Xiqi Castle, Ji Kao Mansion.

Sitting in the back garden enjoying flowers and tea, a stunningly beautiful woman stood beside him, and when he ran out of tea, she lifted the teapot to fill it for him.

At this moment, the breeze in the back garden blew, and Jiang Shang's hand-cranked blue and white feather fan came with the wind, after seeing this scene, Jiang Shang chuckled and said: "Accompanied by beauties, tasting tea and enjoying flowers, the eldest prince is really good Yaxing." ”

Ji Kao's face was indifferent from beginning to end, obviously Jiang Shang's arrival was already in his calculations, I saw him slowly put down the teacup in his hand, coughed lightly and waved to the woman next to him and said, "Ahem...... I have something to discuss with Mr. Jiang Shang, so you can step down first, Jiang Hua!"

At this time, we suddenly realized that this woman was exactly the same as the concubine Jiang in the palace of the king of Xu, except for the difference in temperament, there was almost no difference between the two, and Jiang Shang was not the slightest surprised at her storage, just because Jiang Shang actually knew her storage for a long time.

This woman named Jiang Hua, to be precise, is Jiang Hua himself, Jiang Shang entered the palace that day to treat Jiang Hua, who was possessed by a thousand-year-old fox spirit, and saved Jiang Hua's soul that was about to dissipate, and instructed her to wait for Ji Kao's arrival, but I don't know how Ji Kao got her soul and reunited her body for her, don't look at Jiang Hua at this time seems to be no different from ordinary people, but in fact, her body is a spirit body condensed by aura, which can be regarded as a ghost cultivation in disguise.

Jiang Hua retired. Jiang Hua put down the teapot in her hand when she heard this, and then left slowly, but when she walked out of the back garden, she suddenly glanced back at Jiang Shang, and that look contained a lot of meaning, but there was no gratitude that should have appeared......

Jiang Shang sat opposite Ji Kao, unceremoniously reached out and took the teacup, poured himself a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, he suddenly said: "Nanbohou E Chongyu is dead." ”

"Isn't this qiē all in your calculations?" Ji Kao said without surprise when he heard this: "Chaoge's secret agent sent back information, and the old prime minister Shang Rong told the old man to return to his hometown a few days ago...... When he left, he handed over a superstitious letter to the general Yin Po, asking him to forward it to the king of Zhou, and after that, only a month later, E Chongyu, one of the three dukes, died...... If what I expected is right, then Shang Rong should be your person!"

"It's just a paper-like god, not enough to worry about. Jiang Shang shook his head slightly and said, he didn't have the slightest intention to cover it up.

Ji Kao's eyes were deep when he heard this, and he said slowly: "Ahem...... As Jiang Shang, you have been cultivating in the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain for forty years, and it is impossible for you to leave Kunlun Mountain during these forty years, nor can you teleport any items outside the mountain, because then you will attract the attention of your sage master...... Therefore, Shang Rong's chess piece was planted by you forty years ago, and the purpose is the same as when you incarnated as Jiang Shang, in order to take the initiative of this divine calamity in your own hands!"

"In the entire Fengshen, the order of Shang Rong's appearance is very rare, and it is even more true that he died in the Nine Palaces early in the ninth round, but he is the initiator of the request for incense from the Nuwa Palace, the king of Xu...... In other words, if the Divine Tribulation is the killing tribulation that the saints descended to make up for the number of Zhou Tian gods, then the key to unlocking this killing tribulation is Shang Rong!"

"In that case, why do I want Shang Rong, a chess piece, to return to his hometown?" Jiang Shang asked with an indifferent smile: "Shang Rong is the prime minister of Yin Shang, and he is also one of the old ministers of Emperor Yituo, who is deeply trusted by the king of Zhou and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, if he continues to stay in Chaoge, wouldn't it be more conducive to me to control the situation?"

"Because if that's the case, wouldn't it be too boring?" Ji Kao stared at Jiang Shang and said, "Although you are a superego formed by the condensation of reason and calmness, it stands to reason that all your thoughts should start from reason...... But it is 'lonely yin does not grow, lonely yang does not grow', the most rational you, in fact, also have the craziest side in your heart, the situation under your control is too boring, so you want to muddy the water, so that all qiē out of the original trajectory, so that you can experience greater fun!"

"Actually, from the moment you left Kunlun Mountain, you deliberately didn't follow Jiang Shang's original trajectory...... Originally, Jiang Shang was supposed to open a fortune-telling photo studio, but you deliberately opened a medical hall, and Jiang Shang was not valued by King Xu, but you cough cough...... Originally, Jiang Shang should have staged a trick of the wisher taking the bait on the shore of Weishui seven years later, but you not only helped me rescue Ji Chang from Jinli seven years in advance, but also came directly to Ji Chang's side...... You want a god with a different trajectory!"

