In the Xianqing Hall, golden lamps swayed, and drums sounded brightly outside the hall.
Countless ministers filed in from outside the Meridian Gate in a panic and hurried forward.
The scorching sun was high in the sky, and the scorching sunshine was shining on the body, as if it was going to bake people to perfection. Even the imperial guards standing around could not bear the strange weather, and could not help but frown.
The officials were wrapped in thick court clothes, sweating profusely as they walked, and soon became out of breath.
But the drumming in my ears was like a mantra, making people anxious.
At this moment, when they finally arrived outside the Xianqing Hall, Baiguan straightened his clothes. When he saw that King Zhou was already at the top, he immediately became extremely serious again.
Wang Shubi Gan stood in front of the ministers, holding the report from outside Sishui Pass in his hands. His hands were trembling and his face was pale.
Because Wen Zhong had already repaired his book and came to Chaoge City before the decisive battle with Xiqi. He sent officials to cross the Yellow River, went to Mengjin, and came to the palace.
It was Bigan who read the book today. After learning that Sishui Pass was about to be breached, he immediately came to see King Zhou.
His face was full of tears, he shouted loudly, fell to the ground, and said:
"Your Majesty, now Jiang Shang has broken the Zhuxian Sword Formation and has besieged Sishui Pass for many days. There is no news about Doctor Shen. He is not sure whether he is alive or dead. Hearing that the Grand Master has lost his troops and generals, there is no way to support him. He is in danger."
"Your Majesty, please send reinforcements quickly and come early to help defend. Otherwise, Doctor Shen and Grand Master Wen will be in danger. What's more, Bishui Pass is the gateway to the Five Passes, so we must not slack off."
Then Bigan paused and continued:
"Now Xiqi is powerful, and the princes and allies are helping each other. If we don't pay attention to it, we are afraid that the world will respond and the heroes will fight. It will be too late to regret it."
"The matter is urgent. Now that I have seen this retribution, I have been burned physically and mentally. I don't know what to do. I hope your Majesty will seek wise men early to manage the affairs of the country. I will worship the generals to suppress rebellion, correct evil and train the army and the people, and cultivate benevolent government to bring about change." The common people will not lose the ancestral temple of Chengtang."
After Bigan finished speaking, he fell to the ground, feeling anxious and overly sad, especially since he didn't know whether Dr. Shen was alive or dead. When he heard that the Grand Master was about to destroy the city and everyone was about to die, he felt like the sky was about to collapse.
Not only Bigan, but also the civil and military personnel of the entire court were in an uproar.
When King Zhou heard the memorial, he was also shocked. He frowned for a moment and murmured to himself: "If this is the case, I am afraid that Doctor Shen and Grand Master Wen will be divorced!"
"Ji Fa is so rampant and his crime cannot be punished. Your Majesty is relieved. I am willing to send a strong force to rescue the Si River."
Fei Lian, the official among the officials, suddenly stood up and prepared to ask for orders.
But King Zhou lost his mind after hearing this bad news. His eyes were red and he was filled with anger. He was so anxious that he wanted to fly directly to Sishui Pass to kill the child Ji Fa and save Doctor Shen and Master Wen from the sea of misery. .
"boom!"
Regardless of everything, he stood up suddenly, swept down the memorials on the imperial eucalyptus in front of him, made up his mind, and said without hesitation:
"Ji Fa has rebelled, and now he has invaded Gu's pass, overthrown his army, killed generals, and destroyed my foundation. It's so hateful! I'm the commander of Gu's army and will go on a personal expedition to get rid of the great evil."
"I swear that the sun and the moon are different from Xiqi!"
"What? The imperial commander personally marches?"
These angry words echoed in the ears of the ministers, causing a sudden change in people's faces, which was no less shocking than the report just delivered to Sishui Pass.
The imperial commander's personal expedition is a battle that bets on the fate of the country. If it fails, if there is even the slightest mistake, the entire Yin and Shang world will be in turmoil!
