Chapter 744 - I... I obey the order!
Three days later, inside Chentang Pass.
Li Jing stood in the study, holding a secret letter he had just received in his hand, frowning deeply.
The news that Emperor Xin was preparing to inspect Chentang Pass was like a huge rock hitting his heart, causing layers of ripples. As a general guarding the gate, he understood what this means - not only to prepare for everything, but also to deal with the series of tests that come with it.
Whether it is the Dragon Clan or the inside of Chentang Pass, I am afraid that I can't help but investigate.
With Emperor Xin's character, what should I do if I really think that the Dragon Clan is unhappy and raise troops to launch an attack on the entire Dragon Clan?
Just as he was worried about this, there was a burst of rapid footsteps coming from his home.
"Sir! Sir!" The servant rushed into the study panting, interrupting Li Jing's contemplation, "Madam, she is going to give birth!"
Li Jing was shocked and the secret message in his hand almost fell. He quickly put down the letter, walked out of the study room, and walked towards the backyard.
As his steps were rushing, a thought kept flashing through his mind.
If there is a problem with the wife’s childbirth at this moment, what should I do?
There were already many people gathered in the delivery room in the backyard, and the maids were running back and forth, preparing all kinds of things to use.
When Li Jing pushed open the door, a nervous breath came to his face. Yin Shiniang was lying on the bed, her forehead covered with sweat, her face was pale but still a little tough.
"Sir, come and have a look." A peaceful woman said anxiously.
Li Jing quickly walked to the bed and held Yin Shiniang's hand.
He could feel the temperature in his wife's palms was extremely high, and he had obviously experienced a long period of pain.
At this critical moment, something shocking happened in the delivery room - Yin Shiniang's belly suddenly stopped contracting, as if time was still at this moment.
"Sir, this is not right." Wen Po's voice was filled with a hint of panic, "Madam's situation is a bit strange."
Li Jing's heart tightened and was about to ask, but he suddenly saw a gust of wind passing outside the delivery room. He looked over and saw that Hu Danyou You had stood at the door at some point, and the familiar fairy aura was still surrounding his head.
"Zhengren Hu!" Li Jing shouted in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"If I don't come at this time, you're afraid you're going to hate me to death."
Hu Danyou You smiled slightly, quipped, and walked directly to the bed: "Get out of the way, let me take a look."
The peaceful ladies quickly stepped back and gave up space for Hu Danyou You.
He reached out and gently pressed Yin Shiniang's abdomen, and a gentle energy immediately flowed out of his palm.
Li Jing stood aside and looked at this scene, feeling mixed in his heart.
Since he met Hu Danyou You last time, he has been grateful to this mysterious monk, but at the same time he is also a little uneasy.
Now that Li Jing saw him appear again, he felt a little relieved, but he couldn't help but wonder... Where is this person's origin?
Immortal?
Is it an explanatory teaching or an explanatory teaching?
If it is an immortal of the Ancient Sect, wouldn’t it be another trouble for the upcoming Emperor Xin team?
But even if it's trouble, this person belongs to him and his wife.
At this moment, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from the delivery room. Yin Shiniang's body trembled slightly, as if something was restless inside her.
"Madam, you need to use force." Hu Danyou You's voice was calm and powerful, "The child will come out soon."
However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the delivery room suddenly changed. A huge ball of flesh suddenly bulged in Yin Shiniang's abdomen, which was not a normal fetal shape.
Li Jing and the rest of the women all took a breath and their faces turned pale in an instant.
"What is this?" a peaceful woman shouted in horror, "This... this is a monster! It is a monster!!"
Hu Danyou You seemed extremely calm: "Don't panic, this is not a monster, but the destiny."
As he said that, he took out a long sword from his sleeve, and the sword was filled with a faint golden light.
Originally, he could use any sword, but in order to show that Nezha was destined to be the destiny, he still chose to give the sword a layer of BUFF!
Hu Danyou You gently touched the tip of the sword to the surface of the flesh ball, and a golden light spread out instantly.
With a crisp "click" sound, the meat ball cracked and a baby rolled out from it - not an ordinary baby, but a baby wrapped in red silk!
Everyone in the delivery room was stunned, including Li Jing and Yin Shiniang, who were so shocked by this scene that they could not speak.
Hu Danyou You reached out and gently untied the red silk, revealing the sleeping baby inside.
It was a cute little face, pink and tender with a bit of spiritual energy, no different from an ordinary baby, but a faint golden light appeared above his head.
"This... is this our child?" Yin Shiniang asked in a trembling voice, with her mother's instinctive joy and a little confused on her face.
