Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 178 To be the King's dog is my glory, Ji Fa.

Xuanyuan Tomb is very large. ൠ😾 690ђ𝔲𝓧.𝓒𝑜ᵐ 👤👮

The fleet's speed was approximately 2800 km/h, or 790 meters per second, which is about one-tenth of the first cosmic velocity.

Even at this speed, it took a full eight hours of flying before they finally saw the Yin Shang camp.

Based on the short distance assessment, the distance of the broken section exceeds 22400 km.

The Earth's diameter is only 12800 km.

This distance is approximately eight times the diameter of the Earth.

The distance made Qin Feng gasp in amazement. "Wow, this map is huge!"

As the fleet drew closer, a magnificent city came into view, perched atop the snow-covered plains of the far north. In the distance rose towering glacial mountains, and rivers flowed past the city gates from both sides.

Qin Feng saw scenes he had dreamed of and scenes he hadn't dreamed of.

Atop the towering city walls, thousands of meters high, a vast protective shield of starlight plasma enveloped the giant city.

The fierce winds and blizzards were kept out by the protective shield that resembled a starry dome.

Tower-like spaceship docks stand atop the city walls, with spaceships constantly taking off and landing.

In the sky, you can also see Falcon-type mechs soaring around, conducting inspections.

What attracted Qin Feng the most was a giant battleship that was descending. This was the largest individual ship Qin Feng had ever seen, exceeding 100,000 meters in length and 30,000 meters in width. It was like a floating armed fortress, entirely black, with hundreds of blue and white turbine nozzles on its underside, spewing out trails of light. The enormous war fortress slowly returned to its home port.

"Isn't it spectacular!"

Shen Lian appeared beside Qin Feng at some point.

Qin Feng was taken aback for a moment. "Yes, it's spectacular!"

Shen Lian said, "This is a Dragon Fang-class arsenal ship. Shadow Chaoge only has three! Unfortunately, one of them was scrapped during the war with Su Hu. Of the remaining two, only one can be maintained for normal patrols and the other for routine maintenance and repairs."

Qin Feng looked at the incredibly powerful Dragon Fang-class arsenal ship and was secretly shocked. How could such a powerful war beast be destroyed in battle?

If this thing were deployed to our current universe, not to mention the trash in the inner universe, it would be an invincible existence even in the outer universe!

Even the largest Blade Sea-class Shenxi mothership in the Chu Kingdom is only just over 10,000 meters long!

This thing is a 100,000-meter-long arsenal ship; it's hard to imagine how many troops it carries!

Qin Feng's impression of King Zhou chasing Su Hu has changed drastically. Before, it was just a few people and a few horses chasing Su Hu in a carriage that had arrived at Xuanyuan Tomb.

In retrospect, it was entirely Su Hu's fleet that stormed into Xuanyuan Tomb, and King Zhou, with three Dragon Fang-class arsenal ships, chased Su Hu to this chaotic land, thus initiating an unprecedented cosmic war!

All I can say is, our ancestors were truly amazing!

Just then, Qin Feng's spaceship began its descent and entered the naval port.

At this moment, the breathing lights on both sides of the spaceship flashed and rang out, and a series of AI voices came out, "Welcome back to Chaoge City, Lord Shen Lian, Centurion of the Expeditionary Army under the Northern Marquis of Yin Shang."

Shen Lian patted Qin Feng on the shoulder, "Let's disembark."

Qin Feng and Shen Lian walked through the tall spiral staircase of the spaceship and headed straight for the reception hall in the center of the tower.

Qin Feng noticed that, compared to the technology of the seven kingdoms in his outer universe, the technology of the Great Shang Dynasty was more pragmatic and slightly more flashy.

For example, the Seven Kingdoms liked to use those flashy reactive material light ladders that had a high failure rate.

The Great Shang Dynasty's staircases were all made of forged steel, with no laser staircases whatsoever.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the Shang Dynasty lacked the technical capability to manufacture antimatter light ladders. The antimatter cannons mentioned here already demonstrate that the Shang Dynasty had the technical strength. It's just that they simply felt that steel suspension ladders were more reliable and more familiar to them.

For example, the Seven Kingdoms like to use a lot of AI robots in their ports, while the Great Merchant's surroundings are filled with human staff, in addition to the robots that handle transport and give instructions.

Arriving here gave Qin Feng a sense of déjà vu, as if he were in the Qin Dynasty thousands of years in the future.

