Li Dazhi looked at Li Ping'an's clone up and down and said with a smile:
"Yes, he's quite handsome... But having said that, son, how did you get yourself into such a mess? You were almost plotted by a mortal."
Li Ping'an sighed: "I don't pay much attention to it. I have been concentrating on having fun recently."
"Wanting a second child? This relationship is great!"
"Dad, please save your worries!"
Li Ping'an felt helpless to complain. Li Yingying and Li Yiqing were already ashamed of him. As a father, he didn't teach them well. How could they still be alive? He didn't have the energy to support them.
Li Ping'an pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Dad, look below, how to deal with this matter."
Li Dazhi blinked: "What should we do? This guy wants to poison you, why do you care about him! Didn't you say that Nanzhou has no script anymore, so you won't interfere more? Are you taking action?
"
"The main reason is that I like this guy Ji Fa," Li Ping'an smiled, "Didn't you already tell me that I am promoting the birth of Zhou Li, so I must have a hand in protecting him. As for Ji Kao... forget it."
"Okay, nothing happens, just sit and watch the show."
Li Dazhi took out two futons inlaid with gold and jade and a low table and placed them in front of Li Ping'an.
Li Ping'an didn't really want to continue watching. He had already foreseen a tragedy happening.
But if my father wants to see it, then he can see it.
Li Ping'an sat down with a smile, watching his father take out fairy wine, fairy fruit, and fried peanuts one by one, and then started eating by himself.
If you improve this body's physique, you might be able to become more handsome.
In the big tent below.
A beautiful girl walked up to Ji Kao.
…
"Eldest Young Master, where are the Second Young Master and the Fourth Young Master?"
"They," Jikao's Adam's apple trembled, "they disappeared...didn't you see it just now? The fourth child just went up, he flew up! He disappeared immediately!"
Ji Kao pointed to the maids on the side, only to realize that those maids had just woken up from their slumber, and they didn't know why they had fallen asleep before.
The soldiers and guards were all in a daze at the moment.
One person whispered: "Eldest Young Master, the Fourth Young Master seems to have suddenly disappeared... He was sitting here, and then, he disappeared in a whoosh..."
The businessman Mei Ji was also a little confused.
"Then, what should we do now? We have reported it to the king. This matter is here."
Ji Kao looked far away in the direction of Xiqi.
He looked down at his palms and remembered those bunches of golden light again.
Gods, are the gods really not above the Great Shang Kingdom?
Then what on earth did he ask for before...
There was a rumbling sound outside the camp, which was a large number of alien beast cavalry rushing towards this place.
Ji Kao sat there stunned for a long time, as if he was in a daze.
A guard came to report hurriedly, saying that Wang Shubigan had sent a team of elite soldiers to take three young masters from Xibohou Mansion into Chaoge.
The beautiful girl was already panicking. Ji Fa and Ji Dan were nowhere to be found. So what should happen...
"Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Master?"
Meiji shouted sadly:
"How can I believe it if I tell your Majesty this matter? It would be better to ride a horse and return to Xiqi immediately."
Ji Kao seemed to suddenly come back to his senses. He was about to speak, but when the words came to his mouth, he turned into a weird expression of crying and laughing at the same time, and he hugged Mei Ji suddenly.
Mei Ji was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react. She trembled and wanted to hug Ji Kao, but as soon as she made a move, a dagger pierced her chest and penetrated her heart.
The businessman Meiji's eyes widened and her body slowly fell backwards.
Ji Kao tried his best to kick his legs and dodge backwards. Due to the stimulation of the blood, his breathing became slightly faster.
A group of guards, maids, and Mei Ji looked on, all stunned.
This is not the eldest son’s favorite beauty... In recent years, he has been sleeping with her almost every night...
"Haha, hahahaha!"
Ji Kao raised his head and smiled, tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes, and his clothes became a little messy.
One person asked hurriedly: "My lord, are you frightened?"
"Drag her down," Ji Kao murmured, "As long as I kill my favorite Mei Ji in advance, the king will not be able to treat me like he did last time."
"yes!"
The guards immediately moved forward. Although they did not understand what Ji Kao meant, they did not feel sorry for Mei Ji at this moment.
She is just a beautiful girl, and her real status is higher than that of a slave.
Ji Kao stopped for a long time until a large number of armored soldiers rushed out of the camp. The merchant general Fei Zhong personally led hundreds of elites to appear outside the tent.
All the guards of the Xibohou Mansion drew their swords at the same time, but Ji Kao's voice came from the camp:
"Everyone, please retreat. How dare you use your swords against the king's soldiers?"
Ji Kao whispered, walking forward with somewhat heavy steps, and walked outside the tent door.
Fei Zhong, who was wearing armor, frowned and asked: "Master Ji Kao, do you know where Master Ji Fa and Master Ji Dan are?"
"They are back," Ji Kao said calmly, brushing aside the guards in front of him and showing Fei Zhong a wry smile. "The news was leaked in advance. Their carriages had been empty for a long time. People with similar body shapes were used to dress them up.
