Chapter 785 Landing

On the tenth day of September, the city was sealed.

When he first arrived in Mao, Shen Hao put on his clothes and went to practice in the backyard as usual. At present, the technique in his hand has not been replaced, and he is reluctant to use it. He has to wait until the matter in his hand is over before making any plans.

After the practice, it was just at the right time, and Hongsi and Jinxiu brought hot water to wait for Shen Hao to wash. Now these two little ones are doing all the work. As for Xia Nv, whenever Shen Hao stayed at home overnight, she would be too muddy to get up early in the morning.

"Master Shen, Zhang Zongqi came outside and said he has something urgent to report."

While still washing his face, the butler Hu Tian reported outside the door that Zhang Liao had come. The face towel in Shen Hao's hand paused, and after washing, he said, "Tell him to wait for me in the main room."

"It's Lord Shen."

Before leaving, Jinxiu tugged on Hongsi's arm, and the latter asked Shen Hao crisply: "Master, we have been stuck at home for more than half a year, when can we go shopping in the street?"

They are different from Xia Nu. Although they were also hunted by slave caravans, they have never been in a dental shop. In addition, they are not very old. After coming to Shen's mansion, they have long been used to their master Shen's temper. They know that as long as they are obedient, they will Shen Hao was easy to talk about, so he asked to see when the ban could be lifted. Staying at home for more than half a year has made them miserable.

Shen Hao pushed open the door, turned his head and said with a smile: "Come on, you can go to the streets after the battle in the south is over."

From the bodies of the two little fox girls, Shen Hao could feel that in addition to the fierce and desperate barbarians he saw on the battlefield, there were also a group of submissive people in the barbarians. In the hearts of these barbarians, "the strong control everything" ", and while being weak, they will consciously maintain and obey the strong. The spirit of resistance can hardly be found in these barbarians.

Perhaps the loyalty of some barbarians is not given to any ethnic group or royal court, but to the strong who control their destiny.

Behind him was the little fox girl who was giggling, and Shen Hao went to the main room with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Liao was already waiting in the main room. Seeing Shen Hao coming in, he quickly bowed and saluted.

"Sit down and talk. Have you had breakfast? Sour noodle soup, a whole bowl?" Shen Hao sat down in his seat while talking, and a bowl of sour noodle soup just served in front of him was just right.

Li Erfu, the cook, was naturally prepared. As soon as Shen Hao said this, he brought another bowl of noodles and put it in front of Zhang Liao.

What if Zhang Liao didn't want to eat noodles and refused? Li Erfu never thought of it that way. Reject Master Shen in the Shen residence? He has never seen such a person as the first chef of Shen's residence.

"Thank you, my lord." Zhang Liao sat down naturally, picked up the sour noodle soup in front of him and began to chatter. He slurped down half a bowl in one mouthful or two, and then wiped his mouth. Seeing that the servants in the main room avoided him, he quickly got down to business: "My lord, there is news that Heishui has come to the imperial city. There was a brawl at the north gate of the imperial city last night. King Qi, King Wu, and King Shou are all dead!"

"Huh?!" Shen Hao turned his head violently when he heard the words, took the copper bar handed over from Zhang Liao and unfolded it for a closer look. After putting down the copper bar twice, Shen Hao said unconsciously: "It's over so quickly!"

Zhang Liao also nodded, agreeing with his lord's statement.

Can you hurry up? In the south, Baitou Gorge won the victory only on the second day of September. Today is the 11th day of September. The night before the accident was the 10th day of September. How many days has it been?

According to Shen Hao's previous thoughts, the royal family's "big test" obviously had to keep up with the rhythm of the military affairs in the south, and it would definitely be completed before the end of the military affairs in the south. Shen Hao even thought that the remaining four princes would have one or several battles in the imperial city, and the final winner would be determined after ups and downs.

But that's it? Gone?

Of course, Shen Hao didn't really think that the fight at the South Gate would be easy. It's just that the time of the incident is too short, and the specific situation and details are still unclear for the time being. All I know is that last night Lingwang Shu went to the heaven and earth altar in the northern outskirts of the city to burn incense and salute. When he came back, he had a fight with Shouwang, Wuwang, and Qiwang outside the north gate, and finally Lingwangshu won a complete victory.

It's intriguing.

Although King Ling is currently known as the strongest among the four remaining princes, his strength is not enough to fight three with one, right? Besides, it's just going out to burn incense, so it's impossible to bring all the force with you, right? And the north gate is the power of King Qi, so it stands to reason that the defenders can reinforce King Qi at any time?

"Let the spies continue to investigate, and at the same time keep an eye on the Lingwang Mansion, and report any new news immediately."

"It's my lord, my subordinates understand." Zhang Liao just came over to inform Shen Hao, and then he had to rush back after receiving the order. He was temporarily in charge of Heishui, and he was very nervous in his heart for fear that something might go wrong. Of course, the bowl of sour noodle soup before leaving still has to be finished.

Zhang Liao left in a hurry, Shen Hao continued with his breakfast, half of his thoughts were no longer on the sour soup noodles in front of him.

Of the seven princes, with the sudden end of the "big exam", only the Lingwang remained, and the other six died. Then no matter how the battle in the south changes, it will no longer have an impact on the structure of the Jingjiu Dynasty.

According to the practice of the old Jing Dynasty, after the "big exam" is over, the emperor will issue a decree to assign the status of prince to the prince who wins the "big exam", and begin to gradually transfer power. This process is generally accompanied by the death of the emperor. Every time the old and the new change, it means that the old emperor will pass away. This is no exception in the history of the old Jing Dynasty.

Then the next imperial city will definitely be accompanied by a big reshuffle.

If any other prince succeeds to the throne, it may not cause much shock to the Jingjiu Dynasty, but the succession of King Ling is hard to say. Because this prince has nothing to do with the old factions in the Jingjiu dynasty, and even these old forces have never helped him at all, on the contrary, they have always blocked him. If there are many things in it that are true, then there must be something to watch.

Things were complicated, and Shen Hao didn't have a clue for a while, but he knew very well in his heart that the situation was clear, and the following things would continue to revolve around Ling Wang's likes and dislikes.

Finally, when the military incident in the south is over, the Jing old dynasty will return to its former state, and there is no need to be careful about everything as it is now.

As usual, he went to the Commander's Yamen, and as soon as he entered, Wang Yiming hurried over with a copper bar. It was also the change in the imperial city last night, and this came from Xuanqingwei. Although it was a bit late, there was more interesting new information. That is what the Lingwang Mansion said to the outside world: the north gate guarded Huangzishan and made great contributions to the rescue last night.

So Huang Zishan defected? Or was this person secretly on the side of King Ling from the very beginning?

If this is the case, then the whole is a bureau, a bureau set up by King Ling. It should have been deliberately selling a flaw, and then using the urgency of the other three to kill the opponent in one go, winning by surprise, and killing the enemy with one move.

After Shen Hao thought it through, he couldn't help but secretly said: Ling Wang's move was really beautiful, and it really wasn't luck alone to be able to fight all the way to become the final winner.
