Chapter 308 The First Signs of a Hidden Move

In the eastern part of the Southern Continent, the farce of Marquis Su Hu of Ji Province has caused panic throughout the entire Marquisate of Ji Province. Fortunately, the Su family is generally well-liked in the Marquisate, otherwise things would have been even more chaotic.

Chen Fusheng slowly stepped into the Marquisate of Jizhou. He glanced at the Marquisate of Jizhou from afar and saw the bright, bloody smoke rising from the sky. It must be the old ancestor of the Su family.

Around the blood-red smoke, a red glow had spread, and a red phoenix could be faintly seen circling around it, its aura no less imposing than that of the blood-red smoke of the Su family patriarch.

Chen Fusheng was somewhat shocked. The last time he met Su Daji, she was only just beginning to show her beauty, but now her destiny had already formed the Red Phoenix position. Judging from the situation, it wouldn't be long before she formed the Phoenix position, a kind of aura that only the empress of the harem could possess.

No wonder Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, would have set his sights on her. Even if Su Hu, the Marquis of Jizhou, hadn't rebelled, it probably wouldn't have been long before other factors led to Su Daji becoming the Emperor's woman.

Ji Chang and his group were probably exploiting this time difference. Once Su Daji's phoenix status was fully formed, not only Ji Chang, but even Zhunti probably wouldn't dare to make a move against her.

Those who possess the status of a true dragon or phoenix are generally blessed by the heavens, and only when the true dragon or phoenix is ​​still in the form of a dragon or a red luan can they have the possibility of scheming.

During this period, although the dragon and the phoenix were protected by heaven and earth, they were not that strong. They also carried a trace of the special characteristics of true dragons and phoenixes. In her previous life, Nuwa must have allowed the fox demon to possess her before Su Daji's phoenix status was fully formed. Otherwise, the fox demon would not have had any chance at all.

After composing himself, Chen Fusheng quietly withdrew from the capital of the Jizhou Marquisate, and only stopped when he retreated to a small town called Wencheng.

Wencheng was one of the most inconspicuous cities among the many cities of the Jizhou Marquisate. It was quite ordinary, but it was not too far from the capital of the Jizhou Marquisate. It was a good place to observe the situation of the Jizhou Marquisate. Chen Fusheng recognized its geographical location at a glance.

Fang Hui followed behind Chen Fusheng, her heart filled with admiration. She admired Chen Fusheng's shrewdness and thought he was worthy of being her master. He even knew how to choose the right position better than someone like her who had comprehended the Great Dao of Shadow.

"Has Sulu returned?"

Chen Fusheng found a small stool and sat down, then asked Fang Hui, who was sitting next to him.

"I have returned from the Marquisate of Xibo. The situation at the Marquisate of Jizhou has been quite complicated recently. Su Lu, who is at the Xuanxian realm, is highly valued by the Su family patriarch, but there is still some unease among the people."

Chen Fusheng nodded. The current Marquis of Jizhou had been captured by the Shang Dynasty's imperial court. Although the Shang Dynasty's imperial court had lost popular support in recent years, it was still considered the legitimate dynasty in the hearts of the people. In addition, King Zhou had not done anything outrageous yet, and the Marquis of Jizhou, Su Hu, had raised an army in a very hasty manner. Most importantly, he was captured by Wen Zhong before he even left the east. Anyone would be panicked in his place.

"Didn't you ask about the recent developments in the Xibo Marquisate?"

"He said that the Marquis of Xibo's residence hadn't changed much, but he heard that the Marquis of Xibo's heir, Boyi Kao, had a big fight with the Marquis of Xibo, Ji Chang, and that the Marquis of Xibo had put him in solitary confinement."

Chen Fusheng frowned, thinking of the marriage arranged between Boyi Kao and Su Daji, and he seemed to know why.

"So they didn't react at all to the matter of the Marquisate of Ji Province?"

"It seems that several ministers made suggestions, but nothing came of it afterward."

Chen Fusheng smiled inwardly. He really distanced himself cleanly. No wonder he was the one who could become the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Alright, I understand. You can go now. Don't stay in the east for the time being. Go to Chaoge," Chen Fusheng instructed. Now that he was already in the east, Fang Hui's role was no longer significant. Moreover, the east, especially the Jizhou Marquisate, had become the eye of the storm, and a new round of war could break out at any time.

