Chapter 51: Yang Jian, Marquis of Shu

Su Daji naturally did not agree to the guards' invitation.

Because she was the only one he invited.

And Yang Jian naturally would not let her go alone.

So I could only politely decline.

Entered the city.

People lined the streets to welcome them.

Su Daji restrained her charm, otherwise a large crowd of people would surround her carriage and she would not be able to move.

At the same time, there are many hidden talents in Chaoge City, and it is hard to guarantee that anyone will notice anything unusual.

The group went straight into the palace. Only the generals in the army, many princes and their families were allowed to enter the palace.

As for the army of more than 300,000 people, including the human sacrifices of the barbarians, they were stationed outside the city of Chaoge.

Everyone waited until Emperor Yi returned from the ancestral temple.

Then they began to reward people according to their merits.

At the same time, the most high-end banquet of the Shang Dynasty was held.

It is called the Wine Pool and Meat Forest.

Yang Jian originally thought that the wine pool and meat forest was a mating party created by King Zhou and was extremely licentious.

Only now did I realize that it was just a feast held by the Shang Dynasty to reward its soldiers.

There is just enough wine and meat.

The special program he was looking forward to was nothing except a group of dancers dancing at the beginning.

What happened to the agreed debauchery?

Yang Jian suddenly felt bored.

In the field, the official in charge of recording merit read out the names of the soldiers one by one and presented them with awards.

Beside him, Su Daji filled a glass of wine and handed it over.

Yang Jian naturally enjoyed Su Daji's service.

He completely ignored the fiery look in the eyes of the person in front of him.

If his guess was correct, this must be Zishou, the future King Zhou, also known as Emperor Xin.

Yang Jian raised his wine glass and gestured to him from a distance, then drank it all in one gulp.

He then handed the wine glass to Su Daji and signaled her to fill it up.

During this month's journey, he performed his duties as a personal bodyguard perfectly.

In addition, Su Hu had previously stated in public that he intended to marry Su Daji to Yang Jian.

Now everyone thinks that the two of them are just one stroke apart in their destiny.

Su Hu saw this scene and didn't say anything.

After all, they were all affected by Su Daji's magic. Su Daji had no objection, so how could these people have any objection?

Su Daji herself didn't want to do that, but after Yang Jian guessed her purpose last time, a rift developed between the two of them, and Yang Jian suddenly became the one to take the lead.

This situation happened because Yang Jian's strength increased too quickly.

Su Daji tasted the consequences of trying to get the skin of a tiger.

Now she could only pretend to be enjoying it, hoping that one day Yang Jian would let down his guard.

For now, it is better to be patient and help Zishou seize the throne first, so that the Qingqiu fox clan can settle down in the Shang Dynasty as soon as possible.

When the time comes and she has nothing to worry about, she will let Yang Jian know what cruelty is.

Wine is a rare delicacy.

Overflowing with spiritual energy, Yang Jian seldom drinks alcohol even though he has a strong body.

I am a little tipsy at this moment.

A blush appeared on her cheeks.

In a daze, I heard someone calling my name.

After Mei Niang reminded him behind him, he realized that he was asked to go up and claim the reward.

Yang Jian stood up and slowly walked to the center of the field.

His eyes swept over Wen Zhong, who was sitting in the first seat under the throne.

Then he saw Wen Zhong with a smile on his face and nodded slightly.

Yang Jian imitated the others before him, clasped his fists and bowed, "Yang Jian, I pay my respects to the king."

Emperor Yi nodded, "You are Yang Jian? You are indeed very handsome. No wonder the daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou is so infatuated with you. I heard from the Grand Master that after the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, you will become his junior fellow disciple. How about I confer you the title of Marquis as a gift to the Grand Master in advance?"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

This person was actually secretly appreciated by Master Wen.

The reward given by Emperor Yi was also full of selfish motives. In order to please Grand Master Wen, he was even willing to give him a marquisate. This reward was very heavy. Even Yuan Futong, who had made the greatest contribution, did not receive such a reward.

It can be said to be soaring into the sky.

Zishou's face suddenly darkened. He hadn't had time to find Su Daji to confirm, but now he saw that Yang Jian was Wen Taishi's man. He couldn't help but feel uneasy. Could it be that Wen Taishi knew about his plan?