Li Jing stood there in a daze, looking at this special baby, feeling mixed feelings.
The news that Emperor Xin was about to come seemed to be temporarily thrown behind, replaced by an indescribable mood - he was both relieved to give birth to the spiritual beads for his wife, and he was full of doubts about the origin of the child.
Hu Danyou You gently picked up the baby and handed it to Yin Shiniang: "Madam, what you gave birth to is not an ordinary child. He is destined to take on an important task."
Li Jing's heart moved and he looked at Hu Danyou You: "Immortal, is this... this child really the reincarnation of that spirit bead?"
Hu Danyou nodded, with a little deeper look in his eyes: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have to come here in such a hurry."
"It's just this kid... it's a bit unusual."
Li Jing's heart tightened: "Please make it clear by the real person."
"Do you know why he was born in the form of a meatball?"
Before Li Jing could answer, Hu Danyou and You spoke slowly and explained: "This is because he contains the power of the spirit pearl in his body. If he was born normally, it would inevitably cause many disasters."
"And the purpose of my appearance is to help him be born smoothly and guide him on the right path."
Li Jing and Yin Shiniang looked at each other and felt a heavy feeling in their hearts. They knew that the arrival of this child was not only their son, but also an existence that shouldered heavy responsibilities.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came outside the delivery room. A servant rushed in in panic: "Sir! No! Emperor Xin's envoy has arrived outside the pass, saying that he wants to enter the pass immediately!"
Li Jing's heart sank and he quickly stood up.
He looked at Hu Danyou You, feeling grateful and reluctant: "Real person, thank you for your help. But now..."
Hu Danyou You smiled slightly and patted his shoulder gently: "It's okay, I still have something important to do, so I'll say goodbye."
The convoy is almost at Chentang Pass. If I leave my incarnation there, I will probably be suspicious.
It's better to have it earlier.
As he said that, he carefully handed the baby to Yin Shiniang and turned toward the door.
Just as he was about to leave the delivery room, he suddenly turned back to Li Jing: "Remember one thing - this child is not an ordinary child, his fate is closely related to you. If one day he asks about his origin, don't hide it. But there is no need to mention me, just say that he is the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl."
Li Jing nodded and watched Hu Danyou leave.
At that moment, he felt both grateful and a little worried.
"Sir, what should we do now?" Yin Shiniang's voice pulled him back to reality, "Di Xin is coming..."
Li Jing took a deep breath and gently held his wife's hand: "As long as he doesn't ask about Nezha's origin, we don't need to say much. When the time is ripe, the most important thing now is to prepare to welcome the Holy Driving."
Deep in his heart, he could never let go of the mystery of the origin of that baby, but... the top priority now is to welcome Emperor Xin into the pass.
Early that morning.
Hu Di Xin You led a large army into Chentang Pass in a mighty manner.
The soldiers accompanying him were wearing bright red armor and shining with a terrifying light in the sun.
The sound of horse hooves was deafening, and the flags were waving. The entire team was like a long steel dragon, crushing the streets, leaving behind a piece of dust.
Hu Dixin You rode on a tall war horse, wearing a golden dragon-patterned brocade robe, a crown on his head, and his eyes swept sharply at the people on both sides of the street.
His face was filled with a kind of majesty and indifference that was unique to the emperor, as if he was scrutinizing a group of ants.
Just beside him, Su Daji rode on a white horse, with a calm expression and a hollow gaze, as if she had no interest in all this.
It seemed that she was just a decoration around Hu Dixin You, so she just followed her along the way.
On the other hand, the Nine-tailed Fox Su Wanxian is completely different.
She sat in a gorgeous sedan chair, curiously looking at the grass and trees in Chentang Pass through the gaps in the curtains.
The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and there was a glimmer of excitement in her eyes, as if everything here made her feel novel and pleasant.
Laughing came from time to time from time to time, crisp and pleasant, but with a hint of uneasy frivolity.
In Chentang Pass, wherever the army went, the people on both sides of the street bowed their heads and held their breath, fearing to look at this majestic team.
Their eyes revealed deep disgust and fear, but they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. The people of Chentang Pass have long been accustomed to this oppression, but this is the first time they have seen this king in their name... !
Even so, they knew very well that the root of all the oppression they had suffered came from this person!
"bye!"
Every time the soldiers accompanying him walked for a distance, they would spit out a word in unison.
"The king is wise! The king is mighty!"
There were people chanting in a low voice on both sides of the street, neither cold nor hot, as if they were dealing with errands. When Emperor Xin heard these flattering words, his lips raised slightly, showing a smug smile.
Hu Dixin You had long been accustomed to the fear and surrender of the people, and the satisfaction brought by this power made him feel extremely happy.
