Chapter 302

At this time.

After fasting for three days, Ji Chang wore a gorgeous brocade robe, a crown on his head, rode on a horse, followed by hundreds of majestic followers, carrying gifts, and came to Jiang Ziya's residence.

Flags fluttered, and the scene was grand, which can be said to be very important 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.

Arriving at Jiang Ziya's residence, the courtyard gate was closed.

Ji Chang walked to the outside of the courtyard respectfully and called softly.

"Mr. Jiang, Ji Chang is here to ask, I hope Mr. will see me."

There was no response in the house, Ji Chang was not discouraged, and said loudly again, "Mr. Jiang, I know Mr.'s great talent, this time I sincerely invite you, hoping Mr. will come out of the mountain to help me and complete the 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 the Old Immortal of the South Pole telling him that Jiang Ziya was the wise man with the flying bear appearance.

He could assist him in strengthening Xiqi, and he would not be so humble.

Suddenly, when turning around, he saw a Taoist in a black Taoist robe, with the appearance of an immortal, appear.

Ji Chang was slightly stunned and bowed, "Dare to ask who the Taoist is, and is he a friend of Mr. Jiang?"

Shen Gongbao's gaze swept over Ji Chang like a poisonous snake, making people shudder, and smiled coldly, "The poor Taoist is a fellow disciple of Ziya."

Ji Chang felt tight in his heart, feeling that Shen Gongbao was exuding an indescribable dangerous aura, warning himself that people cannot be judged by their appearance, and thinking it was his own illusion.

"So the Taoist is Mr. Jiang's fellow disciple. I am Xibo Hou Ji Chang. I learned from the local people that Mr. Jiang has great talent and is a wise man, so I specifically came to ask Mr. to come out of the mountain to help, but Mr. has been avoiding me."

After speaking, Ji Chang sighed.

"Since the Taoist is Mr. Jiang's fellow disciple, 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 his mouth slightly, revealing an unfathomable smile, "For you, the poor Taoist is indeed a wise man."

"That's great, I don't know if the Taoist is willing to work in Xiqi and use the Taoist's talent to help me govern Xiqi?"

Shen Gongbao smiled meaningfully and said gloomily, "Xiqi is a small place, and you, Xibo Hou, are just a name. Are you worthy of the poor Taoist helping you?"

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 and did not dare to offend him, so he hurriedly said, "Taoist, forgive me, San Yisheng is a doctor, and has been working hard for Xiqi, and he is also protecting his master, so he was just speaking quickly and offended the Taoist, please forgive him this time."

Shen Gongbao sneered, his eyes full of contempt, "The poor Taoist naturally won't care about a mortal, but this is the last time."

"Thank you, Taoist," Ji Chang bowed and cupped his hands, his posture very low.

Being in a high position, he knows how to endure. Seeing that Shen Gongbao was very satisfied with his attitude, Ji Chang spoke again.

"It seems that Ji Chang can't enter the Taoist's eyes today, but the Taoist is Mr. Jiang's fellow disciple, 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."

Ji Chang was stunned. He didn't expect it to be so smooth.

"That's great, then I'll 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, shocked and retreated a few steps, the joy on their faces disappeared instantly.

"Taoist, why is this? We remember we didn't offend you?" Ji Chang asked.

San Yisheng shouted loudly, "I knew you were a demon Taoist, you really exposed your purpose."

The remaining few ministers kept shouting.

"Protect the driver, protect the master!"

But in order to show his sincerity, Ji Chang let the followers wait outside three miles away, and he and San Yisheng and a few other ministers, led the servants carrying gifts to come over.

There were not many people running to protect the driver.

Seeing the panicked appearance of Ji Chang and his party, Shen Gongbao's eyes were gloomy and he laughed gloomily.

"Too late."

After saying that, he attacked, and a black smoke attacked Ji Chang.

Ji Chang stared in horror and shouted hurriedly.

"Immortal, save me!"

At this critical moment, the Old Immortal of the South Pole suddenly appeared and shouted, "Shen Gongbao, you beast, 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 again and again.

Seeing the Old Immortal of the South Pole appear, Shen Gongbao's eyes flickered with anxiety and he hurriedly fled.

The Old Immortal of the South Pole did not chase, watched Shen Gongbao flee, turned around and looked at Ji Chang and his party.

Ji Chang stepped forward to salute the Old Immortal of the South Pole.

"Thank you, Immortal, for saving me. Dare to ask who the demon Taoist just now was, and why did he attack me?"

The Old Immortal of the South Pole's gaze fell on Ji Chang, and he said pretentiously, "This is a traitor of my Jade Void Palace, who has been expelled from the Chan Sect by my Jade Void Sect Leader. He knows that you are the person chosen by my Chan Sect, so he came to take revenge out of hatred."

Hearing this, Ji Chang looked worried, "Immortal, it's fortunate that you saved me this time, but the Immortal certainly can't be here all the time. What if Shen Gongbao comes again?"

San Yisheng on the side also spoke, "Immortal, the master's worry is not unreasonable. You said to come to the banks of the Wei River to ask a wise man to help the master and plan the great cause, and there will be no problem, but now the master was attacked, please ensure the safety of my master."

The Old Immortal of the South Pole looked at the two of them and showed 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 ask Ziya to come out of the mountain, with Ziya's help, naturally you don't have to be afraid of Shen Gongbao."

After speaking, looking at Jiang Ziya's residence, the Old Immortal of the South Pole frowned slightly.

Jiang Ziya must know about the matter here. The Old Immortal of the South Pole didn't know what Jiang Ziya would do.

Would he listen to his warning and test Ji Chang a little bit, don't play too much.

"You go find Ziya. Ziya is a member of my Jade Void sect. He has a mission to go down the mountain this time, so your sincerity must be enough to move him."

"If this trip fails, don't be discouraged, just come again next time. When Jiang Ziya agrees to assist the Marquis, it will be the time for Xiqi to rise."

Ji Chang bowed and cupped his hands, "Thank you, Immortal, for telling me, Ji Chang will definitely use sincerity to move Mr. Jiang."

The Old Immortal of the South Pole nodded slightly, "Very good, you go, Shen Gongbao definitely won't dare to come again."
