Fei Zhong, You Hun, Deng Chanyu, Lu Xiong …
Looking at the four captives in the tent, Yang Jian leaned back in his chair and could not move. He was in a dilemma.
It would be a pity to kill Fei Zhong and You Hun directly. They were considered powerful officials beside Di Xin. If they were used, they could surpass a million soldiers.
Lu Xiong was ordinary and nothing to worry about. Deng Chanyu had the Five Light Stone to protect her. Perhaps the Five Light Stone itself did not have much power and only had a hundred percent chance of hitting. However, it might symbolize the Saint and he could not touch her easily.
After thinking about it, Yang Jian quickly made a decision.
"Send Fei Zhong and You Hun to the relay station in the city to rest. They will meet His Majesty, King Wu tomorrow." Yang Jian said, "Detain General Deng Chanyu in the army. Nezha is in charge of guarding her. Don't let her escape."
The generals lowered their heads and accepted the order. "Yes!"
Lu Xiong looked up at Yang Jian with a suspicious gaze.
Why did Yang Jian only say what happened to the other three but not him?
Yang Jian suddenly yawned. He could not cover his yawn with his hand. It was rather inelegant.
Huang Feihu said from the side, "Lu Xiong is the General of the Left Army. He is good at the art of war. Prime Minister, Feihu is willing to persuade him to surrender."
Lu Xiong was tied up. At that moment, he raised his head and wanted to shout, "Hmph! Traitor! How can you persuade me!?! "
"In that case," Yang Jian said calmly. "Drag him out and behead him. Hang him at the Yuan Gate for three days."
Lu Xiong's breathing stopped. Fei Zhong and You Hun felt their bodies go limp.
A few executioners immediately rushed in from the left and right and dragged Lu Xiong out. Soon, they heard some discussions outside the tent. Most of the soldiers did not know who Lu Xiong was, but when they heard that he was the general of the Shang Army, the Zhou Army was delighted.
Fei Zhong broke out in cold sweat. He looked up at the young prime minister and was about to shout for mercy when he saw Yang Jian smiling at him …
Oh no, could it be that I can't escape death today?
"Prime Minister! Me! "
"Someone, send Fei Zhong and You Hun to the relay station in the city. Do I need to say it a third time?"
Although the generals of the Zhou army did not understand, they still acted according to his instructions.
Huang Feihu used to be the King of Wu Cheng in the Great Shang. Naturally, he hated Fei Zhong and You Hun to the core. However, he was a smart man. He seemed to understand what Yang Jian wanted to do.
Huang Feihu turned around and Zhou's general Nangong Shi accepted the order and led Fei Zhong and Youhun out of the tent with kind words.
The only one left was Deng Chanyu.
Nezha smiled and said, "Senior Brother, how should we deal with this girl? We can't let her off so easily! "
Deng Chanyu showed no signs of fear. She stood there fearlessly with her thin lips pursed.
The chair that Yang Jian was sitting on floated gently and stopped not far from Deng Chanyu. Nezha and Muzha immediately came forward in case Deng Chanyu suddenly attacked.
"General Deng." Yang Jian asked directly, "There's only one thing I don't understand about General Deng."
Deng Chanyu did not say anything sarcastic, nor did she show much emotion. She looked at Yang Jian calmly.
However, her hands, which were tied by her side by the immortal rope, could not help but clench slightly …
"The Prime Minister is brilliant. What can you not understand?"
"Your background," Yang Jian said calmly. "Where did you come from? Who is your master? Why did you help the Shang attack the Zhou Nation? If it's not because you don't know the heavens and fate?"
Deng Chanyu remained silent. Yang Jian looked at the many generals in the army and said, "Generals who have not cultivated, leave this place temporarily. Don't be tainted by karma and harm yourself."
The generals looked at each other and most of them left. Only Yang Jian, San Zha, Zhi Jian, and Yao Gonglin were left.
"General Deng, I still have that question. Have you thought about whether you want to answer?"
Deng Chanyu looked at Yang Jian for a while and smiled bitterly. "Since I'm a defeated general, I naturally don't dare to be too arrogant. However, I can't answer a single question from the Prime Minister."
"Why?"
"It's just that the immortal imparted it in a dream. I don't know why, nor do I know who his master is …"
"I see." Yang Jian looked enlightened. He turned his chair back to the desk and said, "General Deng, please stay in the army for a few days. When the two Lords return to Chaoge City, General Deng will go with them.
Deng Chanyu was stunned. She looked at Yang Jian. "You're not killing me?"
"There's no enmity between us." Yang Jian smiled and said, "Besides, I can't afford to offend the immortal who taught you the immortal technique. What's the point of keeping you in the army?"
Nezha smiled and said, "Senior Brother, are you really not going to keep her in the army to serve you? You can't move freely now. It's good to have someone to help you. "
Yang Jian glanced at Nezha. The latter smiled and looked to the side. He did not take the threat in Yang Jian's eyes to heart.
Deng Chanyu's face behind the mask blushed a little, but it was only for a moment. She nodded at Yang Jian and thanked him.
Yang Jian ordered Jinzha to seal Deng Chanyu's cultivation level and untie the immortal rope on her body. He ordered Nezha to watch her day and night without any mistakes. Nezha could only accept the order dejectedly.
