Conferred Gods: Master Tongtian is my master

"I...I was defeated without even moving a single soldier."

Yuan Futong murmured to himself, his voice full of helplessness and unwillingness.

At this moment, a prince came up to Yuan Futong and said:

"Lord Yuan, the situation is hopeless, let's just surrender!"

The other princes, with a look of vicissitudes and fatigue on their faces, also echoed the sentiment.

Yuan Futong felt mixed emotions when he saw this. He took a deep breath and felt that the heaviness in his chest seemed to be relieved a little. He looked at the other princes and finally made up his mind.

He straightened his back, as if he wanted to leave all his cowardice and retreat behind him, and his face showed a firmness and determination that he had never shown before.

"Humph! If you surrender, then surrender!"

Yuan Futong's voice echoed on the battlefield, full of determination and resolve:

"Let's go to Chaoge together to meet the King of Shang. Whether he lives or dies, I will accept it!"

When the princes heard Yuan Futong's words, they felt relieved. They decided to surrender. At least they would not die with their soldiers.

Yuan Futong rode his warhorse, took a step forward, looked at Luo Shu with a sharp gaze, and said in a loud and serious voice:

"Master Luo, I, Yuan, have discussed with the other princes and decided to surrender! However, I hope that what the Master said before can be fulfilled!"

Luo Shu smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated Yuan Futong's decision.

He nodded slightly and said in a calm but powerful voice:

"Please rest assured, Lord Yuan. I, Luo Shu, always keep my word. As long as you sincerely surrender and submit to the Shang Dynasty, I will report everything to the king and strive for the treatment and dignity you deserve!"

After hearing Luo Shu's words, most of the worries in Yuan Futong and the princes' hearts disappeared immediately.

As the conversation between Yuan Futong and Luo Shu ended, the atmosphere on the battlefield became more peaceful.

When Yuan Futong led his soldiers to surrender, the voice of the system sounded in Luoshu's sea of consciousness!

[Ding! The host has completed the task of helping Master Wen resolve Yuan Futong's rebellion. The system has completed the appraisal and the reward has been sent to the system space.]

Luo Shu's mind moved, and he explored into the system space. Looking at the top-grade innate spiritual treasure Nine Dragons Universe Cover floating in the system space, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Shu returned to Wen Zhong and said softly:

"Junior brother, this matter is over. The rest of the follow-up will be left to you to handle. I have something important to do and need to rush to Chaoge as soon as possible!"

Wen Zhong looked up at Luo Shu, his eyes full of admiration, and replied respectfully:

"Thank you, Senior Brother! We were able to quell the rebellion in the North Sea in such a short time, all thanks to your wisdom and decisiveness!"

Luo Shu nodded slightly, a gratified smile appeared on his face, he patted Wen Zhong on the shoulder and said:

"Okay, Junior Brother, you should deal with the remaining matters as soon as possible and return to the court as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Luo Shu called Xiaobai over, jumped lightly, and rode steadily on Xiaobai's back.

Xiaobai growled, as if responding to his master's call, then kicked his limbs, turned into a streak of white light, and galloped away.

The speed was so fast that it seemed to break through the sky and rush towards the distant Chaoge City.

Wen Zhong stood on the battlefield, looking at the direction where Luo Shu and Xiao Bai disappeared, his eyes showing deep respect, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"Big Brother is really my lucky star!"

He recalled the scene just now. With just a few words, Luo Shu calmed the originally evenly matched battlefield in an instant, and Yuan Futong and others surrendered one after another.

This ability to reduce the masts and oars to ashes while chatting and laughing made him admire Luo Shu very much.

Wen Zhong continued to think:

"Big Brother is amazing. He was able to persuade Yuan Futong and others to surrender with just a few words. This kind of wisdom is unmatched."

His heart was filled with admiration and gratitude for Luoshu. He knew that with Luoshu, the future of Da Shang would be brighter.

"It's a blessing for Da Shang to have the eldest brother here!" Wen Zhong said with emotion.

Wen Zhong took a deep breath, turned and walked towards the surrendered soldiers, and began to deal with the subsequent aftermath.

……

Chaoge City

The Longde Hall is magnificent, filled with fragrance, and the atmosphere is solemn and dignified.

King Zhou Di Xin was wearing a dragon robe and sitting upright on the dragon throne, gently rubbing his temples, as if trying to relieve the fatigue brought by handling heavy government affairs.

Although his face is young, there is an indescribable majesty and domineering between his brows.

