Xiqi.

Ji Fa, Jiang Ziya, Feng Qi, and Yang Ren are visiting the secret vault of the Secret Soldier Hall.

Yang Ren picked up a long sword on the weapon rack and handed it to Ji Fa with both hands. Ji Fa looked at the sword and motioned for Jiang Ziya to fight with the bronze sword, but only after two blows, the bronze sword "clanged", broke in two, and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Ji Fa laughed, looking at the steel sword in his hand as if he had been treasured, he couldn't put it down.

The wind cockroach praised heartily on the side: "What a divine weapon! This sword is extremely sharp, although it is not as good as the immortal weapon, but it can also be called the first in the mortal world." What's more, the immortal family's weapons must be refined with real fire immortal materials, and it is extremely difficult to refine one. And the secret method that Dr. Yang is offering now can be simple and applicable, and quickly refine such high-quality steel, which is really admirable!"

Yang Ren glanced at the cockroach lightly and did not say anything. He has always been a little wrong with the cockroach, the cause is the "scolding" when the cockroach persuaded him to surrender, although he is now a minister in the same hall, but he has never been able to pull down. For Ji Fa, as long as the two of them don't bring this kind of emotion to their official affairs, some small contradictions restrain each other, but for the superiors, it is easier to control, so they usually persuade a few words at most.

Ji Fa thought of something, and suddenly asked, "Yang Qing, this secret method is contained in the Great Shang Divine Weapon Workshop?

If this is the case, no matter how many weapons he has built in the next few months, they will not be able to compare to the inventory of the Great Shang for several years?

Yang Ren knew Ji Fa's thoughts, and said with a smile: "The Great King Hugh should be worried, the one used by the Great Merchants is just the Hundred Steel Refining Method. It is to take more than 100 fires of fine iron forging, each forging is called, one forging is light, to the tired forging and the pound is not reduced, then pure steel also. Although it is not consumed. However, this method requires repeated forging and folding, even hundreds of times. It was laborious and time-consuming, so the production of the big merchants has not been high, and most of them used this steel for the arrow clusters of elite archers. In the previous Jinji Ridge, the armor-piercing arrows used by the elite archers were made by this method. And now this secret method is the result of many experiments by me, derived from the method of 100 steelmaking, and is called the method of filling steel. I am the only one in the world who knows about my personal secrets. This method is roughly based on the use of soft iron to bend the plate, but to use pig iron to trap it in the middle and seal the mud to refine it. Forging orders are in. It is called a group of steel. It is also known as steel filling. Compared with the 100-for-100 steel-making method, this method is 100 times simpler and faster, and can be quickly popularized and applied in large quantities. This time, in addition to this green steel sword, there are also fine iron scimitars, iron armor and various strange weapons, all of which are made of steel. The subordinates could guarantee that if they could invest financial resources, they would be able to quickly spread these equipment to the army. And it is far more than the total output of Dashang in several years!"

Ji Fa visited some of the "divine soldiers" in the rest of the place, and it really greatly exceeded the current equipment in the army, and the power of some ordnance was far beyond his imagination, and he was full of praise for a while.

Yang Ren saluted and said: "Most of these ordnances are secretly developed by the subordinates. Its power is far greater than that of the Great Merchant God Weapon! If it can be used in war, it will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. The subordinates have been blessed by the king, and now they have just done everything they have learned to repay them, hoping to help the king achieve great things!"

Ji Fa nodded, and praised again. Because Yang Ren's proposal for the new weapon required a lot of money, far exceeding the military budget, he also hesitated at that time, thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to invest money first to produce samples. See how it works. If it is worth investing, then make up your mind to spare no effort to support it, if the effect is not satisfactory. Then give up in time, so as not to waste money in vain. Practice proved that the effect of these weapons far exceeded Ji Fa's expectations, and if he was to cope with the war, he was invincible, and immediately made up his mind to exhaust the treasury and private treasury, and tried to raise money, and made every effort to support the casting of new weapons.

Now the princes of the eastern, southern, and western roads have clearly helped each other, forming a trend of encirclement of the great merchants. As long as Xiqi can possess these powerful new weapons, he will be able to wipe out the merchant army all the way and become the master of Chaoge, so as to realize his long-cherished wish for many years.

The more Ji Fa thought about it, the happier he became, and blurted out: "With such a divine soldier, the destruction of the business is just around the corner! Yang Qing has made such a miraculous feat, and he will be treated well in the future!"