"I have to say that Shang Rong coughed ahem...... It is indeed a good move, you used Shang Rong's secret letter as an introduction to stir up the entire Yin Shang court...... In the past, Emperor Yi Tuo's six ministers, Taishi Wen Zhongyuan was in Beihai to quell the chaos, and he could not return to the court in the short term, the prime minister Shang Rong told the old man to return to his hometown, and the three princes died, escaped, and were placed under house arrest. ”

"In this way, isn't there no change in Yiqiē?" Jiang Shang shook his fan and said: "The tyrant is in power, the fox demon is in chaos, and Yiqiē will return to its original trajectory, but the time is only seven years earlier." ”

"Of course it's different. Ji Kao shook his head and said, "Just because the time is seven years in advance, the thousand-year-old fox spirit coughs and coughs...... The impact on the king is not very big, although he is a little stubborn now, but he is far from the mediocre tyrant that the world scolds, although he forced Ji Chang away, and killed E Chongyu because of your calculations, but cough cough...... But from the fact that he was able to force the princes of the 36th Route of the West to attack Xiqi with just a few threats, it can be seen that the princes of the world are still not completely disappointed in him. ”

"On one side is the Zhou Dynasty, which has just risen, commanded by Ji Chang, the lord of benevolence, and supported by the teachings...... On the other hand, the Shang Dynasty is strong, controlled by the domineering king Shang, and supported by the sect, so it is as ......strong as an enemy," Ji Kao said, and looked at Jiang Shang with deep eyes and said: "For you, isn't it the most interesting to defeat the strong with the weak?"

Jiang Shang was silent for a moment, and suddenly said meaningfully to Ji Kao: "...... Sure enough, the only one in the world who knows me best and is the most suitable to be my opponent is you!"

Ji Kao said: "The person who knows himself best in the world will never be himself, so I don't know you, and you don't know me, maybe for you, I am your opponent, but for me, you are just my obsession!"

"Obsessed......" Jiang Shang kept recalling this word, his expression on his face was unpredictable, and after a while, Jiang Shang reached out and picked up the teacup on the table, drank the tea in the cup very boldly, and then put down the teacup and got up to leave, but when he walked to the garden gate, he suddenly turned around and said inexplicably: "I only hope that your "Emperor's Shocking Treasure Book" is not just a cultivation of "Reincarnation"!"

After Jiang Shang left, Ji Kao suddenly smiled and said, "Ha, I really can't hide it from you, but I don't know the most important key point...... Do you notice it?"

Nanbohou E Chongyu died in the palace, and the ghost marquis Jiang Huan was placed under house arrest, after these two news came out, it immediately shook the entire wilderness, and soon after, there were further rumors spread rapidly among the people, and it was rumored that the king had already eradicated the heart of the three princes, but because of the old prime minister Shang Rong and the Taishi Wen Zhong's storage, the king of Zhou was afraid and did not dare to act rashly, but with Wen Zhong's conquest of Yuan Futong in Beihai, after Shang Rong told the old man to return to his hometown, the king of Zhou, who was not suppressed, finally started, and Xibohou Ji Chang was aware of the conspiracy of the king of Zhou, so he had to flee from the court song overnight, and the king was afraid that his conspiracy would be leaked, so he started in advance in the name of crusading against Ji Chang, put E Chongyu into the court song, and finally brutally killed.

After learning about this, the king was furious, he understood that this so-called rumor must have been fabricated by someone with ulterior motives, he was only targeting Ji Chang from the beginning, Nanbohou E Chongyu and ghost marquis Jiang Huan were just handy, but this rumor was characterized from the beginning as a faint king who killed ministers indiscriminately in order to hold power, which made the king of Zhou, who has always regarded himself as a Ming king, how could he stand it, so the king immediately ordered Yin Broken and Lei Kai to be responsible for searching for the source of the rumor.

After the two received the order, they went their separate ways, Yin Rui was responsible for leading the Chaoge garrison to investigate the source of the rumors, all those who were suspected, they were immediately arrested without asking about their identity, and then handed over to Lei Kai for interrogation, the cooperation between the two can be said to be seamless, but the helpless people who walked the rumors were too cunning, and half a month passed, and the two of them got nothing.

Chaoge City, Yin Ruined House

Yin Rui and Lei Kai, who are proud of their martial arts on weekdays, are looking at each other at this time, just because the two of them know in their hearts that if they can't find the source of the rumors, the two of them will definitely have no good fruit to eat when the king asks, as for finding a scapegoat at random, this kind of thing can only be thought about in their hearts, if they really dare to do this, the matter will not reach the ears of the king tomorrow, after all, the intelligence work of the killer organization Huanzhulou directly under the Yin Shang royal family is not in vain.

Lei Kai sighed and said: "Alas, there has been a letter from the palace, and when the court meets tomorrow, the king will inquire about this matter, it seems that you and I have a good life, this is the end." ”

Yin Po also said helplessly: "Alas, I thought this was an opportunity to please the king, but I didn't expect the other party to hide so deeply, it seems that you and I are really planted this time." ”

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties walked into the house, looked at the sullen two and smiled: "Why are you two so discouraged, why don't you let Fei Lian come up with an idea for the two of you?"
