"What are you doing!?! Is that really King Wu? "
"Of course. Why would I lie to you?" Yang Jian wanted to laugh when he saw Li Jing's anxious expression. "If you don't believe me, we'll leave now."
Li Jing hurriedly shook his head and looked at King Wu, Ji Fa, who was sitting in the front hall. He sighed softly.
"Go in. Don't let the King wait for long." Yang Jian looked at Li Jing and smiled. "If King Wu can't convince you personally, I won't mention the matter of persuading you to enter the Zhou Dynasty again."
When Li Jing heard that, he felt troubled. He could only smile bitterly.
Putting everything else aside, King Wu had inherited the position of the Marquis of the West. Although he was already at odds with the Shang Dynasty, his status was much higher than Li Jing, the commander of Chentang Pass.
Moreover, Li Jing was also a cultivator. He could sense the dignity of the human emperor from King Wu. He naturally did not dare to be rude to King Wu.
"Greetings, King Wu." Li Jing cupped his fists and bowed. King Wu stood up and supported him.
Yang Jian smiled and said, "Nezha, why don't you bring me to the backyard for tea?"
Nezha nodded decisively and agreed. He ignored Li Jing's stern gaze and left the front hall with his senior brother to chat in the backyard.
The matter of persuading Li Jing naturally fell on King Wu. King Wu did not mind at all. He sat there with a calm gaze and an extraordinary bearing. In a few words, he chatted with Li Jing.
They were talking about governing the country and the people. It was also King Wu's consideration of Li Jing.
Although Li Jing was a little conflicted, he gradually had a good impression of the ruler of a country sitting in front of him. He only felt that he was a wise ruler and a good ruler. He was worthy of him risking his life to support him.
King Wu did not mention the matter of entering the Zhou Dynasty. He spent two hours chatting with Li Jing.
During that period, Lady Yin personally served tea to the front hall. The maidservants also continuously served tea and snacks, afraid that they would not be able to serve them well.
"Senior Brother, do you think the King can convince my father?" Nezha plucked an orange and stuffed it into his mouth. He ate happily.
Yang Jian was drinking tea and listening to music. The Li Residence had a few pretty good singers. "Don't worry, the moment King Wu appeared, your father had already agreed to enter the Zhou Dynasty. The Martial King probably understands this as well, so he's just chatting so that your father won't feel too much pressure. "
"Why?" Nezha asked in confusion. "Have you told me through voice transmission?"
"There's no voice transmission." Yang Jian smiled and said, "If your father really wants to keep his chastity for the King of Shang, he won't even let King Wu enter. You stay here and guard King Wu. I'll go to the Dragon Palace and call for some helpers. "
Dragon Palace?
Nezha pursed his lips and said, "Senior Brother, why did you go to the Dragon Palace to ask for help? Why didn't you go to the Kunlun Mountain to ask the elders of our sect to help?"
This guy still had some prejudice against Dragons. After all, they had forced him to his death in the past. Although Nezha wouldn't cause trouble for Dragons, he was a little resistant to dragons.
Of course, his Martial Sister-in-law was not one of them.
Yang Jian smiled and did not say anything. He stood up and took two steps. He had already used an escape technique to leave Chentang Pass and enter the East Ocean.
In just an hour, there was a rain cloud above Chentang Pass. Yang Jian returned to the Li Residence's study. Nezha ate a plate of oranges and was flipping through Li Jing's books in boredom.
"How's the discussion going?"
"What? Oh, Senior Brother, are you talking about the King and my father? They have already started to talk about the art of war and martial arts. My father even danced with the sword just now. "Nezha sighed." If this continues, I'm really worried for my mother. "
A few veins popped out on Yang Jian's forehead. Nezha knew too much.
Nezha thought, I'm just influenced by what I've seen and heard.
"Let's go. We have to rush them." Yang Jian looked at the sun. "If we don't go back, there will probably be trouble."
Indeed, King Wu could not stay outside for too long, especially for people like them who had sneaked out. It would be strange if the entire Imperial Court was not in chaos.
Yang Jian brought Nezha back to the front hall. When he saw that King Wu and Li Jing were chatting, Yang Jian coughed softly. "Your Majesty, it's time to go back. We didn't inform the other ministers when we came out. I'm afraid they are going crazy from anxiety."
"Forget it." King Wu sighed unwillingly. "I had a pleasant conversation with Commander Li. It's very agreeable. I'll let it go for now. If there's a chance next time, I'll talk to Commander Li through the night!"
Yang Jian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you invite Commander Li to the Zhou Dynasty to be an official? That way, if you want to talk to Commander Li, you only need a decree. "
It's here. It's finally here.
Li Jing secretly heaved a sigh of relief and waited for King Wu to reply.
As expected, King Wu said, "Commander Li, I'm willing to send Commander Li to the Zhou Nation as a general. What do you think, Commander Li?"
Li Jing pondered for a while. This time, he was straightforward. He knelt on one knee and cupped his fists with his head lowered. "I'm not talented. I'm indebted to your kindness, Your Majesty. You've sent people to persuade me several times. Today, your Majesty even came here at night and crossed tens of thousands of kilometers. How can I not agree? I'm willing to repay the King's kindness with my life! "
"General Li, please rise! Quickly, please rise! "
King Wu helped Li Jing up and said warmly, "To be able to obtain General Li's help, I'm like a tiger with wings!"
"Your Majesty, you flatter me. The Prime Minister is a genius of the world. I don't even dare to compare myself to the Prime Minister."
