Suddenly, Xiaoqing pointed to the sky and exclaimed.
"Black Bird!"
Lady Yin was stunned when she saw the black bird in the sky.
The legend of the Black Bird giving birth to the Shang dynasty has existed since ancient times!
Even today, the totem of the Shang Dynasty is the Black Bird.
As a princess of the royal family, Lady Yin was naturally familiar with the Black Bird. She recognized it at a glance. The divine beast in the sky was none other than the Black Bird, the totem of her Shang Dynasty!
At the same time, more and more people saw the black bird appear in the sky, and many people began to kneel down in worship.
The black bird circled once around Chen Tang Pass, and then transformed into a streak of green light, disappearing from everyone's sight.
However, what just happened is something I can't forget.
After all, the legend of the Black Bird has been around for a long time, and now it has descended upon Chentang Pass. What does this mean?
"Your Highness, what was that just now?"
When Madam Yin saw Ao Yifan and his companions suddenly appear, she instantly realized that the black bird from earlier must be related to her husband.
"Oh, let me introduce you. This is the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, whose true form is the Mystic Bird worshipped by the Yin Shang Dynasty!"
Ao Yifan explained.
Upon hearing this, Madam Yin looked at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden with a conflicted expression.
The worship of the black bird as a totem was the foundation of the Shang Dynasty.
However, as the saying goes, "Lord Ye loved dragons but was terrified of them," when the totem that was worshipped actually appeared in front of him, his feelings were quite complicated.
As a later saying goes, the reason why European countries yearn for Rome while East Asian countries dislike China is because the Rome of East Asia is still watching them!
Chapter 78 The Chaoge Mission
2025-03-05 10:06:43 Author: The Blind Man Without an Umbrella
"Your Highness, this matter may cause misunderstandings in Chaoge City!"
As a princess of the Yin Shang dynasty, Lady Yin was able to think of more and deeper things.
The arrival of the Black Bird at Chentang Pass, a totem of the Shang Dynasty, signifies something self-evident.
Even though her brother trusted her completely, he couldn't withstand the instigation of those ministers.
I'm afraid it won't be long before the envoy from Chaoge City arrives at Chentang Pass. If things aren't handled properly, it could be a disaster.
This book is being published for the first time.
"Madam, you need not worry. Your loyalty to the Shang Dynasty is as clear as day. As the saying goes, 'A straight body casts a straight shadow,' so you have nothing to fear from anyone!"
Ao Yifan put his arm around Madam Yin and said with a smile.
"This……"
Although she still had some worries, with her husband by her side and nestled in his arms, her worries would soon dissipate.
However, just as Lady Yin had predicted, a storm was sweeping through Chaoge City.
……
"Your Majesty, the Black Bird is the totem of our Great Shang Dynasty. Now that it has descended upon Chentang Pass, this matter cannot be ignored!"
"The Marquis of Xibo, Ji Chang, said in a deep voice."
Di Xin tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, his gaze coldly fixed on Ji Chang below.
Under Di Xin's gaze, Ji Chang felt immense pressure, and a fine layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
"You mean to say that my younger sister, Su Zhi, harbors rebellious intentions? Ji Chang, do you know what you're saying?"
When Di Xin's voice came, Ji Chang's heart skipped a beat.
"Your Majesty, I had absolutely no such intention!"
Ji Chang immediately knelt down. He could only think these words in his mind; to actually accept them would be tantamount to courting death.
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Marquis Jiang Huanchu of the East stepped forward and said, "I believe that Marquis Xibo is overthinking this. The descent of the black bird is an auspicious omen. This shows that Su Zhi has made meritorious contributions to the governance of Chentang Pass and has gained the approval of our Shang ancestors. There is absolutely no intention of rebellion!"
As Queen Jiang's father, Marquis Dongbo had always heard his daughter talk about how much the princess and her husband supported him.
Even in private, his grandson Yin Jiao had already acknowledged the prince consort as his "adopted father."
Given this relationship, it's clear that the princess and her husband were his grandson's staunchest supporters. How could the Marquis of Dongbo sit idly by while others attacked the princess and her husband?
“Your Majesty, I know that the princess once learned martial arts from me. I have often heard the princess say that if she mastered martial arts, she would help Your Majesty quell the four rebellions and help Your Majesty stabilize the fate of the Great Shang Dynasty. Therefore, I believe that the princess has no intention of rebelling!”
At this moment, King Wu Cheng, Huang Feihu, stepped forward and spoke.