If he knew but did not express his opinion, wouldn't it mean that he was tacitly agreeing that he could seize the throne?

Zishou looked at Su Daji.

Su Daji could not respond. Even if she knew how to transmit sound, she did not dare to do so in this hall.

Wen Zhongke is sitting there, and with his level of cultivation, he will definitely discover it.

"Take it. This is the reward I asked the king for you."

Wen Zhong's voice sounded in Yang Jian's ears.

He couldn't help but think of his previous speculation that Wen Zhong's purpose of entering Chaoge was for territory.

Could this also be part of Wen Zhong’s plan?
Are we going to start sweeping away the immortals and gods?
Yang Jian bowed again and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty. It's all up to Your Majesty."

Emperor Yi nodded, took the map handed to him by the guard beside him, and after a brief look, he slowly said: "Then I will make you the Marquis of Shu."

Marquis of Shu.

Yang Jian was immediately determined.

He had already vaguely guessed the deeper meaning behind the title of marquis that Wen Zhong had helped him to obtain.

According to what he had learned during this period, although there were many immortals and gods in Shu, there was a famous mountain among them called Mount Emei.

There is a very famous person in Mount Emei.

That is the first outer disciple of Jiejiao, Zhao Gongming.

He was a fierce man who relied on the Dinghai Divine Pearl to beat the Twelve Golden Immortals, making it impossible for the Taoist Master Ran Deng to go up to heaven or enter the earth.

In the end, Lu Ya killed him with the most unreasonable magic weapon in the prehistoric times, the Seven Arrows Book.

Yang Jian thought to himself that after he became the disciple of the Golden Spirit Mother, he would become Zhao Gongming's junior and would have to follow her instructions.

It will become his biggest supporter in Shu.

Wen Zhong wants to wipe out the immortals and gods in Shu. If Zhao Gongming is willing to help, it will surely be a sure thing.

I think this is what Wen Zhong planned.

After Yang Jian thanked him again, he continued on his way back.

After leaving the palace, Yang Jian and Su Daji returned to their temporary residence in Chaoge City.

"Xuanyuan Tomb is nothing. I have my own territory now. Why don't you make a deal with me and arrange for your entire clan to live in Shu?"

As soon as Yang Jian came back, he said to Su Daji.

Su Daji worked hard to plan, but there was still no sign of the Xuanyuan Tomb.

And with the help of Wen Zhong, the Grand Tutor of the Shang Dynasty, he easily obtained the title of marquis.

This is the power of the background.

A random word from others may be better than risking your entire fortune.

Su Daji rolled her eyes and said, "What kind of place do you think Shu is? Would Emperor Yi be so kind? There is a country in Shu called Ancient Shu. It is not the territory of the Shang Dynasty, nor did it pay tribute to the Shang Dynasty. If you want to be the Marquis of Shu, first consider whether you have that kind of weight."

Only then did Yang Jian understand the profound meaning of Emperor Yi's arrangement.

It seems that he has to conquer this territory himself.

As for the identity of the Marquis of Shu, it was nothing more than a blank check.

But the amount on this check is really high.

If he could take over Shu and develop steadily, he would definitely become a heavyweight figure when the time comes to be deified.

This also provides him with an additional path for future development.

He had originally thought of finding a place to hide after bringing Yang Chan back.

Now the identity of the Marquis of Shu gives him an opportunity to make a reckless choice.

In addition, the conquest of the ancient Shu Kingdom would provide him with a channel to absorb essence and increase his strength.

Either you hide or you act recklessly. If you are not crazy, you will not survive!
What's more, Zhao Gongming, one of the great bosses of the prehistoric times, is there!

Yang Jian was slightly excited.

Suddenly, the maid Mei Niang came in and reported, "Miss, the young master Zishou is here."

　Thanks for reading.

　　I wish you all the best today.

　　Thank you very much for your company.

　　The only way to repay you is to work hard to write wonderful stories.

　　The transition to the second volume should be faster.

　　It is initially estimated that this volume will be completed within 10 chapters.

　　Although I really want to let Yang Jian go directly to Jin'ao Island to become a disciple, the plot that has been laid out for so long must have an explanation.

　　Hahaha, different choices bring different scenery.

　　Emotion Dictionary~Thank you.
