My Immortal Brother-in-law

Chapter 192 Emperor Yi is about to die
“Compared to Yindu, Chaoge’s city area is smaller and its palace is a bit run-down.

But no matter what, the environment near Chaoge is pretty good, and the water source is abundant. It's not like in Yindu, where everyone, including my brother, is extremely thirsty.

But over the years, alas...

Even if the capital is moved, the problem of drought cannot be solved.

We have recently started worshipping the Dragon King, but it was no use, so we stopped counting on the gods.

We have to get through this disaster ourselves!"

At this point, Bigan's mood became slightly high, but Wen Zhong, who was riding on the black unicorn beside him, still looked depressed.

After Bi Gan finished speaking, Wen Zhong came closer and continued what Bi Gan said.

"Brother Zhong Su, during the years you were away, we... at least I didn't embarrass myself.

Although we lost to Xiqi that year, we fought with Meng Fang later. I led the four generals of the Mo family and defeated Meng Fang.

Before we defeated Meng Fang, it was really difficult for us in Da Shang. You don’t know, although not all four sides rebelled at that time, nearly three of the four directions rebelled. This is no exaggeration.

King Di Yi and generals like me tried every possible means, marching to the east today and to the west tomorrow, and barely managed to prevent the collapse of the Shang Dynasty.

The battle with Xiqi had a huge impact. Although the Shang Dynasty did not lose in the end, that battle ultimately made the princes of the world see the weakness of the Shang Dynasty.

But it wasn't until fourteen years ago that things started to get interesting.

At that time, I was about to lead troops to pacify the Dongyi, but when I was on the way, I happened to encounter the rebellion of Meng Fang.

How could I tolerate this? I immediately had a fight with Meng Fang. It was also in this fight that your disciple Deng Jiugong became famous and captured two generations of Meng Fang kings alive.

By the way, among the new generation of generals, there are the four generals of the Mo family, and the disgraced Wucheng King Huang Gun, especially Huang Gun’s son, the new generation Wucheng King Huang Tianhua.

Haha, this kid Huang Tianhua is much better than his father.

After Huang Gun was easily captured by Ji Fa of Xiqi, the title of the Huang family's King Wucheng was no longer worthy of its name.

However, in the battle against Meng Fang fourteen years ago, the young general Huang Tianhua made great contributions. He killed nine generals of Meng Fang in a row and regained the title of King Wucheng!
When you follow us back to Chaoge, you will be able to meet those little kids and newcomers who are worth looking forward to.

Brother, if you saw that group of young people, you would be as excited as we are, because they are the future of Dashang!

Although the current Dashan is far behind its peak period, our Dashan is definitely full of talented people!

If the current Da Shang and his Xiqi were to fight the same battle again.

Humph, I guarantee that we can now pin Xiqi to the ground and beat him!

All of this was due to the efforts of King Di Yi, but... such a good king, such a good brother, his body collapsed just like that, ah..."

At this point, Wen Zhong took a breath sadly. The pain that Di Yi's illness brought to Wen Zhong was far greater than when Tai Ding left.

Although Tai Ding was very kind to Wen Zhong and others, he was the elder after all. Moreover, Tai Ding's character inherited some of Wu Yi's madness and brutality. Therefore, the relationship between Tai Ding and his ministers was far less close than that between Di Yi and his ministers now.

Whether it is Wen Zhong, Shang Rong or Bi Gan.

Most of the three dukes, nine ministers and ministers of the Shang Dynasty today are of the same generation as Emperor Yi.

Emperor Yi is the elder brother of Wen Zhong, Zhong Su and others!
Therefore, when Emperor Yi's body became increasingly weak, the sadness of Wen Zhong and others became far more intense than in previous years.

Even now that he was sitting on the Black Qilin, he couldn't help but shed some tears.

Looking at Wen Zhong wiping his tears, Zhong Su sighed, then patted Wen Zhong's shoulder with his whisk.

"Ah Zhong, don't act like a child. Even if Brother Zixian passes away, he will go to the Fire Cloud Cave as a human emperor to practice and avert disaster.

One day, when the Fire Cloud Cave reopens, I will take you to visit Fuxi and the other Three Emperors.

We will also be able to meet King Taiding and King Diyi!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Su rode Hu Jiao closer to Mo Qilin and patted Wen Zhong's shoulder with his hand.

As it approached, Hu Jiao patted Mo Qilin's leg with her paw in disdain.

"Hey, long time no see, Qilin.

Look at me, hehe, I have become the mount of the master of Xuanmen~
My master has been upgraded, haha, you didn’t expect that!
Now we are also following the master's success, and everyone in the family will benefit from it~."

After saying that, Hu Jiao laughed, turned around, and kicked Qilin's waist with her hind legs.

