Xiang Li looked at Chu Xiu in bewilderment.
What did Chu Xiu just say? Help him fight for the throne? But isn't he Thirteenth Prince's man?
Xiang Li couldn't help but sneer, "Isn't my thirteenth brother a little too naive? He actually sent you to play such tricks. Do you think I'll believe him? "
Xiang Li couldn't be blamed for his suspicions. After all, he had a grudge with Chu Xiu.
In the past, Xiang Li had tried to win over the Morgue Manor, but before he could succeed, the manor was completely destroyed by Chu Xiu.
Later on, Chu Xiu befriended Xiang Chong, and it was all thanks to Xiang Chong that Chu Xiu could become the Governor of the Northern Yan's Martial Suppression Hall.
Therefore, Xiang Li subconsciously thought that Chu Xiu was sent by his brother to sow discord.
Chu Xiu shook his head, "It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. What's important is that Second Prince, you need to grasp every bit of power you can. Otherwise, the throne will not be yours in the future."
Xiang Li sneered, "What a joke! If you say it's not mine, then it's not mine? I am the Northern Yan's Second Prince. In terms of succession, my thirteenth brother is still far behind! "
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "But you still haven't been appointed as the Crown Prince."
Anger flashed across Xiang Li's face. This was the biggest sore spot in his heart.
"I've been in power for more than ten years compared to my thirteenth brother. Whether it's in the court or in the pugilistic world, my power is stronger than his!"
Chu Xiu still said indifferently, "But you still haven't been appointed as the Crown Prince."
Xiang Li shouted, "I've been assisting Imperial Father in handling some royal affairs. What does Xiang Chong know? He only knows how to fool around with some ignorant pugilistic people. How insolent! "
Chu Xiu still said indifferently, "But you still haven't been appointed as the Crown Prince."
Xiang Li was about to go crazy, "Can't you say something else?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "No, because this sentence is the key.
You are stronger than your thirteenth brother in every aspect, and you even have the advantage in terms of age and status, but you still haven't been made the Crown Prince. In fact, when you were fighting with Xiang Chong, Xiang Long even helped him. Don't you know what this means?
In the eyes of others, your advantages are your advantages, but in Xiang Long's eyes, your so-called advantages are not even worth a fart!
No matter how great your advantage is, it cannot be greater than Xiang Chong's face. That face is almost exactly the same as Xiang Long's when he was young.
Passing down the throne to Xiang Chong was a wonderful thing, especially for a great ruler like Xiang Long. Him passing the throne to Xiang Chong represented a new life for him.
So, Your Highness, the things you've prepared now are far from enough. You've done everything you can, but it's very likely that in the end, it won't be as effective as Xiang Long's last words. "
Chu Xiu's words pierced straight into Xiang Li's heart.
He also knew about these things, but he had never spoken about them in front of outsiders.
Why did he put in so much effort to suppress Xiang Chong? It was all because of Xiang Long's unfairness!
He had done so much and prepared so much, but in the end, the ownership of the throne was still unclear. This made Xiang Li feel as if he had wasted all these years. Everything he had done was of no use at all.
After a moment of silence, Xiang Li said, "You have a good relationship with my thirteenth brother. Why are you helping me now? According to what you said, if you help my thirteenth brother, won't your chances of seizing the throne be higher than mine? "
Chu Xiu said lightly, "It's very simple. I've fallen out with His Majesty. You should know about the incident at the Great Light Temple. His Majesty is indeed a great ruler of his generation. He's quite skilled at using such tactics."
Xiang Li had also heard about this incident. At that time, he had even secretly mocked Chu Xiu.
However, Xiang Li still asked doubtfully, "What does falling out with Father have to do with whether you help my thirteenth brother or not?"
Hearing Xiang Li's question, Chu Xiu also shook his head slightly.
This second prince's brain was not very bright. There were some things that he still did not understand. It was no wonder that Xiang Long did not give him the position of crown prince.
If Xiang Li's ability was so outstanding that he could beat all the princes, then no matter how much Xiang Chong looked like Xiang Long, he would not be a threat to the second prince's position.
Chu Xiu said calmly, "My relationship with Xiang Chong is not bad, but I'm still an outsider. At a time like this, Xiang Chong doesn't even dare to speak up for me. What else can I count on him?"
Xiang Li thought about it and suddenly laughed coldly. "Chu Xiu, don't forget that my surname is also Xiang. Here, you are also an outsider."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "That's very good. When Xiang Chong ascends the throne, see if he will remember that your surname is also Xiang.
We were born from the same root, so why rush to destroy each other?
In the struggle for the throne in the past, brothers killed each other. I don't need to say that kind of cruel methods. Your Highness, you should also know that. "
Xiang Li was silent for a while and suddenly said, "How can you help me?"
Chu Xiu stood up and said in a deep voice, "How can I help you? The entire Yinmo Clan supports Second Prince to ascend the throne. Is this enough?"
