Being a tour guide for historical celebrities, the motherland is amazed again

Chapter 250: They're all thousand-year-old foxes, what's with all this ghost story stuff?
"Ji Fa, you traitorous scoundrel!" King Zhou, ignoring the throbbing pain in his head, sprang up and tried to pull King Wu of Zhou off his horse, but was subdued by several guards wielding spears.

King Zhou looked at the large army before him and felt somewhat dazed.

"Impossible! I must be dreaming. How come I haven't received a single battle report in a month?"

"Didn't you receive it?" King Wu of Zhou frowned slightly. "But it's strange, I seem to have had an unusually smooth journey, without encountering any reinforcements."

"No, no, I borrowed the power of future generations, so why is it still like this? Why did I still lose!"

King Zhou had completely collapsed, kneeling on the ground and screaming hysterically. As a ruler, he had not only lost his country but had also been captured alive in a completely inexplicable way—a truly humiliating disgrace.

"The power of future generations? So you really do have people from future generations on your side." King Wu of Zhou walked up to Ying Zheng and examined him closely. "It's you, isn't it?"

Facing the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, Ying Zheng felt a mix of emotions and was at a loss for words. He simply raised his eyes and met King Wu of Zhou's gaze.

"Ying Zheng, didn't you say those crossbows could last for more than two months? It's only been a month, and I've already been attacked at my doorstep!" King Zhou suddenly turned his head, his hawk-like eyes staring straight at Ying Zheng, his gaze filled with a mixture of anger and suspicion.

"Your surname is Ying?" King Wu of Zhou raised an eyebrow and asked, "I find you to have an extraordinary bearing; may I ask where you come from?"

"Ji Fa, even if you seize the world, it will fall apart in a few hundred years. Your empire will eventually fall into his hands. If you want to kill me, kill him too, wouldn't that eliminate future troubles forever!" King Zhou stared wide-eyed at Ying Zheng, letting out a ferocious laugh.

Ying Zheng glanced at King Zhou indifferently, his face showing neither sorrow nor joy, then stepped forward and bowed deeply to King Wu of Zhou.

"Your Majesty, do you know why no one has stopped the Great Zhou army for the past month?"

"Why?"

"Because all the military reports sent to Chaoge were intercepted, Chaoge did not send reinforcements," Ying Zheng said calmly.

"Who is stopping us?" King Zhou and King Wu of Zhou asked this question almost simultaneously, especially King Zhou, whose expression was one of utter shock.

"It was done by Fei Lian and E Lai, important ministers close to Emperor Xin."

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, King Zhou was as if struck by lightning.

"Impossible! Feilian and Elai are my trusted confidants, how could they betray me! By the way, Ying Zheng, they are your ancestors, did you collude with each other and ruin my Great Shang?"

“My ancestors naturally stand with me.” Ying Zheng slowly rose and glanced at King Zhou. “Di Xin, if you receive the military report, I’m afraid you will detain me and keep demanding weapons and provisions from Qin. Although Qin is rich, it cannot withstand your extortion.”

"You..." King Zhou's face turned red, his whole body trembled, and he pointed at Ying Zheng, unable to speak for a long time.

"Di Xin, as the last emperor, you are indeed a man of great talent and ambition, skilled in both literature and martial arts. It is a pity that you are greedy for power, stubborn and self-willed, and treat everything as your pawn. However, I am unwilling to be a pawn."

"Brother Zheng, so you're saying you're a double agent?" Su Jiahe felt dizzy listening to their conversation.

"They're all old foxes, why are they playing these ghost stories?" Wang Mang said, arms crossed, leaning against a tree by the roadside like a bystander.

"Very well, although you assisted Emperor Xin before, you also made considerable contributions to the Great Zhou. I will forgive and forget your past mistakes. Since you also come from the future, let them send you back." King Wu of Zhou said, turning to mount his horse.

"Your Majesty, please wait!" Ying Zheng hurriedly called out to King Wu of Zhou. "I am an old acquaintance of Miss Su. May I stay here and help you conquer Chaoge?"

"You actually know Miss Su? Then why are you assisting Di Xin?" After what happened before, King Wu of Zhou was very wary of Ying Zheng.

“Your Majesty, I know him well. He came to the Great Shang Dynasty only to find a bronze cauldron and had no intention of opposing you,” Su Jiahe quickly explained.

"A bronze cauldron?" King Wu of Zhou suddenly looked curious. "What bronze cauldron?" "Anyway, there are some very mysterious things engraved on it. My brother Zheng has already found out that the bronze cauldron is under the Deer Terrace in the royal palace."

"So there were such amazing things in Di Xin's palace. Alright, Ying Zheng, you stay here and come with me to Chaoge to find the bronze cauldron."

After King Wu of Zhou finished speaking, he turned to look at Qiu Zhi, who was standing to the side.

"Men, behead this spy and offer him as a sacrifice to the flag."

“Your Majesty, she cannot be executed,” Su Jiahe hurriedly stopped King Wu of Zhou. “She also seems to be related to the bronze cauldron. We should keep her and study her carefully.”

"Alright, then let's take them away first." After saying this, King Wu of Zhou organized his troops and continued to advance towards Chaoge.

Ying Zheng mounted his horse and kept giving Su Jiahe meaningful glances, his eyes filled with a hint of resentment.

"Jiahe, why did you tell them the secret of the bronze cauldron so directly? I guess we won't get any."

"Hey, why are you turning the tables on me? If Jiahe hadn't pleaded for you, would they have let you stay?" Wang Mang said with dissatisfaction.

"Don't you want that bronze cauldron?" Ying Zheng turned around and asked Wang Mang.

"Didn't the Qin Dynasty unearth one? Why do you need so many cauldrons?"

“That bronze cauldron has been buried for over eight hundred years and is severely corroded. Perhaps there were even more secrets hidden on it.” Ying Zheng shook his head regretfully.

“Brother Zheng, believe me, obtaining those secrets may not be a good thing.” Su Jiahe said, giving Ying Zheng a meaningful look.

"Ji Fa, you traitor, you'll be struck by lightning sooner or later!" King Zhou shouted hoarsely as he was being escorted in the prison cart.

"Di Xin, stop shouting! Everyone knows you've been captured!" Wang Mang, annoyed by the noise, tapped the prison cart with his stick.

Looking at the vast army of the Zhou Dynasty, King Zhou's eyes were filled with utter despair, and he muttered to himself.

"The Great Shang Dynasty, the Great Shang Dynasty that our ancestors built up over six hundred years, has been destroyed in my hands..."

In King Zhou's palace, Bigan had just woken up when he saw all the civil and military officials surrounding him.

"What are you all doing here?" Bigan was still a little confused.

"Young Master, what happened to you? You fainted? Where is the King?" King Zhou's personal guard asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty? I don't think I see you. What time is it now? How long have I been unconscious?"

"It is now Chen Shi (7-9 AM)," the guard replied.

"Chenshi (7-9 AM)?" Bigan counted on his fingers. "I've been lying here for a whole day and night. Why are you only arriving now?"

"Yesterday, His Majesty issued an order that no unauthorized persons were allowed to enter the palace. We only came in to look for His Majesty because we found him missing."

"Young Master, the King and the Queen have both disappeared without a trace. Please think of something!" The ministers were all at a loss.

"The King and the Queen are both gone?" Bi Gan rubbed his swollen head, desperately trying to recall everything that happened before he fainted. "It was the Queen who knocked me unconscious. No, that woman was tall and fat; she didn't seem to be the Queen..."

"Oh no! Thieves are here!" A panicked cry suddenly came from outside the palace.
