Chapter 69: Saving Young Master Yi Kao (please read more)
The name of Xibohou was Ji Chang, and his second son was named Ji Fa. But why was the eldest son named Boyikao?
Bo Zhong and Shu Ji, Bo means that he is the eldest son, Yi represents the status of the heir apparent, and Kao is his name.
So the real name of Ji Chang's eldest son is actually Ji Kao, but this name always sounds like nonsense, so everyone prefers to call him Boyikao.
Boyikao was proficient in poetry, calligraphy, etiquette and music, and was good at playing the piano, much like his father. Unfortunately, he was not a sage after all. He did not know the fortune and was not good at reasoning, so he rashly went to Chaoge.
This trip is very different from Ji Chang's entry into the court seven years ago. Xibohou knew the number of days and was safe. Even if the ministers accompanied him, it would have no effect. It was better to stay in Xiqi and stabilize the people's livelihood.
Although Boyikao is smart, he is not worldly. Without the help of a wise man, this trip will naturally be extremely dangerous.
Prince Xiqi wants to go to Chaoge to save his father. No matter whether this is feasible or not, since the decision has been made, he should be accompanied by civil servants who can act as a think tank.
But the strange thing is that among Xiqi's ministers, San Yisheng, the smartest one, only tried to dissuade him but did not go with him. The other civil and military ministers also said nothing.
Boyikao didn't care about these trivial matters, or in other words, he was not aware of them. He was leaning against the carriage window and falling asleep soundly.
Unknowingly, he wandered around the Lunar Star, transformed into a Jade Rabbit, and ran around the Guanghan Palace. After a while, he still couldn't see all the scenery here.
"I will never come back."
He prepared three rare treasures, namely the Seven Incense Cart, the Sobering Mat and the White-faced Monkey.
As he was walking through the mountains and forests, he saw smoke curling up and knew someone was sleeping in the open, so he hurried towards that place.
It's truly a dreamland.
"This rabbit is really timid."
Jiang Ziya used his escape technique to go from Youli to Yanshan, arriving at dawn.
He originally came out of Xiqi to offer treasures and rescue Xibohou.
The soldiers all knew that Xibohou did not want Boyi to be admitted to Chaoge, so they were naturally worried about this move.
"What are you thinking about?"
She saw a white rabbit squatting under the laurel tree, looking up at the laurel tree. It was quite cute, so she immediately leaned down and hugged it in her arms.
"My eldest son, there is an old man named Jiang who came from Youli City and said he was delivering a message for the Marquis."
Jiang Ziya saw that the important matter had been accomplished and was unwilling to delay it any longer.
"If sir hadn't come to deliver the message, I would have died in Chaoge."
Boyikao felt that everything in the world was complicated and he wished he could live here forever.
"Mr. Jiang is acquainted with my father and has come a long way. Why don't you come back to Xiqi with us and rest for a few days before returning to Chaoge."
"There's no turning back when you draw your bow. If you don't go back to Xiqi, go straight to Chaoge."
When he saw this scene, he felt sad, and when he thought of Xibohou who was imprisoned in Youli City, he felt even more sad.
"Who is coming?"
This sacred tree has been rooted here for who knows how many years. The branches on the tree are bare, not a leaf or a flower can be seen.
"Where did the rabbit come from?"
King Zhou was rich all over the world and was accustomed to seeing gold, silver and jewelry. Boyi Kao wanted to impress him, so the treasures he presented were naturally extraordinary.
"My surname is Jiang. He is a Chaoge scholar. At the invitation of Xi Bohou of Youli City, I came to deliver a message to the Crown Prince. I would like to trouble the general to report it on his behalf."
When the soldiers heard this, they looked at each other with suspicion.
Boyikao heard the ape's pitiful cry, so he went to look for the ape. He opened the cover and saw the ape pulling on the bars of the cage and whining continuously.
Although the soldiers were confused, the matter was very important and they did not dare to neglect it, so they hurried to the carriage to report it.
"The elders have come from afar, and the young ones have come a long way to welcome you."
Boyikao felt that if he only presented treasures and did not talk about Ji Chang's affairs, King Zhou might be able to know Xiqi's loyalty.
