Chapter 145

At the same time.

Zhaoge.

Wen Zhong received the letter sent by Gu Xiu.

After reading the content, he frowned tightly.

"Jiang Ziya has already surrendered to Xiqi and is planning to reorganize the three armies to crusade against Chong Houhu?"

Ever since Jiang Ziya suddenly disappeared, Wen Zhong had been inquiring about Jiang Ziya's whereabouts, but he didn't expect him to run to Xiqi.

He couldn't help but curse.

"Jiang Ziya, you old rascal, I treated you with courtesy and introduced you to the King, but I didn't expect you to harbor evil intentions. If I had known this, I would have whipped you to death."

After cursing, Wen Zhong calmed down slightly, his expression solemn. Ever since he was suppressing the rebellion in the North Sea and found that it was all caused by a group of monsters, he had been suspicious.

It was not until Gu Xiu told him that all this was related to the Chan Sect and the purpose was to push the Investiture of the Gods that he understood.

"Junior Brother Gu Xiu once warned me that if I insisted on staying in Yin Shang, I should not ask the Jie Sect for help when facing Chan Sect disciples in the future, otherwise he wouldn't let me off. He didn't want to involve the Jie Sect in this dispute because of me personally."

"The Master summoned the Jie Sect disciples outside back twice in a row, but I didn't go back. I have already been expelled from the Jie Sect."

"Junior Brother Gu also specifically wrote a letter to inform me. I, Wen Zhong, will remember this kindness."

Knowing that Yin Shang was currently at a critical juncture of life and death, Wen Zhong didn't dare to be negligent.

He looked at the things Gu Xiu asked him to do in the letter and pondered.

"Junior Brother asked to spread the news in various places that Ji Chang is colluding with Chan Sect monsters to rebel. Is he trying to make Ji Chang have no justification for his actions and make the name of a rebel stick?"

"Before, the Holy Mother sent an envoy to rectify the King's name, and the King hasn't done anything out of line yet. It won't be that easy for the Chan Sect to support Ji Chang and win the hearts of the people."

"But the vassals in various places have been incited to rebel one after another, causing chaos in the Chengtang society and affecting the national fortune. If it is not solved, Chengtang will be in danger."

Without thinking any more, Wen Zhong immediately called someone to send people to various places to spread the news that Ji Chang was colluding with Chan Sect monsters to rebel.

And he sent a letter to Chong Houhu to inform him that Ji Chang was rebelling and raising troops to attack him, so that Chong Houhu could be prepared.

After giving the instructions, the worry on Wen Zhong's face did not diminish at all.

He was only one person and could not contend with the Chan Sect behind Xiqi at all.

After a long silence, Wen Zhong sighed.

"The former King was kind to me and entrusted his orphan to me. How can I let him down?"

"I, Wen Zhong, will use my last breath to protect the society of Chengtang."

"But the matter of Ji Chang's rebellion must be told to the King."

Thinking of this, Wen Zhong left the Grand Tutor's mansion and rode the Ink Qilin toward the imperial palace.

King Zhou was in his bedroom with Su Daji, being affectionate and tender. Under the flickering candlelight, their ambiguous figures were reflected.

Hearing that Wen Zhong was seeking an audience outside, it disturbed his interest a bit.

He didn't understand why Wen Zhong suddenly entered the palace to seek an audience when it was almost evening.

But Wen Zhong held the King-Beating Whip, and King Zhou was a bit afraid, so he still summoned Wen Zhong in.

Wen Zhong walked into the hall and saw King Zhou and Daji together, frowning slightly.

Su Daji was too enchanting, her appearance bewitching people's hearts. He had always been worried that King Zhou would neglect state affairs because of his indulgence in women.

"Subject Wen Zhong pays respects to the King." Wen Zhong knelt on one knee.

King Zhou raised his hand and said: "Grand Tutor, please rise quickly."

After Wen Zhong got up, King Zhou asked: "Grand Tutor, it's late at night, is there any urgent matter for you to suddenly enter the palace?"

Wen Zhong's expression was serious, and he bowed and said: "King, this subject has an urgent matter to report. Just now, this subject received secret information that the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, has rebelled and is colluding with Chan Sect monsters to cause chaos in my Chengtang. He is currently ordering the three armies and intends to go to Chong City to crusade against the Marquis of the North, Chong Houhu."

"Ji Chang has rebelled?" King Zhou frowned slightly. He could hear which vassal had rebelled almost every day, and he was almost tired of hearing it.

"Yes, King. This news was informed by my fellow disciple, and there will be no mistake. The King has also seen him before."

King Zhou immediately thought of Gu Xiu.

"Since it was informed by the Immortal Gu Xiu, a fellow disciple of the Grand Tutor, then there will be no mistake. It's just that Ji Chang has always behaved loyally in front of me, but I didn't expect him to rebel."

Su Daji on the side heard the news about Gu Xiu, and her expression changed slightly.

Thinking about it, since it was news passed by Gu Xiu, she had to help. It would be good to claim credit in front of Gu Xiu later, and let Gu Xiu say a few good words in front of Nüwa.

Her beautiful face carried a charming smile, and a pair of beautiful eyes were as moving as autumn water.

She said in a coquettish voice.

"King, this concubine has heard that Ji Chang has always had the name of a sage and is loved by the people in Xiqi. I originally thought he was a loyal person, but I didn't expect him to have such wolfish ambitions. If Xiqi's power is allowed to grow day by day, I am afraid there will be endless troubles. We must send troops to suppress it in time."

King Zhou nodded: "What the beloved concubine says is right."

Then, he looked at Wen Zhong.

"Grand Tutor, in your opinion, who should be sent to lead the troops to suppress Ji Chang?"

This question stumped Wen Zhong. Xiqi had the help of the Chan Sect, and sending ordinary generals would not be able to deal with it at all.
