Prehistoric: I am the Ten Cold River God, and I am buried in Tang San at the beginning

Chapter 218 Fear is the blade, greed is the bait!
He shouted again, and the surrounding guards immediately stepped forward, guarded him closely, drew their swords, and swore allegiance to the death.

However, their power was insignificant in front of Jianglong and Tang Sanzhan.

Jiang Long waved his hand, and the powerful momentum shook everyone away like an overwhelming force. When the weapons collided, there was only a sound of metal collision. The guards retreated one after another, and the swords in their hands fell weakly.

Looking at the rapidly collapsing defense line, King Zhou of Shang was stunned and could not believe what he was seeing.

"You... who are you, how dare you break into my palace? Don't you know who I am?"

His voice had lost its former majesty and was tinged with a tremor.

"Amitabha, the poor monk came from the east. Due to the sudden storm, he saw that the nearby villages were suffering and demons were rampant, so he came to visit without permission and begged King Zhou of Shang to come forward to help the neighboring villagers."

Long Xiang's words were calm and firm, as if he were talking about an everyday thing.

King Yin Zhou's brows were filled with confusion, and he could not figure out the true intentions of these people for the moment.

However, he observed that the two people in front of him showed no signs of immediate action.

"Just for this matter?" He took a step back, speaking carefully for fear of offending the two monks.

The power that could overwhelm his followers in an instant was beyond common sense, making him regard them as extraordinary beings.

"Amitabha, this poor monk has no intention of escalating the situation. It is only because the king lacks trust in us that he took the liberty to visit us. I hope the king can understand."

Tang San was buried calmly, but the evil look in his eyes made King Zhou of Yin feel chilly.

understand?

How dare he not understand? So what if I don't understand? Are we going to mobilize the entire army to encircle and suppress them?

Previously, hundreds of people outside the city couldn't handle it, but just a few dozen people could suppress it? Absolutely ridiculous!

"You, you." King Yin Zhou swallowed and calmed down, "Please sit down and talk in detail. There is no need to rush into action."

Damn it! He is the Lord of the Ninth Five-Year Plan and the master of the common people. How could he be frightened by two monks? If this spreads out, wouldn't it become a huge laughing stock?
You must regain your face, otherwise you will lose face if it is spread in the future.

"Come here, give me a seat."

he ordered.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Tang San said humbly.

In the hall, Jiang Long and Tang San were sitting on the seats given by King Zhou of Yin. The small table in front of them was filled with mellow wine and exquisite fruit plates, but this was not their enjoyment. Monks had strict precepts and did not drink meat or wine.

"Why don't you get right to the point, Your Majesty."

Tang Sanzong suggested, turning his gaze to King Zhou of Yin above.

"well."

King Yin Zhou's mood eased slightly. He saw that Jiang Long and Tang Sanzong had no ill intentions. If they really had murderous intentions, they would have already taken action and would not waste their words here.

With their strength, it would be easy to kill him. With just a flick of the hand, his head might have fallen to the ground.

At this moment, they are willing to sit down and talk, which undoubtedly shows that there is room for change.

Therefore, King Zhou of Yin nodded without hesitation to any conditions proposed by Jiang Long.

"The king must have noticed that there were strange phenomena coming from the sky, surging floods, damaged treasure lands, flooded villages, displaced tens of thousands of people, and even demons took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. The villagers were trapped internally and externally, and were in a critical situation."

Jiang Long said slowly.

"What should I do?"

When King Zhou of Yin heard this, he looked worried. How could he know nothing about those trivial matters? Perhaps an important court minister once mentioned it. It was during a lengthy court meeting, and the ministers were discussing some matters in detail. However, his thoughts had already drifted far away, and his mind was full of how to expel those who invaded the frontier. Dongyi tribe.

The life and death of those villagers did not leave any ripples in his heart, and his attention was completely focused on the plan to consolidate Zhou Xinjiang.

However, at this moment, when this topic was touched upon again, although a trace of contempt flashed deep in King Zhou's heart, he knew that there were two noble "celestial masters" in front of him, so he had to suppress his emotions and maintain the dignity that a king should have. of majesty.