In the past, there was Doctor Shen, and I heard that the Grand Master was blocking the Zhou soldiers, but now they don't know whether they are alive or dead. So how strong can Xiqi be?
Once King Zhou leaves, I'm afraid there will be no chance of victory!
Suddenly, the noise suddenly rose. All the officials looked at each other and fell to their knees. Some even kept kowtowing, hoping that King Zhou would take back his life.
However, before the officials could speak to dissuade them, they saw the sound of the collision of spiritual ornaments echoing in the hall, the fragrant wind blowing through the lamp flames, and the eyes of everyone in front of them were dazzled.
A person walked out of the hall in a hurry, with a golden hairpin swaying on his head, gorgeous and revealing clothes, a enchanting face, and a smile that inadvertently charmed all living beings.
Daji was excited, she frowned, and regardless of everyone's eyes, she walked up to the main hall and stopped her:
"Your Majesty, no!"
As she spoke, she became even more anxious. Yesterday, when King Zhou had the idea of conquering the emperor himself, she did not close her eyes all night in the palace. She was thinking a lot, but she still came to stop it despite the injustice of the world!
It is not just a trivial matter for the imperial commander to personally conquer the country. As a person sent by the Empress Nuwa to bring trouble to the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Daji must also know some of the inside story of becoming a god.
Once King Zhou goes to Xiqi, he will definitely not be able to come back alive!
The Chan Sect conferred the title of God on behalf of Heaven, and King Zhou offended the Empress Nuwa. It was destiny, and the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect would definitely take action, and by then it would be too late to destroy it.
"There are eighteen princes garrisoning troops outside Sishui Pass today. As soon as they heard that Your Majesty was marching out, they blocked Your Majesty and made the world respond. Our retreat will be cut off. This is not a foolproof way."
"Your Majesty can put out a list to recruit talents and offer big rewards, and the famous ones will come to you in response to the request. There is an ancient saying: 'Under a heavy reward, there will be a brave man.' And why would your Majesty personally control the six divisions and compete with the rebels? Are you ready to go?"
King Zhou knew what Daji was going to say, but he had already made up his mind and replied without hesitation:
"The evil thief of Xiqi has taken over the city of Guan and harmed Dr. Gu and the Grand Master. How can we let go of such hatred? I hate that I can't eat his flesh and destroy his clan. Fang Xue hates me! Why should I stop my beloved wife? "
"Your Majesty, you should put the world first and don't put yourself in danger. This is the best policy."
Good guy.
All the ministers in the court were completely at a loss at this moment. They did not expect that such words as putting the world first could actually be heard from Daji's mouth?
It's simply a great irony. If it weren't for you, the Demon Queen, how could the world be in turmoil? How could the Yin Shang reach such a state?
But I wanted to think about it, but no one dared to refute it.
Now that Doctor Shen and Grand Master Wen are no longer in Chaoge, no one can deal with this evildoer without their two great backers.
Daji was just too excited to say such words. She really cared about King Zhou's safety and wanted to stop him from seeking death.
Daji felt very uneasy when she thought of the plans of the empress and Chanjiao.
It stands to reason that she is a nine-tailed fox who has been practicing for thousands of years. Under the orders of Empress Nuwa, she takes charge of the palace to bring trouble to the Yin and Shang world. But now that King Zhou is in danger, she actually doesn't know what she should do.
The only thing Daji could do was to stop him. He didn't want King Zhou to die so quickly.
…
But King Zhou had already made up his mind. He swung his royal robe and kicked the bookcase in front of him. He was so angry that he couldn't help shouting:
"Although I have a body of thousands of chariots, I am not a timid person. If I am not Doctor Shen now, I will take revenge on the Grand Master. Even though I have thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, why is it valuable?"
"I have made up my mind, no more advice!"
"Your Majesty..." Seeing that King Zhou was unmoved, Daji murmured and looked forward, clenching her fingers as if attracted by the domineering power he displayed.
Yes, you are the common master of this world after all, the king of Yin and Shang.
