Final Volume Chapter 33

Final Volume Chapter 33

Whether it was a lie or a threat, Tang Yin finally got the chance to go to Beijing that he had dreamed of.

Shangjing is just a city. What makes it unique is that it is the capital of the empire. The city has a large area and the surrounding area can be mapped to a wide range. However, it is too important to Feng Country.

Other aspects are secondary. The most important point is that Shangjing is located between Feng and Sichuan. If the Feng Kingdom wants to go south to use troops against the Sichuan Kingdom, Shangjing will be a thorn in the side. If it cannot capture Shangjing, it will become a pillar against Feng. The knife in the country's back.

But Shangjing is the capital of the empire, and it is really difficult for Feng State to launch a strong attack on Shangjing. But now that the problem has been solved, Xiao Xuan has voluntarily given up Shangjing, and Feng Jun can take over the capital without bloodshed, and it will save Feng State a lot of money in the future. Much trouble.

After receiving this handwriting from Xiao Xuan, Tang Yin was in a good mood and was cheerful on the way back to Fengying.

Xiao Xuan thought that using Pan Taike to kill Ren Xiao would solve this problem, but he probably never dreamed of it. Not only did he fail to kill Ren Xiao, but he also lost Shangjing.

Thinking of this, the smile on Tang Yin's face deepened. He could even predict the expression on Xiao Xuan's face when he heard the news that Pan Tai was killed by him last night.

As soon as Tang Yin returned to Fengying, a soldier came forward to report that Ren Xiao had been waiting in the Chinese military tent for a long time.

Tang Yin was not surprised that Ren Xiao was able to come to him. He nodded slightly and then urged his horse to head towards the Chinese military tent.

He had just dismounted and before he entered the Chinese military tent, Ren Xiao came out to greet Tang Yin, bowed to the ground, and said: "I was really too careless last night. If His Highness hadn't arrived in time, I would have... suffered." At the hands of that villain Pan Tai!"

Tang Yin smiled and patted Ren Xiao's shoulder, raised his head and said, "Come into the tent and talk!"

He pulled Ren Xiao into the Chinese army tent. After sitting down, he looked at Ren Xiao up and down for a while. Seeing that he was in low spirits, he couldn't help but shook his head secretly and said seriously: "Brother Ren is really too careless this time. As the saying goes, it's useless." Being diligent in your work is either a traitor or a thief. Brother Ren should take this as a lesson in the future and be more careful!"

Ren Xiao nodded and said faintly: "I just didn't expect that Pan Tai would be so bold and dare to assassinate me..."

"Man will die for money, and birds will die for food. If profit comes first, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished."

"Even if I die, what will Pan Tai get? Can he become the Holy King?" Ren Xiao said incomprehensibly. Even if a new Holy King needs to be elected, it won't be Pan Tai's turn anyway!

Tang Yin touched it from under the table, then waved his hand, threw out a golden light, and said at the same time: "He can get this!"

Ren Xiao was startled, and instinctively stretched out his hand to catch it. It felt heavy. He lowered his head and saw that it was a golden brocade bag. He looked at Tang Yin in confusion, then untied the brocade bag and took a look inside. , all gold dust.

"This..." Ren Xiao looked at Tang Yin in surprise, not understanding what was going on.

"Brother Ren, do you think this is really the work of Pan Tai? These gold sands were found in Pan Tai's home, and there are far more than that. There are five large boxes, no less than 10,000 taels. Obviously, someone spent a lot of money to buy them. Brother Ren’s head.”

"Who is it?" Ren Xiao clenched his fists.

Tang Yin said quietly: "Who can afford so much gold, who is so eager to kill Brother Ren and doesn't want Brother Ren to ascend to the throne?"

Ren Xiao took a breath and said in shock: "Could it be...King of Sichuan!"

"That's right!" Tang Yin nodded and said: "The King of Sichuan is very aware of the friendship between you and me. He naturally also understands that after Brother Ren becomes the Holy King, Shenchi will definitely lean towards the Feng Kingdom. Therefore, the King of Sichuan took the risk to He bribed Pan Tai with a lot of money and assassinated Brother Ren. "

"That's it!" Only now did Ren Xiao understand the whole story. He is an uncontroversial, easy-going and gentle person, but this does not mean that he has no temper. How could he not be angry when someone harmed him like this?

Ren Xiao took a deep breath and whispered: "In this case, Your Highness should not kill Pan Tai. He should be captured alive and take him to confront King Sichuan."

"Then what?" Tang Yin asked softly.

"Then?" Ren Xiao blinked in confusion.

"Exposed the King of Sichuan and Pan Tai's affair in person, and then what? The assassination of the crown prince is a heinous crime. Pan Tai is going to die, and the King of Sichuan is also involved. But will the hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops allow Shenchi to execute their monarch? But if that's the case If the King of Sichuan is let go like this, where will the majesty of Shenchi be? In the end, the two sides will only evolve into a situation where they are fighting each other. Can Shenchi's current national strength be able to compete with the hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops? The king died in Shenchi City. I am afraid that Shenchi will also suffer the disaster of annihilation. Rather than taking such a big risk, it is better to tolerate the matter for the time being and pretend not to know anything. When Shenchi's national strength recovers, there is no need to seek revenge. Night."

Tang Yin's words surprised Ren Xiao, and also made him understand a truth. After sitting on the throne, he can no longer think about problems from his own perspective, but must weigh the pros and cons of things from the country's perspective.

