Chapter 124 Xibo Hou, this is the meatball that Gu carefully prepared for you! (3)
Chapter 124: Xibohou, these are the meatballs I carefully prepared for you! (3)
"The king's edict is passed on: Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, will immediately enter the palace to meet the king. There must be no mistake!"
After hearing this, Ji Chang hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "The guilty minister accepted the order and asked you to tell the king that the guilty minister should cleanse himself and go to the palace to meet the king immediately!"
"Xibohou, you have to hurry up, don't keep the king waiting for too long!"
After the visitor finished speaking, he quickly left, but Ji Chang was kneeling there motionless. If you look carefully, you will find that he was fiddling with the weeds in his hands, as if he was calculating something.
Sudden,
Ji Chang's body suddenly stiffened, and then he burst into tears and said, "Bo Yi Kao, my son!"
Half a day later,
After washing up and suppressing his grief, Ji Chang came to the imperial garden, which was also the pavilion where Nan Bohou was killed.
He looked at Di Xin's back, tried to calm himself down, and then said feebly: "The guilty minister Ji Chang has met the king!"
Di Xin didn't even look back after hearing this and said, "The Lord Xibo is here and I have kept you in isolation for seven years. Do you have any complaints?"
"I dare not!"
After hearing this, Di Xin threw away the plaything in his hand, turned to look at Ji Chang and asked: "Xi Bohou, what happened to what you speculated?"
Ji Chang hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the guilty minister is good at calculating. It is just a boast of some flatterers. In fact, the guilty minister is just an ordinary person. I hope the king will forgive me!"
"Yes, but your Xibo Hou Jichang is famous for his good fortune-telling and is well-known among the great merchants. I still don't believe it. I ordered you to make a fortune immediately and calculate whether this person will live or die today!"
As Di Xin said, two soldiers came up holding down a disheveled man. When he saw the other person's appearance clearly, Ji Chang's pupils shrank and his hands trembled violently.
The visitor is none other than his first disciple - San Yisheng!
Looking at San Yisheng kneeling there, Ji Chang's lips trembled. Although he didn't make any movement, he had already secretly used the acquired Bagua technique to calculate.
But no matter how he calculated, San Yisheng, who was clearly very close at hand, seemed to be covered by fog and couldn't see clearly at all!
Just then,
Shen Gongbao's cold voice sounded, and Ji Chang woke up instantly——
"Hou Xibo, the king has ordered you to perform a hexagram immediately to calculate whether this person will live or die today. Why are you still standing still!"
Wow!
The moment Shen Gongbao finished speaking, Ji Chang's hands trembled, and several copper coins fell to the ground with a crash. Ji Chang looked subconsciously, and his pupils shrank again.
The hexagram shows that San Yisheng, who was not in danger of death in the first place, will soon suffer the torture of Lingchi, who will be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts!
But Ji Chang was also an old fox. Under the gaze of Di Xin and Shen Gongbao, Ji Chang's expression did not change, but he knelt on the ground with a thud.
"The King's atonement, I really can't figure it out!"
Ji Chang knelt on the ground tremblingly, thinking about the scene shown in the hexagram. His heart was as sharp as a knife, but he did not dare to plead for mercy.
Because he knew that if he begged for mercy, not only would San Yi survive, but he would also die!
At this time,
Di Xin looked down at Ji Chang coldly: "I just want to ask you, will he die today?"
"The sinner... I don't know!"
Ji Chang was driven crazy by Di Xin. He knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "If he offended the king, he should be killed!"
"Then you should be killed!"
Di Xin continued to speak expressionlessly, and then looked at San Yisheng: "Originally, I didn't want to kill you. If Xibohou intercedes for you, I will naturally not kill you. But since he said I should kill you, then I will kill you."
Come on!"
At this time,
Shen Gongbao sneered and asked: "Your Majesty, how should I kill him? Behead him directly or execute him later?"
"Crack the car!"
Di Xin said calmly: "Let Fei Zhong and You Hun be imprisoned, and tell the world that this person bribed the ministers of the court and was punished by having his carriage broken apart!"
After hearing this, Shen Gongbao laughed ferociously and said loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
boom!
But after Ji Chang heard this, he suddenly looked at the copper coins on the ground. It was clearly stated before that San Yisheng would suffer Lingchi torture.
But looking at it now, it is shrouded in a layer of fog!
Just after San Yisheng was taken away, someone from the palace brought up an exquisite copper basin. A mouth-watering aroma spread out from the basin,
Xibohou, who was kneeling on the ground, shivered even more, because the strong shock and sudden sadness caused a huge flaw in his state of mind.
At this time,
Di Xin looked at Ji Chang again: "Xi Bohou, I am ordering you to make another hexagram to figure out what is in it!"
Ji Chang buried his head deeper after hearing this, with a look of sadness on his face, but he tried to calm himself and said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I really can't figure out the guilty minister, but smelling the aroma, it must be meat!"
"Haha... Xibohou, don't be nervous. I know that you are just tired of your fame, so I won't embarrass you. I have wronged you in the past seven years. These are the meatballs carefully prepared by Gu Ming. You will feel better after eating them."
Go back to Xiqi!"
Di Xin said as he helped Ji Chang up with his own hands, and said with a guilty look on his face: "Actually, Gu knew this seven years ago. If Xibohou had been really good at calculating, Dongbohou would not have been killed by the wolf monster seven years ago.
Already."
Speaking of this, Di Xinpi said with a smile: "Xi Bohou, are you right?"
"Your Majesty Mingjian, the guilty minister and Dong Bohou have been friends for many years. If the old minister is really as magical as the outside world reports, it is absolutely impossible for him to watch his old friend being killed!"
Ji Chang said with twitching corners of his mouth. At this time, his eyes looking at Di Xin were full of fear and uneasiness.
Because he vaguely felt that his current reaction was what Di Xin had expected!
really,
After hearing this, Di Xin nodded slowly and said harmoniously: "Xibohou is right, but Xibohou doesn't know that when Dongbohou died tragically, the queen fell into a coma because of the sadness, and she still can't let go of it!"
After saying that, Di Xin asked again: "Xi Bohou, do you understand this feeling?"
After hearing this, Ji Chang felt like he was mourning for his heir. After being speechless for a long time, he said: "I was once a son of a man, so I naturally understand!"
"Okay, Xibohou, hurry up and eat the meatballs that Gu has carefully prepared for you, and then go back to Xiqi. I heard that your sons are about to start a fight!"
Di Xin pinched his eyebrows and waved his hands and said, his words made Ji Chang's face even more ugly.
But Shen Gongbao on the side did not speak, he just stood watching the show with a smile!
At this time,
Ji Chang tried his best to stop his hands from shaking, and slowly opened the lid of the pot. When he saw ten meatballs inside, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he panicked and almost fell over!
Seeing the looks from Di Xin and Shen Gongbao, Ji Chang hurriedly explained: "Thank you, sinner, for your love!"
"Um!"
Di Xin nodded and said meaningfully: "Eat, you can leave after you finish eating. Only when you are full can you have the strength to leave. These meatballs are specially prepared for you alone!"
"Sin... I thank the king again!"
Ji Chang said with trembling lips, and at the same time with a face full of despair, he carefully took out a 'meatball' the size of an adult's fist from the copper basin...
Chapter completed!
