Chapter 263 Something seems wrong?

Wu Ji knew that although the Marquis was a mortal, he was able to calculate the innate Bagua, and his accuracy was even higher than those deduced by real immortals!

So when he saw this, he asked doubtfully, "My Lord, what have you figured out?"

Ji Chang chuckled and slowly put away the six jade tablets. He then said, "In my lifetime, I should have one hundred and eight sons, thirty-six of whom are biological sons and seventy-two of whom are adopted sons."

"One hundred and eight? But you, my Lord, only have one hundred and seven sons."

When Wu Ji heard this, he was stunned for a moment and asked again.

"Haha, the 108th adopted son is in this mountain!"

Ji Chang burst into laughter, then stood up and walked out.

Seeing this, Wu Ji hurriedly followed. At the same time, four hundred of the eight hundred soldiers quickly stepped out to guard behind Ji Chang.

Although it was raining heavily, Ji Chang was protected by the Free Army above his head and not a drop of water got on him.

He just took a step forward and soon walked into the forest.

But inside this forest, the thunder was even louder, with all kinds of rolling mines and green wood thunders shooting out in all directions, as if they were celebrating.

Seeing this, Ji Chang smiled even more and raised his hand and said, "Stop."

Wu Ji and his guards stopped immediately.

Then Ji Chang stepped into the thunder.

For a moment, Wu Ji was shocked, but then he looked surprised.

It turned out that the thunders did not hurt Ji Chang and allowed him to walk into the depths of the woods.

A moment later, Ji Chang came out with a smile on his face, holding a blue swaddling cloth in his arms.

As he walked out, the endless thunder disappeared instantly and the heavy rain outside the woods also stopped.

"My Lord, what is this?"

Wu Ji saw Ji Chang holding a swaddling cloth with what looked like a baby inside. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Could this be your 108th son, Lord Marquis?"

Ji Chang laughed heartily and said, "Indeed! This is the 108th son bestowed upon me by heaven and earth! This child was born from the thunder of heaven and earth, so I named him Lei Zhenzi!"

"Congratulations, Lord! You have a successful offspring!"

For a moment, Wu Ji was overjoyed, and suddenly knelt down and shouted to Ji Chang.

"Congratulations, Lord! You have a successful offspring!"

The four hundred soldiers also knelt down hurriedly and shouted at the same time.

Ji Chang just laughed heartily, then said, "Wu Ji, take Lei Zhenzi back to Xiqi. Tell Fa'er to take good care of him. I will be in poverty for seven years while I'm in Chaoge. Tell him not to come to Chaoge to look for me."

"ah!?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Ji was immediately shocked and asked, "How could the Marquis have suffered seven years of hardship? What would Xiqi do without the Marquis?!"

Ji Chang said calmly: "It's okay. I have been in trouble for seven years. To win the support of the people is the right way..."

Wu Ji opened his mouth to speak again, but Ji Chang raised his hand and said, "Alright, no need to say more. Take Lei Zhenzi and go quickly. Remember, make sure Fa'er doesn't come to Chaoge to look for me. Just tell Fa'er! Got it?"

How could Wu Ji understand Ji Chang's thoughts? Seeing Ji Chang's dignified face, he dared not say anything more and could only nod and say, "I understand!"

After saying that, he reached out and took Lei Zhenzi, then rushed back like the wind.

Seeing Wu Ji leave, Ji Chang waved his hand calmly and said, "Continue to Chaoge!"

Time passes.

The sun sets and the moon rises, the moon sets and the sun rises.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Li Qing got up very early today.

There is no way, because there is an annoying old guy who sent a letter in the middle of the night, saying that he will come to Chaoge City the next day!

If it were the King Zhou of the past, he would naturally not care about him.

But now it was Li Qing. In order to show his magnanimity as the emperor and his courtesy to the wise and humble, he had to get up early, go out of the west city, and welcome one of the four great kings of the Shang Dynasty.

King Xibo!

"Old guy... relying on his age... damn..."

Outside the West City, Li Qing sat on the dragon sedan with a calm expression, looking at the sky in the east which had not yet turned white, cursing in his heart.

However, he was not the only one who got up early. Other ministers, such as Bigan, Shang Rong, and officials from various departments also got up early, even earlier than the court session, and came to the west gate to wait.

Like the Duke of Dongbo, the Duke of Xibo was a descendant of meritorious officials during the founding of the Shang Dynasty, and their contributions were enormous, so they could each lead 200 princes.

Therefore, unless they come to pay homage to His Majesty during the grand court meeting held once every ten years, they generally will not leave their fiefdoms without permission.

Of course, if something really happened and they left their fiefdom and came to Chaoge, then as the Emperor of Man, I would naturally give them the proper courtesy.

The welcome before the city gate is the gift from the princes given by the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor, along with hundreds of officials, came to greet him personally, which naturally gave Ji Chang great face.

Although Ji Chang had his own plans when he came this time, he did not dare to let the officials think that he was arrogant. Therefore, only after Li Qing and the officials had waited for half an incense stick of time, a group of people appeared on the western avenue.

There were ceremonial guards rolling, the army in full formation, and a dark yellow color rising to the sky. It was the sedan chair of King Ji Chang of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Seeing this, Li Qing cursed inwardly again.

Soon, the procession of King Xibo arrived in front of Li Qing and others.

Ji Chang could not have imagined that the tyrannical and pleasure-seeking emperor would actually come to West City to wait for and greet him!

In his opinion, the arrival of Bigan, Shang Rong and others would be enough. The Human Emperor would definitely enjoy himself in the palace. He could also use this opportunity to build good relationships with several prime ministers and at the same time discredit the Human Emperor without leaving any trace.

But now that the Human Emperor has arrived in person, the imperial sedan chair is in front, and sitting on the imperial sedan chair is none other than the Great Merchant Emperor.

For a moment, he could only tremble the corners of his mouth, and he was the first to get off the car. He walked forward from a distance of a hundred feet. When he arrived in front of Li Qing, he bowed loudly and said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Xibo, Ji Chang, greets His Majesty! Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty! Long, long live His Majesty!"

Seeing this, Li Qing smiled.

Regardless of how sarcastic he was in his heart, he put on a hearty laugh, stood up and walked down from the imperial sedan chair. He came to Ji Chang, raised his hand and helped him up, and said with a smile: "Uncle, please get up quickly. You have come hundreds of thousands of miles to Chaoge, and you must be exhausted from the journey. Come, follow me back to the royal city. I will give you a good welcome!"

These words made Ji Chang stunned for a while.

Something seems wrong?

According to the will of heaven, the Human Emperor should be extremely stupid and tyrannical at this moment.

I had submitted a memorial to the emperor and scolded him before, so now that we meet, he should scold me directly.

Even if you don't scold me, you can't possibly give me a good face, right?

But now, he treats me with a friendly face and a smile on his face?

And most importantly, the ministers around him didn't seem to have any resentment?

After thinking for a moment, Ji Chang quickly bowed and said, "I am terrified..."
