After Jiang Ziya said goodbye to Ji Chang, his face remained serious and he slowly walked out of the tent.
When he saw his disciple Wu Ji coming with wine, his eyes fell on the wine and gradually became deeper.
I couldn't help but sigh.
"Shen Xin, Shen Xin, who are you?"
He slowly thought back and felt that there was a thick fog surrounding this person, as if it was bottomless and mysterious.
How could a mere disciple of the imperial family be able to do such a thing?
In a short period of time, he became famous in Chaoge, as if he had awakened out of thin air.
In the golden palace, all the officials were shouted at and scolded, speaking righteously and sternly.
He wrote poems boldly outside the Meridian Gate and was not afraid of life or death.
Scatter millions of wealth to save the people from floods and fires, and not be afraid of evil and suppress the evil atmosphere in the palace.
He is responsible for the destiny of the Yin and Shang Dynasties and gathers the power of the common people. How can there be such a sage in the world?
The light in Jiang Ziya's eyes flickered uncertainly, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and there was a hint of doubt in the gaps in his eyes.
Is he in vain? Or a true human sage?
After a long time, Jiang Ziya raised his head and looked into the distance:
"Wuji invites Dr. Shen to come..."
Wu Ji nodded and was about to bow down to accept the order, but was immediately interrupted by Jiang Ziya the next second.
"No, you don't need to. I'll see you in person."
I want to personally invite Dr. Shen to find out the truth. Who is Shen Xin? "
When Wu Ji next to him heard this, his eyes were inexplicably horrified, and he almost dropped the wine in his hand when his steps faltered.
You must know that your teacher is a famous Kunlun scholar, Prime Minister Xiqi, and a legendary sage.
Even Ji Chang, the lord of Xiqi and one of the four major princes, greeted him respectfully and did not dare to show any slights.
On weekdays, the teacher's demeanor is even more calm, like a mountain.
But I have never seen him be so solemn to someone, and would rush to meet him in person.
Wu Ji was originally just a woodcutter in the mountains. He had no big plans and was very dull in talent.
Although he was somewhat familiar with Shen Xin's name, he didn't take it seriously because he knew that everything he had came from his mentor.
Without him, people would have died long ago.
Seeing the teacher like this, Wu Ji's impression of Shen Xin also became a little disgusting.
So he hurriedly said: "Disciple, please lead the way."
Jiang Ziya nodded.
I was worried in my heart, it would be fine if Shen Xin was not worthy of his name, but he was such a talented person that he would be a big problem for Xiqi in the future.
Nowadays, you can know whether you are virtuous or evil by just trying.
…
Sake flows through the throat, old vines climb new walls, and some girl is waiting for her lover.
Doctor Shen was in the camp, thinking about it from left to right, always feeling uneasy.
He didn't know whether this feeling meant that he was in danger or not.
Because there are times when everything is unreliable.
However, he calmed down after hearing many soldiers walking back and forth outside the tent.
These people in front of him were obviously for protection, but in fact they were guarding him. Everywhere Shen Xin went, the soldiers followed him step by step.
This kind of treatment was unique in the Xiqi military camp, and many soldiers were a little surprised at first as to why Shen Xin didn't die.
But after hearing the rumor that Shen Xin rejected Prime Minister Jiang somewhere, his face gradually became complicated.
Some people admired Shen Xin's reputation and felt excited.
And more of them angered everyone, thinking that he was a prisoner and had no good intentions.
Shen Xin's original hatred was enough, and instantly many soldiers looked on with cold eyes, saying that he would definitely die.
oh?
This is a bit strange. Not long after he left Jiang Ziya, many people already knew his identity.
It stands to reason that in the military camp, there is a clear hierarchy between soldiers and generals, and it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to know about the commander's tent.
But now not only has it been spread out, but there are also vague words that are unfavorable to myself.
It's really strange.
Could it be that someone did it on purpose?
