In the Kunlun Mountains, Yuanshi Tianzun looked in the direction of Xiqi with doubts. Although Su Daji was just a small golden immortal, seemingly insignificant, at most it was just a chess piece arranged by others, but the question was, who was this chess piece? Fallen, Styx? Nuwa? Houtu? Or... Lao Tzu? Or Babel? Or is it the two sages from the West who are trying to spread doubts
Yuanshi Tianzun didn't know that this was the most embarrassing part. It was like two martial arts masters fighting each other. If they knew their opponent, they would have a slight chance, but if they knew nothing about the opponent, that would be the biggest disadvantage. The trouble is, you don’t know anything about your opponent’s moves, his purpose, his character, etc., so you are full of countless possibilities.
A seemingly insignificant move has aroused countless speculations in the hearts of the saints. However, now that the chess piece has fallen, and it has landed in a special position, it may even affect the battle of the Conferred Gods. The saint was not careful. During the calamity, everything changed so quickly, as if the saints did not expect that Su Daji would suddenly appear.
·······························
Regardless of the saints, at least Xiqi is full of joy and laughter today. Xibohou, who had been trapped for seven years, was successfully rescued. Boyi Kao and Shen Gongbao naturally took the lead, and their reputations in Xiqi were once again enhanced. , Xibo Hou Jichang naturally rewarded the two of them generously, and Shen Gongbao naturally accepted it with joy.
For Shen Gongbao, the wealth and honor in the world are like floating clouds to him. Even if there are mountains of gold and silver in front of him, he can regard them as dirt. However, in order to teach the West, he must gain the trust of Xibohou Jichang and Boyikao. Only by gaining the trust of these two people can he maintain the position he has worked so hard to establish for Western Sect in Xiqi.
Now as a hero of the savior, Shen Gongbao naturally won the trust of Xibo Hou Jichang, which was not in vain. He knew very well that he would hardly make achievements in government affairs and military affairs. He would not be able to make achievements in these two areas like Jiang Ziya. To gain Ji Chang's trust, he could only seize this opportunity to ensure his invincibility.
As for the matter of Su Daji, Shen Gongbao also asked Zhunti for instructions, but Zhunti only asked him to pay more attention and not to act rashly. Moreover, Su Daji was Boyikao's beloved person. Without Su Daji, he would endanger Boyikao or other people. Naturally, Shen Gongbao would not say much about the concrete evidence of people or Xiqi, otherwise it would be more than worth the gain if it would cause others displeasure for nothing.
However, no matter how much Shen Gongbao paid attention, he never found any flaws in Su Daji. It seemed that Su Daji came without any purpose at all. Su Daji naturally knew that he would definitely be suspected, even if he had obtained her, she was the real one. Su Daji's proof that the immortal who saved her was too mysterious.
Su Daji didn't take this matter to heart. As the saying goes, people's hearts are revealed over time. Although she came with the mission of the immortal, it was not to harm Xiqi. All the immortal wanted her to do was to urge Boyi. The cultivation test asked him to work diligently and love the people. In Su Daji's opinion, the immortal's instructions were a bit too redundant.
As the eldest son of Xibohou Jichang, Boyikao's status is equivalent to that of the prince of a country. When Xibohou Jichang passed away, Xiqi was naturally succeeded by Boyikao. There is no doubt that Boyikao is highly regarded in terms of reputation. The people of Xiqi loved him, and in terms of personal connections, at least most of the officials in Xiqi supported him, and Shen Gongbao and the Western Sect also supported him. The position of Xibohou would belong to him in the future.
It's a bit strange to say that Boyikao's whole person has changed since he practiced the exercises brought back by Su Daji. Originally Boyikao looked like a weak scholar, but since he practiced "Ziwei Emperor Jue" , the whole person began to become heroic, with a majestic and imperial air in his gentle manner, which is the temperament of a king.
Boyikao's changes naturally attracted a lot of attention, especially Ji Chang. He was happy from the bottom of his heart. As his first heir, if Boyikao always looks weak and elegant, how can he survive him for a hundred years? After that, he was the commander of Xiqi. Now Boyikao has finally changed, and it has changed as he hoped. How can Ji Chang be unhappy
Shen Gongbao was also very pleased with Boyikao's changes. When he and Boyikao first met, he had already seen that Boyikao was surrounded by Ziwei imperial aura. However, after meeting his younger brother Ji Fa, Shen Gongbao's heart He was worried, because Ji Fa's Ziwei Emperor Qi was actually stronger than Boyikao, which was not good news for him and the Western Sect.
