In Shen Gongbao's opinion, he had made a mistake from the beginning. He had underestimated King Zhou's intelligence and thought that King Zhou would reward him with the Illusionary Light Mirror.
Who knew that not only was King Zhou not stupid, but he also used both hard and soft methods to make him inhumane.
Shen Gongpao had suffered a lot.
No matter what, the Illusionary Light Mirror was Liu An's.
Liu An was very happy to see Shen Gongpao's defeated look.
Aren't you a Shangxian from Mount Kunlun? Haha! Wouldn't you still fall into my hands? I can deal with you in minutes.
However, Liu An didn't want to bully Shen Gongpao too much. After all, he would need Shen Gongpao for many things in the future.
"Priest Shen." Liu An said lightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Gongbao quickly went forward and said.
"This king thinks that you didn't mean to make a mistake and that you have good intentions for this king. Therefore, not only do I not plan to take this matter to heart, but I also want to reward you! Tell me, what reward do you want?”Liu An's expression softened slightly.
Holy sh * t!
Shen Gongpao was immediately upset. He felt like he had been f * cked.
I was so kind as to offer you a treasure, but you're still angry at me.
If you don't mind, then return the Illusionary Light Mirror to me? You want to give me a reward? This is what I deserve, okay?
Shen Gongpao was very depressed. Although he knew that it was true, he couldn't say it out loud because Liu An's words were perfect.
Shen Gongbao was impressed by Liu An. He had forced him into a desperate situation with just a few words. How could Liu An be a fatuous ruler? He was clearly a famous ruler with a clear mind.
"Your Majesty, I am ashamed to say this, but I do have a request.”Shen Gongbao said awkwardly.
"Taoist Priest Shen, feel free to speak." Liu An said lightly. He had already grasped the rhythm of the conversation.
"This time, I came to the Shang Dynasty on the orders of my master, Sect Master Tongtian, to guard Great Shang's territory!”Shen Gongbao pretended to be serious.
Liu An's expression changed when he heard that.
"What do you mean? Isn't Priest Shen a disciple of the Primordial Heaven Supreme of Kunlun Mountain?”Liu An asked with concern.
In fact, he was already snorting in his heart.
Everyone knew that Shen Gongbao was jealous of Jiang Ziya's talent as a general and wanted to kill Jiang Ziya. Therefore, he was expelled from the Clan of Enlightenment by Honored Lord of the Origin. He joined the Shang Dynasty to fight against Jiang Ziya in order to get back at him.
However, Liu An couldn't say it out loud. After all, Shen Gongbao was very useful to Liu An. No matter what Shen Gongbao thought, as long as he was determined to help Shang Dynasty deal with Jiang Ziya and Xiqi, it would be easy for Liu An to help Shen Gongbao change his fate when Liu An's dream came true.
"Sigh, it's a long story." Shen Gongbao pretended to be sad and said," Jiang Ziya and I joined the sect at the same time. I am talented, but my master doesn't like me. Jiang Ziya is ignorant, but because he knows how to curry favor, he is deeply loved by Honored Lord of the Origin and his senior brothers. This time, Jiang Ziya left the mountain because he was ordered by my master, Honored Lord of the Origin, to overthrow the Shang Dynasty and establish a new dynasty that believes in the School of Enlightenment! I couldn't bear to see all the people in the world suffer a catastrophe, so I paid a special visit to Sect Master Tongtian. After receiving his order, I rushed to Zhaoge to help Your Majesty resist the Xiqi army supported by the Clan of Enlightenment!”
"This time, Jiang Ziya has just entered Xiqi. With King Wen's cunning, he will immediately be at ease with him. Therefore, this expedition against the Western Army is a key. Our Great Shang must win, or else Jiang Ziya will become even more powerful.”
Shen Gongbao's words were sensational and full of exaggeration. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably believe him without a doubt. However, this King Zhou was not that King Zhou. Now, he was under Liu An's command. His intelligence was many times higher than King Zhou's.
