The Marquis of the West Hits a Wall

Seeing this, Ji Chang couldn't help but shed tears. He was finally experiencing this feeling again, which made him feel as if he had been through another world.

Then he thought of his eldest son Bo Yikao.

Tears were already streaming down his face.

The eldest son traveled a great distance to Chaoge to rescue him, but he was imprisoned by the Human Emperor Chaoge.

He had even eaten his own flesh alive; how could he not feel terrible about that?

Looking at Ji Fa, so full of vigor, and then thinking of Bo Yikao, who died in Chaoge.

The son in front of her didn't seem so likable anymore.

Although Bo Yikao somewhat foolish, he was clearly extremely filial, judging from his heart.

His son, Bo Yikao, was also unique.

Thinking of this, he was filled with rage. He stepped forward and kicked Ji Fa, sending Ji Fa flying several meters away.

Everyone was taken aback by this.

Ji Fa was also taken aback by his father's actions and was quite puzzled.

"Father?"

She looked up at her father.

But he saw that his father's face had darkened and he was glaring at him with anger.

Not only was Ji Fa baffled, but even the civil and military officials behind him were equally confused. Therefore, no one knew why the Marquis had suddenly become so furious.

It should be noted that the Marquis has always had a very good temper and rarely gets angry.

It's truly astonishing that he returned without saying a word and then erupted in such a rage.

Ji Fa was also somewhat frustrated.

When he learned of his father's return, he immediately led all the civil and military officials out of the city to welcome him. They waited for a whole day until evening when his father finally arrived, but for some reason, his father flew into a rage.

But they dared not utter any nonsense and could only kneel quietly on the ground.

Ji Chang glared at him for a long time, burning with anger, before finally giving up.

He turned to walk into the city.

Ji Fa was kneeling on the ground, quickly got up.

"Father, your journey to Chaoge must have been arduous. I have been thinking of you day and night in Xiqi. Your return is truly a cause for celebration."

Upon hearing these words, Ji Chang's face darkened even further.

"What can that tyrannical ruler do to me?"

"When I went to Chaoge, I already said that I would be able to return safely after my seven-year prison sentence was over."

"Seven years have passed, and I've returned safe and sound, haven't I?"

No one dared to reply; they simply nodded in agreement.

Ji Fa's face was beaming with smiles.

"I'm glad Father didn't suffer too much. While I was in Xiqi, I was truly worried day and night, unable to sleep, fearing that Father would suffer hardships in Yin Shang."

"Now that Father has returned, he has even gained a little weight, which puts my mind at ease."

These words only made Ji Chang's face darken further.

Xiqi probably doesn't know about his cannibalism in Chaoge, right?

Even if they knew the news, they dared not spread it.

Perhaps Ji Fa still doesn't know about his past, otherwise he wouldn't have been so foolish as to say such a thing.

"Father, you are getting on in years, and the journey has been arduous. Let me carry you back to the city."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chang finally nodded.

Ji Fa, at least, did have some filial piety.

"Since you have such filial piety, I am very pleased. Then you may carry me into the city."

Ji Fa bent down slightly and carried Ji Chang on his back.

Ji Chang had gained some weight and his body had become much fatter.

But for Ji Fa, carrying his father on his back was an easy task.

Ji Chang lay on Ji Fa's broad back, he thought back to his eldest son Bo Yikao.

Bo Yikao was arguably his most valued son.

They have been working hard to cultivate him over the years.

Bo Yikao certainly did not disappoint him; apart from being a bit lecherous, he had almost no other flaws.

It's a pity that such a good son died in Chaoge.

Over the years, he has somewhat neglected his other sons.

Ji Fa has now grown so magnificent.

With a broad back and strong arms, he had clearly become a pillar of strength and a fine young man.

In Ji Chang's mind, he couldn't help but compare Ji Fa and Bo Yikao.

It was discovered that Ji Fa did not lose to Bo Yikao by much.

This son possesses exceptional qualities, both in temperament and courage.

The advantage lies in the fact that this son has the ability to recognize talent.

He always relies on prudence and has an old-fashioned demeanor, which is no less impressive than that of Bo Yikao.

Perhaps Ji Fa will be the future heir.

This child has the potential to achieve great things!

Ji Fa, meanwhile, was also in high spirits.

Carrying his father on his back, he strode towards Xiqi City under the watchful eyes of civil and military officials and common people.

He wanted to show it to all the officials, both civil and military, and to all the common people.

Boyi Kao was not the only Bo Yikao.

Ji Fa was also a very filial son.

His actions indeed drew admiration and praise from many people.

He has clearly achieved his goal.

After seven years of trials and tribulations, the Marquis finally returned to Xiqi, Xiqi City was filled with joy.

As for the eldest son, Bo Yikao, who went to Chaoge but never returned, no one mentioned him.

Although I have never heard of what exactly happened to the eldest son in Chaoge, I do know that he was murdered Chaoge.

Now that things have come to this, no one dares to mention it, and they can only tacitly avoid the issue.

Otherwise, it would displease the Marquis, which would be displeasing.

As the Marquis entered the city, the people of Xiqi City erupted in thunderous cheers.

Marquis Ji Chang of the West, had a fairly high reputation, though it could also be said to be extremely weak.

Now that the Marquis has returned to the city, the people naturally lined the streets to welcome him, a truly joyous occasion for all.

Ji Chang, who was lying on Ji Fa's back, was also very excited.

He's back, he's finally back!

He finally saw his people.

He finally experienced the feeling of being respected by others again.

For seven years in Youli City, I was like a stray dog.

Now that he's finally back and respected again, how could he not be excited?

Clinging to Ji Fa's back, it occasionally greeted the others.

The crowd erupted in wave after wave of thunderous cheers.

They were clearly incredibly excited; the Holy Lord of Xiqi had finally returned, and they finally had a pillar of support.

The fact that the Holy Lord has been away from Xiqi for the past seven years has left them somewhat without a leader.

The return of Lord Optimus Prime is naturally incredibly exciting news.

Soon Ji Fa carried Ji Chang back to the Marquis's residence.

Servants had already prepared everything and arranged a grand banquet.

The laundry room was filled with all sorts of delicious food, practically a dazzling array, covering all the tables.

Countless maids roamed among them, refilling the wine for everyone.

Many beautiful women danced in the center of the field, creating a lively scene.

It was truly an indescribable display of prosperity and an inexhaustible outpouring of emotions.

Ji Chang sat in the main seat, his face flushed, and he was also extremely excited.

He finally experienced the feeling of being admired by everyone once again, a feeling that fascinated him greatly.

Unfortunately, he had no appetite despite seeing the table full of delicious food.

He didn't know why his appetite had become so terrible.

Since escaping from Chaoge, he has barely eaten anything. He either has no appetite or finds it difficult to swallow. In the past ten days or so, he has only eaten some scattered snacks, and now he is starving.

Ji Chang frowned, barely managed to pick up a piece of meat from the table, chewed it a couple of times, and was about to swallow it when he spat it out onto the ground.

Ji Chang's face turned pale. The meat tasted like cardboard to him, and it also had a strange, almost foul, smell that he found hard to bear.

The crux of the problem is that the meat is cooked to an exceptionally delicious perfection; just one look at it tells you it must taste amazing. So why is it that I find it so hard to swallow?

Has his appetite become so demanding? Ji Chang's face was pale, with a hint of black.

The ministers were astonished by this scene. The meat was incredibly delicious, practically melting in their mouths, with an excellent flavor. Why would the Marquis spit it out on the ground?

Could it be that this meat doesn't suit the Marquis's taste at all?

"My lord, what is it?!"

"My lord, is this meat not to your liking?"
