Chapter 150 San Yisheng's Suggestion
Xiqi, the residence of Marquis Xibo.
In the main hall, Bo Yikao, the eldest son of Ji Chang, the Duke of Xibo, sat at the desk, flipping through a letter from the distant Chaoge.
There seemed to be a dark cloud between his brows, and the more he read the letter, the heavier his expression became.
Ji Chang's second son Ji Fa, who was standing by, saw Bo Yikao's solemn expression and couldn't help feeling an inexplicable worry in his heart.
"Brother, what's written in the letter?" Ji Fa asked.
Bo Yikao raised his head, looked at Ji Fa, sighed, and slowly handed the letter to Ji Fa:
"Take a look, this is coming from Chaoge."
Jifa took the letter and his eyes instantly became focused.
He read the contents of the letter word by word, and gradually, his face began to become heavy.
The contents of the letter were like an invisible mountain pressing down on the hearts of the two brothers.
"how so……"
Jifa finally finished reading the letter, his voice trembling a little.
He raised his head and looked at Bo Yikao, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.
Bo Yikao sighed, his eyes fixed forward, and he spoke slowly in a low voice:
"Father is now imprisoned in Youli by the king, and has suffered all kinds of torture and humiliation. As sons, we cannot sit idly by and watch. We must find a way to rescue him now."
Upon hearing this, Ji Fa's frown deepened, and his face showed a calmness that was inconsistent with his age.
He walked up to Bo Yikao, looked at him firmly, and responded solemnly:
"My brother is right, but my father was imprisoned by the king because he refused to admit that he protected Uncle Su."
There was a hint of helplessness and worry in Jifa's words. He paused for a moment, as if thinking about his next move.
Then he continued:
"So, what should we do to rescue our father?"
After hearing Ji Fa's words, Bo Yikao stared at Ji Fa with a sharp gaze, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly:
"Since my father is unwilling to betray Uncle Su's family, as his son, I must obey him."
Bo Yikao's voice was low and firm. He paused and continued:
"But my father must be rescued, otherwise, I would be unworthy of being his son."
When Ji Fa listened to Bo Yikao's words, his determination and courage were aroused.
He clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with determination, and responded:
"Jifa listens to his brother. He does what his brother says."
Bo Yikao looked at Ji Fa's determined eyes and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
He knew that his younger brother had grown into a responsible and courageous man.
Bo Yikao stood up and walked to Ji Fa with firm and calm steps.
He smiled and patted Ji Fa's shoulder, his eyes full of admiration and pride, and said:
"Brother, you have really grown up. I am very pleased."
Ji Fa was moved by Bo Yikao's action. He raised his head, his eyes sparkling with emotion, and responded:
"It is because of the good teachings of my father and elder brother that Jifa has been able to grow up."
Bo Yikao smiled slightly and said no more.
He turned and looked at the attendant beside him. The smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a calm and serious look.
Bo Yikao said in a deep voice:
"Quickly invite Doctor San, General Nangong, Doctor Taidian, and Doctor Hongyao to come to the study. I have something important to discuss with you."
The attendant bowed his head slightly and replied respectfully:
"Yes, eldest son."
Then, without daring to be negligent in the slightest, he immediately turned around and left to convey the order.
Ji Fa also realized the urgency of the matter. He walked to Bo Yikao and asked in a low voice:
"Brother, can we really rescue father?"
When Bo Yikao heard Ji Fa's words, he frowned and thought for a moment. Then he said in a steady and firm voice:
"Brother, believe me, I can definitely rescue father."
"When Doctor San, General Nangong, Doctor Taidian, and Doctor Hongyao arrive, we can pool our wisdom and discuss countermeasures together. We will definitely be able to come up with a perfect plan."
When Ji Fa looked at Bo Yikao's determined eyes, the worry and uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated.
He nodded, tightly held Bo Yikao's hand, with a determined light in his eyes:
"Brother, I believe in you. We will definitely be able to rescue father."
The two brothers looked at each other with hope in their eyes.
Time passed slowly in silence, as if even the air had frozen.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of hurried and noisy footsteps outside the hall.