If you are really just a coward, then why should I fall in love with you?
Having said this, Daji took a deep breath and slowly spoke to King Zhou:
"Xiqi Mountain is high and the water is far away, and the road is boring. I would like to accompany your majesty to Xiqi for your entertainment."
After saying that, she paused and continued: I have several friends with excellent martial arts skills and even more profound Taoist skills, who can help His Majesty in his expedition to the west. "
"Oh? My beloved wife recognizes such a strange person. Please come up quickly and accompany my army!" King Zhou was very surprised when he heard Daji's words. He knew that she was a thousand-year-old fox demon, and the person she recommended must be of great importance.
Now is the time to recruit people for the expedition to Xiqi. If the other party can help, they will have a better chance of winning.
Daji left, and the affairs of the court came to an end. Many ministers tried to persuade him to no avail. Except for Doctor Shen and Grand Master Wen, no one could stop King Zhou's will.
Since King Zhou had made the decision to lead the expedition in person, such a big news naturally spread throughout Chaoge quickly.
It caused a sensation in all directions and brought the entire Chaoge City to a standstill.
All the people were panicked several times in one day.
A few days before the army set off, three heroes came to Chaoge City and went straight to the Meridian Gate to meet King Zhou.
Seeing that the three men looked fierce and had a letter from Daji Empress, the city guarding sergeant did not dare to neglect them, and the imperial army reported to the inner palace.
King Zhou waved his hand: "Please come to the palace."
After the three of them followed the imperial army into the palace, they greeted King Zhou and said slowly:
"After hearing the invitation from Empress Daji, Your Majesty wants to recruit the world's wise men to conquer Xiqi. The three of you know that you are not talented, but Your Majesty has something to do, and you are willing to donate dogs and horses to help you."
King Zhou's eyes moved, and he saw that the three of them were all very different from ordinary people. He obviously had a guess, but he didn't expose it, so he ordered someone to give the three of them a seat.
】
But the three of them were polite and said: "We are all the people of Lu Yan. Your Majesty is on top, how dare you, the people, sit down."
King Zhou felt something interesting after hearing this, and replied: "I seek talents to rule the country, and hire heroes to stabilize the country. Although I am high in rank and salary, I will accept it without any hesitation, so why not just sit here."
After the three people confessed their sins, they sat down.
King Zhou asked: "I heard from my beloved concubine that you have amazing talents. Don't you know the names of the three of you? Who are their names? Where do they live?"
One of them slowly stepped forward, cupped his fists and raised his hands:
"The last general's name is Yuan Hong, and he is from Meishan. There are six brothers in total, and they are all called the "Seven Saints of Meishan". The first three surrendered, and the rest will come one after another."
After Yuan Hong finished speaking, Wu Long and Chang Hao beside him also came forward to greet him.
And just as King Zhou thought, these people are not human beings, but monsters. Yuan Hong is a white ape spirit; Wu Long is a centipede spirit; Chang Hao is a long snake spirit. The three of them pretend to be Yuan "" and "Wu" , It’s just a “three-character” name.
Although King Zhou didn't know about this, he could guess a little bit after reading the names of the three people. But what can he do? With Gu Gu, the other party is so difficult that he can turn the world upside down!
King Zhou's eyes flashed with light, and an emperor-like pressure suddenly rose. Yuan Hong felt that the magic power in front of him began to stagnate, and he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and looked up.
But in an instant, King Zhou calmed down his momentum and asked slowly:
"Your Majesty, please come here and see if there is any clever way to defeat Xiqi."
Yuan Hong lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then began to play: "Jiang Shang used false words and clever words to unite the princes of the world and encourage Li Shu to rebel."
"In my humble opinion, I will first support Sishui Pass and capture Jiang Shang, and then I will see your Majesty on the 18th Road issue an edict to appease him, pardon my previous sins, and the world will be at peace without a war."
