The Crown Prince, Lv Longji, was actually the most unlucky one to be hit by this unexpected disaster.
Because from the beginning, he did not know what was going on. Suddenly, his arrangements in the southwest were destroyed by Chu Xiu. Who could he go to reason with?
Find Chu Xiu for revenge? Right now, Chu Xiu was with the Second Prince, and he was under house arrest. If he wanted to use the power of the imperial court to teach Chu Xiu a lesson, once things got out of hand, he would probably be the one to suffer.
And now, even if Lv Longji wanted to teach his subordinates a lesson, he could not do so.
Li Yuan was already dead, and he could not really dig him up and whip his corpse again.
Eunuch Chen was Lv Longji's close confidant, and it could even be said that he would never betray him. He also controlled all kinds of forces under Lv Longji, so Lv Longji could not blame him too much.
So Lv Longji could only say unhappily, "All right, let's forget about this matter for now. But next time, if you dare to do these things on your own, then you can go and retire!"
Eunuch Chen hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, this old servant will not dare."
The Crown Prince's side was gloomy, but the Second Prince was very proud.
Almost all the martial artists in the southwest had joined the Second Prince's side.
Of course, they had no choice but to join the Second Prince. For example, Zheng Tiantu and the others had already chosen to be traitors. If they did not join the Second Prince, then who would help them block the Crown Prince's revenge?
As for the other powers that chose to remain neutral, they followed the trend and sided with the Second Prince.
So after returning to Great Liang City, the Second Prince personally called Chu Xiu over and said sincerely, "Chu Xiu, are you really not willing to join this Prince's side?
You have seen this Prince's strength. My elder brother was only born a little earlier than me. In terms of strength and ability, how can he compare to me?
If you join this Prince's side, this Prince will definitely not treat you unfairly.
Eunuch Li is this Prince's trusted eunuch. In the future, if this Prince ascends to the throne, he will be the Chief Minister of the Imperial Household.
And if you, Chu Xiu, join this Prince, then this Prince dares to grant you the position of Great General! You can choose any one of them! "
This time, Lv Longguang really saw Chu Xiu's strength and ability.
He actually had quite a number of experts under him. There were those who gave him advice and suggestions, and there were also those who specialized in killing people. The only thing he lacked was someone like Chu Xiu, who was not bad at scheming and scheming. He was also very strong and could take charge of an area by himself.
Therefore, this time, Lv Longguang was sincerely trying to recruit Chu Xiu. He even made a promise to become a marquis.
However, Chu Xiu still shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. I can't let Hallmaster Guan down. The Guanzhong Torture Room didn't let me down, so I naturally can't let the Guanzhong Torture Room down."
Although Chu Xiu's words were dignified, he was laughing coldly in his heart. In this lifetime, he would never join any prince of Eastern Qi.
Not to mention that Chu Xiu was not the kind of person who would willingly submit to others, the main reason was that he knew how long the Emperor of Eastern Qi, Lü Hau Chang, could live.
The only advantage this Eastern Qi Emperor had over him was that he had lived for a long time. He had almost outlived his two sons to death.
If Chu Xiu were to join Lv Longguang's side, it would be a long time before he could be conferred the title of Marquis and Prime Minister. Unless he could assassinate Lv Haochang and send him to the Western Paradise earlier, it would probably be impossible.
Lv Longguang frowned and said, "I know you want to repay the Guanzhong Torture Room's kindness. But a good bird chooses a good tree to fly. The Guanzhong Torture Room is not a good choice.
Don't be fooled by the Guanzhong Torture Room's glory now. That's because the Guanzhong Torture Room is in a period of peace when the three countries are not at war. Therefore, the Guanzhong Torture Room thrives on the trade between the three countries.
But if one day the three countries go to war, not to mention three countries, even if two of them go to war together, the Guanzhong Torture Room won't be able to withstand it. "
After all, Lv Longguang was the second prince of Eastern Qi. He wouldn't spend all his time thinking about the infighting with the Crown Prince. He had an understanding of the world's situation.
Naturally, the Guanzhong Torture Room was the same. Some people in Jianghu had long seen that the times made heroes, and it was also the time for heroes to build momentum.
The Guanzhong Torture Room happened to have talents like Chu Kuangge and Guan Siyu, and it happened to be during the period of armistice between the three countries. That was why the Guanzhong Torture Room had developed to its current scale. But if the next leader of the Guanzhong Torture Room was incompetent and couldn't maintain this balance, or if something unexpected happened between the three countries, the position of the Guanzhong Torture Room would be in danger.
Chu Xiu still shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I may have to disappoint you."
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Lv Longguang sighed in disappointment, but he didn't force it.
He wasn't stupid enough to forcefully recruit Chu Xiu as his subordinate.
Lv Longguang waved his hand and said, "Since you don't want to join me, I won't force you. Well, I have one more thing to ask for your help. Go to Donghai County."
Chu Xiu originally wanted to refuse, saying that he had to go back to the Guanzhong Torture Room.
