Beside her, Ji Kao listened without any dissatisfaction. Instead, he frowned and said:
"Why must my fourth brother also go to Chaoge? According to Great Shang's customs, just one hostage is sufficient, isn't it?"
"The king is truly ruthless!"
"Shut up!"
Marquis of West Bo, Ji Chang, glared at the favored beauty who spoke, and she quickly bowed her head, looking aggrieved.
Though Ji Chang had cautioned Ji Kao hundreds of times, he still wasn't at ease as he pulled Ji Kao aside and said gravely:
"This journey to Chaoge, the road is long and treacherous, you must be very careful.
"The king's kindness to our Ji family is immense, you must serve him carefully, do not oppose him.
