Chapter 639
639 Start: massacre! Save Xu Qianqian!
Shen lang could not help but recall the conversation he had with Shen Ye and Jin Jun before he left the Yan capital.
Back then, Shen lang asked Shen Ye who he was.
Shen Ye replied, ” I’m the Crown Prince of the great Qian Empire and the heir of the Jiang family.
Shen lang asked again, ” Who are you? ”
Shen Ye replied, ” I’m the son of my father and mother.
Shen lang wanted him to remember that he was first the son of his parents, Shen Ye. Then, he was the Crown Prince of the great Qian Empire and the heir of the Jiang family. Shen Ye had expressed his approval that day.
After that, Shen lang had a conversation with Jin Jun and told him to stay in the center of the great Qian Empire no matter what. He had to endure the humiliation and stay in the center of the Empire no matter what.
Now that 29 years had passed, Jinjun was already in her sixties and Shen Ye was already in his forties.
How are they?
Of course, the Energy and Environment of this world had changed greatly. Age no longer had much meaning.
This was because in the Empire’s historical records, one of Emperor Jiang Lang’s great contributions was to increase the human lifespan from 100 years to 200 years.
Therefore, when Jin Jun was in her sixties, she belonged to the prime of her life, while Shen Ye was a young man.
There were three other important people.
Jin Mulan, a woman from the Bai capital, and Adolf.
When Shen lang went to white jade City at the North Pole, the messenger from white jade City asked Shen lang if he wanted to see Jin Mulan first.
She was his wife, and they had not seen each other for more than a year. However, Shen lang had rejected her.
Shen lang knew that Mulan was no longer in the White capital.
Why?
Shen Lang’s mother, the Empress of white jade City, was mentally prepared for Jiang Li’s comeback. How could she let Mulan stay in white jade City? Even Adolf had been secretly sent away.
According to this speculation, Mulan shouldn’t be in the capital city. Then, where did the Empress Jin Mulan in the history of the Empire come from?
There was still one more thing?
What was the relationship between snail ancestor and Jiang Li? What was her identity?
The other key location was the ancient prison.
This ancient prison once gave Shen lang a lot of doubts and deception.
His first prisoner, who was also the lowest-ranking prisoner, was Prince Jiang Xie. He was the greatest traitor of the entire Eastern Empire, causing the Jiang family to lose the throne.
However, the so-called betrayal of the ancient Eastern Empire by Jiang Xie was a complete conspiracy. All of this was to steal Queen Medusa’s powerful strength to avoid the ancient great Nirvana and to make the ancient civilization come back.
Therefore, the Jiang Xie in the ancient prison was obviously a fake. He was just a substitute. In fact, the ancient prison had been built according to his design.
But here came the problem.
Jiang Xie’s betrayal of the ancient Eastern Empire was a conspiracy. Did the ancient Ji family know about this? Did the ancient Jiang clan know about it?
If they all knew, this would be the highest level secret of the entire ancient Empire’s royal family. If they didn’t know, did that mean that Jiang Xie had been the mastermind behind the entire scheme?
This was because Jiang Xie, the lowest-ranking prisoner in the ancient prison, was a fake. This made Shen lang suspect the entire ancient prison. Was the entire ancient prison fake? The person in the second cell was the Dark Queen, and she had already disappeared.
Now, Shen lang had to correct this notion. The Prince Jiang Xie in the first cell was fake, but the other cells might not be.
If the Dark Queen who had slaughtered tens of millions of people really existed and had escaped, who was she? Did he show his face?
A series of questions were circling in Shen Lang’s mind.
At this moment, a sound came from outside.
Sir, we are going to take action. We are going to clear the rebellions in the 13th and 19th districts. Do you want to go? ”
“Let’s go,” Shen lang stood up and said.
Then, he walked out.
Not far ahead, Shen lang saw the black water tower castle in the southern Heaven city.
It was really like the Dark Fortress. It was so vast and covered more than two thousand acres.
Layers upon layers of heavy security.
