I Will Transmigrate In 10 Days; Fortunately I Have A Cultivation Emulator

399 This General can Enforce the Imperial Edict and Kill People

As he spoke, the old man took out a wooden round plate. In the middle of the plate, two long needles were pointing at the number one and twelve respectively. There was also a thin needle that was clicking and jumping.

“It’s a pity that the human race can no longer obtain any merit. Otherwise, with this item, that Emperor Shou who replaced the pillar with a beam would be able to reach the heavens in one step and become an immortal with merit.”

The young scholar sighed.

“Father, you’ve praised Di Xin more than you’ve praised Er’chen. Have you forgotten that we’re going to rebel?”

The old man glanced at the young scholar with an imposing manner, and the young man immediately fell silent.

“Rebel? Rebel against who?

“I just want to do what a son should do.

“In order to prevent the rise of our Western Qi, Wen Ding used the excuse of imprisoning your grandfather, Ji Li, and brutally killed him in prison. This grudge is only a family grudge.

“However, as a subject, this old man greatly admires this emperor. In the years after he took over the throne, he opened up the canal and direct roads, using work as relief to gather all the refugees in the world into these two unprecedented actions.

“Just this one policy made Great Shang not worry about the refugees causing trouble. This kind of vision and courage, this old man Ji Chang is ashamed of his inferiority.”

The young scholar was shocked.

He had thought that these two projects were meant to connect the four countries and increase the Shang dynasty’s control over the surrounding countries.

He did not expect that there was such a deep scheme hidden within.

The young scholar was Ji Chang’s eldest son, Ji Kao, the most famous prince of Western Qi.

He was as gentle as jade, his talent was impressive, and he was especially skilled in playing the zither.

The old man was none other than the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang.

Ji Kao said worriedly, “Father, the Shang dynasty is powerful now. Their armored cavalry and gunpowder are as powerful as the immortals. Can we really defeat them?”

Ji Chang shook his head calmly, looked at the sky, and said helplessly, “This world is not the world of the human race, after all.

“It doesn’t matter whether the Shang dynasty is strong or weak. Even if they have the power of gunpowder and the ability to cast iron, they are still ordinary masters. They can’t escape this fate.

“The human race has been dependent on the immortals and gods for hundreds of millions of years. The most important thing for us is not strength, but who decides our fate.

“This is the will of the heavens. The will of the heavens can not be defied!”

“The Heavenly Dao is chaotic, but fate remains unchanged.

“The rebellion in the North Sea has already begun, and Wen Zhong will rise up to suppress it soon. This is his fate! When there is no one left in the Shang dynasty, it will be the best time for me to avenge my father—”

Before Ji Chang could finish his sentence, a black shadow suddenly descended from the sky.

He suddenly raised his head and saw a Five-Colored Divine Ox in the sky, roaring.

Ji Chang was shocked.

Zhao Hao jumped down from the back of the Five-Colored Divine Ox and landed in front of Ji Chang and Kao.

“Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, receive the imperial edict.

“From today onward, immediately lead 100,000 soldiers and set off for the North Sea to quell the rebellion. This is an emergency. There can’t be any mistakes!”

Ji Chang and Ji Kao were dumbfounded to see Zhao Hao descending from the sky.

“Father, what did you say just now?” asked Ji Kao.

Ji Chang said, “Kao’er, it’s hard to predict the will of the heavens. It’s already disrespectful for us mortals to be able to see a little bit of the secrets of the heavens. How can you predict the future like a god?”

“Does this sentence sound familiar?” asked Ji Kao.

Ji Chang replied, “I only said that Wen Zhong was ordered to pacify the North Sea, but I didn’t say when. Don’t just stand there. Go and receive the imperial edict.”

Ji Chang’s face was immediately filled with a smile. He laughed and walked out of the pavilion while stroking his beard.

“I wonder which exalted immortal has arrived.

“The emperor has decreed that a small banner officer should be summoned, but you have to make a trip personally.”

Zhao Hao looked at the sage-like Ji Chang in front of him and sighed. He did have a unique temperament. No wonder he could become the flag of the Saints.

“I am the General of Great Shang, Zhao Hao. This is a matter of great importance. Marquis of the West, please accept the imperial edict.”

Ji Chang hurriedly knelt down with Ji Kao to receive the imperial edict.

Zhao Hao immediately took out the imperial edict that he had prepared earlier and read it aloud.

“The Human Emperor’s edict: Yuan Futong, the rebel of the North Sea, has hidden evil intentions and is rebelling! We have heard that the Marquis of the West is famous. The 99 sons under him are all wise and powerful, all talented generals and ministers.

“He also has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under him, and We hope that the Marquis of the West will place the country’s great cause as his top priority and immediately lead the army to the North Sea to suppress the rebellion.

“This matter concerns the safety of millions of people, so it can not be delayed. This is a military order. If there is any delay, he will be punished according to military law. As long as the rebellion is not quelled, the Marquis of the West can not return to his country.”

He had never expected that the current emperor, Di Xin, would target him.

He did not expect that his family’s background would be so well known by Di Xin.

One had to know that his 99 sons were top secret.

Even in the entire Western Qi, not many people knew about it.

He had not expected that Emperor Xin, who was far away in the capital, knew everything about it.

The rebellion was not fair, and he could not return home?

He was sure that he, Ji Chang, would be the target.

Ji Chang asked Zhao Hao helplessly as he received the imperial edict, “My Lord, that Yuan Futong is far away in the North Sea. My troops are all in Western Qi. Why does His Majesty want me to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion?”

Since Zhao Hao had come over, he naturally had made full preparations and immediately replied, “Marquis of the West, as a subject, you only need to listen to the emperor’s orders. It’s not the duty of a subject to figure out the imperial edict.”

Ji Chang’s expression was still extremely ugly as he spoke again.

“Western Qi hasn’t had any wars for many years. The military still needs to be reorganized. After a few days of reorganization, I will personally lead the army to the North Sea to suppress the rebellion.”

This was also something that Zhao Hao had thought of in advance.

The best way was to drag it out. As long as that Yuan Futong from the North Sea attacked fast enough, even Western Qi wouldn’t need to send out troops as Great Shang would send out their troops.

Zhao Hao said with a sneer, “Marquis of the West, the emperor has ordered me to come here personally to hand the imperial edict. This is a matter of great importance. You have to accept this imperial edict, whether you want to or not.

“If we don’t send troops immediately, this general can enforce the imperial decree and bring troops to kill. Besides, believe it or not, if I want to bring you two to the capital, there are not many people in the world who can stop me.”

Zhao Hao’s words were very casual.

However, Ji Chang was already drenched in a cold sweat.
