The wind in Beichong blew coldly on my face, and the atmosphere in the military camp was still solemn.
But at this moment, a pleasant sound suddenly appeared outside the camp.
"Oh~ah!"
After Doctor Shen walked out of the tent, he stretched his body, and then kicked to the side out of habit.
"Huh?"
The feet are a little numb, as if they are not as soft as a fox...
Then he turned around suddenly and looked at the trembling old Huang with an innocent face in front of him. Doctor Shen patted his head.
I forgot that the fox had already been transferred by him, and it was purely an accidental injury at the moment.
Shen Xin knew very well that although Old Huang appeared this time, which made him a little surprised, it was still the most dangerous time.
Can this backup plan be realized?
Somewhat difficult, but not impossible.
How could a mere old man turn the world upside down?
With Jiang Ziya's intelligence, he would never let him return to Chaoge easily.
This is inevitable.
The reason was also very simple. Due to Shen Xin's sudden appearance, the original Prime Minister Bigan avoided having his heart torn out by Daji and did not die.
Huang Feihu did not fight his way out of the fifth level and defected to Xiqi. The fundamentals of the Yin and Shang Dynasties had not collapsed, and the civil and military pillars were still there.
Even if King Zhou ignores government affairs, it will be enough to stabilize Chaoge and prevent chaos.
As for Shen Xin, his reputation became more and more great in the hearts of the people, and everyone compared him to the hope of the Yin Shang Dynasty and the pillar of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
In other words, with him, there is hope in the hearts of the people of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
And if Shen Xin returns to Chaoge, the people of Yin Shang will become more stable.
This raises a question: if the world is not in chaos, how will Xiqi have the opportunity to conquer King Zhou, and how will the canonization of gods be initiated?
Therefore, Doctor Shen is convinced that Jiang Ziya will never let him go easily, and it is not impossible to use some special means for Xiqi at the critical moment.
well!
Doctor Shen breathed a long sigh of relief.
Sighing that this is another day when the saint is about to return.
Boring, fulfilling and dull.
However, before he died, he had to clear away the dangers around him that could save him.
Especially Lao Huang, his sudden appearance directly broke Dr. Shen's original plan.
If he was around, what kind of accident would happen if everything was not guaranteed.
Therefore, this child must not be kept.
As for Lu Xiaobing...
Forget it, pack it up and send it away together, just because of the special rent.
You must not let yourself have so many loyal and protective people around you, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Damn it, Doctor Shen suddenly sighed.
This courting of death has actually become a technical job!
Shen Xin slowly thought about how he could arrange these two people.
It is definitely not possible to drive them away directly, and it is probably difficult to keep them away from you.
If you don’t have a reason, you can’t just make it up…
Dr. Shen slowly fell into deep thought.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lao Huang's trembling voice came from behind.
"Master, the conditions offered by Prime Minister Jiang are very good. Don't you really want to consider it?"
Hearing this, Shen Xin nodded without hesitation: "Of course."
He has his own ideas in mind.
Although Xiqi is good and can still be on the list, he dies slowly. This is the key point.
Especially after he moved the Shen family to Xiqi, Doctor Shen felt a little panicked in his heart. Who knows what the Shen family has developed into now.
It's not right that this old Huang can sneak into the Xiqi Military Camp.
If you don't understand clearly that you went to Xiqi, wouldn't you be like the weak sheep falling into the tiger's den?
What if it’s all our own people?
Another point is that there are four saints behind Xiqi. Tianhu's destined start, those dangers have been calculated well by the disciples of Chanjiao, and there will always be support at critical moments.
There are many dangers in Chaoge.
Look at that mediocre King Zhou. He only sleeps with Daji every day.
There is also the insidious and vicious Daji who is either being slept with or on the way to being slept with.
Coupled with the treacherous villain Fei Zhongyouhun, and the powerful and unruly Chan Jiao.
There are so many opportunities here that we can hardly count them.
Of course there is no need to hesitate in choosing.
However, hearing the young master's answer made Lao Huang miserable, and his face immediately became serious.
After dragging Dr. Shen to a luxurious tent with no one around, he said cautiously and worriedly:
"Master, if you don't join Xiqi now, you may be in danger..."
Not only was it dangerous, when Jiang Ziya wanted to force Shen Xin to stay in the military camp, Lao Huang felt it immediately.
It's okay to hide Xiqi's ambition from ordinary people, but how can he hide it from the major princes?
Similarly, the Shen family is not stupid, and naturally they know it, but their interests have tied them in the same boat.
Once the young master really refuses to join Xiqi, he may be in danger.
Ji Chang might consider his reputation for benevolence and righteousness and not embarrass the young master, but Jiang Ziya might not.
Lao Huang felt very uneasy.
Of course Shen Xin knew what Lao Huang was going to say, so he interrupted him without hesitation.
He said with a firm face:
"Danger, so what if it's dangerous?"
"Since ancient times, loyal ministers have not served the two masters. As a courtier of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, how can I, Shen Xin, give up my faith because of fame, fortune and status, and life and death threats."
