Chapter 407: Poisoning and assassination! The mission of the second "Yin"!
What Lu Ya said about the "promise made to the two emperors of the demon clan" to the Nuwa Empress was actually an unfulfilled promise by her. When the two demon clans fought against each other, the Nuwa Empress had not yet become a saint. Emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor had
They strongly invited Fuxi and Nuwa, both strong men of the demon clan, to join the heavenly realm, but they were both declined. The second emperor of the demon clan did not give up, and subsequently asked for help many times, but the empress Nuwa could not resist her kindness and promised to give up at the last critical moment.
He tried his best to help the demon clan. Later, Fuxi calculated that the Heavenly Way was about to be rearranged, and both the demon and demon clans were in decline. Instead of participating in meaningless battles and losing their lives, it was better to stay useful and try to preserve and continue the destiny of the demon clan afterwards.
In the final decisive battle between demons and demons, the Second Demon Emperor failed to find Fuxi and Nuwa who had deliberately avoided it, nor did he borrow Fuxi's river map. In the end, both the demons and demons suffered losses, and the Second Demon Emperor also died in the battle at Wuxian Mountain.
Now that Lu Ya has raised this matter, he intends to demand compensation from the "party" as a "family member of the victim".
Nuwa Empress exuded a faint coercion, which gradually made Lu Ya nervous, but his face remained calm.
"My Majesty, I have the courage to bring up old matters this time. I have no other intention. I just want to ask my Majesty to remember the old feelings of the same clan and lend me the map of mountains and rivers to get rid of the old enemy of the Demon God Clan, so as to avoid the loss of life."
"Old feelings?" Nuwa's eyes became colder and colder, and she suddenly removed her pressure and said: "Forget it, I will lend you this picture to settle the cause and effect of that year."
After Nuwa finished speaking, a translucent picture appeared in front of Lu Ya, suspended in the air, glowing with a faint colored light. Lu Ya recognized that this was the picture of mountains and rivers, and he was overjoyed. He bowed deeply and took the picture.
, said goodbye and left.
Empress Nuwa looked at Lu Zhan's retreating figure with a meaningful sneer at the corner of her mouth, but her thoughts returned to the scene in the Eight Views Palace just now.
After the group of saints reached an agreement, Yuanshi Tianzun and the two Western Saints each left the Bajing Palace. When she walked out of the palace, she heard the leader of the Tongtian Sect shouting: "Your Majesty, stay here."
Empress Nuwa turned around, only to see the leader of Tongtian Cult bowing to her and saying: "When we returned to Jinji Ridge last time, Pindao had a confrontation with the two senior brothers. Although the empress did not take action, she was still helpful. Pindao thanked her.
"
Empress Nuwa secretly weighed the intentions of Master Tongtian and said, "Brother Tao, you're welcome. I made a bet with the Son of Heaven back then. If there was a fight between saints during the killings, I would need to help the side with fewer people to check and balance and resolve the fight. In fact, then
When brother Ridao and Yuanshi Tianzun were fighting against the two saints of the Western Sect, I also came here. If Brother Li Dao wanted to take action, I had no choice but to help the Western Sect. I originally didn’t care about the agreement in the past, but I never wanted to be involved in it.
In the battle between saints and disasters, we can no longer survive alone."
Leader Tongtian had already learned about this from Zhang Zixing, and Empress Nuwa was also the key to balancing the forces of both sides in the Immortal Killing Formation. He immediately said with a smile: "Elder brother once said that the general trend of heaven, the mysterious way, and the human way are all in danger, even if you
I, the saint, cannot stay out of the situation, so how can I protect myself? In the future, behind the Immortal Killing Formation, I will inevitably be outnumbered and outnumbered, and I will have to trouble my queen to check and balance."
Empress Nuwa guessed that Master Tongtian had this request, and sighed: "I lost my promise in the past, and now I have such twists and turns! Anyway, since I am in a calamity, I should complete this cause and effect. When the time comes, I will contain someone in the Immortal Killing Formation.
A saint. However, Brother Tongtian, even if one of the saints and I give up twice, you alone will be unable to defeat the two saints."
Two Saints? If it weren’t for Tai Qing’s order, I’m afraid there would still be one against three! The leader of Tongtian Cult secretly made a plan and said: “You and I, the Saints, are both indestructible. Even if we are defeated, there will be no hindrance. But
This time we are fighting for the fate of our disciples and the sect. If we lose too miserably, it will really hurt our reputation. Your Majesty will only control one saint for me, and I will take care of the rest."
Empress Nuwa nodded, and Tongtian Cult Leader was overjoyed: "I will remember your kindness to my empress, so I would like to thank you in advance. Regardless of the victory or defeat of the Immortal Killing Formation in the future, I will definitely repay you."
