Chapter 168 [Going Down the Mountain]
Chapter 168 [Down the Mountain]
Under the treatment of Shen Lang, Tang Rong's injury stabilized and her life was not hindered. However, because the true energy was damaged too much, it would take at least one or two years to rest. Therefore, Shen Lang did not intend to take Tang Rong to Shenjing this time.
"Brother Shen, I want to be with you." Tang Rong grabbed Shen Lang's hand and begged reluctantly. She finally waited until Shen Lang accepted her, but she didn't want to be separated from him again.
Shen Lang stretched out his hand and stroked Tang Rong's temples for a while, and smiled and said, "Rong'er, I will definitely have a fierce battle when I go to save you Sister Ling this time. Your body needs care now. Following me is afraid that it will distract me. Be good!"
"But... But Brother Shen, I...I don't want to leave you, I'm afraid you... I'll leave and never come back..." Tang Rong felt this sensitively. Shen Lang went down the mountain this time not just to rescue Tang Ling. Before following Tang Ling to leave Wuzhou, she actually understood that the existence of Shen Lang's current Xiayin Sect actually restricted its development. The main reason is that his prestige is too high, resulting in many things without his approval, and almost no one in the sect dared to push. Shen Lang's ability to choose to retreat bravely requires great courage to do it.
Shen Lang shook his head and said, "Since I accept you, I will not leave you aside. After saving your sister Ling, I will take her to relax. In a year or two, I will come back to find you. How about it?"
"Brother Shen, take it seriously?" Tang Rong held Shen Lang's hand and rubbed it on her cheek. She knew that Shen Lang had promised a fortune, and since she agreed to her, she would never go back on her promise.
Shen Lang nodded. Tang Rong needed to rest, and Xiayin Sect was the best place.
After arranging Tang Rong, Shen Lang also comforted the other elite Wuzhou Army who fled back, healed them one by one, and basically saved their lives, but they all needed a long time to recover. I believe that these people have experienced this life-and-death battle, and will have great development in the future, both in martial arts cultivation and identity status. Xiayin Sect needs these extremely loyal core members the most.
Shen Lang told everyone about his decision to go down the mountain. Everyone knew that this day would come sooner or later, but when it really came, it was still a bit unacceptable. From the day the Xia Yin Sect was born, Shen Lang was the soul and symbol of Xia Yin Sect. Because of Shen Lang's existence, Xia Yin Sect and Wuzhou could stand proudly in the world in troubled times.
However, as Shen Lang passed on the Xia Yin Sect to Mixue of Shen Dai, the sect had basically accepted all this, but they still respected Shen Lang infinitely.
Looking at his friends who have been working hard with him over the years, now that martial arts are successful and they have basically started a family and started a career, Shen Lang is still sincerely happy for them. The peace he sought has basically been achieved. He said that his chivalrous way was not without limits, but five hundred miles, Xia Yin Sect, Xia Yin Town, and even Wuzhou were the place where Shen Lang's chivalrous came true. Now it is time to leave.
As everyone was reluctant to leave, Shen Lang walked down the mountain casually. Wherever he passed, the Xiayin Sect members saluted one after another. The tall back remained in everyone's hearts like a pillar of rising sky forever, becoming a legend of Xiayin Sect.
After getting out of the clouds and mist, Shen Lang disguised himself as an ordinary knight in the world and pulled a white horse. After only half a day, he came to the dock controlled by the Wuzhou Army. Then he followed many travelers and people on the boat and headed to Shenjing.
After the shadow king Lu Hui became emperor, Shen Jing became the place where the people of the world wanted. People from all over the world, especially those who escaped from Shen Jing before, even took their families to embark on the road to return home.
Along the way, the imperial army seemed to be disciplined and unscrupulous, which made the people praise it.
Seeing all this, Shen Lang couldn't help but nodded silently. Lu Feng was able to successfully proclaim himself emperor and received a response from the people. Although the Wuzhou Army was the key to Lu Feng's ability to conquer the world, it has to be admitted that this former disciple had extraordinary abilities and emperor's mind.
The ship was replaced three times, passing through more than a dozen prefectures and counties, from south to north, and it took more than a month in total. It was Shen Lang who was willing to sprinkle silver and horses for transportation. If he was an ordinary person, he would often have to rely on his feet to travel, and it would probably take more than three months.
One morning more than 40 days later, Shen Lang quietly appeared outside the most lively Chaotian Gate in Shenjing. At this time, the bustling crowd was queuing up to enter the city gate, like a crucian carp crossing the river, very lively.
Chaotianmen is very large and spacious, about fifty meters wide. In addition, there are several side doors. Most of the people and merchants can only enter through side doors. Only dignitaries, wealthy businessmen with status and soldiers in military uniforms can enter and exit the main door.
Shen Lang led the horse and followed the crowd, observing the surrounding situation around.
