My Immortal Brother-in-law

Chapter 29 The King Wants to Attack Xiqi

The bright light of the sun hung down by the Golden Crow illuminated the nine heavens and ten earths. Just at Sanshan Pass, a goshawk stretched its wings to bask in the sun, flew back and forth in the sky, and then swooped down onto Deng Yuanjue's shoulder.

Deng Yuanjue glared with his old eyes and met the eyes of the eagle.

After a moment, Deng Yuanjue nodded in understanding, and then spoke to his eldest son who was riding a horse beside him.

"Wu Lu said that the group of people ahead is there, and the leader seems to be playing with a white tiger. I'm afraid he is the new general sent by the king."

"I know, that's probably the number one general of the Shang Dynasty, General Kong Xuan, whom you, father, admire so much."

Deng Yuanjue’s eldest son, Deng Zhonggong, nodded and looked expectantly towards the unknown ahead.

Deng Zhonggong should have had some resentment about the fact that King Yindu suddenly replaced their Sanshan Pass with someone else to guard it.

However, no one understood the king's plan better than Deng Yuanjue and Deng Zhonggong. Although their family had temporarily lost Sanshan Pass, they would probably have to fight wars and make achievements next.

Therefore, Deng Yuanjue and his family did not intend to go against Kong Xuan.

Now, upon hearing the news of Kong Xuan's arrival, Deng Zhonggong was not angry at all, but rather somewhat happy.

The sooner General Kong arrives, the sooner their family can go outside the Great Wall to fight and make meritorious deeds, in order to obtain a larger fiefdom to enhance their family reputation.

At this point, Deng Yuanjue and Deng Zhonggong simultaneously spurred their horses to speed up, leading the two thousand scouts behind them and rushing towards Kong Xuan's team.

About twenty minutes later, Zhong Su stood beside Kong Xuan riding on the white tiger and saw the group of people from Sanshan Pass showing their heads.

The two teams were far away from each other, so Deng Yuanjue raised his hand and ordered the team to stop, while he and his eldest son continued to move forward.

At the same time, Kong Xuan kicked the horse's belly and approached Deng Yuanjue with Zhong Su and Baihu.

After a while, the two sides gathered together. After the four of them dismounted, Deng Yuanjue was the first to bow to Kong Xuan.

"I haven't seen you for many years. I am already old and feeble, but General Kong is still in good shape and vigor. I really envy him.

This is my boy, Deng Zhonggong. When I leave tomorrow, it will be this lazy boy who will deal with General Kong.

My son, Zhong, the one riding the dragon horse is General Kong, why don’t you quickly salute and greet him! "

Hearing his father say this, Deng Zhonggong quickly saluted Kong Xuan, but after he finished saluting, he still couldn't help but continue looking at Zhong Su.

The world is just as Kong Xuan said, people are always attracted by appearances. Looking at the Tai Su cloud that emanated from Zhong Su's body, Deng Zhonggong, even though he was in his thirties, could not take his eyes away.

Seeing his son's behavior, Deng Yuanjue snorted in dissatisfaction. His son has lived in Sanshanguan for generations and his vision is really narrow. He has never seen the world.

But he was his eldest son after all, so Deng Yuanjue snorted and continued to bow to Zhong Sulu and asked.

"I, Deng Yuanjue, have also seen this immortal. I don't know where his immortal hometown is, his name, and why he came with my army of the Shang Dynasty?"

"General Deng, thank you for your courtesy. Grand Master Zhong Jue is my father. I am just a Taoist priest in the mountains. You can just call me Zhong Su."

"It turns out to be the son of Grand Tutor Zhong!"

Deng Yuanjue was shocked. This was an important person. If he remembered correctly, the king was the brother-in-law of Grand Tutor Zhong, right?
But, isn’t Master Zhong’s son a playboy in Yindu? How could he have such an immortal appearance?
Is this an illegitimate child?
Maybe so. After all, he called himself a hermit in the mountains. Master Zhong really rose up and left a legacy both at home and outside. We are really envious of him!

As he thought of this, Deng Yuanjue bowed again.

"I never thought that Grand Tutor Zhong's son was actually a successful Qigong practitioner. I hope you will not be saddened by Grand Tutor Zhong's incident. I am ashamed that I cannot follow him to fight against the ghosts!"

