"What brilliant idea do you have, my dear? Tell me about it."
Hearing Laozi's words, the Jade Emperor suddenly became interested. He immediately stood up and walked to Laozi's side. Then he also asked Li Jing, who was kneeling on the ground, to stand up and speak.
"Your Majesty, I'm thinking about that mortal Zhang Fan. He actually has such great power. Just look at the skills of his two servants. We can't deal with such a person. Can't we push it to that person? He has sent people to the East to preach..."
When Taishang Laojun said this, the Jade Emperor was moved.
Yes, isn’t Buddha very powerful?
Although Heavenly Court and Lingshan have been almost on an equal footing in recent years, Heavenly Court has declined and often turns a blind eye to Lingshan.
Although the Jade Emperor was very dissatisfied, he did not dare to take action openly. He had already sent people to secretly keep an eye on those who preached the scriptures. This already made the problem clear. If Lingshan's strength increased greatly, Heaven would only slowly be suppressed by Lingshan.
Even the Jade Emperor was not sure what the final situation would be.
But he absolutely didn't want to see this scene.
"I'm afraid Zhang Fan is not qualified, and they may not be fooled..."
The Jade Emperor was somewhat tempted, but more hesitant.
"Your Majesty, you may not know that I saw Zhang Fan last time in Yuhua Prefecture. They..."
Taishang Laojun stepped closer to the Jade Emperor, and then told him everything about the last time Sun Wukong and his friends in Yuhuazhou killed the Yellow Lion Monster. He also told the Jade Emperor that the Yellow Lion Monster was also Zhang Fan's servant.
At that time, they only punished them lightly, but Sun Wukong and his companions suffered a lot. In the end, they knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times to beg Zhang Fan to let them go to the East to preach, and then they left Yuhuazhou in disgrace.
The feud between Xifang Lingshan and Zhang Fan actually started from here.
"Jade Emperor, Zhang Fan and Lingshan don't have a very good relationship. This is an opportunity for us to take advantage of. We just need to maintain the status quo and don't need to do too much. Just keep everything as it is and win over Wu Gang..."
Taishang Laojun's words touched the heart of the Jade Emperor, and Li Jing also echoed him, thinking that Taishang Laojun's strategy was really good.
If Zhang Fan can attract Lingshan's attention and consume Lingshan's strength, hehe, in the end it will be Heaven that becomes powerful, and this is the benefit they want most.
Finally, the Jade Emperor was persuaded and no longer cared about Wu Gang's crime of deceiving the emperor.
Haha, as long as the benefits are big enough, the Jade Emperor can sacrifice himself a bit, even though he knows in his heart that Wu Gang is deceiving the emperor. But so what? If the benefits are big enough, everything can be ignored!
At this time, Zhang Fan was already standing under the plum blossoms, surrounded by white snow. The red plum blossoms exuded bursts of subtle fragrance, which made him feel extremely happy and delighted.
It’s great to watch the snow and appreciate the plum blossoms!
Someone said something to Wu Gang and then left in a hurry, and Wu Gang reported to Zhang Fan.
"It seems that the Jade Emperor called Taishang Laojun, Erlang Shen, and Li Jing away. The remaining gods are all watching singing and dancing and drinking in Mustard Seed Mountain. It's quite lively..."
"The Jade Emperor is suspicious and narrow-minded. If he knew that Wuming and I are both subordinates of the Lord, I'm afraid something would happen. He might even expel me from Heaven. But Heaven is like this. As long as I stay with the Lord, it doesn't matter where I go..."
Wu Gang smiled indifferently.
What’s the point of following the Jade Emperor?
For someone as loyal to him as Li Jing, he didn't even give him enough Hundred Flowers Wine. That was too petty. As for himself, he was always rewarded with Hundred Flowers Wine. Hundred Flowers Wine, Wu Gang was really worried.
If he encounters those gods who don’t like to drink, will the Jade Emperor still reward them with Hundred Flowers Wine?
The Jade Emperor is the ruler of the three realms, but he is very stingy. He is not even half as stingy as the Lord. The Lord only rewarded him with an axe of creation, which completely changed his fate.
What future can there be by following such a Jade Emperor, just for those jars of Hundred Flowers Wine?
Then because you are used to drinking Baihua wine and become addicted, you will be like Li Jing. Whenever you have the chance to drink Baihua wine, you will go to the store and take a sip?
Hehe, is this the end of following the Jade Emperor?
Wu Gang doesn't care about it, so it doesn't matter.
"Well, I won't treat you unfairly. You really like this heaven. You can come here whenever you want. No one can stop you..."
Zhang Fan also laughed. He didn’t care what the Jade Emperor did.
Anyway, as long as he is happy.
"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!"
When Wu Gang heard Zhang Fan's promise to him, he was overjoyed. If the Lord said so, then he could definitely do so in the future. He could go if he wanted to, and not go if he didn't want to.
What Zhang Fan said to Wu Gang made Wuming on the side very envious.
"My Lord, I will be back soon. Don't worry about the Hades. I still have Bai Wuchang to help me. Besides, I have sent out many secret agents from Sancai Manor and trained a lot of my own people. I will slowly get rid of the people from Heaven and the former Hades!"
Wuming also bowed and answered.
If Wu Gang leaves the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace will also take action against his Underworld and intensify their infiltration and control, saying that they will not support a new Hades. Then he will not only have to strengthen himself, but also take control of the power of the Underworld.
At least don't let the underworld become a burden.
He had to become stronger and become the Lord's helper.
"What are you afraid of? Hehehe, I'm waiting to lead a hundred thousand servants to sweep across the three realms in the future. And if the Jade Emperor really issues an order to expel you, hehe, it will depend on who has the stronger fist and whose words have the right. Don't worry, Wu Gang, everything is under the control of the master..."
Hua Yueying was also laughing and joking with Wu Gang, not taking the matter seriously at all.
Yes, it’s no big deal. The Jade Emperor is just angry. Are you scared?
Definitely not afraid, hahaha!
A few people were still playing there and looking at the scenery of Mustard Seed Mountain. They could switch between the four seasons at any time and feel it at will. It was really interesting and they were having a great time here.
Those gods who came here today all have their own plans.
The disappearance of Taishang Laojun and Erlang Shen did not attract much attention. Instead, some people kept looking in the direction where Zhang Fan and his companions left.
Someone picked up a cup of Baihua wine and pretended to walk away in that direction casually. But before he had walked for long, he met a few gods who were also pretending to walk around casually, and they all smiled and nodded.
"Barefoot Immortal, please go first!"
"Lord Sun, please go first!"
…
These gods were all being polite, but no matter how polite they were, the direction they finally chose to go was the direction Zhang Fan and the others left. Their goal was self-evident!
