Chapter 418 Simple-minded
"Damn Tongtian Sect Leader, has he lost his mind?" Chang Hao didn't want to listen to Tongtian Sect Leader's outrageous remarks, so he unilaterally cut off the communication channel, and the world became quiet again.
Now, those inside the formation could hear sounds from the outside, but their voices could not be heard at all, and the master of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation would not receive them.
"It should have been done a long time ago." Chang Hao's face was very unpleasant. Who exactly spoiled such a brat?
The faces of the Golden Immortals turned pale and purple. "Uncle-Master, don't be so confident. Who can stand your temper? You're always causing trouble."
These two kept calling him "Your Majesty," and their martial uncle even referred to the snake spirit from Meishan as Emperor Xin. It turned out that the one they were fighting was not Chang Hao, one of the Seven Monsters of Meishan, but Emperor Xin.
The Golden Immortals were enraged. Who dared to defy the primordial world and teach the Human Emperor to cultivate the Dao? Step forward! Once they were freed, they would beat him to a pulp...
Cihang cast a suspicious glance at Tongtian. Her third uncle was always doing whatever he wanted, which was very suspicious... Could it be that he taught him?
Huang Long broke out in a cold sweat. "Uncle-Master, nothing of the sort has happened. Don't overthink it. You and His Majesty are absolutely innocent..."
Huanglong was nearly scared to death, though no one else was frightened. If his master found out that he had misled his uncle like this, he would be in big trouble. His uncle had already gotten into several arguments with his master over this matter before his memory was fine, and if he continued to imagine things, who knows what might happen...
"Alright, I know even if you don't say it. Di Xin and my good second brother were definitely not on good terms. They were having an affair and their relationship was ambiguous. I heard it with my own ears." Thinking of this, Tongtian felt a pang of sadness. His disciple had died so tragically.
Huang Long was speechless. Did his martial uncle remember or not? Huang Long was completely confused.
"Uncle-Master, please be careful with your words," Guang Chengzi said, quite angry. His uncle-master was truly outspoken and dared to say anything.
"Please think twice before you speak, and don't spread rumors." The Golden Immortals who had been observing the situation couldn't help but speak up. This was a defamation of their master's pure and flawless reputation.
"Tsk, you are still too young," Tongtian sneered. What nonsense! A sage's words are law. Once spoken, they can become true even if they are not true. "If it weren't for your good master, you would have ended up like your uncle's servants."
The evidence is right in front of them; these junior apprentices are really too brainless.
Following in Huanglong's footsteps, the Golden Immortals also fell silent. After much deliberation, they came to a conclusion: the matter was indeed very suspicious. Why let the attendants go when they hadn't been killed? However, having their Three Flowers plucked was no better than death.
Several people focused their gazes on Huang Long. The second junior brother was very suspicious, as if he knew a lot of things that they didn't.
Huang Long noticed the unfriendly looks from his fellow disciples and quietly minimized his presence, knowing he wouldn't say anything even if they looked at him again.
"Di Xin, is that right? Speak up, don't play dead," Tongtian shouted from outside the formation. "Di Xin, are you... are you two-timing each other?"
Tongtian thought about it more and more and felt that this was the case. He was not the second brother, but he knew a little about these human emperors and was comparable to the dragons.
Unfortunately, after Chang Hao unilaterally cut off contact, he focused on setting up a grand formation to welcome the disciples of the three religions who were being persuaded to come down the mountain by Shen Gongbao's silver tongue. No matter how much Tongtian shouted, he wouldn't pay any attention to him...
………………
On the way to Chaoge, Jiang Ziya became increasingly uneasy, feeling that he had overlooked something. "General Yu, is it appropriate to leave the eldest son at Tongguan?"
Jiang Ziya was somewhat uneasy.
"Young Master? Who?" Yu Hualong was puzzled.
"It is the eldest son who came to Tongguan with me." Jiang Ziya's unease deepened.
"Oh," Yu Hualong chuckled, "Yang Jian is ordered by the King to cover our retreat at Tongguan. Don't worry, we only need to delay for a day or two, and our army will surely win."
Yu Hualong realized that if they hadn't retreated in time, they would surely be suffering from the plague right now.
Jiang Ziya was completely bewildered. Hadn't Yang Jian secretly gone to Chuanyun Pass? Yang Jian had come to say goodbye.
He asked the eldest son, but General Yu said Yang Jian. Looking at the Ten Heavenly Kings playing and laughing outside the carriage, Jiang Ziya became even more uneasy.
"Grand Physician, do not overthink it. Since the King has appointed you as Grand Physician, it means he trusts your abilities. Just return to court and integrate well into the court," Yu Hualong comforted him.
Jiang Ziya's brow twitched. "General Yu, I am a senior official who has never participated in court discussions. Everything is still uncertain. I hope you will not be joking."
"His Majesty has personally bestowed the title; who would dare to object? Moreover, with His Majesty's handwritten letter and imperial seal, who would dare to disregard it?" Yu Hualong didn't take it seriously. What His Majesty said personally, even if Jiang Shang was the former prime minister of Xiqi, was of no consequence.
Jiang Ziya's heart skipped a beat. The bestowal of the title of Grand Master came too quickly. Besides, Yu Hualong was far away in Tongguan. How could he know that it was a personal imperial appointment?
A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit; besides, Jiang Ziya was no fool.
The truth was about to be revealed, and Jiang Ziya changed the subject, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for disregarding past grievances and accepting Jiang Shang back. I am deeply grateful."
"You old rascal, meeting the King Bai Longyu is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to you. Even I, the general, am envious. In the future, you must do your best to assist the King in handling important military and national affairs, so as not to fail the King's kindness in promoting you today." Yu Hualong was filled with emotion. The encounters in life are truly unpredictable.
"Oh no!!!" Jiang Ziya slapped his thigh and lifted the carriage curtain. "Ten Heavenly Lords, quick, turn around and let's go back to Tongguan."
Yu Hualong frowned. "Doctor, what are you doing?"
“Yang Jian went to Chuanyun Pass instead of staying behind at Tong Pass, but the two senior brothers beside the eldest son went to Lintong Pass. Where did the eldest son go?” Jiang Ziya emphasized the words “eldest son”.
Thinking back to when they met again, the king said he was going to join the army to make merit. It turned out that he wasn't just making things up; he really was going to join the army to make merit.
Yang Jian was at Chuanyun Pass, not Tong Pass. The other two went to Lintong Pass to make arrangements. The King's whereabouts are a mystery, so the people at Tong Pass...
Yu Hualong's vision went black. "Quick, quick, turn around and go back to Tongguan!"
He was really anxious, like an ant on a hot pan, and said that something was not quite right.
The Ten Heavenly Kings silently stopped the two, saying, "I'm sorry, but we are under the King's secret orders to ensure your safe return to Chaoge."
The Ten Heavenly Kings felt a chill run down their spines when they recalled the scene they witnessed before their retreat. The Twelve Golden Immortals were no different from infants in front of the Great King, utterly powerless to resist.
The king is blessed with great fortune and will be fine. But those who failed in their mission will certainly face trouble.
No matter how the two tried to persuade him, the Ten Heavenly Kings had only one thought: to carry out the King's orders.
Yu Hualong had truly met his match. He was almost driven mad by these ten people. How could there be such stubborn people? They were impossible to reason with. They were simple-minded and determined to send them back to Chaoge.
Yu Hualong and Jiang Ziya were sent back to Chaoge. With no other options, the two could only comfort themselves by thinking that the king would not joke about them and must have a foolproof plan, which was how they managed to put their minds at ease.
