I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

It’s just on the wall of the royal city tower on one side of the academy.

"Master, the talisman that the Qin prince Ying Zichu used just now was a legitimate one, right?"

A young man in a green robe, holding a sword in both hands, looked at the mansion where Ying Zichu was.

He frowned, a puzzled look on his face, and asked the purple-robed old man with white hair and beard beside him, "Ever since Emperor Zhuanxu severed the connection between the earth and the sky, the connection between the human world and the heaven and the underworld has been cut off, and the immortals and gods have not appeared in the world!"

"After the Conferred God Battle, all the immortals and gods went to heaven one after another, or their souls flew away and disappeared into thin air!"

"The four continents are also guarded by the gods of heaven, who strictly control their entry and exit. The heavens also do not allow gods to come to the mortal world and have too much contact with mortals."

"Nowadays, there are only some immortals or practitioners in the mortal world..."

"How come the princes of the human world still come into contact with things of immortals and gods..."

He saw it clearly and truly felt that the aura carried by the talisman was extraordinary!

It has a fairy-like air!

It is far beyond the ability of ordinary practitioners to create...

The purple-robed old man stared at the mansion where Ying Zichu was, frowning, with a puzzled look on his face. He stroked his long beard and muttered to himself: "The emperor of the human race is not allowed to practice cultivation and cannot live forever!"

"This has been an iron rule since the fall of the Shang Dynasty and the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty!"

“Therefore, very few immortals, gods, or practitioners come into contact with human emperors.”

"At most, they need to borrow the luck of the human race. When practicing with the aura of the emperor, they come to help the emperor of the human world govern the world, and they are not allowed to use extraordinary powers, for fear of being entangled in cause and effect."

"Only those who are unorthodox and ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth dare to violate this law."

"He even tricked the princes into seeking immortality and Taoism, and used deception to gain a large amount of manpower and resources to search for natural treasures and practice!"

“But they don’t know that such methods are only temporarily helpful for cultivation. In the future, they will be backfired, and they will fall under the heavenly calamity and turn into ashes under the entanglement of cause and effect!”

"Now, someone actually dares to contact the emperor of the human world. I don't know what he has done and whether he has taught me the cultivation method..."

"But it's just a gift of the talisman. If you cause any trouble, you will not be able to have a good life in the future even if you don't die!"

"That immortal god in the dark has really lost his mind..."

Let me stop here.

He sighed and shook his head.

The man in green at the side heard this and his originally eager idea of ​​following the princes and nobles, learning the magic, obtaining the position of the state teacher, and borrowing the luck of a country was once again dispelled.

"Master will not deceive me. It is better for me to stay by his side and train soldiers for King Zhao."

“Although the luck gained this way is too little, as long as I don’t use my extraordinary power, I won’t be entangled in cause and effect, and I can get away in time without any danger…”

The old man in purple observed the man in green and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the color disappear from his apprentice's eyes.

The world is not as simple as it seems!
The throne of the human race is lost, and the emperor is not allowed to practice...

There are so many things going on, and they are of great importance.

It's not something they can interfere with.

If you are not careful, you will be entangled in the great cause and effect, and turned into ashes in the disaster!

By then, not to mention the soul, even the true spirit may be difficult to preserve...

the next period of time.

Ying Zichu's daily life in Zhao State.

But he went in and out alone, and was always looked down upon by the children of nobles, and no one dared to approach him.

after all.

A Qin hostage!
He is still an unfavored prince.

And he offended his own Crown Prince of Zhao.

Whether or not I can return alive is a question...

The fact that Prince Dan brought a group of younger brothers to bully and suppress Ying Zichu, and was seriously injured and fell to the ground after his shrimp thread was picked was not glorious. It was concealed and not revealed.

All people knew was that Prince Dan was unhappy with him, so they all stayed away from him.

Ying Zichu didn't mind being isolated, he was just being ostracized in Zhao State alone, without a friend, and felt very lonely.

Often get drunk in restaurants, linger in brothels surrounded by red powder and rouge...

In the brothel.

"Prince Qin?!"

A young man dressed in brocade and with a shrewd look noticed Ying Zichu.

Seeing him often come to the brothel alone to play, but without even a single friend, I felt something in my heart.

Such a big shot!
Even if he is just an unpopular prince, he is still much nobler than me who comes from a merchant family!
If we can get close and become friends...

Although the prince of Qin is in a difficult situation now, there is no guarantee that he will not be able to escape one day in the future!
Moreover, Ying Zichu had no relatives or friends around him at this time. As the saying goes, it is easy to add flowers to the icing on the cake, but difficult to provide timely assistance!
As long as you try your best to make friends with him, he will remember you for the rest of his life!

"Just think of it as a business investment..."

The man in brocade clothes gritted his teeth, became ruthless, and made a decision immediately.

