Xiqi.

"Taoist Master, walk slowly."

Ji Fa watched Master Huang Long leave with full respect on his face. The moment he turned his head, he saw the mocking looks in the eyes of the palace maids and guards who were kneeling on one knee around him.

Ji Fa entered the palace without saying a word, and in this empty hall, he slowly let out a hoarse laugh.

"Good! That's really great! Everyone looks down on me, and this is how you treat me, right?"

Ding!
A crisp sound echoed in the hall, and a golden round token was seen spinning on the floor of the palace. Just when it was about to stop, a black shadow came down from the beam of the hall.

He took the token directly, and the black shadow held the token respectfully in both hands. Without saying anything, he just bowed his head respectfully and listened to the instructions.

The shadow's eyes were dead grey, devoid of any emotion.

When Ji Fa saw the black shadow, his expression was sinister in the shadow, and he said hoarsely:
"Anyone who heard it just now will be killed! Anyone who talked nonsense will be killed!"

After hearing this, the black shadow clasped his fists, stepped forward respectfully and handed the golden token to the king's table. Then the black shadow kept sliding down from the beams of the palace and disappeared.

At the same time, all the palace maids and guards serving around the palace were ruthlessly slaughtered.

Until the sun sets in the west, at the Wucheng Palace in Xiqi.

"Greetings to King Wucheng. The king sympathizes with King Wucheng's hard work and has ordered us to bring him a treasure..."

Li Jing, who was relaxing in the mansion, looked at the group of people who came from the palace with a puzzled look on his face, especially what the eunuch said.

"The king has a saying that I want to tell King Wucheng, 'Brothers are like limbs, and women are like clothes.' The king and King Wucheng are brothers, and we should not lose our relationship because of a piece of clothing."

After hearing this, Li Jing was even more shocked and confused.

"Since I, Li Jing, am already the King Wucheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Xiqi, I will not go back on my word, and I am not a fickle person. You will report to the king when you return."

Just as Li Jing was speaking with a righteous look on his face, the old eunuch lowered his eyebrows and smiled, raised his hand, and two people placed a bright red blanket on the ground.

"King Wucheng, I am also following your orders."

As the servants left, the old eunuch gently rolled away the blanket, and in an instant a beautiful lady in gauze appeared inside.

"King Wucheng, this is your favorite concubine."

The old eunuch lowered his head and spoke softly as he slowly retreated.

When Li Jing saw this woman, his eyes widened. What a girl!
Ji Fa is really willing to do this!
Just as he was about to call out to the old eunuch, Nezha suddenly walked in and saw this scene.

"Humph! It seems that this Jifa has some sense."

Nezha looked down at the old eunuch from the palace with a haughty look on his face, and said with a scornful laugh:

"Go back and tell Ji Fa that my father is the King Wucheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although he is not as good as Uncle Jiang, he is not too bad either."

"Yes Yes!"

How could the old eunuch dare to say anything, because this young man was a well-known devil.

After the old eunuch left, Li Jing's face was filled with speechlessness.

"Nezha, you're going too far."

Li Jing was speaking in an unpleasant tone, while Nezha was slapping his thigh and laughing.

"Father, this is a good opportunity. You can send this woman to the front line and tell Jiang Ziya that since you are the King Wucheng of Xiqi Great Zhou, how could you easily betray me? This woman is just right for Jiang Ziya."

After listening to Nezha's words, Li Jing was speechless, but when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed disgusting.

By doing this, Li Jing will become a man of steel. Since he has become the King Wucheng of the Great Zhou, he will not be indecisive. Don't underestimate me.

Instead, he gave the woman to Jiang Ziya. One reason was to prove his iron character, and the other was to confirm that Ji Fa gave his daughter to Jiang Ziya.

Third, from now on, the army on the front line will only know the ferocity of Jiang Ziya. Who will know you, Ji Fa?
Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya were completely alienated.

After thinking about this, Li Jing immediately ordered someone to secretly send the woman to the front line.

……

Qishan, the military camp of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Uncle Jiang, Yang Jian was ashamed of his trust in you, which led to the defeat of the army and the loss of half of the Qishan Mountain Range."

When Jiang Ziya, who had just returned riding on a Sibu Xiang, returned to the military camp, Yang Jian came to him with a guilty look on his face.

This apology made Jiang Ziya feel aggrieved but also somewhat relieved.

What was frustrating was that such a big thing happened right after he left, and looking at the situation, Yang Jian was still able to suppress the matter before the Shang army arrived.

But Nezha, the devil, killed a lot of people, which caused the army to lose morale. Many generals panicked and defected.

As a result, the situation was not suppressed but escalated.

Nezha is stronger than him, and his master has died. As his uncle, he can't go back and ask others to bully Nezha, right?

Moreover, Nezha also made great contributions, and even forced Li Jing to steal him.

Suffocated!
The good news is that thanks to Yang Jian, a major defeat was avoided and he even took the blame.