Nuwa Empress said a few polite words before returning to the palace. After thinking about it, she felt more and more inappropriate. The emperor had set such conditions in Nuwa Temple, but it caused him to rush back and forth, and finally got involved in the battle of saints. Could it be that
... Was that emperor really foresighted? But now the situation has become a reality. Even if he helps Jie Jiao in the Immortal Killing Formation, Dashang and Jie Jiao will inevitably be defeated. In the end, Zhou Xingshang will be destroyed by the Six Saints.
Empress Nuwa wanted to come here and was no longer suspicious. She said to a group of disciples: "Today, the six saints of Bajing Palace have agreed that the war in the human world will be fought by humans. All Xuan Dao immortals or Taoists are not allowed to participate in the war, and they are forbidden to fight.
All Taoist techniques will inevitably lead to disaster. You must practice quietly and not leave this place for even half a step. Violators will be severely punished."
All the disciples obeyed the order, but only Li Dai and the "junior sister" seemed to be worried.
In Chaoge, Zhang Zixing received an autographed letter from Master Tongtian sent by Yuan Hong. The letter stated the decision of the Saints of Bajing Palace. From now on, General Jie will do his best to set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and the Immortal Killing Formation, and compete with them.
Explanation of religion, duel between Western religions. Now the leader of Tongtian is convening the Jiejiao immortals from all over the world to gather in the Wuming Fairy Mountain. The three disciples of the Wudang Holy Mother, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, and the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother are presiding over them to perform the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. At the same time, Zhang Zixing is invited
, Kong Xuan, Xingtian came to Biyou Palace, together with Taoist Duobao, and the leader of Tongtian Retreat, studied the Immortal Killing Formation diagram, and practiced the Four Symbols Killing Immortal Formation.
The letter also explained that the battle in the human world is very important and must be cautious. If Zhang Zixing is planning the Shang and Zhou wars and has no time for the time being, he can ask Kong Xuan and Xingtian to come first. Yuan Hong also brought a gift from the leader of Tongtian to Tongxing Shang
With the Qing Order Card, you can travel unimpeded in Biyou Palace with this order, and it also has a magical power that allows you to take Zhang Zixing to the secret retreat of Tongtian Cult Master and the three great immortals to practice the formation together.
Zhang Zixing knew that the Tongtian leader had made up his mind to go all out and planned the final battle behind closed doors. He immediately accepted the Shangqing token, invited Kong Xuan and Xingtian to come, and went to Biyou Palace with Yuan Hong, while he summoned Wen Zhong.
Shang Rong, Bigan, Fang Xi and others came to plan this war in the human world.
At this time, in the emergency supplement of "Da Shang Quarterly", the oath jointly issued by Shang and Zhou Dynasties to "war in the human world, but by humans" has been spread all over the world, and it is stated that it has been agreed to by the immortals. Not only Da Shang and Western Zhou Dynasty, but also the entire
The whole world has entered a state of emergency preparation for war, including the princes from all over the country. Military discussions are ongoing, soldiers and horses are frequently mobilized and drilled, and the war is about to break out.
News of the changes in the princes from all sides spread to the Shang Dynasty. The emperor convened civil and military officials many times to discuss countermeasures. Some people suggested that the princes should be appeased and concentrate on dealing with Ji Fa; while others believed that the princes from all directions, including Jiang Huanchu, had always been
The secret collusion with Ji Fa cannot be retreated by appeasement, let alone aliens such as Guifang; some people also proposed to grant Guifang a title and order him to fight with Ji Fa... At that time, each had his own opinion, and the emperor could not make a decision.
, at this time, we can only order Sanshan Pass, Chentangguan, and Youhun Pass to strengthen their defense, while the military focus is on the five passes to the west. Whether Ji Fa attacks first or Dashang attacks first, the outcome of the first battle is determined.
The key is important, if the merchant wins, morale will be greatly boosted, and the princes will be afraid and dare not move lightly; if defeated, it will not only damage the morale, but also may lead to an unfavorable situation in which the princes take advantage of the situation to attack.
At this time, Zihong was very active. He not only actively participated in military discussions, but also put forward many constructive opinions, which was unanimously praised by all ministers. However, Zijiao only occasionally had flashes of inspiration, although Wen Zhong
However, the discerning ministers could see that Prince Zhongyong Jiao was far inferior to Prince Hong of Pingxi in terms of ability, performance, and even his status in the heart of the emperor.
Zijiao and Zihong were both children of the emperor's wife Jiang when the emperor was in the reign of King Shou. Although after King Shou's registration, Jiang was named the queen and mother of the country, strictly speaking, these two princes can only be regarded as "
"Concubine". This situation is similar to that of Yue Wang Qi who died in rebellion. Yue Wang Qi and the emperor were both born to the late emperor Emperor Yi's queen. However, when Yue Wang Qi was born, his mother was only Emperor Yi's concubine, while the emperor was his mother.
