Chapter 196: Emperor Kun, Ni's father, arrives in Japan
A few days later.
The main island of Wa, the headquarters of the expeditionary army against Wa.
Madam Shan Meixian of Dongming and Princess Shan Wanjing of Dongming, along with hundreds of generals, masters, and Koga and Iga ninjas of the Japanese expeditionary army, marched to the front of the camp in a mighty procession to welcome Ni Kun and his entourage with great ceremony.
"Shan Meixian [Shan Wanjing] greets you, sir!"
The little devil in Ni Kun's mind ignored the suppression of the golden Buddha and waved the steel fork and shouted:
"You have to call me daddy!"
The little angel is full of righteousness and holy light:
“Strongly agree!”
Ni Kun's thoughts moved, and the golden Buddha's light burst forth, suppressing the demon angel. He looked calm as he looked at the big basil falling in front of him. Shan Meixian, whose appearance and figure were quite similar to Zhu Yuyan, said calmly:
"Everyone, stand up. Meixian, you are now the leader of an army, and you will be the leader of a country in the future. Even if you meet me, you don't need to perform such a great ceremony."
Shan Meixian pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes swept across Zhu Yuyan behind Ni Kun, and then said to Ni Kun:
"If it weren't for you, I would have become the plaything of the Japanese emperor, and Wan Jing would have been unable to escape his clutches.
"Thanks to the help of the young master, my mother and I were able to escape the control of the Japanese emperor and become the masters of our own destiny. We are able to have such good fortune today, thanks to the support of the young master.
"So no matter now or in the future, no matter how my status and position change, I must be doubly respectful in front of you, sir."
Shan Wanjing, who was dressed in men's clothes and looked like a handsome young man, nodded repeatedly:
"That's what I thought."
Shan Meixian might have some other thoughts in her mind.
Shan Wanjing didn't have so many thoughts, and her gratitude towards Ni Kun was quite pure.
When Ni Kun defeated the Japanese army, he supported Shan Meixian to take charge of the army and gave all the seized money and grain to Shan Meixian. Later, he even found hundreds of thousands of taels of gold from somewhere and gave it all to Shan Meixian and her daughter as military supplies.
Such deep affection and loyalty made Shan Wanjing feel that her biological father was no more than this - of course, her biological father was a worthless person, and comparing her biological father to Ni Kun was simply an insult to him.
Besides, if I call him dad, the seniority seems a bit confusing?
Shan Wanjing thought this in her heart and secretly glanced at Zhu Yuyan.
After a year, Queen Yin seems even more youthful and charming.
That smooth, firm, crystal clear skin was even better than her own. Not to mention standing next to her mother Shan Meixian, even when standing next to her, Shan Wanjing, they looked like a pair of sisters, which made Shan Wanjing envious and a little jealous.
She thought that if she had time, she could secretly seek advice from Queen Yin on how to maintain her beauty and take care of her skin without telling her mother. After being exposed to the wind and sun and leading troops in battles for the past six months, her skin was not as tender as before and had become a little rough.
“You guys…”
Ni Kun shook his head and smiled, then flicked his sleeves and lifted up Shan Meixian and Shan Wanjing with a gentle force. He then ordered all the generals to stand up, and then, surrounded by everyone, he walked into the gate of the camp.
The headquarters of the expeditionary army against Japan was built around a castle in the shape of a tenshu.
This castle originally belonged to a high-ranking daimyo, who followed the Japanese emperor and died in Nikun's fusion funeral.
The daimyo's several sons and most of his retainers who followed the army to the war were all wiped out.
After the arrival of the expeditionary army against Japan, they ruthlessly killed all the sons and retainers left behind by the daimyo, and distributed the women to the generals and soldiers in the army. They used the castle as the central military camp and built the headquarters of the expeditionary army against Japan around this relatively large castle.
At this moment, Ni Kun and his party went straight to the castle and came to the meeting hall. Ni Kun naturally sat on the main seat.
Zhu Yuyan, Kanan, Wen Caiting, Bai Qing'er, Xiaoqing, and Tsunade lined up and stood behind him.
Shan Meixian and Shan Wanjing sat on the left and right below him, and the generals, masters, samurai, and leaders of the Koga and Iga Ninja villages in the army sat down in order below them.
Ni Kun looked around the tent and saw that in the huge military tent, there were some generals and warriors whom he had never seen before.
Among them were people from Japan, as well as generals and masters dressed in Han-style warrior uniforms from the Central Plains. It was unclear whether they were Han or Goguryeo people.
He did not ask about the origins of these newcomers and went straight to the point of this trip:
"How are the people's livelihood on this island now?"
Shan Meixian sighed:
"The fields have not yielded any crops, and now the island is a place where starving people are displaced and corpses are everywhere, almost like a hell on earth.
