My Senior Brother is Too Steady

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.

I dare not leave Xiaoqiong Peak, dare not make rash remarks, dare not tremble, dare not breathe...

Ling'e, who was originally calm about Dao Ancestor's arrival, felt the pressure from Dao Ancestor at the living level, and began to become anxious.

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

The atmosphere is a bit peaceful.

Under the Chaos Bell, Ling'e looked at the 'transparent' bell wall in front of her and asked softly: "Senior brother, are you okay?"

"It seems like everything is fine," Zhong Ling's voice was full of uncertainty, "but it seems like something is fine. At this point, it's somewhere between fine and fine. We can't be sure that he's fine until we go there."

Ling'e couldn't help but put a hand on her forehead, "How long has it been?"

"It's been hundreds of days and nights, they seem to be waiting for something," Zhong Ling clicked his tongue, "I didn't realize that your senior brother is really powerful. Even a ruthless person like Dao Ancestor has to look nice."

Ling'e whispered: "It's possible that Master likes Senior Brother very much."

"Impossible," Zhong Ling groaned softly, "your senior brother's balanced path has destined him to be in the most basic opposition to the way of heaven."

"Okay," Ling'e thought for a while, "How about I go ask the Jade Emperor to come over."

"Don't cause more trouble," Zhong Ling warned, "His Majesty the Jade Emperor is no more than a disciple of Dao Ancestor, so what's the use of going to him? Do you rely on him to intercede with Dao Ancestor?"

At this time, the Jade Emperor's position is very embarrassing. His authority was given by Taozu. If he had a falling out with Taozu because of your senior brother, it would be the most embarrassing thing in the world.

So at this time, instead of calling His Majesty the Jade Emperor, it is better to invite Saint Taiqing. "

"Then, can I go find Teacher Taiqing?"

"You're stupid, Saint Taiqing is so powerful, how come you can't see Dao Ancestor here?"

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

"Just wait, maybe they will move later."

"Well," Ling'e continued to look at the transparent clock wall in front of her and the scene in the teahouse in the forest, feeling slightly lost in thought.

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

Li Changshou opened his eyes and looked at the sand table in front of him. A faint smile appeared on Daozu's lips, but he did not open his eyes.

As shown on the sand table, in the central area of ​​Nanfangbu Continent, light spots converged from all directions.

Zhou's campaign to conquer Shang had already begun.

The great merchants were heavily guarding the gates in all directions, and a large number of elite merchants were attacking the various princes in the east, almost destroying the Jiang family's power.

Jiang Huanchu's son Jiang Wenhuan asked for help from the Zhou Kingdom. Ji Fa, King Wu of the Zhou Kingdom, summoned the princes to meet in Chaoge City for an alliance. The Shang Kingdom defended itself on all sides, and the pressure increased sharply.

Li Changshou stared at the various checkpoints of the Shang Kingdom displayed on the sand table, and quietly observed the trends in each direction.

Half a month later.

Most of the princes from all walks of life had no success, and even the princes of the northern route had internal strife. Some princes once again pledged their allegiance to the Shang State and were accepted by the king of the Shang State.

On the west route, although the Zhou Kingdom had a large number of Chanjiao Immortals to help, its own military strength was not strong. Although it defeated two heroic passes in a row, its troops were severely depleted and could not continue to advance.

The Immortal Chanjiao attaches great importance to his own "clean reputation", and most of them only take action against some Qi refiners mixed in the merchant army;

Even Yang Jian, Nezha, and Lei Zhenzi, disciples of Chanjiao who held general positions, only performed the duties of a mortal general when charging into battle.

At this time, Princess Longji, the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven and Taibai's disciple, had entered the Zhou camp and was specifically responsible for assisting Yang Jian and taking care of little Nezha. She usually participated in pre-war gatherings. Because her name was too scary, she was not ordinary. People dare to provoke.

Tu Xingsun, a disciple of the fearful Liu Sun, and Huang Tianhua and Yang Ren, disciples of Qingxu Daodezhenjun, have also entered the Zhou army camp one after another.

