Xiaoyouzhutian, send Yi Xiaochuan to the palace to start

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted angrily: "It turned out to be him!"

He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned white, and veins popped out on the back of his hands. He was obviously furious. "Ji Chang! I treated him well and entrusted him with important tasks, but he dared to try to overthrow the Shang Dynasty!"

Emperor Xin was furious and paced back and forth in the room, apparently trying to figure out how to kill Ji Chang.

Kong Xuan stood aside, quietly watching the furious Emperor Xin, and said with a serious expression.

"Ji Chang is a man of great reputation and prestige in Xiqi. The Western Sect and the Chan Sect chose him because of this."

"Besides, this is an opportunity to change the dynasty and gain control of the most powerful power. Why do you think he wouldn't dare to do that?"

Emperor Xin suddenly stopped and turned to look at Kong Xuan. The anger in his eyes faded a little, replaced by a thoughtful look: "What the Immortal said is very true."

"I was almost blinded by anger. Now that I know who the enemy is, I cannot just sit there and wait for death. I will return to the palace and have Huang Feihu lead an army of 200,000 to capture the traitor Ji Chang!"

Upon seeing this, the nine-tailed fox swayed to the side of Emperor Xin again and chuckled. The laughter sounded like a silver bell, but with a bit of bewitching charm.

"No, Your Majesty, by making such a big move, you are forcing Ji Chang to rebel early."

"Xiqi has strong soldiers and horses, and abundant food and grass. Ji Chang has been operating in Xiqi for many years, and has a deep foundation. He is deeply loved by the people, and has the support of the two religions. Once a war breaks out, there will be no result in a short time."

She quietly approached Emperor Xin and whispered in his ear, "I do have a plan. Perhaps I can get Ji Chang to come to Chaoge on his own initiative. Then, will you let the king deal with you?"

Facing the charming nine-tailed fox, Emperor Xin's heart was once again moved. He couldn't help but shudder all over and whispered, "Fairy, what do you think we should do?"

The nine-tailed fox smiled, raised her hand and gently stroked her hair, teasing Emperor Xin from time to time, "Your Majesty can issue an order to allow Marquis Xibo to return to Chaoge."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin frowned slightly. Is it that simple? Not to mention that Ji Chang himself is proficient in the art of Bagua, can see through the secrets of heaven, and predict good and bad luck, even he has many capable people around him, how could he not know that this is more likely to be bad than good?

The nine-tailed fox seemed to see through Emperor Xin's doubts and immediately chuckled, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Letting Xibohou return to Chaoge to report on his duties at this time does not seem to be a problem on the surface, and no one will say anything."

"I guess Ji Chang would come to Chaoge several times a year to report to the king on the development of Xiqi. But if Ji Chang does not return to Chaoge this time, it proves that he has the intention of rebellion."

"Then the king can send troops to attack us with justification. In this way, we will be in a righteous position and fight against those who are disloyal."

"The officials and people of the Shang Dynasty would not say that the king was cruel and killed loyal people indiscriminately. Instead, they would criticize Ji Chang verbally and in writing."

After hearing this, Emperor Xin nodded slightly, but soon frowned again, "What if Ji Chang really comes to Chaoge? Are we really going to kill him?"

"In that case, wouldn't it be......"

The nine-tailed fox stretched out its jade hand and directly covered Emperor Xin's mouth, smiling seductively, "My king, don't worry. If Ji Chang really comes to Chaoge, I will also have a way to punish him legitimately."

"Besides, I am certain that given the current situation, Ji Chang would not dare to set foot in Chaoge."

After hearing this, Emperor Xin was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily, "In this case, I will return to the palace and order Ji Chang to return to Chaoge to report on his work!"

But after Emperor Xin had walked just two steps, he seemed to have thought of something and turned back to look at Kong Xuan and the others, "Master, three fairies, I wonder if you..."

Kong Xuan said calmly, "During this period of time, we will stay in Chaoge."

Emperor Xin's thoughts surged again, and he said with a smile: "Why don't you four follow me into the palace? I will definitely entertain you four with great hospitality."

As he spoke, Emperor Xin's gaze rested on the nine-tailed fox, and the desire in his eyes was hardly concealed.

The three girls giggled upon seeing this, but said nothing. Instead, they looked at Kong Xuan. Kong Xuan was Liu Hao's man, and his cultivation was much higher than theirs, so of course they had to obey Kong Xuan's arrangements.

After a little thought, Kong Xuan nodded and agreed. He had to stay in Da Shang anyway, and might have to take part in the battle himself in the future. It would be good for him to stay by Emperor Xin's side so that he could control the situation at any time.

Just like that, at the invitation of Emperor Xin, Kong Xuan and three others entered the palace. However, Kong Xuan asked for a secluded courtyard to live alone, as he did not like the hustle and bustle.

The three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb...

A few days later, someone saw three strange women appearing in the harem. They were dressed gorgeously and looked "extremely beautiful". For a while, rumors spread in the harem, and everyone was guessing the origins of these three women.

Five days later, Xiqi, Xibohou Mansion.

After reading the bamboo slips in his hand, Ji Chang, the Duke of Xibo, handed them to a young man beside him and said, "Take a look." The bamboo slips clearly stated that Emperor Xin had ordered him to return to Chaoge to report on his work.

After reading it, the man frowned slightly, with a worried look on his face, "Father, the king asked you to return to Chaoge now? Why is it so strange? You didn't go back at this time in previous years. Could it be..."

This boy was none other than Ji Chang's eldest son, Bo Yikao. Bo Yikao was dressed in white and looked very elegant and dignified. Next to him stood a man dressed as a military general.

"What? Emperor Xin wants my father to go back to Chaoge? Father, you absolutely can't do that! If Emperor Xin becomes suspicious of you, this trip will surely be disastrous!" The general waved his hand to refuse.

"Second brother, if father does not return to Chaoge, he will definitely be criticized and have a reputation of disobeying the emperor's order, which will be detrimental to the next plan." Bo Yikao looked at the general and shook his head slowly.

This military general was none other than Ji Chang’s second son and the founding monarch of the Great Zhou, Ji Fa.

Ji Chang sat in the first seat, listening quietly to the argument between his two sons. His face was calm, as if he was analyzing their views.

After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and whispered: "My son, what you said is reasonable. This matter is a little strange and needs to be considered carefully."

"It's okay. Wait for your father to tell you the answer."

After Ji Chang finished speaking, he confidently took out a few copper coins and a tortoise shell from his pocket.

He looked solemn and muttered something. Then he put the copper coins into the tortoise shell, shook it gently, and sprinkled the copper coins on the table.

After a long time, Ji Chang's face suddenly changed and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Father!..." Seeing this, Bo Yikao, Ji Chang, hurriedly shouted and supported the staggering Ji Chang.

Their faces were filled with anxiety and worry, and they asked in unison: "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Chang's face was extremely pale and his lips trembled slightly, but he could not speak for a long time. His eyes revealed endless fear and despair, as if he saw a very terrible omen from the hexagram.

After a moment, Ji Chang said with a trembling voice: "This is a very bad omen!"
