In Taiji Palace, Kong Xuan tore the space and appeared in the main hall with Immortal Tai Yi.
After sealing his magic power, Kong Xuan threw him onto the ground.
For a moment, Immortal Tai Yi looked miserable and didn't look like a sage-like man at all.
"Puff!"
After spurting out a mouthful of blood, Immortal Tai Yi's face turned pale.
However, the pride in his heart still supported him as he forced himself to stand up.
Looking at Emperor Xin who was sitting on the throne in a king's robe, Immortal Tai Yi took a deep breath and tried his best to look calm."I've met a human king!"
Watching Immortal Tai Yi bowing, Emperor Xin slightly curled his mouth corners.
"Is this the disciple of a Saint? He doesn't look like he has three heads and six arms?"
Di Xin said calmly, but it was hard to tell if he was mocking or joking.
Immortal Tai Yi felt humiliated. His chest heaved up and down violently. He couldn't help but open his mouth, wanting to say something.
However, he suddenly remembered that he was a fish on the chopping block. Therefore, he finally became silent.
Seeing this, Di Xin shook his head in disappointment." I thought you could give me a surprise. It seems that the disciple of a Saint is nothing much."”
After saying that, Di Xin ignored Immortal Tai Yi and turned to Kong Xuan.
"Take out all the treasures on him and lock him in the dungeon first.”
"Unless the Saint turns my palace upside down inch by inch, no one will be able to find him.”
Hearing Di Xin's order, Kong Xuan nodded silently.
Great Shang's dungeon was a secret place that was specially used to lock up Qi Refinement Warriors.
This was also one of the foundations left behind by Great Shang in the past six hundred years.
The entire dungeon was made of God Absorbing Stone, which was enough to isolate the divine sense of a Great Divine Art.
Even Saints couldn't easily penetrate the Soul-Absorbing Stone unless they searched carefully.
As Immortal Tai Yi was taken away by Kong Xuan, Di Xin couldn't help but look in the direction of Xiqi.
"Looking at the time, the invitation should have arrived. I wonder what you will choose.”
Muttering to himself, Di Xin smiled and lowered his head.
At this moment, the eight hundred vassals looked at the invitation cards on the table, and their expressions became uncertain.
This was especially true for the four great dukes.
The ones who were still alive were Marquis Nan Bo, E Chongyu, Marquis Bei Bo, Marquis Chong Hu, and Marquis Xi Bo, Ji Chang.
The moment they received the invitation, they all smelled the scent of a conspiracy.
The dukes were compared to the monarch within the vassal state, and no one was stupid.,
Previously, when Marquis Dong Bo died, they had already sensed that something was wrong. Now, Di Xin had organized a banquet and invited them to Zhaoge for a chat.
For a moment, Marquis Nan Bo and Marquis Bei Bo were caught in a dilemma.
It was hard to predict whether he would die if he went to Zhaoge, but if he didn't obey the imperial edict, he would definitely die.
They gathered their advisors and discussed for a long time, but they still could not come up with a good solution.
But in the end, the two dukes still decided to go to Zhaoge, hoping that they would be lucky. If Emperor Xin really only invited them to attend the birthday banquet, wouldn't they be asking for trouble if they went against the imperial edict?
Just as Marquis Nan Bo and Marquis Bei Bo were making their decision, Ji Chang was currently bathing and burning incense in his mansion in Xi Qi.
As the Marquis of the West who was known throughout Great Shang, Ji Chang had an ability that the other three dukes didn't have, the Acquired Eight Trigrams!
This hexagram could predict good or bad luck and fortune. It could be said to be very charming.
Thus, the moment he received the news, Ji Chang's first reaction was not to gather the ministers for a discussion, but to perform a divination.
In the study, Ji Chang calmed himself down and focused. Soon, his hands began to shake up and down. The shaking sound instantly filled the entire study.
A moment later, Ji Chang finished his calculations and the copper coins were thrown onto the table. Looking at the arrangement of the hexagrams, Ji Chang's expression darkened.
According to the original trajectory, his divination should have been a surprise but no danger.
But now, the divination on the copper plate was unpredictable.
For a moment, Ji Chang's mind could not help but go blank.
However, he was still a duke. Although the divination was dangerous, Ji Chang quickly suppressed his emotions.
Because he had no choice in this matter from the beginning.
Great Shang's strength was far from what a small Xi Qi could compare to.
As the founder of the dynasty who had plotted to seize Great Shang's machinery in the future, his thoughts were much deeper than those of ordinary dukes.
He was sure that if he refused, Xi Qi would face a calamity.
Just look at the past Marquis Dong Bo. Even though it was rumored that Marquis Dong Bo had been assassinated by Dongyi.
But back then, Ji Chang had divined that the killing intent came from Great Shang.
Therefore, even though he knew that this trip was fraught with danger, he still had to go there personally.
After making up his mind, Ji Chang immediately gathered his two sons.
Bo Yikao and Ji Fa!
Following the order, two young men entered Ji Chang's study.
One of them was wearing a green robe, and he looked like a gentleman. He was Ji Chang's eldest son, Bo Yikao.
One of them was wearing a red and yellow robe. He looked simple and honest, but a light flashed in the depths of his eyes from time to time.
He was Ji Chang's second son, the later King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa!
Looking at the two Di sons, the heavy expression on Ji Chang's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a satisfied expression.
After all, his two sons could be said to be dragons and phoenixes among men. No matter if it was their wisdom or methods, they were top-notch choices.
As a father, Ji Chang naturally had reason to be proud.
Ji Chang didn't waste any more time with them. After the two of them walked into the study, Ji Chang immediately handed the invitation to them.
Looking at the invitation card from Ji Chang, Bo Yikao and Ji Fa's eyes turned solemn.
Bo Yikao said with a heavy tone,""Father can't go!"
"This is clearly a trap. If father goes, he will be walking right into it.”
As soon as he said that, Ji Fa also agreed,"Big brother is right. Father is Xi Qi's pillar of stability, how can we take risks so easily?”
"How about I go to Zhaoge on behalf of my father?”
Before Ji Chang could say anything, Bo Yikao retorted,""No, I'm the eldest son of the family. Even if I have to go, it should be me.”
"I don't believe that Great Shang would dare to act in front of everyone.”
Ji Chang shook his head with a smile as he watched his two sons fight for the throne." Stop fighting. I have to go to Zhaoge this time. Otherwise, Xiqi will be in trouble."”
"After I leave, Bo Yikao will be in charge of supervising Xiqi, and Ji Fa will be in charge of assisting. We must stabilize the situation in Xiqi.”
"If we can come back from Zhaoge, Bo Yikao will be the next lord from now on.”
It was almost 100,000 words, so fast ~~
