Chapter 144: Tang Yun breaks down! Zhang Ye falls ill!
Translator: 549690339
After the proud Tang Yun participated in the literary battle, he returned to his room and picked up a book to read with great interest.
Fifteen minutes had passed, and he was still reading the same page.
An hour had passed, and he was still reading this page.
An hour and a half had passed, and he was still reading the same page.
What was he doing?
He was reminiscing and fantasizing.
It took him an hour to reflect on his policy paper and poem.
Then, he fantasized about how stunning his poems would be when ning Qi and Marquis suo Xuan read them.
In the end, when he fantasized about announcing the results and everyone was fighting to flatter him, it took him another hour to read his poems and articles.
He fantasized while waiting.
He was waiting for the good news.
Although he was not interested in defeating Jin mucong, who would not want to win?
The most important thing was that he had turned the tables and saved the fate of the clan.
Tang Yan almost lost his family’s future, but he, Tang Yun, turned the tide.
As he waited, he couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.
Why isn’t there any news yet?
Although there’s no doubt that I’ll win, and I didn’t go to the venue, I still care about the result.
How could you not inform me at the first moment?
At this moment, a servant rushed in.
“Prince, Prince Zhenzhen”
Tang Yun picked up the book in his hand and finally turned a page. He said lightly, ” “What is it called? It’s just a literary battle, what’s there to be happy about defeating trash like Jin mucong?”
After the servant rushed in, he trembled and said, ” “Prince, you’ve lost.”
Tang Yun was stunned and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Are you crazy? You’re joking with me?
“Your Highness, it’s true. You’ve lost,” the servant said.
“I lost to Jin mucong?” Tang Yun asked. This is absurd, the greatest absurdity in the world.”
The servant said, ” it’s true, Your Highness. The scene has exploded. You should go and take a look.
Tang Yun suddenly stood up and walked outside.
It was still pouring outside.
.....................
By the time Tang Yun arrived outside the school in Nujiang hunting ground, it was already empty.
Because ning Qi’s Royal uncle had just flipped out, the mighty Duke’s frown was enough to make people’s souls fly out of their bodies.
These people scattered like birds and beasts to find their backbone, Lord Zhang Ji.
Now that ning Qi’s Royal uncle had publicly announced the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu’s victory, it was almost impossible to change the result.
Now, it was up to Lord Zhang Ji to see if he had any way to turn the tide.
Tang Yun stood quietly by the wall.
Although it was already night time, there were still wind lanterns hanging on the walls.
Even though the rain was heavy, the Academy’s outer walls had very wide eaves. Even though the articles posted outside were slightly wet, they could still be seen clearly.
Tang Yun rushed to his answer sheet immediately.
He, who was full of conspiracy theories, immediately thought, could it be that someone had switched his test papers, or deliberately sabotaged it?
He was thinking too much.
His essay and poem were complete and not a single word was left out.
Then, he quickly read Jin mucong’s policy papers and poems.
He first looked through it hastily.
Then, his heart suddenly jerked.
After all, he was a flower-picking man with real talent and knowledge.
Putting aside his prejudice, he could tell at a glance that Jin mucong’s policy was brilliant.
The idea was much more far-reaching.
It was unlike Tang Yun’s policy paper, which seemed flamboyant and sharp, but was actually a little weak.
In some places, it was even far-fetched.
On one hand, he liked to use fancy words, and on the other hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to flatter the monarch.
Therefore, in terms of policy paper alone, the two articles were more than a level apart.
Tang Yun’s policy papers were fine if they were listed separately, but when the two were placed together, they were vulgar and dull.
Then, he looked at the poem on Jin mucong’s paper.
In a short moment, he had finished reading the dozens of words.
However, it was deafening.
Even when he was reciting this song in his heart, it was as if he could still recall it by his ears.
It was really well written!
Compared to his, Tang Yun’s, flowery words, it was incomparable.
Instant kill!
A true instant kill!
He had lost!
He had really lost.
It wasn’t an illusion, he really lost the Wen battle.
Not only that, but the entire Tang Clan had also lost the battle for the gold Mountain Island.
However, Tang Yun could not empathize with the loss of the battle for the Jinshan Island.
There was only one thing he was concerned about.
He had actually lost to Jin mucong, the useless person.
Next, this matter would spread throughout the entire Yue country.
He would become a laughingstock.
He used to be a beautiful young man, so how brilliant he was, how ridiculous he would be in the future.
Jin mucong!
Fat otaku!
Trash!
You, the Grand Tan Hua lang, actually lost to him?
