Zheng Lun and Chen Qi's appearance and attire caused Lu Xiong, Er 'Lai, Zhang Guifang, and the others to be extremely surprised.
Even Ye Chen, who knew about it in advance, thought that the two of them might be biological brothers after seeing their true bodies, let alone others!
Although Zheng Lun had been hiding for many years, he had a fiery temper. When he saw Chen Qi's attire, he thought that the latter was imitating his attire and almost fought with Chen Qi.
Chen Qi had a similar temperament, so he would not spoil him.
If Ye Chen, Zhang Guifang, and the others hadn't stopped them in time, the two of them would have really started a god-like version of " The Real Sun Wukong " outside Azure Dragon Pass!
After their anger subsided, the two of them stood on one side and stared at each other.
However, they were also extremely surprised. They all suspected that their parents had given birth to a child without telling them.
Otherwise, how could this person look so similar to him?
"Hey! Where do you live? What's your name?"
Zheng Lun pointed his Devil-Slaying Pestle and asked Chen Qi.
Chen Qi was instantly enraged." You're the idiot! Your entire family are idiots!"”
"What did you say? Do you want to fight?"
Zheng Lun was also furious.
"If you want to fight, then fight. This general is afraid of a small grain officer like you?!”
"Hey! Damn it!"
Seeing that the two were about to start fighting again, everyone who was watching the show was speechless.
However, Lu Xiong, Er 'Lai and the other generals didn't mind the commotion, their eyes filled with interest.
They also wanted to see who was stronger when these two boorish men, who were suspected to be twins, fought!
"Alright!" Ye Chen said in time. Did you ignore my words?! Whoever makes another sound will be killed immediately!"
Seeing Ye Chen's anger, everyone's expression changed slightly. They hurriedly bowed and did not dare to say anything.
Zheng Lun and Chen Qi also lowered their heads and said at the same time,"I was rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty!”
Ye Chen's expression softened a little. He looked at Chen Qi and asked,"Where do you live? Where did he learn from? When did you enter Azure Dragon Pass?"
Everyone looked at Chen Qi curiously.
Chen Qi didn't dare to hide anything. He cupped his hands and replied,""Your Majesty, my name is Chen Qi and I live in the Great North Sea Pass. My father was originally a deputy general in the army. He died on the battlefield and left me and my mother behind. However, I have been practicing martial arts with my father since I was young and have learned some martial arts.”
"Unexpectedly, one day when I was out hunting, I met a Taoist in the mountains who taught me a secret technique. After I learned it, I joined the army under my mother's persuasion to serve Great Shang. In March last year, I was transferred to Azure Dragon Pass and became a deputy general under General Qiu Yin.”
Everyone instantly understood. Zheng Lun's brows relaxed slightly.
Ye Chen also nodded slightly. It seemed that it was indeed a coincidence. Chen Qi and Zheng Lun just happened to look alike!
The only suspicious point was that Daoist!
"Do you know the name of that Taoist?" Ye Chen asked Chen Qi.”
Chen Qi cupped his fists and said," He claimed to be a West Kunlun Qi Practitioner, but he did not tell me his Daoist name nor did he accept me as his disciple. However, I changed my fate because of him. Even if he did not accept me, I would still call him my teacher!”
When Zheng Lun heard that, he was instantly shocked and hurriedly asked,""Is he wearing a black Daoist robe, with black hair and white eyebrows, about forty years old, and holding a purple dust?!”
"Hmm?"
"You know my teacher too?" Chen Qi looked at him in confusion.!”
Seeing this, Ye Chen's eyes flashed. It was indeed Daoist Master Du'e!
This Immortal Du'e is interesting!
It seemed that he would have to pay a visit to West Kunlun if he had the chance in the future!
Not only for Immortal Du'e.
This was because other than Daoist Master Du 'e, there were many other mighty figures cultivating in seclusion in West Kunlun!
For example, Daolord Lu Ya, the tenth prince of the ancient demons, and the Queen Mother of the West, the head of the ancient female immortals.
All of these mighty figures had once lived in seclusion in West Kunlun!
As for the Jade Palace created by Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, it was in East Kunlun.
East Kunlun and West Kunlun were two famed immortal mountains. They did not belong to the same place.
At this moment, Zheng Lun looked at Chen Qi with a complicated expression and said,""My name is Zheng Lun, and I am also a disciple of the West Kunlun's Daoist Master Du 'e!”
"What is it? You…"
Chen Qi was stunned. He looked at Zheng Lun and his expression eased up a little." So my teacher is called Daoist Master Du'e…"
Zheng Lun cupped his hands and said," Since you've already received the teachings of your master, you can be considered my fellow disciple. I hope you can forgive me for offending you just now!"”
Chen Qi was not a petty person. He immediately cupped his hands and replied,"It's just a small matter. What's there to worry about!"
