Chapter 865 Conservation of Energy
Word quickly spread that Suning was planning to personally go to Dali to attack the Tianlong Temple, and Grand Chancellor Shen was the first to express his strong opposition. It was unclear how much sincerity and pretense he expressed. "Prince Ning, you are no longer the dandy boy from Bianjing. You are now a Duke of the Song Dynasty, connected to the people of Jiangnan. Therefore, I firmly oppose your personal expedition to Dali."

"Master Shen, your court has been with Dali in the southwest for so long, you should be well aware of their strength, then why did you deliberately hide the matter of Tianlong Temple from me?" Looking at the old fox in front of him who was ready to dig a hole for him at any moment, Su Ning couldn't help the anger in his heart and looked directly at Master Shen to question him.

"Ah? This..." Lord Shen was stunned by Su Ning's question. He didn't expect that Ning Yuanjun would get the information so quickly.

"Mr. Shen, how much information do you know about the Tianlong Temple? Also, does the government in Bianjing keep any martial arts masters?" Although he relied on the firearms in the space world to not be afraid of martial arts masters, he still wanted to prepare some backup plans just in case.

"Tianlong Temple? What Tianlong Temple? I have never heard of this temple!" Tianlong Temple was originally a big trap set by the government and the ministers for the Ningyuan Army. How could they admit it or send their own martial arts masters to Suning?

Looking at the scoundrel-faced Lord Shen in front of him, Su Ning no longer felt any closeness to his future grandfather-in-law. He once again realized that all relationships are based on interests. "Lord Shen, since that's the case, the next thing is our Daning Kingdom's internal affairs, so you, the Lord of the Song Dynasty, don't need to say anything more."

"This..." Lord Shen also noticed Su Ning's anger at this time, but some things had to be done.

"Master Shen, I will go to war tomorrow, so I will not entertain you." Seeing that Master Shen was determined to deal with him, Su Ning naturally had no good face.

"."

Shen Da Xianggong, who was driven out of Ning Wang Mansion by Suning, shook his head helplessly. Dali Tianlong Temple was indeed a surprise given to the Ningyuan Army by the officials and ministers of Bianliang. Presumably, those high-ranking martial artists would definitely launch a surprise attack on the Ningyuan Army. By then, the arrogant and domineering Ningyuan Army would surely be seriously damaged, which would naturally be a good thing that best suited the interests of the Zhao Song court.

That night, after Suning arranged the troops to stay in Jiangning Prefecture, he explained some things that needed attention to his female relatives. The next day, he led his cavalry and guards to set off. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to rely on his own two legs or ride a horse. Suning once again took out dozens of large trucks to form a fully mechanized force.

"Princess, great news! Great news!" Liang Huaiji ran to Princess Huirou in ecstasy.

"Huaiji, what's wrong?" Princess Huirou asked the eunuch in front of her with surprise.

"Princess, it's said that Prince Ning has led his personal guards on a southern expedition, and that a large iron carriage has appeared that runs on its own without a horse."

"Oh? It seems that Prince Ning is still very loyal to my father. He actually goes to the front line to supervise the battle in person." Princess Huirou couldn't help but feel surprised at this time. She realized that Su Ning was not as arrogant as the outside world rumored.

"Princess, a clay pot will break if it is kept away from a well, and a general is bound to die in the battlefield. What if something happens to Prince Ning?" At this moment, Liang Huaiji actually said with gloating attitude.

"Someone come here!" Princess Huirou's face suddenly changed, and she shouted loudly to the guards outside the door.

"Your Highness." Soon two elite guards strode in.

"Take Liang Huaiji away and pull out his tongue, then send him back to the Bian Jing Palace to be dealt with by the inner court." Princess Huirou said to the guards with a pale face, pointing at Liang Huaiji standing beside her.

"Yes! Princess."

"Princess, please spare me! I am Huaiji who grew up with you! I do all this for you, Your Highness!" Liang Huaiji, who was forcibly dragged away by the guards, immediately begged for mercy desperately. He did not expect that he would make Princess Huirou so furious.

"Pull it down."

At this time, Princess Huirou had her back to the crowd with tears streaming down her face, because she really couldn't bear to part with this close playmate she had grown up with. In fact, Liang Huaiji was the only confidant who could talk to her, but when she thought about the crisis-ridden Jiangning Mansion where she was, she had to use thundering means to deal with the talkative Liang Huaiji.