How humiliating would that be?
Tang Yun’s body was cold, and the umbrella in his hand had already fallen.
The cold rain of ice was randomly patting his face.
No, this was not written by Jin mucong. It was definitely not Jin mucong.
It was definitely Shen lang!
That’s right, it must be Shen lang!
“Ah!!!!!!!!”
Shen lang, you and I are irreconcilable. I will definitely dismember you into a thousand pieces, dismember you into a thousand pieces!
Tang Yun roared madly, filled with endless unwillingness and pain.
........................
Shen lang did not wait for the results. He was also reading.
thirteen Scriptures of the heavenly Dragon ”
There were also drawings. Even though they were not as good as his, it was better than nothing.
However, he was also acting cool.
Fifteen minutes passed, and he stared at this page without turning it over.
An hour had passed, but he still hadn’t finished this page.
An hour and a half had passed, but he still hadn’t finished the night.
At this moment, frantic footsteps could be heard from outside, as if a pig was running.
It was obvious that he was Jin mucong.
“Brother-in-law, I won, I won!”
“I crushed Tang Yun, hahahahaha!”
Jin mucong rushed in.
Shen lang said calmly,”what’s the hurry?” What’s there to be excited about?”
For some reason, this scene seemed a little familiar.
Jin mucong said,”brother-in-law, you’re playing with me again.” The two questions in today’s Wen Zhan exam were not the two you gave me last night. The topic of strategy was about the loyalty and honesty of punishment, and the topic of the poem was black Tortoise. When I saw these two questions, I was so scared that I almost peed my pants.”
“What?” Shen lang trembled, and the book in his hand almost fell.
“What’s the matter, brother-in-law?” Jin mucong asked.
“What do you think is today’s topic?” Shen lang asked.
“The theme of the policy is about the loyalty and honesty of punishment, and the theme of the poem is the Black Tortoise,” Jin mucong said.
Shen lang almost peed his pants.
How did this happen?
I clearly saw it with my x-ray vision yesterday. It was the other two questions.
Why did he change his mind at the last minute?
Shen Lang’s brain worked quickly.
Then, he immediately understood.
Yesterday, he had revealed a flaw again.
During the battle, Mulan was very careful and did not go all out, which was very abnormal.
If it was related to the fate of her family, Mulan would definitely risk her life to fight, or even die together.
Why didn’t she do that?
Because he was confident in his victory in the Wen battle.
Zhang Ji must have found this flaw, and then he found a way to get ning Qi to change the topic.
Whether it was the imperial examination or the literary competition, there would always be spare questions.
Shen lang could not help but feel a chill down his spine.
Zhang Ye, are you a human or a ghost?
It’s actually so awesome?
In the second military battle, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu would have won without a doubt. It was Zhang Ji who noticed that something was wrong and made a prompt decision to let Earl Jin hai borrow Masters from a few families, which led to a draw.
For the third round, Zhang Yan actually asked ning Qi to change the questions.
Just a little bit more and Zhang Ye would have turned the tables.
The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu had almost lost.
Shen lang had won the last battle because of his ability and luck.
Even the heavens were helping him.
Of course, Shen lang was able to guess the question because he was well-prepared.
It was really a case of a flower that was deliberately planted but not blossomed, but a willow tree that was planted unintentionally grew into shade.
One should never underestimate the heroes of the world.
Jin mucong saw Shen lang in a daze and said, ” “Brother-in-law, what’s wrong?”
“Oh, nothing much?” Shen lang laughed and said,”of course I’m just toying with you. Hahaha!”
For some reason, Jin mucong felt that his brother-in-law’s smile was a little creepy.
Shen lang was smiling, but his heart was in his throat again.
He couldn’t let his guard down. The victory of the battle of the gold Mountain Island was only the beginning.
What came next was the climax and the main show.
“Fatty, didn’t you want to slap Tang Yun in the face? Why did you come back so quickly?” Shen lang said.
“I wanted to tell you the good news as soon as possible,” Jin mucong said.
Shen lang continued, ” you have already told me. Now, you can go and slap Tang Yun’s face. Slap him ruthlessly. Go!
I ... I don’t dare to, ” Jin mucong said weakly. I’m afraid I can’t beat him.
Coward!
..............................
Zhang Ji had been kneeling in the courtyard of the castle at the top of the mountain.
The heavy rain had been pouring for several hours.
His skinny body kneeled straight, not moving.
When the raindrops hit his body, it was as if they were hitting rocks.
