Chapter 22: How about...you try again? (Happy Valentine's Day~)

King Lunnan? Shen Zhui was silent.

He didn't expect that his enemy was actually King Nalunan.

"No wonder the teacher took me on this route, no wonder the opposition voices of the court princes subsided so quickly..." Shen Zhui murmured.

Now he finally understood why King Lunnan was killed so quickly and why no one dared to embarrass him along the way. Even King Liang did not send a killer to target...

All of this is because I am a descendant of Lord Protector Shen Yin!

At this moment, Zhao Xing suddenly looked outside the hall, waved his hand, and said softly: "Let's go, I should go meet Ran from the Ministry of Finance."

"It's time to go see him." Shen Zhui nodded.

Follow Zhao Xing to a side hall on the warship. Kong Yangzhou is already waiting outside the hall, and there are a few vague figures inside the hall, like people from the Ministry of Revenue.

"I see you, Your Majesty." Kong Yangzhou said respectfully.

"Where are the people from the household department?"

"Go back to your lord, he is waiting in the palace."

"Then go in." Zhao Xing stepped in.

Shen Zhui took a deep breath and walked in.

After entering the door, Shen Zhui saw four officials from the Ministry of Revenue, and behind them was a thin, middle-aged man with some white hair.

After being on the run for many years and under tremendous psychological pressure, this middle-aged man's aura was extremely weak. Even though the household department put on new clothes for him, used good medicine, and dressed him up extremely neatly and cleanly, he still showed a trace of decadence. and sluggish happiness

Only the faint outline between the eyebrows and eyes can be seen to be somewhat similar to himself.

"Your Majesty, the Champion." The people from the household cupped their hands and stepped aside.

The middle-aged man raised his head and seemed to notice something in his eyes. He rushed over with a swish and a whimpering sound came out.

"My son..."

Kong Yangzhou, who was hugged, looked at Shen Zhui and the people from Hubu with a confused expression.

Shen Zhui's face was gloomy, "What's going on?"

"Champion Marquis." An official from the Ministry of Revenue said cautiously. "When we found your father, Your Majesty Rao, he was already like this. His soul has been at its limit all year round, and his soul has even been damaged. His cultivation is very unstable. I asked a medical expert to take a look, but we can only treat the symptoms. Your Majesty the Great Rao's state has always been good and bad..."

"But don't worry, Lord Marquis. This situation is not irreversible. We have stepped up our efforts to find a cure. I think it won't be long before your father-in-law will return to his original state."

Shen Zhui didn't say a word. I'm afraid it wasn't long before the household department found Shen Kangwei. He hasn't been cured yet. I'm afraid it's not as simple as theirs.

Zhao Xing waved his hand and said: "You guys go down and don't make any announcement to the public for the time being."

"Yes, we only passed it on to the prince and the marquis' personal guards." The Ministry of Household official explained, bowed his hand again, and quickly retreated.

"Your biological father happens to be the fifth generation, and his name is Shen Kangwei." Zhao Xin. "According to information confirmed by many parties, your father broke through to the Supreme Realm while on the run, took his wife with him, and lived in seclusion. Most of the time, he hid outside."

"Because he was only in the supernatural realm when he escaped, he was not so conspicuous and saved his life."

"But the outside world is not safe. Our territory and army are also there."

"He has been on the run for many years, and he has been living outside the world for a long time in the realm of supernatural powers, which has caused damage to his soul. In this state, I can't help him recover." Zhao Xing sighed lightly.

Seeing Shen Kangwei hugging Kong Yangzhou and sobbing continuously, Shen Zhui felt a trace of pity in his heart.

The case of protecting the country happened one hundred and forty-nine years ago, and the man in front of me has been on the run for at least a hundred years!

But although he escaped, he never escaped very far. He even returned to Dazhou from time to time, obviously hoping to overturn the verdict.

Shen Zhui has personally experienced how powerful Da Zhou's pursuit is. After more than a hundred years of escaping, it is considered a miracle that he can survive until now!

But Shen Zhui suddenly remembered something. Shen Kang had been running away for more than a hundred years, so how old was he?

