The king of Zhou was suffering from the fact that he had just ascended the throne and had few people to obey his orders.

The reason why he did not kill Jizhou Hou Su Hu and Chentangguan Li Jing was that they still had talents to use and had no obvious rebellious intentions, but he could not find a specific way to control them.

As for Su Hu, King Zhou had arranged for Master Huang Feihu to use both kindness and force, and it was expected that it would be settled in a few days.

After all, Huang Feihu and King Zhou were good friends and confidants since childhood!

The Huang family has been a senior official for eight dynasties, with great military achievements. In the generation of Huang Feihu, he made great contributions to the pacification of the four directions and was awarded the title of King Wucheng. Now he is one of the few subordinates under King Zhou who truly obeys his orders.

Huang Feihu's son Huang Tianhua had the opportunity to become a disciple of Qingxu Daode Zhenjun. Now he is also a heavenly soldier instructor in the heavenly court, leading the most elite Yinshang ethnic army.

With their father and son, the Marquis of Jizhou can no longer escape.

Only Li Jing has a special identity. When he first started practicing, he was a disciple of the casual cultivator Du'e Zhenren from Xikunlun, and then he became a disciple of the Taoist Master Ran Deng, and his seniority has risen!

This was also the operation of the Chan Sect in those days, intervening in the human race's world, but Li Jing did not know it.

Therefore, even though King Zhou was dissatisfied with Li Jing's seclusion and unwillingness to serve the court, he could only ignore Li Jing for the sake of the Chan Sect, but he was secretly angry.

The Human King succeeded to the throne, and the world belonged to the King. The presence of Li Jing was like a thorn in the throat, making King Zhou unable to sleep well.

So he took advantage of the rebellion of the Beihai princes to summon all the royal nobles, princes and generals with heavy troops to Chaoge, and forcibly gathered the power that had been dispersed for a long time for the Human King!

Hearing Shen Gongbao's method, it was indeed a good opportunity to forcibly control Li Jing!

There was no hesitation, and Shen Gongbao was immediately appointed as the divination priest, the position of the great fortune teller!

This position is really not low for an outsider.

The diviner is responsible for the court's divination, astronomical phenomena, and good and bad events. He is in a high position and has always been the elder of the clan, but he has no real ability and only has a position.

Now King Zhou has inserted Shen Gongbao, which can be regarded as an ulterior motive.

Taking this opportunity, he can not only control Li Jing, but also let Shen Gongbao manage those ancestral temple divination events that he cannot interfere with as a human king, so that all the divination results are what King Zhou wants!

Otherwise, once King Zhou wants to reform the court drastically, those old guys in the ancestral temple will always use the bribery and control of the nobles and princes to oppose the human king everywhere!

This time, King Zhou wants to kill two birds with one stone!

When King Zhou ordered Fei Zhong to write the imperial edict to Shen Gongbao on silk, a mysterious human luck enveloped Shen Gongbao, which immediately made the kneeling Shen Gongbao shudder, but he couldn't suppress his ecstasy in his heart.

"Thank you, King of Man!"

King Zhou sneered and threw the silk to Shen Gongbao.

"Shen Gongbao, you are the great fortune teller appointed by me. You should know what to do in the future, right?"

"Go, take care of Li Jing's affairs first, I will give you a big reward!"

After these words, Shen Gongbao was even more grateful. Holding the silk was like a life-saving straw. Without the support of the Chan Sect, he could still stand out and be among the immortals!

No, being an important minister of the King of Man is much better than being a puppet Yin Shenxian in heaven!

"Yes, I will do it right away!"

"Discipline Li Jing and Nezha, father and son, and serve my Shang Dynasty wholeheartedly!"

After saying that, Shen Gongbao had a grim smile on his face, and then he laughed and went out. As soon as he stepped out of the bedroom, he instantly turned into a dark cloud and flew into the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye!

As Shen Gongbao left, the guards who were stunned by the spell finally woke up.

King Zhou sat on the couch calmly as if nothing had happened, shaking the wine bottle and drinking it all. Fei Zhong, who was beside him, served carefully, and could not believe the content of the conversation he had just heard.

"Fei Zhong, summon Huang Tianhua to the palace to see me immediately."

"Kill all these guards in the palace, a bunch of trash, they can't even stop Shen Gongbao, who is in the realm of Xuanxian. What use do I have for them?"

Fei Zhong trembled with fear after these words, but he didn't dare to look up.

"Yes!"

Then he bowed his body and retreated carefully, not daring to make a sound, and hurried to find Huang Tianhua.

King Zhou, however, recalled the chess piece Shen Gongbao that he had planted, and chuckled.

As a human king, Shen Gongbao's almost threatening method,

Naturally, he would not gain his trust. Appointing him as the Grand Master of Divination was just to use him. As long as he achieved his goal, he would have plenty of ways to manipulate Shen Gongbao in the future.

On the other hand, Shen Gongbao was complacent. He took the king's appointment and went straight to Li Jing's mansion!

The Li family was also an important official of the Shang Dynasty. Naturally, there was a magnificent mansion in Chaoge. The old lady and Li Jing's sisters lived there. They were also the hostages that Li Jing sent to Chentangguan to replace him.

At this moment, the inside and outside of the Li family were all guarded by the king's imperial guards. In the name of protecting Li Jing's safety, it was actually house arrest!

In Li Jing's mansion, the four generals of the Mo family paced back and forth in anger, screaming.

Mo Liqing was the most irritable, with a pair of eyes as big as copper bells.

"General, King Zhou is clearly putting us under house arrest here. If we don't resist, we will just be like the Xibo Hou and feed horses!"

Hearing their elder brother's frank words, the three younger brothers couldn't help but talk.

"That's right, General. If we don't do it, we brothers will protect you and fight our way out of Chaoge. Who can be our opponent except the old Grand Tutor?"

"I don't think the Human King dares to use force. He has only been on the throne for three or five years. He is still young. Even the elders in the court can defeat him. How can they fight us?"

"If we don't leave now, it will be too late. The young master was born less than a month ago. If there is a mistake at Chentang Pass, who can protect him?"

Li Jing sat at the desk, with a jade face and beautiful beard, holding a military book, but he was not panicked at all.

"You four, please be patient."

"Although Nezha was born not long ago, you four couldn't beat him even if you joined forces before he left, am I right?"

"What else is there to worry about?"

"I'm just afraid that Nezha is young and Madam is soft-hearted. I'm afraid she won't discipline him strictly. Don't let him get into trouble!"

As soon as these words came out, the four generals of the Demon Family were immediately embarrassed.

Indeed, Nezha was as big as a three-year-old child when he was just born. He could walk everywhere within three days. He was born with supernatural power. Even the four generals of the Demon Family in the Xuanxian realm were no match for him!

They were so irritable mainly because they were worried about Li Jing's safety.

After all, the experiences of Xibohou and Dongbohou could not be hidden. No one knew whether King Zhou would suddenly attack Li Jing!

At this moment, a servant suddenly ran in from outside the door.

"Report!"

"Master, there is a man outside the door claiming to be the newly appointed great fortune teller of the king, and also your fellow disciple of the Chan Sect, and wants to come in and pay his respects!"

"He said he came to save the life of the third young master!"
