Taoist Wuyang was inexplicably brought to a restaurant by Chu Xiu. Facing Chu Xiu alone, Taoist Wuyang was rather nervous.
Actually, this time, Taoist Wuyang had come to mock Chu Xiu.
Previously in the Suppression Martial Hall, Taoist Wuyang had been suppressed by Chu Xiu to the extreme.
In name, he was the general director of the Suppression Martial Hall, but in reality, he could not interfere with the authority of the Suppression Martial Hall at all.
In the Jianghu, whenever the Suppression Martial Hall was mentioned, the first person that came to mind was Chu Xiu, and not Taoist Wuyang, who had an extremely low presence.
Taoist Wuyang also knew why Xiang Long had sought out Chu Xiu this time, so he was very happy in his heart.
You, Chu Xiu, are high-profile and arrogant. You used to be very awe-inspiring, but look at you now. You've become the bird that sticks out, haven't you?
But who would have thought that Chu Xiu would not be angry, and instead bring him here? Taoist Wuyang was also a little uneasy. This Chu Xiu could not possibly want to kill him, could he?
Previously, there were many eyes in the palace, but now it was quiet here. This was the best time to strike.
But just because he had mocked Chu Xiu, he wanted to kill him. This Chu Xiu should not be that crazy, right?
But according to Chu Xiu's usual style of doing things, he seemed to be such a crazy person.
Taoist Wuyang's imagination was running wild when Chu Xiu suddenly said, "Taoist Wuyang, do you think that His Majesty sending me to fight the Temple of Great Light is a very funny thing?"
Daoist Wuyang was startled by Chu Xiu's sudden words. His body trembled violently, and he almost fled.
But sensing that Chu Xiu did not have any killing intent, Taoist Wuyang laughed awkwardly and said, "It's not funny. Official Chu, please do not mind my words just now."
Chu Xiu glanced at Daoist Wuyang curiously, not knowing why he had such a huge reaction.
He did not know that his ferocity had reached such a level. Without even saying a word, Daoist Wuyang's imagination had already made him seem like he was about to kill someone.
Chu Xiu said lightly, "Daoist Priest Five Disasters, I know that you have a problem with me. However, you should know very well where this problem comes from.
My promise to Xiang Long to establish the Zhenwu Hall was just a deal. Your cooperation with the Northern Yan Imperial Court is also a deal.
Xiang Long can set up another department for you and me at the same time when he establishes the Suppression Martial Hall. Not only will there be no conflict, but both of us can cooperate sincerely. We can also maximize our strength, right? "
Daoist Wuyang did not speak. He was not an idiot. He naturally knew about these things.
However, knowing was one thing, but it did not mean that he could let it go.
He naturally did not dare to resent Xiang Long, so he could only challenge Chu Xiu. Of course, he could only use some small tricks in the dark. He did not have the guts to directly clash with Chu Xiu.
Looking at Daoist Wuyang, Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said word by word, "Daoist Wuyang, no matter what enmity your Shadow Mountain Sect had with the Kunlun Devil Cult in the past, you must remember that you and I are people of the pugilistic world, not people of the imperial court. The pugilistic world and the imperial court are always opposing existences. Xiang Long may have used us, but he has never trusted us! "
Chu Xiu's words caused Daoist Wuyang's heart to tremble violently.
Chu Xiu was speaking the truth. He could also see that Xiang Long had never trusted him.
Although he had been by Xiang Long's side longer than Chu Xiu, to Xiang Long, the two were the same.
Xiang Long did not trust Chu Xiu, and similarly did not trust Daoist Wuyang.
After a moment of silence, Daoist Wuyang said, "Official Chu, so what do you mean now?"
Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said, "Daoist Wuyang, without the lips, the teeth will be cold.
Today, Xiang Long was able to force me to go against the Temple of Great Light. This is enough to show Xiang Long's attitude towards us people of the pugilistic world. We are nothing more than his lackeys.
Once the cunning hare is dead, the lackey will be cooked. Xiang Long still has a use for us now, and he will do this, let alone in the future when he has no use for us.
Today, I am the unlucky one. Bringing Daoist Wuyang with me, do you dare say that you will never have a turn? "
Daoist Wuyang's expression was somewhat uncertain.
In truth, when he first heard the news, Daoist Wuyang's first reaction was indeed to gloat at Chu Xiu's misfortune.
But after Chu Xiu explained everything clearly, Daoist Wuyang was no longer in the mood to gloat over his misfortune.
Emperors were fickle, and a mighty ruler like Xiang Long was even colder by nature.
Chu Xiu had been the Viceroy of the Subduing Martial Hall for a long time, and he had helped Xiang Long settle many things. It could be said that Xiang Long had profited greatly from the deal with Chu Xiu.
But now, he still had to fall out with him.
After a moment of silence, Daoist Wuyang asked, "Then Official Chu, what do you mean?"
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "What do I mean? Haha, some things are not good to say too clearly.
But I believe that you, Daoist Wuyang, should be able to see one thing. Xiang Long probably won't be able to live for long.
Since Xiang Long wants to see us opposing each other, then you and I will put on a show for Xiang Long.
As for the future, we can talk about it later.