However, this was actually a scene from our ancestors' daily life 20,000 years ago.

Standing in this social atmosphere of extreme pragmatism and war, one feels a stark contrast to the bustling social atmosphere of the Seven Kingdoms of Qin. Here, there is an atmosphere of iron-blooded ruthlessness, high pressure, and suffocation.

One can imagine that the gods who lived in the same era as the Shang Dynasty must have had a very low quality of life.

Only a powerful and ruthless merchant could suppress the divine beings and so many petty villains.

Upon entering the preparation hall, they were greeted by stern-looking guards in leather armor, standing in rows on either side. They beckoned to Shen Lian and Qin Feng, saying, "Routine service! Please cooperate, sir."

Shen Lian stood on the escalator. As the escalator moved forward, Shen Lian obediently opened his arms. After being scanned by beams of light from the network, Shen Lian went through the procedure.

As soon as Qin Feng stood on it to scan, a series of warning sounds rang out.

"Warning! Unknown identity detected!"

"warn!"

Soon, a series of weapons that Qin Feng couldn't understand—some resembling battle blades, others energy swords—were aimed at him.

Those swords and blades looked very similar to the Tang swords Qin Feng usually saw, but they had a layer of plasma laser photovoltaic on them, giving them a cyberpunk technology feel at first glance.

Shen Lian hurriedly said, "This is one of my guests; I must take him to see you, young master!"

Amidst the minor commotion, a burly head guard approached. His face was grim. He glanced at Qin Feng, then at Shen Lian. "Don't you Northern Marquis's lineage know the rules? Spy hostages are supposed to be in electronic handcuffs!"

Shen Lian said, "This person is not a spy or hostage, but one of my distinguished guests!"

The head guard said impatiently, "According to the rules, strangers must wear shackles!"

Shen Lian approached the head guard and lowered his voice, saying, "I'm warning you, if you offend him, you'll regret it!"

The head guard sneered, "Trying to scare me? Shen Lian, we were centurions in the same cohort. Do you think you can intimidate me?"

Shen Lian said, "Then put shackles on him, right now! Once he's in them, you can put them on too!"

The head of the guards changed the subject, saying, "I heard your harassment mission this time was a complete failure. Not only did you lose several mechs, but you also had a spaceship shot down by the Jizhou forces?"

Shen Lian said coldly, "Your information network is quite extensive! But as for merits and demerits, you, a centurion of the Marquis of Xibo, have no right to interfere with the army of the Marquis of Beibo. For the sake of the fact that we were all appointed centurions by the King of Beibo, listen to my advice and let him come with me, or you'll be in big trouble!"

The head guard didn't speak, but simply waved his hand. The guards on both sides sheathed their swords and let Qin Feng and Shen Lian pass through the inspection entrance.

Shen Lian walked ahead, teasing Qin Feng as he went, "Now, Ji Fa, the second son of the Marquis of Xibo, is in charge of the import and export and security of Chaoge City. Their people are the most disciplined, so you don't need to lower yourself to their level!"

Qin Feng said, "How could that be! It's all just routine. I know the rules."

Shen Lian walked ahead and said, "When we get to the young master, don't say a word about what you know. Don't utter a single word. These things you're talking about are top secrets. Only the King knows them, and no one else can know them. Understand?"

Qin Feng replied, "Understood! Which young master do we want to see?"

Shen Lian said, "Of course it's the second son of the Marquis of Bei, Chong Yingbiao, whose elder brother is Chong Yinghu, the eldest son of the Marquis of Bei."

"Young Master Chong Yingbiao, along with Su Quanxiao and Ji Fa, are all outstanding members of the hostage group. They mainly manage the capable officers under the Northern Hostage Group. Originally, they had more than two hundred men under their command, but unfortunately, due to the wars over the years, less than a hundred remain!"

"The young master is a generous man, so you don't need to worry that he will make things difficult for you. Just tell him your situation, and he will take you to see the king soon."

Shen Lian led Qin Feng through a series of futuristic corridors and staircases, and soon arrived at the entrance of a heavily guarded high-rise office area, where a series of access control cards were swiped through.

Soon, a guard stopped Shen Lian in his tracks. "Lord Shen, is there something you need?"

Shen Lian said, "I have brought a distinguished guest who wishes to meet you, young master."

The guard shook his head and said, "Young Master is currently discussing matters with other young masters; this is not a suitable time."

Shen Lian said, "This matter is extremely urgent. Please convey my message to the young master."