"Old Huang, please don't embarrass me because of me. Stay well in Xiqi and never return to Chaoge."
Well, this is Dr. Shen's true words. Just stay in Xiqi and don't go back to Chaoge.
And in order to ensure that this happened, Shen Xin paused and spoke again:
"In order to avoid embarrassment for my father and the Shen family, what Shen Xin does from today on will not represent the Shen family, nor will he do anything in the name of the Shen family."
As for the father...
Doctor Shen looked to the west, a trace of mist appeared in the corners of his eyes, and held Lao Huang's hand with a sad expression.
"You...you should return to Xiqi immediately and report my words to father.
He said that the child was unfilial and should be prepared to be loyal to the country. "
"If you can't go to Xiqi to serve me, please take care of yourself and try to take this opportunity to spread branches and leaves for the Shen family..."
At this moment, Lao Huang was inexplicably moved when he heard the young master's behavior as if he was giving his last words.
"Young master, you are truly loyal to the country and the people. Even if King Zhou tortures a loyal minister like you, you still will not change your original intention."
"After coming to Xiqi, it was clear that you could be rich and prosperous, with one person inferior to ten thousand people, but you gave up on everything."
Lao Huang looked forward respectfully, his eyes full of admiration and shock.
Then he fell to his knees with a "plop" and clenched his fists instantly.
"Young Master, don't worry. As long as the Shen family and Lao Huang are here, they will definitely protect your safety."
"I will go to see King Wen right now. In the name of his benevolence and righteousness, the Shen family will definitely not harm your life!"
…
Looking at Lao Huang who was a little moved.
Doctor Shen refused.
Could it be that what I just said was in vain?
Why did Huang Tianxiang just leave and another Lao Huang came?
It’s a bad year.
But having said that, as an old servant of the Shen family, Lao Huang's behavior is not surprising.
Because he has been deeply tied to the Shen family for a long time, and generations of people have walked with the Shen family until today.
He is truly willing to give, and the Shen family has never treated him as an outsider.
Shen Xin was helpless and quickly comforted: "No, Old Huang, you don't have to be so excited. Although I don't want to join Xiqi, it doesn't mean that Xiqi will harm me openly."
I believe in Xibohou’s character. "
Character? It’s really hard to say about character.
Even if Ji Chang would not take action openly in the name of benevolence and righteousness, Jiang Ziya would not care about this.
There will be no surprises if you use some means to achieve your goals.
He wouldn't do it openly, wouldn't he be able to do it secretly?
I'm afraid it's easy to find some excuse and push out some scapegoats.
So as long as what I do makes the other person intolerable, everything will be possible.
And what Shen Xin said was even more comforting to Lao Huang.
Thinking of this, Dr. Shen felt quite confident and sure of victory, and directly sent Old Huang:
"Old Huang, as an official of Xiqi now, you must have more important things to do, so you shouldn't be around me.
You should focus on your own government affairs. "
"Master..."
Lao Huang really wanted to say that what he was in charge of now was just some food, grass and weapons, and he didn't need to keep an eye on them at all.
Just count some numbers.
But before Lao Huang could say anything, he was scolded by Doctor Shen and pushed out of the tent.
Lao Huang was confused in the wind for a moment, and suddenly his thoughts seemed to be blown by the wind.
Although the Shen family has a large footprint in Xiqi, its foothold is not stable. After all, there are only so many benefits, and the cake is so big, it will definitely offend some people.
Especially those local forces in Xiqi, local tyrants and military generals.
However, he has always been dissatisfied with the Shen family being used in such a important manner.
If he takes the opportunity to cause trouble at this moment, it will not be easy to handle.
Lao Huang couldn't help but wonder, did the young master really not understand the danger in Xiqi at this moment?
How is it possible? No one knows its meaning better than the young master.
Lao Huang knew that the young master must have a special idea in doing this.
He couldn't help but remember that when Chaoge left, the young master also warned him not to return to Chaoge.
And now he said the same thing again, could he be implying something?
Now why do you emphasize reminding me that as a Xiqi official, I have to do business?
Master, Master, your thoughts are beyond the reach of others, and I can't even guess them.
During the song of the day, you spent all your wealth to help the poor people as if you were predicting the future.
He also knew that Xiqi might change and led the Shen family to invest in Xiqi.
Every time your idea seems ridiculous, but the results are extremely unexpected.
Thinking of this, Lao Huang felt a little ashamed.
It's all because of my poor understanding that I can't keep up with the young master at this moment.
well.
Lao Huang sighed. It seemed that he must think carefully after returning.
Of course, he has guaranteed the young master's life and will never let anyone harm him in the slightest.
…
In Xiqi Shuai's tent.
Ji Chang's health has been getting worse recently. Since his eldest son Boyikao died trying to save him in Chaoge, he has been anxious and sleepless every day, always waking up from his dreams late at night. .
For this reason, Ji Chang spent most of his time dealing with government affairs. It seemed that only in this way could he temporarily forget the unforgettable past.
