The soul control technique didn't completely turn a person into a puppet, but it left an indelible mark at the bottom of a person's heart. On the other hand, that person still had normal thoughts. As long as Chu Xiu wasn't around, he would look the same as before.
Chu Xiu threw a small bottle to Chen Jinting, and Chen Jinting immediately put it away respectfully.
"What is this?" Mei Qinglian asked in astonishment.
"Gut worm!"
This bottle of gut worm was the same one that Yan Tingting used to harm him at the Shenwu Sect.
The one that Chu Xiu swallowed could no longer be used. This bottle of gut worm was found on Yan Tingting when Tang Ya and the rest were cleaning up the corpses.
Although the conditions to use this thing were extremely harsh, it would be very useful once it was used well.
When Mei Qinglian saw this, she seemed to know what Chu Xiu was going to do. She couldn't help but be shocked. Chu Xiu's craziness was even greater than before he became a martial arts grandmaster!
At this moment, someone outside reported that Ren Qianli had arrived.
Chu Xiu smiled and asked Tang Ya and the rest to take Chen Jinting away before letting Ren Qianli in.
Ren Qianli walked in angrily and shouted, "Chu Xiu! What do you mean by this? I didn't agree to trade the Great Compassion Poem with you, so you kidnapped my junior. Are you going to fight to the death with me? "
Ren Qianli had just rejected Chu Xiu a few days ago, and now Chen Jinting was in trouble. Even an idiot would know that there must be a relationship between them.
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Ren Qianli, you have to be reasonable when you speak. Go out and find out what exactly did that junior brother of yours do to be captured by me. Not only did he humiliate me in public, he even injured the son of Shen Feiying from the Giant Spirit Gang. Don't tell me you don't know about this? "
Looking at Ren Qianli, Chu Xiu revealed a trace of coldness on his face and said in a deep voice, "Chen Jinting said that the Giant Spirit Gang is now my dog. What he said is right, but when you beat a dog, you have to look at its master!
This is Yanjing City, the Yanjing City where my Zhen Wu Hall is located. However, he insulted me and beat my dog in my territory!
Ren Qianli, does that Junior Brother of yours think that I have a good temper or that I'm blind and deaf? "
When Ren Qianli heard this, he immediately fell silent and no longer had his overbearing manner from before.
With so many people watching, it was impossible for him not to know anything about it.
To be honest, he was infuriated.
Chen Jinting usually looked relatively calm. Why did he do such an impulsive thing this time?
This was Yan Jing City, yet he had said all this under Chu Xiu's eyes. If this wasn't courting death, then what was?
In the past, Chen Jinting often came to Yan Jing City. After all, there was his Senior Brother, who was the Great General of the State's Five Armies, as his backer.
However, the problem was that Ren Qianli didn't have the final say in this huge Yan Jing City.
At the thought of this, Ren Qianli couldn't help but soften his tone and said, "Chu Xiu, I know you want the Great Compassion Poem. This matter is also Chen Jinting's fault. Let him go, and I'll bring you the Great Compassion Poem."
Chu Xiu said faintly, "Hand over the money and I'll hand over the goods. If you want him back, give me the Great Compassion Poem first. "
Ren Qianli gritted his teeth and said, "The Great Compassion Poem is in the hands of Master. Do you have to lure him out?"
Actually, Ren Qianli didn't want to tell Fang Jinwu about this matter.
Fang Jinwu's temper wasn't that reasonable. Chen Jinting got into trouble in his territory. If Fang Jinwu knew about this matter, he would definitely say that Ren Qianli didn't take good care of his Junior Brother and so on.
Chu Xiu sneered and said, "When a disciple gets into trouble, shouldn't the Master come and get him? Am I wrong to say that? "
Ren Qianli looked deeply at Chu Xiu and said, "Chu Xiu, are you really going to blow this matter up? Can't you give me some face? "
Chu Xiu said faintly, "I'm in the right in this matter. Why should I be afraid of blowing this matter up? As for face, General Ren, you didn't give me any face at Feifeng Restaurant a few days ago! "
"Good, good, good! Chu Xiu, you did well! "
Ren Qianli's face turned extremely gloomy. He flicked his sleeves, turned around, and left.
However, Chu Xiu had a fearless look on his face. He wasn't afraid of Fang Jinwu coming. He was more afraid that Fang Jinwu wouldn't come.
If Fang Jinwu didn't come, how could he continue acting?
Ren Qianli walked out of the Zhenwu Hall with a black face. He was immediately seen by a group of people and caused an uproar.
Yan Jing City wasn't big, and the news of Chu Xiu capturing Chen Jinting couldn't be hidden.
Chen Jinting was just a small character, but his master had a powerful background.
Therefore, everyone was watching to see how Chu Xiu would handle this matter.
Finally, Ren Qianli came. Everyone thought that Chu Xiu would definitely give Ren Qianli some face and release Chen Jinting after Ren Qianli paid a price. However, who would have thought that Ren Qianli wouldn't be able to get Chen Jinting back?
