Chapter 1229: Take advantage of the situation
“What’s going on, young master, is grandma going to depose Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao?”
It was night, when the young master Huan returned to the mansion wearing stars and moon, a beautiful lady suddenly stood up. He came over from the backyard and asked expectantly.
Huan sighed: "No, grandma said, now I have to rely on those immortals to defend the city in the Western Zhou Dynasty, so don't say there is no problem. Even if there is a real problem with the two of them, they cannot be dismissed at this time. Feng Feng Come on, please wait patiently Wait, wait until the Yin Shang stops attacking us, and then we can find a way to kill the donkey."
The beautiful woman looked slightly stiff, and asked eagerly: "But when will the Yin Shang give up his death? Where is my Xiqi heart?”
Juan stretched out his hand to take her into his arms and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, when the Yin Shang Dynasty finds that they can't do anything to us, they will acquiesce to our existence and will no longer raise troops to attack."
Beautiful Woman One His face was sad, but he didn't say anything more.
Third watch time.
After a heart-wrenching battle, the beautiful woman quietly blew smoke into the fat man lying next to her. Juan's eyelids immediately became heavy, and he soon fell asleep.
Immediately, a ray of colored light flew out from the head of the beautiful woman, circled around the room, penetrated the window, and quickly disappeared into the Xiqi sky...
Sishui Pass.
Inside the city gate tower.
Wen Zhong, who had just returned from Chaoge not long ago, was sitting in the main hall wearing armor. There was a teapot and two tea bowls on the table in front of him, as if he was waiting for someone.
A ray of colorful light suddenly came through the door, and it manifested into Hu Ximei's face in front of the old master. He said in a solemn voice: "Huan has entered the game. As long as the confrontation lasts for a while, you can lead the army and leave. Then he can attack Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao."
"Thank you, Madam."
Wen Zhong picked up the teapot and poured clear tea soup into the tea bowl in front of him: "Please drink tea, Madam."
Pheasant Essence was not polite at all, picked up the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then looked at Wen Zhong's pupils and said: "Is Xuanyuan Lan dead?"
Wen Zhongdian Nodding: "Dead, killed by my own hands."
The Pheasant Spirit breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Once Xuanyuan Lan dies, our rear area will be stable. Old Master, I'm going back."< br>
"Please be careful and take care of yourself." Wen Zhong said.
When these words were spoken, the old master felt very strange.
If some evildoer dared to confuse the king during this special period, he would have attacked him long ago...
In this way, more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the old master led his army to the outside of Xiqi City. Looking at the city wall wrapped in golden lotuses, he sighed quietly: "God will not help me!"
Jiang Ziya stood on the top of the city and looked down at the opponent: "Those who gain the Tao will get many help, while those who lose the Tao will have few. The Yin Shang Dynasty has lost its royal power. No matter how hard you work, you can't change its destiny."
The old master shook his head, looking frustrated: "Jiang Ziya, you win."
After that, he tightened the reins in his hands, controlled Mo Qilin to turn around, and led the army to retreat slowly.
"Prime Minister, are they retreating?" Nangong Shi, the general of the Western Zhou Dynasty, came to Jiang Ziya and asked with suppressed excitement.
Jiang Ziya said slowly: "It looks like it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the nearby soldiers cheered, and then the news spread quickly to the entire West as if it had wings. Qi.
That night.
King Wu Jikao held a banquet in the palace for the immortals. In front of countless top dignitaries of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he toasted to the immortals one by one to thank them for their great contribution to protecting Xiqi.
Drinking for three rounds.
Jiang Ziya suddenly suggested that Ji Kao summon eight hundred princes to attack Yin Zhou.
He believes that if there is no big goal to unite the princes and give them a reason to fight together, then some powerful princes may become self-reliant and think that if Xiqi can do it, so can they.
By then, dozens of kings might appear from the eight hundred princes.
Ji Kao felt that this made sense, but before he could agree, Tai Ren directly rejected it.
The reason for Tai Ren is: to rest with the people and accumulate national strength; not to be overbearing and to implement the king's way.
This Western Zhou Dynasty belongs to the Ji family after all, and the grandmother has the highest status in the Ji family.
The word of filial piety was at the forefront, and King Wu Jikao had to obey orders, so the counterattack was abandoned.
Among the immortals.
Qin Yao raised his head and glanced at the decrepit grandmother of the Ji family on the throne, thoughtfully...
With the external danger lifted, it’s time for internal problems to come to the fore!
In the blink of an eye, two days later.
It was dusk and the sun was shining brightly, reflecting the blue bricks and green tiles on the Yamen into golden color.
Wearing official robes and official boots, Jiang Ziya strode out of the main entrance of the Yamen, but his heart was filled with clouds. In the end, he didn't even return to the mansion and went straight to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
"Senior Brother."
