Honghuang: I am Qitian and I want to fight for the throne

Chapter 287 Ji Chang's Plan and Daji's Tragedy
Chaoge, the main hall of the royal palace.

When Emperor Xin heard the soldier who brought the news about the rebellious poem written by Su Hu on the city wall, he became furious.

"You traitor, you dare to deceive the emperor. I will kill you! Come, gather the army. I will lead the army in person to defeat this traitor!"

Looking at Emperor Xin, who was filled with murderous intent and extremely furious, the various princes who had not left below were basically silent.

in fact,

They did not want to see Su Hu, who was also a vassal like them, being killed. Once a precedent was set, it would be difficult to stop it.

However, there is no reason to dissuade.

Because Su Hu did something inappropriate in this matter.

Even if you hate Fei Zhong and You Hun, and are annoyed by King Zhou's debauchery, you cannot write anti-Shang poems.

How reckless!

Especially Beibo Hou Chonghouhu, whose expression was the ugliest.

Because Jizhou was under his jurisdiction, Su Hu's act of treason would surely implicate the people of Jizhou.

at this time,

One of them stood up and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, think twice. Leading the army in person is no joke. Jizhou is under the jurisdiction of Beibo Hou. You can just let Hou Hu go to attack. Why bother Your Majesty to lead the army in person?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin was about to scold him.

But when he saw that it was the King of Wucheng Huang Feihu, he forced himself to suppress his anger. After all, Huang Feihu's three generations were loyal and devoted to business, so he couldn't offend him too much.

He immediately shouted:
"Hear my command, Lord Beibo and Lord Xibo. I command you to capture the traitor Su Hu within one month and bring his family back to Chaoge safely. No mistakes!"

Hearing this,

Beibohou Chonghouhuling immediately felt relieved and looked at Huang Feihu with gratitude.

If King Zhou went to war personally, Jizhou would surely suffer great losses. However, if he led his troops himself, he could only target Su Hu and avoid the disaster of war for the people of Jizhou.

However, King Ji Chang of Xibo was a little unhappy. Why did this involve him?
Just because your territory is close?

Moreover, the last sentence shows that he is obviously still thinking about Su Hu's daughter!
but,

Although he was unhappy, seeing that Emperor Xin was angry at the time and the king's order was difficult to disobey, Ji Chang had no choice but to agree.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Afterwards, Ji Chang and Chonghouhu returned to their respective territories.

Chonghouhu immediately summoned an army of 50,000 and marched towards Jizhou.

But for some reason Ji Chang did not mobilize his troops immediately.

Outside Jizhou City, Chonghouhu's army and Jizhou's army stood facing each other.

Chonghouhu took the lead and shouted at Su Hu:
"Su Hu, you have committed the crime of treason by writing a poem of rebellion in private. Surrender quickly and go to Chaoge with me. I can plead with the king and save your life!"

"snort!"

Su Hu snorted coldly and said angrily:

"Marquis Beibo, are you also getting old and confused? This matter is clearly caused by King Zhou, who is incompetent, indulges in wine and women, despises the virtuous and values ​​the treacherous, and listened to the slanderous words and wanted to rape my daughter. Why do you say it is my fault? King Zhou does not think about the foundation of the country, and the Shang Dynasty will perish in his hands sooner or later."

"you"

Hearing this, Chonghouhu's face turned pale.

He didn't want Jizhou to be engulfed in war, and he also wanted to save Su Hu's life out of kindness. However, he didn't expect that Su Hu would be so ungrateful and say that he was old and confused.

It really pissed him off.

Moreover, since Su Hu had spoken rebellious words in front of so many soldiers and generals, he didn't want to say anything to help him.

Such a brainless person, just let him die.

otherwise,

The people of Jizhou will be implicated sooner or later.

"Su Hu disobeyed the king's order and wrote a rebellious poem privately. His crime is unforgivable. Now he has been summoned to question him, but he still does not repent. Generals, who will help me capture this traitor?"

A general wearing a phoenix-wing helmet and golden armor rode forward and said, "Mei Wu, your humble general, invites you to fight!"

"allow!"

Su Hu also sent out a vanguard officer. The two of them didn't say much and just rode their horses to fight.

After a fight, it was obvious that Jizhou's vanguard officer was not as strong as Mei Wu. Mei Wu quickly seized his weakness and chopped off his head with an axe.

The Jizhou army's momentum suddenly weakened, and Su Hu's face darkened.

"I come!"

At this moment, Su Quanzhong, the eldest son of Su Hu, rode out on his horse.

Mei Wu, who had won a match, knew Su Quanzhong and shouted with his axe in hand:

"Su Quanzhong! You and your son have rebelled and offended the king. Be smart and surrender quickly. Otherwise, I will let you taste the power of the axe in my hand!"

Although Su Quanzhong was angry, he did not waste any words. He directly held the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand and spurred his horse towards Mei Wu.

Mei Wu was furious and rode his horse to meet him with an axe in hand.

However, as soon as they started fighting, Mei Wu was terrified. Su Quanzhong was too strong. He was definitely a powerful cultivator who had reached the pinnacle of refining the void and integrating the Tao.