Seeing Shen Lian's insistence, the guard sighed, "Lord Shen, we all know about your defeat. Headquarters knows that your third patrol fleet lost a spaceship and several mechs in the battle with Jizhou. The young master was furious about it. Ji Fa finally came and had a couple of drinks with the young master to cheer him up. If you go now, you'll only get a humiliating defeat. Why bother? Go back and rest. Maybe when you wake up, the young master will have forgotten about it."

Shen Lian said, "I understand what you mean, sir, but I'm here to receive a reward for doing something good, so you won't blame me!"

Seeing Shen Lian's insistence, the guards, though suspicious of Qin Feng's identity, still let him pass.

Shen Lian led Qin Feng for about a hundred steps and came into view a large, antique-style military hall. The smell of alcohol was strong, and two voices could be heard from inside.

"I'm not saying this to be mean, but have the people of Jizhou lost their minds? They actually hid in Xuanyuan Tomb! Did they think we couldn't kill them there? I led the elite elite unit and blocked their retreat. On Xuanyuan Wilderness, we slaughtered them until Su Quanzhong was cursing and swearing! We even silenced Su Hu with rage!"

"Brother Ji Fa, you are truly skilled! Among so many experts in the hostage group, I, Chong Yinghu, admire Brother Ji Fa the most!"

"Hey! What's the use of admiring me! If you want to admire someone, admire the King! The King is the eternal hero in my heart! I dream of becoming a hero like the King! In this life, to be the King's son, to be his dog, is the greatest honor for me, Ji Fa!"

"Haha, cheers..."

Hearing those familiar words, Qin Feng was overwhelmed with emotion.

Once upon a time, in the Qin Imperial Ancestral Temple, he himself had said to Ying Zheng that being able to serve as his dog was a blessing he, Qin Feng, had accumulated over several lifetimes.

Now, Ji Fa's words about being Di Xin's dog made Qin Feng want to get to know Ji Fa better.

People who can say such things are more or less wise in life.

But why did someone as sensible as you later rise up in rebellion and destroy the Shang Dynasty of the Great King?

Does this mean that the ultimate way for fans to worship their idols is to kill them?

At that moment, Shen Lian knocked on the door. "Centurion Shen Lian greets Young Master."

A languid voice came from inside the door, "Come in!"

Shen Lian led Qin Feng inside, but before they even saw the two young masters, they heard Chong Yingbiao's displeased voice, "Old Shen, you really handled this matter poorly. You went to scout ahead and suffered a defeat! I have serious doubts about your command abilities! You'd better give me a plausible reason to report to the King, otherwise, if word of your defeat gets to him, you might have to take a few days off."

As Shen Lian walked, he said, "Young Master, rest assured, I have a reason this time that is not only plausible but will also earn me a reward from the King!"

Qin Feng followed Shen Lian inside and discovered that there was actually a huge tent set up in the middle of the ancient-style hall!

Yes, it's one of those simple, old-fashioned military tents.

In the middle of the tent, on a long black wooden table, there was plenty of wine and meat. What attracted Qin Feng the most was a huge braised bird leg that was more than two meters long!

The sizzling red oil, combined with the aroma of fruitwood and the retro ambiance inside the tent, gave Qin Feng the feeling that when it came to enjoyment, the nobles of the Shang Dynasty were the best!

This is far more luxurious than what the royal family of the Qin Dynasty enjoyed.

Of course, besides the food and drink, Qin Feng also saw two young masters: Chong Yingbiao, the second son of Chong Houhu, and Ji Fa, the second son of Ji Chang.

Ji Fa and Chong Yingbiao both looked to be in their thirties, having passed their youth and entered middle age.

Ji Fa's appearance has a kingly air about him. Judging from his appearance alone, compared with the Ji Fa in history books, the Ji Fa in history textbooks is more gentle and weak, while this one is more fierce and powerful!

Chong Yingbiao has a very fierce appearance, and he has a similar vibe to Liu Huaqiang.

Both men were dressed in military robes, and the black and red military attire, combined with their cold, shadowy skin tones, made the two generals appear exceptionally cold and imposing.

Shen Lian walked up to the two men, pointed at Qin Feng, and said, "Young masters, this is the reason I lost the battle! I've found him."

Chong Yingbiao sized up Qin Feng. "What is his relationship to the Su family? Is he a direct descendant? Is there even such a person in the direct descendant?"

Ji Fa said, "He can't be a direct descendant. I know all those people in the direct descendant's faction; he's not one!"

