I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

The night ends and the day dawns.

Dawn breaks.

Bo Yikao got up early and personally cooked a meal for his father and second brother. While watching them eat, he suddenly said:

"After finishing this meal, I'll prepare to head back to Xiqi."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chang silently stopped eating, and Ji Fa put down his bowl of porridge. The courtyard fell into a deathly silence.

"After I leave, this little courtyard will be yours."

In addition, I left a lot of money in the room; you are free to take it as you wish.

After I return to Xiqi, I will send money over from time to time.

As for security, I will ask my colleagues in the court to take good care of me, for example, Jiang Ziya..." Boyi Kao continued without waiting for their response.

"Brother, I want to go back to Xiqi," Ji Fa suddenly said.

Bo Yikao said, "In the future, I will try to plead for you. When there is a general amnesty, perhaps you and your father will be able to go home."

Ji Fa asked, "How long will it take?"

Bo Yikao remained silent.

"Huang Feihu!" Suddenly, Ji Fa looked behind him and shouted.

Bo Yikao was slightly startled and subconsciously turned his head to look.

Just then, Ji Fa swiftly grabbed the stone plate on the table and smashed it hard on the back of Boyi Kao's head.

Bo Yikao felt a sharp pain on the top of his head, his vision went black, and he instantly lost consciousness.

Ji Chang's pupils contracted slightly, his expression filled with surprise and uncertainty.

As Boyi Kao fell, the hidden Imperial Guards instantly appeared and were about to capture Ji Fa.

At the critical moment, a ray of black light descended from the sky, and after landing, it manifested as the figure of Shen Gongbao, who cast a spell to freeze all the Imperial Guards in place.

“Ji Fa, you…” Ji Chang said.

“Father, my elder brother has been tamed into a loyal dog by King Zhou. If nothing unexpected happens, our Xiqi foundation will be devoured by the Yin Shang sooner or later. Can you tolerate this situation?” Ji Fa said coldly.

Ji Chang took a deep breath and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Shen Gongbao smiled slightly, chanted an incantation, and removed Boyi Kao's face, which floated in the air: "Second Young Master, are you ready?"

"Come on," Ji Fa replied in a deep voice, his eyes closed.

Shen Gongbao then removed his face and silently swapped the faces of the two brothers.

Ji Chang felt a chill run down his spine as he watched this horrifying scene.

"All right."

Soon after, Shen Gongbao slowly lowered his palm and spoke with a smile.

Ji Fa then opened his eyes, looked down at his elder brother's face, and exclaimed, "Truly a divine art!"

Shen Gongbao couldn't help but feel a little smug, waving his hand and saying, "What's so special about changing your face? I have an even more amazing flying head technique that allows you to remove your head and still move around freely."

Ji Fa praised, "The Grand Master's wondrous methods are divine."

Shen Gongbao laughed and said, "Let's go, I'll take you flying over the five passes and back to Xiqi as soon as possible, so as to avoid any unforeseen complications."

Ji Fa remained silent for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Ji Chang: "Father, please come with us."

Ji Chang exhaled a long breath and shook his head, saying, "If I leave, your plan to switch the babies will be ruined."

At that time, King Zhou will surely send troops to attack Xiqi again. What defense will Xiqi have then?

Ji Fa remained silent.

"By the way, I also ask the Grand Master to seal the relevant memories of these soldiers to prevent the truth from being exposed," Ji Chang added.

Shen Gongbao nodded, and with a flick of his finger, he unleashed streaks of light that pierced directly into the bodies of the soldiers inside the courtyard.

"Go quickly and protect my Xiqi foundation!" Ji Chang breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly.

Ji Fa knelt down and kowtowed to him nine times before, escorted by Shen Gongbao, he crossed Mengjin, forded the Yellow River, passed Mianchi, traversed five passes, and headed straight for Qishan...

at the same time.

Inside Lutai, at the construction site.

Qin Yao smiled slightly, and a wisp of immortal energy suddenly flew out from between his brows, manifesting as the figure of Bodhi out of thin air.

