To live in the floods [ floods ]

bang——

When the bell rang, the main hall was opened, and the civil and military officials lined up in two rows from the stone steps on both sides.

"It is said that Bo Yi, the eldest son of the Xibohou, was admitted to the hall to have an audience—" The long voice was transmitted layer by layer, from the inside of the hall to the 99 steps outside the hall.

Bo Yikao was dressed in Yingniao men's clothing, solemnly flicked his sleeves, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, holding a wat board and slowly stepped up the steps, doubts arose in his heart.

He had just entered Chaoge and before he had time to inquire about the news, he was picked up by the people sent by Di Xin, but they did not send him to the post house, but arranged for him a separate residence, and the attendants in it were very strict. , he couldn't get any news about his father.

Entering the main hall, Bo Yikao lowered his head and bowed respectfully to Emperor Xin three times and nine times in accordance with the highest etiquette, but he didn't hear Di Xin's order to get him up for a long time.

After a long time, when Bo Yikao felt that his knees were numb, a majestic order "raise your head and let Gu see" finally came from above his head.

He raised his head slowly.

Di Xin looked at Bo Yi Kao, and sneered, he was as thin as a bamboo pole, but his face was quite pale, and at first glance, he lacked energy and blood, if he put on a skirt, he could be regarded as a woman.

"It's nothing more than that." Di Xin was very sarcastic, "I heard that you are good at etiquette and music?"

No matter how stupid Bo Yikao was, he could hear Di Xin's dislike for him. His heart tightened, and he felt that his father must have been suppressed by Di Xin. Anger, these thoughts are just flashes, the expression on Bo Yikao's face becomes more respectful.

"Bo Yi Kao is only a little familiar with rituals and music, and I dare not say he is good at it." What does Di Xin mean?Why are you asking him this?

"I heard that you once had a marriage contract with the young lady of Su Hu's family... I don't know if the eldest son feels that you have taken away your wife." Di Xin sneered, thinking that the little boy kneeling below had a marriage contract with Daji. I can't wait to pull him out and chop him up.

If Daji hadn't entered the palace, would it be this little boy who was wearing the folded clothes with her instead of herself? Could it be that the Mingjun she assisted was not an orphan but your next Xibohou in Boyi's examination?

Bo Yikao broke into a cold sweat when he heard this. He heard that Di Xin's only concubine was Su Hu's daughter as far away as Xiqi. The heart of killing him is clearly revealed!

Bo Yikao's mouth was dry, and after a trembling excuse, he was helpless and his legs were soft, and he was helped out of the palace by the attendants. He bumped into a woman on the way, and before he had time to apologize, he got up in a hurry and ran out.

"I met a frizzy man on the road. Could it be Bo Yi Kao?" Daji complained as she sat down behind the table familiarly.

Di Xin raised his head and snorted coldly, "Isn't it your ex-fiancé, Bo Yikao, the eldest son of Xibohou?"

"I don't know why you fell in love with him, he is as cowardly as a mouse." Di Xin said more and more bitterly, "You only need to share half of the homework if you help me, I think if you marry that softie, he Don’t leave everything to yourself to enjoy yourself.”

Di Xin unceremoniously dismissed Bo Yi Kao as worthless, almost showing his jealousy clearly on his face.

Daji laughed and said: "The one who is engaged to Bo Yikao is Su Hu's daughter Su Da and not me, Daji. Why are you jealous of this?"

Di Xin: ...

Like, yes oh.

In the post house, Ji Chang was already as fat as when he first came to Chaoge. He rushed to sit in the dining room early in the morning with great interest, and asked his attendants to bring him a bowl of warm meatballs.

The more you chew, the more delicious it becomes. With the meatball in his mouth, Ji Chang tilted his head and asked happily, "What kind of meat is this meatball made of today? Why is it so delicious?"

Shang Qian became ill-intentioned, and she had been with Ji Chang for so many days to inquire about the news, and she had long wanted to take the opportunity to find a chance to slip away.

So he squeezed his throat deliberately: "Master Hou, do you know that the eldest son feels that Chao Ge wants to save you because he is worried about your comfort?"

"I heard that the eldest son somehow angered the king..." Shang Qian seemed vague.