Shen Lian raised his hand, and the bracelet on his wrist shone brightly on Qin Feng.

Under the bright light, a shadow appeared beneath Qin Feng's feet.

This otherwise normal scene instantly startled Chong Yingbiao and Ji Fa, who both stood up.

"A shadow! How can there be a shadow!"

"He's not from Xuanyuan Tomb! He's from outside!"

Chong Yingbiao and Ji Fa stared intently at Qin Feng, their eyes burning with excitement.

Chong Yingbiao turned to Qin Feng and asked, "Are you from out of town?"

Qin Feng nodded, "Yes!"

Chong Yingbiao asked, "What are you doing at Xuanyuan Tomb?"

Qin Feng said, "I have been ordered to come here to see Your Majesty. I can only tell you why I am here when I see Your Majesty."

Chong Yingbiao said, "Very well! Then may I ask you a question: How is the Great Shang Dynasty doing now? How is Chaoge doing? Has Grand Tutor Wen completely wiped out the remaining rebels of Beihai? Has that damned remnant lineage of Emperor Ku been exterminated?"

Qin Feng felt bitter in his heart when faced with Chong Yingbiao's three consecutive clicks.

The Shang Dynasty is dead, what a load of rubbish!

The supercontinent has collapsed, and Chaoge is long gone!

The remnants of the Beihai rebellion still exist today, but Grand Tutor Wen himself has already perished.

As for the remnants of Emperor Ku's lineage, I'm sorry, but I am a traitor to the royal family of Emperor Ku's lineage.

Qin Feng could answer all these questions, but he also couldn't answer any of them. If he answered any one of them, there was no chance that Chong Yingbiao, that brute, would kill him on the spot.

At this moment, Ji Fa interrupted Chong Yingbiao, "Brother Biao, you can't ask about this; the King must ask first!"

"His Majesty misses Chaoge and the Shang Dynasty day and night, and longs for news of Chaoge and the Shang!"

"Now that an outsider has finally arrived, we should send him to see the King immediately!"

"Only the king can get firsthand information; we, as his subjects, can only listen from below."

"The order of these steps is crucial!"

Chong Yingbiao slapped his forehead. "I've been drinking so much, my brain's all muddled! Brother Ji Fa is absolutely right. Let's go, let's go, let's get rid of the effects of the alcohol and hurry into the palace!"

Shen Lian asked, "Young Master, what about me?"

"You—" Chong Yingbiao thought for a moment, "Brother Ji, please bring this person into the palace. Shen Lian and I have something to discuss."

Ji Fa nodded, stood up, and the maids on either side helped him put on his armor. Then, he gestured to Qin Feng and left the main hall.

Ji Fa and Qin Feng quickly walked out of the tower. The cold wind blew on the huge starry sky walkway. Through the crystal windows outside the walkway, they could see a beautiful bright moon on the protective shield above their heads.

This is a moon created by human intervention; there is no sun or moon at Xuanyuan Tomb.

However, Qin Feng had no interest in opening the bright moon; instead, he stared at Ji Fa, who was leading the way.

This man, who would later appear in history books, was the founding king of the Zhou Dynasty, yet he lowered his status and became the emperor.

While it's true that he was incompetent, he did indeed destroy the Shang Dynasty.

Despite his abilities, he lowered himself to the point that even his retainers and feudal lords looked down on him.

Ji Fa seemed to notice Qin Feng's complicated gaze. Under a pavilion on a rounded bridge, he turned to look at Qin Feng, who was following behind him. "You... have something to say to me?"

Qin Feng looked at Ji Fa and asked curiously, "Is Lord Boyi Kao your elder brother?"

"Yes!" Ji Fa said, "I am the second son of Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, and a member of the hostage group from Chaoge."

Qin Feng asked, "What is a proton cluster?"

Ji Fa said, "Throughout the four seas and eight wastelands, all have chosen the Great Shang as their ruler. The King of Shang has ordered all the feudal lords to offer up one of their sons and send them to the Great Shang. These sons are known as hostages. If any feudal lord rebels, their hostages will be killed as a warning to others. If this continues, their entire clan and city will be exterminated, leaving no survivors."

Qin Feng then asked, "Are all hostages second sons?"

Ji Fa laughed and said, "Perhaps it is, perhaps it is not. The king did not give any special orders, but the feudal lords all sent their second sons, and the king himself is also the second son."

