My Immortal Brother-in-law

Chapter 30 Deng's Mountain

"Your Majesty naturally has his own plans. As generals, we just need to obey your orders."

Kong Xuan raised his hand to stop Deng Yuanjue from asking questions, then picked up a glass of wine and clinked glasses with Zhong Su beside him.

On the other side, hearing Kong Xuan's reminder, Deng Yuanjue took a deep breath and then nodded.

"Brother Kong is right. The king has given orders, and I just need to obey. I will go and gather all the generals and prepare to rush to Sishui Pass!"

"By the way, General Deng."

Kong Xuan suddenly spoke and stopped Deng Yuanjue who was about to gather the troops. After a pause, he finally spoke to Deng Yuanjue.

“This time… General Deng had better bring all the elite troops with him.

General Deng was far away in Sanshan and might not know that about a month and a half ago, Yindu had received news that Xiqi had secretly dispatched troops to attack Guifang.

Although the king did not allow Zhou Wangji to send troops, the king of Zhou obviously did not take the king seriously. Given the king's character, he would definitely try his best to suppress the new Xibohou at this time. "

"I see, that makes sense!"

Hearing Kong Xuan's words, Deng Yuanjue narrowed his eyes in understanding.

“This kind of situation has happened before. When the four lords became powerful, they inevitably developed some rebellious thoughts towards the Shang Dynasty. However, this new lord of Xi is too impatient.

The last person who offended the central government was Dong Bohou seventy years ago. That battle was so fierce that the world was in chaos. Look how well-behaved Dong Bohou is now.

And this new King Xibo has only been the leader of the Western princes for four years, right?

It's really fucking against Tian Gang!"

Having said that, Deng Yuanjue stood up and patted his armor in great dissatisfaction.

"Thank you, Brother Kong, for clearing up my confusion. I will go and gather the soldiers and kill another thousand slaves to swear an oath of war and offer sacrifice to the flag.

"We must go to Sishui Pass and make Xiqi unable to sleep or eat, in order to enhance the power of the Shang Dynasty and vent the anger of the king!"

“But be careful too!”

Kong Xuan stood up along with Deng Yuanjue, then patted Deng Yuanjue's shoulder armor hard.

"General Deng, you must take Xiqi seriously. Although Xiqi only has experience fighting against the Guifang, to defeat them like this, Xiqi must have trained a group of strong soldiers and have a master behind the scenes to guide them."

"Ha, General Kong, don't worry, I know what's going on.

When it comes to strong soldiers, my Sanshanguan soldiers have never been inferior to others. As for those so-called masters, huh!

Is there any master who is higher than me, the master of Da Shang? Is there any master who is higher than the master of Jiejiao?

I also know some famous Jie coaches and warriors. I will contact three or five good friends to go with me on this trip.

What's more, my Deng family was once taught the art of stone-beating by an alien. How could I be afraid of some expert? It is the expert who should be afraid of my five-color stone!"

Having said that, Deng Yuanjue proudly flipped his right hand, and immediately dozens of colorful pebbles were caught in his hand.

Looking at the handful of five-colored stones, Kong Xuan frowned and felt his nose itchy for some reason.

And Zhong Su.

He suddenly stood up, took out two boxes of treasures from the Tai Su Cloud Realm and placed them on the ground.

"General Deng."

Zhong Su bowed to Deng Yuanjue and continued.

"I am currently trapped in my cultivation and cannot go to the ghost side to retrieve my father's body. I feel very uneasy.

Therefore, I will give you some money as a gift for military expenses, and I hope you will accept it!"

"I appreciate Master Zhong's kindness, but I don't know what else he wants to entrust to me."

Faced with the enthusiasm of Zhong Suli, Deng Yuanjue very tactfully accepted the treasure and then asked Zhong Suli seriously.

"Does the Master want me to retrieve Master Zhong's body for you?
Of course I want to do that, but I can only stay in Si Shui and cannot go to where the Guifang are at all.

If this is what the real person wants, then I am afraid... "

"Don't worry, General."

