With a slight swing of the seemingly ordinary fishing rod, Jiang Shang accurately threw the big fish into the fish basket beside him. At the same time, the big fish also let go of its mouth and fell into the fish basket.

Then, Jiang Shang shook the fishing rod slightly, and saw that the fishing line connected to the straight hook quickly wrapped around the fishing rod.

Jiang Shang, who stood up with a fish basket, held the fishing rod on his shoulders, and slightly tidied his hat, hummed a song and went to the distance. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the distance and disappeared. He listened carefully to the sound of the songs that came from the distance, but it was exactly what Wu Ji sang before.

"Mr. Marquis, the family master comes here to fish every day, and most of them go back at this time! The family master refused to surrender before, so please don't blame him!" Wu Ji, who watched Jiang Shang leave, couldn't help but apologize to Ji Chang with a little embarrassed look.

He waved his hand and smiled slightly. Ji Chang, who had originally watched Jiang Shang leave, withdrew his gaze and said, "It was my marquis who spared the old man's atmosphere, not the old man's rudeness! Let's stop today, and the Japanese marquis will come to visit the old man in person."

"Great send to the marquis!" Wu Ji, who breathed a little relieved, couldn't help but bow to Ji Chang.

Ji Chang nodded and smiled and walked straight towards Nangong Shi, San Yisheng and others, and then the group left together.

On the way back, Nangong Shi couldn't help but look at Ji Chang with a faint smile, as if in a good mood, and said, "Marty, although that old man seems not an ordinary person, he is indeed a little rude. Why isn't the Marquis angry at all?"

"I am going out to visit the wise today. It is a blessing," Ji Chang shook his head and smiled, "I have seen the wise man for the first time. It is a great harvest. Just imagine that if I can't even see anyone, I will sigh?"

Listening to Ji Chang's words, Nangong Shi was slightly stunned. Instead, he reacted and nodded in agreement and smiled faintly.

San Yisheng, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "If that old man really doesn't want to meet, I'm afraid that we will be in vain when we arrive at the bank of the Wei River today and will not see anyone. Since we have seen it, it means that the old man is not rejecting us, and even wants to serve as an official and assist the marquis. However, if such a master is not sincere enough, how can he come out easily?"

"The Marquis is very sincere in coming here in person!" Nangong Shi couldn't help but say.

Ji Chang, whose eyes flashed, nodded and smiled: "Today, I am indeed a little hasty!"

...

Two days later, Ji Chang personally led the civil and military officials of Xiqi, and hundreds of followers came to the bank of the Weishui River.

Jiang Shang usually fished, but there was no Jiang Shang's figure on that day. But Bukit sat alone and meditated on the big stone that Jiang Shang usually fished.

"Wuji pays homage to the Marquis!" As if he was aware of his eyes, Wuji couldn't help but get up to meet Ji Chang and his party.

Ji Chang, who brought everyone off the horse, couldn't help but smile and looked at Bukit, "Bukit, why didn't the old man come to fish today?"

"Mr. Marquis, the teacher is about to have a distinguished guest today, so he is preparing at home. He specially ordered Wu Ji to welcome the guests here!" Wu Ji said with a smile.

Ji Chang was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled and said happily: "Okay, I'm here to lead the way!"

"Marty, please follow me!" Wu Ji, who was smiling, took the lead.

Seeing this, Ji Chang, who was smiling, immediately turned around and called everyone on the horse, followed Buji and walked forward.

Not long after, under the leadership of Bukit, the group came straight to Jiang Shang's seclusion and stopped in the open space in front of a large pastoral vegetable field.

"Oh, it's such a good place. The old man is so leisurely!" Nangong Shi couldn't help but smile and exclaimed.

San Yisheng smiled with a slight smile: "This vegetable garden layout is quite in line with the Bagua and Nine Palaces, which is quite interesting!"

"Mr. Marquis, please!" Wu Ji, who turned around with a smile, walked straight along a bluestone path in the vegetable garden.

"Dropping off the horse!" Ji Chang said with a smile and dismounted first, "Doctor San, General Nangong, you can follow me to visit the old man, and everyone else will wait again!"

While speaking, Ji Chang took Nangong Shi and San Yisheng directly to Wu Ji's footsteps and headed towards three simple thatched huts surrounded by fences not far away.

As soon as they approached the fence, Ji Chang and the other two heard a gentle and pleasant voice of a woman talking and a crisp and slightly tender girl laughing. When they got closer, they saw clearly that a woman who looked about thirty years old in her appearance was sitting with a beautiful and cute girl who looked like she looked eleven or twelve years old, basking in the sun, doing needlework, and talking and laughing softly.

"Master's wife! Junior sister Yi'er!" He opened the fence door and smiled and said to Ji Chang as a gesture of invitation. He turned to Wu Ji, who was wearing a white woman and a cute girl in blue. He couldn't help but bow to the young woman slightly and said.

Master’s wife? Junior sister? Listening to Wu Ji’s words, Nangong Shi, who was a little dumbfounded, glanced at Shen Yu and Jiang Yi, and couldn’t help but turn his head to San Yisheng beside him and whispered: “Doctor San, I heard it right, right?”

