Chapter 106: First Meeting with Ji Fa

Under Longji Gongzhu's reluctant gaze, Yin Qi waved his hand from afar, then turned and led his men to continue their journey.

This trip to Qingluan Douque was very fruitful.

The biggest harvest, of course, was capturing Longji Gongzhu's heart and confirming their relationship.

Secondly, there were the gifts from Longji Gongzhu: thousands of bottles of spirit pills, dozens of bottles of immortal pills, hundreds of spirit tools, and more than twenty immortal artifacts, and even most of the peaches in the peach garden were picked for him.

There were also various rare treasures and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, everything.

It can be seen that Longji Gongzhu is really rich.

Worthy of being Haotian's daughter.

Of course, the corpse of that python demon was also given to Yin Qi, anyway, she just kept it for taste.

Beauty's affection is heavy, Yin Qi could only keep it in his heart.

In the future, he would naturally compensate her doubly.

There are ten years left before Fengshen begins, and these ten years are enough for him to cultivate a batch of Heaven Realm powerhouses with this batch of cultivation resources.

As for the Immortal Realm, it depends on opportunity.

………

On the return journey, Yin Qi silently condensed his acupoints.

When the majestic Zhaoge was in sight, he had condensed fifteen acupoints in his whole body, which was not even a fraction of the 1296 acupoints in the whole body.

If there are no accidents, he will have to practice acupoints for the next five or six years.

This realm cannot be fast.

……

"Qi Wang has returned to the city!"

Not long after Yin Qi entered the city, the news of his return to Zhaoge spread completely.

The struggle for the Crown Prince has now become the focus of attention in the world.

The commoners of Zhaoge naturally wanted to know who could win this first assessment between Yin Qi and Yin Shou.

Yin Shou returned to Zhaoge half a month earlier than Yin Qi, and the news about his disaster relief in Jianzhou had already spread throughout Zhaoge under the propaganda of those with intentions, including various policy measures and details.

It was precisely because of this that everyone was marveling that Yin Shou was truly both civil and martial.

Those officials who originally supported Yin Qi were now in despair.

If he couldn't defeat Yin Shou in his most proficient field, how could Yin Qi win the next military assessment?

Although Di Yi hadn't announced the content of the second assessment, as long as one wasn't stupid, one could infer that it must be related to military affairs, because administration and leading troops are the two core abilities of the Human Emperor.

……

Qi Wang Mansion.

"His Highness has returned to the mansion!"

The servants cheered one after another, and a clever maid had already run away to notify the Princess.

Yin Qi walked into the mansion and said to Zhang Shaokang beside him: "General Zhang, you arrange these cultivators, I will give them tasks in a few days. You also go back to rest for a few days, attend the Grand Court Meeting tomorrow, and let General Zhou send me."

Zhang Shaokang nodded: "Yes, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, we take our leave!"

Ding Ce and the three brothers also bowed one after another, and then left with Zhang Shaokang.

Zhang Shaokang and the others had just left.

Zhou Ji walked quickly with the maids.

Excitement flashed in her eyes, and she shouted happily: "Your Highness, you are back."

"My beloved wife!"

Looking at Zhou Ji's beautiful face, Yin Qi also felt a burst of heat in his heart.

However, he soon noticed the young man beside Zhou Ji, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, with eyes like stars and a heroic appearance.

"Ji Fa, you are here!"

This young man is Ji Chang's son, Ji Fa, Zhou Ji's younger brother, the 'future' King Wu of Zhou.

Xiqi is nearly two million miles away from Zhaoge, and travel is inconvenient, so except for seeing Ji Fa once when Zhou Ji married to Zhaoge the year before last, this was the second time he saw him.

The moment he saw Ji Fa, a trace of killing intent even arose in his heart.

Kill Ji Fa, nip it in the bud.

However, he quickly killed this trace of killing intent completely.

Because destiny does not necessarily mean Zhou replacing Shang.

