Originally, Fan Fei had already decided to take Huang Feiying in. But suddenly, the sound of impatient horse hooves could be heard from outside the General's manor!
The newcomers were Shen Gongbao, who was riding a leopard, and Great General Deng Jiugong!
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor, long live…"
Everyone in the general's manor knelt down. Fan Fei frowned. What was going on?
"General Deng, quickly rise!"
Fan Fei waved his hand." General Deng, didn't I ask you to go to the North Sea to help Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong put down the rebellion? Why didn't you set off today?"
Deng Jiugong was so excited that he took a deep breath." Your Majesty, after Your Majesty arranged for me yesterday, I was supposed to set off today. However, the Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong came late last night to report that the rebellion in the North Sea had been quelled and that I could return to the court at another date…"
"Has the rebellion in the North Sea been quelled?" Fan Fei nodded in satisfaction." Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong is highly respected and has made great contributions to my foundation…"
" That's right, Your Majesty. On my way back, I met this Daoist who claimed that Your Majesty was going to make him the state preceptor…"
Deng Jiugong said and looked at Shen Gongbao.
Fan Fei nodded." Yes, what else is there? Tell me in detail!"”
" General Deng, let me tell you the rest…" Shen Gongbao sniffled and cupped his hands,"" Great King, I've completed the mission that Great King gave me. However, halfway through, I actually smelled Sister Nine-Tailed Fox's aura…"
" Previously, Sister Nine-tailed Fox was caught by Bo Yikao's formation. Now that I found Sister Nine-tailed Fox, I could find Bo Yikao too. I followed the qi and found Ji Fa and his elder brother Bo Yikao's camp in Golden Chicken Ridge, which is 50 miles away from Mushui Pass..."
"What?" Fan Fei paused." Xi Qi has already sent troops?”
"That's right!" Shen Gongbao sniffled again and said," I happened to meet General Deng Jiugong of the Shang army. At first, General Deng did not believe it and sent someone to check. It was indeed the case. Therefore, we hurried to report to the king..."
"That Xi Qi army is at the Golden Chicken Ridge outside Mushui Pass?”Fan Fei emphasized worriedly!
"Not bad!" Deng Jiugong nodded his head and said excitedly,""In addition, reporting to Your Majesty, this general has already led troops and quietly surrounded the Xi Qi army. This time, they are asking for a tiger's skin.”
"Good!"
Fan Fei slapped his thigh and turned to look at Huang Feihu, then at Huang Feihu's sister, Huang Feiying, and said,""Huang Feiying, I have a lot of matters to attend to today. I will come back another day to ask for advice. Now, Deng Jiugong, Shen Gongbao, and Huang Feihu, listen up!”
"I'm here!"
Shen Gongpao was the disciple of the Heavenly Sword Master, and the other two were valiant generals who could conquer mountains and rivers. These three words alone were enough to make one's momentum sky-high!
With such talent, why worry about Xiqi not being destroyed?
"Huang Feihu, I order you to take your two sons, Huang Tianxiang and Huang Tianhua, and surround the right wing.”
"Understood!" Huang Feihu cupped his hands and shouted loudly. His five-colored divine cow shook its tail in high spirits. It was also very excited!
"Deng Jiugong, listen up!" Fan Fei shouted.
"General Mo is here!"
"General Deng Jiugong, I order you to surround the soldiers of Xi Qi's army and not move. In addition, take a group of people and fight with Xi Qi head-on to lure the snake out of its hole. Then, cooperate with General Huang Feihu to flank them and annihilate them in one fell swoop!”
"Understood!"
"Shen Gongpao!"
" I'm here…" Shen Gongbao sniffed and bowed respectfully.
"Follow me and go deep into the enemy camp tonight to find the nine-tailed fox! I guessed that Xi Qi dared to send troops so quickly, there must be a conspiracy!”
"Yes, sir!"
Shen Gongbao nodded." Also, Your Majesty, I know one more thing…"
"Tell me quickly."
" Bo Yikao of Xiqi has average kung fu, but he is good at using formations, seduction, and the Eight Trigrams. Moreover, I learned today that Lady Daji, who was conferred by the king the day before yesterday, once appeared in Yeqiu Tomb. That is to say, Xiqi dared to send troops because he must have made use of Nine-tailed Fox…or even Lady Daji…"
"Scared!"
Fan Fei was really shocked. In fact, Fan Fei had also thought that Xi Qi must have obtained some trump card since he dared to act so quickly!
According to his understanding of history, Bo Yikao had used astrology to control the nine-tailed fox and possessed his beloved concubine Daji!
In this way, Xi Qi was using all the innocent people!
The nine-tailed fox was innocent, but it was controlled by Bo Yikao with astrology!
Daji's beloved concubine was innocent, but she was possessed by the nine-tailed fox that had been controlled…Xi Qi's ultimate goal was to make Daji, or rather, the nine-tailed fox, confuse his consciousness, make him not know how to lead troops to war, indulge in wine and sex, abandon the government, and make Cheng Tang's foundation collapse on its own!
Truly sinister to the extreme!
Thinking of this, Fan Fei gritted his teeth." Shen Gongpao!”
"Your humble subject is here!"
"Do you know astrology?”
"I know a thing or two about astrology…Actually, this astrology divination technique was originally used by Goddess Nüwa to refine stones and mend the sky. Later on, Marquis of the West Ji Chang learned its secrets and evolved it into a harmful technique…"
Nine-Tailed Fox was innocent, his beloved concubine Daji was also innocent. While destroying Xi Qi, Fan Fei could not let innocent people be implicated. Moreover, the nine-tailed fox was beautiful and Daji was his concubine that he had just conferred yesterday!
Therefore, breaking this astrology divination technique was as important as leading an army to battle!
"Are you saying that the art of astrology was first taught by Mother Nuwa?”
"That's right."
"Good!"
Fan Fei nodded." Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the third lunar month. It's Goddess Nvywa's birthday. Announce it to the world immediately. At noon tomorrow, I will personally visit Goddess Nvywa's temple and burn incense to worship her. I believe I will be able to receive guidance on astrology…"
" I will do it now…" Shen Gongbao nodded and left.
Huang Feihu and Deng Jiugong also returned to their respective camps and deployed their troops. This crisis seemed to have arrived in an instant. It really caught them off guard!
Fan Fei summoned the nine silver foxes and returned to the palace!
Perhaps Su Daji had been possessed by the nine-tailed fox for no reason. Moreover, the nine-tailed fox had no consciousness. It was just a puppet that Xiqi Bo Yikao intended to control him!
Thinking of this, Fan Fei was inexplicably worried and quickly went to Daji's bedroom!