Facing the unreasonable Hu Jiao, Mo Qilin snorted angrily, and then spit hot saliva at Hu Jiao.

Seeing the two mounts having so much fun, Wen Zhong, who was originally feeling sad, couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"These two beasts, oh, if only human beings could live as simply and happily as the beasts.

King Di Yi has truly worked hard to govern the country in recent years. He and his subjects like me have been helping each other and have a tacit understanding.

Now, I really can’t bear to leave!

Whenever I think about that kind of thing, my heart always feels like it's about to jump out of my chest.

How could it be so fast? It’s only been... twenty-six years.

The king has only been on the throne for twenty-six years.

Time... really waits for no one..."

Accompanied by Wen Zhong's sighs, Zhong Su and his party walked further and further away, and finally arrived in Chaoge City two days later.

Because the capital was relocated not long ago, the current Chaoge City still looks a little dilapidated, far from the prosperous appearance of later generations.

However, the people of Chaoge are now full of energy and spirit. After all, after Emperor Yi moved the capital, they, who were originally people from small places in the secondary capital, were suddenly upgraded to upper-class people in the main capital.

In addition, the climate and environment of Chaoge are quite good. Today's Chaoge seems to be much more vibrant than today's Yin.

When Zhong Suli walked into the palace, there was no doubt that the person responsible for guarding the safety of the palace was Zhong Suli's good brother Kong Xuan.

Seeing Zhong Su from afar, Kong Xuan rode his horse over quickly. After glancing at Wen Zhong and Bigan, he walked up to Zhong Su as if no one was around and asked with a smile.

"A Su, how has our Xuan Sect developed recently?
I heard that you and Hou Tu have reached an agreement, right?

I guess with the help of future calamity, we can guide the underworld into the Zhongshan sequence, right?
Tsk tsk, the Queen Mother of Earth is really generous, and she is worthy of the title of the Queen Mother of Heaven. With the Queen Mother of Earth and the Six Paths of Reincarnation paving the way for us, the future of our Xuanmen is bright!"

"indeed."

Following Brother Kong Xuan's words, Zhong Su dismounted the White Tiger and, smiling, held Kong Xuan's arm.

"Not only Hou Tu, didn't you, elder brother, also bring the Phoenix Clan to merge the Wutong trees into the Zhongshan Mountain in Luotian?

Since everyone supports us so much, our Xuanmen will certainly not get worse. If my prediction is correct, then within the next eight hundred years, our Xuanmen will be able to completely establish itself!"

Having said this, Zhong Su and Kong Xuan walked away arm in arm. Their words made Wen Zhong gasp in admiration.

Beside Wen Zhong, Bigan asked Wen Zhong in a low voice.

"Grandmaster, I am not a Qi cultivator, so I really don't understand what Ah Su said. But I seem to hear the Queen Mother Hou Tu in their conversation!
So, Ah Su is now..."

"Yes."

In response to Bigan's question, Wen Zhong nodded slightly and then said with emotion.

"Brother Bigan is right. Brother Zhong Su is now the leader of a faction among the Qigong practitioners!

I have to admit that my brother's talent is truly rare in the world. In just a few decades, even the most powerful person among the powerful, such as Hou Tu Niangniang, has become my brother's collaborator.

Even at my master's side, I often hear the elders talking about Brother Zhong Suli.

If I had known that you would suddenly become so capable, I would have become your disciple. Then my status in the cultivation world would have been raised to a higher level."

At this point, Wen Zhong couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. This was one of the rare smiles he had shown recently.

Seeing that Wen Zhong rarely laughed, Bigan nodded with satisfaction.

“If that’s the case, then it means that Ah Su’s status in the Qigong lineage is getting higher and higher, and his abilities are also getting greater and greater!

In this case, it seems that we should promote Deng Jiugong more often to encourage A Su's followers to work in our Da Shang.

There are too many disciples of Jiejiao in our Da Shang. Even you, A Zhong, are a disciple of Jiejiao.

Although Jiejiao and our Great Shang share weal and woe, it would be a good thing if there were more people like A Su who are closer to the Great Shang!"

"indeed!"

Wen Zhong agreed with Bigan without hesitation.

After all, although Wen Zhong is also a disciple of Jiejiao, he is actually a disciple of Jiejiao of Dashan.

Unlike most of the disciples of Jiejiao, if Jiejiao ever came into conflict with Dashan, Wen Zhong would betray his master without hesitation and support Dashan.

And now, for people like Wen Zhong who are only concerned about the Great Shang Dynasty.

Zhong Su, the Taoist master of Xuanmen who truly came from the royal family of the Shang Dynasty, the sect he led and the disciples he taught were truly more attractive than the disciples of Jiejiao!

