Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 48 You Su
If the State of Qi was in trouble, Ao Bing could choose to help or not. After all, King Jie of Xia lost the world because of his unkindness, which went against the beliefs of Emperor Yu.

Therefore, as the descendants of Xia Jie, the Qi State had original sin. Even if Ao Bing considered himself the descendant of Emperor Yu, it was reasonable for him not to help them.

But Yucheng is a place for worshipping Emperor Yu, which is equivalent to Emperor Yu's mausoleum. If someone leads troops to attack this place, it is equivalent to digging up someone's ancestral grave. Ao Bing certainly cannot stand idly by and must pay him back.

"Hey, there is Suguo!"

Qi Jun sighed and answered truthfully.

He knew Ao Bing's purpose. If possible, he really wanted to take revenge personally, but the reality did not allow it.

However, Ao Bing, as the descendant of the Holy Emperor, is not an outsider. There is not much difference between him taking revenge and myself taking revenge.

"There is the Su Kingdom?"

Hearing the name, Ao Bing frowned and was stunned for a long time before he remembered the origin of this country.

Perhaps many people have not heard of the State of Su, but if it is Su Hu, Marquis of Jizhou, more people will know about it.

The king of the Su Kingdom was the famous Jizhou Hou Su Hu. Of course, compared to him, his daughter Su Daji was more famous.

Marquis of Jizhou has never been an official title. Jizhou is the first of the Nine Provinces. The Shang Dynasty must be crazy to confer a title of Marquis of Jizhou and make itself uncomfortable.

Su Hu's official title was Su Hou, and his fief was the State of Su.

The reason why he was called Marquis of Jizhou was because the State of Su was located in Jizhou and its strength was the strongest in Jizhou. That's why he was respected as Marquis of Jizhou by all the princes of Jizhou, which means the leader of the princes of Jizhou.

After thinking about the origin of the Su Kingdom, Ao Bing became even more confused.

There are Su State and Qi State, one is located in Jizhou and the other is located in Yuzhou. They do not border each other and are completely unrelated. Why would Su State come all the way to attack Qi State?
Puzzled, Ao Bing asked directly: "Although Jizhou is connected to Yuzhou, Su State is so far away from Qi State that one has to cross many vassal states to reach it."

"I don't understand why Lord Su would be willing to take such a huge risk and send troops to attack the State of Qi?"

"How big is the hatred between you two?"

The so-called rites, music, conquests and wars all come from the top.

Without the Emperor's order, the princes could not send troops to attack other princes. If they disobeyed the order, it could be considered as a rebellion, treating the Shang Dynasty as nothing and wantonly trampling on the majesty of the common lord of the world.

When the emperor hears of this, he will surely send troops to attack.

Therefore, to Ao Bing, it was extremely absurd for the State of Su to send troops to attack the State of Qi.

Without the order of Emperor Shang, Marquis Su sent troops to attack the State of Qi.

Is this attack on the State of Qi?
No, this is a slap in the face of Da Shang.

If the Shang Emperor did not respond, then he, the common ruler of the world, would become a decoration in the future. Who among the princes of the world would take him seriously?
Therefore, if the news that Yousu State attacked Qi State without order spread out, what would await Yousu State would certainly be the Shang Emperor leading his army to fight in person!
"It's for the Holy Queen's inheritance!"

"There is a fox clan behind the Su Kingdom. They got the news from somewhere that the Qi Kingdom has the Saint Queen's inheritance. So they came to the Qi Kingdom and asked us to hand over the Saint Queen's inheritance."

"But we have fallen to this point. We have lost even the inheritance of Emperor Yu, let alone the inheritance of the Holy Empress. We cannot meet the requirements of the Su Kingdom at all."

"But the Fox Clan didn't believe us at all. They thought we were lying and that the Saint Queen's inheritance must be hidden in the city. So, they ordered the Su Kingdom to send troops to the Qi Kingdom, preparing to break through Yucheng and rob the Saint Queen's inheritance."

When talking about the origin of the conflict between the two countries, King Qi couldn't help feeling extremely aggrieved.

The State of Qi was so poor that even immortals could not be born there. However, those people with ulterior motives were still unwilling to believe that the State of Qi had declined and still stubbornly believed that the State of Qi must have hidden a lot of good things.

