The King of Fortune

Chapter 235 The King's Compromise
In the palace, Ji Fa met the Antarctic Immortal and Jiang Ziya. He knew the identity of the Antarctic Immortal, and treated the Antarctic Immortal with courtesy and respect in his words.It was Jiang Ziya who was left aside coldly by Ji Fa.

Jiang Ziya had expected Ji Fa's attitude a long time ago, so he was not angry. As long as the plan was successful, the king's attitude towards him would immediately change drastically.

The Nanji fairy gave Jiang Ziya a wink, Jiang Ziya cupped his hands, and said to Ji Fa: "My lord, I am ashamed of my trust in you. After such a long time, I still cannot retreat from the enemy. I am deeply ashamed."

These words were from Jiang Ziya's heart. Before Han Rong came to Xiqi, Ji Fa really had nothing to say to him.

Ji Fa said lightly: "Father Xiang, I can't blame you for this. After all, you are old and your energy is not as good as before."

When Jiang Ziya heard this, his nose was almost out of breath, and the king was insinuating that he was useless.The once majestic Xiangfu, for his own sake, is really useless. He collected himself, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said calmly: "My lord, the old minister is incompetent. Here, I am willing to support you to strike a truce with the court. "

Ji Fa cheered up, and hurriedly said: "Father Xiang has figured it out, and is willing to make peace with the court."

Jiang Ziya, who had always talked about advancing eastward, suddenly changed his temper, which surprised and delighted Ji Fa.

Jiang Ziya said: "Your Majesty, those who know practical things are outstanding. Although the veteran is old, he is loyal to the King, and he will spare no effort to support things that are beneficial to the people of Xiqi."

"Okay, Gu is very relieved to have Xiangfu's words. It is not because Gu is afraid of the court, but because of the consideration of the people of Xiqi, he has to make this decision. Fortunately, Xiangfu understands Gu."

Ji Fa was overjoyed. Jiang Ziya was a representative figure of Chanjiao in the world. Once he supported his decision, the internal problems of Xiqi would be solved, and the next step was to negotiate with the imperial court.

At this moment, Ji Fa's troubles caused by the begging letter were swept away, and he felt like seeing the moon through the clouds and mist.

Seeing Ji Fa's reaction like this, Jiang Ziya felt very uncomfortable. Although he had thought of retiring from his old age and returning to his hometown before, it was a last resort.And Ji Fa is one of the four princes, he has always been ambitious, but he is so happy because of the surrender.

Can such a ruler really replace King Zhou and establish a brand new dynasty?
"Your Majesty, King Zhou asked you to hand over Xiqi City. Regarding this matter, I don't know how you decided."

Although he was disappointed in his heart, Jiang Ziya did not dare to neglect what Ran Deng had told him.In any case, as long as Han Rong is successfully eliminated, helping Ji Fa regain his ambition is only a matter of course.

When this matter was mentioned, Ji Fa's smile froze, as if someone had poured cold water on his newly born interest. That feeling was not to mention depressing.He calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Xiqi City is the foundation of Xiqi City, and it must not be handed over to Han Rong. However, if Gu does not hand over the city, I am afraid that Han Rong will not let it go. Give two or three cities to Han Rong and let him withdraw his troops."

This was something that Ji Fa, Zhou Gongdan, and San Yisheng decided after repeated discussions. Xiqi's national power is strong, and even if it cedes a few cities, it will not be able to shake the country's foundation.

But Jiang Ziya said: "Your Majesty, if it were someone else, this might be possible. But Han Rong, the old minister has been fighting with him for a year. This man has always followed his word and killed decisively. He wants Xiqi City. Your Majesty I'm afraid he won't agree to change it to another city."

"Then what to do, we can't really hand over Xiqi City."

Ji Fa's heart sank, and deep sorrow once again shrouded his brows. Giving up Xiqi City was undoubtedly cutting his flesh with a knife. Thinking about it makes people feel heartbroken.

Jiang Ziya said seriously: "Your Majesty, there are only two ways."

Before coming to the palace, Jiang Ziya was still a little apprehensive, worried that he would not be able to convince Ji Fa, but he offered to cede the city and let Han Rong retreat.In Jiang Ziya's view, it is not difficult to force Ji Fa to give up Xiqi City.

Once a person makes the worst choice, he will attach some conditions to the choice, and the other party will accept it.

Like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, Ji Fa hurriedly said, "What can I do?"

"First, gather the people in the city and invite Han Rong to fight. If he wins, the siege will be over; if he loses, the consequences will be unimaginable. How to make a decision depends entirely on the king's sage."

"The first one doesn't work, so hurry up and talk about the second one."

Ji Fa vetoed it without even thinking about it, just joking, how many times Jiang Ziya has suffered defeats in succession, and now the morale of the soldiers in the city is not high, leaving the city at this time is no different from sending him to death.

Jiang Ziya continued: "Second, we can only give up Xiqi City and let Han Rong retreat."

Ji Fa trembled all over, and lost his voice: "Is there no other way?"

Jiang Ziya sighed: "Your Majesty, according to the crisis that Xiqi City is facing, there are only two ways to go. The old minister is ashamed and cannot solve the problems for the King."

"This matter is of great importance, let Gu think about it."

Ji Fa said in a daze.

Jiang Ziya nodded, quietly waiting for Ji Fa to make a decision, while Nanji Xianweng remained silent, as if all this had nothing to do with him.But without him, Jiang Ziya couldn't see Ji Fa at all, so why did the two have a deep talk.

……

The two came out of the palace and returned to Xiang Deng's mansion to report to Ran Deng.Seeing that Ji Fa agreed to hand over Xiqi City, Ran Deng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then waited for Han Rong to enter the Weng, like a hunter, carefully setting traps for the prey.

"The Antarctic Immortal, I still need you to go to the Bajing Palace and ask the Elder Master to borrow one or two magic weapons, which will be useful at that time."

Although Zhun made a move, the purpose of Ke Zhun's trip was to deal with Kong Xuan.There are still many capable people and strangers around Han Rong. He has many magic weapons, especially the magic bow, which is quite powerful, so he has to guard against it.

And with the real Du'er on the list, his soul-absorbing bag may also fall into Han Rong's hands.

Nanji Xianweng nodded. When he left Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun had already confessed that if he needed help, he could go to Bajing Palace to find Lao Tzu.

As soon as the Antarctic fairy left, Jiang Ziya asked Ran Deng: "Teacher, what do you need my disciples to do?"

Ran Deng smiled and said: "You don't have to do anything, the next step is to resign from office to Ji Fa and go back to seclusion, and show Han Rong a play to show my attitude of elucidating teachings, otherwise, with this person's vigilance, I'm afraid it won't happen." Easy to be fooled!"

Jiang Ziya was startled for a moment, then understood, and said joyfully, "Teacher is wise!"

"However, you have to wait for Ji Fa to send envoys to reach a cession agreement with Han Rong before you resign and go back to hiding. Otherwise, it's too early, and I'm afraid you will startle the snake."

Ran Deng had a very clear idea of ​​this plan, and he even expected Han Rong's reaction.

Jiang Ziya nodded, he was very optimistic about the arrangement of lighting the lamps. It seemed that with such a careful plan, Han Rong might be doomed this time no matter how smart he was.