It was hard to imagine that this was only a black water tower castle in the Tian Nan city, but its scale was far larger than the black water tower castle in the Yue country.
Shen lang knew that the highest-ranking official in the Heishui station of the Tiannan province was a commander. He was the third most important person in the entire Tiannan city, second only to the governor and the commander of the garrison.
A commander had 30000 households and 30000 troops.
A province’s Black water station had 30000 patrol troops. This was unimaginable in the past. Even at the peak of the black water station in Yue country, there were less than 30000 Warriors.
At this time, in the square, the 10000 black water unit’s patrol Army had all gathered, and the leader was still that 10000-man commander.
These 10,000 Warriors of the black water tower were definitely elites. Each of them was wearing black armor. Although it couldn’t be compared with the ancient armor of the special Warriors, it was better than the secret armor of the six Supreme forces.
Each of them had an ancient saber and a nightmare stone rifle. Their masks were made of Special Metals, making them impervious to weapons.
Every warrior was armed to the teeth. They were like Hitler’s great protectors, but they were more powerful and elite.
There were 30000 Warriors of the black water station in a mere province, which further proved the Black Terror of the Jiang Empire’s Special Agent rule.
When the ten-thousand-man commander of the black water unit saw Shen lang, he nodded his head lightly. As this was a public place, he could not appear to be too ingratiating.
“Let’s go!” With his order, the 10000 patrolling soldiers marched to the edge of the city! 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖
They didn’t need any transportation because everyone was wearing special combat boots and had the power of nightmare stones, so they were very fast.
The roads in this city were extremely wide. Although the Xuanwu Avenue in Yue country was not as wide as the avenue in Chang ‘an during the Tang Dynasty, it was still dozens of meters wide. The main road of the southern Heaven city was more than 200 meters wide.
As the Blackwater station’s patrol passed by, the road was unimpeded, and no one blocked their way. Everyone was jittery, afraid to appear in front of this group of people.
The Ming Dynasty’s Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the Second World War Germany’s unparalleled tycoon, all of them made people tremble in fear and children stop crying.
The people of Tiannan city feared the Warriors of the Blackwater station even more. It was truly a Special Agent rule.
..................
At the same time, in the easternmost part of the southern Heaven city, there was a Fairyland.
There was a small bridge with flowing water and flowers.
The buildings in the entire Southern Heaven city were huge. They were dozens of meters long, magnificent and oppressive. It was impossible to tell whether they were from the East or the West, ancient or future. In short, they were contradictory.
However, the manor here was built in a classical oriental style, exactly the same as it was decades ago.
This was the southern Palace, where Crown Prince Jiang Ye had once stayed. Every time members of the Empire’s royal family came to the heavenly South Region, they would enter this temporary imperial residence and not the governor’s residence. Of course, only members of the royal family had the right to enter.
The highest-ranking officer of the black water station in Tiannan province of the Empire was the Admiral. However, when 10000 patrols went to the 13th and 19th districts to suppress the rebellion, the Admiral didn’t lead the team. He didn’t even appear, because he had a more important task: leading the elite warriors to guard Tiannan Palace, because there were really important people here.
The Army of the governor’s mansion escorted a carriage to the gate of the palace. A eunuch stepped forward, opened the door, and knelt down. He used his body as a stool for the noble in the carriage to step on and get off.
Xu Qianqian glanced at it and did not step on the human stool to get off. Instead, she stepped on the ground and walked toward the palace.
The commander of Tiannan province’s Black water station led the elite warriors and knelt down in unison.
“Greetings, noble.”
Xu Qianqian had never married Shen lang, but everyone knew that they were close. Therefore, she could not be called a concubine.
As soon as the governor’s mansion’s Army approached the palace, they were immediately stopped by the Blackwater station’s inspector.
This was the temporary imperial residence. No one was qualified to enter, not even ordinary troops. The Blackwater terrace was only qualified to guard the temporary imperial residence because it was a slave of the imperial family.
The ten-thousand-man commander of the governor’s mansion smiled and slightly bowed, feeling very unhappy.
