Chapter 407: Poisoning and Assassination! 2. "Yin's" Mission! (Second Update, Today's 10,000-Word Monthly Pass)
What Lu Jian said to Nuwa Niangniang to the "promise of the two emperors of the demon clan" is actually an unfulfilled promise to her. When the two demon clans were in the war, Nuwa Niangniang had not yet become holy. Emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor once invited Fu Xi and Nuwa, who were also strong men of the demon clan, to join the Heavenly Realm, but they were both politely refused. The second emperor of the demon clan did not give up, and then asked for help many times, Nuwa Niangniang couldn't bear it, and promised to help the demon clan at the last critical moment. Later, Fu Xi calculated that the Heavenly Dao was about to be relisted, and the two demon clans were in decline, so instead of going to participate in meaningless battles and burying their lives, it was better to keep a useful body, and try to preserve and continue the luck of the demon clan afterwards.
In the end, when the demons fought a decisive battle, the second emperor of the demon clan failed to find Fuxi and Nuwa, who were deliberately avoided, nor did they borrow Fuxi's river map, and finally lost both with the demons, and the second emperor of the demon clan also fell in the battle of Wuxian Mountain.
Now that Lu Jian has raised this matter, he has the intention of asking the "parties" to compensate as the "family of the sufferer".
Nuwa Niangniang's body exuded a faint coercion, which made Lu Niangniang gradually tighten, but his face did not move.
"Niangniang, this time I dare to bring up the old things again, I have no other intentions, just to ask Niangniang to remember the old feelings of the same clan, and lend me the map of the mountains and rivers to get rid of the old enemy of the demon god clan, so as not to destroy the souls. ”
"Old feelings?" Nuwa Niangniang's eyes became more and more cold, and she suddenly withdrew her coercion and said, "Okay, this diagram is borrowed from you, just to end this cause and effect of the year." ”
After Nuwa finished speaking, a translucent picture appeared in front of Lu Press, suspended in the air, glowing with faint colored light. Lu Jian knew that this was the map of the mountains and rivers society, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and gave a deep salute and took the picture. Say goodbye and leave.
Nuwa Niangniang looked at Lu Quan's distant figure, a sneer with deep meaning appeared on the corner of her mouth, but her thoughts returned to the scene of the Eight Views Palace.
After the group of saints agreed, Yuan Shi Tianzun and the two Western saints each left the Eight Views Palace, just as she walked out of the palace. But I heard the Tongtian Sect Master shouting: "Niang Niang stays." ”
Nuwa Niangniang turned around, but saw the Tongtian Sect Master looking at her and said: "When I went back to Jinjiling last time, Poor Dao confronted the two senior brothers, although Niangniang didn't make a move, but she also had a friendship of helpers. ^^^^ Poor Dao thanked me here. ”
Nuwa Niangniang secretly measured the intentions of the Tongtian Sect Master, and said: "Brother Dao is polite, I had a gambling contract with the Son of Heaven back then, if the saint fights in the killing and robbery, I need to help the party with fewer people to check and balance and resolve the fight." In fact, when Brother Dao and Yuan Shi Tianzun fought against the two saints of the Western Sect that day, I also rushed here, and if Brother Li Dao wanted to make a move, I had no choice but to help the Western Sect. I didn't think much of the old covenant. But he never wanted to get involved in the controversy of killing the saint because of this, and he could no longer be alone. ”
The Tongtian Sect Master had already learned about this from Zhang Zixing, and Nuwa Niangniang was also a key to balancing the forces of the two sides in the Zhuxian Array, so he smiled and said: "Senior Brother once said that the general trend of the Heavenly Dao, the Xuandao and the Humanity are all in the calamity, even if you and I are saints, we can't stay out of the matter, how can we be alone? It is inevitable that he will be outnumbered, and he will have to work hard to balance one
Nuwa Niangniang guessed that the Tongtian Sect Master had such a request. He sighed and said: "The loss of a promise in the past, and even today, it is like a setback! It's just that, Brother Tongtian Dao, even if I fight with one of the saints twice, you alone will not be able to defeat the two saints. ”
If it weren't for the Taiqing Order, I was afraid that the Tongtian Sect Master would secretly plan with one enemy and three. The mouth said, "You and I are saints." All of them are indestructible bodies, even if they are defeated. Nothing gets in the way. But this time, it is a battle between the subordinates and the luck of the sect, and if the defeat is too bad, it will really hinder the skin. Niangniang only has to contain one saint for me, and I should take care of the rest. ”
Nuwa Niangniang nodded, and the Tongtian Sect Master was overjoyed: "Niangniang's kindness, the poor road is remembered in my heart, I thank you here in advance, no matter how the victory or defeat of the Zhuxian Array is in the future, the poor road will be repaid." ”
Nuwa Niangniang said a few polite words, and then returned to the palace. After thinking about it this time, I felt more and more inappropriate, when the Son of Heaven set such conditions in the Nuwa Temple, it caused him to run back and forth, and finally got involved in the battle of the saints. Could it be ...... But now that the general trend has been achieved, even if he helps the sect in the Zhuxian array, the great merchants and the sect will inevitably be defeated, and in the end, it will be the Zhou Xingshang who is counted by the six saints to be destroyed.
