Chapter 358 Chu Wujiang not only controls Longzhou, but also influences Wuzhou (7.3k in total, please subscribe)

Longcheng, Chu's house, living room
Chu Wujiang returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

He first took a bath and changed his clothes to wash off all the traces on his body, then changed into white clothes, tied his hair and put on a crown, and then he met Hong Yanling's master, the elder of Piaomiao Palace.

Although Feng Lingling is an elder, she looks young, like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, petite and delicate, and quite similar to Yanluo.

Her long hair was neatly tied behind her head and fixed with a simple hairpin, with a few strands of hair gently hanging down, adding a touch of softness.

In order to pay homage to the Champion Marquis, Feng Lingling changed into a special shrine maiden's costume and wore a small golden crown on her head, which made her look particularly solemn and dignified.

The daughter of a witch family prays to God and asks ghosts and gods for advice.

The strongest power of the shrine maidens is not their martial arts skills, but the power of ghosts and gods.

Feng Lingling was deeply impressed by the power of the Champion Marquis, so she changed into gorgeous clothes, allowing her spirituality to reach its peak so that she could communicate with ghosts and gods.

She tried to use the power of ghosts and gods to see through Chu Wujiang's true origins.

Chu Wujiang also opened his true eyes and quickly glanced at Feng Lingling.

open!

Let me see your background!

The two sides looked at each other, trying to see through each other.

One is a handsome young man with an immortal figure, the other is a charming witch with a stunning beauty.

Feng Lingling saw the [Pure Yang Immortal Body] that was connected to the vital energy of heaven and earth.

Chu Wujiang saw the [Ancient Witch Spirit] accompanied by ghosts and gods.

Both of them felt a stinging pain in their eyes, and after just a glance, they subconsciously looked away.

Their eyes crossed.

Chu Wujiang restrained his gaze and thought to himself:

[It turns out that she is the daughter of the Wu family, the legendary ancient witch spirit, accompanied by the spirits of heaven and earth. ]

[It is said that this kind of spirit can more easily communicate with ghosts and gods and receive their blessings. ]

[She is a master of the Yuanling realm, but her strength is more than just the Yuanling realm. ]

Feng Lingling was also surprised:
[What is the purpose of Fengyu Tower? His pure Yang immortal body is enough to enter the Tianjiao list, so why is he only ranked first on the Qianlong list? ]

[Could it be that Fengyu Tower has a problem with Guanjun Hou and deliberately gave him a low ranking? ]

She didn't know that Chu Wujiang deliberately took out the Pure Yang Immortal Body and displayed it in public to attract attention.

The best thing about the Pure Yang Immortal Body is that compared to fortunes like [The Rebirth of the Overlord] and [The Immortal King], it is not afraid of people's fear and is very suitable for deceiving people.

The first round of confrontation between the two sides started with eye contact.

Chu Wujiang quickly judged the opponent's strength, put away the Eye of Truth, strode over, and said loudly:
"I am sorry for not welcoming you, my distinguished guest. I hope Elder Feng will forgive me."

Feng Lingling bowed and said:

"You are too polite, my Lord. It is I who should be nagging."

Chu Wujiang smiled lightly and said:

"Don't say these polite words."

"Come, elder, please take a seat."

Feng Lingling took a seat in the guest seat. She wanted to take another peek, but found that Chu Wujiang was smiling at her.

This smile is warmer than the winter sun, and makes women all over the world's hearts beat fast.

Chu Wujiang usually restrains his charm, but this time, facing the elders of Piaomiao Palace, he unleashed his charm without any hesitation.

Get the head start.

[It's not too much to use a little bit of beauty trick. 】

[After all, Elder Feng came here to call for justice. ]

【I will help her to relieve her anger first. 】

Chu Wujiang looked at the other person with a smile.

Feng Lingling was distracted for a moment, and she even almost forgot why she came here.

Yesterday she was sleeping in the bathtub, and suddenly a spirit evaded her spiritual sense, and a ghost possessed her, and saw everything.

