Just as Bai Yao and his guards were looking for Jiang Ziya all over the mountains, the phantom of the Heavenly Dao Chessboard descended from the sky, passing through the rocks and trees, and enveloping everyone.

Even Su Quanzhong, who was waiting to die in the camp, was also pulled over by an invisible force.

[The enemy boss commits suicide]

A hint of the Heavenly Dao chessboard came to Bai Yao's mind.

The next moment, the sky exploded with purple thunder again, tearing out a big crack in the sky, and the chessboard took everyone away.

The valley was calm again, and the fallen corpses dissipated as points of light, but the weapons and armor remained in place.

Many days later, a hunter went into the mountains, and when he saw the ordnance all over the ground, he picked up a machete and hid it, and went to report to the official.

…

Bai Yao opened his eyes gently, and Chao Ge was currently in the dark night, full of stars.

As he woke up, so did the knights.

Ji Fa opened his eyes suddenly, tears welled up in his eyes, and said hoarsely:

"All loyal!"

But after seeing the scene around him, he swallowed his saliva, and his heart was very dazed.

Isn't this a big camp for owls?

"I'm not dead!" Su Quanzhong suddenly jumped up from Ji Fa's side and looked at his body excitedly.

He was originally scarred, but at this moment, he was unscathed.

At this moment, thousands of wisps of brilliance hung down from the void, slowly merging into everyone's flesh,

Ji Fa felt a warm current in his chest dissipate towards his limbs, his muscles were a little itchy, and his heart beat faster.

He clenched his fists, and found that his strength seemed to have increased a lot, and he suddenly forgot to wipe away his tears.

The three thousand horsemen either felt the changes in their bodies, or were surprised that they were not dead.

The ascension of their bodies had not stopped, and after all the heavenly colors had merged into their bodies, their breathing became heavy.

[Current Ascension: Mortal Body - Refining and Refining Qi (Flesh)]

[Note: The improvement after each victory is determined by the battlefield environment and the difficulty of the battle]

The Heavenly Dao chessboard lit up with bursts of white light.

Bai Yao wanted to use his divine sense to sweep everyone to confirm, but found that the royal family was already kneeling outside the barracks.

"The speed of time is the same?"

He muttered to himself, then appeared outside the barracks.

When Bigan saw a white dress, he burst into tears:

"Great wishes...... You're not asleep......"

All the royal families raised their heads, and when they saw Da Zhu's figure, they breathed a big sigh of relief in their hearts.

They even brought all the sinners in the cell here, and if Dazhu didn't wake up again, they would have to pray to the ancestors in the old way.

Bai Yao shook his head and asked lightly:

"How many days have passed?"

Bigan trembled and replied:

"It's been three days......"

His answer confirmed Baiyao's suspicion that the speed of time in the chessboard world was the same as that of the outside world.

However, in three days, he had three thousand soldiers refining and refining qi, and he didn't waste anything.

"Go back, my soul is blessed by the god of wind, and I will never sleep again."

Bai Yao looked at the "sacrifice" on the side and continued:

"Sacrificing privately, polluting the heavens with the blood of lowly sacrifices, is the reason why I am sleeping."

With that, he brushed his sleeves back to the barracks.

The royal family looked at each other, and immediately sent someone to send the sacrifices back to the cell, and left with shameful faces.

Bai Yao returned to the barracks and said to the horsemen who were digesting this wonderful journey:

"When the flesh becomes stronger, it is the reward of victory."

The surroundings fell silent.

Only Su Quanzhong's eyes were strangely staring at Ji Fa, whose eyes were red and pretending that nothing had happened.

Bai Yao said again:

"If you don't need a break, then continue."

The horsemen saluted and said in unison:

"May I go to war with the great wishes—"

Bai Yao nodded and urged the Heavenly Dao chessboard.

But the chessboard phantom did not come again, and the chessboard prompt came to mind:

[The enemy has hung up the free card]

[Can only be used three times, each time can avoid the battle for one day]

Bai Yao frowned slightly, thinking:

"You can still hang a war-free card?"

"See how long you can hide."

He dispersed, leaving behind a sentence:

"Familiar with physical strength, do not leave the barracks at will."

…

Pick up the star building.

Zique, who came back from the thief, met a good woman.

"General."

Zique clasped his hands and saluted, even if both of them were great blessings, but the woman still had the identity of the queen and the general.

As soon as the woman saw Zique, she remembered the time when she was carrying the national fortune and fighting endlessly.

Unable to communicate with the ancestors, the royal family was panicked, believing that the ancestors had abandoned the Great Shang.

In order to prevent civil unrest from happening, they dedicated their lives to the battlefield.

After serving as the Great Minister, the fact of war is too frequent.

One of the two is a queen, and the other is a royal family with extremely noble blood, but they are not in the royal capital all the year round, and they do everything they can to make war exploits, just to impress the ancestors and get in touch with the ancestors.