Zhang Jin and Zhang Chunhua couldn’t persuade their father, so they knelt down beside him.
“Zhang Pu can kneel, but Chun Hua, you can go back.”
no, I’ll kneel with my father. I’m also a member of the Zhang family. How can I enjoy my father’s suffering? ” Zhang Chunhua said.
Zhang Ye said,”you’re a girl and you’re not wearing thick clothes. If you get drenched by the rain, what would you do?”
That’s right!
The dress stuck to her body, revealing all the curves of her body. Moreover, the silk was very transparent.
Zhang Chunhua left.
A moment later, she returned, wearing a straw rain cape. Then, she knelt on the right side of her father.
The three members of the Zhang family knelt there, begging for uncle Wang’s forgiveness.
Zhang Ye felt gratified.
Although his son and daughter had this and that problem, at least they were filial and United.
Unity was the most important thing in a family.
Not long after dark, uncle ning Qi, mighty Gong bianxiao, and Marquis suo Xuan all came.
Seeing the Zhang family of three kneeling neatly in the courtyard, uncle Wang Ning Qi’s eyes trembled.
Zhang Chunhua, who was a girl, was also kneeling.
It was the end of autumn, and the rain was very cold. It was really uncomfortable to kneel for a few hours in such a heavy rain.
“Zhang Nujiang, get up and go back. I’m not angry anymore,” uncle Wang, Ning Qi, said.
Zhang Ye said,”I’m not kneeling here to appease your anger, but because I’ve made a mistake and should be punished.””
Uncle Wang, Ning Qi, said,”Zhang Ji, your guess is right.” Shen lang might have known the questions in advance. You really did have a plan.”
Zhang Ye heaved a sigh of relief.
Uncle Wang, Ning Qi, said, ” however, Xuanji’s plan is not as good as God’s plan. Our backup question was still chosen by him. Jin mucong won. The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu won two out of three battles. They won!
Zhang Ji felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
His skinny face twitched.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out. His vision went black, and his head crashed to the ground.
“Father, father, Zhenzhen”
Zhang Jin and Zhang Chunhua went forward and helped their father up.
Uncle Wang, Ning Qi, couldn’t bear it and said,”hurry up and help your father into the castle. Have a sip of the hot ginger soup. Hurry, hurry up and help him.”
But soon, Zhang Ji woke up on his own, his lips purple.
He pushed Zhang Jin and Zhang Chunhua away and bowed to uncle Wang and ning Qi. “Thank you for telling me, uncle Wang. I understand.”
In just a few moments, he had regained his silence.
Then, he continued to kneel there without moving.
Uncle ning Qi and the mighty Duke Bian Xiao’s expressions changed completely.
How could there be such a determined person in the world?
After suffering such a blow, he recovered in an instant and was filled with fighting spirit again?
“Lord Zhang Ji, please don’t kneel!” Uncle Wang Ning Qi shouted. The person in the wrong isn’t you, it’s me!”
“Someone, carry Lord Zhang back to rest and find the best doctor to treat him.”
“Yes!”
A few Warriors stepped forward and forcefully carried Zhang Ji back to his room.
............
Even though it was raining heavily, the entire estate of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was still filled with joy.
The Warriors who were not on duty picked up the wine and drank to their heart’s content.
He didn’t expect to win all of them.
From then on, Gold Mountain Island would belong to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
Everyone felt that they would definitely lose.
He didn’t expect that not only did he win, but it was also Prince Jin mucong who turned the tide.
This world was really too interesting.
In the study room of uncle Black Tortoise, a secret meeting was being held.
There were only four participants.
Uncle Xuanwu, Jin Mulan, Shen lang, and Jin mucong.
Why do you think Jin mucong should participate?
After all, he was the Prince.
Moreover, he had a huge advantage, and that was that he was tight-lipped and would never say things that he should not say.
At that time, he was not even willing to sell out a scumbag like Xu Wenzhao. It could be seen how high the character value of fat otaku was.
Therefore, they weren’t afraid that he would leak the secrets of the meeting.
However, fat otaku didn’t have the slightest excitement of participating in the core meeting. Instead, he was drowsy and his soul had flown out of his body.
“Fatty, what are you doing?” Shen lang asked.
Fat otaku quivered and shook his head. brother-in-law, I’m really bored listening to it. Can I just copy the books here? ”
F * ck, this is really rotten mud that can’t support a wall.
You’re already the one who killed Tang Yun in seconds, but you’re still thinking about writing all the time.
What’s so good about writing?
Can’t you have higher expectations?
