Chapter 58: One step back, the sea is wide open, and there is no way to go (1)

King Zheng no longer forced Zheng Linran to express his opinions, saying, "What you said makes sense. Accepting King Chen's praise can show the benevolence and righteousness of Zheng State, but today, Yan State will no longer exist. Only Chen, Qi, Zhou, and Chu are left, which shows that our benevolence and virtue seems to be useless. Now we are strong and have high morale. If Chen can be destroyed in one fell swoop, the grain of Chen State will be the grain of Zheng State, and the army of Chen State will be the armed forces of our Zheng State."

Seeing that King Zheng made a decision, the ministers were worried, but they could only keep silent and said together, "My ministers obey the emperor's decision."

"Okay!" King Zheng stood up and said, "I think King Chen is unrighteous. Our country of Zheng is rich and strong, and we are benevolent and righteous. In order to make the world no longer suffer from any war, we sent troops to attack Chen!"

"I, Wang Yingming!"

All the ministers bowed down.

When Zheng Wang was feeling proud, he found that Zheng Linran was still standing, and the latter was stared at the corner of his eyes, and reluctantly knelt down on the ground with everyone.

Many of the rules of the old King Zheng were as if they were not there. Originally, the leader of the Feixian Sect saw that King Zheng would not worship him, but now he was disliked by King Zheng. Zheng Linran knew that King Zheng had grudges against her, but now he was full of ambitions. He was not allowed to fall under the authority of his king.

Yue Fei's father was not present, so Zheng Linran naturally did not have to fulfill his promise.

When leaving the palace, Zheng Linran was thinking about the major event of the Zheng State sending troops this time, and the brother of King Zheng, Wang Ping, came towards him.

"I've met King Ping." Zheng Linran quickly gave a gift.

The King Ping looked at Zheng Linran up and down, and couldn't help but admire her beauty. He couldn't help but think of the past. He felt that he had the possibility of developing a relationship with Zheng Linran, but was blocked by the hateful Ling Luo.

"It's just right to meet the sect leader. The precious spring elder is really hateful! I have been looking for the sect leader to say this for a long time."

Zheng Linran hurriedly asked, "I wonder how the elder Spring offended King Ping?"

"! There is a disciple named Xu Yan in Chunji Hall. I fell in love with her at first sight. A few days ago, she performed a fairy dance in my palace. Unexpectedly, when Elder Chunji found out, she was sentenced to imprisonment for one month, and she also had to be blamed for one hundred sticks. Humph! I went to plead with love in person, but the elder Chunji did not show any mercy! I saw that she was old and could not be in charge of the director, and I was about to go to find the king and said-"

Zheng Linran felt worried.

When Zheng Feixian was alive, he set rules that whenever the disciples of Feixian Sect used martial arts and showed off their charm, they would kill or abolish martial arts or expel them from the sect at the worst, and confine themselves to the sect at the least. In fact, the elders of the Spring Festival dealt with this because they had seen the face of King Ping's face being lighter.

But not long ago, King Zheng set a precedent, asking one hundred disciples of Feixian Sect to perform dance for the empress dowager in the palace. As a result, all the civil and military officials in the court were fascinated by watching it. Ping and Zhen two kings even used all means to tempt the beautiful female disciples of Feixian Sect to enter the mansion, watch the dance during the day and enjoy the gentleness at night.

Zheng Linran had known these things for a long time, but he just couldn't pay attention to them. At that time, the King of Zheng made a request to her because he could not refuse, so he could only reluctantly agree. Now that he set a precedent, she could not punish her. However, today I heard that many civil and military ministers in the court also followed suit. Many disciples of Feixian Sect either surrendered to the power of those people, or could not withstand the temptation of wealth and property, and were flattered by soft words.

Jokes have even been circulating in Zhengdu recently.

It is said that the number one Wu Zong in the world was Feixian Sect, and the number one kiln was also Feixian Sect.

If there is no governance, the development of the situation will inevitably be even more uncontrollable. Therefore, Elder Four Seasons once consulted Zheng Linran, so she took the steps to say that once it was discovered, it would be dealt with.

"The King of Ping doesn't know anything. In fact, the elder Spring has already punished the lightest for King Ping's face..."

"Hey? What is the sect leader saying? The sect leader can lead the people to the palace to perform dances, so my best friends are not allowed to enter the mansion to sing and dance! Humph, I understand, the sect leader looks down on me. Since that's the case, I will go and find my brother and say go!"

Zheng Linran hurriedly called King Ping.

"King Ping stays, and King Ping calms his anger."

King Ping stopped and turned around and said coldly, "What else does the sect leader have to say?"

Zheng Linran knew that King Zheng trusted his two brothers very much now and would never let King Ping lose face for a mere elder of Feixian Sect. If the matter was in trouble, it would be even more difficult to deal with.

"When King Ping spoke, Xu Yan will naturally no longer punish him."

After Zheng Linran said that, he was not happy when he saw King Ping, and hurriedly said, "King Ping is not satisfied?"

"If the elder spring was tactful, I just asked to let Xu Yan go. Now that I personally found the sect leader and talked about this matter, how could it be so simple to end? If so, others would not take this king underestimate me and say that even an elder of Feixian Sect did not take King Ping seriously, and King Ping had to beg the sect leader to save his friends without any trouble."

Zheng Linran was uneasy, afraid that King Ping would make too much request, but he could only ask with a smile on his face, "Why would you like this? Let the elder Spring take down Zheng Wang Tower and personally pour wine for King Ping to apologize. What do you think?"

"Hmph! I have said that the elder in spring is already old and can't do things. Doesn't the sect leader understand what the purpose is?"

Zheng Linran was suffocated. Unexpectedly, King Ping became more and more powerless, and the request was so excessive!

Although the elders in spring had less martial skills than Elder Dongxue, they were humble and rewarded and punished fairly. In the past, they followed Zheng Feixian to make many contributions, and their reputation in Feixian Sect was unmatched. How could they withdraw just by evacuating?

Seeing Zheng Lin hesitating and answering, King Ping couldn't help but snorted coldly, "The Sect Master really doesn't take me seriously. That's right, what's this king? The Sect Master dares not take me seriously, let alone this king! The King of Kings intends to let the Sect Master enter the palace, but the Sect Master seeks help from Empress Dowager Chen, which clearly ignores the Dragon Power of the King. Forget it, I dare not make it boring, so I should ask Brother of Kings to make the decision."

"King Ping stayed—" Zheng Linran had no choice but to lower his figure and bow and bow and said, "King Ping didn't know anything. The elders in the spring are already in high spirits and have contributed a lot to the Feixian Sect, which is really..."

"I don't want to listen to these things. Can the sect leader make the decision? Since that's the case, it depends on whether Brother Wang can be the master of Feixian Sect's affairs! I not only want the old guy to get out, but also let the young and promising Xu Yan take over the Spring Hall! I don't believe that in Zheng State, there are things that Brother Wang can't control and do not do!"

King Ping's request was too much, so Zheng Linran could not agree. He could only see him entering the palace to meet King Zheng, hoping that King Zheng would not meet his absurd and excessive request.

However, hope is hope. Shortly after Zheng Linran returned to Feixian Sect, the envoy from the King of Zheng arrived with the imperial edict.
