Chapter 50: Temporarily avoiding the edge
Shang State.

While Lu Gui was furious and helpless, Cheng Tang and Yi Yin had already successfully returned to the Shang State under the protection of the Golden Peng.

Zhao Gongming arrived first and nodded slightly, saying, "Zhao Gongming of Jiejiao, greetings to Lord Shang!"

At the same time, he was also practicing the method of observing the aura, sizing up the man of destiny as mentioned by his teacher.

after all……

He had missed it once before!

Upon hearing this, Cheng Tang returned the greeting and said, "I haven't thanked you for saving my life yet!"

As soon as Zhao Gongming saw the extremely rich luck of Cheng Tang, which showed the aura of a latent dragon emerging from the abyss, he was immediately sure that he was the man of destiny he was looking for. He laughed and said, "Shang Hou, you are too polite! The righteous will have many supporters, while the unrighteous will have few! Shang Hou has great luck and is destined to take on the destiny of overthrowing the Xia Dynasty and becoming the new king of men! Naturally... there will be an endless stream of practitioners coming to help Shang Hou!"

"King of men?"

Cheng Tang was shocked when he heard this.

Originally, he just wanted to return to Shang Kingdom safely, but he didn't expect Zhao Gongming to make a shocking statement and actually said that he would become the new King of Men!
“My Lord!” Zhao Gongming explained, “This is a joint decision of Heaven and Man, and it is also a prophecy spoken by my teacher, the Saint Tongtian!”

Yi Yin also echoed, "My Lord, you are the man chosen by heaven! That's why you can turn misfortune into fortune and turn disaster into blessing!"

Zhao Gongming continued, "Nakagiri is cruel and ruthless, and he violated the rules set by the Three Sovereigns and the Saints. This is the perfect opportunity for you to raise an army and become king, and change the world! I believe that as long as you raise your arms and call for action, I believe that the princes of the Nine Provinces, as well as the many people in the Nine Provinces, will respond!"

Jin Peng, who had been standing aside for a long time, also spoke at the right time: "My Phoenix lineage will also do its best to help the Marquis achieve the position of the Human King!"

"This……"

However, Cheng Tang was very conflicted.

Because he knew that with the current strength of the Shang Kingdom, it was simply unable to fight against the Xia Dynasty.

The You Shi family and the You Min family are examples of lessons learned from the past.

Moreover, when a war breaks out, the common people will be the ones who suffer in the end.

"Lugui is tyrannical and murderous, and everyone has the right to kill him!" Cheng Tang thought for a moment, looked at Zhao Gongming and Jin Peng with embarrassment, and said, "But... Immortals, it's not that I don't want to raise an army, but my Shang Kingdom has no means to compete with Lugui's troops!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Yin couldn't help but laugh and said, "My Lord, you may not know that in addition to the two immortals, the elders of the Jiuli tribe have also come to the Shang Kingdom! They are willing to offer the military training techniques created by the military master, and send people to help you, the Marquis, to build a powerful army with armed weapons to help you clear all obstacles!"

"really?"

Cheng Tang was overjoyed when he heard this.

He had heard about the great battle between Lugui's men and Youmin clan before, and he also knew that immortals were afraid of being contaminated by the cause and effect of the mortal world and could not attack mortals at will.

therefore……

He understood that the cultivators from Jiejiao and Phoenix clan could only help him deal with the practitioners from Xia Dynasty at most.

But he still needs to deal with the army of mortals.

Can……

If he had the help of the Jiuli tribe, the Jiuli tribe's military training techniques would be enough for him to quickly build an army and have the strength to compete with the Xia Dynasty.

After all, it was with those powerful weapons and armor that Chi You defeated Emperor Huangdi nine times in a row and established his reputation as the Lord of War!

"Of course it's true!" Yi Yin nodded and said to Cheng Tang: "My Lord, the elders of Jiuli are now in my Shang State! If you want to meet them, I will introduce them to you immediately!"

"it is good!"

Cheng Tang agreed without hesitation, and then looked at Zhao Gongming and Jin Peng, saying: "I, Cheng Tang, have no choice but to lead the army to attack Xia. However, with the current strength of our Shang Kingdom, it is not enough to fight against Lugui! Two Immortals, I think... we should put off the matter of declaring ourselves king and raising an army for a while!"

"Just do as the Marquis says!"

Zhao Gongming nodded, as if he would listen to Cheng Tang's advice.

after all……

He had previously assisted You Min clan and knew that in war, a country's foundation, wealth and military forces were also crucial.

Just relying on these practitioners alone is not enough to bring about a change of dynasty.

Jin Peng didn't say anything.

But, he nodded silently!

……

Xuan country.

