Be a reckless man in the martial arts word game

Chapter 417: The King, the Swordsman

An old saying goes: "In ancient times, when the people didn't know it was a palace, they lived in mausoleums. It moistened the place and hurt the people, so the holy king used it as a palace."

Anyone who wants to be king and hegemony in the world does not fail to build a palace first.

On a larger scale, it helps to solidify the destiny of the country. On a smaller scale, if you don't build a majestic and grand residence, how can you show the dignity of a king?
Just because he has more than five hundred concubines?

Although the palace of the Shang Kingdom was large, it gave people a very depressing feeling.

At least 90% of the people in the entire palace don't want to stay here. The concubines feel that living here will make them like caged birds that cannot fly out. The eunuchs feel that living here will always make them angry. The noble person lives in the first two places.

Not to mention the warriors, every day they are on duty in the palace is a day when their martial arts stagnates.

The restrictions here are too strong, and no one can improve their martial arts under such circumstances by their own ability.

Of course, the person who wanted to leave the palace the most was actually Lord Shang.

As in the past, he followed General Shence to learn swordsmanship in Yulin Garden.

General Shence is the best swordsman in the Shang Kingdom and the highest martial artist in the Shang Kingdom. As his disciple, he should be able to see the truth.

But in fact, it has been twenty years since Shang Jun started learning swordsmanship at the age of six, and he still hasn't developed even a trace of internal strength.

It's all because of the damn palace ban!
"General, I want to leave the palace."

This is the seventy-seventh time Shang Jun has said this sentence this year.

Every time Lord Shang said this, General Shence would prostrate himself to the ground, put his hands together in front of his forehead, and knock it down hard.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent, please be patient."

He was only sure of protecting Lord Shang within the palace, but not anywhere outside the palace.

Sweat dripped from his forehead and fell on the sword. In the shining light, Shang Jun saw himself panting.

He said silently: "A king hiding in the palace is still a king?"

When he was a child, he learned the way of kings. The book said: "The ancient writers used three paintings to connect them and call them kings. The three are heaven, earth and man; and the one who understands them is the king."

The king in ancient times could lead his people to a state of eight wildernesses and nine states, and no outsiders dared to invade.

If the king's anger is provoked, the six divisions will move away.

The current king, under the pressure of the three religions, has lost the ability to move the six divisions. He can only huddle in the palace to avoid the saint's calculations.

General Shence burst into tears when he heard what Lord Shang said. He took out something from his arms, held it in both hands and raised it above his head: "Please take back the Tiance Seal."

It's not that Lord Shang can't practice martial arts, it's that Lord Shang left him the only opportunity to improve martial arts within the confines of the palace!

"Don't say this again!" Mr. Shang puffed his sleeves, seeming a little sullen.

After taking two steps, he came back and pointed at General Shence's nose and said: "I will give you the Tiance Seal, so you can improve your martial arts and strive to protect me and conquer the world one day, instead of weeping like a woman here. .”

"Yes! I will go to pieces to repay your kindness!"

The situation in the palaces of the Five Kingdoms was the same. All the kings left the opportunity to practice martial arts in the palace to themselves. Only King Shang gave the Tiance Seal to an outsider.

What kind of trust is this? What an honor?
The importance of the country is entrusted to one person.

If external forces like the Three Religions are excluded, within a few years, the top mountain realms of the other four countries will be greatly weakened by wasting their time in the palace. Only the Shence generals of the Shang Kingdom will become stronger and stronger.

At that time, the Shang Kingdom might have the possibility of sweeping the world...

In such a decision, General Shence saw not only the trust in him, but also the emperor's faint disobedience to the three religions.

This is the courage of a king who is unwilling to be subordinated by others, but at the same time... it is also the cause of his death!
The three religions are very mysterious, each has its own way of seeing into the future, and also has magical powers that can probe people's hearts. General Shence has been worried that if he leaves the palace, Lord Shang will be seen through by people from the three religions.

Better yet, someone will secretly manipulate you like a puppet. If it's bad, you'll die.

Just like the previous king of the Yue Kingdom, his death was inexplicable and the people who died were panic-stricken.

The history books have long written about how dark the hands of the Three Religions are. They were able to reach their current position above the Five Kingdoms only by stepping on numerous bones.

There are also many royal bones.

Therefore, the five countries are now willing to give up their border dominance and keep the mountain realm in the palace. This is largely to prevent the three religions from making any other dirty tricks.

"I heard that the three religions have recently focused their attention on the Western Paradise and ignored the secular world. Maybe it would be okay to leave the palace at this time?" Lord Shang still did not want to give up the idea of ​​leaving the palace.

"Absolutely not! When thinking about the three religions, don't look at what they are doing now, but look at what they were doing ten years ago, because they probably figured out what happened today ten years ago." General Shence was still Daoming Awesome, words to dissuade.

The scene between the monarch and his ministers suddenly became cold.

At this moment, a eunuch quickly ran into the Yulin Garden.

"Your Majesty, Hou Zhewei captured the Mohist tycoon when he was setting up the Kacha people. He has been escorted to Xialing Cave at this time."

"Legalist Han Hai requested to leave the palace and visit Xialing Grottoes."

"Impossible." General Shence expressed his opinion in an extremely disrespectful manner before Lord Shang spoke.

The main reason was that the news that Zhewei Hou captured the Mo family giant made him lose his temper. What does this amount to... It is equivalent to a person who has never practiced martial arts taking down a famous figure in the world.

General Shence bowed his hands.

"It is absolutely impossible to defeat the Mohist giant with Zheweihou's level. I'm afraid there is some fraud involved. Please be careful, Your Majesty."

Shang Jun said neither happy nor angry: "Zheweihou is also a mountain climbing state. How can you not defeat the Mohist giant? General, don't want to gain the ambition of others and destroy the prestige of your own people."

"There is also a gap between mountaineering realms. To Zheweihou's kind of mountaineering, for a Mohist giant who has been famous all over the world for a long time, he is just like a child who doesn't know martial arts."

"That's enough!" Shang Jun's face showed displeasure visible to the naked eye.

He didn't want to listen to General Shence's words anymore and gave orders directly to the eunuch.

"I agree with Han Hai's request."

"Also, prepare a set of regular clothes for me. I will go out of the palace with him."

Before Shang Jun walked out of Yulin Garden, he paused for a moment.

He didn't look back, but he spoke to the person behind him.

"I hope that General Shence can advance bravely instead of looking forward and backward."

"Of course, if it turns out... that my middle path has collapsed, you can go to the clan to support a loyal king, worship the Buddha every day, and don't let him have other thoughts."

It’s not that Shang Jun can’t act.

For the sake of the overall interests of the country, he could go to Lingshan without shame and cry, begging Buddhism to lead the Shang Kingdom.

Anyone can see him as a boneless king.

But the person who taught him the sword, the person who taught Shang Guo the sword, cannot look at it this way.

"When you draw your sword, you can't have any worries."

General Shence remembered what he said when he first taught you swordsmanship.
