Xiqi King City.
The courtyard closest to the palace.
The style of the courtyard is not gorgeous, it looks just like ordinary people's homes.
But,
Just by inferring from the geographical location, you can understand that this is definitely not an ordinary home.
This is the closest place to the royal city.
The interior of the courtyard also does not have those splendid decorations, but a minimalist style.
The doors and windows in the courtyard have very ordinary patterns without any fancy embellishments.
On the flat ground outside,
The ground is very flat, covered with square bluestone slabs, and there is a set of simple stone tables and chairs in the central area.
Now there are two figures sitting opposite each other at the table, talking with calm expressions.
Both of them have gray hair, but the difference is that one has an old face, with chapped and white lips. He obviously looks like he is about to die soon, but his body exudes a kind of nobility and domineering that is hard to ignore.
Although the other person's hair is silver, his face looks very young and rosy, and he exudes a natural and peaceful aura.
"Sir, this tea tastes really good and makes you want to drink it."
"If you like it, take it!"
"How can this be so easy to take advantage of? This is inappropriate."
"It's okay, I still have a lot of this kind of stuff."
"Thank you very much, sir." The old man with dry hair thanked him and then continued.
"Sir, the last ten hexagrams of the "Book of Changes" have not been completed. I, Ji Chang, will definitely complete them in the next few months. Don't worry."
"Then thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."
These two people are Wang Ming and Ji Chang.
Ji Chang was supposed to have allowed Ji Fa to succeed to the throne after King Zhou died in the 20th year.
The "Book of Changes" was not completed, so Wang Ming forcibly extended his life for two years.
"Sir, what you said is serious. You have helped me, Xiqi, many times. The only way I, Xiqi, can repay your kindness is to hand over the Book of Changes to you as soon as possible." Ji Chang said with a sincere face.
Wang Ming's official position in Xiqi was Grand Master.
Ji Chang only called him Grand Master when he felt Jiang Ziya was completely superior to Wang Ming during his drift, and then called him Sir at other times, in order to show respect and prevent Wang Ming from feeling the arrogance of a king.
"This time Fa'er and the Prime Minister were able to win the [Sishui Pass], [Jiepai Pass], [Chuanyunguan], [Tongguan], and [Lintong Pass] so smoothly this time, all because of the power of sir's magic weapon, otherwise Even if Prime Minister Tao surpasses others, he still cannot win the five levels so quickly." Although Ji Chang is ninety-eight years old, his mind is not confused and his thinking is extremely clear.
"No, no!!! My role in this is very small, and it's up to the Prime Minister and Young Master to command me. Even if I don't have my magic weapon, the Prime Minister's sect will come up with the same magic weapon.
So it doesn't matter much whether I am there or not. "Wang Ming doesn't follow Ji Chang's high hat at all. He usually gives people high hats and praises his abilities, which usually leads to trouble later.
Ji Chang started all kinds of flattery again, anyway, he just wanted to fool Wang Ming into floating up, and then fall into the trap unknowingly.
But after spending a lot of words, Wang Ming was like a non-stick pan, completely unaffected by his words, which made Ji Chang feel extremely aggrieved.
How could the emperor's art of controlling people, which he had learned since he was young, become so useless on the person in front of him?
The reason why Ji Chang was so eager to deceive Wang Ming was because he made a divination last night and found that Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya would suffer a bloody disaster.
Ji Chang immediately sent someone to inform Ji Fa not to continue marching and to delay his progress.
But Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya couldn't listen to Ji Chang's words at this time.
Ji Fa succeeded as a young man and took charge of the entire Xiqi. He could also feel the increasing power of "Emperor Ji Shi Jiang" at any time, which made him extremely obsessed now.
Cultivation is an extremely comfortable and happy thing. You can feel yourself getting stronger at any time. It is a hundred times happier than playing with women, so a large number of monks are single.
Jiang Ziya was also floating at this time.
He wasted half his life in Kunlun Mountain. He was cautious, endured rolling eyes, and endured ridicule for forty years. He endured it in order to become an immortal, but in the end what he waited for was his master's persuasion to quit.
If it weren't for his sworn brother Song Yiren when he returned to the mortal world, he might not be able to survive in the human world.
He married a wife, but ended up talking about her endlessly every day, all criticizing her for being useless, which made him feel aggrieved and depressed.
Even when he paid homage to the prime minister in Xiqi, he still felt guilty and uneasy because he could feel that Ji Chang and Ji Fa were not completely dependent on him.
Now he is no longer afraid of this. He is confident that at this speed, he can go to Chaoge to cook cattle and slaughter sheep and worship the gods in three months at most.
After such a feat is accomplished, who dares to say that he is not a hero!
Jiang Ziya and Ji Fa's loss of control immediately made Ji Chang understand that something was wrong. He had now completely delegated power and had no way to call them back.
So, dragging his weak body, he came to Wang Ming early in the morning.
Although Ji Chang's "Book of Changes" was also born out of innate Tai Chi and innate Bagua, its operating principle is completely consistent with the way of heaven. It is more of an integration of laws.
The sixty-four hexagrams are like the sixty-four formulas in mathematics.
Therefore, even if the world is in a period of calamity at this time, the big bosses in the sky can only calculate what has passed and what is happening now, and they must also be closely related to themselves.
It is completely impossible to predict the future.
But Ji Chang could calculate it accurately.
While Wang Ming and Ji Chang were still fighting, soldiers called from outside the courtyard gate.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation on the front line."
When Ji Chang heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he had a bad premonition. He immediately took the side report, and then read the content. His brain felt dizzy, and he fell to the ground on the spot, unconscious.
Wang Ming, who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and was extremely calm, could no longer sit still. He immediately got up and supplied Ji Chang with blood and energy, and threw all kinds of life-extending methods at him.
A busy meal finally stabilized his breath.
Finally, Wang Ming picked up the side newspaper on the ground and took a look, and immediately knew why he looked like this.
Ji Fa's previous battle made them drifting, and then they suffered a big loss in Mianchi City.
Mianchi City Guard Zhang Kui and his wife were extremely defiant and activated the unparalleled mode.
Zhang Kui, a man of few ruthless words, thought he wanted to kill Nangong Shi, the highest military commander in Xiqi, and then killed Huang Feihu and his family who had just surrendered.
This made Huang Tianhua, a disciple of Chanjiao, immediately angry. He went to take revenge with red eyes and was attacked by Zhang Kui's wife Gao Lanying. The jade unicorn fell on the spot and was captured alive by Zhang Kui.
Han Dulong and Xue Ehu who came to the rescue were killed on the spot.
Then they pursued Xiqi's army fiercely. Zhang Kui and his wife, who went crazy, almost slaughtered Xiqi's top generals, and even killed Jiang Ziya violently.
Finally, Ji Fa, who was furious, couldn't bear it anymore and took action himself to resist Zhang Kui and his wife.
But he was defeated like a mountain, and his soldiers were slaughtered crazily by the Yin and Shang army.
Fortunately, Yang Jian, Jin Zha, Muzha, Nezha and Wei Hu arrived in time.
Originally, they were just thrown here by their master to take credit, but in the end they happened to be of great help.
If they didn't come, even if Ji Fa would not be besieged and die, this battle would completely ruin Xiqi's qualifications for hegemony.
