Chaoge, royal palace.

Since hearing about the Grand Master's Western Expedition, there has been no court meeting in the palace for a long time. Emperor Xin only had fun with the nine-tailed fox demon every day, enjoying himself in the wine pond and meat forest.

What thoughts do you have in handling national affairs?

But today, this court meeting had to be held.

——Wen Zhong was defeated and died, and almost all of Chaoge's 200,000-strong army was lost in Xiqi. If Emperor Xin did not pay attention to such a major event that shook the court and shaken the country, he would probably use it.

It won't be long before the Xiqi army arrives at Chaoge City!

Above the court meeting, Emperor Xin was furious, roaring and angrily scolding the ministers in the court meeting.

"I heard that the Grand Master was defeated and died. I, Chaoge, lost two hundred thousand men in Xiqi. Don't you have anything to report back to me?!"

"You all claim to be virtuous ministers and generals in ancient times. Why can't you even respond to King Gu now? Ah?! Tell me, what is going on?!"

"Why is it so easy that our Chaoge army is defeated? We also killed Grand Master Wen... Without Grand Master Wen, who can guard the world for Gu?! You guys should tell us about it!"

No one spoke for half the time. It was not until Di Xin was tired of scolding that he slumped down on the throne with some lifeless eyes. Then the ministers below turned to look at each other and exchanged glances.

However, these ministers also winked at each other, asking each other to speak out, and then passed the blame to each other. So far, no one has dared to come out and cause trouble for the emperor at this time.

After all, over the years, most of the truly virtuous ministers and famous officials in the court have been harmed by the nine-tailed fox demon and Emperor Xin. Now among the Yin and Shang ministers, only Fei Zhongyouhun is left, who is fawning.

Who of these sycophants and sycophants will stand up in this time of crisis?

Di Xin slumped down on the throne, calmed down for a while, and then raised his head again and glanced at the ministers below.

"What? No one says anything? Don't you people usually claim to be capable of governing the country? How come now, when the lonely king really needs you, none of you respond to the lonely king?"

Scanned by Di Xin's murderous gaze, the ministers below finally panicked, and some finally couldn't bear the pressure and stepped out to say a few words.

"Your Majesty, this time I heard that Grand Master led an army to defeat Xiqi, but it has reminded us that Xiqi cannot be underestimated now!"

"I heard that Xiqi worshiped Jiang Shang as prime minister, and Lu Zhi, who was famous in court songs at that time. Doctor Lu is the commander-in-chief of Xiqi, and he also has many capable ministers and generals under his command."

"Even the invincible Grand Master Wen has fallen into the sand in Xiqi this time. Now Xiqi has developed into a serious problem for me, Chengtang!"

"So I believe that we can no longer allow Xiqi to develop like this. We must suppress Xiqi at this time and completely eliminate it. Otherwise, we are afraid that the country will be shaken!"

Di Xin glanced at the man with an unkind expression: "Don't King Gu know about this? What Gu wants is for you to come up with a way to eliminate Xiqi, and I'm not here to listen to you trying to reason with me!"

The minister's expression froze, and after thinking for a while, he had no choice but to continue speaking.

"Your Majesty, I think there are not many people in Xiqi, and there are only one hundred thousand soldiers under them. Even if they used some conspiracy and tricks this time to defeat Grand Master Wen and my Chaoge army, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. There will be no more soldiers in a short time.

I don’t have enough energy left to resist my Chaoge Heavenly Soldiers.”

"Therefore, I feel that the king should immediately select and send another general to conquer Xiqi. When his strength is still not restored, he can capture Xiqi in one fell swoop and flatten the city of Xiqi!"

Emperor Xin's expression changed. He thought so too. After all, putting down the rebellion of Xiqi was indeed the top priority now. However, now that he heard that the Grand Master was dead, who among his ministers still had the leader of the army?

Can he help him put down the rebellion?

After much thought, he couldn't find a suitable candidate. If it had been before, when Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu were still around, both of them could be handsome, and he wouldn't have to worry about this.

But now, Huang Feihu rebelled and came to Xiqi, and after hearing that the Grand Master died in battle, for a while, in the huge city of Chaoge, no one with the ability to lead the Western Expedition could be found!

