MTL - What is It Like To Be Summoned As a Giant?-v2 Chapter 491 Jiang Ziya appeared
Chapter 491 Jiang Ziya Appears
Sanshan Pass was a strategically important place in the Shang Dynasty, and Kong Xuan was one of the chief soldiers here. And strictly speaking, it must be a substitute.
Now the Shang Dynasty is still in the period of ignorance, and the rules of the bureaucratic system are not too strict, just like the overlapping functions of departments such as Sitianjian and Qintianjian, but no one cares about this.
Kong Xuan's status as the commander-in-chief is also between a full-time job and a temporary job. Anyway, usually there is nothing he needs to take care of, so life is still happy.
As the first peacock at the beginning of the world, Kong Xuan despises such salary and power. But he needs the luck of the human race to help him. If he can achieve the position of prime minister and reach the realm of an extremely human minister, Kong Xuan feels that he can use the luck of the human dynasty to become a saint.
Then how do you become the prime minister?
Kong Xuan, as a fierce general with excessive force value but mediocre political value, the only way he can think of is to get seniority. Anyway, he can live for many, many years, survive three or five emperors, and a veteran of the Five Dynasties can almost enter the center.
It was just a decree from the imperial court to let him run to fight Tang Lin. Originally, he was sure of everything, but he had to admit defeat when he was intervened by the Zhunti Saint.
In this way, if the credit is not established, it is not bad if you are not blamed.
"It seems that we will waste a few more years." Kong Xuan secretly sighed.
But when he returned to Sanshan Pass, he immediately received a report from his subordinates that someone wanted to see him. Kong Xuan thought to himself, even if the court blamed him, it would not come so soon.
After careful questioning, the one who came was a Taoist priest.
Kong Xuan pondered for a moment, and decided to meet with the previous one.
When the person came, Kong Xuan took a look with his eyes and found that he was an old Taoist priest with average magic power. It can be said that he lacked roots and could not practice well, so he had no hope of becoming a Taoist in this life. Not only that, this old Taoist priest is already seventy or eighty years old, and he probably doesn't have many years of life left.
Although he was an opponent who could be crushed with a finger, Kong Xuan still treated him with courtesy. Having spent a long time among mortals, Kong Xuan also understood a truth, big fists have nothing to do with promotion.
One more friend leads to more paths, one more enemy creates more walls, so it is more polite to outsiders.
After serving tea, Kong Xuancai asked, "Where did the Taoist come from?"
"Jiang Shang, a poor Taoist in Kunlun Mountain, is named Ziya." The old Taoist said.
It turned out that it was Jiang Ziya who Tang Lin could not find, and the Beihai and Sanshanguan that Xibohou had calculated had come true.
Hearing that it was from Kunlun Mountain, Kong Xuan was a little vigilant. The way of heaven has been unpredictable recently, Kong Xuan naturally sensed it, and probably understood that there was a struggle between the two religions. For Kong Xuan, he just wants to be his official in peace, and he is not willing to participate in the dispute between the two religions.
If it weren't for the imperial court's order, Kong Xuan would not have wanted to fight against Taoist Lihuo who stopped teaching. Even if he really wanted to do something, he would do it right away, and he didn't dare to form any great hatred.
Everything is aimed at sanctification, and other troubles can be avoided.
"I don't know what Jiang Daochang asked Kong for?" Kong Xuan asked.
"General Kong, Ming people don't speak dark words, a catastrophe is about to happen in the world, the representative of the poor way will explain and teach, please help the general." Jiang Ziya said.
"Daoist Jiang, Kong has no intention of participating in the dispute between the two religions." Kong Xuan said with certainty.
This was clearly a refusal, but Jiang Ziya showed no expression of frustration, because Yuanshi Tianzun had already mentioned him before going down the mountain. If he wanted to win over Kong Xuan, Jiang Ziya had long thought about it.
