"This... Your Majesty, the son of a rich man, cannot sit down in court! As our great merchant king, you are responsible for the safety of thousands of people. How can you go to the front line and take risks?"
Li Jing pretended to block it, and the generals on the side also understood and spoke in agreement.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's just a small Xiqi. How can it be necessary for Your Majesty to conquer it personally?"
"Give me 30,000 soldiers, and I will bring the boy's head!"
"Why do you need 30,000? The general only needs 10,000!"
"I have five thousand!"
"I have three thousand!"
Seeing that the generals were getting more and more outrageous, Di Xin suddenly slapped the crest of the throne, and the huge sound instantly suppressed the entire audience!
"What if the court is a vegetable market? Are all the awesome people boasting to the sky?"
"An army of 3,000 people swept through Xiqi... I led an army of 30,000 people before and failed to capture it. Which general is so good that he thinks he is ten times stronger than Gu?"
"Tell me, why didn't anyone say anything?"
Di Xin patted his phoenix head, pointed at the generals below and spat... all the generals lowered their heads, including Li Jing, and remained silent, not daring to look at Di Xin!
"Hmph! Each of them is not very good at cultivation, but they are better at bragging than the other."
Di Xin snorted again and sat back down.
"Your Majesty," Li Jing came out: "Although what you generals just boasted is indeed a bit outrageous. It is really unreliable that an army of three thousand or five thousand can capture Xiqi... But to defeat a small Xiqi, it is indeed unnecessary." The king goes to war."
"If your Majesty is worried about the power of Immortal Xiqi, why not let me lead the team myself..."
"Prime Minister Li," Di Xin directly interrupted Li Jing: "Don't forget that Gu's two princes were kidnapped by the Golden Immortal of Chanjiao while they were still in the King's Palace. Gu went there in person, and he didn't dare to guarantee his own safety. , are you sure you can do it?”
"This...Wei Chen doesn't dare."
Li Jing hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "If the saint attacks me, I'm afraid I won't have any room to resist!"
"That's fine then."
Di Xin rolled his eyes: "As the right prime minister of the Great Shang Dynasty, you can't withstand the attack of the saint. As the commander of an army, if something happens to you, the entire army will collapse! Then Xiqi will take advantage of the chaos to attack and seize the city. You don’t understand how much harm it will cause?”
"The immortal intervened rashly..."
Li Jing tried to say something more, but Di Xin interrupted him again.
"Don't say that immortals don't dare to do anything... they even dare to come to the palace to kidnap the prince, and even slaughtered mortal soldiers in the battle of deer. Do you still dare to have confidence in the moral integrity of immortals?"
"Furthermore, senior executives of Dashang, apart from Gu, who among you has not learned one or two spells and is not considered a monk?"
This last sentence was the last straw, and everyone who was completely suppressed had nothing to say.
Seeing that no one had any more opinions, Di Xin nodded with satisfaction: "Li Jing, this war will be completely reduced to a battlefield of immortal magic battles. Ordinary soldiers do not need to be deployed, the ones at Sishui Pass are enough..."
"This expedition will completely eliminate Xiqi and unify the world... Therefore, all members of the Imperial Prefecture will go out!"
"General of the Imperial Court: Except for Li Jing, who will stay in the imperial court to take charge of the overall situation, all the other people with cultivation will go to the battlefield!"
A sharp light flashed in Di Xin's eyes. This time, he will show no mercy, kill the Golden Immortal, draw out the Saint, and completely resolve this battle to become a god!
[Twelve Golden Immortals, I’m sorry. For self-immolation, for bringing out saints, you should also die! 】
"My lord, take the order!"
After all the ministers bowed down, Emperor Xin nodded with satisfaction, and once again told him to set out for the expedition tomorrow, he left the Nine Rooms Hall and returned to his palace.
After Emperor Xin left, Li Jing, Jiang Ziya and others did not leave. They continued to stay in the palace for a meeting to discuss the war!
"Xiang Jiang," Li Jing's eyes flashed with sternness: "How about the logistics and weapons research?"
Jiang Ziya first looked at the Ministry of Industry. Luo Xuan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, came out: "With the unified weights and measures, the research and production of Linggun and Lingbao has been greatly accelerated. Now all production has been completed, and spare weapons have been stored in the warehouse. ...According to our experiments, the entire army can be equipped and familiar with its use in three months at most!"
"good!"
Li Jing thought for a while, nodded and replied: "Even if it leads to a war between saints, three months is still a time that can be delayed...enough!"
"Deng Jiugong, Lu Xiong, Zhang Shan, Huang Feihu!"
"The general is here!"
Four people came out one after another and responded loudly!
"The four of you only know the art of battle formations, and are familiar with human martial arts, but don't know Taoism... In this war, you don't have to go to the front line. Stay with me in Chaoge to rectify the new army!"
