Chapter 311 Xibo Hou Jichang escapes

After Ji Chang came out of Youli, he returned to Chaoge City and thanked King Zhou for pardoning him.

As soon as he arrived outside Chaoge City, he saw Bigan, Jizi, Weiziqi and other officials standing at the gate of the city, waiting for him.

Ji Chang hurriedly saluted: "My lords, I haven't seen you for seven years. Thank you for still thinking of me. Now I'm out, thanks to you all."

Although Ji Chang was seven years older than seven years ago, everyone was still in very good physical condition. They couldn't help but feel happy for Ji Chang.

Ji Chang said goodbye to all the adults and came to Longde Hall.

At this time, King Zhou was in the Longde Hall. When he heard that Ji Chang was coming, he immediately asked someone to bring Ji Chang in.

Ji Chang, dressed in white, walked in with an unusually respectful attitude. He fell to the ground and bowed before him, calling him the guilty minister.

Seeing Ji Chang's humility, King Zhou remembered the news reported by Fei Zhong and You Hun that Ji Chang had prayed for him many times and was loyal to him in Youli, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Hou Xibo, I heard that when you were in Youli, you prayed for me and the country many times. I failed you. Now, I forgive you."

"Now, I will make you the Duke of Loyalty and Filial Piety, and go fight for me."

"Send two civilian officials and two military attachés to take you back to Xiqi."

"Ai Qing has suffered this time, how about we have a feast and celebrate in Chaoge City for three days?"

Ji Chang did not dare to refute King Zhou's intention, so he had to agree.

In the next two days, Ji Chang kept going around among various ministers, drinking and chatting with them.

On the second day, Ji Chang was walking on the road and saw a neatly-dressed army walking towards him.

Ji Chang asked hurriedly whose troops came.

They reported to Ji Chang that they were the men of King Wucheng Huang Feihu.

Ji Chang suddenly remembered that Huang Feihu had helped him many times when he was in trouble, and he couldn't help but immediately dismounted and saluted Huang Feihu.

Huang Feihu was also very happy to see Ji Chang.

Huang Feihu always respected Ji Chang's character, so he helped Ji Chang many times when he was in trouble.

Now that Ji Chang has come out, Huang Feihu is naturally overjoyed and invites Ji Chang to his home.

How could Ji Chang not listen?

When he arrived at Huang Feihu's home, Huang Feihu asked his men to prepare a banquet and then drink and talk with Ji Chang.

Not long after, Huang Feihu screen retreated and quietly told Ji Chang: "It is a great blessing that Xibohou is out of trouble today."

"But now, Your Majesty, favoring traitors, disobeying loyal ministers, and indulging in wine and sex are all signs of the country's ruin."

"What's more, he also concocted the punishment of burning with cannons and studied the punishment of 迿 basin, which was so unscrupulous that the whole world turned against him."

"Xianhou, you should not stay in the land of right and wrong for a long time. According to me, don't have any more banquets. Now, King Zhou doesn't want to kill you, so run out of the fifth pass and return to Xiqi."

After hearing this, Ji Chang knew that Huang Feihu was doing it for his own good. He had always been loyal to Cheng Tang, but he was imprisoned for seven years because of his dissent.

His son Boyikao was chopped into meat paste by King Zhou.

As for the old brothers, Jiang Hengchu and E Chongyu, they were also killed by King Zhou.

Now, if you want to protect yourself, just go back to Xiqi as Huang Feihu said.

I was in Xiqi and had soldiers, horses, money and food. Once King Zhou pressed hard, it would be better to rebel directly.

Thinking of this, Ji Chang was a little interested in Huang Feihu's idea, but he was also worried that he would not be able to let him out if he did not have clearance documents.

Huang Feihu patted his chest and assured Ji Chang: "As long as I am here, Xianhou can rest assured."

With that said, Huang Feihu took out the command arrow and bronze talisman and handed them to Ji Chang.

Ji Chang changed his clothes quietly and slipped out of the city overnight. Early the next morning, the people at the post house saw Ji Chang going out and not coming back all day and night, so they hurriedly reported to Fei Zhong and You Hun.

When the two treacherous ministers heard this, they realized that it was no small matter. Ji Chang was able to get out of trouble, and their contribution was not small.

If Ji Chang rebelled, King Zhou would definitely not spare them.

Thinking of this, Fei Zhong and You Hun were so frightened that they ran to report to King Zhou.

After King Zhou heard this, he was furious: "You two, didn't you say that this Ji Chang is very loyal, and you will worship him when he has nothing to do, and ask for good weather in the Shang Dynasty and peace for the country and the people?"

"Why did he let him feast for three days and run away on the second day?"

"If Ji Chang rebels in the future, you two will also be implicated."

When Fei Zhong and You Hun heard this, they were afraid of what was going to happen. They quickly knelt down and said to King Zhou: "Your Majesty, they say that you can know people but not their hearts. We have also been deceived by Ji Chang!"

"For the present plan, it is better to send people to capture Ji Chang and kill him directly. It will be over once and for all."

When Fei Zhong and Youhun heard that King Zhou was angry with them, they didn't care how much they had benefited from San Yisheng, so they hurriedly came up with a plan to capture Ji Chang and kill him.

How can a dead person rebel?

After hearing this, King Zhou nodded and immediately ordered Yin Pobai and Lei Kai to lead their troops to retrieve Ji Chang.

Although Ji Chang left early, he was a scholar and walked relatively slowly.

As he was walking, he saw the sky full of smoke and dust behind him, and he immediately realized that it was King Zhou who had sent troops to arrest him.

Ji Chang was so anxious that he quickly ordered his followers to speed up the process and run away.

Zhongnan Mountain, inside Yuzhu Cave.

Yun Zhongzi calculated with his fingers that Xibo Hou Jichang was in trouble.

Immediately, he asked the boy to call Lei Zhenzi.

When Lei Zhenzi saw Yun Zhongzi, he quickly asked his master what he was calling him for.

Yun Zhongzi said: "Disciple, your father, Xibo Hou Jichang, is in trouble. You can go to rescue him quickly."

Lei Zhenzi was a little confused. He had been in the mountains for several years, but he hadn't heard that he had a father?

Yun Zhongzi had no choice but to tell Lei Zhenzi about the matter of taking him over from Ji Chang's hands and arranging a meeting between his father and son seven years later.

Then, arrange for Lei Zhenzi to go to the bottom of the cliff to find a weapon, and then teach him a few moves to rescue Ji Chang.

After hearing this, Lei Zhenzi hurriedly ran to the bottom of the cliff, but he didn't see any weapons at all.

Lei Zhenzi felt a little strange. The master asked him to find weapons, but there were no weapons here!

Lei Zhenzi thought, it would be better to ask the master before making a decision.

At this moment, a burst of strange fragrance rushed into Lei Zhenzi's nostrils.

When Lei Zhenzi smelled the fragrance, he was so greedy that he couldn't walk.

Following the direction of the scent, Lei Zhenzi discovered that there was a particularly beautiful scenery next to a stream under the cliff.

In this scenery, there are two red apricots, hidden among the green leaves.

Lei Zhenzi realized that the smell he smelled was that of apricots, and he hurried over to pick the apricots.

Lei Zhenzi grabbed the vine and shook it gently. After a while, two red apricots appeared in Lei Zhenzi's hands.

Lei Zhenzi couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated when he smelled the tangy fragrance.