Immediately, Bodhi opened a dimensional portal, arriving in Xiqi City almost simultaneously with Shen Gongbao and the others...

Qin Yao tacitly approved Ji Fa's return to the west, but this did not mean he would sit idly by and watch Ji Fa work hard to govern the country, allowing Xiqi to grow larger in the west like a tumor in the Shang Dynasty.

Therefore, if Kou can go there, so can I.

If Shen Gongbao could stir up trouble in Chaoge, then Bodhi could naturally cause turmoil in Xiqi as well!

three days later.

Xiqi City.

Ji Fa, who was close to Boyi Kao, was appointed as an official to the court and successively promulgated seven new laws, appearing to be a diligent and ambitious ruler.

The main hall is high in the sky, above the white clouds.

Qin Yao smiled slightly, and with a wave of his sleeve, a ray of celestial light scattered forth.

As the celestial light descended, the Xiqi courtiers who were listening to the imperial instruction suddenly discovered that their lord had changed from Prince Yi Kao to Prince Ji Fa, causing an uproar among the crowd.

Among the officials, Shen Gongbao's expression changed drastically. He immediately unleashed a beam of divine light, attempting to transform Ji Fa back into the appearance of Boyi Kao.

But when the celestial light fell on the other person's face, there was no reaction whatsoever.

At this moment, Ji Fa was still unaware of the commotion among the officials, and frowned, asking, "What's all the commotion about?"

Shen Gongbao, quick-witted, shouted, "Your Majesty, you have been bewitched! Your face has been replaced with the likeness of the Second Prince!"

Ji Fa was greatly alarmed and hurriedly said, "Dismiss the court! Grand Master, please stay and exorcise the sorcery for me."

"Yes..." the ministers responded.

In the blink of an eye.

Watching his ministers leave, Ji Fa hurriedly ordered someone to bring a bronze mirror. Looking at his reflection in the mirror, he asked, "Grand Preceptor, what's going on?"

Shen Gongbao took a deep breath and replied, "It's not that my face-changing technique malfunctioned, but rather that someone turned you into this appearance."

"Even you can't solve it?" Ji Fa asked.

Shen Gongbao nodded and then said, "I will find someone to help."

Ji Fa said, "We must hurry, I must restore Cheng Boyi Kao as soon as possible!"

Now, Shen Gongbao flew out of Xiqi City, intending to find his senior brother from the Chan Sect, but suddenly remembered his master's instructions. After much deliberation, he changed his course and flew to the Western Sea.

Looking down, one sees the waves crashing and the mist rolling. After searching for a while, one finally finds a fairy cliff in the sea and immediately descends from the clouds.

From beginning to end, he remained unaware that a cloud was following him, and within the cloud lurked a figure with keen eyes, watching his every move...

Who has trespassed on Kowloon Island?

On the Immortal Cliff, a beam of light rushed from the depths and stopped abruptly in front of Shen Gongbao, transforming into a young Taoist boy with a full forehead and a broad, square face.

Shen Gongbao chuckled and cupped his hands, saying, "I am Shen Gongbao, the Grand Preceptor of Xiqi. Please announce my arrival."

The young Taoist priest asked, "What brings you here?"

"Just keep saying good things," Shen Gongbao waved his hand.

The young Taoist gave him a deep look before quickly flying towards the depths of the immortal abode.

Before long...

Four Taoist priests arrived together, one of whom asked with a smile, "Shen Gongbao, what benefits do you have for us?"

Shen Gongbao said, "I have come to invite the four of you to serve as officials in Xiqi, to hold high positions, and to enjoy the tributes of Xiqi." The four looked at each other, and the first one, Wang Mo, said:

"Could it be that you are unaware that we, along with Grand Tutor Wen Zhong of the Yin Shang Dynasty, are all immortals of the Jie Sect?"

Shen Gongbao said, "The Jie Sect is said to have ten thousand immortals paying homage, but the actual number of its disciples is probably even greater."

Wouldn't it be a shame to forgo tangible benefits and advantages just for the sake of so-called camaraderie?

