Chapter 439: Xi Bohou's Remorse
Li Ling didn't know that his practice of letting Shang Guo refuse to trade with the demon clan had caused a big misunderstanding between Yingzhao and Xiqi.
Ying Zhao thought that there was no grain in the Xiqi warehouse at all, but Xi Bohou was teasing himself, he hurriedly returned to the territory of the demon clan, and no longer planned to cooperate with Xiqi, but the third son of Xiqi thought that the demon clan had done something in the underground warehouse, and Ying Zhao privately swallowed all the money and grain in the warehouse.
Facing the empty warehouse, Bo Yikao's legs were weak and he almost didn't fall to the ground: "It must be Yingzhao This guy used demon magic to swallow the grain, and my father personally said that this is the hard work of the Ji family for several generations, how can it be turned into bricks?"
Bo Yi Kao secretly hated the demon clan in his heart but didn't say it, the demon clan is too powerful, Xiqi can't afford to provoke others now, and the two brothers worry about it when they say it!
"Two brothers, don't tell anyone what happened today, understand?" said Bo Yikao to the two brothers.
The existence of the secret warehouse is known to many old ministers, and the Ji family has gathered a lot of loyal ministers by relying on this warehouse, if these people know that Xiqi is actually in dire straits, they are afraid that people's minds will change, and many people will turn against the water!
"Don't worry, big brother, the two of us know!" Ji Fa took the lead in agreeing.
In order to win people's hearts, the three brothers went to the ministers' mansions and clearly told them that Xiqi had formed an alliance with the demon clan, and Yingzhao promised the three brothers that as long as there was a need, the demon clan could come over to help Xiqi at any time!
The three of them all talked about this matter secretly behind their backs, and they naturally wouldn't let Yingzhao and the demon clan know, and the ministers of Xiqi couldn't prove it.
All they want is the loyalty of their ministers!
Although the three brothers swore to the ministers about how powerful Xiqi was, those who were interested could still see that the eldest prince and others were sad all day long, and they had nothing to do with those brothers who rebelled against Xiqi.
"The demon clan needs food ......" The three princes secretly discussed, they thought that as long as they had enough food, they could "hire" the demon clan to come over and fight against the Shang Kingdom, and they were moved!
"Big brother, don't worry even if the food in the underground warehouse is gone, we can collect it from the people in Xiqi City, as long as there is enough food, we can find the demon clan again......" Ji Fa's eyes moved.
Xiqi City has been stable for decades, and it has become richer and stronger under Ji Chang's management, and the rich households in the city have a lot of grain in their hands, as long as they do it to these people, how much food do they want?
"Is this okay?......" Bo Yikao was a little worried, his father had always been diligent in serving the people, and they were not doing this contrary to his father?
"Oh, my eldest brother, it's all at this time, do you still estimate this? Can you bear to watch the Ji family's country be taken away by others?"
"It's not a gentleman, it's not a husband, it's not a drug, it's not a husband! Big brother, make up your mind!"
Ji Fa and Ji Dan persuaded Bo Yi to take the test together, and now it has reached a critical moment of life and death, where do you need to care about those false names?
"In this way, let's do what the second brother says!" Bo Yi Kao finally stopped insisting, what he cared about most in his heart was the land of Xiqi and the title of the family!
The three of them made a decision, and notices were plastered all over the city: The people were asked to donate grain for the army! Moreover, this donation was not voluntary, and the officials set the specific amount of money that the rich and poor peasants needed to donate.
"As long as we have this food, we can continue to cooperate with the demon clan!" While Ji Fa was dreaming about the Hou Mansion, many people began to flee, the poor fled from Xiqi City with a few changes of clothes, and the rich began to secretly transport food outside the city.
"What a gift, these pariahs, the Ji family has raised you for so many years in vain!"
Things greatly exceeded the expectations of the three brothers, there are still few people who are willing to pay food, most people are trying to protect their own food, and the food collected is only two or three tenths of the original plan, how can it be possible to invite the greedy demon clan with these grains?
"If there is really no way, it is better to tell my father about Xiqi and ask him to have an idea!" The three of them are poor in donkey skills, and the youngest Ji Dan thought of his father, he is an old man who is skilled in housekeeping/affairs, and he must have a way to deal with the situation.
"That's the only way to do it now!" Bo Yi thought about it and still felt that Xiqi was recruited by Ying, and this guy didn't know what method he used to take the materials in the underground warehouse.
Bo Yi Kao called the old general over again, recounted the past, and instructed again: "Old man, this is roughly the case, please go and lie down again, tell your father about the situation here, and ask him to give him an idea!"
The situation was urgent, and he couldn't find anyone else who could be trusted for a while, so Bo Yikao had to entrust the matter to his hometown again.
"Three sons, please rest assured, I will definitely pass the word on!" said the old general.
He has followed the old marquis for decades and is very loyal to the Ji family.
The hometown will take a few young family members on the road, all the way to the dust, and when he arrives at Chaoge, it will be a few months later! He first settled a few of his companions in the capital to do internal response, and quietly sneaked back.
Xibohou felt very strange when he saw his hometown again, it is said that Xiqi gave Yingzhao food, and the demon clan should help Xiqi fight against the imperial court, why has such a long time passed, and there is still no movement?
"Master Hou, it's not a good thing!" the old man knelt on the ground with a "plop": "Ying Zhao has bad intentions, he emptied all the money and food of Xiqi but didn't mean to help us!"
The old man shed tears again and again, and he told Xibohou the whole thing 1510: "Master Hou, now Xiqi people are panicking, and the three sons are waiting for you to make an idea?"
The underground warehouse was emptied by Yingzhao, and Xibohou muttered to himself: "What kind of idea did I come up with, if it is not my race, its heart will be different, and Yingzhao can believe this guy!"
Xi Bohou didn't hear what the old general said at all, his mind was full of self-blame, he also knelt on the ground, looked up to the sky and shouted: "The descendants are not filial, and they have ruined the hard work of several generations of the Ji family!"
It was not easy for the Xiqi Ji clan to go all the way, they gradually became the chief of the western princes from a barbarian, how many people's efforts are contained in it?
Ji Chang inherited a prosperous Xiqi, but now it is a stormy vassal state, he married countless wives in his life, and gave birth to more than 100 sons.
"I'm guilty! The inheritance of my ancestors will be destroyed in my hands!" Xibohou regretted a little, he knew that he should not have different intentions, how good would it be to safely hand over the inheritance of his ancestors to his descendants?