Feng Lingling came to the house at this time, naturally with the intention of calling her to account and taking advantage of the situation to make some further comments.

Unexpectedly, when Chu Wujiang smiled, his anger immediately dissipated a lot.

Feng Lingling thought to herself:
[People often say that Guanjun Hou is the most handsome man in Longzhou. Today I saw that it was indeed true.]

[Not to mention the talented people in Longzhou, even the disciples of Piaomiao Palace cannot match them. ]

[If he is willing to practice the Wu family's inheritance, he will definitely be favored by ghosts and gods! ]

Feng Lingling was very fond of her just by looking at her appearance.

In addition to predictive talents such as [Dreaming] and [Seeing the Stars], the Wu family's inheritance also places special emphasis on appearance.

Because the Wu family believes that people with handsome appearance are more likely to receive blessings from gods.

The reason is simple.

Since humans are created by gods, the beauty or ugliness of one's appearance is naturally a testament to whether gods have put their heart into it or not.

Therefore, the descendants of the Wu family pay more attention to appearance than ordinary people.

Feng Lingling saw this fairy-like appearance and couldn't help but imagine:
[It would be great if he could join Piao Miao Palace. ]

[As for the body, it seems that there is no disadvantage. 】

[No, you can't think like that.]

Feng Lingling bit her lips fiercely, using the stinging sensation to bring herself back to normal.

[He came to spy yesterday. He must be a lustful, shameless person.]

[I can't be fooled by his beauty. I have to be very careful.]

[What's more, the Palace Master's mission is important, so don't be careless! ]

In that short moment, Feng Lingling's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts. She sat in the chair, slightly absent-minded.

Chu Wujiang saw that his evil plan had succeeded, and asked with a smile:
"Elder Feng?"

Feng Lingling came back to her senses, stood up and saluted Chu Wujiang in the manner of a witch:
"I am Feng Lingling, your Highness, to pay my respects to you, Lord Marquis."

Chu Wujiang said politely:

"Elder Feng, there is no need to be so polite."

"I wonder what advice you have for me, Elder, since you have come all this way?"

Feng Lingling replied hypocritically:

"Don't take advice seriously."

"The Marquis defeated the merman army, safeguarded the peace of the area, and became famous throughout the world."

"Longzhou and Wuzhou have always been in harmony, sharing the same blood and being friendly neighbors to each other."

"On behalf of Piao Miao Palace, I congratulate the Marquis on being crowned the Champion Marquis."

"A small gift is not a sign of respect."

"Hanmei."

Hanmei, the maidservant beside Feng Lingling, also fell into the trap of the beauty. She stood there in a daze, secretly glancing at Chu Wujiang.

Now that she heard the elder's speech, she hurriedly picked up the jade box and handed it to the old housekeeper for inspection.

Chu Wujiang didn't care what the gift was. He motioned the old butler to accept it and said politely:
"It is a great honor for the Chu Mansion that Elder Feng has come to visit my humble abode. There is no need to do such a thing."

Feng Lingling mobilized her spirituality and finally avoided the interference of Chu Wujiang's charm. She said seriously:

"It should."

"My disciple offended you a few days ago. It was all because of my failure to discipline him. I hope you can be tolerant of me."

Chu Wujiang said indifferently:
"Miss Hong has a chivalrous heart, and I admire her very much."

"That little grudge is nothing."

"Someone, come and serve the tea."

Chu Wujiang and the other person exchanged some polite words on some meaningless topics.

As a result, he was surprised to find that the maids had not yet served tea, and he could not help but scold them.

The maids in the Chu residence looked to be in a dilemma.

"My Lord, it's not that we don't serve tea, but..."

Feng Lingling explained:

"My Lord, don't blame them. It was I who told them not to make tea."

Chu Wujiang was surprised:

"Why?"

Feng Lingling then added:
"So that the Marquis can know."