"Although the two islands of Chikushi and Iyo have not been affected by the mutation for the time being, the harvest this year is only mediocre. In addition, the two islands are small and sparsely populated, so we can't harvest much food and grass. It's difficult to support our army, let alone provide relief to the victims.
"We did everything we could. We sent soldiers to search the mountains for wild vegetables and fruits, even edible grass roots and tree bark, to hunt birds and beasts, and we sent all our warships out to fish and hunt whales. We were able to barely take in more than 20,000 hungry people. We couldn't take in more than that."
She actually has no feelings towards the Japanese.
As the biological daughter of the Queen of Yin and an arms dealer who sells weapons, Shan Meixian's sense of morality is self-evident, and her sympathy is extremely limited. She may be .
The reason why she felt so sympathetic about the tragic situation on the Japanese islands was simply because these Japanese islands were her " promised land".
The people of Wo Island will also be her people in the future.
In Shan Meixian's opinion, there is no better object to rule in the world than the people of the Japanese island.
Their concepts of bloodline and hierarchy are deeply rooted. They are servile and obedient to those in power. However, they are also hardworking, tenacious and down-to-earth. Even if a rice grower cannot even have a rice ball to eat all year round, he will still work in the fields honestly and will never yell: "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born with different races?"
Looking around the world, where can you find such good and obedient people?
But such a good people had to die in the hundreds of thousands or even millions because of an inexplicable disaster.
You have to know that these days, the entire Japanese islands are estimated to have only three or four million people.
Such a devastating loss made Shan Meixian extremely heartbroken. She felt a sense of frustration and grief as she watched large numbers of her own sheep die but was powerless to do anything.
Ni Kun was not moved at all, he just said "oh" and continued to ask:
"Have you found out what caused the strange changes on this island?"
Shan Meixian said in a deep voice:
"Sir, in the past two months, I have sent experts and ninjas to the island several times to investigate the details of the changes. Although we have not yet found out the truth, we have roughly determined the direction of the source of the changes.
"A few days ago, Koga Ninja Kasumi Keibu and Fuu Shijo went to investigate the suspected source of the abnormality. Judging from the time, they should be back soon to report."
Ni Kun nodded and said:
"When they come back, report to me immediately."
Next, Shan Meixian reported some military and political affairs to Ni Kun.
How could Ni Kun have the patience for these trivial matters?
He just said that he was tired from sailing and was physically and mentally exhausted, so he would stop there for the day and let Shan Meixian arrange accommodation for him and his group.
Shan Meixian was planning to hold a grand welcoming banquet, but Ni Kun rejected it.
The food is barely enough to eat, how can we afford a grand celebration?
Ni Kun even told her directly that she didn't need to worry about her group's diet, and that all the food and drinks should be put in a mustard seed ring and carried with her.
Seeing Ni Kun's firm attitude, Shan Meixian had no choice but to cancel the welcoming banquet and arranged for them to live on the top floor of the castle according to Ni Kun's preferences.
After settling down, Ni Kun used some disaster details provided by Shan Meixian as parameters to perform a divination.
In the end, nothing was predicted, and the location of the origin of the disaster was only barely calculated.
However, Shan Meixian had already sent experts and ninjas to find out the approximate location of the origin of in the past two months, so Ni Kun's divination this time was in vain.
"Not only can it affect the natural environment to a great extent, it can also interfere with my divination to a certain extent... It seems that the root cause of this disaster is really not easy to deal with."
Ni Kun frowned and pondered for a while, then decided to wait until Xia Xingbu and Feng Shijian, who had gone out to investigate, brought back more detailed and specific information before taking action.
Of course, if Xia Xingbu and Feng Shijiangjian failed in their investigation and died at the source of the disaster, then Ni Kun would have no choice but to rush forward without knowing anything about the enemy.
Taking a quick glance at the lifespan of the plug-in, the countdown for the lifespan that once put Ni Kun under a lot of pressure and was like a death warrant had long since turned into a positive increase.
The last time he opened the altar to save his life, he used the Seven Arrows Book to severely injure An Wuji, and his life span, which was originally only 600 years left, increased by another ten years without him noticing.
"At worst, I can use the extra ten years of life to explode a nuclear bomb. How many people in the world can withstand a five-million-ton fusion burial?"
After making the decision, Ni Kun stopped thinking about it and prepared to continue practicing.
At this time, Bai Qinger came in and reported:
"Sir, Madam Dongming has sent four maids to serve you. Do you want them, or..."
"Let them go back." Ni Kun was about to refuse, but suddenly he remembered someone: "Wait, among those four maids, is there one named Hu Yi?"
"Hmm..." Bai Qing'er tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "It seems like there is one."
