Chapter 97: Huang Shiren beats up Ji Chang's father-in-law and scolds Bo Hou

  And then there's the first battle of Xiqi, where Nan Gong Yu failed to kill Daji, who had already switched sides, and instead got himself killed by Huang Shiren. The second brother was blown up by this cheap woman with a golden finger and became a real eunuch.

  Old Huang pretended to be a good person, fed the medicine pill, and restored Nan Gong's physical body, everything was fine, except that little brother could never grow back.

  Su Huiming tied up Nan Gong Yu and carried him on horseback, taking him towards Chao Ge.

  After talking for a long time and traveling for one or two days, they arrived at Chao Ge City.

  Lao Huang was the national teacher, and he went to Jizhou by order of the king. The Marquis of Jizhou, Su Hu, personally brought a nobleman to meet him, and all the civil and military officials had already welcomed them outside the city of Changle.

  The four great marshals didn't mention it, let alone Huang Feihu, Wen Zhong, Bi Gan and Shang Rong, who all dressed up in full attire, accompanied by a group of people to host a banquet to welcome and entertain.

  "Haha, hello everyone, hello. " Huang Shiren got off his horse and looked at the civil and military officials in front of him with a smile.

  "Master Huang, this trip has persuaded the Marquis of Jizhou to spare the world from a war, which is truly a blessing for our great business and the people of the world!" Upon hearing these words, everyone nodded in agreement, surrounded Huang Shiren, and repeatedly flattered him, making Old Huang extremely pleased.

  Only Xi Bo Hou Jichang looked at the tens of soldiers behind Huang Shiren, and felt a sense of wonder.

  I had Nangong Yu lead three thousand iron cavalry to respond, and he secretly did away with Daji's frame-up of Huang Shiren. Why are Huang Shiren and Daji both fine now, but my three thousand iron cavalry have disappeared? And where is Nangong Yu?

  Ji Chang was anxious in his heart, but he didn't expect that the guy who was leaning on the horse's back like a dead man was actually Nan Gong Yu.

  "National Preceptor, I have something to say." Ji Chang felt that things were a bit off and came up to Huang Shiren with a smile.

  "Ah, just looking for you. Looking at Ji Chang's seemingly loyal face, Huang Shiren coldly smiled: "What does the Marquis of the West have to find me for?""

  "National Master, previously the great king ordered someone to go and receive you. I sent Nan Gong Yu with three thousand iron cavalry to welcome you. Don't know if National Master has met him?" Ji Chang's words made the surrounding group of people also pause in surprise.

  Yes, why don't I see anyone from Xiqi?

  "Met." Huang Shiran nodded.

  "Now that we've met, I'll ask you, what about the people from Xiqi?" Ji Fa's tone turned cold and hard as soon as Huang Shiren admitted it, sneering: "Could it be that they were harmed by Guoshi?"

  Everyone can hear the dissatisfaction in Ji Chang's words and is waiting to see a good show.

  This wretch has provoked the Marquis of Western Shu, let's see how he'll get out of this!

  "What about those three thousand iron cavalry?" Huang Shiran asked with a smile.

  "Exactly!"

  "Oh, I met a monster at Enzhou Station and was eaten clean." Huang Shiran responded casually.

  Cough cough! Wen Zhong and others almost choked on their own saliva when they heard this!

  It's been eaten!?! The 3,000 Iron Cavalry has been eaten by a demon!?!

  If someone else said this, people might still believe it, but coming from a scoundrel like Huang Shiren, hardly anyone will find it convincing.

  "National Master!" Ji Chang was furious and coldly said: "This matter is of great importance, National Master, don't joke around!"

  "Who's got nothing better to do than to joke with you. Nanzhou Station indeed has a monster, you bunch of guys from Xiqi are too arrogant, three thousand men and horses were eaten clean in one meal, it's really losing face for us merchants!" Huang Shiren said seriously.

  "You!" Ji Chang's face turned iron-green with rage.

  "Xī Bó Hóu xī nù." When Zhòng saw that the two were likely to fight on the spot, he hurried out to mediate, saying: "In front of so many people, Guō Shī cannot tell a lie. If Xī Bó Hóu does not believe it, tomorrow I will let the Yānzhōu Yì Chéng come to Chāo Gē, and Xī Bó Hóu can ask him then."

  "Alright, alright, the Grand Master's words are reasonable."

  "The imperial teacher is right."

  Shang Rong and Bi Gan were building a hut on the side, while Ji Chang could only suppress his anger and looked at Huang Shiren, saying: "Guoshi, I ask you, can General Nan Gong also be eaten by demons?!"

  "That little guy's legs are fast, his mother saw a monster coming, three legs ran quickly together, so he wasn't eaten." Old Huang laughed and said.

  "How can three legs run fast?!" Ji Chang didn't understand.

  "Huang Shiren pointed to his own crotch: 'Think about it, the demon came, who wouldn't be ruthless and cut off a leg to escape. Your three thousand soldiers were eaten, Nan Gong Yu that guy slipped away with his tail between his legs, isn't he running fast with three legs?'"

  Cough cough cough. Behind him, a group of civil and military officials, one by one covering their mouths, turning around, holding back laughter, almost bursting with internal injuries.

  This cheap person, harming others is truly without a single dirty word!

  "Scoundrel!" The face of Xi Bo Hou Ji Chang turned white for a moment, then red, then green.

  Hear Zhongyi look, wipe, no good, let them go on like this, Ji Chang will be taken advantage of by his uncle and talked to death.

  "Master Shu, where is General Nan Gong?" Wen Zhong hastily came out to divert the conversation.

  "Ah, isn't it?" Huang Shiran pointed behind him.