Even if doing so would offend the Crown Prince of Zhao and those nobles.

The benefits are huge, enough to take risks...

The man in brocade clothes took a deep look at Ying Zichu, then walked forward with the running water, a warm smile on his face, and bowed, saying, "I have heard for a long time that the prince of Qin is visiting my Zhao State. Now I see that the prince is handsome and has a noble bearing. He is indeed an extraordinary person!"

"I feel like I've known you for a long time, Sir. I wonder if I could offer you a glass of wine!"

He exchanged the proton for a guest, and started boasting and showing goodwill again.

Ying Zichu was stunned and really didn't know what to do.

I have been in Zhao State for so long, but I have never seen anyone treat me well!
I didn't expect to meet someone who is so respectful to me...

react.

"Can!"

Ying Zichu raised his cup and smiled, saying, "I don't know who you are, but don't you know the situation of my son in your country of Zhao, where the nobles dislike him? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

The man in brocade clothes clinked his glasses and drank them all. He sat aside and said with a smile, "I am Lu Buwei, a small businessman. I don't think those big shots will care about me."

"Besides, you and I hit it off right away, as if we've been friends for decades. If I give up on my good friend just because I'm afraid of the powerful, wouldn't that be cowardly?"

Hear the words.

puff!

Ying Zichu was amused.

However, he did not expect that Lu Buwei was so thick-skinned that he actually said that he regarded him as an old friend of decades.

I am only eighteen years old now, not yet twenty years old!
but……

The other party is good at talking.

Ying Zichu liked it very much after hearing it.

"Bu Wei, it's a good name..."

He nodded, looked at Lü Buwei and said with a smile: "The Lü family originated from Jiang Taigong. Your ancestors were extraordinary. How did you end up being a businessman today?"

"Ugh!"

Lü Buwei sighed, his face showing misery, and said: "The Tian family replaced Qi and encroached upon the foundation of my Qi State, which was created by the Jiang family."

"Even the orthodoxy of the current royal family has declined because of this. Moreover, although I am of royal blood, I have been separated from the main clan for hundreds of years and have long lost my dignity..."

Speaking of which.

Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Sadly!
Royal blood.

And he is a descendant of Jiang Ziya, the national master of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now he has fallen to become a businessman!
It is truly an insult to our bloodline.

Even though the Lu family was very wealthy through business, they lived a life of luxury...

But in this era, being a businessman is an extremely lowly profession!

Even if you meet a small noble, you must bow humbly.

Spurned by the world...

and so.

Lu Buwei was determined to invest in Ying Zichu.

If you follow the princes and sons of the feudal lords, you can at least get a position of power in the future...

Although the Lu family is rich.

But having money without power is not a long-term solution!
If something unexpected happens one day, those high-ranking officials will value your property and plot against you.

Their family simply does not have the ability to protect their vast fortune.

Therefore, the only way is to collude with the powerful and let them become the umbrella of protection for the Lu family.

And it would be best if you become a powerful person yourself!

And now.

this opportunity.

Right before our eyes...

"So that's it!" Ying Zichu nodded.

He deeply agrees.

Although the two have different stories and circumstances.

But they are all poor people who have lost their dignity!

You must know that you are a noble son!

The term "gongzi" in this era specifically refers to men who are descendants of princes and kings.

But just because he is unpopular, he is looked down upon, bullied and suppressed at will!
So he started to like Lü Buwei even more, drinking and dancing together, and even let him come to his mansion to play with him when he was free...

night.

Leave the brothel.

Lu Buwei was in high spirits because of the good news. When he returned home, he could not hide his excitement.

Seeing this, Father Lu asked curiously, "Buwei, what good news has happened to you? Have you negotiated a big deal?"

He knew that his son was very capable.

He has a quick mind, a unique vision, and a sharp tongue, and can turn black into white!
No matter what business it is, once it is handed over to Lü Buwei, it must be done...

"Father, this is a rare commodity!"

Lu Buwei had a look of delight on his face. He pulled his father to sit down, drank several cups of sobering soup served by the servants and said.

"A rare commodity?"

Father Lu showed a puzzled look in his eyes and asked with a smile: "I guess it must be an extraordinary treasure?"

Lu Buwei nodded, with a look of affirmation on his face, and replied, "Of course!"

Father Lu was overjoyed and asked again, "How many times did you gain the profit?"

This time, Lü Buwei smiled but said nothing. He just asked, "How many times can you make from farming?"

Father Lu had been in business all his life and was familiar with all kinds of goods business. He answered without hesitation: "Ten times."

Lü Buwei asked again: "How many times can you make from selling pearls and jade?"

Father Lu still answered very quickly: "A hundred times."

Lü Buwei asked again: "How many times can we gain by establishing a monarch for a country?"

boom!
Father Lu's heart felt like it was exploding with thunder, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

He stared at his son blankly, his expression stunned.

