Outside Chongzhou City.
The sun sets.
Without several heavy rains on the tragic battlefield, it would be difficult to wash away the blood and remains.
Ji Chang looked at the sturdy old man who was several feet tall in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know what words to use to describe it.
Why can strength and old age be combined so strangely?
Not only Ji Chang, but also the Xiqi army were frightened by the shocking appearance of this sturdy old man, and even ignored the Chonghou Tiger on the old man's shoulder.
"Ahem."
Chonghou Hu snorted coldly, jumped down, held his helmet, and stood in front of Ji Chang.
"Ji Chang has met Bei Bohou."
Ji Chang's face immediately put on a smile, he cupped his fists and bowed his waist in a salute.
"Change comes late, so don't blame the wise man."
After Ji Chang finished speaking, his heart suddenly tightened when he saw Bei Bohou's expression unchanged.
The current atmosphere reminded him of the situation when Huang Feihu Xiqi announced the decree.
As expected, Chonghou Hu did not return the gift, but said coldly again.
"Xibo Hou Jichang, do you know your guilt?"
Before Ji Chang could say anything, Nangong Shi beside him was already angry. The general's bloody nature made him blurt out:
"Master Hou! My lord traveled thousands of miles across the world to come to Chongzhou to quell the rebellion and relieve the crisis in Chongzhou."
"It's a good intention. It's fine if the Marquis doesn't accept it. Why are you so rude to my Lord!"
Chong Houhu raised his head and gave him a cold look.
A deep crisis suddenly arose in Nangong Shi's heart. He subconsciously jumped on his horse and ran away. Sure enough, he saw a dark fist roaring from the air, smashing the horse into a pulp and smashing it into the ground!
Blood spattered for dozens of feet, and Sergeant Xiqi was all covered in it.
They saw the cracked fist mark on the ground that spread dozens of feet, and everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Ji Chang glanced at Nangong Shi and saw that he was still alive. He turned around, looked at Chonghou Hu, and said lightly:
"General Chong, you and I are both one of the four princes. What crime do I need you to question?"
"Even if our Xiqi army arrives a step later, it can only be attributed to the long distance. Your Majesty will not be able to cure my sins."
After Ji Chang finished speaking, he only received a sneer from Chonghou Hu in response.
Chonghou Hu waved his hand, and the Chongzhou soldiers who had already surrounded Xiqi's army raised the Chong clan sword in their hands, sending a chill through Chongshan.
He stared at Ji Chang and said:
"The rebels attacked Chongzhou City, but I was blocked outside Chongzhou City for several days."
"Yesterday the rebels knew they could not conquer Chongzhou and the official road was impassable, so they passed through Chongshan and went straight south to Chaoge."
"This is the only way to go."
"Xi Bohou, do you dare to say that you have not encountered any rebels?"
After hearing this, Ji Chang's heart suddenly shook, and an extremely ridiculous idea suddenly came to his mind.
"not good!"
"The purpose of intercepting our rebels is not to delay me from going north, but to prevent me from discovering their army heading south!"
Chonghou Hu said calmly:
"It seems that Xibohou has realized his sin."
He jumped on Wu Chong's shoulder, looked at Sergeant Xiqi, and said loudly:
"Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, was ordered to go north to quell the rebellion. He met the rebels on the way. He didn't know how to stop them. Instead, he accelerated his march north, which delayed the military situation and caused the people of China to be ravaged by the rebels!"
"Today, I will share the worries of your Majesty. I will capture Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, and escort him back to Chaoge to wait for your Majesty's fate!"
"You, the generals and soldiers, are just waiting for the general's orders, and you have committed no sin."
"Whoever dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!"
After Chonghou Hu finished speaking, only the mountain wind whistled past Chongshan Mountain.
Nangong Shi and Ji Dan were the first to protect Ji Chang, glared angrily, and roared:
"Who dares to hurt my lord (father)!!"
The Xiqi army was completely angered by Chonghou Hu's words. Not only were they filled with anger, they were also filled with decadence, exhaustion, and despair!
What's going on?
They rushed to Beihai to quell the rebellion at starry night. They encountered many ambushes on the way, but they did not delay their journey, just to rush to Chongzhou.
Why!
Why were they not greeted by the fine wine and meat of the Chongzhou Army, but by the Chong clan's battle flag and sword!
They are not willing to give in!
"I, Xiqi, can be killed but not humiliated!"
"Lord, fight them!"
"Who dares to hurt my lord!"
Chonghou Hu felt the killing intent coming towards his face and just smiled faintly.
This kind of scene is far worse than the ferocious beast slaughtering the city.
He didn't even have any mood swings.
Chonghouhu raised the Chong clan sword in his hand and spoke calmly.
"In that case, let's have a fight."
"Let's see if thousands of years later, the descendants of Hou Ji, the three most trusted men of King Yu, can beat the descendants of King Yu."
Chong Houhu's voice fell, and the Chong clan's war drums sounded all over the mountains and plains. The sound of fighting resounded across the sky, making Ji Chang's expression change.
Ji Chang raised his head and asked:
"Can I ask, why?"
Chonghou Hu glanced at Ji Chang quietly and said:
"The fourth son of the Marquis once said that when the phoenix sings to Xiqi, a wise man will appear in the west."
