Among the three countries, Eastern Qi was the largest and the most prosperous.
As the capital city of Eastern Qi, Great Liang City was naturally the same. It was bustling with activity, and the city was filled with nobles and countless Jianghu experts. However, no one dared to cause trouble here.
As the capital city of Eastern Qi, Eastern Qi was the most heavily guarded place. There were countless experts from the military and the imperial palace. Anyone who dared to cause trouble here would have to be tired of living.
Chu Xiu wanted to find the second prince, Lv Longguang, but he could not just meet him on a whim. He first had to find someone he was familiar with, and that person was Fang Zhenqi, the commander of the Breaking Edge Battalion.
Every battalion of the Dragon Riders Imperial Army was actually an independent existence, responsible for all kinds of tasks. Even the target they were loyal to was different.
The Breaking Edge Battalion was not located outside the city, but in a mansion in the eastern part of Great Liang City.
The mansion seemed very low-key. It was just a seemingly ordinary black mansion, with the words "Breaking Edge Battalion" written in large golden letters. There was also the dragon insignia of the Dragon Riders Imperial Army.
However, on the street outside the Breaking Edge Battalion's mansion, there were almost no martial artists coming or going.
These martial artists were not idiots, and they knew what kind of place this was. This was the Dragon Riders Imperial Army that belonged to the royal family of Eastern Qi. If they accidentally provoked them, they would not even know how they died.
Chu Xiu knocked on the door, and two Dragon Riders Imperial Army wearing black light armor immediately surrounded him. They sized up Chu Xiu and asked in an unfriendly tone, "Who are you?"
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Please go and inform Sir Fang that Chu Xiu has come to visit. He will know who I am."
The two Dragon Riders Imperial Army looked at each other. One of them went in to make the report, while the other stayed outside to keep an eye on Chu Xiu.
Fortunately, Chu Xiu's strength was relatively strong, and he revealed the cultivation of the Five Qis Gathering in the Origin.
If it was anyone else, they would have been locked up and interrogated by the Dragon Riders Imperial Army.
The Imperial Dragonriders belonged to the imperial family, so if outsiders came looking for them, it would most likely not be a good thing.
After a while, Fang Zhenqi walked out. Seeing that it was Chu Xiu, he asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
During the case of Qiu Zhensheng at the Pegasus Ranch, Fang Zhenqi had indeed dealt with Chu Xiu a lot. If it were not for Chu Xiu, the Second Prince would not have set the Crown Prince up.
However, the cooperation between the two parties was only for mutual benefit. Chu Xiu was still a person from the Guanzhong torture room. Fang Zhenqi was a little surprised to see Chu Xiu again.
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "It's not convenient here. Let's talk inside."
Fang Zhenqi frowned, but he still invited Chu Xiu to a meeting hall and asked, "Can you tell me what's the matter now?"
"I want to see the Second Prince," Chu Xiu said in a low voice.
Fang Zhenqi frowned and was about to say something, but he heard Chu Xiu say, "Lord Fang, don't refuse, and don't ask me why I want to see the Second Prince. I can only say these words to the Second Prince. In short, it's good for the Second Prince, and there's no harm. Moreover, this is the Great Liang City of Eastern Qi. I dare to play tricks in other places, but I don't dare to be presumptuous here. In that case, what is Lord Fang afraid of? "
Fang Zhenqi felt that Chu Xiu's words made sense. Chu Xiu was only a cultivator at the Five Qis Unification stage. In the capital of Eastern Qi, even if he had any schemes, he wouldn't be able to carry them out. Therefore, Fang Zhenqi thought for a moment and brought Chu Xiu to the Second Prince, Lv Longguang.
Lv Longguang had been conferred the title of King Liang, and his fief was the richest county in Qi, Liang County. However, apart from sending his trusted subordinates to manage the fief, Lv Longguang rarely visited his own fief. He spent most of his time in Great Liang City or in the military. This made Crown Prince Lv Longji gnash his teeth in hatred and fear.
Lü Hau Chang had never forced Lv Longguang to go to his fief. This proved that in Lü Hau's mind, there was no difference between the two of them. Lv Longji, the Crown Prince, was merely a title.
Lv Longguang felt a little strange when he saw Chu Xiu again.
The last time he saw Chu Xiu, Lv Longguang's deepest impression of Chu Xiu was Chu Xiu's boldness and greed.
At that time, Chu Xiu was just an inspector of the Guanzhong torture room. He could be considered as a relatively outstanding cultivator among the younger generation, but he wasn't considered to be in the upper echelons of the Guanzhong torture room.
However, it was Chu Xiu who dared to negotiate with him, the Second Prince of Eastern Qi, and even extorted the Forget-Me Killing Fist from him. This courage left a very deep impression on Lv Longguang.
Seeing that Chu Xiu had come to him again, Lv Longguang couldn't help but ask, "Chu Xiu, why have you come to me this time? Could it be that you're prepared to rely on this King? "
To be honest, if Chu Xiu was really willing to rely on him, Lv Longguang would be very happy.