Boyikao invited him again and again, but Jiang Ziya refused, so he had no choice but to give up.
The fairy held up the jade rabbit with both hands, turned it around, and looked into those ruby-like eyes.
Boyikao walked forward quickly, ordered the soldiers to retreat, and saluted.
The soldiers came to inquire.
"Mr. Jiang, the mountains are high and the rivers are long. See you soon."
After reading the letter, Boyikao decided to return to Xiqi.
Jiang Ziya didn't show any courtesy and just stood there quietly, not even taking the shining weapon in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, cherish it."
Jiang Ziya cupped his fists and saluted, then left the forest and escaped back to Chaoge.
"That's good, you can stay with me in the Guanghan Palace and avoid the pain of coldness."
"Such a fairyland, it really makes people forget to leave."
But when he lowered his head and saw his fluffy body again, he remembered that he was already a rabbit.
Jiang Ziya turned aside slightly, and then took out the silk book from his arms.
This is one of the reasons why Wen Zhong wants to become an official even though he is already in the Golden Immortal realm.
A fairy flew in from Guanghan Palace. She had eyebrows like black, fair skin and bones, and a graceful figure. She came with the wind, and the sleeves of her skirt fluttered gently.
Boyikao watched Jiang Ziya leave and was about to pack up and return to Xiqi when he suddenly heard a cry.
Boyikao took the silk letter and immediately recognized it as his father's handwriting. Seeing that the words in the letter were sincere and the interests were clearly stated, he finally felt that his actions were not thoughtful.
The fairy shook her head and held the Jade Rabbit in her arms again.
Sobering mat, as the name suggests, allows a drunken person to wake up immediately while lying on the mat. It is probably prepared for people who do not have a seven-scented car.
Boyikao raised his head with great effort again, but he touched a slippery surface. His heart trembled, and he felt like Meng Lang.
Boyikao collected the silk book and bowed heavily to Jiang Ziya.
When the night watchman saw someone coming, he quickly took out his weapon.
Bo Yikao raised his head with great effort, but still could not see the treetops on top of the laurel.
…
"Things have happened here, but I still have to go back to the Si Tianjian of the palace to light the knot on time."
Boyikao thought for a moment and jumped back toward the laurel tree.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite. The old man and the Marquis hit it off as old friends, so such a trivial matter as sending a letter is of no importance."
Boyikao raised his head and looked at the sky where the moon was no longer visible.
The eldest son had been out of Xiqi for less than a day. Even if Lord Hou knew about it, Youli was hundreds of miles away from here. Could it be that this man was on his way before they set off?
The whining sound was made by this ape.
Boyikao suddenly woke up from his dream and got off the carriage regardless of his sore and numb arms.
This laurel tree looks like it is made of cold jade and made of colored glaze. The lunar star shines brightly and reflects the stars in the sky, making the tree shine and shine, which is quite extraordinary.
Boyikao was very grateful to Jiang Ziya, and when he saw that he was leaving, he felt a little reluctant to say goodbye.
"Eldest Young Master, when should we set off back to Xiqi?"
The Seven-Fragrant Cart was a treasure left behind by Emperor Xuanyuan when he conquered Chiyou. Sitting on it, no oxen or horses were needed to pull it. You could go east when you wanted, and west when you wanted, so it would be considered precious to future generations.
Boyikao murmured silently.
"If you never come back..."
The white-faced ape is a living creature, good at knowing three thousand little songs and eight hundred big songs, able to sing the songs before the banquet, and good at dancing on the palms of hands.
Of course Jiang Ziya is not coveting a small salary, but as an official in the imperial court, he can enjoy the luck of human beings, which is of great benefit to his practice.
This time, Jiang Ziya did not avoid it.
Jade Rabbit froze, not daring to make the slightest move.
Thanks to Goodbye Nanshan for the tip.
Thanks to Xie Qiaochun for the reward (this is the first time the reward for this book has exceeded the ten yuan mark).
The monthly tickets will be tallied up afterward. In the past, I would remember every ticket I made. Now I have improved a little bit, and I finally understand what the troubles of happiness are.
