"Unforgettable...... Unforgettable......" Ning Qianxue muttered these four words, not feeling stupid. [Full text reading] (first release)
As time went by, the relationship between her and Song Li became deeper and deeper, in fact, after breaking through two levels in one fell swoop last time, she had already comprehended a lot of the true meaning of forgetting the true scriptures, according to the original plan, she should return to her Qinglian Peak to continue her cultivation and leave Song Li. But she found that she was very reluctant, and when she thought of leaving Song Li, her heart hurt like a knife.
Song Li's shadow didn't know when it would enter her heart, and it became clearer and clearer, no matter what method she used, she couldn't get out.
For King Zhanlong of Jingnan, today is not a day to be happy about.
Just as the Holy Emperor has been sending additional spies to the Southern State, he has also been increasing the number of intelligence personnel to the Imperial Capital.
They were once allies who fought side by side, and after the final victory in the struggle, they each embarked on the road to the pinnacle of life. One became the Holy Emperor of the Great Empire, and the other became the second military general to be crowned a general since the founding of the country.
Although he was not the first to open the world, the war dragon was convinced of this, because the first general of the founding of the country, Wang Wang, was the idol of all soldiers, and his immortal feats have been surpassed by the Holy Lion once in the past.
With a hereditary prince and his own fiefdom, Zhan Long's ambitions have gradually swelled since he came to the beautiful and rich place of the three southern counties, with 500,000 elite soldiers.
In the beginning, the Holy Emperor was too busy consolidating his throne and entangled with the remnants of the court, so he had no time to take care of him, the vassal king of the south. This is not to say that the Holy Emperor trusts him much, but because his opponents in the court are too powerful to be able to do anything. can only let the war dragon silently develop his own power.
As the wings became fuller, the war dragon paid more and more attention to the control of the three southern counties, and he used all kinds of means to obstruct the imperial court's jurisdiction over the three southern counties, first starting with the reduction of taxes, and then extending to the right of personnel appointment and dismissal.
Zhan Long was very happy to be the emperor of the soil in this rich and abundant place in the south, and frankly speaking, he had no intention of rebelling, after all, he had a bad reputation for committing rebellion, and rebellion was also a very risky technical job. If you are not careful, you may lose all your net worth and life.
In the past, when he was young, he was not afraid of danger, and when the two armies faced each other, he always charged ahead. But now that he was fifty years old, although on the surface he was still the same as before, he could drink eight large bowls of liquor and eat a whole sheep in one meal, and the record of being a maid in one night still remained at more than seven. Others say that he is undiminished and his tiger power is still there, but he knows in his heart that he is indeed old.
He is used to living a comfortable life, and now if he is allowed to carry his sword and gun and lead thousands of troops and horses to fight the enemy on the battlefield, he doesn't know if he still has the courage.
His mind is very simple, that is, to turn the three southern counties into his warriors' own land, and then inherit them from generation to generation. The court should not come to disturb him, and he will never go to the court for trouble. In the power collision with the Holy Emperor, he revealed such information to his old friend and old opponent several times, that is, everyone's well water does not interfere with river water, you pass yours, and I pass mine.
Since you have given me these three southern counties, don't think about taking them back. This is also the reward I deserved for supporting you to ascend the throne back then. You don't have to worry about me rebelling, as long as you don't think about taking my power, my army of 500,000 will never reach the Holy Lion City.
He thought he had said it obvious enough, but the Holy Emperor wouldn't buy it at all.
In fact, the war dragon can also understand the Holy Emperor's thoughts, the Holy Lion Empire has a total of nine counties, and now the imperial court has actually lost control of the three southern counties, which is equivalent to only six counties left. Due to their geographical location and the fact that the three southern counties are close to the sea and ports, the economy is very developed, and the residents are rich, and the loss of tax revenue from these three counties is a huge blow to the empire's finances.
Money is still secondary, and the key is that for a unified centralized country like the Holy Lion Empire, the behavior of Zhan Long's self-respect and territorial allocation is absolutely intolerable to the emperor of a country.
Ever since the Holy Emperor reused King Ming and Prince Zhong's momentum was suppressed, the Holy Emperor had enough time and energy to deal with the War Dragon. During this time, General Zhan could clearly feel that the Holy Emperor was paying more attention to the three southern counties than before.
The first is that more intelligence officers have been sent, and the second is that he has been constantly urging him to return to the imperial capital for various reasons. War Dragon understands that this is the Holy Emperor sending a strong signal to him: Old man, I have time now, and I have to deal with you well.
Especially this time, it has not been long since the 60th birthday of the Holy Empress Dowager, and the Holy Emperor has already sent someone to send an edict inviting him to enter the palace to congratulate the Holy Empress Dowager on her birthday.
It stands to reason that the Queen Mother's 60th birthday banquet was a great celebration for the whole world, and no one dared to be absent from this occasion for important officials of the empire. Of course, those petty officials who can't get on the stage, you don't bother to pay attention to the Holy Emperor if you go or not, but if he personally declares an edict to invite you, and you still don't go, then you can't say anything anyway.
