Within the Northern Song Imperial Palace, Zhao Kuangyin raised his glass and said: Great Deity, even though you are an immortal, I still want to say that if there is fate, we are all brothers.

Jiang Chu chuckled and said: “Brother Yuan Lang, there is no need to call me immortal. I am just a cultivator, although I know some techniques, I am not some Great Deity. I have a name, you can call me Jiang Chu.”

Zhao Kuangyin laughed loudly: Jiang Chu. Alright, today I will be sworn brothers with you. We will share good fortune and suffering together.

Zhao Kuangyin stood up and shouted: Men, set the incense table, I want to be friends with my younger brother.

A group of eunuchs and palace maids brought out incense and silver lanterns, burning three incense sticks to, and handing them to him before they left the hall.

The two of them greeted each other three times. Zhao Kuangyin took the silver needles on the table and pierced his middle finger, dripping two drops of blood into the two silver lamps. Then, he said to Jiang Chu: “Little brother, put the drop of blood into your cup, let us drink together.”

Jiang Chu laughed bitterly and thought: To be able to teleport to the Song Dynasty and become sworn brothers with the founding emperor, he sure can do it. Although his mind was in a mess, he took up the silver needle, pierced his finger, and dripped his blood into the cup. He raised the cup and said, “Big brother, I will not let you down if I become your brother.”

Both of them laughed out loud at the same time, raised their wine glasses and downed it in one gulp.

Just as the two were about to drink the blood and drink, a white light shot out from Jiang Chu’s head. The Grand Master Order floated in the air and a blinding light shot towards Zhao Kuangyin’s body.

In that moment, Zhao Kuangyin was enveloped in white light, as though a god had descended to the mortal realm. Just as Jiang Chu was in a daze, a figure suddenly appeared between him and Zhao Kuangyin.

When Jiang Chu saw the figure, he cried out in alarm: “Great Master, why are you here?

Indeed, that figure was Jiang Shang and Jiang Ziya. Jiang Taigong laughed and said, “We meet again. It seems that you have completed the mission given to you.

Jiang Chu was confused: Mission? What mission? What was going on?

Jiang Taigong glanced at Zhao Kuangyin who was enveloped in white light and sighed.

After listening to Jiang Taigong’s explanation, Jiang Chu also understood the cause and effect of this matter.

Zhao Kuangyin was originally called Chi Longzi, and like the Jiang Taigong, he was a disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign. Because it violated the laws of the heavens, it was demoted to a mortal by the Jade Emperor and reincarnated.

The Jiang Taigong and the Chi Longzi brothers had a deep relationship with each other, and in order to help him return to the Heavenly Court as soon as possible, he used a few methods to help Chi Longzi.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, after the battle between the water dragon and the Divine Phoenix, they were heavily injured and were unable to return to the Yellow River. Jiang Taigong rushed over and kept the Five-coloured Golden Eggs and Phoenix Gall. Seeing that the water dragon was on the verge of death, he did not attack it. Instead, he left it to fend for itself.

After Chi Longzi reincarnated, in order to help Chi Longzi, the Jiang Taigong took out his God Striking Whip and nailed the Yellow River dragonpulse to the Bianzhou City, allowing it to nourish the Bianzhou earth and become a dragonpulse.

From then on, the Great Master entrusted a dream to Zhao Kuangyin, telling him that he would be able to complete the task at Chen Qiao Gang with the help of his yellow robe. When one ascended the throne, the Dragon Qi would be filled with energy, allowing it to ascend the throne as soon as possible. Then, he placed Chi Longzi’s Artifact Coiling Dragon Rod beside him.

When Zhao Kuangyin woke up, only then did he realize that there really was a Coiling Dragon Rod. Zhao Kuangyin summoned his trusted aides and confidants and planned for Chen Qiao’s army mutiny, which was why he had achieved what he had achieved today.

After listening to the Grand Duke’s story, Jiang Chu couldn’t help but sigh to himself. Everything in the world has its limits. If he calculated it this way, the reason why an expert had guided Zhao Kuangyin to death in the harem on October 20th was from him. It was truly funny.

The Jiang Taigong continued to speak: “Jiang Chu, my God Striking Whip is five kilometers northeast of Bianzhou City. After you return to the future, you can take it out. The God Striking Whip is a top quality Heavenly Spiritual Treasure that will be of great use to you in the future. You are destined to encounter many calamities in your life, and if you can pass these hundred years, you will be treated as a great Dao.

Jiang Chu replied respectfully: Yes, I will follow the teachings of the Grand Elder.

Chi Longzi will awaken very soon and recover a portion of your mana. Only he can make you return to the later generations, so you have to follow him.

After Jiang Taigong finished, he glanced at Chi Longzi again, and then suddenly disappeared.

