Clang! Ding …
In the main hall of the palace in Chaoge City, the officials knelt on the ground. The furious king pushed the jade table in front of him down, his eyes red.
"Trash! A bunch of trash! The country that Ancestor Chengtang created was gradually devoured by those traitors because I mistakenly believed in those trash! "
The ministers did not even dare to breathe. The seemingly magnificent hall was several times more sinister than the execution platform outside the Meridian Gate.
"Speak! I asked you to speak! "Di Xin roared with a red face and neck." What's the use of trash like you!?! Left and right! Push them down and behead them! "
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down! "
"Hong Jin has great ambitions but little talent. In just a few days, he caused the million-strong army to be defeated by Yang Jian. He is truly a detestable person! His entire family should be executed! "
"Your Majesty, please be happy and angry. The Shang Dynasty is filled with outstanding people and has abundant national power. There are still good generals waiting for you to use them!"
The group of old officials had a strong desire to live. They knew how to resolve Di Xin's anger.
Di Xin leaned against the throne and asked coldly, "Who can be the general?"
"The commander of the Three Mountain Pass, Kong Xuan, can be the general!" A loud shout came from outside the hall. Shen Gongbao was dressed in court attire. He lowered his head and walked quickly into the hall. He arrived in front of the platform where Di Xin was sitting and knelt down. "I failed to save General Weiwu in the chaos. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
When Di Xin saw Shen Gongbao, his eyes were filled with anger. "Minister Shen, you have always said that you will definitely win in the past few battles. Why did the Shang army suffer repeated defeats!?!"
"The reason is only because of the mystical abilities of the general." Shen Gongbao bowed and spoke. "Yang Jian is an Immortal Dao hero and a fierce general of the Celestial Court. His mysterious skills are divine. The Grand Tutor could not defeat him and died. Hong Jin is also very different from him. However, Your Majesty! "
"When I visited the Four Seas Immortal Islands to search for extraordinary people, I accidentally discovered that Kong Xuan, who is temporarily replacing the commander of the Three Mountain Pass, is actually an immortal giant who has entered the Shang Dynasty."
"This person possesses remarkable ability and is adept at scheming. He once ran amuck in the Immortal Dimension a few tens of thousands of years ago, and his hands are tainted with the blood of countless Immortals! If Your Majesty can make use of this person, you will definitely be able to defeat the Zhou army and protect Zhaoge! "
Di Xin's eyes lit up. "Why would such a godly person be a deputy general in the Three Mountain Pass?"
Shen Gongbao smiled and said, "Cultivation is about cultivating one's mind. Going through the hardships of the mortal world can increase one's mana. Hmm, that's about it."
Di Xin nodded in disbelief and said, "In that case, why don't we summon this god to Chaoge City …"
"No, Your Majesty, you can't." Shen Gongbao hurriedly said, "Firstly, the Zhou Army is heading straight for the Boundary Tablet Pass. We have to let him go as soon as possible. Secondly, such a divine person is eccentric. If he comes to pay his respects to you, you might …"
"Humph! I am the Son of Heaven! "Di Shang said loudly. Shen Gongpao, who was reporting with his head lowered, twitched his mouth.
If it weren't for the fact that it would be too troublesome to explain the Great Tribulation and that your pig-brain might not be able to understand, why would I waste so much effort?
Fei Zhong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent …"
"Draft a decree to order Kong Xuan to bring 100,000 elite soldiers from the Three Mountain Pass to the Boundary Tablet Pass."
Shen Gongbao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, why don't we have two generals who are good at fighting to assist him? If he wants to charge and break through the enemy lines, someone has to take care of the overall situation from behind."
"You're right. You can find a few more generals to assist you."
Di Shang was clearly a little unhappy. He stood up and swept his sleeves. The palace servant beside him shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, return to the palace!"
After Di Shang left, a group of ministers stood up with cold sweat and looked at Shen Gongbao gratefully.
Shen Gongbao smiled and asked who would lead the troops. Then, he drafted a list of names for the Eastern Expedition.
The commander of the Three Mountain Pass, Kong Xuan, was the main general. The commander of the defeated Shang army, Han Rong, was the deputy general. The commander of the Three Mountain Pass, Chen Geng, was the vanguard. The commander of the Three Mountain Pass, Gao Jineng, was the rescue envoy of the five armies. Sun He and the other generals followed.
He ordered Han Rong and the commander of the Boundary Tablet Pass, Xu Gai, to reorganize the Shang army. When Kong Xuan arrived, they would attack.
Shen Gongbao examined the arrangement a few times and finally nodded gently.