"No matter what kind of tea it is, it will only do harm to me, not good."

"So I don't drink tea."

When Chu Wujiang came into this world, tea was the most common detoxifier. Tea like Enlightenment Tea and Immortal Tea could also help warriors achieve enlightenment.

There are a large number of teahouses in Longzhou, which claim to have the effect of increasing martial arts skills and attract warriors to spend money.

By the way, the boss behind these teahouses is the Changxin Chamber of Commerce, and about 70% of Longzhou’s tea plantations belong to the Chu family.

It turns out that Feng Lingling doesn't drink tea, which is really rare.

This was the first time Chu Wujiang entertained such a guest, and he couldn't help but ask:

"May I ask, what does Elder Feng usually drink?"

"Don't let it get out that the Chu family doesn't know how to entertain guests."

Feng Lingling looked hesitant and wanted to make an excuse.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong with her maid.

The maid Han Mei was peeking at Chu Wujiang from the side. Chu Wujiang sensed her gaze, followed her gaze, and smiled slightly.

The maid, who was of outstanding appearance, could not help but blush, be fascinated, and let her imagination run wild.

【Lord Champion is smiling at me. 】

For this smile, Elder Feng's maid replied subconsciously:

"My Lord, the elders usually only drink Spirit Honey Magic Wine."

"With two Misty Leaves at most."

Oops!

As soon as the maid finished speaking, she quickly covered her mouth and her face turned pale.

Feng Lingling frowned and could not help but scold:

"Hanmei!"

Hanmei realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy:

"This servant is too talkative. Please punish me, elder."

Hanmei knows Feng Lingling's character very well. If you insist on being stubborn, the punishment will be severe. If you confess your guilt on the spot, she will be lenient with you.

Chu Wujiang quickly chimed in:

"Don't blame me, elder. Miss Hanmei is impatient and speaks too quickly. She shouldn't be punished."

"Please forgive me."

Seeing the two of them singing the same tune, Feng Lingling said unhappily:

"The Champion Marquis really knows how to be sympathetic and gentle to women."

"It has only been a short while, and he has already flirted with my maid, seducing me completely."

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but said awkwardly:

"Elder, where are you talking about?"

"I didn't do anything."

Pooh!
You know clearly whether you have done anything or not!
Feng Lingling could understand the maid's misconduct, but she still frowned and reprimanded her:
"Hanmei, go back first and copy the Heart Purification Mantra 100 times as punishment."

"If I finish copying it before I go back, then I will copy the Taoist's "Tai Shang Ganying Pian" and the Buddhist's "Heart Sutra" a hundred times."

"No use of energy, no laziness."

The maid Hanmei burst into tears of gratitude and said:
"Thank you for your mercy, Elder. Thank you for your intercession, Lord."

"Go down."

Hanmei left with gratitude, and the small storm disappeared.

Feng Lingling reflected secretly and decided to let the maids practice "Ice Heart Art" next time, so as to prevent people like Chu Wujiang from seducing their souls away with just a smile.

Chu Wujiang quickly restrained his charm to avoid hurting others. He apologized:
"I forgot to restrain my aura, please forgive me, elder."

Chu Wujiang still has the appearance of an immortal, but he is not so breathtaking that would make women all over the world lose their minds.

Chu Wujiang had seen Fairy Lingbo and Taoist Qingxuan in the past. They were both accustomed to covering their faces, which was also related to the fact that it would affect other people's minds.

Feng Lingling was relieved at first, but then a little disappointed:
[Actually, you don’t have to put it away. ]

[I can afford it. ]

Chu Wujiang ignored Feng Lingling's change of heart and asked the old butler:
"Uncle Fu, do you have any magical wine?"

The old butler looked embarrassed:
"Master, we still have this honey wine, but the magical honey wine..."

While explaining the situation of the mead in the mansion, the old butler used a secret technique to transmit the message:
[Family, that magical wine is the poison that the witches and wizards take when they pray to the gods.]

