Time flies, and a lot has happened in the last few months. 【】

Sanxiao's injuries have healed, and he has also gained the strange power of the supreme demon body, although the mixed yuan Jin Dou and Jin Jiao scissors cannot be completely repaired for a while, but their own strength has made a big leap.

Biyun Tong'er, who was healed on Jinao Island, finally returned to his roots, recovered and got out of the customs, and became very familiar with the "peers" Caiyun Tongzi and Qingquan Xiaomei on the island. When leaving, the tears were bursting, which made people unbearable. Zhang Zixing discussed with Princess Longji and decided to let Biyun Tong'er stay on Jinao Island first, and then migrate to Xiaoyao Immortal Mansion together in the future.

Yuan Hong got the help of Wu Zhiqi's bones and Zhenyan Zhu, and with the help of Kong Xuan and Duobao Dao people, he finally blended water and fire, blended into one, and his strength was greatly improved. After several adventures in the ice and snow in the base, the energy of the Jade Void Seal was finally completely devoured, and the body seemed to have undergone even more strange changes.

In the Biyou Palace, the Great Array of Rejuvenating Spirits has been completely arranged with the assistance of the Holy Mother of Wudang, who is the best at formation. Under the instruction of the Tongtian Sect Master, the Holy Mother of Wudang also set up several protective formations outside and presided over them in person, even if they were the same people in the Biyou Palace, they could not get close. With the help of the Great Rejuvenation Array, the power of the three emperors was greatly reduced, and the strength was gradually recovering.

And Deng Chanyu of Sanshanguan is finally looking forward to the arrival of "Xiaoyaozi". Zhang Zixing did not hide it anymore and revealed his identity to Deng Jiugong. Deng Jiugong knew that this national teacher turned out to be the "supreme leader" Dashang Tianzi himself, and he was immediately terrified and gave a big gift. Zhang Zixing knew that Deng Jiugong loved his daughter and was loyal, and proposed to him that the current situation was delicate and it was not appropriate to make a noise, so he wanted to secretly marry Deng Chanyu as a free son. Zhang Zixing immediately wrote down the secret decree, canonized Deng Jiugong as the national abbot, and gave a face-to-face lecture on the matter of Sanshan Pass, Deng Jiugong was surprised at first, and then looked at Zhang Zixing's affirmative eyes, and bowed down to receive the order. That night, Zhang Zixing and Deng Chanyu secretly held a wedding, one night of love, and the second day, Deng Chanyu secretly returned to Chaoge, except for Deng Jiugong, the rest of Sanshanguan did not know. Since then, Deng Chanyu has officially become a member of Zhang Zixing's harem.

On the other hand, in the name of national disaster, Ji Fa of the Western Zhou Dynasty increased taxes to the nobles and slave owners of Xiqi, and at the same time, at the suggestion of the wind cockroach, issued a large number of "treasury bonds" and ordered the princes of the southwest to buy them, promising to repay them several times in the future. Ji Fa, who had done everything possible and amassed a large amount of money, did his best to invest funds in the production of new weapons and the building of the army. Many people can see that Western Zhou is desperately brewing an unprecedented war. In this regard, Dashang not only strengthened the defense force of each pass correspondingly, but also Taishi Wenzhong once again personally sat in Bishui Pass and mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses, which had the meaning of taking the lead.

At this time, two long-lost "acquaintances" appeared in Chaoge, and the arrival of these two people can be said to be unexpected by Zhang Zixing, and it was expected - Zijiao and Zihong!

Zijiao and Zihong were expelled and fled on their own initiative after experiencing the joyful turmoil, and now, they actually returned to Chaoge at the same time.

Back then, Zihong molested Huang Feihu's wife Jia Shi, forced Huang Feihu to rebel, and then absconded in fear of crime. Although Zi Hong's move is nothing compared to Zijiao's big crime of "killing his mother", Zhang Zixing knows that Zi Hong was controlled by Xi Mei's charm, lost his surname, and the stand-in who killed Jiang Wenqiang and the three was also caused by spells, but Zijiao was jealous of his brother, and then there was an incident of molesting Jia's family, although there was also a part of Xi Mei, but most of them were due to their own bad surnames.

In the original work, although Yin Hong and Yin Jiao both broke their oaths, aided in abuse, and finally died, there is still a difference between the two. When they were children, the two brothers were also deeply affectionate, but since they were rescued by the two immortals of the Interpretation Sect and accepted as disciples and grew up Chengren, their surnames have changed.

Yin Hong went down the mountain first, was confused by Shen Gongbao, helped to cut down Zhou, and was finally burned to death by introducing Taijitu. Shen Gongbao tempted him at that time with the words "It will be a great cause after a long time", and Yin Hong "listened to Shen Gongbao's words and left the words of the red sperm behind", when mentioning the hatred of Jiang Hou, Shen Gongbao was another sentence "You have become the world", let the revenge, Yin Hong immediately reneged on the oath without hesitation, it can be seen that the great cause and the world are the biggest factors affecting Yin Hong's betrayal.

