The blood of the wild river Styx

Chapter 165 is in action
After the incense came down from the Nuwa Temple, King Zhou seemed to be bewitched. He began to indulge in female sex and ignored the government. , a stunning beauty, should match the emperor'.

So King Zhou decreed to order Su Hu to present his daughter to the court song. Su Hu started out, perhaps because he loved his daughter, or because he cared about his reputation, and was afraid of being resolutely resisted by the princes from all walks of life.Soon it was attracted, and the Chaoge army crusaded.

Little Su Hu has no elite soldiers and generals, let alone powerful warriors, how can he defeat Chaoge's army?It is rumored that after only a few days of fighting, he was defeated one after another, and finally sacrificed Daji.

"Om!" That year, that day, on the way to Chaoge City, in a room in the post house, the nine-tailed fox demon seized the opportunity to attack Daji and possess her.

She was born to be charming, and she was ordered by Empress Nuwa to go to Chaoge City to confuse King Zhou. The mission of this visit was to corrupt the government of Yin Shang and destroy the foundation of Yin Shang.

"Hmm! King Zhou actually neglected the queen for Daji's sake, and he hasn't been in court for more than ten days. Here, the demon concubine..." After Daji entered the palace, there was never a day when such remarks were not heard by the officials of Chaoge City. Send out, like hate to the bone.

However, Daji is favored by King Zhou, so no one can do anything to her?Daji is also a nine-tailed fox, originally a monster, and came with a mission, so she is naturally ruthless.

She was restrained at the beginning, but after a long time, she became more and more unbridled. She summoned Fei Zhong and You Hun, and asked them to arrange assassins to assassinate King Zhou. When he was arrested, the confession was sent by Queen Jiang.

"The widow gave you the queen's throne, but you are not satisfied. How can this be reasonable? Order to arrest the queen and hand it over to Daji for interrogation, hum!" King Zhou was furious and ordered the queen to be interrogated.

According to legend, that day in the harem of the Yin and Shang dynasties, Empress Jiang had her hands branded and her eyes gouged out. King Zhou also knew that this was a serious matter, but he acted secretly. However, it was too late. Shang Rong was afraid that Queen Jiang's father, Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu, would rebel, so he could only keep it secret and completely block the news?
"Report! Outside of Kyushu, the Dongyi tribe in Beihai raised troops to rebellion, and the army suppressed the border. Bei Bohou couldn't resist, so he asked Chaoge for help." At this time, there was an urgent report from the border.

"The crusade against the Dongyi people in Beihai requires the old grand master to go out in person, otherwise others may not be able to do it." King Zhou seemed overjoyed, as if he had wanted to send Wen Zhong away a long time ago.

"Yes! The old minister obeyed...!" The barbarians in Beihai were in chaos, so Wen Zhong had no choice but to lead the army. Before leaving, he ordered Wucheng King Huang Feihu to lead troops to guard Chaoge City.

Unexpectedly, just as Wen Zhong left here, Daji in the harem offered advice: "Your Majesty, aren't you worried that Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu will rebel because of Queen Jiang's affairs?
Now this matter was suppressed by the old Prime Minister Shang Rong, and Chaoge was not reported. According to the views of the courtiers and concubines, it is better to summon the four princes to enter Chaoge, and wait for them to come to Chaoge City. Isn't it up to us?Don't be afraid!

At that time, Dong Bohou's subordinates will not dare to act rashly. "

"Hahaha, she really deserves to be my beloved concubine, what a good idea!" King Zhou was overjoyed, and immediately issued an order, saying that the ancestors of Chengtang would be sacrificed, and the four princes would enter the court song.

Since King Zhou became fatuous, the eight hundred princes in the world have sent countless spies to pay attention to Chaoge's movements. Spread the world?

"Huh? What exactly is this foolish lord calling us to do?" In Nandi, in Nanbohou E Chongyu's palace, E Chongyu's face was gloomy for a while, with hesitation in his eyes.

A gentleman does not build a dangerous wall, but if the emperor issued an edict, if he did not go, wouldn't he be regarded as rebellious?So, on the second day, E Chongyu announced his departure for Chaoge in the court hall.

In the capital city of Nanbohou's territory, the Zhong family, the tower in the center of the courtyard, the topmost floor, on this day, when E Chongyu left and went to Chaoge, the Zhong family was within the top floor of the tower on this day. , Zhong Shan was standing at the very front with his hands behind his back.

"Oh, King Zhou has no way. He killed Queen Jiang and was afraid of Jiang Huanchu's rebellion, so he summoned the four princes to enter Chaoge? Although there are some deviations in some places, many things still seem to be developing and changing according to the established track..." Zhong The mountain murmured.