After all, the main reason was the failure at the front, which led to the instability of military morale.

"Yang Jian! The two armies are now engaged in battle, so I will let you make up for your crime with meritorious service."

Jiang Ziya felt deeply for Yang Jian and felt that Yang Jian should be entrusted with important tasks.

When Yang Jian saw that Jiang Ziya had excused him, he clasped his fist in gratitude.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang."

Just as the two were sighing, there was suddenly a noisy sound outside.

The two were puzzled, and saw Nezha and a group of generals walking towards them outside the open military tent.

"Uncle Jiang."

From afar, after seeing Jiang Ziya, Nezha shouted excitedly. Although Jiang Ziya felt aggrieved in his heart, he couldn't vent it out after hearing this cordial call.

Is it wrong for Nezha to kill the generals who have two minds? No!

All we can say is that Nezha was reckless and ignorant of the art of war, which led to the collapse of the army's morale.

But Nezha is a member of the Chan sect and is also his right-hand man.

"Nezha."

Between Xiqi and the Chan sect, Jiang Ziya took a deep breath and finally chose the Chan sect.

After all, he and Ji Fa were not on good terms, and the so-called help to Xiqi was also to fulfill his own mission.

As for how many people died in Xiqi and Da Zhou, there is always death in war. If there are really heavy losses in the end, it is your fate, Ji Fa.

At worst, I can be a weak ruler of the world. Besides, all the princes in the world have been crippled now, and their starting points are not much different.

After Nezha came in, Jiang Ziya didn't even mention this matter. Even though some generals were dissatisfied, most of the tough ones had already been dealt with by Nezha.

In addition, Jiang Ziya still has some fierce power in the army. "Uncle Jiang, my father specially arranged for someone from Xiqi to send you a big gift."

Nezha entered the tent and saw so many generals coming in from all directions. He was immediately happy, but he pretended to be reckless and laughed excitedly.

When Jiang Ziya heard that Li Jing was going to give him a big gift, although he was a little suspicious, this man was after all the King Wucheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the father of Nezha, Jinzha and Muzha.

He was also the first general to rebel against the Shang Dynasty, so he naturally could not neglect him.

"Oh, King Wucheng actually has a great gift for me."

Jiang Ziya waved his hand with a smile on his face, signaling Nezha to take out the gift.

Nezha just laughed excitedly and waved his hand, and the family soldiers from Xiqi came in from outside the tent, carrying a large red carpet.

"Uncle Jiang, my father said that he is already the King Wucheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Xiqi. This is a foregone conclusion and he will never betray the king. My father asked me to pass on the great gift that the king gave to my father to you, Uncle Jiang.

He also said that there is no need to be so polite in the future, and that Master Jiang alone can enjoy it. "

Good guy!
It was not known whether Nezha was just a child and spoke without restraint or he did not understand the ways of the world, but he spoke directly and arrogantly while kicking the carpet away.

In front of all the generals, a weak woman in gauze opened her eyes in a daze. Suddenly, under the countless gazes, she was frightened and trembled like a frightened little rabbit.

"this!"

Jiang Ziya's eyes widened, while Nezha laughed:
"Uncle Jiang, this is Ji Fa's princess. She gave it to my father specially. My father asked me to give it to you."

The generals in the tent widened their eyes. Some were angry and aggrieved. They were angry that their king was so spineless that he actually sent his princess away.

What’s even more infuriating is that the master humiliated the minister to death!

Some of them were disappointed, but after seeing this, most of the generals looked at each other, then clasped their fists and shouted:
"Congratulations Prime Minister Jiang!"

Nima!

He's only been gone for three days, why does everything feel different!
Jiang Ziya's eyes widened, and Yang Jian on the side couldn't help but pretend to be stern and scolded:

"Nonsense! This is simply nonsense! How can there be a woman in the army! Nezha quickly arrange for someone to send this woman back to Xiqi!"

Yang Jian made a prompt decision and decided to send the woman away.

Jiang Ziya also angrily slammed the table and shouted coldly:

"The fate of the Shang Dynasty is about to end, and Xiqi will rise. I have come to help Xiqi by the will of heaven. Your Majesty has really underestimated me!"

“Send it back!”

Jiang Ziya's face turned dark and ugly. He was more dissatisfied with Ji Fa. The more so, the more he missed the wise Crown Prince Bo Yikao.

"What are you all still standing there for? Uncle Jiang just came back from Kunlun Mountain and has already invited reinforcements to defeat the Shang Dynasty. Now we are discussing military affairs!"

Yang Jian shouted loudly and started to clear the area. Nezha then waved his hands in dissatisfaction at the two soldiers from Xiqi, asking them to take the woman back.

Inside the military tent, all the generals looked at Jiang Ziya solemnly, but at this moment he was silent, revealing a sense of disappointment.

