"I see. It seems that there is a third-party force causing trouble."
Tang Ping was thoughtful.
What happened in Chu State was that the young master was kidnapped.
The information received from the Shang State was that there were important figures in the Zhou State.
In fact, this so-called big shot in the Zhou Kingdom is the young master of the Chu Kingdom.
If the prince of Chu was killed, or if the princes of the two countries were killed at the same time, and they were on the territory of the Zhou coalition.
Then what we are about to face is a large-scale melee.
Perhaps it was the largest battle since the beginning of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
Who benefits?
Chu State has a special position and is in a neutral camp.
Neither Shang nor Zhou wanted to push Chu to the other side.
After all, Chu State also has three roaming forces, and their strength is equivalent to that of Chong State, but there are fewer princes who have taken refuge in Chu State.
Even though Ji Dan was almost killed in Zhou, a country known for its benevolence, it was not immediately investigated.
If the three countries go to war, no one will benefit.
The State of Zhou wanted the State of Chu to die, but not on its own territory, but at the hands of others.
So, the answer emerged - Dongyi.
The Dongyi forces were responsible for this, and Beidi was unable to intervene in the south. It was also impossible for the Shu state to form an alliance with the Zhou army and plot to leave Shu.
Only Dongyi has this ability and motivation.
Most of the forces of the Shang State are concentrated on the Dongyi battlefield. If the attention of the Shang State is diverted, this group of people will undoubtedly gain huge benefits.
"Send a message to the King of Chu and tell him the cause and effect of the matter one by one. Then send a message to Xiaobailong Taibai."
Tang Pingyuan originally planned to call Zi Wei, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
Let this kid practice hard and stop running around with him every time.
Xiao Bailong Taibai is an excellent candidate.
The cultivation level is in the wandering stage, and you can still appear in front of the world with arrogance.
"Roar!"
After a while, there was a shrill dragon roar.
The white dragon is far away in the horizon, and is right in front of you the next second.
Wow!
Bailong transformed in front of Tang Ping and turned into a handsome man.
"I pay homage to the Lord of God. What does the Lord of God say?"
"Just follow me."
Tang Ping flew away first, followed closely by Taibai.
Although he still didn't understand, since it was the Lord God who spoke, he had no choice but to obey.
Palace of the King of Chu.
"Tsk, tsk, that's it. I almost fell into your conspiracy." Xiong Yang suddenly realized, "Yuan Chi, I give you a task."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Set out lightly with a hundred thousand troops. We must stop Zihong before he goes to Suiguo."
Yuan Chi's calculation speed is fast and he can roughly know the position of Zihong or Xiong Sheng without getting confused.
The other party must use Xiong Sheng as bait. Once Zihong sees Xiong Sheng, both of them will die.
"As you command!"
Yuan Chi left with the Underworld Tiger Talisman and the jade seal to summon rampant soldiers.
The advantage of rampant soldiers is that they do not take up space. They are ghosts themselves and only need to hide in the corresponding medium in advance.
At midnight, dark clouds cover the moon.
Follow the country's borders.
Two figures, one black and one white, fell into the jungle.
The lanterns held by the two men gave off a strange white light in the dark night.
An ink-colored human figure appeared out of thin air on the white lantern held by the black dragon envoy.
"It's a pity that Xiantian Suqi only captured Xiong Sheng. He was originally going to capture Xiong Sheng." The black dragon envoy was a little regretful.
They spent several days figuring out the situation before actually entering the city to implement the arrest plan.
If it hadn't been for that damn guy, maybe Xiong Gan would have been caught.
As one of the princes, Xiong Gan must be rescued by the Chu State no matter what, otherwise there will be no place for the country to save its face.
And killing this guy will have a huge impact. Once there is a misunderstanding, it is almost impossible to resolve it.
"That's enough for Xiong Sheng. We will use this person to lure Zi Hong over and kill them both together. Whether it was Zhou and Chu who conspired to kill Zi Hong, or whether Zhou and Shang killed Xiong Sheng in a melee, this matter cannot be explained. ”
The black dragon envoy let out a sinister and vicious laugh.