[The Misty Leaf can make people lose their minds and not know where to go. ]

[Except for Piaomiao Palace, this cannot be purchased with silver anywhere else. ]

It turned out to be the case.

Chu Wujiang suddenly remembered the witch from his previous life.

In order to ensure the progress of the ritual, witches and priests will take some hallucinogenic herbs, such as some special mushrooms.

They will think they have seen a god and regard the illusion as the real God.

And in this world, similar rituals still exist.

It was just ineffective in the previous life, but in this life, I can really communicate with ghosts and gods.

Chu Wujiang instantly understood why Feng Lingling didn't drink tea.

She was afraid that tea would destroy the spirituality she had accumulated.

The witch takes [Spiritual Honey Fantasy Wine] and [Blurred Leaf] in order to allow her soul to see ghosts and gods.

Tea can detoxify and refresh the mind, which greatly reduces the effect of the Mi Li Leaf.

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"Elder Feng, please forgive me for my poor hospitality. Could you please drink some ordinary honey wine?"

Feng Lingling replied casually:

"No problem, the guest follows the host's wishes."

"I came here to..."

Seeing that the maid made a mistake, Feng Lingling wanted to go straight to the point and see what response strategy Chu Wujiang had.

Unexpectedly, Chu Wujiang made a stop gesture:

"Wait a minute, Elder Feng. We'll talk after we have a drink."

"Lest someone say that the Chu family neglected their guests."

Feng Lingling's aura was suppressed, and there were many rules in the noble mansion, so she had no choice but to let it go.

The old butler immediately brought the mead.

Chu Wujiang personally poured wine for Feng Lingling and added some seasoning to the honey wine.

This ingredient is dragon energy.

When the honey wine was brought to Feng Lingling, there was a peculiar mist floating in it.

Feng Lingling found the mead a little strange and wanted to refuse it.

Chu Wujiang didn't want to waste such a great opportunity, so he raised his glass and advised:
"Elder Feng, this wine is not ordinary."

"You must try it first, as an apology for the Chu family's poor hospitality."

"What's the matter? Let's talk after we finish drinking."

Yesterday he spied on Elder Feng bathing, causing him to use divination techniques and suffer backlash.

Give her a little compensation today to make her feel sorry for it.

It will be much easier to negotiate then.

This is just like a business negotiation, you always have to go to a club.

But in Feng Lingling's opinion, all this

It's just too suspicious.

Feng Lingling has been in the martial arts world for a long time and has seen many tricks of poisoning food.

[The Champion Marquis would not resort to such tactics.] [Lord Wushen, should I drink it?]

Feng Lingling was calling out to ghosts and gods in her heart. She had the spirit of an ancient witch, which was very similar to the [Gambling Demon]. She could communicate with gods in exchange for important information.

This time, in order to deal with Chu Wujiang, she deliberately maintained her psychic communication.

The witch god issued a decree:

[Okay, drink it.]

Feng Lingling couldn't help but feel relieved after receiving the reminder from the witch god.

She raised her glass and took a cautious sip.

Woo!
A powerful dragon energy rushed directly into Feng Lingling, flowing through her body like a hot current, making her suddenly numb and unable to move.

What is this?
How can there be dragon energy?

Feng Lingling was shocked and thought Chu Wujiang was trying to murder her.

The witch often drinks [Spiritual Honey Fantasy Wine], which, combined with [Blurred Leaves], makes her spirituality more sensitive, but also more suspicious.

[I'm afraid this dragon energy will destroy my spirituality. ]

[Yesterday he sent his spirit to spy on me bathing.]

[Today I came to visit him. He first used the beauty trap and now he is blatantly poisoning me! ]

[Could it be that he wants to capture me and imprison me? ]

The more Feng Lingling thought about it, the more things seemed off and wrong!

Zheng!
The elder of Piaomiao Palace immediately burst out with sword intent, and the Piaomiao sword at her waist immediately began to cast an illusion, making it impossible to identify her true location.

