"You absolutely can't do that. You and Su Daji haven't seen each other for a long time. Moreover, once a woman enters the palace, her mind will change a lot. As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. Even if you are childhood sweethearts, it is hard to predict what will happen today." Ji Chang was not willing to let his son sneak into the palace. If he was caught, he would be dead!
"Father, you don't understand Daji at all. She is a kind-hearted girl and she won't harm me." Bo Yikao had always been thinking about Su Daji. They were childhood sweethearts and were about to get married, but King Zhou took a fancy to her. Su Daji's father had no choice but to send Su Daji to the palace.
"I know exactly what you are thinking. No one knows a son better than his father. I advise you to give up on Su Daji. No matter how pure she was in the past, and no matter how kind she will be in the future, you must remember that she is already King Zhou's woman. You will have no fate with her in this life. If you want to get things done, you must give up your love!" Ji Chang scolded.
"But father, I really like Daji! I..."
"Shut up! Get out!"
Without waiting for Bo Yikao to finish his words, Ji Chang kicked his son out. He was worried now, but his son was thinking about an insignificant woman, which really disappointed him!
At this time in the Purple Bamboo Forest, Long Junhai received a secret letter from Huang Feihu, which asked him to cooperate with him to eliminate the army of princes.
"Zi Ya, what do you think about this matter?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.
"The other party is really anxious now. Once Chaoge City falls, the entire Shang Empire will be completely overthrown, so the prince will have no chance and Huang Feihu will naturally not benefit at all. That's why they are eager to cooperate with us. I think we can cooperate for now. After all, the armies of the princes are too powerful. Neither the army of the Shang Empire nor our troops are enough to fight against them alone, so it is a good thing to unite." Jiang Ziya expressed his opinion.
Long Junhai nodded and said with a smile, "That being said, don't forget that King Zhou has never been anxious from the beginning to the end. Now that the princes' army is at the gates of the city, there are only two reasons why they are not anxious. One is that they think the situation is hopeless and don't want to put up any more resistance. The other is that they are confident in themselves and think they can wipe out the princes' army in one fell swoop. King Zhou is a very conceited man. He will never admit defeat. So I think he must have set a huge trap in Chaoge City. Now is not the time to jump in. At least we have to wait until someone has explored the way for us."
Long Junhai thought very comprehensively. He knew that King Zhou was not a foolish and incompetent person, so he was always on guard against him. He was patient and continued to wait until King Zhou revealed his cards.
"Master, you have thought it through carefully. If this is really the case, do we need to inform Huang Feihu? After all, our enemies in the end are not just the armies of the princes, but King Zhou is also a big threat to us!" Jiang Ziya said.
"We really need to tell Huang Feihu. After all, our force is the only one he can trust right now." Long Junhai asked Jiang Ziya to write a letter and had the Golden-Eyed Eagle deliver it quickly to Huang Feihu's residence.
Jiang Ziya had just delivered the letter when Lei Zhenzi walked into the tent with a second secret letter.
"My lord, this is a secret letter from Empress Su Daji in the palace." Lei Zhenzi handed the secret letter to Long Junhai.
Long Junhai opened the secret letter and took a look. The content on it was to remind him to be extra careful recently and never enter Chaoge City.
"Su Daji is also very thoughtful. This woman's methods are really extraordinary. She became an empress in just a few years. If the nine-tailed fox had successfully possessed Su Daji, she would probably have become the queen now." Long Junhai said with a smile.
"This Su Daji is indeed not a simple person. She is a weak woman. It is difficult for her to become an empress in a few years, let alone survive in peace! You know, there are hundreds of palace maids and concubines who die in the harem every day! What's more, her father Su Hu was a rebellious prince. Why didn't King Zhou kill her?" Jiang Ziya really admired this woman Su Daji.
"I can't guess what this woman's ability is. I heard Huang Feihu say that Su Daji was able to live smoothly in the harem entirely because of the queen. Otherwise, she would have been thrown into the river to feed the fish. But relying solely on the queen is not enough for Su Daji to live such a comfortable life, right?" Long Junhai frowned. He couldn't figure this out.
"Master, could it be that Su Daji has already defected to King Zhou?" Jiang Ziya suddenly said.
Long Junhai pondered for a moment, then said, "It's not impossible. If that's the case, this woman is too scheming. But I guess she's just cooperating with King Zhou. It's impossible for her to sincerely surrender to him!"
Long Junhai saved Su Daji in the past. Regardless of whether the other party remembered the favor or not, at least it was impossible for her to be loyal to King Zhou again, because King Zhou and the nine-tailed fox were in the same boat. Logically speaking, he was Su Daji's best partner.
However, many of Su Daji's current behaviors indicate that she has some relationship with King Zhou, so Long Junhai must be on guard against this woman. He does not want all his plans to be ruined by this woman.
"Master, if Su Daji cooperated with King Zhou, why did she send us such important news?" Jiang Ziya asked in confusion.
"This is easy to understand, because the other party doesn't want us to die too early, otherwise she will lose her trump card against King Zhou. Her plan should be to let us get rid of the princes' army first, and then get rid of King Zhou. Or we can do this step by step to eliminate the roots, and in the end she will be the only winner." Long Junhai analyzed with a smile.
"What a powerful woman! She hasn't even reached the level of a mortal immortal, but she has calculated everyone. This woman is really scary!" Jiang Ziya thought he was extremely smart, but he was still a little bit worse than Su Daji.
"Sometimes it doesn't matter how high your cultivation is. The one who can win with a smile in the end is the real winner. For now, it's better for us to wait and see." Long Junhai didn't intend to be the first to take action at this time.
The atmosphere of the decisive battle was getting stronger and stronger. The spy sent by Ji Chang finally responded. He found Deng Jiugong, and the other party agreed to cooperate inside and outside. So on this morning, when the drum was beaten for the first time, the army of the princes launched a general attack in one go!
The city was defended by Deng Jiugong's heavy armored soldiers. This time, they were basically defeated and captured by Ji Chang's troops without any resistance. The east gate of Chaoge City was breached, and the south gate also collapsed. Only Huang Feihu, who was guarding the west gate and the north gate, was still struggling to hold on.