When King Zhou heard the report, he neither nodded nor shook his head. Instead, he directly appointed Yuan Hong as a general, led Wu Long and Chang Hao to Sishui Pass to rescue Grand Master Wen, and ordered Yin PoBai to join the army. Lei Kai As the governor of the five armies, Yin Chengxiu, Lei Shu, Lei Peng, Lu Renjie and others accompanied the army on the expedition.
Xiqi Central Army, Jiang Ziya was having a banquet with Ji Fa, and both of them were extremely excited at this moment.
Because news has come from the front that Sishui Pass has been breached by the Allied forces and is now in the hands of several parties.
With this great victory, Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya were instantly overjoyed. It was the first time in their lives that they had achieved such a victory.
You must know that Shen Xin had been suppressed and beaten before, and he had never won. If it weren't for the frequent help from the Golden Immortal of the Chan Cult and the Saint, I'm afraid Xiqi would have been defeated long ago.
But now that he has won the Sishui Pass, he is simply at a loss.
The victory came so suddenly, I didn’t know what to do.
And the most important thing is that in a moment, even Shen Xin and Wen Zhong will die on the Juelong Ridge.
Being able to get rid of the two jade pillar-like existences of the Yin and Shang Dynasties in a row, Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya can really wake up from their dreams with smiles.
"Come, Xiangfu, today I will offer you a glass of this celebratory wine in advance. This is a great joy, a great joy!"
"Thank you, King Wu, please!" Jiang Ziya also smiled, and the two of them happily drank one cup after another, while slowly waiting for the great results brought by Master Puxian and Yun Zhongzi.
Although it was getting dark now, no one was sleepy. Today's events were simply too important. Only by hearing the news of Shen Xin and Wen Zhongshen's death in person could people rest peacefully.
Just waiting like this, I don’t know how long it took.
Finally Jiang Ziya saw a golden light suddenly coming from outside the sky, and then laughed loudly:
"King Wu has achieved great things, Shen Xin will definitely die!"
Then he quickly walked out, ready to greet their Xiqi hero, but after just a few steps Jiang Ziya hesitated.
Wait, why does the situation look a little wrong? Why is Taoist Brother Yun Zhongzi's Dun Guang a bit embarrassed? There is not even a hint of joy after victory, but he runs away in panic like a bereaved dog.
That's right, it's the lost dog.
At this moment, Yun Zhongzi looked panicked and pale. He couldn't tell what his expression was, but it was definitely not what a winner should look like.
Jiang Ziya's eyes were full of doubts. He raised his head and took a deep breath secretly. He asked somewhat unconfidently:
"Brother Dao, will Shen Xin die after hearing this?"
At this moment, Yun Zhongzi fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment, looking at Jiang Ziya walking forward with disheveled hair, without any trace of his previous demeanor as a Taoist immortal.
He seemed to be muttering to himself, using the lightest words to express the cruelest reality: "Fellow Taoist Samantabhadra is dead!"
"This..." Jiang Ziya was at a loss for a moment with extremely shocked eyes, and was completely stunned on the spot.
"How is it possible...how is it possible..."
After a while, Yun Zhongzi calmed down slightly: "The Four Swords of Killing Immortals were given by Master Tongtian, so that fellow Taoist Puxian was unprepared and was killed on the spot by the sword energy."
"The plan has completely failed. I am here now to tell you not to provoke Shen Xin for the time being. He is not someone who can handle it now."
"Pindao is going to Yuxu Palace to see the teacher. Before I come back, Ziya, you must not act rashly!"
Jiang Ziya stood blankly on the spot, not sure if he heard Yun Zhongzi's words, and even didn't react at all when the other party left.
And just when he couldn't accept it, another bad news came over, and some soldiers reported in a panic:
"Prime Minister, something bad has happened. Sishui Pass has been seized by the Guifang tribe. All the princes are under house arrest in the city. They are in danger!"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ziya thought to himself: "If my plan fails, I will lose my troops and generals, Brother Puxian!" Then he shouted loudly, vomited blood, and fell to the ground.
Everyone rushed to save him, but he was already unconscious.
