Chapter 317 Brothers turn against each other
Chapter 317 Brothers turn against each other
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent, and then the curtain was lifted, and a tall man came in.
When Ji Chang and the other two saw clearly who was coming, it was Ji Fa who had returned from Xiqi, covered in dust.
As soon as Ji Fa entered the tent, his eyes passed over Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya and fell directly on Bo Yikao.
His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, as if he had seen something incredible.
"elder brother……"
Jifa's voice trembled a little, he couldn't believe his eyes.
He clearly remembered that Bo Yikao had died in Chaoge. How could he appear here intact?
Bo Yikao was also stunned. He didn't expect to see Ji Fa at this time. He looked at his brother Ji Fa, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
He thought that if it weren't for the white-faced ape Jisong gave him, he would not have been imprisoned by the king and suffered in the dungeon.
Even in the dungeon, he repeatedly speculated about the white-faced monkey. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something fishy about it.
In addition, under the constant guidance of the people sent by Emperor Xin, Bo Yikao felt that Ji Fa wanted to harm him.
If he died, the next King of Xibo would be him, Ji Fa.
He really has ulterior motives. Is he so good at disguising himself? Otherwise, why didn't I see through him?
"Faer, you're here. Your brother just came back today as well."
Ji Chang also looked surprised. He didn't expect Ji Fa to come to the military camp at this time.
Ji Fa did not answer his father's question, his eyes were still fixed on Bo Yikao.
He took a few steps and came to Bo Yikao, stretched out his hand to touch him, but seemed unsure whether this was true.
"Brother, you...are you still alive?"
Jifa's voice was a little choked and his eyes were wet.
Bo Yikao looked at his brother's excited expression and felt a sense of contempt in his heart.
He had just been staring at Ji Fa's reaction. If there hadn't been a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, he would have been fooled by his hypocritical attitude.
He understood that Jifa was not really happy that he was alive, but because his appearance might have disrupted some of Jifa's plans.
Bo Yikao sneered in his heart. He didn't expect that his own brother would actually have murderous intentions towards him. This made him feel both sad and angry.
However, Bo Yikao did not immediately express his dissatisfaction and anger.
He knew very well that he had to remain calm and rational in front of his father. So, Bo Yikao looked at Ji Fa with a smile and said in a gentle but meaningful tone:
"Brother, I am indeed still alive. You didn't expect it, did you? I also didn't expect that we would meet again one day."
Ji Fa was stunned. He looked at Bo Yikao's deep eyes, as if his heart was seen through.
He felt a little flustered, and quickly took a deep breath, calmed himself, and put on a concerned expression.
"Brother, it's great that you're still alive. Xiqi needs you, and so does father. We're always thinking about you."
There was a hint of sincerity in Ji Fa's words, as if he was really happy about Bo Yikao's return.
However, Bo Yikao just smiled faintly and said nothing more. He had seen through Ji Fa's disguise and knew his true thoughts.
Ji Chang and Jiang Ziya, who were standing by, did not notice the deep meaning of the conversation between Bo Yikao and Ji Fa.
Ji Chang's eyes occasionally swept over the two of them, and seeing that the two brothers were getting along in harmony, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
He nodded slightly, with a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that all this was related to his teachings.
From childhood to adulthood, he has been working hard to cultivate his sons, hoping that they can become responsible, wise and kind people.
Now it seems that his efforts have not been in vain.
"Good, good, good!"
Ji Chang praised repeatedly, his voice full of joy and satisfaction, "Fa'er is still so attached to Yikao! From childhood to adulthood, the two brothers have always been inseparable. How enviable!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya smiled and nodded.
"Yes, my king. The eldest and second sons are both rare talents. They are brothers of one mind and can break iron with one strength. It is a blessing for Xiqi!"
Ji Chang couldn't stop smiling when he heard this. He turned to look at Bo Yikao and Ji Fa, and said with relief:
"Yikao, Faer, now that you two brothers are here, I will tell you about the next arrangements."
He paused, turned to look at Ji Fa beside him, and said slowly:
"Fa'er, originally your father wanted you to be in charge of military affairs, but now that your brother is back, let him take care of this matter. You should also not be idle, and assist your brother in handling military affairs."
Ji Fa nodded upon hearing this, without showing any dissatisfaction or disappointment. Instead, he smiled slightly and gave Bo Yikao a look full of trust.
Then, Ji Chang turned to look at Bo Yikao and continued:
"Yikao, it's still the same as what your father said before. From now on, you will follow the Prime Minister and learn how to deal with military affairs."
"Don't let your father down. You have to be independent in the future."
"Yes, father, I will never let you down." Bo Yikao responded.
Jiang Ziya, who was standing by, had sharp eyes and caught the slight movement of Ji Chang's body.
His heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward and held Ji Chang firmly, with unquestionable concern and respect in his tone:
"My king, you haven't had a good rest today. Your body may not be able to bear it."
"Why don't you go and take a rest first? I will guide you well, the eldest and second young masters. Don't worry, I will do my best and live up to your expectations."
Bo Yikao also noticed the subtle changes in his father. His heart sank and he quickly took a few steps forward to support Ji Chang's other side.
His eyes were filled with worry and anxiety, and his voice trembled a little:
"Yes, father, you should take a good rest first. I will definitely follow the Prime Minister's instructions and study military affairs seriously."
Jifa also nodded in agreement.
Ji Chang nodded slightly. He also knew that his body could not tolerate extreme joy or sorrow, or overwork.
Today, he was overjoyed to see his son Bo Yikao. Now, he knew that he was indeed feeling a little unwell, so he followed Jiang Ziya and Bo Yikao's advice and went down to rest for a while.
Ji Chang gently patted Bo Yikao's hand, signaling him not to worry:
"Okay, okay, I'll go and rest now. Yikao, Faer, you must listen carefully to the Prime Minister's words, study hard and ask more questions."
After saying this, he went back to his tent to rest.
After Jiang Ziya escorted Ji Chang out of the tent, only Bo Yikao and Ji Fa were left in the tent. Bo Yikao looked at Ji Fa in front of him and said meaningfully:
"Brother, you have to assist me well."
Seeing this, Ji Fa also dropped his disguise, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly:
"Don't worry, brother. I will do my best to assist you."
After saying this, the two of them smiled at each other, with a hint of coldness in their eyes.