Now... they should have arrived at Xiqi City."
The people around were stunned for a moment.
What does the eldest son mean by this?
Fei Zhong snorted heavily on the tip of his nose: "In that case, Mr. Ji Kao, please don't make things difficult for me, just come with us!"
"I was just about to pay my respects to the king," Ji Kao sighed, "please intercede for me, the people of Zhou."
Fei Zhong didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
A group of guards moved forward and surrounded Ji Kao. The guards of the Xibohou Mansion were at a loss what to do, and in the end they could only watch Ji Kao being taken away.
On the cloud.
Li Dazhi muttered: "Has this Ji Kao been stimulated in any way? Why does it feel like his mental state is not normal? It's very strange that Mei Ji died."
He was just about to count with his fingers.
"Dad," Li Ping'an reminded, "it's best not to check this section, it's not a good thing."
"I'm still not curious if you don't tell me," Li Dazhi blinked and calculated with his fingers. Three black lines instantly appeared on his forehead.
He is one of the six immortals in Heaven. It is easy to find out what happened to the common people in Nanzhou.
The various situations in which young Ji Kao entered Chaoge City, including the arrangements made by Emperor Xin to control Ji Kao, opened Li Dazhi's eyes.
"Good guy," Li Dazhi exhaled, "this Emperor Xin is a bit ruthless, and his methods are quite clever. It is quite good for them to have such a vision despite not knowing the whole world. The whole Dachang people don't believe it the most.
If there is a god in heaven and earth, it is Di Xin."
Li Ping'an looked at Ji Kao's figure below, shook his head and chuckled: "In the past, maybe I would have resonated with Ji Kao, thinking that he was driven crazy by Di Xin, but now, I don't think so anymore.
."
"Oh?" Li Dazhi asked with great interest, "What do you think?"
"Heaven and Earth are unkind and regard all creatures as stupid dogs," Li Ping'an said slowly, "These creatures in my eyes are no different from grass and immortals. They have nothing to do with their names, personalities, origins, knowledge, and abilities. They are all treated equally."
Li Dazhi was stunned for a moment: "Son, don't scare me. Are you assimilated by Heaven?"
Li Ping'an said helplessly: "Dad, I am enlightening the great road! The great road is ringing. Don't be happy with things and don't be sad with yourself!"
"Ah," Li Dazhi chuckled, "I want to adjust the atmosphere. I am afraid that you will forget yourself in your cultivation."
"In fact, there is no self, only ideas and obsessions."
Li Pingan looked up at the sky:
"Keep watching. You and I don't have to take action later. I want to see why the Shang Kingdom fell. As far as the current situation is concerned, Emperor Xin has already pulled up the Shang Kingdom. In his hands, the three major princes are almost all different.
The enemy of unity."
"Look, I just took a few years off."
Li Dazhi crossed his legs, originally sitting on the cloud, but seemed to be sitting on the edge of a kang.
The father and son chatted wordlessly, and as the night fell, Ji Kao was quickly brought back to Chaoge City.
Chaoge City was very large, and it was not until noon on the second day that Ji Kao knelt down in front of Emperor Xin.
…
Di Xin leaned back on the soft cushions and enjoyed the service of several beauties.
Due to the indulgence and drinking in recent years, he was already a little tired, his temples were slightly white, and his eye sockets were sunken deeper.
Di Xin yawned, looked at Ji Kao who was kneeling below, and asked slowly:
"You mean to say that your second brother and fourth brother found out a long time ago that you were going to drug them and escaped in advance?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ji Kao shouted in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, please punish me! I have failed you!"
"Have you failed me?" Di Xin chuckled, "You deserve it too?"
Ji Kao trembled all over and buried his head tighter.
Di Xin waved his hand, and the weak and boneless bodies of several beauties fell to the side. Di Xin slowly stood up, walked down the steps slowly, and stared at Ji Kao's figure.
He walked with his hands behind his back and said slowly: "Jikao, do you know what I admire most about you?"
Ji Kao didn't dare to answer.
"You can bear it."
Di Xin clicked his tongue:
"Although there are many brothers of yours, not many have achieved great success. Your second brother is just a reckless man. Although he is brave, how many brave generals do we have in this world? They are countless and there is no way to use them all.
"That fourth brother of yours is the most strange one. He was chosen by your father to pretend to be a ghost.
"You should understand in your heart why your father did this... He was afraid of the widow, the late king, and the god above me, Dashang!
"So your father tried his best to tell others that there are gods in your Zhou Kingdom.
"What's this called?
"A disloyal heart."
Ji Kao shouted loudly: "Please be careful, Your Majesty! Everyone in the Xibohou Mansion is loyal to Your Majesty! There is absolutely no second intention!"
"We're not stupid, it's just you and me here, why are we so pretentious?"
Di Xin walked slowly around Ji Kao:
"You are so much like your father. You pretend to get by with everything on weekdays, but secretly you are constantly sharpening your fangs.
