#1081 - Chapter 1081 Yaotao is mine
"Kill the nobles and intimidate the world?" Jin Ji was stunned upon hearing this.
These words were too familiar, as the former Immortal Master had said the same thing.
He didn't recognize the old man in front of him as Cheng Bang. Instead, he imagined another possibility.
That was, whether it was the former Immortal Master or the current strange old man, they were actually talking about the same thing. And this thing might be right, but he just didn't accept it.
"I wonder which of the upper, middle, and lower strategies Your Majesty will choose?" Cheng Bang asked.
"Is there no other way?" Jin Ji asked with a mournful face.
He didn't want to choose any of the upper, middle, and lower strategies.
"Your Majesty, you are high above, like the light of the sun and moon. No matter what you decide, it represents supreme authority. You have the right to make any decision, and no one can object. However, if you are so indecisive, I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain the safety of your people. If that's the case, why not abdicate the throne to someone more capable!" Cheng Bang was openly mocking him.
Jin Chu had spent a lot of effort to pass the throne to his son. Now, wanting to go back to the path of abdication was absolutely impossible.
Even if he was willing, the entire tribe would not be willing.
"It seems that the best way now is to marry this girl Yao Tao," Jin Ji said after a long consideration.
This was the most effective way with the least loss.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Cheng Bang immediately changed his attitude, expressing his appreciation.
This made Jin Ji feel like a good king again.
"Come, issue an order. Immediately send a message to Marquis Liehuo of Yan Land. Order him to find a girl named Yao Tao and send someone to Jin Land," Jin Ji ordered.
"Yes!"
The warrior who received the order immediately packed his bags and rushed to Yan Land.
"Uncle, I haven't asked your name yet," Jin Ji bowed deeply.
"I am just an old man in the fields, without a name. Now that my mission is complete, I will take my leave," Cheng Bang prepared to leave after achieving his goal.
"Uncle, can you stay and guide me from time to time?" Jin Ji invited.
"Forget it. I once heard that there is a god by Your Majesty's side, with great power and extraordinary appearance. However, you did not believe his words and insisted on your own way, causing that god to ascend in place and disappear. I know that I am not as good as that god, so what qualifications do I have to guide you?" Cheng Bang shook his head and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Poor Jin Ji was still annoyed, not knowing that he had been fooled around.
3 months later.
The messenger finally arrived in Yan Land.
He had the credentials of a messenger and could directly meet Marquis Liehuo.
"What? Yao Tao?" Marquis Liehuo jumped up upon hearing the messenger's message.
His son went to find Yao Tao every day, so it was impossible for him not to know this name.
However, he didn't know that the king far away in Jin Land had also heard this name.
Not only had he heard of it, but he also ordered him to escort her to Jin Land.
In this case, this Yao Tao's identity must not be simple.
"Messenger, please rest here for a few days. Allow me to go and inquire," Marquis Liehuo said.
Marquis Liehuo didn't say that he knew her and used the excuse of looking for her to buy a few days.
Before that, he wanted to investigate Yao Tao's identity.
After the messenger left, Marquis Liehuo ordered his subordinates to find Lieyan.
"Father, you're looking for me?" Lieyan quickly returned.
"Son, how much do you know about this Yao Tao?" Marquis Liehuo asked.
"Father, haven't I told you? She is just an ordinary girl in the east of the city, with no special background," Lieyan explained.
"No! That's not possible! Just now, the king sent a messenger, asking us to send Yao Tao to Jin Land. If this Yao Tao is just an ordinary person, how would the king far away in Jin Land know about her?" Marquis Liehuo said.
"What? The king wants Yao Tao to go to Jin Land!?" Lieyan was furious upon hearing this.
"That's right. What? Do you still want to disobey the king's order?" Marquis Liehuo asked.
"Father! The king already has a wife, why does he still covet Yao Tao's beauty? Is he not afraid of being criticized by the world for doing so?" Lieyan was blinded by love and shouted angrily.
"Presumptuous! Shut up!" Marquis Liehuo was shocked to hear his son say this.
"No! If he insists on taking my Yao Tao away, I will question him in front of the world. A person like him is not worthy to be the king of the world!" Lieyan became more and more excited.
"Presumptuous! Is the king someone you can evaluate at will? Saying this will bring you death, understand?" Marquis Liehuo scolded loudly.
"Father, why do you have to be so cautious? The king of the world, the people of the world can naturally speak of him. Yao Tao is mine, and no one can take her away from me!" Lieyan was determined to have Yao Tao at all costs.