As if Ji Chang was struck by lightning, he immediately thought of the ominous hexagrams that had been divined a few days ago, and the balls in his mouth seemed to turn bloody instantly.

He trembled his lips, knowing that he was afraid that what he was eating was the flesh and blood of Bo Yikao, but he did not dare to vomit in consideration of Di Xin's eyes and ears. His heart seemed to be cut into thousands of thin slices by a dagger, dripping drop by drop. Blood.

"Bo, Bo Yikao, he—" Ji Chang said tremblingly.

"Father!"

Ji Chang seemed to still hear the voice of his eldest son calling his father with respect, and his heart ached even more for a moment.

His son, his son...

"Father! Father!" Bo Yikao seemed to be wondering why Ji Chang didn't respond.

Ji Chang raised his head abruptly, his pupils dilated suddenly: "Kao'er?"

Bo Yikao smiled heartily: "It's the boy. The boy was really worried when he saw that his father hadn't returned for a long time, so he went to Chaoge to look for his father, but he didn't expect his father...you can rest assured if you are healthy."

It's not just Kang Jian, his father has gained a whole body of himself, and Bo Yi Kao didn't dare to admit it when he first met.

He was skinny and skinny, and he thought that his father, who was imprisoned and suffering, had rounded up several times.

Only then did Shang Qian calmly add the second half of the sentence: "So the king was so angry that he ordered to meet the princes tomorrow, and let the princes return to the fief as soon as possible after the audience."

Ji Chang: ...

What Benhou hates the most is half-spoken people like you.

But it's good to be able to go back, Ji Chang smiled as if he was relieved, and felt happy.

This good mood lasted until the next day when he heard Di Xin's decree to "pity the princes' love for their sons alone, and order the princes to distribute the fiefs to all their children".

After the royal decree was issued, Di Xin didn't care how much uproar his order caused, he just patted his robe and left, and by the way informed all the princes that they could leave Chaoge and go back to their homes.

Beibohou Chonghouhu is the calmest one. He has only one son and no daughters. This imperial decree has no influence on him at all. Dongbohou is also happy. He has two sons and a daughter. He can rest assured that the child will make a living in the future, and now he can give some fiefdom to other children.

Only Ji Chang, looking at the imperial decree in his hand, had a turbulent sea in his heart.

He has a hundred sons, and there are more than 20 of his own. Even if one person is only given a fief with a radius of a hundred miles, a hundred sons will be given a land with a radius of ten thousand miles. How big is the whole of Xiqi?

In this way, Xiqi will inevitably become smaller and smaller, and will cease to exist in a hundred years.It's really a vicious strategy!

Shang Qian rubbed his nose, wondering who was speaking ill of her behind her back.

"Master Hou, shall we go back to Xiqi now?" Shang Qian asked casually.

Ji Chang sighed quietly, and nodded slightly. The matter had to wait until he returned to Xiqi to make a long-term plan. After stepping on the frame, Ji Chang subconsciously touched the tortoise shell in his waist pocket, and his expression changed drastically.

Trembling, he took out the tortoise shell—the tortoise shell that originally had only one crack was now full of cracks.

fierce!dear ones!

Ji Chang collapsed on the carriage frame with a bang.

At this moment, the ground trembled, the horses pulling the cart struggled, the whole frame swayed from side to side, and the rumbling noise became louder and louder.

"Young Master, be careful!" A heart-piercing shout came from outside.

Ji Chang didn't care that the carriage was still swaying, and quickly leaned on the wall of the carriage to open the curtain, but happened to see a scene that made him tear his lungs apart.

"My son!" Ji Chang's pupils reflected Bo Yikao who was crushed by a boulder and lost his human form, and the bright red blood on the ground stimulated his young heart like a knife.

But in an instant, Ji Chang couldn't bear the pain of losing his son anymore, his eyes turned white, and he passed out.

Shang Qian was dumbfounded, what she was thinking at this moment was that the elderly really shouldn't eat too much fat, it's over now, high blood fat and strong stimulation, Ji Chang won't just die like this, right?

She took two quick steps, and the flustered horses calmed down the moment Shang Qian approached, allowing Shang Qian to step on the frame and check Ji Chang's breathing.

Fortunately, he is still alive.

