The next morning, when the first warm sun rose from the east, Ji Wuchen was already a hundred miles away. After a whole night of cultivation, he had mastered both the first stage of the Cloud Steps and the second stage of the Fuyao Steps.
At this moment, he was using Cloud Treading, and it was as fast as lightning. And when he used Fuyao, he could step into the air for a short period of time, like an immortal descending to the world.
It was truly like stepping into the clouds and becoming an immortal!
"This qinggong is truly godly.”
Ji Wuchen remembered that this was already the second time he had described this lightness skill. He felt an itch in his heart and used the Cloud-treading Wind-riding Steps to fly away.
At the gate of Handan, the capital of Zhao, a guard casually glanced at the sunlight and was suddenly stunned. Then, he pointed at the sky and stammered,"Immortal…Immortal has come to Handan of the State of Zhao.”
As soon as he said this, the other city guards looked in the direction he was pointing at. They saw a person wearing a white fox fur coat on a thin cloud in the air. He was calmly walking into the city as if he was taking a stroll.
This scene instantly caused a huge uproar. Along with the cries of surprise, the city gate guards, the early morning merchants, and the city residents all prostrated themselves on the ground and worshipped.
At this moment, the King of Zhao had also received the news. However, when he arrived at the city gate with his important officials, there was no one there.
Looking at the hundreds of people worshiping him, the Zhao King did not have any doubts. Otherwise, why would everyone be seeing things?
In his anguish, the King of Zhao ordered his men to beat the city gate guard who reported the news with thirty canes. Naturally, he blamed him for delaying the time to worship the immortal. However, even so, he still solemnly bowed in the direction of the crowd's worship before returning to the palace with waning interest.
At this moment, the internal supervisor came to report that Qin General Wang Jian wanted to see him. The King of Zhao suppressed the regret in his heart and said indifferently,"Announce!"
Wang Jian entered and bowed to the King of Zhao. He said,""Your Majesty, there are hundreds of people at the city gate today who saw Shangxian appear in the sky above Handan. It's really an auspicious day. Please allow my young master to return home.”
King Zhao did not reply. Instead, he asked,""General, hundreds of people in Handan are worshiping the immortals. Do you think immortals really exist in this world, or is someone deliberately playing tricks?”
"Before I entered the palace, I asked those who had witnessed it with their own eyes. They all admitted that it was true and that the description was vivid. I thought that the matter of the gods was recorded according to the facts and could not be speculated.”
The King of Zhao was stunned and nodded." Yes, General is right. We can only do this intentionally and not speculate."”
Wang Jian once again pleaded,"Please allow me to bring Young Master and his family back today."”
The King of Zhao glanced at Wang Jian and stroked his beard." We'll discuss this matter when Feng Chang, General Li Mu, and the others arrive. After all, returning to the country is not a small matter. There's no rush. You can go down first. I'll get someone to give you a few jars of the best Apricot Moon White in Zhao. That's a 30-year-old wine. It's definitely a rare wine in the world.”
"But…!"
Wang Jian wanted to fight for it, but he saw that the King of Zhao had already closed his eyes. Wang Jian felt somewhat helpless and could only leave the palace alone. Not long after, a long bearded and slightly plump person walked in.
"Feng Chang greets Your Majesty."
The King of Zhao opened his eyes and looked at the supervisor who was serving him with dissatisfaction. He then smiled and said,"Today is not a court meeting, why did Feng Qing come?”
"This official has been thinking about it these few days and feels that it is inappropriate for the Qin country's Gongzi Zheng and the others to stay in the Zhao country.”
The King of Zhao suddenly became spirited. The reason he rejected Wang Jian was because the officials in the court strongly opposed it, especially the High Official Feng Chang. His voice of opposition could flip the roof of the palace. He originally thought that this old fellow was bringing up the old matter again today, but he did not expect him to change the direction." Feng Qing, weren't you the one who opposed sending them back the most? Why did you change the direction?”
Feng Chang said,"The reason why I objected in the past was because I didn't consider the pros and cons. These few days, I've thought about it deeply. Detaining Young Master Zheng and the others is indeed a bargaining chip for our Zhao Country. At a critical moment, it will be very useful. However, the Qin Country is a country of tigers and wolves. From the time it was established until now, there have been many betrayals. After the Battle of Changping, our country urgently needs to recuperate. This hatred might not seem to be enough now, but it can't accumulate day by day. Otherwise, our Zhao will be in danger.”
He paused and continued," Moreover, the King of Qin has just inherited the throne and is in his prime. His harem will naturally not be empty. Zhao Zheng and his son are not the Crown Prince and were not born in Qin. The King of Qin might not love them very much. If the King of Qin favors the harem because of our detention and gets a male heir, it will be too late for us to release him by then.”
This is the fourth chapter. There are still four more chapters. I won't sleep until I finish writing.