Phantoms appeared in the Chu family's living room, as if Feng Lingling was everywhere.

Get started first!
Misty Sword Technique——Thousands of Phantoms!
More than a dozen Feng Linglings appeared in the living room, all of them holding Piaomiao Swords and swinging their swords to slash out sword energy.

The Chu family's living room was suddenly filled with sword energy.

However, Feng Lingling still retained a bit of rationality.

These sword energies did not fly towards Chu Wujiang, but instead wrapped around Feng Lingling, maintaining a defensive posture.

She just shouted:

"Champion Marquis, what do you mean?"

"Why poison the wine?"

Feng Lingling felt the dragon energy pouring into her body, creating a chain reaction with her spiritual body, which made her shocked and angry.

The old butler was shocked when he saw this, and quickly drew out the Bingpo Cold Light Sword and used Bingpo Cold Pupils to block Chu Wujiang.

The icy wall and countless cold air blocked Chu Wujiang's way.

The two sides were at war with each other.

Chu Wujiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly shouted:
"Uncle Fu, stop it. These are all fake."

"Elder Feng, stop and feel it carefully again!"

Chu Wujiang placed his hand on the Wuxiang Sword, and the sword intent burst out.

Feng Lingling can summon countless sword energies, while Chu Wujiang only has one sword.

Thunder Prison Sword Technique——Thunder breaks the sky!
It was like a bolt of lightning falling from the sky, and Chu Wujiang's sword intent pierced through Feng Lingling's layers of phantoms like a bullet and reached the core.

Feng Lingling gritted her teeth and prepared to fight back.

Chu Wujiang suddenly sat in the main seat and retracted his knife.

A storm came to an abrupt end.

Feng Lingling holds a long sword, possessed by ghosts and gods, and is hesitant.

"Elder Feng, calm down."

"These are all dragon qi, no drugs have been added."

Chu Wujiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to give the other party a surprise, but ended up frightening him instead.

Next time when you give dragon energy to others, you must inform them in advance to avoid misunderstandings between the two parties.

Feng Lingling retracted her sword now, and felt a warm current flowing through her body.

Ah ~
Her body let out comfortable moans.

There was a trace of original dragon energy in the tea. Chu Wujiang added a large amount of dragon energy to help Feng Lingling repair the hidden injuries left by yesterday's divination.

Not only that, even the sequelae from her use of [Spiritual Dance] in the past have been alleviated a lot.

Feng Lingling blushed slightly and couldn't help asking:
"Champion Marquis, what do you mean?"

Chu Wujiang sighed:
"The Chu family's hospitality was poor, so we had to use some dragon sparkling wine."

"I wonder if it suits the elder's taste?"

Do you think this is poor hospitality?

Now Feng Lingling didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

She could only say:
"Thank you for your hospitality, my Lord."

"I apologize for the offense just now, I hope you will forgive me, my Lord."

Feng Lingling was clearly saying thank you, but she looked like she was gritting her teeth.

The witches of Piao Miao Palace take [Spiritual Honey Magic Wine] all year round to communicate with ghosts and gods.

This makes their bodies more sensitive.

On weekdays, Feng Lingling takes a bath to relieve hallucinations.

Chu Wujiang had good intentions in putting dragon energy into the tea, but it caused her to have a huge misunderstanding.

Now that she came to her senses, she felt both ashamed and annoyed.

Chu Wujiang poured another glass of honey wine, took a sip and said with a smile:
"You're welcome, Elder Feng. Please take a seat."

"You and Miss Hong are somewhat similar. You both believe in the sword in your hands."

Chu Wujiang is still a little nostalgic.

At that time, Hong Yanling couldn't argue with him, so she wanted to threaten him with force.

Both of them have one characteristic: they only believe in the sword in their hands and will never sit and wait for death.

When he recalls it now, it's still a little funny.

Feng Lingling glared at him and said unhappily:

"I now understand why Yan Ling praised you so highly."