Since Ren Qianli had failed, it was obvious who would step up next.
Over the past few days, Chu Xiu's side did not stop either. Several waves of people came over because of this matter.
The first to arrive was actually Xiang Wu.
After entering the door, Chu Xiu didn't serve tea for Xiang Wu. Instead, he asked someone to bring him a plate of bananas. He knew that Xiang Wu liked bananas.
Xiang Wu held a banana but didn't eat it. He looked at Chu Xiu with a strange look and said, "Brother Chu, aren't you being too ruthless this time? It's just a Sorrowful Poem. Do you really want to fight to the death with Fang Jinwu's lineage? "
Chu Xiu said faintly, "It's not that I want to fight to the death with him, but Chen Jinting has gone too far. He dared to insult me in Yan Jing City and even beat my people. What does this mean?"
Xiang Wu nodded. To be honest, if he encountered such a thing, he wouldn't be able to tolerate it either.
Although Xiang Wu usually didn't look dignified and even a little unruly, in fact, only the West-Hill army had seen this general's angry look. That was truly terrifying.
"Marquis, you didn't specially come here to plead on Chen Jinting's behalf, right?" Chu Xiu asked.
Xiang Wu waved his hand and said, "I have nothing better to do than to plead on his behalf. My boss asked me to come."
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes. He knew who Xiang Wu was talking about. There was only one person that Xiang Wu could call his boss, and that was the number one person in the Northern Yan Army, the General of the Eastern Mountain Army, and an expert in the True Fire Spirit Refinement State, "Kuang Tu" Beigong Baili.
This person had a great reputation in the Northern Yan Army, but in the eyes of Eastern Qi and the West Chu Imperial Court, this person was as terrifying as a demon.
Beigong Baili was called "Kuang Tu", not "Kuang Tu".
This nickname came from the fact that when Beigong Baili was leading the army, he was bloodthirsty. He never took any captives, and once he was defeated, he would kill them all.
Therefore, when fighting against Beigong Baili, the enemy would immediately flee if they were at a disadvantage. Because once they lost, only death awaited them.
This person's murderous nature was not ordinary, to the extent that even Xiang Long couldn't handle it.
Therefore, after the war between the Northern Yan Army and Eastern Qi ended, although Beigong Baili was still leading the army, he rarely left Yanjing City. Unless there was a big move, the Northern Yan Imperial Court wouldn't release such a killing machine, and only let him guard Yanjing City.
"What orders does General Beigong have?"
Xiang Wu took a bite of the banana and said, "Boss doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, but his current mission is to guard Yanjing City, and the Zhenwu Hall is also in Yanjing City. You've seen the horror of the True Fire Spirit Refinement State, so Boss only hopes that you don't fight in Yanjing City. Otherwise, if things get out of hand, he will have to intervene. "
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "If that's the case, then don't worry, General Beigong. I'm not arrogant enough to fight with an expert of the True Fire Spirit Refinement State. Of course, the premise is that Fang Jinwu doesn't force us."
Xiang Wu nodded and said, "It's no big deal. Boss just asked me to inform you, as long as you're confident."
After saying that, Xiang Wu suddenly looked at the bananas on his table and said, "I say, you don't like eating this thing, so I'll take it all away. Don't waste it."
Chu Xiu held his head and waved his hand, indicating that Xiang Wu could do as he pleased.
Those who could reach a high position were usually very persistent and unwavering.
And Xiang Wu's obsession was eating bananas?
After Xiang Wu left, another person came to Chu Xiu's side. It was a eunuch from the imperial palace.
The old eunuch wore a green robe and his hair was neatly combed. He always had a formal smile on his face. At first glance, he looked like a fake person, but it actually gave people a chilling feeling.
"I'm Zhang Ge. I work in the imperial palace, in charge of the bastards who serve His Majesty."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "So it's Director Zhang from the imperial palace. My apologies for not recognizing you."
The old eunuch in front of him might sound polite, but he was actually a martial arts master. He was also the director of the imperial palace, in charge of all the eunuchs in the imperial palace.
However, Chu Xiu had heard that there seemed to be a powerful eunuch in the imperial palace who might have reached the True Fire Spirit Refinement State. He had served several generations of Northern Yan emperors. Although he didn't care about other matters, he was the most senior.
The expression on Zhang Ge's face did not change. He said, "I'm here on His Majesty's order. His Majesty would like to ask Official Chu, is the grudge between you and Fang Jinwu really irresolvable? "
Chu Xiu said lightly, "It's not a grudge between me and him. He just wants to make things difficult for me. Chen Jinting insulted me as the imperial court's dog. I'm already the imperial court's dog. Where does he think the imperial court is? This is also an insult to the imperial court. I can't tolerate it. "
Zhang Ge nodded his head and said, "Since that's the case, then as long as Daren Chu grasps propriety, everything will be fine. After all, Fang Jinwu is an expert at the True Fire Spirit Refinement Realm, and this is still Yan Jing City. His Majesty doesn't want to make this matter bigger and cause more trouble."
After saying that, Zhang Ge left.
