The Choice Queen's

TCQ 29: Lose One Step

The real show has arrived.

“I heard a report that in the southern part of Zichuan, there was a military camp equal to five thousand horsemen. Today I would like to ask for your explanation, Great Lord Zichuan.”

Everyone's eyes were wide. Suri's mother stood up from her chair and glared. The tea cup in his hand fell.

Five thousand troops, equivalent to half the imperial guards present in the palace. This amount exceeds the reasonable limit of the number of troops in the state.

Shen Jinglang immediately knelt before the altar of Nangong Zirui. “Your Majesty, it's just a rumor. Please Your Majesty investigate.”

Woe, if the existence of his dark army is known to the palace, then his plans will be in vain. The bad feeling is right, this is a disaster.

Instead of his plan succeeding, Shen Jinglang instead got into trouble. He had not expected, King Nangong's information turned out to be as fast and as great as this!

“Rumors? Ah, rumors yes.” Nangong Zirui twisted his cup.

“Your Majesty, I was slandered. Zichuan is loyal to the country, where may have illegal troops!”

“Isn't it just a rumor? Why are you so panicked?”

Nangong Zirui suddenly changed his expression. He threw his porcelain cup on the floor until it broke. Everyone became shocked and immediately knelt down while looking down.

“Great Master Shen Jinglang, your regional troops are in the southern part of the city. How could I raise your sister to Queen if that troop would set foot in the capital one day? Shen Jinglang, your courage is so great!”

Emotions real. At this moment, Shen Jinglang and the usually arrogant and arrogant masters of Mochuan and Jinchuan were afraid of the anger of King Nangong, let alone the ministers. All the blood in their bodies was like mongering and their joints were stiff.

Shen Lihua stepped off her podium, kneeling beside Shen Jinglang. “Your Majesty, my brother is slandered. How could he rebel?”

Shen Lihua was dropped from a high place. The situation is out of control. Even her brother was unable to quiver and had difficulty refuting.

From here he realized what Nangong Zirui really looked like. His strength, could not be matched and overcome playfully. He's starting to get scared.

“What's your guarantee?” asked Nangong Zirui.

Nangong Zirui pushed the brothers into a dead end. If it doesn't do something, then it will justify the rumors. If they do something, they have to make sacrifices and have to be willing to suffer a big loss. The current situation will not be easily restored.

Shen Lihua's short wits gave her an idea that incensed the day Shen Jinglang ignited but could not be shown.

“My guarantee is the control of Zichuan defense military forces. Your Majesty, you can take it back as proof of our loyalty!”

“Kakak, quickly submit the token!”

Shen Jinglang was desperate to kill Shen Lihua at this moment. He eventually handed over the force control token to Nangong Zirui and planned to take into account his sister's deeds later. The whole plan is ruined.

Originally Shen Jinglang would provoke everyone regarding the appointment of the queen and dragging the Sword Saint as well as the Four Regions of the State.

When that happens, the Queen Mother will also be affected. His colossal thinking would directly support the idea of Shen Jinglang and King Nangong having to accept it.

But, who would have thought Li Yan instead acted first and now the situation was instead under the control of the King

Nangongs. His five thousand dark forces were prepared long ago, yet were not really ready. If exposed at this time, the losses would be even greater. Shen Jinglang had actually lost by a single step!

“Because you proved your loyalty and innocence, then I will forgive him this time. If rumors spread again, I will not only take special authority, but rather behead you and hang it on the capital square!” nangong Zirui.

“Bawahan not dare. Thank you for the generosity of Your Majesty.”

“I'm tired. Just continue the banquet.”

“Lao Su, what if you take the same steps as Lao Li? Didn't you hoard a lot of treasure and reap a lot of benefits during your time as ruler of Jinchuan? I think it's better than being captured by the King,” Fei Song said slowly. Su Ren snorted offended.

“You think Mochuan is better? I know you this old man likes to hoard gold under your bed. If you're talking about surrendering yourself, you better surrender before the King skins you alive!” Su Ren replied fiercely.

“Aiya, that Shen Jinglang is too greedy. He had no experience of how to balance power. As a result, his wings were cut side by side by the King,” Fei Song continued.

“It's good. At least the arrogant boy already knew losing once,” after Su Ren.

Su Ren and Fei Song actually did not get along, but because they had the same enemies their relationship was sometimes like an old friend. Su Ren and Fei Song had long disliked Shen Jinglang because he was so arrogant and arrogant.

With his young age, Shen Jinglang had always wanted to step on people older than him. Su Ren and Fei Song were often underestimated to the point of annoyance.

Seeing him lose this one time, both of them were satisfied. People say the enemy is a friend. Shen Jinglang was too greedy, he had ambition but was not careful.

It seemed that Shen Jinglang was underestimating King Nangong, he was underestimating the hidden power that lay beneath his robe.

“By the way, isn't Lao Li still profitable? Although he gave up authority, Danchuan would remain led by him until the King appointed a governor from the court. His adopted daughter was also a confidant of the King. Although her biological daughter would not be looked at again, she could at least still be alive. You could say his surrender was worth it,” said Su Ren.

“Talking about profits, the one who received the most was the King. Lao Su, we have to be careful!”

Li Yan who heard the conversation of Su Ren and Fei Song only sighed and shook his head. These two rulers by his side were greedy old foxes.

After what she and Shen Jinglang experienced, the two old foxes refused to repent. It seemed, they had to experience disaster first in order to repent.

Meanwhile, Nangong Zirui returned to Qihua Palace with Wang Bi and Li Fengran. His mood suddenly changed very well today.

Along the way, he kept on smiling a little. It feels, the show he prepared so far successfully presented and his wish fulfilled.

Well, even though he couldn't completely take back what should be his, but at least the results didn't disappoint. The thing that pleased him the most was Li Yan's surrender to him. For the sake of her daughter's forgiveness, she was willing to give up everything.

“Ckck…. The woman was willing to do anything to get to her position. She even broke her own brother's wings, truly a cruel woman!” decak Li Fengran's.

“Who are you angry with?”

“Calon ratumu.”

“He got his wish, I got what I wanted too. I think this is pretty good.”

“Your Majesty, why don't you all attack Jinchuan and Mochuan?”

“Xiao Feng, conquering those three regions takes time. Can't be done in a hurry.”

Actually since watching the show at the banquet earlier, Li Fengran's mood wasn't very good. She had come to see Li Shiyu, but her sister had not come and instead her father was begging for her.

Li Fengran so could not see her envious and hateful expression that made her have the heart to poison her own brother. Li Fengran's heart was uncomfortable.

“Xiao Feng, I know what you are thinking,” Nangong Zirui said.

“What?”

The man gave her a piece of paper with an address.

“Pigeon Street, Wangyi Restaurant. The woman you are looking for is there.”