On the other hand, Yin Jiao, who had been persuaded by Shen Gongbao before, was unmoved, and the sentence "Breaking the difficulty and obeying fate" was very resolute, but then Shen Gongbao said that when his brother Yin Hong was turned into ashes by Taijitu, he had the idea of "Jiang Shang and I swear not to stand together, and we will definitely avenge my brother". From this analysis, Yin Jiao is really a person who values love, and Yin Hong, who is heavy on profit, is by no means a good thing.

In this world, Zijiao's performance is indeed stronger than Zihong, when Zijiao knew that he had caused a big disaster, he did not rely on the jade talisman given by Guangchengzi to escape, but stayed, wanting to apologize to his father for his death, while Zihong fled early in the morning, the difference between them is self-evident.

When Zhang Zixing heard the news that Zijiao and Zihong were asking to see him, he was discussing with the ministers in the nine halls, and he showed a deep expression at the moment.

Bi Gan said: "The two princes were young and ignorant and made mistakes, but after all, they are the blood and blood of His Majesty, the head of the clan, and now that the two of them are back, they must be repentant of the past, why didn't Your Majesty give them a chance?"

Mei Bo also said: "Although Your Majesty is in the prime of life, he has been childless since the two princes. Why doesn't Your Majesty temporarily exempt the two princes from their crimes, carefully examine them, and if they are sure that they have changed their minds, they can choose the best one and set up the crown prince, and the position of the prince will be vacant. ”

Mei Bo's words were very bold, Di Yi was also a prince in his later years when he was seriously ill, and now Zhang Zixing is in good health, far better than the first emperor, Mei Bo actually said so bluntly "guilty", many people sweated for him. Zhang Zixing knew that the people of this era attached great importance to the inheritance of their children, and he, the son of heaven, except for the two cheap sons Zijiao and Zihong, had not come out of the harem in these years, so the long-vacant position of the prince has also become a heart disease for many courtiers. Zhang Zixing didn't blame Mei Bo, anyway, he also wanted to see what the purpose of expounding the two people to "go out of the mountain" was, and announced that the two of them would enter the palace at the moment.

Seeing that he was not guilty, Mei Bo secretly praised that now the lord has indeed recovered his former wisdom, and immediately took the initiative to accuse himself of the crime and return to his original position.

Zijiao and Zihong entered the nine halls, proclaimed themselves guilty ministers, and paid homage to the Son of Heaven.

Zhang Zixing saw that the appearance and figure of these two people had changed, and they seemed to have grown a lot, and asked, "Since you two have been convicted, why don't you reflect on them in a remote wasteland, and return to Chaoge to do something?"

Zijiao replied: "Erchen and younger brother made a big mistake back then, and every time they reflect on their mistakes, they regret it. Later, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to worship two strangers as teachers and learn a skill. Now that they heard that the traitor Ji Fa of the Western Zhou Dynasty was about to move and wanted to make trouble again, the two sons and ministers made up their minds to come to the court at the cost of their crimes, and were willing to contribute to the country and atone for their sins. ”

Zihong also shouted: "Father, the son was young and ignorant, and after committing a mistake, he was afraid and did not dare to face his father, so he fled. Now that the son has repented of his mistakes, please ask my father to give the son a chance to make meritorious contributions!"

At this time, the ministers also spoke and admonished, Zhang Zixing nodded and said: "You two have committed a big crime, you have high hopes, which makes the widow feel sad, and now I am fortunate to have the heart of repentance, and I am willing to contribute to the country, and the widow is also relieved, so I will give you a chance to reform yourself." For the time being, the two of you will be restored to the throne of the princes, and they will still belong to their respective mansions, but you must cultivate your heart and cultivate your surname, and the past will be an example, if you commit it again, the widow will be severely punished!"

Zijiao and Zihong were overjoyed, and quickly knelt down to thank him.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhang Zixing summoned Shang Rong, Bi Gan, Mei Bo, and Jizi to Zhaoxuan Hall to discuss the armament of the Western Zhou Dynasty. At this time, Zihong asked to see him again. Zhang Zixing was quite surprised, and ordered his son to enter. When Zihong saw Shang Rong, Bi Gan, Mei Bo, and Ji Zi beside him, his eyes rolled, he bowed down and cried, calling himself his father, and he once again bitterly confessed his mistakes back then.

Zhang Zixing didn't expect Zihong to ask to see him to admit his mistake, and he didn't know what he really meant, so he casually encouraged a few words in front of the four of them.

