Hollow Jade Temple.
Jiang Ziya saw that Honored Lord of the Origin was reciting the Taoist scriptures, so he waited on the plate. This time, Honored Lord of the Origin did not let Jiang Ziya wait for long and quickly opened his eyes.
Jiang Ziya bowed.”
"What do you have to go to the Jade Mirage Palace for?" Honored Lord of the Origin nodded."Aren't you always focused on cultivating?"”
"Didn't Master say that the Investiture of the Gods is of great importance?" Jiang Ziya asked. Why don't I need to persuade Ji Chang?"
Honored Lord of the Origin said," I've given you such a long time, but you haven't completed this task. I've decided to let Shen Gongpao complete it. He's doing much better than you." Xi Qi was already preparing to rebel.”
Jiang Ziya was shocked." But Ji Chang is still in Zhaoge. Who will start the war?"”
"You don't have to worry about that," said Primordial Heaven Supreme.”
Jiang Ziya was dissatisfied. Shen Gongbao had always been at odds with him and always had some bad ideas behind others 'backs. It must be Shen Gongbao's fault that his master asked him to complete the Investiture of the Gods. No way!
"Master, this Shen Gongpao has evil intentions. We can't put him in an important position!" Jiang Ziya said again.”
Primordial Heaven Supreme looked at Jiang Ziya coldly."Why don't I give it to you? I asked you to persuade Ji Chang to go back to Xiqi, but in the end, you made Ji Chang decide to stay in Zhaoge. If Shen Gongpao didn't have a brain, you would have ruined my plan.”
"Also,"
Jiang Ziya was about to leave when he heard what Heavenly Lord Yuanshi said. He looked up at Heavenly Lord Yuanshi expectantly.
However, the Honored Lord of the Origin said," Return the God-beating Whip to me. This whip was originally given to you to help you complete the great cause of the Investiture of the Gods. Now that you're not going to attack the Shang Dynasty, this God-beating Whip will not be given to you."”
"Master, this…" Jiang Ziya was stunned.”
Honored Lord of the Origin took back the God-beating Whip from Jiang Ziya and wiped the mark Jiang Ziya left on it. He said,""You can go down the mountain."
Jiang Ziya had no choice but to go down the mountain. He knew that since the words of the Heavenly Lord of the Origin had been said, it would be difficult to change them.
After Jiang Ziya went down the mountain, he went to the bank of Wei River to fish. He was worried about how to make Ji Chang change his mind and return to Xiqi.
But now, he was worried about why his master would hand over the task of helping the Zhou Dynasty attack the Shang Dynasty to Shen Gongbao.
Thinking of the cold expression of the Heavenly Lord of the Origin in the Jade Mirage Palace and the God-beating Whip that had been withdrawn, Jiang Ziya felt that he was really at his wit's end.
Shen Gongbao had mocked him in the Jade Palace. How could he still want to cultivate at such an old age? What a dream!
Jiang Ziya used to be devoted to Taoism and naturally ignored Shen Gongpao. However, since he was sent down the mountain by his master to help the Zhou Dynasty conquer the Shang Dynasty, Jiang Ziya felt that his Taoist heart seemed to be covered with a layer of dust and was no longer as bright and impure as before.
If Shen Gongbao was here, he would definitely mock,""Jiang Ziya, you can't cultivate the Great Dao! Give up!"
Jiang Ziya sighed as he thought about his past while fishing.
He couldn't figure out why this was happening.
After Xi Qi destroyed the Fish Kingdom, the other unconvinced dukes all submitted, afraid that they would follow in the footsteps of the Fish Kingdom.
Ji Fa was even more ambitious. He felt that he was about to become a king!
And the matter of Xi Qi recruiting soldiers and buying horses was getting bigger and bigger!
He Feng, who was far away in Zhaoge, naturally heard the news. At that time, he was discussing with Bi Gan, Shang Rong, and the other important ministers how to make the lives of the commoners richer. When he learned about it, his face instantly darkened.
Shang Rong frowned." Is this a misunderstanding? I've seen Ji Fa before. His eyes are very clear. He doesn't look like someone who would rebel!"”
He Feng said," You can't judge a person's heart by their appearance. Tomorrow, I will summon Ji Chang and ask him. If Xi Qi really has the intention to rebel, my cavalry hasn't seen blood for a long time. It seems that Marquis Dong Bo from last time wasn't enough to intimidate us!”
"That's why there's such news!”
After He Feng calmed down, he said,"Uncle Bigan, do you have any suggestions?”
Bi Gan said,"This matter has not been confirmed yet. I think we will know when I summon Marquis of the West to court tomorrow."”
"We'll discuss this tomorrow." He Feng nodded. It's getting late. You two should go back and rest.”
Bi Gan and Shang Rong said in unison,"Yes, I will take my leave."”
On the second day.
He Feng sat on the dragon throne with a dignified expression. He Feng activated the pressure of a Human King. The officials below only felt that the king was like a god in the sky. They did not dare to lie in their hearts. He Feng looked at Ji Chang and said," Ji Chang, Ji Fa is currently working with the western vassals to recruit troops and expand his forces. I wonder if you know about this, or what Ji Fa's intentions are!”
Ji Chang's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
Ever since yesterday, Ji Chang felt as if there was a huge stone pressing down on his heart. Thus, he did a divination, and it showed that today was extremely dangerous.
Ji Chang wished he could stay at home for the entire day, so he decided to stay at home.
However, He Feng seemed to have known his thoughts in advance and sent someone to say,"If you are not feeling well, send the imperial physician over to treat you. But if you are healthy and do not come to court, then…”
Ji Chang had no choice but to attend court as usual.
As expected, when Ji Chang heard He Feng's words in the imperial court, he felt as if his heart was frozen in an ice cellar, and his lips turned pale.
He ran to the middle and knelt down. Moreover, I believe that my son Ji Fa will not do anything to raise an army! Your Majesty, please be wise!"
"Your Majesty, think carefully. As the Marquis of the West, I can't send troops in Zhaoge! Moreover, I am loyal to the king. The king knows that! I'm willing to use my head to guarantee that Ji Fa and I have the same heart! He is also loyal to the king!"
After hearing this, He Feng agreed in his heart. After all, the system had already confirmed that Ji Chang would not rebel. He Feng trusted the system's appraisal very much. Therefore, he did not doubt Ji Chang. But now, Xi Qi was really recruiting.
"Then what explanation do you have for Xi Qi's recruitment?" He Feng asked.”
" I've been in Zhaoge for a long time," Ji Chang said." I know very little about Xiqi. Why don't you let me ask you about it before I explain it to you?"”
Suddenly.
Ding…mission option released. Ji Chang's words.
[Option 1: Believe in Ji Chang. Reward: Increase your strength to Golden Immortal.]
[Option 2: Send an edict to Xiqi. Reward: A pill to calm one's mood.]
[Option 3: Send troops to attack Xiqi. Reward: Merit points 100
With a thought, He Feng's strength increased!
This was great. His strength was too low, which made He Feng feel that he was not confident enough. Although he had many magical treasures and the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Experience Card, it was not his own strength after all. He always felt uneasy. Now that there was another option to increase his strength, he would choose one and believe in Ji Chang.
After He Feng had made his decision, he looked at Ji Chang with a much more amiable gaze, not as murderous as before.
