As a big family in Guanxi, of course, the Wei family would not admit defeat.
It was easy to give Chu Xiu some money and spend it like other aristocratic families, but who would make up for the loss of face?
For a big family like the Wei family, face was more important than anything else.
Wei Jiuduan rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on. Chu Xiu was extremely powerful, and the Wei and Zhang families did not want to give in. What could he do?
In the end, Wei Jiuduan could only say, "I'll give you all the prefectures and prefectures in the Guanxi branch. Your Wei family and Zhang family can move their businesses there. No matter how long Chu Xiu's hand stretches, he won't be able to reach mine."
As the penal officer, the state capitals around the Guanxi branch were under Wei Jiuduan's direct jurisdiction. The filial piety from these state capitals also belonged to Wei Jiuduan. Now that Wei Jiuduan had given these businesses to the Wei and Zhang families, the Wei and Zhang families should naturally take out a part of their filial piety to Wei Jiuduan. Therefore, Wei Jiuduan did not suffer a loss.
However, at this point, someone would suffer a loss. The real losers were the martial arts forces in the state capitals under Wei Jiuduan's command.
The Wei Family and the Zhang Family, these two hegemonic clans, had suddenly intervened in the affairs of these states and prefectures. How could the small local powers have any meat to eat? It would be difficult for them to even drink soup.
Of course, the Wei Clan and the Zhang Clan wouldn't care about this. Since Wei Jiuduan had spoken, the two of them cupped their hands and said, "Since that's the case, we will give Lord Wei face and stop making a fuss."
After that, the two of them also left.
Although the matter was temporarily over, the storm in Guanxi had not yet subsided.
After this incident, whether it was the inspectors in Guanxi or the local martial arts forces, they all saw how powerful Chu Xiu was. Even Wei Jiuduan could not do anything to this subordinate. The Wei and Zhang families could not do anything to this Chu Xiu.
Once they figured this out, the martial arts forces of other states and prefectures were completely convinced. If they did not want all their businesses to be annexed, they could only obediently give their filial piety to Chu Xiu.
As for Jiang Taoran and the other Patrol Envoys, they understood many things through this matter. Wei Jiuduan was probably really old. It was time for their attitude to change!
At this moment, the Wei Family's Patriarch was listening to Wei Moqu's report with a grave expression.
A long while later, the Wei ancestor sighed: "These are troubled times!"
Wei Moqu asked doubtfully, "Hasn't everything been resolved? Our Wei Family did not retreat in the end, nor did we suffer any losses. Is there anything else? "
Ancestor Wei sighed. "You have to look further ahead. The problem at hand has been solved, but what about the future?
According to your description, Chu Xiu's character should be very overbearing. He has the look of a hawk and a wolf. Obviously, he is the kind of person with wild ambitions who is unwilling to live in peace.
He is only a Patrol Envoys now. He only has some reputation among the Patrol Envoys, but he dared to stir up such a big matter. He even went against Wei Jiuduan. What will he be like when he becomes the Penal Officer?
Wei Jiuduan is already old, and the true elites of the Guanzhong Torture Room are in the Narcotics Department. Those people are good at killing people, but they are not good at managing places.
Therefore, the probability of Chu Xiu becoming the Penal Officer is very high.
Now that our Wei Family has already formed enmity with Chu Xiu, and thinking about Chu Xiu's character, if he really becomes the Penal Officer, what trouble will he stir up? Will our Wei Family have a good ending? "
Wei Moqu hesitated. "Then, Patriarch, what should our Wei Family do now?"
The Wei Family's Patriarch said in a deep voice, "Wait! Chu Xiu has a great influence now, and even Wei Jiuduan can't touch him, let alone our Wei Family.
When that halo disappears, Wei Jiuduan won't let him off, even if our Wei Family doesn't find trouble with him.
At that time, we just need to add fuel to the fire and watch from the side. There will naturally be people who will deal with Chu Xiu. "
Wei Moqu nodded. In fact, he wasn't too worried.
Their Wei Family had experienced so many ups and downs in Guanzhong, and their history was even longer than the Guanzhong Torture Room. They had seen enemies stronger than Chu Xiu, but in the end, hadn't their Wei Family still tortured them to death? One Chu Xiu was nothing.
Now that everyone had restrained themselves and didn't want to make a move, Chu Xiu saw that there was nothing for his subordinates to do, so he only gave some instructions and went into seclusion.
Back then, in front of the Water Cloud Monastery, Daoist Xuan Cheng had explained the Five Qis Unifications, and Chu Xiu agreed with his Daoist views.
The heart belonged to the fire element, so one had to subdue the Heart Monkey and focus the mind.
Treat the five viscera as five barriers and cultivate meticulously, reaching the pinnacle of each of them. This way, the five elements would merge into one and circulate endlessly, reaching the true pinnacle of the Five Qis Unifications.
It could be said that this kind of cultivation method was a bit slow, but it was the best way to build a solid foundation. If Chu Xiu followed these detailed steps to polish the Five Qis Unifications realm, then when he really reached the Five Qis Unifications realm, he would be able to compete with other warriors who had already reached the Five Qis Unifications realm.