He had no idea about his memories before the age of eleven.

Seemingly seeing Shen Zhui's doubts, Zhao Xing explained: "Shen Kangwei sent you back to the world twenty-two years ago. Your mother should have died after giving birth to you."

"Hubu guessed that he entered the world from time to time, maybe because he wanted to leave blood to the Shen family. After all, he is the fifth generation and is within the scope of the court's pursuit. But you count it as the sixth generation grandson, time After such a long time, as long as we are not together, we may still be able to survive.”

Shen Zhui nodded. Clan, clan, blood, flesh and blood are extremely important to some people in this world. Obviously Shen Kangwei is such a person.

The Shen family was killed, and after more than a hundred years, the descendants are probably almost dead, so it is normal to have a descendant.

As for why he wanted to be sent back to the world, it should be the nostalgia for his homeland. After all, it would be difficult for people who were not born in this world to grow up outside of it.

"Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that my adoptive father picked me up because he did it deliberately to keep the name Shen." Shen Zhui thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhui felt complicated.

Calculating it this way, it was only through the blessing of the Shen family that I was able to become the Champion Marquis. I was able to avoid so much trouble. Even the Seventh Prince Ji Chen came to make friends in person, and there may be such a relationship!

It was an unjust, false and wrongful conviction that shocked the whole world. A great hero of the country was unjustly killed, and now the verdict was to be overturned. Shen Kangwei was already like this, so all the compensation from the court was borne by him!

Shen Zhui found that he could no longer face his biological father as calmly as before.

"Yangzhou, please send him to my warship and leave him to the care of my sworn sister." Shen Zhui looked at Kong Yangzhou and said.

"Okay." Kong Yangzhou nodded and immediately left with Shen Kangwei.

Zhao Xing did not disturb Shen Zhui, and just let him think about it for a while.

After a moment, seeing Shen Zhui raise his head, Zhao Xing asked, "Have you thought about it."

"Teacher, my disciple has thought about it." Shen Zhui nodded slowly. "Teacher, please tell me the complete list of people who framed the Shen family."

"I can tell you the list, but you have to think clearly. Do you have to take revenge? Shen Kang sent you to Liangzhou thousands of miles away. I'm afraid he just wants you to live a safe life."

"If you pretend that this has never happened, there will be a lot of resistance in the court, but if you start seeking revenge, those people will definitely not let you go."

"But if disciple is patient, those enemies will not let me go if they find out that I am a threat." Shen Zhui said calmly.

If it was just an ordinary skirt, even if it was discovered that he was a descendant of the Shen family, he would not be a threat to the high-ranking powerful men. But now, he is a champion and has such a high talent, he is already a threat!

Even if he doesn't come to see his enemies, their enemies will definitely not let him go!

Zhao Xing didn't seem surprised by Shen Zhui's choice. A holy page appeared in his hand, "In addition to King Lunnan, the imperial court will also count the three kings who are about to be eliminated in this matter. However, these three The matter of being a crown prince has nothing to do with the case of Duke Shen."

"Because it involves a lot and also affects His Majesty's face, the Supervision Department will not continue to expand on this case."

"It's fair to settle the case with the four great kings and compensate me with the title of champion." Shen Zhui laughed at himself.

"In order to prevent others from being alerted, if you want to kill the rest of the people on the list in the future, there will be no extra power to help you. It all depends on you. Do you understand?" Zhao Xin?

"Student understands." Shen Zhui nodded. Since even King Zhao is like this, the enemy must have a different background and must be at the king level.

Every king is considered a powerful person who is above the worldly rules and possesses special privileges. If you die in Shen Zhui's hands, retaliation for retaliation will mean nothing good to others.

But if the imperial court mobilizes those who are not the main conspirators to confer kings on a large scale for the sake of Shen Zhui, it will cause dissatisfaction.

Maybe this seems unfair, but from the perspective of a strong king, if the court pursues a character and wants to implicate the king because of an old case, the strong man also feels it is unfair!