Wang Mo said, "That's not how it works. Wen Zhong is a direct disciple of the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, and the Golden Spirit Saint Mother is one of the four direct disciples of the sect leader. We are unwilling to easily become enemies with him."

Shen Gongbao inwardly groaned.

He knew that dragging the Jie Sect immortals into the water wouldn't be so easy.

However, he couldn't disobey his master's orders, so no matter how troublesome it was, he had to bite the bullet and do it:
"No one will force you to be enemies with Wen Zhong, especially since there is no war between Xiqi and Yin Shang at present."

"Alright then, I promise you, if one day you ever face Wen Zhong in battle, you can leave at any time, how about that?"

The four were then satisfied and readily agreed.

Although they possess great magical power, their inherent nature is shallow, or rather, they are inherently deficient, and thus they need to be worshipped.

Now that they have these three rules, and they don't need to offend Wen Zhong, why would they mind getting some benefits?

High in the air, Qin Yao saw this and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

Before this, he often thought about how to obtain the Apricot Yellow Banner from the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

After all, this item is an innate spiritual treasure, which even a Saint Realm expert could use. It should have shone brightly in Jiang Ziya's hands, so how could it be left to gather dust in the Jade Void Palace?
Moreover, when one leaves, one can take this treasure with one's own hands. Even the Primordial Celestial Venerable cannot cross realms to come and snatch this treasure back.

Now that the Four Saints of Kowloon Island have taken up service in Xiqi, it has given him a very good excuse.

After all, he could beat the Four Sages to a pulp, something Jiang Ziya couldn't do...

However, a performance must be done in its entirety; otherwise, if it is too clumsy or too awkward, it may backfire.

With this in mind, Qin Yao immediately drove Jiang Ziya's body out of the Deer Terrace, shrinking the distance to an inch, and appeared outside Boyi Kao's house in the blink of an eye.

"Master, Master, Imperial Censor Jiang Ziya is here to pay his respects!" Before long, the gatekeeper ran up to Ji Chang and called out loudly.

Ji Chang, who was watering the flowers, suddenly changed his expression and asked, "What is he doing here?"

The gatekeeper said, "They said they wanted to see the second young master."

Ji Chang: "..."

After a moment of silence, he quickly put down the showerhead, strode to the outside of Boyi's examination room, knocked on the door and said, "My child, Jiang Ziya is here."

Inside the dormitory, by the window, Boyi Kao sat quietly, gazing at the distant sky.

Ji Chang gritted his teeth and said, "That matter was something your brother wronged you with, but since things have come to this, for the sake of the future of my Ji family, I beg you to help cover it up. Yi Kao, your father kneels before you."

Hearing the sound of someone kneeling, Boyi Kao's cheek twitched slightly, but he still stood up, turned around and opened the door: "Father, you really don't care about such things!"

Ji Chang said, "You can say whatever you want to me, but you must help your brother."

Bo Yikao sighed, walked past the other person, and strode into the courtyard.

"You are not Ji Fa!"

Outside the mansion gate, Qin Yao spoke decisively the moment he saw Boyi Kao.

Bo Yikao's expression changed drastically, and he retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Qin Yao sneered: "You think you can fool my discerning eyes with a mere face-changing technique? Boyi Kao, the King has been incredibly kind to you, yet you dare to deceive him!"

Bo Yikao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly grabbed Ziya's wrist: "Ziya, listen to me."

Qin Yao abruptly pulled his arm back, coldly saying, "Explain it to the King yourself!"

Bo Yikao: "..."

half an hour.

All officials in Chaoge received an urgent order to convene a grand court assembly. No matter who it was, unless it was a matter of life and death, everyone had to attend the assembly immediately.

When they arrived at the Nine-Room Palace, they saw the Ji family father and son kneeling on the golden platform, with Jiang Ziya standing to the side, and even the king had arrived first...

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" the courtiers shouted.

Uncle Nine nodded and raised his hand, saying, "All of you, rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers expressed their gratitude and rose at the same time.

"You, Imperial Censor, speak," Uncle Nine said, turning to Qin Yao.

