My Immortal Brother-in-law

Chapter 2: Demon General

At the same time, in the Shang King's Palace.

Tai Ding threw the bamboo slips in his hand, and they hit the chimes in the distance, interrupting the rhythm of the music.

Just like that, after chopping off the heads of four people from Yuefu, Tai Ding finally calmed down and was in the mood to take a look at the three dukes and his sons who were kneeling below.

"Zixian!"

As he watched, Tai Ding suddenly spoke.

"I want to summon Zhong Su, so I can just ask the doctor to go and summon him, why does Zi Gan insist on going in person?

Zi Gan, do you think that I will definitely kill Zhong Su?

Or maybe it’s not just Zigan, but you, Zixian, think the same way too! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Tai Ding slammed the table to pieces.

As the fragments flew, Tai Ding suddenly stood up and said hatefully.

"I am indeed angry, but not at the Grand Tutor. The Grand Tutor died on the battlefield and was a true hero. It's just that Gui Rong was cunning.

What makes me angry is that Jili is suppressing the Guifang tribe again, and then he comes to show off in front of me!"

Just as Tai Ding was saying this, Bigan happened to bring Zhong Su into the palace.

Hearing the King of Shang calling out "Ji Li, little bastard" from afar, Zhong Su couldn't help but shrink his neck even though he had prepared himself mentally.

Who is Ji Li?

It is the current King of Zhou.

Bo, Zhong, Shu and Ji, Ji Li was the youngest son of the previous King of Zhou.

Since the Shang Dynasty had always followed the tradition of enthroning the eldest son as the heir after King Pan Geng, the fact that King Ji of Zhou had a youngest son sitting on the throne became a laughing stock in the eyes of the Shang people.

Bigan was also a little frightened by the roar, so he coughed lightly to build up his courage, then patted Zhong Su's arm and smiled bitterly.

"Look, my father is not angry with the Grand Tutor, so A Su can rest assured.

Ahem, don't look at the dragon horse over there. After you get through today, I'll give you a mount."

As he spoke, the guard had already given his consent and asked everyone in the hall to look outside.

Facing the sunlight that was faintly filled with fairy light, Bigan walked in with his head held high, pulling Zhong Su, who was lowering his head.

After seeing Zhong Su, two streams of white air came out of Tai Ding's nose.

He said he was not angry, but how could he not be angry? His Grand Tutor Zhong had destroyed all the food and fodder he had accumulated for nine years in just one battle!
His father, Wu Yi, was a prodigal son who left him nothing. During the years since he ascended the throne, he lived frugally just to win a few battles to put pressure on the princes.

As a result, this battle caused Da Shang to suffer from high blood pressure!

So infuriating!
But what can I do if I’m angry? Should I vent my anger on Zhong Suli?

Tai Ding shook his head. He had vowed not to be a tyrant like his father Wu Yi. He would not disappoint his subjects at this time.

Then Tai Ding raised his head and gave Zhong Su a familiar smile.

"Come here, please take a seat. Has Ah Su had his meal today?"

"Your Majesty, I have had the vegetarian soup."

Zhong Su put his hands together in salute, and then planned to kneel down next to Bigan.

On the left and right sides of the King of Shang, the person closest to him was naturally the eldest prince Zixian, followed by the prime minister and the senior doctor. Apart from Bigan, the person closest to where Zhong Su was sitting was Wen Zhong, the current Sino-Cambodian doctor of the Shang Dynasty.

Wen Zhong was very easy to recognize. Not to mention his thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looked very upright.

Just based on the third eye on his forehead, it was impossible for Zhong Su to make a mistake.

But while Zhong Su was observing Wen Zhong, Wen Zhong actually grabbed his arm the moment Zhong Su sat down.

While enduring the pain of his arm being grabbed, Zhong Su listened to Zhong speaking to him word by word.

"Brother, you look so haggard, I feel so distressed!

It was my second brother who came back late and was unable to catch up with the Grand Master's Western Expedition. It was really hard for my brother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Zhong burst into tears.

Hearing Wen Zhong's crying, Tai Ding at the top couldn't help but sigh.

In the Shang Dynasty, those who could enter the palace were all relatives.

Zhong Jue had always had a good relationship with Tai Ding's father and Tai Ding. Zhong Su also had a close relationship with Tai Ding's son and young people like Shang Rong and Wen Zhong.

Therefore, Tai Ding certainly would not kill the son of the Grand Tutor to vent his anger. Not only could he not kill him, he also wanted to give him an appropriate reward.

Only in this way can the Shang army not be afraid of failure, and those who dare to fight will be rewarded, and the Shang people will become more warlike.

At least that's what Tai Ding thought. So Wen Ding simply stood up and walked towards Zhong Su.