The earth-hung sun was good at earth escape, but his character was a bit bad. He had previously fallen in love with a female general in the Shang army camp, and captured her with the help of immortal magic, hoping to have a happy night.

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

This is not the first time Tu Xingsun has done this.

Princess Longji was even more angry and directly quoted her master's Dundun teachings and persuaded Yang Jian and Nezha to take action together.

Yang Jian used the method of transformation to turn a wooden sculpture into the appearance of a enchanting woman. Nezha knocked out Tu Xingsun and put Tu Xingsun and the wooden sculpture dummy together. Princess Longji directly took out two kinds of elixirs given by the master. medicine.

The heart fire was given to Tu Xingsun for internal and external use, and the Immortal Beast Jue Xing Dan controlled the properties of the medicine and then released.

That night……

It's hard to say, it's very complicated. The brilliance of humanity and the darkness of animal nature are constantly intertwined, and the flower of evil that blooms in the end quickly withers.

After that, Tu Xingsun seemed to have a different temperament. When he saw the enemy female general, he immediately killed him without any mercy. When the army saw Princess Longji and other female fairies, they didn't even look at him.

Sage Moment · Forever Edition.

On the Shang army side, due to the death of Grand Master Wen Zhong, it seemed that they lacked the support of Jie Jiaoxian;

But in the past few years, Shen Bao has been constantly persuading the immortals in various fairy islands not to fight with the Chanjiao, which has led to many Jiejiao immortals to come to Nanzhou in scattered pieces, and a large number of calamity ashes have also gathered.

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

Emperor Xin Yu led the eastern expedition, hoping to end the eastern expedition as soon as possible and make every effort to clean up the Zhou Kingdom.

The Great Shang Dynasty seemed to be facing a certain calamity, and pacifying the East and West Bohous was the key to the Great Shang Dynasty overcoming the calamity.

Mortal wars are raging, and the power of the catastrophe is slowly but continuously fading due to the loss of a famous immortal.

Emperor Xin's Eastern Expedition greatly boosted the morale of the merchant army. The princes in the east continued to retreat and defend themselves, and it seemed that they would be completely conquered by Emperor Xin within a year or two.

The road of the great merchants became wider and wider, while the road of the princes gradually became a little blocked.

On Xiaoqiong Peak.

Li Changshou stared at the various situations on the sand table, with a little thought in his eyes, but no sense of victory.

On the contrary, Li Changshou has seen the big pit in Di Xin's road ahead.

It can only be said that the imperial expedition to the east seemed wise, but in fact it kept Emperor Xin away from the core of power of the Shang Kingdom; Wang Shu Bigan, who temporarily took charge of the country, was excellent at deciding cases, but his sense of deterrence was slightly insufficient.

For a time, there was an undercurrent in Chaoge City, and this undercurrent almost came to light.

For some people who are interested, now is their last chance.

If Emperor Xin is allowed to pacify the eastern lands and the power of the princes declines, even if Zhou has the support of immortals from outside the country, he may not be able to match Emperor Xin.

Unless the immortals ignore the rules and directly slaughter mortals.

"Why doesn't Chang Geng look happy at all?"

Daozu asked with a smile: "The situation is now very good for the Shang Kingdom. You seem to be winning the second battle, but what do you think is wrong?"

Li Changshou smiled and sighed: "At this time, the Shang Kingdom has only a 30% chance of winning."

"Your prediction of the odds of victory is too negative," Daozu Hongjun said warmly. "Many things can be estimated optimistically, and there is no need to prepare for the worst in everything."

Li Changshou suddenly asked: "Master, what do you think of Di Xin, the Human Emperor?"

Daozu replied:

"In the ordinary world, he is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men. If he were born in ancient times, for example, during the battle between Xuanyuan and Chi You, he would also be able to show off his talents.

He had been under Pindao's gaze for ninety-nine lives before. Pindao knew exactly what his nature was and what kind of temperament he had in his bones.

It's a pity that he was born in the common world, and he was still the last of the great merchants.

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

"generally."

