to say? Didn't you talk about my father's business earlier? This dragged me here to fish again?"
The young man glared at the young man with a look, and the young man suddenly didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only wait here quietly.
Finally, after waiting for a while, the fishing rod finally bent sharply, and the young man smiled: "Here you are, big fish." β
The young man went up and picked up the fishing rod, but he stumbled, and the huge force on the fishing rod almost pulled him into the river, and he managed to stabilize his body.
Laboriously turned around and said, "I'll leave it to you next." β
The young man sighed, his eldest brother has always been in poor health, he only uses his brain and does not use his hands in everything, as long as he needs to do it, he does it himself.
The young man handed the fishing rod to the young man, the young man shook it slightly, and then stabilized his body and began to compete with the fish, his younger brother was too impatient, but the strength was a good hand, and he was exceptionally strong since he was a child, this time, after coming to the Sword Pavilion, it was verified that it was a rare natural sword body in a hundred years, and it belonged to a rare genius, the young man shook his head when he thought of this, and people were more popular than people.
I have been young and sick since I was a child, my health has not been good, I usually pant for breath when I move a little, my only hobby is to read books, play the piano, and fish, but my favorite is to play chess, in the city of King Ning, these two sentences are circulated, King Ning of Qin regards chess as his life, King Ning of Chu regards martial arts as his life, and the two princes are both civil and military, which is a great good talk.
Ning Qi exhausted the big fish after a while, pulled it up, and it was indeed a big fish.
Ning Qi wiped the drops of water on his forehead and said: "Big brother, it's really a big fish, but fishing is really boring, I don't dare to use brute force, for fear of tearing off the fishing line, I must take it so slowly, alas, I'm tired to death." β
Ning Zheng said with a smile: "This is the fun, you are impatient now, everything is so impatient, it's not good." β
Ning Qi said: "Got it, big brother, it's time to preach again." β
"Third brother, what my father did this time, we don't have to interfere now, you just have to practice honestly in the Sword Pavilion, when you reach the Puyu Realm, let's discuss whether you are qualified to help, what my father is doing now, I can't think of any good way to help, my father's vision, my mind is far above me, now he is doing this, there must be a reason to do so, I even think that my father is laying out an overall situation, a full ten years of overall situation, now the only thing we can do is to improve ourselves, especially you, the future god of war of Ning Guo, this is the greatest help to my father." γ β
Ning Qi nodded, this time he seemed to really understand, but said with a smile: "The biggest help to my father should be the eldest brother, I am just dancing with a knife and a gun, eldest brother, you are the real great talent, the future will definitely be the world of the eldest brother, just fighting will not win the world, I still know this, I will definitely protect the eldest brother and father in the future." β
Ning Zheng touched Ning Qi's head and said, "Go back quickly, practice hard." β
Ning Qi nodded, turned around and went back.
After Ning Qi left, Ning Zheng's indifferent expression instantly turned solemn, looked at the river, and muttered: "My father, how much family wealth do you want to fight for? Just in exchange for this stable few years, then how much confidence do you have to believe in this Sword Pavilion, that mine does not belong to us in the first place, how much face do you think a natural sword body can make the Sword Pavilion ally with us, in the end, don't be gnawed to the bones, you are still a little naΓ―ve." Alas, my poor brother, my innocent father, has been suffering me for the past few years, and I will have to sweep my ass in the future, but now I can only fish here every day. β
After talking to himself for a while, Ning Zheng lay on the ground again.
A day later, there was a group of people in the Sword Pavilion who walked with the sword.
After that, the Northern Xiaoyao Pavilion Branch, Zhongzhou Taiyi Sect, Northern Wuge, etc. also got the news, and they each set off towards Ningguo in the north.