Swish, swish, swish!
Ten figures appeared in the sky.
The figures all wore black iron masks, but judging from their copper-colored foreheads, they were probably not ordinary humans.
"Emissary, our troops have completed the ambush, and arrangements have been made over at Kangcheng. We are just waiting for the envoy's order."
"Oh, I see."
The black dragon envoy threw the storage bag into the air, and a luxurious bronze carriage appeared in front of him.
Then throw the unconscious Xiong Sheng into the carriage without any aura concealment. If some detection methods are used, it will definitely be seen that there is someone in the carriage, and he is still alive.
The black dragon and the white dragon turned into horsemen, the magic weapon lantern was hung on the front of the carriage, and the others became attendants.
A carriage drives on a starry night.
The carriage does not have any family logo, but it looks very luxurious, giving people the feeling that it seems to be hiding something.
Above the nine heavens.
Phew! !
The black bird flaps its wings and the wind blows hundreds of miles.
This is a black bird, a swallow to be precise.
The swallow is very big, with a wingspan of three miles, and its back is inlaid with bronze. Three thousand bronze-armored soldiers stand solemnly. Even if the black bird pierces the clouds and winds, it remains still.
The black bird is both a monster and a chariot.
The Xuanniao clan is also one of the patron saints of the Zi surname.
At the head of the military formation is a tall and heroic man, wearing a bronze black bird crown and a double-headed Kui dragon armor. His eyes are like stars and his facial features are straight.
There were four people beside him, who were disciples of Fang Xiandao.
"Li Mu, this time I caught the big fish of Zhou Dynasty, I will have the opportunity to return to Chaoge. Then you will see what Tianyi Shang is."
Heaven is the god, and the city is the land. Tianyi is the abode of gods, and Chaoge really deserves to be so famous.
"Young master, it's better to be careful." Li Mu warned.
The four of them defected to the Shang Kingdom and were arranged to go to Huo City. Later, Zihong was released for unknown reasons.
Several people became familiar with each other.
Li Mu's words were sincere. Zihong was a good character, not as cruel as his father, and had an upright personality, but he seemed a little impulsive.
"It doesn't matter. I'm well prepared, and I'm not afraid of unintended consequences."
Zihong disagreed.
"Your Highness, the person has been found."
At this time, a monk with good eyesight spotted the convoy below.
Zihong took a closer look and realized that the convoy most likely belonged to Zhou Guo.
Ordinary families couldn't afford such a luxurious carriage, and the direction they were traveling was the State of Zhou, so they were most likely from the State of Zhou.
Everyone was under the nine skies, separated by thick clouds, and the people below seemed not to notice them.
Zihong was about to give an order.
"Wait!"
call!
Yuan Chi came on a flying bamboo raft and stood in front of Xuanniao.
Yuan Heng (Yuan Heng), who was responsible for controlling the black bird, stopped the black bird when he saw this.
"Master Yuan Chi?" Of course Zihong knew this person, "What do you mean?"
"The carriage below is Xiong Sheng, the prince of Chu State."
Yuan Chi briefly explained the cause of the incident and concluded: "This matter may be framed by external forces, or there may be masters secretly ambushing it."
"What evidence do you have?" Zihong was a little reluctant.
"Your coming here today is proof. Moreover, even if His Highness has accomplished great achievements, he will not have the chance to return to the court."
Yuan Chi could see what Zihong was thinking at a glance.
"Bold!" The attendants jumped out and surrounded Yuan Chi.
"His Highness did not refute immediately, so he must have understood clearly in his heart. I would like to advise you to stay in Huo City, at least stay away from the whirlpool..."
Every word Yuan Chi said was in Zihong's heart.
Zihong's face was ashen and he seemed to be struggling internally.
Yuan Chi just watched quietly without saying a word, as if he had already seen through Zihong's inner thoughts.