"I heard it too!" San Yisheng, who said softly, couldn't help but look at Shen Yu with a slightly strange expression.

Ji Chang, who was also stunned, turned to react and smiled and greeted Shen Yu slightly and said, "This should be the wife of the gentleman, right? Is this my husband Ji Chang, take the liberty to visit!"

"The private woman greets the Queen of Xibo!" Shen Yu, who smiled slightly, turned to Bukit and said, "Bukit, don't you invite your teacher out, aren't you afraid of neglecting your distinguished guests?"

While speaking, Shen Yu hurriedly smiled and led Ji Chang and the other two to sit down at the wooden tea table not far away, and presented fragrant tea: "There are only rough tea in the mountains and wild families. I hope the marquis and generals will not blame him!"

"Madam can tell our identity?" Nangong Shi couldn't help but look at Shen Yu slightly surprised. You know, they are wearing casual clothes today!

Shen Yu smiled faintly and couldn't help but say, "In Xiqi, no one knows that General Nangong and San Dafu are the right-hand men of Xibohou and important officials of the country!"

Nangong Shi and San Yisheng couldn't help but look at each other, and they could even guess our true identities.

"Mr. Marquis, use some mountain fruits!" In a crisp and pleasant voice, Jiang Yi came over with a plate of mountain fruits with a smile and carefully placed them on the tea table.

Seeing Jiang Yi, Ji Chang and the other two couldn't help but nod their heads with a smile. What a sensible and smart girl!

And at this moment, amid the cheerful and slightly old laughter, Jiang Shang brought Wu Ji to him: "Marquis Xibo came to the humble house, and Jiang Shang, the grass-roots man, lost the welcome!"

"Mr. Jiang is so serious! It's Ji Chang who disturbed Mr.'s purity!" Ji Chang hurriedly stood up and bowed with a smile.

San Yisheng and Nangong Shi, who also stood up and bowed slightly, saw Jiang Shang's appearance as the seventies and eighties, looked at Shen Yu next to him, and his expression on his face became even more strange.

"Father!" Jiang Yi looked at Jiang Shang in surprise, but did not come forward to disturb Jiang Shang.

Jiang Shang, who smiled and nodded slightly, turned to Ji Chang and said, "Mr. Marquis, let's talk inside the house!"

"Okay! Sir, please come first!" Ji Chang, who nodded happily with a smile, walked into the thatched hut in the middle with Jiang Shang.

In the courtyard, Shen Yu turned to Nangong Shi and San Yisheng with a smile and said, "General Nangong, Doctor San, please sit down!"

"Oh. Mrs. Jiang, you are polite!" San Yisheng responded with a smile and hurriedly pulled Nangong Shi and sat down.

Next, Jiang Shang and Ji Chang talked in the house for a long time, and even the lunch was sent by Shen Yu. No one knew what they were talking about, but in the afternoon, Jiang Shang, who walked out with Ji Chang with laughter, had already agreed to go to Xiqi with Ji Chang.

So, Jiang Shang then took his wife, daughter, disciple Wu Ji, and his only follower Jiang Shuang and Ji Chang to Xiqi City. As soon as Jiang Shang arrived in Xiqi City, Ji Chang personally ordered Jiang Shang to be given a mansion and Qin was granted the title of doctor, and Wu Ji was also named General Wude.

...

In a blink of an eye, most of the month passed and May quietly came.

At night, in the study where the Xibo Hou Mansion and Ji Chang's residence were working, San Yisheng and Nangong Shi came together.

Ji Chang stopped reading the memorial and couldn't help but look up and smile at San Yisheng and said, "Doctor San, how are you? I asked Dr. Jiang to handle government affairs with you. How did he do?"

"Mr. Marquis, San Yisheng is ashamed!" San Yisheng shook his head and sighed helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Marquis is wise, and Doctor Jiang is indeed extraordinary. In just over half a month, Doctor Jiang handled government affairs in Xiqi, with no matter how big or small, and he even suggested to me that several civil servants should be transferred from their original positions to a more suitable position. This, I have mentioned to Marquis before, that all the Marquis should be given. As a result, as Dr. Jiang said, those civil servants were doing very well in new positions. Doctor Jiang was capable of doing things and accumulating good deeds to others. Even if there were ten San Yisheng, it would not be enough!"

Ji Chang couldn't help but smile and said, "It's really rare to be able to make Doctor San admire him so much!"

"Marty, Doctor Jiang is a great wise man who gave me to Xiqi! San Yisheng is willing to assist Doctor Jiang and let him be the leader of my civil servants in Xiqi and the Prime Minister of Xiqi's government affairs!" San Yisheng immediately said to Ji Chang seriously.

Ji Chang was stunned for a moment and hesitated a little, but looking at San Yisheng's serious and sincere appearance, he still nodded happily with a smile.