Li Jing was humble. He immediately said that he would rush to West Qi in half a day. He would dismiss the servants and choose a general to guard Chentang Pass.
However, Yang Jian said, "General Li, don't worry about Chentang Pass. I've already asked the Dragons to take care of this place. I will definitely not let the people here suffer a calamity."
As soon as he finished speaking, dragon roars sounded from outside the hall. The two elders of the Dragons shouted in unison.
"Under the orders of Perfected Lord Erlang, our race will protect Chentang Pass for a hundred years! However, those who invade will definitely be killed. "
Li Jing's eyes were filled with emotions. King Wu was a little novel, but in order to maintain his demeanor as a king, he could not show it too obviously. He could only keep signaling Yang Jian with his eyes to urge him to leave.
King Wu just wanted to see the real Dragons.
Yang Jian immediately bade farewell and left the Li Residence with King Wu on the grounds that the Zhou Nation was afraid of trouble. He left Nezha at Chentang Pass to "supervise" so that Li Jing would not delay.
"Prime Minister, can you bring me to meet the Dragons?"
"Your Majesty, don't be playful," Yang Jian advised. However, his words were a little inappropriate and made King Wu feel a little awkward.
King Wu was in his prime. The word "playful" was really …
After entering the cloud, Yang Jian brought King Wu and the two elders of the Dragons to meet. The two elders also gave Yang Jian face. They respectfully cupped their hands and bowed to King Wu, addressing him as "Human Emperor".
King Wu could more or less sense the weight of the title "Human Emperor". Unfortunately, immortals and mortals were separated. He, the Human Emperor, could no longer cultivate. He was just a mortal with a lifespan of a hundred years.
After bidding farewell to the Dragons, Yang Jian used Xuanqi to hide his figure and rushed back to West Qi with King Wu.
On the way, King Wu kept sighing about what had happened today. He made an appointment with Yang Jian to come out next time. Yang Jian agreed with a smile on the surface, but in his heart, he pushed this matter to the end of the God-Conferment.
Along the way, King Wu continued to ask questions. Li Jing had told him many things about Yang Jian previously. At that moment, King Wu was more and more curious about Yang Jian.
"I often heard the older generation talk about Erlang splitting the mountain to save his mother. Is Erlang the Prime Minister?"
"Yes, it should be me."
"The Prime Minister is actually a legendary immortal. Sorry for my disrespect." King Wu laughed. "Is the Jade Emperor of the Celestial Court the Prime Minister's uncle?"
"Sort of. My mother is the sister of the Jade Emperor when he reincarnated. She can be considered my uncle …"
King Wu's eyes lit up. He kept saying that he wanted to go to the Yang Residence to formally meet the old madam and look at the brilliance of the princess of the Celestial Court.
Although he had actually seen her a few times previously …
When they were about to reach the border, King Wu suddenly sighed. "Prime Minister, do you have to leave after becoming a god?"
Yang Jian remained silent. Naturally, he tacitly agreed to that explanation.
"I … I can't bear to part with the Prime Minister. Why don't we let the calamity of the Dao Sect drag on for a few more years?" Ji Fa turned to look at Yang Jian. "Although I have a hundred brothers and am now the ruler of a country, I can't help but feel a little lonely."
"Those who achieve great things have to endure more than others," Yang Jian replied.
Ji Fa nodded gently. "Perhaps. Can you promise me something, Prime Minister?"
"Speak first, Your Majesty." Yang Jian smiled and said, "I don't dare to agree carelessly."
Ji Fa laughed involuntarily. The Zhou Capital was already in sight. This journey to the east could be considered to have come to an end.
King Wu said, "If I reach the end of this life, can the Prime Minister put in a good word for me to the judge of the Netherworld so that I can have some immortal fate in my next life and wander the path of immortal cultivation?"
Such a request could also prove that King Wu did not have any delusions of 'longevity' or 'immortality'. He could be considered a clear stream in the imperial family.
Yang Jian said solemnly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm familiar with the Netherworld."
King Wu laughed loudly. His entire being seemed to have ascended to immortality, and his imperial aura became even stronger.
Yang Jian descended from the cloud and landed straight into the palace. At this moment, the palace was already in chaos. A group of ministers and guards were running around, and there were hundreds of people kneeling in the front hall, as if they were being questioned by the internal court.
King Wu shouted, "I'm back!"
Yang Jian used Xuanqi to bless him, allowing King Wu's voice to spread throughout the city. The ministers finally heaved a sigh of relief. When King Wu landed, the group of ministers rushed forward to 'admonish' him to the death.
The country could not be without a ruler for a day, and if the king suddenly disappeared, the entire Zhou Nation would be in chaos … They said a lot of principles, causing Yang Jian, who was hiding at the side, to feel a headache.
On the other hand, King Wu listened with a smile. It was indeed not easy for him to apologize to the ministers.
In the end, the farce ended with Yang Jian's' abduction 'of the king and his salary being deducted for half a year.
The group of old ministers dared to persuade King Wu, but no one dared to bother Yang Jian. Only King Wu Cheng tactfully suggested that Yang Jian should inform them when he brought the king out in the future.
Yang Jian agreed solemnly. A minister asked what happened last night, but Yang Jian did not elaborate. He only said that the king had taken in a good general.
Half a day later, the good general came.
A cloud flew from the east. The person in front was wearing armor and holding the Golden Exquisite Pagoda in his left hand. It was Li Jing.