Jiang Ziya picked up the teacup and took a sip, moistened his throat and said: "General Kong is the first peacock in the world, and now he is willing to be wronged to be a general soldier, just because he wants to rely on the luck of the human race to become holy. But Kong Did the general think that he could fulfill his wish by guarding the Sanshan Pass? Haven't you heard that the second prince, Yin Hong, has arrived in Xiqi and will soon raise the flag of rebellion?
"When the time comes, we will fight together, where will the general go?"
"The second prince has arrived in Xiqi? Is this serious?" Kong Xuan asked in surprise.
Although his five-color divine light is powerful, he is not proficient in divination. At this time, Yin Hong's arrival in Xiqi is still an important secret. If he is not counted as a saint, no more than ten people in the world can know this secret.
"It's true, how could Pindao use this kind of thing to deceive the general. The big war is about to break out, not only to clarify the matter of the two sects, but also to be a major event in the world. Xiqi has a strong army and a strong horse, one-third of the world, and supports the second prince Yin Hong Rebellion, the princes and guardians of the world will be involved in it.
"As far as Pingdao knows, Taoist Lihuo has been designated as a traitor by His Majesty. It can be seen that in the catastrophe, Taoist Lihuo must seek refuge in Xiqi. Taoist Lihuo is the sixth personal successor of the Tongtian Saint, representing This is the sage position.
"Nowadays there are many members of the Jiejiao in the court, and there is a big battle. If these Jiejiao people turn against each other, how will the general deal with himself? Will he also fall to Xiqi?"
Facing Jiang Ziya's question, Kong Xuan really wanted to say that he would also run away when others ran, but it was actually impossible. Yin Jiao has already ascended the throne, which is the orthodoxy of the imperial court and the destiny of the mortal dynasty. If Kong Xuan turned against Xiqi, all the previous efforts would be in vain.
Where is the way, since you have chosen to assist the Shang Dynasty, you must stick to it from the beginning. If you change the door and start over again, then this road will be dead.
Therefore, Kong Xuan basically has no possibility of betrayal, unless he directly abandons the way of official career and becomes a saint, and changes to other methods.
But there is no such easy way to become a saint in the world. After finally finding one, and after working hard for so long, Kong Xuan would not allow himself to fail.
"Jiang Daochang, have you decided to support Chaoge?" Kong Xuan asked.
"It should be so. The Shang Dynasty ruled the world for hundreds of years, and it was orthodox in the world. Xiqi's rebellion was unknown and unpopular. It was a serious crime of treason. My teachings must follow the sky, and naturally I must help the court to put down the rebellion." Jiang Ziya For sure.
Kong Xuan understood Jiang Ziya's reason for coming. In fact, even if Jiang Ziya didn't come, as long as Chanjiao was willing to help Yin Jiao, he would be Kong Xuan's natural ally. Let me say something in advance, the meaning is just to make the relationship between everyone closer, so that when we send troops in the future, we can unite and cooperate to fight against the interceptors.
Kong Xuan had no choice but to agree.
Jiejiao's influence in Chaoge is too great, among other things, just a Wen Taishi is enough to make people frightened. Although Grand Master Wen is loyal, but to intercept the will of the saint, how dare Grand Master Wen dare to disobey?
Once it is heard that the grand master has defected, the court in Yinjiao is afraid that it will fall apart in an instant. Therefore, allies are necessary, not only that, but also to prepare early.
"Jiang Daochang, I heard that the grand master is an extremely human minister, and he is also a member of the Jiejiao. Is there a way to deal with it?" Kong Xuan asked.
"Don't worry, General, this matter has long been planned, as long as..." Before Jiang Ziya finished speaking, Kong Xuan got up abruptly, almost knocking over the table in front of him.
"General, why are you surprised?" Jiang Ziya asked in surprise.
Kong Xuan frowned and said, "The Taoist Lihuo has already arrived at Sanshan Pass!"
