The timid Guan Shuxian finally gained some energy and quickly grabbed Zhou Gongdan's clothes, as if asking for help.
Zhou Gongdan's eyes flashed with contempt, and then he said, "King Shang is not willing to go to war with Xiqi. The reason why he sent the fifth brother's head is because he only wants food and fodder for the expeditionary army."
"Second brother specifically asked me to give him food and fodder before he left. He asked me to make a final decision. I must not give him food and fodder before he comes back. This..."
Guan Shuxian looked helpless, and then turned to his grandmother, Mrs. Taijiang, for help.
"I have the final say in this matter and will hand over all the grain and grass to King Shang!"
"What! So much?! Grandma, even if you give it, you only need to give a part of it. Why should you give it all?"
Guan Shuxian really looked at Mrs. Taijiang with an expression of surprise.
"Third brother! If you don't give the full account, you will really make the Shang King angry and ruin the second brother's important event. You and I can't afford it."
Zhou Gongdan looked like an idiot, but he still patiently explained to this useless third brother.
"Okay, then my grandmother and fourth brother gave this order. I'm just executing it!"
"Go quickly, then San Yisheng only recognizes you as the supervisor!"
After hearing what Zhou Gongdan said, Guan Shuxian left slowly.
Seeing him leaving, Zhou Gongdan said angrily, "I really don't understand why my father made this arrangement. How can this useless Ji Xian supervise the country!"
Mrs. Taijiang could not see through this third young master, but she knew that this Guan Shuxian was by no means as timid and cowardly as he appeared on the surface.
"I hope Dan'er will go to escort the grain and grass this time!"
"Oh! OK, I'm going to see how cruel that tyrant really is."
"Dan'er, don't underestimate the King of Shang. I have suffered losses many times. This is not like a cruel and stupid person."
After saying that, Ji Dan went to prepare, while Mrs. Taijiang had a worried look on her face.
…
The next day, Di Xin, who was in Tongguan, received a letter from Han Rong at Sishui Pass, saying that Guan Shuxian, the third son of Xiqi, had ordered people to fetch all the grain, grass and baggage and had already set off to deliver it.
"It seems that there are some sensible people in Xiqi. Gu is afraid that they are stupid and if they don't send food and grass, Gu will really have no choice."
Emperor Xin was smiling all over his face. In fact, when he was first ordered to raise food and grass, it was like a lion opening his mouth. This was one of the reasons why Boyikao came to Chaoge to plead guilty.
It's just that fate is unpredictable. Boyi Kao died at the hands of the saint of Jinli Island, and Ji Fa left the land of the Rong people, which was inevitably not to avoid Emperor Xin.
Now that the wish has been fulfilled and the food and grass are in hand, Gu's expedition will naturally have no worries.
"Who is in charge of this food and grass transportation?"
"Reporting to the king, this is Ji Dan, the fourth son of Xibohou."
Di Xin was happy when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the person who came was the wise man.
This regent, known as Yuan Sheng, is legendary, especially after the death of King Wu, he assisted his young master and ruled the world, and finally retired and returned to power to become the king.
But Di Xin knew that the real history was definitely not like this, it was just whitewashed history.
"When will Ji Dan arrive at Tongguan?"
"Your Majesty, if you hurry up, Ji Dan will arrive first in three days."
"Three days? I can afford to wait."
…
Fortunately, there were still three days before Di Xin walked out of the palace.
I happened to see Chen Tong and Huang Feihu standing in the ring, and they were about to compete.
Huang Feihu was originally a tough military general. At this moment, he was half naked, and the tendons on his upper body were bulging in the sun.
Chen Tong did not show any weakness at all. He was also naked, with red eyes, looking straight at Huang Feihu in front of him.
"King!"
Zhang Guifang was standing aside. When she saw Di Xin coming, she immediately asked for her luggage, but Di Xin stopped her.
"It's rare to see Huang Feihu shirtless in battle, so I let them fight so that I can see if my general is worthy of his reputation."
Di Xin showed a calm attitude, which made Zhang Guifang smile bitterly.
Sure enough, Huang Feihu and Chen Tong started fighting. The two generals went back and forth, fighting with pure physical fists without a trace of magic power.
The veins were bulging out, and one punch could break mountains and rocks. The two of them looked at each other, and it was a lively fight.
"good!"
There were a lot of shouts of friendship in the audience, and both the Tongguan soldiers and the expeditionary force soldiers were cheering for their respective generals.
"Ah! Huang Feihu, watch the boxing!"
Chen Tong seemed to be venting his anger, and when he punched, there was actually light in his fist.
But Huang Feihu, who was a human being himself, caught it with his palm and knocked Chen Tong to the ground with one punch.
Just like a boxer, Chen Tong didn't have any strength to stand up at this time. He was panting heavily and seemed unwilling to give up.
"Chen Tong, you violated military law first, and it was reasonable to deal with it by military law. But you are resentful, and now you are fighting with me in hand-to-hand combat. Are you convinced?!"
Anger flashed in Chen Tong's eyes and he said, "Huang Feihu, I just drank a few liters of wine in the army. It's late for your promotion, and you made a fuss out of a molehill and almost killed me. How can I be convinced?!"
"It is said that kindness does not control the army. Military law is strict and prohibitive. Don't you understand your fault?"
"Hmph, everything you say is right. I just hate that my strength is low and the Taoist techniques I use cannot be used on you. Otherwise..."
"Chen Tong, if you have any ability, just use it, I will convince you this time!"
"Hmph! Huang Feihu! Look at the escort!"
The magic weapon used by Chen Tong was the fire dragon dart. An exotic treasure was struck with the light of fire. It was a hidden weapon type magic weapon. It was extremely fast, and at the same time, its sharp edge could pierce holes in gold and jade.
"snort!"
Huang Feihu snorted coldly, and the veins on his arms popped out, like a horned dragon, and he stretched out his hand to catch the fire dragon dart.
The qi and blood on Huang Feihu's head were like pillars, wolf smoke stretched straight into the sky, and the virtual image of a fierce tiger appeared faintly.
"roar!"
Huang Feihu shouted again. The fire dragon dart lost its power and appeared in his hand, never moving again.
"What!"
Chen Tong was dumbfounded as his magical weapon, the Fire Dragon Dart, was caught by the enemy in front of him. What was even more surprising was that it was not injured at all.
"good!"
The cheering soldiers below all applauded him. What could be more inspiring than this?
Di Xin became excited when he saw it, laughed loudly, and jumped directly onto the ring.
"King!"
Whether it was the two sides fighting or the soldiers below, they all saw Di Xin's figure.
"Get up, Gu's blood is boiling with excitement. He hasn't moved for a long time. Come on, Feihu, let Gu see what your power is."
Huang Feihu, who had become a confidant for a long time, naturally knew the King of Human Beings, but Chen Tong couldn't help but be surprised when he saw such a heroic side of Di Xin.
Di Xin was originally a martial artist, and he immediately took off his clothes, revealing his bronze tendons, and his exploding muscles were full of energy.
The huge red bird tattoo on Emperor Xin's back actually looks like a living bird. The soldiers themselves worship the black bird. To many soldiers, Emperor Xin in front of them is like a god, and is as dazzling as the sun.
