The person who shouted was Su Quanzhong, a mortal general who had fought with Chong Hou Hu back then. He was also Su Hu's eldest son and Su Daji's eldest brother.
Logically speaking, if this mortal was so rude, no matter how good-tempered Yang Jian was, he should have a straight face. However, when Yang Jian thought of the young girl Daji that he had kidnapped to the East Ocean Dragon Palace, he treated it as returning a favor to the Su Family and sat there with a smile on his face.
Su Quanzhong rushed in with his spear. Su Hu was old but strong. He got up, walked two steps, and threw a punch.
"Father!"
Smack!
Su Quanzhong covered his forehead, took three steps back, and sat on the ground. It was obvious that the old Marquis had really hit him hard.
"Father, why did you hit me!" Su Quanzhong was stubborn. He sat on the ground and shouted.
Zheng Lun, who was at the side, had already rushed in front of Yang Jian. However, when he saw that Yang Jian was just sitting there drinking tea, he did not know what to say or do.
When he rushed over, he thought that he had to save Su Hu from Yang Jian no matter what. However, this situation was not what he had imagined …
"Marquis." Zheng Lun stared at Yang Jian and said, "You guys go first. I'll hold him back for a while."
"General Zheng, don't panic." Su Hu quickly came forward and grabbed Zheng Lun's arm. He said in a low voice, "The Prime Minister is an important guest that I invited. I did not inform you beforehand. Please don't blame me."
Zheng Lun frowned and glared. He shouted in a low voice, "This is the enemy's general. How is he an important guest? Marquis, are you! Are you going to betray the country?! "
"Why do you say that, General Zheng?" Su Hu let go of Zheng Lun's arm and frowned. "Close the door! Quanzhong, go and guard outside. No one is allowed to enter! "
"Father?"
"I told you to guard. Are you looking for a beating?!"
Su Hu straightened his neck and roared. Su Quanzhong shrunk his neck and wore an expression that said, "You're the father, you're awesome, but I'm the son, I'm a coward." He walked out of the front hall resentfully and began to shout at the two groups of personal guards who followed him here.
Yang Jian sat at the side and pondered. How could such a rough man like Su Quanzhong give birth to such a delicate and pretty boy like Su Ling?
Thinking about it carefully, Su Ling and the young girl Daji did look similar.
"General Zheng, let's sit down and talk," Yang Jian said.
Zheng Lun frowned as he stared at Yang Jian. He looked like he would attack at any moment.
Yang Jian smiled. He pointed his left hand forward and quickly engraved a complicated talisman. He pushed it forward gently. A mysterious Daoist Rhyme circulated everywhere, making one's head clear and eyes clear and breathing smooth.
Zheng Lun's expression changed, and he asked in a low voice, "Did you learn this talisman from Li Jing?"
"I didn't learn it from Li Jing." Yang Jian told the truth. "In the past, the Great Tribulation descended in the South Continent. The virtuous figures of the Dao Sect left the mountain and walked around the South Continent. When Chong Houhu was attacking Ji Zhou, I happened to be there and met Uncle-Master Du 'e. Uncle-Master was worried about you and guarded by the side. He had a good chat with me and gave me some talisman techniques. "
Zheng Lun's eyes flickered. Most of his sharp aura and hostility dissipated.
Yang Jian smiled at him and gestured for him to sit down. Zheng Lun's gaze was a little hesitant, but he still sat on the chair at the side.
Su Hu gave Yang Jian a look. Yang Jian nodded slightly and sat there to drink two mouthfuls of tea. He seemed to have the intention of becoming the host.
Just like that, the front hall was silent for a moment. Yang Jian finally spoke.
"I have a question. General Zheng Lun, how do you evaluate loyalty and righteousness?"
"I'm loyal to you. If you don't abandon me, it's righteous!" Zheng Lun said firmly without any hindrance.
Yang Jian praised, "It's concise and comprehensive, but there's also another source of wisdom. Then, I want to ask General Zheng Lun again. Does the Lord of Shang, Di Xin, have you? "
Zheng Lun frowned. He sat there and wanted to retort, but he did not know where to start.
"General Zheng Lun, did Di Xin bestow any rewards to you?"
Zheng Lun still frowned and remained silent.
At the side, Su Hu sighed and said, "The many rewards given by the King are actually sent to my residence. I'm afraid that the generals will be resentful and will distribute them."
"Let's not talk about how tyrannical and muddle-headed Di Xin is. There's actually not much meaning in saying such things that anyone can say."
Yang Jian said slowly, "The king that General Zheng is loyal to is actually not a good person. He was born in an emperor's family and inherited his father's legacy. He has been the Human Emperor for decades. If he was born in a commoner's family, he would just be a person who reaches for what is beyond his grasp, does not work hard, and is greedy for women. I'm afraid you can find a handful of such people in the city, and they're all villains that are disdained by the neighbors. "
Su Hu and the few scholars at the side were frightened by Yang Jian's words. Zheng Lun frowned and pondered. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he still sighed softly in his heart.
"Why should I be loyal to such a man?"
Yang Jian snorted softly. "A loyal person should be a wise ruler. That is the prerequisite for loyalty. If you are loyal to a muddle-headed ruler, you will just be a thief. If you are loyal to a wise ruler, you will become a good minister. "
"The so-called righteous person lives high in the temple. He cares about the poor people in the world and helps the ruler share his worries and solve his problems. He is far away from the pugilistic world, but he also wants to create blessings, be chivalrous, and punish the tyrants!"
"Moreover, General Zheng Lun is a cultivator of a famous sect and a disciple of Ren School. Instead of thinking about cultivating the Dao and seeking the truth, you are debating loyalty with me here. You are more or less neglecting the fundamentals."