Ni Kun said, "Let Hu Yi stay, and tell the other three to go back."
"Okay, sir." Bai Qing'er took the order and retreated. Soon, she brought in a woman who was wearing a short shirt and short skirt. Her chest was only slightly smaller than Tsunade's, her thighs were slightly thick but extremely round and full, and she had dark wheat-colored skin.
It is Hu Yi.
"Sir!" Hu Yi's eyes were filled with surprise when he saw Ni Kun. He bowed down with a thump and said, "Greetings, Sir!"
Ni Kun smiled and said, "It's been a year since we last met. Hu Yi, are you all right?"
"Thank you for your concern, Hu Yi is doing well. I just miss you very much. And..." She touched her flat and firm belly and said a little frustratedly, "Since we parted, there has been no movement here."
Ni Kun laughed and shook his head, without responding to her words. He asked her a few more questions about Kogali and her family, and then allowed her to stay and serve.
After a night's rest, early the next morning, Shan Meixian and Shan Wanjing came to pay their respects and brought him two fresh yellowtails that had been caught that morning.
Ni Kun accepted the small gift with a smile and gave a thick booklet in return.
Shan Meixian took the booklet, opened it and looked through it at Ni Kun's signal. Soon her body was shocked and her eyes were filled with surprise.
This is a secret manual of martial arts.
With Shan Meixian's martial arts training, she could tell how powerful this technique was after just a quick reading of the general outline. She was immediately surprised and delighted, and bowed down:
"Thank you very much for teaching me the magic skill!"
It was indeed a "divine skill", because the booklet that Ni Kun gave them was none other than the complete Sacred Heart Secret, which included fundamental mental skills, light skills, various combat skills, the Four Sacred Heart Secrets, and the Four Sacred Heart Tribulations.
For any martial artist, such a generous gift would be a favor that should be repaid with one's life.
The little devil in Ni Kun's mind said seriously: "You're welcome. This is what Father Ni should do."
The little angel exuded a warm holy light, nodded and said with emotion: "This is the father's love as high as a mountain..."
Ni Kun smiled and said:
"No need to be so polite. Since I have arranged for you to attack the Japanese island and establish a country on this island, I will naturally give you enough military force to deter rebellion.
"What's more, there may be more changes in the Japanese islands in the future, and you will need to have enough strength to deal with them, at least until I or others can come to support you."
Then, he took out a box of blood bodhi and a gourd of celestial bead honey and handed them to them:
"These training resources can help you quickly improve your strength."
He also gave some pointers on the usage of Blood Bodhi and Yuanpin Tianzhu Honey Liquid.
Shan Wanjing was so moved that if she hadn't been confused about the generations, she would have called him dad on the spot.
Shan Meixian was also flattered. At the same time, she knew very well the reason why Ni Kun was so generous. She knew that Ni Kun treated her and Wanjing so well because he loved Zhu Yuyan.
Thinking that the treatment she and Wanjing received was all because of Zhu Yuyan, Shan Meixian felt quite complicated.
On the one hand, she was amazed at Ni Kun's love for Zhu Yuyan, to the point of loving her whole family. On the other hand, she was somewhat jealous of Zhu Yuyan's charm and was also a little dissatisfied.
They all practiced the Heavenly Demonic Arts and achieved great things. Why could an evil witch like Zhu Yuyan have such a good life and receive such favor from Master Ni, a god from heaven?
Of course, Zhu Yuyan was present at the scene at that moment, standing behind Ni Kun with a calm expression. Shan Meixian did not know how to express her emotions. She just glanced at Zhu Yuyan with a very subtle look, and then bowed to Ni Kun again to thank him deeply.
After seeing off Shan Meixian and Shan Wanjing, Ni Kun handed the two yellowtails to Hu Yi and Tsunade, asking them to work together to make fish sashimi and sushi, and then continued to practice, patiently waiting for news.
In the next two days, Shan Meixian and Shan Wanjing came to pay their respects morning and evening. The two ninjas, Koga and Iga, also came to pay their respects to their lord. These two ninjas had originally worshipped Ni Kun as their lord and regarded themselves as Ni Kun's retainers. Now they just followed Ni Kun's arrangements and followed Shan Meixian and Shan Wanjing to do things.
Of course, they also knew how much Ni Kun valued Shan Meixian and Shan Wanjing, and they dared not compromise on their orders in the slightest.
That evening, Shan Meixian and Shan Wanjing came over as usual to pay their respects and to ask for advice on some difficulties they encountered while practicing the Sacred Heart Sutra.
After answering their questions about cultivation one by one, Ni Kun asked:
"Haven't Xia Xingbu and Feng Shijiangjian come back yet?"
