Wen Zhong pretended not to see Shen Gongbao's face turning purple, twirling his white, standing beard, and continued: "Last night, a fast horse from the East came to report that Dong Bohou's remaining troops rebelled and fell into the city. Seven hundred miles of erosion. I, the great merchant, have an army of 150,000 in Dongyi. If we don’t suppress this group of rebels, our army will probably be defeated because of the lack of food routes."
Chu Feng understood this immediately. The great Shang Grand Master who had just returned from Beihai was going to lead his troops to leave Chaoge and go to the east to protect the food routes for the 150,000-strong army heading east.
In the original plot, Wen Zhong appeared briefly and disappeared again. He only appeared in the Western Expedition when the defeat of the Shang Dynasty was certain. It seemed that it was because of another rebellion in the East.
Let's make a hypothesis here. If Wen Zhong had not left Chaoge, would the Shang Dynasty have perished? The answer is, definitely yes. If three saints and one Hongjun said that the Shang Dynasty would be destroyed, what could one Wen Zhong do?
Shen Gongbao on the side couldn't help but interjected: "How many battlefields have you opened up? 150,000 people conquered the Dongyi army. Before you fought in Beihai, plus the Dongbohou Rebellion and the Suhu Rebellion in Jizhou during this period, Xibohou Rebellion. Your country is really confident."
To put it in a more life-like way, it means that in a country that uses too much troops, if the king still dares to be so promiscuous, he is really looking for death.
Wen Zhong's face froze. What kind of confidence? This was not done by the king.
"There were two battlefields before, one was the Beihai battlefield and the other was the Dongyi battlefield. Two to three hundred thousand troops were mobilized. Food and grass were transported and collected on the spot, which was barely enough to support them.
I didn’t expect that when I came back this time, alas..."
To be honest, Wen Zhong was also very annoyed when he came back this time. He had spent all his efforts to wipe out the rebels in Beihai. When he came back, the world was in chaos. If the king hadn't been too young, he might have staged a full-scale martial arts show in the palace.
Shen Gongbao smiled unkindly.
"With two to three hundred thousand soldiers fighting outside all year round, your king still dares to set fires everywhere in the country. He is truly a holy king."
As a native of the Xia Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, Shen Gongbao himself had no favorable impression of the rebel-like Shang Dynasty, so he would naturally make a mockery of it when he got the chance.
Wen Zhong didn't like Shen Gongbao's sarcastic words and retorted: "Before I left, although the king was a little irritable, he was still very kingly. I don't know why during this period, he became like this. Weird, weird."
A monarch who obeyed his advice suddenly turned into another person. Wen Zhong also expressed his helplessness and confusion.
If Wen Zhong knew about the existence of time-travelers and such animals, he would definitely find an expert to check King Zhou's sea of consciousness to see if his body had been taken away.
As the person who informed the overall situation, this issue was naturally explained by Chu Feng.
"Earlier, when the king was offering incense in the Wa Palace, he wrote a poem that was blasphemous to the Nuwa Empress. Bigan and Shang Rong erased it. Later, I don't know who restored the writing, and it happened that the mortal Nuwa Empress could see it. When he arrived, he became furious and wanted to kill the king on the spot, but the fate of the country was still there, so he could not take action, so Nuwa Empress sent a nine-tailed fox to confuse the king, so as to speed up the destruction of the country."
This explanation made Wen Zhong stunned. There was such a thing.
After hearing what Chu Feng said about this, Shen Gongbao suddenly remembered something and his expression suddenly changed.
"Brother Dao, you are so courageous that you actually killed the nine-tailed fox sent by Empress Nuwa to destroy the Great Shang Dynasty. Do you know how small-minded the only female saint in the world is? You are not afraid of her slapping you to death.
Oops, I fell into your trap. If I had known it was sent by Nuwa, Pindao would have avoided the nine-tailed fox. Now Pindao has become an accomplice. "
At this point, Shen Gongbao turned into a sad face. The Hard Steel Chan Cult was already a scam, and he also had a conflict with the only female saint. He was afraid that he would die without a burial place.
My life is so miserable.
Chu Feng smiled unkindly like Shen Gongbao just now.
"Whether it's more serious to kill the little demon she randomly sent, or whether it's more serious to talk about her being petty behind her back, you have to weigh it yourself."
Shen Gongbao's expression was stagnant, and he said the wrong thing without hesitation.
"The saint claims to know everything. If you say such things to Nuwa, she must be able to feel it. Fellow Daoist Shen Gong has to say that you are very talented. Since ancient times, I am afraid that you are the first person who dares to slander a saint in public."
Chu Feng had an "I admire you" expression on his face.
Shen Gongbao's face turned green. He was obviously watching the joke, but he accidentally said that Nuwa was petty.
Bigan and Wen Zhong looked at Shen Gongbao with sympathetic eyes. Everyone in the world knows that women are small-minded, but you can't say it. Moreover, she is the only female saint in the world.
"not good"
Chu Feng exclaimed, hugging Bigan, Wen Zhong and King Zhou beside him, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Before Shen Gongbao understood what was happening, a thunderous sound like the collapse of Mount Tai came, and along with a heartbreaking pain, his vision blurred.
…
In the square, Chu Feng quietly looked at the main hall that had become ruins.
Just now he noticed a thunderbolt coming from the void, and he immediately retreated with Bigan and others. The reason why he did not take Shen Gongbao with him was because the thunder was coming towards Shen Gongbao.
Wen Zhong frowned and said, "If you say you are not a saint behind your back, you will be punished by God. I didn't expect it to be true."
Bigan asked with concern: "I wonder how Master Shen Gong is doing?"
"He's still alive, but his injuries are unclear."
Chu Feng walked over with a strange look on his face.
When he came to the ruins, he waved his hand, and some boulders and beams weighing thousands of kilograms flew to the side, making a loud noise and bringing up a puff of smoke.
"Well, where are the people?"
Clearly feeling that there was nothing here, Chu Feng was stunned, and then searched the side carefully with his spiritual consciousness. There was nothing except a few pieces of burnt skin.
Could it be?
Chu Feng suddenly looked into the air. Could it be that Shen Gongbao was taken away by Nuwa Empress?
…
At this time, in a strange space, Shen Gongbao, who was completely charred and had no human appearance at all, looked at the graceful and calm woman standing not far away with trepidation.
"Empress Nuwa"
The woman was graceful and elegant, but she had no reaction when she heard Shen Gongbao's words.
The more this happened, the more frightened Shen Gongbao, this despicable and shameless villain, could hear the sound of his teeth chattering clearly.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Empress Nuwa opened her mouth lightly, her tone was indifferent, without a trace of human emotion.
Shen Gongbao originally wanted to kneel down, but then he thought that he might not be able to survive by begging, so he simply rubbed his neck and said: "Nuwa is holy and unparalleled. It's too late for me to be happy, so how can I be afraid!"
Empress Nuwa was noncommittal, and her phantom flashed past Shen Gongbao and appeared on the throne in the distance, looking down at Shen Gongbao.
"What did you just say about me?"
Shen Gongbao's face turned green. Sure enough, that's why he came here. The woman was really petty. She just said a word and came to her door. What should I do? What should I do?
