The next day, King Zhou, who had crawled out of the " pile of beauties ", was very satisfied. However, when he suddenly learned that Su Hu had rebelled after writing the anti-poem, he was furious. He asked Fei Zhong, who could attack Jizhou and capture the traitor Su Hu?
Fei Zhong said," Jizhou is just a small place. To dare to fight against the Great Shang Emperor is like hitting a rock with an egg. I think there is no need to make a fuss. State Preceptor Shen Gongbao has powerful mana and is proficient in the Mystic Gate. I think that State Preceptor Shen only needs to lead two thousand troops to flatten Jizhou! Su Hu's crimes are too heinous to be forgiven, but the Imperial Advisor can kill him immediately after capturing his family. There's no need to send him to the capital."
After hearing Fei Zhong's words, King Zhou immediately issued an order to have Shen Gongbao lead 2,000 troops to flatten Jizhou, capture Su Hu's family, and execute them on the spot.
……
After Su Hu left Zhaoge, he led the Jizhou Army back to Jizhou. When they arrived, the eldest son, Su Quanzhong, led his generals out of the city to welcome them.
At this moment, the father and son met at the city gate. After a round of greetings, Su Hu sighed and said,"" The current emperor has lost his power, and all the vassals have come to see him. I don't know which treacherous official told that fatuous ruler that my daughter was beautiful, and that fatuous ruler wanted to take my daughter as his concubine. At that time, I personally advised that fatuous ruler not to indulge in women. Who knew that the fatuous ruler would be furious and want to punish me. If it weren't for Fei Zhong and You Hun, I would have died. Now, he wants me to send my daughter to the capital. I was unhappy at that time and mentioned an anti-poem outside the city gate. Now, that fatuous ruler will definitely send the vassals to attack. You should speed up the training of your troops in case of an emergency!”
A few days later, Shen Gongbao's army arrived. The Demonic Priest was too lazy to fight with Su Hu. He used a spell and brought Su Hu and his son, Su Quanzhong, to the barracks.
When Su Hu and Su Quanzhong heard that King Zhou had sent troops to suppress them, they immediately began to prepare for the city defense. Who knew that the strange wind would blow into the enemy camp.
Su Hu and Su Quanzhong were tied up and brought to Shen Gongbao, the commander. Su Hu knew that he was unlucky and cursed Shen Gongbao.
Shen Gongbao was not angry. He walked up to Su Hu politely and untied him."Ji Prefecture Marquis is shocked. This poor priest was also ordered by the emperor and had no choice!”
After that, Shen Gongbao ordered the servants to prepare the food and wine. He sent Su Quanzhong off to rest first, then entertained Su Hu. Su Hu didn't know what this Taoist priest was up to, but since he was already a fish in the water, he could only take it one step at a time.
Shen Gongbao invited Su Hu to a banquet and said,"This Penniless Priest has long heard that Su Hou is upright and upright. I have admired him for a long time. This time, Your Majesty forced Su Hou to rebel for the sake of a moment of pleasure.”
Su Hu was very happy to hear Shen Gongpao flattering him. He forgot his hostility towards Shen Gongpao and sighed."Daoist Priest, you praise me, but Su Hu is already a prisoner. What's the use of saying this?”
Shen Gongbao poured a glass of wine and sighed,""Su Hou, you might not know this, but this time, the king has given me an order. As long as we take down Jizhou, not only will Su Hou's family be executed on the spot, but the entire Jizhou will also be flattened and all the commoners will be buried alive!”
Su Hu was shocked and said in a trembling voice,"How…how can this fatuous ruler be so cruel…"
"Su Hou, be quiet!" Shen Gongbao thought that Su Hu was too bold to insult King Zhou in the military camp of the Shang Dynasty. He continued," Now, he is furious. I'm afraid that Jizhou will be destroyed. However, I admire Su Hou's benevolence and righteousness. I can't kill all the innocent people in the city. Therefore, I have a plan. If this plan works, not only can Su Hou's family be saved, but the people in the city will also be spared from the war!”
Su Hu hurriedly asked,"I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
Shen Gongbao smiled faintly and said," My three younger sisters are now concubines in the King's harem. The King dotes on your sister very much. If Su Hou can become my relative, I think the King will not make things too difficult for Su Hou's family and the people in the city, right?"”
Su Hu didn't understand."This is only the first time I've met you, Taoist priest. How can we be relatives?”
" I heard that Su Hou has a daughter, Su Daji, who is not married yet..." Shen Gongpao said meaningfully.
Su Hu finally understood what was going on. After all this time, this Taoist priest had said such nonsense to him. He was the one who wanted Daji. He couldn't help but be furious and was about to explode on the spot.
But then, Su Hu thought," This Taoist is so powerful. I don't know what he did to capture me and my father. I'm afraid I'll only be humiliated if I fall out with him. It doesn't matter if my whole family dies, but if I implicate the elders in the city to die because of me, it'll be a great sin for me. This Taoist doesn't look bad. If Daji marries him and saves the elders in the city, then I'll be worthy of heaven and earth. Anyway, it's better than marrying that stupid emperor!"”
Su Hu sighed and said,"It can be considered that I, Su Hu, was fated to have such a calamity, but now it's retribution. This is all because of my daughter. She lost her mother when she was young, and I spoiled her badly. I only hope that Taoist priest will forgive her in the future!”
Shen Gongpao was happy to see Su Hu agree to his marriage with Daji. He smiled and said,"Su Hou is indeed a real man. I will send you and Young Master Su back to the city now. It is best to hold the wedding immediately to prevent any more trouble!”
Then, Shen Gongbao took a sip of wine and said,""Of course, with that gust of wind just now, This Penniless Priest can blow it a few times without any problem. Do you understand, Su Hou?”
Su Hu wasn't a fool. He understood that the Demonic Priest was saying that if he could catch him once, he could catch him countless times. He didn't want to play any tricks. Although he was depressed, he could only nod silently.
……
On the other hand, Su Hu and Su Quanzhong had returned to the city dejectedly. The generals below had seen the marquis and young marquis being taken away by a strange wind and were greatly alarmed. Seeing the two return safely was very strange.
Su Hu ignored the generals and returned home.
At this moment, Su Hu's 17-year-old beloved daughter Daji was looking out of the mansion worriedly. Her flawless face was filled with anxiety.
She was originally a carefree noble girl from a wealthy family and had never encountered any hardships in her life. Now, her father rebelled because of her and the army of the Shang Dynasty came in large numbers. On one hand, Daji was worried about her father, but on the other hand, she was afraid that she would be humiliated if the city was broken. In just a few days, she had actually lost a lot of weight, but she had a different kind of morbid beauty. Even the servant girl of her colleague's woman could not help but be moved when she saw it. She secretly praised the lady's heavenly beauty and the beauty that could topple a country.