The black water tower is too arrogant. They don’t even care about the governor’s mansion. Our Governor-General is the nephew of His Majesty.
When Xu Qianqian entered the palace, a high eunuch immediately knelt down and kowtowed. “Welcome, noble lady.”
“How’s the princess?” Xu Qianqian asked. How about a meal?”
not a good entry, ” the chief eunuch said in a low voice. I’m a little unhappy.
Xu Qianqian nodded and walked through the corridor to a pond. The water here was as pure as Jade.
An exquisite Pavilion stood in the middle of the pond. Xu Qianqian walked along the curved bridge and casually waved her hand. Immediately, everyone behind her retreated.
Xu Qianqian entered the pavilion. Everything inside seemed so ancient. The furniture, utensils, blankets, and even the books were all in an antique style.
An exquisite Oriental Beauty was sitting inside quietly reading a book.
She, Lao Ai, was the Empire’s Princess of Chang Le, Jiang Yu (Shen Yu).
“Yiniang,” After seeing Xu Qianqian, Jiang Qi stood up and bowed.
After a few decades, the baby had grown up and become a real princess. She was still as dreamy as when she was a child. Her every move was full of the model of the royal family, gentle and elegant.
When her mother Bing ‘er gave birth to Shen Yue, she said that this child was a Princess and that it had nothing to do with her. She had completely inherited her father’s noble aura.
She had also liked to be a Princess since she was young. She was strict with herself with every smile, every action, and every expression.
“Xiao Ling, I heard that you didn’t have a good meal today.” “What’s the matter? I’ve accompanied you to the southern Heaven city to relax, why aren’t you happy?”
I wanted to go to my old home, ” Jiang Xi said. I wanted to go to raging tide city to take a look, but I was stopped.
The old mansion he was talking about was the Xuanwu Duke’s mansion, the Jin family’s mansion. Her mother, Bing ‘er, grew up there.
Xu Qianqian said, ” they’re also concerned about your safety. These terrorists have been very arrogant recently. The entire Southern Heaven city is in turmoil and not very peaceful. It’s fine inside the dome, but if we go out, we might encounter danger.”
“I know, so I don’t blame them,” Jiang Yi said.
Xu Qianqian said gently, ” the black water tower has already found the detailed list of these terrorists. They will capture and exterminate them today. So, the safety alarm may be lifted tomorrow. I will accompany you to the Xuanwu Duke’s mansion then, okay? ”
Jiang Yao nodded her head gently.
At this moment, a maidservant walked in with a cup of tea and placed it on the table obediently.
“Yiniang, have some tea.” Princess Jiang Kui said.
Xu Wanwan picked up her teacup and sipped elegantly.
A line of words appeared on the tea.
Your Highness, we are ready. Tomorrow, we will rescue you from the darkness Empire and head to the Land of Light.
The maidservant’s face did not show any expression of agreement, nor did she say anything. After serving the tea, she quietly walked out.
As soon as she walked out of the curved bridge, a few female warriors of the Blackwater terrace came forward and searched every inch of the maid’s body.
Xu Qianqian continued to chat with Princess Jiang Yao, and they were all normal.
However, their hands were secretly typing a special password at a place where no one could see. They communicated in this way.
“Yiniang, will they be in danger? The Warriors of the Empire’s Blackwater station went to suppress the rebellion today.” Princess Jiang Yao.
“In order to save you, everything was worth it,” Xu Qianqian said.
“It’s not worth it to pay such a huge price for me,” Princess Jiang Kui said.
“You’re his daughter. Even if the country of light has to pay a huge price to save you, it’ll be worth it,” Xu Qianqian said.
“Who’s the one who led the team to save me this time?” Princess Jiang Kui asked. Is it the radiant Princess or Lord redsnow?”
we’ll know tomorrow, ” Xu Qianqian said. as long as we can escape this darkness Empire, as long as we can escape this hell, everything will be fine. Only in the Land of Light would there be a true future. Many of your family members are also waiting for you there.”
........................
Shen lang followed the 10000 black water unit’s patrol to the edge of the dome, where there were countless underground caves.