There was no dissatisfaction on the faces of the four people. On the contrary, they understood the meaning of the new army better! The new army is the main force for their attack on Heaven!
"The general will obey the order!"
The four of them responded with excitement and clasped their fists, showing no dissatisfaction at being left behind!
"Master, in this battle, I ask you to lead the generals to the battlefield! Remember, you must hold the king on the battlefield, and don't cause too many casualties to our human generals!"
Li Jing looked at Taishi Wen Zhong again... This battle will be the decisive battle between Dashang and Xiqi, and it will also be the prelude to the war against heaven!
The grand master heard that Zhong was stroking his beard and immediately promised: "Don't worry, right minister, I will save it!"
"Guoshi Jin, Guoshifu, is there any problem with going to war?"
Li Jing looked at the main force of this battle, the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion!
"Nothing!"
Jin Ling shook his head, his eyes even flashing with excitement: "A certain Shangqing lineage has been waiting for this day for a long time!"
Ever since she heard from the king's heartfelt message about what happened to the Jie Jiao, no, the disciples of the Shangqing lineage, Jin Ling had been feeling like there was a heavy weight weighing down her heart... Now, as the decisive battle was about to begin, not only was she not nervous, but she was It's like a heavy burden has been lifted!
She has done what she should do to the extreme... and saved all the people she could! Next, it’s time to accept the results!
"Gentlemen, with this victory, our human race will stand at the top of all races, with the human heart replacing the heart of heaven, and becoming the true eternal and immortal protagonist! I hope you will not show pity for me, and lay a foundation for our human race that will never decline!"
"We will not hesitate to die until we die!"
Everyone responded loudly, their morale was high, and their voice shook the sky!
At the same time, Heaven, the Holy Land of Yaochi!
Haotian, Yaochi, and Taibaijinxing Li Changgeng were in the Holy Land. Through the Haotian Mirror, they saw the generals in the Dashang Palace taking an oath.
"Senior brother, it seems that the human race is more prepared to conquer the sky than you and I imagined!"
Seeing the human tribe's oath to conquer the sky, the Queen Mother not only did not get angry, but showed admiration.
"Um."
Haotian also nodded and said: "I am tired of being in the position of the Emperor of Heaven who is like a puppet. I just want to take this opportunity to escape from the fence."
"Your Majesty, Empress..."
Li Changgeng hesitated, not knowing what to say. Are the positions of Emperor of Heaven and Queen Mother really going to be handed over to the human race?
After all, he is also the co-lord of the three realms, the true supreme being of heaven and earth!
"Chang Geng, I feel a little wronged to you."
Haotian looked at Li Changgeng: "I know your ideal, but my junior sister and I really don't have this ambition."
"Don't worry, when Heaven is captured, I will definitely recommend you to the King... Your status will not be affected!"
"Chang Geng, thank you for your kindness!"
Having said that, Li Changgeng didn't know that his Majesty really didn't want to be the Emperor of Heaven anymore! So I could only smile bitterly and bow down to thank you for your great kindness! ——
At this moment, inside Xiqi City!
After nearly half a month, Xiqi City finally reorganized its defenses and returned to its original appearance with the help of the Chanjiao monks.
Apart from being sparsely populated, not much has changed from before! Even, in order to ensure sufficient food, the Twelve Golden Immortals consciously condescended to condescend to the throne and cast spells themselves to provide enough food and grass for Xiqi City!
Well, yes, in the eyes of the Twelve Golden Immortals, their actions in person have already given Xiqi and the human race enough face!
In the handsome tent, Boyikao (Emperor Jun) returned to the meeting hall with his younger brother Lei Zhenzi (Taiyi) and his wife Su Daji (Chang Xi)! The Twelve Golden Immortals also led the Chanjiao disciples and settled in Xiqi City. They did not go to Naqishan Mountain and live in Lu Peng of Nao Shizi!
The proceedings begin...
Boyikao took the lead and asked: "Fellow immortals, in terms of military strength, I, Xiqi, am far from a rival of the Great Shang. I wonder what the immortals can teach me?"
"Don't worry, Xianhou, our formation has been rehearsed. It has been set up under the city at this moment! With the strength of our formation, even if the merchants come in full force to attack, they can easily block it, so there is no need to worry!"
With the formation given by the original saint, Guangchengzi regained his confidence at this moment, and stood out in high spirits to speak to Boyikao.
The rest of the immortals did not refute, they all looked confident... The main reason was that they had personally entered the formation and tried it. As far as the formation was concerned, it was true as Ran Deng said, not the twelve quasi-sages. It is impossible to break the formation!
Moreover, the formation is interconnected and can gather the power of everyone into one... The illusion that the twelve are integrated into one makes them even feel that even if the saint comes, they may not be able to break the formation!
"So great!"
