Chapter 582: The Old Emperor and the New Emperor
‘When I looked at these palaces from the sky before, I thought they were just so-so. Only when I got closer did I realize how big they were. ’
Li Pingan looked up.
He changed into a brand new robe and looked like a little adult.
After entering the palace of the Shang Dynasty, the eldest brother Ji Kao was taken directly to the palace of the king, and he was brought here by the palace servants.
The four sons of Xibo Hou were not qualified to pay homage to the king.
Li Pingan was also happy with this, so that he would not have to kneel down to pay homage to the king of Shang.
He was also a celestial emperor.
Of course, for the sake of his own stability and better role-playing, it would be okay to pay homage.
The palace servant who delivered the message ran over quickly and said to Li Pingan with a smile: "Mr. Dan, the prince has summoned you. Don't talk nonsense later. If you offend the prince, the prince will punish you."
"Oh, yes."
Li Pingan bowed in a proper manner and said in a baby voice:
"Please lead the way."
"This posture is quite decent," the palace servant said with a smile, and turned to invite Li Pingan in.
Li Pingan stepped over the threshold that reached his knees with some effort, and looked at the layout of the hall curiously.
This hall is square, more than ten feet long and wide, with thick wooden pillars inside, all painted dark red, and the complex and beautiful wooden structure can be seen on the roof of the hall.
It is quite artistic.
Expensive gold items can be seen everywhere in the hall. Although it is daytime, the central area of the hall with poor lighting has also been lit.
These lamps are all shaped like black birds soaring with wings spread out. Each one is different. Each lamp has six or seven candlesticks. The oil burning inside should be extracted from animals. It looks very expensive.
Everywhere in the hall is extremely luxurious.
Li Pingan looked and saw one of the protagonists of the Taoist Immortal Fengshen Jie sitting behind the low table in the main seat, leaning on the soft couch to read a book.
Prince Shang, Zishou.
That is, the reincarnation of Donghuang Taiyi.
It can be seen that Zishou's face is somewhat similar to Donghuang Taiyi. This is the gradual influence of the soul on the body, but in the end it will inevitably be different from the previous Donghuang Taiyi.
It stands to reason that Donghuang Taiyi cannot practice after reincarnation, nor should he practice.
But Li Pingan still felt a trace of spiritual fluctuations on Donghuang Taiyi. Donghuang Taiyi should have been unable to resist and tried to absorb spiritual power to temper his body.
However, the degree of tempering was very slight, and other people would only think that this prince had learned some of the ancient methods of nourishing qi.
Li Pingan was looking at Donghuang Taiyi;
Donghuang Taiyi was also looking at Li Pingan.
Donghuang Taiyi, who had originally prepared to use the fourth son of Xibohou to show his brutal side, suddenly didn't know how to start at this moment.
This little chic, looks quite cool.
Donghuang Taiyi felt that the child in front of him was full of spiritual light and spiritual energy. If he was sent to practice, he might become a master of the human race. His big eyes rolled around, and he looked like a smart ghost.
Quite likable.
Ahem, brutal.
Donghuang Taiyi threw the bamboo slips in his hand on the low table, picked up the wine bottle filled with fresh juice, and said calmly: "Ji Dan, the fourth son of Xibohou?"
"Yeah!"
Li Pingan couldn't bear to look at himself who was deliberately acting cute.
Cute protection is also the self-protection ability of many animals in nature.
Donghuang Taiyi sneered: "You are so bold. Why don't you kneel when you see this prince!"
Li Pingan cursed in his heart but couldn't avoid it. He knelt down honestly, with his two little hands tucked into his wide sleeves.
This look doesn't look like a salute, but he is going to shout "This life is unbearable".
He said: "Ji Dan pays homage to the prince."
"Is the etiquette of Xibohou Mansion so bad?"
Donghuang Taiyi went crazy: "Come here!"
Two armored soldiers rushed into the palace gate immediately!
Li Pingan thought that this guy had seen through him, and was about to warn Donghuang Taiyi not to make trouble, but Donghuang Taiyi hesitated.
'Five years old...'
'Is it cruel to torture a five-year-old child? '
'Can't the confusion and fear in this child's eyes awaken your conscience? ’
Donghuang Taiyi frowned and thought, then waved his hand and said, "Bring him a table and chair. Since he is the study companion chosen by the king, we should try to see if he can write."
Li Pingan breathed a sigh of relief.
He always felt that Donghuang Taiyi was strange. When he called "someone" just now, his expression was obviously a little fierce.
After the fierceness, he thought and hesitated, and then became a little helpless.
What's going on?
With a little trepidation, Li Pingan sat down at the low table next to him, picked up a piece of bamboo strips, picked up the carving knife called "pen", and carefully wrote eight bronze characters.
——The so-called bronze characters mostly refer to the systematic characters engraved on bronze ware.
What he wrote was, Xuanniao gave birth to Shang, God bless the king.
Donghuang Taiyi smiled and said, "Your handwriting is quite square. Did your father teach you that?"