Over a million people were living in these caves, and their lives were worse than that of livestock, like ants.
They were not qualified to live in the houses on the ground. They were not even qualified to enter the city. They worked for more than ten hours a day, constantly collecting various resources outside the dome and transporting them back to the city. The most important thing was water.
Because a mere dome could not have a complete ecosystem, most of the water resources had to be collected from the outside, and ice mining became the most important work.
The one million or so people in Tianshui city were such worker ants.
The place they lived in was divided into 19 districts, each of which was a super cave group, with nearly 80000 people living inside.
According to Blackwater station’s spy report, the hostile terrorists were hiding in the 13th and 19th districts. They were planning to incite the Atoners (slaves) in these two districts to cause a riot and detonate the dome Energy pillar.
Hence, these 10000 patrol Army troops were split into two groups. One group headed to the 13th and the other group headed to the 19th.
On the other hand, Shen lang followed them to the 13th District for the arrest operation.
look carefully and remember the faces of every terrorist. These are the enemies of the Empire. They are trying to overthrow the emperor’s rule. They are the enemies of all mankind and the entire civilization.
after entering, capture them immediately. If there is any resistance, kill them without mercy.
in the 13th District, there are 20 terrorists, 300 defectors who have been incited, and 2000 Atoners who have been contaminated by rumors. All of these 2000 people must be arrested.
we have to be quick. We have to capture all of them within four hours.
“Did you hear that?”
“Yes!” 5,000 Blackwater station’s patrol Army.
“Let’s go!”
The 5,000 black water unit’s patrol Army immediately rushed into the 13th District to arrest them.
At this moment, a figure descended from the sky. Everyone could not help but be stunned and then knelt down in unison.
“Greetings, Governor.”
If it was an ordinary Governor, Blackwater station would not have taken him seriously. Because the Empire was now ruled by special agents, the power of Blackwater station had been greatly increased. Therefore, basically, the commanders-in-chief of Blackwater station in every province did not take the governor seriously, and the struggle was very fierce.
However, Tiannan province was an exception, because the governor was the nephew of the Emperor.
The governor of Shen city was still impatient and lazy. He glanced at Shen lang. Other people were polite to the special envoy, but he had always been arrogant.
“Is everything ready?” Shencheng’s Governor-General said lightly.
“Yes, my Lord,” the ten-thousand-man commander of the Blackwater station replied.
“What do you all plan to do?” Governor Shen Cheng asked.
arrest them quickly according to the list, ” the ten-thousand-man commander of the Heishui station said. there are 2320 people in total.
He handed over the name list.
The Governor-General of shencheng glanced at it and threw it on the ground. The ten thousand households of the black water platform quickly knelt down and picked it up.
“It’s too troublesome. Be thorough.” Governor Shen Cheng said. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m
“Then, according to the governor’s opinion?”
kill them all, ” Governor Shen said. we’ll capture them all in one fell swoop. We’d rather kill 3000 by mistake than let a single one go.
“My Lord, there are 70000 people in this Suan ni,” said the 10000-man commander of the black water unit with a trembling voice.
“Is there a problem?” Governor Shen Cheng asked. You can have as many of these animals as you want.”
Tens of thousands of people in the black water tower felt their blood freeze. It was no problem for them to capture more than 2000 people at once. The black water tower dared to bear the responsibility. However, in order to capture a few dozen terrorists, it was too ruthless to kill 70000 people at once, even if they were the slaves of the lowest level.
Blackwater station couldn’t bear this responsibility.
“What responsibility? I’ll take it!” Governor Shen Cheng said.
Then, he looked at Shen lang and said, ” “If you don’t like it, you can write a secret letter to report me to the capital city at any time. But before that, I still have the final say. Besides, you’re carrying out a secret mission to eliminate the rebels in the Land of Light. I’ve had enough of this damn place, hurry up and do it, do it!”
“Yes!” Wanhu of the Blackwater station said.
“Let’s do it. We’re going to kill the entire Thirteenth District.” The ten-thousand-man commander of the black water unit said with a trembling voice.