On the side, Nangong Shi also smiled and said, "Mr. Marquis! Wu Ji is worthy of being a disciple of Doctor Jiang. Not only is he outstanding in martial arts, but he is also well versed in the art of setting up troops. In less than a month, Wu Ji can lead a single army, making all his subordinates convinced! Congratulations to Marquis, I, Xiqi, have another member of the generals who can recruit generals!"

"Oh?" Ji Chang, who raised his eyebrows and smiled, couldn't help but nodded, "Okay! God bless Xiqi!"

Listening to Ji Chang's words, San Yisheng and Nangong Shi couldn't help but smile at each other.

But at this moment, the servant of the sect suddenly came to the heretic: "Report to the Marquis, the border guards in the eight hundred miles are urgently reported!"

When Ji Chang and the other two, who were smiling at the doorkeeper outside, were a little surprised and solemn. The border guards reported urgently that someone invaded Xiqi! Such a thing has not happened in many years since Ji Chang governed Xiqi? The Xiqi army is more of an unstable factor outside of going out to pacify Xiqi. The people of Xiqi are afraid that they will soon forget what war is.

"Send it quickly!" Ji Chang, who had reacted first, shouted quickly with a slight flash of eyes.

As Ji Chang finished speaking, a soldier with a tired face suddenly stepped in and knelt down respectfully to Ji Chang and said, "Report to the Marquis, the Northeast Army is urgently reported. The Marquis of Beibo Chonghouhu was ordered by the king to lead a 200,000 army. He has arrived at the northeastern border of Xiqi and may invade Xiqi at any time!"

Listening to the words of the soldiers, San Yisheng and Nangong Shi couldn't help but change their faces slightly, but Ji Chang seemed very calm, as if nothing unexpected was happening.

"Okay, I know, let's go back!" Ji Chang, who calmly gave the sergeant orders, looked at the sergeant with respect, took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly, turned to his tone slightly low, and said with a cold killing intention: "Please all civil and military officials to discuss matters at night!"

Seeing this, San Yisheng and Nangong Shi couldn't help but responded solemnly: "Yes!"

...

In the quiet courtyard, Chen Xi, dressed in plain clothes, was standing quietly looking at the northeast.

"Miss. It seems that the northeast is..." Yan Xue, who was standing beside her, looked at the sky in the northwest and couldn't help but frowned slightly and spoke in surprise.

Chen Xi, who took a breath, said softly in a cold tone: "The wind and clouds are rising, and blood evil spirits gather. A big battle is about to break the peace that Xiqi has always been."

"I'll go see my father. You don't have to follow me!" Chen Xi, who said calmly, turned around and left.

Seeing this, Yan Xue was stunned. Her beautiful eyes flashed slightly and seemed to think of something, and she couldn't help but look worried.

...

In the living room of Ji Chang and Mrs. Tai Si, Mrs. Tai Si sitting on the main seat, heard Chen Xi's words sitting on the soft seat beside her, and stood up in shock: "What? Will Xiqi have a war? Do you want to go to war with the army? No. Xier, even if you really want to fight, that's a man's business. What are you going to do?"

"Mother, although Xier is a daughter, she can still kill the generals and seize the flag when she goes to the battlefield!" Chen Xi said, and then stood up and knelt down at Madam Tai Si, "Mother, can you tell that the person who led the troops to invade Xiqi this time was the Beibo Hou Chonghouhu, and he was also one of the accomplices of Yikao. This time, I must use his head to sacrifice to Yikao's spirit in the sky!"

Listening to Chen Xi's words, Mrs. Tai Si was slightly lost, and then she frowned and said hurriedly: "Xi'er, Mother understands your intentions! But, it's too dangerous on the battlefield!"

"Don't worry, Mother, it's hard to see if there is any talent under the Chonghouhu Tiger's tent, so I can't do anything to me! Even if there are people with advanced cultivation to help him, they may not be my opponent!" Chen Xi said confidently and stubbornly.

After hearing what Chen Xi said, Mrs. Tai Si was helpless, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

And at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Madam, don't persuade Xi'er anymore! Since she is determined to go, let her go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Chang walked straight in with his footsteps.

"Father!" Seeing Ji Chang, Chen Xi couldn't help but shout respectfully.

Ji Chang, who waved his hand to signal Chen Xi to get up, walked straight to the main seat and sat down. Then, even looking at Chen Xi who was getting up, he smiled helplessly and said, "Xi'er, my father knows that even if I don't agree, I'm afraid you will follow me, right?"

Listening to Ji Chang's words, Chen Xi, who lowered his head and pursed his lips slightly, did not say much, but that was obviously a default.

Seeing this, Mrs. Tai Si couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"Marty, what's going on? Is it really that the Marquis of Beibo led his troops to invade?" Then Mrs. Tai Si hurriedly looked at Ji Chang.

Ji Chang, who nodded slightly, couldn't help but speak seriously: "Chonghouhu personally led a 200,000 army! Moreover, these 200,000 troops were all elite soldiers and generals who followed Chonghouhu to fight south and north. Among them, there were 60,000 soldiers and horses of his younger brother Chong Heihu. You know, Chong Heihu is also a powerful general, and he also knows Taoism, which is very difficult to deal with."