Soon Liang Huaiji's tongue was cut off by the strong guards. These guards were brought by Princess Huirou from the imperial palace in Bianjing. Naturally, they were able to obey Princess Huirou's orders. On the same day, Liang Huaiji, who had lost his tongue, was sent to the official ship back to Bianjing. A very miserable life was waiting for Liang Huaiji.

Princess Huirou, feeling distraught, unconsciously returned to the lake. She then remembered that the "little monk's" fish basket had not yet been returned. She then looked at her maid, Lamei, and asked, "Lamei, where is the fish basket that held the live fish yesterday?"

"Your Highness, the fish basket was taken care of by Eunuch Huaiji." The maid Lamei quickly replied to Princess Huirou respectfully.

"Hmph! Then go back to the small kitchen and look for him." At this time, Princess Huirou's dissatisfaction with Liang Huaiji increased again, and her reluctance to punish Liang Huaiji also faded a lot.

"Yes! Princess."

Looking at the calm lake in front of her, Princess Huirou suddenly felt extremely lonely, as if she was the only one in the world. In the past, Liang Huaiji was always by her side to talk to her, but now even Liang Huaiji, the only person who could talk to her, was destroyed by her own hands.

"Princess, the fish basket has been found. It's in the corner of the small kitchen." Soon, Princess Huirou's maid Lamei came over with the fish basket.

"Okay! Just tie it by the lake."

"Yes! Princess." The maid La Mei hurried to the lake and used a small stone to press down the rope of the fish basket.

But when the maid Lamei turned back, she found a strange unknown square object, and picked it up curiously. She looked at Princess Huirou with a strange look on her face and said, "Princess, there is a strange thing here."

"Oh? What is that?" Princess Huirou looked at the item in the maid's hand with a puzzled look on her face. Then she saw a strange, irregular square object that was neither wood nor jade. Then she couldn't help but take it and looked at it out of curiosity. "What a strange thing! Could it be left by the young master from yesterday?"

"Princess, this is very possible. The young master must be a martial arts master beside Prince Ning." At this time, the maid La Mei also expressed her guess.

"Well, then I'll just keep it for him for now. If I see it again, I'll give it back to him."

"Yes! Princess."

In fact, this strange item was just a handheld game console that Su Ning had dropped casually. It was mainly used by Su Ning to kill time when she was bored. After all, Sheng Hualan was still pregnant and taking care of the fetus. Sheng Shulan would also have some inconveniences every month, and Su Ning did not want to have in-depth discussions with other maids. Then she thought of this unconventional solution, but she did not expect that the dropped handheld game console would be picked up by Princess Huirou. Princess Huirou took the handheld game console back to her courtyard and began to study it. Very low-end electronic products like handheld game consoles are very simple to operate. After all, they need to be easily accepted by the general public. Soon, the clever Princess Huirou studied it thoroughly, and then she started playing with it happily without sleep or food.

The Ningyuan Army advanced very quickly in its southern expeditions to Dali and Jiaozhi. The Ningyuan Army's navy pushed forward all the way in its attack on Jiaozhi. The giant ironclad ships had already frightened the Jiaozhi natives. By the time Suning's ace troops arrived in Dali, only the royal city of Dali was still struggling to hold on. At this time, the royal city of Dali had already become dilapidated, but the resistance consciousness of the Dali Kingdom far exceeded the expectations of the Ningyuan Army.

"Your Highness, these people in Dali Royal City are resisting very fiercely. Do we need to continue the bombing?" Murong Yanzhao looked at Su Ning in front of him with some shame. He had naturally heard that the Ningyuan Army Navy led by Liao Wenjun had conquered Jiaozhi Kingdom.

"Hmph! Pass the order! Attack on all fronts."

"Yes! Your Majesty."

Although the resistance in the Dali Kingdom's royal city was extremely fierce, it was no match for the Ningyuan Army's 200,000 troops. The Ningyuan Army quickly wiped out all the rebels in the royal city, successfully broke into the Dali Kingdom's palace, and began to search the entire Dali Palace.

"Your Highness, the fake emperor of Dali, Duan Silian, is not in the palace." Murong Yanzhao soon came to Su Ning again and reported.

"Well, I guess they should all be in Tianlong Temple now." Suning said without any surprise.

In fact, Suning's guess was not wrong. At this time, the royal family of Dali's Duan family were hiding in Tianlong Temple, and Tianlong Temple had been surrounded by the Ningyuan army. All the Ningyuan army's artillery at the foot of the mountain were ready to go. Only Suning's order was needed to flatten the Tianlong Temple.