As for the guards of the Five Passes, several people were trapped in Xiqi along with the Grand Master this time. The remaining few people are now not enough to guard the Five Passes, and they can no longer move lightly... In this way, let

Where can he find such a suitable candidate to take charge?

"The conquest of Xiqi is indeed the top priority now, but King Gu can't think of anyone who can take on this important task. Do you have any good candidates to recommend to Gu? Regardless of their status, as long as they are capable,

All can be played.”

Hearing this, Fei Zhong Youhun among the ministers couldn't help but look at each other, and then Fei Zhong stepped out and paid his respects.

"Your Majesty, I have recently made friends with a capable person in Chaoge City. He is a disciple of Saint Tian Zun. His abilities are not inferior to Grand Master Wen."

"Oh?" Di Xin suddenly became interested and asked, "Fei Aiqing, tell me quickly, who is the Taoist priest's name, what is his ability, and where is he now?"

"Report to your Majesty, the Taoist priest named Shen Gongbao, what he can do..." Fei Zhong thought about the gold and silver that Shen Gongbao gave him, and a smile appeared on his face, "What he can do,

He has the ability to reach heaven and earth, and has the ability to reverse the universe of yin and yang. He is truly a man of extraordinary ability!"

"Really?!"

Fei Zhong nodded heavily: "That's true! Not just me, Doctor You Hun has also seen the Taoist Priest's magical powers."

Emperor Xin looked at You Hun. You Hun, who had also received a large amount of gold and silver from Shen Gongbao, naturally helped to speak: "That Taoist Shen is very capable. This is what I and Dr. Fei have seen with their own eyes."

"What's even more valuable is that Taoist Shen has always had the heart to serve the country with all his heart, but because he has no way, he can't reach Tianting, become an official in the court, and be loyal to the king."

"I and Dr. Fei also couldn't bear to have such great talents wander among the people, so they went to the palace to recommend talents to the king. They also hope that the king can give them a chance to be used by the king."

Emperor Xin was immediately overjoyed when he heard this: "In that case, the two beloved ministers should have reported to Yu Gucai long ago. Why did they say it now?"

"Where is Taoist Master Shen Gongbao now? King Gu will send someone to invite him."

Fei Zhong smiled and said: "There is no need to trouble the king to send someone to invite him."

"Why is this?"

Fei Zhong took out three sticks of incense from his sleeves and said: "I don't know, your Majesty, Taoist Shen has already told me that if the King wants to find him, he will let me light these three sticks of incense left by him."

He will naturally sense the fragrance, and he will be here in less than a quarter of an hour."

"It's so magical? Then light the incense quickly. I can't wait to see this Taoist Master Shen."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

But it was said that Fei Zhong lit the incense in the palace, and the smoke on the incense condensed and did not disperse. It slowly rose up, floated out of the hall, and disappeared into the dark sky.

Then, Shen Gongbao really sensed it. Not long after, everyone in the palace suddenly felt a strong wind whistling from outside the palace, blowing them so hard that everyone almost closed their eyes.

And when the strong wind dissipated and everyone opened their eyes again, a Taoist named Qingxu wearing a dark yellow robe and a golden crown suddenly appeared in the hall.

I saw that the man was tall and straight, with a clear face, carrying a long sword on his back, and holding a snow whisk on his right arm. He looked like a master, and he was really good at showing off.

"Shen Gongbao, a poor man, pays homage to the king." Shen Gongbao bowed to the emperor with a reserved look on his face.

It has to be said that the sales of Shen Gongbao were really impressive, and his posture was just right. Na Di Xin couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised, thinking that he had really met some immortal figure.

"Okay! Taoist Master Shen has such magical powers! You can tell when it smells good, and you can do it in an instant. King Gu admires it."

"Master Shen, hurry up and invite me. There is no need to be too polite. You are one of the immortals in this world, so you don't have to care too much about these worldly courtesy."

Shen Gongbao smiled softly and bowed again: "Thank you so much for your kindness, Your Majesty. However, Your Majesty is the king of human beings, but a poor man cannot go beyond the rudeness."
