Chapter 1228: To Pacify the Country Before Fighting Against Foreign Enemies

Qin Yao put away the Xuanyuan Sword and said calmly: "It's a long story, so let's not talk about it."

Ju Liusun: "..."

After "It's a long story", shouldn't it be followed by "Let's talk about it in a short way"?

What the hell is it?

But no matter what, the current situation is that Shen Gongbao forced the Three Heavens to retreat, rescued Guangchengzi, and relieved all of their Golden Immortals from the siege, so he didn't dare to play the villain at this time, so as not to attract the reprimand of his senior brother Nanji Xianweng.

"Let's talk about it."

But Nanji Xianweng thought more and said slowly: "Especially the conversation between you and the Three Emperors."

He mainly wanted to know what Shen Gongbao said, so as not to pit them invisibly.

After all, outsiders don't know the inside story of the Twelve Golden Immortals, and they will only treat them as a whole, which leads to Shen Gongbao representing the Twelve Golden Immortals when he goes out.

Qin Yao pursed his lips and said in a concentrated voice: "Originally, I was anxiously looking for the fallen treasure money. Brother Huanglong suddenly sent me a message through a secret method, asking me to give up the search immediately and go to Huoyun Cave for help. I learned about the current situation of Xiqi from him. I didn't dare to delay, so I rushed to Huoyun Cave, revealed my identity, and begged the Three Emperors for help, but was rejected."

"Rejected?" Lingbao Master said in surprise.

"Brother, don't interrupt." Nanji Xianweng shouted.

Lingbao Master apologized quickly and explained: "I'm sorry, I was just too shocked."

Qin Yao nodded slightly: "Yes, I was rejected. In fact, I didn't think that the Three Emperors would refuse at that time, so I was anxious and confused, so I did something."

No one interrupted this time, and everyone waited for him to tell the story with shining eyes.

Qin Yao stopped at this time and sighed: "For all of you senior brothers and the cause of the Conferred God, I have paid too much."

The corner of Nanji Xianweng's mouth twitched, and he had to ask: "What did you pay?"

Qin Yao said with a bitter face: "I used the Chaos Bell as a gift, and then I really met the Three Emperors and persuaded the Three Emperors to help me."

"What?" At this moment, the Golden Immortals exclaimed.

The Nanji Xianweng even approached Qin Yao, staring and said: "Junior Brother, say it again."

Qin Yao had to repeat it again, and now the Golden Immortals were sure that they had heard it correctly, but they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

After a full cup of tea, Ju Liusun was the first to react and shouted, "Impossible, you are lying. The Chaos Bell has disappeared for many years. How could it appear in your hands?"

At this time, the other Golden Immortals woke up from their dreams. Nanji Xianweng said seriously, "Brother Shen, this matter is not a joke!"

He also couldn't believe that the Chaos Bell would fall into Shen Gongbao's hands. This was too absurd.

Qin Yao said sincerely, "I'm not joking. How can I not know the importance of this matter?"

As he said this, he flipped his hand and summoned Xuanyuan Sword again, saying, "After I presented the Chaos Bell, the Human Emperor gave me this sword and asked me to come with this sword and order the three Xiaos to retreat. He also said that if the three Xiaos did not retreat, he would show up in person and take the three Xiaos away. In addition, he did not mention returning the sword. I think this sword should be my compensation."

The immortals were stunned again.

After a long time.

The immortals who gradually came back to their senses all looked at Shen Gongbao with strange eyes. The complexity of this look could not be described with individual words at all.

How to say it.

Even if they were not the ones who made this stupid deal, they all felt sorry for it and felt distressed for it.

Taking the Chaos Bell to exchange for the Xuanyuan Sword is not a waste of money, it is something that only a fool would do.

But the problem is, this fool said that he did this stupid thing for them, what else can they say, judge him as stupid?

Nanji Xianweng repeated several sets of deep breaths, and then barely suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and asked: "Junior Brother Shen, how did you get the Chaos Bell?"

Qin Yao shook his head and lied without changing his face: "I promised others that I can't tell you."

His goal has been achieved. If he continues to talk, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing.

No one knows better than him what it means to say that disaster comes from the mouth!

"What can't be said about this? We are a family." Qingxu Zhenren said.

Qin Yao said seriously: "Senior Brother Qingxu, this has nothing to do with the closeness of the relationship, but the meaning of keeping a promise. Although I am a demon, I also know that I must keep my word."

Qingxu Zhenren: "..."

On the other side

As the three gods left, the disheartened Wen Zhong took Zhang Tianjun and Yao Tianjun back to Sishui Pass again. The three of them sat in the city gate tower as host and guest, and they were speechless.

