When faced with the same problem, everyone's choice was different.
Chu Xiu firmly believed that interests were the foundation of everything. Holding each other's weaknesses was far more reliable than so-called loyalty and promises.
For example, the Nine Branch Hall that Chu Xiu had secretly established was like this. Everything was maintained for mutual interests, and the nature of the Nine Branch Hall was equivalent to holding each other's weaknesses.
Previously, when Chu Xiu had dealt with Yang Ling, he had actually used a similar method. At that time, Yang Ling had decisively chosen to compromise, leaving behind a weakness, and had chosen to be loyal to Chu Xiu.
But now, Chu Xiaode was different. He would rather be killed than to be Chu Xiu's lackey in his next life and be controlled by Chu Xiu. His personality was much more unyielding than Yang Ling's.
Looking at Chu Xiu, Chu Xiu frowned slightly. Even he had not expected Chu Xiaode to choose to refuse. But then, Chu Xiu felt a little relieved. Chu Xiaode's reaction was so intense mostly because of his identity. He was a foreigner from the Western Regions, so he was extremely sensitive to inferiority.
His foster father, Chu Simo, was a slave from the Western Regions. So even though he had become an Torture Officer, he had been criticized and secretly mocked in the Guanzhong Torture Room. Because of this, Chu Xiaode had been humiliated and discriminated against.
In his opinion, if Chu Xiu really wanted to treat him like a slave, then he might as well fight to the death with Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Who told you that I'm going to control you after I have something on you? I have no intention of treating you as a slave.
My ambition is much bigger than you think. I'm not satisfied with the position of Patrol, and I'm not even satisfied with the position of Torture Officer!
In the Guanzhong Torture Room, you and your foster father were both foreigners and discriminated against. Are you willing to be like that for the rest of your life?
This pugilistic world has never been measured by bloodline or birth, but by the fists and swords in one's hands.
I got hold of your weakness for my own peace of mind, and also for yours. But what I can give you is definitely more than you can imagine. "
Chu Xiaode was a little stunned. He didn't expect Chu Xiu to say such a thing to him.
Right at this time, Chu Xiu suddenly threw a Nine Dragon Coin to him, but it was missing a corner, and there was a blood-red blade mark with demonic Qi on it.
"During the God Weapon Conference, I teamed up with Mo Tianlin of Shangyang's Mo Clan, Luo Fei-hung of Wu Jun's Luo Clan, and Xie Xiao Lou of Heaven Alliance to form the Nine Branch Hall. We didn't become sworn brothers out of loyalty, but out of mutual benefits. With this Nine Dragon Coin that represents me, you will also be a member of the Nine Branch Division. As long as you are willing to pay the price in the future, Mo Tianlin and the others will help you at crucial times. Is this gift big enough? "
Chu Xiaode held the Nine Dragon Coin, and a trace of shock appeared in his eyes.
Be it Mo Tianlin or Xie Xiao Lou, they were both in the top twenty of the Longhu Roll. Each of them was an elite disciple from a large family, and some were even the strongest of the younger generation in their respective factions. Even Chu Xiu was the most outstanding person in the Guanzhong Torture Room.
There was no need to mention how terrifying the faction formed by these people was. Any one of them would have a shocking influence.
But now, he could actually use certain benefits to exchange for their help. This was something that Chu Xiaode didn't even dare to think about in the past.
After all, with his strength, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't even be able to touch Mo Tianlin and the others.
Holding the Nine Dragon Coin, Chu Xiaode asked hesitantly, "Is what you said true?"
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Why would I lie to you? You can take this Nine Dragon Coin and go to the Shangyang County to find Mo Tianlin of the Mo Family. Ask him to help me investigate Qiu Dongmao. "
Chu Xiaode asked doubtfully, "Why investigate Qiu Dongmao?"
"That kid is a bit dishonest. I suspect that the poison in the bodies of the Qiu Family members has something to do with him." Chu Xiu said in a low voice.
Mister Lu had already said that he came to kill. Qiu Zhensheng's death had nothing to do with the cultivation method he obtained. It was completely the result of him choosing sides too early and Chu Xiu bringing about the butterfly effect.
Since that was the case, the cultivation method must still be in the Qiu Family. But now that the Qiu Family members were dead and only Qiu Dongmao was alive, who else would Chu Xiu investigate if not him?
Chu Xiaode's face showed a trace of struggle, but he still silently put the Nine Dragon Coin in Chu Xiu's hand into his bosom.
If he did not agree, he would die. If he agreed, he would live. Most importantly, he would live better than he was now. There was no need to say what Chu Xiaode should choose.
In the Guanzhong torture room, Chu Xiaode did not even have a close friend among the warriors of the same generation.
Just like Li Tianhao, he had looked down on Chu Xiaode with a look of mockery and ridicule.
As for people like Cheng Zhouhai and Zhong Ping, although they did not look down on Chu Xiaode, they still did not want to have anything to do with him.
If he joined Chu Xiu's so-called Nine Branch Hall, he would be able to get support from Chu Xiu in the Guanzhong torture room. Outside the Guanzhong torture room, he would also be able to get support from more people. An exchange of benefits was always more reliable than anything else.
Seeing Chu Xiaode's action, the corner of Chu Xiu's mouth curled into a smile.
Just like what he said to Chu Xiu before, he was very ambitious.
