Furthermore, Chi Yaotai has received a lot of guidance from Jiang Ziya during this month, and with the current environment being rich in spiritual energy, her part-time work has progressed by leaps and bounds within this month.

Jiang Ziya brushed the dust off his body with a look of disgust. He was about to scold Qin Wu, but then he thought better of it. Wasn't he just like this when he first learned these Five Elements Escape Techniques?

Jiang Ziya: (Zhao Mahao) "Alright, stop fooling around. Call Chi Yaotai, let's set off right away!"

Qin Wu was immediately dumbfounded: "Why call her? It would be better to have her stay home to protect Master's wife. If she leaves, who will take on this job?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ziya simply replied mysteriously, "What are you doing? I have my own plans!"

Qin Wu suppressed his anger: "Fine, you wait, I'll go get that tigress right now!"

"Who are you calling a tigress?"

Chapter 558 Uproar at the Dragon Virtue Hall (Part 1) (4)

Outside the Longde Hall, all the ministers stood motionless, waiting for the morning court session, except for Qin Wu, who was covering his face and quietly crying out in pain.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ziya, that old scoundrel, showed no respect for his master at all, and just stood there laughing with a gloating expression on his face.

Qin Wu couldn't stand the laughter any longer and finally said:

"Master, can you please stop gloating like this? Is it really okay for you to be like this?"

Jiang Ziya suppressed his laughter: "Serves you right, who told you to mess with that Living Ancestor 743? I don't dare to provoke him easily normally, and you actually dared to call her a tigress! You're asking for trouble, what can I do if you're tired of living!"

Qin Wu was on the verge of tears. Just as he was about to continue arguing with this old man, a eunuch's voice rang out from the main hall: "His Majesty has arrived!"

Immediately afterwards, King Zhou of Shang, Di Xin, slowly walked out from behind with Daji, sat directly on the dragon throne, and asked excitedly, "My two beloved ministers, Jiang and Qin, how is the construction of my Deer Terrace progressing?"

Qin Wu thought to himself, "Goodness, you're too direct! You just cut to the chase right from the start, leaving no room for maneuver!"

It's obvious without even thinking that it was Daji whispering in his ear again!

Anyone with a normal brain understands that, let alone the productivity at that time, even in the 21st century, it would not be possible to complete such a massive project in a month!

Could it be that King Zhou of Shang had his brain drained by Daji?

Upon seeing that Jiang Ziya and Qin Wu remained silent, King Di Xin of Shang immediately frowned: "It seems that you two ministers have not taken my decree to heart!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Prime Minister Bigan stepped forward from the ranks of ministers: "Your Majesty, please forgive the great undertaking of building the Deer Terrace. It is only natural that it has not been completed in a month. I beg Your Majesty to grant us some more time!"

In fact, Bigan knew that even if he were given a year's grace, he still wouldn't be able to build the Deer Terrace!

He did this simply to buy time so that Jiang Ziya and Qin Wu could find a chance to escape.

Qin Wu understood Prime Minister Bigan's meaning and was somewhat touched, not expecting the old man to be so kind.

But Qin Wu had come here specifically to cause trouble, so how could he just leave so easily? Thinking this, Qin Wu immediately cast a grateful glance at Bi Gan, then gestured for Bi Gan to step back, and stepped forward, saying:

"Your Majesty, the construction of the Deer Terrace will indeed take some time!"

King Zhou asked, "Then tell me, how much longer?"

Qin Wu: "According to the blueprints you provided, the construction of this Deer Terrace is a massive undertaking, requiring the mobilization of young and able-bodied men from across the country!"

King Zhou tossed his head: "That's not a problem at all. Just tell me how many more years it will take!"

Qin Wuzhuang pretended to take out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and slowly opened it: "According to my calculations, building the Deer Terrace will require emptying the national treasury, mobilizing the garrison, and even including all the ministers present as laborers, it will only take seventy-two years!"

King Zhou of Shang nodded: "Ah, only seventy-two years... How dare you!"

King Zhou of Shang, Di Xin, wasn't stupid; he immediately realized what was happening: "Take him down!"

Chapter 559 A Scene at the Dragon Virtue Palace (Part 2) (5)

Not to mention King Zhou of Shang, even the ministers in the hall couldn't stand it anymore.

Seventy-two years. Even a fool would have realized that this was a joke.

Besides, seventy-two years? By then, everyone here will probably have turned to ashes.

You're practically rubbing King Zhou of Shang's intelligence into the ground! The ministers all held back their laughter, while King Zhou, sitting on his chair, was so angry his beard stood on end.

"Guards! Guards, seize him for me! I want to personally chop off his head!"

The guards immediately surrounded Qin Wu with a "whoosh," but Qin Wu, looking at the soldiers before him, showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he chuckled coldly.

"Di Xin, Di Xin, you are truly laughable. Do you really think that these shrimp soldiers and crab generals can protect your safety and the safety of your precarious Shang Dynasty?"

After saying that, Qin Wu suddenly froze and slapped himself on the face: "No, what I said was really stupid. How could I treat those shrimp soldiers and crab generals like that!"

"Have you ever seen real shrimp soldiers and crab generals? They are much braver than you!"