Zhong Su raised his hand to interrupt Deng Yuanjue's words, then he raised his finger and pointed at the five-color stone in Deng Yuanjue's hand. "I will take back my father's body myself. When I finish my training, I will go to the ghost side in person.

However, the things I, a Taoist priest, use for my practice are somewhat special. They are exactly the five-colored stones in the general's hand.

I wonder if the general has any stock of five-color stone at home, or if the general has any information about five-color stone mines?

If there are any, I will not be stingy with the treasures, and I can buy some from you, the general."

Having said that, Zhong Su bowed slightly to Deng Yuanjue, and then waited for Deng Yuanjue's reply.

Upon learning of Zhong Suli's request, Deng Yuanjue was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

“If the Immortal asks me for the secret method of stone-cutting, I would be reluctant to give it to him. But if it is just the Five-Colored Stone, this thing is not worth anything. The Immortal is really polite.

One hundred and thirty miles west of Sanshan Pass, there is a Dengshi Mountain, which is my family’s fiefdom.

There is another river that originates from the mountain and flows southward for forty-eight miles. This small river is the Wuguang River.

Whenever there is a narrow bend in the river, there are many fragments of colorful stones washed down from the mountains.

If the needs of a real person are small, he can go to the Five Lights River and pick them up at will. If the needs of a real person are large..."

Deng Yuanjue paused for a moment, somewhat worried that the Wuguan Stone Mine might be dug out.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was no need to worry about this problem. There were just a lot of five-color stones on Deng's Mountain, and it was not the only place in the world where five-color stones were produced.

So he paused for a moment and then called his son.

"Ajiu, Ajiu, come here quickly!"

"Here comes Daddy."

Following Deng Yuanjue's call, a child about eight years old jumped and ran to Old Deng.

Deng Yuanjue patted the kid's head and said to Zhong Suli with a smile.

“Master, I will bring all my adult sons with me when I am transferred to Sishui Pass this time, but I still have this eight-year-old child at home, which makes me worried.

How about this, after I leave, I will let this kid lead the tiger for a few years for the real person. This kid is familiar with the surrounding mountains and rivers, and can search for stones for the real person.

In this way, the Immortal has a guide, my son has received the Immortal's strict teachings, and I can rest assured in Surabaya."

After he finished speaking, Deng Yuanjue narrowed his eyes cunningly.

If real people can take care of their own children at the same time, then it wouldn’t matter even if the five-color stone mine in Deng’s Mountain was mined out.

Looking at the uneasy child in front of him, Zhong Su thought for a moment and then nodded.

"Since General Deng is willing to let his son ride with me, I will naturally teach him a lesson for a few days.

General Deng is very generous. I will use the Deng Family Mountain of the General’s family to get there.”

"Master Zhong, you are too polite. Come, Jiugong, go get some alms and feed the horses for Master Zhong. I will come to pick you up when your father and your brothers return victoriously!"

At this point, Deng Yuanjue no longer had any worries, so he immediately said goodbye to the two men and went to the parade ground to gather his troops.

There were originally 200,000 soldiers from the Deng family at Sanshan Pass. After they left, only Kong Xuan was left with more than 20,000 soldiers to guard the city pass.

With such a huge gap in military strength, only a great general like Kong Xuan can make up for it.

Deng Yuanjue and his group prepared all night and set off in a hurry the next day.

Looking at the majestic scene of the army marching out of the pass, Deng Jiajiuer stood on tiptoe and pulled the saddle of Baihu, muttering sadly.

"I really want to go on the expedition with my brothers. I have also mastered the secret method of hitting stones."

“Yes, I know you are good at stone-chopping, but I wonder if you are also good at finding the way.

This path finding is a necessary skill for generals. A general who loses his way is not a good general. "

Zhong Su teased Xiao Jiu with a smile, which made Deng Jiugong promise to take him to the mountains to look for stones.

With this, Zhong Su packed the food prepared by Kong Xuan in the Cloud Realm, and then left the pass with Deng Jiugong and Hu Jiao and headed straight towards Deng's Mountain.