Yang Ren hurriedly thanked him, but at this time, the cockroach interjected "out of place": "The Lord is wrong with this! Although these divine soldiers are good, it is nonsense to say that they can use this to destroy the business. In my opinion, even if this divine weapon can be mass-produced and equipped with our army, it will not be able to defeat the big merchants. If you start something rashly at this time, I am afraid that the winning rate is less than 10%. ”

Yang Ren was furious: "Wind cockroach! This miraculous effect of the divine soldier is the king's personal experience, what is your intention to deliberately degrade me so much? If you don't say why you come today, I will not rest with you!"

Ji Fa had the lesson of the defeat of Jinjiling, and he became a lot more cautious, he knew that the cockroach had always been resourceful, since he asserted next time, it would never be groundless, it must be reasonable, and asked politely at the moment: "Please also explain in detail Mr." ”

Feng Yan smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "If you use the theory of the conventional army, relying on the divine weapons of the doctor, plus Jiang Chengxiang's strategy and my Western Zhou strong generals, if you want to defeat the big business, you will also have nearly eighty percent of the chance to win." It's just ......"

When Ji Fa heard that there was an eighty percent chance of winning, he was itchy and couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly asked.

"In the last battle of Jinjiling, the merchant army won a surprising victory with archers, causing countless losses to our army's heavy cavalry, relying on such divine weapons. However, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and although this battle is lost, our army can still stand and fight again. In the end, what made us return to Xiqi was not the cause of this soldier's common sense, but ...... Immortals!This is the key factor that affects the battle situation!" As he spoke, Feng Yan shook his head and sighed: "I am also a cultivator, and I know the cultivation realm of immortals. Immortals are divided into three categories: True Immortals, Golden Immortals, and Xuan Immortals, among them, Xuan Immortals are the most powerful. Our army has the help of the Western Sect and the Western Sect of the Immortals, while the Interception Sect supports the Great Shang. In that sect, there are many elites, there are nearly ten Xuan Immortals, and the combined number of exposition and Western religion is not enough, and the realm is low, so it is difficult to resist the enemy. ”

Ji Fa was shocked: "This Xuan Immortal is really so powerful?"

Yang Ren is not a cultivator, his face is at a loss, but Jiang Ziya knows it: In the battle of Jinjiling, Zhao Gongming beat the immortals with five-colored millilight treasures, including Xuan Immortals such as Lu Jian and Xuanji Zhenren, which is simply unacceptable; The strength of the sect is really far above the exposition of the religion and the Western religion. And now that the exposition of religion and Western religion have broken face, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to resist the enemy and intercept the religion.

The cockroach said again: "Above the Xuan Immortal, there is another mixed circle saint." All have the great power to destroy the heavens and the earth and annihilate the stars. There are three major saints in the Sect and the Western Religion, and there is only one Sect of Interception, which seems to have a great advantage on our side. But these saints, who are not bad in all calamities, are transcendent and will not make a move easily, even if they fight, they are occasionally done among saints. If it is not a last resort. We will never attack ordinary immortals, so in reality, we are really at a disadvantage. ”

Jiang Ziya felt that the wind cockroach was extremely reasonable, and sighed: "What Mr. said is true, it is indeed like this!"

Yang Renben was angry, and when he heard the cockroach explain like this, Jiang Ziya also agreed. The anger gradually subsided, and his expression became solemn. Ji Fa's ambition cooled down suddenly, and he asked unwillingly: "According to what Mr. said, the strength of the immortals on the side of the Great Shang is far better than ours?"

The cockroach replied affirmatively: "This is the key, otherwise no matter how powerful the divine weapon offered by Doctor Yang is." Nor can it match the immortals. Regardless of those outsiders, the strange abilities of the Great Merchants themselves alone are countless, and if they are against the enemy, it is difficult for our army to have a chance of victory, unless it is ......"

Seeing the appearance of the cockroach, Ji Fa seemed to have hope, and hurriedly asked, "Unless what?"

The cockroach had a straight face, and when he said something, Ji Fa listened with great color. ^^^^, even Yang Ren and Jiang Ziya nodded secretly.

The plan of the cockroach is to try to make the immortals and saints on both sides make a promise. None of them participated in the battle of the human realm, and then called on all the princes. Launch an all-out attack on the Great Shang. Relying on these divine weapons provided by Yang Ren and other advanced weapons in the Secret Weapon Hall, they will inevitably win by surprise and defeat the Great Shang in one fell swoop.

