Xiang Wu's choice was important to Chu Xiu, but it was also not important.
Xiang Long was not dead yet, so Chu Xiu still had time to arrange a lot of things.
Even if Xiang Wu did not choose to join forces with him in the end, he would certainly not continue to be a 'loyal subject' to Xiang Long.
It should be said that from the beginning, Xiang Wu was not a foolishly loyal person. Otherwise, he would not have come to Chu Xiu to ask for the Giant Spirit Gang's business route.
After leaving Xiang Wu's place, Chu Xiu was also ready to test the attitude of the Northern Yan princes.
However, Chu Xiu was not familiar with them, so it was a little sensitive to meet them rashly.
Everyone knew that Chu Xiu and Xiang Wu had a good relationship. Both sides had always been in contact, so it was not a big deal even if Xiang Long knew that Chu Xiu was going to meet Xiang Wu at this time.
However, if Chu Xiu rashly went to meet the other princes, it would be a little sensitive.
Therefore, Chu Xiu still needed to borrow Lu Fengxian.
He brought Lu Fengxian with the excuse of finding them to find an identity for Lu Fengxian in the Northern Yan court. This excuse was very good.
After all, everyone knew that Lu Fengxian was Chu Xiu's good friend. Chu Xiu was not willing to let Lu Fengxian join the Zhenwu Hall as a subordinate and find an official position for him. This was also very normal.
After hearing Chu Xiu's plan, Lu Fengxian agreed without thinking. However, on the way, Lu Fengxian said to Chu Xiu, "Brother Chu, now I know that it is really not easy for you to accumulate such a strong family business and to win the position you have now. You have to scheme everywhere. However, Brother Chu, don't you feel that it is very tiring to do this? You only have one life, why do you force yourself like this? "
Lu Fengxian and Chu Xiu had known each other for a long time. At that time, both of them could only be said to be nobodies.
And now, the one who was known by the people of the Jianghu was the young Marquis Wen, who was infatuated and had no regrets. He was one of the most dazzling heroes of the younger generation.
The other one was Chu Xiu, who was comparable to the older generation of martial artists. He was ferocious and powerful, and he already had a faint demonic aura.
It could be said that Lu Fengxian had personally witnessed Chu Xiu walk step by step to the current realm. Along the way, Chu Xiu had almost wandered between life and death several times. Therefore, she was very puzzled as to why Chu Xiu still had to scheme in such a way, even to the extent of physical and mental exhaustion.
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm forcing myself, but the world is forcing us to move forward.
In the chaotic world of Jianghu, if you don't kill people, people will kill you.
If you're a step slower, people will surpass you by two steps.
Everyone wants to be free and unfettered, but unless you hide in a desolate place and go into seclusion, where there are people, there will be Jianghu. How can you be free and unfettered?
And in my opinion, going into seclusion in such a place isn't really free and unfettered. It's just escaping and putting yourself in a cage. There's no meaning to it.
Brother Lu, it's been so many years, do you still not understand? There are no good people in this Jianghu. Even if it's a few famous chivalrous grandmasters, their unintentional actions can cause even greater disasters.
Once a hero draws his sword, it's another ten years of calamity for the common people.
In this Jianghu, it's impossible to truly stay out of it.
Just like Brother Lu this time, why did the Yue Nu Palace and Yan Feiyan dare to scheme against you and not me or Ying Bailu? Because they didn't dare!
If they dared to scheme against Ying Bailu, the Shangshui Ying Clan would dare to make the Yue Nu Palace disappear from the Jianghu the next day.
If the Yue Nu Palace dared to scheme against me, I will let them know what is more terrifying than death.
On the other hand, the price they have to pay for scheming against Brother Lu is much smaller.
So sometimes, it's not that I want to fight, but the way of the world, you and I have no choice but to fight! "
Lu Fengxian looked at Chu Xiu and was at a loss for words.
Originally, he wanted to persuade Chu Xiu, but in the end, he was persuaded by Chu Xiu.
But there was nothing he could do. In terms of eloquence, he wasn't as nimble as Chu Xiu.
Moreover, the matter with the Yue Nu Palace was indeed handled foolishly. This would probably become a black mark of his life, and people would use it to criticize him whenever they met.
Knowing that he couldn't persuade Chu Xiu, Lu Fengxian didn't try to persuade him anymore.
As a good friend, most of the time, it didn't matter what you said, but what you did.
This time, Chu Xiu took the initiative to come to the Sword Welcoming Conference to save him. In the future, even if Chu Xiu really wanted to rebel, Lu Fengxian would still dare to stand up to the Northern Yan Imperial Court.
The first person Chu Xiu brought Lu Fengxian to look for was the thirteenth prince of the Northern Yan, Xiang Chong. This prince had a good relationship with Chu Xiu, and the two of them had a lot of cooperation.
Moreover, investing in Xiang Chong was a good choice. In the original plot, in the struggle for the throne of the Northern Yan, Xiang Chong was the final winner.
Although Chu Xiu didn't know how Xiang Chong did it, he believed that with Chu Xiu's help, Xiang Chong would be able to do the same, or even better.