Nuwa Niangniang wanted to be here, and she was no longer suspicious, and said to a cadre: "Today, the six saints of the Bajing Palace have agreed that the battle of the human world will be man-made. All Xuan Dao Immortals or Dao Practitioners are not allowed to participate in the war, and all Dao techniques are forbidden. If you are inevitably contaminated with calamity, you must meditate and practice, and you are not allowed to leave this place for half a step, and those who violate it will be severely punished. ”
Everyone obeyed the order, only Li Dai and the "junior sister" seemed to be preoccupied.
Chao Ge, Zhang Zixing received a handwritten letter from the Tongtian Sect Master sent by Yuan Hong, in which he stated the decision of the sage of the Eight Views Palace. From now on, the Interception Sect will do its best to set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Great Array and the Zhuxian Array, and face off against the Sect of Exposition and the Western Sect. Now the Tongtian Sect Master is gathering the immortals from all over the world to gather in the Nameless Immortal Mountain, presided over by the three disciples of the Holy Mother of Wudang, the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, and the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, to perform the Great Array of Ten Thousand Immortals. At the same time, Zhang Zixing, Kong Xuan, and Xingtian were invited to come to Biyou Palace, together with the Duobao Dao people, and the Tongtian Sect Master to retreat together, participate in the Zhuxian Array, and practice the Four Elephants Zhuxian Array.
The letter also stated that the battle of the human world was crucial and that caution was required. If Zhang Zixing planned the Shang and Zhou wars, he would have no leisure for the time being, so Kong Xuan and Xingtian could come first. Yuan Hong also brought a pass to the Shangqing token given by the Tongtian Sect Master, with this order, he could travel unhindered in the Biyou Palace, and the order also had a strange mana, which could take Zhang Zixing to the secret retreat realm between the Tongtian Sect Master and the three major Xuan Immortals, and practice the formation map together.
Zhang Zixing knew that the Tongtian Sect Master had made up his mind to go all out and plan the final decisive battle behind closed doors, so he immediately accepted the Shangqing token, and invited Kong Xuan and Xingtian to come and go to Biyou Palace with Yuan Hong, while he summoned Wen Zhong, Shang Rong, Bi Gan, Fang and others to come and plan this human world war.
At this time, in the emergency supplement of the "Great Shang Quarterly", the oath of the joint publication of the place "the battle of the human world, but by man" of the Shang and Zhou dynasties has been spread all over the world, and it is indicated that it has been promised by the immortals. Not only the Great Shang and the Western Zhou Dynasty, but the entire world entered a state of emergency preparedness, including the princes of various places. The mastermind is constantly discussing the army, the soldiers and horses are frequently dispatched and drilled, and the war is about to break out.
When the news of the changes of the princes of all parties reached the Great Shang Dynasty, the Son of Heaven repeatedly convened the civil and military forces to discuss countermeasures, and some people proposed that the princes of all walks of life should be appeased. concentrate on dealing with Ji Fa, while some people believe that the princes of the Quartet, including Jiang Huan Chu, have always secretly colluded with Ji Fa, and it is definitely not possible to retreat by appeasing, let alone alien races such as the ghost party; ordered him to fight with Ji Fa...... For a while, the Son of Heaven could not make a decision, so he could only order Sanshan Pass, Chentang Pass, and Yousoul Pass to strengthen the garrison, and the military focus was placed on the five passes in the west. Whether it is Ji Fa attacking first or Dashang attacking first, the victory or defeat of the first battlefield is crucial, if Dashang wins, the morale will be greatly boosted, and the princes of all walks of life are afraid and dare not move lightly; Not only is it destructive to morale, but it is also likely to lead to an unfavorable situation in which various princes take advantage of the situation.
At this time, Zihong's performance was quite active, not only actively participating in the military discussion, but also putting forward a lot of constructive suggestions, which were unanimously praised by the ministers. And Zijiao only occasionally flashes of inspiration, although he has to be appreciative, but the discerning courtiers can see it, whether it is ability or performance. Even in the heart of the Son of Heaven, Prince Zhongyong is far inferior to Prince Hong of Pingxi.
Zijiao and Zihong were both the Son of Heaven when he was King Shou. Produced by his wife Jiang, although after the registration of King Shou, Jiang was named the queen mother, but strictly speaking, these two princes can only be regarded as "concubines". This situation is the same as the rebellion and died of Yue Wang Qi, Yue Wang Qi and the Son of Heaven were both born to the queen of the first emperor Emperor Yi, but when Yue Wang Qi was born, his mother was only the side room of Emperor Yi, and the Son of Heaven was born after his mother was already the queen. Therefore, the name is justified. Eventually, he was made the crown prince.