Yang Ren saw that the cockroach affirmed the power of his weapon, but he did not deliberately embarrass him, and put forward supplementary opinions. There are many strange people in the Great Shang, far better than the Western Zhou Dynasty, this time not only to prohibit the participation of immortals, but also to prohibit the use of all Dao magic and immortal techniques in the war. If this is the case, with the power of the new weapons of the Western Zhou Dynasty, coupled with the encirclement of the other three armies, the Great Shang will definitely be defeated.

The more Ji Fa listened, the more he moved, listening to such an analysis, as long as he could get rid of the ---- immortals, who relied on the greatest amount of the big merchants, so that there was no Taoist "interference" on the battlefield, with the existing military strength of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he could win the battle.

Jiang Ziya felt that Feng Qi and Yang Ren were analytically reasonable, but at the same time, he also raised the question in his heart: How can this idea be realized? Even if he went to persuade his master Yuan Shi Tianzun to make the Explanation Sect agree, and then tried to make the Western Sect that was still faintly standing behind the Western Zhou Dynasty agree. However, how could the Sect Master of the Sect of Interception Tongtian agree, and how could the Son of Heaven of Great Shang agree?

Feng Yan nodded and said: "What Prime Minister Jiang Cheng proposed is the key to this plan, and this matter also requires Prime Minister Jiang Cheng to go to the Yuxu Palace of Kunlun Mountain, and ask the saints of your sect to try to unite all the saints to reach a consensus, and force the sect to agree to this festival." If we can get the consent of all the saints and prohibit the immortals from participating in this battle of the human realm and ban the Dao art in the war, then our side will have at least an eighty percent chance of winning. ”

Yang Ren seemed to suddenly think of something, and said: "The last time Dashang defeated our army at Jinjiling, its archers were so powerful that they were almost invincible, so Dashang also had a complacent heart, thinking that even if he didn't rely on Taoist immortals, he could easily defeat our army. The king can use clever tricks to force himself to have no choice, create a desperate and desperate situation to the outside world, show the enemy weakness, and then personally fight a decisive battle against the great merchants. Zhongke can take the disaster of Gao You's poison technique and the innocent people of Xiqi as an example, and say that the battle in the human world should be fought by manpower, not relying on immortals, and not using Taoism. ^^,,,, first issue ^^"

Feng Yan had an idea and added: "The Doctor is reasonable, and at the same time, the king can bribe the ministers of the court and the central government with heavy bribes, and take advantage of the contempt and complacency of the big businessmen to urge the Son of Heaven to take the initiative to agree to this matter." Once the Son of Heaven agrees, our army should be able to be ** Shenwei, break through the five passes all the way, drive straight in, join the three-way army, and force Chaoge. Even if the Son of Heaven wants to repent when the time comes, with all the divine witnesses, he will not be able to break his word. ”

"What a clever plan, the two Qing families are really the right-hand men of the lonely king!" Ji Fa heard it radiantly, and his eyes fell on Jiang Ziya, and he hurriedly added: "With the father here, plus the two Qing families, the world can be determined!"

Jiang Ziya heard this plan, and secretly praised: If you can really follow the plan of Feng Yan and Yang Ren, the winning side of the Western Zhou Dynasty will be greatly increased, and the business will be broken just around the corner.

Ji Fa smiled and said, "Father, this plan has been decided. I will ask you to go to Kunlun and tell the sage that I will strive to promote this plan. In the future, if I take over the world. Ascend the throne as the emperor, be the only noble sect, and make all the people look at it!"

Jiang Ziya nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since I should serve the king, I will leave for Kunlun Mountain when I am young. ”

"Father Xiang has worked hard. Ji Fa showed joy, and said to Yang Ren: "Yang Qing, I was hesitant about the matter of the divine soldier at the beginning, but it was really unwise, and I even delayed the precious time. Now I'm going to invest a lot. Full production. I don't know how long it will take to equip it in the army?"

Yang Ren groaned: "In the Great Shang God Soldier Workshop, there is a method of assembly line production, which can greatly speed up and improve efficiency, and our army can also use it. As long as there are enough financial resources and manpower, a batch of divine soldiers can be produced within a few months. But at present, the iron ore resources are limited, and if you want to equip the whole army. I'm just afraid ......"