Xiang Li trembled violently. The Yinmo Clan was a colossus with unfathomable depths.
But Xiang Li was not an idiot. He said in a low voice, "If I agree, then I will be inviting a wolf into the house!"
Chu Xiu said lightly, "If you don't agree, then you don't even have the qualifications to invite a wolf into the house. You will be directly driven out of the house.
Second Prince is of noble character and unquestionable integrity. You value the interests of the Northern Yan more than your own future. I will not say anything more. At worst, if I cannot survive in the Northern Yan, I will bring the people of Zhenwu Hall back to the Guanzhong torture room.
Anyway, the Yinmo Clan is used to wandering. It is not a big deal to move to another place. "
Just as Chu Xiu was about to leave, Xiang Li suddenly said, "I agree!"
Xiang Li's eyes were a little bloodshot and looked a little scary.
He knew that Chu Xiu was rushing to cooperate with him with no good intentions. He also knew that he was inviting a wolf into the house.
However, he had been longing for the throne for more than ten years. In the end, he found that his efforts might be in vain. Everything he had thought about before might be a dream. How could Xiang Li be willing to accept this?
So even if he knew that the cup in front of him was poison, as long as it could quench his thirst, he would drink it without hesitation.
Chu Xiu's mouth curved into a smile and said, "Your Highness, rest assured. You will know in the future that you will not regret cooperating with me.
But for now, Your Highness needs to help me with one thing. That is to help me arrange some Yinmo Clan members into the Northern Yan court.
They don't need a high position, as long as they can move freely in Yan Jing City. "
Xiang Li nodded woodenly. Since he had already agreed to Chu Xiu's request, there was no turning back.
Chu Xiu's figure was instantly wrapped in a layer of pitch-black Devil Qi. He hid in the darkness and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After leaving the Prince's Residence, Lu Jianghe sighed in Chu Xiu's mind, "I didn't realize that you're quite glib with your words. You easily tricked that bunch of brats."
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Tricked? I didn't trick them.
If you want someone to cooperate with you wholeheartedly, you must let them see the benefits.
Whether it is Xiang Wu or Xiang Li, as long as we succeed, one of them can ascend to the throne, while the other will have a bright future. He can control the entire Northern Yan military. I didn't lie to them about these benefits.
Tricking them is only a temporary benefit. Only benefits are eternal choices. "
Lu Jiang He didn't say anything else because he suddenly realized that he, or the Kunlun Devil Cult of the past, had actually done a lot of stupid things.
Part of Chu Xiu's style of doing things was actually very similar to the Kunlun Devil Cult of the past. They were extremely ruthless and would not stop until they were dead.
But at the same time, Chu Xiu had another style of doing things that the Kunlun Devil Cult had neglected, and that was to leave a path for others.
Using benefits to connect all parties, the one who would benefit in the end would be himself, but he would not stop others from having no way out.
And the Kunlun Devil Cult of the past had obviously gone too far. It was to the extent that if the Kunlun Devil Cult was not destroyed, the other martial arts forces would not be able to make a name for themselves. In this way, when the Kunlun Devil Cult was destroyed, it was not strange that the major sects could be so united.
His own arrangements were temporarily completed, and it was time for Chu Xiu to consider the matter of the Great Light Temple.
It was a big project to insert the Yinmo lineage into the Northern Yan imperial court, and it required meticulous work. If it was done too hastily and was discovered by others, it would be terrible.
Therefore, during this period of time, Chu Xiu also had to pretend to be a 'loyal subject' for a period of time. For now, he had to deceive the task in front of him.
Chu Xiu asked Lu Jiang He, "You said that there are treasures buried near the Great Light Temple. What exactly is buried there?"
Since he had already told Chu Xiu everything, Lu Jiang He did not hide anything. He said directly, "Actually, there are three places where the treasures are hidden. One was personally buried by me, and it's the closest to the Great Light Temple. The other two were buried by the bastards under me. I only know the general location.
The things that the bastards buried were just some common cultivation resources and so on. They were used as backups, and there was nothing special about them.
As for the things that I personally buried, it was actually some blood. The blood of some powerhouses from 500 years ago! "
Chu Xiu's heart skipped a beat. He asked, "How strong were they?"
Lu Jiang He laughed coldly and said, "How strong were they? They were stronger than you can imagine!
500 years ago, was the current Celestial Master of the Celestial Master Abode of Mount Longhu strong enough?
Was the personal disciple of the Celestial Master Ning Xuanji, the Deputy Sect Leader of the True Martial Arts Sect, strong enough?
Was the current Abbot of the Great Light Temple, who had cultivated the Indestructible Golden Body, strong enough?
Was Kunwu, who was ranked third in the World Famous Sword Manual, and Gu Qingcheng, the powerhouse of the Windcloud Sword Tomb, known as the Sword Saint, strong enough?
If these people are not strong enough, I even have a drop of Patriarch Dugu's blood. Tell me, is it strong enough? "
