What does it mean to live like a year?

For Ling'e and Chaos Zhong Zhongling, this period of time is really like a year.

Don't dare to go out of Xiaoqiongfeng, don't dare to talk about yourself, don't dare to tremble, don't dare to gasp......

Ling'e, who was originally calm about the arrival of the Dao Ancestor, felt the sense of oppression from the level of the Dao Ancestor, and began to become anxious.

However, Daozu and his senior brother seemed to be fighting fiercely in a fugue, and after eating a meal, they remained motionless in the forest.

The ambiance was also slightly and peaceful.

Under the Chaos Bell, Ling'e looked at the 'transparent' bell wall in front of her and asked in a low voice, "Senior brother is okay?"

"It seems to be okay," Zhong Ling's voice was full of uncertainty, "but it seems that there is something, at this time, between something and nothing, we can't be sure that he is okay." ”

Ling'e couldn't help but hold her forehead with one hand, "How long has it been?" ”

"It's been hundreds of days and nights, they seem to be waiting for something," Zhong Ling sighed, "I don't see it, your senior brother is really powerful, and a ruthless person like Dao Ancestor has to be kind and pleasant." ”

Ling'e whispered: "It may be that the ancestor likes the senior brother very much." ”

"Impossible," Zhong Ling chuckled softly, "Your senior brother's balanced avenue is doomed to the most basic opposition between him and the Heavenly Dao. ”

"Okay," Ling'e thought for a while, "Otherwise, I'll go and ask His Majesty the Jade Emperor to come once." ”

"Don't make more trouble," Zhong Ling admonished, "His Majesty the Jade Emperor is only a disciple of Dao Ancestor, what's the use of you going to him?

At this time, the position of the Jade Emperor is very embarrassing, his authority is given by the Dao Ancestor, if it is because your senior brother fell out with the Dao Ancestor, it will be a big joke in the world.

So at this time, it is better to call His Majesty the Jade Emperor to invite the Taiqing sage. ”

"Then, can I go to Teacher Taiqing?"

"Stupid you, the Taiqing Saint is so strong, why can't you see Dao Ancestor here?"

The Chaos Bell poked out a small hand made of spiritual power from the inner wall and knocked it on Ling'e's head.

"Wait, maybe they'll move later. ”

"Hmm," Ling'e continued to look at the transparent bell wall in front of her, staring at the situation in the forest tearoom, slightly distracted.

Without warning, Li Changshou and Daozu made a move at the same time.

Li Changshou opened his eyes and looked at the sand table in front of him, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Daozu's mouth, but he didn't open his eyes.

As shown by the sand table, in the central area of the South Ganbu Continent, light points converge from all sides.

The matter of Zhou Fashang has already begun.

The Great Shang Bafang Xiongguan Pass was heavily guarded, but a large number of elite merchant troops were attacking the princes of the east at the moment, and the Jiang family's forces were almost penetrated.

Jiang Wenhuan, the son of Jiang Huan Chu, asked for help from the Zhou State, and Ji Fa, the king of Zhou Wu, summoned the princes to meet in Chaoge City, and the Shang State defended on all sides, and the pressure increased sharply.

Li Changshou stared at the checkpoints of the Shang Kingdom displayed on the sand table, quietly observing the movements of all directions.

Half a month later.

Most of the princes of all walks of life were in vain, and even the princes of the Northern Route had internal strife, and some of the princes were loyal to the Shang State again, and they were also accepted by the Shang monarch.

On the west road, although the Zhou State had a large number of immortals to help him, his own troops were not strong, although he broke through the two Xiong Pass in a row, but the loss of troops was serious, and he could not continue to advance.

The Sect Immortals attached more importance to their own 'Qing Reputation', and most of them only dealt with some Qi Refiners who were mixed in the merchant army;

Even Yang Jian, Nezha, and Lei Zhenzi, who are generals and expound disciples, only perform the duties of a mortal military general when they rush into battle.

At this time, Princess Longji, the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven and the disciple of Taibai, had already entered the Zhou camp, and was specifically responsible for assisting Yang Jian and taking care of Xiao Nezha.