For a moment, Wen Zhong made up his mind.

As there are fewer and fewer wars in recent years, Wen Zhong still needs to interact more with Zhong Shan and find ways to attract more of Zhong Shan's disciples to work in our Da Shang.

but……

Wen Zhong was a little discouraged for a moment because Zhong Su currently had few disciples.

This is very uncomfortable.

While Wen Zhong was daydreaming, Zhong Su and his group, led by Kong Xuan, knocked on the door of Emperor Yi's bedroom.

After a moment, the door slowly opened, and the dim light suddenly came into Zhong Su's sight.

Seeing Zhong Su coming, Emperor Yi climbed up from the bed and slowly put on his clothes with the help of his servants.

Then, Di Yi slowly stood up and greeted Zhong Su with a wry smile.

"Haha, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still so young. I really envy you!"

"Brother!"

Hearing Di Yi's polite words, Zhong Su's eyes became hot. He quickly stepped forward, held Di Yi's arm, and helped Di Yi to kneel down on the cushion.

When Emperor Yi sat down, he fell weakly in Zhong Su's arms. He held Zhong Su's arm tightly and tried his best to sit up straighter.

Then he gave Zhong Su a slightly trembling smile.

"Haha, don't act like a child, I'm just going to see my father and ancestors!
On this trip, not only can I meet my father and ancestors, but I can also meet a group of kings from the previous dynasty of Daxia, haha!

In recent days, I have occasionally dreamed that my father told me to set off quickly because he was almost unable to scold those human emperors of Daxia.

I also heard from my father that in their Huoyun Cave, in the war of words between our Great Shang and their Great Xia, it was actually my brutal grandfather Wu Yi who was the most combative.

My father said that my grandfather was as good as three others in scolding, and he almost made the Emperor of Daxia vomit blood in anger.

Look, haha, the days in Huoyun Cave are so wonderful. I am clearly going to leave behind this mess that makes me tired, and go to Huoyun Cave to enjoy a peaceful life!

Such a good thing, please don't ruin my mood and don't act like a child here.

My father has only been in power for a few years, but I have been on the throne for more than twice as long as my father. I am already content!

Come on, come on, someone, bring some wine, bring some wine!
Screw the medical officer, no one is qualified to cure the emperor’s illness. My life is in my own hands, and it is above the fate of my ancestor Cheng Tang and the human race!
If a bowl of wine can kill me, it is not that I died from drinking, but that it is my destiny!

Today, it is a rare occasion for me to meet A Su again. On such a good day, how can I not drink?
Bring some wine!!!"

Suddenly, Emperor Yi burst into extreme enthusiasm, and his orders made the servants around him act quickly.

While the servants were fetching wine and setting up the banquet, Emperor Yi looked around unhappily and continued to give orders to his servants.

"And all around, go open all those windows.

Keeping the windows closed all day long, what a bullshit tradition! I’m not even dead yet, how can I not even see the sun?
I want to feel the wind, I want to bask in the sun, I also want to look again at my Great Shang Empire, and even more so at my achievements in the past twenty-six years since I ascended the throne!

Come, A Su, come and see my achievements!
Look, in these twenty-six years, I have quadrupled the population of the Shang Dynasty.

Look, in these twenty-six years, I have completely destroyed Meng Fang, the enemy of the Shang Dynasty.

Look, in these twenty-six years, I have accumulated enough food and supplies to feed a million soldiers and horses for more than five years.

Ah Su, I have endured the increasingly severe drought, but have ensured that more and more big merchants like those in my father’s and grandfather’s generation have enough food and clothing.

My Great Shang was never invaded by foreign races, and the princes within the Great Shang were unable to launch any successful rebellion during my time.

Although I still feel that this achievement is not enough, I still want to do more and I should be able to do more!
But no matter what, with my current achievements, I won’t be scolded by my ancestors when I go to the Fire Cloud Cave, haha!!!"

Amidst loud laughter, Di Yi put his arms around Zhong Su's shoulders and hung limply on him.

Supporting the weak Emperor Yi, Zhong Su patted Emperor Yi's descendants, nodded continuously and spoke.

"Brother, you have done a great job. You are a qualified emperor. Even Fuxi, Shennong and Xuanyuan would not deny this. And my ancestors of the Great Shang Dynasty would be proud of you."

"Of course, of course, I have done nothing wrong to the Shang Dynasty. I have done the best I can!

I just don't know whether my son... can inherit my ambition!

This kid Zishou has become more and more arrogant recently. I am really worried about him.

So, Bi Gan is my brother..."

Emperor Yi suddenly turned to Bigan, and saw him hesitantly asking in a low voice.

"Tell me, my eldest son Ziqi, will he be a more qualified emperor than Zishou?"