Last time, he refused the Holy Emperor's invitation on the grounds that a small country on the frontier was stationing troops on the demarcation line and that war was very likely. But this time, the Holy Emperor ruthlessly exposed him. Moreover, he showed him the map of the distribution of troops in that small border country, of course, there was no such thing as stationing troops on the border.
These spies sent by the Holy Emperor had already made it clear the detailed movements of the surrounding countries bordering the three southern counties, and the excuses that the war dragon had tried and tested before had completely lost their effectiveness.
Zhan Long felt that the Holy Emperor was starting to move seriously, and Prince Zhong saw that there was a situation that the building was about to collapse, so the old guy Song Xingtian could finally free up his hands to deal with him.
The Holy Emperor sent Song Li, the governor of the nine counties, to envoy Nanzhou, and Zhan Long did not know. The spies he sent to the imperial capital were not omnipotent, and those intelligence officers were powerless to do anything about such a rather confidential matter.
It's just that, after all, Nanzhou City is the base camp of King Jingnan, the core hinterland, and his eyes and ears are all over every corner of the city. Song Li swaggered through the market so highly, if King Jingnan hadn't gotten the news until now, then he wouldn't be worthy of his current position.
Soon after Song Li entered the city in a carriage, a spy reported the details to King Jingnan. Although Zhan Long had never seen this Imperial Chief Qincha, but after seeing his portrait before, the spies described it slightly, coupled with his unique Golden Fire Qilin luxury car, Zhan Long immediately guessed Song Li's identity.
In the past, the Holy Emperor had also sent Qincha to the three southern counties, and these Qincha would all choose to visit him as a landlord first, and then go to the post house to stay. However, Song Li's mission was different, and the first choice was not to visit the king of Jingnan, but to go to the house of Chen Yaozu in Luoluo County. This already reveals a very obvious message.
Song Li should have been sent by the Holy Emperor to deal with him, there is no doubt about it.
It's just that although his intelligence system is developed, after all, there is still a certain lag in the timeliness, and later Song Li punished Wang Chengde and killed the news that Wang Qin was beaten in the county guard's mansion, and when someone reported it, Wang Qin also carried his son to the Jingnan Palace.
"Lord Wang, you have to be the master of the humble position. Wang Qin helped his son into the living room of the palace, one of them was covered with gauze and bloodstained, and the other had a swollen face like a pig's head, and King Jingnan almost didn't recognize that this was his cousin.
When Wang Chengde saw King Jingnan, he couldn't say anything, his mouth was open and he howled, and tears were pouring down...... I finally saw someone who could support him......
Zhan Long was taken aback by the tragic situation of Wang Qin's father and son, he had just heard a report that Song Li punished Wang Chengde in front of many people in Nanzhou, and also killed the county guard, before he could ask about the specific situation, the two of them appeared.
Well, there's no need to ask, the real situation is right in front of you. King Jingnan waved his hand to let the spy go down, and then ordered his subordinates to make tea for Wang Qin's father and son, and he asked with concern, "What's the matter? Why is it hurt like this?"
Wang Chengde cried breathlessly, and he couldn't answer the prince's question. This kid is pampered at home, he has never suffered any setbacks, relying on the power of his father and King Jingnan to be lawless in Nanzhou City, and no one has ever dared to say a word, so he has developed an arrogant and domineering temperament.
In fact, his temperament is used to by the relatives around him, and he is not really afraid of heaven and earth. was ruthlessly cleaned up by Song Li this time, and he was really a little frightened. The pustule is unmistakable.
Wang Qin hurriedly took over the prince's words and told the ins and outs of the matter, without any exaggeration, nor did he deliberately hide anything. Because King Jingnan attaches great importance to intelligence, he is very clear about the situation in Nanzhou, and even if Wang Qin wants to say something beneficial to his son, it is easy to be exposed. (http://.)。 Let's just tell the truth.
Three days ago, how did Wang Chengde fall in love with Miss Chen at the temple fair, and stepped forward to flirt, but people didn't obey, and then Wang Chengde wanted to use force on the street, and Miss Chen's maid Chunxiang was killed on the spot by Wang Chengde in order to protect the lord.
Then Wang Chengde went to Chen's house to forcibly hire him, and agreed to go to meet his relatives today. Then when I went to greet my relatives today, I happened to meet Song Li, the governor of the nine counties, who came to Chen's mansion, and the minister of the Qin mission was furious, and rewarded Wang Chengde with rattan on the spot, and extorted a large amount of money from him.
Then he followed to the door and collected debts from Wang Qin. During this period, Wang Qin wanted to subdue Song Li, but he didn't expect that the two young men were so powerful that they would actually cripple the archers he had carefully cultivated and the strong men of the Bigu period who had been hired with a lot of money in one face.
Wang Qin had no choice but to give in and promise to repay the debt, but with a few days of grace. Song Li agreed, and after he left, the father and son briefly treated the wounds, and then hurried to the Jingnan Mansion for help. This and so and so