Why don’t they think about this: if Qi State really had good things hidden, how could it have fallen to the point where it is bullied like this today?

So, Qi Guo is very patient, right? When bullied, he would rather not fight back, not say anything back, and quietly lick his wounds behind closed doors, rather than use the treasures passed down from his ancestors to vent his anger.

This……

The world has too deep a misunderstanding of the State of Qi!
"The Saint Queen's inheritance includes a fox lineage?"

Ao Bing knew that the inheritance of the Holy Queen referred to the inheritance of Emperor Yu's wife, Tushan.

Tushan clan is the master of Tushan fox, which is a congenital nine-tailed white fox. That is why, in this era, the nine-tailed white fox is a serious auspicious beast and is worshipped by many human races.

But the name "The Fox Lineage" is a bit niche. Ao Bing thought about it for a long time before he remembered that the Fox Lineage is one of the main lineages of the fox clan.

The fox clan has four main lineages, namely Tushan Fox, Qingqiu Fox, You Fox and Chun Fox, all of which have nine-tailed celestial foxes born from them.

Among them, Tushan fox has the highest status and has long been integrated into the human race. Qingqiu fox has long been a follower of the immortal way and is a descendant of the immortal fox lineage.

Chunhu is a hidden fox that has lived a secluded life since its birth and rarely interacts with humans.

There is a fox who joined the demon tribe in ancient times. Its name is recorded on the demon-summoning banner and it is a real lineage of demon foxes.

Ao Bing could understand that there were foxes that wanted to inherit the Saint Queen's legacy.

Although both are nine-tailed foxes, Tushan is the holy queen of the human race. Not only does she have the cultivation of a quasi-saint, she also has the guidance of Emperor Yu in her practice. Her inheritance is so high that it can be said to be pointing directly to the realm of Hunyuan.

But the Youhu clan was only a Daluo Jinxian, and its inheritance was much weaker than the Tushan inheritance. If the Youhu of later generations wanted to make progress, the best choice would be to seek the Tushan inheritance to make up for the shortcomings of their own inheritance.

Therefore, it is normal for the Youhu lineage to seek the inheritance of the Saint Queen, and they have reasons to do so. As for why the Yousu Kingdom should obey the orders of the Youhu lineage, this is even simpler.

In this era, Su and Fox are homophones, so if you have Su, you have Fox. If you have the Su lineage, you have the Fox lineage.

The so-called Yousu Kingdom, if nothing unexpected happens, should have been established by the descendants of humans and foxes, so the two are inseparable and are one.

The good things were done by Su Guo from the human race, and the bad things were definitely done by the fox clan from the demon race.

"I can understand that the Yousu clan wants to inherit the Saint Queen's legacy, but their behavior is so radical that they directly ignore the ban of the Great Shang and brazenly send troops to attack the Qi Kingdom. Aren't they really afraid that the Great Shang will send troops to crush them?"

"Yousu State can dominate Jizhou, but it is insignificant in front of Dashang. When the army arrives, it will not take long to destroy Yousu State."

"In this case, even if they obtain the Saint Queen's inheritance from Qi State, what's the point? They won't have time to practice at all."

Ao Bing could understand Su Guo’s motives, but it was difficult for him to agree with their approach.

It is easy to conquer Qi, but it will be hard to explain afterwards. The Shang Dynasty will be furious, and then the Su Kingdom will have no other choice but to be destroyed.

"Perhaps the Su Kingdom feels that the Shang Dynasty will not use military force against them just for the Qi Kingdom."

"Mr. Renlong, you may not know that many years ago, the Su Kingdom stopped paying tribute to the Shang Dynasty. But even so, the Shang Dynasty still did not do anything to them."

"This move undoubtedly encouraged the arrogance of the Su State. Even the refusal to pay tribute was not something that the Shang Dynasty cared about. So what was the point of attacking the small Qi State?"

Seeing that Ao Bing was confused, Qi Guo expressed his own opinion.

"It's been a long time since you paid tribute?"

Ao Bing once again felt that his cognition was challenged. The fact that the princes did not pay tribute to the Shang Dynasty was equivalent to the local areas not paying taxes to the central government in later generations. It was already considered de facto independence.

Can the big merchants tolerate this? No wonder the Su country is so arrogant. If it were Ao Bing, he would probably be even more arrogant. It's all because of the big merchants.
