Chu Xiu disagreed with Xiang Long's intention to station troops in the Wilderness of the Far North. In his opinion, Xiang Long was obviously arrogant. Seeing that nothing had happened to the Martial Suppression Hall after stirring up a bloody storm in the Northwest Jianghu, he thought that he could really suppress the entire Northern Yan Jianghu.
In fact, the reason why Chu Xiu could do this was not because of his ability, but because of the Moon Worshipping Cult.
It was because of the rise of the Moon Worshipping Cult that the attention of Chu Xiu's biggest obstacle, the Great Light Temple, was attracted.
And because of the absence of the monks from the Great Light Temple, Chu Xiu could do whatever he wanted in the Northern Yan. Otherwise, unless Wei Shuya and the others took action, no one could go against those bald donkeys.
Now, who was Xiang Long preparing to station troops in the Northern Yan? Who was he provoking?
A place like the Wilderness of the Far North had no value at all. Although it was vast, it was sparsely populated. There were only a few sects like the Floating Snow City in the Far North. There were also some local aboriginal tribes that could only rely on hunting for a living. There was no threat at all.
Other than that, the Wilderness of the Far North only had the Evil Sect and the Great Light Temple. The Evil Sect was nothing to worry about. Was Xiang Long challenging the Great Light Temple?
Mei Qinglian said, "Are you going to go?"
Chu Xiu stood up and said, "Since it is His Majesty's order, then I will go. As for whether the negotiation can be successful, it depends on the Floating Snow City in the Far North."
As long as Xiang Long did not want Chu Xiu to do something like courting death by going against the Great Light Temple, Chu Xiu could satisfy him.
Moreover, Chu Xiu had a lot of grievances with the Floating Snow City in the Far North. If there was a chance, even if he could not destroy the Floating Snow City in the Far North, Chu Xiu planned to find a chance to annoy them. Chu Xiu had always been narrow-minded.
Ever since Chu Xiu stepped into Jianghu, it was not that he had never suffered losses. However, most of the times he suffered losses were due to his own strength. If he was not as strong as others, then there was nothing much to say.
However, the last time he joined forces with the Drifting Snow City in the Extreme North to deal with the Morgue Village, they were tricked by Bai Hantian, a thick-browed, big-eyed, and boorish fellow. Both he and Nie Renlong suffered heavy injuries and almost took Chu Xiu's life.
Later on, when the Northern Yan Devil Slaying Alliance was established, although the Northern Driftsnow City didn't participate, in truth, they did want to participate. However, they were stopped by Pang Hu. If not, there would definitely be people from the Northern Driftsnow City among those who ambushed Chu Xiu.
Thinking of Pang Hu, Chu Xiu suddenly had a thought.
At present, Pang Hu's position in the Northern Yan Martial Arts World was actually very awkward.
Previously, he was the enemy of the imperial court and the righteous martial arts world. Now, although the hatred between him and the imperial court had been resolved and the 36 Northern Bandits had become history, it did not mean that the Qilian Stockade could continue to walk openly in the Northern Yan Land.
Moreover, with Pang Hu's character, he and the other sects were even more intolerable. Therefore, at this time, if Chu Xiu opened his mouth to recruit him, he believed that Pang Hu would agree. After all, he owed Chu Xiu a favor.
Of course, Chu Xiu's so-called recruitment was not to let Pang Hu become his subordinate.
With the current strength and qualifications of Chu Xiu, if he opened his mouth to recruit him, even if Pang Hu owed him a favor, he would still be asking to be humiliated.
Therefore, he recruited Pang Hu only for cooperation. If Pang Hu also joined the Zhenwu Hall, Pang Hu could obtain the status of a Zhenwu Hall member and be considered as a member of the Northern Yan Imperial Court. Meanwhile, Chu Xiu could also gain an ally in the Northern Yan Land.
With this thought in mind, Chu Xiu was not in a hurry to go to the Northern Floating Snow City. Instead, he first brought Mei Qinglian to look for Pang Hu.
During this period of time, the Qilian Stockade had not changed much from the last time. It was just that some of the branch stockades had been completely abolished, leaving only the main stockade in the dense forest of Liaodong to recuperate.
Seeing that Chu Xiu had arrived, the people of the Qilian Stockade immediately welcomed Chu Xiu in.
After all, they had fought side by side. The Qilian Stockade was very familiar with Chu Xiu and had a good impression of him.
Pang Hu laughed as he walked out and said, "Young Master Lin … Ah no, I should call you Brother Chu. During this period of time, your actions in the Northern Yan have been very impressive. Even I am envious of you."
Originally, Pang Hu had a very forthright appearance when he walked out. However, after seeing Mei Qinglian, Pang Hu became bashful. He foolishly laughed twice, scratched his head and said, "Qing … Saintess Mei, why are you here?"
Mei Qinglian raised her eyebrows and said, "Why? Can't I come to your Qilian Stockade? It's not that I want to criticize you, but why are you getting worse and worse? In the past, when the Northern Thirty-Six Bandits were still around, you were considered a local tyrant. In the end, you were forced into such a state by the Ju Yi Manor. "
Pang Hu was slightly unconvinced. In the past, when the Northern Thirty-Six Bandits were still around, they had joined forces. Now, he was the only one left. It was not easy for him to achieve this.