However, when he heard Lv Longguang mention the East Sea County, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. In the original plot, the place where Li Yuan obtained the inheritance of opportunity was in the East Sea County. This made Chu Xiu connect the dots.
"Oh, what is it? Please tell me, Your Highness. "
Lv Longguang said, "Here's the thing. The holy monk of Donghai, Master Tam Yuan, is coming to the Central Plains today to preach. In fact, Master Tam Yuan is old and his life is coming to an end, so he is going to return to the Central Plains to pass away. Because Master Tam Yuan is so famous, when Master Tam Yuan comes ashore, the royal family of Eastern Qi and many people in Jianghu will come out to welcome him. "
Speaking of this, Lv Longguang looked a little depressed and said, "Father will definitely not come out, so I have to send someone with enough weight. My eldest brother is the Crown Prince, so he is naturally the first choice.
This kind of thing is basically not difficult for him. Although Father didn't ask me to go, he didn't say that I can't send someone.
This King's subordinates are not easy to use, so I'll have to trouble you to help this King bring the gift to Master Tan Yuan. In any case, this King only needs to reveal my name in front of Master Tan Yuan and the many people of the Jianghu. "
Chu Xiu listened quietly, but there was a strange look in his eyes.
This was because the inheritance that Li Yuan obtained in the original plot belonged to this Master Tam Yuan.
Speaking of this Master Tam Yuan was really famous, but it was not because of his strength, but because of what he did. Of course, this Master Tam Yuan was also very strong. At his peak, he was even an expert in the True Fire Spiritual Cultivation Realm.
This Master Tam Yuan was not from the Great Light Temple, nor was he from the Subodhi Zen Temple. He was just a monk from a small temple.
When he cultivated to the Three Flower Realm, he was already in his fifties. However, since then, Master Tam Yuan had decided to go east alone to spread Buddhism.
There were many islands in the East Sea. These islands were large and small. Some were as big as a state, and some were even as big as a county. Therefore, there were a lot of people. However, because of the harsh environment, there were often natural disasters such as storms and tsunamis, so the warriors on these islands in the East Sea were somewhat violent.
It was under such an environment that Master Tam Yuan went east alone, spreading Buddhism on every island and dispelling hostility and hatred. During this period, he experienced countless dangers and great horrors between life and death. His martial arts cultivation advanced rapidly, and he quickly climbed to the Martial Dao Master Realm, becoming a famous master in the East Sea.
If that was all, Master Tam Yuan's fame would not have reached the Central Plains. What really made Master Tam Yuan famous was a few decades ago. A warrior asked Master Tam Yuan to save the people on his island when a small island was engulfed by a tsunami. In the end, Master Tam Yuan actually made a move and fought against the power of heaven and earth alone. He even stepped into the True Fire Spiritual Cultivation Realm under the pressure.
However, even the True Fire Spiritual Cultivation Realm was no match for the endless power of heaven and earth. In the end, although Master Tam Yuan managed to save the small island, his own foundation was also damaged. Not only was he severely injured, but he even fell back to the Martial Dao Master Realm. It was impossible for him to make any progress in this life. Therefore, although he was a powerhouse in the True Fire Spiritual Cultivation Realm, he only stayed in this realm for a day.
As this matter spread to the Central Plains, Master Tam Yuan was recognized by the entire Pugilistic World as a true Buddhist master. Even the Great Light Temple and Subodhi Monastery admired him very much.
It was already very difficult for him to be willing to go to a barren land like the East Sea to spread Buddhism alone. However, Master Tam Yuan was willing to give up the powerful cultivation of the True Fire Spiritual Cultivation Realm to save the people on that island. Such a person deserved to be called a Holy Monk, a Holy Monk who truly had mercy in his heart.
What martial art practitioners pursued in their entire lives was ultimate power. Even if the monks from the Great Light Temple always talked about being merciful, Chu Xiu could guarantee that none of the monks from the Great Light Temple would be willing to give up their cultivation to save the lives of an island.
Chu Xiu never had a good impression of monks, but Master Tam Yuan could be said to be a true Buddhist master. There was no stain on his personal morality.
According to the Second Prince, Master Tam Yuan came to the Central Plains because he was nearing the end of his lifespan. He was ready to return to his roots and pass away in the Central Plains. However, only Chu Xiu knew that Master Tam Yuan probably did not just want to return to his roots. He also wanted to find a successor.
After all, Master Tam Yuan was also a warrior. He definitely had his own obsession when it came to martial arts inheritance.
When he was in the East Sea, he only cared about spreading Buddhism and dispelling the hostility and hatred of the East Sea warriors. How could he have the time to teach disciples?
Therefore, he came to the Central Plains this time because he wanted to find a reliable successor for himself before he passed away.
However, Chu Xiu still did not understand why Master Tam Yuan would find Li Yuan to be his successor in the original plot. At least, Chu Xiu could not see any similarities between Li Yuan and Master Tam Yuan.
However, this was no longer important. Li Yuan was already dead. If Chu Xiu wanted to seize Li Yuan's creation inheritance, he only needed to do one thing, and that was to lean towards Li Yuan as much as possible.
As for whether this would work or not, it would depend on luck.