The nine-tailed fox Su Wanxian poked her head out of the sedan chair and observed everything around her with great enthusiasm.
She seemed to be curious about the architecture and street layout of Chentang Pass, and asked the maids who were accompanying her from time to time.
The Nine-tailed Fox Su Wanxian's voice is sweet and beautiful, but it has an elusive and weird feeling, as if she is planning something.
Su Daji seemed particularly cold, as if all this had nothing to do with her.
Her eyes were always on Di Xin, which was a deep and complex look. She seemed to be thinking about something, but she seemed to have no interest in everything around her.
Her existence seemed to be a cold shadow, shrouding the entire team.
Emperor Xin's army finally arrived at the central square of Chentang Pass.
Although it was hasty, it had long been decorated in a magnificent manner, with colorful ribbons flying to welcome the arrival of this tyrant.
However, the eyes of the people revealed deep disgust and disdain.
They whispered, their hearts filled with dissatisfaction and resentment towards Di Xin, but... they could only talk.
"Long live the king! Long live the king!"
The people were forced to kneel on the ground and shouted in unison.
Although their voices were uniform, they seemed to be emotionally unresponsive, as if they were reciting a boring article.
When Hu Dixin You heard these voices, a smug smile appeared on his face, as if it was all under his control.
The nine-tailed fox Su Wanxian jumped out of the sedan chair, ran to Di Xin's horse excitedly, and looked up at him: "King, the people here look really interesting! Do they all like you so much?"
Her tone was light, as if she was talking about an insignificant little thing, but it had a disturbing sense of playfulness, like curiosity, or like... mockery?
Hu Dixin You looked down at the Nine-tailed Fox Su Wanxian, and a playful smile flashed in his eyes: "Of course they like loneliness, at least on the surface."
There was an unquestionable majesty in his voice.
Nine-tailed Fox Su Wanxian smiled slightly, and a cunning light flashed in her eyes: "Yes, I am worthy of being my favorite king, but I think there seems to be something strange in their eyes..."
Her tone was gentle, as if she was joking, but Hu Dixin You heard some deep meaning from it.
He ignored this.
No one knows better than him his position in the hearts of these people.
Not to mention that people hate dogs, it is also a level of grudges and anger.
Su Daji stood aside, staring at all this coldly.
She seemed to be indifferent to the frivolous behavior of the Nine-tailed Fox Su Wanxian, as if all this had nothing to do with her, just like a wooden man, looking at everything in front of her calmly.
Emperor Xin's eyes glanced back and forth between the Nine-tailed Fox Su Wanxian and Su Daji, and a complex feeling surged in his heart.
These two really have their own temperaments. If they continue to live with the identity of Emperor Xin, they really don’t know if they will be affected by the Taoist heart.
Fortunately, according to the plan...it is estimated that the Battle of the Gods will end in a few years.
Hu Dixin You's eyes swept over the people in the square again, his eyes full of majesty and indifference.
He knew that he was the supreme existence here, and no one dared to disobey his will. Now... he was waiting for when Li Jing would come.
There were still crowds of people in the square, and everyone's eyes were filled with deep resentment and dissatisfaction.
As the nine-tailed fox Su Wanxian continued to wander, the demonic aura subtly affected every human around him.
The anger gradually boils!
However, most people suppressed the anger in their hearts, as if they had an opportunity, these anger would gush out.
Hu Dixin You stood on the platform, and behind him was a group of fully armed soldiers. They held sharp swords in their hands and looked vigilantly at the crowd below.
He also pulled out a jade fan from his arms and swayed it gently, but it could not dispel the heat of summer.
He could feel the deep hostility mixed in the hot eyes of the people, as if they wanted to tear themselves to pieces.
This is exactly what he wants!
Otherwise, he would have spoken out long ago to stop the Nine-tailed Fox Su Wanxian's behavior.
"King, Lord Li Jing and Lord Yin Shiniang have already set out and should arrive soon."
A guard whispered from the side.
Hu Dixin You nodded, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Let them come quickly. I can't wait."
Among the crowd in the square, a man slowly squeezed forward from the crowd.
His face was pale, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his eyes were filled with angry flames, and he stared at Hu Dixin You on the platform.
If you endure it, you will endure it again and again, there is no need to endure it anymore!
He looked at Hu Dixin You on the platform and a low roar came from his throat.
"Tyrant! Why do you... have the reputation to sit on the dragon throne! You should abdicate! You should let the wise! You should bring your harsh taxes and get into the underworld earlier!"
The other people in the crowd showed a look of horror.
They knew that the man's behavior was undoubtedly seeking death.