In addition to the necessary inspections, ordinary people also have to pay the poll tax. Generally speaking, males over 16 years old need to pay three cents, while women only need to pay one cent, while those under 16 years old do not need to pay. If they carry horses or something, they need to pay an additional two cents, and Shen Lang paid a total of five cents.
Just as he entered the city in an orderly manner, a sudden scream came from afar, and many people dragged their families to dodge to both sides. Shen Lang frowned and looked at it carefully, and found that dust and fog were spreading in the distance, as if an army was marching urgently.
"It seems that there is some emergency military information?" Shen Lang said to himself.
When the army approached, some people who could not hide were directly beaten to the ground by the soldiers on horseback, and then the people on horseback burst into laughter, which caused a burst of indignation among the people around.
"Oh... when you meet the King of Wu and your party, you can only admit that you are unlucky." An old merchant next to him, stroked his beard and sighed.
Shen Lang asked curiously: "This father-in-law has invited me. I dare to ask who the King of Wu is. I am here in the capital for the first time."
"Brother, have you been living in seclusion before?" The old man looked at Shen Lang with some wonder. Shen Lang looked about twenty years old, not like a person living in seclusion. However, it is normal for his family to live in seclusion in order to avoid the war. Many families are like this.
Shen Lang thought about it and nodded. Over the years, he had basically given up all mundane affairs, just to comprehend martial arts, so he did not know much about the outside world, which was almost the same as living in seclusion.
The old man continued, "Your Majesty has three most respected brothers, among which the King of Wu is one. It is said that the King of Wu came from a family of East China Sea, with martial arts, appearances, and character. He was like the emperor, and was convinced by His Majesty to start the east and west to fight, and made great military achievements. Finally, after Your Majesty established his capital, he was awarded the reward of the king of different surnames, becoming one of the few kings of different surnames in the founding of the new dynasty. In addition to the King of Wu, there were also King Jing and King Min, both of whom were from wealthy families. Among them, King Jing and King Min were valued by Your Majesty and adopted them as concubines, and were quite favored. In short, the three kings of King Wu were the most prominent, and King Jing and King Min were the most prominent. The three people went on a trip with a grand appearance, no less than His Majesty."
Seeing that the King of Wu and his party ignored the people around him, even other dignitaries and soldiers could only avoid three points. On one of the black horses, a majestic man entered the city with a tiger's gaze and eagle's gaze. The people who were whipped by the King of Wu dared not speak out, and could only think that they were unlucky to stand up. Most people around seemed to be accustomed to all this.
Seeing this, Shen Lang didn't say much. He was a founding hero and famous person. Although he was domineering, he was not a very evil person.
The team quickly returned to normal, and Shen Lang led his horse into Shenjing.
In front of me, there seemed to be a vivid cartoon scroll slowly unfolding, with rows of tall buildings and large houses, various accents from south to north, and pedestrians shoulder to shoulder with smiles on their faces, which made Shen Lang think of the word "State of China and the People".
The world has been suffering from chaotic times for a long time, and now peace is the will of the people. Without Lu Huang and Wuzhou Army, there will be other people who will unify the world. Shen Lang felt that he was just using the general trend to promote it back then. As for the current situation, I believe it will take a long time.
Shen Lang didn't know where Tang Ling was under house arrest now, but he still had a way to find out. In fact, as long as he appeared, the current emperor would naturally send someone to pick him up, and Tang Ling would naturally appear in front of him. However, out of speculation about the emperor, Shen Lang did not intend to conflict with him in person, and even just planned to rescue Tang Ling and took her away from the new dynasty after he took her away. Tang Ling had already completed his mission, the world had been unified, and Shen Lang had already taken the world indifferent to the world, and the two no longer missed everything about this dynasty.
Shen Lang once discussed with Mixue Kamiyomi. In the end, Mixue Kamiyomi decided to send Shen Lei, Wang Dadao and Murong Shu, who were highly prestigious in the Xiayin Sect, to rescue. Five hundred elite soldiers were killed and injured, which made the Xiayin Sect, angry, and thus decided that they must rescue the Wuzhou Army who remained in the northwest.
Shen Lang believed that the three of them could do this. Murong Shu had already broken through to the Xuan Realm, and Shen Lei and Wang Dadao were already half a step into the Xuan Realm. The three of them could not be weak even when facing three Xuan Realm powerhouses. Although there must be Xuan Realm powerhouses in the northwest, Shen Lang believed that the number of people would never exceed three. Looking at the world, there were only a handful of Xuan Realm powerhouses. In addition, Lu Ying tried to use Tang Ling to deal with him, Shen Lang, and would definitely keep Xuan Realm powerhouses in Shen Jing. He had a good understanding of the character of his former disciple. Lu Ying was a person who used all means for his purpose, and was also a person who cherished his life. He would never pay attention to the defense of Shen Jing.
After choosing a medium-sized inn, Shen Lang planned to observe for a while and collect some information about Tang Ling.
