My Immortal Brother-in-law

Chapter 16: General of Chentang Pass
Facing Zhong Su's surprised look, Kong Xuan shrugged awkwardly.

"Don't look at me like that, this is how the wilderness is, everything is subject to fate.

In my opinion, there is no such thing as fate. Whoever is stronger is fate.

In short, my brother has given this five-colored divine light to you. Even if you don't use it to steal other people's spiritual treasures, this divine light can protect you once when you are in danger.

Brother promises that as long as the person you meet is not a saint, even if you meet the former guest of Zixiao Palace, even if he is a great master like Minghe Kunpeng, Randang and Zhenyuan.

They will never be able to easily shake off my five-colored divine light!"

Having said this, Kong Xuan encouraged himself. He was telling the truth and his brother Zhong Su would definitely understand and be grateful to him.

As for Zhong Su, he raised his hand to smooth his hair, then nodded with relief.

"In that case, I would like to thank you for the gift!"

"Haha, you're too polite, let's drink!
Let’s have one drink first, and we’ll think about the rest when we get back with snacks, haha!”

At this point, the two of them toasted each other and got drunk on the white tiger.

Kong Xuan's family soldiers escorted the two men all the way. After walking for several hours, Kong Xuan woke up slowly, but Zhong Su was still sleeping.

After waking up, he looked at Zhong Su and smiled knowingly.

Looking around, seeing Kong Xuan wake up and stand up, a family guard immediately came over and asked.

"General, Doctor Zhong has been sleeping so long that he can't even get up. Do you want to find a doctor..."

"No need."

Kong Xuan simply waved his hand and explained to the family general.

"My few bottles of good wine are very nutritious. I am a mortal brother, so I need to sleep more for a few days to digest the nutritious food.

Normally, Su Di should sleep for about forty days. If Su Di is talented enough, maybe it will be earlier.

In short, you don't have to worry about him, just protect the area around the team.

Next, we should speed up and get to Sanshan Pass as soon as possible, so as to make room for my brother to practice in peace!"

At this point, Kong Xuan's team entered acceleration mode, and Kong Xuan even went hunting personally for the soldiers to supplement their nutrition.

With this forced march, it took them only a week to cross the mountains and fields and arrive at the first checkpoint outside the Shang capital, which was also the checkpoint closest to the Shang royal palace.

Chentang Pass!
Seeing a large number of soldiers approaching, the civilians waiting to leave Chentang Pass quickly dispersed, allowing Kong Xuan to approach the pass in a swagger.

At the same time, following the notification from the garrison inside the pass, Li Shiying, the general of Chentang Pass, also rushed to the pass with his six-year-old son.

"Ajing."

General Li Shiying said to his son as they walked.

"Just like before, follow Dad and see the world. You are not allowed to speak without Dad's permission!
Although our Chentang Pass is the closest to the capital, even so, any military general who comes out of the capital is not someone we can treat with disrespect.

After all, those people are staying beside the Emperor, and they are much closer to the King than our nearest checkpoint!"

After he finished speaking, Li Shiying took his son to the checkpoint.

After thinking carefully, six-year-old Li Jing whispered to his father.

"Father, the last time the army went out of the pass, it was led by Grand Tutor Zhong. That time, I really broadened my horizons, but Grand Tutor Zhong...

So, father, will the troops that are leaving the country this time come to avenge Master Zhong?"

At this point, Li Jing became a little excited. When he thought of the death of Grand Tutor Zhong, who had taught him earnestly, in Guifang, he wished he could grow up quickly so he could attack Guifang and avenge himself for the Shang Dynasty.

However, he was interrupted by his father, and Li Shiying raised his finger and said.

"Don't talk about military affairs, Ajing, that is something only the king is qualified to decide!

We are the generals of the Shang army. We only need to obey the king's orders. We should not act on impulse, and we are not allowed to secretly inquire about the deployment of other troops!"

After he finished speaking, Li Shiying patted Li Jing's head heavily. "Shut up, we are about to reach the pass!"

At this point, Li Shiying brought Li Jing to the city gate and looked at Kong Xuan's army below.

After taking a look, Li Jing lowered his eyebrows slightly.

The line in front of me is not short, but not long either. I'm afraid it's less than 20,000 people.

Even a kid like Li Jing knew that the king would never send a mere 20,000 men to Guifang to avenge the Grand Tutor.

So he blinked in disappointment.

In the imperial court of the Shang Dynasty, the position of Grand Master was the leader of all the military forces in the world!

Although Zhong Suli's adoptive father had no military strength, he was not lacking in personal charm.

As the Grand Tutor, when Grand Tutor Zhong first came to power, he had personal contact with the generals at the checkpoints in various places.

As the son of a general, Li Jing had a very good impression of the amiable elder like Master Zhong.

At the same time, at the pass, Kong Xuan bowed from a distance and spoke loudly.

"I am Kong Xuan, the newly appointed general of Sanshan Pass. I have the imperial decree and the complete tiger seal. I ask General Li to open the gate and make way for me!"

"Li Shiying, the general of Chentang Pass, obeys the king's order, open the gate!"

After following the simple rules, the gates of Chentang Pass were opened wide to welcome Kong Xuan's troops in.

While the soldiers guarding Chentang Pass were preparing supplies for Kong Xuan's army according to the rules, Li Shiying came to meet Kong Xuan with his son Li Jing.

Even from a distance, Li Shiying put on a smile and greeted him.

"Brother Kong, long time no see. I didn't expect the king would be willing to send General Kong to guard Sanshan Pass!"

"I will go to the king to ask for his will, otherwise he will be reluctant to let me go."

Kong Xuan responded with a smile, and then the two of them quickly moved closer and talked for a long time.

They were all generals of the Shang Dynasty and knew each other, but they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

After the greetings, Kong Xuan leaned over to look at the little Li Jing and asked with a smile.

"I heard a few years ago that General Li had a baby boy. As expected, this little boy must be him.

What a dashing appearance, General Li, why don't you introduce him to me?"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing Kong Xuan's words, Li Shiying couldn't help laughing. While laughing, he put his arm around Li Jing's shoulders and said.

"This is my son Li Jing. He has read a few military books at such a young age. General Kong, thank you for your praise."

Having said that, Li Shiying continued to speak to Li Jing.

"Come, Jing'er, come and meet General Kong Xuan.

My son doesn't know that when General Kong was the last king, he was known as the best general of our Shang Dynasty. He was indeed very powerful!

You must learn from General Kong in the future. Military books are important, but strength is the foundation of our military. "

Hearing his father's words, Li Jing looked at Kong Xuan with stars in his eyes.

The first warrior of the Shang Dynasty!

This is really... a wonderful name!
As for Kong Xuan, he looked at Li Shiying, who was praising his son while obviously eager to hear him continue to be praised.

Faced with this kind of baby-showing maniac from the Shang Dynasty, he quickly gave Li Jing a 360-degree all-round praise in front of Li Shiying.

At the same time, Zhong Su, who was protected by Kong Xuan's soldiers, finally woke up from the white tiger.