He is an old fox who has lived for hundreds of years. As the think tank of Chu State, it is easiest to handle Zihong.
After a long time, Zihong sighed deeply and said, "You are right, what should we do next?"
"Work with me to rescue Young Master Xiong Sheng. From now on, Chu State will owe you a favor."
"good."
Zihong nodded simply.
boom!
Yuan Hong released a hundred thousand soldiers, and Zihong signaled the chariots to swoop down.
The convoy below.
Bailong, who was sitting on the front of the carriage, felt something in his heart.
"Here we come, two parties."
"Get ready to take action!"
"kill!"
At this time, shouts of killing came from the sky.
I saw hundreds of thousands of rampant soldiers covering the sky.
There is also a black bird that breathes true fire and illuminates a hundred miles in radius.
"No, they have united!"
The two became alert and then transformed into their original forms.
Two lanterns flew high into the sky, and the lanterns flew out of black and white air.
The black energy is the innate profound energy, which is responsible for killing and turning into swords all over the sky.
White Qi is the innate prime Qi, which governs vitality and turns into strange people and strangers.
In the blink of an eye, 30,000 Taoist soldiers appeared, including demons, ghosts, and foreigners from overseas, and most of them were Jiuli tribesmen with bronze heads and iron foreheads.
kill!
The two sides fought together, and Xuanniao's flames burned a group of Jiuli soldiers to death.
Then these Jiuli soldiers flew onto the black bird's back and started fighting using the black bird's back as the battlefield.
Zihong is not just a noble son who only enjoys wealth. He picks up his two-pronged sword, jumps into the crowd, steps on wind and fire, and spits out thunder and lightning.
It is so powerful that no Jiuli soldier can withstand a single move.
Although the lanterns can continuously release soldiers and horses, the opponent kills people too fast.
More are killed than born.
The two disagreed.
"What's wrong with cooperation? It can't change the outcome." The black dragon envoy sneered.
The other party doesn't have a single flight, so why fight with them?
Kangcheng is not far from here. After a while, the army will come.
A three-party melee is inevitable.
Thinking of this, they looked at Xiong Sheng who was sleeping in the carriage and said:
"It's useless, just kill him."
boom!
At this time, night turns to day.
The two of them looked up and saw that the white star in the sky was extremely bright, which stung their eyes.
Taking a closer look, a pure white light beam shot down.
"not good!"
Only then did the two of them realize that their eyes had been stabbed and were bleeding.
boom!
The speed of light was extremely fast, and it fell on the two of them instantly.
"Ahhh!!"
"It hurts, it hurts!!"
The whole body seemed to be cut open bit by bit with a knife, and it instantly turned into a bloody man.
The white light only blessed the two of them, and the surrounding vegetation was unharmed. This was such a powerful sword control technique.
This is Taibai sword energy.
The sword energy comes from the lungs. Since he practiced the Zuowang technique of Zhou Kingdom, he can directly sense the stars and draw the purest power of the stars.
The sword energy is even more powerful, it is the purest killing power.
Both men were seriously injured on the spot.
Then there was another burst of flame, sweeping the two away.
From beginning to end, Xiao Bailong did not show up, and so did Tang Ping who used the flames.
Only the unconscious Xiong Sheng remained.
The Jiuli soldiers in the sky disappeared instantly because they had no magic support.
Both Yuan Chi and Zihong were stunned.
"Is this the power of Chu State?" Zihong looked at Yuan Chi.
"nature."
Yuan Chi looked like he had known it for a long time, but he was actually surprised inside.
I didn't expect that this dragon named Taibai, who lived in Xiangshui, would be so powerful.
After the goddess of the Xiangshui River and the ugly female figure, is there another traveler?
No, there is another Chonghou.
"No wonder my father values you so much." Zihong put away his contempt.
Chu State is indeed different from other princes.
This is a place with its own civilization.
Soon, the Kangcheng army arrived.
