Chapter 98: Ji Chang Cries Out for His Father and Mother, Taizhi

  Outside the city of Zhao, Huang Shiran grabbed Ji Chang's beard and wouldn't let go, constantly spitting on the old man's face and picking his nose. Next to him, his father-in-law Su Hu held a precious sword, wanting to chop down Ji Chang. The group of civil and military officials either hugged each other's legs or raised their arms, trying to mediate while cursing at the same time.

  The Western Duke Ji Chang, who was supposed to be a paragon of virtue, has actually done something as outrageous as what Da Ji did! It's truly a sensational event that hasn't been seen in a hundred years! I'm afraid that by tomorrow, these two will have caused a commotion all the way up to the imperial court, and within a day, the whole world will know about it!

  The most urgent and feared one is Ji Chang.

  This old turtle has been hiding and enduring for a lifetime, thinking of all kinds of ways to make a good name for himself, with only one goal, that is to take the opportunity to seize the Jiangshan of the big business. If such a thing happens, not only will his hard-earned reputation be ruined, but also when the king gets angry and blames him, he will send troops to Xiqi, and Xiqi will be finished!

  "National Master, you let go first, I have something to say." Ji Chang had no choice but to put on a smiling face and pretend to be obedient.

  "What's there to say? Save your energy and tell the king about it at Golden Temple tomorrow." said Huang Shi-ren.

  "Guoshi, I understand Nan Gong's character, there must be some misunderstanding here." Ji Chang almost knelt down to Huang Shiren.

  That side Su Huo was on fire and pulled out a stance, wanting to chop people: "Misunderstanding, your mother's, both the person and the goods are captured, still misunderstanding! I chopped you old thing!"

  "Marquis Hou, don't move your hands!" Wen Zhong protected Su Hu and said to Huang Shiren: "Master uncle, let's all calm down first and listen to what Marquis Xi Bo has to say."

  "Not bad, Imperial Tutor, listen first, he's wrong, then you can spit and pick your nose, how about that?"

  "Alright alright, we're all witnesses!"

  Shang Rong and others saw that Ji Chang was made so miserable, they couldn't bear it.

  "Alright, since everyone says so, I'll let you off. You speak!" Huang Shiren released Ji Chang, blew the broken whiskers in his hand, and sat down on the ground with a rascal expression.

  Ji Chang turned around and saluted the crowd, saying: "You are all people who have been in the same dynasty as me for decades. You all know my character! Tell me, am I that kind of person?"

  Ji Chang was sniffling and tearful, starting to play the victim.

  All the civil and military officials present were shocked, and Shang Rong stepped forward to say to Huang Shiren: "The State Preceptor, Xi Bo Hou is a man of benevolence and righteousness, he would never order his subordinates to do such things. It must be Nan Gong who has bewitched him."

  "Not bad. Imperial Tutor, don't randomly falsely accuse people, we're all clear about the character of the Marquis of the West, I'll vouch for him with my own integrity!" Bi Gan also said.

  "I don't believe that the Marquis of Xi Bo would do such a thing! Tomorrow in the great hall, I will say the same!" Huang Feihu knew that Huang Shiren was a despicable person who could do anything bad, and he also supported Ji Chang.

  "The national teacher, must have been wronged."

  "The Marquis of Xi Bo is not such a person."

  The whole court of civil and military officials, not one stood on Huang Shiren's side.

  What a reputation! This old thing, Ji Chang, has really made a name for himself!

  Huang Shiren saw that all the officials were standing on Ji Chang's side, and no one was responding to him. If they really went to the main hall, the officials would say so, and King Zhou couldn't do anything to Ji Chang.

  It seems that this time, I really can't overthrow Ji Chang by myself.

  No way, can't be overthrown, I also have to get some benefits, otherwise it's not the style of old Huang!

  "Xī Bó Hóu, I don't care about this matter that much. Anyway, it's a good deed done by people from Xī Qí. No matter what, I must report to the great king!" Huang Shi Ren said loudly.

  "National Master, listen to me..." Ji Chang was about to speak when Huang Shiren saw a carriage entering the city of Chao Ge, and it was none other than Fei Zhongyou and his entourage, holding an imperial edict.