After a period of trekking, Han Wu, Marquis of Xuanbo, also returned from paying tribute to Zhen'e with Han Ren.

only……

When we came back, there were more than a dozen people!
These people were the guards who escorted Si Jin back to marry Han Ren.

Among them is Jiang Wang, a practitioner who has entered the realm of Lianxu Hedao!
As soon as they arrived at Xuan State, Jiang Wang said to Han Wu, "My Lord, I heard that your eldest and second sons are both practitioners. Could you introduce them to me?" Han Wu smiled and said, "Of course! But my eldest son Han Jia has already gone to Jinting Mountain to practice with Daoxing Tianzun of the Chan Sect! I'm afraid Lord Jiang will not have the chance to meet him! As for the second son Han Yi, although he is still practicing in the mansion, he is more introverted and doesn't like to communicate with others! I'm afraid that Lord Jiang will be left out!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Jiang Wang shook his head and said, "It's rare to find practitioners in Jiuzhou. Even in the capital, there are only my teacher, Lord Shui Zheng, Lord Tao Zheng and a dozen other practitioners! When practicing, the worst thing to do is to work in isolation! I believe that the Second Young Master... will be happy to communicate with me!"

His trip to Xuan State to escort Si Jin was just a cover.

However, his real purpose is to investigate the so-called "revenge of evil spirits" and find out the mastermind behind the attack on Xuanbohou Mansion with flying zombies!
According to Prime Minister Guan Longpan's speculation, the mastermind behind the scenes was most likely someone known to Xuanbo Hou Han Wu!

even……

There is also some connection with Han Ren!

After all, Han Ren is the biggest beneficiary in this drama of revenge by evil spirits!

Have cultivation!
It’s related to Han Ren!
When these two conditions were added together, the first people Jiang Wang thought of were Xuanbo Hou's eldest son Han Jia and second son Han Yi.

Unfortunately……

He tried to test Han Ren many times along the way, but didn't detect anything unusual from him, as if... he was really a lucky guy who got a bargain!
Therefore, now he could only set his sights on Han Yi, a person he had never met before.

after all……

According to Marquis Xuanbo, the one who stepped forward, turned the tide and killed the two "evil spirits" was his second son, Han Yi, who had just embarked on the path of spiritual practice!
Jiang Wang always felt that there was something strange about this.

Because, in his opinion, since Han Yi has already embarked on the path of cultivation, he should know the flying zombie. How could he... mistakenly take the flying zombie for an evil spirit?

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Han Yi is narrow-minded.

Can……

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand in everything, just be afraid of the unexpected!

What if the incident with the evil spirit was staged and acted out by the second young master of the Marquis' Mansion?

"Master Hou!"

Upon learning the news that Han Wu had returned, Xuan State Prime Minister Baojie immediately arranged for people to wait at the city gate and personally came to greet him.

"Ok!"

Han Wu nodded in satisfaction and asked casually, "Where's Yi'er? Why can't I see him?"

According to the previous practice of princes paying tribute, every time Han Wu returned from Zhen'e, Han Jia would bring other concubines' sons to greet him at the city gate.

Can……

Last year, Han Jia became a disciple of Daoxing Tianzun, embarked on the path of immortality, and has now left the mundane world behind!
Moreover, after what happened last year, seven of his ten sons died for various reasons, which made him somewhat melancholy.

Naturally, I paid more attention to the remaining three sons.

Now, seeing only the Prime Minister holding the imperial seal and leading people to greet him, Han Wu felt a little disappointed.

"Forehead!"

Baojie hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Not long ago, the Second Young Master's teacher came and said that he would take him to practice for a period of time. Now he is not in the mansion, I am afraid that the Marquis will be disappointed!"

"Ok?"

"What a coincidence?"

Han Wu frowned when he heard this.

Also frowning like him was Jiang Wang, who was preparing to secretly investigate the matter of the flying zombie.

How come he was gone when he arrived?
This is certainly not a coincidence!

Before arriving in Xuan State, Han Wu sent someone to tell Baojie in advance to prepare to welcome him, Han Ren, and Si Jin, who would become the wife of Xuanbo Hou in the future!

It was also mentioned that Huo Zheng's disciple Jiang Wang was also among the guards.

therefore……

Han Yi immediately smelled an unusual scent.

He suspected that there might be someone in the royal capital who, from the words of Marquis Xuanbo, judged that the ones who killed Han Gui and others were not the evil spirits transformed by Han Bing and Han Ding, but flying zombies secretly controlled by someone.

To be on the safe side, he decided to stay out of the spotlight and hide away from the Marquis Xuanbo's mansion for a while.

As for that teacher, he was just an excuse for him to make up stories!

himself……

Now he is hiding in Qingshen Mountain, ready to return to Xuanbo Hou Mansion after confirming Jiang Wang’s purpose or waiting for him to leave!
