Shen Gongbao gritted his teeth and said, "General, we led our troops to attack Xiqi City, but we didn't expect..."
At that moment, Shen Gongbao explained the whole story clearly.
At the very end, tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "Brother Dao saved us! But he himself was trapped in the midst of the country! Now, I don't know whether he is alive or dead!"
"What!?"
When Wen Zhong heard this, he staggered and gritted his teeth, "Brother Dao was abducted to Qisheng Pass!"
Everyone's face was gloomy, and they understood Wen Zhong's next words without him saying anything.
Qisheng Pass is filled with powerful warriors, with a million soldiers stationed there and a large formation protecting it. If Zhao Gongming falls into it, there is basically no chance of survival...
Shen Gongbao nodded with tears in his eyes, then knelt down again and said, "It's my fault! I gave such a foolish suggestion! It caused the loss of the army and brought disaster to my brother! I am guilty!"
The rest of the immortal generals, including Yang Jian, Yang Xuanyou, Zhu Ganglie, Yuan Hong, etc., also knelt down with hatred and regret on their faces.
Their lives were saved by Zhao Gongming!
"Everyone get up!!"
Wen Zhong's eyes flushed red as he suddenly shouted, "Come with me to the main tent to discuss this matter! We must thoroughly understand this matter!! Otherwise, our army will suffer even greater losses in the future!"
"promise!"
Everyone responded immediately and followed Wen Zhong to the central tent.
The atmosphere in the big tent was solemn. The death of Zhao Gongming was an unprecedented loss for the Shang army!
This is not comparable to the deaths of those immortal cultivators before!
This is the real foundation being consumed!
"Shen Gongbao, tell me clearly, what did you feel?"
Wen Zhong closed his eyes slightly, suppressed the rage in his heart, then looked at Shen Gongbao and asked in a deep voice.
Shen Gongbao is extremely smart, he must have seen something!
As expected, Shen Gongbao said slowly, "General, this battle is destiny, a game between us and His Majesty the Human Emperor. All of us soldiers are pawns."
When everyone heard this, they nodded in agreement. The Yuanshi Tianzun's Chan Sect supported Xiqi, which in itself was a great disrespect to the Human Emperor.
As subordinates of the Emperor, we naturally have to help him fight against these rebellious ministers and rebels.
It is true that both sides are each other's pawns.
Shen Gongbao continued, "If this were a game between chess pieces, then there would be no problem, and both sides could just use their own tactics. But this time, Brother Zhao and I led a hundred thousand elite troops to attack Xiqi City, but we were seen through! Instead, we all fell into the Jiangshan Sheji Map. This is no longer a battle between chess pieces! This is someone on the outside! After seeing through the situation, he shamelessly instructed the chess pieces himself, even throwing down various magic weapons to forcibly crush us! To win the chance for his pieces!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and speechless.
A saint takes action? Then what are we fighting for?
With the ability of a saint, all things in the world are as easy as straw dogs. With a wave of his hand, he can crush an army of millions to death.
Wen Zhong's brow furrowed, but then he sneered, "How could he be so careless? If he were so careless, how could we have gotten this far? Even if that person outside the game has boundless means, there are still people who can stop him! He acts like this, isn't he afraid that I, the chess player, will crush all his pieces!"
When Shen Gongbao heard this, his eyes rolled.
Yes, I was also shocked by what I thought. Now that I think about it carefully, how could it be so simple?
After pondering for a moment, Shen Gongbao's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at the monkey and said quickly, "Fellow Daoist, when you went to rescue Brother Zhao, you said that a Taoist in black had seriously injured Brother Zhao with just one move, but then a Taoist in brown rescued you?"
The monkey nodded and said, "Yes, that Taoist who called himself Subhuti was the one who saved Brother Zhao and me."
"Yes!"
Shen Gongbao nodded and said, "I guess the Taoist in black and the Taoist in brown are the ones who play chess, but I don't know exactly who they are."
Wen Zhong shook his head and said calmly, "It definitely can't be Master Tongtian."
Shen Gongbao continued, "So, on my side, there are also those who can stop the saint..."
At this point, Shen Gongbao wondered to himself, "But he saved Brother Zhao from the black-clothed men back then, but why didn't he save him now..."
With a slight turn of his eyes, Shen Gongbao looked up at the monkey whose face was indifferent, filled with anger and murderous intent.
Could it be that the Taoist in brown robes was actually trying to save him? Saving Zhao Gongming was just a side job.
Subhuti...
And Wukong’s teacher is...the saint Zhunti.
Subhuti... Cundi...
After figuring this out, Shen Gongbao suddenly showed a look of regret in his eyes.
How hateful... If I had brought the monkeys with me... even if this operation failed, we would have all returned safely!
"What are you looking at me for?"
The monkey was a little confused by Shen Gongbao's gaze and said in surprise: "I don't have any flowers on me."
"Alas, when Brother Zhao is not around, this army will have to rely heavily on you, Brother Daoist."
When Shen Gongbao heard this, he sighed and bowed slightly to the monkey.
"Hey hey hey."
Seeing this, the monkey quickly reached out and helped him up, then said righteously: "What are you talking about! I am the son of my adoptive father! The army is fighting against the rebellion, so of course I will do my best!"
"Everyone, rest assured."
Wen Zhong suddenly waved his hand and said, "That man is shameless. How can Your Majesty sit idly by? How can Confucius sit idly by? This time, he suddenly attacked, and it was beyond everyone's expectation. This is what harmed Master Uncle! But Your Majesty and Confucius must have taken precautions. If he attacks again, it will all depend on Your Majesty and Confucius's methods! The army will temporarily rest! Wait and see what happens! Disperse and defend well!"
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and then dispersed.
Only Shen Gongbao was still inside the big tent.
"Marshal."
After everyone had left, Shen Gongbao said slowly, "Your Majesty and Confucius must have been distracted by something, otherwise they would not have sat idly by and watched Fellow Daoist Zhao perish."
Wen Zhong looked at Shen Gongbao and said, "How could I not know about this? The army has no choice but to defend itself for now. I believe that Your Majesty and Confucius will be free soon."
"That's not necessary."
Shen Gongbao said slowly, "Besides Your Majesty and Confucius, there must be other chess players watching. If we can get them to join the battle, then even though we are just chess pieces, we will be safe!"
"oh?"
Wen Zhong frowned slightly.
Shen Gongbao said, "General, after a few days of rest, you might as well have me lead my men to launch another surprise attack on Xiqi City! If my predictions are correct, and if I bring Wukong with me, then this operation will definitely succeed!"