Below the Primordial Earth Immortals, there are four realms for cultivators:

Refining essence into Qi; refining Qi into spirit; refining spirit into emptiness; refining emptiness into Tao.

Su Quanzhong is only one step away from overcoming the tribulation and becoming an earthly immortal.

However, Mei Wucai had only reached the realm of spiritual cultivation and return to the void, so he was no match for him at all.

really,

In less than ten moves, Mei Wu's weapon was knocked away by Su Quanzhong, and then he and his horse were split in half by a halberd.

After killing Mei Wu, Su Quanzhong directly pointed the blood-stained Fang Tian Huaji at Chonghouhu's army:
"Who else?"

With Su Quanzhong's loud shout, the morale of the Jizhou army was immediately boosted, while the morale of the Chonghouhu army was somewhat low.

see,

Su Hu was not willing to miss such a good opportunity and immediately ordered an attack.

Chonghouhu was not willing to be outdone, and he beat the drum to fight back, and immediately the two armies started fighting each other.

Among them, the most eye-catching was Su Quanzhong, who danced with a Fang Tian Hua Ji with great vigor on the battlefield.

No matter whether they were soldiers or generals, none of them were a match for him. The surrounding area of ​​several feet became a Shura field, and countless enemy soldiers died under the Fang Tian Huaji.

Extremely brave.

However, just as Su Quanzhong was killing people everywhere, a man suddenly walked out from beside Chong Houhu.

It was his younger brother Chong Heihu.

Chong Heihu took out a red gourd without saying a word.

As he was muttering to himself, a black smoke emerged and transformed into an iron-beaked eagle, which pecked directly at Su Quanzhong.

Su Quanzhong, who was charging at the same time, also saw this scene and immediately exclaimed:
"Magic!"

He is not a casual cultivator, he also has a master and has naturally seen immortal techniques. He knows that this can only be used by people at least at the Earthly Immortal level.

I am definitely not his opponent.

However, Su Quanzhong did not run away. Instead, he poured all his spiritual energy into the Fang Tian Huaji and chopped towards the Iron-beaked Eagle.

However, he secretly sent a message to Su Hu:

"Father, hurry up, they have an immortal in the army, I will stop him, you go back to the city and inform my master!"

Hearing this,

Su Hu's face suddenly changed. Looking at his eldest son who was rushing towards the opposite side resolutely, Su Hu did not go to rescue him because he knew it was useless.

His cultivation is not as good as Su Quanzhong's.

He gritted his teeth, sounded the horn to call back his troops, and quickly drove his horse towards the rear of the city.

He wanted to find his eldest son's immortal master to save him.

Meanwhile, Su Quanzhong, who was rushing towards the Iron-beaked Eagle, couldn't even withstand a single blow and was directly pecked and seriously injured, losing the strength to resist.

"Get it for me!"

Chong Heihu waved his hand and ordered his men to tie up Su Quanzhong.

However, at this moment, a green light flashed, and Su Quanzhong disappeared directly on the spot.

This scene made Chong Heihu's face change suddenly and he was shocked.

He became a disciple of the second generation of disciples of Jiejiao, and he knew very well that the person who rescued Su Quanzhong was definitely at a level far beyond his own.

He immediately sent a message to his elder brother Chong Houhu:

"Brother, there is a master in Jizhou City, I am no match for him!"

Chonghouhu's heart suddenly sank.

Anyone who can be called a master by his brothers who are in the immortal realm must be a powerful person who should not be provoked. He immediately gave up the idea of ​​attacking Jizhou and capturing Su Hu.

but,

He did not order the troops to retreat. This time he had the king's order. If he did not capture Su Hu, he would not be able to return to Chaoge to report.

"Damn it, what is Ji Chang doing? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Chonghouhu cursed in his heart. This time, King Zhou asked him and Ji Chang to capture Su Hu together. He was almost done fighting, but Ji Chang had not shown up yet.

He knew that Ji Chang had many immortals under his command.

Now that there are experts in Jizhou, we can only wait for Ji Chang to come and help.

just,

They waited for three days, and just when Chonghouhu and others were getting impatient, Xibohou Jichang arrived.

just,

When he saw Ji Chang, Chonghouhu almost vomited blood.

Because Ji Chang came alone, without any soldiers, let alone immortal helpers.

"Ji Chang, the king asked you and me to capture Su Hu together, why are you here alone?"

Listening to Chonghouhu's dissatisfied words, Ji Chang smiled calmly:
"Don't be angry, Lord Bo. The reason why I didn't bring anyone here is because I calculated that there is a truly powerful person in Jizhou City. No matter how many soldiers we bring, we can't capture it."

Hearing this,

Chonghouhu was startled, and without caring about being angry, he asked anxiously:

"Can you guess who this powerful person is? How strong is he? Do you have a solution?"

He knew very well about Ji Chang's fortune-telling ability.

That is the acquired Bagua derived from the innate Bagua of Emperor Fuxi, which is extraordinary.

“I can’t predict it!”