He was born after being a queen, so he had a legitimate reputation and was eventually made a prince.
However, since the emperor Zhou ascended the throne, neither Queen Jiang, nor the later Queen Su, nor the current Queen Shang have anything to show for it. In other words, these are the only two sons of the emperor. Originally, the emperor's brothers also succeeded to the throne.
Qualifications, but judging from the attitude of the late Emperor B towards his brother Bigan, it is unlikely. What's more, when the emperor's only brother Qin Wangyan was the prince, he often teamed up with Wei Ziqi to suppress King Shou.
After Wei Zi launched a rebellion, Wei Zi Yan was also suspected by the emperor and sent to a remote place. From this point of view, the position of crown prince will definitely fall on one of the two princes. And this person is most likely Prince Pingxi.
flood.
This judgment also led to more and more people approaching Zihong. The Pingxi Prince's Palace was crowded with people, while the Zhongyong Prince's Palace was deserted, with few people coming to the door.
In the evening of that day, Zhang Zixing was reviewing memorials in the imperial study, while Shang Qingjun was helping to organize them. Zihong asked to see him and brought a cup of ginseng and chicken soup tonic, saying that he made it by himself, especially to nourish his father's body.
Shang Qingjun praised: "The king of Pingxi is a very filial person!"
Zhang Zixing ordered the palace maid to serve the ginseng soup and took a sip. A cold light quickly flashed in his eyes and he frowned slightly.
Zihong had been paying close attention to his father's expression. When he saw him looking like this, his heart skipped a beat and he said, "Father, but the soup made by my son doesn't taste good?"
Zhang Zixing smacked his lips and said, "Although this chicken is a bit too stewed, it's still edible."
Shang Qingjun smiled and said: "King Pingxi's filial piety is a lesson to the world, but His Majesty is still picky. Could it be that this prince is really the royal chef?"
Zhang Zixing laughed loudly and drank the soup in one gulp. Seeing that he drank up the ginseng soup without hesitation, Zihong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Father, don't worry, I will pay attention to the heat of the stew next time. I will definitely
Don’t let your father down.”
Zhang Zixing praised with a smile: "Your Majesty has performed well recently. He has come back a completely different person. He is indeed very different from before. He will be able to take on a great responsibility in the future. On the other hand, your eldest brother, Zijiao, is just greedy for the love between men and women all day long, and he is also good at practicing immortality.
"How can you look like a dignified prince if you stay behind closed doors?"
Zi Hong quickly said that his brother was just confused for a while and would eventually wake up. Zhang Zixing sneered secretly, praised him a few words, and ordered him to step back. Not long after Zi Hong left, Prince Zhongyong came to the imperial study room to ask for an audience, and was summoned by the emperor.
Zhang Zixing ordered the palace attendants to step aside and asked Zijiao: "Why is the emperor empty-handed today? Why don't you learn from your emperor's younger brother and stew a cup of tonic with your own hands and take it with me to show your filial piety?"
Zijiao smiled bitterly and said: "Father, my son and I are stupid. They only follow the instructions of our father and keep a secret at home. I will definitely do it next time..."
"Next time? No need!" Zhang Zixing sneered: "Do you also want to imitate Zi Hong and make a cup of poisonous soup to send your father to an early death?"
Poisonous soup! Zijiao was shocked, and even Shang Qingjun’s expression changed. It turned out that Zihong’s ginseng soup just now was poisonous!
Not only is it poisonous, but the toxicity is also very serious. Just when Zhang Zixing frowned, he noticed the toxicity in the soup. This poison is not only colorless and odorless, invisible and traceless, but also very secretive. When it does not occur, even ordinary immortals can't.
Undetectable. Zhang Zixing even felt a familiar "taste" from the poison. This poison was absolutely extraordinary! It was most likely made by an "old acquaintance".
In fact, Zhang Zixing had given Zi Hong a chance to confess, both openly and secretly. Unfortunately, Zi Hong never came to his senses. Today's poisonous soup incident has further strengthened Zhang Zixing's decision to deal with Zi Hong.
Although Shang Qingjun saw his calm appearance, knowing that he was poisoned, he still felt uneasy in his heart. He hurriedly asked: "Husband, how do you feel? Do you want to take Sister Hanzhi's elixir to remove the poison?"
"It's okay." Zhang Zixing shook his head, gave Shang Qingjun a reassuring look, and asked: "Zihong returned to Chaoge this time, I'm afraid it's not just to be ordered to promote the war in the human world, but there must be other things to explain the teachings.
A bigger plan. Jiao'er, you only need to know this matter, and you must never reveal a word to anyone! If Zihong is really hopeless, you are not allowed to tolerate it. You must know that this is the most critical moment.