Shang Qian painlessly took out a elixir of the worst quality, muttering: "It's cheaper for you..." and stuffed it into Ji Chang's mouth.

An hour and a half later, Ji Chang woke up leisurely, with tears streaming down his face, and walked to Boyi Kao's bloody corpse step by step, wailing loudly.

But after some investigation, it was found that the rocks falling from the mountain happened to hit Bo Yikao. Ji Chang did not give up and did the calculations three times, and the divinations were all due to natural disasters.

With Bo Yikao's body, the convoy was on the road again. Ji Chang could see with the naked eye that he quickly lost the meat he ate in Chaoge. what to think.

At the junction of the Shang Dynasty and Xiqi, Shen Gongbao, who was waiting here, greeted him with a smile, and then burst into tears after seeing Bo Yikao's body.

"Eldest son, you died so badly..." But Shen Gongbao covered his face with his sleeves, but there was no trace of sadness on his face under the sleeves.

Shang Qian looked at Shen Gongbao who was pretending to be crying, and Bo Yikao who was dying in peace, and she felt that she seemed to understand something.

Hiss~ fellow daoist, please stay put, it’s so terrifying!

After Ji Chang returned to Xiqi, he and Tai Si hugged Bo Yikao's body and cried for a while, and fell seriously ill. Just when Shang Qian wondered if he would also be cursed to death by Shen Gongbao, Ji Chang Strong cheer up, secretly dispatched soldiers.

Maybe he felt that he didn't have a few years to live and wanted to rebel while he was still alive?Shang Qian speculated that she was not idle either, and these days she brought Kong Xuan to interview a batch of Phoenixes.

The day when the phoenix crows at Qishan is the official start of the Conferred God War, and Shang Qian has to choose a suitable phoenix and send it to Qishan to sing.

The image can't be too good-looking, the sound can't be too good-sounding, and we must strive to prevent Xiqi from gaining some prestige. In short, we need to find an ugly bird.

This is really not an easy task, looking for beautiful birds is everywhere in the Phoenix Clan, but it is really not easy to find an ugly bird, and the merchants did not hold much hope.

In the end, I actually found a phoenix of a different species—the ghost car, also known as the nine-headed phoenix, which is different from the usual auspicious phoenix. The sound is more like crying than tweeting.

"Three days later, you can go to Qishan and call twice." Shang Qian touched the middle end of the ghost car and said with emotion.

Three days later, Fengming Qishan, Xiqi spread such news, but the senior officials who knew the truth were all shy about the specific situation of that day...

The attention of the whole prehistoric period was focused on Xiqi and the Shang Dynasty.

Shang Qian left without a sound, and sneakily left Shen Gongbao a tip before leaving.

Maybe Ji Chang really felt that his time was short and wanted to complete the business entrusted to him by his ancestors before he died. Maybe he felt that if he didn't do anything and waited until the Shang Dynasty became stronger again, Xiqi would have no chance. He began to contact The princes from all walks of life recruited strange people and scholars.

Jiang Ziya, who was fishing with a straight hook by the river, came into Ji Chang's eyes in this way. In order to show his thirst for talent, Ji Chang even pulled a cart to invite Jiang Ziya himself.

After he had a chat with Jiang Ziya, he was even more shocked by Jiang Ziya, and pulled the cart for Jiang Ziya himself, and got a comment: King Wen pulled the cart for 800 steps, and the Zhou Dynasty lasted for [-] years.

On the second day, he worshiped Jiang Ziya as the prime minister, and entrusted him with all the powers of the general.

When Jiang Ziya came to Shen Gongbao in the prime minister's official uniform, Shen Gongbao dismissed him with a smile.

Turning around, his face was gloomy, and he swept the teacup on the table to the ground, his eyes were reddened with resentment.

It's like this again, he worked in a low voice for so long before he got the position of national teacher, and Jiang Ziya easily got the position of prime minister who is under one person and above ten thousand without doing anything!

Shen Gongbao lowered his head halfway, covering the darkness in his eyes, and uttered two words in a hoarse and calm voice: "Fengshen."

Fengshenbang, Jiang Ziya, explain the teachings!

He absolutely wants Senior Shang Qian to know that he is more than a hundred times better than Jiang Ziya...
