The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

While Chen Subaru was enjoying "romance and happiness" in Juancheng, Suzaku Castle in the south also experienced great changes.

After Tao Zhen and Chen Liuyi returned to Zhuque Castle, under Tao Zhen's assignment, Chen Liuyi immediately began to prepare to take over all affairs in the castle. Since Tao Zhen was discouraged before and had not made any arrangements for this, when it came time to implement it now, Chen Liuyi immediately discovered that she was facing considerable resistance.

When Tao Zhen and Chen Feng jointly managed the Suzaku Fort, he could mobilize all the Suzaku guards in the fort, and even command the main guard of the fort, as well as control the guards in outlying towns. However, he previously intended to step down as the commander of the Suzaku Guard and dispersed many of his powers. Now he wants to take it back without Chen Feng's cooperation, which has become very difficult.

In desperation, Chen Liuyi applied for Tao Zhen's assistance and gradually regained power through coaxing or threatening means. In the process, a new problem emerged - what they are doing now is basically asking Tao Zhen to seize the power of his wife. The powers they take back are primarily external, and may become ineffective if turned inward.

Regarding this problem, Chen Liuyi was helpless and could only try his best to assist Chen Feiyu in weakening Chen Feng's power.

When Chen Feiyu first heard that his father intended to retire, he felt very depressed. She originally thought that there was a possibility of reconciliation between her parents, but she didn't expect that it would turn into this situation. However, when Tao Zhen appeared in front of her with Chen Liuyi, Chen Feiyu's mood was slightly relieved.

Under the careful arrangements of Tao Zhen and Chen Liuyi, Chen Feiyu gradually gained real power, and the surrounding areas of Suzaku Castle were almost completely controlled by the father and daughter.

However, just as the plan was about to come to an end, something beyond Chen Liuyi's expectation happened - Chen Feng's fort guard suddenly placed Chen Feiyu under house arrest. At that time, Chen Feiyu was discussing some confidential information with Chen Liuyi. The fortress guard force broke into the independent attic where Chen Feiyu was located and quickly subdued the guards. Chen Feiyu was taken away with almost no resistance. Fortunately, the secret guards arranged by Tao Zhen protected Chen Liuyi from evacuating in time, otherwise she would also be under house arrest.

After learning the news, Tao Zhen did not summon people to investigate. He knew full well that the mastermind behind Chen Feng's control of the Xuanwu Army finally revealed his true face.

Tao Zhen kept Chen Liuyi in charge of surface operations, on the one hand to exercise her abilities, and on the other hand to wait for the forces lurking behind the scenes to show their feet.

He has been observing this hidden force for a long time. All the rifts between Chen Feng and him are directly or indirectly due to the operation and slander of this force. The shadow of this force was behind the previous actions to subvert the Suzaku Castle, intercept and kill Chen Liuyi and Chen Xing'er, and block Chen Feng.

The biggest obstacle to why this force had not been eradicated before was Chen Feng himself. Because this force apparently had a background in the Xuanwu Army, Chen Feng trusted his second brother so much that many of Tao Zhen's long-planned actions were unable to proceed in depth due to Chen Feng's obstruction, and therefore could not eliminate this vassal. The cancer of Suzaku Castle.

Now, in the power struggle with Chen Feng, it is crucial to eradicate this secret force affiliated with the Xuanwu Army. Therefore, he asked Chen Liuyi to enter the core of power to help Chen Feiyu. Once the two of them tended to exclude Chen Feng, they would inevitably draw out this force at a critical moment.

This strategy not only helps reveal the true purpose of the Xuanwu Army, but also allows Chen Liuyi to accumulate experience in handling affairs and pave the way for her future. Compared with Chen Xing'er and Chen Feiyu, Tao Zhen still has a very strong affection for Chen Liuyi's daughter. He valued her, and hoped that this daughter could inherit his mantle in the future and continue to suppress the underground forces hidden in Suzaku Castle.

Just when a sudden change occurred, Tao Zhen stood in front of a painting with his hands behind his back. The grassland in the painting was shrouded in dark clouds and full of oppression. Not long after, Chen Liuyi, who was escorted by secret guards to escape, came to Tao Zhen's house to report. Tao Zhen motioned for her to come in.

"Father, Feiyu was taken away by the fort guard and is now under house arrest in the main fort. Could it be mother..." Chen Liuyi reported the situation anxiously, but still remained respectful.

"Well, Yiyi, you are scared. I already know about this. Now, go and do two things for me." Tao Zhen did not look back. After finishing speaking, he took out two secret letters from his arms and handed them to Chen Liuyi. .

Chen Liuyi took the letters and opened one of them, and found that it was Tao Zhen who warned the family council of elders in the name of herself and Chen Feiyu, pointing out that the fort guard had been infiltrated by the Saints and planned to assassinate Chen Feng again after the last assassination failed. Since the castle master and his guards were involved, the elders gave the two women the power to mobilize the Suzaku Guards to counter the rebellion.

Another secret letter came from a spy hidden in the fort's main guard, providing information such as the location where Chen Feng and Chen Feiyu were imprisoned, and the route of the raid.

"Ah Weng, this..." Chen Liuyi was so shocked by her father's methods that she was speechless.

Tao Zhen said calmly to Chen Liuyi: "Go, Yiyi. Be sure to bring your mother and Feiyu back."

Chen Liuyi immediately bowed and left. She was secretly glad that Brother Wen Ruo had convinced her father, otherwise she would never have been able to make such a comprehensive plan. She is determined to complete the tasks assigned by her father perfectly, otherwise she will betray her father's trust.

As soon as Chen Liuyi went out, he quickly contacted his father's forces, summoned the commanders of the Suzaku Guards in the city, and showed them the secret message of the Presbyterian Council. At the same time, hundreds of hidden secret guards began to take action, and the movements of these commanders were restricted. Some of the Xuanwu Army soldiers who had already been identified were taken away directly, while others were led to the preset attack assembly point.

Chen Liuyi ordered the messengers to hold the commanders' tokens and mobilize the elite Suzaku Guards from all walks of life to gather at the assembly point. While the Suzaku Guards were gathering, more than twenty secret guards also sneaked into the main Suzaku Fortress. These secret guards are different from the counterparts around Chen Liuyi. They are all elites who have followed Tao Zhen on many missions. No matter in terms of physical skills, cultivation, skills or on-the-spot experience, they far surpassed Chen Liuyi.

These secret guards were divided into two groups and quietly entered the main castle from a predetermined position. They immediately avoided the guards from two directions and successfully sneaked in. Under the guidance of the internal officers, the two teams quickly figured out key information such as the strength of the guards, patrol routes, command core, defense focus, and the locations of the fort master Chen Feng and the young fort master Chen Feiyu in the main fort. When the Suzaku Guard launches an attack, these two elite secret guards will take immediate action to resolve the guards and traps at key locations, rescue Chen Feng and Chen Feiyu, and join their large forces.

Everything was ready, Chen Liuyi and many Suzaku Guard commanders were hiding at the assembly point and waiting for the Suzaku Guards to arrive. Although her father's arrangements were very secure, she still felt something was wrong in her heart, "It was too quiet, and the whole operation went too smoothly."