However, no one around tried to stop him, but someone whispered to his scolding.
Hu Dixin You's fingers tightened the jade fan slightly, and a playful smile flashed in his eyes: "It's interesting."
The man walked towards the platform step by step, and the crowd automatically made way for him.
His eyes were crazy and desperate, as if he had put his life and death aside.
Hu Dixin You had a hint of joke in his eyes. He did not order the soldiers to stop the man, but waited quietly.
"King!" A guard suddenly reminded, "This man..."
Hu Dixin You chuckled and said nothing, and the guards around him had to let him walk to the high platform.
The man finally rushed under the platform, raised the stone in his hand and smashed it towards Hu Dixin You.
The next moment!
Li Jing in the distance nipped his toes and came straight from the distance to the air!
Because Yin Shiniang had just given birth, she didn't dare to exert too much force, so she could only continue riding on the horse and rushed to the front of the square!
"Stop!" Li Jing shouted, slapped the man's arm with a palm, and the stone fell to the ground.
The man staggered and almost fell!
Fortunately, Yin Shiniang rushed back and had already supported him.
With a hint of pity in her eyes, she asked the man, "Are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing?"
The man struggled to push her away, his eyes filled with tears of despair: "I can't watch you...watch the people of Da Shang being ruled by this tyrant! He is not worthy of living in this world!"
Li Jing looked at him coldly: "Do you know what the crime is insulting the king?!"
"What crime? What crime do I have!"
The man roared, "I am for the Da Shang Dynasty! For the people! For the people of the world!"
Li Jing glanced at him and did not say anything, but turned to look at Emperor Xin: "King, this person is already crazy. Please give him to the minister for disposal!"
"oh?"
Hu Dixin You stood on the platform, watching the scene from a high place, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Li Jing, what do you want to deal with him?"
"this……"
Li Jing felt a chill in his heart. He originally wanted to turn big things into small things, but it would be fine if he kept this guy for a few days.
But now Hu Dixin You asked, how should he answer?
It was this hesitation.
Hu Dixin You's voice slowly rang: "Gu Zhi, you all hate me, right?"
“It’s better…”
Hu Dixin You stepped forward and looked down at everyone: "I will give you a chance, a chance to kill me!"
"Now there are hundreds of thousands of people in Chentang Pass, and I have only brought less than a thousand cavalry. You can kill me in Chentang Pass!"
"As long as you are willing to pay a certain price, it can definitely be done."
"But... do you dare?"
Everyone was silent!
Although they were furious, they still maintained their most basic sanity.
If you charge now, some people will die. When Di Xin is killed, everyone in the city will die!
They are not so angry yet!
"It seems you dare not."
Hu Dixin You responded calmly and glanced at Li Jing.
"Li Jing, you have another chance to answer an orphan question. If you answer incorrectly... orphan, you may not do anything!"
Li Jing felt a little shocked, and he turned around and looked at the man: "What else do you have to say? Now is your last chance."
The man stared at Di Xin with anger and despair in his eyes: "I curse you! I curse you and your people! May you always fall into pain! May your rule collapse sooner or later!"
When Hu Dixin You heard this, it didn't matter at all. He just looked at Li Jing beside him: "Li Jing, what do you think this person should be guilty?"
Li Jing's heart sank. He knew what trick Emperor Xin was playing.
If he expressed his opinion, Di Xin might be even more angry; but if he didn't say it, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.
"My..." He gritted his teeth, "I think this person is extremely guilty and deserves punishment."
Hu Dixin You nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, it seems that you finally understand how to treat orphans."
Li Jing's heart tightened, he knew what would happen next.
Sure enough, Di Xin said, "Since that's the case, then you will deal with this crazy person yourself. I will give you a chance to prove your loyalty."
"My name..." Li Jing's voice trembled, "My name is obedient."
He turned to look at the man, his eyes full of contradictions and pain: "Come with me."
The man showed a desperate expression on his face: "You are all crazy people! Have you all forgotten who you are? You are humans! First, it is human race, and then the human race of Da Shang! Why do you want to perish yourself for this corrupt dynasty! ”
Li Jing said nothing.
Just waved the sword with his hand and ended the man's life.
Di Xin stood on the platform with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
He knew that Li Jing must be full of contradictions, but he wanted to make this contradiction his weapon. The essence of power lies in the fact that people lose their true nature and struggle between loyalty and conscience.
This kind of struggle will gradually affect Nezha and finally cultivate a spiritual bead that wants to overthrow the Da Shang!
From the moment, the plan... is going well.
But he didn't expect that not long after, the vest on his body would be lifted off by Nezha himself!