  "The Emperor has decreed that the noble person be immediately escorted into the palace!" Fei Zhong came to the front of the crowd, read out the imperial edict, and seeing that things were not right, he too was taken aback.

  "Big brother, what's going on?" Fei Zhong asked Huang Shiran in a low voice.

  Huang Shiren said a few words and stopped, which made Fei Zhongguai so angry that he let out a loud cry.

  "Humph! Ji Chang! You're a good-for-nothing dog, actually making the king wear a green hat! Never mind, we'll go inform the king right now!" Fei Zhong said, turning around to wink at Huang Shi Ren: "Big brother, you did well this time. My third brother and I will go see the king, and guarantee that old Ji Chang will die a terrible death!"

  Having said that, Fei Zhongyou and Hun Duo turned their heads and were about to leave.

  Ji Chang had always despised the two men, and they in turn hated him to the bone. Now that they had caught him off guard, how could he possibly speak up for himself?!

  Ji Chang, in a hurry, forgot about his identity and dignity, grabbed Fei Zhongyou and Hun Er, turned around and pleaded with Huang Shiren: "National Master, this matter is absolutely unjust, how about this? I will go to the National Master's mansion tonight to ask for clarification, and see the king again tomorrow?"

  For now, let's drag it out as long as we can. No matter what, we must convince Huang Shiren.

  "Master Shu, I think it's better this way, you should give Xi Bo Hou a chance to explain," said Wen Zhong.

  Bi Gan and Shang Rong nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, it must be a misunderstanding! Guoshi has a lot of tolerance, let's talk it over."

  A group of people both literary and martial all said so, Huang Shiren nodded in agreement.

  "Alright. Viscount Xi Bo, I'll be waiting for you tonight and see how you explain this. All of you, leave!" Huang Shi Ren pointed at Wen Zhong and the others.

  "How dare you disobey orders?" Wen Zhong and others were overjoyed.

  "Big brother, it can't be like this! Hurry up and finish off that old ghost!" Fei Zhongyou and the others were anxious.

  "Second Brother and Third Brother, don't be anxious. Tonight, you two will also go, hehe, I guarantee that you will be satisfied." Huang Shiren said with a wicked smile.

  Fei Zhongyou and Hu Lun nodded in agreement when they saw Huang Shiren's reaction, knowing that he had many tricks up his sleeve.

  A welcoming banquet ended in chaos, everyone returned home, Huang Shiren, Su Hu and others brought "Daji" and Nangong Shi back to the mansion, a group of people scattered like birds and beasts, without mentioning.

  National Master, Grand Tutor, and the Crown Prince's Guardian. Huang Shiren settled everyone down, had them tidy up a bit, and then rushed to the backyard, where he saw Wukong playing with his golden-hooped rod, and pulled him over.

  "Where is your wife?"

  "There's embroidery in the side room." Wukong pointed to the side room.

  "You watch from outside, no one is allowed to come in." Huang Shiren chuckled and slipped into the room, and indeed saw Daji lowering her head to embroider flowers.

  Lao Huang walked up and hugged her from behind, with a pair of rough hands grasping the white pigeons on Ta Ji's chest, rubbing them vigorously, causing Ta Ji to let out a soft cry and go limp in Lao Huang's arms.

  "Huang Da Ge, you're so bad!" Ta Ji turned around, her powdered face flushing bright red.

  Looking at Daji's extremely beautiful and handsome face, Lao Huang's heart was racing, and he could no longer hold back. He hugged Daji tightly and rolled onto the big bed.

  Only in the boudoir, silk fabrics fluttered wildly, soft sighs echoed continuously. It was because he loved her slender body and delicate waist. The sound of zither music filled the air. Before dusk, when people had not yet closed their doors, he snuck into the silken chamber. He tenderly caressed her fragrant skin and gently pitied her jade-like body. His lips left marks everywhere, like rouge. By her ear, he created a hundred different sounds, and even in the dead of night, he refused to let people sleep.