After an unknown amount of time, Wen Zhong sighed and said, "Brothers, if you leave now... I can understand."

The two Tianjuns looked at each other and said at the same time, "I won't leave."

Wen Zhong stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them: "Thank you for your loyalty."

The two of them quickly stood up to return the greeting. Yao Tianjun said, "We are not leaving for the sake of justice. More importantly, we want to avenge several dead Taoist friends. Otherwise, how can we go back to Jin'ao Island?"

Wen Zhong sighed, "But now that the three gods are gone, who can help us?"

The two Tianjuns were silent.

Who else can help them?

The Golden Spirit Mother can.

But the question is, does Wen Zhong dare or will he go to his master for such a mundane matter?

Moreover, it is still in this Conferred God Tribulation!

That night.

Wen Zhong sat alone in a high building, looking at Xiqi from afar, wondering whether to return to his master's sect to ask for help.

"Grandmaster." Suddenly, a colorful pheasant flew into the air, and its feet stepped on the fence outside the city gate.

"Who is this evil?" Wen Zhong subconsciously summoned his male and female whips and asked coldly.

The next moment, a team of black armored soldiers rushed over at high speed, and sharp arrows were aimed at the pheasant's body.

"Grandmaster, I'm here to help you." The pheasant spirit said.

"Help me?" Wen Zhong frowned.

If it were in the past, he would definitely sneer at this. But now, he can't find any other way out, but he is willing to listen to the other party's words.

"That's right, Grandmaster, please let these soldiers retreat. What I'm going to say next is not suitable for them to listen." The pheasant spirit said.

Wen Zhong was silent for a moment, waved his hand and said: "All retreat."

"Yes."

The soldiers knew that their commander was powerful, so they did not make any persuasion and retreated quickly.

The pheasant spirit watched them walk away quietly, and then said: "I am the imperial concubine Hu in the palace."

Wen Zhong was slightly shocked, but his face remained calm: "Then what?"

The pheasant spirit said again: "Empress Daji is a fox spirit."

Wen Zhong: "..."

Are you here to surrender?

"Why are you telling me this?"

The pheasant spirit: "Because I want to show you that although we are all monsters, we are of the same mind as the king and stand on the ship of Yin Shang."

Wen Zhong looked at her deeply and said: "Why?"

The pheasant spirit said without hesitation: "Except Yin Shang, except the king, there is no other place and no one else in the world who can give us this honor and wealth."

Wen Zhong was silent.

It felt both funny and sad.

"You don't look very strong, how can you help me?" After a moment, he asked in a concentrated voice.

Pheasant spirit: "Your repeated attempts have proved that Xiqi is difficult to break from the outside. If so, why not try to break from the inside?"

"What do you mean?" Wen Zhong said.

The pheasant spirit continued: "As far as I know, Ji Chang has a hundred sons. Is it possible that there is no ambitious person among these hundred sons? As long as there is one, it can become our breakthrough."

Wen Zhong's eyes lit up slightly and said: "Who will do this?"

"Of course I will do the solution I proposed." Pheasant spirit said.

Wen Zhong's mood became complicated again, and he was speechless for a while.

"I also have something for you to do." At this time, the pheasant spirit suddenly said.

Wen Zhong exhaled lightly and said: "What does Concubine Hu want?"

If this demon can really cause chaos in Xiqi, then what if he recognizes the other party's identity as a concubine?

"Xuanyuan Lan, the imperial teacher of the Shang Dynasty, was ordered by the goddess Nuwa to come down to the world to overthrow the Shang Dynasty. Many of the evil deeds of the king today were carried out under her advice. If you want to save the Shang Dynasty, kill Xuanyuan Lan first." The pheasant spirit said, "So I want you to rush back to Chaoge now, and kill him by surprise."

Wen Zhong: "..."

Seven days later.

Chaoge, the imperial teacher's residence.

Xuanyuan Lan walked towards the study step by step with a cane.

When she came to the door of the study and was about to push it open, a feeling of fear quickly spread throughout her body, making her back cold. The hand she stretched out hung in the air, and then she retracted it.

"Bang."

The next moment, the door opened automatically inwards. Xuanyuan Lan looked up and saw the old imperial teacher in military uniform holding two whips, standing in front of her desk, looking at her coldly.

Xuanyuan Lan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he asked expressionlessly, "What does the Grand Master mean?"

"Shua."

Suddenly, the scene in front of Xuanyuan Lan changed, and he came from the door of the study to a world full of yellow sand, and saw countless souls transformed into skulls, flying in the air.

The old Grand Master appeared from the endless yellow sand and said faintly, "Let's do it."

