Ji Chang, You Can Go Back Once You've Finished Eating
A mysterious smile appeared on Wushuang's face.
"This meat is extraordinary; it's rare even in the entire Primordial World. It's said that there are only a hundred of these meats, making it an extremely scarce treasure. Every one eaten reduces the supply. If consumed regularly, it will bring immense benefits to the Marquis!"
"Only a hundred?"
This tyrant is really willing to spend a fortune; he's given such rare and unusual things to eat. It's really strange.
He shook his head, picked up the pot of blood wine, poured himself a cup, and drank it down in one gulp.
Unexpectedly, this pot of blood wine had an extremely rich and mellow flavor, with another sweet and fragrant taste that lingered on the lips and teeth, making it irresistible.
Even the Marquis of the West, who had drunk countless cups of wine, had never tasted such sweet and fragrant wine before. He couldn't help but pour himself another cup and savor it carefully.
Watching Marquis of the West devour his Wushuang, Wushuang finally couldn't help but let out a mocking smile.
What would happen if this guy knew the truth?
The next moment, Wushuang sensed something and quickly turned around to bow.
"Owner!"
Sure enough, a figure appeared here.
This person was none other than Ye Xuan.
Ji Chang, who was enjoying his meal, was also taken aback and quickly swallowed the meat in his mouth before bowing down to Ye Xuan.
Looking at the Marquis of the West kneeling on the ground, Ye Xuan revealed a strange expression.
"My dear minister, please rise quickly. I've been quite worried about you here, so I took some time to come and see you. I wonder how you're doing?"
"Your Human Emperor, I am quite comfortable here."
Ye Xuan looked him over carefully and noticed that the guy had aged considerably.
The wrinkles on his face had deepened, resembling withered tree bark.
I'm relieved to see you doing well here; I was worried you wouldn't be used to it.
"Wushuang already explained the meat you just ate to you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Chang nodded.
"Your Majesty, Miss Wushuang has already introduced this meat to me. Wushuang said it's extremely rare even in Chaoge, with fewer than a hundred pieces available."
"Your Human Emperor is more than content to entertain this old minister with such delicacies."
"Less than a hundred?"
Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback, then nodded in agreement.
The number is indeed less than one hundred.
The number of guards brought by Bo Yikao was exactly ninety-odd, indeed less than a hundred.
I know you worry about Xiqi, and I know you want to go back to Xiqi.
"Alright, I'll give you a chance. If you agree and fulfill my requirements, I'll let you return to Xiqi. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of the West was taken aback.
This tyrannical ruler actually wants to let me go back early. If that's really the case, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Is Your Majesty truly speaking?
Seeing the hope in Marquis Ji Chang of the West's eyes, Ye Xuan smiled slightly.
There was a hint of mockery in his smile.
"I personally arranged some meat and blood wine for you, mainly to help you recover. After all, you are getting on in years, and it would be a pity if something happened to you in Chaoge."
"These meats are currently being processed outside, and are now being dried and cured. After you finish eating them, I will release you back to Xiqi. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, showed an expression of disbelief.
Who would have thought that this tyrannical ruler's request would be so simple?
Is it just about feeding him some meat?
After he finishes eating, can we let him go back to Xiqi?
It's just so weird no matter how you look at it.
This foolish emperor summoned me to Chaoge just to feast me on these incredibly delicious meats?
Seeing that this guy didn't believe him, Ye Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.
"As the saying goes, a ruler's word is his bond; how could I possibly deceive you?"
"Once you finish eating all this meat and recover your strength, I will let you return to Xiqi. I am counting on you to govern Xiqi well."
"These meats are drying in the courtyard outside. It must be said that Marquis of the West is truly blessed to enjoy himself here, not only with the company of a dim lamp, but also with such fine food and blood wine. How carefree and delightful he is!"
"Come on, why don't you come with me and see what I think of the wine pool and meat forest that I've built for you?"
Marquis Ji Chang of the West nodded in agreement.
He wanted to see just what kind of meat this tyrant had prepared for him.
It must be said that these meats were indeed quite delicious.
He had never tasted such delicious food before, and he wanted to see what it was.
The group quickly came out, and then there was a long corridor.
Ji Chang followed the Human Emperor through the corridor and saw many things hanging in the courtyard.
With just one glance, Marquis Ji Chang of the West, was greatly shaken, his body trembling uncontrollably.
What did he see?
At that moment, he was screaming wildly inside.
What did he see?
What I was seeing was one of the most tragic and horrifying scenes in the world.
At that moment, he felt a chill run through his body, as if his soul had been completely frozen.
The chill that ran through his body almost drove him to the brink of collapse.
The scene before my eyes was truly terrifying.
Or rather, it was simply unbelievable to him.
The huge courtyard was temporarily set up with many frames.
These shelves were covered with chains and iron hooks.
And hanging from the iron hooks were many disemboweled corpses.
The corpses were stripped naked and hung there to dry.
This scene is truly terrifying.
Even Marquis Ji Chang of the West, who had seen the world, was somewhat trembling with fear.
The scene before me was utterly hellish.
Nearly a hundred bodies were hung in the courtyard.
Marquis Ji Chang of the West, trembled with fear.
The tyrant said that of the flesh and blood he had previously consumed, there were less than a hundred.
Isn't that exactly what's in the courtyard?
Once I figured all this out, I completely broke down.
He immediately knelt down and began to vomit.
Unfortunately, the meat he had eaten had already been mostly digested, so he could only dry heave but couldn't vomit anything.
I never imagined that this damned, tyrannical ruler would be so ruthless.
The Marquis of the West recognized most of the eighty or ninety corpses.
These people were all guards of his eldest son Bo Yikao.
In other words, all of these people were killed by the Human Emperor.
Doesn't this mean his son is also in grave danger?
That damned, incompetent ruler—a tyrant—a villain, a scoundrel, a treacherous villain—
The Marquis of the West was internally struggling and roaring.
He simply couldn't control his murderous intent.
However, a last shred of reason allowed him to restrain himself.
Even with murderous intent surging, he could only stand there, unable to do anything.
"A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan."
"Ji Chang, you must remember this humiliation of today, and one day you will repay this foolish ruler a thousandfold!"
"This tyrant must be made to die a horrible death!"
"Ji Chang, you must endure this—"
Ji Chang stood there firmly, suppressing his urge to explode.
He felt his heart was bleeding, yet there was nothing he could do.
He felt immense sorrow at that moment.
My son Ji Kao ------
My son, Bo Yikao ------
Were you also killed by that damned, tyrannical ruler?
His eyes, now bloodshot, stared intently at the corpses before him, searching for his son.
Ye Xuan stood to the side, looking at Ji Chang with a gloomy expression.
