Every time I wake up, I take the blame for the villain
2. Investiture of the Gods
The sign of no war has been hung on the tower of Chaoge for two days. Jiang Ziya is quite suspicious, but he can do nothing about it.
The wall of Chaoge City is not comparable to the previously conquered pass. The capital is the last barrier of the dynasty. Therefore, no matter which generation, the capital is as solid as a rock. Although they are a benevolent and righteous army, they have an advantage in numbers and are protected by the will of heaven, but if they really fight, I am afraid that the soldiers will suffer heavy losses.
The generals looked at the sign of no war on the tower and were very angry. Nezha stared at the sign, wishing he could poke a hole in the tower with his eyes, and angrily said, "I didn't expect that King Zhou was such a coward! Coward!"
Wu Jiyuan also had a solemn face, but he smiled when he heard it, "Nezha, why don't you go to the bottom of the tower and yell at him! Humiliate him, make him angry, and he might come out."
Nezha touched his chin, "Brother, you're right. That's fine." He stepped on the wind-fire wheel and rushed out with a fire-tipped spear in his hand. Wu Ji was dumbfounded, and couldn't stop him, so he hurried to find Jiang Ziya.
At that time, Jiang Ziya was discussing with King Wu how to conquer Chaoge with the least possible loss. After hearing Wu Ji's story, Jiang Ziya slapped his thigh and hurried out to find Nezha. He sighed to Wu Ji, "You, you! How can you be so impulsive!"
After this incident, King Wu had no time to put the measures they discussed into action, and hurriedly chased Jiang Ziya out of the camp, "Prime Minister..."
He ordered the army and rushed over to cheer for Nezha.
Nezha cursed for a long time at first, and there was a black mass of bows and arrows on the tower, but King Zhou didn't even show his head.
When Jiang Ziya and others arrived with their troops, Jiang Chen, who had just received the news, climbed up the tower step by step.
The eyes of the cultivator were bright, and Nezha saw him in an instant. "Bah! You shameless King of Yin! Why don't you surrender quickly!"
Jiang Chen had a blank expression on his face. Surrender? Since he woke up again, the word "surrender" has disappeared from his life dictionary. As for surrender? Haha...
I treat others leniently, how can others treat me! I am the supreme ruler of the world. People are afraid of me, fear me, and are afraid of me, so they will not have the opportunity to harm me!
Nezha was swept by his eyes and was silent for a moment. What kind of eyes were those? They seemed gentle and harmless, but in them, there was endless coldness and indifference, as if everything was an ant to him.
Before this, only his master Yuanshi Tianzun had such a look that could accommodate everything, but his eyes were always compassionate, not as good as these eyes, which only had hidden gloom.
He suddenly didn't dare to act easily, but advised, "King Zhou... turn back."
Nezha said this, but saw that the man in black clothes on the tower was not moved at all. He slowly raised a bow in his hand. It was obviously a heavy bow, but he picked it up easily, and even his face didn't seem to be embarrassed at all.
After many years, the Xiqi soldiers saw King Zhou again. He was not as disheveled as before. Now he was dressed in noble black clothes, with a neat appearance and his hair tied up meticulously with a golden hairpin.
When he first became King Zhou, he was so neat, but later, he became decadent, and he was always disheveled and playing with evil spirits.
Then a cold arrow was aimed at his forehead. Nezha felt a chill in his heart and immediately stepped on the wind and fire wheel to avoid it.
But this seemingly simple arrow was as fast as thunder. Nezha wanted to hide almost the moment he saw the arrow leave the string, but he failed to dodge.
Under the endless and breathless darkness, he suddenly felt that there was a moment when you would find it difficult to move half a finger.
When he shot the arrow, the heavy bow in his hand on the tower seemed to move slightly downward.
Whoosh! Then there was a cold sound of breaking through the air.
No one knew how he could shoot the black iron arrow with such a strong momentum from such a long distance.
His eyes did not waver at all, and he was determined, persistent, crazy, and cruel, but in the end, he returned to calmness, like an ancient well. But in that moment, the feeling he brought was no different from that of a wild beast opening its eyes in the dark night. You could not see any emotions in his eyes, but you just knew that he had a target and was going to hit it with one strike. Nezha had seen him before he surrendered to Zhou, and it was not that he had not looked at him before, but this was the first time that he broke out in a cold sweat after just one glance.
At this time, the soldiers in the army who had followed King Zhou in the past suddenly remembered that before this, King Zhou was also brave enough to stand alone against ten thousand men. The means by which King Zhou pacified the southern barbarians still make people feel scared when they think of it.
In front of the Xiqi army, an arrow pierced his shoulder, but it did not take his life. But this arrow must be more accurate. Nezha frowned in confusion. He covered his shoulder and looked up. He clearly saw that when King Zhou saw him turn his head, an unpredictable smile appeared on his face, which was puzzling.
Nezha felt cold in his heart, but he couldn't believe that this matter could be so simple.
Obviously facing millions of troops, and obviously about to become the king of a fallen country, he was not afraid at all, as if he was still the ambitious King Zhou who had just ascended the throne.
