Xi Qi City.
Inside the study filled with a vast number of bamboo slips, the glow of the setting sun slanted in through the window, spilling over the figure seated behind the desk.
Ji Fa looked at the report sent up from below, his heart easing slightly.
Seven years ago, he had originally wanted to raise an army to attack Xi Qi.
The troops and horses move before food and forage do, yet while preparing the provisions, he suddenly discovered that his nation's treasury was empty.
Not only was the treasury empty, but the fields were empty as well, not a single grain of food remaining. That very instant caused Ji Fa's heart to panic completely.
At the same time, regarding that enemy King Zhou, for the first time ever, a chill arose in his heart.
Unawares, he had been tightly manipulated by King Zhou.
Just as he decided to burn his boats, immediately mobilize the nation's entire strength, and coordinate with the ability of the Spatial Sling Ring to launch a blitzkrieg surprise attack on Chaoge City.
Yang Jian arrived at Xi Qi.
Because of Yang Jian's arrival, new hope was given to Ji Fa, causing that determination of Jade and Stone in Flames to scatter.
Yang Jian truly did not live up to his expectations, inviting Huanglong Zhenren to Xi Qi.
Under the help of Huanglong Zhenren in Xi Qi, Xi Qi's agriculture burst with vitality once more.
After several years of farming, Xi Qi finally shook off the crisis of potentially being cut off from food at any moment.
Ji Fa looked at the red setting sun at the edge of the sky, his gaze hazy as he muttered to himself, King Zhou, you surely didn't expect this!
