Chapter 398 Heading to Western Qi
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“This is a good idea. However, who should be ordered to send the imperial edict to the Marquis of the West?” Fei Zhong asked as he bowed.
He knew that the Marquis of the West was not an ordinary person, and if they sent an ordinary person, he would most likely use all sorts of excuses to get away with it.
If not, even if the Marquis of the West received the edict, he could deliberately delay it for ten days to half a month.
Western Qi and the North Sea were separated by thousands of miles. By the time the army of Western Qi arrived, the rebel army from the North Sea would have already reached the capital.
Di Xin and the other ministers also thought of this.
Who would be the most suitable person to go?
“Your Majesty, this old subject wishes…”
The first one to speak was naturally Great Shang’s iron-boned official, Wen Zhong.
However, Di Xin did not even think about it and directly rejected the offer.
All the gods and Buddhas were trying their best to transfer Wen Zhong away from the capital, and Di Xin would never let them succeed.
“Your Majesty, please allow me to make the announcement.”
The second one to speak was Huang Feihu, the King of Wucheng.
Other than Wen Zhong, the King of Wucheng was the second most powerful official in the capital.
Of course, now there was also Zhao Hao.
However, it was undeniable that the King of Wucheng was very powerful.
From a mortal’s point of view, the King of Wucheng had already reached the peak.
Emperor Xin thought for a while and shook his head.
The King of Wucheng’s strength was not bad in the early stage of the story, but it also depended on who he was compared with. If the King of Wucheng went to Western Qi now, with his intelligence, he would most likely fall into the old man’s trap.
Just as everyone was at their wits ‘end, Zhao Hao stood up and said, “I think it’s better for me to go there personally. After all, I was the one who suggested it. If someone else were to do it, it’s inevitable that it would be exposed.”
Zhao Hao’s words instantly woke up all the officials in the room.
Only then did they remember that Zhao Hao’s position and ability were enough to be the candidate for the imperial edict announcement.
“But, Big Brother, if you leave, then my safety…”
Di Xin obviously did not want to do that.
Ever since he changed the plot, Di Xin had been living in fear every day. He was afraid that the Heavenly Courts’ gods would be so anxious that they would punish him.
In the eyes of outsiders, he was very unyielding.
In fact, he was very timid.
It wasn’t easy for him to have Zhao Hao, who could rival Golden Immortals, and he didn’t want Zhao Hao to leave.
“Don’t worry. The ceremony has just started. You are the destined emperor of Great Shang, the emperor of the human race. The human race’s fate on you will not allow you to die,” Zhao Hao said immediately after he saw Di Xin’s expression.
Naturally, Emperor Xin knew that he carried the luck of the human race.
However, it was still an illusory thing, and in Emperor Xin’s opinion, real strength was the most reliable.
“With my speed, it’ll take me at least a day or two. Moreover, with the Grand Preceptor here, Your Majesty’s safety will be guaranteed.”
Zhao Hao said a few words to Emperor Xin, then cupped his hands in Grand Preceptor Wen’s direction.
Even Zhao Hao didn’t dare to say that he could defeat Grand Preceptor Wen.
The main reason was that Grand Preceptor Wen had too many tricks up his sleeve.
However, Zhao Hao could tell that Wen Zhong could break through at any time, and it was obvious that he had been suppressing his cultivation for a long time.
Although he didn’t know the reason, Zhao Hao could roughly guess.
Moreover, the two golden whips were made of two Heaven Immortal golden dragons that had taken form. They were not something that ordinary Heaven Immortals could fight against.
“Don’t worry, Emperor Xin. With me in the capital, no evil spirit can hide from me,” Wen Zhong also said in an unyielding manner.
Seeing this, Di Xin had no choice but to agree.
On the other side, Huang Feihu, the King of Wucheng, also said kindly, “The road to Western Qi is long, why don’t you ride on my mount?”
Zhao Hao thought for a while and didn’t refuse.
In his heart, he was still thinking that anyone with a bit of status would have a mount as a means of transportation in this world. He should find a time to get a mount as well.
At the South Gate of the capital…
Emperor Xin personally led the officials to see Zhao Hao out of the city.
It could be said that he had given Zhao Hao a lot of face.
Wen Zhong, Bi Gan, Wei Ziqi, Huang Feihu, Shang Rong, Fei Zhong, and the other officials all poured wine for Zhao Hao as a farewell.
Zhao Hao rode on the Five-Colored Divine Ox. He didn’t bring any followers with him, so he didn’t say anything. He pulled the reins, and the Five-Colored Divine Ox disappeared into the horizon.
Wen Zhong stood on the city gate and watched Zhao Hao leave. He felt worried.
“Your Majesty. The North Sea’s rebel army is now moving South, and the North doesn’t have enough troops to stop Yuan Futong. By the time the Marquis of the West leads his troops there, it will be too late.”
Suddenly, Di Xin looked at Wen Zhong in surprise.
“Grand Preceptor, do you want to lead the army to the North Sea to quell the rebellion?”
Grand Preceptor Wen suddenly frowned.
The plan had been set long ago, but Wen Zhong always had the thought of going to the North Sea.
Wen Zhong naturally didn’t know that this was a matter of destiny.
However, what Di Xin and Zhao Hao did was against the will of the heavens.
“Grand Preceptor, you should stay in the capital. I’m counting on you to keep me safe,” Di Xin said with difficulty.
When Grand Preceptor Wen heard that the emperor was in danger, he immediately suppressed the thought of going to the North Sea.
…
The Shang official said, “During the six years of Emperor Xin’s reign, The Empire Project that mobilized the most manpower, took the longest time to start, and consumed the most financial resources.”
As a transmigrator, Emperor Xin knew the importance roads to a country.
Which was why he didn’t mind spending half of the dynasty’s strength to build roads within Great Shang and between the various vassal states.
With the capital as the center, all the roads led to the four seas and eight wastelands, various feudal vassals, and 800 countries.
After five years of construction, the main roads were finally completed.
Western Qi was the end of this official road.
Outside Western Qi City…
Outside the pavilion, by the side of the ancient road, the grass was green and the sky was clear.
There were tables and chairs carved out of bluestone in the pavilion, and fresh fruits were placed on the table. In the middle of the table was a chessboard.
A scholarly young man and an old man with deep eyes were playing chess while chatting.
“Father, I’ve just received a tip-off that Yuan Futong from the North Sea has revolted. The scale of the rebellion is huge. I think they’ve already taken over the North Sea. However, the time of the rebellion is one year earlier than the time you predicted.”
The old man’s expression was calm as he said indifferently, “That’s why I said that the mysteries of heaven are unpredictable.
“It’s already a great disrespect for us mortals to be able to pry into the secrets of heaven. How can you predict the future like a god?”