Shan Meixian hesitated for a while and said:
"According to the time, they should have returned before last night... but maybe they encountered an accident and were delayed?"
Ni Kun said calmly:
"It is more likely that he encountered a strong enemy, was captured, or even killed."
Shan Meixian pursed her lips and said in a deep voice:
"I will send out experts and ninjas to investigate tomorrow morning."
Ni Kun shook his head:
"Even elite ninjas with special skills like Xia Xingbu and Feng Shijiang have been killed, so it would be useless for ordinary masters and ninjas to go there. Although you have no shortage of combat soldiers, the number of masters and ninjas is limited. There is no point in wasting them."
Shan Meixian was slightly surprised:
"What you mean, sir, is..."
"I have already waited for three days. I cannot wait any longer." Ni Kun said calmly, "Early tomorrow morning, I will set off to the source of the disaster and see for myself what kind of evildoer is doing this extermination."
Shan Meixian said worriedly:
"But now we can't even figure out whether the opponent is a human or a ghost, a demon or a monster. The enemy situation is so vague..."
Ni Kun interrupted her:
"Whether the opponent is a human or a ghost, a demon or a monster, it must be dealt with as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it is delayed for too long, it may lead to disaster.
"Besides, I have no intention of staying on the Japanese island for long. The sooner this matter is resolved, the sooner I can return to the Central Plains."
Seeing that Ni Kun had made up his mind, Shan Meixian could not persuade him any further and could only say:
"Then I will bring enough experts with me to accompany you tomorrow..."
"No need." Ni Kun smiled slightly: "If I need to take action on the battlefield, it will be useless for ordinary masters to go there. I'm afraid they can't even get close to the battlefield."
Shan Meixian said: "Then leave Wanjing in charge of the camp, and I will go with you, young master."
Ni Kun still shook his head: "You have only practiced the Sacred Heart Technique for three days. With your level of cultivation, you still can't go."
Shan Meixian bit her red lips with her pearly teeth and said softly:
"Then... can the Queen go?"
Hearing her words, Zhu Yuyan, who was standing behind Ni Kun, also glanced at Shan Meixian lightly, with a sneer in her eyes.
Ni Kun smiled and said, "Yuyan can go of course."
Zhu Yuyan has cultivated the body of a martial saint and is able to control flying swords. She has also practiced the Sacred Heart Technique to a certain degree and has also mastered the two unique skills of "Xuanbing Jue" and "Di Tian Kuang Lei".
The demonic force field of the Demonic Great Law can also cover an area of ten feet in radius. It is capable of both attack and defense. Only those with such cultivation level are qualified to join him in the battle.
Shan Meixian nodded slightly and said with a hint of reluctance:
"I understand. Tomorrow morning, I will come to see you off."
After saying that, he bowed respectfully to Ni Kun again, then got up and left with Shan Wanjing.
After resting for a night, Ni Kun set off for the source of the disaster early the next morning with Xiaoqing, Gangshou, Zhu Yuyan, and Kankan.
Although Wen Caiting and Bai Qing'er's cultivation and strength have greatly improved, they are not fighters after all. Ni Kun would not bring them with him in this battle where the enemy situation is unclear, lest they die in vain.
Shan Meixian and Shan Wanjing also got up early in the morning to see Ni Kun off.
After watching Ni Kun and his party ride away on horseback, Shan Meixian gritted her teeth and secretly made up her mind to practice the Sacred Heart Sutra diligently and improve her cultivation as soon as possible so that she would never let Zhu Yuyan look down on her again.
Glancing at Shan Wanjing, she saw that she looked ignorant and was happily discussing with Hu Yi and other ninjas, saying that if the young master came out, he would definitely be able to solve the disaster in one fell swoop. Shan Meixian suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart and snorted coldly:
"Wanjing, have you finished your morning lessons today?"
"Ah?" Shan Wanjing was stunned: "I got up before dawn and finished my morning lessons long ago!"
Shan Meixian said calmly: "Now that the morning class is over, can we rest? Have you mastered the Sacred Heart Technique?"
Shan Wanjing made a bitter face: "Mom, you haven't even started yet..."
Shan Meixian's cheeks flushed slightly, but she quickly said with a straight face:
"Now I am teaching you a lesson! Do you still dare to talk back? Go back immediately and comprehend the Sacred Heart Sutra!"
“…”
Shan Wanjing blinked innocently, not understanding why her mother suddenly got angry. She pouted in frustration, swung her hands, and went back to practice with heavy steps.
Shan Meixian let out a long sigh and felt much better.
It’s so nice to have an obedient daughter!
Not only do I have a good daughter, I also have a good father.
Zhu Yuyan is not so lucky!
When she thought of this, Shan Meixian felt even more happy, and she went back to practice hard.
