Not necessarily... Li Ping'an really wanted to say that.

But he couldn't, because he said this from the standpoint of a 'known result'. For Ji Chang, Ji Kao and Ji Fa, they were all under tremendous pressure at the moment, but they were facing this situation individually.

Choices during times of stress are different.

Ji Chang asked the gods;

Ji Fa trains his troops and horses.

And Ji Kao...

"Yes, I want to choose one of you or the second child to take to Chaoge City overnight."

Ji Kao looked to one side and said calmly:

"I am the eldest son, and I think more than you all. I have been in Chaoge City for so many years, and I have been watching their cruelty. Their cruelty and insensitivity cannot be described.

"Have you ever heard the screams of human beings being gouged?

"Do you know what the merchant's favorite sacrifice is? It's the leader, that is, the nobles of various tribes and countries. The higher the status, the more qualified they are to become the servants of the merchant's ancestors, and they will be sent to the sky through sacrifices.

"The place where the protons live is very close to the street where people and animals are slaughtered...very close...

“Didn’t my grandfather get blisters like this?

"The king is afraid of us, isn't it because we are too strong? Behind the merchants' backs, we conquered Yu and conquered seven or eight small countries. They are all our Ji family members. We can unite together when necessary.

"Your Majesty just wants to ensure that we are loyal to the Great Shang. Then, we can enjoy the position of Xibohou. Among the Great Shang, one person is inferior to ten thousand people. Isn't this good? Isn't this wrong?"

Li Ping'an looked at Ji Kao: "So, brother, you gave in to Di Xin."

"It's not that I gave in," Ji Kao sighed, "I'm just doing the right thing."

"It's what you think is right."

"Yes, I think it is the right thing to do," Ji Kao smiled bitterly, "What will happen if we continue to fight against Dashang? Dongbohou is dead, Nanbohou has been killed, Jizhou Suhu is not a combination of merchants and soldiers at all.

Are our enemies going to let the Shang army come to attack us?"

Li Pingan was silent.

Ji Kao sighed: "I didn't give in, I just saw the situation clearly. It's impossible to keep Zhou Guo safe by fighting them."

Li Ping'an asked: "Then, cut off one of your arms, abolish your martial arts, and ask the king to let the Zhou people go?"

Ji Kao was silent.

Li Ping'an sighed: "Brother, if you were the king of Shang, would it be as simple as cutting off one of Zhou's arms after Zhou had seriously threatened him?"

Ji Kao didn't know how to answer.

Li Ping'an continued: "The reason why the Zhou Kingdom is as strong as it is now is actually because the Zhou people were willing to endure hardships. They spent hundreds of years cultivating fertile land in Xiqi, herding sheep and horses, and breeding exotic animals.

Produce heirs.”

"Without the initial support of the great merchants, how could the Zhou state be established?"

"The initial support from the Great Shang did not provide soldiers, horses, food and grass. They only sent people to ask the ancestors of the Zhou people to move over from the Qiang territory and ennoble them as princes."

Li Pingan said quickly:

"Then the Zhou Dynasty people guarded the border for the great merchants, captured people and animals, worked conscientiously for hundreds of years, and paid tribute regularly every three years.

"Who owes whom here?"

"But this world belongs to businessmen!"

"This world belongs to the human race!" Li Pingan's eyes remained calm, "Whoever respects every human race more, who cares more about fairness and justice, and whoever can push the world to develop in a better direction, God will help.

"

"Oh, what you said is more pleasant than anything else. Eight hundred princes surrendered to the Great Shang. Isn't this the destiny of the Great Shang?"

"I suddenly don't want to argue with you anymore."

Li Pingan shook his head:

"You have become deeply ingrained in what you think. Not only you, but also your father..."

Ji Kao smiled bitterly and said: "No matter what, I have no room to look back after what happened tonight. Come on!"

The sound of armor clashing sounded outside the tent.

More than a dozen guards swarmed in and stared at Li Pingan.

Li Ping'an looked at Ji Kao.

Ji Kao closed his eyes and said nothing.

The guards seem to be rushing forward!

Boom——

Suddenly there was a muffled sound of thunder on the tent!

The guards suddenly screamed and covered their ears, falling to the ground crying in pain.

Ji Kao was completely stunned.

Li Pingan shook his head, picked up a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, looked at Ji Kao and said slowly:

"Brother, you are a surrender faction and have nothing to do with me. But if you want to use me and my second brother as sacrifices in exchange for you becoming Xibohou in the future, then I will not agree.

"I'll take the second brother away and go back to Xiqi.

"No, don't you really believe that I have a good relationship with the gods?"

Ji Kao was stunned.

Li Ping'an raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and a beam of golden light suddenly shone above the tent.

Beams of golden light lit up throughout the Zhou people's camp, and the magical thing was that only Ji Kao could see these golden lights.

Ji Fa, Zhou Chen, and the beauties, attendants, and bodyguards brought by Ji Fa were all rising slowly in the golden light at this moment, as was Li Ping'an.

And above Li Ping'an's head, there was a fat middle-aged man in a big red robe standing with his hands behind his back. Under his feet was an auspicious cloud, and behind him were masses of light. The light and shadow illuminated Ji Fa's face.

The person who came was naturally Li Dazhi, who was called over temporarily by Li Ping'an.

Letting others come over to do this kind of thing would be detrimental to the wisdom of the Tao Master.

Li Dazhi cleared his throat, his voice was like thunder, making Ji Kao tremble all over.

"I am a god in the heavens, and I am here to protect the Son of God. You are so ignorant that you actually try to harm the Son of God. The thought of it makes you laugh."

Li Dazhi waved his hand, gathered all the golden lights, and turned around on the clouds to return to Xiqi.

Ji Kao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and rushed out in the direction where Li Dazhi left. Staring at Li Dazhi's back and looking at the golden light around Li Dazhi, his lips trembled and he shouted: "God! God!"

"

In the eyes of the beauties and guards around him, Ji Kao was just looking crazy at the sky in front of him.

It's deserted here, where is anyone?

Ji Kao sat helplessly on the ground, his eyes glazed over.