At that moment, a fast horse left Chaoge City and read Di Xin's decree to the few parties, although Di Xin did not know what was written in the decree.
"In that case, I should go to the Three Mountains and Five Peaks to look for some fellow Daoists." Shen Gongbao sighed softly and bade farewell to the ministers. Then, he embarked on the path of persuading people to enter the tribulation tirelessly.
Unfortunately, the immortals of Jie School seemed to be wary of him. They could not invite a true expert and mighty figure …
Di Shang returned to the Deer Terrace Pavilion and was feeling a little annoyed. He ordered someone to bring wine to drink. After two cups, he suddenly smashed the wine bottle on the ground and kicked the palace maid beside him.
The palace maids hurriedly knelt down in fear. They held back their tears and did not dare to make a sound.
"Why are you worried, Your Majesty?"
A gentle voice sounded from behind the curtain. Di Shang's irritated heart seemed to have flowed through a clear spring and immediately calmed down.
Di Shang smiled and said, "It's fine. It's just that the battle in the northwest is not good. That's why I'm frustrated."
Behind the curtain, a beauty who looked like a young girl walked over barefoot, causing Di Shang to be unable to shift his gaze away.
The cicada wings floated in the willow dress, and the peaks were dim and shallow.
Her black hair hung down like a waterfall, and a jade hairpin held onto her peerless beauty.
Her black hair hung down like a waterfall, and a jade hairpin held onto her peerless beauty.
Her slender figure could not be reduced at all. Her skin was like white jade. It was delicate, but it made one unable to help but reach out to touch it.
Daji threw herself into his arms. Di Shang raised his hand and hugged her. He muttered softly, "Why do I feel that no matter how I look at beauties, I always feel that they are extremely beautiful? I never feel bored at all."
"I'm just a woman. I can't solve your problems, Your Majesty. I can only make you feel more at ease."
Daji answered gently. She reached her slender hand into Di Shang's arms, but Di Shang grabbed her wrist.
"That's good. I'll hug you for a while longer."
Di Shang exerted a little force with his arm, as if he wanted to fuse the beauty into his body.
"The officials of the court are useless. After the Grand Tutor died in battle in West Qi, I don't know who to trust or who to trust. Only a beauty will not deceive me."
"Your Majesty …" Daji placed her hands on Di Shang's shoulders. Her eyes were a little blurry. "I don't know how many lifetimes of good fortune can be exchanged for your exclusive love for me."
Di Shang sighed softly and looked up at the intersecting logs on the roof of the palace. He raised his hand and gestured for the palace maids to retreat.
"Immortals, mortals. I gradually understand that the ones who control the fate of the Shang Dynasty are not me and that child, Ji Fa. It's just these otherworldly experts."
"Your Majesty …" Daji bit her pink lips gently. "Don't worry. Your Majesty is the real human emperor. Those traitors will definitely be killed by you."
"I hope so … Beauty, actually, I dreamed of Yin Jiao a few nights ago."
Daji's expression darkened. She hid in Di Shang's arms and asked softly, "Your Majesty?"
"He should have died in battle. I've also read the memorial. He and his brother, Yin Hong, also stopped the Zhou Army in the northwest and died in battle one after another." Di Shang chuckled with a hint of bitterness. "The two of them have never seen me as a father. Back then, Empress Jiang was immoral and I ordered her to die. They wanted to raise their swords and fight me!"
Di Shang clenched his left fist gently. "I'm their father! How can such an unfilial son not be killed!?! "
"Your Majesty, please be angry. After all, they are related to you by blood."
"Heh, we're connected by blood. The two of them did not come to see me but went to the army to serve me. They are just telling me that they are only protecting the country that my ancestor has conquered."
Di Shang's eyes were filled with disappointment. "If they come back and admit their mistakes for what happened back then, how can I not care about the relationship between father and son?"
Daji comforted softly, "Your Majesty, the matter is over. Don't worry."
"Ah … The only one who can understand me is a beauty."
"Your Majesty, you're tired. I'll help you rest."
Di Shang smiled and carried Daji to the soft couch not far away.
The curtains fell, and the gentle woman moaned softly. The warm curtain of spring was late.
Two days later, in the Three Mountain Pass.
Kong Xuan opened the cloth in his hand and took a rough look. Then, he casually threw it to the deputy general beside him.
"Gather the troops and follow me to meet the Zhou Army."
After saying that, Kong Xuan chuckled for some reason. Five-colored light emitted from the fingertips of his left hand. The five balls of light rotated gently, as if they were playing.
"Yang Jian?"