After that, countless skulls quickly wrapped around Xuanyuan Lan, and bursts of ghosts and wolves howled while flying.

Xuanyuan Lan waved her crutches and kept smashing skulls, but she couldn't finish it. The wind carrying the yellow sand blew on her body, making her soul tremble, and finally lost control and transformed into her true body.

When a huge fox appeared in the formation, Wen Zhong took action. The male and female whips in his hands turned into two dragons in the blink of an eye. With a terrible roar, they kept biting the fox and finally tore the fox apart.

Wen Zhong matched the Fallen Formation and had no pressure to kill Xuanyuan Lan.

So, they have never been weak, but the defense of Xiqi is too strong...

At the same time.

Xiqi.

Wen Wang's son Hu An entered the palace late at night and asked to see his grandmother Tai Ren, and the palace was lit with candles again...

"Grandson Hu An, meet your grandmother." After seeing the old Tai Ren lying on the bed, the plump Hu An knelt down and saluted.

"Get up, get up." Tai Ren always doted on this fat grandson, not caring about his late night disturbances. Instead, he asked, "An'er, have you encountered any urgent troubles?"

Huan said seriously, "My grandson has not encountered any troubles, but our Xiqi is experiencing a disaster."

Tai Ren said, "You mean the attack by Master Wen? Don't worry, with the protection of the immortals, my Xiqi will definitely be as solid as a rock."

Huan shook his head and said, "My grandson is not worried about others, but these immortals."

Tai Ren's face changed slightly, and he asked tentatively, "But someone told you something?"

Huan: "Grandmother, my father, eldest brother, and second brother have all signed soul contracts with the dragon clan, right?"

Tai Ren nodded and said, "Yes, this is not a secret in Xiqi."

Huan: "But I heard that the contract is a puppet contract. Anyone who signs the contract will become a puppet of the immortal. Grandmother, didn't you notice? Whether it is father or the eldest and second brothers, they all obey Shen Gongbao's orders..."

Tai Ren: "..."

After a moment of silence, she said softly: "An'er, don't slander the immortals. Your father and brothers are willing to listen to the national teacher because he has the ability to help our family."

Huan shook his head: "Grandson can prove that what I said is true."

Tai Ren frowned and said, "How to prove it?"

Huan took a few steps forward and whispered his plan.

The next day.

Tai Ren held a celebration banquet to entertain the immortals of Kunlun and thanked them for their contributions to defending the city.

After all the immortals came to the banquet, Hu An took Tai Ren's personal female official to the Imperial Master's Mansion, controlled the entire mansion in the name of searching for thieves, and searched extensively. Soon, they found a secret letter in the study...

Tai Ren's female official opened the secret letter and read it. She was shocked by the content and left quickly with the secret letter.

More than an hour later.

Qin Yao returned to the mansion, and the housekeeper in the mansion immediately reported to him about the search for the thief. He immediately realized that there must be something fishy about it. Then he went to the study room as the housekeeper said, closed the door, and performed a secret method to see what happened in the room...

"Master Wen has changed his tactics."

After dispersing the light and shadow in front of him, Qin Yao's face showed no fear.

Terror and fear often come from the unknown, but once you see the opponent's chess moves clearly, especially if you see the opponent's chess moves clearly in advance, there will be no fear at all.

After a while, Qin Yao went out and climbed up to the Prime Minister's Mansion to conspire with Jiang Ziya about this matter and how to deal with it.

Inside the palace.

Hu An knelt in front of Tai Ren and said, "The letter Jiang Ziya sent to Shen Gongbao has already shown that their purpose is to keep the emperor captive, so as to extract the dynasty's luck for cultivation. Grandmother, please make a decision quickly and dismiss Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya."

Tai Ren stared at Hu An and pulled out a letter from his sleeve: "The content of this letter is indeed horrifying, but... is this really written by Jiang Ziya to Shen Gongbao?"

"Du Juan saw it with her own eyes. This was searched out from Shen Gongbao's study." Hu An said.

Tai Ren sighed: "What you see with your own eyes may not be true, An'er... Grandmother heard that you recently met a confidante?"

Hu An: "..."

"Go and bring this confidante. Grandmother wants to see her." Tai Ren said again.

Juan frowned slightly: "Grandma still refuses to believe me?"

Tai Ren said: "What if you believe me? What if you don't believe me? Silly boy, it doesn't matter. You didn't see the point."

Huan was at a loss: "What?"

Tai Ren tore the letter into pieces in front of him: "The point is, we need them now. Did you hear that clearly? We need them now. Even if we want to investigate, now is not the time... You were bewitched by the fox charm and took the wrong path!" (End of this chapter)