However, when facing Mei Qinglian, Pang Hu seemed to be a head shorter. He only held back his red face and did not refute.
Intuition told Chu Xiu that these two people must have had a past. However, Chu Xiu did not ask much. He just went straight to the point and said, "This time, I came to find Leader Pang to ask you a question.
Now that you know that I have joined forces with the Northern Yan Emperor Xiang Long to establish the Zhenwu Hall, I would like to ask Leader Pang if you are willing to join my Zhenwu Hall.
After joining the Zhenwu Hall, Leader Pang will only have the identity of the Zhenwu Hall in name. It can be considered as wearing the skin of the imperial court, so it will be more convenient for you to do things. You and I are acquaintances, so I will not waste too much effort. In the future, if the Zhenwu Hall needs Leader Pang's help, then we will discuss it. There is no subordinate relationship. "
When it came to business, Pang Hu did not have the bashful attitude from before. He only frowned and said, "Brother Chu, you helped me a lot last time. Saintess Mei was also there. If it was just me, I would have agreed to it. But now, it involves the entire Qilian Stockade. Even though I am the chief of the stockade, I do not want to decide the future of my brothers. So, Brother Chu, please forgive me. I need to discuss with them before making a decision. "
Chu Xiu nodded. Pang Hu's decision was very normal.
As a leader, if Pang Hu made a decision for his subordinates so easily, then it would be called reckless and irresponsible.
After being the leader for so many years, Pang Hu might seem rough, but he was not really a brainless person.
After waiting for Pang Hu to leave, Mei Qinglian said, "Do you think that guy will agree? I know that the relationship between the Thirty-six Bandits of the Northern Land was very good in the past. It can even be said that the Thirty-six Bandits of the Northern Land were destroyed in the hands of the Northern Yan imperial court. In the end, you are letting him join the Zhenwu Hall. Although it is only wearing the skin of the imperial court, it is still very difficult for the Qilian Village to accept. "
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "On the contrary, I feel that they will accept it very easily. The Thirty-six Bandits of the Northern Land are already dead, but the Qilian Village still exists. Joining the Zhenwu Hall is not bad for them. It is not worth it to block the path of the living for a bunch of dead people. "
Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour later, Pang Hu had already returned. He gave Chu Xiu a reply that the Qilian Village was willing to join the Zhenwu Hall.
Although there was indeed a small number of people who were not willing to join the Zhenwu Hall, they were not even willing to become the imperial court's dogs on the surface, but most of them did not object.
Most of the warriors in the Qilian Village were martial artists in their prime. Due to the current situation of the Qilian Village, they could only endure in this dense forest of Liaodong. One or two years was fine, but any longer and they would really not be able to endure.
"Leader Pang, you have made a very wise choice."
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "By the way, do you have time now, Leader Pang? Saintess Mei and I are going to the Northern Fluttering Snow City. "
Pang Hu said in surprise, "Why are you going there? Are you going to make a move on the Northern Fluttering Snow City? "
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "If we are really going to make a move, it will not be just the two of us.
Xiang Long gave us a mission to go to the Northern Fluttering Snow City. It is just in time for the birthday of the old ancestor of the Fluttering Snow City.
Leader Pang, if you want to go, just take it as joining in the fun. I am afraid there will not be a fight this time. "
Pang Hu nodded and said, "Oh, so the old turtle of the Bai family is celebrating his birthday again. Alright, I happen to have nothing to do, so I will go with you."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Old turtle? The old ancestor of the Northern Fluttering Snow City has a bad reputation in the Northern Yan Martial World? "
Although Chu Xiu was also considered a Northern Yan person, he actually did not stay in the Northern Yan for a long time.
Pang Hu was a real Jianghu hero from the Northern Yan land. He actually knew some of the secrets of the Northern Yan Jianghu better than Chu Xiu.
Pang Hu sneered and said, "That old turtle was not a good person when he was young. When he was the City Lord of the Fluttering Snow City, it was when the Fluttering Snow City was at its weakest. Even in the entire Fluttering Snow City, he was the only martial arts master.
Therefore, he fawned on the Great Light Temple and even worshipped a Buddha statue in his own ancestral hall.
Relying on his endurance and the protection of the Great Light Temple, this old turtle also stepped into the True Fire Spirit Refinement Realm. The Fluttering Snow City also produced a few martial arts masters, but he swept away his previous humble attitude. While alienating the Great Light Temple, he eliminated dissidents in the Northern Land and suppressed other forces.
Now you can see that in the Northern Wilderness, there are only three forces left. Other than the Great Light Temple and the Evil Pole Sect, there is also the Fluttering Snow City in the Northern Wilderness.
That bunch of monks from the Great Light Temple really wouldn't do something like killing the innocent, and the Extreme Evil Sect also kept a very low profile during that period of time. The number of people killed by the Extreme North's Floating Snow City in the extreme north was even more than the Extreme Evil Sect! "
After listening to Pang Hu's words, Chu Xiu felt that the old ancestor of the Fluttering Snow City who was afraid of death was not so bad after all. Instead, he had the potential to be an ambitious person.
When he was weak, he kept a low profile and endured. When he was strong, he would use ruthless and decisive means to suppress dissidents. There was nothing wrong with this. If it were Chu Xiu, he would do the same.
It was just that the other party's means of struggling to survive was something that Chu Xiu could not agree with.
