Xiaojianxian of the prehistoric and wild

Chapter 523 522. Impartial? (four thousand)
After all, they had just suffered an ambush. Although Deng Zhong and the others had been subdued by Ye Xiao, Bo Yikao decided to stop and take a rest, so that the Jizhou Army, which suffered a lot of losses, could take a break and decide how to arrange them. Deng Zhong four people.

Finding a fairly spacious place on Jinji Ridge to set up camp, Bo Yikao settled the frightened Su Daji first, and then together with Ye Xiao summoned Deng Zhong and the others in the camp.

"The last general Deng Zhong (Xin Huan, Zhang Jie, Tao Rong) has seen the Immortal Chief and Young Master Ji."

As soon as Deng Zhong and the others entered the camp, they greeted Ye Xiao and Bo Yi respectfully. It was obvious that Ye Xiao had completely overwhelmed them by showing his hands casually.

The four brothers knew very well that with their four brothers' abilities, the young fairy elder in front of him wanted to kill them like crushing a few ants, so they naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Ye Xiao.

Looking at the well-behaved four generals, Ye Xiao also nodded in satisfaction.

The reason why he kept four people was because although these four people were fallen, they were still loyal and willing to submit to the strong.

That being the case, Wen Zhong can take these four people for his own use, but he can't for no reason.

"Sit down first."

After signaling Deng Zhong and the others to sit down on both sides of the tent, Ye Xiao said to Bo Yi, "Young Master Ji, there are too many people just now, so I can't say much. There are no other people here, so I can talk about some things. "

"This Jinji Ridge is already at the gate of Xiqi. Mr. Ji, as the heir of Xibohou, was ambushed and ambushed in such a place. Mr. Ji, who is so naughty, must be aware of it?"

Hearing what Ye Xiao said, Bo Yikao looked a little sad: "To tell you the truth, Brother Ye, I know that my status as the eldest son may attract the jealousy and hatred of others, but I didn't expect them to do this. This time It is thanks to Brother Ye, if there is no Brother Ye, my own death would be small, but if Sister Daji is implicated, even if I die, I am afraid I will not be able to rest in peace."

"Mr. Ji." Hearing what Bo Yikao said, Ye Xiao also said: "I can see that Mr. Ji is a kind-hearted person during this period of getting along, but not everyone can use benevolence. It's influenced. After today's experience, I think Mr. Ji should be able to understand that sometimes a woman's benevolence will only harm others and herself."

Bo Yikao nodded silently.

Seeing this, Ye Xiao also knew that it was very difficult to change a person's personality in a short period of time. For Bo Yikao, who almost engraved benevolence and righteousness in his bones, he was not asked to assassinate others, but only asked him to If you can raise your defenses against others, it is considered a success.

Did not continue to say anything to Bo Yikao, Ye Xiao looked at the fourth general Deng Zhong who was sitting on the side obediently, and said: "Although you received money to intercept and kill Mr. Ji, since you have said that you will be killed in the future." If you serve Young Master Ji, you will not go back on what you say when you commit crimes and meritorious deeds. Young Master Ji is also a benevolent person, as long as you work hard in the future, Young Master Ji will not take this little matter to heart today, so you can rest assured."

Hearing what Ye Xiao said, Deng Zhong and the others dared not even say it, and expressed their loyalty to Bo Yi Kao.

After all, they failed to ambush and met such an unfathomable existence as Ye Xiao, it would be good if they could save their lives, and they were not qualified to negotiate any conditions at all.

Seeing how well-behaved the four of Deng Zhong were, Ye Xiao continued: "I heard from you earlier that the four of you brothers fell grass in Huanghua Mountain. Now that you have decided to work for Mr. Ji in the future, the cottage in Huanghua Mountain is naturally There is no need to keep it. I just don’t know how many people you have left in Huanghua Mountain, so it’s inconvenient to bring them over.”

Hearing this, Deng Zhong hurriedly said: "Reporting to the Immortal, the four of us brothers probably have more than ten thousand people in Huanghua Mountain. This time we came to Jinji Ridge, because it is easy to be exposed because of the large number of people, so we only brought 3000 people."

"Now that the four of us brothers have decided to seek refuge with Young Master Ji, the rest of us must naturally be brought here. Although Huanghua Mountain is within the territory of Dashang, it is difficult for a large group of people to sneak over the checkpoint, but most of the people in our village are from the mountains and the wild. People, as long as they are broken down into pieces, they will be able to get around from the deep mountains and old forests after spending some time—that’s how we brought the 3000 people here.”