Tuxingsun, the disciple of the fearful grandson, and Huang Tianhua and Yang Ren, the disciples of the true monarch of Qingxu morality, have also entered the Zhou army camp one after another.

That Tuxing Sun is good at Tu Escape, but his character is a little misbelieving, and he also fell in love with a female general in the merchant camp, and he was captured by the fairy law, thinking that he would be happy at night.

When Yang Jian, Nezha, and Lei Zhenzi heard this, they immediately frowned.

This is not the first time Tuxingsun has done this.

Princess Longji was even more angry, and directly moved out of her master's Dundun teaching, saying that Yang Jian and Nezha would act together.

Yang Jian used the method of change to turn a wood carving into a bewitching woman, Nezha stunned Tuxingsun, put Tuxingsun and the woodcarved dummy together, and Princess Longji directly took out two kinds of pills given by the master.

The heart fire was burned to the earth and the grandson for internal and external use, and the immortal beast absolute pill controlled the medicinal properties.

That night......

It's hard to say, it's complicated, the brilliance of human nature and the darkness of animal nature are constantly intertwined, and the flower of evil that blooms at the end is rapidly withering.

After that, Tuxingsun seemed to have changed his temperament, and when he saw the enemy female general directly killing the killer, he didn't show any mercy, and when he saw Princess Longji and other fairies in the army, he didn't look at it.

Sage Moment: Forever Edition.

On the side of the merchant army, because of the death of Taishi Wenzhong, it seems that they lack the support of the sectarians;

But in the past few years, Shenbao has been persuading the immortals not to fight with the Sect of Immortals in various immortal islands, resulting in many sectarian immortals coming to Nanzhou in a scattered manner, and also gathered a large number of ashes.

In order to block the advance route of the Zhou army, Di Xin transferred hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses responsible for the defense of Chaoge City to the west side.

Emperor Xin drove the eastern expedition and wanted to end the eastern conquest as soon as possible and make every effort to clean up the Zhou state.

The Great Shang is like a dead calamity, and the pacification of the East and West Bohou is the key to the Great Shang Tribulation.

The mortal war was burning everywhere, and the power of the great calamity was slowly but constantly fading under the loss of a famous immortal.

Di Xin's eastward crusade greatly boosted the morale of the Shang army, and the princes of the east continued to retreat and defend, and it seemed that they would be completely subdued by Di Xin within a year or two.

The road of the great merchants is getting wider and wider, and the road of the princes is gradually a little blocked.

On the peak of Little Qiong.

Li Changshou stared at the various situations on the sand table, with a little thought in his eyes, but he didn't have the slightest sense of victory.

On the contrary, Li Changshou has seen the big hole in the road ahead of Di Xin.

It can only be said that the imperial crusade seems to be clever, but in fact it has kept Di Xin away from the core of Shang power;

For a while, the undercurrent in the song city was surging, and this undercurrent was almost going directly to the bright side.

For some people who have a heart, now is their last chance.

If Di Xin is allowed to pacify the eastern land, and the princes' prestige declines, even if the Zhou State is supported by Fang Wai Immortals, I am afraid that it will not be Di Xin's opponent.

Unless the immortals ignore the rules and directly slaughter mortals.

"Why doesn't Chang Gung have a happy face?"

Daozu asked with a smile: "Now that the situation is very good for the Shang Kingdom, it seems that you are going to win the second battle, but what do you think is wrong?"

Li Changshou sighed with a smile: "At this time, the chances of Shang Guo winning are only thirty percent. ”

"Your prediction of the odds is too negative," Hongjun Daozu said warmly, "There are many things that can be estimated optimistically, and there is no need to plan for the worst in everything." ”

Li Changshou suddenly asked: "Master, what do you think, how is Di Xin the emperor?"

Daozu replied:

"In the ordinary, it is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, if it is born in ancient times, such as the battle between Xuanyuan and Chiyou, it can also show its strength.

He was under the gaze of Poor Dao in the previous ninety-nine lives, and what his nature was and what temperament he had in his bones, Poor Dao was clear.

It's a pity that he was born in the mundane world, and he is still the last life of a big businessman.

Chang Gung, what do you think of Di Xin?"