“Go, go.” Shen lang waved his hand and said,”do whatever you want.” &Nbsp;
“Hey!” Fat otaku went out in joy.
Uncle Black Tortoise sighed helplessly in his heart.
“AI!”
Following that, his wife, Mulan, could not help but sigh.
......
After Jin mucong left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became serious.
The three-man team’s decision makers are not bad either.
Shen Lang’s expression turned serious as he spoke.
“Father-in-law, wife! The three duels are over, and we’ve won all of them.”
“But the show has only just begun!”
the real climax is coming up next. It’s a life-and-death battle.
however, in the end, we won the first step. We’ve turned from passive to active, and from defense to attack.
the second step is to officially start the strategy on gazing Cliff Island!
we won the battle for the Golden Mountain Island. Perhaps many people are hoping that we will invest an endless stream of strategic resources into this Island.
“However, I will never!”
“After we get back our ownership, we will not develop or station our troops.”
I want to turn Gold Mountain Island into a meat grinder. I hope I can squeeze out all the blood of the enemy.
“Of course, the most important thing now is to take revenge!”
“The clown who danced so well before will be smacked to death this time!”
“Especially Zhu Lanting and Zhu Wenhua! Last time at the banquet, they actually dared to trick me. For the sake of the competition for the Golden Mountain Island, I endured it and let them jump around for a few more days.”
“This time, I’ll definitely destroy his family!”
Shen lang walked to the window and looked at the heavy rain.
It hadn’t stopped since noon.
Heavy rain was supposed to only happen in summer, but it was really deadly to have such a heavy rain at the end of autumn.
The water level of the Nu River must have risen, and the lake must be almost full.
Shen lang said,”father-in-law, if I were the enemy of the Jin family, I would have thought of a vicious plan.” They dug up the dam in the upper reaches of our fief and let the water from the reservoir flow in. They turned our fief into an ocean and drowned countless houses and people, giving us a destructive blow.”
The moment he said that, uncle Black Tortoise’s expression changed and he stood up abruptly.
If Shen Lang’s worry became a reality, the consequences would be unimaginable.
How many people would die then?
All the resources of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu would be invested in disaster relief.
It would consume an astronomical amount of money, manpower, and resources, and the entire rhythm would be disrupted.
Shen lang said,”we brought 800 soldiers with us this time.” There are only 2000 private soldiers left in the house, but that’s not the most important thing. The important thing is that Jin Hui, Jin Zhong, Jin Shiying, Jin Cheng, and Mulan are all here. Only Madam, old master Lin, and Jin jianniang are left in the house. The troops are without a leader.”
Uncle Xuanwu said,”let Mulan, Jin Hui, and Jin Shiying return immediately.”
Shen lang thought for a while and shook his head.
we will announce the results of the battle for the gold Mountain Island tomorrow. The two families will also have to sign a formal contract to transfer the ownership of the gold Mountain Island to our Jin family. Mulan can not return.
And most importantly, passive defense was not enough. He had to take the initiative to attack.
Shen lang opened the map and saw everything clearly.
The Nu River was to the North of Xuanwu city, and it flowed into the sea.
In order to store water and irrigate, a few dams had been built hundreds of years ago on the south side of the Nu River, forming a natural water-storing Lake.
The entire dam was divided into many sections, all built between the valleys, and the natural mountain range was used to store the river water.
When there was a drought, they would release water to irrigate the farmland.
The entire Lake stretched across Nujiang County, Yangwu County.
There were five dams in Nujiang County, and three in Yangwu County.
Above the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, there were three sections of dams. It could be said that it was impossible to guard against them.
The elite main force of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu’s private army was all at the Nu River hunting ground, and it was too late to return.
The only way was to take the initiative to attack!
Shen Lang’s gaze landed on a corner of the map.
“Father-in-law, this should be the mansion of the Lanshan Viscount, right?” Shen lang said.
Uncle Black Tortoise nodded his head.
The entire mansion of Viscount Lanshan was located in a Valley. Although his family’s fief was gone, the manor still existed.
Previously, the Zhu family had built a dam to the North of the manor for their own personal gain, and then attracted the water from the Nu river’s water storage Lake.
Therefore, even during the dry season, the Zhu family’s Manor had a great harvest.
“Are all the manors of The Viscount of Lanshan in this Valley?” Shen lang asked.
“Both,” uncle Black Tortoise nodded.