Why? Because the strong think they should have privileges and be superior to others! It is because Da Zhou gave them this kind of privilege that they respect the royal family of Da Zhou and fight against foreign forces!

Why should we destroy this privilege just for one character?

The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the vassal states are co-owners! This is the foundation of why Kyushu recovered so quickly!

Just like destroying ancestral clans and abandoning temple fairs was opposed by many princes, the privileges of the top powerful cannot be destroyed, which is also the consensus of many feudal lords! Of course, this cannot be taken from the surface, it is just an unwritten rule between reaching the top level.

This is the advantage and disadvantage of the enfeoffment system. It is used to quell wars, enfeoff princes and kings, and stabilize the situation as quickly as possible.

As long as the Zhou royal family remains strong, it will be stable. For example, the Human Emperor can order King Zhao to kill King Lunnan, which is prestige. Thousands of years later, it may be possible to achieve the goal of all rights being vested in the royal family, and any powerful person must act according to one rule. But for now, it’s still not going to be in school.

Because after the enfeoffment, it will be extremely difficult to regain the rights!

Shen Zhui understood this very well, so he didn't even ask why the court didn't kill all the people involved. This matter can only be handled by oneself, and it cannot be handled in the name of the old case of the Protector.

"Although you understand, I cannot give you all the people on this list at once. Some people are not something you can deal with now. Even knowing about them would be a disaster for you." Zhao Xin. "When you enter Wuhou's secret realm, I will tell you the first list of names."

"Yes." Shen Zhui nodded. Although he really wanted to know who was there in Qiu Randi, but now that the teachers were gone, it was no good knowing that now, Shen Zhui could only endure it for now.

On the way back to his warship, Shen Zhui kept asking himself whether it was worth it. But some things cannot be measured entirely in terms of gains and losses.

At least, not in this case.

"Zhui'er, who came just now?" Shen Wuniang saw Shen Zhui walking in and walked up quickly. "I heard Lan'er, that's..."

Shen Zhui nodded: "Yes, he is my biological father. His surname is also Shen, and his name is Shen Kangwei."

"She looks a little not sober. I guess she has suffered a lot. It's so pitiful..." A trace of pity appeared on Shen Wuniang's face.

"Okay, you go in first, you're a woman, why don't you wear your coat in front of Zhui'er." The adoptive father, Shen Shan, glared at his wife.

Shen Wuniang walked into the inner room with a dark face and said nothing.

Shen Zhui couldn't help but laugh and cry. Since his adoptive mother and step-sisters came back, his adoptive father seemed to be completely new. It seemed that this was his original character. Although he tried to reorganize his father's relationship on the outside, he was often scolded by his adoptive mother secretly.

Feeling that his adoptive father and stepmother actually cared about his emotions, Shen Zhui felt warm in his heart.

Perhaps I have some tolerance for revenge for the Shen family, but my enemies will not let go of my helplessness. Or maybe it's to repay the favor and make the idea clear. However, the adopted father, adopted mother and adopted sister in front of him are the people he really wants to protect.

"Father, I'm fine." Shen Zhui smiled.

"If it's really okay, you won't mean to think you're okay." Shen Shan smiled and shook his head.

"..." Shen Zhui couldn't help but was speechless. When did his adoptive father's logic become so strong?

But when I think about it, his adoptive father Chen Shan and his adoptive mother have now been piled up with treasures by him to the Spiritual Bridge Realm. Now they are slowly getting younger, and of course they are not so easy to deal with.

"Go and see him. It's a happy event to see him again after a long absence and reunite his relatives." Chen Shan said with a smile.

"good."

…………

On the fourth day of May, the capital is in sight.

On the endless horizon, a huge city suddenly appeared.

Standing on the warship, Shen Zhui could feel the majesty of the capital city.

Originally, Shen Zhui thought that the Great Summer Palace he had seen was tall enough, but compared with this capital city, it was completely down a level!

The green city wall stretches for thousands of miles, and there are faint secret formation patterns on the entire city wall. Even if he can see it from hundreds of miles away, Shen Zhui can feel the mysterious fluctuations faintly coming from the city wall, which makes people's heart tremble.

