The Only Heroes Under Heaven Are You and I

Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, was immediately taken aback.

To everyone's surprise, this incompetent ruler even criticized Marquis of the South E Chongyu.

It seems this tyrannical ruler has very high standards.

After thinking for a long time, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, spoke again.

Is North Marquis Chong Houhu considered a notable figure?

"He has commanded the North Sea for over a decade, and can be described as a highly capable and experienced warrior."

"When the Seventy-Two Feudal Lords of the North Sea rebelled, he led his troops to fight against it. Even if he didn't achieve great merit, he certainly put in a lot of effort and should be considered a notable figure."

Upon hearing these words, Ye Xuan revealed a cold smile.

"Chong Houhu? He's nothing but a piece of trash."

"The rebellion of the North Sea Seventy-Two Feudal Lords was easily defeated by him. What else could he be but a piece of trash? What's there to praise?"

"That guy is nothing but a coward; he's wasted all these years holding the title of Marquis of the North."

Upon hearing these words, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, broke out in a cold sweat.

What exactly does His Human Emperor mean by discussing so-called heroes with him here?

He brought up so many people, but His Human Emperor refuted them one by one.

So what exactly was this foolish ruler's intention? He really couldn't figure it out.

After a long while, he finally spoke again tentatively.

"There is a figure who can be considered a hero. His name is Jiang Hengchu, the Marquis of the East, who has ruled the land of Eastern Lu for more than ten years. Over the years, he has resisted the Eastern Yi tribes, and the extremely ferocious Eastern Yi Clan have always been suppressed by him."

"Besides, he also has a large number of soldiers and generals under his command. Wouldn't such a powerful figure be considered a hero?"

Marquis Ji Chang of the West, brought up the figure of Jiang Hengchu.

Jiang Hengchu can be considered a rival of the Marquis of the West.

The two, one in the east and one in the west, are evenly matched in strength.

If we say that Marquis Ji Chang of the West, was the strongest, then Marquis of the East Jiang Hengchu, would rank second.

In Ji Chang's eyes, this guy was indeed someone worth mentioning.

Ye Xuan glanced at Ji Chang, then revealed a faint smile.

"Although he is my father-in-law, I will not show him any favoritism; his abilities are mediocre at best."

"What's so praiseworthy about failing to conquer a mere Eastern Yi tribe over decades?"

"Such a Marquis of the East can hardly be considered a hero."

After saying this, Ye Xuan sneered inwardly.

Upon hearing these words, Ji Chang's expression turned even colder.

If even Marquis of the East Jiang Hengchu isn't considered a hero, then who else in this world can be considered a hero in the eyes of this tyrant?

He really didn't know who to talk to.

He really didn't know what to say anymore, so he could only ramble on.

"Cao Bao, the warlord of Caozhou, has governed Caozhou quite well. He can be described as a man of great talent and ambition. I wonder if His Majesty considers him a hero?"

Upon hearing these words, a look of disdain clearly appeared in Ye Xuan's eyes.

"Cao Bao? Who is he? Can he be called a hero?"

Looking at Ji Chang's utter disdain for Ye Xuan, I really don't know what to say.

"Kong Mingliang, the warlord of Xuzhou, is a man of Qiankun and exceptional wisdom. I wonder if he could be considered a hero?"

"This guy is nothing but a scheming, despicable person; how can he be considered a hero?"

"---------"

Marquis Ji Chang of the West, named so many people, but Ye Xuan rejected them all; he simply couldn't think of any other candidates.

After a long while, he finally shook his head.

"This old minister truly does not know who else can be called a hero."

He looked at Marquis Ji Chang of the West was shaking his head and sighing.

Ye Xuan, however, revealed a faint smile.

This guy is really good at pretending.

After pondering for a moment, he finally spoke.

"In the entire world, if we're talking about heroes, only you Marquis of the West, and I can truly be called heroes!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Chang felt as if struck by lightning, his whole body trembled violently, and he fell to the ground.

It took him a long time to get up.

"This old minister's eyesight is failing and his strength is failing; please forgive him, Your Majesty."

He never imagined that His Human Emperor the Emperor would say such a thing.

"Your Human Emperor is joking. How could Ji Chang be considered a hero?"

"He's nothing but a dying, white-haired wretch."

"Only Your Majesty is Zhenzhen hero in this world."

Marquis Ji Chang of the West, understood that His Human Emperor harbored murderous intent towards him.

They were trying to kill him; naturally, he was sweating profusely.

Looking at the slightly aged Marquis of the West, Ye Xuan had no intention of letting him go so easily.

This guy will be my rival in the future.

How could she possibly let him off so easily?

"It is said that Marquis of the West is proficient in divination, and that he can predict the life and death of others. I wonder if Marquis Ji Chang of the West would be so kind as to perform a divination today? Let me witness your abilities."

"Here's what you'll do: calculate how many years you have left to live."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chang was immediately taken aback.

Did this damned, incompetent ruler harbor such deep malice towards me?

Was he really planning to kill himself on the spot?

Marquis Ji Chang of the West took a deep breath.

"Your Human Emperor, divination requires certain special tools, and I did not bring any of them with me to Chaoge this time..."

"Without the tools, it's impossible to make plans; I'm truly disappointed in His Human Emperor!"

Upon hearing these words, Ye Xuan naturally revealed a cold smile.

"It is said that those skilled in calculation are adept at deduction and need no tools or objects; flowers, grass, rocks, and trees can all become their tools. Yet Lord Marquis Ji Chang of the West, keeps making excuses. Could it be that you are trying to deceive me?"

"I merely wanted to see your abilities. You've repeatedly entrusted me with this task; could it be that you harbor ulterior motives?"

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon a few pebbles on the ground.

"Let's use these pebbles to make the calculations. Rumor has it that the master's methods are quite formidable."

Hearing these words...

Ji Chang's face turned pale.

Just recently, he used these stones to calculate just how abundant the fortune of the Yin Shang Dynasty was.

Now these sacrilege have been kicked away by this tyrannical king. Come here, let him predict your fate.

It has to be said, it really is fate.

Ji Chang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It seems that this damned tyrant is indeed not someone to be trifled with.

Even I would have a hard time being a match for this guy.

At this moment, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, gradually looked rather grim.

"Using pebbles to calculate?"

"Then this old minister will give it a try. As for whether it will succeed, that remains to be seen."

As he spoke, he bent down and picked up all the pebbles from the ground.

He was well aware of his own fate.

Although he knew his fate was sealed, he still had at least ten years left.

Although he will face seven years in prison.

But after his seven-year prison sentence ended, there were still several good years ahead.

Although he appears to be in a rather down-on-his-luck state now, he will undoubtedly become the founding emperor of the Great Zhou.

At that time, he will enjoy eternal worship and incense offerings, naturally becoming a being of immeasurable merit.

After death, they will become a powerful and meritorious Yin Spirit.

One could say that death was his true liberation, but it was not death in the true sense of the word.

Therefore, asking him to predict his own life or death is of little significance.

He wasn't afraid of whether he would die, or when he would die.

However, he was already prepared and not afraid at all.

He picked up the food from the ground and then began his mysterious speech.

These languages were passed down to him by his mother.

The secret transmission of the Six-Yao Divination Technique.

These languages can form unique symbols to communicate with the Heavenly Dao, which will provide some guidance to them in an invisible Heavenly Dao.
