Jiang Shang Joins Ji, the Grand Campaign Against Zhou

Outside Chaoge City, an ox cart rolled away. A white-haired old man sat upon it. He looked back at Chaoge City, sighed mournfully, then drove away without another glance.

The old man was Jiang Shang. Having seen through the Great Shang Imperial Court, he suddenly felt that Great Shang had no hope left and resigned from office.

At the same time, Shen Gongbao, dressed in a black Daoist robe, descended Kunlun Mountain.

After coming down the mountain, Shen Gongbao happened to meet the Xuanyuan Two Demons. Through them, he then met Su Daji.

As they talked, the two hit it off at once, becoming partners in evil.

Su Daji recommended Shen Gongbao to Yin Zi Shou and praised him lavishly. Shen Gongbao was entrusted with great responsibility and became Great Shang's State Preceptor.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ziya drove his ox cart around for more than half a month before arriving at Xiqi City.

He wandered throughout the area and found the local customs simple and honest, the people living in peace. He built a thatched cottage outside the city and fished there every day.

He fished for two full years. Since Jiang Shang used a straight hook, passersby were astonished, and everyone spread word that he was mad.

The news soon reached Ji Chang at the Marquis of Xibo Residence.

Ji Chang was quite intrigued and decided to see for himself.

The next day, he left Xiqi City early in the morning and arrived at the stream bank outside the city.

After waiting for quite some time, he saw a white-robed old man in the distance arrive at the stream bank, carrying a fishing rod and wearing a fish basket at his waist.

The old man glanced at Ji Chang without speaking, then sat directly on a stone by the stream.
