My Immortal Brother-in-law

Chapter 65 The Yin Family's Plan
"It has come to this..."

Listening to Kong Xuan's words, Zhong Su closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

If I'm not mistaken, it's only the beginning of the eleventh year since King Taiding ascended the throne, and King Taiding is actually only forty-six years old.

Ji Chang's divination was indeed accurate. When he predicted Tai Ding's life span, he determined it to be exactly that.

Then, I really have to go back to Yindu.

Thinking of this, Zhong Su opened his eyes, looked at Kong Xuan and nodded.

"I understand. I will rush to Yindu right now and must see my uncle for the last time."

"Brother Su, please accept my condolences. Birth, aging, illness and death are normal for human beings. Whether the soul is cultivating or transforming, death will not be the final separation. See it more clearly.

Once the king dies, there is no way to continue hiding the affairs of Ji Li.

By then, everyone in the pass leading to the west of the Shang Dynasty will be in danger. I, my elder brother, have to follow the king's order to guard the Sanshan Pass, so I will not accompany you back to Yindu."

"Well, don't worry, big brother."

Zhong Su nodded, then rode on the white tiger and took his family away from Dengshi Mountain and headed towards Yindu.

This was the first time that Deng Jiugong left Sanshan Pass, and he was extremely excited.

It was also the first time for Ao Tingxin to leave the East China Sea. Facing everything in the human world, this girl was so unrestrained.

On the first day of the group's journey, Ao Tingxin at least acted like a real newbie, carefully controlling his attitude for fear of displeasing Zhong Su.

But just a few days later, when Zhong Su arrived at Chentang Pass.

The young girl and Deng Jiugong took handfuls of gold and silver and went to the market to spend money happily.

Seeing that Tingxin was having a great time with Xiaojiu, Zhong Su was also in a good mood. However, for safety reasons, Zhong Su still asked for a fortune.

The hexagram showed that the two would be safe for the next few months, so Zhong Su was no longer worried.

At the same time, in the general's mansion, Li Shiying had already learned the news of Zhong Su's arrival.

Zhong Su's white tiger was too eye-catching, and the city guards reported it to Li Shiying the moment they saw the tiger.

So, before Zhong Suli, Baihu and Niuqiu had been strolling around for a while, Li Shiying came towards Zhong Suli.

Li Shiying greeted him from a distance.

"Master, it's me, Master. I'm Li Shiying from Chentang.

"It's been two years since we last met. You are still as charming as ever, but I have a lot more white hair. I am so funny to you, haha!"

While exchanging greetings, Li Shiying pulled Li Jing towards Zhong Suli.

Seeing that General Li came to greet him specially, Zhong Suli did not refuse and went into the general's mansion with Li Shiying.

Li Shiying's relatives were lingering in the Li Mansion, and they were probably discussing something with Li Shiying.

Now that Zhong Su had arrived, his relative was even happier than Li Shiying, and quickly sat around Zhong Su's table.

After three rounds of drinks, Li Shiying, the relative, cupped his hands to Zhong Suli.

“To be honest with Master Zhong, before Master Zhong arrived, my family and I had already talked about your name.

It’s not that I’m talking about Zhenjun on purpose, it’s just... there’s something I really want to ask Zhenjun for help with.

I wonder if you would like to hear me explain it in detail?"

This was the polite style of the Shang Dynasty. Merchants were much more straightforward than in the future. If they needed a favor, they would usually ask directly.

If you are willing to listen, then listen. If you don't want to listen, then don't say anything. That won't be difficult for others.

Seeing that Li Shiying's relative's attitude was okay, Zhong Su nodded slightly.

"Tell me what you want to say, but I have only been practicing for a short time, so I can't be of much help, please don't blame me."

"Haha, not really. It's very difficult for others to ask for a favor, but for you, it's just a matter of a word. To be honest, I want to borrow your favor and let me meet His Highness Zixian!"

"Just meeting?"

