Deng Chanyu and Jiazi performed the worship at Huang's residence, fulfilling the ritual obligations.
The Huang family is wealthy and influential. The Huang woman who used to take good care of Deng Chanyu has passed away due to illness. However, the younger sister-in-law of the Huang family, who married Deng Xiuxiu, is still alive. Without Huang Tianhua, the family's path to immortality is blocked. Without Huang Feihu, they have also lost a significant portion of their military power. Now, relying on the connection with the younger sister-in-law of the Huang family, as an outsider relative, they are safer than before.
Deng Chanyu sighed and said, "So many friends have passed away, and our era is coming to an end."
Jiazi: "?????"
She pondered for a moment: "My father's days are truly numbered."
According to rumors, Su Ben should have died in the battle against the acne master Yu De. However, the grass on the graves of Yu De's family is tall enough, and Su Laoji is still alive and strong.
Huang Feihu belongs to the type of web novel main character who "can go back and inherit a hundred million family assets after death." By blinking his eyes, he can recover his cultivation achievements before reincarnation. With the qualifications of the Battle of Sheng, he can also adjust his work post when he goes back, which is indeed winning big time.
Su Hu doesn't have these past lives and experiences. He's just a mortal warrior. Whether he should die soon to be listed among the deified, or live a few more years before being reborn in another cycle, depends on Daji's decision.
Either way, Deng Chanyu is prepared. If Su Laoji dies now, she will arrange for him to have an easy job in the heavens. If he wants to live a few more years, she will help Daji send him off with the help of other Immortals. She will even sing a song to celebrate his departure, and the title has already been thought of: "Father's Departure at the Foot of the Mountain."
Zhou's gathering of feudal lords for an alliance, my son thinks what Han's country should do.
Lao Deng and Lao Huang are not the usual master and servant relationship; they are more like partners in a company, with the Deng family having a larger share. After years of working together, it's impossible to say there were no conflicts, but they were mostly kept within a manageable range. Now that the old friend is gone so suddenly, Lao Deng is a bit saddened.
In his view, Lao Huang's departure makes him two years older than most, so he probably won't be far behind.
Deng Chanyu did not say that she has altered your destiny, such actions can be taken, but it is best not to mention.
She barely hesitated about the alliance matter: "The position of the overall ruler no longer exists, and Zhou's country is forcefully taking on this title. Let them have it, as it's ultimately just an illusion anyway."
Deng Jiagu thought she didn't agree with the alliance, but Deng Chanyu turned the conversation: "It's okay to go and see, Zhou's country is unjust and will not last long."
The current Zhou country, besides the original Xi QI basic plate, has also added the land of Henan and parts of the regions in east and north of the river, with a considerable territory. These areas are mostly the essence regions of the former Shang, Zhou and XIA dynasties.
The territory is vast and the land is fertile, but there are no people, no manufacturing, no farmers or artisans. What good is it then?
If there are a hundred blacksmiths in Zhou's country now, Deng Chanyu will lose. She then explained the theory of counterattack after being attacked, and counterattack before being attacked, to steady Su Laoji and not rush. Let Zhou continue to soar for a while longer.
At this moment, it is really impossible to start a war. The gods and Buddha of all the heavens all hope to quickly, immediately, and immediately confer immortality. If Han attacks Zhou, it will again delay several years of time. The longer it is delayed, the more likely there will be changes. No one knows what else might happen. While King Zhou's body is still warm after his death, hurry up!
Deng Jiagu sighed. He was truly worried. Although he himself is in good health, many old ministers have died in recent years, one after another. Another two years, and might there be even more decline? The initial soldiers of Zhou were not good; they were farmers for the soldiers and children with yellow hair for the commanders. Now, after twenty years of continuous fighting, both soldiers and commanders have been trained. On the other hand, many of the elite troops Han brought from the Great Shang have died over these years.
The previous year, the old minister Mei Bo was burned to death in a warehouse by a group of corrupt officials and bureaucrats. He died in a very tragic way, which is equivalent to burning the imperial envoy.
Last year, Tailuan, a general who had followed the Deng family for a long time, was ambushed by the barbarians and suffered more than ten arrows. He returned to the camp and passed away immediately.
The same year, Ding Ce, who was promoted by Deng Chanyu, died of plague.
This year, Huang Feihu and his son Huang Tianhua have also passed away.
The elite forces of Han are constantly declining, and various commanders and officials are dying in various ways. Deng Jiagu doesn't know why this is happening and can only attribute it to fate.
Deng Chanyu and Jiazi looked at each other, both aware of what the conversation implied: It indicates that the process of conferment is drawing near.
After Deng Jiagu left the Huang residence, Deng Chanyu and Jiaji also took their leave. On their way out, they concealed their tracks, wandering like invisible people through the streets and alleys of the capital.
"Are you going to help your big brother?" Jiazi asked.
Han's determination to compete for the throne is well-known. The issue now is whether the Deng family father and son can fulfill this task.
After the conclusion of the conferment, the Immortals of the Chuan and Jie Sects return to their mountains. If Deng Chanyu helps her father, Han will certainly win, but such action will bear great consequences.
Deng Chanyu stretched out her right hand and felt the Phoenix aura of NanDu from a distance.
In the past, the Great Shang was the Tianming Xuanniao (Heavenly Destiny Mystic Bird), Zhou's country was Fengming Qishan (the phoenix crying on Mount Qi), and Han's country was Bai Niao Chao Feng (hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix). The fortune of the Phoenix tribe surged. Unfortunately, with the fall of the Great Shang, the Xuanniao fortune waned first. Zhou and Han will inevitably go to war. Whichever side wins, the fortune of the Phoenix tribe will greatly diminish, and it is an predictable matter that the fortune of the dragon tribe will rise in human affairs.
The Phoenix fortune is very close to her, and it silently called twice.
Deng Chanyu said: "I will not participate in the war after that. I believe they can succeed. Do you know how hard my brother works?"
This weirdly double-meaning sentence, Jiazi has heard it before, many times. She rolled her seductive eye: "How hard is your brother working?"
"My brother loves reading the most, he is skilled in astronomy, geography, medicine, divination, and astrology; he knows everything and understands all."
Jiazi was clearly skeptical: "Oh oh, that really is impressive."
In reality, Deng Xiu has almost worn out his old version of "Sister's Words" and has indeed gained a lot of insight into governing from it. He can recite the stories of Qian Shou Fei Jian and Yu Zhi Bo from memory. With such a rich knowledge base, to defeat Zhou's country without Jiangziyuan isn't just easy, it's effortless!
Lao Deng only saw the weakness of Han's country. He didn't realize that this was an era where "rotting" was being compared. Although Han's country had weakened, Zhou's country was even weaker. The biggest hidden danger here is King Chi Chang's ninety-nine sons. Now there are still forty-seven left.
Jiaji doesn't often come back to Nan Du, so she plans to go back and spend time with her father. At least she needs to think seriously about whether her father should die soon or wait a while before dying.
After Jiaji left, Deng Chanyu called Fe Zhong and You Huang: "I have entrusted you to bribe Zhou's royal family. How is the matter going?"
Now that she is no longer a member of the Xuan School, claiming "poor Dao" is inconvenient. Moonlight has entered Buddhism, so she cannot call herself "poor Monk". Now the status of women is not as low as it used to be, and it hasn't reached the level of "lowly wife" or "myself". As a princess, calling herself "this palace" is completely fine.