He was silent for a long time, then stood up, raised his hands to Tang Yin and said, "Your Highness taught you a lesson very well. Ren Xiao is too impatient."

Tang Yin was happy, waved to Ren Xiao repeatedly, and said, "Brother Ren, you're talking too harshly, sit down quickly!"

After a pause, he continued: "This time, Brother Ren can only endure this matter first. As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge every ten years. In the future, King Sichuan will definitely pay the price for what he did today. "

Tang Yin will not miss any opportunity to make Shenchi and Sichuan become enemies. Tang Yin knew Ren Xiao very well and knew that he was a happy-go-lucky person. Even if he had a deep friendship with him, he might not be able to do his best to help Feng Guo deal with Sichuan State in the future. The seeds of hatred planted in Ren Xiao's heart would also make Feng Guo more vulnerable in the future. The alliance between the country and Shenchi.

Ren Xiao nodded and said: "Your Highness is right. Looking for trouble with the Sichuan Kingdom based on the current situation of the Divine Pond is undoubtedly an attempt to kill an egg with a stone. Don't worry, Your Highness, this matter ends here and I will not spread it to the outside world."

"Yes!" Tang Yin responded with a smile and asked casually: "Brother Ren, you haven't had breakfast yet. It just so happens that you and I are having dinner together."

Ren Xiao was in a gloomy mood, but he still squeezed out a smile and said, "Then I'll bother His Highness."

Tang Yin looked up and smiled and said, "Brother Ren, why should you be polite to me?"

Under Tang Yin's 'enlightenment', Ren Xiao indeed never mentioned the inside story of Pan Tai's assassination to anyone, including Xia Yao. However, he did not forget the matter. It was like a needle. Buried deep in his heart.

Five days later, Ren Xiao officially inherited the throne of Shenchi and sat on the throne of the Holy King of Shenchi.

When he sat on the king's chair in the palace hall, he had the illusion that he was in a dream. He was originally just an adopted son who was not favored by Guang Hanting. To put it nicely, he was the Master of Shenchi. In fact, he was one of the many puppets cultivated by Guang Hanting, and he was an inconspicuous one. Who would have thought that the position of Holy King would eventually fall to him. Thinking about it now, he felt incredible that he had become the Holy King in a daze without doing anything.

The succession ceremony of the Holy King of Shenchi was very grand. When Ren Xiaoxing left the palace and was escorted by many elders and guards to worship heaven, earth and the Holy God, the streets were already overcrowded. The people who gathered in Shenchi could be described as a sea of ​​people. Even the disciples of Shenchi who were scattered all over the world rushed back to Shenchi City, just to see the grand occasion of the new king's enthronement.

On the Shenchi Mountain, Ren Xiao first worshiped the heaven and the earth, and then moved to the holy temple to worship the holy god. After all the trouble, it was already dusk when he returned to the palace.

There was already a grand banquet in the palace, and both Tang Yin and Xiao Xuan were invited to attend. At this time, the hall was extremely lively, and the elders were all drinking happily.

Speaking of Ren Xiao inheriting the position of Holy King, the elders would feel more or less relieved.

In terms of seniority, they are higher than Ren Xiao, and in terms of spiritual strength, they are also stronger than Ren Xiao. Although they are not contemptuous and indifferent towards Ren Xiao, they are not as cautious, reserved and fearful as they are towards Guang Hanting.

During the dinner, Lu Jian, who had been acting dull, suddenly stood up, left the seat, and went to the center of the hall. He bowed his hands to Ren Xiao and saluted, and said seriously: "Holy King, I have something to report!"

Ren Xiao was a little uncomfortable being called a Holy King all of a sudden. He was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, leaned forward, waved his hands, and said with a smile: "Elder Lu, there is no need to be polite, please tell me if you have anything to say!"

"Now that our Divine Pond has a new king and the situation has stabilized, it's time for the Feng Army and the Sichuan Army to evacuate the Divine Pond and make the Divine Pond clean." Lu Jian said in a loud voice. He seemed to be saying this to Ren Xiao, but in fact he was saying it to Tang Yin and Xiao Xuan who were standing aside.

After hearing his words, the originally noisy hall suddenly became silent. People stopped talking and looked at Ren Xiao, Tang Yin, Xiao Xuan and Lu Jian.

Ren Xiao frowned secretly, even for such a casual person, Lu Jian's words felt harsh. Yes, the scourge of Shenchi has indeed been eradicated, and the new king has been elected. It is time for the Feng Army and the Sichuan Army to withdraw to their own country. However, this matter should be raised by the Feng Army and the Sichuan Army themselves. Lu Jian now said it in public, It is clear that we must drive people away. This is too much to use people to move forward and not to use people to move behind. It is a bit like killing a donkey.

Ren Xiao looked embarrassed and remained silent. The other elders whispered to each other. At this time, Tang Yin smiled leisurely and said, "I think Elder Lu is right. Even if Elder Lu doesn't remind me, I will I’m going to find an opportunity to say goodbye to Brother Ren and all the elders.”

Yo! People looked at Tang Yin in unison. The latter said with a smile: "I have been away from the country for a long time, and domestic affairs have been piled up. Now that the danger in Shenchi has been eliminated, and Brother Ren has inherited the throne, it is time for me to return to the country."
