Chapter 93: Daji Sings at Court, Ji Chang Sets a Trap

  And that despicable Huang Shiren, when he arrived at Jizhou City and saw Su Hu, he called him "father-in-law". This made Su Hu, a dignified marquis, so angry that he was at his wit's end. It's really true that in the Huang family, even the cucumbers are better than the gourds, one thing surpasses another.

  "You'd better tell me, how can we make it smooth? If you say something wrong, I'll cut off your head!" Su Hu knew that this villain had many evil thoughts, and he could only listen to him. Maybe there was still a way out.

  "My father-in-law is very good at joking, I have big and small heads, the big head I use to make a living, the small head I use to make a living for Daji, neither of which can be cut off by you." Huang Shiren let out a sly laugh, seeing Su Hu was about to get angry again, he quickly stopped: "Father-in-law, what I mean is, you protect Daji and go with me to Chao Ge, offer up Daji, and everything will be fine."

  "I'll cut you down!"

  "Brother Huang! I'm not going!"

  "Brother-in-law, you can't let sister go, isn't this like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?!"

  The three Su family members were so angry with Huang Shiren's words that they were furious inside and out.

  "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient! Listen to me slowly!" Seeing that the whole family was really anxious, Huang Shiren also felt that he had spoken too briefly and might have caused misunderstanding.

  "Father-in-law, it's like this. King Zhou has sent a large army, you are no match for them. If you don't offer up Daji, not only will your family be in danger, but the common people of Jizhou City will suffer and the whole country will be thrown into turmoil. Father-in-law, as long as you do this and present a memorial to King Zhou saying that you are doing it for the sake of the common people, not only will King Zhou be delighted, but the common people of the whole country will also praise your benevolence. And you, you will still be a member of the royal family, enjoying wealth and glory, how wonderful!"

  "Huang Shiren! You keep calling me your father-in-law! Alright, even if I agreed, I'd like to ask you, what kind of logic is there in giving away one's own woman to someone else?" Su Huoqi said.

  "Father-in-law, you recognize your son-in-law?" Huang Shiren was overjoyed.

  "Die! I mean even if, suppose!"

  "I don't care! You just admitted it earlier! Father-in-law, as a noble marquis of Ji Zhou, you can't go back on your word! Isn't that right, Taizi?" Huang Shiren's shamelessness was about to drive Su Hu completely mad.

  "Speak of the matter at hand!" Looking at his own daughter's gentle and affectionate demeanor towards this despicable person, Su Hu was truly speechless. Alas, it was like trying to retrieve spilled water - his daughter had been ruined by others and there was no way to take it back.

  "Alright." Huang Shiren nodded and said, "Father-in-law, I naturally cannot send Daji to King Zhou of Shang. As a man, this is something that can't be endured."

  "Didn't you just say I should escort Daji to offer her to King Zhou!?" Su Hu Baiyan said.

  Huang Shiren waved his hand and said, "Father-in-law misunderstood, this Diaochan is not the one I love."

  "I don't understand! Speak clearly!"

  Huang Shiren took a deep breath and said, "It's like this, I'm a cultivator, and my father-in-law also knows that. I have a fellow cultivator who received an extremely important task to complete, and this task is related to Consort Yu. You only need to escort Consort Yu to Chao Ge, halfway there, my fellow cultivator will disguise himself as Consort Yu's appearance and follow you into Chao Ge. As for Consort Yu, she'll return to the manor with me, eating well and living a good life. Wouldn't this be a win-win situation?"

  Su Hu heard Huang Shi-ren's words and thought carefully, also feeling that it was not bad. If they really fought, the Su family would definitely be finished.

  "Shi Ren, is this thing reliable?" Su Hu even changed his tone of address.

  "Father-in-law, even if I wanted to deceive you, I couldn't gamble with Diaochan's happiness, could I?" Huang Shiren said.

  "If it's really like this, then it's not bad." Su Hu nodded his head.

  "Brother Huang, who is that immortal friend of yours?" Ta Ji asked.

  "...this..." reminded Bai Jiu'er, Huang Shiren's heart was gloomy, and his originally happy face also became miserable.

