Chapter 151 Bo Yikao Goes to Chaoge
As soon as Bo Yikao finished speaking, Ji Fa stepped forward eagerly, his face full of worry and anxiety.
"Brother, this is absolutely not allowed."
Ji Fa's voice was filled with urgency and determination as he continued:
"My father has been imprisoned by the king and is suffering. If you risk going to Chaoge again, what will happen to Xiqi if something unexpected happens?"
Bo Yikao was slightly startled when he heard Ji Fa's words. He turned to look at Ji Fa, and his heart was filled with ripples.
He understood his brother's worries and concerns, but at this moment, he had only one belief in his heart, which was to rescue his father as soon as possible.
"Brother, I understand your concerns."
Bo Yikao's voice was deep and powerful. "But my father is in prison now. As the eldest son, I have the responsibility and obligation to rescue him."
After a pause, Bo Yikao took a deep breath and continued:
"If something unexpected happens after I arrive in Chaoge, then my brother will handle all the affairs in Xiqi, and the civil and military officials will assist me wholeheartedly."
After hearing what Bo Yikao said, Ji Fa's eyes revealed deep worry and helplessness.
He understood that once his brother made up his mind, any dissuasion and persuasion would be in vain.
However, he couldn't suppress his worries, so he took a deep breath and tried to calm his heart.
"elder brother!"
Ji Fa spoke, his voice trembling, "Have you ever thought about what Sister Daji would do if something unexpected happened to you?"
"She loves you deeply. If something happens to you, how will she bear this heavy blow? Can you bear to see her heartbroken?"
Ji Fa's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Bo Yikao's heart.
He stood there in a daze, his brows furrowed, as if he was under tremendous pressure and struggle.
Finally, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his voice becoming low and firm:
"Brother, how could I not know how Daji feels? Why would I want her to worry about me and cry for me?"
"But I am also worried about my father's safety. I am concerned about whether he is being imprisoned in Youli and suffering inhuman torture every day."
Bo Yikao's eyes flashed with determination, and he continued:
"Besides, the reason why my father was imprisoned was because he saved Daji's family."
"So, I can't ignore it, both emotionally and logically. I must go on this trip to Chaoge."
He turned and looked at Ji Fa, a look of determination flashed in his eyes:
"Brother, I will tell Daji about this. She is reasonable and will understand my decision. I'll leave Xiqi's government affairs to you."
Ji Fa looked at Bo Yikao's eyes that were as firm as a rock, and knew in his heart that his brother was determined to go to Chaoge to save his father, and any more words would be futile.
He felt a deep sense of powerlessness, as if he had thousands of words to say, but at this moment they all turned into silent sighs.
Ji Fa walked to Bo Yikao's side with heavy steps, his deep eyes flashing with concern and respect for his brother.
He patted Bo Yikao's shoulder gently, an action full of tacit understanding and trust between brothers.
Ji Fa's voice revealed firmness and support, as if a warm current was injected into Bo Yikao's heart.
"Brother, since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything more."
Jifa's voice was steady and powerful, with an unquestionable firmness.
"Brother, please be careful when you go to Chaoge."
Jifa continued, his tone full of concern and admonition.
"Don't worry about Xiqi's political affairs. I will take care of it."
Jifa finally said, his voice full of confidence and determination.
When Bo Yikao listened to his brother's words, a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He knew that his younger brother was a smart and capable person, and would definitely be able to handle the important task of Xiqi's political affairs.
Bo Yikao looked at Ji Fa, his eyes gleaming with trust, his voice full of warmth and admiration:
"Brother, you are very capable. Both in wisdom and courage, you are far superior to me. Whenever I talk about you with my father, he always praises you highly."
When Jifa heard his brother praising him like that, he felt both moved and humbled.
Bo Yikao paused for a moment, raised his head, looked at Ji Fa with a firm gaze, and continued:
"Brother, this trip to Chaoge may be an unknown journey with many uncertainties, but it does not necessarily mean there will be danger."
"Perhaps, things will go as we wish, and we can successfully rescue my father, and then I will return to Xiqi with my father."
There was a hint of optimism and confidence in Bo Yikao's words. He tried to use such emotions to infect Ji Fa and alleviate his worries.
When Jifa heard his brother's words, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
He knew that his brother said this to reassure him.