  Wen Wu and the hundred officials, including Xi Bo Hou, followed his pointing direction and looked over. They saw Nan Gong Yu being supported by two men, slowly walking towards them. But what they saw was a Nan Gong Yu with a blurry face, weak legs, dull eyes, and a stupid expression - where was the man he used to be?

  "Master Shu, what's going on?" Wen Zhong was stunned.

  "Oh, I was beaten." Huang Shiran picked his nose and said.

  "Huang Shiren! Nan Gong Shi was sent out on the king's orders to escort, and you actually laid a hand on him! This is truly outrageous, disregarding the law! You say, how do you explain yourself!" Nan Gong Shi was one of Ji Chang's favorite generals, and seeing his trusted aide return looking like a dead man made Ji Chang furious.

  "You want me to explain!? I'm the one who should be making you explain!" Huang Shiren bellowed, his snot flying onto Ji Chang's face as he grabbed a handful of Ji Chang's beard.

  Ji Chang is an old man, who can be his opponent? Old Huang pulled him and almost pulled Ji Chang's pants down.

  "Imperial teacher, let's talk this over, no need for violence!" Wen Zhong was so frightened that his face turned green.

  Ji Chang's benevolence and righteousness are renowned throughout the world, his reputation is the highest. Huang Shi Ren really wants to make him suffer, the saliva of the common people can drown him to death.

  "The national teacher says it cannot be done! It cannot be done!"

  "Hurry up and let go, Imperial Tutor! There's something good to say!"

  Huang Feihu and Bigan were also frightened out of their wits.

  "Ji Chang! You want me to explain, fine! Today, in front of everyone, I'll settle the score with you!" Huang Shiren refused to let go, spitting wildly: "Nan Gong Yu is your person, isn't he?!"

  "Yes!"

  "The Emperor ordered him to escort a noble, you sent him out, isn't it?"

  "Yes!"

  "His actions were all instructed by you, weren't they?!"

  "Yes!"

  "Good! Your mother's, that Nan Gong Si is drooling over the noble's beauty, running to the noble's room in the middle of the night to force himself on her. If I hadn't arrived late, the noble would have been taken advantage of by that little brat! I'm asking you, the noble is the king's concubine, what does Nan Gong Si think he's doing?! You just said he was acting under your orders, huh? You old scoundrel, are you also going to force yourself on her?!"

  Whoa!

  Lao Huang's words left everyone around him stunned, and those who had just gone to pull and persuade suddenly hid far away with a "hiss".

  How dare you bully the king's woman! You scoundrel, people of Xiqi have integrity!

  The current King Zhou is of a violent temper, often killing people on impulse. This Daji must be the king's treasured darling! Ji Chang, how dare your subordinate try to force himself upon the king!? Does Western Qi want to be annihilated?!

  Originally, Ji Chang was still a respected elder in people's hearts, but now he has suddenly become a bombshell; who dares to speak a good word about him?

  Ji Chang was also stunned at this time and hastily explained: "Guoshi, I don't know about this matter!"

  "You don't know?! Then what you said earlier about Nan Gong Shu doing everything as you instructed was a lie!"

  "I was just talking nonsense! How could I possibly order something like this?!"

  "How would I know?! Maybe you're a dirty old man too!"

  "What injustice! This is a terrible injustice!"

  Ji Chang is again eloquent and articulate, but at this moment he has been made a laughing stock by Old Huang, to the point where even jumping into the Yellow River couldn't wash away the shame.

  "Is this true, Lord Hou?" Ji Chang's character was well-known to Wen Zhong. Since Nan Gong Shu was the number one general of Western Qi, Wen Zhong naturally knew that he was a loyal and honest person, not someone who would do such a despicable thing. He sought confirmation from Su Hu.

  Su Hu looked at her son-in-law making Ji Chang all flustered and was delighted.

  "My goodness, I have to help my daughter's husband out!"

  Marquis Hou stepped out, without saying a word, and with a clang, he drew out his treasured sword, grasped it in his hand, and took a stance as if to split Ji Chang.

  "Fourth Master, you can't!" Huang Feihu grabbed hold of Su Hu.

  "Ji Chang! You indulge your subordinates, wanting to ** my daughter! I, Su Hu, am just a small marquis of Jizhou, no match for you! But Daji is the king's personally appointed noblewoman. If you do this, it's not giving the king face, it's making the king wear a green hat! Tomorrow, I, Su Hu, will go to court and let the king judge what's right!"

  This old man and his son-in-law are really in harmony, their cooperation is seamless.

  Su Hu's character is well-known to everyone, and since Su Hu has said so herself, people thoroughly believe it.

  "Marquis of Xi Bo, how can you be like this?"

  "Yes! If you people of Xiqi lack women, come find me and I'll give them to you. How can you dare to lay hands on the king's woman?"

  "Yes, the king is most afraid of being cuckolded."

  "Hmph, Marquis Xi Bo, you won't be able to get away with this so easily."

  ……

  A group of people, you say one word and I say another, can make Ji Chang want to jump into the river.

  It's all over! The plan to steal the chicken has backfired and now we're in trouble. I know Nangong Yu's character, he would never do such a thing, it must be that scoundrel Huang Shiren's scheme! If this gets out and the king finds out, he'll be furious, and if that happens, Xiqi will be doomed!

  Nan Gong Yu, how can you be so incompetent! Even if you failed, you should have died with honor, without leaving any evidence behind. Now what's to be done?!

  Ji Chang was both angry and anxious, feeling urgent yet fearful. He looked at Huang Shiren and the civil and military officials filling the court, but all he felt was a dizzying darkness.

  No! Calm down! I need to think of a good solution!

  Otherwise, my dominance will be over, the great undertaking I have been planning for a lifetime will be finished!