"General. ”

Li Changshou said: "From the perspective of Shangguo, although there are not too many mistakes, there are no achievements.

For example, when he wanted to cleanse Jiang Huan Chu's influence on Chaoge City, and instructed Fei Zhong You Hun to cooperate with Daji to frame Queen Jiang, although he wanted to make himself ruthless and kill all the eldest and second sons born to Queen Jiang.

But after all, he hesitated, so that Yin Hong and Yinjiao had a chance to be rescued by Bigan.

For the environment he is in, if he wants to be ruthless but can't be ruthless, this is his big failure.

Of course, this matter has lost benevolence and righteousness, and it is only analyzed from the perspective of the internal and external difficulties of big business. ”

"Look at it," Dao Zu smiled, "you're just too harsh. ”

Li Changshou smiled, continued to stare at Chaoge City in the sand table, and quickly said: "But there is one thing, I admire Di Xin a lot." ”

"Oh, which point?"

"Backbone. ”

Li Changshou smiled:

"Although Di Xin, the emperor, is indecisive in his bones, has a low eye for doing things, and is inflated when he is touted, he has always had a proud backbone since he ascended the throne.

When the disciple incarnated into the great history of Chaoge City, he had already heard that Zhongkou knew that the disciple could help them, but the disciple refused once, so he didn't mention it more.

Even when Nuwa Temple saw me, it was only a few greetings.

Now, Daji must have told Di Xin about the dispute over the interception, but Di Xin did not take the initiative to ask for help.

What makes me admire him even more is that he is still abiding by the ancestral teachings at this time, and he has never mentioned to his teacher Wen Zhong about his cultivation and taking pills to prolong his life.

This is the arrogance of the mortal emperor. ”

Dao Zu nodded slowly and said with a smile: "It's just conceited." ”

"Perhaps. ”

Li Changshou smiled, continued to stare at the internal situation, and asked, "If this array of disciples loses, will the master directly take Mu Gong's life?"

Hongjun Dao Ancestor said: "I won't, but I will arrange some disasters after the catastrophe."

Haotian is now the master of the Three Realms, and the poor Dao is living in seclusion behind the scenes, so he wants to take care of Haotian, the face of the Emperor of Heaven, and will not directly touch his beloved ministers. ”

Then the disciple was relieved. ”

Li Changshou arched his hand, and at this time, he happened to see the golden point of light representing Di Xin, and quickly returned to Chaoge City from the east, and couldn't help but sigh lightly and close his eyes.

Ninety percent of them lose.

......

In the starry night, the sound of rolling horses' hooves sounded from the east city of Chaoge, disturbing many sleeping mortals.

The lights of the Great Palace, which had been cold for several months, were brightly lit, and the bright lamps were hung up again on the Star Picking Tower, and the most favored concubine in the palace was tidying up her makeup in front of the dresser.

Not long after, a palace lady stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, the king went to the palace to convene the ministers first. ”

"I just came back. ”

Daji pursed the corners of her mouth, couldn't help complaining, and threw the piece of paper in her hand aside, "The king is coming and call me again, go to sleep first." ”

The surrounding palace ladies each agreed, and served Daji to rest on the couch.

The Great Palace, in a side hall.

Di Xin sat on the throne, raised his hand to his forehead, with a thick fatigue on his face, but he was strong and listened to the ministers below him talk about military affairs and government affairs.

After Bigan finished talking about the situation in Chaoge City, he stopped talking a little.

Di Xin said: "Uncle Wang has something to say. ”

"King, have you transferred some troops from the border pass?"

Bigan Zhengse said: "There are not many defenders in Song City today, and if there is something to do, the defense mobilization will be quite tight." ”

"Isn't there still a lot of guards in the palace," Di Xin frowned, "Now that there are princes on all walks of life in rebellion, and the Zhou State relies on those outsiders to repeatedly attack, if there are not enough troops, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it."

The city wall of Chaoge is high and strong, so you don't have to worry too much.

In this way, let Fei Lian recruit some businessmen and young people to fill the city defense. ”

Another minister said: "Your Majesty, the ancestor festival will be ready in half a month, and you will have to return to the east immediately?"

