Xiang Long was very direct. It seemed that he had reached the limit of his tolerance for some of the Northern Yan Martial World's actions.
Chu Xiu glanced at Taoist Wuyang. He didn't feel anything wrong.
Xiang Long couldn't trust Chu Xiu completely on such a big matter. The Northern Yan court would definitely find someone to keep him in check. Since Taoist Wuyang was Xiang Long's confidant, it was normal for him to be in charge of these things.
Therefore, Chu Xiu just said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Since I made a promise in the past, I will definitely fulfill it. However, I still want to ask Your Majesty, since Your Majesty is going to let me suppress the martial arts of Northern Yan Kingdom, I wonder what kind of identity and power Your Majesty can give me? Otherwise, even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice.
Xiang Long said in a low voice, "I have already thought about this. I plan to set up a new department in the Northern Yan, called the Martial Suppression Hall. You, Chu Xiu, will be the Governor, in charge of external expeditions. Taoist Wuyang will be the Chief Supervisor, in charge of internal trials and recruiting rogue cultivators who are willing to work for the Northern Yan.
In terms of rank, one will deal with internal affairs, while the other will deal with external affairs. Your authority is different, but your rank is the same. You are on the same level as the Generals of the Five Armies.
As for other aspects, I will not give you anything in terms of direct power. If I had more power, I wouldn't need to look for you. I could just send an army to suppress them.
So I can only promise you that the Northern Yan court will do its best to cooperate with your actions in the Northern Yan Martial World. However, if you make a big deal out of it, you will have to bear the consequences.
But don't worry, I am not a petty person. After successfully suppressing the Northern Yan Martial World, your Yinshan Sect will become the national religion of the Northern Yan. It can be worshiped for generations.
Chu Xiu, your Yinmo Clan can also establish their own sect in the Northern Yan Land. No one will be blind enough to come and kill them. "
The Generals of the Northern Yan Five Armies were basically at the same level as Xiang Wu. In terms of status, they were not low.
Of course, status was just status, and power was power.
Not only did Xiang Wu command the Five Armies of the Kingdom, but he also had a lot of say in the Northern Yan Imperial Court. As for Chu Xiu and Taoist Wuyang, they were both from the Jianghu. No matter how much Xiang Long trusted them, they were still outsiders.
Therefore, other than their own subordinates, the other subordinates of the Northern Yan Dynasty would not listen to their orders.
As for Xiang Long's promise, Chu Xiu did not take it to heart.
Wei Shuya had once commented on Xiang Long. This great ruler of the Three Kingdoms was actually a harsh and merciless person. His words should be taken with a grain of salt and not taken seriously.
Daoist Wuyang bowed towards Xiang Long and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Chu Xiu also cupped his hands and said, "Rest assured, Your Majesty. The promise I made to Your Majesty in the past will not change."
Xiang Long waved his hand and said, "Since this is the case, I will leave this matter to you. The matters of the Jianghu will naturally be settled by the people of the Jianghu. I will not ask too much. Remember, I only want results! I have already built the headquarters of the Zhenwu Hall. It is in Yan Jing City. You can open the headquarters at any time. As for the specifics, you can discuss it among yourselves. Both of you are smart people. I believe you should know how to cooperate. "
After he finished speaking, Xiang Long left the side hall with the help of an old eunuch. Taoist Wuyang walked over and cupped his hands at Chu Xiu. A strange smile appeared on his face and he said, "From now on, I will be working with Official Chu. I hope that Official Chu will give me some pointers."
Chu Xiu said lightly, "That's easy. I wonder if Taoist Wuyang has any suggestions for the opening of the headquarters?"
Taoist Wuyang said, "Official Chu has just arrived in the capital. Why don't you settle down for a night? Such an important matter naturally needs to be explained in detail. Tomorrow, we will go to the Zhenwu Hall to discuss in detail. What do you think, Official Chu?"
"Alright." Chu Xiu nodded.
After Taoist Wuyang left, Chu Xiu also left the palace with Mei Qinglian.
"You know that Taoist Wuyang?" After leaving the range of the palace, Chu Xiu suddenly asked.
He could feel that Mei Qinglian's emotions seemed to be a little off after hearing the words Taoist Wuyang.
Mei Qinglian shook her head and said, "I don't know this guy, but I have heard of the Shadow Mountain Sect. They were once part of my Yinmo Sect. To be precise, they were part of my Sacred Cult in the past."
Chu Xiu said in surprise, "They are also part of the orthodox Kunlun Devil Cult?"
Mei Qinglian said, "They can't be considered orthodox. The Shadow Mountain Sect has its own inheritance.
Actually, at the beginning, the Shadow Mountain Sect belonged to the Dao Sect. However, they were good at all kinds of evil spells and ghost refining techniques.
The Dao Sect advocated nature, while the Shadow Mountain Sect's philosophy was that life and death were the main path. Therefore, the disciples of the Shadow Mountain Sect either studied how to live long or studied the dead, which was why they were rejected by the Dao Sect.
At that time, the power of the Holy Church was at its peak, and it dominated the Jianghu. Since the Shadow Mountain Sect was rejected by the Orthodox Martial World and the Dao Sect, it naturally joined the Holy Church.
However, the Shadow Mountain Sect seemed to have done something that made Patriarch Dugu very angry, so they were expelled from the Sacred Cult.
