I, Suiren, will teach Ziyi how to make stockings.

Ji Chang did not refuse Jiang Ziya's invitation.

Jiang Ziya bowed, and Ji Chang followed suit, demonstrating the ultimate in etiquette.

“To be honest, Chang came here today to invite you to come out of seclusion.

"Sir, you are a man of great talent. With your help, Xiqi will surely be transformed." After sitting down, Ji Chang spoke directly to the point, expressing his thoughts.

"My Lord, you are too serious.

"Jiang Shang is but an old man, not capable of maintaining the state through literary means, nor of defending the country through military might. For the Marquis to hold him in such high esteem is truly an insult to the throne and a betrayal of His Majesty." This was the first time Ji Chang spoke, and Jiang Ziya naturally refused.

Are you kidding? If you agree as soon as someone asks, isn't that cheap?

In addition, we must also distance ourselves from the matter.

Be humble first.

"Mr. is being modest.

This time, the Marquis came to invite the gentleman with sincerity, otherwise he would not have fasted for three days and bathed and dressed neatly.

The current Shang Dynasty will sooner or later fall into chaos.

The human king, Emperor Xin, was close to treacherous ministers, distanced himself from wise and capable people, indulged in wine and women, and was cruel to the people, making their lives miserable.

The Marquis has made the people suffer so much that they can neither eat nor sleep.

The master is a man of great virtue, living in seclusion in a creek. We went there just to invite him to come out of seclusion.

This is the betrothal gift we prepared, I hope you don’t mind it.

If you can assist Xiqi, it will be a blessing for the people of the world.

If the gentleman is unwilling to come out of retirement, all his great talents and astonishing strategies would be wasted.

Besides, how could you bear to see the people suffering?

San Yisheng begged the master to come out of seclusion. Seeing that Jiang Ziya was unwilling, San Yisheng directly used moral blackmail.

"My lord, you can come out of seclusion, but Jiang Shang has a request." Looking at Ji Chang, Jiang Ziya made a request.

"Sir, please tell me. I would be willing to accept not just one request, but even a hundred." Jiang Ziya was Ji Chang's wise minister who responded to his dream, so Ji Chang naturally didn't want to miss it.

"Jiang Shang wants the Marquis to pull the carriage for me." Looking at the carriage next to him, Jiang Ziya walked over and asked Ji Chang to pull the carriage.

"Good." Ji Chang had no objection to this request and walked over immediately.

"My Lord." Seeing Ji Chang pulling the carriage, San Yisheng and his group were filled with anger, but they did not say it out loud.

"If I have great strength, what's wrong with pulling a cart?" Putting the rope on his shoulders, Ji Chang began to move forward step by step.

However, Ji Chang was already 92 years old at this time, and the first 500 steps were no problem.

After five hundred steps, I was exhausted and sweating profusely.

Especially after it had moved six hundred steps, Ji Chang felt that the chariot was getting heavier and heavier, and it was difficult to move forward.

"Jiang Shang, if you want to ride in a carriage, how about we pull it for you?" Seeing this, San Yi became angry and directly scolded Jiang Ziya.

"That's right, it's already six hundred steps, almost there."

"Jiang Shang, all you want is an attitude. The Marquis has already done this. Isn't that enough?"

……

San Yisheng took the lead and other ministers followed suit.

"My lord, if you can still hold on, then please hold on a little longer." Jiang Ziya ignored everyone's condemnation, but closed his eyes and let Ji Chang continue pulling the cart.

"Okay." Gritting his teeth, Ji Chang pulled the cart again.

In this way, Ji Chang walked forward another hundred steps, then gasped for breath, and was almost exhausted.

"Jiang Ziya, that's enough."

"That's right, the Marquis has already done this, and you are still not satisfied?"

"Jiang Ziya, can I take over? I'll pull for the Marquis."

……

The closer it got to the end, the angrier everyone became, and they asked Jiang Ziya to come down quickly.

"My lord, if you believe in me, just hold on a little longer. Even if you can take one more step, it will be a good thing." With a sigh, Jiang Ziya asked Ji Chang to continue.

"My Lord..." Jiang Ziya didn't understand what was being said, so everyone could only look at Ji Chang.

"Don't try to persuade me. Since I promised you, sir, I must stick to it." After changing shoulders, Ji Chang moved forward again.

This time, Ji Chang's speed of progress was obviously much slower.

But Ji Chang still persisted.

Seven hundred and seventy-one...

Seven hundred and seventy-five...

Seven hundred and ninety-one...

……

After countless exhortations from his ministers, Ji Chang finally walked eight hundred steps.

After reaching eight hundred steps, Ji Chang's body trembled and he collapsed to the ground, almost fainting.

"Sir, I'm sorry, I really can't pull it anymore." After a while, Ji Chang turned his head to look at Jiang Ziya, indicating that he really couldn't pull it anymore.