All these generals in the army seem to have changed!
With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Ziya then sneered indifferently:
"No matter what happened before, no one should have the intention to surrender to the Shang Dynasty. Otherwise, I will show no mercy."

Now, in the eyes of the Xiqi army, Jiang Ziya has only a bad reputation, and no one respects him at all.

Coupled with the estrangement between him and Ji Fa, Jiang Ziya became discouraged and gave up on these people. After all, the so-called army was nothing more than pawns.

What we really rely on is the power of the immortals.

Jiang Ziya then discussed military affairs with the generals in the tent.

……

Yin Shang military camp.

"The Imperial Master is back."

As the messenger reported, Wen Zhong in the tent suddenly laughed and strode out, and at the same time summoned all the generals to go and greet them.

"Everyone, follow me to greet my fellow Taoist friends."

Wen Zhong knew clearly that Shen Gongbao went to Jin'ao Island to invite fellow Taoists.

When Wen Zhong led the generals out of the tent, they saw Shen Gongbao riding a white-browed tiger laughing, followed by ten figures falling down behind him.

"Master, I am very fortunate to have fulfilled my mission."

Shen Gongbao pinched his beard and laughed, pointing at the Taoist friends who were invited behind him.

These Taoists were seen wearing either a straight-character scarf, a nine-raised scarf, a fishtail gold crown, a jade crown, or wearing double buns, or dressed like a topknot. Some rode fairy deer, some rode white cranes, and some rode spirit horses.

"Wen Zhong greets all of you Taoist brothers."

"Brother Wen Dao is too polite."

When the ten heavenly monarchs saw Wen Zhong, they all burst into laughter. Wen Zhong's identity was different. Although he was a third-generation disciple, they had only heard of Taoism on Jin'ao Island.

Therefore, when facing Wen Zhong, they all respectfully called him "Daoxiong".

Since they were all from the same sect, Wen Zhong naturally laughed and wanted to treat them with courtesy. He immediately ordered a banquet to be set up in the tent to welcome his ten fellow Taoists to come and help.

Everyone at the banquet was having a great time talking to each other, and after three rounds of drinks, everyone started discussing the current war.

Among them, Yuan Tianjun smiled and bowed to Wen Zhong and said:
"We cultivators do not understand the wars in the human world, but since Jiang Ziya's people from the Chan sect look down on us from the Jie sect, we must compete with them and seek justice for the four fellow Taoists from Jiulong Island."

"I heard that Jiang Ziya's disciples in Kunlun wanted to convert to the two religions. It's all the same principle. For example, killing in the mortal world, we don't need to have such an idea. Since we have practiced ten formations, we should compete with him in wits first, so as to show the mysteries of the two religions. If we want to rely on courage and strength, it is not what we Taoists do."

After hearing this, Wen Zhong clapped his hands and laughed, saying, "You are right, Daoist friend. As long as Daoist friend can contain the people of Chanjiao, the three armies will naturally fight hard in the war on earth."

Qin Wan seemed to be the leader of this group of people, and everyone followed him. After all, the current situation was a confrontation between two armies.

Facing the gazes of his fellow disciples, Qin Wan slowly put down the wine bottle, looked at Wen Zhong and said with a smile:
"We cultivators know nothing about the mortal world's conquests, but we cannot let it go when Jiang Ziya, a member of the Chan Sect, harms our Jie Sect. We want to go to the foot of Mount Qishan and ask Jiang Ziya what his reason is and why he is so cruel and merciless."

The cultivation of the ten Heavenly Lords of Bailu Island is no more than the Golden Immortal Realm. Under such impulse, Wen Zhong waved his hands and said:
"My fellow Taoists, please listen to me. Jiang Ziya is insidious and cunning. The four Taoists from Jiulong Island were all there last time, but they accidentally fell into Jiang Ziya's trap.

The Chan Sect's Golden Immortal was hiding nearby. Otherwise, even if he was not low-ranking, the four Taoist friends would not have encountered any misfortune."

When he said this, Wen Zhong showed a hint of anger, and the Ten Heavenly Lords were also furious after hearing it.

"This teaching is too despicable."

"That's right, he actually hurt someone secretly. You have the guts to fight him one on one!"

"If it was a one-on-one fight, we would lose because we are not as skilled as the opponent, but the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect actually secretly hurt us. How shameless!"

Among them, Qin Wan looked at Wen Zhong, smiled and bowed, saying:

"Brother Wen Dao, don't worry. We know that we are no match for the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect in terms of cultivation level, but we are not pushovers. We have been practicing formation diagrams on Bailu Island over the years, which can be used to deal with the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect."

Since the Ten Heavenly Lords dared to come, they must have something to rely on.

After hearing this, Wen Zhong immediately smiled and said, "Very good, then I will definitely watch how you fellow Taoists display your might and how you can defeat the Chan Sect."

For a while, everyone in the tent was talking happily and laughing. (End of this chapter)