However, the Shadow Mountain Sect's leader was quite capable. He was actually able to take a blow from Patriarch Dugu and not die. Otherwise, the Shadow Mountain Sect would not have been expelled, but directly annihilated.
The Shadow Mountain Sect offended both the orthodox and demonic sects, and from then on, disappeared from the martial world.
You know what happened after that. The Shadow Mountain Sect did not appear in the war between the orthodox and demonic sects. They did not appear for hundreds of years, so I thought that they were completely extinct. I didn't expect that they still had a successor. "
Chu Xiu rubbed his chin and said, "If that's the case, doesn't that mean that they are our enemies?"
Mei Qinglian spread her hands and said, "It's a grudge from hundreds of years ago. Now, there aren't many people in the Yinmo Clan who remember the Shadow Mountain Sect. We can't even be considered enemies. Let's see how the people of the Shadow Mountain Sect see us. However, the Shadow Mountain Sect's actions are treacherous. It's never wrong to be careful. "
Chu Xiu nodded and remembered this matter. However, he was not too worried about the Shadow Mountain Sect and this Taoist Wuyang.
To be a little arrogant, he, Chu Xiu, had even blocked the attacks of many orthodox sects, not to mention an evil sect that did not dare to appear for hundreds of years.
The next morning, Chu Xiu, Mei Qinglian, and the others came to Yan Jing City. Xiang Long specially built the Zhenwu Hall for them.
Chu Xiu had been to the two new and old capital cities of Eastern Qi, Great Liang City and Nanliang City. They were both very majestic.
Although Chu Xiu had been to Yan Jing City before, he did not take a good look.
The last time he came to Yan Jing City, Chu Xiu was to ask for help from the Northern Yan court. What he lacked the most was time. It was a race against time. How could he have the time to go sightseeing?
This time, Chu Xiu had the time to look around. However, he was slightly disappointed.
Northern Yan's background was not as good as Eastern Qi. Yan Jing City was built in a square shape and very orderly. However, whether it was the area or the atmosphere in the city, it was not as grand as Eastern Qi's Great Liang City. It was also not as prosperous as Nanliang City.
Tang Ya, who was standing behind Chu Xiu, smiled and said, "Sir, are you disappointed in Yan Jing City? When you go to West Chu's capital, Jiang Yue City, I think you will be even more disappointed. That place is not as prosperous as an ordinary big city in Eastern Qi. "
Chu Xiu asked, "Have you stayed in West Chu for a long time?"
Tang Ya's eyes had a trace of reminiscence. He nodded and said, "Not too much. However, I am from Sichuan. I have been to Jiang Yue City quite a bit. However, that was a long time ago."
Everyone chatted along the way and arrived at the Zhenwu Hall.
It seemed that Xiang Long had endured the Northern Yan's martial arts forces for a long time. The name Zhenwu Hall was enough to explain everything. Zhenwu Hall suppressed the Northern Yan martial arts world.
The entire Zhenwu Hall was also extremely grand. It was built with black walls and red tiles, giving people a gloomy and ferocious feeling.
The stone lions placed at the entrance of the Zhenwu Hall were not ordinary stone lions. Instead, they were two black tigers carved with incomparable intelligence. They looked abnormally ferocious.
Walking into the Zhenwu Hall, Taoist Wuyang was already waiting there.
Taoist Wuyang's subordinates were all pale and gloomy Taoist priests.
It was unknown whether it was because of their cultivation methods, but this group of people seemed to have not seen the sun for a long time. The death aura on their bodies was very strong.
When Taoist Wuyang saw Chu Xiu coming, the corner of his mouth twitched. He revealed a strange smile and said, "Official Chu is here? Then let's discuss the opening time of the Zhenwu Hall. "
Chu Xiu sat opposite Taoist Wuyang. He waved his hand and said, "Of course, the sooner the better. But before the opening, send invitations to all the Northern Yan martial arts sects and invite them to come and watch the ceremony."
Taoist Wuyang frowned and said, "Why invite them? Do you want us to tell them that the Zhenwu Hall was established to deal with you? "
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Of course it is to establish our prestige. Whether they come or not is their business. Whether we invite them or not is our business."
Taoist Wuyang said in a hoarse voice, "Official Chu, His Majesty asked us to establish the Zhenwu Hall in preparation to suppress the Northern Yan martial arts world. It is not for you to show off your power. If things go wrong, who will be responsible?"
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Show off my power? Taoist, are you questioning my ability? From the Yinmo lineage to the entire Guanzhong torture room, when have I, Chu Xiu, done anything wrong? On the contrary, taoist, do you have any achievements in the martial arts world? "
Chu Xiu's battle achievements were displayed on the Excellence List. Countless people had died at Chu Xiu's hands through plots and schemes, open and covert struggles. He was indeed qualified to say such words.
On the contrary, although Taoist Wuyang had the title of national master, and his strength should not be considered weak in the Real Pellet State, he was really not as famous as Chu Xiu.
At this moment, a middle-aged taoist behind Taoist Wuyang said sarcastically, "Everyone knows how to boast. If things go wrong, our Yin Mountain Sect will also have to bear the responsibility."
As soon as his voice fell, Chu Xiu's eyes showed a touch of coldness, and his fingers slammed on the table.
Right at this moment, Tang Ya, who was standing behind Chu Xiu, suddenly made his move. A transparent and slender flying dagger had left his hand at some point, and in almost an instant, it had already arrived in front of the middle-aged Taoist!