Now Shen Gongbao and the Western Sect have placed their treasures on Boyikao. If Boyikao cannot inherit the position of Xibohou, it will naturally have a great impact on the Western Sect's preaching. However, the current Boyikao makes Shen Gongbao very satisfied. After practicing, Boyi Kao Ziwei's Emperor Qi soared, as if he had surpassed Ji Fa, and it was still growing day by day. He didn't know where it would end.
As Ziwei's imperial aura grew, Boyikao also began to behave like a king, and he became more concerned about the affairs of the Xiqi Dynasty. He often helped Ji Chang solve problems. Ji Chang also had high hopes for Boyikao. Many officials also have dependents, which is undoubtedly great news for Shen Gongbao, but not everything goes as planned for Shen Gongbao.
Naturally, the source of this unhappiness was his good brother Jiang Ziya, who he often drank and chatted with. Originally, Shen Gongbao recommended Jiang Ziya because he wanted to show off to Chanjiao and it was also a means to win over Chanjiao. But what he didn't expect was that... Jiang Ziya is like a dragon trapped in the shoal. Xiqi's court is the sea. When the dragon enters the sea, the wind and clouds surge and it is out of control.
Although Jiang Ziya was far inferior to Shen Gongbao in Taoism, he had unparalleled talents in governing the world and training soldiers. In the past ten years in Xiqi, Jiang Ziya was promoted from a doctor to the position of prime minister. Wu Baiguan admired him very much, and even Xibo Hou Jichang also trusted him.
This is not the biggest headache for Shen Gongbao. Even if Jiang Ziya is more capable and Boyikao succeeds to the position of Xibohou, he will still be the prime minister. Boyikao still trusts Shen Gongbao more than Jiang Ziya, but somehow , Jiang Ziya actually got together with Ji Fa, and the two chatted happily, which made Shen Gongbao have to be wary.
Xibohou Jichang had hundreds of sons. Except for Lei Zhenzi who was accepted as a disciple by Yun Zhongzi, Shen Gongbao had seen them all. Except for Boyikao and Jifa, there was nothing special about them. At most, there were only a few rarities. They have Ziwei imperial aura, but they have neither ability nor reputation and connections, so they pose no danger to Boyikao at all.
But Ji Fa is different. He possesses a strong Ziwei imperial aura, and his talents in government and military matters are better than Boyikao. Although Boyikao has changed now, after all, he is not good at handling these Xiqi affairs. In terms of ability, he is still far behind Ji Fa, and because of Ji Fa's outstanding ability, he is quite famous in Xiqi, and is deeply loved by Ji Chang and all officials.
Now Ji Fa is mixed up with Jiang Ziya again. Although it is not known whether it is intentional or unintentional, this is a dangerous signal for Shen Gongbao. Who is Jiang Ziya? He is the second generation disciple of Chanjiao and the disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun. Although Xiqi is now Among them, there is only one Chanjiao, Jiang Ziya, but he truly represents the entire Chanjiao.
Now that Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya are getting close, Shen Gongbao is naturally worried. Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya have made great achievements in government and military affairs. This is also the weakness of him and Boyikao. If Ji Fa gets the support of Chanjiao and Yuanshi Tianzun, then A hundred years after Jichang's death, it's hard to say who will take the position of Xibohou!
Now in Xiqi, the court is basically divided into two factions. One faction is Boyikao and Shen Gongbao, with the support of the Western Sect. The disciples of the Western Sect and friends invited by Shen Gongbao control more than half of Xiqi's army outside. The other faction is Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya, who have the support of Chanjiao. The two have mastered all the new troops trained by them personally.
Although overall, Boyikao still had the advantage, Shen Gongbao did not dare to relax at all. Ji Fa got Jiang Ziya as an even more powerful person, a man with strength, ability, and imperial aura, even if he temporarily He has no idea, but his threat is real, and others cannot help but be wary. Although both factions are safe and sound now, and are working hard for the growth of Xiqi, who can predict what will happen tomorrow? .
