According to Boyi, when they were conquering the Yunzhong tribe, Di Xin smashed the Yunzhong tribe's strongest warship with a single punch, showing his formidable strength.
In every battle, he always took the lead and charged ahead.
King Zhou of Shang, Di Xin, was probably the most powerful fighter in the entire Shang Dynasty.
"Boyi pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
Bo Yi walked up to Di Xin and bowed.
Di Xin casually raised his hand, his expression and tone both languid: "It's Boyi. I've told you so many times, no need for formalities."
"Go and find out the whereabouts of those traitors, Zhou Wu. How's it going?"
Bo Yi shook his head with a grave expression and said, "The situation is not optimistic."
Our Shang soldiers have been greatly reduced in number due to years of war, while the rebel Zhou Wu's alliance of a hundred tribes and numerous vassal states has several times the number of our Shang soldiers.
By this time, they had formed an encirclement and were closing in on my Great Shang. When I turned back halfway, I encountered Zhou Wu's scouts and fought a fierce battle with them. I almost didn't make it back.
Fortunately, thanks to the help of Yang Cheng, they were able to return to Chaoge safely.
Your Majesty, this brother Yang Cheng also has his heart set on our Great Shang Dynasty. He is dissatisfied with the rebellious actions of those traitors, such as Zhou Wu, and is preparing to come to Chaoge to join the army.
The Yang brothers are incredibly strong, possessing the courage of ten thousand men; they are definitely much stronger than me.
"I urge Your Majesty to give Yang Cheng and his brothers an important position, and not to let such talented individuals discourage you."
Yang Cheng also stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Yang Cheng greets Your Majesty. We are just country folk and do not know proper etiquette. Please forgive us."
Boyi was truly guileless, his heart was only with the Shang Dynasty and Emperor Xin.
He was afraid that Emperor Xin would miss out on talented people, so he even went so far as to belittle himself and compare himself to Yang Cheng.
King Zhou glanced at Yang Cheng. He could tell from Yang Cheng's aura that his blood and qi were incredibly powerful, which made him nod in satisfaction.
"The people I admire most are warriors!"
Yang Cheng, your coming to join my Great Shang at this time is like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
From this day forward, you shall be the commander of my personal guard, with the authority to command ten thousand soldiers!
Putting everything else aside, Di Xin was indeed a very bold and magnanimous person.
He doesn't bother to investigate a stranger's background or question their power when they come to him for help. Instead, he directly gives them a commanding position and the authority to lead ten thousand troops.
If Yang Chengben hadn't come with ulterior motives, he would definitely have been devoted to Emperor Xin, just like Boyi.
"Your Majesty, please wait!"
A voice suddenly came.
Two middle-aged men dressed in long robes, who looked like ministers, hurriedly walked in.
"Your Majesty, this man's origins and strength are unknown. You have just given him the position of commander. What will the generals and soldiers who have followed you for so many years think?"
One of them, though handsome, exuded a sinister aura.
The other person had a pointed face and a wicked grin. His aura was erratic, but he exuded a deathly aura, as if he were not a living person.
Bo Yi's face immediately showed a hint of anger, and he said in a low voice: "They are Fei Zhong and You Hun, two treacherous villains!"
It was because of their instigation that the king killed Bigan, dismissed Shang Rong, and imprisoned Jizi.
They removed all the influential and capable ministers in the court, which allowed them to swagger around and act arrogantly.
Heaven knows why the king insisted on trusting these two treacherous officials who were experts at internal strife but incompetent at external conflicts.
Their opposition to your becoming leader is not because they are genuinely worried about your identity or strength.
Instead, these two guys had already found some random characters from who-knows-where and planted them around the king.
They all want to reserve those command positions for their own subordinates, so of course they'll oppose you, Brother Yang.
Yang Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze fixed on Fei Zhongyouhun.
It wasn't because he was curious about these two historically infamous traitors, but because the dragon scales given to him by the Heavenly Emperor had already reacted.
These two actually possessed fragments of Laozi's legacy!
Although clues and information come quickly, obtaining them is not easy.
These two historically infamous treacherous officials were not ordinary civil officials; it seems there are hardly any ordinary people in this city of Chaoge.
The aura emanating from the two of them was extremely strange. Yang Cheng couldn't fathom how strong their power was, but in any case, they possessed extraordinary abilities.
The entire city of Chaoge is filled with array formations, and there are countless cultivators, as well as powerful figures like Emperor Xin and Daji.
If I act rashly, I might be besieged before I even leave Chaoge City.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, we should cooperate with Jiang Kai to slowly collect the fragments.
At this moment, Boyi stood up angrily and said coldly, "Right now, our Great Shang is in dire straits. We are overjoyed to have a brave warrior like Yang Cheng join us. How could we have any other thoughts?"
Anyone who has such thoughts is not worthy to follow the King!
I think it's you who have ulterior motives. Your opposition is simply because you want your own people to become the king's leaders.
Fei Zhong stroked his beard and said calmly, "General Boyi is right. Right now, when our Great Shang is in trouble, we should indeed recruit talents without being bound by convention."
I have indeed recommended quite a few talented people to Your Majesty.
However, the people I recommended all have established lineages, and I had already verified their abilities beforehand.
On the other hand, what about you, General Boyi?
Yang Cheng only saved your life, yet you disregard everything and insist on recommending him to the king.
Isn't such a hasty approach somewhat irresponsible?
Or is it that General Boyi, you've blurred the lines between public and private matters, and are only doing this to repay a debt of gratitude?