Li Changshou said: "From the perspective of the Shang Kingdom, although there are not many faults, there are no achievements.

For example, when he wanted to clean up Jiang Huanchu's influence on Chaoge City and instructed Fei Zhongyouhun to cooperate with Daji to frame Queen Jiang, he wanted to be cruel and killed all the eldest and second sons born to Queen Jiang.

But he hesitated after all, giving Yin Hong and Yin Jiao a chance to be rescued by Bigan.

For the environment he was in, trying to be ruthless but not being ruthless was his biggest failure.

Of course, this matter lacks benevolence and justice, and is only analyzed from the perspective of the internal and external difficulties of big business. "

"Look," Daozu said with a smile, "you are just too strict."

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

"Oh? Which point?"

"backbone."

Li Changshou smiled and said:

"Although Di Xin, the human emperor, is indecisive at heart, has a good eye for things but a weak hand, and is inflated when others praise him, he has always had a sense of pride since he ascended the throne to the present.

He already knew from Wen Zhong's mouth that his disciple could help them when he was transformed into the great history of Chaoge City, but the disciple refused once, so he didn't mention it again.

Even when Nuwa Temple saw me, she only greeted me a few times.

Now, Daji must have told Di Xin about the dispute over Interpretation, but Di Xin never once took the initiative to seek help from Interpretation.

What makes me admire him even more is that he still abides by the ancestral precepts at this time, and never mentioned to his teacher Wen Zhong that he practiced cultivation and took elixirs to extend his life.

This is the pride of a mortal emperor. "

Daozu nodded slowly and said with a smile: "I'm just conceited."

"maybe."

Li Changshou smiled, continued to stare at the situation inside, and asked: "If the disciples lose in this formation, will the master directly take Mu Gong's life?"

Taoist ancestor Hongjun said: "I won't, I will just arrange some catastrophes after the great catastrophe.

Haotian is now the ruler of the three realms, and Pindao lives in seclusion behind the scenes. Naturally, he wants to take care of the face of Haotian, the Emperor of Heaven, and will not directly touch his beloved minister. "

"Then the disciple will feel relieved."

Li Changshou cupped his hands, and happened to see the golden light spot representing Emperor Xin. He quickly returned to Chaoge City from the east. He couldn't help but sigh slightly and closed his eyes.

Ninety percent is lost.

…

On a starry night, the sound of rolling horse hooves rang from the east side of Chaoge City, disturbing many sleeping mortals.

The Grand Palace, which had been deserted for several months, was brightly lit, and bright lamps were once again hung on the Star-Zhailing Tower. The most favored concubine in the palace was finishing her makeup in front of the dressing table.

Not long after, a palace maid came forward and reported: "Your Majesty, the king has gone to the palace to summon all the ministers to discuss matters."

"I just came back."

Daji pursed her lips, couldn't help complaining, and threw the piece of paper aside, "call me when the king is coming, and go to bed first."

The ladies around her all agreed and helped Daji to rest on the couch.

The Grand Palace, in a side hall.

Emperor Xin sat on the throne, raising his hand to support his forehead, with a heavy look of fatigue on his face, but he kept his energy up and listened to the ministers below talking about various military and government affairs.

After Bigan finished talking about the situation in Chaoge City, he hesitated to speak.

Di Xin said: "Uncle Wang, just say it directly."

"Your Majesty, would you like to mobilize some troops from the border?"

Bigan said seriously: "There are not many defenders in Chaoge City at present. If someone is killed, defense mobilization will be quite tight."

"There are still many guards in the palace," Di Xin said with a frown, "Nowadays, princes from all walks of life are making trouble, and the Zhou Kingdom relies on those from outside the country to invade again and again. If it does not have enough troops, it may not be able to support it.

Chaoge's walls are high and strong, so there's no need to worry too much.

In this way, let Fei Lian recruit some young merchants and people to supplement the city's defense. "

Another minister said: "Your Majesty, the ancestor ceremony will be ready in half a month. Do you want to return to the east immediately?"