But now it seems that the obsession they have struggled for all their lives turned out to be false.

Even if there are four gods, what about the ancestors?

The ancestors were all like them, waiting to be awakened by Dazhu using the fortune of the country.

The woman's eyes were complicated, and she said to Zi Quean:

"It's been a long time, Marquis Sparrow."

The direction of the two battles is different, and they can basically only meet when they return to the ancestral temple.

Coupled with the fact that Zique died on the battlefield first, excluding the time of sleep, the two have not seen each other for five years.

Zique was silent for a moment and asked:

"The general, last?"

The woman's eyebrows and eyes were calm, and she said lightly:

"Dead in battle."

She and Zique sat down in the tea room, and the two lived on the same floor with Baiyao.

Daji respectfully brought the tea and walked back.

The woman pondered for a moment, and then said to Zique:

"I can feel the confusion in your heart."

Zique's eyebrows were lowered, and he replied:

"Zique fought all his life, just to get the approval of his ancestors, but when he turned around, he found that the so-called heavenly realm is a temple, although there are four gods...... But there were no ancestors. ”

The heat of fragrant tea rose in the air, and the woman stared at Zique seriously for a long time, and said softly:

"You are the ancestor now, and the Great Blessing will summon the ancestor like me."

"But this ......" Zique and the woman looked at each other with a blank expression.

The woman shook her head and said:

"The existence of the four gods proves that what the great blessings of the past generations have said is by no means a lie."

"Did the Great Wish ever tell you about the future catastrophe?"

She asked.

Zique nodded and replied:

"Outside forces want to kill our big business."

Ling Yan flashed in his eyes, although his faith was shaken, his loyalty to the empire was absolute, and he said coldly:

"Wishful thinking!"

When the woman heard this, she smiled, this was the first time she had laughed since she was deified:

"Therefore, Dazhu has brought us to this era, we are the ancestors, and we are here to bless Dashang."

She looked at the bustling royal capital outside the window and said lightly:

"I have observed everywhere in Wangji in the past few days that the national strength of Dashang is at an unprecedented peak."

"We must protect this prosperity."

"Kill all the enemies who are hindering the advance of the Great Commerce."

Zique's posture was upright, and his dark light armor was flowing with a sinister aura, and he bowed slightly and said:

"Thank you, General."

His mood was much happier, and before he died, his last wish was even to pray for the ancestors to send down a revelation, so it was difficult for him to accept the ancestors who worshiped sincerely, but he only blessed the combat power sent to the temple.

After the enlightenment of the woman, Zique gradually figured it out.

He is the ancestor, and he comes to protect the great merchants.

What's more, the four gods exist, and everything Dazhu said is not all lies.

Perhaps thinking that the atmosphere was a little serious, the woman laughed:

"I didn't expect that there would be two great wishes in the vein of the Bird Marquis."

When the finch marquis heard this, there was a hint of a smile on his cold face.

"I didn't expect that either."

The woman didn't know what to think, and said lightly:

"But I found that Dazhu has not married a wife and had children until now, and he is the only one left in the lineage of the Quehou until now."

Zique thought for a moment and replied seriously:

"The people of my clan have always been very thin, and they have been passed down in a single line, but fortunately, with the blessing of the gods, they have never been broken."

"Besides, Dazhu is still very young."

The woman sighed lightly and explained:

"He's over a hundred years old."

"Including you and me, the past generations of Dazhu have left their bloodline, after all, no one is born to be Dazhu, they are all selected as successors around the age of twenty."

"But the current Dazhu has no children so far, and the future catastrophe will come, in case something goes wrong...... The vein of the finch marquis is broken. ”

Zique's pupils shook, and then he reacted, and there were only him and Dazhu in his vein at the moment.

He is the embodiment of national fortune, and he can't leave future generations.

"But...... But he's a great blessing. ”

If Baiyao was just an ordinary royal family, Zique would immediately force him to marry a wife and have children.

But he is a great blessing, and no one can force him to do anything.

The woman sighed slightly:

"The vein of the Bird Marquis is brave and good at fighting, and the achievements are impressive, and I can't bear to watch the bloodline cut off."

"When Dazhu comes back, I'll talk to Dazhu with you."

……

Palace.

Bai Yao did not return to the Star Tower, and after leaving the barracks, he came to the palace to discuss with Di Xin about the tribute of the princes of the whole country next month.

At this moment, the two were sitting opposite each other in the pavilion under the starlight.

"There are only twenty princes left in the south, and as far as Gu can see, it is still the same as in the north, so you don't have to pay tribute, as long as people come."

Di Xin pondered for a moment and said:

"E Chongyu's whereabouts are unknown, probably the mouth of the barbarian tribe has been killed, and his son E Shun ......"

The evening breeze was blowing, and Bai Yao chuckled:

"After inheriting the title, let him stay in Chaoge."