After Zihong got up, he swore that he would change his past mistakes, live up to his father's understanding and expectations, and intended Zhang Zixing to show the spells he had learned in the "Inhuman" place. Zhang Zixing saw at a glance that Zihong had reached the peak of the lower level of True Immortals, and deliberately showed curiosity, and together with the four ministers, followed him to the open space outside the hall.

Zihong took out a short dagger, shook it in the wind, and turned into a long sword, and a red and white light faintly appeared on the long sword. Zihong's whole person gradually rose, suspended in the air, and took the long sword out of his hand. The long sword turned into red and white light as if it had been struck by an invisible arm, flew in the air and turned, and finally rushed towards a stone beast statue in the distance, instantly shattering the huge stone carving, and Bigan and the others cheered loudly.

Zihong recalled the long sword, reduced it to a short dagger, and bowed to Zhang Zixing. Zhang Zixing showed a look of great joy: "The emperor has learned such a Taoist technique, why worry about the rebellion of the Western Zhou Dynasty?

The four of Bigan also praised one after another, Zihong won this praise, but his face was silent, saying that he would definitely contribute to the country and solve his father's worries. Zhang Zixing praised him a lot, and finally ordered him to go back to his house to rest.

In fact, how did Zihong know that the immortal sword he cast was very familiar to this "father emperor". This magic weapon, when he was in the South China Sea, almost took Zhang Zixing's life, it was the famous immortal soldier of the red sperm, the god of water and fire! I don't know if the red sperm gave him the yin-yang mirror and the purple ribbon fairy clothes.

Zihong was secretly happy, retreated, and when he left the palace, he accidentally ran into Zijiao. Zijiao seemed taken aback when he saw Zihong. Zihong only said that Zijiao and him also had a common idea, and came to show his father, secretly saying that he had taken the lead this time, and then smiled proudly at his brother and turned away.

After Zijiao completely disappeared from sight, Zijiao entered the palace to ask to see him. When Zhang Zixing heard that Zijiao asked to see him, he secretly calculated, saying that he would discuss important matters with the four ministers, and ordered Zijiao to wait in Longde Palace. The four of Bigan also thought that Zijiao and Zihong were interested in behaving the same, so they couldn't help but smile at each other.

After Zhang Zixing finished discussing with the four ministers, he came to the Longde Palace.

Zijiao saw Zhang Zixing and saluted: "The child will return from his sin, and he will not dare to forget his father's teachings back then. ”

Zhang Zixing looked at Zijiao for a while and asked, "Are Lan Yu and Sun Yu okay?"

Zijiao replied: "My father once said that adversity sees the truth. Although Lan Yu has always been jealous, he has a deep affection for his sons, and even in the most dangerous times, he has never given up. Sun Yu's surname is gentle and takes care of his sons. Now the two daughters have become friends in distress and get along well, and the children can be regarded as enjoying the blessings of all people. In this life, we must treat each other well and never live up to the affection of the two daughters. ”

Zhang Zixing seemed to be unhurried, always talking about him left and right, Zijiao seemed to be in a hurry to tell the inside story, and seemed very anxious. Zhang Zixing saw it in his eyes and nodded secretly. Zijiao couldn't interject, and in a hurry, he knelt on the ground and said: "Father, this time the big business has reached a critical time, and the son of the minister came to the court this time, he really has a secret life, and he wants to be unfavorable to the big business, please listen to the son of the emperor!"

"Get up and speak. ”

But Zijiao refused to get up and insisted on telling the secret.

Zhang Zixing looked at Zijiao with an anxious face, and asked lightly: "Over the years, have you been okay in Taoyuan Cave of Jiuxian Mountain?"

Zijiao was shocked, and only then did he know that this father had long known some things, and immediately stood up with surprise on his face, and replied: "Erchen usually cultivates at night, while Lan Yu and Sun Yu live together at the foot of Jiuxian Mountain, and they have only been reunited once in the past month. ”

Zhang Zixing nodded: "Guangchengzi is the first attack of the Golden Bell Immortal, I don't know what kind of magic weapon you have passed on?"

"The master is very good to his sons, not only teaching what he has learned in his life, but also paying all the magic weapons to his sons. When Guangchengzi was mentioned, Zijiao couldn't help showing respect on his face, and took out all the magic weapons sent by Guangchengzi, and the palace was full of treasures for a while. Zhang Zixing looked carefully, and saw that there was no shortage of Fantian Seal, Sweeping Xia Immortal Clothes, Male and Female Swords, Falling Soul Bell and Xuanbing Order.

Zhang Zixing nodded and said, "Guangchengzi even gave you the Xuanbing order, presumably to give it to you." I don't know what the true meaning of you and Zihong came to sing this time?"