The Daoist techniques were upright and gentle. Although the cultivation seemed slow, it was the most important to build a solid foundation.
The first technique that Chu Xiu obtained was the Xiantian technique of the Daoist sect. Therefore, the traces of his cultivation also had a strong Daoist imprint.
For the current Chu Xiu, he could be considered to be a dual cultivator of Daoism, Buddhism, and Demonic Dao. Among them, the Daoist techniques helped him to build his foundation, while the Demonic Dao techniques brought great power to Chu Xiu.
As for the Buddhist techniques, they were both offensive and defensive. They could be adjusted in the middle, allowing Chu Xiu's cultivation to be more harmonious.
After three months of seclusion, Chu Xiu's cultivation level actually didn't increase much. However, his understanding of the Five Qis Unifications and the accumulation of the power of the five viscera in his body had increased a lot.
This was a painstaking process, and it also required enlightenment. Although it was a little taxing in the early stages, it would be able to soar in the later stages.
After three months, Chu Xiu was ready to come out of seclusion.
Most of the people in the Patrol Hall were active in other prefectures. Only Du Guangzhong and the Ghost Hand King were better at handling some internal affairs. Therefore, they had been staying in the Patrol Hall.
Seeing that Chu Xiu had come out of seclusion, the Ghost Hand King asked, "Did you gain anything from your seclusion?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "It's only been three months. How could there be anything? By the way, did anything happen in Guanxi during this time? "
Du Guangzhong was slightly speechless when he heard this. His Lord was really domineering.
If the other Patrol Envoys came out of seclusion, the first thing they would ask would be whether anything had happened in the prefecture under their jurisdiction. However, their master was different. He directly asked if anything had happened in the Guanxi region. He really put himself in the same position as Wei Jiuduan.
Of course, the current Chu Xiu was also qualified.
In the whole of Guanxi, except for the prefectures directly managed by Wei Jiuduan, the commercial lifelines of the other places were controlled by Chu Xiu.
Moreover, all the martial arts forces in the whole of Guanxi, except for the two major families, the Wei Family and the Zhang Family, had chosen to side with Chu Xiu.
There were also Patrols like Jiang Taoran. They feared Chu Xiu even more than Wei Jiuduan. It could be said that Chu Xiu's power was not inferior to Wei Jiuduan, the real Penal Officer, except for the fact that he did not have the position of Penal Officer.
The Ghost Hand King said, "It's been very quiet during this time. The martial arts forces in Guanxi are also very well-behaved. Even the Wei Clan and the Zhang Clan have already laid down their banners and stopped making any movements. "
Chu Xiu nodded. He had also guessed that this would be the result. After all, he had the upper hand now. The Wei Family and the Zhang Family were not idiots. Of course, they would not find trouble with him at this time.
At this time, Du Guangzhong suddenly said, "But a few days ago, there was some interesting news from the headquarters. There was a murder case in Eastern Qi. The family of Qiu Zhensheng, the owner of the Pegasus Ranch, was killed. This matter even alarmed the Eastern Qi royal family. So now the royal family of Eastern Qi has sent someone to the headquarters, asking them to send someone to investigate this matter. It is said that they have offered a very high price. Now the headquarters is thinking about who to send for the investigation."
After hearing this, Chu Xiu was stunned. The owner of the Pegasus Ranch, Qiu Zhensheng, was dead? There was a deviation from the original plot here!
The Pegasus Ranch was the largest ranch in Eastern Qi. The horses domesticated there were specially supplied to the Eastern Qi military.
As the owner of the Pegasus Ranch, Qiu Zhensheng was not a member of the Eastern Qi imperial court. He was a man of Jianghu. The horses produced by the Pegasus Ranch were initially sold to various Jianghu forces for transportation.
But later, because of the excellent quality of the horses, the Pegasus Ranch was targeted by the Eastern Qi imperial court. And Qiu Zhensheng was quite sensible. He directly offered the Pegasus Ranch to the Eastern Qi imperial court and became a member of the Eastern Qi imperial court in one leap.
The Eastern Qi imperial court also returned the favor. Every profession had its own specialization. The Pegasus Ranch was still managed by Qiu Zhensheng. Moreover, the Eastern Qi imperial court also gave a lot of money and resources to Qiu Zhensheng to expand the Pegasus Ranch. But the horses produced were mainly supplied to the Eastern Qi military.
Originally, no matter how famous a horse breeder was, he should not be very popular. However, in the original version of the plot, Qiu Zhensheng accidentally obtained an extremely powerful ancient technique from an island in the East China Sea. It could predict the secrets of heaven and see through the changes of heaven, earth, and man. It was extremely powerful.
Qiu Zhensheng cultivated in seclusion for three years to comprehend the divine skill and stepped into the realm of martial arts grandmaster. With only one move, he severely injured a martial arts grandmaster from the Diabolism. From then on, Qiu Zhensheng became completely famous in Jianghu. Even the Eastern Qi imperial court gave him more preferential treatment and allowed him to continue to stay in the Pegasus Ranch.
Such a famous big shot in the original plot was now dead. This plot deviation made Chu Xiu a little confused.
