retreat?
Granted marriage?
Shachen was stunned for a moment.
All the immortals were stunned, including Li Jing and others, who were dumbfounded and unable to react.
Because they were all unaware of this, when Yue Lao arrived, he directly read out the decree.
In other words, it is not an intention.
This is more like a command, and it is not a direct command, but is conveyed in the tone of Yue Lao.
If you were to talk about how exciting everyone's expressions were, none of them could be as exciting as Li Jing's.
What happened today was completely beyond his imagination and he could not have expected it.
He had not received any information about the Jade Emperor's decree, not even a hint of it.
You know, he is the commander-in-chief of millions of heavenly soldiers and generals who subdue demons and monsters, and is the chief commander in charge of dealing with the sandstorm this time.
Surprisingly, he knew about Shachen's declaration of peace and withdrawal of troops along with everyone else.
Unbelievable.
It is totally incomprehensible and unacceptable.
Before anyone could say anything, Li Jing quickly pulled Yue Lao over and whispered, "Uncle Master, what's going on? Why did the Jade Emperor issue such an order, and I didn't know about it?"
Yue Lao glanced at him and said calmly: "Li Tianwang, please call me by my official title. I am no longer your uncle-master."
Originally, the two were from the same lineage, and were both disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun of the Chan Sect. Yue Lao was even a disciple, and Li Jing was a third-generation disciple.
but.
Li Jing was a disciple of the deputy headmaster, the Taoist Master Ran Deng, but the Taoist Master Ran Deng had already abandoned Taoism and turned to Buddhism, so almost all of his disciples were expelled from the sect.
Although Li Jing never admitted that he had left the Chan sect, he always regarded himself as a disciple of the Chan sect.
However, in reality, many people have already converted him to Buddhism.
In addition to his master being the ancient Buddha Dipankara, his two sons are also Buddhists and have a deep connection with Buddhism.
The reason why Li Jing was still given dignity was mainly because Li Jing's son Nezha was still a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren, and the third generation disciple of the Chan Sect.
This is why Li Jing was able to retain the dignity of a third-generation disciple of the Chan sect, but it was not much, as the Chan sect people would not recognize it. However, he himself could be a disciple of the Chan sect or a disciple of Buddhism according to his needs.
In short, it depends on the need.
Li Jing didn't expect that Yue Lao would publicly reject his attempt to get close to him, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
At the same time, he also understood that with the coming of the Journey to the West catastrophe, the people of the orthodox teachings became more resistant to Buddhism.
He has been very close to Buddhism recently. Even though he has repeatedly emphasized that his master has converted to Buddhism, he is still a disciple of the Chan school.
He was also unable to change the fact that the people of the Chan sect were alienated from him.
Li Jing quickly asked, "Lord Yue, may I ask why the Jade Emperor issued such an order? I haven't received any news yet."
Yue Lao smiled, his expression odd, and said, "Li Tianwang, has the Jade Emperor ordered that he report to you? Or does he need your approval for the decision he makes?"
Li Jing was shocked. Yue Lao's words were so cruel that they could hurt his heart.
He quickly said, "Lord Yue, you're joking. I just feel, just, just feel that the Jade Emperor's order is a little inappropriate. Why didn't anyone stop it?"
Yue Lao chuckled and said, "Li Tianwang, the Jade Emperor's order is a statement. Naturally, no one will stop him. But Li Tianwang, who do you think should stop the Jade Emperor's order?"
Li Jing was really scared. Yue Lao's words were sarcastic and heart-wrenching.
He was a little overwhelmed. Looking around, he found that Lu Xiong, Wang Lingguan and others had strange expressions, as if they were joking.
Luo Xuan also stopped chasing Red Boy and was here at this time, with a playful look on his face.
Li Jing understood, perhaps Shachen's words had worked. Even though the Jade Emperor knew that Shachen was trying to sow discord, he would rather believe it than not.
The heart of an emperor is the hardest to guess.
Li Jing was suspected by the Jade Emperor, or at least the Jade Emperor had some grievances about Li Jing.
No emperor would be happy to see his ministers in high positions and powerful figures, or even to see their achievements so great that they threaten the emperor. They only know the ministers, not the emperor!
The Jade Emperor still needs Li Jing, otherwise he would have taken action against him.
Li Jing was shocked. After thinking clearly about the key point, he decided to keep a low profile for the time being and cling to the support of Buddhism.
The Chan sect is no longer reliable, so he can only let his youngest son Nezha hold on to its thigh, while he and his other two sons just hold on to the thigh of Buddhism.
Otherwise, when the situation becomes one-sided, we will be left alone and helpless.
But Li Jing also felt uncomfortable and could not accept it. The Jade Emperor's order was really incomprehensible and seemed to be directed against him.
He has been besieging Liusha River for more than three years. Retreating at this time will only make all their efforts go to waste.
Moreover, the impact of the previous theft of the White Horse Camp had been reduced to a minimum. Now that he suddenly retreated, the impact that he had suppressed with great difficulty would explode in an instant.
Everyone would wonder whether what Li Jing promised could not be fulfilled, and whether what Li Jing said about the issue of Baima Camp being resolved was actually a lie?
No matter what he thought, as long as his subordinates had wild thoughts, Li Jing's authority would be destroyed.
Li Jing wanted to make a few more arguments, but suddenly he felt a little dejected.
He knew that the Jade Emperor was probably suspicious of him and had calculated that this was the right time for him to withdraw his troops in order to undermine his prestige in the army.
It is a warning to him as well as a reprimand to stop trying to be clever.
Li Jing understood everything and felt a chill in his heart.
He hesitated for a moment, clasped his fists, and said, "I have received your order. From now on, I will withdraw my troops and return to heaven to report to the Jade Emperor."
Yue Lao nodded and said, "That's right, Li Tianwang, remember, the Three Realms belong to the Lord of the Three Realms, not your Li family."