"Father, they are coming soon, we, do we really want to start this plan in advance?" Suddenly, a foster son who seemed to be in his 30s behind him asked excitedly.

"Hmm!" The rest of the dozen or so people standing behind Zhong Shan also narrowed their eyes.

"Since they're here, let them come in." Zhong Shan seemed to answer the wrong question, and one of his adoptive sons retreated respectfully, and not long after, he brought a group of people in.

There were dozens of these people, and they looked either rich or noble. Some wore the clothes of officials and scholar-bureaucrats, obviously they were in court, and some were dressed in gorgeous clothes, like wealthy businessmen.

There are also some adopted sons arranged by Zhong Shan in the early years, and even some are peak fighters who have been funded by Zhong Shan to provide resources for cultivation, each of them is extraordinary.

Any one of them, in the capital city of Nanbohou, has a high status, holds a lot of power, and is usually high above the ground, but here, they look forward and stand with their hands behind their backs, accompanied by a group of adopted sons, Every one of the silent men felt awe from the bottom of their hearts. This man founded the Zhong family in ten years?

This is Zhong Shan, who has single-handedly stirred up the situation in the Southland for more than ten years. Although it seems that he is just a businessman and has no reputation in the court, whether it is an emperor or a prime minister, they have different opinions on him, and some even simply Don't take it seriously?
However, only they know that Zhong Shan's ruthlessness and methods are the ability to turn decay into magic, that is a heinous strategy, and that is the ambition to swallow two hundred princes in one bite.

"Father, everyone in this city is here. The Zhong family branches in various places are in charge, and the children have already been notified. As long as the father is down, it will be opened." Suddenly, when Zhong Shan was pondering, a young man respectfully After bowing, he spoke in a very excited tone.

"Hmm!" At this moment, not only the adoptive sons, but even the dozens of people who came in after him all looked up at Zhong Shan. He was like a mountain.

"This opportunity!" After a long time, Zhong Shan seemed to come back to his senses, and he slowly turned around to look at a middle-aged man, who was one of the managers of the shop, and said in a deep voice: "Zhong Shang, you Immediately implement the first step, secretly driving up food prices?"

"Yes, adoptive father, my child understands." Zhong Shang hurriedly responded respectfully.

"In a very short period of time, the price of grain in the South will rise exponentially. It will be so high that ordinary people cannot afford it, so high that countless people cannot eat food, and so high that the government has to open granaries. However, over the years, there are not many government granaries. Soon, the granary will be empty too.

At that time, according to the plan, the second step will be implemented immediately. In the name of my Zhong's business, I will give porridge to the people. As for the nobles, scholar-officials, and princes, they will buy food, heh.

I want them to take pieces of land in exchange for food! "Zhong Shan ordered in a deep voice.

"Father, but what if all the princes rob him together?" Hearing Zhong Shan's words, everyone's bodies trembled and they took a deep breath. One adopted son worried.

Zhong Shan squinted his eyes, and said coldly: "Oh, rob? Besides our Zhong family, there are other grain merchants who will seize the opportunity to make huge profits and rob a family. Wei, how about it? What's more, I, Zhong Shan, have been deploying in the Southland for more than ten years, and the accumulation of background is not something that can be snatched away by just anyone?"

"But master, why do you give porridge to the common people and slaves for nothing?" Among the dozens of people, one of the dozens of people faced the rough and round warrior, and asked in a rough voice.

"This time, taking advantage of the increase in food prices to enclose land on a large scale will offend the nobles of the [-] vassal states in the South, but I want to firmly grasp the hearts of the people." Zhong Shan said.

"Father, this is what you said, is the popular support available?" a foster son asked.

Zhong Shan nodded, flicked his sleeves, everyone retreated respectfully, and as they retreated, a storm that spread to the two hundred princes in the southern land erupted quietly and swept the world.

Enclosure?Zhong Shan obviously wants to enclose land, but don’t underestimate these two words. This enclave is a bloody word. When the price of food is so high that literati and nobles can’t afford it, ordinary people and slaves can get it. Relief for the Zhong family.

And those nobles, who couldn't afford food, had to go bankrupt and sold everything that could be sold. In the end, they had nothing to sell, so they... began to sell land?

Once this kind of encroachment for profit sets off a trend, and after obtaining the land, Zhong Shan's ten-year preparation and arrangement will explode in one fell swoop. The Zhong family won a lot of popular support.

All kinds of calculations and schemes in it have been spread slowly in Zhong Shan's hands as early as more than ten years ago, and a storm is brewing. At this time, it is time to close the net?
"The matter of enclosing the land is just the beginning!" After everyone retreated, Zhong Shan stood at the highest point of the tower, looking down into the distance, his eyes gradually darkened.