Ji Chang's eyes changed and he looked at Ji Dan.
Ji Dan's face turned pale and he murmured:
"No, it's impossible."
"I haven't said anything yet..."
Immediately, Ji Dan looked at Chonghou Hu, gritted his teeth and asked:
"Did you send someone to impersonate the immortal?"
Chonghou Hu frowned and said: "What immortal? These are the king's original words."
Ji Chang's expression was uncertain, then he let out a long sigh and said:
"Chang lost."
"I am convinced that I have lost."
His figure had aged for several years. The tall old man bent down. He weakly raised his hand and said:
"Chang Renren will go with you and let one of my 100,000 soldiers in Xiqi live."
After Ji Chang finished speaking, Nangong Shi and Ji Dan knelt down and hugged his legs. Ji Fa also staggered out of the car and shouted to his father.
The Xiqi army was even more indignant and wanted to fight to the death for Ji Chang and the Chongzhou army!
Ji Chang's voice was decisive, and his old voice spread throughout the mountains:
"Everyone go back."
"Have you forgotten what I said just now?"
"I am only in danger of being imprisoned, but not in danger of my life."
"Don't you believe my innate gossip?"
The army's anger immediately subsided.
Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, met an immortal when he was young, and was given an innate tortoise shell. He understood the innate gossip of the Holy Emperor Fuxi, measured yin and yang, and divined fate, and everything was accurate.
Nangong Shi looked at Xiqi's army with a depressed expression.
After traveling thousands of miles and being attacked many times, their energy has reached its limit.
Even though they were full of anger at this time, they could not defeat the energetic Chongzhou army.
not to mention.
There was also a giant mountain man in front of him who could sail on land. He was most likely a mysterious Qi practitioner from three mountains and five mountains.
With him around, it would be difficult for Ji Chang and the two young masters to escape even if they had the Qixiang chariot.
Nangong Shi sighed.
Now it seems.
From the moment they left Xiqi, they were already fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
Nangong Shi was disheartened and knew he had to calm down at this time. He dropped the sword in his hand and said:
"All officers and men obey the order and put down their weapons."
"No resistance..."
The soldiers of Xiqi knew they had no choice but to accept the order, and there was a sound of soldiers falling to the ground in Chongzhou.
Seeing this, Chonghou Hu said calmly:
"Xi Bohou, come with me."
"The king said, Xiqi's army will go back and forth from wherever it comes."
Ji Chang sighed, allowed two Chongzhou soldiers to put wooden shackles on him, and disappeared step by step from the sight of the Xiqi soldiers.
Suddenly there were cries of mourning.
When Ji Dan saw Ji Chang's figure disappearing from the gate of Chongzhou City, his eyes were full of hatred. He clenched his fists, bit his fingers, cut off his robe and sleeves, and drew a portrait!
The portrait shows a Taoist man. He is holding a flower basket in his left hand and a whisk in his right hand. He is wearing a green gauze scarf and a wide robe with big sleeves, as if he is coming from the clouds.
After Ji Dan finished painting, he said fiercely:
"You dare to plot against me and put my father in jail!"
"I, Ji Dan, are at odds with you!"
Nangong Shi frowned at the Taoist in the portrait and asked:
"Fourth Young Master, who is this and what has he done?"
Ji Dan gritted his teeth:
"He called himself Yunzhongzi of Yuzhudong in Zhongnan Mountain, and said that this time Beihai suppresses the rebellion and Xiqi will win a great victory."
"He gave me a piece of information and asked me to take advantage of the situation and spread it to the world, which can help Xiqi prosper."
Nangong Shi's eyes were shocked, thinking of Chonghou Hu's words, he murmured to himself:
"When the phoenix sings to Xiqi, a wise man emerges from the west?"
Ji Dan nodded and said with a grudge:
"I have never told anyone this revelation, why would the king know about it!"
"This is all a calculation!"
Nangong Shi was furious, summoned the army painter, and ordered:
"Spread this painting throughout the army!"
"This person is the real culprit who framed the lord!"
Nangong Shi said this, and with full of anger, he helped Ji Fa, who was crying bitterly, into the Qixiang Car.
The Xiqi army sadly changed its direction and headed towards Xiqi with full of homesickness.
…
Yuzhu Cave in Zhongnan Mountain.
Yun Zhongzi carried the basket of water and sparks and came to a mountain stream.
In the mountain stream, there is the gurgling sound of water, faint thunder, and the sound of wind. There are also foxes and rabbits coming and going, deer and cranes are chirping, and there are countless fairy grass and Ganoderma lucidum.
In such a wonderful scene, there is a green apricot tree that is completely different from all the spiritual roots around it. The aura around it is very different from everything in the world.
This tree seems to have been born from heaven and earth, with two red apricots faintly visible under the green leaves.
Thunder jumped on a red apricot, sometimes rising into the sky, and thunder filled the world.
A red apricot seems to be swallowing the wind of heaven and earth, and the strong wind sweeps in all directions.
Yun Zhongzi nodded with satisfaction and said:
"After waiting for three thousand years, the two immortal apricots have finally matured."
"There is still one more to go among the hundred sons of Ji Chang. Pindao and that Xi Bohou must be acquainted with each other."
"Disciple, disciple, I will keep this innate spiritual fruit for you."