After a quarter of an hour, the white light disappeared and Chi Longzi opened his eyes. Jiang Chu felt as if two laser beams were shooting towards him.

Chi Longzi walked to Jiang Chu’s side and said: “I have already recovered my memories, it won’t be long before I will be able to raise my Celestial Realm. Kid, you are the descendant of senior brother, I will definitely not treat you unfairly, and I must thank you for passing through time and space to become my disciple.

The two of them sat down again, but Zhao Kuangyin let out a long sigh. Jiang Chu asked in confusion: Big brother, you have recovered some of your memories and cultivation, you should be happy, why are you so sad?

Zhao Kuangyin laughed bitterly: “Little brother, you might not know this, but we have three brothers.” Second brother is righteous, third brother is beautiful, they are my brothers and sisters. Beautiful people were irritable, and they loved to stir up trouble the most. Second Brother’s mouth was full of righteousness and morality, but his stomach was full of schemes and schemes. But my father died early, leaving the three of us to each other. I thought of them everywhere, but they formed a private party and tried to rebel. I can’t kill him, I can’t let him go, it’s difficult.

However, Jiang Chu did not know how he should persuade Zhao Kuangyin. was his own brother, could it be that he should just kill them all and get it over with?

Jiang Chu thought for a long time before saying: “Big brother, brother is like a brother; I can understand your feelings.” However, you should also consider your own child. If you leave this mortal world, it would be hard to protect your child from being persecuted.

Zhao Kuangyin’s expression became heavy, and said softly: Guilds of light have been around for many years, and there are a lot of them. If I were to be handed down to Dezhao, it would inevitably become a feud, and all the good things would be destroyed in one fell swoop. So, I want to spread it to Second Brother, as long as he obtains the throne, I presume he won’t make things difficult for my descendants.

Jiang Chu wanted to tell Zhao Kuangyin the historical facts, but he endured them. He really did not know how credible history was. All history was written by the victor. The credibility of it all was minuscule, so how could he speak carelessly?

Thinking to this, Jiang Chu got up and said: “Big Brother, everything is according to your wishes, I will unconditionally assist you.”

Nine years ago, on the night of October 19th, Zhao Kuangyin invited Zhao Guangyi to the palace to drink. After the Chief Eunuch Wang Jien served the wine and dishes, he turned around and left.

Other than Zhao Kuangyin, no one else knew that at this moment, behind the screen in the palace, Jiang Chu was sitting on a chair, listening to everything that was happening outside.

Through the Sky Eye, Jiang Chu could clearly see that as Wang Jiexi retreated, he lightly nodded at Zhao Guangyi. Although Zhao Kuangyin didn’t notice it, Jiang Chu had noticed it. He just didn’t know what it meant.

Zhao Kuangyin dismissed all the palace maids and eunuchs, leaving only Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi behind.

Zhao Kuangyin said with a stern expression: “Second brother, before we drink, I have something to discuss with you. I wonder what you think?”

Zhao Guangyi stood up and said: Royal brother, please speak, this subject will not dare to disobey.

Zhao Kuangyin said in a low voice: “Second brother has fought with me for many years, and achieved countless merits. In these years, I have also exhausted myself and worked hard for national affairs.

Hearing this, Zhao Guangyi took two steps back in panic, bowed and said: “Royal brother, this cannot happen. Since ancient times, the path of king was passed down through his heirs, there is no logic behind it.

However, Zhao Kuangyin laughed out loud, and casually picked up the jade axe on the table, pointing it at Zhao Guangyi, he scolded him: Obstinate, truly pedantic, the power of an empire is the core of a nation, if you have the ability, you don’t have to belittle yourself.

The jade axe in Zhao Kuangyin’s hand was a plaything and he would often play with it. Although he did not pick it up on purpose, it made Zhao Guangyi tremble with fear, because he knew that there was something wrong with his heart.

Just now, Wang Jien had already poisoned the wine. Before leaving, he gave a slight nod, indicating that the poison had been prepared. Please be at ease, Prince Jin.

Just then, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly asked for a position and pointed the jade axe at Zhao Guangyi, how could he not be afraid? After all, Zhao Kuangyin had not drunk the poison wine yet.

Zhao Guangyi felt guilty, but he did not know. Standing up, Zhao Guangyi walked towards him. Zhao Guangyi was afraid in his heart, he continuously retreated. In terms of fighting, even ten Zhao Guangyi would not be Zhao Kuangyin’s match. In just a minute, Zhao Kuangyin could easily kill him ten times.

Zhao Kuangyin approached Zhao Guangyi with the jade axe, but Zhao Guangyi dodged left and right, refusing to get any closer to Zhao Kuangyin. This was the truth of the legendary candlelight and axe shadows.
