Chapter 343: Jiang Ziya's rebellious heart

Inside Xiqi City.

Ji Chang's funeral was held and completed.

Ji Fa planned to officially announce his succession to the people of Xiqi tomorrow.

Ji Fa looked at Jiang Ziya on the side.

"Father-in-law, you said that our Xiqi's predicament can be solved soon?"

Finding that Jiang Ziya did not respond, he called out again.

"Father-in-law?"

Ever since he saw the golden note suggesting that his memory had been tampered with, Jiang Ziya had often been distracted.

Ji Fa's voice pulled Jiang Ziya back to reality, and he said: "Fa'er, rest assured, my two senior brothers have already arrived in Xiqi. With the help of my two senior brothers, Xiqi's danger can be solved."

"So Father-in-law's two senior brothers have already arrived in Xiqi, but why haven't we seen them?"

Jiang Ziya explained: "My two senior brothers have achieved success in the immortal Dao and are not ordinary people. They do not like the noise of the mortal world. It is thanks to the Investiture of the Gods that my two senior brothers have set foot in the mortal world. Tomorrow, when you announce your succession and we counterattack, my two senior brothers will naturally help, and the crisis will be solved."

Jiang Ziya spoke sincerely and truthfully, and a look of joy appeared on Ji Fa's face.

"With the help of the two immortals from Father-in-law's sect, I can rest assured."

Jiang Ziya frowned slightly.

Two days ago, Ju Liusun and the Great Master Lingbao appeared to see him, indicating that after Ji Fa announced his succession, they would begin to counterattack.

They would assist from the side and provide help, but would not take action directly.

Jiang Ziya thought about it, and there was only one reason.

The Twelve Golden Immortals bear the killing calamity and should not take action themselves.

To avoid the killing calamity on their bodies becoming heavier and heavier.

Affecting their minds, at that time there would be a risk of falling into madness and dying.

While the two were talking, Wen Zhong's withdrawal of troops was also quietly unfolding.

Jiang Ziya cared very much about his memory being tampered with.

He returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He took out the golden note, wanting to see if there was any new information, but found there was none.

Just as he was about to rest, a soldier ran over.

"Report to the Prime Minister, I have something to report."

Jiang Ziya opened the door, walked out, and looked at the soldier in front of him.

"What happened?"

"Report to the Prime Minister, Wen Zhong's camp is very abnormal today. It suddenly became much quieter. We sent people to check and found that Wen Zhong is withdrawing his troops."

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Jiang Ziya was puzzled. Currently, Xiqi is trapped, and the Yin-Shang has the upper hand, so why would they suddenly withdraw their troops?

"Yes, Prime Minister."

After confirmation, Jiang Ziya was very puzzled, but currently, he could not deal with Wen Zhong, and withdrawing troops was a good thing for Xiqi.

He thought for a moment and said: "Send people to keep watching to see if Wen Zhong is really withdrawing his troops or if he wants to play some tricks."

"Yes."

The soldier retreated.

Jiang Ziya pondered.

This matter can only be told to Ji Fa after he succeeds to the throne tomorrow.

Shaking his head, Jiang Ziya returned to the room.

Just as he was about to rest, a golden light flew over, and Jiang Ziya subconsciously resisted.

After the light dissipated, he found the golden note on the ground flashing with golden light.

Jiang Ziya's eyes narrowed, he was slightly stunned, and picked up the golden note from the ground.

"Could it be that there is new content?"

He opened it to look, but there was no new content; all the content on the Great Dao Notebook appeared.

As Jiang Ziya flipped through it, the sealed memories began to emerge.

Suddenly, the golden note flashed with golden light again. Under the illumination of the golden light of the golden note, Jiang Ziya felt dazzling and hurriedly closed his eyes.

After opening his eyes again, Jiang Ziya's eyes became clear.

"I remember, I remember everything."

"My memory was indeed tampered with."

Jiang Ziya recalled the events of the past. He was originally fishing well.

The Antarctic Immortal appeared and asked him to go to Xiqi to serve as Prime Minister and assist Ji Chang.