Zhong Su frowned slightly. At a time when the power of the Shang Dynasty is about to change, it may not be a good thing for you, a member of a wealthy merchant family with no official position, to meet the future king.

On the side, the head of the Yin family seemed to notice Zhong Su's hesitation, so he hurriedly explained.

“Don’t worry, Master. I don’t have any bad things to do to you. On the contrary, it’s a good thing.

The eldest son of Prince Zixian, Prince Zishou, is now ten years old, but a family has learned that Prince Zishou has no engagement yet.

Since His Highness Zixian has temporarily left his legitimate son's marriage vacant, it is obvious that he is waiting for a good price. In this case, a certain family should have the opportunity to secure one or two for their daughter.

Everyone knows that His Highness Zishou was born with supernatural powers, and no ordinary person can stop him. He must be the master of bears and tigers, and is blessed by heaven.

My Yin family has been blessed by the emperor for generations, and is closely related to the Shang Dynasty. My daughter should marry into the current royal family and complete the bloodline.

Before you came to Chentang, my Lord, I had discussed this matter with my relative-in-law Li. Yin's family is very wealthy and has pure blood, but no one in his family is an official, let alone the qualifications to directly seek an audience with the king or the prince.

When we talked about Doctor Dashang, we thought of you, the doctor of the past.

I wonder if the doctor could take me with him to Yindu and deliver a visiting card to His Highness Zixian on my behalf, so that I can meet His Highness and discuss the marriage of our children.

If the True Lord is willing, this family is willing to give him a hundred celestial herbs, a hundred pairs of pearls and jades, and even rebuild a temple for him and sculpt his golden body.

I wonder if the True Lord can help me with this?"

The head of the Yin family looked at Zhong Su expectantly, and Zhong Su thought for a moment and asked in confusion.

"You want to rebuild the temple for me and make a golden statue?

This statement seems to indicate that there is already a temple of mine in Chentang?"

After he finished speaking, Zhong Su looked at Li Shiying. Meeting Zhong Su's gaze, Li Shiying nodded and smiled.

“Your Excellency doesn’t know that after you brought rain to Chentang, some of the people of Chentang came together and paid to build several Rain Master temples for you.

The savages are even more active than the Chinese.

Ever since the wild men outside the city heard that it was not the Dragon King but the True Lord who brought rain that day, in less than a week, small sculptures appeared in the homes of the wild men, worshiping the True Lord as a god.

Zhenjun is a true man of morality, and his temple is not a place for worshipping wild gods. I was happy about that, so I not only did not stop him, but I even personally sculpted the first golden statue for him. "

After hearing what Li Shiying said, Zhong Su nodded in understanding. No wonder the scent of incense had been lingering around his three flowers half a year ago.

Although Zhong Suli is a serious immortal, he is not afraid of incense. It is not that he cannot practice immortality if he has incense. No matter from which angle you look at it, incense is a very positive material in the eyes of Qigong practitioners.

As for the Chinese people and barbarians mentioned by Li Shiying, they were a name used to refer to different types of people during the Shang Dynasty.

For merchants, people living within the city walls are considered Chinese compatriots.

Those who leave the city and live outside the mountains and wilderness are called savages.

In short, all my incense comes from Chentang, which is understandable, but the Yin family wants to marry Zishou...

After thinking about it for a while, Zhong Su nodded.

Although he could not remember too many historical details, he at least knew that Zishou's sons did have the surname Yin.

In other words, even without his help, the head of the Yin family still has a great chance of winning the position of Empress of the next few generations of human emperors.

Perhaps the head of the Yin family does not need to show up himself. Now this so-called request may just be a way to flatter himself.

In this case, Zhong Sulu readily agreed to the request of the head of the Yin family, and together with the wealthy Yin family, he rode through Chentang Pass and headed towards Yindu.

Hu Jiao was extremely happy that they were traveling together, simply because the Yin family had so many abundant resources.

Hu Jiao had been eating fish with Zhong Su for two years and was a little afraid of fish. But now she had a few good meals with the divine beasts trained by the Yin family.
