At this moment, Chu Xiu did not know that Huo Xingzun was thinking so much at this moment.
He had presented such an expensive gift to attract the attention of others. And now, he had achieved his goal.
However, at this moment, Nalan Hai spoke in an ambiguous tone, "Official Chu came all the way from Eastern Qi to my Breezy Sea. I'm afraid it's not as simple as celebrating foster father's birthday, right? Foster father has had so many birthday parties, but why haven't I seen Official Chu come before? "
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
Previously, they were shocked by Chu Xiu's identity and did not think of this point.
The Central Plains and the overseas territories were mainly trade between them and not to take root in the overseas territories. Who would be so bored to come and present gifts to Huo Xingzun?
Not to mention the Central Plains, even the Windbreak Sea, which was close to the Breezy Sea, had never been here before.
Just now, Fu Longxiao said that he could invite the big shots and experts of the Windbreak Sea Region to celebrate Huo Xingzun's birthday. This was already a great honor for him.
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "One doesn't visit without a cause. I'm here this time because I have something to discuss with the Fifth Lord Huo.
I'm sure everyone has heard about the dispute between the Central Plains Warriors.
Eastern Qi has started a war, and the Central Plains Warriors are in a state of chaos.
This time, I'm here to seek the cooperation of the Eastern Sea and attack Eastern Qi from behind.
After staying on the island for so long, don't you want to try going ashore? "
Everyone present had different expressions. No one expected Chu Xiu to have such a grand plan in his trip to the Eastern Sea.
Most of the martial artists in the Eastern Sea knew about the news of Eastern Qi.
The martial artists in the Eastern Sea could ignore the Central Plains Warriors, but they couldn't ignore the trade that concerned them.
The war that Eastern Qi had started this time involved too many people. Everywhere was under martial law, and even the trade to the Eastern Sea had been delayed.
Some of the cultivation resources in the Central Plains had never been produced by the East Sea. They had to rely on trade between the two sides to obtain them. But now, they were very scarce.
In the past, Jiangshan Pavilion was in charge of this business. Now that Jiangshan Pavilion had gone to the Central Plains to establish a new country, the number of businessmen in Eastern Qi had decreased by a lot, which made them very anxious.
However, at this moment, Nalan Hai said coldly, "Official Chu, please go back. The warriors of the Eastern Sea have always been used to freedom. We do not wish to get involved in the turmoil of the Central Plains Warriors. Even if you personally come to ask for help, we will not agree."
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "You're wrong. I'm not here to ask for help. As I said before, I'm here to ask for cooperation."
Before Chu Xiu could say anything, Nalan Hai waved his hand and said, "We don't need cooperation either."
A cold glint flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes. It had been a long time since anyone had dared to interrupt him!
At this moment, Huo Xingzun waved his hand and said, "The Fourth Prince, he's a guest from afar. Let him finish what he wants to say."
When Nalan Hai heard that his godfather had already spoken, he didn't dare to say anything else.
However, Nalan Hai was a little puzzled. Why was his godfather treating Chu Xiu so kindly? It had to be known that his godfather had always been hostile to the martial artists of the Central Plains.
Huo Xingzun was the overlord of the Cool Breeze Sea, the invisible ruler. What he was most worried about was that someone would shake his authority. Such people were most likely to appear in the Central Plains. After all, the distance between the two places was not far.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Fifth Lord Huo, whether it's the Central Plains or overseas, we only seek one thing — benefits.
With all due respect, although the overseas territories are not weak, they are definitely not strong either.
Therefore, if the overseas territories dared to cause trouble in the Eastern Qi martial arts world, they would most likely suffer heavy casualties and be beaten back. They might even seal off trade. When that time comes, the overseas territories would be the ones to suffer.
"But now it's different. The Central Plains Warriors are in chaos. This matter was instigated by Eastern Qi. Eastern Qi's defenses in the entire East Sea are now empty. If you take this opportunity to occupy a few counties, or even control the coast of Eastern Qi, it won't be difficult.
Moreover, with the Northern Yan imperial court and all the forces of the Devil Path keeping them in check, I guarantee that Eastern Qi won't be able to find the strength to go back to support them in a short time. This matter is almost in the bag.
Everyone, attacking the outside is better than attacking the inside, right? Moreover, we won't be able to gain anything from the inside. "
When they heard Chu Xiu's words, most of the people present were tempted.
It should be said that some forces near the coast had tried to step into the Central Plains Warriors, but they had all met with tragic ends.
This was not only because of the forces of the martial arts world in the Central Plains, but also because of the Eastern Qi imperial court's strict defense.
After all, the overseas lands were all islands. They didn't have some resources, so they had to rely on the Central Plains to obtain them.
As for the Central Plains, some of the special products of the overseas lands were dispensable. It was easy to find something to replace them. Therefore, the overseas lands' desire for the Central Plains was extremely high.
Of course, this matter still depended on the Fifth Lord Huo's opinion.