As a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect and the ruler of the Southern Continent of the God of Wealth Sect, Fang Hui's continued presence here would attract too much attention.

Fang Hui hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. He knew that he was not like Chen Fusheng, and if he were discovered, he would probably implicate his master. He was a little disappointed, but rationally chose to follow Chen Fusheng's arrangements.

Not three days after Fang Hui left, the army of the Great Shang Dynasty finally joined forces with Wen Zhong and marched in a mighty force toward the Marquisate of Jizhou.

Meanwhile, Marquis Su Hu of Jizhou was forced into a large cart and, escorted by the army, entered the Marquisate of Jizhou.

Chen Fusheng looked at Su Hu, the Marquis of Jizhou, who was looking dejected not far away. The fortune that was about to condense into a dragon above his head was now covered with black threads. If it weren't for the bloody smoke and red glow supporting him, he would probably have died long ago.

Chen Fusheng shook his head inwardly. Originally, with the strength of the Jizhou Marquisate, although it could not compare with the four major vassal states of the East, West, South, North and South, it could still rank among the top vassal states of the entire Shang Dynasty. Now, it can be said that a thousand years of accumulation has been lost in one day.

Although there were no casualties, his capture has completely destroyed the prestige and power of the entire Jizhou Marquisate. In the future, let alone rebellion, it is probably impossible to restore its former rule.

However, this is for the best. Even if he hadn't been captured by Wen Zhong, given the strength of the Jizhou Marquisate and his intelligence, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold out for long. In the end, he was still defeated by the Shang Dynasty court, and the common people were also implicated.

With virtually no casualties now, the cause and effect are certainly minimal. As long as the Su family patriarch is present, it's estimated that things will recover soon. However, before that, it's crucial that the Jizhou Marquis's residence can properly resolve the matter of Su Daji.

Without any dispute or resistance, Wen Zhong was received into the Jizhou Marquis's residence by the Su family patriarch with a grand ceremony. Chen Fusheng withdrew his gaze and secretly pondered in his heart. He felt that the Western Buddhism's backup plan would arrive either today or tomorrow, and he believed it would not be long before it came.

One night, two nights, until the third day of the day, Chen Fusheng learned from Su Hu's message that the imperial decree of the Great Shang Dynasty had finally arrived. Su Hu, the Marquis of Jizhou, was demoted to a commoner and would never be allowed to leave the Marquis of Jizhou's residence again.

The Marquisate of Jizhou lost six cities, its power was halved, and even its army was completely absorbed by the Shang Dynasty's imperial court. It was all thanks to Su Hu that the Marquisate of Jizhou's army was gathered up by him and wiped out by the Shang Dynasty's imperial court.

It is said that this was only because of the Su family patriarch's influence. It is also said that because of this matter, the Su family managed to influence several royal ancestors, and King Zhou had no choice but to deal with it leniently.

As expected, Su Daji was sent to Chaoge by the army the day after tomorrow as an apology from the Marquis of Jizhou. This was different from her previous life when she was directly made a Noble Consort.

Upon hearing this news, Chen Fusheng's heart stirred. If there were any unusual developments in Western Buddhism, it would likely be within the next two days. Otherwise, once they set off, with Su Daji escorted by a large army and Grand Tutor Wen Zhong, unless a sage intervened, there would be no chance for them to succeed.

Therefore, the time spent at the Marquis of Jizhou's residence these two days became an excellent opportunity.

As Chen Fusheng had expected, that very night he sensed a figure quickly flash into the Jizhou Marquis's residence. If Chen Fusheng was not mistaken, it was none other than the Bodhisattva Nagarjuna whom he had seen on Mount Xiqi in the Xibo Marquisate that day.

Chen Fusheng had some suspicions, after all, the Su family patriarch was in the Jizhou Marquis's mansion. Sending a Golden Immortal, even one at the Perfected Golden Immortal level, could be discovered by the Su family patriarch, so it was definitely not safe. Only a Great Luo Golden Immortal could do that.

Western Buddhism is now completely under the watchful eyes of the Chan and Jie sects, especially the Bodhisattvas at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level. It is estimated that they will be detected as soon as they leave Xiniuhezhou. Only Nagarjuna Bodhisattva, who has always stayed in Nanzhanbuzhou, can escape the notice of the Chan and Jie sects.

Chen Fusheng placed the Qiankun Cauldron on his head and quietly followed.