Li Ping'an whispered, "My father writes every day. I learned it by watching."
"Oh?"
Donghuang Taiyi curled his lips slightly, "Does Xibo Hou really write every day?"
"Yeah," Li Ping'an nodded like pounding garlic, "I'm only five years old. If I lie at the age of five, I'll be found out."
"You're right... No."
Donghuang Taiyi looked at the little Ji Dan in front of him with a smile.
His father only told him that the destined person of the Zhou Kingdom was Ji Fa, the second son of Ji Chang; but how could he see the little Ji Dan in front of him, who was also so smart.
‘Probably due to the movement of heaven, in order to support the Zhou Kingdom, many talented people were sent down. ’
Donghuang Taiyi thought so:
‘Since the Zhou Dynasty to Shang Dynasty was the direction set by my father, then I should help Zhou Guo. ’
He nodded and said slowly: "Come here, give these eight words written by Mr. Dan to my father to make him happy. Remember, you must say that Mr. Ji Dan is only five years old. Five years old is You can’t fool anyone.”
"yes."
The palace man brought the carving knife and bamboo strips to the front.
Li Ping'an almost laughed out loud when he saw Donghuang Taiyi acting like this.
Is this guy still the ancient emperor who defeated all the ancestral witches? Why does it feel like he, a mortal prince, is a bit reserved?
Well, this seems to be a joke.
"Young Master Dan..."
"Prince, just call me Ji Dan."
"Okay, Ji Dan," Donghuang Taiyi said slowly, "I'll have someone arrange a place for you later... You can sleep alone, right?"
"Yes prince!"
"Okay then, let's get on with it."
Donghuang Taiyi waved his hand, and Li Pingan stood up in a decent manner, made a big circle with his hands and arched them in front of him, saluted Donghuang Taiyi, turned around and walked away.
Ah, cruelty...
Donghuang Taiyi raised his hand to his forehead and sat there, lost in thought.
After not doing bad things for many years, I am really getting used to it.
He didn't know who the five-year-old child who just came to him was; he didn't even know that this five-year-old child actually knew his roots.
Little Ji Dan, who was placed in a luxurious attic, was also deep in thought at this moment.
…
If you want to control the Taoist Immortal's God-conferring Tribulation, it's best for the Immortal and the Mortal to grasp it with both hands.
He became Ji Dan through the reincarnation of a ray of soul, and easily controlled the Ji family of the Zhou Kingdom. If he could find a way to control the military and political power of the Shang Kingdom later, both the pros and cons on the stage of conferring gods would be defeated by him. Got it.
It is a pity that Donghuang Taiyi is now reincarnated as Prince Zhou.
Ah, King Zhou was a contemptuous name for Zi Shou. It would be more appropriate to call him Emperor Xin.
It's not that Li Ping'an has never thought about the fact that Donghuang Taiyi was sent as a chess piece by the transcendent teacher.
But doing so would harm the Chaos Clock.
Li Ping'an wants to win over Donghuang Taiyi and Chaos Bell to his side, and now is the best opportunity.
If you find a way to establish friendship with Donghuang Taiyi, you can increase your chances of winning when facing the transcendent teacher.
Even a slight improvement in the chance of winning is very precious to this world.
Secondly, even if he exposes this matter, it is unlikely that anyone will deal with Donghuang Taiyi. When a sage plays chess, he usually allows black and white stones to be played on the chessboard. He usually plans the layout and takes it all with one move.
Thirdly, Li Ping'an personally admires Donghuang Taiyi.
In order to live up to his adoptive father's trust, this man fought hard to kill the twelve ancestral witches; he felt guilty about the incident and felt that he was guilty, so he would rather die and give up his escape.
When Emperor Jun fell step by step, he also tried to persuade him repeatedly, and when he failed to persuade him, he tried to restore Emperor Jun's tragedy.
When faced with a beauty of the Nine-tailed Fox's caliber throwing herself into his arms, he could still slap her away...
This is not recommended.
After all, the nine-tailed fox didn't do anything wrong, he just fell in love with a man he shouldn't have loved.
He was unable to directly control Donghuang Taiyi, which added a lot of uncertainty to the Shang Kingdom.
Of course, the other chess pieces he planted, such as Li Jing and the four Mo brothers, will naturally be used one by one in the future.
‘What is Li Jing doing? ’
With such thoughts in his heart, Li Ping'an controlled his little body to close his eyes and fall asleep. His mind returned to his original body, and he took out the sky surveying mirror and looked at Chentangguan.
The picture is suddenly filled with mosaics.
Li Pingan clasped the survey mirror with his backhand, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
That's right, it was late at night, and there were no ordinary entertainment facilities. The couple lived a normal life... quite normal.
Don’t look at anything that’s inappropriate, don’t look at anything that’s inappropriate.
Li Ping'an deliberately waited for an hour before continuing to investigate with the survey mirror.
Then he discovered... Li Jing had already been meditating in the courtyard, and had even entered a state of trance!
