After all, they had just been ambushed. Although Deng Zhong and the other two had been subdued by Ye Xiao, Bo Yikao decided to stop and rest so that the Jizhou army, which had suffered a great loss, would rest, and then decide how to place Deng Zhong and the other four.

I found a relatively spacious place on Jinjiling to set up a camp. Bo Yikao first resettled the frightened Su Daji, and then summoned Deng Zhong and the other four in the camp with Ye Xiao.

"The last general Deng Zhong (Xin Huan, Zhang Jie, Tao Rong) has met the immortal chief and the young master Ji."

As soon as Deng Zhong and the other four entered the camp, they respectfully greeted Ye Xiao and Bo Yikao. It was obvious that Ye Xiao's casual gesture had completely shocked them.

The four brothers knew very well that with the ability of their four brothers, the young immortal in front of them was no different from crushing a few ants. Therefore, they naturally did not dare to be at all presumptuous in front of Ye Xiao.

Looking at the four well-behaved generals, Ye Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

The reason why he kept the four people was because although these four people were defeated, they were still loyal and righteous, and were willing to surrender to the strong.

Since that's the case, Wen Zhong can take these four people for his own use, but he can't do it if he doesn't make any sense.

"Let's sit first."

He signaled Deng Zhong and the other two to sit down on both sides of the tent. Ye Xiao said to Bo Yikao: "Young Master Ji, you are so crowded and you can't say much. There are no other people here now, so you can tell me some things."

"This Jinjiling is already located at the gate of Xiqi. As the prince of Xibo, Mr. Ji was ambushed by someone in such a place. Mr. Ji must be aware of the Mao Ni among them?"

Hearing Ye Xiao say this, Bo Yikao's face was a little sad: "To be honest with Brother Ye, I know that my identity as a prince may attract jealousy from others, but I didn't expect them to do this. This time it was thanks to Brother Ye. If it weren't for Brother Ye, I would have died young, but if I had implicated my sister, I would probably not be able to rest even if I died."

"Mr. Ji." After hearing Bo Yikao say this, Ye Xiao also said: "After getting along during this period, I can also see that Mr. Ji is a kind-hearted person, but not everyone can influence him with kindness. After today's experience, I think Mr. Ji should be able to understand that sometimes a woman's kindness will only harm others and yourself."

Bo Yikao nodded silently.

Seeing this, Ye Xiao also knew that it was very difficult to change a person's personality in a short period of time. For Bo Yikao, who almost engraved benevolence and righteousness in his bones, it was already considered a success if he did not ask him to assassinate others, but only wanted him to be prepared for others.

He did not continue to say anything to Bo Yikao. Ye Xiao looked at the four generals Deng Zhong who were sitting aside honestly and said, "Although you had collected money to intercept and kill Mr. Ji, since you said that you would not go back on your word in the future and make meritorious service. Mr. Ji is also a kind person. As long as you take effect in the future, Mr. Ji will not take this little thing to heart today, so you can rest assured."

When Deng Zhong and the other two said that they were not afraid and expressed their loyalty to Bo Yikao.

After all, they failed to ambush and encountered such an unfathomable existence as Ye Xiao. It would be good to be able to save their lives and they were not qualified to talk about any conditions.

Seeing Deng Zhong and the other two performing well-behaved, Ye Xiao continued, "I heard you say before that the four of you brothers were in Huanghua Mountain. Now that you have decided to serve Mr. Ji in the future, there is no need to keep this Huanghua Mountain village. I just don't know how many people you have left in Huanghua Mountain, so it is not convenient to bring it here."

Upon hearing this, Deng Zhong hurriedly said, "Report to the Immortal Chief, the four of us brothers have about 10,000 people in Huanghua Mountain. This time, when we came to Jinjiling, because there were many people and easily exposed, we only brought three thousand people."

"Now that the four of us brothers have decided to surrender to Mr. Ji, the remaining people and horses must be brought over. Although it is difficult for a large group of people in Huanghua Mountain to sneak past the checkpoints in the territory of Dashang, most of the people in our village are from the mountains and wilderness. As long as we are broken into pieces, we will take some time to get around from the deep mountains and forests - this is how we bring these three thousand people."

