My Immortal Brother-in-law

Chapter 45 Bad news!
"Tiger?"

"Tiger!!!"

Ji Chang was so frightened that his soul flew away!
"What's wrong with you, Shanjun? Wake up!
Would your practice reach the point where even your breath disappears?
No, I need to get a fortune-teller to tell the truth!"

Ji Chang quickly asked the hexagram chips.

"May I ask if my brother is healthy? If he is in critical condition, who should I look for to save him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Chang threw out the tortoise shell and divination chips, and then quickly looked through them for comparison.

As expected, the answers were all over the place and had nothing to do with the question.

"General Kong Xuan, the commander of Sanshan Pass, has a strong background, but his gender remains a mystery, could he be male or female?
I know what this is useful for!

General Deng, you don’t want your secret to be... What a joke!
Come again! "

Muttering depressedly, Ji Chang quickly threw out the tortoise shell.

When he looked at the hexagram again, he was shocked.

"Wait, the result this time...

The contemporary Emperor Taiding of the Shang Dynasty had one year and three months left to live. After his death, he was given the posthumous title of Wen. Is he Wen Ding? ! ! "

When he said this, all the hairs on Ji Chang's body stood up.

"King Tai Ding was only six years older than me, how could he die so early?
Wait, that’s not right!
It's bad. The reason why my father dared to bring Master Zhong's body to Yindu was because he was sure that Tai Ding would remain calm in the face of justice, and the core of his judgment was Tai Ding's age!

If Tai Ding was in good health and his reign could have been stable and lasted for a long time, he certainly would not have forced his father to take action, which led to wars and disasters all over the country.

But if there was a problem with Tai Ding's body, then in order to ensure the smooth transfer of supreme power in Da Shang, he would have to frantically suppress all possible problems in the final moments.

Only in this way could Tai Ding be at ease to hand over the world to his son.

However, Xiqi is the biggest problem that is most likely to occur during the reign of Taiding!

Tai Ding he...! "

At this point, Ji Chang's heart was broken. He only regretted that he had not calculated this important news earlier.

If they had known that Tai Ding had only one year to live, how could they have rushed to Yindu so nonchalantly!

A king who is about to die and a king whose reign is destined to be long are two completely different kinds of kings.

Every divination he predicted would come true, and Tai Ding only had one year left. As for now, Tai Ding's health might be in danger.

God bless, please don't let anything happen to my father!
The more Ji Chang thought about it, the more anxious he became.

But even in such a hurry, Ji Chang still threw the tortoise shell out again.

When Ji Chang looked at the hexagram again in a hurry, it seemed that God had mercy on him and he finally got the answer he wanted.

“Huh… Brother Shanjun’s body didn’t appear to have any accidents. On the contrary, it seems like he has received great benefits.

This way, I can put my mind at ease and do the math for myself!"

After he finished speaking, Ji Chang pressed the tortoise shell to his chest with both hands and knelt on the ground with great solemnity.

After praying silently for a moment, Ji Chang opened his eyes, with a sudden flash of clarity in his eyes, and he asked the sky word by word.

"Ask me if my father is safe!"

pat!

There seemed to be something wrong with the tortoise shell and the counting sticks. After they fell, they rolled on the ground for a full minute before finally stopping.

As the tortoise shell rolled, Ji Chang clutched his robe with both hands and prayed continuously.

When the tortoise shell stopped completely, Ji Chang took a deep breath and walked towards the tortoise shell tremblingly.

When he saw the hexagram.

He slammed his eyes shut.

"Ha ha……"

He suddenly laughed bitterly, then shook his head in self-mockery.

"It turns out that there are times when I can't make accurate predictions!" After he finished speaking, Ji Chang suddenly stood up and stared at Zhong Su in front of him.

While Ji Chang was watching, Zhong Su also happened to open his eyes.

Although the brainstorm was intense, it did not last too long. After he basically digested the contents of Liujia Qimen, he woke up naturally.

In addition, when he entered into a state of meditation, he could actually hear the sounds coming from outside.

He already knew the predicament Ji Chang was facing now.

What's more, even in such an emergency situation, Ji Chang still continued to predict the safety of Zhong Su.

Zhong Su was moved and bowed to Ji Chang.

“Brother Chang, what did you mean by your last divination? You actually look at me like that.

If I am not mistaken, Brother Chang, do you have anything to ask of you?"

"Indeed!"

Ji Chang calmly bowed to Zhong Su and then spoke sadly.

"In this last hexagram, I predicted that my father died in Yindu, and the one who sent my father's body back to Xiqi was you, Lord Shan!
Please forgive my anxiety, Mr. Tiger, and ride with me to Yindu. I... I don’t want this to come true.

But if it is impossible, then I still ask the mountain lord to do as the hexagram shows... to send my father home!"

After hearing this, what else could Zhong Su say?

Ji Li and Ji Chang, father and son, sent back their father's body.

Ji Chang calculated that he would also send his father's body back to Xiqi in the future.

There is a destiny behind the two events, and Zhong Su had no choice but to agree.

So Zhong Su did not hesitate at all, and immediately rode on Hu Jiao and rushed to Yindu with Ji Chang.

On the other hand, in Yindu.

As early as two and a half months ago, Xiqi completely annexed the land and population of the Guifang tribe.

When Tai Ding, who was far away in Yindu, saw the battle report that night, he became so angry that he fell ill.

Words are almost incapable of describing Tai Ding's feelings. The relationship between him and Ji Li... is simply too complicated.

This complexity even has to start from Tai Ding's father Wu Yi.

As we all know, Wu Yi was a king who was no less crazy than the future King Zhou.

To some extent, Wu Yi is even crazier than King Zhou!

He not only did crazy things like shooting blood from a bag into the sky and insulting the gods, but also did other things like killing the three dukes and nine ministers and humiliating the local princes.

He did even more of this kind of things than King Zhou.

Tai Ding was particularly disgusted with Wu Yi, even though he was Tai Ding's biological father.

Just as he often told his sons Zixian and others that he was much better than Wu Yi, he didn't even bother to hide his disgust for Wu Yi as a father.

For this reason, in the first year of Taiding's reign, he took advantage of Zhong Jue's initiative to move the capital of the Shang Dynasty from Chaoge back to Yindu.

In the second year of Tai Ding's reign, Tai Ding seized the military power with the help of Zhong Jue, and then, while ensuring the stability of the regime, he replaced all the three dukes and nine ministers of Wu Yi's dynasty more than once. It was really a relief to kill them all!

On the first day of his reign, Tai Ding made a vow to himself that he would never become a foolish tyrant like his father Wu Yi.

In addition to this oath, Tai Ding also made up his mind to clean up all the dirt left by his father Wu Yi!

He will get rid of every flatterer favored by his father, and every prince who supports his father in committing evil deeds!

And the seasonal calendar...

Perhaps many people don’t know that Ji Li is the prince that Wu Yi trusts the most!
Even during the craziest period when Wu Yi killed many court officials, he still rewarded Xiqi four times in a row!
Apart from what Ji Li had conquered on his own, a full one-fifth of Xiqi's current territory was bestowed upon it by Wu Yi!

There is no doubt that Ji Li was the most favored prince by Wu Yi.

Tai Ding will never forgive this!