To be honest, it was not impossible. Shen Xin's position in Xiqi Military Camp was really embarrassing at the moment. He was not only an enemy general, but also a captured prisoner.
He even represents the Shen family.
What is the concept of the Shen family? Xiqi's upstarts have monopolized Xiqi's arms and food with the support of Ji Chang.
The profits here are huge enough to make people jealous, especially the original nobles of Xiqi.
Touching money is like killing your parents. Outsiders like the Shen family will become a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh no matter how careful they are overtly or covertly.
I wish the Shen family would collapse immediately and then be taken over by them.
If Shen Xin really accepts Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya's invitation to come to Xiqi and be re-employed, I'm afraid someone will immediately jump out and try to stop him impatiently.
Otherwise, once the Shen family is allowed to continue to stand firm, the rest of the family will no longer be able to stand up.
Doctor Shen thought of this, nodded secretly, and almost laughed out loud.
OK! OK!
I didn’t expect that I was actually a little genius.
Throwing the Shen family to Xiqi accidentally caused him danger.
This is good, and another layer of insurance has been added invisibly.
It was so wonderful, Doctor Shen really wanted to cheer up his enemies and make them tougher.
Be sure not to soften too quickly.
Thinking of this, Doctor Shen leisurely found a place to lie down, twisting left and right, feeling uncomfortable.
So he borrowed tools and prepared to dig a better cemetery for himself in the military camp before he died.
When a saint dies, there should be arrangements and a sense of ceremony.
However, his actions shocked everyone around him.
"Doctor Shen, I...we are here to protect you, not..."
The guards beside them had complicated expressions. This was the first time they saw someone digging their own grave, and they even called on everyone to join in.
In an instant, Bengbu stopped.
They originally wanted to refuse, but under Dr. Shen's insistence and the temptation of the Shen family's money, they resolutely chose to accept it.
It's just a hole dug, nothing big will happen, and you'll get paid.
Even Prime Minister Jiang once made it clear that Doctor Shen must try his best to satisfy everything he does.
then……
Grave-digging began in full swing in the Xiqi camp.
Outside the tent, Jiang Ziya and Wu Ji slowly found where Shen Xin was, but when they looked from a distance, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
what's the situation?
what happened?
Wu Ji whispered behind him: "Teacher, if Shen Xin behaves like this, is he planning to escape?"
The soldiers beside him saluted respectfully and quickly came to report in a low voice:
"Prime Minister, this is what Doctor Shen asked us to do. It is said...it is said that this is the grave that Doctor Shen prepared for himself."
Jiang Ziya heard clearly and walked forward slowly while waving everyone away.
The solemn look between his eyebrows actually increased a few times, and his heart was deeply shocked at this moment.
Digging a grave and preparing a cemetery for himself, no matter what, it shows that this person is willing to die to express his ambition.
Jiang Ziya couldn't help but marvel: "Doctor Shen is so loyal and brave, Xiqi is so unfortunate!"
Shen Xin, a stranger outside the tent, also felt it, but he ignored it and continued to watch the soldiers digging soil in the tent leisurely.
Suddenly, Wuji strode in with dozens of people and shouted loudly.
"The Prime Minister is here, why don't you come to greet me quickly?"
Prime Minister?
The soldiers around him were stunned for a moment after hearing this, and their whole bodies were shaking as if they were frightened. Why is the Prime Minister here?
Not long after he took action, he met the Prime Minister?
Everyone was panic-stricken, and hurriedly dropped the grave-digging tools in their hands, carefully walked out of the tent and knelt down to greet him.
When Wu Ji saw the panic of the generals, he subconsciously wanted to nod.
But when he turned his gaze to Shen Xin, he looked a little stunned for a moment, and then he became angry.
The man in front of me was so calm, so calm that it made people feel a little scary.
He broke in with dozens of sergeants, but he didn't even raise his eyelids.
Even if you look carefully, you can see that there is a smile on the corner of this man's handsome and proud mouth.
ridicule! The ultimate ridicule!
