Chaoge Palace.
"Report!" The Meridian Gate foreign military newspaper was handed in, and the horse galloped all the way to the gate of Shouxian Palace.
"Wucheng King Huang Feihu, Si Mohaoran and Chen Tong, the general who defeated Tongguan, and the fourth general who broke Jiamengguan, have now entered Qishan..."
"Slow down." King Zhou put down the memorial and said, "Si Mo Haoran?" His eyes were blurred, as if thinking of something.
Daji was taken aback, and hurriedly started talking, and said with a smile: "I heard that the grand master has fought countless battles, and he is also Huang Feihu's teacher. He wants to hunt down King Wu Cheng..."
"Report!" Another horse galloped outside the Meridian Gate to the entrance of Shouxian Palace, and immediately the sergeant turned over and knelt down, and shouted: "Pingling King of Donghai is rebelling! I heard that the grand master has ordered troops outside the city!"
Now even Daji couldn't sit still, when he saw the face of the emperor, he saw that King Zhou didn't show any joy or anger, and only said in a low voice: "I heard that the grand master is going to fight again?"
"Yes." The soldier replied: "The grand master asks the king not to worry. After the grand master returns to the court song, he will definitely go to the emperor and go to the Qing court!"
Daji's petite body trembled violently, she took a deep breath, and was about to speak when King Zhou waved off the messenger, put away the memorial, and said, "Call Fei Zhong, You Hun, Zhang Guifang."
Daji didn't know why, so she said, "Your Majesty?"
King Zhou didn't answer, he threw Daji in the Shouxian Palace, stepped out of the palace, and looked west. Daji caught up with her a few steps, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, don't let yourself get carried away by your will."
King Zhou shook his head and said, "You don't understand. Gu and Feihu are brothers and sisters. This knot must be untied by yourself."
Daji frowned and said: "Your Majesty, please listen to my concubine's words. I heard that the grand master is about to go to war, and no one in the court is in charge. The emperor is the lifeline of the country, and he must not be in danger!"
"Shut up!" King Zhou scolded angrily, "Su Daji, Gu thought you were the only one who understood Gu. If Hao..."
Both Daji and King Zhou were stunned at the same time.
Su Daji bit her lower lip until the red lip was about to bleed, and said after a long time, "Since that's the case, please do what you want, Your Majesty." After speaking, King Zhou was left standing in front of the palace, He went back to the couch, bowed his head and wept endlessly.
King Zhou let out a long breath, and sighed: "Gu is also good at leading troops. Except for Taishi and Feihu, no one in this dynasty is better at fighting than Gu. How could he become a prisoner in this cage without knowing it?" Tiger."
Daji said softly: "In this matter, if the concubines have selfish intentions, they will be destroyed in the sky... Since the king insists on the imperial conquest, the concubines only ask for one thing."
King Zhou asked, "What is it?"
Daji replied: "Take Ximei with you. Ximei has a magic weapon bestowed by the leader of Tongtian, the ancient magic pot for refining demons, and she is entrusted by my concubine."
King Zhou said slowly: "Okay, don't worry, I'm the real dragon emperor alone." Immediately, he left the Shouxian Palace and headed for the nine golden palaces.
Daji sighed quietly, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that there are not many people in the world who would recognize this real dragon..."
A group of wounded soldiers entered Xiqi, Huang Tianhua lost a lot of blood; Yang Jian's breastbone was shattered by a strange bird; If Mr. Tong hadn't appeared in time, the rescue team would have been wiped out.
The remnant soldiers were defeated, which made Jiang Ziya unexpected, and immediately made arrangements for the five people, and gave Haoran a meaningful look.
Haoran knew that the commander-in-chief's ability was not good enough, and he didn't manage well, so he was in such a mess, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, staying temporarily to recuperate. Even though the Kunlun Immortal Dao is working together, everyone is arrogant, and there is only one Nezha who can command them, so what can they do? Although King Wucheng was seriously injured, he arrived in Xiqi safely. It is a blessing in misfortune.
After several days of recuperation in the post station, her true energy gradually recovered, and Ziya brought a bad news at the same time.
"Everyone is mortal." Hao Ran sighed, when he met Ji Chang for the first time, he knew that the time left for this wise old man was running out.
According to historical records, shortly after Ji Chang returned to Xiqi, he passed on to his second son, Ji Fa, and left to go west. Ji Fa was the pioneer of the Zhou Dynasty for nearly 800 years, and he was called King Wu. ".