However, when Chu Xiu saw Xiang Chong, he realized that he seemed to have thought wrong about one thing.
Xiang Chong was still very polite to Chu Xiu. After welcoming Chu Xiu into the house, Xiang Chong asked with a smile, "Official Chu has just been entrusted with an important task by Father. Why do you have the time to come here?"
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness knows about the latest mission of Zhenwu Hall?"
Xiang Chong nodded and said, "Of course, I know. I just came back from Father's place two days ago, and Father told me about it. Official Chu's Zhenwu Hall is getting stronger and stronger. It's time to expand. If we can settle the Great Light Temple, then Zhenwu Hall will definitely become an existence comparable to the five armies of the country. At that time, I have to congratulate Official Chu. "
"Your Highness has never thought that with the current strength of Zhenwu Hall, it will not end well to provoke the Great Light Temple." Chu Xiu said indifferently.
Xiang Chong smiled awkwardly and said, "Official Chu, you have a sense of propriety. When Zhenwu Hall was poor in the past, Official Chu, you could open up the situation. I believe that Official Chu, you will be able to solve this matter perfectly. By the way, Official Chu, why are you here this time?"
Chu Xiu said faintly, "Nothing. I just want to trouble Your Highness with something. I just want to seek a position for Brother Lyu in the Northern Yan court."
Xiang Chong said in surprise, "Official Chu doesn't want to leave a position for Brother Lyu in Zhenwu Hall?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Brother Lyu is my good friend, not my subordinate, so it is not appropriate to give a position in Zhenwu Hall to Brother Lyu."
Xiang Chong nodded directly and said, "Official Chu, don't worry. Leave this matter to me.
Brother Lyu used to be on the Longhu List, and now he is a martial arts master. Father will be very happy if he can join the Northern Yan court.
When I see father next time, I will mention this matter to him. I will definitely give Brother Lyu a position that he will be satisfied with. "
Chu Xiu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
After that, Chu Xiu refused Xiang Chong's invitation to stay and left with Lu Fengxian.
After leaving Xiang Chong's residence, Lu Fengxian said in surprise, "Why didn't you tell Xiang Chong about those things just now?"
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "I was careless. I didn't expect that Xiang Chong's feelings for Xiang Long are very unusual. He really admires his father."
Among the many princes of the Northern Yan, Xiang Long doted on Xiang Chong the most, who looked very similar to him when he was young.
Therefore, Xiang Chong also had a special father-son relationship with Xiang Long.
Xiang Chong was a smart man. He should know the meaning behind Xiang Long's actions, but he still believed that Xiang Long did not do anything wrong. He even talked like an official with Chu Xiu. One could imagine what Chu Xiu would do if he told Xiang Chong the plan. The first thing he would do would probably be to report him to Xiang Long.
In the original plot, it was unknown whether Xiang Chong was able to obtain the throne because he was' obedient '.
"Then what should we do now?" Lu Fengxian asked.
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "If Xiang Chong can't do it, then we'll get someone else. That person is probably very unhappy with Xiang Long. But this time, I will go alone. Brother Lyu, you can go into seclusion for a period of time to stabilize your realm. "
…
After nightfall, the Second Prince Xiang Li returned to his residence, reeking of alcohol.
Unlike Xiang Chong, Xiang Li's ambition was written all over his face. All these years, he had been constantly trying to win over the important officials of the Northern Yan court. Whether it was to express goodwill or lure them with benefits, he used all sorts of methods. Coupled with the fact that Xiang Long did not stop him, he had really built up a network of contacts.
If he could ascend to the throne in the future, these people would be of great help.
But now, the only thing that Xiang Li was unhappy about was his father's attitude.
Among so many princes, in terms of ability, who could compare to him? After the Crown Prince was deposed, he, the Second Prince, was the real Crown Prince. But after so many years, he still did not get the title of Crown Prince. He was still the Second Prince.
On the contrary, his younger brother had no ability at all. Just because he looked like the young Xiang Long, he was very favored. This made Xiang Li very unhappy.
He had worked so hard, but in the end, he could not compare to a face?
As he thought of this angrily, he subconsciously pushed open the door and suddenly saw a black figure sitting in the room. He was instantly shocked, and the smell of alcohol instantly sobered up. Just as he was about to shout, he felt an extremely powerful aura shrouding his body, causing him to swallow his words.
"Second Prince, I mean no harm. I just want to discuss something with you," Chu Xiu said calmly.
"Chu Xiu! Why are you here? "
Xiang Li closed the door, his face full of surprise. At the same time, he cursed the Consecrator of the Prince's Residence.
For princes like Xiang Li, of course, with his high status and strength, there would be a Grandmaster Consecrator of the Northern Yan Royal Family Consecrator in the Prince's Residence to prevent any accidents.
In the end, Chu Xiu had already snuck into his house, but that Grandmaster Consecrator was still sleeping soundly. Who was it? Chu Xiu was too strong, or that Consecrator was too useless?
Looking at Xiang Li, Chu Xiu said word by word, "I am here to help Second Prince fight for the throne!"
