Chapter 133: Banks of the Wei River, Attacked
At this time.
After Ji Chang fasted for three days, he wore a gorgeous brocade robe, a crown on his head, rode a horse, followed by hundreds of majestic followers, carrying gifts, and came towards Jiang Ziya's residence.
Flags fluttered, the scene was grand, and it could be said that he attached great importance to Jiang Ziya.
Arriving three miles away from the thatched cottage where Jiang Ziya lived, in order to show his sincerity, Ji Chang dismounted, tidied his clothes, and planned to walk over.
When he arrived at Jiang Ziya's residence, the courtyard gate was closed.
Ji Chang walked respectfully outside the courtyard and called softly.
"Mr. Jiang, Ji Chang is here to invite you, I hope Mr. Jiang will see me."
There was no response in the house. Ji Chang was not discouraged and said loudly again: "Mr. Jiang, I know that you have great talent. This time I invite you with sincerity, hoping you will come out of the mountain to help me and achieve a great cause together."
But the response to him was still a silence.
Ji Chang had no choice but to wait outside the courtyard. If it weren't for Antarctic Immortal Weng telling him that Jiang Ziya was the wise man with the flying bear appearance.
Who could assist him in strengthening West Qi, he wouldn't be so humble.
Suddenly, when he turned around, he saw a Taoist wearing a black Taoist robe and looking like an immortal appear.
Ji Chang was slightly stunned and bowed: "May I ask who the Taoist is, and are you a friend of Mr. Jiang?"
Shen Gongbao's gaze swept over Ji Chang like a poisonous snake, which made people shudder, and he smiled coldly: "The poor Taoist is a fellow disciple of Ziya."
Ji Chang felt tight in his heart, feeling a dangerous aura that was indescribable emanating from Shen Gongbao, warning himself not to judge people by their appearance, and thinking it was his own illusion.
"So the Taoist is a fellow disciple of Mr. Jiang. I am the Western Earl Ji Chang. I learned from the local people that Mr. Jiang has great talent and is a wise man, so I came to invite Mr. Jiang to come out of the mountain to help, but Mr. Jiang has been avoiding me."
After speaking, Ji Chang sighed.
"Since the Taoist is a fellow disciple of Mr. Jiang, I think you are also a wise man, right?"
Ji Chang looked at Shen Gongbao sincerely, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. He was thirsty for talent. If Shen Gongbao was also a wise man, he wouldn't mind recruiting him.
Shen Gongbao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile that was hard to fathom: "For you, the poor Taoist is indeed a wise man."
"Great, I don't know if the Taoist is willing to work in West Qi and use your talent to help me govern West Qi?"
Shen Gongbao smiled meaningfully and said gloomily: "West Qi is a small place, and you, the Western Earl, are just a name. Are you worthy of the poor Taoist helping you?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Chang's face changed slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Shen Gongbao's words.
San Yisheng on the side couldn't help but say: "The Taoist looks down on my master so much, it's really biased."
Shen Gongbao's eyes were cold, and he glared at San Yisheng: "A small subordinate, the poor Taoist is talking to your master, and you dare to interrupt, don't know the etiquette, should be punished."
Saying that, Shen Gongbao used a small means to slap San Yisheng.
When Ji Chang saw it, Shen Gongbao was indeed a strange person, so he didn't dare to offend him, and hurriedly said: "Taoist, forgive me, San Yisheng is a great doctor, he has been working hard for West Qi, and he is also protecting his master, so he was impulsive for a while and offended the Taoist. Please forgive him this time."
Shen Gongbao snorted coldly, his eyes full of contempt: "The poor Taoist naturally won't care about a mortal, but don't let it happen again."
"Thank you, Taoist." Ji Chang bowed and cupped his hands, his posture very low.
Being in a high position, he knew how to endure. Seeing that Shen Gongbao was very satisfied with his attitude, Ji Chang spoke again.
