Chapter 55: The Palace Mutiny
In the ruined temple, it was dark and gloomy, and one person turned his back to Shi Ning, sighing: "It's not for the family and country, but for the love of children, alas!"
Shi Ning heard that the voice was his uncle Shi Xiang, and said in surprise: "Uncle, why are you, weren't you still in the Heavenly King's Palace just now?"
Shi Xiang sneered, "Could it be that your little internal cultivation skill can catch up with my light skill?"
Shi Xiang's light skill Shi Ning has seen it, and it is indeed the strongest light skill in the world.
"Uncle, I'm going to save Shu'er, why did you send someone to frame me here?" Shi Ning was puzzled.
"If I hadn't sent Wang Ying to say that Miss Ran was in danger, how could you have come in a hurry!" Shi Xiang said coldly: "I have something important for you to discuss, in the palace, there are many ears and eyes, it is inconvenient to discuss!"
"You still don't kneel!" Shi Xiang said sharply.
I saw that the tablets of the emperors of the Later Zhao Kingdom were on the table of the broken temple, and Shi Ning saw his father Shi Cong in the Bizi tribe to worship every day, so he recognized it.
Hearing only the sound of "plop", Shi Ning knelt in front of the tablet.
"Your Highness, do you know why King Qin Tianwang named you the Duke of Xiangguo?"
"My nephew doesn't know. ”
"Xiangguo County is the capital of the Great Zhao Kingdom, and the ancestors and ancestors established a glorious dynasty in the land of Xiangguo County. Fu Jian, this dog thief, is insulting Zhao Guo! He wants Zhao Guo to become a duke of Qin State, you are the king and the emperor! How can you accept such an insult!"
"Uncle, don't be angry, my nephew didn't accept this so-called Xiangguo Gong, and I don't accept any of the ministers who care about their lives, Qin Jun!"
"No, no, Xiangguo Gong can't accept it, but the commander of the Qin Army, the minister of Gu Order, wants to accept it. After the Great War of Huangshui, Qin's internal strife continued, and the national strength gradually declined. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the army of the Qin State can still dominate in the north, if you command the Qin army, you will be able to recover the Great Zhao State and dominate the world in the future!"
"I don't want to dominate the world, I just want the world to be peaceful... Shi Ning said thoughtfully.
"If you want peace in the world, you must first get the Heavenly Stone! And to get the Heavenly Stone, the hardships in this can be imagined, if there is the help of the Qin army, like a tiger with wings, why worry about not getting the Heavenly Stone?" Shi Xiang interrupted.
As soon as he spoke of the Heavenly Stone, Shi Ning's eyes lit up and he asked, "Then there is really a Muyang Heavenly Stone in the crown of the Qin Heavenly King?"
Shi Xiang talked eloquently: "That Muyang Tianshi is inlaid in the crown of Emperor Taiwu Shi Hu, and after Emperor Taiwu died, the crown was buried in the tomb with him. Back then, the Han traitor Ran Min betrayed the Great Zhao State, slaughtered the Liang people, burned down the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhao State, and destroyed the imperial tomb of my Shi royal family in Xiangguo County. Later, I led my people to restore the tomb of Emperor Taiwu, but I couldn't find the location of the tomb. Later, I heard that a small number of tomb robbers who escaped from the tomb obtained the crown of Emperor Taiwu and dedicated it to the great traitor Ran Min. ”
"There is a reincarnation in heaven, Ran Min's dream of being the emperor was shattered in two years, Qin Tianwang Fu Jian is eloquent, unified the north, according to legend, the crown of Emperor Taiwu went to the hands of Qin Tianwang, Qin Tianwang ordered skilled craftsmen to rebuild a crown, and since then it has become his crown. ”
Shi Ning was puzzled: "Then Fu Jian has obtained the crown inlaid with the Muyang Heavenly Stone, why don't you refine the Heavenly Stone in it?"
"Fu Jian hasn't been able to collect all the five Heavenly Stones, and it's useless to refine them, so it's better to continue to let the Muyang Heavenly Stone be inlaid in the crown and wear it on his head every day. ”
"I heard in the Southern Jin Kingdom that Taiwu Emperor Shi Hu had collected five Heavenly Stones, so why didn't he get the Flat Heaven Secret in the Heavenly Stones?"
"Emperor Taiwu believed in Buddhism all his life, and invited many Buddhist masters, but they failed to understand the secrets in the Heavenly Stone, which needs to be left to us, the descendants of the Shi family, to understand. ”
Shi Ning suddenly said: "Emperor Taiwu believes in Buddhism, and Tianshi is a sacred relic of Taoism, is it related to this? . . . ”
"Perhaps, His Highness has many Taoist sects in contact with in the south, and there will definitely be a way to penetrate the secrets of the Heavenly Stone in the future. However, the most important thing is to collect all the Heavenly Stones first!"
The Wumadhi Heavenly Stones scattered all over the world already have two Water Spirit Stone and Flaminite in Shi Ning's body. That night, Shi Ning took Shi Xiang and other Taiwutang masters into the Liangzhou Heavenly King Palace again.
Qin Tianwang Fu Jian was not happy for Shi Ning to say goodbye, seeing Shi Ning return to the palace, he was very happy, Fu Jian drank a decoction after eating, his body was still weak, but he could whisper.
Leaning on the side of the dragon's bed, I only heard Fu Jian whisper: "I ...... He has confessed benevolence and righteousness all his life, and has never ...... No indiscriminate killing of innocents, no ...... I have never been arrogant and lascivious...... Lifetime...... A lifetime of diligence ......"