Qin Yao immediately stepped forward and solemnly said, "Bo Yikao, the eldest son of Ji Chang, in order to help Ji Fa escape, actually sought out a sorcerer to use a face-swapping sorcery to switch his face with Ji Fa's and stay behind to be punished in his place. Now, Ji Fa has already escaped back to Xiqi, impersonating the Marquis of Xibo and usurping royal power."

Upon hearing this, the court officials were shocked.

Grand Tutor Wen, standing at the very front, opened his Heavenly Eye and indeed discovered signs of skin replacement.

"Your Majesty, I request permission to kill the Ji family father and son."

Amidst the commotion, King Wu Cheng, Huang Feihu, suddenly stepped forward and bowed to request permission to serve.

Uncle Nine shook his head and said, "The fault lies with Ji Fa!"

Wen Zhong slowly spoke: "This old minister is willing to lead troops to Xiqi and capture Ji Fa again."

“That sorcerer can change the faces of Boyi Kao and Ji Fa, so he might be able to change my face to someone else; therefore, I need the Grand Tutor to guard the palace,” Uncle Jiu said, rejecting the idea.

Wen Zhong had no rebuttal, and then recommended:

"Your Majesty, General Zhang Guifang of Qinglong Pass is not only proficient in military strategy, highly skilled in martial arts, and adept at spear techniques, but also possesses unorthodox and unorthodox skills. He can lead troops to attack Xiqi."

“If he leaves, who will guard Qinglong Pass?” Uncle Nine waved his hand, then looked at Qin Yao: “Grand Censor, you also possess extraordinary skills, can you capture Ji Fa for me?”

Qin Yao said, "Your subject obeys the decree..."

soon.

Qin Yao, wielding the God-Slaying Whip, flew directly to the outside of the Xiqi Royal Palace and shouted:

"Ji Fa, your impersonation of Boyi Kao and your escape from punishment through face-changing sorcery have been exposed. Why don't you surrender immediately and come with me to Chaoge to face your punishment?"

Inside the palace, Ji Fa, who had already restored Bo Yikao's appearance and was hosting the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, suddenly changed his expression and subconsciously looked at Shen Gongbao beside him.

Shen Gongbao coughed and said, "Four Sages, please use your supernatural powers to drive this fellow away!"

The four saints exchanged a smile, silently chanted incantations, and instantly summoned the four great demonic beasts: Bi'an, Suanni, Spotted Leopard, and Zheng Ning.

These four magical beasts, acting on their master's orders, roared as they charged out of the palace and crashed into Qin Yao.

Immediately, under the watchful eyes of the Four Sages and Shen Gongbao, Qin Yao began to feign a fight.

After just thirty rounds, he pretended to be in grave danger.

After forty-five rounds, he turned and left without saying a single harsh word.

"Your mounts are truly magnificent," Shen Gongbao exclaimed.

"How is the situation?" Ji Fa couldn't see the details of the battle, so he had no choice but to ask.

Wang Mo chuckled: "That Taoist priest was beaten so badly by our mounts that he could only parry and had no chance to fight back. He has now slunk away."

Ji Fa let out a long breath, his mind stirred, and he suddenly knelt down before the four saints: "I beg the four immortal masters to accept me as their disciple and guide me into the Dao."

Wang Mo's smile faltered slightly, and he exchanged glances with the other three.

Shen Gongbao's eyes flickered, and he smiled, "Your Majesty possesses the bones of an immortal; you are indeed a promising candidate for cultivation."

If the four of you could train even one Immortal King, wouldn't that be equivalent to Guang Chengzi of my Chan Sect?

Upon hearing this, the four of them recalled the story of Guang Chengzi imparting immortal techniques to the Yellow Emperor, and they couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

Ji Fa took in the expressions of the four men, and then kowtowed and begged again, but that's another story.

The four exchanged glances, and Wang Mo said in a deep voice:

"Very well, considering Your Majesty's sincerity, we will impart some of the Jie Sect's immortal techniques to you..." (End of Chapter)