It could also be Donglu, or other Jiuzhou Marquises, or even smaller vassals.

Fundamentally, whoever can obtain the favor of Yuanshi Tianzun has the possibility of becoming the master of the next Celestial Dynasty.

Therefore, killing Ji Fa is completely meaningless.

"Your Highness!"

Ji Fa shouted respectfully, his eyes bright.

It could be seen that he still respected Yin Qi quite a bit.

Yin Qi nodded, took Zhou Ji's hand, and said to Ji Fa: "Let's go, let's talk in the main hall. By the way, notify General Zhang and the others, I will set up a banquet for Ji Fa tonight, please come and accompany him."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The servants behind him heard this and hurriedly chased after Zhang Shaokang and the others who had just left.

Being held by Yin Qi in front of so many people, Zhou Ji felt a bit shy, but more happy.

However, she didn't show it.

As always, she was generous and smiled gracefully.

…………

Main Hall.

After everyone took their seats, the servants brought fragrant tea and snacks.

Yin Qi smiled gently and said: "Ji Fa, why did you come to Zhaoge? Since you are here, stay in the mansion for a while, your sister also misses you from time to time."

Ji Fa said: "Your Highness, besides visiting my sister, I also came here under my father's order to send you a batch of supplies and manpower, hoping to help you and assist you in winning the Crown Prince assessment."

"Oh!"

Yin Qi became interested and smiled lightly: "Then thank my father-in-law first."

As his father-in-law, Xibo Marquis Ji Chang naturally hoped that he could ascend to the position of Human Emperor, so that he could relax Great Shang's vigilance and suppression of Xiqi, allowing them to get enough breathing room and development opportunities.

Don't look at Xibo Marquis marrying Zhou Ji to him, which means the relationship between Xiqi and Great Shang is good.

In fact, the contradiction between Great Shang and Xiqi has long existed.

As for the reason, of course, Xiqi's development speed was too fast, which aroused Great Shang's fear.

Decades ago, Yin Qi's grandfather Wen Ding, because he feared Zhou Marquis Jili, that is, Ji Chang's father, deceived Jili to Zhaoge in the name of reward and killed him, causing the relationship between Shang and Zhou to deteriorate sharply.

After Ji Chang succeeded to the throne, he worked hard to govern and vowed to take revenge, and his power grew extremely fast.

After Di Yi succeeded to the throne, he was also extremely fearful of Ji Chang.

But in order to maintain the rule of Great Shang, he married his only sister, who was only fifteen years old, to Ji Chang, who was already middle-aged, which eased the contradiction between the two sides and did not lead to war.

Although the contradiction on the surface was eased, the competition between the two sides has always been fierce in secret.

Perhaps now, whether it is Ji Chang or Ji Fa and others, they don't have the idea of replacing Great Shang for the time being, but they definitely urgently need to untie the shackles on their bodies to develop well.

Yin Qi naturally understood Xiqi's purpose.

For the development of Great Shang, he would continue the strategy of his predecessors and secretly suppress Xiqi's development, and would not change because of Zhou Ji, but he didn't mind eating the benefits delivered to his door.

If there are benefits not to take, that is a bastard.

Seeing Yin Qi accept it so readily, Ji Fa was secretly happy and said with a smile: "Your Highness is polite. By the way, Your Highness, among the people I brought this time, there are four Heaven Realm powerhouses, two of whom are generals in the army."

Like others, he also thought that Yin Qi had no chance of winning in the first assessment.

The biggest possibility is a draw between the two sides.

Therefore, the subsequent military assessment is extremely important to Yin Qi.

Yin Qi is a scholar, if he leads troops to fight, he must need experienced generals to assist.

"Good, father-in-law is thoughtful!"

Yin Qi was very happy, and also marveled at Xiqi's strength, being able to send out four Heaven Realm powerhouses casually.

Perhaps, these are four nails.

But he has the confidence to conquer them in the future. ===== CHAPTER 107 =====
