Prehistoric: Lord of the Nine Heavens at the Beginning, the Mythical Kunpeng

Chapter 296 Ji Chang made a drunken gaffe

When Fei Zhong asked, Ji Chang didn't hide anything.

While gently flexing and stretching his fingers, Ji Chang spoke slowly: "It can probably last twenty-eight years."

Fei Zhong and You Hun pretended to be sad and continued to pour wine into Ji Chang.

Ji Chang thought that Chengtang's world was about to perish, and he couldn't help but feel sad. He drank a lot more wine until his glass was dry.

Fei Zhong and You Hun were also overjoyed to see Ji Chang continuing to drink.

Just waiting for Jichang to drink too much, Tao Jichang said a few words that were unfavorable to Chengtang, so that he could go to King Zhou to give him a mission.

Fei Zhong and You Hun asked again: "Master Hou, can you tell how long we two can live?"

Ji Chang was already a little drunk at this time, and he didn't even think about it. Fei Zhong and You Hun were setting a trap for him, and he told them a divination honestly.

After a long time, Ji Chang raised his head and looked at Fei Zhong and You Hun, his face full of doubts.

"My lords, your death is strange."

"People's lives and deaths are all determined. Some die of illness, and some die of swords. But how come you two adults froze to death?"

After hearing this, Fei Zhong and You Hun couldn't help laughing and continued to persuade Ji Chang to drink.

When Jichang was completely drunk, Fei Zhong asked Jichang again: "Master Hou, have you ever thought about how you died?"

Ji Chang was confused and said that he died of old age.

Fei Zhong and You Hun saw that Ji Chang had drunk too much and expected that they would not be able to extract any valuable information anymore, so they told Ji Chang that they had official business at court and needed to go back.

Fei Zhong and You Hun returned to Chaoge City and immediately went to meet King Zhou.

King Zhou asked how Ji Chang was doing, and Fei Zhong and You Hun explained the conversation they had just had with Ji Chang in detail.

After hearing this, King Zhou became furious.

"This damn old man, I kindly let him go back to China, but he actually said that my empire is about to end?"

"What else did he say about me?"

Fei Zhong and You Hun saw that King Zhou was furious and hurriedly continued to remove the ashes: "Ji Chang also said that the country will be destroyed within twenty years at most, and your majesty will not have a happy death."

King Zhou was so angry that he screamed.

"Have you ever asked this old man how he died?"

Fei Zhong and You Hun replied that Ji Chang said that he died of old age.

After hearing this, King Zhou was even more furious, thinking that Ji Chang was cursing him.

So the guards called Chao Tian in.

Chao Tian went to court to see King Zhou. King Zhou ordered Chao Tian to lead his troops to capture Ji Chang and behead him in public.

After Ji Chang got on his horse, he also realized that he had made a mistake and quickly ordered his men to leave quickly to avoid a long night and many dreams.

However, before going very far, Ji Chang realized that when he arrived, he had a fortune telling that he would be imprisoned for seven years.

Now King Zhou has let him go, and the results of his fortune-telling are not in line with him.

It was expected that Fei Zhong and You Hun were causing trouble in the middle, and they regretted it.

At this moment, Chao Tian came galloping over on a fast horse. When he saw Ji Chang, he directly said that King Zhou asked him to go back to Chaoge City again because he had something important to do.

Ji Chang stood on his horse, cupped his hands with Chao Tian, ​​and said, "General Chao, I understand."

Then, Ji Chang called his generals over and told them to return to Xiqi quickly. He would be able to go back in seven years.

In the past few years since I was away, I asked my eldest son Boyikao to listen to his mother and unite his brothers and sisters to prevent war from happening in Xiqi.

After saying that, Ji Chang mounted his horse and returned to Chaoge City.

Huang Feihu heard that Ji Chang had returned to Chaoge City and knew that something must have happened.

He quickly contacted several veterans, went to the Meridian Gate, and met Ji Chang. Huang Feihu hurriedly asked why Ji Chang left and returned.

Ji Chang said that King Zhou had summoned him and he didn't know what was going on.

At this time, someone from the palace came to the Meridian Gate and said that King Zhou had summoned Ji Chang.

Ji Chang could only follow.

When they arrived at the main hall, King Zhou pointed at Ji Chang and cursed: "Old man, I kindly let you go back to Xiqi. You don't think about how to serve the country. Instead, you confuse the people and insult the emperor with your evil words. What else can you say now?"

After hearing this, Ji Chang knew that he must have been tricked by Fei Zhong and You Hun, and he couldn't help but deeply regretted it.

King Zhou then asked: "Come, if you calculate another hexagram for me now, what will happen to my world?"

Ji Chang already knew that King Zhou wanted to kill him in the name of fortune telling, so how could he dare to say anything?

King Zhou then said: "You said that I would die an untimely death, and you also said that you would die of old age. Isn't this an insult to the emperor? What is it?"

"Come here, drag Ji Chang out, behead him in public, and see if he can still live a long life?"

Several guards rushed up and tried to drag Ji Chang out of the Meridian Gate.

Before the guards could drag Ji Chang out of the hall, Huang Feihu rushed in with several veterans.

"Your Majesty, Ji Chang cannot be killed. We have a memorial."

King Zhou saw only a few relatively prestigious ministers in the court, and it was not easy to offend so many people at once, so he could only wave his hand and ask the guards to wait.

Huang Feihu knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, you have forgiven Ji Chang's sins and allowed him to return to Xiqi. The fortune telling has been around since the time of the sage Fu Xi, and it is not made up by Ji Chang."

"If it's not accurate, it means there's something wrong with the fortune-telling method. If it's accurate, it means Ji Chang is an outspoken gentleman. No matter what, Ji Chang shouldn't be killed."

King Zhou thought for a while, but was still unwilling to give up the opportunity to kill Ji Chang, so he could only continue to find reasons.

"Shouldn't he be killed for slandering the emperor because of his knowledge of sorcery?"

Bigan stood up and admonished: "Ji Chang has always had a good reputation and managed Xiqi in an orderly manner. Why not let Ji Chang do a divination now to see if it is accurate."

"If it's accurate, we'll let Ji Chang go. If it's not, we'll kill him. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

King Zhou thought, so many ministers were interceding for Ji Chang, so he wanted to kill Ji Chang by force today, lest many ministers would not accept it, he could only nod.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you."

Immediately, King Zhou looked at Ji Chang and asked Ji Chang to make a fortune.

Ji Chang held a few coins in his hand, shook them, and was suddenly shocked.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Ancestral Temple will be on fire tomorrow!"

"We need to move the former emperor's ranking, otherwise, we may suffer losses."

King Zhou did not believe that the Ancestral Temple would be on fire.

But in order to find a reason to kill Ji Chang, he patiently asked Ji Chang: "You said that the Ancestral Temple is going to catch fire. Can you calculate when it will catch fire?"

Ji Chang pondered for a long time and said slowly: "It should be at noon."

King Zhou nodded with satisfaction and asked the guards to send Ji Chang to prison and wait until noon tomorrow before making a decision.

The guards pushed Ji Chang and left the hall.

Seeing that Ji Chang's life was temporarily saved, Huang Feihu and others also left the hall.

King Zhou thought for a moment and arranged for Fei Zhong and You Hun to inform the Ancestral Temple not to burn incense tomorrow and to take strict precautions.

After doing all this, King Zhou leaned on the dragon throne with satisfaction and thought to himself: "Ji Chang, I think you will not die this time?"