  "Oh, sister-in-law, this is all family business, you'd better not ask about it." Zhu Ziren saw that if she continued to ask, the ancestors' graves might be dug up, so he quickly came out to mediate.

  "I'll meet her then and thank this sister properly." Taizi nodded.

  "Big sister is really a wise and virtuous wife! Alas, if my old Zhu's wife could be one ten-thousandth as good as big sister, I'd laugh in my dreams!" Old Zhu saw that Huang Shiren and Daji were truly loving and affectionate, and he felt envious.

  "Father-in-law, don't be foolish, hurry up and write the memorial to the throne!" Huang Shiren urged.

  "Alright." Su Hu replied.

  Never mind the chaos in Jizhou City, let's talk about King Zhou's order to Chong Hou Hu to send troops to conquer. Upon hearing that Chong Hou Hu's army was about to arrive at Jizhou City, he felt delighted.

  On this day, a scout suddenly came to report that there was a memorial in the city of Jizhou. King Zhou summoned his civil and military officials, and in the great hall, the small yellow gate read out the memorial, and immediately all the civil and military officials were stunned.

  "Haha! Indeed, you are my national teacher! Good! Good! Pass on my imperial decree: appoint Su Hu as the Duke of the State and order him to quickly bring Daji into Chao Ge, without any mistake!" King Zhou laughed.

  The whole court was delighted, but only Xi Bo Hou Ji Chang's face was gloomy.

  "The king, nowadays the world is not good, Taizi girl needs to be escorted on the road, I think it's better to send someone to welcome her and escort her all the way, this is the best strategy." Ji Chang said with a smile.

  "The words of the Marquis of Xi Bo are extremely right!" King Zhou also felt that Ji Chang's words were very reasonable and could not allow his heart to be surprised.

  "Which of you thinks should be sent to meet him?" King Zhou asked.

  "Your Majesty, I'll go." Wu Cheng Wang Huang Feihu stepped forward.

  "Wu Cheng Wang is gone, I can rest assured." King Zhou was overjoyed.

  On the other side, Ji Chang was displeased and smiled: "Your Majesty, Wu Cheng Wang's bravery is unmatched, he can go, but this is a waste of great talent on a small task. Currently, Da Ji does not have a noble title, if Your Majesty sends Wu Cheng Wang to welcome her, the people will inevitably speak ill of you, saying that you love beauty and neglect the country."

  "This...," King Zhou thought for a moment, and also nodded in agreement.

  "What clever strategy does the Marquis of Xi Bo have?"

  Ji Chang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries. In the west of Qi, there is a great general named Nan Gong Yu, who has both bravery and strategy, and can undertake this important task!"

  "Excellent! I've also heard that General Nan Gong is the greatest warrior of Xiqi!"

  "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

  On the grand hall, the matter of welcoming Da Ji was thus settled.

  After descending from the temple, Ji Chang summoned Nan Gong Zike over.

  "Nangong, do you understand what you're going to do?" Ji Chang said with a cold smile.

  "The master has me go and welcome her, naturally guaranteeing that nothing happens to Daji." Nangong Yu didn't think much of it.

  "Idiot!" Ji Chang hummed and said: "You escort on the road, see the opportunity to act, do this Daji woman, understand?!"

  "What!?" Nan Gong Yu was suddenly stunned.

  Alas. Ji Chang sighed, squeezed out two tears, and said: "Heaven does not bless our great Shang Dynasty. Now the king is fond of female charm, that Da Ji will surely bring disaster to the ruler and harm the people when she enters Chao Ge. Nan Gong, we have received the great kindness of the former king, so we must always prioritize the Jiangshan of the Shang Dynasty!"

  Nan Gong Yu was deeply moved by these words: Indeed, he is our master! Indeed, he is the righteous West Duke who has spread benevolence throughout the world!

  "My lord, if we kill Daji and King Zhou blames us for it, what will you do?" Nangong Jue began to worry about Ji Chang.