Hearing what Deng Zhong said, Ye Xiao nodded, and said lightly: "In that case, the four of you should go back and make arrangements. If anyone doesn't want to vote, don't force it. When you go back to Xiqi, just report With the title of Mr. Ji, someone will naturally arrange for you. Go."

"The last general takes orders!"

Deng Zhong and the others retreated in response.

Ye Xiao looked at Bo Yikao who was sitting there silently, and continued, "Young Master Ji, take a rest and go back to Xiqi quickly, there are still many things that need you to deal with."

Bo Yikao gave a wry smile, and sighed softly, "Xiqi has a father in charge, so what else do I need to deal with?"

Ye Xiao sneered, and said speechlessly, "Since that's the case, why did such a thing happen in front of Xiqi Gate today?"

Bo Yikao was speechless.

He didn't know why Ji Chang let such a thing go.

If it was said that Ji Chang was dissatisfied with him and wanted other brothers to become the heir of Xibo, then Ji Chang could have simply not made him his heir at the beginning.

But Ji Chang did make him his heir.

That being the case, why did Ji Changyou allow other brothers to fight with him?

Bo Yikao couldn't figure it out.

It's just that no matter what, we have to go back to Xiqi first.

Xiqi City.

A humble mansion.

How simple can this mansion be?

It can only be said that the mansions of rich households who are a little bit richer are probably more luxurious than this mansion.

But such a mansion belonged to Jifa, the second son of Xibohou Jichang.

It is said that in today's Xiqi, among the core figures of Xibohou Jichang's lineage, Ji Fa's mansion can be said to be the simplest among these people, even Xibohou Jichang, who is known as a virtuous man, and the benevolent The mansion of Ji Kao, the son of Xibo Hou, is not as simple as that of Ji Fa.

This also led to the fact that in Xiqi, Ji Fa's simple name is well known.

At this moment, in this mansion, a young man dressed in sackcloth is reading and practicing calligraphy in a leisurely manner.

The boy looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a vigorous figure and a heroic appearance. He looked quite extraordinary. He was the second son of Xi Bohou, Ji Fa.

It has to be said that Ji Fa deserves to be known for his simplicity.

Not only did he live in a simple place, but the clothes he wore were also very simple. They were entirely made of linen. Except for the difference in style, the materials were similar to those worn by ordinary people, and there was no silk at all.

Therefore, from these aspects alone, Ji Fa is an excellent heir not inferior to Ji Kao.

After all, who doesn't like an heir who is not greedy for enjoyment and can endure hardships and stand hard work?

It is precisely because of this that although Ji Kao has been the heir apparent of Xibo in recent years, Ji Fa's reputation among Xiqi people has never been low.

Of course, these things are also deceiving ordinary people. Anyone with a bit of political insight can see Ji Fa's operation - is this obviously a favor?

There is one thing to say, to be reasonable, a pure passer-by, if it weren't for someone's secret propaganda, ordinary people, who would care about what you, the second son of Xibohou, live and wear?
You are not the prince of Xibo!
But Ji Fa's reputation for simplicity is well known in Xiqi, and it is obvious that someone is secretly promoting it.

So who will it be?

It can't be that Ji Kao despises his younger brother's reputation is too low, and there is no threat to him, so help him?

And since Ji Chang had established Ji Kao as the heir of Xibohou, he would naturally not slap himself in the face, and then go to secretly support Ji Fa—at best, he would just turn a blind eye to some of Ji Fa's actions.

So, the truth is already obvious. This is Ji Fa's own self-deception. First, he put on a show, and then sent people to spread it secretly, so as to cultivate his reputation among the people, so that he would not become completely transparent, and then Reserve a chance to regain the position of son from Ji Kao.

Of course, this is just a family opinion.Maybe he judges the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?
Maybe Ji Fa just wants to live a good life and prefers to experience a life of poverty?
Maybe there is no one behind these things at all, but some ordinary people have witnessed Ji Fa's simple actions over and over again by chance, and then they were deeply moved and consciously helped to promote it?
Is everything possible.

Having said so much, Ji discovered that she was studying and practicing calligraphy at home.

But at this moment, an old servant hurried in from the outside - I would like to add here that Ji Fa not only lives in a simple place, but also wears simple clothes, and even there are no young and beautiful maids in the whole house Serving, usually an old servant is at his disposal.

"Second Young Master, something is wrong!"

