Chapter 558: Live and Die Together
Xianyu's eyes welled up with tears. After hearing what Jifa said, she quickly shook her head and sobbed, "I don't want my husband to die! My husband! Since the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven wants the position of wife, I will give it to her! I, I am willing to give up my position!"
When Jifa heard this, he reached out and hugged Xianyu in his arms.
His face was incredibly calm, but his voice was filled with emotion and melancholy as he spoke, "Yu'er, I'm content that you have such a heart. But how could this be so simple? The Emperor of Heaven's daughter is so overbearing that she won't tolerate me having any other wives or concubines. I could send away the other hundred women, but you are the one I truly love. How could I let you go? Forget it, forget it. Even if I die, I will never let that lowly servant succeed!"
"Husband!"
Xianyu burst into tears upon hearing this. She fell into Jifa's arms, sobbing for a while before saying, "Please divorce me! I, I am willing! Please divorce me!"
“How could this be possible!?”
But Ji Fa suddenly raised his voice and growled, "How can I do what that lowly maid wants!? Besides, even if you and I divorce, what will happen? Everyone in Xiqi knows about our relationship. If that lowly maid were to enter the mansion, wouldn't she be jealous? Then, wouldn't she turn against me, and Xiqi would suffer? In that case, I might as well fight to the death with her! I would rather die than let her get what she wants!"
Xianyu hugged Jifa tightly, and her crying voice gradually subsided. She slowly raised her head, looked at Jifa with tearful eyes, and said softly: "Husband, don't worry, I will never let anything happen to you."
Jifa glanced at Xianyu, a trace of pity flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then disappeared.
He whispered, "Yu'er, don't worry. You and I are husband and wife. Even if we die, we will die together!"
After saying that, he kissed Xianyu on the lips.
Xianyu also responded passionately and enthusiastically.
An hour later, the sky gradually brightened. Jifa sat on the edge of the bed with a determined expression, allowing Xianyu, whose clothes were disheveled and her face was flushed, to tidy up his clothes.
Xianyu gently dressed Jifa in his robe and boots, then said, "My husband, it's dawn."
"Um!"
Ji Fa nodded and said calmly: "Yu'er, you stay here peacefully. I will deal with that lowly maid myself, but I can't let her get what she wants!"
Xianyu also nodded slightly, and said with a forced smile: "You and I are husband and wife, we should live and die together..."
"right!"
Ji Fa gave a low growl, kissed Xian Yu again and said, "Yu'er, your husband is leaving!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
Xianyu watched Jifa walk out of the inner room and go outside, then she gently tidied up her clothes.
As she sorted things out, she whispered to herself, "My dear husband, I'd rather die than have you suffer any harm. Since that evil woman is so kind, what's wrong with me doing what she wants? But how can she ever get your love in her entire life? What a pathetic evil woman..."
Having said this, she put on her clothes neatly and elegantly, then took a long towel and threw it on the bed frame.
"This room belongs only to me... You evil woman, don't even think about taking it over..."
Looking at the bright light gradually rising in the east outside the window, Xianyu put her slender neck into the white scarf, thinking so in her heart.
"Husband, you must live well..."
Whack…
Jifa's figure suddenly slowed down by half a step, then recovered to normal, and continued forward with a calm expression.
The young marquis Ji Fa came back, and the news soon spread throughout the marquisate.
Ji Chang immediately summoned Ji Fa to the Marquis's Mansion. He wanted to ask what Ji Fa was doing and why he disappeared for two days without any reason!
The inner hall of the Marquis’s Mansion.
Those who can be here are basically important people in Xiqi.
For example, the Four Sages, the Eight Steeds, as well as a group of dignitaries, generals, and immortals.
Among them, Baliming was appreciated by Ji Chang and was directly transferred from the county magistrate surnamed Xu to the central Xiqi, becoming a respected guest official of the immortal family.
There were about twenty people in the inner hall. Ji Chang sat at the top seat, and the others sat on both sides.
Ji Fa walked in with a calm expression. He went straight to Ji Chang and knelt down, lifting his robe and saying, "My son Ji Fa, I pay my respects to my father."
"Fa'er, the battle on the front lines is intense. That evil king broke through Qishan Pass and massacred hundreds of thousands of civilians to vent his anger. How could you have disappeared for two days without any reason? What have you been doing these past two days?!"
Ji Chang looked at Ji Fa who was kneeling on the ground below, with anger flashing in his eyes.
His son was really being unreasonable. As the Holy Son who replaced him in supervising the war, he did not establish an image on the front line, but disappeared for no reason. He simply did not know the seriousness of the matter!
Ji Fa was frank and said, "Of course my son didn't disappear for no reason, but went to seek reinforcements."
"Reinforcements?"
Ji Chang and his ministers all looked puzzled. Where would the reinforcements come from?
Ji Fa said calmly, "The matter was urgent, and I didn't have time to report it to you. This is my fault, but I feel that this small mistake is insignificant compared to the support I received."
"What kind of reinforcements are they? Have you been looking for a hidden powerful being these past two days? Or what?"
Ji Chang frowned slightly and asked slowly.
Ji Fa said: "My son has been to the Heavenly Palace these two days."
"Heaven?"
Everyone was stunned. What happened in Heaven? What did the affairs of the human world have to do with Heaven?
Ji Chang frowned and asked, "Fa'er, did you go to the Heavenly Palace to ask for help?"
Ji Fa nodded and stood up while saying, "It's not that my son is going to ask for help, but that the Heavenly Court wants to join our army to attack Shang."
"What does the expulsion of a tyrant from the human world have to do with the Heavenly Court? Could it be that the Jade Emperor wants to intervene?"
Zhou Gongdan, one of the four sages, asked in confusion.
Ji Chang also nodded, but did not speak.
Ji Fa laughed and said, "It is fate that makes it so. Tyrants are foolish and cannot be tolerated by the human world. With such great merit, it is normal for the Jade Emperor of Heaven to want to get some of it."
"He is the Emperor, in charge of the affairs of heaven. How can he interfere in the affairs of the human world?"
Zhou Gongdan frowned, very puzzled.
Since the establishment of the human race and the emergence of the Human Emperor, the Emperor of Heaven could no longer govern the affairs of the world.
Now the Jade Emperor suddenly wants to join forces with Xiqi to fight against the foolish Human Emperor? This is not a good sign.
Ji Fa smiled bitterly for a moment and said, "The Three Sovereigns of Heaven, Earth, and Man are mentioned together, each with their own responsibilities. However, the Human Emperor is now incompetent, and his subordinates are all vicious villains who follow him in great numbers. Our Xiqi forces are really weak. Now that the Heavenly Emperor is willing to send troops to help us, and to join our Xiqi in conquering the tyrant, why not?"
Everyone looked thoughtful as they listened.
Ji Chang nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked, "No conditions? Are you sending troops to help us for nothing?"
Ji Fa said calmly, "Conditions? Of course there are. The Emperor wants me to marry his sixth daughter, Long Ji. I thought about it and agreed."
"What!?"
As soon as Ji Fa said this, everyone in the room was shocked!
