Shen Gongpao used a Taoist spell to separate his head from his body. He held his head in his hand and said,"How is it? This Penniless Priest only used a little trick. There are some other powerful ones that I won't show you one by one.”
Second Young Master Ji was surprised that Shen Gongpao could still speak even after his head was separated from his body.
Ji Fa knew that there were many capable people in the Shang Dynasty. When they attacked Dongyi last time, Li Jing had summoned water to drown the Dongyi soldiers, which made Ji Fa very afraid. He couldn't help but ask himself, if Xi Qi also raised an army, could they resist Li Jing's spell?
Ji Fa thought, If this Shen Gongpao is really that powerful, then wouldn't it be much more likely for me to attack the Shang Dynasty?
Her thoughts had already spun in her mind several times.
Shen Gongbao retracted his divine power and smiled indifferently."How is it? This spell of mine can only be said to be a small skill. I haven't used the truly powerful one yet.”
Seeing Ji Fa's passionate gaze, Shen Gongbao laughed in his heart. The fish had taken the bait!
Ji Fa waved his hand to dismiss the soldiers and bowed respectfully."May I ask your name, Daoist Priest?"
Shen Gongpao put his hands behind his back and pretended to be an expert."I'm Shen Gongbao. It seems that Second Young Master Ji has already made his decision.”
Ji Fa said solemnly," Daoist Priest Shen, you might not know this, but this Di Xin is a fatuous man. Not only did he detain my father, but he also killed my brother. If I don't take revenge, I, Ji Fa, will act recklessly!"”
"But there are too many talented people in the Shang Dynasty. Although Ji Fa has the heart to take revenge, he doesn't have the strength to do so. Coincidentally, Taoist Master Shen came to Xi Qi. If Taoist Priest Shen can really help me with my great cause, I will respect Taoist Priest Shen as the national teacher!”
State Preceptor, not bad, not bad.
Shen Gongbao was very satisfied with Ji Fa's honesty. He had always cared about these titles. Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to sow discord between Jiang Ziya and Honored Lord of the Origin in front of him. Firstly, he couldn't bear to see Jiang Ziya doing well. Secondly, if Jiang Ziya's status rose, no one would be able to see him anymore!
With this in mind, Shen Gongbao spared no effort to smear Jiang Ziya's image.
After all, if he could speak in front of Primordial Heaven Supreme, it meant that his status would rise a lot.
Shen Gongbao pretended to be profound and said,"Don't worry. With my help, you will definitely achieve great things!"”
The advisors felt uneasy when they saw Ji Fa trust Shen Gongbao so easily. This Taoist priest seemed to have gained Second Young Master Ji's trust.
Although Shen Gongpao was quite capable, he looked like he was up to no good. However, the advisors knew that they couldn't persuade him when they saw Ji Fa's excitement.
Moreover, Marquis of the West was not in Xi Qi, so Ji Fa was in charge of Xi Qi. Seeing that Ji Fa had made up his mind, he could only continue.
Rebellion naturally required the recruitment of troops.
In the past few years, Xi Qi's development had been extremely fast, so the recruitment of soldiers and horses naturally went smoothly. The other dukes in the west had a hard time.
Although the western vassals respected the Marquis of the West, no one could guarantee what they would think when it came to rebellion. Therefore, Ji Fa went to ask Shen Gongpao how to resolve it.
Shen Gongbao said sinisterly,"In this world, strength is the most important thing. If you agree to submit, then forget it." If they don't agree, then we'll use them as stepping stones for us to attack Shang and show them our strength.”
"Are you saying that if you don't agree, we'll use force to suppress you?" Ji Fa asked carefully. But is this..."
"Those who achieve great things do not care about trifles!" Shen Gongbao said. If Second Young Master wanted to attack the Shang Dynasty, he had to harden his heart and not be distracted by other small matters.”
"Taoist Master Shen is right," Ji Fa suddenly understood.”
Ji Fa thought that since they were both western dukes, it would be fine if Shen Gongpao didn't want to. But after hearing Shen Gongpao's words, he was enlightened.
That's right!
If they didn't submit, they would kill them directly!
Those who achieved great things did not care about trifles!
Thus, he sent people to their respective territories and announced to the small dukes," I'm going to attack the Shang Dynasty. If you agree, submit to me. If you don't agree, I'll send troops to attack you.
Although it was simple and crude, it was still very effective!
Some dukes who were afraid of death directly sent letters of surrender to Xi Qi, but some dukes didn't want to participate.
Among them, the Fish Kingdom reacted the most strongly and directly killed the envoy sent by Ji Fa.
When Ji Fa heard this news, his face turned red with anger.”
"Second brother, I'll lead the troops to kill this Marquis of the Fish Kingdom.”Ji Gongdan replied.
Ji Gongdan was Ji Chang's fourth son. He had boundless strength and could be said to have the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear! Because he was born with infinite strength, Ji Chang made him a general and made many contributions to Xi Qi.
After Ji Gongdan heard this, he said," Alright, Gongdan accepts the order. I'll bring Marquis Fish's head to you, second brother. You'll see some blood for us!"”
"Be careful, Fourth Brother." Ji Fa nodded.”
Ji Gongdan led his troops and set off. Marquis Yu naturally heard that Ji Fa had sent Ji Gongdan to attack the Fish Kingdom. However, he wanted to, but he was powerless. He could not resist Ji Gongdan's bravery, so the entire Fish Kingdom was destroyed.
Ji Fa received the news from the front line and clapped his hands."As expected of a public star, good! This is the first step in our crusade against the Shang Dynasty! I want all the people in the world to submit to me.”
"I want to make Di Xin regret imprisoning my father and killing my brother!”
Ji Fa stood on the city wall and looked at the land in the distance. He said with ambition,"I want this land to be filled with Zhou's flags!”
Shen Gongbao appeared behind Ji Fa and said,""There's one more thing to remind Young Master Ji.”
"What is it?" Ji Fa asked.
"Chaoge must have sent someone to Xiqi. If they know, they'll alert the enemy!”Shen Gongbao reminded.
Ji Fa fell into deep thought,[Yeah, if Di Xin finds out that we're going to rebel, we'll be finished before we're ready!]
" But don't worry, Master Ji," Shen Gongbao said." I'll take care of Chaoge's people for you."”
"Thank you, Taoist Priest Shen. With Taoist Priest Shen in Xi Qi, it's like adding wings to a tiger!" Ji Fa is extremely grateful."
"Second Young Master, don't forget your promise," Shen Gongbao said with a smile.”
"Of course. If I succeed, Taoist Priest Shen will be the Imperial Advisor of the Zhou Dynasty!" Ji Fa laughed.”
Shen Gongpao cast a spell in satisfaction and left.
That night, several ministers of Xiqi died mysteriously. The ministers wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly. Ji Fa knew that it was Shen Gongbao who did it, so he suppressed this matter.
On the other side, Jiang Ziya had also received news from Heavenly Lord Yuanshi that he did not need to instigate Ji Chang to defect.
Jiang Ziya was puzzled and immediately went to the Jade Mirage Palace to look for Heavenly Lord Yuanshi.
