Wen Zhong had naturally seen through the danger behind the poisoning.
"Your Majesty, now that Ji Chang's disloyalty is obvious, I am willing to personally lead 200,000 troops to destroy Xi Qi and kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!”
"At that time, most of the dukes who were on good terms with him will probably be obedient.”
Wen Zhong suggested to Di Xin.
Although Ji Chang had a good relationship with many dukes, even the last of the four dukes, Marquis of South Count E Chongyu, was secretly on the same side as him.
However, Wen Zhong was sure that if they were to send troops to attack, they would have to use Xi Qi's name of instigating Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziqi to poison the Shang Emperor.
Therefore, not many vassals would brazenly risk such a crime to help Xiqi resist Zhaoge's army.
When the chaos in Xi Qi was settled and that Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, was eliminated, they would lose this leader with a different heart.
The remaining dukes who were on good terms with him wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.
Hearing Wen Zhong's suggestion, Di Xin started to consider.
'Ding…please choose.'
"1. According to Wen Zhong's suggestion, immediately send troops to destroy Xi Qi. [Reward: late-stage Golden Immortal flood dragon soul essence.] (Can be refined into a magic treasure and turn it into a low-grade Postnatal spirit treasure. Its power is extraordinary.)”
"2. Summon Ji Chang to Zhaoge to plead guilty in exchange for Xiqi's immortality. [Reward: One Sea Calming Pearl.] (A primordial spirit treasure that has existed since Pangu created the world. It can emit five-colored light to cover the eyes of others. It contains the power of a small chiliocosm and is extremely heavy. Even dozens of mountains cannot compare to it.))”
"3. Quietly wait for the tribute from the vassals half a month later, then take the opportunity to imprison Ji Chang. [Reward: Twelfth-grade Black Lotus of Annihilation seed.] (Originally, it was the supreme primordial spiritual treasure of the Devil Ancestor Luohou. It was destroyed during the battle with the Taoist Ancestor Hongjun, leaving only this seed. It can absorb the killing intent and blood Qi of the battle matrix, bloom again, and form a twelfth-grade lotus throne.))”
The moment he saw the three options, a light flashed in his eyes.
It had to be said that the rewards for this selection were quite generous!
Putting aside the Sea Calming Pearl and the twelfth-grade Black Lotus of Annihilation, just the soul essence of a late-stage Golden Immortal flood dragon was already an extremely good artifact refinement item.
As far as he knew, the two whips that Wen Zhong obtained from his sect were only the soul essences of two early Golden Immortal flood dragons.
Although the power of this flood dragon's soul essence was not as good as the rewards of the latter two options, it was most suitable for his current realm.
However, with the Sea Calming Pearl and the twelfth-grade Black Lotus of Annihilation, Di Xin naturally wouldn't give up on these two choices and choose the former.
After all, even though the Dragon Clan had declined after the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, it was not impossible for him to obtain a Golden Celestial Stage flood dragon's soul essence.
After considering how to deal with Xi Qi, Di Xin finally made a decision.
Then, he shook his head and said to Wen Zhong.
"The Grand Preceptor's suggestion is indeed reasonable, but in my opinion, now is not the best time to attack Xi Qi.”
"In half a month, it will be the time for the vassals to pay tribute. At that time, we can use this opportunity to imprison Ji Chang as an accomplice and then deal with Xi Qi.”
Di Xin said with a smile.
He had chosen to deal with Ji Chang when the vassals paid tribute, not only because of the reward that the system had chosen.
It was a decision made after careful consideration.
Now, the entire Great Shang, and even the people's views on King Zhou's original misdeeds, had gradually changed. The people's hearts had just begun to accumulate.
Under such circumstances, Di Xin was naturally not in a hurry to mobilize his troops and cause more chaos.
Because the longer he delayed, the more advantageous it would be for him.
In any case, with the crime of Ji Chang supporting Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziqi in poisoning, he could use the righteous cause of rebellion to attack Xi Qi at any time, there was no need to rush now.
Hearing Di Xin's words, Wen Zhong's eyes lit up.
At the same time, he looked at Di Xin in surprise.
"Your Majesty, you see that this old minister was indeed too hasty.”
Wen Zhong cupped his hands and said to Di Xin.
He discovered that after this King had benefited from a disaster, he seemed to have become more far-sighted and could actually think so deeply.
Wen Zhong couldn't help but think,'Could it be that the Yellow Emperor's True Scripture also has the teachings of the Emperor's Mind Technique?”
