Magic world

It has to be said that Ji Fa is worthy of being the son of the world, the guy with the halo of the protagonist, and his martial arts qualifications are really unparalleled. In just three days, he trained Bai Yunyan on the first level of the Huntian Baojian to great perfection. I started to practice Meixiadang, but within five days, I reached great success and continued to practice Tukunlun... Ito Cheng was speechless.

Fortunately, Ito Cheng was not without gains while teaching Jifa. Whenever his magical skills improved and the Nine-Five Dragon Qi surged in his body, Ito Cheng would take out the Heshibi and extract the Nine-Five Dragon Qi from him at the right time. Subtly, It affects the progress of his life star, earns the power of the world that escapes from it, and strengthens the power of He's wall.

This afternoon, with a strange "crunch" sound, Suzaku, still dressed in weird clothes, pushed the door and walked into the room.

"City Lord, Xibohou has arrived." Suzaku reported.

"How many people are here?" Ito Cheng asked.

"In addition to Xibohou himself, there are five thousand accompanying soldiers." Zhuque replied.

"Entertain according to the rules." Ito Cheng said quietly.

"Yes." Suzaku responded.

Suzaku then bowed to Ito and exited the room.

"I don't know what choice that guy Ji Chang will make. I guess he won't compromise." Ito Cheng, who watched Suzaku leave, looked forward with vacant eyes, and whispered to himself as if his eyes could penetrate everything.

On the other side, at the gate of Piaomiao City, two capable teams stood facing each other. One of the troops was neatly armored and led by a handsome middle-aged man with a righteous face. The number of soldiers in the group was all clear. At first glance, it looked like a man in common clothes with profound internal skills was following closely behind him, a pair of protective guards. Captain's driving. ——It was Xibohou Jichang and his party.

"Master Hou. This is our deputy city lord of Piaomiao City, Lord Suzaku." At this time. A bald man dressed as a person from Piaomiao City pointed to Suzaku sitting astride a horse at the front of another team and introduced.

"Your Excellency, we welcome you very much. Due to lack of space in the city and poor greeting, we can only welcome five hundred soldiers into the city. The rest will be asked to camp outside the city. We will provide good food." Suzaku said. He immediately stepped forward, clasping his fists and saying.

And when he saw that the woman who came to greet him was a woman, although she had the name of deputy city lord, she still did not match his status as Xibo Hou. Therefore, although he did not show any signs of anger, the suddenly gloomy expression on his face was clearly expressed. out of his displeasure.

"This arrangement is really unavoidable. Please forgive me, Mr. Hou." The bald man on the side saw the opportunity and explained.

"Hmph." Ji Chang snorted secretly in his heart, turned to the music general beside him and said, "Music General, please arrange for 4,500 people to camp outside the city."

"Yes!" Le Jiang responded with clasped fists.

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Hou." Zhuque said, then turned his horse's head, extended his arms as an invitation and said, "Your Majesty, please!"

At the right moment, the Piaomiao City team blocking the door quickly branched off to both sides, turning into a human wall and standing on the left and right of the city gate. Zhuque took the lead, leading Xibohou Jichang and the several generals and ceremonial generals behind him. Another rich man wearing Taoist robes and five hundred soldiers entered Piaomiao City.

On both sides of the square in the city, a large number of men and women gathered together, vying to look at Xibohou and his party, making noisy discussions. It seemed very lively.

"Wow, Xibohou looks handsome!"

"So manly, so charming."

"The relationship between the two parties was originally a fight of life and death. How could we have expected that such a day would come."

"The world is constantly changing, so why is it so strange?"

"..."

that's all. Under the watch of the people in the city, Xibohou and his team arrived at the depths of the square. Here, another group of troops appeared in solemn appearance, and Ge Ji Yaori's group appeared on the field.

"I've met the deputy city lord, I've met the Xibo Marquis." At this time, a man who looked like a leader came forward on his horse, cupping his fists and saluting.

"This is the manager of my Piaomiao City. He will be responsible for entertaining the five hundred soldiers who accompanied the Marquis into the city." Suzaku introduced.

"Thank you." Ji Chang said politely, cupping his fists.

"Where. Mr. Hou's prestige is as strong as thunder, and he is indeed as graceful as a god! It is really a great honor for me to have the honor to entertain Mr. Hou!" The steward said politely quickly, with an unusually low profile.

"Please invite the Lord Marquis and his cronies to rest in the palace, and the accompanying military staff please be stationed in the main campus." Then, the steward said again.

Then Xibohou, the ceremonial general, several generals, and the short and fat Taoist got off their horses and walked into an empty house together with Zhuque and other new high-level officials of Piaomiao City.

