Chu Xiu had noticed the subtle relationship between the Northern Yan Martial World and the Northern Yan Imperial Court when he was in Northern Yan.
They could work together when they were facing a common enemy, but what would happen after that? Even if they did not fall out with each other, there would still be some conflicts.
What the imperial court wanted was absolute control over their territories, while the forces of the martial world wanted absolute freedom.
For example, sects like the Divine Martial Sect of Southern Yan, Xiang Long wished that the Divine Martial Sect had the final say in the land of Southern Yan, and even the imperial court could not do anything about it.
Of course, the imperial court would never tolerate such a thing.
The Northern Yan Martial World was a little weaker, so they did not have the Dragon Riders Imperial Army, an armed force that belonged to the imperial court, like Eastern Qi.
However, as a mighty ruler, Xiang Long would not tolerate any provocation from the Northern Yan Martial World, even if they were not powerful enough.
Therefore, the Northern Yan Martial World could be seen garrisoned around the counties and prefectures of the Northern Yan Martial World, to prevent the martial sects of the Northern Yan Martial World from going too far.
However, it was also because of this that the Northern Yan Martial World had to reduce their investment in the borderlands. Of course, the three kingdoms were at a stage of steady development, so it was not possible for them to fight each other for the time being.
Xiang Long stared at Chu Xiu and said coldly, "Are you trying to say that you can help me deal with those sects of the martial world that do not obey me?
Chu Xiu, do you think I will make the same mistake twice?
When the Yan Kingdom was in danger, I worked with the martial world of the Yan Kingdom. Although we managed to defeat Eastern Qi, it caused the martial sects of the Yan Kingdom to be unable to get rid of them.
Now, if I work with you fiends, I might be able to suppress these martial sects of the Yan Kingdom. But, what if you take the opportunity to grow stronger? What should I do then?
Drive away the wolf from the front door, and let in the tiger from the back door. In the end, the Yan Kingdom will have to face a formidable enemy.
When I decided to work with the martial world of the Yan Kingdom, it was because things had indeed come to a critical juncture.
However, the Yan Kingdom has not reached that stage yet. Why should I join hands with you bunch of dangerous Diabolism villains? "
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty is wrong. It's safest for you to join hands with the Yinmo Clan because we don't have a stable stronghold.
Those martial arts sects have their roots in the Northern Yan. It will be very difficult for His Majesty to completely suppress them, because their foundations are all in the Northern Yan.
Your Majesty should know the situation of my Yinmo lineage. My body is like floating duckweed.
If His Majesty cooperates with us, we will be his blades. If the Northern Yan court gives us protection, we will kill for His Majesty. It's that simple.
If Your Majesty ever gets tired of using us, you can just throw us away. You can even push all the blame onto us. The imperial court will still be the imperial court. You don't have to worry about us. We will never threaten the interests of the Northern Yan. "
Xiang Chong stared at Chu Xiu, dumbfounded. How could there be such conditions? Chu Xiu had actually pointed out all of his weaknesses and weaknesses. Wasn't he putting himself in a perilous situation?
Xiang Long squinted at Chu Xiu. His face was expressionless, and he couldn't see anything wrong.
After a while, Xiang Long said, "You told me all this. Aren't you afraid that in the end, I will really abandon the Yinmo lineage and even kill you? You should know that once the cunning rabbit is dead, the hound will be cooked! "
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "To be honest, I am afraid, but the entire Yinmo lineage is not.
In the past, all the righteous sects failed to kill the Yinmo lineage. Although the Northern Yan court is strong, it's still not enough.
And to say something taboo, if His Majesty doesn't want to use us in the future, just say the word. The Yinmo lineage will have other places to go.
But if His Majesty wants to be ruthless, it will only make an enemy out of nothing.
In short, I came here to borrow the power of the Northern Yan court to overcome this crisis. At the same time, I am also here to hand over a knife to the Northern Yan court.
With the knife of the Yinmo lineage in hand, I will kill whoever His Majesty wants to kill in the future! "
Xiang Long didn't speak. After a long silence, he suddenly chuckled and said, "You Jianghu people always like to talk about hypocritical principles. Colluding with the Evil Cult is the scum of the Jianghu. I wonder what the court is doing with the Evil Cult?"
A smile also appeared on Chu Xiu's face. He knew it was a success.
"Can the matter of the court be called collusion? That's too unpleasant to hear. It's called enlistment. "
Xiang Long stood up and said, "Enlistment? Very well, I don't care if they are righteous or demonic if they can be of use to me!
Chu Xiu, I can help you block this crisis, but the Northern Yan court's strength is limited.
Although you represent the Yinmo lineage, I also know that not all of the Yinmo lineage's power will be on my side. So this time, the Northern Yan court will only help you within the limits of our power. We will not use our full strength, and it is impossible for us to use our full strength.
If you can live, then what you just said to me will be effective. If you die, then you can only blame your own bad luck. "
Chu Xiu cupped his hands and said, "Rest assured, Your Majesty. There are countless people in this world who want me dead, but I am still alive and well."
With that, Chu Xiu took his leave and left the palace.