Shi Ning held Fu Jian's hand tightly and said: "The king of heaven has been a horse all his life, he is eloquent and strategic, and after the unification of the north, he vigorously develops production, and the people support him, he is a good king!"
Fu Jian said weakly: "You...... You are similar to me...... There are so many places, and they are too kind...... Righteousness, if you want to become an overlord in troubled times, you must be ruthless, but the prince is brutal and brutal...... It didn't end well...... You have to help him to become a ...... Mingjun!"
Shi Ning hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Shi Ning has no great talent, so he can't assist Prince Qin and ask the Heavenly King to choose another virtuous one!"
Fu Jian said sadly: "You..... After all, you refuse to help me Daqin, and you will ...... I don't blame you for the battle, you are just ...... on the battlefield It's just that the soldiers who repelled me didn't kill Qin....... Qin Bing, I hope you will treat Qin Bing well in the future!"
"Shi Ning has regretted the battle of Weishui, the king of heaven can rest assured, Shi Ning will never hurt any Qin soldiers loyal to Qin in this life!" "In the battle of Weishui, although Shi Ning did not kill the former Qin soldiers, but those former Qin soldiers who were injured by him were finally killed by the Eastern Jin Dynasty soldiers, from another point of view, it was Shi Ning who indirectly killed those former Qin soldiers who died on the battlefield of Weishui.
The maid brought the tea and slowly fed Fu Jian to drink, Fu Jian was difficult to swallow, the tea kept flowing out of his mouth, the tea stained his gray beard red, and there were two residual tears in the corners of his eyes, which were the tears of the male lord's fall......
Fu Jian's crown was placed next to the dragon bed, Shi Ning was curious, and looked at the crown carefully, but he didn't see any clues.
Fu Jian slowly turned his head sideways, thought for a long time, and then said slowly: "If you like it...... This crown ...... Only...... I'll just reward you!" Although Fu Jian is dying, his mind is still clear, if one crown can be exchanged for Shi Ning's help to Qianqin, Fu Jian would rather give ten crowns!
As soon as these words came out, everyone knelt down and persuaded: "Heavenly King, the crown is a symbol of imperial power, how can you give it away at will, and ask the Heavenly King to take back his fate!"
Shi Ning resolutely refused: "Heavenly King, Shi Ning has nothing to think about!"
Seeing that Shi Ning not only refused the trust of King Qin, but also did not want the crown, Shi Xiang on the side rubbed his hands, but he was helpless.
Outside the palace of the Heavenly King of Liangzhou, the sound of blade friction is approaching. It turned out that Yao Chang, the former general of Liangzhou of Qin, saw that Fu Jian, the king of Qin, had been defeated, so he led the Liangzhou soldiers of his headquarters to surround the palace of the king of heaven and forced Fu Jian to hand over his military power.
Yao Chang had already arranged a knife and axe hand in the palace, and the guards around Fu Jian could not resist the sudden ambush, and most of them died under the knife.
Thanks to the Taiwutang Tiger Guard, as a result, the sword and axe hand who was ambushed in the palace failed to rush in with the outside.
Fu Jian was so angry that he rolled down from the dragon bed, used his last strength, and said tremblingly: "Who.... Kill Yao Chang, a traitor, for me, and seal ...... Marshal of the Unified Army, Reward ...... Crown!"
After saying that, he died of exhaustion.
Yao Chang's Liangzhou soldiers rushed to the palace, and when they saw the former Qin soldiers, they slashed and killed, and they were miserable, Shi Ning hated rebellious and indiscriminate people in his life, so he vowed to kill Yao Chang for Qin Tianwang Fu Jian.
Shi Ning pulled out the Liangyi sword, and used the Shangqing seven-style swordsmanship, "Woo Woo" knocked down the weapons of the Liangzhou soldiers in a few strokes, and then stepped back to use the wild goose palm, and the Liangzhou soldiers fell to the ground layer by layer under the powerful skill, until they lost their combat effectiveness.
Shi Xiang got up and jumped, drew his sword behind his back and drew a half-arc in the air, and the half-arc crossed, and the Liangzhou soldiers were killed and wounded.
Shi Ning hurriedly stopped: "Uncle, these Liangzhou soldiers are also confused by Yao Chang, just arrest Yao Chang, don't hurt the innocent!"
"There are too many Liangzhou soldiers and rebels, even if Your Highness, you and I can't fight back when our internal strength is exhausted, we are already trapped in the tiger's mouth, if we don't kill them, it will be difficult for us to escape!"
Shi Xiang ordered the eighteenth cavalry Hu Yanbao to lead the scimitar knights to meet the charging Liangzhou soldiers, and ordered the seventeen lance knights of Liu Bao to follow Huyanbao to assist, and cooperate with the strategy to kill the Liangzhou soldiers;
The fourteenth cavalry Wang Ying led the lightly armed knights to break through the small mouth of the Liangzhou soldiers, and went away to report to the other tiger guards in Taiwutang.
The thirteen cavalry Lu Xiong led the heavily armed knights to break through and smashed the Yellow Dragon, severely damaging Yao Chang's Chinese army, and Yao Chang's Liangzhou soldiers did not dare to attack on a large scale.
At this time, under the cover of Shi Xiang and Lu Xiong, Shi Ning used the Three Emperors Qi Sword to repel the Liangzhou soldiers, and then used the three methods of internal cultivation, and quickly rushed to Yao Chang's Chinese army.
Yao Chang ordered the withdrawal of the army, the Liangzhou soldiers turned against and retreated, and Shi Ning couldn't bear to kill the defeated Liangzhou soldiers, so Yao Chang was able to escape in a panic.