A snake could not be without a head. If the overseas people charged forward like a mass of loose sand, even if Eastern Qi didn't have much power to defend the coast, they still wouldn't be able to break through.
Only when the forces of the entire overseas lands were linked together could they break through the Eastern Qi's defense.
And now, the person with the greatest power and prestige in the entire overseas lands was the Fifth Lord Huo.
At this time, Nalan Hai snorted coldly and said, "Chu Xiu, your words are better than your singing.
Do you really think no one knows about your situation in the Central Plains?
The forces of the East Sea attacked the border of Eastern Qi's coast and put pressure on Eastern Qi, but in the end, you were the one who benefited.
This is equivalent to us helping you share the burden, but you are here talking about cooperation. What a joke! "
Chu Xiu frowned.
This Nalan Hai had always been against him. Previously, Chu Xiu thought that he had unintentionally offended him, but now it seemed that this person was purely dark and suspicious, and would subconsciously doubt everyone.
Chu Xiu didn't find it strange that this kind of person had his legs chopped off by Kang Dongming.
Chu Xiu had come into contact with Kang Dongming before. He was a person who had nothing but a sword. With Kang Dongming's character, he would never take the initiative to conflict with anyone.
When Kang Dongming attacked Nalan Hai, it must be because this guy kept blocking Kang Dongming's way, which forced Kang Dongming to attack.
Even now, Chu Xiu couldn't help but want to attack and cripple his two arms.
Chu Xiu said lightly, "Island Master Nalan's words are wrong. I benefit, but don't tell me you don't benefit?
When doing something, don't look at how much others benefit. No matter how much others benefit, it is still others'. First, you have to look at whether you will suffer a loss or gain, isn't that right?
If you attack Eastern Qi, I will be the only one who benefits, but you will be the one who loses. Then, I will be using you.
But if we attack now, both of us will benefit. If this isn't cooperation, what is it? "
Nalan Hai still wanted to say something, but Chu Xiu said indifferently, "May I ask, is the ruler of Supreme Island the Fifth Lord Huo or you, Nalan Hai? It seems that I gave this gift to the wrong person. It should be given to you, Island Master Nalan, and not to the Fifth Lord Huo. "
Nalan Hai's expression suddenly changed. He just realized that he had indeed overstepped his boundaries just now.
The Fifth Lord Huo didn't say much. He was the only one talking. Even the disciples of the Huo family looked at him unkindly.
"Chu Xiu! Don't try to sow discord between my godfather and me! "
Chu Xiu spread out his hands and said, "The Fifth Lord Huo hasn't rejected it yet, and you're already rejecting it on his behalf. I'm not trying to sow discord. This is the truth."
Just as Nalan Hai was about to say something, the Fifth Lord Huo waved his hand and said, "Alright, The Fourth Prince, don't speak for now."
Nalan Hai retreated to the side with a gloomy face. The Fifth Lord Huo looked at Chu Xiu with a kind gaze.
"Does Chu really need the help of the East Sea?"
Chu Xiu didn't hide anything. He said directly, "If we fight head-on, my side might not lose, but we will suffer great losses.
If we join forces with the martial artists of the East Sea to attack Eastern Qi, Eastern Qi will definitely lose.
Therefore, if I don't need the martial artists of the East Sea to make a move, I wouldn't have come here personally. "
The Fifth Lord Huo nodded and said, "Alright, I agree to this matter!"
When he said this, not only were the others shocked, but even Chu Xiu was shocked.
He didn't expect the Fifth Lord Huo to agree so quickly.
However, at this time, the Fifth Lord Huo suddenly said, "However, I have another request. As long as you can agree to it, Chu, I will immediately gather my men and attack Eastern Qi."
"What request?"
Chu Xiu wasn't surprised by the Fifth Lord Huo's request.
If the Fifth Lord Huo had agreed so simply, Chu Xiu would have been surprised.
The Fifth Lord Huo looked at Chu Xiu, and there was an unconcealable look of surprise in his eyes. "Chu, you've come all the way from a humble background. You're definitely one of the most outstanding people in the world, and I am also very excited.
In the entire overseas region, I can be considered to have some fame and influence, and I'm much older than you, Chu.
Why don't we do this? Today, in front of everyone, I will accept you as my godson. From now on, we'll all be family, and there won't be any need to work together. When a family member is in trouble, how can I not help?
Moreover, you don't have to worry about being bound to the East Sea after you become I's godson. Although I is old, I'm still very open-minded.
If Qiu Tianya wants to pursue the pinnacle of swordsmanship, I won't stop him. If Zhao Yuanfeng wants to go back to the Central Plains to build his country, I won't stop him either.
After solving the problem of Eastern Qi, if Chu wants to go back to the Central Plains, I won't stop you either.
What do you think, Chu? "
The Fifth Lord Huo still had a kind smile on his face, as if he was waiting for Chu Xiu to bow down to him.
However, he didn't notice that the smile on Chu Xiu's face was gradually disappearing.