But I'm afraid that the Northern Yan court will not be peaceful for long. I believe that when the time comes, Daoist Wuyang, you should know which side you should stand on. "
After saying this, Chu Xiu patted Daoist Wuyang's shoulder and turned to leave.
In the restaurant, Daoist Wuyang's expression was somewhat uncertain.
He was also a little uncertain about what Chu Xiu was planning.
But it was clear that Xiang Long had angered Chu Xiu this time. From his tone, he was preparing for a big one.
For Chu Xiu to dare call Xiang Long by his name in front of him, it was obvious that he had no respect for Xiang Long at all.
Daoist Wuyang's Shadow Mountain Sect was a branch of Daoism after all. He still had some Qi Divination skills.
He saw Xiang Long a few days ago. At this moment, Xiang Long was indeed haunted by death. Even with those precious treasures, his own aging could not be made up for.
When the day of Xiang Long's death came, the Northern Yan court would be in chaos. Which side would he stand on? This was a question that was worth pondering.
Of course, for now, Daoist Wuyang was very much in agreement with what Chu Xiu said.
Right now, they were on the same side. They could put on a show on the surface, but they could not really kill each other on the inside.
After returning to the Zhenwu Hall, Mei Qinglian wanted to ask Chu Xiu what Xiang Long had said to him.
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Gather everyone. Let's go to the meeting hall to discuss."
After a quarter of an hour, all of Chu Xiu's trusted elites had gathered in the Zhenwu Hall.
Mei Qinglian and Pang Hu were there. Tang Ya and the other old men under Chu Xiu, as well as Zhao Chengping and the others from the Yinmo Clan were also there.
Moreover, Lu Fengxian had also brought Shui Wuxiang and the other three here.
Originally, Mei Qinglian did not call Lu Fengxian. However, Lu Fengxian was in the Zhenwu Hall. He thought that something had happened, so he followed to see if he could help.
Everyone knew the relationship between Lu Fengxian and Chu Xiu, so they did not say much.
Looking at the crowd, Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Just now, Xiang Long asked me to go over and forced the Zhenwu Hall to take action to deal with the Great Light Temple. He wanted to test their bottom line."
Mei Qinglian frowned and said, "What is Xiang Long thinking? Provoking the Great Light Temple at this time, is he courting death? "
Chu Xiu sneered and said, "Of course, Xiang Long knows that this is courting death. Therefore, he did not send the Northern Yan's National Five Armies, but sent the Zhenwu Hall. Why? It's just to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf.
The National Five Armies are Northern Yan's own people, while we are outsiders. Most importantly, we belong to the Yinmo Clan. Once something happens to me, will the Yinmo Clan let it go?
At that time, the Northern Yan Imperial Court does not need to do anything. The Yinmo Clan itself will fight with the Great Light Temple. Even if both sides are not destroyed, their vitality will be greatly damaged. Anyway, no matter how you look at it, the Northern Yan Imperial Court will benefit. "
Pang Hu rubbed his head and sneered, "Like I said, that old thing Xiang Long is not a person who is easy to get along with. Cooperating with him is like asking a tiger for its skin. Chu Xiu, why don't you just bring the Zhenwu Hall and rebel against the Northern Yan. The Qilian Stockade will still follow you. In this Northern Yan land, the power that we can create together will not lose to the 36 Northern Bandits of the past! "
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Rebel against the Northern Yan Imperial Court? During this period of time, I have led the Zhenwu Hall to help the Northern Yan Imperial Court suppress so many sects in the pugilistic world. These are all achievements and foundations. If I leave now, won't there be nothing left? Even if I want to leave, I can't just leave like this. Otherwise, won't we suffer a great loss? "
Mei Qinglian frowned and said, "What can we do if we don't leave? Are you really going to go against the Great Light Temple? "
Chu Xiu said, "We'll talk about the Great Light Temple in the future. For now, all of you should be careful and try to maintain your strength. Don't get into conflict with the imperial court. The same goes for Taoist Wuyang's people. Also, I would like to meet with Senior Wei to discuss some matters. "
Mei Qinglian asked, "What is it?"
Chu Xiu squinted and said, "I want to ask Old Senior Wei if he has any plans to let the Yinmo Clan settle down in the Northern Yan. After drifting for so long, the Yinmo Clan should have a stable base. They don't have to hide underground. "
Hearing Chu Xiu say this, Mei Qinglian was shocked. What was Chu Xiu planning to do? Was he going to rebel?
The Yinmo Clan had a special identity. Even if the Yinmo Clan surrendered to him, Xiang Long would not dare to accept them. Otherwise, wouldn't the Northern Yan become a den of demons?
As for Chu Xiu, he was a special case.
Chu Xiu had always appeared in front of the pugilistic world. It was not until recently that he revealed his identity as a member of the Yinmo Clan. Moreover, he had fought against the attacks of the Northern Yan and Eastern Qi alliances. He had the right to appear in the pugilistic world openly.
Therefore, it was not a problem for Xiang Long to cooperate with Chu Xiu.
Although Mei Qinglian knew that Chu Xiu had always been bold, this time, he had actually set his sights on the Northern Yan Imperial Court. This could not be called bold, it was simply crazy.