She placed great emphasis on these four words.

Chu Wujiang drank the wine in one gulp and said with a smile:
"I am over-flattered!"

I'm not praising you!

Feng Lingling was so angry that she was unable to speak.

Chu Wujiang added:

"Elder Feng, why are you visiting the Chu Mansion? Please tell me clearly."

It's all your fault.

Feng Lingling found herself so angry that she was confused, and quickly said:
"I am here to discuss something important with you. Please, Lord Marquis, please leave..."

Feng Lingling felt a little embarrassed when she said this.

Just now she was on the verge of a fight with Chu Wujiang, and now it seemed unreasonable to ask her people to leave.

"How about I come visit you another day?"

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"That's not necessary."

"Uncle Fu, please step back."

The old butler shouted reluctantly:
"Master of the house."

Chu Wujiang said confidently:

"It's different now than before. Even if Elder Feng wants to assassinate her, she won't be able to do that."

Feng Lingling couldn't help but look at Chu Wujiang again.

[The knife power just now, and the absolute self-confidence. 】

[Even if Ling'er mastered the Piaomiao Jinghong sword, could she really compete with him? ]

[This is simply impossible.]

Feng Lingling now lost confidence in her apprentice.

The old butler had no choice but to agree:

"Yes, master."

"I am waiting outside the door."

After saying this, the old butler left the living room, put up a mute note, and the servants closed the door.

There were only two people left in the huge living room.

Chu Wujiang made a sign of invitation, and Feng Lingling took a deep breath and said:
"I have a few things to discuss with you, Lord."

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"please say."

Feng Lingling said quickly:
"First, Piaomiao Palace heard that the court appointed the Marquis as the commander-in-chief of the three states, controlling the troops of Shengzhou, Yuzhou, and Longzhou."

"Besides that, I also heard that the Marquis has a close relationship with the Fayuan Temple."

"Is this possible?"

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:
"It's true."

The court gave him the power to command the troops of three states. There was no doubt about this in Longzhou, but as for Shengzhou and Yuzhou, it was purely nominal.

When Chu Wujiang went to command the troops of Shengzhou, their commanders only did a perfunctory job.

so what should I do now?
Serve cold.

He doesn't have so many servants to control the troops of three states, so he can only think about it later.

Feng Lingling quickly added:

“So Piaomiao Palace hopes that the Marquis will show some mercy and not interfere in the dispute between Shengzhou and Wuzhou.”

Longzhou faces the sea, Yuzhou is in the south of Longzhou, Shengzhou is in the west of Longzhou, and Wuzhou is in the southwest of Longzhou.

The imperial court appointed Chu Wujiang to command the troops of three states, so why didn't they include Wuzhou?

Because transportation between Longzhou and Wuzhou is extremely inconvenient, it is either primeval forests or continuous mountains.

Economically and politically, it is in a semi-isolated state.

If Hong Yanling wants to return to Wuzhou, the best way is to go to Shengzhou first and then to Wuzhou.

In other words, Wuzhou and Shengzhou are the only ones that are truly adjacent to each other, and there are many contradictions between the two.

Chu Wujiang pondered and said:

"Elder Feng, please try to explain it."

With Chu Wujiang's powerful strength, his mere presence in Longzhou is enough to make Wuzhou feel like a thorn in its side.

All parties wanted to find out his attitude.

Elder Feng took a deep breath and said:
"To this day, many people in Wuzhou still maintain their faith in the Wu God."

"Fayuan Temple has been infiltrating Wuzhou, attempting to replace it, and the two sides are constantly in conflict."

"Several commanders in Shengzhou are willing to serve as minions of the Fayuan Temple. They often fight across borders in the name of suppressing bandits and oppress the followers of the Wushen."

This belief in witch gods is not very legal.

Chu Wujiang remembered the orthodox beliefs of the Tianming Dynasty, which included Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, but the belief in witch gods seemed ambiguous.

The imperial court did not strictly prohibit it, but it suppressed it secretly.