If you make a mistake, you will be in danger of national subjugation. You must not become a sinner in the world because of your personal affairs!"
Zi Jiao secretly sighed and respectfully accepted the order. Zhang Zixing asked again: "Aren't you staying in the house all the time? Is there anything important that I need to see you in person today?"
Zijiao said: "I dare you to ask the Imperial Master where Xiaoyaozi is?"
Zhang Zixing and Shang Qingjun looked at each other, secretly surprised, and said, "Why are you looking for that Xiaoyaozi? What is it?"
Zijiao lowered his head and said: "To be honest with my father, I have received a letter from Master Feijian and must secretly remove Xiaoyaozi before the war."
Poisoning the emperor? Assassinating Xiaoyaozi? You know it's not that simple for these two "sons" to come back!
Zhang Zixing thought in his mind and made a decision. With a flick of his hand, the purple barrier was quietly released, covering the entire imperial study room silently. With his current strength, using such means was only a real possibility.
Xian Zijiao is naturally unable to detect it.
Zhang Zixing sneered and said: "I am the supreme emperor in the human world and the pillar of the Great Shang. Xiaoyaozi is full of wisdom and scheming. He has repeatedly made great achievements in the Great Shang. He is the most important planner of the Great Shang. That son Hong Ming is respectful and filial, but secretly he is
You poisoned me; now you want to assassinate the national master Xiaoyaozi. It turns out that Chanjiao's plan is to start from the inside, to poison the king, destroy the good ministers, and disintegrate the great merchants. If this plan succeeds, the Western Zhou Dynasty can easily defeat the great merchants. Duan
What a vicious plan!"
Zijiao lowered his head and remained silent, not daring to look directly into his eyes. Zhang Zixing asked solemnly: "Do you really want to kill Xiaoyaozi?"
Zi Jiao replied: "I would like to inform my father, although Chan Jiao has his own plans, the relationship between Master and my master and disciple is not false. I want to repay my teacher's kindness. After this incident, I will meet Chan Jiao again."
It doesn’t matter.”
"You are so pedantic! Guangchengzi really feels like a master and disciple to you, but from the beginning, Chanjiao had bad intentions. In the past, he colluded with the demon girl to cause trouble and forced you to leave Chaoge. He also pretended to show kindness and accepted you as his disciple. His true intention
But I want to use you to complete the conspiracy! If not, why didn't Guangchengzi kill the demon girl in the first place? To prevent you from committing such a big mistake of matricide? "
Zijiao knelt down with a "pop" sound, lying on the ground, and whispered: "My son also had the courage to ask the master, and the master said that this is God's will in the murder, and you can't..."
"Shut up!" Zhang Zixing stood up with a slap on the table, came to Zijiao, kicked him to the ground, and added a few more kicks: "What bullshit God's will! For the so-called God's will, your mother and those two aunts
Should you die? For the sake of God's will, you can kill your father and mother, and then give away the entire business, allowing thousands of people who once lived and worked in peace and contentment to return to a life of slaves? If someone wants to kill you on the pretext of God's will, you
Shouldn’t they be killed at the slightest sign of the neck?”
Zijiao did not dare to use his skills to resist, and what Zhang Zixing said really made his heart palpitate. Zhang Zixing had tested this "eldest son" many times and finally determined his character, and he actually had some expectations for him in his heart. Now he is angry with him.
Bu Zhengcai used fists and kicks, but his strikes were very measured. If it were Zi Hong, he would never be like this.
Shang Qingjun quickly pulled Zhang Zixing. Zhang Zixing looked at Zijiao who dared not move and snorted: "The weather is unpredictable. With the chaos of the current killing and calamity secrets, even the saints can't figure it out. That's why the mysterious path is about to begin."
The war. Guangchengzi is just a golden immortal. He doesn’t know whether he can escape from the calamity, so how can he claim to know God’s will?”
If Zijiao was still frightened by his reprimand before, now he was really surprised. He looked towards Zhang Zixing and met the cold lightning-like light in his father's eyes.
Zijiao suddenly felt a chill, a chill that came from deep within his heart. He could only feel it when facing a strong person who was far more powerful than himself. Although that day when Master Guangchengzi showed his power,
He had had similar feelings before, but it was far less than what he felt now. Was it the power of his father as the emperor, or...
"The poison Zihong administered has an extraordinary origin and is very powerful. If it attacks, even an immortal body cannot resist it. Do you know why I am not afraid of the poison administered by your brother?"
Zijiao shook his head, but his heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate. Judging from his father's tone and content, he vaguely felt that a huge secret was about to be revealed. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, even if it was
Even with the cultivation of a true immortal, he could not suppress the tension in his heart at this moment.
But Zhang Zixing's next words really stirred up Zijiao's mind, and he could no longer suppress his surprise.
"Do you know that your mother, Empress Jiang, is not dead?"