Hearing Deng Zhong say this, Ye Xiao nodded and said lightly: "Since that's the case, you four brothers will go back to handle it. If there are any people who don't want to vote, don't force it. When you go back to Xiqi, as long as you report the name of Mr. Ji, someone will naturally place you. Go."

"The last general will receive the order!"

Deng Zhong and the other two retreated in response.

Ye Xiao looked at Bo Yikao who was sitting there silently and continued: "Mr. Ji, rest, please hurry back to Xiqi, there are still many things you need to deal with."

Bo Yikao smiled bitterly and sighed: "With my father in charge in Xiqi, what else should I deal with?"

Ye Xiao sneered and said speechlessly: "Since that's the case, why did this happen in front of Xiqi Gate today?"

Bo Yikao was speechless.

He didn't know why Ji Chang let this go.

If Ji Chang was dissatisfied with him and wanted other brothers to become the prince of Xibo, then Ji Chang could have completely stopped him from making him the prince at the beginning.

But Ji Chang did make him the crown prince.

In this case, why did Ji Chang let other brothers fight with him?

Bo Yikao couldn't figure it out.

But no matter what, I have to go back to Xiqi first.

............

Xiqi City.

A simple mansion.

How simple can this mansion be?

I can only say that any mansion with a slightly more generous wealthy family is probably more luxurious than this mansion.

But such a mansion was from Ji Fa, the second son of Ji Chang, the Sibohou.

Speaking of today's Xiqi and Xibohou Jichang's core figures, Ji Fa's mansion can be said to be the simplest of these people. Even Xibohou Jichang, who is known as virtuous, and Xibohou Prince Ji Kao, who is known as kind-hearted, their mansions are not as simple as Ji Fa.

This also leads to the fact that Ji Fa's simple name is well known in Xiqi.

At this moment, in this mansion, a young man in robes was reading and practicing calligraphy there calmly.

The boy looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, with agile figure, a heroic face, and a very extraordinary look. He was the second son of Xibohou, Ji Fa.

I have to say that Ji Fa is known for his simplicity.

Not only did he live in a simple place, but his clothes were also very simple, made of linen. Apart from the differences in style, the materials were similar to those worn by ordinary people, without any silk at all.

So, from these aspects alone, Ji Fa is an excellent heir who is not inferior to Ji Kao.

After all, who doesn’t like the heir who is hard-working and hardworking?

It is precisely because of this that although Ji Kao was the prince of Xibo in recent years, Ji Fa's reputation among the people of Xiqi has always been relatively low.

Of course, these things are just deceiving ordinary people. Anyone with a political perspective can see this kind of operation of Ji Fa - is this obviously a way to raise hope?

There is something to say, reason, pure passers-by. If someone hadn't been secretly promoting it, who would have cared about what you, the second son of Xibo, would have worn what you live in?

You are not the Prince of Xibo!

However, Ji Fa's simple name is well known in Xiqi, and it is obvious that someone is secretly pushing it.

So who could it be?

It can't be that Ji Kao despised his younger brother for being too low in reputation and was not threatening him, so he helped him?

Since Ji Chang has already made Ji Kao the prince of Xibo, he naturally will not slap himself in the face and secretly supports Ji Fa - at most he will just turn a blind eye to some of Ji Fa's actions.

So, the truth is already very obvious. This is Ji Fa's self-discipline, first making a show by himself, and then sending someone to secretly promote it, so as to cultivate his reputation among the people so that he will not become a little transparent, and thus retain a little chance to regain the position of prince from Ji Kao.

Of course, this is just a single word. Maybe you can judge a gentleman by the heart of a villain?

Maybe Ji Fa just wants to live a good life but likes to experience a poor life?

Maybe no one is pushing these things behind the scenes. It was just that some people witnessed Ji Fa’s simple actions repeatedly by chance. Then they were deeply moved and consciously helped promote them?

Is everything possible?

After saying so much, Ji found that he was studying and practicing calligraphy at home.

And at this moment, an old servant hurriedly ran in from outside - here I would like to add that Ji Fa not only lived in a simple place, but also had no young and beautiful maids in the whole mansion to serve him, but only an old servant was given to him.

"Second Young Master, something is wrong!"

The old servant trotted into the mansion and saw Ji Fa who was studying and practicing calligraphy. He hurried over.

