Chapter 304 Account
Jiang Ziya, accompanied by the Taoist Master Ran Deng and the Bodhisattva Manjusri, walked hurriedly through the numerous tents and headed straight for where Ji Chang was.
The moment I entered the tent, a mixture of medicinal fragrance and a stuffy atmosphere hit me in the face.
The scene before him made Jiang Ziya's heart tighten. He stopped involuntarily, his eyes full of disbelief.
Ji Chang, the once strong king, was now skinny and pale as paper. He lay powerlessly on the couch, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
Ji Chang seemed to sense something and tilted his head slightly. In his eyes, which seemed sunken due to illness, a barely perceptible hint of joy flashed across them.
He raised his hand with difficulty, signaling the servant to help him up. Although his voice was weak, it revealed unquestionable majesty.
When Jiang Ziya saw this, he felt a pang in his heart and hurriedly took a few steps forward, his movements somewhat anxious.
He bowed deeply, his voice filled with concern and sorrow that were difficult to conceal:
"Your Majesty, I am Jiang Ziya. I have not seen you for a long time. How come you are so seriously ill?"
Ji Chang forced a smile, which showed both relief and helplessness:
"Prime Minister, since you left last time, I learned about the defeat at Jiameng Pass. I was so angry that I vomited blood and fell to the ground."
"From now on, my body is like a dead leaf swept away by the autumn wind. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for much longer."
At this point, a hint of sadness flashed in Ji Chang's eyes.
But then he became firm again, and he held Jiang Ziya's hand tightly, as if he wanted to convey all his trust and expectations to him.
"However, I feel relieved with you here. The future of the Great Zhou still needs the Prime Minister's concern. You are a person I rely on, and a pillar of the Great Zhou."
When Jiang Ziya listened to Ji Chang's words, he felt a warm feeling and a sense of responsibility in his heart.
"Don't worry, my king. I will do my best to make plans for the future of the Great Zhou."
Jiang Ziya's voice was firm and powerful, and every word seemed to have a resounding impact, demonstrating his determination and conviction.
"However, Your Majesty, you still need to take care of yourself and recover as soon as possible. After all, the great cause of conquering Shang is imminent, and Your Majesty's supervision and guidance are still needed."
When Ji Chang heard this, a trace of relief and emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Prime Minister, I feel relieved with your words. I know that the road to conquering Shang is difficult and full of obstacles, but with you by my side, I believe that all difficulties can be easily overcome."
However, Ji Chang's tone suddenly became a little heavy, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
He knew that his physical condition was not optimistic, which might become a major obstacle to the conquest of Shang. Ji Chang sighed softly and said:
"As for my health... the Prime Minister can see that it is already at the end of its rope."
When Jiang Ziya heard this, a feeling of sadness welled up in his heart.
He looked at Ji Chang's haggard face and knew that he had put in too much effort in his quest to conquer Shang. Jiang Ziya said with concern:
"Don't worry, my king. You will definitely recover. The cause of conquering Shang still needs you, and the soldiers cannot afford to lose you."
Ji Chang smiled slightly, and that smile showed both helplessness and determination.
"I understand what you mean, Prime Minister. But I am also aware of my own physical condition."
"I have sent a message to Xiqi and asked my daughter Ji to send it here. Military affairs can be handed over to him."
"The Prime Minister has also met Ji Fa, and knows that my son is not only intelligent, but also has a certain degree of decisiveness. With your help, he will be able to accomplish the great cause of conquering Shang."
Jiang Ziya felt a complex emotion when he heard this. He knew that Ji Chang wanted to delegate power to Ji Fa and make full preparations for the great cause of conquering Shang.
He nodded deeply and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best to assist Prince Jifa and work together to accomplish the great cause of conquering Shang."
"Your Majesty, please take good care of your health. I will live up to your trust and work hard for the future of the Great Zhou until my death."
Upon hearing this, Ji Chang nodded slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
After a while, Jiang Ziya took a step back, revealing the figures of Randeng Taoist and Manjusri Bodhisattva, and solemnly introduced them to Ji Chang:
"Your Majesty, you have already seen Brother Manjusri. His strength and bravery are extraordinary. I will not elaborate on his details."
Jiang Ziya's words were full of respect for Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Upon hearing this, Ji Chang turned his gaze to Manjusri Bodhisattva, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He was indeed impressed by this Taoist priest. Both his cultivation and his behavior surprised Ji Chang.
After all, it was the first time that Ji Chang saw someone running away so fast. However, since Manjusri Bodhisattva could confront Luo Shu, it was clear that he still had some strength.
Then, Jiang Ziya pointed to another Taoist priest, his tone full of awe and respect:
"And this one is the deputy leader of the Chan Sect - Master Ran Deng. Master Ran Deng is very powerful and is a great man at the Quasi-Sage level!"
"He once went to Zixiao Palace with Master Yuqing Saint to listen to teachings, which shows that he has profound qualifications. Master Ran Deng's wisdom and cultivation have reached a height that I cannot reach."
Hearing Jiang Ziya's flattery of Master Ran Deng, Manjusri Bodhisattva's mouth twitched, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and then he disappeared.
When Ji Chang heard this, he was shocked.
He didn't expect that the seemingly ordinary Taoist in front of him was actually the deputy leader of the Chan sect, and a powerful being in the quasi-saint realm!
Ji Chang held the bed with his hands, turned around quickly, and bowed slightly to Master Ran Deng to express his respect and gratitude.
Taoist Master Ran Deng smiled and nodded, his eyes full of gentleness and wisdom.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite. I am only here to help the Great Zhou in compliance with the will of heaven. The great cause of conquering Shang is imminent, and I will do my best to help."
"Thank you, Immortal! Ji Chang will definitely remember it in his heart and be grateful for your kindness all the time." Ji Chang's gratitude was even greater and could not be expressed in words.
Seeing this, Jiang Ziya interrupted and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that Master Randeng came here mainly to capture the Luoshu of Jiejiao."
“Although Luo Shu is very powerful, he is nothing more than a clown in front of Master Ran Deng.”
Jiang Ziya's words were full of trust and admiration for Master Ran Deng.
Ji Chang was shocked when he heard this.
He didn't expect that the purpose of Master Ran Deng's trip was to capture Luo Shu of the Jiejiao.
Ji Chang knew that Luo Shu was very powerful and he had won every battle they had fought.
But if we have the help of Master Ran Deng, then capturing Luoshu will be more certain.
He looked at Master Ran Deng with gratitude and expressed his respect and gratitude again.
"Thank you, Immortal! With your help, I believe I can successfully capture Luoshu and clear the obstacles for the conquest of Shang!" Ji Chang's words were full of firmness and determination.
Taoist Randeng smiled and nodded, then said calmly:
"Don't worry, my king. I don't care about him as he is just a third-generation disciple of Jiejiao. As long as he dares to come out, I will not let him escape from my hands."