It was as if he was of no importance at all, as if the person in front of him was not afraid at all.
Wuji's anger was instantly ignited at this moment.
He raised his hand and slowly grasped the long sword at his waist, walked back and forth for a few steps in front of Shen Xin, and then continued:
"The Prime Minister has arrived outside the tent, and I would like to ask Doctor Shen to show up."
Doctor Shen lay back lazily and asked casually:
"Are you here to kill me?"
This nonchalant tone immediately stopped Wu Ji, but there were waves in his heart.
What the hell, are you really not afraid of death? This is the prime minister of Xiqi, the prime minister who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Now, shouldn't you feel honored that such a big shot comes to see you, a prisoner, in person?
And you must know that your life is still in our hands, and we can decide life or death at any time.
Are you still pretending to be a b at this time?
If the old man eats arsenic, do you think he will live longer?
Wu Ji felt in disbelief, but he was helpless because the teacher had not ordered him to touch this person.
He had to grit his teeth and endure:
"No!"
Dr. Shen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard these two words, and he didn't want to talk to Wu Ji anymore.
If you don't come and kill me, you're here to do it.
Want to rob my tomb? Dig it yourself!
So he said without a good face:
"Oh, I understand, then let Jiang Ziya come in to see me."
"you you……"
Wu Ji's face instantly turned ugly and arrogant. This person is too arrogant. His teacher is the prime minister of Xiqi, and you are just a prisoner.
Do you understand your identity? How dare you be so arrogant.
How is it possible for the Prime Minister to come to see you?
Wu Ji angrily was about to wave his hand and ask the soldiers behind him to carry Shen Xin out.
Jiang Ziya's voice came from beside him:
"Wuji must not be rude to Doctor Shen, and put the green plum wine away. Please step aside."
this!
Wuji looked confused and was shocked. He didn't expect that the person in front of him would have such great dignity.
However, although he was not angry with Shen Xin in his eyes, he was extremely respectful to Jiang Ziya.
He had no choice but to set up his position and slowly step aside.
At this moment, Jiang Ziya walked towards Shen Xin with a smile on his face, held his arm and pulled him to the table, saying:
"Doctor Shen's name has been well-known since he was still in Xiqi, but it's a pity that he has never been seen."
Jiang Ziya's sudden enthusiasm caught Dr. Shen off guard.
It was actually a little bit broken.
Jiang Ziya didn’t come to kill me? Shouldn't this be true?
He had clearly felt the killing intent in Jiang Ziya's eyes before, and he was confident that Xiqi would never let him go easily.
But why are you so enthusiastic?
The next second he knew the reason.
"My lord, King Wen, is very thirsty for talents. He wants to hire a doctor to help the world and bring peace to the people."
"So I chose an auspicious day, fasted for three days, bathed and changed my clothes, held a banquet in the army, accompanied by civil and military officials, and invited the officials to come."
…
Hosting a banquet? Three days later?
Do I have to wait three days to die?
No, Doctor Shen felt that he couldn't wait even a moment.
Calm down, must be calm.
Shen Xin took a deep breath, he could never give him this hope, and quickly replied resolutely:
"Prime Minister Jiang, please stop trying to persuade me."
"A loyal minister would rather die than be humiliated. How can a man have the right to serve two masters?"
"In this life, Shen Xin does not seek fame, he only seeks death!"
After saying that, Doctor Shen stepped forward proudly, even more prepared to die generously.
Jiang Ziya let out a long sigh when he saw this. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried at this moment.
Fortunately, he met a loyal minister today, a truly loyal minister who was not afraid of life and death.
The actions of such a heroic man in the Yin and Shang Dynasties were certainly true.
What is worrying is that these loyal ministers are not from Xiqi, and he cannot be a minister with them.
It would be Xiqi's misfortune if he becomes his rival in the future.
"That's it, that's all."
"Doctor Shen, we won't talk about this for today. My lord heard that Dr. Shen was here and gave me a bottle of Xiqi green plum wine."