Zijiao didn't know that this father had fought with Guangchengzi back then, and he had captured his master alive, seeing that Zhang Zixing actually recognized the Xuanbing order, he was secretly surprised, and replied: "In the name of the master, the son of the minister came to the court to promote a matter, this matter is very important to my big business, if it is successful, big business should have a big disaster." Zihong worshiped under the door of Uncle Chi Sperm in Yunxiao Cave of Taihua Mountain, and this time he came, presumably it was also related to this matter, but I don't know if there is another mission. Zihong has been smart since he was a child, but he is not calm, if he is confused by his teacher this time, there is something wrong, and he also asks his father to give him a chance to reform himself for the sake of the deceased mother. ”

"Zihong's matter, I have my own score, you don't need to say more. Zhang Zixing was suspicious in his heart, and asked again: "Guang Chengzi asked you to 'promote something'?

When Zijiao said that, Zhang Zixing was stunned, and then laughed, and Zijiao was like falling into a cloud, and he didn't know what to do.

Zhang Zixing finished laughing and said to Zijiao: "This matter is easy to hear! You can do what he tells you." ”

Zijiao hurriedly said: "Father and emperor must not be underestimated, if this policy is established, it must be the ...... of the Western Zhou Dynasty."

Zhang Zixing didn't wait for him to finish, and interrupted: "I don't want to mention this matter for the time being, let me ask you, Guangchengzi treats you with the grace of teaching arts, if he makes you an enemy of my big business, how will you treat it?"

Zijiao said: "Although the matter of the queen mother back then was because of the demon girl, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that the exposition was in collusion with the demon girl, and then accepting the two of us as apprentices also had other plans. Although the master treats me like a mountain, I also know it in my heart. If I am a prince, I am a prince of the Great Shang Dynasty, a descendant of the clan, and I regard the country as the most important thing; if I am selfish, although the teacher's kindness is important, but the teacher has other selfish intentions, how can I be worthy of the grace of my parents? ”

Zhang Zixing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Guangchengzi will give you all the magic weapons, so that you can make an oath?"

Zijiao said disappreciably: "In order to win the trust of the master, Erchen once made an oath of destruction. At that time, it will only be a death to thank the teacher. ”

"You have Lan Yu and Sun Yu, how can you talk about life and death lightly?" Zhang Zixing patted Zijiao's shoulder with satisfaction, "Don't worry too much about the oath, with your father here, I should try my best to keep you safe." When you go home, you should go deep and simple, and remember not to reveal to anyone what you are talking about. ”

Zijiao saw that his father seemed to have a pearl of wisdom in his hands, so he relieved himself and retreated.

In the next few days, Zijiao really went deep and simple, and Ping said that he was cultivating in the palace, and occasionally took Chonglanyu and Sun Yu on a trip. In contrast, Zihong is much more active, this second prince is surnamed smart, and is the best at seizing the opportunity to express himself, sometimes discussing martial arts with Hong Jin and Jiang Wenhuan; sometimes going to Taishi Shangrong and Wang Shubi to ask for advice on national policies, and sometimes he can also put forward some opinions on building surnames. Whether it is to treat nobles or low-ranking officials, Zihong can treat them equally and with sincerity. This positive attitude has been unanimously praised by the ministers, and Zhang Zixing also publicly praised Zihong for being really different from what it used to be, and he is very enterprising.

A group of ministers headed by Fei Zhong and You Hun observed their words and looks, and saw that Zihong seemed to have a bright future, so they secretly showed favor. In a hunting meeting in the eastern suburbs, Zihong's arrow was not missing, and he hit the target, expressing his willingness to use this magic arrow to open the way for the great business to cut Zhou, and said that "if you don't break Xiqi, you will never return", the son of heaven Longyan Dayue, specially sealed Zihong "Pingxi King" title, and finally the low-key prince Zijiao also got the title of "Loyal and Brave King", but the discerning person knows at a glance that Pingxi Prince Hong is the prince who is really valued by the Son of Heaven. Sure enough, soon after, the Son of Heaven issued an edict and ordered the king of Pingxi to go to the court with his ministers to discuss state affairs.

Zihong was proud, and he was also suspicious of Zijiao's low-key, and went to the Zhongyong Mansion many times to inquire. He saw that the eldest brother was either practicing behind closed doors, or hugging left and right, lingering with Chong Lanyu and Sun Yu, and seemed to have no intention of making progress.

Zihong came to the Zhongyong Palace, and when he saw this time and time, the doubts in his heart gradually disappeared, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly that Zijiao was confused in his cultivation in Jiuxian Mountain, and it seemed that after completing the mission of Shibo Guangchengzi, he would return to the teachings. But it's good that you don't pose a threat to yourself when you get it.

In this way, after another period of time, the war book of the Western Zhou Dynasty was finally delivered to Zhang Zixing.

(To be continued)