Su Hu, who was at the side, secretly admired Yang Jian. He looked at the young man who looked to be in his twenties and thought about his stubborn eldest son. He immediately felt gloomy for the rest of his life.
Zheng Lun exhaled and pursed his lips. "Aren't you the Eldest Senior Brother of the third generation of Chanism? Why are you still the prime minister in the mortal world?"
"I'm here because of the calamity. I'm not here for the authority of the mortal world." Yang Jian waved his hand and thought of something. He took it out casually.
It was a huge seal. There were mountains, rivers, and insects carved on it. There were also several golden dragons entrenched everywhere. It was as if there was a small world on it. It made people want to look at it, but they did not dare to.
The seal floated in Yang Jian's hand and released a wisp of yellow light that enveloped Yang Jian.
When the seal was placed, a dignified aura that was not angry was faintly revealed. The legs of the mortals present turned weak, and they had a strong urge to kowtow to the seal.
"The Ancient Human Emperor's Seal!?!"
Su Hu was also experienced and knowledgeable. He had read a few words in the ancient books, so he cried out involuntarily.
"Yes, Marquis Su is knowledgeable." Yang Jian praised and put away the seal. That was a treasure that he used to fool people. He would not take it out to show off. "I'm considered familiar with Senior Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. He said that this seal is useless to him. He gave it to me to play with for a few days."
No matter how one listened to it, it sounded like … bragging.
Zheng Lun smiled bitterly. "The Kongtong Seal is actually in your hands. Why are you wasting your effort? Go to Chaoge City and use this Human Emperor's treasure to shatter the destiny of the Shang Dynasty. The Shang Dynasty will be destroyed instantly."
"I've already said that I'm here to deal with the calamity," Yang Jian said seriously. "Moreover, this seal is the ancient Human Emperor's seal. If it appears in the South Continent, it will definitely cause a commotion among the human race. At that time, the mortals who will die will probably not be as many as the ones in the Shang Dynasty."
Zheng Lun and Su Hu nodded at the same time. They did not realize that they had been led by the nose by Yang Jian.
"However, with this seal, King Wu of Zhou will definitely win and Di Xin Daji will definitely die," Yang Jian said straightforwardly. He smiled and joked, "If there are any variables in my eastern expedition, I will go to Chaoge City and follow General Zheng Lun's plan to disperse the destiny of the Shang Nation."
Zheng Lun's expression changed. "How did I say that? I'll pretend that I didn't say it! "
"Zheng Lun!" Su Hu chided softly. "Don't you know what the Prime Minister means?! Tonight, the Prime Minister came personally because I wrote the letter of surrender. From tonight onwards, I'm the general of the Zhou Nation! "
Zheng Lun suddenly stood up and glared at Su Hu. "What? Lord Marquis, why are you doing this? "
At the door, Su Quanzhong also stuck his head out and asked, "Father, are you serious?"
"Look at your door!"
"Ah." Su Quanzhong chuckled. "I feel that you've finally become wise after so many years. How can we be Di Xin's lackeys? I think King Wu of Zhou is not bad! "
Su Hu pretended to throw the teacup beside him. Su Quanzhong hurriedly retracted his head and laughed outside.
Clearly, the father and son were of one mind. The only resistance was Zheng Lun.
"Zheng Lun, you and I have worked together for many years. I treat you like a nephew, and you respect me very much. It's my fault for hiding this from you. I hope you can understand." Su Hu stood up and cupped his hands at Zheng Lun.
Zheng Lun clenched and unclenched his fists several times. He clenched his teeth, obviously unwilling to believe this.
Su Hu said in a low voice, "I mentioned this to you before, but you flatly refused. You even advised me to be loyal and patriotic. It's not that I'm not loyal and patriotic. That Daji was originally my flesh and blood, the pearl in my palm. But, but how can I watch her go on like this? "
"Do you know how much I hate, how much I hate!" Su Hu patted his chest, his old eyes filled with tears. "What kind of daughter did I give birth to?! I gave birth to a demon! A demon concubine who ruined the eight hundred years of prosperity! I was scolded by the world. In Ji Zhou City, I didn't even dare to go out on the streets. I was afraid that I would hear the people talk behind my back, saying that I, Su Hu, gave birth to a vicious and vicious demon concubine, a disaster that brought disaster to the country and the people! "
"Today, I defected to the Zhou Nation so that I can personally kill this evil girl who tarnished the reputation of my Su Family's ancestors in my lifetime! If I kill her, I, I will die myself! I will bear the Su Family's name alone. The Su Family's children are still indomitable men! "
"Marquis!"
Zheng Lun closed his eyes and sighed deeply. He cupped his hands and said, "Marquis, there's no need to say more. I already understand Marquis's difficulties."
Zheng Lun lifted his cloak and knelt down on one knee in front of Su Hu. "Zheng Lun once said that no matter where Marquis goes, Zheng Lun will follow. This life was saved by Marquis back then. From now on, I will be at Marquis's disposal …"
"Zheng Lun …"
"Foster Father." Zheng Lun raised his head and smiled bitterly. "The only person I'm loyal to is Foster Father. Otherwise, why would I stand in front of the army when Chong Hou Hu attacked Ji Zhou? The Prime Minister is right. Who is that Di Xin? What does it have to do with me? "
Su Hu's eyes were filled with emotions. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and helped Zheng Lun up.
"Wait! Marquis, this general still has an unfulfilled wish! "Zheng Lun looked at Yang Jian." If you don't let me fight with Yang Jian, I'm really unwilling! "
"This …"
