Honghuang: Senior Brother of the Chan Sect, I am Guangchengzi

Chapter 280 Ji Chang rescues Daji

When these two met for the first time, it was like a bolt from the blue, and they were hooked.

Axes flew and pestles were raised as the two beasts met each other. A great battle was about to break out. Two groups of people beat drums and waved flags to cheer for their generals. Colorful flags danced in the sky, like five-colored dragons dancing and waving non-stop.

This one has a rage like thunder and blazing fire, the other has a temper from birth; his face is like the bottom of a pot and his beard is red, while mine is like a purple date with a red belly.

It was just like slaying a dragon in the Penglai Sea and killing a tiger in front of the Wanren Mountain; one became a disciple of Master Kunlun, and the other became a disciple of Master Tongtian.

The two men each used all kinds of martial arts, and the two golden-eyed beasts under them were howling and roaring at each other. After only twenty or thirty rounds of fighting, the killing was so fierce that red clouds were cast and white mist was everywhere.

But they were evenly matched in chess and talent. Each of them had wounds on their bodies and marks on their faces. Although they were all out of breath, their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at each other.

It was obvious that they acknowledged each other's martial arts and stopped provoking each other. This was a sign of respect for each other.

However, when Zheng Lun saw the purple-red gourd on Chong Heihu's waist, he thought to himself, "The commander once said that this man had received special skills from a strange man in the wilderness. I'm afraid that gourd is the source of his magic. As the saying goes, 'If you hit someone, hit him in the face first; if you insult someone, insult their mother first.' Instead of fighting him in a painless battle, it's better to smash his gourd first and strike first!"

Su Hu only knew that Chong Heihu had once worshipped a strange man in the wilderness and learned magic from him, but he did not know that Zheng Lun also worshipped a man as his master, and that the man was of no small importance, namely, Du'e Zhenren who practiced in West Kunlun.

This True Man Du'e is not some unknown person. He is a powerful male immortal who belonged to the East Palace when the Immortal Court was destroyed in the past. His cultivation had long reached the Hunyuan realm.

Even so, compared with the Lich and the Undead races, he, a great Hunyuan master, is really nothing. Fortunately, the leaders of the two races have their own plans in mind and did not think too much about it.

Therefore, apart from killing one or two powerful immortals who were unwilling to retreat, no one pursued too much against him, a great god who retreated first.

So after being worried for a while, Master Du'e gradually calmed down. Later, relying on his convenient identity, he quietly slipped into West Kunlun to practice.

As the saying goes, it is good to lean on a big tree for shade. Yuanshi Tianzun was proud of his status. After the three brothers became saints, East Kunlun absorbed most of the essence of Kunlun under the self-consumption of their status.

Today, the fate of the Eastern main vein left in West Kunlun is almost nil, so Yuanshi Tianzun is naturally too lazy to bring West Kunlun under the rule of the Chan sect.

In addition, West Kunlun was once the dojo of the Queen Mother of the West. Yuanshi Tianzun was unwilling to ruin his own reputation for the sake of West Kunlun, so he allowed West Kunlun to continue to be located above East Kunlun.

True Man Du'e seized this opportunity and immediately went into West Kunlun to practice.

With the protection of Yuanshi Tianzun's remaining power, the gods who placed their hopes on him naturally did not dare to do anything to him, which also made him feel a little worried.

The cause of the Conferred God Tribulation is probably known to everyone in the entire prehistoric world who has a little bit of cultivation, and naturally they also understand the conflict between the Chan and Jie churches.

It was obvious that the Great Shang was controlled by the Jiejiao, and the Twelve Immortals of the Chenjiao naturally wanted to destroy the Great Shang. It was precisely because Master Du'e saw this that he made a move in advance, which was considered a casual move.

And this son was Zheng Lun.

In the vision of Master Du'e, Zheng Lun can be said to be able to attack or defend. If he sees that the situation is not good, he can immediately join either side.

After Su Hu rebelled against Shang, Master Du'e was also very hesitant. After all, this was the time to make a decision.

If he let Zheng Lun help Su Hu, it would be equivalent to joining the Chan sect; and if he let Zheng Lun kill Su Hu, it would be equivalent to joining the Jie sect.

He did not have too many thoughts of jumping back and forth. Firstly, this would be an humiliation to the wisdom of the immortals and gods of the two sects, the orthodox and the spiritual.

Secondly, the saints behind the Chan and Jie sects would not allow this little bug to show off behind their backs.

If he danced too happily, Yuanshi Tianzun might not even have to do anything himself. Just a word or two from Yuanshi Tianzun would allow Guangchengzi to beat him to death.

So after much deliberation, Master Du'e decided to let Zheng Lunxiang help Su Hu rebel against the Shang Dynasty in order to join the Chan Sect.

After all, he has regarded West Kunlun as his own land, and next to West Kunlun is East Kunlun, and Yuanshi Tianzun is sitting in the Yuxu Palace.