When he shot this arrow, no matter how encouraged the Shang camp was, many old generals of the Shang Dynasty in the Zhou camp, even Li Jing, ignored Nezha's injury and looked nostalgic for a while.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen didn't need them to miss him at all. The King Zhou they had been wise and brave, and the King Zhou they had been licentious and immoral, were gone. Now, there was only a wandering soul.
Everyone didn't know what he was thinking, but they all felt that King Zhou was in a heroic state at this time. On the contrary, Ji Fa was quite unstable and pale when he rode to chase him because of his previous injury.
But the people of Xiqi made way for him.
Ji Fa came slowly along the way, wearing a crown on his head, with a solemn face, looking like a king. He raised his sword and said to King Zhou on the tower, "...Shang Zhou, you are cruel and immoral, and you kill the people! Today, I, Ji Fa, will enforce justice on behalf of heaven and destroy Shang!"
Jiang Chen's lips moved, as if he was smiling, but it didn't look like a smile. He quietly began to dig a hole, "Just relying on you, Ji Fa?"
Jiang Ziya felt that there was something wrong with this, but King Zhou's tone was disdainful, and it seemed that he simply looked down on his own king, so he didn't say anything. Ji Fa frowned, "How about it! Today, my king We will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven and destroy King Zhou of Shang!"... Soldiers of Xiqi, today we will overthrow King Zhou's tyranny...
He paused after he finished speaking, which gave Jiang Chen the opportunity to interrupt him. His voice was loud and clear, completely overshadowing Ji Fa's weak and slightly out of breath voice, "I remember when the eight hundred princes came and became the only one who enforced justice on behalf of Heaven? I didn't expect that the son of Xibohou is so capable now? Not only can he act on behalf of Heaven, but also on behalf of the princes of the world? Given time, I believe..." He didn't finish his words, but some words don't need to be made clear.
This is quite heartbreaking, clearly implying that Ji Fa dares to think he is the master now, and it is unknown what means he will use against the hundreds of princes in the future.
Although it was the eight hundred princes who pushed Ji Fa to the throne, some things are better left unsaid if you do them yourself. If you hear them from others, you will never feel comfortable thinking about them. The eight hundred lords were no exception. They told the soldiers to go back and tell their lords that the eight hundred coalition forces in Xiqi might not be stable.
Jiang Ziya thought about it, and in the blink of an eye, many bad things flashed through his mind.
Many soldiers in Zhou’s camp were borrowed from other lords. When they heard the words, there was another commotion.
Jiang Chen curled his lips. That’s it. These soldiers were simple-minded and never had any twists and turns. Many times, they would not try to distinguish right from wrong. They believed whatever others said, even if they didn’t know the person, even if the person was an enemy on the battlefield.
Ji Fa was immediately furious, but he was also quite smart. He realized the problem and immediately argued and assured, "Shameless King of Shang, stop trying to sow discord! I will keep my promise. In the future, the eight hundred princes will never be ruled by your brutality again. I will also reward these meritorious generals with land and spears!"
So the soldiers gradually calmed down. Jiang Chen didn't care and clapped his hands happily, "Well said! Well said!"
The cold wind was so strong that everyone didn't understand what he meant for a while.
But he suddenly changed the subject, looking very distressed, "Fei Zhong and You Hun! Although I know he speaks well, I don't really understand what Ji Fa means. Why don't you explain it?"
Fei Zhong and You Hun were both cunning and immediately understood what he meant. Thinking of the hint given by their own king as soon as he went upstairs, they immediately raised their voices and shouted to the generals below, "Oh, it turns out that the King Wu in the rumors is such a virtuous person. I, Fei Zhong, really thought that Ji Fa became the King Wu for what he called "acting on behalf of heaven". Now it seems to be a lie!"
The two sang in unison, and You Hun said, "Yes, what about sympathizing with the people? Who can't say good things? ! From what he said, isn't it for the throne of my king? You have to put on a hypocritical face for the people of the world and enfeoff the princes. Do you have the ability! "
Jifa's face turned pale when he heard this, and he swallowed the blood in his mouth. Seeing that his face was not right, Jiang Ziya pointed at Fei Zhong and You Hun and said angrily, "You shameless villains, don't slander my king's good name."
Fei Zhong immediately replied, "The king is not afraid of real villains, but he is very afraid of hypocrites! The hypocrite stabbed you, and you still counted money for him! Soldiers in Zhou camp, don't be foolish and happy after being sold out!"
Jifa finally couldn't help it and spurted out a mouthful of blood. The Zhou camp was in chaos and had to temporarily fade away.
Seeing this, Fei Zhong and You Hun laughed and immediately flattered him, "Your Majesty, this plan was successful without bloodshed, it's really brilliant!"
"Ji Fa really values his reputation, Your Majesty is wise!"
Jiang Chen turned his eyes away from the two sycophants and looked at the smoke and dust, his eyes darkening.
Sometimes, even the smallest villain can be a great help if used well...