However, since the accession to the throne of the Son of Heaven. Whether it is Empress Jiang, or the later Empress Su, or the current Empress Shang, there is nothing to do, that is to say, there are only two sons under the knee of the Son of Heaven. Originally, the brothers of heaven and earth also had the qualifications to inherit the throne, but judging from the attitude of the former emperor B towards his brothers, it was unlikely. What's more, when Qin Wangyan, the only brother of the Son of Heaven, was the prince, he also united with Wei Ziqi to suppress King Shou, and after Wei Ziqi rebelled, Wei Ziyan was also suspected by the Son of Heaven and sent to a remote place. From this point of view, the crown prince will inevitably fall on one of the two princes. And this person is very likely to be Prince Hong of Pingxi.
This kind of judgment also made more and more people close to Zihong, Pingxi Wangfu was crowded for a while, and Zhongyong Wangfu was deserted, and few people came to the door. At dusk on this day, Zhang Zixing was reviewing the recital in the imperial room, and Shang Qingjun was assisting in sorting it out. Zihong begged to see him, brought a cup of ginseng and chicken soup tonic, and said that he made it by himself, especially for his father to nourish his body.
Shang Qingjun praised: "Pingxi Wang Guo and even filial piety!"
Zhang Zixing ordered the palace maid to serve the ginseng soup, took a sip, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Zihong had been paying close attention to his father's expression, and when he saw him like this, his heart couldn't help jumping, and he said, "Father, but the soup stewed by the sons and daughters doesn't taste good?"
Zhang Zixing smacked his lips and said, "Although this chicken is a little too old, it can be cooked."
Shang Qingjun said with a smile: "King Pingxi's filial piety can be learned from heaven and earth, but Your Majesty is still picky, is it true that this emperor is really the imperial chef?"
Zhang Zixing laughed and drank the soup as soon as he drank it, Zihong saw that he drank the ginseng soup without hesitation, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Father, rest assured, the son will pay attention to the heat of the stewed soup next time, and he will not disappoint his father." ”
Zhang Zixing praised with a smile: "The emperor has performed well recently, and this time he has come back and been reborn, which is indeed very different from before, and he can be worthy of a big responsibility in the future." It's your eldest brother's suburb, who is just greedy for the love of men and women all day long, and is good at immortal cultivation, and he can't go out behind closed doors, how can he look like a dignified son?"
Zihong hurriedly said that his brother was just confused for a while, and there would be a time to wake up. Zhang Zixing secretly sneered, praised a few words, and ordered him to step down. Not long after Zihong left, Prince Zhongyong came to the royal house to ask for a meeting, and was summoned by the Son of Heaven.
Zhang Zixing ordered the palace people to retreat and asked Zijiao: "Why is the emperor empty-handed today? Why don't you follow your imperial brother's example and stew a cup of tonic with your own hands to take it with the widow to show filial piety?"
Zijiao smiled bitterly: "Father, the son is dull, he only knows how to follow his father's instructions and stay at home. I'm going to ...... next time."
"Next time, no need!" Zhang Zixing sneered: "Could it be that you also want to learn from Hong, get a cup of poisonous soup, and send your father to die as soon as possible?"
Poisonous soup! Zijiao was shocked. Even Shang Qingjun on the side changed his face, it turned out that Zihong's ginseng soup just now was poisonous!
Not only is it toxic, but the toxicity is not simple, and when Zhang Zixing frowned, he realized the toxicity in the soup. This poison is not only colorless and odorless. It is invisible and traceless, and it is very secretive, and when it is not attacked, even ordinary immortals cannot detect it. Zhang Zixing even felt a certain familiar "taste" from this poison. It is very likely that this poison is the work of an "old acquaintance."
In fact, Zhang Zixing has given Zihong a chance to confess openly and secretly, but unfortunately Zihong has never been obsessed, and today's poison soup incident has strengthened Zhang Zixing's corresponding decision to Zihong.
Although Shang Qingjun saw his calm appearance, he knew that he was poisoned, and he was always uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Husband, how do you feel? Do you want to take Sister Hanzhi's elixir to get rid of poison?"
"It doesn't matter. Zhang Zixing shook his head and gave Shang Qingjun a reassuring look. asked: "Zihong returned to Chaoge this time, I am afraid that it is not just to be ordered to promote the war in the human world, then the exposition of the sect must have a bigger plan." Jiao'er, you know this matter, and you are never allowed to leak half a sentence to anyone! If Zihong is really hopeless, you are not allowed to tolerate it. You must know that this is the most critical moment, and if you make a slight mistake, you are in danger of losing your country, and you must not become a sinner in the world because of your personal feelings!"