Given the relationship between his sister and the prince consort, Huang Feihu would never allow the princess and the prince consort to get into trouble.
Two ministers, one civil and one military, stepped forward to speak on behalf of the princess, and in an instant, even more people stood up to plead for her.
Seeing this, Di Xin's eyes flickered slightly, and then he looked at Bigan.
"Uncle Wang, what's your opinion on this matter?"
"The arrival of the Black Bird is no small matter. We cannot draw any conclusions yet. In my opinion, we should send a delegation to Chentang Pass to observe the situation carefully before making a decision!"
Bi Gan said.
"Yes, Uncle Wang is right!"
Di Xin nodded, and then his gaze fell on one person.
"Prime Minister Shang, you are in charge of the rites and music of our Great Shang Dynasty, and you are known for your discerning eye. This delegation heading to Chen Tang Pass will be led by you. Please help me take a good look at my sister!"
Di Xin said calmly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Prime Minister Shang Rong bowed and agreed.
"Your Majesty, I wish to accompany Minister Shang to Chentang Pass. I hope Your Majesty will grant me permission!"
Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, petitioned.
This was a golden opportunity, and he was unwilling to let it slip away.
"Lord Xibo, you can leave this matter to Prime Minister Shang. There are some things that are not for you to interfere with, do you understand?"
After giving Ji Chang a deep look, Di Xin stopped talking nonsense and left.
With just a glance, Ji Chang's back was soaked with sweat. He knew that their king might have already noticed something.
"However, no matter how wise and powerful our king is, he probably doesn't know that Prime Minister Shang and I are betrothed by our children?"
Ji Chang thought to himself.
That evening, Ji Chang disguised himself and quietly arrived at the Prime Minister's residence.
What exactly the two said remains unknown.
Before long, the mission to Chentang Pass was assembled, with Shang Rong as the chief officer and Deng Jiugong as the deputy envoy to protect the mission. Twenty thousand horses marched in a grand procession toward Chentang Pass.
"A full 20,000 troops, plus Deng Jiugong guarding them. It seems our King is also harboring suspicions!"
Watching the delegation's departing figures, Huang Feihu felt somewhat helpless.
The arrival of the Black Bird was of great importance, and even he dared not say much.
"No, this concerns the prince consort. I will send my wife to the palace to inform my sister and tell the Queen about this. Now, only the Queen can persuade the King."
With these thoughts in mind, Huang Feihu rode his five-colored divine ox toward his residence.
……
"Mystic Maiden, remove your armor!"
In order to verify the extent to which Cihang Daoren controlled the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden through the Sanskrit text left behind, Ao Yifan decided to take the risk and conduct an experiment.
In an instant, a strong struggle flashed in the eyes of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who had always obeyed Ao Yifan's every command.
Clearly, this order crossed her bottom line.
“Mysterious Woman, I know very well that although you have converted to Cihang, your own will has not disappeared.”
Ao Yifan ran his fingers over the other man's armor and chuckled, "You don't want to be controlled by Cihang forever, do you? How about we make a deal?"
Upon hearing this, a flicker of emotion flashed in the eyes of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, and she asked with some difficulty, "What kind of deal?"
Seeing the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's reaction, Ao Yifan's lips curled into a smile.
"I will help you break free from Cihang's control, and all you need to do is give me children."
"Having a baby?"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's breathing became slightly rapid.
"What? You don't want to? Don't forget, Cihang may very well go to the West in the future. If you are taken there, you may never be able to escape Cihang's control for the rest of your life. Are you really willing to do that?"
Ao Yifan patiently and skillfully guided him.
This statement makes it seem as if the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's current predicament is entirely Cihang Daoren's fault, while completely absolving himself of any responsibility.
As expected, Ao Yifan's words had an effect, and the struggle in the eyes of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden grew stronger.
However, at this moment, the golden light of the Sanskrit characters in Ao Yifan's palm shone brightly, and no matter how much the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden struggled, it was to no avail.
Ao Yifan waved the Sanskrit characters in his palm and said, "Look, with this, I didn't need to negotiate with you. But I still respect your choice, which shows that I sincerely want to help you get out of trouble. Disarm yourself!"
Upon hearing Ao Yifan's words, the struggle in Jiutian Xuannv's eyes slowly dissipated. She gave Ao Yifan a deep look, then reached out to remove her armor.
"Bang!"
The sound of the armor hitting the ground also foreshadows the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's compromise with reality.