At the same time, when Nanbohou E Chongyu set off for Chaoge, among the other three princes, Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu, because he thought his daughter was the queen, was not too worried, so he brought only a few guards and went straight to Chaoge. Going to Chaoge City, Beibo Hou Chonghou Hu also had to go, but Xibo Hou Jichang, who was procrastinating on the pretext of being ill.

Xiqi, Xibohou's mansion, in a large hall, Ji Chang looked at the hexagrams on the table, his face was gloomy for a while, behind him were several ministers of Xiqi and his two sons.

"Father, how is the hexagram?" the eldest son Bo Yikao asked anxiously.

"Hmm!" This son Ji Fa, San Yifu and other ministers all stared at him.

"Ah! King Zhou has no way. This time he summoned the four princes to go to the court to sing. Most of the fathers are more inauspicious than good. Although their lives may not be in danger, it is difficult to come back." Ji Chang said.

"What? The boy is willing to go to Chaoge instead of his father..." Boyi Kaoma said.Ji Fa also looked anxious, as if he wanted to propose to enter Chaoge City on behalf of his father.

Ji Chang shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "Nonsense, are you Xibohou?

In the edict of the Son of Heaven, it is clearly written, summon the four princes, and if you go, don’t you leave something for the courtiers, when the time comes, I, Xiqi, will provoke the army of Yin and Shang? "

"Father, brother is worried about your body!" Ji Fa asked with a worried face.

"Yes, father and master Hou, please think twice." Everyone persuaded.

Ji Chang, however, showed determination in his eyes, waved his hands, looked at San Yifu, and asked in a deep voice: "Master, what happened to the matter that Benhou asked you to investigate?"

"Reporting to Lord Hou, I have been checking and visiting day and night, and I finally got the news a few days ago that Jiang Ziya probably lives outside my city of Xiqi, in the bamboo forest not far to the south. However, I sent people to go there several times, but they did not." Nothing to gain, this?" San Yifu said.

"Oh, I found it, why did you come to report it at this time, Mr. Jiang Ziya is a great talent in the world, King Zhou has no way, so he abandoned it, and now the fairy trail has come to Xiqi, which is exactly what I want to do in Xiqi, hahaha, bathing and fasting In three days, the Marquis will go to the bamboo forest to pay a visit in person..." Hearing San Yifu's report, Ji Chang was immediately overjoyed.

"The ministers respectfully obey the order of Lord Hou!" San Yifu and other ministers bowed respectfully.

In the south of Xiqi City, within the bamboo forest, there is a thatched hut, which looks simple, but if a monk comes, he will definitely find that outside this hut, the arrangement of bamboo follows a certain trajectory of heaven and earth, and there are more Taoist patterns. Diffusion, this is a small formation.

This is Jiang Ziya's residence in Xiqi, this year, this day, Yun Zhongzi came, looked at Jiang Ziya, and said with a smile: "Junior Ziya, are you all right?"

"Okay? Why did Yun Zhongzi come here...?" Jiang Ziya asked, wearing a coir raincoat, like an ordinary old man, putting down the fishing rod in his hand.

He was going to go fishing by the stream, but unexpectedly, an unexpected visitor came to the thatched cottage!
Yun Zhongzi took a look at Jiang Ziya, and said in a deep voice: "It is the teacher who counted, and soon the phoenix will be heard in Xiqi, and the Lord of the Ming Dynasty will be born, and Ziya's junior brother can assist Xiqi to defeat the Shang Dynasty.

Secondly, the teacher asked me to bring the list of gods and the whip, and give it to Junior Brother Ziya! "

After finishing talking, Yun Zhongzi threw his hand, and suddenly two rare treasures emerged, which turned into two streamers of light, and Jiang Ziya caught them in his hands. Jiang Ziya cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi."

"Junior Ziya, you don't need to worry. Fengming Xiqi, great prosperity is a certainty. There may be obstacles on the road to conferring gods and defeating Zhou. If there is a crisis, all the senior brothers from Chanjiao and I will come to help you. Haha, you Just lead the army to defeat Zhou, and..., your senior brothers have already accepted disciples, and when they have learned something, let those disciples come to your tent to listen to orders, how about it?" Yun Zhongzi looked at Jiang Ziya. , and smiled.

"Oh! Who are the disciples of the third generation?" Jiang Ziya asked with interest.

Yun Zhongzi didn't think much about it, and explained: "Senior brother Guang Chengzi was traveling through Chaoge a few days ago, and happened to meet Yin Jiao and Yin Hong, the second sons of King Zhou who were implicated in the assassination of Queen Jiang. , but Yin Hong fell into Chi Jingzi's sect.

Fearing to keep Senior Brother Sun, he has taken in his disciple Tu Xingsun, who is teaching the Earth Movement...