After all, Chu Xiu's strength and potential were there for all to see. As long as one wasn't blind, they could see it.
However, for Lv Longguang, compared to strength and potential, Chu Xiu's current reputation was more important.
He was a young hero ranked sixth on the Longhu List. If he could recruit Chu Xiu, he could directly push Chu Xiu to the public. Even the young hero ranked sixth on the Longhu List was willing to follow him. Wouldn't this make him look very virtuous?
Chu Xiu smiled and shook his head, "Your Highness must be joking. Hall Leader Guan has treated me well. How can I betray the Guanzhong torture room? Although I, Chu Xiu, am not a good person, I still know the word loyalty. "
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Lv Longguang's interest was greatly reduced. He leaned back on the chair and asked, "Then why did you come to see me this time? If you can't give me a proper explanation, then you're just making fun of me. You know the consequences. "
Chu Xiu lightly said, "Since I went through so much trouble to ask General Fang to bring me to see Your Highness, I naturally have something that can satisfy Your Highness."
"Oh? What is it? "
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "If I can help Your Highness attack the Crown Prince's reputation and weaken his strength, will Your Highness be satisfied?"
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Lv Longguang immediately sat up straight and frowned, "You want to help me deal with the Crown Prince? Then what do you want? "
Lv Longguang still remembered Chu Xiu's character of not getting up early without benefits. Last time, when Chu Xiu brought out the evidence, Lv Longguang had to pay the price of the Annihilating Heaven and Destroying Earth Annihilating Oblivion Killing Fist. Now, what did Chu Xiu want?
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't want anything. It's just that ever since I helped Your Highness last time, the Crown Prince bore a grudge against me. His subordinates have been causing me a lot of trouble.
I'm a very vengeful person. It's not my character to not return the favor after being slapped in the face. If someone wants to cause trouble for me, then I'll return the favor and let them know the price of causing trouble for me.
This matter has only happened recently. If Your Highness hasn't heard of it, you can ask others. "
Lv Longguang really didn't know what happened to the Luo family.
He was the Second Prince of Eastern Qi. Other than some major events in the martial world, he couldn't be bothered to care about them. Fighting for the throne and developing his own strength were the most important things to him.
But just because he didn't know, it didn't mean that others didn't know.
Lv Longguang asked an old eunuch with a pale face behind him, "Eunuch Li, what's going on?"
Eunuch Li immediately transmitted a message to Lv Longguang, telling him everything that had happened to the Luo family. He also emphasized the fact that Eunuch Chen and Li Yuan, the Crown Prince's subordinates, had attacked Chu Xiu.
Lv Longguang nodded and looked at Chu Xiu with a strange look in his eyes. He said, "If that's the case, how are you going to help me deal with the Crown Prince? You only have the strength of the Five Qis in the Origin Realm. I'd like to see if you can hurt the Crown Prince's foundation with your meager strength. "
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, you're wrong about one thing. I've said before that I'm here to help you deal with the Crown Prince. If I was alone, I could have easily left after taking my revenge. Why would I come here to look for Your Highness? It's because I don't have any power in Eastern Qi that I've come to look for Your Highness. I want to borrow Your Highness's strength to help you deal with the Crown Prince. "
Lv Longguang was stunned when he heard this, and then anger appeared in his eyes. He sneered and said, "Chu Xiu, are you here to make fun of me? I thought you had something on the Crown Prince or had a plan. I didn't expect you to come here empty-handed! You don't have anything, and you want to borrow my strength to deal with the Crown Prince? What right do you have? If that's the case, I might as well do it myself. Why should I lend my strength to you? "
Chu Xiu smiled, pointed to himself, and said word by word, "Because I'm Chu Xiu!
To be frank, Your Highness, you have powerful subordinates like General Fang and Eunuch Li, but you can't find a single one who really has the ability to set up a trap. Otherwise, Your Highness wouldn't have been in a stalemate with the Crown Prince for so long.
And I, Chu Xiu, was born in the wilderness, but in less than two years, I've gone from an inspector who just entered the Guanzhong Torture Room to a torture officer in charge of Guanxi.
When my boss was in charge of Guanxi, discipline was lax, and the forces of Jianghu were rampant, to the point that they didn't even care about the Guanzhong Torture Room.
But since I took over Guanxi, I, Chu Xiu, have been the only one who can speak!
The same power can play a different role in the hands of different people. So this time, Your Highness, you can take a gamble and bet on your confidence in me.
If Your Highness trusts me, then lend me some of your power. If Your Highness doesn't believe me, then I'll turn around and leave. I won't disturb Your Highness. I'll take revenge another day. It's all up to you, Your Highness. "
After Chu Xiu finished speaking, he looked at Lv Longguang without saying a word. To be honest, his words not only stunned Lv Longguang, but also Fang Zhenqi and Eunuch Li.
They had seen arrogant people, but they had never seen someone as arrogant as Chu Xiu. He was so full of himself.
But thinking about it carefully, Chu Xiu was telling the truth. This was his military record, and it was also the reason why he could stand in front of Lv Longguang and say these words.