The clouds and mist are floating in the middle of the city wall, and the entire capital seems to be built on it!

The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the center of power in the entire land of Kyushu, is also the most powerful force and the seat of the Royal Family of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Ruled over the Nine Provinces and commanded for hundreds of years, this is the holy land that all strong men yearn for!

"Your Highness, this is the capital." Tanlang was also a little excited. "The city wall has the most powerful magic circle, a peerless pass that can never be breached from the outside, and even the elephants of the entire Eastern Continent can be changed at any time."

"I once heard that in order to test the strength of the city wall formation, the Ministry of Industry invited fifty true gods to attack ten city gates continuously. After three nights, the true gods almost fell down from exhaustion, but the city gates were intact!"

"Moreover, the capital is chosen as the center of the entire Kyushu, and it is also the center of the world. It is the best blessed place. As long as you can live in the capital, even if you don't practice, you will naturally reach the advanced state in ten or twenty years!" Greedy Wolf said.

"It's pretty awesome." Shen Zhui also rubbed his hands excitedly.

"By the way, Greedy Wolf."

"Can my protector enter this capital?"

He suddenly thought of this problem. He didn't find his protector along the way, but Greedy Wolf told him that the protector was always following him. King Zhao also acquiesced.

Now that we are about to enter the capital, can our protector follow us in?

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Tanlang said with a smile. "My Daxia Academy has been standing on the land of Kyushu for a long time. I have prepared many and many identities, and I have never caused trouble, and it is beneficial to the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is very simple for a strong person to obtain some identities."

"So you can go in?" Shen Zhui's eyes lit up. There is a mixture of dragons and snakes in the capital. He will definitely face various challenges after entering. With or without guardians, safety is a completely different concept.

"Of course." Tanlang nodded with a smile.

"Um..." Shen Zhui glanced around and said, "Can I meet the true god? If not, forget it."

"This..." Greedy Wolf is the reason. "I can't make the decision."

"But the conversation between His Highness and me should be able to be heard..."

"Then it won't work." Shen Zhui shook his head regretfully.

"Actually, there is another way." Greedy Wolf's voice said.

"Huh? Come and listen?" Shen Zhui raised his eyebrows.

"Your Highness, you can try to curse a word or two, maybe... Kacha~"

A crisp sound of bones was heard, and Greedy Wolf's head turned back strangely.

Seeing this scene, Shen Zhui couldn't help being startled. He looked around, but found nothing.

"What a bad idea you have here." Shen Zhui didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Obediently, just click, click, and take action without a trace. If you want to kill yourself with this method, it is simply impossible to prevent it.

Subconsciously staying away from Greedy Wolf, Shen Zhui touched his nose and muttered: "It's not me, it has nothing to do with me, I don't have this idea..."

Greedy Wolf straightened his head, walked to Shen Zhui's side with a pale face, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's indeed a bad idea. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com Your Highness, it's better not to be curious..."

"Your Highness, do you think this technique is familiar..." Greedy Wolf said cautiously.

"Huh?" Shen Zhui suddenly remembered that the last time Tanlang seemed to be chatting, someone had his neck broken.

"Hiss~" Shen Zhui gasped,

My protector won’t be King Zhao!

But after looking around, I didn't find any air contours.

"Unlikely." Shen Zhui immediately shook his head again.

It is impossible for King Zhao to accompany him all the time. After entering the capital, he will leave after holding the ceremony. The new establishment of Zhao State still has a lot of troubles. If he leaves the fiefdom for a long time, the Baoqi sect community will continue to cause trouble, and if he is a protector, he may have followed him long ago.

Obviously, the true god protector arranged by Daxia Academy is someone else.

After a pause, Shen Zhui held his chin and said, "Gandan Lang, how about... you try again? Just curse King Zhao a few times, if it's really him..."

"Crack~" A sound of bones breaking sounded more crisply than before. Like Greedy Wolf, Shen Zhui's head turned strangely and sharply, facing behind him. A faint silhouette of a human figure appeared behind Shen Zhui.

Greedy Wolf: "..."
