I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 525 Conversation with King Huainan

Da Jin, Conferred God Platform.

There is no better place to communicate with the immortal world than the Conferred God Platform, which can save Zhang Daoling a lot of effort.

The old Taoist priest took off his official robe and put on his Taoist robe for the first time in a long time. He looked quite like an immortal and a worldly master.

"His Majesty."

Zhang Daoling, who had recovered his cultivation, still abided by the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers in front of Fan Li.

"When I communicated with the King of Huainan, I was a Huainan citizen... Please forgive me."

It is said that a loyal minister will not serve two masters.

Zhang Daoling was not only a subject of the Huainan Immortal Kingdom, but also a Taifu of the Jin Dynasty.

This 'dual nationality' status made him feel guilty when facing Fan Li.

"Don't worry, Master."

"Special matters will be dealt with specially, I know it well."

"Whether it is now or in the future, as long as the Grand Tutor is willing, he will always be my most important minister and good minister."

Fan Li can be said to have Zhang Daoling under control.

Every word spoke to his heart!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Daoling was so excited that he almost shed tears.

"Your Majesty, please retreat for a moment, I...are about to begin."

Fan Li nodded, led Qingqiu, Lu Fubao and the important civil and military officials, bypassed the altar of the Conferred God Platform, and temporarily entered a side hall to rest.

The Fengshen Platform is turbulent and full of atmosphere!
Zhang Daoling sometimes danced his sword and sometimes drew talismans.

About half an hour later, as expected, a ray of fairy light fell from the sky like a white jade pillar and fell on Zhang Daoling.

I saw him slowly leaning down, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.

"My humble minister Zhang Daoling begs to report that the Emperor of Jin has postponed his ascension."

His attitude was so humble that even Fan Li and others did not expect it.

However, despite Zhang Daoling's humble posture, the immortal world did not respond for a long time.

It's like... you don't bother to talk to him right away?
After another half an hour, a voice finally came down from the sky.

"Go ahead."

"I'm listening."

This voice was high, majestic, and extremely noble.

After hearing this, all the ministers of the Jin Dynasty couldn't help but admire secretly.

Although I don’t know the details of the Huainan Immortal Kingdom, the fact that the king is like this shows that he is really impressive.

However, although it is not vulgar, it is not to the extent that everyone in the world will surrender.

"Let's start, Your Majesty."

"The young minister Zhang Daoling has been ordered by the king to go down to recruit troops."

"Fan Li, the mortal emperor of the Jin Dynasty, was loyal and benevolent, diligent in government, loved the people, and worked hard to govern. He was a wise king of his generation."

"What's even more rare is that Fan Li obeys the destiny and does not covet the wealth and glory of the world. He should recruit soldiers..."

In the sky, the impatient voice of King Huainan came.

"Since you are complying with destiny, you can just recruit him to heaven. Why do you ask for an extension?"

"Because Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty made frequent military exploits, all the kingdoms in the world could not live in peace." Zhang Daoling hurriedly explained: "The Kingdom of Jin is also deeply involved in war. The Emperor of Jin cannot let go of his family and his subjects, so he hereby requests to postpone his ascension."

The sky fell into a brief silence.

Zhang Daoling knew that King Huainan should be investigating and confirming to prevent him from lying.

"Oh?"

After a long time, King Huainan's surprised voice came from the sky.

"That Ming Emperor killed Li Changgeng?"

"Yes!" Zhang Daoling hurriedly continued: "Your Majesty, Emperor Jiajing used such methods, which shows that Emperor Jin is under great pressure and cannot ascend immediately."

There was another silence in the sky.

Fan Li eavesdropped in the side hall next to the altar and gained a lot.

It seems that the immortal world does not pay much attention to Li Changgeng and Zhang Daoling's recruitment of soldiers from the lower world?

However, Fan Li collected various intelligence and confirmed that there was a shortage of troops in the Immortal Realm, which should be an urgent matter.