“Do you have the land and houses of other civilians?” Shen lang asked.
there used to be a few villages, ” uncle Black Tortoise said. but after Zhu Lanting handed over his fief and military power, the king gave all the fields and mountains in this Valley to him as compensation. That’s why Zhu Lanting’s Manor is even bigger than ours. There are tens of thousands of acres of land and plantations, and there are no other villages and towns with civilians.”
“Jin Hui, come in!” Shen lang said.
A moment later, Jin Hui entered.
Shen lang pointed at the map and said, ” use the fastest time to get home. Your name is Ueda thirteen. Oh, no, I mean Shen thirteen. You go and destroy the dam above the manor of the Lanshan Viscount. Let the flood pour into his Castle and Manor and drown everything!”
Everyone’s hair stood on end when they heard this.
This son-in-law was truly ruthless.
Shen lang said, ” ask Shen thirteen to go to the bitter water land in the East. Make a big hole in the dam there and drain most of the water to the bitter water land. That place is already a piece of saline-alkali land. No one is living there.
this is the only way that the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu will be completely safe and will not be flooded.
If the flood water leaked out from another place, the water level would drop, and the fief of the Earl of Xuanwu would not be in danger.
remember, don’t completely destroy the dam of this land of bitter water. Just open a big hole and let the water out.
don’t open the dam to the North of the Lanshan Viscount’s Manor too wide. Make sure that Zhu Lanting’s Manor is destroyed and his Castle is submerged. But don’t let the water flow too violently. Give the people in the valley enough time to escape.
I want to kill Zhu Lanting’s family. Try not to drag the innocent into this.
Jin Hui said, ” son-in-law, these dams are all made of stone. It’s very difficult to open a hole. We’ll need a lot of manpower. I’m afraid it’s too late for us to lead the Army over. It’ll take a long time to dig. The dam to the North of the Zhu Lanting Manor must be guarded, so it’s hard to succeed.”
“Do you still remember my underground secret Room No. 3?” Shen lang asked.
Jin Hui knew that Shen lang had many strange items that were kept in the secret underground room outside the castle.
go to Xiao Bing and ask for the key. Then, go to the third underground secret room and take out the box inside. As long as you open a small hole in the dam, put the box in, ignite the fuse, and then you will leave immediately.
next, a hole will be blown up in the dam.
remember, don’t open the box and see what’s inside, and don’t let anyone see it.
“When you blow up the dam, you have to create the illusion that it’s a natural collapse. The things in the box can’t be revealed to the world now, or else there will be a disaster.”
also, detain Tian thirteen’s parents. Don’t take a single step out of the castle.
“Go do your work!”
“Yes!” Jin Hui bowed.
Then, he braved the rain and left the Nujiang hunting ground. He rode his horse back to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu to carry out Shen Lang’s orders.
..................
Zhang Ye fell sick.
Jin Hai Bo and the others went to see him, but they were blocked by Zhang Jin.
Lord Zhang Ye, Shen lang must have cheated in the Wen battle. We can’t just let it go like this.
you have to think of a way to save the situation. Tomorrow morning, ning Qi will announce the final result of the battle for the Jinshan Island.
once the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu is announced to be the winner, they will have to sign the contract to transfer the ownership of the gold Mountain Island.
“When that time comes, it will be too late.”
After a while, Zhang San asked Zhang Chunhua to come out and pass on a message.
“We’ve lost this game. Don’t linger and immediately enter the next game. Don’t act rashly. Wait until I’ve thought it through, then we’ll make our next move.”
Zhang Chunhua repeated twice and told Jin Haibo and the others not to act rashly. Otherwise, Shen lang would have an opportunity.
After that, Zhang Jin drove Jin Haibo and the others out, so that his father could rest in peace.
..................
After returning to the base.
Count of Jin hai, Tang Lun, and the others were furious.
“Hmph, this Zhang Ben is only putting on a show!”
“It was quite powerful before, but it’s not useful at the critical moment.”
“Didn’t he say that we shouldn’t act rashly? are we waiting for Shen lang to put a knife to our necks? He’s only a Governor, what right does he have to order us nobles around?”
“Right, right! We can’t wait, we must act, we must take revenge!”
At this moment, The Viscount of Lanshan, Zhu Lanting, said, ” I have a vicious plan that can destroy the entire Palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
“What evil plan?” the crowd was shocked.
“It’s raining heavily now, so it’s only normal for the dam to collapse,” Zhu Lanting said. If the dam to the North of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu were to collapse, the flood would flood into the Jin family’s Manor and his fief.”
by then, the Jin clan’s countless fertile fields, towns, and castles will be flooded, and countless people will die or be injured.
what kind of destructive blow would that be to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu? ”
