Tu Xingsun, that scoundrel, is like a toad lusting after swan meat!

Deng Jiugong knew that San Yisheng was eloquent. It was precisely because of San Yisheng's speech that Deng Jiugong, unable to refute, had no choice but to pretend to agree.

In reality, he wanted to capture Jiang Ziya alive. However, Jiang Ziya turned the tables, defeated Deng Jiugong, and Tu Xingsun abducted Deng Chanyu, forcing Deng Jiugong to defect to Xiqi.

After defecting to Xiqi, it would have been fine if things were good!

The key was that after defecting to Xiqi, Deng Jiugong's family did not have a good outcome.

All three members of his family perished in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.

At this moment, Deng Jiugong was facing such a predicament!

"Ding dong, detecting the host's current situation, God-Tier Options activated!"

"Option 1: Defect to Xiqi, actively offer your daughter. Reward? You still want a reward? Have some shame!!!"

"Option 2: Refuse the marriage proposal, execute San Yisheng, never defect, protect the Shang Dynasty's realm, and obtain five million points of Great Dao Merit!"

Just then, a system prompt sounded in Deng Jiugong's mind.

This was an easy question, clearly guiding him to choose the second option.

Knowing that defecting to Xiqi would not end well, Deng Jiugong naturally would not defect to Xiqi.

As for the second option, it seemed Deng Jiugong could only choose the second option, and he would also gain five million points of Great Dao Merit.

Deng Jiugong had already tasted the benefits of Great Dao Merit. How could he miss out on five million points of Great Dao Merit?

Originally, Deng Jiugong did not want his beautiful, pure, and innocent daughter to marry that scoundrel Tu Xingsun. Since he could get a reward after refusing, why not?

As for protecting the Shang Dynasty's realm, he was originally Marshal Deng of Great Shang and should protect the Shang Dynasty's realm.

As for how much he could protect, he could only say he would do his best.

After all, this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation was not as simple as a war between Great Shang and Xiqi. The situation was very complex, and one wrong step could lead to filling the Investiture of the Gods Scroll.

"Choose the second option!"

Deng Jiugong thought to himself.

"Ding dong, the host has made a choice. Rewards will be granted upon completion of the option!"

Upon hearing this, Deng Jiugong's expression stiffened.

The reward was not given immediately after making the choice, but only after it was fulfilled.

"Marshal?"

At this moment, seeing Deng Jiugong lost in thought and slow to respond, Tailuan spoke.

San Yisheng's arrival to propose marriage for Tu Xingsun was clearly aimed at Deng Chanyu.

Tailuan knew that Tu Xingsun, that scoundrel, had indeed displayed great power and won battles previously.

However, if Xiqi were to be captured, even his words in a drunken state might lead the Marshal to marry the young lady to Tu Xingsun.

But Tu Xingsun's attack on Xiqi failed this time, and he was captured by Xiqi. Now they defected to Xiqi and he still wanted to marry the young lady?

It was simply ludicrous!

They had already entered the enemy's camp.

His brain must have been kicked by a door to have such wild fantasies.

He had long disliked Tu Xingsun, especially since the man was barely three feet tall, short and stout, how could he be worthy of his beautiful as an immortal young lady?

"Advance Officer Tailuan, obey my command! Execute San Yisheng immediately!"

Deng Jiugong snapped back to attention and said directly.

"Uh!"

Tailuan was stunned by his Marshal's sudden military order.

It was said that in war, envoys were not to be killed.

Deng Jiugong was about to execute San Yisheng without a second word, which Tailuan had not expected.

"Marshal?"

Tailuan asked again, thinking he had misheard.

"Execute San Yisheng immediately!"

Deng Jiugong repeated.

San Yisheng was a founding minister of Western Zhou.

King Wen Jichang had died of illness earlier, and Ji Fa held the reins of power in Western Zhou, becoming King Wu of Zhou.

Previously, San Yisheng had devised a plan to rescue Ji Chang from Chaoge, his wisdom was not to be underestimated.

Although the war between Great Shang and Western Zhou was mainly a conflict between Immortal Sects, after Ji Chang's death, San Yisheng's assistance to Ji Fa posed a significant threat to Great Shang.

Therefore, regarding the envoy San Yisheng, Deng Jiugong had no intention of letting him go and wanted to completely break ties with Xiqi.

Slaying San Yisheng would be like cutting off Ji Fa's left and right arms!

"Yes!"

Seeing Deng Jiugong's order again, the vanguard commander Tailuan only paused for a moment before directly executing the military order.

"Deng Jiugong, two armies do not slay envoys in battle, you have no martial virtue!"

San Yisheng and the Xiqi attendants he brought were all brought to the execution ground. San Yisheng, unwilling to accept his fate, shouted out.

Crack!

Just then, the blade rose and the head fell. Heads rolled onto the ground, and the sound abruptly ceased.

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for slaying San Yisheng and protecting the Shang Dynasty's realm, gaining five million points of Great Dao Merit!"

Just then, the System's reward arrived, making Deng Jiugong's heart rejoice.

"Father!"

Just then, Deng Chanyu and Deng Xiu rushed over and were greatly shocked to see this scene.

He actually killed him!

Her father didn't listen to what San Yisheng had to say and didn't bother with any further words, simply executing him.

My father didn't play by the usual rules, Deng Chanyu thought to herself.

However!

San Yisheng was here to propose marriage for that scoundrel?

It was clearly aimed at her.

Good riddance!

Decisive and straightforward!

Previously, Deng Chanyu had blamed her father for not taking her marriage seriously with his drunken words.

But now, she couldn't help but want to clap her hands in approval!

It seemed she had misunderstood her father!

"Chanyu, do you have anything to say?"

Deng Jiugong asked.

"N-no!"

Deng Chanyu couldn't bring herself to say whether it was right or wrong.

Killing an enemy envoy didn't seem like a glorious act, yet Deng Chanyu felt a sense of satisfaction.

She had never liked Tu Xingsun, and now that he had sided with the enemy, she loathed him even more.

And now, they wanted to keep San Yisheng here to discuss marriage?

What kind of logic was that?

It was absolutely impossible.

Seeing that his daughter had no objections, Deng Jiugong nodded and then looked at Deng Xiu.

"Xiu'er, what about you?"

Deng Jiugong asked.

"Father has his reasons for doing this!"

Deng Xiu said.