"Thirteenth Brother, you may leave as well," Xiang Long said.
Xiang Chong nodded and quickly bowed before leaving the palace.
After Xiang Chong left, Xiang Long said, "Imperial Advisor, what do you think of this matter? Is it correct for me to cooperate with Chu Xiu and the Yinmo lineage? "
In a dark corner, an old man wearing a Taoist robe walked out.
The robe the old man wore was very strange. It was pitch-black, and the embroidery on the back was not the Yin Yang Tai Chi pattern commonly seen in Taoism. Instead, it was an evil Yin Yang Impermanence diagram.
The Black and White Impermanence were intertwined at an extremely evil angle, forming the shape of a Tai Chi. The more one looked at it, the more evil it seemed.
The old man in the Taoist robe had a goatee, and his eyebrows were high. He held a sword in his left hand and a horsetail whisk in his right. He stood behind Xiang Long and said in a low, hoarse voice, "I see that this child is rebellious and ambitious. He is a sign of hindrance to his master. If Your Majesty wants to use this person, please be careful. Moreover, the Yinmo lineage is not that simple. I have come into contact with them before. They are a group of madmen who want to revive the Kunlun Devil Cult. We must be very careful when cooperating with them. "
Xiang Long did not say anything. He just laughed and said, "Hindrance to his master? Imperial Advisor, you should know that there is no one under the heavens that I can't use!
That Yang Gongdu was a talented man, and his ambition was no less than Chu Xiu. But in the end, with just a word from me, he had to leave the Yan Kingdom with his tail between his legs!
If not for the fact that he had indeed contributed to Great Yan, and some of his meritorious deeds cannot be erased, do you think he could leave the Yan Kingdom alive? "
Upon hearing that, the old Taoist bowed his head even lower and quickly said, "You are right, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is the Lord of Destiny. Even if Chu Xiu is the Rebellious Bone Seven Murders, Your Majesty will still be able to capture him."
Xiang Long laughed in confusion. While walking to the back, he said, "Rest assured, Imperial Advisor. The reason why I'm cooperating with Chu Xiu and the Yinmo lineage is just to reduce the losses that Great Yan will suffer when suppressing those forces in the martial world. Chu Xiu is a member of the Yinmo lineage, and I've never been able to trust them. You, on the other hand, are my confidant. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The old Taoist bowed his head, but a strange gleam could be seen in his eyes.
After leaving the Northern Yan Imperial Palace, Chu Xiu immediately returned to the Guanzhong torture room.
At the moment, Wei Shuya had arrived at the Guanzhong torture room, and he had brought Zhao Chengping, Luo Sancong, and some other warriors who had followed Chu Xiu to carry out the mission of annihilation.
These people were very convinced by Chu Xiu, and they were also shocked when they learned Chu Xiu's identity.
This man was indeed extraordinary. It was not strange for a man to have two identities. In fact, many people from the Yinmo lineage were like this.
But, a man had pushed both identities to the first and second place on the Longhu List, which was a little shocking.
Moreover, it was not only Luo Sancong and the others who came, but also some warriors from the Phaseless Demon Sect that Mister Lu had brought with him.
After all, the Phaseless Demon Sect was not Wei Shuya's subordinates, and they could only be said to be on good terms with Wei Shuya.
Therefore, at this time, the Phaseless Demon Sect had sent Mister Lu and these warriors to give face to Wei Shuya and Chu Xiu. This was a favor that Chu Xiu had to remember.
After seeing Wei Shuya, Chu Xiu told Wei Shuya the conditions that he had discussed with the Northern Yan Emperor Xiang Long.
After listening, Wei Shuya looked at Chu Xiu with a faint smile and said, "You act first and report later?"
Chu Xiu said to Xiang Long that he could represent the Yinmo lineage, or at least the attitude of Wei Shuya's lineage. In the end, after getting Xiang Long's reply, Chu Xiu said this to Wei Shuya. What was this if not acting first and reporting later?
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Senior Wei, don't worry about those details. I just made a verbal promise with Xiang Long. If you don't agree, at worst, I won't need the support from the Northern Yan side. The deal will be invalid."
Wei Shuya looked at Luo Sancong and the others, sighed and said, "I'm old, and it doesn't matter where I stay. But these young people, either because of inheritance or because of coincidence, joined the Yinmo lineage and became my subordinates. I can't promote them, but I can't hold them back either. If they follow me, they will always hide in the dark and rarely make a move. If they stay for a long time, they will become useless. It's better to follow you to the Northern Yan and fight for a future. "
Luo Sancong and the others hurriedly bowed to Wei Shuya and said, "Thank you, Senior Wei!"
After they joined the Yinmo lineage, they rarely made a move. Because of the Yinmo lineage's rules, and because they were under Wei Shuya's command, there was not much for them to do.
For these warriors in their prime, it was not time for them to cultivate in seclusion all day.
Instead of hiding in the dark all day and cultivating with limited resources, it was better to follow Chu Xiu to fight in the outside world.
They thanked Wei Shuya. One was to thank Wei Shuya for protecting them all these years, and the other was to thank Wei Shuya for helping them.