"I see. No wonder King Wen dared to declare himself king. It turns out that there's Jiang Ziya of Chan School.”Liu An said calmly.
"So, please let me follow the army to attack Xi Qi! He wanted to crush Jiang Ziya's arrogance and protect Yinshang.”Shen Gongpao said seriously.
There was a mysterious aura in his words, causing Liu An's mind to waver for a moment.
What kind of spell was this?
Liu An was on high alert! Shen Gongpao looked cunning, wretched, insidious, and dishonest. He had to be careful.
What made Liu An angry was that Shen Gongpao, this cunning guy, dared to cast a spell on him? This is a provocation to Wang Yan. If I don't teach him a lesson, do you really think I'm a pushover?
Liu An decided to teach Shen Gongpao a lesson!
Shen Gongpao secretly cast a spell to confuse him. He sneered in his heart. King Zhou, no matter how smart you are and how capable you are, you are still a mortal. In front of my Taoist skills, you have no resistance.
Shen Gongbao seemed to have seen Liu An agree to his request to follow the army and even give him an official position.
But who knew…Liu An, on the other hand, used his Basic Charm to fight Shen Gongpao.
Beginner Charm activated! Liu An only felt that his every move was charming. He even had the feeling of falling in love with himself. Don't blame him for being narcissistic. This charm was too strong.
" Jiang Ziya is so powerful?" Liu An pretended to be calm.
"Then we have to be careful! "Fortunately, Taoist Master Shen reminded us that our Great Shang army was spared. It's not too late to change it. I only need to order all the vassals to send troops and attack them a few times. No matter how capable Jiang Ziya is, he won't be able to cause any trouble.”Liu An acted as if he did not hear Shen Gongpao's suggestion and said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider." Shen Gongbao was a little anxious. It is not something ordinary people can do. If we let the army go out for no reason, we will suffer heavy casualties. It is better to let me go out with the army to solve the worries of the army.”
"Why does Taoist Priest Shen insist on going out with the army? If you are a spy sent by Xi Qi, then if I do as you wish, won't the Western Expedition Army be completely wiped out?”Liu An said coldly.
"This…" Shen Gongbao was speechless.
He looked at Liu An again. He was really like a god descending to the mortal world, giving him a heavy pressure. This kind of feeling, he had only encountered it with his senior brother who was much more profound than him.
How did King Zhou suddenly become so powerful?
Shen Gongpao's rationality told him that he could not continue, or King Zhou would really be furious.
"Then I'll do as Your Majesty says.”Shen Gongbao said with a disappointed look.
He had to admit that he had completely lost this time.
Facing such a smart King Zhou, he felt helpless.
Now, after a few words of confrontation, the reward that King Zhou had promised was gone. This time, Shen Gongpao had really lost both his wife and his soldiers.
"Don't worry, Taoist Priest Shen. I'm not being suspicious of you. It's just that Taoist Priest Shen has just arrived, and it's a little too hasty to immediately entrust you with such a heavy responsibility. Taoist Priest Shen just needs to wait patiently. When the time comes, I will arrange a good position for you.”Liu An said indifferently.
"Yes." Shen Gongbao replied.
He had a feeling of urgency to escape from this place.
Damn it, talking to Liu An felt like he was looking at Heavenly Lord Yuanshi. He didn't even dare to look straight at him.
"In a few days, the army will be going out. Why don't Daoist Priest Shen follow me to perform the rites for Marquis of North Bo?”Liu An saw Shen Gongpao's unhappy expression and suddenly smiled.
If Shen Gongpao followed him, it would prove that the relationship between the two was rapidly deepening, and it would also allow Shen Gongpao to integrate into the group faster.
This was beneficial to Shen Gongpao both for the public and for himself, and it would save Liu An a lot of trouble. It was a win-win situation.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Gongpao was a smart man, so he immediately replied excitedly.
The army was about to set out. Could Chonghou Hu's western expedition army defeat the aggressive Xi Qi soldiers?