The wind cockroach groaned for a moment and said: "It's okay, the king doesn't need to assemble the whole army, there is already a lot of equipment in the secret army hall, which is far superior to ordinary armaments." It can be taken out and used in the army. Then the divine soldiers created this time will be distributed accordingly according to the needs of the troops, which can greatly improve the combat power. In fact, the same is true of the army of the Great Shang, only the armor-piercing arrows are used for steel. The king can also assemble an elite army, fully equipped with a divine weapon suit, which can play a surprise role in key battles, and can also be used as a pro-guard to protect the king's safety. ”

Ji Fa nodded again and again, secretly praising the talents of these two people, there are these two people. That "father" Jiang Ziya seems a little dispensable. The reason why Jiang Ziya gave up the big business dynasty at the beginning. defected to Xiqi, must have been instructed by the saint behind him. I want to use Saiki. At that time, he was fledgling and had empty ambitions, so he trusted and reused Jiang Ziya unreservedly. Now it is not what it used to be, he is already the respect of the Martial King, and he has accepted capable ministers like Feng Cockroach and Yang Ren, and his reliance and trust have gradually shifted to these two people, and he has further established the power that really belongs to him, the Martial King, "himself". But at present, the war is not over, and Jiang Ziya has the support of saints and immortals behind him, so he still has to win over.

Everyone discussed for a while, including how to build momentum to "force" Ji Fa to have no choice but to fight, and which ministers of Chaoge to use bribes. After the "dismissal", the cockroach and Yang Ren looked like they ignored each other again, occasionally looked at each other, and snorted coldly and said nothing. Ji Fa thought that harmony was precious, pretended to persuade a few words, and set up a dinner party to entertain three in the name of getting late.

He didn't understand the true meaning of Fei Lian and Yang Ren's "exchange" of eyes.

A day later, Jiang Ziya drove the four disagreements and came to the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain, and the white crane boy entered the main hall and met with Yuanshi Tianzun. At this time, Guang Chengzi and Red Sperm happened to be in the main hall, listening to some kind of teachings of Yuanshi Tianzun, and the Antarctic Immortal Weng was also standing on the side.

Yuan Shi Tianzun opened his mouth and asked, "Ziya, what is the matter with you coming to the Jade Void Palace today?"

Jiang Ziya hurriedly told the plan of the wind cockroach and the others. When Guang Chengzi, Red Sperm and Antarctic Immortals heard this, they all showed surprise: The battle of the human world, the prohibition of immortals and Taoism?

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, and with a slight calculation in his heart, he said lightly: "You have a good idea to fight the ground! Everyone knows that killing and robbery is the trend of heaven, if it is only a battle in the human world, how can it be completed?"

Jiang Ziya didn't dare to tell the difference, but just said the "exclusive exposition" promised by Ji Fa.

Yuan Shi Tianzun's heart moved when he heard this, and he asked how the activities of the Western Sect were in Xiqi. Jiang Ziya replied truthfully, saying that the Garuda who incarnated as Luo Jia had been taken away by the Quasi-Daoist, and the whereabouts of the third Ming King were unknown, and he had died of poison. It's just that the Western Church has recently secretly sent a woman to come, this woman is one of the eight sects, beautiful in appearance, graceful in posture, and proficient in music theory. Ji Fa often discussed music theory with him, and seemed to be interested in him, and Nagandapo's clever methods made Ji Fa very obsessed, and even the princesses were estranged.

A good idea for the Western Sect! A cold light flashed in Yuan Shi Tianzun's eyes, and he couldn't help but groan when he thought of Ji Fa's promise to "expound the teachings alone."

Guang Chengzi pondered for a while, and said, "Supreme, please forgive the disciple for speaking out. At the moment, although my sect has the secret support of the Heavenly Realm, its strength has lost a lot after all, and no matter how strong the external force is, it is not my own strength after all. Moreover, our religion is in the same boat as the Western religion, and if we want to defeat the sect, we should ...... The odds are not good. I heard that the Son of Heaven of the Great Merchants had regained his prestige, and the hearts of the Great Merchants were cohesive, and the day before yesterday he made a strange move. The soldiers almost dragged down the Western Zhou Dynasty without blood, and there are many capable people, if it is common sense. The Western Zhou Dynasty was difficult to resist. On both sides, the trend of our religion is really falling behind, and if we don't try to reverse this trend, I am afraid that it will ......"

Yuan Shi Tianzun thought of the powerful power of the Interception Sect, and recalled the power of Xiaoyaozi, Xingtian and others, knowing that what Guangchengzi said was the truth, he bowed his head slightly, and did not speak.

