Ji Kao got into the frame, his expression somewhat unnatural.

After the two brothers entered Chaoge City, their subsequent exchanges decreased a lot. Ji Kao studied in the area where the princes' hostages lived, and they only met a few times in the first one or two years.

Later, a rather embarrassing thing happened.

When Emperor Yi passed away, the princes’ hostages attended the memorial ceremony on behalf of each prince.

Within half a day, Ji Kao received four consecutive notices: once he was allowed to go, once he was not allowed to go, once he was allowed to go, and once he was not allowed to go.

In the end, Li Ping'an remembered this detail, and controlled Ji Dan to talk to Donghuang Taiyi, so that Ji Kao finally appeared at the ceremony on behalf of the Xibohou Mansion.

Donghuang Taiyi was still following the rules as King Zhou at that time. He wanted to directly praise Ji Dan, rather than praise Ji Kao, who was destined to become a victim of political struggle.

After that time, Ji Kao stopped looking for Ji Dan.

Li Ping'an is usually busy, and he was under great pressure before, so he would not pay much attention to such trivial matters as the Ji family's brotherhood.

Now that many things have been dealt with, Li Ping'an couldn't help but feel a little more sad when Ji Dan saw Ji Kao again.

Ji had been admitted to Chaoge City for a few years, and had aged a lot. Her smile now had a slightly fake look, and her eyes actively avoided Ji Dan's eyes.

"Fourth child, why were you suddenly sent home by the king?"

Li Ping'an pondered for a few times and said slowly: "It's hard to fathom the king's thoughts. Maybe I've crossed the line a little and got too close to the ministers."

"Don't be sad," Ji Kao suddenly became energetic, "The situation in Chaoge City has been changing, and there have been some changes that we can't understand during this period. According to the rumors, there seems to be something strange."

"Omen?"

Li Ping'an became interested and asked warmly:

"I wonder what kind of strange sign this is?"

Ji Kao's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately said: "These are just some rumors, not worth mentioning. The king is young and powerful, and the great merchants and the country are prosperous."

Li Ping'an nodded with a smile and said warmly: "Brother, did you hear some bad rumors about me in Chaoge City?"

"Not..."

Ji Kao looked aside, not wanting to speak at first, but he hesitated to speak, and then said:

“There are indeed some.

"They say that the reason why the king can ascend to the throne and easily defeat the prince is because... you are in charge of everything behind the scenes, unite with the ministers, and persuade Wang Shubi Gan early on to let the royal family support the king.

"Is this true?"

"Yes," Li Ping'an admitted openly, "Is there any problem with this? I have always been by your side, just running errands for you."

Ji Kao sighed slightly: "In this case, the position of the eldest son will be yours. In the worst case, I advise the second and third brothers to follow the example of my two uncles and escape to a foreign country to build a new city, and give you the position of Xibohou..."

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Li Pingan sighed secretly in his heart.

After all, there is still no way around this.

As Ji Kao grew older and was exposed to the environment of the proton camp in Chaoge City, he had changed a bit.

This is also normal.

Li Ping'an smiled and said: "I left Chaoge City this time just to go back and be the fourth son of the Xibohou Mansion with peace of mind. Some things happened here, which are related to the king's secrets. I don't dare to talk nonsense. Don't worry, brother,

I will definitely not bring disaster to the Xibohou Mansion. If I become Xibohou, how will your Majesty feel at ease?"

Ji Kao was startled for a moment, and then his face showed surprise.

He became much more energetic. He leaned closer and asked, "You have a disagreement with the king?"

"It's not a disagreement," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "but I suddenly realized that if I continue to walk in Chaoge City, I will definitely repeat the tragedy of my grandfather... If you have great achievements, you will kill the master.

The ministers are just acquaintances, and now they are returning to Xiqi just to save their lives and the lives of their clan members, nothing more."

Ji Kao couldn't help but be in awe: "Fourth brother, you are not very old, but your vision and knowledge are far beyond those of my brother."

"Brother, please continue to stay in Chaoge City," Li Ping'an sighed. "After the king ascends to the throne, his temperament may gradually change. Brother, you need to be careful and don't disobey the king's orders. The Xibohou Mansion is already a big tree."

Ji Kao asked: "Fourth brother, do you think there are other ways to make the king trust us?"

"Yes, we will abolish the military and destroy the Xiongguan Pass. The people of Xiqi will become refugees, and your Majesty will not embarrass us."

Li Pingan shook his head:

"Brother, please remember that the king will marry Dong Bohou's daughter later, and I need to prepare gifts in advance. No matter how much it costs, I must make the king happy.

"Also, brother, don't play the piano in front of the palace ladies."

Ji Kao was puzzled: "Why is this?"

