Chapter 251 Puxian is Panic
Seeing this, Ji Chang quickly stepped forward and tried to calm his excited emotions.
"Master, please calm down. We are all deeply saddened by General Aoki's death."
“But what’s more important at this moment is how to deal with the problem at hand and avenge General Aoki.”
Jiang Ziya also came forward and comforted him:
"Brother, please accept my condolences. The brave soldiers of Junior Brother Qingmu will always remember you."
"Now, we need to calm down and formulate the next battle plan."
With the consolation of Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya, Jade Ding Zhenren gradually calmed down.
But the anger in his eyes did not die down, but became even more intense.
"Jiamengguan,"
Jade Ding Zhenren spoke in a deep voice, and every word hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer, "I will personally handle this level. I will personally avenge my beloved disciple Qingmu."
At this moment, seeing that his senior brother was so firm and resolute, how could Jiang Ziya not give his full support?
So he quickly winked at Ji Chang, and the two exchanged a tacit look, as if they had reached some kind of consensus.
"Brother, what you said is absolutely right,"
Jiang Ziya was the first to express his opinion, "Jiameng Pass is an important place for the Shang Dynasty, and its strategic significance is insignificant."
"If Senior Brother takes action personally, he will surely be able to defeat the enemy and avenge Junior Brother Qingmu."
Ji Chang also nodded in agreement:
"Since the Immortal Master has such determination, I will give him my full support. I hope that the Immortal Master can lead our soldiers to capture Jiameng Pass in one fell swoop and spread the power of our Great Zhou!"
Following the statements made by Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became heated.
The soldiers requested to fight, vowing to follow Master Yu Ding to the battle and avenge General Qingmu.
Jade Ding Zhenren looked at these passionate soldiers, waved his hand, and shouted loudly:
"Okay, in that case, I won't be polite."
Then, he turned to look at Ji Chang beside him and said slowly:
"Your Majesty, I don't know much about these arrangements of troops."
"It is better for you and Junior Brother Zi Ya to make a decision and inform me. After that, you can lead the army to Jiameng Pass in person."
Upon hearing this, Ji Chang's eyes could not help but flash with excitement and admiration that were difficult to conceal.
He knew that the reason why Jade Ding Zhenren made such a decision was related to the death of his own disciple, Qingmu.
However, Ji Chang did not pay attention to these. He just wanted to capture the three passes in front of him as soon as possible and complete the task of conquering Shang as soon as possible.
Ji Chang nodded slightly, looking at Jade Ding Zhenren with a firm and sincere gaze, his voice filled with unquestionable solemnity:
"Don't worry, Immortal. Prime Minister Jiang Ziya and I will do our best to formulate a response plan with the fastest speed and most thorough considerations."
Jiang Ziya also nodded in agreement, with wisdom shining in his eyes.
So he nodded in agreement without hesitation:
"Brother, rest assured. I will definitely avenge Junior Nephew Qingmu!"
Upon hearing this, Jade Ding Zhenren nodded coldly.
At this time, Puxian Zhenren stepped forward, looked straight at Ji Chang, and said slowly:
"Your Majesty, I wonder where my disciple Zi Yu is now? Is he safe?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Manjusri Bodhisattva could no longer suppress his worries and said:
"Also, my disciple Ning Sheng, I heard from Junior Brother Zi Ya that Ning Sheng assisted in the attack on Sishui Pass, so why didn't we see him here?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Chang looked at Samantabhadra beside him and replied respectfully:
"My lord, General Ziyu is leading an army of 100,000 to Qinglong Pass. He should be attacking Qinglong Pass now, or he has already taken Qinglong Pass."
After saying this, he turned around and looked at Manjusri Bodhisattva beside him, his eyes were gentle but with a hint of imperceptible apology.
"Master, as for General Ning Sheng whom you asked about... the situation is indeed a bit tricky."
Ji Chang paused for a moment, as if he was considering his next words. "To be honest, General Ning Sheng was unfortunately captured in the last fierce battle with the enemy general."
"Since then, I have sent spies into the enemy camp many times to try to rescue him or get information about him."
"But unfortunately, we have not received any definite news about him so far."
Upon hearing this, Manjusri Bodhisattva's expression suddenly became solemn.
He was well aware of the cruelty and ruthlessness on the battlefield, and also understood the difficulties and dangers faced by captured soldiers.
"My king," he said in a deep voice, his tone revealing an unquestionable determination, "Since Sishui Pass is so close, please issue an order to challenge us from the camp."
"My disciple, whether alive or dead, must be rescued."
"What the Immortal said is absolutely right. I cannot sit idly by and watch General Ning Sheng suffer. Although Sishui Pass is right before our eyes, the strength of the enemy and us is too different. It may not be a good idea to attack rashly."
Ji Chang pondered for a moment and continued, "However, I have made up my mind. I will issue an order immediately. The whole army should be ready to march out of the camp to challenge the enemy."
"First, it can deter the enemy, and second, it can also be used as an opportunity to find a way to rescue General Ning Sheng."
Upon hearing this, Manjusri Bodhisattva looked cold and said in a deep voice:
"My lord, if I and the others had not come here, perhaps the difference in strength between the two sides would be too great."
"However, since I and others are here to help, the enemy is weak and we are strong, so there is no need to worry."
When Ji Chang heard this, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that what Manjusri Bodhisattva said was true.
"What the Immortal said is absolutely right. I did have some concerns before and did not dare to act rashly."
Ji Chang said with a hint of humility, "But now with the help of the immortals, our army's morale has been greatly boosted and our strength has doubled."
"Although Sishui Pass is as strong as a rock, it cannot stop our army's vigor."
Just as Ji Chang was about to give the order, Puxian Zhenren stepped forward and said bluntly:
"Your Majesty, I am fully aware of the pressing situation at the moment, but there is one thing that makes me feel uneasy."
"Since my disciples are at Qinglong Pass, facing unknown battle situations and risks."
"I think, in order to prevent any unexpected events, I should go to Qinglong Pass in person to find out what's going on."
When Ji Chang heard this, his expression changed slightly and a hint of embarrassment arose in his heart.
He knew that it should have been a great blessing for the Zhou army that the three immortals sent their most talented disciples to help, but unexpectedly, unexpected events occurred frequently, which was very regrettable.
However, things are unpredictable. One died, one was captured, and the fate of the third one is still unknown.
Then, Ji Chang nodded slightly and said in a gentle tone:
"What the Immortal said makes sense."
"You are concerned about the safety of your disciples. This is human nature. How could I not know it?"
"What's more, Qinglong Pass is a place that our army must fight for. If you go there in person, you will definitely take it down."
Upon hearing this, Samantabhadra nodded slightly.
Then, he had a brief conversation with Jiang Ziya, Yu Ding and Manjusri.
Afterwards, Samantabhadra circulated the spiritual power in his body, and his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
Looking at the direction where Samantabhadra left, Ji Chang, Jiang Ziya, Jade Ding Zhenren, Manjusri Bodhisattva and others were all silent.
After a while, Ji Chang and others began to arrange the next matters.