"That's right," Di Xin said slowly, "The outnumbered people are in person, and my great merchant soldiers have fought bravely to kill the enemy, and have won many battles, and the situation is very good."

In another half a year, the east will be finalized.

At that time, the danger of the big merchants was only left in the west, and there was no need to worry.

This time, the widow returned to Chaoge City, firstly, to stabilize the overall situation, and secondly, to pay tribute to the ancestors.

However, the scene of commemorating the ancestors does not have to be too big, just slaughter some cattle and sheep for sacrifice, so that those witches should not be idle, and they should be used.

Now that the Great Shang is fighting with the traitors, your ancestors will definitely not mind this matter. ”

"Your Ministers obeyed. ”

"Hah-"

Di Xin yawned, and the old ministers below were about to retire when they saw this, but they heard Di Xin say: "A few Aiqing who are responsible for the transfer of grain, grass and soldiers in various departments will stay, and carefully report the use of these months with the widows. ”

Several old ministers bowed down and ordered, and Bigan and the ministers retreated and left.

The candles in the hall kept beating, and the king on the throne who was getting older and older, although his face was tired, his eyes had not faded.

On Xiaoqiong Peak, Li Changshou still sat with his eyes closed.

However, Hongjun Daozu's eyes were half-open at the moment, and he was watching the situation in Nanzhou with great interest, as if he was watching something joyful.

In the middle of Nanzhou, the Zhou army was in the middle camp of the Eastern Expedition.

Several generals surnamed Ji bowed down and retreated, and the big tent of King Wu Ji was deserted again.

On the side, Gong E stepped forward and took off her armor for King Wu, the middle-aged 'king' with a middle-aged face, and soon lay down on the bed, her eyes full of sorrow.

Why is the situation so different from what the Interpreters say?

Doesn't it mean that the big merchants have not been lucky for a few years? Why do they have the appearance of ZTE now?

Emperor Xin's Eastern Expedition, the collapse of the Jiang family on the East Road was far faster than the princes from all walks of life expected.

Now most of the princes have doubts in their hearts, if the Great Shang can conquer the six hundred cities in the east in a short time, there will definitely be many princes who will be loyal to the Great Shang again.

Ji Fa has long been familiar with such a situation.

He is now the patriarch of the Ji family, and the Ji family is also under the control of the Ji family inside and outside the Zhou Dynasty, and almost all the princes are in this situation.

Clan relatives are faithful.

Many big families can sacrifice their big heads in exchange for the glory of the whole family when necessary.

If these princes turn to the Great Merchants again, they will have their own means......

"Alas. ”

Ji Fa sighed softly.

There are too many rules for teaching immortals, and he doesn't give a pill when he asks for it, and he refuses to let the immortals participate in the war directly, and he also has many requirements for his words and deeds as the king of Zhou.

I really invited back a group of ancestors.

These words are just from the bottom of my heart, Ji Fa understands that Zhou Guo is now supported by teaching.

The previous national strength was first tossed by Beibohou Chonghou Hu, and then most of it was consumed by Wen Zhong's continuous westward expedition.

If this crusade is lost, they Zhou State will not be able to afford it.

'Last chance. ’

"King, King!"

There were a few shouts outside the tent, and Ji Fa sat up and raised his hand to hold the long sword next to the pillow.

"What?"

"The king, Lord Guangchengzi, the immortal of the Sect, asks to see you!"

Hiroshiko?

Ji Fa suddenly came to his senses, "Please!"

Outside the tent, Guang Chengzi drove straight into the big tent, and there was an old man in a brocade robe on the cloud.

Ji Fa tidied up his clothes and walked out quickly, and bowed to Guangchengzi.

Guangchengzi got straight to the point, and said: "King, now is the time to cut merchants, and Di Xin has returned to Chaoge City to prepare for the sacrifice of the ancestors.

The king can lead a light cavalry to attack the court song.

At that time, the city gate will be opened, and you can go straight to the palace of Emperor Xin, and the situation will be decided in one fell swoop. ”

Ji Fa couldn't help frowning, looking at Guang Chengzi's serious face, wanting to see if this immortal was joking.

Surprise...... Asahika City?
