Chapter 156: Sending You to the Sky (24)

After that day, Shen Minghuan forgot all about food and sleep, used the same energy as when he started his own business, and finally made a lot of money in a short period of time.

The money was divided into three parts, and even the future Jin Kingdom got a share. This allowed Shen Minghuan to carry water equally.

Earning this money is easier than imagined, because he is now the emperor and he can raid homes.

The court was renovated, and the Yong Kingdom began to develop prosperously. It is no exaggeration to say that it is changing with each passing day.

The courtiers suddenly felt a little embarrassed when they thought about their previous choice of death rather than surrender. Fortunately, everyone was embarrassed together. Looking at it this way, those who are not embarrassed or the degree of shame is relatively excessive.

Nie Ge sent away the third wave of visitors today. He explained "I really don't know" many times. He received the expressions of "Look at you, you are still pretending at this time" from his colleagues. He was exhausted physically and mentally.

He went to Nie Shiyun's yard, picked up someone who was climbing a tree and beat him, "Why didn't you tell me that Your Majesty captured the entire Yan Kingdom without spending a single soldier, and that Mr. Zhou was loyal to him?" ?”

Nie Shiyun, who was beaten inexplicably, covered his buttocks with an unconvinced look on his face. He was slightly stunned when he heard this, "Ah? Didn't I say that?"

"You didn't." Nie Ge said expressionlessly.

If they had known that Shen Minghuan was so capable, they would have overthrown Shen Wei and welcomed His Highness the Crown Prince back to the country.

Nie Shiyun scratched his head and said, "Okay, maybe I forgot, but you can see this kind of thing with eyes, right? Could anyone still misunderstand that Your Majesty surrendered to the Yan State and borrowed the Yan State's troops to invade the Yong State?"

Nie Shiyun said and made himself laugh. He laughed so hard, "No one should be so stupid. Yu Wenshan's attitude clearly shows that he doesn't take Yan Guo seriously. And Mr. Xie, he No idiot would think that this is the attitude towards your majesty."

The corners of Nie Ge's eyes twitched fiercely, and he felt that every word he said was mocking him, so he couldn't bear it and beat Nie Shiyun again.

There are indeed many doubts, but who dares to guess that "Yan Kingdom already belongs to His Majesty"? The national power of the Yan State is still higher than that of the Yong State, and they would never dare to dream of such a beautiful state.

But in any case, the reform was originally going to encounter huge resistance, and even Zhou Yan had to use force to suppress it before it could be successfully implemented. But in the Yong Kingdom, no one objected to stop him, as if he was afraid that if he hesitated for a while, Shen Minghuan would run back to the Yan Kingdom with the money.

Zhou Yan single-handedly aroused the crisis awareness of all the courtiers of the Yong Kingdom, and his efficiency and cooperation were unprecedented. After all, their wise majesty had other options.

And Shen Minghuan was first ignored and then sent out as a hostage. They didn't even have the confidence to play the emotional card. This man now stands at such a high level, and Yong Guo did not help him in the slightest.

*

January passed by in a hurry, and the huge changes in Yong and Yan countries spread to every corner.

As the rebels in various countries rioted and gathered consciously, what Shen Minghuan had done slowly came to light.

But now he is the second in the Three Kingdoms, and he is no longer afraid of exposing his strength. What he should be afraid of now is his enemies.

Zhou He was practicing martial arts on the top of the mountain.

Jin State rewarded him with a mansion and beautiful maidservants, but he didn't like living there. He found a hill on the outskirts of Jindu City, lived in a cottage, and was self-sufficient by hunting.

The brothers who had followed him in the rebellion respected their boss's hobby. Although they would occasionally go to the mountains to stay with him for a period of time, they would never give up the high bed and soft pillows in the city.

Liang Da watched for a long time.

If he does not advance in martial arts, he will retreat. Although it has only been less than four months, the abundance of fish and meat has already made his belly fat, and the fine wine has also made his footsteps weak. Now I can barely even draw the bow.

Liang Da looked at Zhou He's neat figure and couldn't tell if he felt any regrets in his heart. He stepped forward with a smile: "Boss, you really can't take any time off. Now that we are nobles, we no longer have to fight with swords. Why are you still practicing this?"

Zhou He sheathed his sword and said coldly: "That was you. I never admitted it."

He is at odds with the nobles, how can he accept himself as his enemy? But one wrong step and one wrong step have now become irreversible, and there is no going back.

At first, Liang Da said that he wanted to take revenge on the nobleman who had hurt his family and killed his sister, so they killed the nobleman's family. Liang Da kidnapped the female family members and used them as slaves to command them. He acquiesced.

If there is one, there are two. Liang Da has a noble female family member as a slave, and they flatter him a little, and the others are naturally happy to see him.

They don't even feel that they are at fault, they just feel that they have found a more suitable and more satisfying method of revenge.

Zhou He acquiesced to Liang Da once, so naturally he could only acquiesce a second time and a third time.

The former oppressed became the new oppressor, and they fell in love with the right to control the life and death of others. They convinced themselves in a very short period of time and completed the change of position and identity.

The desires are endless. If you have slaves, you want more slaves, you want exquisite houses, you want more delicious food, you want a life of drunkenness and dreams.