Roping in Chu Xiaode was nothing. Among the younger generation of the Guanzhong torture room, Chu Xiaode's strength was not considered outstanding.
However, Chu Xiu's real target was Chu Simo, who was supporting Chu Xiaode.
Chu Simo and Chu Xiaode had a very close relationship. They were almost no different from biological sons. It was far from the relationship of a disciple and a subordinate.
As long as Chu Xiu roped in Chu Xiaode, Chu Simo would almost definitely stand on his side.
After making his decision, Chu Xiaode let Chu Xiu imprint the Sacred Fiery Seal on his arm.
After reading the plot of his previous life, Chu Xiu naturally knew what the Kunlun Devil Cult's Sacred Fiery Seal looked like.
Now that the real Kunlun Devil Cult had not recovered, Chu Xiu did not mind using the Kunlun Devil Cult's banner first.
After imprinting the Sacred Fiery Seal on Chu Xiaode, Chu Xiaode also knew that he would probably be tied to Chu Xiu's chariot for the rest of his life.
Therefore, he immediately changed his identity and asked Chu Xiu, "How are you going to deal with Jiang Wenyuan's matter? After all, the one who killed him is a member of the Phaseless Demon Sect. You can't possibly betray your own people in exchange for evidence. "
Chu Xiu said lightly, "Jiang Wenyuan has already gone crazy. We don't need evidence to deal with him.
In the past, no matter how much trouble Jiang Wenyuan caused, the Eastern Qi Imperial Family only treated his actions as small trouble and did not take it to heart.
Even if Jiang Wenyuan had recruited a martial arts grandmaster, the Eastern Qi Kingdom would not have been afraid, let alone the fact that the Eastern Qi Kingdom had no lack of martial arts grandmasters.
But now, he has dug his own grave. He even dared to intervene in the struggle between the Eastern Qi Imperial Family. This was already a big taboo. It would be strange if the Eastern Qi Imperial Family did not kill him.
This time, the Guanzhong Torture Room is only here to complete the mission. As long as the Eastern Qi Imperial Family is satisfied with this result, our mission is considered completed. I don't need evidence that he killed Qiu Zhensheng. I only need evidence that he colluded with the Crown Prince and tried to provoke the internal strife of the Eastern Qi Imperial Family! "
In Chu Xiu's view, he had completed the mission. As for the person who completed the mission, it fell on the General Fang Zhenqi of the Breaking Edge Battalion.
After Mr. Lu returned to the Dragon Gatherer Pavilion, Jiang Wenyuan asked, "Has Chu Xiu been dealt with?"
Mr. Lu shook his head and said, "It's easy to deal with Chu Xiu, but that Wang Jin has been following Chu Xiu around. Your Highness, you also know that Wang Jin is an expert from the Imperial Palace. Although she is a eunuch, she is the Emperor's confidant and is not easy to deal with. If I make a mistake and expose myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to make a move again. "
Jiang Wenyuan scolded in a low voice, "This damn eunuch is really a hindrance!"
Jiang Wenyuan never had a good impression of eunuchs. After the Lu Imperial Family ousted the Jiang Imperial Family, the eunuchs in the Imperial Palace were the first to change sides and directly surrender to the other party.
From then on, Jiang Wenyuan knew that these dead eunuchs who had lost their roots were not reliable at all.
Jiang Wenyuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, since that's the case, then find a chance to make a move."
Mr. Lu nodded and walked down calmly. However, at this moment, the communication jade slip on his waist lit up. Looking at the contents, Mr. Lu couldn't help but reveal a mysterious look.
Jiang Wenyuan subconsciously asked, "Who is it?"
Mr. Lu said nonchalantly, "It's a fellow disciple of my Phaseless Demon Sect."
Jiang Wenyuan casually waved his hand and didn't care.
He was only an ally with the Phaseless Demon Sect, not a master-servant relationship. He didn't want to know some of the inside stories of the Phaseless Demon Sect, and the Phaseless Demon Sect probably wouldn't tell him.
Walking down the Dragon Gatherer Pavilion, Mr. Lu's eyebrows twitched. He immediately began to order the disciples of the Phaseless Demon Sect to leave the Dragon Gatherer Pavilion and the Prince of An Le's Palace silently.
The message just now was sent by Chu Xiu. He said that the Phaseless Demon Sect wanted evidence of Jiang Wenyuan working with the crown prince, and that he was already prepared to make a move on Jiang Wenyuan. If he succeeded, the Phaseless Demon Sect would also be able to take advantage of the situation.
Mr. Lu was very satisfied with Chu Xiu's attitude. Although in Mr. Lu's eyes, they were all on the same side, helping for free and sharing benefits were two different concepts.
Now that Mister Lu had helped Chu Xiu obtain Jiang Wenyuan's evidence, Chu Xiu would also be able to give Mister Lu a certain amount of benefits. This would be considered fair, and it would also make Mister Lu feel that this direct descendant of the Kunlun Demon Sect really knew how to conduct himself.
Currently, Mr. Lu's status in the Prince of An Le's Palace was that of a guest, and an extremely important one at that. It was very easy for him to get some clues as evidence.
After getting the thing, Mr. Lu secretly gave it to Chu Xiu, while Chu Xiu left Cheng Zhouhai and the others and went to Qiu Zhensheng's manor alone to meet Fang Zhenqi.