Establish a monarch for a country?

He couldn't even think about it!

How is that possible?

Even if there is interference in the throne, it is only among high-ranking officials and political struggles.

This is definitely not something a merchant family like them can interfere with!
Moreover, political struggles are extremely dangerous and the situation is ever-changing, so it is necessary to grasp people's hearts.

In addition, the most important thing is the general trend!
After all, who doesn’t want to achieve great success and give his wife and children honors?
Even if the Lu family wanted to intervene in this matter, they had no way to do so, and the nobles would not look down on them!

But Father Lu came to his senses.

Regarding the issue of Lu Buwei.

He pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and replied in a serious tone, "Countless!"

A meritorious official who followed the emperor, his wife and son were given titles, and the title was passed down from generation to generation. He had a noble status and held power...

Have a dream at night and it will come true tomorrow!
What kind of businessman is this? He is so weak!

For example, the competitors of the Lu family.

If they had power now, they would be able to come up with countless ways to punish those people and embezzle their property...

Lu Buwei nodded, confirming his father's answer, and said seriously: "Nowadays, although I work hard in business, I can have enough food and clothing, but merchants are of humble status. I have to be careful when facing the powerful and wealthy, and I need to manage relationships every year."

"If you support a king and establish a country, you can benefit future generations, and from then on, generations will be honored, prosperous and wealthy, and enjoy endless enjoyment!"

"I decided to go for this deal..."

After listening to his eldest son talking for such a long time, Father Lu frowned as he still didn't know what had happened.

He subconsciously advised: "Do you want to be loyal to Prince Dan? But he is already the prince and does not need anyone's support."

"And your position is stable. If you support others, I'm afraid..."

I’m afraid that the entire Lu family will be executed!
clinker.

Upon hearing this, Lu Buwei sneered.

"Ah!"

"Father, I know that Prince Dan does not need support and his position is stable."

Father Lu was surprised.

"then you?"

"The person I want to invest in is the prince of Qin, Ying Yiren, who is now held hostage in Zhao!"

"A rare commodity is worth a lot of money, that's him!"

"I want to help him return to Qin and fight for the position of Crown Prince!"

"But he is not favored?"

"This is not difficult. I heard that Lord An Guojun's favorite concubine, Lady Huayang, has no children. We can think of a way to please Lady Huayang and adopt Ying Yiren!"

"In this way, Lord An will love the whole family and make Ying Yiren's son noble because of his mother!"

"But Madam Huayang, how could she accept him so easily?"

"She has no children. How can she maintain her status after An Guojun dies without a son?"

"So, she must be in desperate need of a son!"

"If there is a need, Ying Yiren can take this opportunity..."

Lu Buwei had thought about it long ago, and answered his father's question very calmly.

Hear the words.

Father Lu's eyes moved quickly, and he kept thinking in his mind.

indeed.

An Guojun was the crown prince.

Although I have a child.

However, the most favored concubine, Lady Huayang, had no children.

In the future, when An Guojun inherits the throne, he will definitely appoint a crown prince.

After his death, the prince ascended to the throne.

Can Madam Huayang still maintain her current noble status?

She could only have a son.

But now it has been several years and there is no movement in the stomach. I think Madam Huayang is getting anxious.

If I could adopt a son, this problem could be solved well...

"In that case, then just go ahead and do it."

Father Lu said nothing more and agreed.

Although this is risky.

But the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish!

For the sake of profit, you can take a risk...

Xiniu Hezhou.

Fangcun Mountain, Sanxing Cave.

Jiang Wang once again exchanged ideas with Master Subhuti and gained a lot.

At the same time, under his personal observation.

I was really amazed by the talent of the clever stone monkey Sun Wukong.

In just a few months, Sun Wukong broke through two major realms in succession.

Step into the realm of refining emptiness and merging the Dao!

Just one step away from overcoming the calamity and becoming an immortal.

What rapid progress!
Jiang Wang had never seen a talented person grow so quickly.

Let alone a genius, perhaps only the title of peerless evildoer can be worthy of him...

"In the previous Blue Star novel, Sun Wukong stayed in Huaguo Mountain for more than a hundred years before he remembered to seek immortality and learn the way. He traveled for more than ten years before he came to Xiniu Hezhou and found the ancestor Subhuti."

"I practiced in Fangcun Mountain for seven years. After receiving the true teachings, I practiced for another three years and was taught the Seventy-two Transformations and Jintou Cloud. In the end, I was expelled for showing off my skills."

"It took only about eleven years before he reached the level of a Golden Immortal."

This speed is even more outrageous than Jiang Wang’s cheating speed.

Therefore, looking at Sun Wukong who was practicing in the mountains, he was full of envy. (End of this chapter)