  Daji, a woman of great beauty, had long since given her heart to Huang Shiren. She was half willing and half unwilling, but her two white legs were already on his shoulders, allowing him to do as he pleased. The rain poured down outside, and the clouds drifted by. It was as if: On the branches of the sea peach tree, the swallows flew swiftly, In the jade-green beams, the swallows chattered frequently. Unbeknownst to them, their love had reached its peak, their affection knew no bounds. The fragrance of musk and orchid wafted through the air, filling their lips with sweetness. Huang Shiren was overcome with emotion, calling out to Daji in a low voice, addressing her as his heart's desire. Daji too whispered softly, her eyes gazing up at him from beneath the bed curtains, her mannerisms full of charm, her mouth whispering endearments without cease. The two were lost in their love, like rain and clouds entwined, their joy doubled.

  After tossing about for a good two hours, until Daji begged for mercy, Huang Shiren was finally satisfied, feeling extremely pleased and refreshed. He hugged Daji and told her all about what had happened on the way, listening to which Daji pulled Huang's ear and scolded him as a rascal.

  "Husband, I've heard that the Marquis of Xi Bo is the most benevolent and righteous person in the world. Don't wrong him." The gentle and mysterious words of Da Ji.

  "Good heavens, you're too kind-hearted and don't know that Jie Chang has a treacherous face. If it weren't for Jiuer disguising herself as you this time, I'm afraid you would have been the one to suffer at his hands. Don't plead on behalf of that wicked woman!" Huang Shiren said.

  "Alas, Ninth Sister is really pitiful. Huang Dage, I feel that Ninth Sister seems to like you?" Tuo Ye said to Huang Shiren, with a hint of a smile in her eyes, without any sign of jealousy, and continued: "Dage, Ninth Sister is a good person, don't let her down."

  Alas! Old Huang thought of Bai Jiu'er and let out a long sigh.

  "Huang Da Ge, aren't you also fond of Jiu Er sister?" Ta Ji sat up.

  "This matter is not mentioned again. The more you talk, the more chaotic it becomes, the more you talk, the more annoying it gets." Huang Shiren also sat up, holding Taizi and said: "It's strange to say that all along the way, I always felt that Jiu'er seemed to have become a different person."

  "Oh, what's going on?" Taki also wondered.

  "You wouldn't understand even if I told you." Huang Shiren shook his head, changing the subject, and said: "Xin Gan, what do you think of this mansion?"

  "It's good. Much better than the Su Prefecture of Hebei Province." Taizi smiled and said.

  She is a girl and naturally likes such beautiful scenery, feeling joyful in her heart.

  "From now on, you'll stay here and don't go out to show your face. If there's anything, look for Yang Xian or Wukong." Huang Shiren said with a smile.

  "It's good too, but after a long time, it's also boring." Tairen said.

  Huang Shiren thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. At her age, Daji was indeed at the prime of her youth, and being cooped up in the mansion all day was quite suffocating.

  Daji saw Huang Shiren deep in thought and burst out laughing, saying: "Brother Huang, can I also cultivate immortality?"

  "How did you suddenly say such things?" Huang Shiren was stunned.

  "I chatted with Wukong yesterday and learned that Big Brother is a great immortal, with infinite lifespan. Thinking about it, as an ordinary person, I definitely can't stay with Big Brother forever, so I had the idea of cultivating immortality." Taizi said this, with tears shining in her eyes.

  It can make Lao Huang heartbroken.

  "If you want to cultivate immortality, that's fine. I've been busy these days, so go find Yang Xian or Wukong and have them guide you. There are plenty of immortal pills here, and if you practice diligently, who knows, you might even see some results. Another day, I'll go ask for a special technique suitable just for you, then we can be together forever." Old Huang said with a smile.

  "Thank you, big brother!" Tà Jī also heard these words and was delighted.

  "How much does it cost?"

  "How would they know?"

  "I know!" Huang Shiren sneered and pressed Daji under his body again.

  It was just a cloudy and rainy day, I looked up at the sky and it had already turned dark. Just then, I heard a loud knocking sound coming from outside the door.

  "Master, I don't want to ruin your good deed, but there's a crowd of people waiting for you outside. If you don't come out soon, someone might get killed!" Wukong said with an evil grin.

  Whoa! I was so caught up in the fun, I forgot about the main thing!

  Lao Huang sprang out of bed, helped by Taizi to get dressed, and walked out of the room with a chuckle.

  "You'll be crying for your mom and dad tonight, let me show you my skills! My surname is written in reverse!" Huang Shiren sneered.