So when the Jin royal family extended an olive branch, they hesitated.

Zhou He discovered something was wrong early and was vaguely aware of the crisis. It was another kind of cruelty that was not like the flames of war, but was wrapped in honey.

But at that time, his Mingshan had been corroded, and he was left to persevere.

If he had been weaker and fully joined the carnival, he might not have to be so tossing and turning in embarrassment;

If he could be firmer and show the determination of a strong man to cut off his wrist, he might be able to stop his losses in time and reorganize Mingshan.

But he was unwilling to give up his persistence, and he was also reluctant to give up these brothers who had been with him through life and death.

Later, they were encouraged by Liang Da to accept the recruitment, and Zhou He could only be pushed to join Jin State.

He struggled with brotherhood and moral persistence, and in the end he only tortured himself.

Liang Da was most disgusted with his aloof and indifferent demeanor. He said sternly: "I do it all for the brothers! What's wrong with this kind of life? Boss, you have thought about the kind of life you used to have with a knife on your neck. With that, Why don't we let the brothers enjoy it? Now we don't have to worry about food and clothing, and we can do whatever we want. Isn't this the purpose of our war? We have achieved it, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

Zhou He lowered his eyes slightly. Even though Liang Da shouted so loudly, his attitude was still calm and casual, revealing his unwavering determination, "I don't want to argue with you, Liang Da, I only want to ask one thing - are you really Did you ever have a sister?"

The reason why he agreed to Liang Da's ridiculous move was because the other party cried out that his sister was tortured to death extremely cruelly and was buried without any good flesh on her body.

Liang Da's angry expression froze slightly for a moment, and then became even more excited, "Zhou He, what do you mean, do you think I would deceive you with such a thing?"

Zhou He nodded and said calmly: "Sorry."

He couldn't tell whether he believed it or not in his heart. He hoped that it was false, so that there would be one less unfortunate girl in the world. But he also hoped that it was true, so that at least he wouldn't have reached this point. Seems too pathetic.

He turned to leave when he suddenly heard Liang Da's voice behind him, which was as cold as a poisonous snake: "Zhou He, the young master you have been refusing to tell me is the new emperor of the Yong Kingdom, Shen Minghuan, right?"

Liang Da knew that their previous invincibility was all due to a certain "young master", but only Zhou He knew the true identity of this person, and Zhou He refused to tell him no matter what.

Jin State offered a high price of one thousand taels of gold, but Zhou He remained silent.

If it weren't for Zhou He's good skills, and the group of people on Mingshan Mountain enjoyed a good life thanks to him but only recognized Zhou He as the boss, he would have sent Zhou He to the dungeon and tortured him, and he couldn't believe it.

Zhou He paused, "What are you talking about?"

"Boss, are you still pretending? It has been spread all over the world. Let me tell you, General Wang Xiongyi of the Yan Kingdom has led an army to form an alliance with the Jin Kingdom to cooperate in a joint crusade against the Yong Kingdom." Liang Da's voice was full of joy.

In his opinion, the combined strength of the two countries must be greater than that of Yong, and Shen Minghuan is destined to die.

Zhou He clenched the handle of the knife. He had been living on the mountain and had really not known what was going on down the mountain for a long time.

Liang Da's sighing voice came from behind, "Boss, I am really grateful to you for saving me, more than once."

After Shen Minghuan dies, Zhou He should be able to give up, right? You can continue to enjoy happiness with them and still be the best brothers.

Zhou He glanced at him lightly, "Young master will not lose."

He knew that person's unpredictable abilities very well. No matter who the enemy was, Shen Minghuan would never lose.

"How do you know the identity of the young master?"

Before Liang Da could get angry at the last sentence, he immediately replied with gloating: "Yu Wenshan sent out news that he wanted the rebel armies of Yong and Yan to join him. Hidden in the Jin Kingdom, bandits everywhere responded. "

"Who doesn't know that Yu Wenshan is Emperor Yong's favorite general? He was originally a small bandit leader who was born as a slave, but he became a general. It is said that every time he goes on an expedition, Emperor Yong will prepare for him twice as many weapons as the enemy. We have troops, plenty of food and fodder, and extremely sophisticated weapons, and there will be many rewards after we return.”

Liang Da continued: "As for Wu Meng, I remember that the boss also helped him, right? He is now Yu Wenshan's number one general, attacking cities and ponds for him."

He wanted to anger Zhou He, but after Zhou He listened quietly, he still looked as calm as ever.

After Liang Da left, it rained on the mountain.

Zhou He looked up at the dense raindrops and suddenly felt a little confused.

He had imagined seeing Shen Minghuan again countless times. Maybe that person would ask him bitterly why he rebelled, maybe that person would angrily scold him for being ungrateful, maybe that person would just look at him with disappointed eyes and say nothing...

But he never thought about this - Shen Minghuan would have other confidants, and he was not so irreplaceable.

Zhou He pulled out his knife and waved it in the rain, with a hint of fierce hatred in his brows.

If Liang Da could see this scene, he would be very happy. He tried but couldn't make Zhou He change his expression. Now this man is finally angry.

Zhou He didn't blame Wu Meng, let alone Shen Minghuan.

But he did not like the words "Yuwenshan".
