Chapter 7: Beibo Hou Chonghou Hu
Chaoge in the capital city of Great Shang Dynasty and Xianqing Hall in the imperial palace.
Emperor Yi, the current leader of the Great Shang Dynasty, was lying on the dragon couch. He had just taken the decoction prepared by the imperial physician. The eunuch in charge of the chamber was standing by his side.
Emperor Yi coughed for a while, and then coughed up a pool of blood. The eunuch was about to call the imperial doctor, but he was stopped by Emperor Yi.
"Help Gu get up." The eunuch in the chamber hurriedly took the pillow, helped Emperor Yi get up, and leaned against the dragon couch.
"Step back!" Di Yi stood up to catch his breath and waved his hand to signal the eunuch to step back.
"Your Majesty..." The chamberlain eunuch looked worried.
"Go ahead."
The eunuch who served in the chamber did not dare to say anything more, so he had to bow and exit the hall.
After the eunuch in the chamber closed the palace door, Emperor Yi stretched out his hand and groped on the beams of the dragon couch. I don't know where he pressed, and a mechanism would pop up on the beams of the dragon couch.
Emperor Yi took out a feather from it with great effort.
A colorful feather from a peacock. B holds the colorful feather, then brings it close to the lamp and lights it.
In a moment, the colorful feathers burned out.
Whoosh!
A figure flashed past, and there was another person in the hall.
The person who came was tall and straight, with handsome features and elegant temperament, but he was dressed in colorful robes, which was very eye-catching.
"Ahem, cough, cough... Emperor Yi has seen the Immortal Protector of the Country." Emperor Yi actually said when he saw the person coming.
The visitor actually took it calmly, and with a casual wave of his hand, a colorful divine light enveloped Emperor Yi, disappearing at the touch of a touch.
Di Yi's complexion improved significantly.
"The king's life is probably less than ten days." The visitor didn't have any extra words, as if he already knew why Emperor Yi invited him here.
"Hey... I already know the life limit of Gu."
Emperor Yi sighed quietly. "I have invited the Immortal Master to come here because of the inheritance of Great Shang. I would also like to ask the Immortal Master Protecting the Country to give me some advice."
"Prince Xin is both wise and brave, and can be entrusted to the world."
The Immortal Protector of the Country is the guardian of the Great Shang lineage. He has been worshiped by the royal family of the Great Shang for generations. As early as the Xia Dynasty, he has been guarding their lineage. Each generation of emperors will consult the Immortal Protector of the Country for advice on the issue of successors.
After the Immortal Protector of the Country finished speaking, the figure disappeared into the main hall, as if he had never appeared before.
"Come here!" Di Yi calmed down and shouted outside the hall.
The eunuch who served in the chamber hurriedly opened the door and came in.
"Summon the prince back to the palace quickly! He will return within nine days!" Emperor Yi issued an order.
"Ah... yes!" The eunuch in the chamber was shocked when he heard this. Although he didn't know why, he guessed a little bit and hurriedly responded to the order.
"Go and do it yourself!" Di Yi added afterward.
"My slave obeys the order!" the eunuch in charge responded hurriedly.
…
Night falls.
The remnants of Hijikata Capital were basically wiped out, people's hearts gradually stabilized, and Hijikata Kingdom was completely controlled by Yin Xin.
"Report! Beibeihou Chonghou Hu has led his army outside the city!"
"Xuan!" Yin Xin stood outside the main hall, with Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying guarding the two sides.
Northern Bohou Chonghou Hu, dressed in armor and a red robe, walked towards him with long strides.
"I, Chonghou Hu, come to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! I am late with my troops, please punish Your Highness!" Chonghou Hu approached, knelt down on one knee, and saluted respectfully.
Yin Xin looked at Chonghou Hu at the foot of the steps. He was the leader of the two hundred princes in the north. The Romance of the Gods recorded that Chonghou Hu had always been unethical and was a sycophant. Many princes in the north looked down on him, but he was one of the four great princes. The only one among them was King Zhou of Shang, who could be said to be his best friend.
