"The thing...... It shouldn't be like this! Shang Rong said with his mouth open.

"How could it not, if it weren't for the fact that the king deliberately forgot to disband the troops for me and others, then there was only one possibility," Bi Gan said coldly.

Ji Zi also interjected on the side: "In my opinion, the prime minister's speculation is very reasonable, although the king may have more or less the intention of cleaning up our private soldiers, but he has not yet done anything. Otherwise, the king's actions this time are really incomprehensible, you didn't see the king snatch the woman, not only did not treat it as a slave, but enshrined it in the temple like a god."

"Ah, there's such a thing?" , Shang Rong didn't know about this, and asked Jizi urgently: "What is going on?" ”

Jizi shook his head and smiled, and said to Shang Rong: "The Taishi and the prime minister have been busy arranging a ceremony to celebrate the enthronement recently, and they haven't noticed this, but my subordinates have specially brought me the news, saying that the king not only did not directly include Daji from Yousu into the palace, but arranged it in Nuwa Temple, and I don't know what kind of thoughts he has."

"What about Su Bohou?" , Shang Rong asked.

"Naturally, he is also locked up in Nuwa Temple, but I heard the news from my subordinates, it seems that the king intends to let Su Bohou go back"

"This is really strange, what does the king want to do?" , Shang Rong frowned, and there was a tired look on his old face.

……

Su Cheng was broken, and Su Bohou's family was all escorted to Chaoge, and when this news reached Xiqi, it was almost a month before Di Xin sent troops to attack Xiqi.

In the side hall

Xibohou Jichang also worked hard all day, looking extremely tired, and was immediately surprised when he heard the news, and the tea bowl that had just reached his mouth snapped and fell into pieces.

Although this situation was expected at the time of the alliance, he never expected this situation to come so suddenly, and the speed of Di Xin's methods was so rapid that the various methods discussed after the alliance could not be used at all. Now that he has lost Su Bohou's help, the things he has planned for many years have suffered serious setbacks, which makes Ji Chang's heart ache.

When there was nowhere to vent his anger and anger, a person flashed into the side hall.

"Plop!"

Ji Fa knelt down in front of Ji Chang: "Father, the child is going to save Daji!" ”

"What?"

Ji Chang was thinking more about what happened after losing Su Hu's arm at the moment, and he almost forgot about it, in Ji Chang's eyes, although Daji's reputation spread all over the world, the more important purpose of the marriage was still out of political considerations.

At this moment, he was also taken aback when he saw Ji Fa's angry and murderous appearance, although he could understand his son's mood, he never expected Ji Fa to react so strongly.

"You? How do you save it, now everyone has taken it to Chaoge, Xiqi is far away from Chaoge, you also know, not to mention that Emperor Xin's martial arts are strong, and Chaoge has heavy troops, even if your father agrees to you to save it, but if you really send troops to attack Chaoge for a woman, don't you think this matter is a bit too child's play? ”

"Father, I don't think this matter is too child's play, everyone in the world knows that Su and I Xiqi have been married, and Nada Ji will soon become my wife, even if it is not worth it in the eyes of others to send troops for her, but no matter what, I still want to save her!" , Ji Fa's face was pale, his voice was a little low, and his speed of speech was a little slow, but he said it word by word, revealing a taste of unwaveringness.

"That is, a woman, although she is very good-looking, but it is not so big that we take such a big risk for this!" , Ji Chang said solemnly, "But besides, I haven't seen how much you like her, and I've never seen you mention it since I called Xiqi!" ”

Ji Fa's gaze slowly moved away, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said with a little self-deprecation: "I only understand now that you never know how much you like someone, until you see that she may be with someone else."

"So I'm going to save her!"

"No! You must not be impulsive", Ji Chang said sternly.

"But it's too late," Ji Fa said hurriedly.

"That's not going to work", his father Ji Chang was unmoved.

"This matter still needs to be discussed and come up with a proper arrangement, not to mention that Di Xin's move is meant to kill chickens and monkeys to show me, if there is any movement, just give it a handle in his hands, now is an extraordinary period, and it must not be easy to act rashly, so as not to fall into the truth, it may also bring a crisis to my great cause of Xiqi, do you understand?"

"Yes", Ji Chang saw that all the requests were fruitless, but instead provoked the old man's voice, so he had to respond.

Just when he turned around and walked out of the hall, he glanced in the southeast direction, then took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said in his heart:

"Since you don't agree, then I'll have to go myself!"

……

The next morning, Ji Chang heard the news from the guards that the second son was missing, and Deng Shi was very angry: "Alas, this brainless, how can you let your father do now!" ”

After Ji Chang lost his temper, he discussed with several close ministers for a long time, and then summoned many generals in the side hall.

"General Hong Yao listens to orders!" , Ji Fa said loudly with a majestic expression.

"In!" Hong Yao replied loudly after coming out of the crowd.

"You lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to the northwest, sweep away the homeless bandits who have been wandering there, and collect them into troops as much as possible, and then march east along Weishui, until the Qi, Han and other countries, and obey orders at any time."

"Yes!"

"General Nangong listens to the order!"

"In!"

"Let you step up the training of the army, and rush to Licheng with this king in half a month"

"Yes!"

……

March in Licheng is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies

The weeds in the outskirts of the city, which grow wildly after the spring rains, are already paved with roads that turn to dead grass in winter.

Ji Fa looked at the dirt splashed by the horse's hooves expressionlessly, licked his lips that were a little dry, and rubbed the blue and purple blood marks on the inner thigh, while silently praying in his heart: "I hope I won't come too late, you must take care!" ”

Then he nibbled on the dry food in the package a few times, drank a large mouthful of water from the sheepskin bag, then flew on his horse, and then galloped forward again, without looking at Li Cheng behind him

……

Nuwa Palace outside Chaoge City

Daji's expression had regained his composure, and he said to his father, who was standing in front of him who seemed to have aged ten years overnight, "It's too late! “

"Daddy, now that your mother is gone, it's useless for you to be sad, but to break your body. Daddy, you don't have to worry about me, as long as you can be safe and sound, what does it matter if your daughter is in a cage! Daji's eyes turned red again, but she still tried to raise her head so that the tears would not flow.

Su Hu looked at Daji in a daze, with tears in his eyes, "But, you ......"

"Daddy, rest assured, things have come to this point, my daughter is afraid that it will be difficult to escape from the tiger's mouth, and my daughter will accept her fate, but I don't know if I will have a chance to meet my father again in this life, and I can't do my filial piety in front of your knees anymore, and please take care of yourself!"

Speaking of this, Daji couldn't hold back any longer, and the tears rolled down like pearls with broken threads.