"Brother, I believe in your ability. You will definitely be able to successfully rescue father and return safely."
Jifa nodded and said firmly.
Bo Yikao smiled slightly, patted Ji Fa's shoulder, and signaled him not to worry.
After a while, Bo Yikao turned his gaze to San Yisheng standing beside him and asked solemnly:
"Doctor San, what rare treasures can I offer to the king from my land of Xiqi to show my sincerity and respect?"
San Yisheng nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a thoughtful look.
He thought for a moment, then spoke slowly:
"My Lord, there is a rare treasure hidden deep in our Xiqi territory, and it is called the 'Seven Fragrance Chariot'."
"This chariot is extraordinary. It was the chariot that Emperor Xuanyuan rode when he fought Chiyou in the North Sea."
"If a person stands on it, there is no need to adjust the direction manually. It is like it has intelligence and can automatically identify east, south, west and north."
When Bo Yikao heard this, a hint of surprise and curiosity flashed in his eyes.
"Oh? There is such a magical thing?"
Bo Yikao exclaimed, "If we can really present this precious chariot to the king, it will surely demonstrate the sincerity of Xiqi."
San Yisheng nodded, adjusted his thoughts, and continued:
"My Lord, you are right. In addition to the Seven Fragrance Chariot left by Emperor Xuanyuan, I, Xiqi, also have a treasure called 'Wine Sobering Felt'."
"This sobering felt is not an ordinary thing. It can help a drunk person get rid of the drunkenness quickly."
“A drunk person, whether very drunk or slightly drunk, can quickly dispel the drunkenness in a moment by lying on the sobering mat, as if he had not drunk any alcohol at all.”
After listening to what San Yisheng said about the sobering felt, Bo Yikao praised it repeatedly:
"This treasure is very novel. It can actually wake up a drunk person. If you have this treasure, you will never be afraid of drinking with others again."
He imagined himself drinking with the heroes, and when he was half drunk he relied on the sobering felt to stay sober, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of heroism in his heart.
San Yisheng smiled and nodded, with wisdom glittering in his eyes.
He continued:
"My Lord, these two treasures are enough to show the king our sincerity."
After hearing this, Bo Yikao nodded slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said:
"Doctor San, you are indeed my Xiqi's think tank."
"During this trip to Chaoge, the treasures will be yours. When we set off, please be sure to bring these two treasures with you."
Upon hearing this, San Yisheng bowed deeply to Bo Yikao and said:
"Don't worry, young master. I will definitely live up to your trust."
As San Yisheng finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.
After a while, Bo Yikao said again:
"Doctor San, I have a rare white-faced monkey in my house. It was given to me by my younger brother Ji Fa on my birthday. I want to take it with me when I go to Chaoge this time."
San Yisheng was slightly startled and asked doubtfully:
"Sir, what is so special about this ape? Can you tell me in detail?"
Bo Yikao smiled, with a hint of gentleness in his voice:
"This ape is extraordinary."
"Not only is he good at singing 3,000 short songs and 800 long songs, his singing is melodious and graceful, making people feel relaxed and happy."
"It is also good at dancing on the palm, light and graceful, like a fairy descending to earth."
"What's even more amazing is that it can see the demons in the world, understand people's hearts, and distinguish between good and evil."
After hearing this, San Yisheng couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Such rare monkeys are rare in the world."
"My Lord, if you take it to Chaoge, it will surely open the eyes of the King and all the civil and military officials in the court."
Bo Yikao nodded, his face filled with anticipation:
"Yes, this monkey can also be presented to the king as a treasure. Collect these three treasures and present them together, hoping to gain a glimmer of hope for my father's life."
After hearing this, San Yisheng showed an expression of approval on his face, for he knew very well Bo Yikao's filial piety and determination.
He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:
"My Lord, you have a far-sighted plan. This is a brilliant one. The monkey is a rare treasure and will surely please the King."
"With the other two treasures, we will surely be able to successfully plead for the Marquis this time."
Bo Yikao nodded in agreement, and then he began to carefully select people to follow him to Chaoge.
After a few days, everything was ready.
Bo Yikao, with his selected men and treasures, set out on a journey to Chaoge under the watchful eyes of Daji, Ji Fa and others.
