Chapter 319: Jiang Ziya Establishes Prestige, Wen Zhong Arrives

While the Chan and Jie sects were thinking about taking action against each other.

A major event also happened in the mortal world.

Jiang Ziya persuaded Ji Chang to crusade against the Marquis of the North, Chong Houhu.

But Chong Houhu received the information sent by Wen Zhong in advance, learned that Ji Chang was rebelling, and that Jiang Ziya was appointed to lead troops to attack him, so he strengthened his precautions in advance.

Jiang Ziya currently had no Chan Sect disciples to help him, so he had not been able to attack for a long time.

Learning that Chong Houhu's younger brother, Chong Heihu, had long been coveting the position of Marquis of the North, he planned to use a scheme to incite Chong Heihu to rebel and take down Chong Houhu.

At this time, in the camp.

Jiang Ziya was waiting for the result of inciting Chong Heihu to rebel.

These days, he always had dreams.

In his dreams, he tried his best to escape and preside over the Investiture of the Gods.

But now he was the Prime Minister of Xiqi and the host of the Investiture of the Gods.

And the task the Chan Sect gave him was to crusade against Shang and complete the great cause of the Investiture of the Gods, not really to assist Xiqi; Xiqi was just a tool for crusading against Shang.

Jiang Ziya shook his head and withdrew his thoughts, no longer thinking about it.

Having had his memory modified by Antarctic Immortal and being told about the Chan Sect's plans, Jiang Ziya already understood a thing or two about the Chan Sect's layout for the Investiture of the Gods.

Thinking of the Chan Sect's layout, Jiang Ziya's brows furrowed tightly.

"Just becoming the Prime Minister of Xiqi, I need to establish prestige to have the right to speak, which is conducive to implementing my sect's great cause of the Investiture of the Gods. This battle must be won."

"In my Chan Sect's original layout, the Marquis of the East, Jiang Huanchu, and the Marquis of the South, E Chongyu, should have hated the Shang King to the bone by now, but unfortunately, there was a change."

"The Marquis of the North, Chong Houhu, is a firm supporter of Yin Shang. By the time of the crusade to destroy Shang, he will definitely become a stumbling block on Xiqi's road to destroying Shang, so he must be removed in advance."

"I am a subject of Xiqi, and currently, the decision-making power is in Ji Chang's hands. I need to ask Ji Chang about everything I do, which is not conducive to mastering great power and helping my sect's Investiture of the Gods. According to Antarctic Teacher's meaning, I should take the opportunity of attacking Chong Houhu to get rid of Ji Chang, so that Ji Fa can logically take the position."

Jiang Ziya's gaze turned cold, and a murderous intent was revealed in his eyes.

Although Ji Chang had ambition, he was too soft-hearted. After completing the task of raising troops to rebel and leading the charge for Ji Fa, he could go offline.

The Chan Sect had already given Jiang Ziya a way to harm Ji Chang.

Ji Chang cherished his reputation and was persuaded to crusade against Chong Houhu, and he already felt guilty.

When beheading Chong Houhu's family, he would deliberately send Chong Houhu and his son's bloody heads to Ji Chang.

To give Ji Chang a fright, instill fear in him, and then have vengeful spirits haunt him.

In the end, Ji Chang would be terrified all day long, fall ill, and pass away.

Ji Fa would take the position, and Jiang Ziya, as the minister entrusted with the orphan, would be able to master the political power of Xiqi, while Ji Fa would be equivalent to a puppet, listening to his orders.

Thinking of this, a triumphant smile appeared on Jiang Ziya's face.

Suddenly, feeling someone coming, Jiang Ziya immediately returned to normal.

Subsequently, the sound of San Yisheng visiting came from outside.

Jiang Ziya walked out and invited San Yisheng in.

"Grand Doctor San, you came at this time, is there any result from Chong Heihu's side?"

San Yisheng bowed and said: "Prime Minister, the letter has been successfully delivered to Chong Heihu. Chong Heihu has long been coveting the position of Marquis of the North, so he will definitely agree."

Jiang Ziya nodded slightly, his gaze full of deep thought.

"If this matter can be done, Grand Doctor San should be credited with a great contribution."

"Prime Minister, all this is to share the worries for the Princess. Yisheng does not dare to covet credit, as long as I can seek welfare for Xiqi and bring peace to the people, that's enough."

Looking at San Yisheng in front of him, Jiang Ziya said with emotion: "Grand Doctor San's loyalty can be seen. Having a loyal person like you is truly Xiqi's fortune."

San Yisheng's face did not show joy, and he looked worried.

Noticing this, Jiang Ziya asked: "Grand Doctor San, do you have any worries?"

San Yisheng said: "Prime Minister, recently it is being spread everywhere that the Lord has rebelled. Currently, the Lord is framed; he has to rebel even if he doesn't want to, and can only go to the end of the road. But the Lord has always thought that he is a Shang subject, and I estimate that he will have the idea of going to Chaoge to explain. We must persuade the Lord to give up this idea. Going to Chaoge at this time is just throwing himself into the net."

Hearing this, a trace of imperceptible strangeness flashed in Jiang Ziya's eyes: "Grand Doctor San, rest assured, I will definitely persuade the Lord to give up this idea."

"Then I will leave it to you, Prime Minister." San Yisheng bowed.

Jiang Ziya narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of haze flashed.

As long as Ji Chang is gotten rid of, wouldn't there be no need to worry about Ji Chang going to Chaoge to explain the situation?

At this time, outside the camp, a soldier ran over: "Report to the Prime Minister, the scout reports that someone is leading a large number of soldiers thirty miles away and is coming toward Chong City. It seems to be Chong Houhu's rescue."

Hearing this, Jiang Ziya was a bit uneasy and walked out of the camp.

"Can you find out who the rescue is?"

"In reply to the Prime Minister, a 'Wen' character is written on the banners of the incoming army."

"'Wen' character?" Jiang Ziya pondered.

San Yisheng on the side spoke up.

"Could it be Wen Zhong? If it really is Wen Zhong, then it's a disaster."

Jiang Ziya's expression condensed.

Wen Zhong was the Grand Preceptor of the Shang Dynasty, a Jie Sect disciple, with superb skills. He had cleared away many enemies for Yin Shang and protected Yin Shang for hundreds of years.

He didn't have Chan Sect disciples to help him yet, so he couldn't deal with Wen Zhong at all. ===== CHAPTER 320 =====