"Prime Minister."
Shao Qing, in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, looked at the two people who came to greet him, Jiang Ziya nodded and said: "The Dragon King is also Yes."
Uncle Jiu said with a smile: "I can't help you with national affairs, so I feel uncomfortable staying in the political hall, so I came to chat with the national master."
"Don't mention it." Jiang Ziya sighed: "I have lost my power."
"I have lost my power?" Uncle Jiu suppressed his smile, responded, and immediately looked at Qin Yao.
Qin Yao looked indifferent and said: "When the river dries up, the bridge will be useless."
Jiang Ziya smiled bitterly and said: "I suspect this is related to my proposal to attack the Yin Shang Dynasty that day. The old lady is afraid that I have the power and will push forward this matter."
"Maybe someone is getting in the way," Qin Yao said.
Jiang Ziya's heart moved: "Shang Jun's plan?"
"Senior brother, do you think Grand Master Wen is the kind of person who will give up easily?" Qin Yao asked.
Jiang Ziya suddenly felt enlightened and said with his palms: "Yes, I feel something is wrong. In my impression, Wen Zhong should be persevering."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Next, they will try every means to intensify the internal conflicts in the Western Zhou Dynasty and try to disintegrate the new regime from within," Qin Yao said.
Jiang Ziya quickly understood what he meant and said: "They will support one person and split the Ji family!"
Qin Yao said: "For them, this is the most time-saving and labor-saving way."
"Junior brother, do you have any clever ideas to solve the problem?"
"Yes." Qin Yao smiled, Whispered: "Use the trick..."
The next day.
Jiang Ziya asked King Wu Jikao to resign on the grounds that Wen Zhong had withdrawn his army and Xiqi was in peace.
From top to bottom, the Ji family thought that he was retreating in order to counterattack Tai Ren's attempt to evade power. However, Jiang Ziya refused three times, and the last time, he gave up the phase belt without waiting for King Wu's response. All the fame and wealth that came, left in style.
When Ji Kao discovered that Jiang Ziya had left, he immediately went to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, hoping that the Imperial Preceptor could bring the Prime Minister back.
However, what made his heart sinking was that as Jiang Ziya left, Shen Gongbao and the immortals of Chanmen also disappeared without a trace. There were no more immortals in Xiqi...
"Grandma is satisfied?"
After returning to the palace, Ji Kao came to Tai Ren and asked with a dejected face.
Tai Ren said in a deep voice: "I never thought about forcing them away, and I was just trying to test the power of the prime minister, but I didn't expect their reaction to be so violent."
Ji Kao boldly looked into her eyes and asked "What do you want to test?" "Test Jiang Shang to see if he has the heart of a minister," Tai Ren said.
Jikao took a deep breath and said, "Who said something to you?"
Tai Ren: "It doesn't matter who said it. ...What is the heart of a minister? It means being submissive and obeying orders. From the perspective of behavior, Jiang Ziya does not have the heart of a minister, but he also does not have the mentality of a minister."
Ji Kao smiled bitterly and said: "Grandma is confused! Jiang Ziya, like Shen Gongbao, are not our ministers, but our collaborators. Whether the prime minister or the national advisor, they seem to be under the king, but they are not our Ji family "
Tai Ren: "..."
Chaoge.
The Taishi Mansion.
The ghost of the palace maid came on the moon, landed outside the study, bowed and said: "Zhanjuan pays homage to the grand master."
In the study, Wen Zhong was sitting on the imperial chair with no intention of getting up, let alone letting him in: "But there is news from Xiqi?"
In terms of delivering news, even if it is eight hundred miles plus He couldn't help but these fox ghosts and monsters, so Zhanjuan became the confidant between him and Daji. Xiqiao...
"Yes."
Zhanjuan responded: "The ancestor of the Ji family, Tairen, listened to Huan's words and emptied Jiang Ziya's power, which caused the other party to make three remarks and lead to "Xiqi Immortals left."
"Shen Gongbao also left?" Wen Zhong confirmed.
"They all left." Zhan Juan said: "The fox ghost of Xuanyuan Tomb ran around in Xiqi City and never saw a single immortal."
"That's great."
Wen Zhong was overjoyed and said: "Soldiers are valuable and quick. Early tomorrow morning, I will lead the army to attack the rebels in the west!"
Half a month later.
Wen Taishi led his army quietly into Sishui Pass and rested for two days and two nights in Sishui Pass. Then on a dark and windy night, he personally led his army to attack Xiqi.
Without the protection of the immortals, Xiqi was vulnerable to the attack of the expeditionary army. In addition, the fox ghost hiding in the city secretly opened the door, causing the merchant army to break into the city from the north gate and rush into the deserted streets.
