Marquis Ji Chang of the West's Imprisonment
Bi Gan took a deep breath.
"The second option is to send you to the barren lands, where many places hide abundant resources that require extensive development."
"You are the chosen ones to reclaim the wasteland. As long as you are willing to reclaim the wasteland, it will be considered a contribution to the Yin Shang. Five years later, you will be freed from your status as slaves and become ordinary citizens of the Yin Shang Dynasty. You can live wherever you wish."
"The third option is to slaughter you on the spot. Those who do not wish to live can choose this third option."
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
To be honest, this is actually a pretty good opportunity.
Whether it's enlisting in the army or going elsewhere to reclaim wasteland, it's better than being a slave in Chaoge.
In an instant, many slaves began to make their own choices.
A large portion of the slaves naturally chose to clear land.
A small number of slaves chose to join the army.
Either option is good for them.
Bi Gan was, after all, a wise man with Seven-Orificed Exquisite Heart.
In the following period of time, the slaves were dealt with quickly.
The slaves in Chaoge City have basically all been dealt with.
The next step is to take advantage of this momentum and spread the word about this matter far and wide.
This gradually began to influence the global situation.
However, things that change the nature of society are not easy to do. You can't rush things, so we can only take it one step at a time.
At this moment, Ye Xuan had no intention of letting go of the so-called Marquis Ji Chang of the West, so easily.
Marquis Ji Chang of the West repeatedly targeted Chaoge.
First, they incited the North Sea Seventy-Two Feudal Lords to rebel.
Later, he instigated Su Hu of Jizhou to rebel.
Now they are secretly sending large numbers of slaves to Chaoge.
If we don't teach that guy a lesson, does he really think he's some kind of saint?
Since that guy in history was imprisoned for seven years.
So now Ye Xuan naturally wouldn't let him off the hook.
Soon after, an imperial edict was issued, departing from Chaoge and heading towards Xiqi.
This was also Ye Xuan's first time fighting that guy.
He wanted to see just what kind of tricks that guy had up his sleeve.
Marquis Ji Chang of the West of Xiqi, suddenly turned pale.
An immense force of heaven and earth descended upon him, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He clearly sensed that something bad was about to happen.
Marquis Ji Chang of the West, who was skilled in divination, quickly took out his divination tools and began to perform divination.
As the saying goes, a series of actions as fierce as a tiger.
The final result was 250.
The moment the divination was performed, his face turned extremely ugly.
It's obvious that this is not a good sign; in fact, it could be described as a very bad omen.
This foreshadows at least seven years in prison for him.
It is even quite possible that they will perish completely as a result.
After calculating this result, Ji Chang's face gradually darkened.
His gaze was fixed on the distant Chaoge.
His gaze became incredibly complex.
The fortunes of Chaoge had already become extremely weak.
It could even be completely extinguished at any moment, but Xiqi's fortune is like a dragon.
If things had followed the normal trajectory, the entire Yin Shang dynasty would likely have fallen to Xiqi.
As the ruler of Xiqi, and the future leader of the world.
He had naturally made many preparations in secret.
He deliberately instigated the rebellions of many feudal lords.
However, unexpectedly, the one in Chaoge seemed to possess unfathomable abilities.
This not only revived the fortunes of the Yin Shang dynasties, but also brought them back to their peak.
That guy also caused quite a stir in Chaoge, and it's said that he even personally guided the emergence of a Human Dao Saint.
This Human Clan its first and only Saint.
After all these changes, the fortunes of Xiqi seemed rather petty.
This period has been causing him a lot of headaches.
Now, I've actually encountered the worst possible outcome.
Could it be that guy from Chaoge is planning to harm me?
For the next few days, Ji Chang remained restless.
Sure enough, a few days later, the envoy from Chaoge arrived in Xiqi.
And it also brought His Majesty's decree.
His Majesty's decree was stated clearly and plainly.
It is said that they admired the talent of the Marquis of the West were particularly envious of his ability to govern the world.
Therefore, the Marquis of the West was specially invited.
Send the Marquis of the West to Chaoge so that His Majesty may consult him in person on matters concerning the governance of the realm.
When Ji Chang learned of the Human Emperor's decree, he instantly understood the meaning of the divination he had performed.
The imprisonment he predicted clearly meant that the imprisonment would occur in Chaoge.
Because some of the things he did had clearly attracted the attention of His Human Emperor the Emperor.
It is likely that His Human Emperor was wary of him, which is why he invited him to Chaoge.
Having thought these things through, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, couldn't help but sigh.
What was bound to happen has finally happened.
He then ordered lavish gifts to be prepared, and once everything was ready, he summoned many ministers.
Ji Fa, Bo Yikao, and others were also summoned by him.
As many ministers from Xiqi gathered there.
Xibo and Ji Chang sighed.
He turned to look at San Yisheng.
After all, he was the person Ji Chang trusted most.
"To be honest, my journey here is fraught with danger; I won't be back for at least a short time. I entrust any matters within Xiqi to you."
"If you have any doubts, you can discuss them with Xin Jia, Nangong Shi, and others."
Hearing this, San Yisheng was also taken aback.
Why would you say such things, my lord?
"Is there some hidden agenda behind this trip to Chaoge?"
Marquis Ji Chang of the West, had a cold expression.
His gaze held a faint, cold glint.
"A few days ago, I consulted a divination master for myself, and the result was that I would face seven years in prison. I never expected that the envoy from Chaoge would arrive in Xiqi so soon."
"That's why I decided to make this trip; if I go to Chaoge, I might not be able to return for a short time."
Many ministers, including San Yisheng, were immediately taken aback.
"Such a thing actually happened?"
"In that case, this journey will likely be fraught with peril. Your Majesty, it's best not to go. That tyrannical ruler now has some tricks up his sleeve that could be detrimental to you—"
Many people began to offer advice.
Your journey, my lord, may indeed be fraught with peril.
However, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, shook his head.
"We must go to Chaoge no matter what, even if that foolish emperor suspects something is amiss."
"But you can rest assured, I won't be in any danger on my trip to Chaoge."
"Just proceed with everything in Xiqi as planned. We must stockpile grain and warhorses, actively build up our military equipment, and secretly train soldiers. I estimate that by the time I return, it will be time for us to rise to power."
As he spoke, his gaze turned to the distant east.
His gaze was deep; he had already figured out the path Xiqi should take next.
When he returns, that will be the time to start a rebellion.
After thinking for a moment, he called his eldest son Bo Yikao, up to him.