Immediately, 5,000 black water unit’s patrol soldiers rushed into the 13th area and started killing.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The nightmare stone rifle and the nightmare stone machine gun fired fiercely.
The entire 13th section was about 10 square kilometers, and 70000 people lived in it.
The black water station’s patrol Army opened fire fiercely, and countless efforts were instantly killed without any resistance. In fact, most of them did not even know how they died.
During this process, the governor of Shen city suddenly looked at Shen lang and said, ” “Xu Qianqian greets the special envoy?”
Shen lang remained silent.
“Alright, I won’t ask, I won’t ask.” The governor of shencheng said disdainfully.
A few minutes later, the sounds of other battles could be heard.
It was obvious that someone was resisting. It should be the rebel forces lying in ambush in the 13th District.
About half an hour later!
Ten-thousand households of the black water platform walked out, knelt down, and said, ” “Lord Governor, we’ve killed them all.”
“How are the casualties?” Shen Cheng asked.
“We’ve lost more than 500 people,” Heishui Wanhu said.
“Didn’t you say there were only 20-odd rebel soldiers?” Shen Cheng sneered.
“It’s your humble servant’s fault,” the ten-thousand man commander of the black water platform said guiltily.
Shen Cheng asked,”how many rebels are there in total?” How many weapons did you bring?”
about 100 rebellion soldiers, ” the warrior said. the weapons they brought were very primitive. They didn’t have nightmare stones, but they were very skilled in martial arts, so they caused us great casualties.
Chen Cheng said, ” these people still want to do it. They want to overthrow our powerful empire with such a small force. So what if they managed to launch a successful attack? The only one who will lose face is me, the governor, and the only one who will be unlucky is your Blackwater station’s commander. Can you shake our Empire? An ant trying to shake a tree.”
Then, the governor of shencheng returned to the gorgeous carriage and sat down, quietly drinking the wine.
After another hour, a winged cavalry warrior descended from the sky.
Your Excellency, the 19th region has also been completely eliminated. There are a total of 50000 people, and they have all been eliminated. We have found about 50 plus rebel soldiers from the Land of Light.
now, ” Governor shencheng said, ” please tell me, Blackwater station. Are you sure you’ve annihilated all the rebellion forces that infiltrated the city? ”
“They should have all been annihilated,” said the ten-thousand-man commander of the black water unit.
“I’ll f * ck off!” Governor-General shencheng pointed to the ten thousand households of the Heishui station and said in a cold voice, ” “If anything happens tomorrow, I’ll skin you alive.”
After that, the governor of shencheng rode on the winged cavalry and left. He had just killed more than 100000 slaves. To him, it was as if it was a piece of cake and he was not moved at all.
..........................................
A moment later, the governor of shencheng landed outside the palace.
“Greetings, Governor.” The Blackwater station’s commander was still guarding the door like a dog. When he saw the governor of shencheng, he also bowed respectfully.
The governor of shencheng nodded. He didn’t pay much attention to the inspector of the Blackwater station and was about to enter the palace.
A moment later, a high-ranking eunuch walked out and knelt down. “Greetings, Duke.”
The place where he knelt happened to be the door, blocking the governor’s way.
“What’s wrong?” Shen Cheng asked. My royal family is not pure enough. My surname is Shen, not Jiang, so I can’t enter the palace? Don’t forget that Jiang Chen is not separated and his Majesty the Emperor has not officially given the order to change the surname.”
The chief eunuch knelt down and kowtowed. I would never dare to do that. In my eyes, Jiang is my master. Shen is also my master.
Governor Shen Cheng said,”then why are you still blocking my way?” The princess is my sister. We’ve been close since we were young. We’re not blood-related siblings, but more like blood-related siblings. What’s wrong with me going to see her?”
“Duke, the princess is asleep,” the eunuch said, kowtowing.
Governor Shen Cheng said,”Oh, sleeping?” I almost forgot, this sister has been very disciplined since she was young, unlike me, who doesn’t sleep in the middle of the night. By the way, is my sister happy today?”
she’s a little unhappy, ” the high eunuch said. this time, she came to the South because she wanted to go to the Furious tide city and the Duke of Xuanwu’s mansion to take a look. But she was stopped.