The Antarctic Immortal Weng said: "The disciple thinks that what Ziya said is feasible. I teach those who seek to kill and rob, and luck also. If the Western Zhou Dynasty can be used to eliminate the Great Shang. In the end, I will teach alone. It's the biggest victory. Why do you need to fight hard with the sect? However, if this is the case, it will not be easy for the master to finish killing and robbing. ”

The words of the Antarctic Immortal Weng reached the heart of the Circle Beginning Heavenly Venerable, the saint is the body of the immortal body, even if there is a fight in the killing and tribulation, it is impossible to damage the fundamentals. Therefore, the saints value nothing more than the safety of the disciples and the luck of the religion. The number of days is disordered though. However, the six saints jointly calculated that on the same day, a holy lord was born in Xiqi, and Zhou Xingshang was destroyed, so he sent Jiang Ziya to Xiqi to support Ji Fa. It is to seek the luck of the great Zhou Dynasty in the future.

Now that the twelve disciples are walking on the ground, they can no longer support the death, so they simply devote all their energy to this plot of luck. If it is really according to the plan of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the great merchants are destroyed, and finally the teachings are expounded, then the teachings are the biggest winners. Compared with the victory or defeat of the temporary struggle between the sect and the Western religion, it is of little significance. But the war in the human world is only a part of the killing and robbery, how can we take advantage of the war in the human world to completely end the killing and robbery. Let the teachings be the ultimate victor?

Jiang Ziya remembered a few key words that the cockroach reminded him of "unintentionally". After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Master." The disciple has a word, but he doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun glanced at Jiang Ziya with some surprise and said, "You can talk about it." ”

Jiang Ziya said: "According to what the master said, killing and robbing is nothing more than the relisting of the Heavenly Dao and the return of the gods. In the human world, there are also many people with deep roots, and this war in the human world will have countless losses, and they can be filled with a considerable number of gods. As for the number of Xuandao immortals on the list...... Shizun can plan the battle of the three sects of immortals separately and carry it out simultaneously, but regardless of victory or defeat, this battle is only about life and death, and the biggest goal is to be on the list to complete the killing. No matter which side wins the battle of the immortals, as soon as the battle of the human world is over, Shang destroys Zhou Xing, and I respect my teaching, and I can become the ultimate victor. The disciple is stupid, if there is a gaffe this time, please forgive me. ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun didn't expect this "useless" disciple to be able to say this truth unexpectedly, and his head was the Tao, and his heart was moved when he heard it.

Red sperm praised: "Ziyaduan's good plan! This plan is bright and dark, and the battle of Xuandao is used as a cover, but secretly it relies on the victory of the Western Zhou Dynasty to win a complete victory!

Jiang Ziya thought of the wind and analyzed it, and said: "If there is no cause of Taoism, you should be eighty percent sure." ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun personally counted the Western Zhou Dynasty to destroy the Shang back then, and he was convinced of this, and secretly said that this was not the will of heaven?

"Ziya's plan is very good," the Antarctic Immortal nodded: "It's just that the sect interception behind the big business is currently in the upper hand, and the Tongtian sage is only afraid that it will be difficult to agree to this festival, and I hope that the master will communicate with the saints of the Western Sect, Bajing Palace, and Wa Palace, as long as the five saints agree to this method, then the sectarian saint will not be stubborn, and as Ziya said, Dashang has the Jinjiling victory in front, and he has the intention of underestimating the enemy, and he will not oppose this policy." ”

"Western Sect?" Yuan Shi Tianzun's eyes showed a cold light, "You asked me to compromise with the two of them and Zhun Ti?"

Antarctic Immortal Weng said: "Yes, Shizun not only wants to compromise this time, but also wants to unite with the Western Sect against the Interception Sect in the future Battle of Xuandao, the more balanced the strength of the two sides, the greater the casualties...... It's enough to deal with it......"

Yuan Shi Tianzun had already understood the meaning of the Antarctic Immortal Weng Land, nodded secretly, and said: "Although this plan is feasible, it must not be cautious. Since the Western Sect sent Nagandapo here, it must have wanted to use the female color to confuse Ji Fa, and in the future, it will compete with our Sect for luck, so it should not be underestimated, and it must be made that Martial King abide by the promise of exclusive exposition. If he is confused by women, I will teach and act, even if it succeeds, will it not be cheaper for Western teaching in the end? This matter is well thought out, and the camera should not be rushed. ”

The immortals nodded again and again, and Yuan Shi Tianzun then showed a thoughtful look, and was silent for a long time.

A few hours later, the White Crane Boy left the Jade Void Palace with a mysterious person wearing a cloak and Jiang Ziya's four dissimilarities and went down the mountain.

PS: Last night, I helped the mourning hall keep vigil, stayed up all night, and I didn't come back until noon, and I worked overtime in the afternoon to catch up with the update, some late, please forgive me. I'm very tired today, so I'll do it here.