Although it was recorded in Fengshen Yanyi, Yin Xin did not completely believe it. Some things need to be experienced first-hand to truly know.
"Chonghou Tiger."
Yin Xin muttered silently in his heart, flipped over the Faith Luobao money in his hand, and began to deduce his loyalty to Chonghou Hu.
In just a short moment, the results of the Luobao money deduction flashed, and eight of the ten stars lit up.
Such loyalty was enough to make Yin Xin happy. He quickly walked down the steps and helped Chonghou Hu up. "Why did the Marquis say this? Please get up quickly."
"Old minister, thank you, Your Highness!" Chonghou Hu said to Yin Xin solemnly with one hand on his chest.
Chonghou Hu was ordered to lead his army to cooperate with Yin Xin in the conquest of Tufang Kingdom. After receiving the military order, Chonghou Hu summoned his troops and horses to come. He wanted to win a jackpot and show off in front of the wealthy prince, but he never thought that Yin Xin would act too quickly.
, he had captured Hijikata Kingdom before he arrived, which caught Chonghou Hu a little off guard, which is why he sued.
"The Marquis has been tired of traveling all the way, so he will camp outside the city to rest. Tomorrow the King will take care of the Marquis!" Yin Xin patted Chonghou Hu on the shoulder and said sincerely.
"How does this make..."
Chonghou Hu would have been scolded by Yin Xin, but he never thought that Yin Xin would treat him like this, which made him feel flattered.
"The Marquis is sitting in the north and guarding one side. He is a great contributor to our great business. Moreover, I will need to rely more on the Marquis in the future. How can I not do this?" Yin Xin said with a smile.
"Old minister, I will do my best to do it." Chonghou Hu said solemnly, clasping his fists.
How could Chonghou Hu not understand the meaning of Yin Xin's words? This was exactly what he wanted.
The two hit it off immediately.
Yin Xin patted Chonghou Hu's shoulder heavily and turned around to return to the palace.
Chonghou Hu watched Yin Xin farewell, bowed solemnly and saluted, exited the capital of Tufang Kingdom, and ordered the northern army to set up camp.
Return to the main hall.
Yin Xin took the faith treasure money in his hand and deduced it again. Unexpectedly, the ninth star under Chonghou Hu had actually lit up. This was something Yin Xin had not expected.
Yin Xin was so happy that he never thought about completely regaining Chonghou Hu in a few words. Although Chonghou Hu may not be able to do anything great, he is one of the four major princes after all. He is stationed in the north and can still intimidate one party.
Far away in the capital city of Chaoge, there is still the doctor's mansion.
The linen old man stood in the yard, with a gray bird on his wrist. The gray bird kept chirping and then flew away after a while.
The old man frowned slightly.
"Father, what happened?" The strong man Xilai looked at the old man's appearance and couldn't help but stop and ask.
"The news just came that the Hijikata Kingdom was destroyed and Phoenix Pheasant was not dead, but it fell into the hands of the Crown Prince. Crown Prince Xin really has two hands!" A ray of light shot out of the old man's eyes, and he clenched his old hands.
"What are father's plans?" Evil Lai asked.
"Send someone to spread the news of Feng Pheasant's capture to the Xuanyuan Tomb outside Chaoge City. The three sisters are brothers and sisters, so they shouldn't refuse to save them even if they die!" The old man pursed his lips and said calmly.
"Father is wise." Hearing these words, Erlai couldn't help but admire the old man sincerely.
"There is also news from the palace that His Majesty is dying. A secret decree has been sent to summon the Prince back to the palace urgently. This is our last chance!" The old man said calmly as he looked towards the north with deep eyes.
"My child, let's make arrangements now!" Evilai responded hurriedly.
Three days later.
Two women appeared on the capital street of Hijikata City, both of them had peerless looks. They were dressed in Taoist robes, but their graceful figures could not be concealed.