Boyikao clapped his hands in surprise... He looked at the formation from a distance. Although it was not as good as the Monster Clan's Zhoutianxingdou Formation, among the great formations, in terms of the complexity of the formation, it was indeed ranked high!
"Besides that, Pindao, I have something to suggest to the Marquis."
Suddenly, the conversation changed and Guangchengzi made a sudden suggestion.
"Oh? I wonder what the immortal wants to teach me?"
Boyikao looked at Guangchengzi humbly, with a completely respectful look.
"The so-called unjust name means unjust words." Guangchengzi said slowly. This was also the suggestion he made after discussing with Ran Deng yesterday: "If the Marquis does not become king, he will always be a feudal lord of the Great Shang. In the end, the war with the Great Shang will end. Lost the name of righteousness.
Pindao suggested that Xiqi should set up a royal flag! At least, in the big sense, we should be on par with the great merchants! "
"this……"
Boyikao never expected that Guangchengzi's suggestion was actually like this?
"But Taoist Master, I only have one city and one town... If I raise the royal flag now, I will definitely anger the great merchants. Then they will attack with all their strength..."
"Master Hou!"
Guangchengzi shouted loudly, interrupting Boyikao's unconfident words: "Great merchants are so evil! If we don't mention our formation, we can block an army of tens of millions. Just for the safety of Lord Marquis...if we don't set up the king's flag, if The great merchants are harming each other with evil curses, and the Marquis has no luck to protect him. Is there any way to deal with it?!"
"This...isn't it true that there are other immortals..."
"The avenue of curses is profound and profound! The Great Shang has many disciples of evil arts, and they are quite proficient in this way! If it is really cursed by evil methods, we may not have time to help the Marquis remove it!"
"But if the Marquis sets up the royal flag, his status is equal to that of the great businessman king, and he competes in the world...then the Marquis will have luck to protect him. Even if he is cursed with evil methods, it can be delayed for a while, which is enough for the poor Taoist and others. Call for help and release!”
"Not to mention, setting up a king's flag and clarifying the righteousness can also appease people's hearts and recruit talented people!"
Guangchengzi warned him earnestly... It was not that he wanted to interfere in Xiqi's political affairs, but the original message yesterday was that Xiqi should be made king!
Otherwise, if it is just a battle between princes and kings...how can he have the name to fight for the Xiqi Gang when it comes to a battle between saints? Help the princes? It’s still a bit shameful to be original!
"This...that's just as the immortal said! Tomorrow, set up the king's flag!"
Boyikao just thought for a while and understood the unfinished meaning of Guangchengzi's words... He nodded solemnly and promised to set up the Western Zhou King's flag tomorrow!
Guangchengzi was overjoyed and said: "Such a great kindness! Tomorrow, Junior Brother Chi Jingjing and I will also bring the two sons of the Great Shang King to congratulate us! The two sons of the Great Shang King will congratulate me and worship you as their second father. At that time, The name of the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty must be correct!
On the other hand, the Great Shang even went to congratulate the Western Zhou Dynasty with his own son. How could he, the Great Shang, be called a human king? "
Hearing Guang Chengzi's words, Boyikao's face was overjoyed: "The Taoist priest is wise! The Western Zhou Dynasty is really lucky to have the Taoist priest help!"
On the surface, Boyikao is full of surprises, but in fact...
'Monk Chanjiao is so ruthless! '
'I asked why he kidnapped the prince, Daqing, just for now? The son of the human king congratulates the new king on his enthronement. Isn't this just cutting out a piece of the great business fortune for us? '
'What a vicious strategy! He really takes his calculations to the extreme! No wonder that back then, our Demon Court was almost completely destroyed... A saint is really not a human being! '
Guangchengzi didn't notice Boyikao's true thoughts. He touched his chin, feeling extremely proud! ——
Time soon came to the second day!
In the early morning, Emperor Xin dressed in military uniform, took his queen, three concubines, merchant generals, and monks from the Imperial Prefecture, and went to Sishui Pass through the space channel opened by Yunxiao and Kong Xuan!
However, when he led his ministers and set foot on the land of Sishui Pass... suddenly, his heart hurt, and he opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood!
"puff!"
"Your Majesty!"
Queen Jiang and the three concubines were all shocked and hurriedly tried to help Emperor Xin...
But before anyone could help him, Di Xin's chest burst with light! The next second, a small seal flew out of Di Xin's chest, flew into the sky, hovered over Di Xin's head for a while, and then headed straight to the east!
"Kongtong Seal?"
When the Grand Master heard that Zhong's face changed drastically, he immediately pinched his fingers to make a calculation.
Unfortunately, when it comes to measuring calamity, even a saint cannot calculate it, so what can he do?
But he didn't have to wait long, there was a tremor between heaven and earth, and in the sky, maps of the territories of Dashang and Xiqi appeared, tit for tat!
Everyone's expressions changed... What, what is this situation? !