Ziya pondered for a long time before saying, "He wants to see you."
Haoran knew that Ji Chang was worried about Bo Yikao's death, and wanted to talk to him face to face, so he didn't make any excuses, and followed Jiang Ziya to Ji Chang's bedside.
The room was full of kneeling people, all of whom were the core members of the Western Zhou royal family and political power. Jiang Shang led Haoran in, but everyone didn't know who this young man was.
When Ji Chang was on his deathbed, everyone in the room was weeping unceasingly, Ziya ignored everyone, and saluted Mrs. Bohou Taisi who was leaning on the bed, then took Haoran's hand and led him to the bed . Said: "Master Hou, Haoran is here."
There was a muffled sound in Ji Chang's throat, Haoran was startled, he hurriedly lifted the end corner of the quilt, and saw that Xibohou's feet were swollen, he was wearing boots, and his life was not long. Ji Chang has reached this time! Annoyed in his heart, he frowned and looked at Jiang Ziya.
But Ziya took a step back and ignored him, making it clear that he wanted to throw the hot potato to Haoran, but Haoran had no choice but to pull Ji Chang's thin hand like a withered vine, and pour in a source of innate qi, which he wanted to hang Xibohou was ordered to die for a while, but Ji Chang woke up from his deathbed and let out a breath of foul breath.
"master!"
"Master Hou is awake!" Even if there was a prince crying bitterly, he wanted to rush forward.
"It's all gone." Ji Chang said slowly: "Go out, leave Madam, Xiangguo, Haoran is here."
After all the officials left the room, Ji Changfang said leisurely, "Hao Ran..."
Haoran hurriedly said: "The minister is here."
Ji Chang tried his best to sit up, Ziya and Taisi hurriedly settled down, Ji Changfang said: "My unworthy Ziboyi killed you..."
Haoran said: "Master Hou, don't mind, Haoran has never resented Brother Boyi Kao." While speaking, he held Ji Chang's palm, thinking that before the old man died, he still couldn't forget what happened in front of the nine halls, and his heart was full of thoughts. I can't die peacefully; I have so many feelings that I can't speak for a while.
Mrs. Bohou Taisi said: "The ministers outside the palace are all kneeling, the master has not given orders..."
But Ji Chang interrupted: "It's okay."
Haoran just woke up, and Ji Chang hadn't appointed an heir by this time!
Just listen to Ji Changdao: "Bo Yikao is dead, and his sins cannot be repaid after all. Fortunately, Haoran is open-minded and ignores previous suspicions. Haoran, my son died with you, but you deserve to die."
Without waiting for Haoran's answer, Ji Chang said again: "My second son, Ji Fa, spends his days indulging in fun. Although he is very intelligent, he cannot take on the big responsibility. My son, Ji Dan, is an excellent candidate, but it's a pity..."
Finally, Ji Chang said: "Hao Ran, I want to adopt you as my foster son, you are willing."
Ji Chang's old and weak voice was so startled that the faces of the three people in the room changed color. Xi Bohou wanted to pass on the hereditary territory to an outsider! Tai Si and Zi Ya stretched out their hands at the same time, pressing on Ji Chang's arm. When he was about to speak out to dissuade him, Haoran stepped forward and said: "Master Hou!"
Countless thoughts passed through Haoran's mind, and the bifurcation of history was presented in front of him again, and he finally said: "It was not Bo Yikao who harmed Haoran, but Haoran dragged him down. If you don't dislike it, Lord Hou can regard me as a son."
Ji Chang showed a gratified smile, and said slowly: "So, this Xiqi..."
Haoran said again: "No, Bo Yikao's younger brother is my younger brother, Haoran will help the new king wholeheartedly."
Ji Chang seemed to be taken aback, and said after a while: "I'm really worried that Ji Fa is young and easily influenced by words. That's the case."
Ji Chang tried his best to raise his hand, stopped his wife from crying, and said slowly: "Let's leave Gu and the prime minister, Hao Ran. My Ji family is hereditary from Xiqi, and I am deeply honored by the holy family. Don't let Ji Fa use weapons rashly. You must be guarded." Duty... Although Shang has no way, as a courtier, he still can't do the act of killing the king with a minister..."
Ji Chang continued intermittently: "I wanted to inherit the throne awe-inspiringly, but the emperor will definitely remember the old relationship, and couldn't bear to send troops to Xiqi... so..."