After he refused, the Antarctic Immortal suddenly showed a fierce look and took action to tamper with his memory.

Only then did he accept Ji Chang's invitation to come to Xiqi to serve as Prime Minister.

"These days, I have been living in a daze, always feeling that something is missing."

"I was confined to the Wei River before and couldn't escape, but now my senior brothers don't know that I have recovered my memory. This is my chance to escape."

"I don't know where Junior Brother Shen is now. It would be nice to go and join him."

Thinking of Shen Gongbao assassinating Ji Chang for him, being stopped by Senior Brother Antarctic, and then disappearing after escaping.

Jiang Ziya sighed, this favor was owed too much.

"I guess Junior Brother Shen is avoiding the Chan Sect's pursuit. Junior Brother Shen is such a good person. When I see him next time, I must thank him in person."

The next day.

Ji Fa officially announced his succession and called himself the Martial King.

The civil and military officials congratulated him.

Ji Fa stood above, high-spirited, and delivered the succession edict.

Jiang Ziya watched from below, absent-minded.

After recovering his memory last night, he had been thinking about how to escape from Xiqi.

After thinking about it, there was only one way: go and join Wen Zhong.

Currently, Wen Zhong has retreated to Si Shui Pass.

But Jiang Ziya already had an idea in his heart.

When Wen Zhong arrives at Si Shui Pass, he will go to attack Si Shui Pass under the name of crusading against Wen Zhong, and then take the opportunity to surrender.

Explaining to Wen Zhong should clear up the previous misunderstandings.

While Jiang Ziya was lost in thought.

Ji Fa's succession ceremony was also completed, and the officials bowed and shouted in unison.

"Pay respects to the Martial King!"

"The Yin-Shang is without Dao, its fortune is exhausted, the Zhou house should rise, the Martial King is the true Son of Heaven, following the will of Heaven, overthrowing the tyrant, we swear to follow to the death!"

Seeing the civil and military officials kneeling and bowing, Ji Fa was very satisfied.

He had great ambitions and had long wanted to overthrow the Yin-Shang and replace it.

Unfortunately, Ji Chang had always been indecisive and did not take further action.

Now that he is in charge of Xiqi and has the help of the Chan Sect, Ji Fa believes that he will definitely succeed.

Suddenly, he noticed Jiang Ziya among the officials was absent-minded.

He was puzzled in his heart.

After the ceremony was completed and the officials retreated one after another, Ji Fa walked over.

"Father-in-law."

"Martial King." Jiang Ziya cupped his hands slightly.

"Father-in-law looks preoccupied today, did something happen?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ziya realized this point.

He had to act normal and not let people know that he had recovered his memory.

He said.

"Martial King, you have succeeded to the throne, and I am thinking about how we should deal with Wen Zhong next."

Ji Fa was still very wary of Wen Zhong. If it weren't for the help of the Chan Sect, he wouldn't know how to win against Wen Zhong.

"Father-in-law, Wen Zhong is the Grand Preceptor of the Yin-Shang, experienced in a hundred battles. With him protecting the Yin-Shang, he is truly the heart-and-flesh trouble of our Xiqi. Whether we can defeat Wen Zhong depends on you."

Jiang Ziya nodded: "Martial King, rest assured, my two senior brothers have already come to Xiqi. With their help, we can definitely defeat Wen Zhong. But according to the report from the scouts last night, Wen Zhong suddenly withdrew his troops. I suspect there is a trick, so I am thinking about the intention of Wen Zhong's move."

"Father-in-law, I just learned about this matter. Do you think Wen Zhong withdrew his troops because he knew that the two immortals from the Chan Sect had arrived in Xiqi?" Ji Fa said.

Jiang Ziya frowned tightly.

"My two senior brothers have profound cultivation, Wen Zhong cannot know their whereabouts. The sudden withdrawal of troops should have some intention. In short, we must not take it lightly. Everything will be decided after the scouts send back news."

"Everything listens to Father-in-law." ===== CHAPTER 344 =====