"That's what Lone thinks, too."

The corners of Di Xin's mouth raised, and at present, the three directions of the southeast, north, and south are completely controlled by Chaoge, and the vassal states have existed in name only.

But the name still has to be saved, and it has been more than 600 years, and it is suddenly abolished, and I am afraid that there will be trouble.

After all, Xiqi, who was run by Ji Chang, is still there.

白药 said again:

"I don't know if this Ji Chang will come."

When Di Xin heard this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Ever since he learned of the future crisis of the Great Shang, he has deduced the identity of the enemy.

The other three great princes either died or were set aside, and the only one in the world who had the ability to rebel was Xiqi.

"If you come, don't go."

He said coldly.

Bai Yao had no objection to this, but said:

"Killing can't be killed for the time being, the north and south are empty, and troops need to be sent to defend, especially in the south, all the 300,000 soldiers at the border pass were martyred, and the rest of the troops in various places were reduced to barbarian rations."

"At present, the south has not been rebuilt, and if a dispute is rashly provoked, Xiqi will definitely bypass Qinglong Pass and attack the south through Chuzhou."

"If Ji Chang dares to come, put him under house arrest first, and then attack Xiqi when the troops are sufficient."

According to intelligence, Xiqi's territory is now more than that, and it is even comparable to Wangji, with a large population, and it has never been affected by natural disasters.

I think it's because the teachings have been secretly helping them for a long time.

Bai Yao believes that the difference between the forces of the two sides should not be large, and maybe Xiqi will cross the desert to open up territory.

The spies he sent out didn't have much access to secrets.

What's more, Ji Chang is indeed virtuous, and the people of Xiqi respect him very much.

To what extent is it exaggerated - draw the ground as a prison.

Ji Chang picked up a wooden stick in the field and drew a circle around the criminal, who would rather starve to death than run away.

The people over there should not have a high degree of devotion to the ancestors of the Great Shang.

More often than not, it is the fear of the Great Blessing.

Bai Yao suddenly remembered something, waved his hand lightly, and a cloth full of blood characters appeared on the table.

"Take a look, my lord."

Di Xin's expression was solemn, and he didn't care whether it was dirty or not, he picked up the blood cloth and checked it carefully.

After a moment, he slapped the table angrily and shouted:

"It's against him!"

This cloth was found on the city wall, and because of the mention of the Great Blessing, it was sent to the hands of the white medicine by the royal family.

The blood letters on the cloth are the complaints, from a hunter in the north.

Probably because the guards did not allow him to enter the court, he posted the complaint on the city wall.

The above content is very simple, suing Chongying Biao, the son of Chonghou Hu, the son of Beibohou Chonghou, for doing all the bad things in the north, robbing people's daughters, killing people at will, and robbing property......

Judging from the content, Chongying Biao is not even as good as a brute.

After the end of the Beihai War, Chongying Biao, who took refuge in Chaoge, returned to Chongcheng, because Chonghou Hu's time in Chaoge had always been in charge of the affairs of the north.

But Bai Yao had already sent troops and officials to the north, and Chongying Biao no longer had the power to manage the minor princes.

But he was still a nobleman, and he had nothing to do, so he spent his mind on poisoning the people.

Because Chongying Biao had been propagating that his father was serving the king in Chaoge, the people who were bullied thought that it was useless to sue Emperor Xin, so they decided to sue the ancestral temple.

The north is different from other places, the environment is harsh, and all the people, except for the nobles, spend all their minds on how to eat and how to survive.

How could the illiterate Orion know that Da Zhu nominally doesn't care about these things, he only thinks that Da Zhu is the same figure as Da Wang, and he must be able to cure Chongying Biao.

This complaint made Di Xin feel complicated, and the complaint was all sued to Dazhu, what is the use of being a king?

"It's Lonely, who is too fortunate to worship Hou Hu."

He sighed softly.

Bai Yao replied calmly:

"The king sits on the throne, no matter how widely he speaks, it is difficult to hear the real voice of the people."

"Chonghou Hu has done many more bad things in the name of the king than his son."

Di Xin's expression was complicated and he didn't look up, Chonghou Hu really listened to him.

Bai Yao got up and said:

"The war of the future will require us to concentrate the efforts of the whole country."

"King, the national sacrifice lacks a second-class sacrifice......"

When Di Xin looked up again, the white medicine was gone.

He sat there for a long time before someone called his cronies.

"See the King."

The black-armored man saluted.

Di Xin closed his eyes, made a decision, and said:

"Send someone to Chongcheng to arrest Chongying Biao and thoroughly investigate Chonghou Hu."

"Yes."

…

Bai Yao entered the top floor of the Star Picking Tower through the window, and when he returned to his room, he immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

For he had just heard the voice of the golden candlestick:

"Great wishes, you can move on."
