Ji Chang Sets Out for His Appointment

"To be honest, this trip to Chaoge won't be life-threatening, but it will be tough, and I might even face a few years in prison. The affairs of Xiqi are now in your hands."

"Furthermore, you are also responsible for the care of your brothers and sisters. You must always remember to set a good example and never arbitrarily change the policies of Xiqi."

"Everything must follow the established rules and laws. You must ensure harmony among brothers and peace between ruler and subject. Do not indulge in lust for women, lest it jeopardize important matters. Do you understand?"

Marquis Ji Chang of the West, sternly instructed his eldest son.

He was very dissatisfied with his eldest son Bo Yikao, for being lecherous.

This is also where he always strictly disciplined Bo Yikao.

Hearing his father's words.

Bo Yikao were filled with tears.

Without his father, he felt as if he had lost his pillar of support, leaving him somewhat bewildered and lost.

Marquis Ji Chang of the West clearly sensed his son's worries.

He couldn't help but sigh deeply, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"If you have any doubts, you can consult those senior physicians; each of them possesses the ability to pacify the world."

"With them around, Xiqi will be able to develop well. You must also take good care of the people of Xiqi."

"You must give money and food to the common people who can't get enough to eat; you must ensure that those who can't find wives can get married; and you must also ensure that some ugly girls who can't get married can find husbands."

"Only in this way can we win the hearts of the people, and this is of paramount importance in gaining a good reputation."

"This trip to Chaoge will undoubtedly be arduous, but without news from me, Xiqi must absolutely not send anyone to Chaoge. Do you understand?"

"If you dare to go to Chaoge without permission, it will surely be a disaster. As the eldest brother, you must set an example for your brothers and never act recklessly, do you hear me?"

Bo Yikao's eyes turned red.

Hearing his father's instructions, he nodded firmly.

However, he revealed hatred towards that damned Human Emperor.

It's all that damn guy's fault.

He actually considered imprisoning his own father.

That's absolutely despicable.

Marquis Ji Chang of the West, also sighed.

"Also, you must take good care of your brothers and sisters. As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father. They will rely on you when I'm not around, so you must keep a close eye on them."

"Furthermore, you must take good care of your younger brother, Ji Fa. Although he particularly enjoys making friends, you must be mindful of the character of his friends and prevent him from causing trouble and ruining the fortunes of Xiqi."

"This is my ordeal, and also your test. I hope you can pass this test, and in the future, Xiqi will be..."

At this point, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, did not continue.

Instead, he looked up at the sky and sighed, his gaze somewhat unfocused.

It seems that his ambition to seize power is proving to be quite difficult.

Whether it's luck or other aspects.

Xiqi is still far behind.

Even if a forced announcement is made, it will likely become extremely difficult.

I hope this is my final suffering.

At this moment, many of Xiqi's ministers also knelt down on the ground.

We will certainly not fail in our lord's trust.

Marquis Ji Chang of the West nodded.

Finally, he went to the inner palace to bid farewell to his elderly mother.

His elderly mother Taijiang, was already in her eighties.

However, he was extremely knowledgeable.

He learned his Six-Yao Divination Technique from his mother.

After bidding farewell to their mother, the group finally set off.

The crowd saw them off at the ten-mile-long pavilion.

The four sages present were Grand Master San Yisheng, General Nangong Shi, Duke of Bi, Duke of Shao, Duke of Zhou Dan, and Mao Gongsui.

In addition to these, there were the Eight Steeds of Xiqi and dozens of princes.

In some respects, it is indeed evident that Xiqi was rich in talented individuals.

These talents alone are almost enough to put them on par with Chaoge.

This is enough to show that Xiqi was ambitious.

He watched as Marquis Ji Chang of the West, departed into the distance.

Bo Yikao's eyes turned red.

"If Father does not return in seven years, your son will surely lead a large army to capture Chaoge and rescue you from this dire situation."

Bo Yikao swore an oath with his life on the line.

I looked up at the sky.

However, above Xiqi, the aura remained strong.

A faint golden light shimmered within.

This means that the Heavenly Dao is indeed on the side of Xiqi.

Ji Chang naturally observed this as well.

As the saying goes, Heavenly Dao is on the side of Xiqi's fortune can indeed be described as endless.

Although it seems small compared to the unknown destiny of Chaoge, it is not insignificant in terms of scale.

This was one of the main reasons why Ji Chang dared to go to Chaoge.

Ji Chang's team.

It can be described as a massive operation.

The entire force consisted of cavalry, totaling three to four thousand men.

In the very center of the procession were hundreds of horse-drawn carriages.

The carriage was loaded with money and valuables used for bribery.

He must bring sufficient sincerity with him on this trip to Chaoge.

Only in this way will someone be willing to speak up for him.

Otherwise, this trip to Chaoge might truly turn into an incredibly difficult ordeal.

This time, I brought quite a lot of valuables, which was actually a way of saying I was spending money to avoid further trouble.

This team set off in an orderly manner.

Within a few days, they had left the Mount Qi area and entered another mountain range, the Mount Yan.

The Mount Yan are also a vast mountainous region.

It is in no way inferior to Mount Qi.

Once they leave the Mount Yan Mountains, they will be able to enter the true territory controlled by the Yin Shang.

The team has been operating within the Mount Yan area for several days.

On this day, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, who was in a bad mood, got off his carriage.

I looked at the sky and found it to be dark and somewhat oppressive.

Marquis Ji Chang of the West, also looked rather unpleasant.

"Send someone to check if there are any villages or large mountain lodges nearby, anywhere that can provide shelter from the rain. It looks like it's going to rain soon, so everyone should prepare in advance."

The attendants were somewhat surprised to hear this.

Is it really going to rain?

Although the sky was somewhat dark, there were no clouds in sight, and no sign of rain.

Although the people were puzzled, they could only do as Marquis Ji Chang of the West, had said.

After scouting ahead, they discovered a dense forest.

That's a great place to take shelter from the rain.

The team had just settled in.

The next moment, dark clouds rolled in.

It was a dark, oppressive mass, like a dark cloud looming over the city.

Is it really going to rain?

The soldiers' expressions changed drastically.

Your prediction was entirely correct.

It's quite surprising that it rained so suddenly.

A moment later, a howling cold wind began to blow.

In an instant, a torrential downpour began.

It started as a light drizzle.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a torrential downpour.

The wind howled and the rain poured down; even though the team was hidden in the woods, they still felt somewhat disheveled.

Such torrential rain is clearly not something that ordinary forests can withstand.

In an instant, everyone was soaked to the bone.

Sitting in the sedan chair Marquis Ji Chang of the West, was lost in thought about Chaoge.