In fact, Qin Wu didn't mean anything by saying that. He thought that the mantis shrimp general of the Chaotic Star Sea was far superior to these so-called guards.

The guards, however, thought differently. These ancient people had never heard anything more offensive than "this brat is not worth discussing things with." They wouldn't even dare to think of, let alone hear, such vicious words as those spoken by Qin Wu.

The guards' eyes turned red, and King Zhou of Shang on the dragon throne became anxious: "If we don't act now, when will we?"

The head guard immediately gave the order: "Take down those two traitors, Qin Wu and Jiang Shang!"

Qin Wu was instantly exasperated, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. When did they, master and disciple, become traitors again? It seems they really were confused by Qin Wu's words!

At the head of the guards' command, chaos erupted in the Dragon Virtue Hall.

To avoid being harmed, all the ministers hid in the corners. The few who, like Prime Minister Bigan, did not want to hide, were forcibly pushed through by the crowd.

In the end, only Wu Cheng Wang Huang Feihu, from the ranks of military officers, broke through the crowd and began to restore order to the scene.

·· ··Requesting flowers·· ··

At this moment, the guards rushed towards Qin Wu. It was only thanks to the large size of the Longde Hall that they were able to keep up with the work.

Only Qin Wu and Jiang Ziya remained as ministers facing the dragon throne in the main hall, making them easy to recognize. A guard drew his sword and stabbed at Qin Wu from both sides.

....... .... ...

The guard thought to himself that Qin Wu was just an official of the Imperial Observatory, what ability could he have? He was strong and powerful, he could just cut him down with one sword, and the king would surely reward him handsomely!

Little did he know that he had not only miscalculated, he was practically courting death!

Qin Wu is no pushover; he's a ferocious tiger ready to devour anyone at any moment! If he were just going through the motions of capturing Qin Wu, Qin Wu wouldn't do anything to him; at most, he'd just repel him and that would be the end of it.

But the key point is that this kid has already decided to kill, how could Qin Wu not sense that?

Qin Wu: "That was a killing move right from the start! Well done!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a thud was heard, and the head fell to the ground! A knife.

Chapter 560 Uproar in the Dragon Virtue Palace (Part 2) (6)

A jet of blood shot into the sky, and immediately a bloody aura filled the Zhenglongde Hall.

King Zhou of Shang was stunned when he saw the bloodstains on the dragon-shaped desk. He had been living in comfort for too long and couldn't remember the last time he had seen blood.

He is no longer the powerful and capable King Xin of yesteryear; he is now merely a King Zhou, drained by wine and women.

King Zhou of Shang suddenly raised his head and saw Qin Wu, covered in blood and holding a long spear, staring at him with a half-smile.

That look in his eyes, why does that look look so familiar?

In fact, King Zhou of Shang did not know that he had once had this look in his eyes, a look forged with blood and corpses!

But at this moment, King Zhou of Shang could no longer withstand that murderous gaze, and he shouted:

"Whoever captures the two thieves will be rewarded with a thousand acres of fertile land and ten thousand coins!"

The ancients always said that "a great reward will surely bring forth brave men," and there is some truth to that.

The guards, who had already considered retreating, suddenly felt a surge of excitement when they heard that capturing these two men would grant them thousands of acres of fertile land. "Damn it," they thought, "people die for wealth, birds die for food! Today, we'll fight these two to the death!"

But these guys had all learned their lesson. Seeing that Qin Wu's face was full of "don't mess with me" vibes, they all chose to avoid his sharp edge and instead charged towards Jiang Ziya.

That's true. Killing any one of them would satisfy King Zhou of Shang's conditions, so who wouldn't pick on the weakest?

But the key point is that this old man is no ordinary old man! He has been studying Taoism on Kunlun Mountain for forty years. Putting aside everything else, he, the junior brother, is the one who does all the work, such as carrying water and chopping wood! As soon as he saw the guards rushing up, Jiang Ziya didn't move at all. He reached out and the God-Slaying Whip appeared in his hand.

A guard raised his longsword and slashed it towards Jiang Ziya's stomach, seemingly about to disembowel him.

But before the soldier's sword could even touch Jiang Ziya's body, Jiang Ziya's God-Slaying Whip rose into the air and struck the guard directly on the head. With one lash, the guard's brains splattered everywhere, covering the surrounding guards.

The surrounding guards were stunned, feeling as if their entire worldview had been turned upside down...

Is this still an old man? Before the soldiers could even react, Qin Wu shouted loudly from behind, "Come on, aren't you going to kill us to exchange for money?"

Qin Wu spoke while grinning maliciously, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins that were gradually spreading across his entire eyeballs.

Jiang Ziya immediately sensed that something was wrong:

Qin Wu, stop right now, we should go!

But it was too late; the guards had already begun their attack on Qin Wu.

All the guards rushed forward, and immediately saw Qin Wu's spears flying up and down, impervious to water.

A single flick of the spear tip took a life, and in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, almost all the guards in front of him were dead.

Seeing that the only guard left in front of him had no effect on his pleas for mercy, Qin Wu swung his hand back, and the spear of the Demon-Slaying Refining Wheel Halberd struck the guard in the chest.

"Doctor Qin, what kind of hero bullies these guards? Why don't we have a little spar?"