"Shang was overjoyed to hear it, and suddenly realized that a few years ago, when I was in Chaoge, everything went wrong, and I used to make a living by selling fortune telling."
"Only because of the provocation by the evildoer, Prime Minister Meng Bigan recommended him to serve on the Tiantai and stay in the imperial court."
Jiang Ziya sighed as if remembering.
"Later, because the enchantress Daji built a deer platform with evil intentions, she faked her death and threw herself into the river to go to Xiqi, where she could meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty."
If we count, the doctor and I were once in the same palace as ministers. Recalling those years, I would like to borrow this green plum hot wine and invite the doctor to come and drink together. "
Doctor Shen:......
I don't want to drink or have a relationship with you. Please continue talking about killing me.
What if feelings develop while drinking and chatting?
Dr. Shen felt very uncomfortable and wanted to bring the topic back.
"Prime Minister Jiang, if you know me well, you should understand that I, Shen Xin, am not afraid of life or death. I pretend to be the Yin Shang Dynasty and the people of the world in my heart."
"As long as I am here, I will stop Xiqi from attacking Beichong."
"The evil deeds of Chonghou Hu are too numerous to be described, and both humans and gods are indignant. However, it is not King Wen who can punish him, but the people who need to punish him are the people of the world and the thousands of people in the north of Chaoge."
Doctor Shen's hint is very obvious, if you don't kill me, then he will confront Xiqi to the end.
The two sides will become enemies. Anyway, your idea of Xiqi using Chonghou Hu to gain reputation will never be realized.
Jiang Ziya knew it, but he just frowned and then gently opened it.
He was very torn at the moment. The murderous intention and respect in his heart were mixed. The stronger the respect, the stronger the murderous intention, but it made it difficult to make a choice.
Even so, Jiang Ziya couldn't help but raise his glass and felt deep admiration.
"Doctor Shen, I didn't expect you to be more dedicated to the country and the people, and more righteous than I imagined."
"Today I would like to pay a toast to the doctor."
Shen Xin:......
I always feel that he is enduring it, and enduring it very hard.
But there is nothing I can do.
This seems different from what I imagined.
If it doesn't work, you have to live in danger.
When you are in danger, you must always be careful that you will turn danger into safety.
So Dr. Shen decided to take it slow.
He raised the wine glass in front of him and slowly fell into sadness.
Place green plums on a plate and boil wine in a bottle. The two of them sat opposite each other, but their moods were different.
As the saying goes, drinking wine makes you sad and makes you even more sad.
Dr. Shen was so worried that he drank a few more drinks and almost couldn't help but lie down in the unfinished grave.
Halfway through the wine, suddenly there were dark clouds outside the tent, indicating that rain was coming.
The two of them became more and more bored and gradually walked towards the tent door, watching drunkenly.
After a while, Jiang Ziya seemed to have something meaningful in his eyes.
Suddenly he pointed to the sky and asked: "Does the doctor know the dragon's transformation?"
Shen Xin felt a little helpless and nodded casually. Not only did he know it, he had also seen it.
The old dragon of the Four Seas is quite ugly, but it is said that the dragon girl is quite beautiful...
But Doctor Shen didn't want to pay attention to him.
Just casual perfunctory.
Jiang Ziya didn't seem to feel Shen Xin's helplessness at all. Instead, he took a step forward and stood beside him, pointing to the rain curtain in front of him with emotion and saying:
"A dragon can be big or small, it can rise or disappear; if it is big, it can stir up clouds and spit out mist; if it is small, it can hide and hide its form; if it rises, it can soar in the universe; if it is hidden, it can lurk within the waves.
Spring is deep now, the dragon rides on time and changes, and still people are determined to travel across the four seas. The dragon is a thing, comparable to the heroes of the world.
Dr. Shen has traveled all over the world for a long time and must know the heroes of the world. Please give me some advice...
Shen Xin:......