If he dared to help the Shang Dynasty under the nose of Yuanshi Tianzun, he would be like an old man eating arsenic and would be tired of living.

So in order to show his attitude, he also specially taught Zheng Lun some Taoist methods, which were specifically used to restrain the black tiger.

Standing on West Kunlun Mountain, Master Du'e looked out at the battlefield from afar. Although the catastrophe had begun, it had not yet reached its climax. So even though the secrets of heaven were obscured, Master Du'e could still barely see the battlefield.

"My disciple, please don't let me down."

After all, Zheng Lun had been taught by Master Du'e for many years, and was much more powerful than Chong Heihu, who was given supernatural powers by some strange man in the wilderness.

At this moment, he threw the demon-subduing pestle in his hand into the sky, and the three thousand crow soldiers behind him immediately shouted and started walking around.

The movement was like a long snake swallowing water, with everyone holding a hook and dragging an iron chain, and running like flying clouds and lightning. Chong Heihu knew at a glance that they wanted to capture him alive.

But when three thousand people attacked together, he knew he could not resist at once. When he was about to let the Flying Tiger soldiers take action, he saw a loud sound coming out of Zheng Lun's nose, the sound was like a bell, and two white lights shot out from that nose.

The two white lights seemed to carry a strange power. Chong Heihu didn't see it with his own eyes. Just by hearing the two bells, he felt dizzy and even his soul was about to leave his body. Just like Su Quanzhong before, he fell down.

Just as he fell to the ground, the Crow Soldiers surrounded him, captured him alive, and tied his arms. Chong Heihu knew nothing about this and did not wake up until half a day later.

He instinctively wanted to resist, but he couldn't move. He looked carefully and found that he had been tied up. He was immediately angry and said, "You thief, what a wicked method you have. You captured me without knowing the reason. You are really amazing!"

Zheng Lun laughed and said, "A famous teacher on the island teaches the secrets, and a brave hero should be rare in the world; 100,000 divine eagles are completely useless, which shows that a man's words are unshakable!"

Chong Heihu was speechless for a moment and had to be captured by these crow soldiers and taken into Jizhou city.

The Flying Tiger soldiers brought by Chong Heihu also saw their general being captured. They were thrown into disarray for a moment and didn't know what to do. They had to return to the rear camp to report to Chong Houhu.

At this time, Su Hu was sitting in the hall, confused and wondering whether he should commit suicide with a knife or cut his wrists.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of victory drums outside the city. He couldn't help but sigh, "Zheng Lun is dead!" Just as he was feeling sad, a spy came in with a report, "My lord, Zheng Lun has captured Chong Heihu alive, and is now asking for your order!"

When Su Hu heard this, he stood up in shock, but he didn't know why. He thought to himself, "Although Zheng Lun is quite brave, he is probably not as good as Chong Heihu. How did he capture him?"

Then he actively passed down the order, asking Zheng Lun to bring Chong Heihu forward to see it quickly.

When Zheng Lun arrived in front of the palace, he told the story of how Chong Heihu was captured. Then many soldiers brought Chong Heihu to the front of the palace.

Seeing the many injuries on Chong Heihu's body, Su Hu did not feel happy at all. Instead, he was extremely anxious. He immediately dismissed his attendants and stepped forward himself to untie the ropes on Chong Heihu's body.

Ignoring Zheng Lun's surprised face, Su Hu knelt down in front of Chong Heihu, prostrated himself, and kowtowed, saying: "Su Hu has offended the world and is a shameless minister. Zhen Lun is ignorant of worldly affairs and has violated the rules of heaven. As the commander, I should die to forgive his crime!"

After Chong Heihu was freed, his face lost its previous arrogance. Instead, he personally reached out his hand to help him up, shook his head and sighed, "Brother, we are sworn brothers, I dare not forget my loyalty!
"I was captured by your subordinates today, and I am afraid I am ashamed. I am grateful to you for your kindness and for not having any grudges against me. Black Tiger is very grateful!"

Su Hu, with tears in his eyes, invited Chong Heihu to take a seat, and ordered Zheng Lun and other soldiers to come to see him. He said to them: "I am a good friend of the Caozhou princes. Although Quanzhong was captured, he is safe under the protection of Heihu. You must not be rude to him. Otherwise, it will be an offense to me!"

After hearing this, all the generals bowed down hastily, and Chong Heihu said with a smile: "General Zheng's Taoism is extraordinary. I am convinced that he was captured today."

Afterwards, Su Hu also held a banquet again and expressed his grievances. Chong Heihu said, "I came here today to atone for my elder brother's failure and to absolve him of his guilt.

The second reason is to help my brother out of trouble.

Your son is young, but he is already a general genius, but he is too arrogant and stubborn, and refused to ask you for your advice, so I caught him in the rear camp. I had no choice but to do this. "

After hearing this, Su Hu thanked him repeatedly and said, "I will never forget this kindness and love."

The two men held a banquet in the city, drinking and chatting happily with each other, but they didn't know that Chonghouhu was so anxious that he almost wanted to mobilize the entire army to fight a life-and-death battle with Jizhou City.