Hearing the voice, Bo Yikao and Ji Fa raised their heads and focused their eyes on the palace entrance.
Doctor San, General Nangong, Doctor Taidian and Doctor Hongyao walked in one after another.
There was deep worry on their faces and their brows were furrowed. It was obvious that they knew the reason for their visit.
San Yisheng and the others bowed deeply in unison in the direction of Bo Yikao and Ji Fa, speaking in loud and respectful voices:
"Meet the eldest and second young masters!"
Bo Yikao's eyes were sharp and he nodded slightly in response.
Then, he waved his hand gently, signaling them to stand up:
"My Lords, there is no need to be so polite."
Then, Bo Yikao picked up the letter from the table, handed it over slowly, and said in a deep voice:
"This is a letter that just came from Chaoge. Please pass it around for your inspection."
San Yisheng took the letter and unfolded it carefully.
His brows were furrowed and his expression was focused, as if he wanted to glean more information from between the lines.
General Nangong, Doctor Taidian and Doctor Hongyao also circulated the letter in turn, and their faces showed varying degrees of solemnity.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense and heavy.
The content of the letter made it clear to everyone that King Ji Chang of Xibo was imprisoned and his fate hung by a thread, so a solution must be found as soon as possible.
"My Lords, what do you think?"
Bo Yikao was the first to break the silence, his voice steady and powerful.
San Yisheng put down the letter, thought for a moment and said:
"My Lord, since Chaoge sent someone to Xiqi to deliver the letter, it means that the Marquis is not in danger of his life for the time being."
He paused and continued:
"I believe that the most important task at this moment is to think about how to rescue the Marquis from his place of imprisonment safely!"
General Nangong nodded and added:
"I agree with Doctor San's opinion. The most urgent task is to rescue the Marquis. However, the key to the problem is how to bring the Marquis back from Youli safely."
Doctor Taidian and Doctor Hongyao also expressed their agreement and expressed their opinions and suggestions.
But, without exception, they all said that rescuing King Ji Chang of Xibo was the top priority.
As for how to rescue them, that is a problem.
Bo Yikao couldn't help feeling helpless as he listened to the statements of San Yishen, General Nangong and others.
He was not unaware of the urgency of the current situation, nor was he unaware of the importance of saving his father.
These four loyal ministers, usually wise and courageous, now seemed to be repeating facts that he had already understood.
Bo Yikao glanced at the four people and thought to himself:
"Don't I know that the most urgent thing is to rescue my father? Why did you come here? Isn't it to give me advice?"
After a while, the atmosphere in the study became increasingly heavy, and Bo Yikao finally could no longer suppress his inner anxiety.
He took a deep breath, frowned, and spoke with a hint of blame and expectation:
"My Lords, I asked you to come here because I hope you can hear a practical rescue plan, rather than sighing with me and repeating the obvious facts."
His eyes were as sharp as torches, and he swept over San Yisheng, General Nangong and others one by one, and continued:
"I know very well how difficult it is to rescue my father, but that is why we need to pool our wisdom and work together to come up with a foolproof plan."
Upon hearing this, San Yisheng, General Nangong and others all showed looks of shame on their faces.
"Master, calm down!"
San Yisheng spoke first. He bowed deeply to show his apology, "I think that first, we can send someone to Chaoge City to meet the king and understand the whole story."
"Furthermore, you can select rare treasures from Xiqi and present them to the king as tribute, so as to appease the king's anger and buy an opportunity to lift the ban for the marquis."
Bo Yikao listened quietly to San Yisheng's suggestions, his brows furrowed for a long time, as if he was weighing the importance of every word and every suggestion.
Finally, his brows gradually relaxed, as if he had found a clue to solving the problem.
He nodded slightly, his voice low and firm:
"What Doctor San said is absolutely right. As for going to Chaoge to apologize, I have thought carefully and decided that I will go there in person."
He paused, his eyes flashing with determination and courage, "This will not only show Xiqi's sincerity, but also allow the king to intuitively feel our determination and loyalty."