His Highness's ministers stood solemnly on both sides, with awe or worry on their faces, each holding a memorial in his hand. The air was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere.

After a while, King Zhou raised his head and scanned the ministers standing solemnly in the palace with a sharp gaze. His voice was low and powerful, echoing in the empty hall:

"My dear ministers, if you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court!"

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

As soon as King Zhou finished speaking, a middle-aged minister in official uniform stepped out, holding a memorial, and knelt in front of Emperor Xin.

"speak!"

"Your Majesty, the southern region has been hit by floods in recent days. The rivers have overflowed, the people's homes have been destroyed, and countless people have been displaced and are suffering terribly."

"I request the king to order the opening of granaries as soon as possible to provide disaster relief, and at the same time mobilize craftsmen to build dams to prevent future disasters." The middle-aged minister said solemnly.

When Emperor Xin heard the news, his brows knitted tightly. He put down the jade ring in his hand, pondered for a moment, then turned to the eunuch beside him and said:

"Pass the order down, immediately mobilize food and medicine and send them to the south for disaster relief. At the same time, send craftsmen to build dams to ensure the safety of the people."

The eunuch quickly agreed and turned to convey the order.

The middle-aged official was so grateful that he kowtowed repeatedly:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then they withdrew. At this time, another official walked out of the queue, knelt in front of King Zhou and said:

"Your Majesty, the Western Rong have frequently harassed our Great Shang border, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. Although our border guards have fought bravely, they are short of manpower and may not be able to sustain it."

"I ask the king to send more reinforcements to strengthen the border defense."

Emperor Xin nodded slightly, a trace of contemplation flashed in his eyes:

"I already know something about the border situation. The threat from the Western Rong is indeed a serious threat. We will first send 5,000 elite soldiers to the border for support, and also bring 1,000 firearms made in the workshop. We must defeat them."

Upon hearing this, all the ministers said in unison:

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Xin nodded, glanced at the ministers of His Highness again, and said:

"Is there anything else important to report?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

King Zhou looked at the visitor and said:

"Oh? What's the matter, Prime Minister? Tell me now!"

This person was none other than the Prime Minister of the Shang Dynasty - Shang Rong.

"Your Majesty, the birthday of Goddess Nuwa is approaching. Should we send people to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony as usual?"

King Zhou heard this, thought for a moment, and then walked out slowly:

"Just follow the old rules, and let Uncle Wang Bigan go to offer sacrifices on my behalf!"

Shang Rong heard King Zhou's words and said:

"Your Majesty, Goddess Nuwa made humans out of clay and is the Holy Mother of the human race. Gonggong angrily struck Mount Buzhou, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to sink. Goddess Nuwa refined stones to mend the sky and saved the people. I think Your Majesty should go there in person to pay homage to Goddess Nuwa!"

King Zhou heard this, thought for a moment, and said:

"What the Prime Minister said makes sense, but I am very busy with government affairs and cannot spare the time to offer sacrifices. Let Uncle Wang do it for me!"

Shang Rong heard King Zhou's words and said again:

“Your Majesty, now that Grand Master Wen has gone to the North Sea to quell the rebellion, and natural disasters have occurred in various places, I think that Your Majesty should go to the temple of Goddess Nuwa in person to worship!

Just as King Zhou was hesitating, his uncle Bigan spoke up:

"Your Majesty, I think what the Prime Minister said is absolutely right. Your Majesty, please personally worship Nuwa and pray for the prosperity of the Shang Dynasty, a long-lasting national destiny, favorable weather, and the elimination of disasters. Your sincerity will surely move Nuwa to protect the Shang Dynasty!"

When King Zhou heard that his uncle Bigan had also said so, he nodded and said:

"In this case, on the birthday of Goddess Nuwa, I will personally go to worship her and pray to her for the prosperity of the Shang Dynasty, peace and prosperity for the people, and for the Grand Master to put down the rebellion as soon as possible and return to the court."

Upon hearing this, the ministers bowed and said loudly:

"Your Majesty is wise! Long live the Shang Dynasty!"

King Zhou Di Xin smiled and nodded slightly, speaking in a steady and powerful voice:

"My dear ministers, please stand up. If there is nothing else to do, please leave the court!"

After King Zhou finished speaking, he stood up and left Longde Hall.

"Farewell, Your Majesty!"

Everyone bowed once more and then went back to their homes. The hall returned to its former tranquility.

……

At this time, Luo Shu hurried and finally arrived at the gate of Chaoge City one day before King Zhou offered sacrifices to Nuwa.
