"Retreat!"
King Zhou ignored everyone's depressed expressions and left with a long laugh.
Everyone retreated, except for Marquis of the West, who frowned slightly at the sight of the Dongnan Marquis. However, he soon relaxed and followed the group.
In
the rear palace of the Eastern Palace, King Zhou was drinking wine with a carefree expression. Fei Zhong was waiting behind him, holding a scroll and constantly writing and changing it.
"These old fellows, do they really think I'm easy to bully?”
King Zhou drank a mouthful of wine. His attitude was extremely disdainful, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"The Dongyi people have been plundering the Eastern Lands year after year. A few years ago, I led the army to give them a ruthless blow. I didn't expect that after only a few years, they would be restless again.”
"Your Majesty is wise and invincible. If Dongyi invades, they will only humiliate themselves.”
Fei Zhong said respectfully.
"Hmph, hmph, what is even more difficult for me to understand is why the dukes are hoarding food and sending troops.”
Hearing King Zhou's words, Fei Zhong's forehead broke out in sweat."Your Majesty, it's hard to predict the hearts of the eight hundred vassals. I'm afraid there's a rebellion."”
After Fei Zhong finished speaking, he did not wait for King Zhou's reply. He raised his head slightly and saw King Zhou's face as gloomy as water. He immediately knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my slip of the tongue.”
"Haha!"
King Zhou smiled faintly and waved his hand to signal him to leave.
"Thank you for not killing me, Your Majesty.”
Fei Zhong felt relieved after receiving King Zhou's signal and retreated.
After Fei Zhong left, King Zhou held the bronze cauldron in his hand and took a sip of his favorite wine. He laughed involuntarily."Am I really so fatuous and unreasonable?”
"Haha!"
A light laugh sounded in the deep hall. King Zhou had a hobby. When he was resting, he did not like anyone to approach him. Therefore, there was no one within a hundred feet of him in the entire bedroom.
At this moment, a laugh rang out, causing him to raise his eyebrows. He raised his eyebrows and shouted coldly,"Who's here? I'll come out!"”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared in front of King Zhou. He was wearing a green robe and had a fair face. There seemed to be a smile on his handsome face all the time. It was Yang Jiao.
King Zhou was a little surprised, but his expression remained the same. It seemed that he did not care about Yang Jiao's sudden appearance in front of him at all. He waved his hand indifferently and said sarcastically,"Where did you come from? Do you think you can show off in front of me just because you have some skills?"”
In fact, King Zhou had long been tired of those cultivators and immortals. He thought that after learning some skills, he could enter the court as an official, be promoted, and enjoy endless glory and wealth.
Yang Jiao smiled slightly and did not care about King Zhou's mockery of him. You are King Zhou, right?"
"Since you know my name, why don't you kneel down?”
Yang Jiao smiled indifferently."I'm afraid your lifespan will be shortened if you ask me to worship you.”
"Moreover, even if you're the Human King, I can make a decision with a single word. Do you believe me?”
King Zhou raised his eyebrows and his expression became a little solemn. He cupped his hands and said,"I wonder who is the one who is going to be called?”
"Yang Jiao."
Yang Jiao opened his mouth slightly and spat out two words. However, these two words made King Zhou's expression change drastically, and he directly rolled up from the throne.
"Hahaha, it turns out that the Sacred Master is here. Please forgive me for being rude."”
At this moment, King Zhou was not rude at all. His posture was extremely rigorous, and he looked like a disciple who was listening to his teacher's instructions.
King Zhou did not seem to doubt the ability of the young man in front of him. Whether it was his identity as the sagemaster or his identity as the personal disciple of Sect Leader Tongtian, he did not forget that there were many civil and military officials of the Shang Dynasty and disciples of the Tribe of Severity.
No matter what, King Zhou did not dare to act rashly in front of Yang Jiao.
Yang Jiao gently shook his head. He was clever, but he didn't know the origin of the tyrant's name.”
The purpose of Yang Jiao's visit was to meet King Zhou. He wanted to see what the legendary tyrant looked like. If what everyone said was true, then he would do anything to change the Shang Dynasty. At least, compared to a terrifying enemy, Yang Jiao did not want a useless teammate.
Hearing Yang Jiao's question, King Zhou was mentally prepared. However, when he learned Yang Jiao's identity, he almost guessed Yang Jiao's intention.
He sighed slightly."The Sagemaster also thinks that I'm cruel and heartless. I kill to create my own nature. I don't care about the suffering of the people and enjoy my family?”
Speaking of this, King Zhou became angry and his face was full of anger."Just like today, the Marquis of the Southeast is still a small vassal who governs a city.”
"I asked him to provide 10,000 kilograms of grain and thousands of horses and cloth a year, but he told me that the southeast was suffering from a drought and locust plague!”
As he spoke, King Zhou sneered."Do you think I don't know how to farm? Ten thousand stones was the annual income of a town. For the Marquis of the Southeast, it was less than eleven.”
"That's fine, but Sagemaster, this person gathered the Marquis of Jizhou and the other 18 vassals, but secretly used my name to wantonly harvest the people's wealth.”
"Haha, I believe that it won't be long before the Marquis of Jizhou starts a rebellion.”
Yang Jiao had been quietly listening to King Zhou's words and did not interrupt. Perhaps it was because it was difficult to find someone to talk to, but at this moment, King Zhou was not as unreasonable as in the court.
"Since you knew that the Marquis of Jizhou would rebel, why did you allow him to slander you and not retaliate?”
Hearing this, King Zhou sneered. He opened his hand and clenched it in the air, his eyes sparkling."Nine out of ten vassals are rebellious. It's too troublesome to come one by one!”
"Why don't I wait for them to come and find me? Wouldn't it be a good thing to settle it together?”
"Haha!"
Yang Jiao shook his head and smiled. This King Zhou was indeed not as simple as he looked. However, the situation was still too low. If this was a world without immortals and gods, this ambition might really succeed. However, this human world would soon become a battlefield for immortals.
"What does the sagemaster think is wrong?”
When King Zhou heard Yang Jiao's chuckle, he could not help but raise his eyebrows and ask.
"Don't forget that in the entire world, power is supreme, and those who control power are all immortals and gods.”
"Could it be that even immortals and gods want to interfere in the affairs of our human race?”
King Zhou narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
Yang Jiao shook his head. Perhaps he shouldn't have given him so much pressure. He waved his hand."You don't have to worry about these things. I have a plan. You just need to be a wise ruler."”
King Zhou sucked in a breath of cold air."Sagemaster, is there a conspiracy behind this?”
"There are some things that are useless to tell you. You just need to do your own thing and remember not to lose yourself. If you really become a tyrant, then there is no need for others to punish you.”
Yang Jiao stopped King Zhou's inquiry and said softly.
King Zhou stood up, cupped his hands, and said solemnly,"Yes!" I will definitely remember your words."
Yang Jiao nodded and disappeared.
"Sagemaster!"
King Zhou shouted loudly, but he did not get a response. He collapsed on the jade chair and sighed.
"Great King!"
Urgent shouts came from outside the door, as if they were alarmed by King Zhou's shouts.
"It's fine! You can leave now."
"Tomorrow, Your Majesty still needs to go to the Hall of the Holy Mother to pay his respects, so please rest early.”
Fei Zhong reminded in a low voice.
"I know. Don't bother me.”
When King Zhou was frustrated and impatient, he could not bear to listen to advice. He immediately roared.