Ji Chang shook his head, looked at Chonghouhu's uneasy expression, smiled calmly, and said confidently:
"Don't worry. Although I can't predict it, I am confident that I can convince Su Hu to surrender. Please wait for a moment. I will go to Jizhou City right away. It will take three days at most and one day at least, and the matter will be resolved!"

The words fell,

Ji Chang got up and left, riding his horse to Jizhou City alone.

Then, after saying something to the soldiers guarding the city, he was let into the city.

The Mansion of Marquis Su in Jizhou.

Su Hu welcomed Ji Chang into the mansion and said directly:

"Brother Ji Chang, why are you here? Are you here because King Zhou ordered me to be captured?"

Ji Chang did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Brother Su, this incident is all your fault. You should know that all the people in the world are the king's subjects and all the land under heaven is the king's. King Zhou chose your daughter as his concubine, which is not a big mistake. But you rebuked the king in public, which is against the righteousness of the monarch and his subjects. This is actually nothing. We princes have also saved you.

But you should never, ever write a rebellious poem in Chaoge. You know that this is a crime of treason that will result in the execution of the entire family. Moreover, your momentary impulse will implicate hundreds of thousands of people in Jizhou. When the war breaks out, countless people will be displaced."

Listening to Ji Chang's questioning, Su Hu was unable to refute for a moment.

He also knew that he had indeed committed a great disaster. If King Zhou became angry and implicated the people, the entire Jizhou City would indeed be devastated.

and,

At this time, Su Hu's attitude was not as tough as before.

The reason for this,
This was because when he rushed to the courtyard of his eldest son's master in the city, he did not see Su Quanzhong's master, and the place was empty.

This made Su Hu completely lose his confidence.

He has an impatient temper, but he is not stupid.

Moreover, his son had been captured by King Xibo, and he was now somewhat at a loss.

Therefore,
Su Hu looked at Ji Chang and asked, "Brother Ji Chang, I was indeed reckless. For the sake of a moment's pleasure, I committed such a huge disaster. I beg you to save my Su family's life for the sake of the people of Jizhou."

Hearing this,

Ji Chang did not speak directly, but took out a few copper coins and threw them up.

"Wow~"

After a moment, Ji Chang looked at the copper coins with different front and back sides and said slowly:
"This disaster is not unsolvable. It all started because of your daughter. As long as you agree to send your daughter to Chaoge as a concubine and apologize, I will mediate with other princes and I will be able to protect your Su Mansion and the people of Jizhou. So, Brother Su, make your own decision on what to do!"

After listening to what Ji Chang said, Su Hu also lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Constantly thinking about the pros and cons.

At this time, Ji Chang did not have the slightest intention of urging, but just looked quietly at the copper coins on the table.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the whole room was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

After a while,
Su Hu stood up suddenly, clasped his hands together, and said to Ji Chang in a solemn voice:

"Brother Ji Chang, I am willing to follow your advice! But I hope that Brother Ji Chang can ensure the safety of the people of Jizhou!"

Hearing Su Hu's words, Ji Chang's face instantly showed joy, and he quickly responded:
"Brother Su, don't worry! As long as I, Ji Chang, am here, I will do my best to protect the people of Jizhou! Without further ado, Brother Su, take Ling Ai with me to Chaoge. Once we arrive, I will join forces with Marquis Xibo and other princes to plead for your release!"

"Thank you, Brother Ji Chang!"

Su Hu did not express any objection to Ji Chang's proposal.

He turned back to the inner room and told his wife and beloved daughter Su Daji about this matter.

However, when Mrs. Su heard the news, how could she easily agree? She immediately burst into tears to stop him.

Su Hu didn't object either.

He went back and told his wife and daughter about this. Mrs. Su refused to agree and immediately started crying to try to stop him.

As for Su Daji, why would she be willing to enter the palace?
After all, she had already heard about the various licentious and immoral deeds of the current Human King.

Once you step into the deep palace, the rest of your life will be miserable and miserable.

but,

If she insisted on not entering the palace, not only would her parents' lives be in danger, but even her brother and many innocent people in Jizhou would probably suffer a devastating disaster because of her.

Thinking of this,

Although she was filled with helplessness and reluctance deep in her heart, the kind-hearted Su Daji finally agreed.

just,

The moment she nodded in agreement, her heart died.

"Zaza~"

Thousands of miles away from Chaoge City, an extremely luxurious carriage that could accommodate more than a dozen people slowly approached.

Su Hu led the way on horseback, surrounded by hundreds of guards.

It was Su Hu's family who came from Jizhou.

Of course, there are also Ji Chang, the Duke of Xibo, Chong Houhu, the Duke of Beibo, and his brother Chong Heihu.

And inside the carriage, Su Daji, who was graceful, charming and had an angelic appearance, was sitting quietly.

just,

The originally radiant Su Daji was now crying silently, and her beautiful eyes that were full of spirit were dull and lifeless.

He looked as if he had lost all desire to live.

"Om~"

At this moment, the space inside the carriage suddenly fluctuated, and then a white fox shadow suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of Su Daji.

Then, in front of its horrified eyes, it opened its mouth and swallowed it.

"Humph~"
