Chapter 128
Time flies, three days later.
With the arrival of Xibohou Jichang, Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu and his son Jiang Wenhuan, Nanbohou E Chongyu and his son Eshun, Beibohou Chonghou Hu and his younger brother Chongheihu and his son Chongyingbiao all gathered together.
In Chaoge City.
The Marquises from all directions gathered together, and the city of Chaoge was naturally decorated with lanterns and colors to celebrate the arrival of the Marquises from all directions. However, under the peaceful conditions, there was also an undercurrent.
No one knows what Emperor Xin intended when he suddenly ordered the princes from all directions to come to Chaoge City.
What's even more surprising is that the four princes arrived one after another. Except when Di Xin came out to meet them once when they arrived at Chaoge City, they never appeared again. It was like a dragon that saw its head but not its tail. It was really shocking.
I wonder what he is busy with.
The Marquis of Sifang could not see Emperor Xin, so he wandered around Chaoge City, wanting to see how Chaoge was doing now.
It didn't matter if they just walked around, they suddenly discovered that the Chaoge City today was very different from the Chaoge City they remembered in the past.
The most obvious thing is the aroma of food that wafts out from every house in Chaoge City at noon and evening every day. After asking about it, they learned that the source of this aroma is called stir-fry, and the iron pot used for stir-fry is
, it was invented by Di Xin.
What attracts the most attention is the large area of reclaimed wasteland outside Chaoge City. Under the ox team led by the five-color sacred ox, the moral plow was used to its fullest extent, and countless wastelands were reclaimed into fertile soil.
, just looking at it makes people greedy.
The most curious thing is the water windmill. The huge windmill stands in the fields. The windmill rotates and grinds the grains. The large gourd on the windmill gear scoops up water from the river and irrigates the fields.
There, one vehicle is used for multiple purposes, and the originally dry land has become a fertile paddy field, where many farmers are busy planting and clearing weeds. This strange but busy scene cannot help but amaze them...
The most shocking thing is of course Lutai. The palaces and attics all look neat and uniform, and are extremely impressive. Of course, the immortals living there appear by chance, and their background is even more terrifying.
There are half-saints of the Phoenix clan like Kong Xuan,
Zhao Gongming, the top disciple of the outer sect, also has Qiong Xiao and Bixiao, the two fairies of the Three Immortals Island, as well as Li Jing and Zheng Lun, who are disciples of Zhenren Du'e, especially the one wearing a red bellyband and carrying a fire-tipped spear.
, the hot-tempered young boy is even more touching...
As for the most disturbing thing, there is no doubt that it is the Xuanfeng Army!
The Xuanfeng Army's military appearance and discipline were so strict that it made the Sifang Hous tremble. With so many people, they could actually speak out with a uniform voice, and when a command was given, everyone could follow the command and make corresponding actions. This is something under their command.
In the army, it is simply impossible.
Especially when they learned that the Xuanfeng Army was actually a group of slaves not long ago, their heads were buzzing for a long time before they believed it.
But there is no doubt that the changes that have taken place in Chaoge City are so many that it makes the Sifang Marquis and their followers feel that this seems to be a strange city.
In addition to these changes, the people's hearts in Chaoge City have also undergone great changes. When they came to Chaoge City in the past, the people living here were no different from the people in their feudal capital. But now, the people in Chaoge City
The residents have a kind of arrogance, as if they don't care about anything except Di Xin. But there is no way, these people in Chaoge City now do have such capital.
Even the old farmers who were holding whips and driving oxen to plow the fields looked indifferent when they were surrounded by the princes from all directions, and did not feel any great fear at all.
The appearance of these scenes made the Sifang Marquis feel mixed emotions. Some were happy and some were worried. The happy ones were naturally Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu and Beibohou Chonghou Hu. One of these two people's daughter is Queen Jiang, who is
Di Xin's father-in-law, Di Xin Qiang, was naturally happy that his daughter had a stable position in the palace; as for Chonghou Hu, he was Di Xin's die-hard younger brother. For the younger brother, naturally the greater his ability, the stronger his strength.
, the more he can benefit from it...
The Nanbohou E Chongyu and the Xibo Hou Jichang are naturally the worried families. These two families have disloyal intentions. The more prosperous and stable the scene in Chaoge City is, it means that their plan to conquer the world will be more difficult.
It's hard to do.
However, they really can't understand why so many changes have happened in Chaoge City in such a short period of time?
It feels like Di Xin is a completely different person!
"Father..."
After watching the Xuanfeng Army's military parade and returning to the post house, Boyikao secretly glanced at Ji Chang, who looked gloomy and worried, and asked tentatively.
"What's wrong?" Ji Chang woke up after hearing the sound and looked at Boyi Kao.
"I...I..." Boyikao hesitated, and after a little hesitation, he slowly said: "I have a bad premonition. Can our Xiqi power really defeat Chaoge City? From what I saw today,
One Xuanfeng Army officer is probably as good as three of our soldiers!"
In fact, Boyikao feels that even if one is worth three, it is actually a bit underestimated.
After all, when the war reaches the stage of brutal melee, a well-trained and disciplined army with just a few men can overwhelm a city.
He asked himself, the troops in Xiqi City who were trained by Ji Dan every day would never be able to do what the Xuanfeng Army did.
But he also knew that the reason why the Xuanfeng Army was willing to practice so hard and obey so hard was because as long as they got merit, they could transform from slaves to freedom, and maybe even to officials, and
Even if he dies, he can still enjoy the Fire Cloud Palace.
These are things they cannot give to the soldiers of Xiqi City, because they cannot offend the big slave owners in the clan. Of course, they do not dare to be too closely connected with the Human Emperor. For one thing, they are not the people of the world.
The emperor, Huoyun Cave will not help them; secondly, because they believe more in gods and heaven, if they are in too close contact with the human emperor's forces in Huoyun Cave, they may cause trouble from gods and heaven.
dissatisfied.
When Ji Chang heard this, he remained silent and the expression on his face changed.
"No matter whether it seems we can win or not, we have to do it! And the outcome of a war may not be determined by human power!"
After a long time, Ji Chang raised his head, looked at Boyikao, and chuckled.
The outcome of a war may not be determined by manpower? What is it? Heaven?
Boyikao looked at Ji Chang in confusion, wondering how he could say such words.
"I, Xiqi, must fight against the great merchants. This is our long-term destiny! Kao'er, if you want to become the master of Xiqi City in the future, then you must be prepared for this!"
At this moment, Ji Chang stared into Boyikao's eyes and spoke slowly, word by word.
Su Ming?!
Boyikao suddenly felt a little panicked when he heard Ji Chang's categorical words although he deliberately lowered his voice. However, he didn't know why Ji Chang gave such an inference.
"Remember, this is the long-cherished destiny of generations of people with the surname Ji!"
Ji Chang spoke word by word and warned in a deep voice, but deep in his eyes, there was a lingering look, as if he was recalling something long ago.
He remembered that it was the night when he ascended to the position of Xibohou. That night, he heard a voice in the dark telling him to gather strength and plan to one day replace Chaoge City with Xiqi City.
Become the master of this world.
In confusion, he asked who the voice was, and the voice only said one word: God!
From beginning to end, it was God who pushed Xiqi to do all of this, making them stand on the opposite side of Dashang.
God’s will cannot be violated!
All they can do is to fulfill the old father's wish like the most filial son of Heaven.
Even though this wish seems extremely elusive.
But at the same time, he also believes that since God wants to destroy the Great Shang, then it may not help him!
Therefore, war is not necessarily decided by human power!
