Seeing Yin Hong's attitude towards him, Shen Gongbao thought to himself that it was not good. It seemed that this boy had heard of me from his master before. He probably didn't have a very good impression of me, so he probably couldn't be fooled.
Shen Gongbao said: "May I ask where His Highness Yin Hong is going?"
Yin Hong said coldly: "Of course I am following my master's orders to go down the mountain to assist Zuo Xizhou."
Shen Gongbao sneered and said: "Your Highness is the son of Emperor Xin, the great king of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and he is the orthodox inheritance of human kings in the world. Why do you want to go to the Western Zhou Dynasty to assist Zuo and oppose the great Shang Dynasty?"
Yin Hong said: "My father was cruel and unkind. He was deceived by the fox demon and killed my mother and many ministers of the Yin Shang Dynasty. Such a big businessman is not worthy of my help."
Shen Gongbao said angrily: "Nonsense. The king was indeed deceived by the fox demon before and did some wrong things, but the fox demon has been killed by the king's order. Now the king is improving people's livelihood and promoting the abolition of slavery. He has done countless things that benefit the people, do you know these?"
Yin Hong looked at Shen Gongbao in disbelief and said, "What are you talking about? That temptress has been killed by my father. How is this possible?"
Yin Hong was not very interested in his father improving people's livelihood. What he cared about most was whether it was true that Emperor Xin killed Daji.
Shen Gongbao said: "This matter is not a secret in our Great Shang Court. If you don't believe it, you can go to Chaoge City and do some research to find out whether what I said is true or false."
Yin Hong thought for a moment, then looked at the four generals he had collected.
Pang Hong, one of the four generals, said: "We don't know whether the Demon Queen is dead or alive, but we have also heard that the Demon Queen has not shown up for a long time, and it is indeed as Taoist Master Shen said. , His Majesty Emperor Xin has improved people's livelihood so that some ordinary people can have enough to eat."
The four generals still hope that Yin Hong can return to Dashang, so that they can make better achievements. Of course, what they say is also true.
There was hesitation in Yin Hong's eyes, and just when he was about to retaliate with words, he saw Shen Gongbao on the opposite side shouting loudly: "Your Highness, even if people in the world can oppose Dashang, you can't oppose Dashang, because you are His Highness the King of Dashang , the heir to the great Shang monarch, if you rebel, then you will be a completely unfaithful and unfilial person."
Shen Gongbao's words hit Yin Hong's heart like a heavy hammer, because Shen Gongbao was right. No matter how wrong Di Xin was, he was still his father. He joined the Western Zhou Dynasty to attack his father's merchants. Even if he has the name of justice, he will be branded with disloyalty and unfilial piety.
Seeing Yin Hong's hesitation, Shen Gongbao knew that something was going on, so Shen Gongbao added fire and said: "Even if your Highness is not for His Majesty Emperor Xin, you must also think about Dashang! The foundation of Dashang that has been built for so many years cannot be left to Your Highness. It’s going to be extinct!”
Shen Gongbao's words completely hit Yin Hong's weakness. Yin Hong still had thoughts about Di Xin's position. Yin Hong closed his eyes in pain, then opened his eyes again and said: "That's all, even if No matter how ungrateful he is, he is still my biological father, and I should help him protect Dashang."
Hearing this, Shen Gongbao felt happy immediately, knowing that Yin Hong had agreed to go to Chuanyunguan with him.
Shen Gongbao was overjoyed and said: "His Royal Highness Yin Hong has made a right choice. I will report this matter to the king in Chaoge City. If the king knows that His Highness is back, he will definitely be overjoyed."
Yin Hong said: "There is no rush now. You should take us to Chuanyunguan Pass first. As far as I know, you have lost several passes in a row. You should take me there quickly to collect those passes." return."
Yin Hong's tone was a little dissatisfied, saying that you have failed to defend several checkpoints and fortresses in my home. It's really useless. I still need to take them back!
Shen Gongbao could naturally understand the sarcasm and arrogance in his mouth, and Shen Gongbao would not get angry with him because of this. He just smiled at him and said, "Then, Your Highness, let's leave now!"
Yin Hong nodded, and then ordered his four generals to lead his soldiers towards Chuanyunguan without rest. Yin Hong was more active in going to Chuanyunguan than to go to the Western Zhou camp.
At this time in Chuanyunguan, Wen Zhong was sitting in the main hall and was getting angry. Although Shen Gongbao had recently used tricks to eliminate many generals of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty under the leadership of Jiang Ziya was still eyeing Chuanyunguan.
Wen Zhong also organized several troops to fight against the Western Zhou Dynasty, but they were all defended under Jiang Ziya's deployment. Wen Zhong has not made any progress here, and he feels very anxious.
When Wen Zhong was worried, someone reported that the national teacher Shen Gongbao was back.
This made Wen Zhong very happy, because Shen Gongbao told Wen Zhong before leaving that he was going to find reinforcements. Since Shen Gongbao is back, he must have brought the reinforcements back.
Wen Zhong said to the people: "Hurry up and invite the Imperial Master and the people he brings over."
The soldier was about to go down to invite someone, but Wen Zhong stopped him again and said, "I'd better go out with you to greet him!"
Wen Zhong followed the soldier and walked outside. When he walked outside, he saw a young-looking general behind Shen Gongbao. He was handsome and looked familiar.
When Wen Zhongzheng was wondering who this person was, the young general knelt down towards Wen Zhong and said, "Disciple, please pay homage to Master!"
Wen Zhong was extremely shocked. Why did this man suddenly kneel down and call him master? Could it be that he was the apprentice of one of his disciples?
Wen Zhong looked at Shen Gongbao with doubtful eyes.
Shen Gongbao laughed and said: "Old Master, haven't you figured out who he is? This is His Majesty's second son Yin Hong!"
Yin Hong! Wen Zhong was shocked, and then said in disbelief: "Are you Hong'er?"
Yin Hong raised his head and said: "Master, I am Yin Hong!"
Hearing Yin Hong's confirmation, Wen Zhong's eyes immediately flashed back to the baby he held in his arms back then. Although Wen Zhong was strict with Di Xin, he loved the two children Yin Hong and Yin Jiao extremely.
Wen Zhong immediately grabbed Yin Hong's hand, pulled him up from the ground, and said with tears in his eyes: "Hong'er, I thought you had met with misfortune. I didn't expect to see you again. Where is your brother Yin Jiao? "
Yin Hong replied: "Master, my brother Yin Jiao is currently studying under his uncle Guangchengzi!"
Wen Zhong was surprised that Yin Jiao was actually learning from Guang Chengzi, who was teaching the teachings. He was from their hostile camp!
But Wen Zhong didn't say anything. After all, it was Di Xin who forced these two children away. Now that Yin Hong can come to them, it is already a good thing.
Wen Zhong asked people to hold a banquet and took Yin Hong to the hall to sit down.
After everyone sat down, Wen Zhong began to ask some questions about where Yin Hong studied before and how he lived.
Yin Hong also answered one by one. Although he was arrogant, he still respected Wen Zhong very much.