"I know that," Qin Feng said. "The late King Di Yi had two sons. The second one was named Shou, who succeeded to the throne. The world submitted to him, and he was named Di Xin."

Ji Fa said, "Your speech and actions are perfectly composed; you've seen the world! And you were able to cross the natural barrier, endure countless calamities and tribulations, and reach Xuanyuan Tomb. You must be a remarkable figure in Chaoge City and the Great Shang Dynasty!"

Qin Feng chuckled, "I have a little bit of a reputation."

Ji Fa turned around and said, "A knowledgeable and insightful person would be best! What His Majesty needs is someone like you who has seen the world and knows a lot about inside matters."

Qin Feng asked, "Have there been other people who crossed this natural barrier to get here before?"

Ji Fa said, "Yes, but those are all fragmented souls. Even with Your Majesty's methods, it's difficult to obtain useful information. On the other hand, you came here with a physical body but still retain a complete soul consciousness. Your intelligence will be the most comprehensive and detailed intelligence Your Majesty obtains!"

"And you! Just seize this opportunity!"

"Success is just around the corner!"

Qin Feng said with a slightly teasing tone, "A meteoric rise to prominence would be the ultimate fulfillment for me, but perhaps not for Brother Ji!"

Ji Fa asked, "What are you trying to say?"

Qin Feng said, "Heroes like Brother Ji, have you ever thought of one day becoming a holy ruler of the human race like the Great King?"

The next moment, Ji Fa grabbed Qin Feng by the collar and slammed him against the wall!

Ji Fa, whose body was over two zhang tall, suddenly unleashed unimaginable power. His eyes blazed like flames as he stared intently at Qin Feng, uttering each word clearly, "Your Majesty!"

"He is my only hero! My only father!"

"I was sent to Chaoge when I was seven years old! The first person I saw was the King!"

"As the second son of the Shang king, Your Majesty raised us from childhood!"

"He taught us how to fight, how to ride and shoot, and how to build mechs!"

"He made us who we are!"

"He promised that if he became king, we would all be the new lords!"

"He once said, 'Who says the second son can't ascend the throne? Only those who are loyal to the Shang Dynasty can succeed!'"

"The hostage group of the Great Shang Dynasty is not a hostage group, but a group of future feudal lords! Only the king of the Great Shang Dynasty is worthy to treat all the feudal lords of the world as his sons."

"And the hostage will never betray the king!"

"I'm only warning you this once!"

"If you say that again, I'll kill you!"

"Do you understand?"

As Qin Feng listened to Ji Fa's voice, he secretly wondered if Ji Fa had been possessed like Su Daji.

Ji Fa, with his unwavering devotion as a devoted fan, could never possibly betray Emperor Xin!

Moreover, Di Xin's method of using hostage troops as his personal guard was indeed very innovative. If Di Xin had followed his method, all the feudal lords would have had their masters replaced, with their second sons ascending the throne, and then the legitimate sons would have been out of the question.

But if all the heads of the family were the second sons, then it would be a true unification for the Shang Dynasty!

Of course, this was a catastrophe for the feudal lords and the power of their legitimate sons.

Could it be that the appearance of the proton cluster was the most fundamental reason for the Zhou's overthrow of the Shang?

At this moment, Ji Fa's arm strength surged.

Qin Feng sensed the incredibly powerful energy fluctuations emanating from Ji Fa. Although Ji Fa was only in his shadow form, his blood energy in his current state of rage was already close to 100,000!

However, Qin Feng's existence exceeds 100,000.

All that could be seen was Qin Feng prying Ji Fa's fingers apart one by one, maintaining a calm and composed smile on his face, "I have never doubted Brother Ji's loyalty."

"Brother Ji, there's no need to be so agitated."

"If you injure yourself, His Majesty will be distressed!"

"You say yes, no, yes!"

Qin Feng was suddenly jolted, and Ji Fa's figure retreated dozens of steps.

Ji Fa stared intently at Qin Feng before him. "You conceal your power, your body shows no abnormalities, yet you can unleash divine power. Have you cultivated your martial arts to the Dark Force Realm?"

Qin Feng said calmly, "It's internal energy!"

Ji Fa nodded. "Interesting. No wonder you were able to cross the chasm with your physical body. Even in my original era, this level of strength would be considered very impressive. You're quite good, kid! Interested in joining the Proton Group? I can be your introducer!"

Qin Feng said, "We'll talk about that later! Now I want to see the King!"

Ji Fa quickened his pace. "Follow me!"