The old servant ran all the way into the mansion, saw Ji Fa who was studying and practicing calligraphy, and hurried over.

"What are you panicking about?" Ji Fa glanced at the old servant slightly, and said unhurriedly, "Say something slowly, can the sky still fall?"

Probably infected by Ji Fa's indifference, the old servant finally stopped being so anxious, but there was obviously a bit of urgency: "Second Young Master, the sky is not falling, but Eldest Young Master is back!"

boom!
There was a muffled sound on the table, but it was Ji Fa who shook his hand and knocked over the inkstone.

He glared at the old servant viciously, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Brother, why are you panicking? We haven't seen each other for so long, and now that brother is finally back, you should be happy!"

Hearing what Ji Fa said, the old servant hesitated to speak, and finally bowed his head and apologized: "Yes, Second Young Master, the old servant was reckless."

Taking a deep breath, Ji handed down the letter in hand, walked up to the old servant, and said lightly: "Don't mess around, we haven't left any evidence, and we haven't had any direct contact with those trash. Turn back If you accidentally reveal any flaws, I'll take you as a questioner."

Hearing this, the old slave quickly lowered his head to show that he understood.

"It's good that you understand." Ji Fa said lightly, "Brother is back, it's a happy event, let's go, let's go and have a look."

After finishing speaking, Ji Fa walked directly outside. Seeing this, the old servant also hurriedly followed.

Xibohou Mansion.

It should have been a great happy event that the son of Xibohou who had been away for a long time returned safely today, but at this moment the atmosphere in Xibohou's mansion was a little depressing.

There is no way, I heard that Bo Yi came back from the exam, and the atmosphere inside and outside Xiqi was quite lively, but when I saw that the accompanying guards of Jizhou soldiers were all bloody, and many of them were wounded, it was obvious that they had experienced After a fierce battle, the atmosphere inside and outside Xiqi was suddenly not right.

Enter Hou Fu.

The Lord of Xiqi, Xibo Hou Jichang, Senior Doctor San Yisheng, General Nan Gongshi, these important figures in Xiqi all gathered together at this moment.

Besides them, Boyi Kao, the eldest son of Xibo Hou who had just returned to Xiqi, was also present.

As for Ye Xiao, he rejected Bo Yikao's proposal to take him to see Ji Chang, and asked Bo Yikao to deal with these messes first.

Looking at Bo Yikao who was sitting on the side with a dusty face, Xibohou Jichang also asked knowingly: "My son, didn't the Marquis of Jizhou send troops to escort you back? How could it be like this? Could it be that the Yin merchants wanted to fight with you?" I, Xiqi, turned my face and sent troops to intercept and kill my son?"

However, even though he asked the question knowingly, Ji Chang was Ji Chang after all, and his acting skills were good. At least when he said these words, he seemed to be sincere, and there was no trace of acting at all.

But as the saying goes, there is no better way to know a son than a father, and vice versa.

A bit of bitterness rose in his heart, but Bo Yikao still respectfully said to Ji Chang: "Returning to my father, the Marquis of Jizhou did send troops to escort the child back, and the child was not ambushed in Yin and Shang territory. The child was ambushed The location is in Jinji Ridge."

As soon as Bo Yikao's words came out, the powerful figures in the hall, whether it was Ji Chang, San Yisheng, or Nangong Shi, were all taken aback.

Of course, it is not known how much of this surprise is true or not.

Among them, Ji Chang jumped up at the table and shouted angrily: "Where is Fang Xiaoxiao, who dares to ambush my son at the gate of Xiqi?"

Looking at the angry Ji Chang, Bo Yikao said calmly: "Father, there is no need to get angry. Fortunately, thanks to the protection of an expert, the baby and sister Daji are safe and sound. The boy also asked the person who ambushed the baby, and he only said that someone paid them to stay here." Ambush the child there. Because those people just sent someone to send the money and did not show up, so it is temporarily impossible to figure out who paid someone to ambush the child."

"It's so unreasonable!" Ji Chang got angry again, but since Bo Yikao comforted him, he also said that he would not pursue it for the sake of your father.

He said: "In this case, then leave this matter to my son, and we must find the murderer who wants to kill my son!"

Bo Yikao nodded, not surprised.

Ji Chang can let others take action against him, but if he doesn't succeed, the person who takes action will naturally have to pay the price.

That's why Ji Chang gave him the right to investigate.

If you have to say it, Ji Chang should be considered impartial, right?
Ah.