"Brother, you are too handsome in appearance and a gentleman. You can easily make women's hearts flutter when you play the piano."

Li Ping'an raised his eyebrows slightly:

"You don't want to think that the person next to your Majesty's bed calls Ji Kao's name in his sleep at night, right?"

Ji Kao looked a little pale and nodded quickly in agreement.

Li Ping'an gave Ji Kao a few more words and ordered the female guard to bring a few packages of gold, silver and jewelry.

Ji Kao refused repeatedly, but Li Ping'an said that he could use it in Chaoge City and asked Ji Kao to take it.

Before leaving, Li Ping'an specially warned:

"Later on, please remember, remember, don't mention my name in Chaoge City. If someone asks, you can use the incident of carrying the coffin when the late king passed away to say something that is not in line with me.

"Otherwise, the king will definitely be angry with you.

"Also, if you have the chance, practice driving a carriage."

"Why drive a carriage?"

"If I can drive for the king, the Xibohou Mansion will be safe for ten years."

Ji Kao couldn't help but be in awe.

He got off the carriage and stood on the roadside with his guards and servants. He watched from a distance as Ji Dan's carriage disappeared into the wind and sand under the protection of a group of strange beasts and cavalry. Then he sighed softly and walked away from a distance.

A gift.

The servant on the side whispered in a low voice: "Eldest Young Master, you salute the Fourth Young Master. Isn't this... inappropriate?"

"I think of my fourth brother as a villain, but my fourth brother treats me as a gentleman. I'm really ashamed."

Ji Kao sighed softly and looked at the sky to the west.

The blue sky is clear and white clouds trickle in.

His eyes were full of thoughts, and then he turned around and walked to the waiting carriage, returning to the magnificent Chaoge City with the hopes of the Ji family.

Not long after Ji Kao entered the city, Chao Ge had a vision.

Two golden meteors soared into the sky from the palace and disappeared into the sky.

Li Ping'an certainly heard the melodious sound of the bell that no one else could hear.

The souls of Donghuang Taiyi and Zhichu left this chess game.

He thought for a moment.

With the influence of Donghuang Taiyi's character template, but without Donghuang Taiyi's original memory, where will such an emperor Xin Zishou go?

He really didn't have any confidence in his heart.

However, the most important thing now is to arrange the official reincarnation of Donghuang Taiyi. Houtu and the Wu clan still need him to show up in person.

In the carriage, Ji Dan yawned, stretched out and lay on the soft animal skin.

He said confusedly: "I'm trying to find a feeling and see if I can drink tea and chat with the gods again. Don't wake me up at will."

The female guards all cheered up, bowed their heads, and watched the Fourth Young Master fall asleep.

…

With his mind away from Ji Dan, Li Pingan directly formed an incarnation and rushed to the underworld.

Chaos Bell has taken Donghuang Taiyi and Zhichu to wait near Fengdu City.

The sky in the underworld is low and gloomy, floating souls and underworld ghosts escorting the souls can be seen everywhere. The road to the underworld is winding and winding, and the Wangchuan River flows slowly.

The three of them waited beside the woods where a group of lonely ghosts were wandering.

Donghuang Taiyi is no longer the remnant soul of the past, and his soul strength is close to that of a Qigong Master in the God Gathering Realm. There is no problem in normal reincarnation.

As soon as he saw Li Pingan, Zhong Ling burst into laughter.

Donghuang Taiyi and the nine-tailed fox Zhichu's soul saluted at the same time, but Donghuang Taiyi's voice was a bit perfunctory and disapproving, while Zhichu's voice was full of respect.

"Meet His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven."

Li Ping'an smiled and said: "Now they all call me Taoist master, because I have become a Taoist."

Donghuang Taiyi laughed and scolded: "Why, you still insist on me pretending to be your sworn brother?"

"Based on this, then I must be your adopted brother."

There was a sense of powerlessness in Li Ping'an's words:

"Let's go, I'll send you to reincarnation. From now on, you should be a good person, practice well, and strive to play a part in our great journey of opening up a new world."

"This," Donghuang Taiyi said with a smile, "didn't I tell you before?"

"tell me what?"

"I want to drink Meng Po soup and be reincarnated."

You can almost hear a needle drop in the forest corners.

The smile on Nine-tailed Fox Zhichu's face immediately froze, while Zhong Ling also frowned to express his confusion.

Li Ping'an pondered for a few times: "Is there a deviation in your understanding of this matter? Meng Po soup is not something you can drink casually. It can wash away all the memories of a soul. I have strengthened the rules of the way of heaven. After being washed,

The lost memory cannot be restored, that is, there is no saying that after drinking Meng Po soup and reincarnating, one can inherit the memory of the previous life."