Why aren't you in a hurry?

Think about it too.

Zhang Daoling went to the lower world for a year, but there was no response from the immortal world.

Li Changgeng was killed, and no one has been held accountable to this day. Could it be that something has changed in the fairy world?
If this is the case, I am afraid that the war situation is greatly favorable, so there is no rush to recruit new soldiers.

"That's fine."

"I will give you another year."

"After a year, you have to take people to heaven."

The voice of King Huainan sounded in the sky again, and the mood of impatience increased.

It seems that communicating with Zhang Daoling is an extremely time-consuming and meaningless thing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your tolerance!"

Zhang Daoling didn't care about this.

He was now filled with joy after completing the tasks assigned by Fan Li.

But the next second, the voice of King Huainan dropped again.

"Zhang Daoling."

"It's just a small matter to recruit soldiers, but you delay the task for a long time. It seems that I have overestimated your ability, and you should be punished severely!"

"After one year, if you can complete the task, I will allow you to equalize your merits and demerits and not care about it."

"Otherwise, I will deprive you of your Huainan immortal status and drive you out of the immortal kingdom!"

"Did you hear that clearly?!"

The sudden reprimand made Zhang Daoling sweat profusely and made him feel ashamed.

Originally, he was an immortal who came down to earth, so it was natural for him to be honored by Fan Li!

Among the officials of the Jin Dynasty, Zhang Daoling also believed that there was a difference between immortals and mortals, and he should be superior to others.

But now, the King of Huainan actually ignored his face and scolded him for his incompetence in a voice that could be heard throughout Jincheng!
"Why?!"

"I have been fighting for the King of Huainan for hundreds of years, and he treats me like this?!"

At some point, the fairy light like a white jade pillar had disappeared, which meant that King Huainan had cut off contact with Zhang Daoling.

But he was still in shock and knelt on the altar for a long time, unable to get up.

"I... I have lost all my face. How can I still have the dignity to gain a foothold in the Jin Dynasty in the future?"

"Immortal book?"

"My Huainan Immortal status, which I earned with my military exploits, will be taken away if the king says so?"

Whether because of fear or anger, Zhang Daoling's body continued to tremble.

After a long time, he felt a large group of people gathered around him.

Looking sideways, of course it was Fan Li, Qingqiu, Lu Fubao and the civil and military officials.

Zhang Daoling was so ashamed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

However, Fan Li suddenly bowed to him!

"For me."

"For Dajin."

"The master has endured the humiliation for so long."

"I will never forget the great righteousness of Taifu today!"

"Master, please accept my courtesy!"

After Fan Li finished speaking, Qingqiu and Lu Fubao, who were beside him as husband and wife, saluted Zhang Daoling together.

"Tafu is righteous!"

Wang Ban, Hu Zongxian and other important officials of the Jin Dynasty all paid tribute to Zhang Daoling.

"Tafu is righteous!!!"

Under the Conferring God Stage, whether it was spontaneously or Fan Li had prepared for it, all the people of Jincheng gathered together and shouted in praise of Zhang Daoling!

At this moment, it seemed as if Zhang Daoling was the great hero of the entire dynasty!
Zhang Daoling cried.

Tears were uncontrollable at all and burst out of my eyes.

"Your Majesty, minister...this is your duty as a minister, how dare you..."

"Fortunately, I got the one year that Your Majesty asked for."

Your kindness is like the ocean, and you can only repay it by sacrificing your life!
Between the Huainan Immortal King and Fan Li, the human emperor, Zhang Daoling clearly felt the gap and what it meant to be a courtesy corporal!

suddenly!

He gritted his teeth, waved his hand and slapped it on the God Conferring Stage!
A scroll with spiritual energy manifested slowly unfolded in front of everyone.

Zhang Daoling, who was at the ninth level of Mahayana realm, deeply carved his name on the scroll.

"Grand Tutor of the Jin Dynasty, Zhang Daoling, his name is on the list of gods!"