Seeing that the two of them had reconciled, Ye Chen nodded and looked at Chen Qi."Chen Qi, I want to take you to the North Sea to quell the rebellion. Are you willing to fight with me?”
Chen Qi immediately cupped his hands.”
Ye Chen nodded slightly, then looked at Zhang Guifang beside him and said,"Minister Zhang, do you have any objections to taking Chen Qigu away?”
Zhang Guifang hurriedly bowed and said," What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Everything in the world belongs to the Shang Dynasty. We generals learn skills to serve Your Majesty. It is His Majesty's honor to value Chen Qi. How can I dare to stop him?!"”
Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction." My dear minister, every word you say makes sense. You're indeed a loyal minister of Great Shang!"”
"Your Majesty is too kind!"
Zhang Guifang smiled humbly.
Ye Chen smiled and nodded." In that case, I won't stay any longer. The war in the North Sea is more important!" I'm very relieved to leave Azure Dragon Pass to you to guard!”
This sentence made Zhang Guifang and the generals behind her smile. They cupped their hands and said,"Your Majesty, you praise me too much.”
Ye Chen shook his head and smiled." I mean every word I say. All of you are the backbone of Great Shang!" However, now that the world is in chaos, everyone needs to be more cautious and guard against the rebels everywhere. You can't be arrogant and careless!”
"We will not let down the Great King's trust. We will pledge our loyalty to Great Shang and the Great King!”
Everyone was excited as they cupped their hands and shouted.
Ye Chen nodded and pulled the reins. The Purple Jade Kylin stepped forward.
After entering Guanzhong, everyone waited for Chen Qi to settle everything. Then, he brought his 3,000-strong Flying Leopard Army and escorted the rations with Zheng Lun.
Following that, under the watchful eyes of the Azure Dragon Pass generals, the army continued to move north.
On the Green Dragon Pass, with Zhang Guifang as the leader, the generals looked at the retreating back of the army excitedly and discussed,
"Didn't the rumors say that the king favored the demon concubine, used treacherous officials, killed ministers, and was muddle-headed? Why did he feel that the king was not such a person?”
"I already said it's a rumor! Don't you know what kind of person the king is? When he was still the Third Prince, the king had led the army to the east and the south to the barbarians. The vassal states and their affiliated tribes were terrified. How much territory had he opened up for Great Shang?!”
"That's right! The king did not only obtain the throne because of his identity as a direct descendant prince!”
"I don't know which dog spread such rumors. If I find out, I'll definitely tear him apart!”
…
Azure Dragon Pass was not far from the North Sea.
This time, Ye Chen did not change his itinerary. He listened to the opinions of his generals and chose the shortest route. He traveled day and night, not stopping even in the starry night, heading toward the North Sea at full speed.
Along the way, Ye Chen passed by the flood-stricken area in the north. Only then did he realize that the situation was much more serious than he had imagined.
Many places were occupied by Wang Yang. The flood washed away the houses and submerged the crops.
Many commoners died because of this, and many innocent people drowned or starved to death!
The surviving commoners went to the nearby cities to seek help. Those who had no hope of seeking help directly left their homes and fled elsewhere.
Although the world was now under the Shang Dynasty, it was riddled with holes and war broke out everywhere.
Many commoners heard that Xi Qi had a Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, who was famous for being a saint and sympathized with the commoners. Thus, most of the disaster victims went to Xi Qi, hoping to ask for alms and survive.
Along the way, Ye Chen remained silent.
He didn't stop the army to help the disaster victims, nor did he stop the people from going to Xi Qi.
The root of the flood was in the North Sea. Even if they were saved now, they would not be able to stop the flood. Instead, it would delay the military situation in the North Sea. If it caused even more serious consequences, the gains would not make up for the losses.
As for Xi Qi, he didn't have time to deal with it.
After all, Xi Qi was still affiliated with Great Shang. Even if they sent troops to attack, they would have no reason to do so. Instead, they would be called a fatuous ruler. Moreover, they would probably arouse the vigilance of Chan School.
At this moment, his foundation was too weak. He could drag it out as long as he could!
Therefore, the most important thing now was to restore the reputation of Beihai!
He would deal with the flood after the rebellion was resolved!
After two days, the army finally left Yanzhou and arrived at the North Sea.
The scouts had informed Grand Preceptor Wen about the reinforcements, so Grand Preceptor Wen had already received the news.
When the army arrived at the border of the North Sea where Grand Preceptor Wen was stationed, Grand Preceptor Wen personally brought people to receive them.
From afar, Ye Chen could see Cang Hu riding a black Qilin, leading a group of people toward them.
However, Ye Chen only glanced at Grand Preceptor Wen before shifting his gaze to the burly man beside him. He was riding a red-maned horse, wearing silver armor with a beast's face and holding a halberd.