Senior brother Taiyi Daoist sensed the secrets of the heavens, and calculated that Nezha, the son of Li Jing in Chentangguan, had a relationship with him as a master and apprentice, so he went and accepted him into my teaching?
Then there is... Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun, Puxian Daoist, the two elder brothers of Nezha, Jinzha and Muzha who also accepted apprentices, and other senior brothers, have not yet confiscated good apprentices. "

"So that's it. Then, Jiang Ziya is in Xiqi, waiting for his nephew Nezha to help me, haha!" Jiang Ziya's eyes flashed brightly, and he clasped his fists and said with a smile.

Yun Zhongzi stayed in Xiqi for two days, saying that he was teaching Jiang Ziya to practice, but in fact he was observing secretly, wanting to see if Jiang Ziya continued to be enchanted?
"Hmph! How can you see through my immeasurable virtues!" Jiang Ziya was polite on the surface, and dealt with Yun Zhongzi, but in fact he snorted coldly in his heart.

After the third day, Yun Zhongzi had no choice but to say goodbye. When he was leaving, he happened to meet Ji Chang and others who were visiting in the bamboo forest. So he had an idea, changed into a woodcutter, and composed a song. Chang's concern and inquiries.

"I am only a woodcutter in the mountains, how can I compose this beautiful song? It was sung by Jiang Taigong who was fishing. I heard it and learned it by myself..." Yun Zhongzi said with a smile.

"Mr. Ziya, you are really talented. I don't know, sir, can you take us to the bamboo forest for a visit." Hearing this, Xibohou Jichang made up his mind to visit Jiang Ziya.

Yun Zhongzi was about to agree, but suddenly he heard Jiang Ziya's voice transmission in his ears, he hurriedly changed his words: "Jiang Taigong went to Yunyou the day before yesterday, I don't know if he will come back today.

I will show you the way, follow this road, go forward, turn left, and go up again... You can find it yourself, as to whether you can find it or not, it depends on your luck. "

"So, thank you sir!" Ji Chang quickly thanked him without doubting him.

The woodcutter left, so Ji Chang took all the ministers, his eldest son Bo Yi Kao and his second son Ji Fa, along the mountain path, straight to the hut, and went very eagerly.

"Om!" Inside the thatched hut, Jiang Ziya looked at the direction Yun Zhongzi left, and then glanced at the place where Ji Chang and the others were, with a ruthless look in his eyes, and he smiled strangely.

"Preliminary refinement and hitting the god whip and the list of gods are important. As for Ji Chang...?" When he spoke like this, Jiang Ziya flicked his sleeves, and the bamboo outside the thatched hut shook, and it seemed to emit immortal energy for a moment, filled with white mist, covering the whole world. The thatched cottage is like a fairyland.

As for himself, his body was silent, hidden in the ground, in a space hundreds of feet underground, with magic light in his eyes, and his spiritual thoughts suddenly penetrated into the magic whip.

Two flowers bloomed, one for each branch... Jiang Ziya didn't mention it here, but said that on the same day, a ray of light leaped out of Chaoge City and headed straight for the East China Sea.

The speed of this ray of light is not fast, and it can be vaguely seen. In that ray, there is a man who is not particularly handsome, but has strange facial features, like a monster?

"The sage of elucidation and the two sages of the Western religion have all made a move. Nuwa also chose to refuse. Hmph, for the current plan, if you want to bring Yin Shang, kill a bloody path within the calamity of the gods. , must form a close connection with Jiejiao, it is best to conclude a covenant with Master Tongtian..." The man's face darkened for a while.

After a long period of silence, the gloomy man's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Since I, Shen Gongbao, is the master of Yin and Shang, I will also become a disciple of the Jiejiao outside sect in a short time.

Even, at the fastest speed, if you want to be promoted to an inner sect disciple, then you can open up the situation inside Jiejiao. Sit and wait, absolutely not.

Alliance with Yinshang is the only way out for Jiejiao, don't expect Yuanyuan to let you go! "

Speaking of this, Shen Gongbao looked resolutely, and went straight to an uninhabited island in the East China Sea. A few days later, he set up his own dojo on that island,... Slowly, deliberately making friends, he got to know many people. After teaching the disciples of the outer sect, after building a good relationship.

Boom boom boom!Finally, on this day, from the direction of Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island, there was a voice calling for disciples, so Shen Gongbao and many friends went to Jin'ao Island to listen to the sermon.

The leader of Tongtian religion has no distinction, except for the strict teaching of his own disciples, all those who have the heart of Taoism come to Biyou Palace to listen to the preaching, they are all disciples from outside sects, so after hearing the preaching this time, Shen Gongbao, the master of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, logically, Became a disciple of Jiejiao?

So, slowly as his strength improved, he began to make friends with some inner disciples!