Zijiao sighed secretly. Accepting the order, Zhang Zixing asked again: "Haven't you been staying in the mansion all the time?
Zijiao said: "Erchen is brave. Dare to ask where the national teacher Xiaoyaozi is?"
Zhang Zixing and Shang Qingjun glanced at each other, secretly surprised, and said, "Why are you looking for that Xiaoyaozi?
Zijiao lowered his head and said: "Don't hide it from my father, my son received the flying sword transmission from Shizun, and he had to secretly make a move before the big war to get rid of Xiaoyaozi." ”
Poisoning the Son of Heaven and assassinating Xiaoyaozi knows that it is not so simple for these two "sons" to come back!
Zhang Zixing's mind was racing, and he made a decision, and with a flick of his hand, the Violet Barrier was quietly released. The entire Imperial Room is silently enveloped in it. With his current strength, he used such a method. It is only the suburb of the true immortal that is naturally undetectable.
Zhang Zixing sneered: "I am the supreme son of heaven in the human world, the pillar of the great business, the wise and scheming of the Xiaoyaozi, and the great merit of the great business, and the most important planner of my big business." Now you want to assassinate the national teacher Xiaoyaozi, the original plan of expounding the religion is to start from the inside, poison the king, destroy the good ministers, and disintegrate the great merchants. If this plan is successful, the Western Zhou Dynasty can easily defeat the big merchants, and the land is a good poisonous plan!"
Zijiao lowered his head and was silent, not daring to look directly at his gaze, Zhang Zixing Senran asked, "Do you really want to kill Xiaoyaozi?"
Zijiao replied: "Enlightened father, although the exposition of the religion has its own plans, but the relationship between the master and my master and apprentice is not false, I want to repay the teacher's kindness with this, and after this matter, it has nothing to do with the exposition of the teaching." ”
"You are so pedantic! Guangchengzi really has a master-apprentice affection for you, but from the very beginning, he has bad intentions in teaching. In the past, he colluded with that demon girl to make a rebellion and forced you to leave Chaoge, and then pretended to show favor and accept you as a disciple, but his real intention was to use you to achieve a conspiracy! If this were not the case, why didn't Guangchengzi destroy that demon girl in the first place? lest you make such a big mistake of killing your mother?"
Zijiao knelt down with a "poof", knelt on the ground, and said in a low voice: "Erchen also dared to ask Shizun, and Shizun said that this is the will of heaven in the killing and robbery, and it cannot be ......."
"Shut up!" Zhang Zixing got up, came to Zijiao's side, kicked him to the ground with one kick, and added a few more kicks: "What bullshit providence! For the sake of the so-called providence of the earth, your mother and those two aunts deserve to die? For the sake of heaven's will, you can kill your father and mother, and then give away the entire big businessman, so that thousands of people who originally lived and worked in peace and contentment can return to the life of bitter slaves? If someone wants to kill you under the pretext of heaven's will, should you also be killed?"
Zijiao didn't dare to resist, and what Zhang Zixing said also made him really palpitate. For this "eldest son", Zhang Zixing has tested him many times, and finally determined his geocentricity, and he really has some expectations for him in his heart. Now he is angry and indisputable, but he is very measured. If Zihong had been replaced, it would never have been like this.
Shang Qingjun hurriedly pulled Zhang Zixing back, Zhang Zixing looked at Zijiao who didn't dare to move, and snorted coldly: "The days are impermanent, and with the current trend of killing and robbing the heavens, even a saint is difficult to figure out, so there is a Xuandao war that is about to start." Guangchengzi is just a golden immortal, this time in the midst of the killing, he doesn't know if he can get rid of the misfortune, how can he pretend to know the will of heaven?"
If Zijiao was still reprimanded by him and was afraid before, now he began to be really surprised, and looked at Zhang Zixing, just in time to meet the cold lightning in his father's eyes.
Zijiao suddenly felt a chill, a chill from the depths of his heart, which he could only feel when facing a strong man whose strength was far superior to his own. Although he had similar feelings when he showed his strength at Shizun Guangchengzi that day, it was far less than it is now. Is it the power of the Father, the Emperor, or ......
"The poison under Zihong has an extraordinary origin, it is very powerful, if it is attacked, even if it is an immortal body, it will not be able to resist. Do you know why I am not afraid of your brother's poison?"
Zijiao shook his head, but his heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, judging from his father's tone and the content of what he said, he faintly felt that there seemed to be a big secret about to be revealed, and cold sweat couldn't help oozing from his forehead, even if it was a true immortal cultivator, he couldn't suppress the tension in his heart at this moment.
And Zhang Zixing's next sentence really made Zijiao's heart agitated, and he could no longer suppress his surprise.
"Do you know that your mother Empress Jiang is not dead?"