  "Nangong, as a minister, loyalty and righteousness come first. How can you prioritize your own safety and compromise the great affairs of the state? Leave quickly!" Ji Chang said with wide eyes.

  "Master!" Nangong Shi's voice was filled with emotion as he loudly declared, "Don't worry, Master! I'll take a thousand knives and ten thousand cuts if it means I can have that woman. I won't let you get involved in any way."

  "Go." Ji Chang nodded.

  Looking at Nan Gong Yu's back, Ji Chang couldn't help but smile.

  Huang Shiren, you and Su Hu sent Ta Ji to the court, I intercepted her halfway, King Zhou lost his beauty, how can you explain this?! Hehe, even if it's investigated, I'll push it onto Nan Gong Zuo's body, not only can I clear myself, but also get a reputation for upholding justice, hehe, good, good!

  Huang Shiren said again, Ji Zhou City saw Su Hu write down the memorial, and immediately arranged for escorting.

  Su Hu led two or three hundred households, bringing Su Quanzhong with him, and helped Da Ji onto a cart, slowly heading towards Chao Ge.

  "Third brother, go to Xuanyuan Tomb and tell Jiuer to meet me at Enzhou Post Station." Huang Shiren instructed Zhu Zhen to leave, also letting out a long sigh.

  "Second Brother Huang, why do you sigh?" Taizi thought to herself that this time she would be able to enter the Huang residence and be with Huang Shiren day and night, so she was delighted. Seeing Huang Shiren sighing and frowning, she felt puzzled in her heart.

  "Ah, it's getting late, Taizi. We've been tired all day, let's take a break." Huang Shiran stopped the horse team, set up camp, lit a fire, and the two sat down to rest.

  "Huang Dagei, you haven't answered what I just said." Taizi asked.

  A woman's sixth sense is most acute. When Taji saw Huang Shiren, every time he mentioned that immortal friend, his mood was not good, and she felt that there must be a story behind it.

  "It's nothing. I'm just lamenting the way of heaven playing tricks on people." Huang Shiren forced a smile.

  "Others wouldn't believe it either. Huang Dage, could it be that the immortal friend you mentioned is also a perfect match for you?"

  My goodness! This woman's thoughts are really frightening! Huang Shiren was asked until his mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted.

  "Just friends."

  "Others may not think so, but perhaps they are very good friends?" Taki said with extraordinary cleverness and a smile.

  "Hey, look, there's a shooting star!"

  "Come on! When others are talking, you interrupt!"

  "It's really there! Look! It's so big! Come on, come on, let brother hug you and see the meteor shower, how romantic!"

  Wave?

  "Cough cough cough, I said it wrong. How romantic!"

  Holding Taizi to watch the meteor shower, Huang Shiren still let out a long sigh in his heart.

  Just as I was lost in thought, a group of people and horses rushed over from afar, several thousand iron cavalry, with men shouting and horses neighing, like a fiery dragon.

  "Those bastards in front, report your names! Otherwise, I, Old Sun, will smash each and every one of you into pulp!" Wukong stood on the mountain ridge, shaking his sleeve with the tiger-striped short skirt, swinging the Golden Hoop Rod in his hand, revealing a sinister smile.

  "Could it be the State Preceptor?! I am General Nan Gong Yu of Xiqi! In the name of His Majesty, I have come to escort Princess Daji into Chao Ge!" A general emerged from among the horses and men, truly majestic and awe-inspiring.

  Huang Shiran had already heard this and frowned: "Damn it! That old turtle Ji Chang is really good at finding trouble!"

  So let Su Hu accompany the light carriage and send Taizi over, it's just that I'm afraid that in Enzhou Yi, the cat will change the prince unknowingly, and with so many people coming to the South Palace, how can I act?!

  Ji Chang, you son of a bitch! You're ruthless and despicable!

  However, in front of me, compared to you, how can this turtle be my opponent?

  Hehe, this time, grandpa will let you see my skills!

  Looking at the thousands of Western Qi troops in front of him, looking at the majestic South Palace, Old Huang chuckled.

  #### Below, South Palace is going to be unlucky. Hehe. Seeking support, seeking collection!