"Master Hou, please have a rest first. The city lord will host a banquet for Master Hou later. Please be patient and wait." Suzaku said after Xibo Hou and others were settled.

"Deputy City Lord Zhuque, I wonder if my sons Ji Fa and Xiu Wei are well? Can you let us meet them?" Ji Fa asked with his fists clasped.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hou. The second young master and Lieutenant Xiu are the distinguished guests of my city lord. They don't dare to neglect the reception and service on weekdays. Therefore, except that they cannot leave the city without authorization, it will be the same as usual. I promise that when the master sees you again in the future, they will Seeing a healthy two people." Suzaku smiled.

Although there is no clear answer to the latter question, the meaning is very clear, that is, I can't see you for the time being.

"Hmph." Upon hearing this, the short and fat man next to him let out a cold snort with a look of displeasure on his face.

"Sorry to trouble everyone in Piaomiao City." Ji Chang said politely.

"Your Majesty, your words are serious." Suzaku replied, "Master Hou, take a rest. I'll take my leave first."

After that, he bowed to Ji Chang again and led everyone out of the room.

"That's unreasonable! It's clearly a prison sentence, but it's actually called care. It's really shameless." After Suzaku left, the short, fat young man said loudly with an angry look on his face.

"Senior brother, please be patient. No matter what, the matter has come to this point. If City Master Chen really wants to resist to the end, I will teach him a lesson. At the same time, I will also remove this city of all evil from the border and return the place to the place." This is a paradise for the common people." After hearing the words of the short and fat Taoist, Ji Chang couldn't help but persuade. But when he talked about it later, his words also revealed his decisive attitude towards Piaomiao City.

It is also not difficult to guess from Ji Chang's words that this short and fat Taoist is none other than the contemporary head of the Guangcheng Immortal Sect. Ji Chang's senior brother - Yiyouzi.

After the Nujiang War that day, it was because of Ito Cheng's intervention. As a result, Yiyouzi did not have to be manipulated by the electric general and the demon commander one after another like in the original work, and he recovered from his injuries smoothly. And returned to Xiqi City to explain the matter above the Nu River to his junior brother Ji Chang.

Of course, this also includes Ito Cheng's proposal to replace Hetu with Jifa.

However, when it comes to whether to agree to the other party's request, Yiyouzi, who cares about the sect, seems a little hesitant. After all, although Hetu is important, a successor who can carry forward the sect is not bad, not to mention Ji Fa. This boy was said to be a nephew, but he was no different from his direct disciple... But it was Ji Chang, who was full of righteousness and vetoed the proposal without hesitation!

Then the matter was put aside for the time being, and Yiyouzi also left the Houfu and returned to Yinbaoshan, the headquarters of the Guangcheng Immortal Sect, to continue recovering from his injuries. Waiting for news from Ito Cheng.

However, who would have known that this wait would last almost a week!

But fortunately, the news finally came. After Ji Chang discussed the general regulations with Generals Li, Shu, and Le, he set off overnight to Yinbaoshan and informed Yiyouzi of the news about Ji Fa. , Shun Dao also wanted to ask his senior brother to come out to add some protection for his next actions.

The result was very gratifying. Yiyouzi happily agreed to Ji Chang's request for the sake of Ji Fa, the future leader of the Guangcheng Immortal Sect who had been selected by him. He came to Piaomiao City with the team.

"Master Hou, the city lord deliberately dispersed our troops. It is very likely that he has evil intentions. We have to guard against this." After seeing Ji Chang persuade Yiyouzi. General Li reminded him.

"Hmph, if he thinks he can wipe out our army like this, that's really fanciful!" Ji Chang snorted coldly.

While Ji Chang and others were discussing in private. An hour passed in the blink of an eye. Then at this moment, Suzaku's voice came clearly from outside the closed door.

"Master Xibo. Suzaku wants to see you for something."

Ji Chang, his senior brother and the third lieutenant looked at each other, then raised their voices and said to the soldiers guarding outside the door, "Please!"

"Squeak~" continued. The door opened, and Suzaku's figure emerged from the doorway.

"Master Hou, the dinner has been prepared. The city lord is waiting for Master Hou in the hall. Please move aside." Suzaku said, cupping his fists.

"I don't dare bother the city lord to wait for a long time. Please ask the deputy city lord Zhuque to lead the way." Ji Chang returned the greeting.

"Your Majesty, please." Suzaku turned sideways and invited.

Ji Chang and others also hesitated, and then followed Suzaku out of the room where they rested, facing the cold wind on the top of the mountain, and headed towards Chengzhu Mansion deep in Piaomiao City.

