A Cai's work: The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1955 Counterattack, We Can't Keep Getting Beaten
The issue of Nanling changing the general to attack Taicheng caused a lot of controversy but it ended up being nothing. Of course, it was not because Emperor Nanling disagreed, but because he had no right to decide.
The fact that Nanling Jinfan knew the location of the treasure of the previous dynasty was brought up again. Both Nanling Jinfan and Nanling became targets of the other three countries. Dongling was even more rude and directly demanded that the Emperor of Nanling hand over the criminal Nanling Jinfan. They would take him back and imprison him.
Although the emperor of Beiling has been appointed, the internal affairs have not yet been settled. However, this does not affect their pressure on Nanling. With the help of Xiling, the two countries can join forces to compete with Dongling.
Nanling and Xiling's intentions were very clear, they also wanted Nanling to hand over Nanling Jinfan. However, they did not hand him over to Dongling, but to them, as they were also victims, and the two countries once again put pressure on Nanling to pay them the compensation it had promised before.
Seeing the tense situation in the four countries, the other cities all stayed out of the matter and protected themselves. Even the treasures of the previous dynasty could not stop them. Even Yucheng, which had a marriage relationship with Nanling, did not come forward to cheer for Nanling.
Power and wealth are good, but if they don’t have the life to enjoy them, then it has nothing to do with them no matter how good they are.
Nanling never thought that Beiling and Xiling would actually ignore the previous alliance and join Dongling in putting pressure on them. For a time, everyone in Nanling was in danger, and the Emperor of Nanling was overwhelmed.
Nanling Jinfan couldn't be handed over. But if he didn't, he couldn't bear the pressure of the three kingdoms. Beiling and Xiling were fine, as they each had their own mortal enemies and couldn't spare the energy and troops to deal with him, but Dongling was different...
Nanling sent an army of 100,000 to Taicheng, but did not gain any advantage. Dongling then sent another 100,000 reinforcements to Taicheng. Together with Feng Liyou's 50,000 troops, there were 15 armies in total, which meant they were preparing to counterattack Nanling.
The situation on the Nanling border was tense, and the army was driven out of Taicheng. However, Dongling did not give up and continued to attack Nanling. Nanling called for a stop, saying that Dongling was invading Nanling. But...
Wang Jinling found a map of Taicheng from somewhere. From the map, it can be seen that the two cities and three towns on the border of Nanling are actually the territory of Taicheng. Dongling’s military expedition this time has a legitimate reason.
Taicheng has surrendered to Dongling, and Dongling is trying to help Taicheng regain its territory.
The Emperor of Nanling was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot. Although Jinxing had taken a lot of territory from Taicheng when he attacked it, it was far from being as large as two cities and three towns. Dongling was a robber.
But Dongling had a map as evidence and records of the city's history. Although Nanling also produced evidence to prove that the two cities and three towns belonged to Nanling, Dongling didn't believe it and insisted that the evidence in their hands was false.
Nanling was so angry that he realized once again the sadness of being weak. It was obvious that the evidence in their hands was real and Dongling's was fake, but Dongling had the final say.
Hate it!
The people of Nanling were united for a rare time, gritted their teeth and said: Fight!
At the critical moment of the country's survival, all factions knew that now was not the time to fight for personal interests. If Nanling did not unite, they would just have to wait for the country to be destroyed and their families to be ruined.
beat!
Nanling and Dongling started fighting on the border, while Beiling and Xiling watched the fight without fear of being bullied. The two countries did not send troops, but did not forget to fan the flames.
Emperor Xiling wanted to take this opportunity to send troops to attack Dongling so as to seize back the military and political power. However, Xiling Tianyu would never give him the chance. As soon as Emperor Xiling intended to send troops, Xiling Tianyu proposed to attack the eldest princess.
Is it more important to reclaim one's own territory or to attack Dongling?
In fact, they are all very important, but with Xiling's current national strength, it can't swallow any of them. Even when Xiling attacks Dongling, the eldest princess can join forces with the people of Baigui Palace and directly steal the country.
The issue of Xiling attacking Dongling remained at a stalemate, with no one agreeing or opposing.
When the battle on the border between Nanling and Dongling was fierce, and when the three kingdoms were putting pressure on Nanling to hand over Nanling Jinfan, news suddenly broke that Nanling Jinfan was dead.
Nanling Jinfan is dead!
He died in the small courtyard where he was imprisoned, the cause of death was poisoning!
Dong Ling was the first to jump out and accuse Nan Ling, saying that the Emperor of Nan Ling was inhumane and poisoned his own son. Under the instruction of Wang Jinling, the envoy not only pinned Nan Ling's death on Nan Ling, but also hinted that Nan Ling already knew where the treasure was, so he killed people to silence them.
Nanling Jinfan was the only person who knew the location of the treasure of the previous dynasty according to the rumors. He had been under the care of Nanling. He was fine before, but now he died suddenly. It would be strange if the other three kingdoms did not suspect him.
Nanling is in big trouble now.
"He was too cruel. The Ninth Prince never intended to take his life." Wang Jinling narrowed his eyes. There was still half a cup of tea in his hand, but he had no intention of drinking it.
Fu Lin cried out in injustice: "I didn't kill him." He really didn't do it. Of course he knew that the living Nanling Jinfan was more valuable.
"If it's not you, who else can kill him?" Wang Jinling knew very well that with Nanling Jinfan's methods and shrewdness, no one could take his life quietly. You know...
Nanling Jinfan is not an ordinary person. Even the Ninth Prince has suffered several losses at the hands of Nanling Jinfan.
"I don't know. I really didn't do this." Fu Lin shook his head, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his handsome face.
He would make him know who ruined his plan, and he would pull out the other person's tendons and skin him alive.
"He is more valuable alive, and those who have the ability to kill him will not do it." According to Nanling Jinfan's intelligence, since he knew that there were rumors that he knew about the treasure of the previous dynasty, he would definitely make good use of this opportunity to make a comeback instead of letting others kill him.
Nanling Jinfan would never reveal any useful information until he was sure that he could survive.
"So this matter is very strange. Anyone with a brain knows the value of Nanling Jinfan and will not kill him easily." Fu Lin thought that except for the Ninth Prince, there was probably no one in the world who would want to take Nanling Jinfan's life.
After all, even if Nanling Jinfan told the location of the treasure of the previous dynasty, those people would be suspicious before they got the treasure. Even if they wanted to kill Nanling Jinfan, they would have to wait until they got the treasure.
"You're right. Logically, no one would kill him at this time." Wang Jinling put down the teacup, stood up and paced back and forth in the room...
Fu Lin saw that Wang Jinling had no intention of leaving for the time being, so he knew that Wang Jinling still didn't believe him. Fu Lin smiled bitterly and raised his hand to swear: "I swear to God, I really didn't kill Nanling Jinfan, and I don't know who did it."
"I believe it." Wang Jinling responded straightforwardly, so straightforward that Fu Lin wanted to ask: Do you really believe it?
Then, Wang Jinling changed the subject again: "Fu family descendants, calculate... who is most likely to have taken action."
"Count?" Fu Lin was dumbfounded. Did he hear it wrong?
Wang Jinling nodded seriously: "You are a descendant of the temple, don't you have no such ability?"
Uh... Fu Lin's face was full of black lines and he couldn't say a word.
He really didn’t!
He wanted to inherit the Fu family's abilities, so why would he stay in the officialdom? Naturally, he would become the imperial master like Xiling's imperial master...