"Why are you panic?" Ji Fa glanced at the old servant slightly, and said slowly: "What's the matter? Can the sky collapse?"

Perhaps because he was infected by Ji Fa's indifference, the old servant finally was not so anxious, but there was obviously a little urgency: "Second Young Master, the sky has not collapsed, but the eldest Young Master is back!"

Bang!

There was a dull sound on several tables, but Ji Fa's hand shook and he knocked over the inkstone.

He glared at the old servant fiercely and scolded in a deep voice: "Why are you panic when you are back? We haven't seen each other for so long. Now that the eldest brother is finally back, you should be happy!"

Hearing Ji Fa say this, the old servant wanted to speak but stopped, and finally bowed his head and apologized: "Yes, the second son, it's the old slave who is reckless."

Taking a deep breath, Ji Fa put down the book in his hand, walked to the old servant, and said lightly: "Don't be distracted. We have not left any evidence, nor have we had any direct contact with those wastes. If you accidentally reveal any flaws, I'll ask you."

Upon hearing this, the old slave quickly lowered his head to show that he understood.

"Just understand." Ji Fa said lightly: "Brother is back, this is a great joy. Let's go and have a look."

After saying that, Ji Fa walked directly outside. Seeing this, the old servant hurriedly followed.

Xibo Marquis Mansion.

It should have been a great joy to go out and the long-lasting Crown Prince Xibo returned safely today, but the atmosphere in the Xibo Hou's Mansion was slightly depressed at this moment.

There was no way. I heard that Bo Yikao was back, and the atmosphere inside and outside Xiqi was still quite warm. However, when I saw that the soldiers of Jizhou who were accompanying the guards were all stained with blood, many of them were covered with injuries. It was obvious that they had experienced a fierce battle, and the atmosphere inside and outside Xiqi was immediately wrong.

On the Marquis' Mansion.

The lord of Xiqi, Xibohou Ji Chang, the senior official San Yisheng, and the general Nangong Shi, these important figures in Xiqi gathered together at this moment.

In addition to them, Bo Yikao, the Crown Prince of Xibo who had just returned to Xiqi, was also present.

As for Ye Xiao, he rejected Bo Yikao's proposal to take him to see Ji Chang, and asked Bo Yikao to deal with these destructive matters first.

Looking at Bo Yikao, who was sitting aside with a dusty face, Xibo Hou Ji Chang also asked knowingly: "My son, didn't the Marquis of Jizhou send troops to escort you back? How could it be like this? Could it be that the Shang Dynasty wanted to turn against me, Xiqi and intercept my son?"

However, although he asked clearly, Ji Chang was Ji Chang after all, and his acting skills were still good. At least when he said this, he looked sincere and could not find any trace of the performance.

But as the saying goes, knowing the son is the father, and it is not much different.

A little bitterness arose in his heart, but Bo Yikao still respectfully said to Ji Chang: "When you say that, the Marquis of Jizhou did send troops to escort the child back, and the child was not ambushed in the Shang dynasty. The place where the child was ambushed was in Jinjiling."

As soon as Bo Yikao said this, several powerful figures in the hall, whether they were Ji Chang, San Yisheng, or Nangong Shi, were shocked.

Of course, it is unknown how true or false this surprise is.

Among them, Ji Chang even slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Who is it that dares to ambush my son at the gate of Xiqi?"

Looking at Ji Chang who was angry, Bo Yikao said lightly: "Father doesn't need to be angry. Fortunately, he has the blessing of a master. Both the Child and Daji's sister are safe and sound. Child also asked the person who ambushed Child, and only said that someone paid to them to ambush Child there. Because those people just sent someone to send money and did not show up, it is impossible to figure out who spent money to ambush Child for the time being."

"It's really outrageous!" Ji Chang got angry again, but since Bo Yikao comforted him, he said that he would not pursue the matter for your sake.

He said, "Since that's the case, then leave this matter to my son. Be sure to find the murderer who wants to harm my son!"

Bo Yikao nodded, not surprised.

Ji Chang can let others take action against him, but if he fails to succeed, the person who takes action will naturally have to pay the price.

That's why Ji Chang handed over the right to pursue him.

If you insist on saying anything, Ji Chang should be considered impartial, right?
