Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 68: Life is over
General Zheng Lun broke free from his pursuers and followed the trail left by the Su family father and son.

Seeing the enemy who had annoyed the Shang army for three months surrender, the grain inspector smiled with satisfaction.

Deng Chanyu left quietly without even moving the rope on the ground.

It seems that she is a good person who helps others when she sees injustice.

"My lord, this rope?" Zheng Lun asked meaningfully.

Su Hu survived the disaster and was gasping for breath from exhaustion.

Tuxingsun's death was both a blessing and a curse.

The good thing is that no one is chasing him like a mad dog anymore. If he falls into the hands of other Xiqi generals, he thinks he can survive. But it’s hard to say about Tuxingsun, this guy is a scoundrel.

The bad side was that he could not go to Xiqi in a short time. From his heart, Su Hu admired Ji Chang very much. When the two armies were fighting before, he was mostly just doing his job, but he never expected that he would suffer a devastating defeat in which his entire army was wiped out.

Facing Zheng Lun's question, he calmed down a bit and said, "General Zheng, if it's useful to you, feel free to take it."

Zheng Lun was overjoyed. He had supernatural powers and a mount, but he only lacked a magic weapon. This magic rope would be of great help to him. He could use his supernatural powers to knock out the enemy and then tie them up with the magic rope, or the order could be reversed. This rope was a perfect match for him.

"Thank you, my lord!"

The Su family father and son, together with Zheng Lun, managed to gather more than a thousand defeated soldiers.

This amount of troops is not even enough to fill the gaps in our teeth when we go to attack Xiqi.

Go back to Jizhou directly? King Zhou would order his head to be chopped off in a minute, and it would not be surprising if his entire family was executed.

Now Chonghouhu is in the north. There is no doubt that the other party will collude with Fei Zhong and put the blame for the defeat on Su Hu.

To the west is Xiqi. Su Hu had just killed Tuxingsun, so it was not convenient for him to go there.

Ji Chang’s famous saying is “It doesn’t matter whose xx you are, what matters is who you are.”

Good guy, after hearing this, Chong Heihu didn't even want his own brother, and stabbed Chong Houhu in the back, and was determined to rebel with Ji Chang. Su Hu had sons and daughters, so he was a little afraid of the Great Zhou Succubus.
To the east is the Shang Dynasty, there is no way back.

What to do? The only way is to go south.

Su Hu planned to find a mountain and become its king. He spread rumors that the father and son of the Su family had died in battle, and secretly sent his confidants back to Jizhou to quickly bring out his wife, children and the elderly. In his opinion, family reunion was more important than anything else.

After getting rid of Tuxingsun, Deng Chanyu felt relaxed all over.

One of the two tasks down the mountain has been completed, and the remaining one will have to wait.

She re-established the "Yutai Teahouse" in Chaoge City. She read a lot of books in the Huangdi series and learned medical skills unconsciously. She adjusted the recipe of herbal tea from time to time, trying to find a way to control the plague.

After waiting for more than ten days, there was still no news from Jiang Ziya. She felt bored and thought of Miss Ji, or rather Daji, whose surname was Ji and whose given name was Da, with the surname coming last and the given name coming first. She immediately set off for Jizhou City.

Su Hu was known for his toughness, but he was definitely not a fool. He understood the mentality of King Zhou, Fei Zhong, and Chong Houhu very well.

When the news that the father and son of the Su family had sacrificed their lives for the country reached Chaoge, King Zhou did not pursue the matter of the defeat. Instead, he scolded Fei Zhong who wanted to speak well of Chonghouhu.

King Zhou issued an edict, reprimanding Chonghouhu and ordering him to continue gathering troops and provisions in the north, and then to redeem himself for meritorious service by going to attack Xiqi. Chonghouhu dared not disobey and plundered the north extensively, causing great suffering to the lesser princes.

Staying here means death, going to Xiqi also means death, waiting to die? Forget it, let's go and join Yuan Hong!
Wen Taishi beat Yuan Hong badly, and with the losses from the previous battle, there were only more than fifty of the seventy-two princes left. As a result, Chong Houhu acted perversely, and a large number of people brought their families to join Yuan Hong, and there was a tendency for the number of princes to be totaled to 108.

The north was in chaos. After Ji Fa won the battle, he did not continue the attack but led his army back to Xiqi City.

Bo Yikao died early in his original time and space and did not demonstrate any abilities. In this time and space, he now has a stage to show his talents.

Bo Yikao did an excellent job in many matters, including farming, bridge construction, flood control, official selection, and childbirth encouragement.

Xiqi locked its gates tightly, worked hard to govern the country, accumulated strength, and prepared to defeat the Shang Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Su Hu's men crossed mountains and rivers and quietly returned to Jizhou.

Upon learning that her master had been defeated, Su Hu's wife fainted.

Su Hu's second son, Su Quanxiao, secretly gathered people and prepared to run away with his family!

As a child of troubled times, Daji was also helpless.

Because of her appearance, she had caused a lot of trouble for her family over the years. She lived alone outside the Su Mansion. Looking at the courtyard full of white peonies and white hibiscus flowers, she sighed secretly. It seemed that she would not be able to eat Lengxiang Pills next year. She left Jizhou incognito and didn't know when she would see her good friend Deng Chanyu again.

She and her trusted maid packed up their belongings and piled all the valuables that were inconvenient to carry in the yard, hoping that someone would get them when the time came.

"Miss, are we really going to the south? I heard there are a lot of man-eating barbarians there." The maid Ping'er asked pitifully.

Daji was also very confused, but fortunately she had been to Nandu and knew that it was quite prosperous there and would not be to the point of cannibalism.

"Don't talk nonsense. Miss Deng is from the south. People there are very nice."

After the Su family gathered, they did not run away immediately.

Su Quanxiao had now inherited the title of Marquis of Jizhou. He hadn't suggested that his father and brother should secretly rendezvous at a certain location, then ambush them with archers, shoot them like hedgehogs, and bury them deep underground, leaving no witnesses. Then he could happily return and continue to be the Marquis of Jizhou. People these days were relatively simple, and didn't have the energy to think about such a powerful idea.

He simply objected to the fifty-plus members of his family fleeing Jizhou City all at once. That would make them too conspicuous, and the timing wasn't right. King Zhou certainly didn't have the Imperial Guards, and in a slave society, his control over the locals was weak. But you couldn't treat him as a fool. Just one foot, the Su family's father and son died in battle, and the next, all the family members disappeared? It was too obvious.

Su Quanxiao suggested that the clansmen go out of the city one by one, show up occasionally, and finally create a fire, war or something like that, so that the clansmen would break up and run away separately.

Su Hu's wife and Daji were at a loss, so they immediately followed his method. The family leaders remained in the city, while the marginal figures moved into the farms outside the city. Daji followed the first group of clansmen to move out of the city.

After moving into the farm outside the city, Daji felt dizzy day by day and fell ill in less than two days.

Knowing that her people had to leave their homeland, which was full of troubles, she didn't want to trouble others because of her sick condition, so she gritted her teeth and endured it, but her condition became worse and worse.

On the third night, she suddenly realized that she was about to die.
As the things in front of her eyes became more and more blurry, she felt her body becoming lighter, as if she was about to fly.

"Su Daji, your life in Ruyang is over. Please come with me." The lights in the room went out instantly. The dark room was airtight. An extremely gloomy voice sounded in Daji's ears. She was in a daze and felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know how to resist.