Just as he was furious, a spy came in and reported: "General, the King of Xibo sent someone here."

Chonghouhu was unhappy at this time, so he said impatiently: "Call him over!"

When this person came, Chonghouhu took a closer look and found that it was San Yisheng, the senior doctor of Xiqi. The anger in his heart became even more intense, just like adding a lot of firewood!

It’s because although San Yisheng is a senior official, he is a civil servant, and now he is attacking Jizhou City.

It would have been fine if King Ji Chang of Xibo didn't come in person, but he didn't send a military officer but a civil official instead. He was trying to fool him on purpose!
Chonghouhu said with a hint of anger: "San Yisheng, why does your lord have a little peace in the dark, but does not know how to serve the country and just sits aside and does not do anything? Is it because he is dissatisfied and deliberately disobeys the will of the court, and wants to learn from Su Hu?"

There was a reason why San Yisheng was sent here by Ji Chang. He remained calm in the face of danger and said calmly: "My lord once said: 'Weapons are dangerous tools and should not be used unless absolutely necessary'.

Now, just because of a small matter, we have to waste people's money and time, and panic thousands of households. We also have to mobilize money and food in the prefectures and counties we pass through, and travel a long distance. It is really a worry of harassing the people and a hardship for the emperor and the generals.

So the lord ordered me to issue a document, hoping to stop the war. If Su Hu is willing to trap Daji in the palace, it would be better for the two princes to stop fighting. In this way, the relationship between the monarch and his subjects would not be lost.

And if Su Hu disobeys, the lord also said that he would personally lead the army to punish the traitors and eliminate the evil, and that his entire clan should be exterminated for this crime. If he really comes, I am afraid that Su Hu will die without regrets. "

Chonghouhu was not satisfied with this argument of "first courtesy and then force". He laughed in anger and said, "Ji Chang knew that he was trying to avoid the court, so he used such words to explain himself!

I came here first, lost many soldiers and generals, fought several fierce battles, and almost lost my life here. Now my own brother has been captured alive. I am afraid that the thief is too proud and will not give up his daughter just for a piece of paper.

If Su Hu was willing to bow his head, I wouldn't have come here. You go to Jizhou to see Su Hu. If Su Hu is unwilling, I will see how your lord responds. Go quickly!"

Chonghouhu was furious at this moment, and immediately ordered San Yisheng to go to Jizhou and make Shu Suhu bow his head.

San Yisheng was quite loyal, and just as Chong Houhu said, he immediately rode a tall horse to the city of Jizhou and knocked on the gate.

"The soldiers on the city wall, quickly tell your master that the Marquis of Xibo has sent an official to deliver the letter!"

The soldier on the city wall was about to throw down the log, but when he heard this, he did not dare to act on his own and hurried to report to the palace, shouting, "Sir, the Marquis of Xibo sent an official to report to you, saying that he wants to submit a letter!"

Su Hu was drinking and singing with Chong Heihu at this time. When they heard this, they looked at each other, but they both noticed the other's unusual behavior.

After all, Ji Chang had a reputation for virtue and outstanding writing, so naturally he was willing to talk to him.

Su Hu ordered his men to open the city gate and invite San Yisheng to the palace.

San Yisheng entered the hall and without further elaboration, presented Ji Chang's document.

Su Hu took the book and read it, and found that most of the words on it were of various kinds, but there was only one meaning, that is, when the emperor is choosing a concubine, no family of nobles, scholars or common people is allowed to hide women.

Now you have a daughter who is both virtuous and kind. It would be great if the emperor chose her to enter the palace. But you dared to resist the emperor. What do you want to do?
Su Hu remained silent for a long time after watching this. Finally, San Yisheng struck while the iron was hot. Chong Heihu also felt that sacrificing Daji was a good idea in order to save the entire city of Jizhou.

In the end, Su Hu nodded and agreed to put Daji into the tide of song.

After Su Hu stamped the document with his seal, San Yisheng mounted his horse with the book and headed straight for Xiqi.

When Chong Houhu saw the sadness on Su Hu's face, he stepped forward to comfort him, saying, "Brother, you have always been kind-hearted and you are willing to send your beloved daughter to Chaoge. However, I am afraid something might happen later. I will go back and let your son return to the city, so that I can comfort you and your wife a little."

Su Hu nodded heavily. He had already lost a daughter and could not lose a son.

Afterwards, Su Hu personally escorted Chong Heihu back to the city. Chong Heihu also put on his own blue-eyed golden hand and headed straight into Beibo's army.

Chonghouhu saw San Yisheng riding back to Xiqi, and for a moment he didn't know what his plan was. Just when he was anxious, he heard someone report: "Master, the second master has returned to the city!"

Chong Houhu was overjoyed upon hearing this, and also knew Su Hu's plan. He couldn't help but secretly hate this man for being so hypocritical. If he had been willing to give up his daughter earlier, there would not have been such a big dispute!