At this most tense moment, an elderly monk suddenly walked out of Tianlong Temple and walked straight to the front of the Ningyuan army. Facing the black muzzles and gun holes, he said fearlessly, "I am Fantong, the abbot of Tianlong Temple. Your Highness, Prince Ning, please come out and answer my questions."

"Master monk, I am King Ning." Su Ning knew that the old monk in front of him named Fan Tong was the former Bingyi Emperor Duan Sulong of Dali.

"King Ning, are you also a monk?" Looking at the strange short and messy hair on Su Ning's head, Fan Tong couldn't help but be surprised.

"No! It's mainly because there's too much miasma in your Dali, so I cut my hair off on purpose. You'd better come out and surrender quickly! Once the artillery fire starts, your Tianlong Temple will be razed to the ground."

"Your Highness Prince Ning, why do you have to rely on the power of firearms to be so aggressive? We, the Duan family, are willing to move to Jiaozhi on our own initiative, and we hope that Prince Ning can make it happen." During the fierce battles during this period, the Duan family of Dali had a deep understanding of the Ningyuan Army's sharp firearms.

"No! Jiaozhi now belongs to our Song Dynasty, and the Ningyuan Army has occupied the entire Jiaozhi." Su Ning rejected Duan's request without even thinking.

"What? How did your Ningyuan Army do it?" Upon hearing that the Ningyuan Army had occupied the entire Jiaozhi so quickly, the old monk Fantong was shocked.

"Tsk! Of course we'll attack directly from the sea. Our Ningyuan Army is strong and powerful, so you, the Duan clan, should surrender as soon as possible! I don't want to cause any more bloodshed."

"Your Highness Prince Ning, I believe you are also aware that our Tianlong Temple is also a major martial arts sect. This is also the reason why the Duan family of Dali has been able to stand firm for many years. So I hope Your Highness Prince Ning can think twice before acting." Seeing that Suning rejected the Duan family's initiative to retreat, the old monk who did not want to be a prisoner began to threaten.

"Humph! China will not tolerate rebellion. The Central Plains has been pampering you for too long."

"King Ning, aren't you a rebel against the Song Dynasty yourself? Why do you treat us Dali like this?" They were puzzled as to why Suning, who also started out as a rebel, was forcing Dali like this.

"Fantong, there are some things I can do but you can't." Su Ning looked at the old monk Fan Tong in front of him very domineeringly and said.

"What? King Ning, you are going too far." Seeing that Suning was so arrogant and domineering, the old monk Fan Tong felt that he could not bear it anymore.

"If you don't surrender after one stick of incense, my Ningyuan Army will open fire on time."

"Prince Ning, you."

At this time, Su Ning was too lazy to pay attention to the old monk in front of him. To be honest, the Dali Duan family was really a magical family. Not only was the succession to the throne very chaotic, but every emperor would become a monk after abdicating. In the original time and space, most of them went to Wuwei Temple to become monks. Jin Yong merged Wuwei Temple and Tianlong Temple into one. It was obvious that this world had integrated part of the world of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". Maybe the "system" also felt that the energy imbalance in this world was too serious.

At this time, Tianlong Temple had been surrounded by the Ningyuan Army. The monks who knew the Six Meridians Divine Sword and One Finger Zen could not escape, so Su Ning waited there as steady as a rock. However, before the agreed time of one stick of incense had passed, the Dali Emperor Duan Silian and his concubines came out with their families, followed by a large group of bald old monks. Then, the Ningyuan Army soldiers immediately ran up to control everyone.

"Duan Silian, you have been captured by my Ningyuan army. I will take your Duan family to Bian Jing to enjoy life." Su Ning said with a smug look on his face as he looked at the fake emperor of Dali in front of him.

"King Ning, actually..." Duan Silian, who was lowering his head, suddenly looked up at Su Ning in front of him and said.

"what?"

"Actually, I also know the Six Meridians Divine Sword!" Duan Silian suddenly looked up at Su Ning with a vicious look, then stretched out his finger and struck out a Six Meridians Divine Sword at Su Ning's heart.

"Escort!"

At such a close distance, Suning was hit and flew far away. Fortunately, the loyal Ningyuan soldiers caught the fallen Suning in advance, and the Ningyuan soldiers holding AK47s around all aimed at the Duan family and fired, giving these so-called martial arts masters no chance to react.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang."