Not long ago, he received a report saying that Dr. Shen, who has a long-standing reputation for Chaoge, is now in the Xiqi military camp.
After hearing this, Ji Chang's face immediately lit up and he was overjoyed. It would be a great good thing if such talents could abandon the Yin Shang Dynasty and return to Xiqi.
So he put down his government affairs without hesitation and wanted to meet the legendary man in a hurry.
He has been looking forward to his desire for talents for a long time.
But before he could leave the camp, Prime Minister Jiang Ziya hurriedly came to greet him.
He quickly said loudly:
"Prime Minister, where is Doctor Shen? I am planning to meet him. Is it okay?"
Jiang Ziya's face was a little complicated and his brows were furrowed. When he saw Ji Chang, he calmed down and bowed to salute.
As for Ji Chang's question, he was a little hesitant and said seriously:
"I am ashamed!"
Ji Chang hurriedly helped Jiang Ziya and said gently: "Why does the Prime Minister look like this? It's a good thing that Doctor Shen is here in Xiqi now."
He said and smiled:
"Prime Minister, don't worry. When the orphan comes to see Doctor Shen in person, as long as he can return to Xiqi, I will treat him with the courtesy of your Majesty."
Jiang Ziya groaned in his heart, he couldn't bear to interrupt Ji Chang's expectations.
But now that the matter has come to this, we still need to tell the truth and let him get ready. He said hurriedly:
"My lord, it is better not to go there anxiously for the time being. I have personally contacted you about Doctor Shen's matter."
"but……"
Jiang Ziya sighed and had no choice but to continue:
"Alas! My master's situation is not optimistic.
Dr. Shen is a man of integrity, loyalty, and integrity. Even when faced with money and power, he is not greedy at all and is extremely careless about life and death. It would be difficult for such a person to serve me, Xiqi. "
Ji Chang's face changed slightly, his smile was a little forced, but more of a disbelief.
In his eyes, the Shen family had already been tied to Xiqi, and as a member of the Shen family, Shen Xin would not have any surprises.
But now...
He was also a little confused.
"Maybe Doctor Shen just came to Xiqi and doesn't know the inside story."
Ji Chang sighed. Although his expression was still gentle, his brows had begun to wrinkle slightly, and there was a hint of disappointment deep in his eyes.
Then, he subconsciously smiled bitterly, and then remembered that he was confused. He had been desperately searching for talents for Xiqi these days.
At this time, he was thirsty for talents, the world was in chaos, and there were already weapons in the southeast, which made him even more anxious.
He understands that such a great sage must have an extraordinary temperament and cannot be hired in a day.
Thinking of this, Ji Chang not only smiled, but also felt that he had gone too far and was impatient.
Then he said: "Prime Minister, you are being arrogant and abrupt. Such a great sage must not be so negligent.
I want to hold a banquet in the military camp, accompanied by Xiqi's civil and military ministers, and invite Dr. Shen to the banquet, which will show the grandeur of Xiqi and our sincerity in seeking talents. "
Jiang Ziya on the side looked a little unnatural when he saw Ji Chang being so excited.
He knew very well that given Shen Xin's character, this move might not change his mind.
As he spent these days as Prime Minister in Xiqi, Jiang Ziya became more important to Ji Chang, and because of Yuxu's conferment as a god, he began to think about Xiqi all the time.
To worry about victory, worry about defeat first.
Once Shen Xin no longer surrenders to Xiqi, then Xiqi's situation will become even more passive.
Whether it was the public sentiment of the Yin Shang Dynasty or the Shen family, Jiang Ziya could definitely take it seriously.
Countermeasures must be taken in advance for this matter.
And now...
Jiang Ziya pondered for a while and said hurriedly:
"My lord, don't be anxious. The whole army still needs time to prepare for such a major event. It is better for me to contact Doctor Shen first, find out his intentions, and pave the way for my lord to seek talents next."
Jiang Ziya had a lot on his mind at the moment. He was going to test Shen Xin's thoughts personally. If he was interested in joining Xiqi, it would be a good thing.
But if this person is really unmoved and wants to be a loyal minister of the Yin Shang Dynasty, then don't blame him for doing such extraordinary things.
For those who stand in the way of becoming a god and standing in the way of the rise of Zhou and the defeat of Zhou, Jiang Ziya will never let him return to Chaoge easily.
When Ji Chang heard Jiang Ziya's words, his eyes flashed and he agreed with a smile:
"In this case, Prime Minister Lao will be there."
After the words fell, Jiang Ziya suddenly thought of something again and bowed to look at Ji Chang:
"I heard that my lord has a pot of green plum wine, which has been brought to the north. Why don't you give it to me to have a drink with Dr. Shen for a while to show my lord's kindness."
"Green plum wine... green plum wine." Ji Chang pondered for a while, seemingly thoughtful, and spoke immediately after a moment.
“Good wine is given to the wise men!”
I hope Dr. Shen can spare the Prime Minister this trouble.