‘Next time Li Jing performs meritorious service, please reward him with more elixirs that can strengthen his foundation and cultivate his vitality. ’
Li Ping'an thought this, and then clicked on the mirror, and a weak power of heaven penetrated into Li Jing's heart.
Li Jing, who was practicing, was startled for a moment. His soul looked up and saw a golden light falling, and Li Ping'an's shadow slowly formed from the spiritual platform.
"Li Jing pays homage to His Majesty!"
Li Jing Yuanshen shouted excitedly.
Li Ping'an smiled and nodded, and said slowly: "How are things going?"
"Your Majesty!"
Li Jing said quickly:
"The last general has established a firm foothold in Nanzhou and has become the commander-in-chief of the region!
"Everything is going well here. The place where I am located is located at Chentangguan, close to the East China Sea. It is the easternmost pass of the Shang Kingdom and is an indentation in the eastern part of Nanzhou.
"The north of Chentangguan is the land of Dongyi. There are hundreds of large tribes, which have been quite active recently. Chentangguan is also directly subordinate to the Shang Kingdom rather than the vassal states. Its main function is to curb the development of Dongyi to the south!
"For the sake of convenience, I married the daughter of an old general at Chentangguan. She also made many military exploits and was approved by the King of Shang to become the new general!"
"Well, okay."
Li Pingan nodded slowly: "Do you have children?"
"I now have a son named Jin Zha, who is just six years old!"
"Yes," Li Pingan nodded with a smile, and said directly, "In a few years, the Chanjiao will enter Nanzhou in large numbers to recruit disciples. Your son should be selected by the Chanjiao immortals. This is a blessing."
Li Jing was also stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood Li Pingan's meaning, bowed his head and said: "I will teach my son well in the next few years. I was born as a heavenly general and I must be proud of the heavenly court!"
"You can do it yourself."
Li Pingan said:
"I see that your wife has also achieved some cultivation. Remember to remind her not to let her expose your whereabouts.
"How are the four brothers of the Mo family?"
"They have entered Jiameng Pass and will soon be able to get the position of general!"
Li Jing explained:
"In this mortal world, because there are too many princes, the places where the Shang Kingdom stationed troops have become strong passes. Strong passes guard the important roads in order to prevent these princes from making trouble.
"The four of them have always been low-key and have never shown their magic.
"After the changes in the Juetian formation, our strength can no longer be exerted to one hundredth of the original."
"My progress in cultivation is not slow," Li Pingan nodded with satisfaction, and said slowly, "This time I came, first, to see how you are doing, and second, to give you a task."
"I will obey your orders!"
"Don't be excited," Li Pingan smiled and waved his hand, "If you have the opportunity to come to Chaoge later, bring more gold and silver treasures. This allows you to use fairy magic to get some ordinary treasures. Remember to get more."
Ah?
Li Jing was a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything. He just felt that the things that His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven had told him must have a deep meaning.
Li Jing bowed and said, "I will go all out to get more ordinary treasures!"
"Okay, if you don't have the opportunity to come to Chaoge City, don't force it. "
Li Pingan said slowly:
"There is one more thing. Elder Yan Sheng has been thinking about you a lot recently. I will leave you a spell here. You can activate this spell and send a dream to Elder Yan Sheng.
"Just report that you are safe. Don't tell anyone anything I asked you to do."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Jing's eyes were full of warmth.
He also missed his master a little.
Li Pingan retreated from Li Jing's side and went to the four generals of the Mo family to take a look. He found that the four generals of the Mo family were doing well and were only one step away from the position of general.
That step was to wait for the old general to die of illness.
However, compared to Li Jing marrying the daughter of the old general, the four generals of the Mo family used some hints on the old general to ensure their own promotion.
This is not a problem.
In terms of military exploits alone, the four generals of the Mo family have four or five times more than the sum of all the other generals in Jiameng Pass.
Li Pingan asked Li Jing to bring more treasures when he came to Chaoge, naturally in order to build a power network through Li Jing.
However, although the generals from other places have real power, they are not really big figures in Chaoge City.
What to do?
He also learned from Li Jing and found a great nobleman of Shang State to marry into his family? He was only five years old, and this method was too absurd.
Li Pingan took the sky-patrol mirror and began to study the noble forces in Chaoge City. After a long time of investigation, he roughly sorted out the power structure in Chaoge City.
Just as he wanted to put away the sky-patrol mirror, he felt something inexplicably in his heart, and took the sky-patrol mirror to shine on his little clone.
Hmm?
In the attic of the palace where Xiao Ji Dan stayed, a figure sneaked up and slowly approached the bed of Xiao Ji Dan.
The maids and servants brought from Xiqi City were all sleeping soundly in the outer room and downstairs at this moment.
And the figure took out a sharp bronze dagger from his sleeve and looked at Xiao Ji Dan's neck viciously.
Li Pingan: ...
Should he wake up, or shouldn't he?