"Wen Zhong, how disgraceful it is for a man to cry and whine!
There is no shortage of weeping musicians in my palace, but what I want is a good general who can wield a whip and fight for me against the barbarians!
Look at you like this, how dare I employ you!"

First he reprimanded the crying Wen Zhong, then Wen Ding came to Zhong Su and picked him up like a chick.

"Zhong Su, it was my order that caused the Grand Master to be trapped in the southwest. Do you hate me?"

"I only regret that I cannot personally slaughter the Western Barbarians, enhance the prestige of the Shang Dynasty, and avenge my father!"

In response to Wen Ding's question, Zhong Su chose a conventional answer.

Hearing this answer, Wen Ding shook his head slightly and smiled.

"The Guifang barbarians are not worth worrying about. The revenge of the Grand Master will not be avenged.

However, the Grand Tutor left in a hurry, and the fiefdom he was in has no ruler yet, so you have to shoulder the responsibility. It’s time for you to grow up.

How about this: I will cut off another twenty miles of land around Zhong County and include Zhongshan Mountain in it, and make it your fiefdom.

From now on, A Su can be called the Lord of Zhongshan. When you have settled your fiefdom and provided me with enough money and food, I will send Wen Zhong to the west to conquer Guifang to avenge your father!"

Having said that, Tai Ding glanced around expressionlessly. Facing his intimidating eyes, Zixian and Bigan, who were about to say something, lowered their heads.

Bigan wanted to say that the Zhongshan area was too close to Xiqi and Nanman, and was a bit dangerous.

But at this time, who would dare to confront my father, especially since my father really rewarded me with land.

Bigan could only support Zhong Su silently in his heart.

As for Zhong Su, he didn't care where he was appointed. Instead, he was a little happy now. After all, not only did he save his life, but he could also stay away from the core of the Shang Dynasty, which was now in danger.

However, is his fiefdom called Zhongshan Kingdom?

He thought that Fenghui was the same as his last name.

Just as Zhong Su lowered his head to think, Wen Zhong wiped the tears from his face, suddenly stood up with the whip in hand.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to wait any longer. Just give me 20,000 elite soldiers and I will defeat part of the Guifang within this year and bring the heads of the barbarians as tribute!
"In the years since I left the capital, I have traveled the wilderness, learned from famous teachers, and learned a lot of skills. If Your Majesty does not believe me, you can send troops to test me. I alone can scare away thousands of troops!"

"it is good!"

After hearing Wen Zhong's words, Tai Ding laughed out loud with satisfaction, then clapped his hands excitedly.

“It’s impressive, but are you sure you can defeat a thousand soldiers?

If you are sure, then give it a try. I will send people to fight immediately!"

"Of course I am sure of it. Your Majesty, just look at my power!"

The young Wen Zhong was full of energy and rushed out of the hall with a whip in his hand. He stood in front of the hall and blew a whistle, and suddenly black smoke rolled out from the distance.

The Shang Palace had no defenses against assassinations of the king, and looking at the billowing smoke, Tai Ding had no grudges and just nodded in appreciation.

"What a handsome black unicorn! It even outshines Master Zhong's former Pixiu!

Come here, tell the central army to dispatch a thousand men, train them with a general, and have them fight my nephew Wen Zhong on the parade ground!
If this battle is won, my nephew will be able to defeat ten thousand enemies, and I will grant him the position of Grand Master, haha!"

With Wen Ding's loud laughter, the royal palace's central army was quickly dispatched, and in a blink of an eye, a thousand men were armed and ready.

In front of the thousand people, a purple-faced man who was four meters tall, holding a sword and an umbrella, stepped out from the crowd and shouted directly at Wen Zhong who was already riding on the black unicorn.

"General Mo Dingguang is here, please teach me!"

"What a mighty man! I, Wen Zhong, will come and fight you!"

Wen Zhong clamped his legs around Qilin and swung the double whips carved with dragon patterns with his hands.

Suddenly, two green dragons, each a hundred feet long, flew out, hovering on both sides of the black unicorn, staring coldly at the little man from the Mo family, who was only four feet long.

At the same time, in the main hall, Bigan and Zixian each took one side of Zhong Su and ran out of the hall.

Zixian laughed as he ran.

“I thought the Mo family generals were already strong enough, but I didn’t know that my second brother actually became a Qigong practitioner!

Look at these two dragon whips, they are much more powerful than the sword that my father gave to Master Chen!"

"Yes!"

Bigan added on the side.

"The Jiaolong is so huge, what about the size of a real dragon?

Ah Su, look, the Mo family general has also shown his true strength, he is using that Hunyuan Pearl Umbrella!

Wait, what's wrong with you, Su?
Bro, stop pulling, A Su has fainted!
Find a healer!"