Governor shencheng said, ” it’s a great injustice. It’s really not very peaceful recently. The rebel army in the Land of Light is very arrogant. I’m really afraid that it’s not safe, so I didn’t let my sister go to the old mansion. I miss that place very much. Fine, fine, I’ll go tomorrow. I’ll accompany her tomorrow. Anyway, most of the rebel army has been eliminated. I will accompany Her Highness to the Duke of Xuanwu’s mansion tomorrow morning.”
“Yes, sure.” The chief eunuch knelt down and kowtowed.
After the governor of shencheng left, the head eunuch quickly entered the palace and came to the pavilion. He kowtowed and said, ” Your Highness, the rebel army has been exterminated. It should be peaceful outside. Tomorrow, we will go to the Duke of Xuanwu’s mansion, and then to raging tide city.
Jiang Yao’s gentle and excited voice came from inside,”I know, Banban.”
..........................................
A few hours later, in a cave that was dozens of miles away from the Marquis of Xuanwu’s mansion, dozens of Warriors sat there quietly.
Everyone’s clothes had a sun embroidered on it, so it was called the Land of Light. However, Jiang Li was once known as the sun.
The leader of the group was a warrior. His hair was messy and his face was full of beard. He was skinny and his eyes were tired.
He was the long-lost Zhu hongxue.
Zhu hongxue of the sky-Sea Pavilion.
Dozens of Warriors were eating quietly.
“This damn fire can’t even heat up water, and the meat can’t be cooked.” One of the Warriors complained.
The air pressure here was too low, so the boiling point of water couldn’t reach 100 degrees Celsius, so the meat couldn’t be cooked.
Moreover, the temperature here was too low. The meat had already turned cold the moment it was scooped out. By the time it was delivered into the mouth, it would have frozen hard.
Zhu hongxue took the piece of meat and chewed numbly.
Thirty years ago, his martial arts had already reached the peak. How powerful was he now?
Of course, after the battle of tianyue city, he followed Zuo Ci and left the great desert, never to be seen again.
“General, are our brothers in the southern Heaven city all dead?” “There’s no news yet,” one of the Warriors said.
Zhu hongxue was speechless.
Marshal, the number of Warriors in the Land of Light is getting smaller and smaller. The Empire is too powerful. Do we still have hope? ”
almost 30 years have passed. If Emperor Shen lang is still alive, he would have appeared long ago. Is Lao Ai dead? ”
“Marshal, do we still have hope? According to the pavilion master’s theory, this world can only last for less than a hundred years before it’s destroyed.”
Zhu hongxue didn’t say anything after hearing what his warrior said.
Because he didn’t know if there was any hope.
He did not know if Shen lang was dead or if he would return.
However, it was better to have hope than to have no hope, right? This was what his teacher had told him.
Back then, before Emperor Shen lang went on a Northern Expedition to the Yan capital, his teacher, Zuo Ci, had visited him and invited him to visit the desert when it was convenient or not.
Almost thirty years had passed, and his Majesty had never appeared again.
Was there still hope and light in the future?
At this moment, a fiery red Bird flew over and entered the cave like a ball of fire.
Zhu hongxue stretched out his hand. The fiery red Bird landed on his palm and pecked it a few times.
Zhu hongxue’s gaze trembled. get ready. A battle will break out tomorrow. The location will be at the old residence of the Duke of Xuanwu. Rescue two people and bring them to the Land of Light.
“Yes!”
This time, Zhu hongxue came all the way here to save two people, Xu Qianqian and Princess Shen Yue.
..............................
[ note: finally finished at 12:30 ] I’ll try my best to fill in every hole in the ending plot!
(In the chapter, someone said that Shen lang was cheating on him. I was really confused. Jiang Li didn’t even see Shen Lang’s wives when he was in the North Pole and didn’t go south, let alone touch them. The next chapter will explain this.)