In the end, Ji Chang was out of breath, so Haoran hurriedly injected his true energy into the old man's body again. However, human life is destined to end. Even if the artifact has the power to reach the sky, it cannot save King Wen's life. Ji Chang's eyebrows were tightly knitted Locked, exhaled deeply, and stopped breathing.
Haoran recalled the scene in the hut in h a few months ago, Ji Changyu was earnest, guiding him as he lost his way, and now he accepted himself as his adopted son before he died. People live in troubled times and have no relatives. Even the righteous father-son relationship in this short period of time also disintegrated with the death of King Wen. For a while, he couldn't help feeling sad, and fell down beside the couch and cried loudly.
King Wen passed away, and the volume of "Book of Changes" was still lying quietly on the table. Ziya sighed and rolled up the bamboo slips. Taisi had passed out from crying several times, then woke up again, and was about to hold the copper hammer , Ziya hurriedly blocked: "Wait a minute."
Ziya comforted: "Haoran and Mrs. Hou Ye should not be too sad. The dead are dead, and it is not yet time to mourn. Please listen to Jiang Shang's words." After speaking, he took out a military newspaper from his arms and put it in the case
Tai Si opened the letter, but it was a letter of war.
Five days ago, Ji Chang was seriously ill and unable to deal with political affairs, Jiang Ziya secretly withheld the letter of war handed over from Qishan.
The death knell was heard, and the whole city mourned; every family wore hemp, and every household wore filial piety, sitting on the eaves of the highest place in the Hou Mansion, looking at the vast land, feeling unspeakable.
The sound of wings sounded, and Lei Zhenzi flapped his wings and landed beside Haoran.
"Your father is dead." Hao Ran said.
"I know, if you die, you will die." Lei Zhenzi replied lazily, without being touched in the slightest.
Haoran said: "Three parts of the world, two have returned to Zhou. Now Yin Shoude is going to conscript himself." While speaking, he straightened the linen cloth for the shirtless Lei Zhenzi, and a piece of white gauze was tied on his dark arm, which looked very abrupt. "Aren't you sad?"
Lei Zhenzi scoffed: "Lao Shizi's sad, my mother was sad not seeing him when she died."
Haoran said again: "Your grandmother is really a powerful character."
Ji Chang's mother, Tai Ren, was ninety-seven years old. When Xi Bohou died, she was not in the room, or as a mother, it was difficult for her to witness her son die in front of her eyes. But before a crusade against the Emperor of Yin and Shang, it was this ninety-seven-year-old woman who first revealed the case.
"Don't use swords recklessly, if you want hundreds of thousands of people in Xiqi to be buried with a dead person, you won't be able to!"
Tai Ren's angry reprimand still echoed in Hao Ran's ears.
Haoran and Jiang Shang, the two courtiers who were left alone by Ji Chang, stood in front of the Queen Mother with their hands down. This is Tai Ren's opinion.
Immediately, Tai Ren issued a letter, regardless of previous suspicions, Huang Feihu took the post of Grand Marshal of the East, and General Nan Gongshi was in charge of internal defense and external attack; ; Jiang Ziya is a military adviser.
Xiqi hadn't recovered from the mourning of Jichang's death, Tairen had announced to mobilize 80,000 soldiers from the whole city to prepare troops outside the city, and three days later the troops would march to Qishan to resist the emperor.
"Hit as soon as you hit, I'm afraid of his mother." Lei Zhenzi sneered, these words are quite similar to what the ninety-seven-year-old woman said.
Haoran's only hope at this time is that Wen Zhong did not follow.
Three days later, the army marched out in mighty strength. Fortunately, King Pingling of the East China Sea also rebelled. Wen Zhong led the army to suppress the rebellion. Only King Zhou led the army to attack Xiqi. Zhang Guifang, the first officer, and Fei Zhong, the military adviser, heard that Zhong did not join the army, but invited the Four Sages from Jiulong Island. Those four sages are cultivators from overseas fairy islands, and their cultivation base is more than one level stronger than the four generals of the Demon family.
Looking at the general Xiqi, Huang Feihu led the army, the first officer Nezha, the military adviser Jiang Ziya, the main general Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi, and Huang Tianhua.
This is bound to be a bloody battle, with the blood of countless people about to draw the boundary between Yin Shang and Western Zhou.
And the decisive point is Qishan.