"Okay, Old Deng, when the king was still Wu Yi, you were imprisoned in Yindu for eight years. We were all very familiar with it during those eight years.

What's the point of doing this to me now? Have we grown distant? Instead of being polite, why don't you take me into the customs and have a good meal and drink!"

Kong Xuan raised his hand to interrupt Deng Yuanjue's greeting. His words made Old Deng give a helpless bitter smile.

Old Deng just bowed helplessly and then said.

"Brother Kong is still Brother Kong, but times have changed. We haven't seen each other for almost 20 years. How would I know if you still recognize me if I went there before?

But Brother Kong is right. You have traveled so far, you should have a good rest. Come, follow me into the customs and have some wine. I will hand over the affairs inside the customs to you. "

"In addition to the handover matters, I also have the rotation order from the king for your family.

The commands are all in the will, you can see for yourself later."

After Kong Xuan responded, the two groups joined together and marched all the way to Sanshan Pass.

Rumors always spread faster than news. The people of Sanshan Pass had long spread the news that the general was going to be replaced. As soon as Kong Xuan and his party entered the pass, countless people immediately blocked the city gate and watched.

After they saw the White Tiger Immortal Master and the energetic Kong Xuan.

At least the girls at Sanshan Pass were excited.

The new general is so handsome, and the military advisor he brought with him is also so handsome. The military advisor is riding a white tiger, so wealthy!
For a moment, things like hydrangea red silk fell from both sides of the road, covering Kong Xuan and Zhong Su like a rainstorm.

I don’t know how much the young ladies in Da Shang want to get married. They have hydrangeas ready at any time. Are they planning to smash them when they see someone pretty?

Faced with tons of hydrangeas, Kong Xuan showed off his skills. He hugged quite a few of them and threw them one by one under the white tiger's feet with his backhand.

Baihu was originally enjoying watching the game, and after being teased by Kong Xuan, he almost rushed out of the team and crashed into the crowd. It was only with the help of Zhong Su that he was able to control himself.

The two were not far away. Looking at Kong Xuan and Zhong Su playing, Deng Yuanjue narrowed his old eyes, feeling infinite emotion.

"Look, Ah Zhong, this is the top talent in our Da Shang.

Even though Grand Tutor Zhong is trapped in the southwest, the elites of our Great Shang Dynasty do not feel depressed at all, but are as confident and brilliant as before!

You need to learn this spirit, especially as a commander, you need to remain calm even when the sky falls!"

"Yes, father, they are having a great time. Can I ride the horse and play with them?"

Listening to his father's words, Deng Zhonggong nodded enviously, and especially wanted to join Kong Xuan, Zhong Su and Baihu.

As the two people played with the hydrangea, the people gathered around became more and more excited, and the whole Sanshan Pass became exciting.

But the more excited Sanshan Pass became, the more upset old General Deng Yuanjue became. What a stupid son!

You are already in your thirties, but you still only think about having fun. You are not capable of exploring new things, and you are not sure about maintaining success. What can I do?

General Deng sighed for a moment, watching the noisy team stop in front of the general's mansion.

The Deng family members in the general's mansion were also frightened by the lively scene outside. They quickly sent people to disperse the increasing number of people, and only after much persuasion could they snatch Zhong Suli and Kong Xuan from the crowd and bring them into the mansion.

After entering Deng's house, Kong Xuan put aside his playful thoughts and went to meet Mrs. Deng with Zhong Su.

After the two of them got to know Deng Yuanjue's other eight sons, the Deng family arranged a banquet so that everyone could sit down and chat.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Kong Xuan took out the king's decree and showed it to Deng Yuanjue.

Looking at the contents of the decree, Deng Yuanjue frowned and his expression became a little difficult.

"Brother Kong!"

He asked, pointing to the will.

"The king sent me to lead my family to the Sishui Pass, and also told me to gather all the elite troops.

But why Surabaya?

If I just wanted to defeat Guifang, I should have crossed Xiqi.

Sishui is the closest city gate to Xiqi in our Shang Dynasty. You are not going to attack Guifang, Your Majesty is clearly going to attack Xiqi!"