"Dear gentlemen, I am currently very busy with my affairs and facing a severe moment of intrusion from foreign enemies. It is difficult for me to distract myself from other matters."

Trivial things?
General Long Yin frowned slightly and focused his scrutinizing gaze, "Does Your Majesty regard the contributions of the villagers as a trivial matter?"

"All living beings are equal and life is precious. The two of us traveled thousands of miles and witnessed the plight of the villages along the way, and we both felt sad.

However, manpower is sometimes limited. Even if we try our best, how much can we save? Therefore, I sincerely request your Majesty to send troops and horses to the surrounding villages for rescue. This is the expectation of the people of Li. "

Long Yin's words were so convincing that the officials around him nodded in agreement.

After all, as a monarch, you should have a compassionate heart and the safety of the people must not be forgotten for a moment.

If you ignore the suffering of the people, this king will be despised by all people!

However, only King Zhou of Shang turned a deaf ear to this, with a look of contempt on his face.

"Two masters, the battle on the frontline is tight and we need a steady stream of troops to stabilize the defense line. How can we disperse our troops due to the difficulties in just a few villages? If this is delayed and the barbarian Zhou people invade, the consequences will be disastrous and people will be in ruins."

"Two masters, are you too worried? Sacrificing hundreds of people to preserve the Shang Dynasty is a very good deal."

The words of King Zhou of Shang seemed reasonable, but Jiang Long and Tang San were unable to agree.

However, from the perspective of the villagers, is this not callous and callous? The king is respected by all people and is supposed to protect the people, but now he has deviated from his original intention and only cares about his own interests.

Facing natural disasters and chaos, the helpless villagers hoped that King Zhou of Shang on the top of the mountain would lend a helping hand, but he broke his oath and treated the people like nothing!
"Therefore, Your Majesty thinks that sacrificing several people in exchange for the peace of the Shang Dynasty is really worth the price? Everything in the world has a spirit, especially human life."

Tang Sanzian's tone gradually became darker and his brows furrowed.

"We are not forcing your majesty to take action. We only hope that your majesty will send reinforcements to bring a glimmer of hope to the villagers. That's all..." Tang Sanzian's request was concise and clear.

"Today, if Your Majesty is unwilling to assist, the two of us will stay here forever to pray for the suffering people in the world until King Zhou of Shang changes his mind."

General Long Yin made a strong decision and decided not to give in, as if he wanted to become a strong iron wall.

Di Xin fell into deep thought for a moment. According to common sense, he should have taken immediate action in the face of their provocation.

However, after witnessing their amazing performance, the two people seemed to transcend the mortal world. Arrows could not penetrate their protective bodies. Even in the face of furious attacks, they remained unscathed, which was obviously extraordinary.

Therefore, Di Xin's concerns are clear: he is unwilling to mobilize the army easily. Such action is undoubtedly a waste of resources. Assisting those useless villages will only put the soldiers in danger and may even become a potential threat to them.

However, if he refuses, will it make the two masters unhappy? As monks, they are honest in their words and deeds, do not take action easily, and do not seem to pose a real threat to themselves.

However, they have shown their strength along the way and made violent incursions. If they reject them, I am afraid that the situation in the Shang Dynasty will change drastically tomorrow.

"I agree to send a team." Di Xin thought about it again and again, and after weighing all factors, he finally made a decision, "Two masters, can you accept this arrangement?"

After saying this, Di Xin felt relieved, secretly glad that this thousand-man team should not bother him anymore.

If there is nothing else, leave quickly, he really doesn't want to see them again.

Fortunately, Di Xin's thoughts were not leaked to Jianglong and Tang Sanzang.

When they heard Di Xin's promise, their joy was beyond words.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I'll leave the rest to you."

"It's a trivial matter..." Di Xin cursed in his heart. They came all the way just to say some empty words of gratitude. How stupid they are!
What does the life and death of these villagers have to do with me? They do not rely on them, and the current war situation is tense. If the mobilization of military strength is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.