"In the past fifty years, your Zhou Kingdom has stationed troops, stocked up grain, and forged armor and chariot frames, and the number of them far exceeded that of Bei Bohou Mansion.
"You also like to hide a large number of weapons underground so that you can take them out immediately when they are useful later. You also use marriage methods to find allies in the north and south areas to the west of you. You also hide some civilians to open up new cities and pretend to be incompatible with each other.
, and you are constantly uniting with the Qiang tribes in the west. Every time you are ordered to conquer the west, you will continue to support the tribes you have cultivated and solve those tribes that are dissatisfied with you.
"The harm you do to the Zhou Kingdom is far greater than that of the Jiang family."
"Your Majesty!" Ji Kao shouted tremblingly, "I know nothing about these things!"
"It's not that you know nothing, you know too much."
Di Xin said slowly:
"After you first returned to Xiqi, the people I arranged to be by your side were either sick or fell to death when hunting.
"Most of it is gone.
"Wang Shu Bigan has been urging you to seize power as soon as possible, but you faced your second brother's aggressive behavior and showed that you were very angry while doing nothing.
"Finally, I can't pretend anymore today? You didn't bring your second and fourth brothers to Chaoge City at all, right?"
Ji Kao's Adam's apple kept trembling, and he shouted: "Your Majesty, please look into it! I really don't know!"
What Di Xin said is not entirely true.
Li Ping'an, who was watching this scene from above, felt clear in his heart.
Ji Kao was indeed a 'surrender' before, but he was just shocked, his way of thinking has changed, and his original understanding has been subverted.
Di Xin sneered, walked to the guard on the side, pulled out a sharp long sword, and threw it in front of Ji Kao.
Di Xin said calmly: "I will give you two choices. Die here today and I will let your father go. Or, take this sword, go find your father, pierce his neck with the sword, and then you will be the new one."
Xibohou!"
Ji Kao's pupils shrank and he stared at the sword carefully, his breathing almost stopping.
Di Xin narrowed his eyes at Jikao and said slowly: "What, you don't dare?"
"The king has an order, but I don't dare!"
Ji Kao grabbed the hilt of the long sword, his breathing became more and more rapid, and he said firmly:
"Please, Your Majesty, send someone to escort me to Youli immediately! I don't want to wait any longer!"
"Oh? Hahaha! Hahahaha!"
Di Xin raised his head and laughed:
"Have I misjudged you? Or are you so forbearing that you can kill your own father? Hahahaha! Ji Kao, Ji Kao, you are really interesting..."
Ji Kao lowered his head and smiled apologetically, his legs slowly arched, and a look of absolute certainty flashed through his eyes.
He raised his head suddenly, exerted force with both feet, and stepped forward quickly. The sword in his hand vibrated slightly. He, who had never shown any martial arts skills, was like a cheetah, charging towards Di Xin with one sword and one sword!
"King, be careful!"
"King!"
The guards shouted and rushed forward, but before they could make a move, Ji Kao had already rushed in front of Di Xin.
A somewhat contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Di Xin's mouth, and he ducked to the left, easily dodging Ji Kao's stab, and then kicked him out. Ji Kao's body flew straight away and fell on the carpet a few feet away.
He lowered his head and vomited blood.
Di Xin looked at Ji Kao with a smile:
"Compared to your father, you are so far behind.
"If I attack you because you intend to assassinate me, wouldn't I be able to justifiably attack your Xibohou Mansion?"
Ji Kao was startled for a moment.
The guards rushed forward and thrust two spears into Ji Kao's chest. He wanted to speak, but could not utter a single word.
Di Xin shook his head and murmured: "Unfortunately, what I lack now is not an excuse to send troops, but elite soldiers who can reliably attack the Zhou Kingdom. Otherwise, why bother to put so much effort... Come here!"
"King!"
"It is said to the outside world that Ji Kao sacrificed himself and offered sacrifices to the ancestors of our great merchants."
Di Xin said calmly:
"Exonerate Xibohou from his crime.
"Jikao dedicates himself to the gods, cooks his breasts, and makes delicious food. He sends it to Ji Chang in Youli. He asks Ji Chang to taste it, tell him how it tastes, and then tell the eight hundred princes about it."
"yes!"
"Humph, sage, god?"
Di Xin waved his sleeves:
"Soldiers are those who have soldiers, horses, and food; only gods are those who sweep through the army!"
The guards did not dare to say a word.
On the cloud.
Li Dazhi raised his hand to his forehead, not knowing how to comment, when he saw Li Ping'an make a move with his left hand, and Ji Kao's soul appeared in front of the father and son.
Ji Kao was obviously stunned. He looked down at Chaoge City below and looked up at the people in front of him.
He looked at Li Ping'an. Li Ping'an was still using Ji Dan's clone at the moment. In Ji Kao's eyes, he was the fourth son of the Xibohou Mansion.
"Fourth...you..."
"What are you talking about," Li Dazhi said calmly, "I have to see the Emperor of Heaven today, why don't you kneel down and worship quickly!"