Subsequently, on the way from the city gate to the palace, Master Wen gradually realized that something was wrong.
Quiet.
It’s too quiet.
This does not look like a city that has been breached, but rather like a pocket containing people.
"Stop." Master Wen suddenly stopped Mo Qilin and raised his hand.
"What's wrong, Grand Master?" Zhang Guifang asked.
Wen Taishi opened his eyes and scanned all directions, but found a large number of Zhou troops in the houses near the palace, and immediately said: "Exit Xiqi."
"Taishi, we ..."
"Back off." Master Wen shouted loudly before he had time to explain.
"Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving." At this time, an old voice echoed through the merchant army, and rays of fairy light continued to fall from the sky, manifesting into the figures of immortals behind the army.
"Come to the palace." Wen Zhong looked back, immediately made a decision and led the charge.
More than ten thousand merchant troops followed the commander and galloped quickly. Behind them, the immortals used their own methods. Immortal lights kept glancing at the merchant army. Some soldiers were immobilized, some were petrified, and some Some of the soldiers were frozen, and some were tied...
When Wen Zhong broke through the Zhou army's line like a tiger and entered the palace, there were only two immortals, three generals, and many others left behind him. Guards numbering to five hundred.
For Wen Zhong, there is only one hope left, which is to capture the Ji family nobles in the palace in exchange for a chance to escape.
But what makes him despair is that there is no noble person in the palace tonight!
"Wen Zhong, surrender." The Antarctic Immortal came with a group of fellow disciples and said loudly.
"Master, hurry up, let's stop them." Zhang Tianjun shouted.
"Yes, Taishi, leave quickly, stay useful and avenge us." Yao Tianjun shouted after him.
Obviously, these two immortals are determined to die.
Wen Zhong's body was trembling slightly, and he was about to say that he would fight to the death with them. Zhang Guifang suddenly stood up and shouted: "The Antarctic Immortal, the red sperm, the fear of leaving a grandson, Samantabhadra..."
Every When he called someone, his face turned pale. When he called Daoxing Tianzun, he spit out a mouthful of dirty blood.
"Let's go, Grand Master!" General Lu Xiong shouted.
Subsequently, Zhang and Yao Tianjun launched a suicide attack on the Kunlun Golden Immortals, just to gain a chance for Wen Zhong to escape.
With tears in his eyes, Wen Zhong flew into the sky riding a black unicorn.
As soon as Chi Jingzhi turned the yin-yang mirror in his hand, he was about to shine Wen Zhong to death, but the Antarctic Immortal held his wrist.
"Elder brother?"
"He is still of great use." The Antarctic Immortal said quietly.
Thinking of the Gods List and the Immortal Killing Tribulation, Chi Jingzheng suddenly realized.
Other than Wen Zhong, a veteran of three dynasties of the Yin and Shang dynasties, who in the world would be so stupid as to work hard for the Yin and Shang dynasties?
If Wen Zhong is not dead, then the ones who will die are the immortals from the Jie Jiao who were invited by him...
At the same time.
Juan's Mansion.
Almost all the main members of the Ji clan gathered in the courtyard, surrounding Tai Ren, Ji Kao, Qin Yao, and...Huan himself.
The difference is that Tai Ren is sitting and the others are standing, except Juan, who is kneeling.
"Grandma, I swear to God, I never thought about splitting the royal family." After being forced to explain the incident, Huan knelt down in front of the Tai Ren and kowtowed repeatedly.
Tai Ren did not look at him, but sighed to Qin Yao: "Master, I almost made a big mistake!"
Qin Yao shook his head and said: "No wonder You, we didn’t make it clear to you in advance.”
“No, blame me. "
Tai Ren said: "Although the current situation is good, it is because the national teacher is unparalleled in wisdom. It is not that I did not do anything wrong. If Ji Kao hadn't reminded me, I would still be stubborn. In this regard, women are indeed inferior to men.”
Qin Yao: "..."
Don't engage in gender opposition!
You can only represent yourself.
But in front of so many Ji family members, he was too embarrassed to say these words.
"From now on, the harem must not interfere with politics. This is the ancestral motto of the Ji family." Tai Ren stood up slowly and said in a deep voice.
"Yes." All the Ji family members bowed in response.
"I'm tired, let's leave this bastard to the imperial master." Tai Ren said, turning around and leaving with his personal maid.
Qin Yao watched the old lady disappear at the end of the corridor, and then asked Juan: "When did Feng Lai disappear?"
Huan looked frightened and knotted his head. Baba said: "I, I don't know."
Qin Yao sighed.
Although he didn't know who Feng Lai's true identity was, the other party played with Huan Zhen just like playing with a dog.
"Your Majesty, I am not a member of the Ji family, Juan, let you handle it." After a moment, he turned to Ji Kao and said.
