Chapter 256 Ji Chang vomiting blood
"Come out, come out."

"King Zhou accepted the rare treasure of Xiqi, is Lord Xibo going to be released from prison?"

"Who knows, maybe..."

After Bo Yikao and others walked out of the palace gate, the crowd who came here to watch the excitement suddenly became noisy.

Xibohou glanced at it, and walked straight towards the original inn, followed by a group of Xiqi soldiers.

The common people watching the theater made way for Bo Yi Kao and others to pass.

Some people came closer and saw the gloomy expression on Bo Yikao's face, knowing that this matter had not been accomplished, they all sighed in their hearts.

On this day, although Bo Yikao and others presented the treasure to King Zhou, they did not get the letter from King Zhou to release Ji Chang.

Bo Yikao didn't say a word along the way, while all the cronies looked at each other in blank dismay, and couldn't think of any other way except to follow closely behind.

And when you can't think of a way, the best state is to keep silent.

So a group of Xiqi soldiers returned to the inn in this silent atmosphere different from the noise of the outside world.

Bo Yikao asked the generals to order everyone to rest on their own, then went back to his room and closed the door.

He sat at the tea table in the house, pondered for a long time, and thought of countless ways, but none of them worked.

However, Zhen Yuanzi's persuasion and sneer from before were interspersed inexplicably, and sometimes appeared in Bo Yikao's mind.

"...If you collect the treasure, you will release Ji Chang..."

"...The strange treasure has already been taken out, so there is no reason not to offer it..."

"...There must be many crises..."

Bo Yikao, known as the gentleman of Xiqi, had a serious look on his face, and a trace of sadness gradually flashed in his originally firm eyes.

……

That night.

A figure who was not considered tall was holding an oil lamp and walked through the darkness with the faint light.

After passing through a patch of grass and mud, the man came to a wet place.

He raised the oil lamp to shine it, and dozens of pitch-black iron bars stood up, separating a space.

It was a hidden prison.

In the pitch-black darkness where you can't see your fingers, there is a sound of "ding ding dong dong" from time to time. It is the sound of water droplets condensing into beads and dripping into puddles.

"Xibohou, Xibohou——"

The figure came to the iron bar fence and called out in a low voice.

The light reflected the wrinkles on his face, it turned out to be an old man in the palace.

He had always admired Ji Chang's character, and when he heard that Ji Chang was imprisoned by King Zhou, he asked around for the location of the prison, and sometimes he would bring better meals late at night.

After a while, with the sound of the iron chain "jingling", under the faint light of the oil lamp, a figure with disheveled hair came out of the darkness.

The man stretched out his hands and brushed aside the disheveled black hair that blocked Realization, revealing a handsome face that was exhausted but still heroic, with majesty hidden in his brows.

It was Xiqi Xibohou, Ji Chang who was imprisoned by King Zhou.

The old man holding the lamp saw that although his clothes were torn and his hair was disheveled, he sighed slightly.

Fortunately, seeing that he was still in good spirits, the old man pulled himself together and said hastily: "His Majesty, I have something important to tell you."

When Ji Chang heard the words, his eyes moved, and he asked, "What's the matter?"

The old man looked around immediately, his face flustered and anxious, and he spoke very fast: "Your son, Boyi passed the Chaoge test, and today he presented a gift to King Zhou."

"It is said that there are three treasures of Xiqi among them. Presumably they want to use the excuse of paying tribute to rescue Xibohou."

"Bullshit!"

Hearing what the old man said, Ji Chang's face became increasingly difficult to look.After he finished speaking, Ji Chang scolded even more.

The old man was worried that there would be patrolling jailers passing by, so he hurriedly said his goodbyes and left.

Looking at the old man's leaving figure, Ji Chang frowned.

He expected that his visit this time might offend King Zhou.

But after all, he was one of the four princes, and Ji Chang was sure that King Zhou would not kill him directly, but he did not expect that the eldest son Bo Yikao would come here with his treasure.

However, after thinking about it, he was relieved.

As the eldest son, although Bo Yikao did not inherit his ability in the court, he did a better job in winning people's hearts. He was titled Xiqi Gentleman, and he was even more filial to himself.

Now that he is in trouble, he will not stand idly by no matter what.

Ji Chang thought about it, sighed helplessly, and immediately dragged the iron chain on his hand, and started divination.

A faint fluorescent light flickered in the darkness, and after a while, the hexagram was revealed.

Ji Chang just glanced at it, his eyes widened immediately, his whole body trembled slightly, and his face was full of disbelief.

A burst of deepest sorrow suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, Ji Chang felt his head buzzing, and his heart ached like a knife.

Moments later, a fishy sweetness rushed out of the throat.

"puff--"

Ji Chang opened his mouth, and a pool of scarlet blood immediately appeared on the ground, and then slowly hid in the darkness.

Ji Chang suppressed the sadness on his face and kept it deep in his heart.

Then he swept away the fluorescent hexagrams casually, scattered them, turned around, and returned to the darkness again.

And from the gradually dissipating hexagrams, it can still be seen vaguely that the person who looks like Ji Chang is staying away from Chaoge, while the person who looks like Bo Yikao died tragically in Chaoge.

……

Regardless of Ji Chang's reaction, the next day, the palace sent someone to report that Boyi had been admitted to the palace.

When Bo Yi Kao heard the words, he was stunned for a while before he realized, and hurriedly followed the people from the palace.

He thought that King Zhou had accepted the treasure and made everyone wait in the court song, but he was just dragging them down.

Unexpectedly, King Zhou would summon himself to go there the next day.

Taking advantage of this "unexpected joy", Bo Yikao secretly made up his mind to persuade King Zhou to let his father go.

Bo Yikao entered the palace for the second time, followed the people in the palace to wait outside the main hall, and only entered the court hall after being summoned three times.

At this time, the early dynasty had long since ended, and King Zhou sat on the throne alone, looking at Bo Yi Kao who came in with a smile.

Bo Yikao came to King Zhou and bowed his head, saying: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

King Zhou nodded with a smile, and said, "Aiqing, let's live in peace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Boyi got up from the exam, he heard King Zhou ask, "Aiqing, I know that I have summoned you here today, why?"

Boyi Kao heard the words, didn't think too much, and directly said what he wanted in his heart: "But has your majesty decided to release my father and let him return to Xiqi with us?"

King Zhou was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he burst out laughing, saying, "Aiqing, you really know how to joke."

Bo Yi Kao heard the words, not only did not have the intention to quit, but he insisted: "I am not joking, I implore Your Majesty, pardon my father Xi Bohou, let us wait for a reunion!"

Seeing Boyi Kao's recalcitrant appearance, King Zhou's face was unhappy, and he snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Bo Yikao opened his mouth slightly, and finally kept silent.

Only then did King Zhou not want to get entangled with him, and said directly: "The three concubines who are lonely have heard that you have superb piano skills and are somewhat interested, so they called you here today to teach you the art of playing the piano with the three concubines who are lonely. .”