It didn't take long for the group of people to arrive at the main hall of the city lord's mansion where the banquet was held.

The first thing that caught the eye of Ji Chang and others was a huge hall, covering an area of ​​about 200 square meters. The ceiling was supported by four opposing square stone pillars. The floor was covered with smooth and shiny marble, and it was placed on the left and right sides. There are three low tables, and nine bright yellow futons are placed either in pairs or singly behind the low tables.

There is also a low table on the main seat at the end of the room. A handsome young man wearing a close-fitting robe cut from Xishu brocade is sitting behind it, looking at them with interest. .

There is a row of soldiers standing on both sides, holding bright Ligo and standing guard with solemn faces, exuding a faint military murderous aura, which from the side highlights the extraordinary and unusual temperament of the owner.

"Hehehe, our distinguished guest is here, welcome, welcome!" Ito Cheng jumped lightly and fell in front of Ji Chang and others like a feather. He clasped his fists and said, "As expected of Xibohou, he is wise and martial, outstanding and capable. Visiting He Mansion really makes everyone in He Mansion feel radiant."

"City Master Chen is ridiculous. City Master Chen can achieve such a high position at such a young age, and his talents are among the heroes of the world. I am not as good as the City Master at this age." Ji Chang said modestly.

"Xibohou is ridiculous. I am just relying on force to dominate. I can't compare to you, Xibohou. You are unparalleled in wisdom and courage. You can manage a Xiqi to be so prosperous with your own abilities." Ito Cheng said with the same politeness and humility. .

"City Lord, the Marquis and the Second Young Master have not seen each other for a long time. Can you invite him to come out for a reunion?" Seeing that Ito Cheng and Ji Changda had the intention of complimenting each other, Lieutenant Li on the side couldn't help but interjected.

"Hahaha, this is a banquet. It is not suitable for young men of the Second Young Master's age. We should wait until the dinner is over before inviting them out." Ito Cheng smiled. Then he stretched out his arms and continued, "Everyone, please take a seat and let's talk while we eat."

Then Ito Cheng ignored them, turned around, returned to his seat, and sat down in the lotus position. Ji Chang and others had no choice but to sit down behind the low table next to them.

Then footsteps sounded, and a purple-clad maid with good looks and a hot figure walked out of the side door of the hall, carrying dinner plates one by one in front of everyone, and placed the plates in her hands on Ji Chang and others on the desktop in front of you.

"Master Hou, please enjoy it slowly."

Ji Chang's face remained motionless. He held a slender silver needle between his fingers and used the cover of his palm to reach into the vegetables in front of him to check whether it was poisonous.

"Everyone, please." Ito Cheng smiled.

"Please." Ji Chang and others said. Then they each picked up the chopsticks in front of them, picked up the food on the plate and started eating.

"Well, it smells so good."

Then the beautiful and hot maid came out again and brought out another delicious dish. Then the third, fourth, fifth...

"Could it be that I am a villain? Is City Master Chen really just planning to entertain us?" Ji Chang couldn't help but wonder to himself as he ate one delicious dish after another without noticing anything unusual in the process.

"No matter what, it's better to be careful."

After a while, the entire dinner was over.

"City Lord, now that the dinner party is over, I wonder if we can invite the Second Young Master and Lieutenant Xiu to come out to meet us?" At this time, Lieutenant Li asked again.

"It's natural." Ito Cheng said with a faint smile. However, before Ji Chang and others could feel happy, Ito Cheng's words suddenly changed and he asked, "But the premise is that the deal between us can be concluded smoothly. "

"Master Xibo, I wonder if you have ever brought the things mentioned in my letter?"

"The Hetu is the treasure of my Guangcheng sect, how can I hand it over to others? Please make a request to the city lord. As long as I can fulfill it, I will never refuse!" Ji Chang said seriously.

"Really?" Ito Cheng asked with a half-smile.

"Of course." Ji Chang said with certainty.

"Well, I am not an unreasonable person. As long as you hand over Xiqi City to me, Lord Hou, I will hand the second son back to Lord Hou." Ito Cheng said with a smile.

"What!?"

"wishful thinking!"

"Arrogant!"

As soon as Ji Chang said this, before Ji Chang could say anything, Lieutenant Li, Lieutenant Shu and Yiyouzi beside him all started shouting and cursing.

"I can't forgive you for this!" Ji Chang solemnly said with a firm tone, "Xiqi is the Xiqi given to my Ji family by the king. It is the land of Shang, not the private property of the Ji family. I have no rights. I refuse to hand him over to the city lord!" (To be continued...)