The birth of Piaomiao Palace itself is related to the gradual weakening of the belief in witch gods.

For example, the new generation like Hong Yanling does not have many traces of the Wu family, and she has not even learned how to worship ghosts and gods.

Chu Wujiang took a sip of honey wine, put down the glass, tapped the table and said:

"So Piaomiao Palace hopes that I will remain neutral?"

"I'm afraid that's a little difficult."

Feng Lingling was about to speak when Chu Wujiang waved his hand and said:

"Elder Feng, please listen to me first."

"Fayuan Temple has been very kind to me. It has helped me with a magical weapon and provided funds to evacuate the people of Longzhou."

"If you take into account the kindness of Mahayana Temple, this Marquis owes a great favor."

Before the war with the mermaids, Chu Wujiang had already attracted investments from the Biluo Fairy Palace, Mahayana Temple, and Fayuan Temple.

There is no big problem with the Biluo Fairy Palace.

Madam Feng Yao's contribution to her promotion alone is enough to clear the air.

The two biggest debts of gratitude are owed to Mahayana Temple and Fayuan Temple.

If they asked for assistance in encircling Piaomiao Palace, Chu Wujiang might send troops to help.

As for Piaomiao Palace and the Chu family, there is no hatred between them, nor do they have any conflicting interests.

"If Fayuan Temple had not invited me, I would definitely not have participated in this matter."

“Once there is a request, it’s another matter.”

Feng Lingling's heart sank, and she quickly added:

"The court is now summoning Marquis Guanjun to the capital in order to trap him!"

"As long as the Marquis is willing to remain neutral, Piaomiao Palace is willing to assist the Marquis in the future!"

"My Lord, if you don't participate in the fight between the two states, you can get such benefits. Why not do it?"

You see, smart people are all the same.

For a local tyrant like Chu Wujiang, it would be more comfortable in Beijing than in other places.

Unfortunately, Chu Wujiang still shook his head firmly and refused:

“This is not a question of interests.”

Fayuan Temple and Dacheng Temple lent a helping hand in the war against the mermaids, and Chu Wujiang has already taken sides.

Chu Wujiang emphasized again:

"This Marquis has no opinion on Piao Miao Palace or Wuzhou."

“Whenever there is an opportunity, we will try to avoid participating in this fight.”

Feng Lingling communicated with the ghosts and gods and came to the conclusion that Chu Wujiang's words were sincere and not meant to raise the price.

But Elder Feng came here with a mission, so how could he give up easily?

She said in a deep voice:

"May I ask, sir, under what circumstances are you willing to remain neutral?"

"For example, a sect marriage?"

Chu Wujiang couldn't help laughing:
"What are you thinking, Elder Feng? I am not that kind of person."

Pooh!
Feng Lingling confirmed through ghosts and gods that this was a lie.

She is possessed by ghosts and no one can deceive her, including Chu Wujiang.

Chu Wujiang added:

"I will remain neutral and even refuse the favor from the Dharma Temple only under one condition."

“That’s taking a stand on what’s right and what’s wrong.”

For example, Fayuan Temple wants to go to Wuzhou to deal with Tutu and kill all the non-Buddhists.

Then Chu Wujiang would not stand on the side of Fayuan Temple.

Personal relationships cannot take precedence over principles.

Feng Lingling had no choice but to ask the Witch God again, but the Witch God gave her a strange answer.

But Feng Lingling had no choice, she could only try:
"My Lord, Piaomiao Palace knows one more thing."

"The Sima family supports the crown prince and Prime Minister Fang on the surface, but they are secretly planting a large amount of spiritual rice."

"They want to destroy the forests and farmland in Wuzhou and plant spiritual rice instead."

"Once they succeed, the people of Wuzhou will become refugees."

“I wonder if this is right or wrong?”

When Chu Wujiang heard about the Sima family, he immediately changed his words:

"Of course it counts."

"Then we can discuss it again."