"It seems that Ji Chang is not in the Taoist's eyes today, but the Taoist is a fellow disciple of Mr. Jiang. I don't know if the Taoist can introduce Mr. Jiang to me?"
Shen Gongbao narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I came here for this matter."
Ji Chang was stunned. He didn't expect it to be so smooth.
"Great, then I will trouble the Taoist to introduce me."
Shen Gongbao smiled coldly, the smile revealing endless coldness.
"You misunderstood, the poor Taoist came here to kill you."
"What!"
Ji Chang and San Yisheng on the side were slightly stunned, scared back a few steps, and the joy on their faces disappeared instantly.
"Taoist, why is this? We remember we didn't offend you?" Ji Chang asked.
San Yisheng shouted: "I knew you were a demon Taoist, you really exposed your purpose."
The remaining few ministers kept shouting.
"Protect the master, protect the master!"
But in order to show his sincerity, Ji Chang let the followers wait outside when he was three miles away, and he and San Yisheng and a few other ministers, led the servants who transported the gifts to come over.
There were not many people running to protect the master.
Seeing the panicked look of Ji Chang and his party, Shen Gongbao's eyes were gloomy, and he smiled gloomily.
"Too late."
After saying that, he attacked, and a black smoke attacked Ji Chang.
Ji Chang widened his eyes in horror and shouted hurriedly.
"Immortal Weng, save me!"
At this critical moment, Antarctic Immortal Weng suddenly appeared and shouted: "Shen Gongbao, you monster, stop hurting people!"
Waving the whisk in his hand, a white light shot out, colliding with the black smoke emitted by Shen Gongbao, shaking Shen Gongbao back repeatedly.
Seeing Antarctic Immortal Weng appear, Shen Gongbao's eyes flashed with uneasiness, and he hurriedly fled.
Antarctic Immortal Weng didn't chase, watched Shen Gongbao flee, turned around and looked at Ji Chang and his party.
Ji Chang stepped forward and saluted Antarctic Immortal Weng.
"Thank you, Immortal Weng, for saving me. May I ask who the demon Taoist was just now, and why did he attack me?"
Antarctic Immortal Weng's gaze fell on Ji Chang, and he said profoundly: "This is a traitor of my Jade Void Palace, who has been expelled from the Chan Sect by my Jade Void Sect Master. Knowing that you are the person chosen by my Chan Sect, he must have come to take revenge out of hatred."
Upon hearing this, Ji Chang looked worried: "Immortal Weng, this time fortunately you saved me, but Immortal Weng certainly cannot be here all the time. If Shen Gongbao comes to attack again, what should I do?"
San Yisheng on the side also spoke: "Immortal Weng, the master's worry is not unreasonable. You said to come to the banks of the Wei River to invite a wise man to help the master and plan a great cause together, and there would be no problem, but now the master has been attacked, please protect the master's safety."
Antarctic Immortal Weng looked at the two, revealing his iconic smile, looking kind and friendly: "Don't worry, I will ensure that Shen Gongbao will not come to attack you again, and you invite Ziya out of the mountain, with Ziya's help, naturally you don't have to be afraid of Shen Gongbao."
After speaking, he looked at Jiang Ziya's residence, and Antarctic Immortal Weng frowned slightly.
Jiang Ziya must know about the matter here. Antarctic Immortal Weng didn't know what Jiang Ziya would do.
Would he listen to his warning and test Ji Chang a little, don't play too much.
"You go find Ziya. Ziya is a member of my Jade Void sect, and he has a mission when he goes down the mountain this time, so your sincerity must be enough to move him."
"If this trip fails, don't be discouraged, come again next time. When Jiang Ziya agrees to assist the Marquis, it will be the time for West Qi to rise."
Ji Chang bowed and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Immortal Weng, for telling me, Ji Chang will definitely use sincerity to move Mr. Jiang."
Antarctic Immortal Weng nodded slightly: "Very good, you go, Shen Gongbao will definitely not dare to come again." ===== CHAPTER 134 =====