In his opinion, he had given up his good time to play in the army. Instead, he had to stare at a woman all the time. It was even more uncomfortable than being burned by the True Samadhi Fire.
After the generals left, Yang Jian sighed softly and sat on the chair without moving. He pondered quietly.
Yang Xiaochan and Ji Qianhua came in from outside the tent. Little Chan 'er said, "Brother, let's help you to the bed to rest."
"It's okay. I can do it myself." Yang Jian wrapped himself in Xuanqi and flew to the small bed at the side.
Little Chan 'er hurriedly ran over and carefully checked if Yang Jian's posture was comfortable. She asked casually, "Brother, is it like this every time you go to war? In just half a day, more than a hundred thousand mortals have died. "
"Yes, most of them are like this." Yang Jian smiled and said, "There's a saying that's right. A general succeeds on the bones of ten thousand people. Mortal soldiers fight with weapons, while cultivators fight with Dharma treasures and mystical abilities. There's actually not much difference."
Yang Xiaochan nodded, not understanding. She sat on the edge of the bed. She was dressed in armor, but it was still difficult to describe her elegance.
After calling Ji Qianhua to sit with him, Yang Xiaochan asked, "Brother, I heard that Fei Zhong and You Hun are treacherous officials, right? Why did they say that I seem to want to let the two of them go? "
"Did Huang Feihu ask you to ask?"
"Hehehe, brother, tell me."
Yang Jian smiled. "Although those two are treacherous officials, they are not without talent. Otherwise, how could they please Di Xin? Instead of saying that they are treacherous officials, it's better to say that the two of them are real villains. "
"Prime Minister," Ji Qianhua asked softly, "If such people are released, wouldn't Xi Qi be criticized by the world?"
"Who can criticize? Who dares to?" Yang Jian said, "Letting them go is only to prevent Xi Qi from suffering from the war and allow the people to cultivate and recuperate. If the feudal vassals use this as an excuse to say that our King is immoral, that would be a real joke. "
Ji Qianhua seemed to be afraid to shout loudly. She still asked softly, "Prime Minister, do you want those two to go to Chaoge City to plead for the Zhou Nation?"
"Yes, of course … Don't worry." Yang Jian smiled and said, "I'm not so stupid that I have to rely on their conscience. I have my own arrangements to make them listen to me."
Yang Xiaochan and Ji Qianhua were puzzled. Ji Qianhua was fine. She knew when to stop and did not dare to probe further.
However, Yang Xiaochan began to get to the bottom of the matter. Obviously, she did not take the affairs of the country seriously.
Yang Jian was helpless because of her pestering. He could only tell her the entire plan in his heart. Although it was not complicated, it made Yang Xiaochan and Ji Qianhua speechless.
"Brother, why are you thinking about these schemes every day …"
Yang Jian glared at his little sister. Little Chan 'er giggled. Taking advantage of the fact that Yang Jian couldn't move, she lay in Yang Jian's arms and acted like a spoiled child.
Ji Qianhua was speechless.
Are they … really brother and sister?
Three days later, King Wu received Fei and You Hun and held a banquet in the palace.
At the banquet, a few ministers of Xi Qi praised Fei and You Hun, saying that they were rare in the world and unique on earth.
Soon, Fei Zhong and You Hun were nowhere to be found. They were filled with wine again.
Yang Jian greeted San Yisheng in advance, and the latter said, "It's a pity that the two of you have assisted a fatuous ruler, and the two of you have to bear the infamy."
Fei Zhong let out a long sigh and said, "That's right! Brother You and I did things against our conscience. Which one of them was not ordered by His Majesty? Did we suggest a plan to force Empress Jiang to death? His Majesty said he wanted to depose Empress Jiang and asked us to come up with a plan. That's why I went to the Evil Empress! "
You Hun was still sober. He said, "I said it after drinking, I said it after drinking."
"Sigh, we are far away from each other. What's the harm in talking about this?" Xi Qi General Nangong Shi said with a smile, "I am a general. I like straightforward men. The two generals … are handsome and have good features. If they are too restrained, they are not beautiful. "
You Hun straightened his back and patted his chest. "Of course! Ah! To be honest, in Chaoge City, the two of us seem to be famous, but we are actually like rats on the street. We are chased and beaten by those arrogant ministers. "
Fei Zhong pursed his lips. "The King thinks that the world belongs to him, but those bastard ministers think that the world should belong to everyone. Is that possible? Everyone wants to interfere with the King's thoughts. The King's punishment is light! "
"That's right. He has forgotten his duty as a minister. How dare he say that he is a loyal minister and a good general?"
At that moment, Fei Zhong and You Hun began to criticize the Shang Dynasty's court. Sometimes, they scolded Di Xin for being unkind and made the two of them bear the blame. Sometimes, they scolded the ministers for not doing their duty and taking pleasure in admonishing.
What the two of them did not know was that Zhi Jian, who was in the corner, had recorded all of that with the Dharma treasure Shadow Pearl.
His voice and appearance were exactly the same.
Under the Yang Residence, where Yang Jian was in seclusion.
The body that was no longer human seemed to have lost all its blood and was lifeless. Blood scabs formed all over its body, making it look like a dark red rock.