Under the mediation of Yuan Chi's sharp tongue, the two sides did not fight in the end, but only made harsh words.
Of course, most people thought that the other party should have been shocked by the sword energy just now.
"Your Highness, please come to Chu Kingdom to sit down when you have time."
"sure."
"I'd like to say more, it's a good thing to be sent abroad..."
After that, Yuan Chi led the people away.
Zihong kept these words in his heart.
What happened next left him with a terrible fate.
Bad news came from Chaoge one after another. His mother, Queen Jiang, was imprisoned for angering the king and died suddenly of illness. The next month, Daji became queen.
Jiang Heng, the Marquis of Dongbo, could not accept the death of his beloved daughter, and angrily raised an army to attack Emperor Xin. Later, he was defeated and died, and the feudal kingdom was eliminated.
Zihong's elder brother Zijiao's whereabouts are unknown.
Zihong was both happy and angry. The day before the incident, he suddenly received an order from the court to let Zihong's squadron return to the court.
He suddenly thought of Yuan Chi's advice and found an excuse to stay in Huocheng.
Now that the storm is over and the court is talking a lot, the Demon Queen will not take action against herself for the time being.
"Demon Queen... I will take your life!!"
Zihong swore secretly.
The perspective turned back to Tang Ping, who had just brought people back.
Wushan.
"Chi You, the leader of the army?"
Before the torture could begin, these two people took the initiative to speak out.
"I am a descendant of Jiuli. In the future, the military master will be resurrected and I will surely unify the world. If you admit your mistake now and join later, you will have time to make up for it."
The black dragon envoy threatened: "Or you can kill us, but remember, the Jiuli tribe is not just the two of us."
Chiyou is famous. As a person who once competed with Huangdi for the world, he can be said to be fierce and powerful.
In this era, the Yellow Emperor is no longer around, but as soon as Chi You appears, he is instantly invincible.
"Chi You is alive? Did Ying Yan let Chi You live?" Tang Ping smiled and turned to look at Tai Bai, "Kill him, don't hurt his soul."
Ying Yan is the king of Xu. He has a domineering character and will never allow the military leader to be resurrected.
"yes!"
Taibai gathered his sword fingers and shot out a sword energy to kill the two of them.
Tang Ping quickly sealed the bodies of the two people and started the ceremony of cutting mountains and cutting grass.
The ugly woman who had been waiting for a long time came out to take over.
The altar is decorated and the incense is raised to the sky.
This time two strong men will join.
Golden light penetrated their foreheads.
boom!
The imaginary souls were not generated, the heads of the two corpses exploded, and a cloud of black smoke flew out.
The black smoke gathered into a sinister human face.
The moment the human face appeared, Taibai and Nv Chou groaned and almost fell down.
"Bold!" Tang Ping shouted loudly, raised his head and fired out the earth energy in a radius of a hundred miles. The earth energy formed a yellow snake and tightly wrapped around the dark head.
"Jie Jie, you actually killed my man. I am the commander of the army, Chi You. I will remember you."
Chi You couldn't wait to see the other party's horrified expression.
It's a pity to disappoint him.
"You loser, why are you so arrogant?"
boom!
Before Chi You could jump, the yellow snake entangled him to pieces.
"Interesting, could it be that all the people in Jiuli are ghosts of Chi You?"
In this way, King Xu Yingyan would be miserable.
interesting.
The years pass by quickly.
The four major disciples of Fang Xian occupy the middle position.
Zhang Wulang successfully reincarnated and awakened, taking the pseudonym Zhang Kui and becoming a general of the Shang Dynasty.
Wei Hu joined the Shang camp under the pseudonym Wei Tuo.
The two brothers Fengyun Hengha became generals of the Shang Kingdom.
More and more people are joining the other side's forces, making it difficult for Zhou to penetrate and can only wait to be captured.
On this day, the Shang State gathered all the armies. Emperor Xin personally marched, Bigan led the troops, and the thirty-fifth army pressed towards Xiqi.