"That's right," Emperor Xin said slowly, "I personally went on the expedition, but our merchant generals fought bravely to kill the enemy, winning battles many times, and the situation was great.

In another half year, the Eastern Conference will have a final say.

At that time, only Ji Fa's son in the west was in danger of the Great Shang Dynasty, so it was not a big concern.

This time I returned to Chaoge City, firstly to stabilize the overall situation, and secondly to pay homage to my ancestors.

However, the scene of honoring the ancestors does not need to be too big. Just slaughter some cattle and sheep for sacrifice. Let the witches not be idle and use them as needed.

Now that the Great Shang is fighting against the rebels, the ancestors will not mind this matter. "

"I obey your orders."

"ha--"

Di Xin yawned. Upon seeing this, the old ministers below were about to leave, but they heard Di Xin say: "A few of my dear friends who are responsible for the mobilization of food, grass, soldiers and armor in various ministries will stay here and tell me carefully about the expenses for these few months."

Several veterans bowed and ordered, and Bigan and other ministers resigned and left.

The candlelight in the main hall kept beating. The king on the throne, who was getting older and older, looked tired, but the light in his eyes never faded.

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

On the other hand, Daozu Hongjun's eyes were half-open at the moment, watching the situation in Nanzhou with great interest, as if he was watching something happy.

In the middle of Nanzhou, the Zhou army's eastern expedition camp was in the middle camp.

Several generals surnamed Ji bowed and resigned, and King Wu Jifa's tent became deserted again.

A palace lady stepped forward to take off King Wu's armor. The middle-aged 'king' soon lay on the bed, his eyes full of sorrow.

Why is the situation different from what the Immortals of Chanjiao said?

Didn’t it mean that Dashang’s luck would be good in a few years? Why is there a sign of ZTE now?

During Emperor Xin's eastward expedition, the Jiang family collapsed much faster than the princes expected.

Now most of the princes have doubts in their hearts. If Dashang can conquer the 600 cities in the east in a short time, many princes will be loyal to Dashang again.

Ji Fa was no longer surprised by this situation.

He is now the head of the Ji family, and the Ji family controls both inside and outside the Zhou Dynasty. This is the case for almost all princes.

Clan relatives are trustworthy.

Many big families can, when necessary, sacrifice the head of the family in exchange for the glory of the entire family.

If these princes surrender to the great merchants again, they will have their own methods...

"well."

Ji Fa sighed softly.

Immortal Chan also had too many rules. He would not give a single pill when he asked for it. He would not let the Immortal join the battle even if he asked for it. He also had many demands on the words and deeds of the King of Zhou.

We really invited back a group of ancestors.

These words were just spoken from the bottom of his heart. Ji Fa naturally understood that the Zhou Kingdom now relied entirely on Chanjiao for support.

The previous national strength was first destroyed by Beibo Hou Chonghou Hu, and then most of it was consumed by Wen Zhong's continuous western expedition.

If they lose this Eastern Expedition, they, the Zhou Kingdom, will not be able to bear it.

'Last chance. ’

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Several shouts came from outside the tent, and Ji Fa sat up and raised his hand to hold the sword beside his pillow.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Sir Guangchengzi, the Immortal Expounder of the Teaching, would like to see you!"

Guangchengzi?

Ji Fa suddenly became energetic and said, "Please!"

There was a response from outside the tent, and Guangchengzi drove the cloud directly into the tent. There was also an old man in a brocade robe with him on the cloud.

Ji Fa straightened his clothes and walked out quickly, and bowed his hands to Guang Chengzi.

Guangchengzi got straight to the point and said seriously: "Your Majesty, now is the time to attack the Shang Dynasty, and Emperor Xin has returned to Chaoge City to prepare for the sacrifice of his ancestors.

The king can lead his light cavalry to surprise Chao Ge.

At that time, the city gate will open by itself, and you can go straight to Emperor Xin's palace to cover up the killings and decide the outcome in one fell swoop. "

Ji Fa couldn't help but frown, looking at Guang Chengzi's serious face, wondering if the immortal was joking.

Surprise attack... Chaoge City?
