Chu Xiu did not say much about Xiang Chong's arrogant attitude after gaining the upper hand.
It was normal for a young man to have little experience. He would get used to it after a few ups and downs.
Therefore, Chu Xiu just said lightly, "I wonder why Your Highness is looking for me?"
Xiang Chong sat boldly on Chu Xiu's seat of honor. He did not look as courteous and cautious as he did before.
He waved his hand and said, "Official Chu, there is no need to resort to insinuations. Now that both Daoism and Buddhism have entered the city, I'm afraid the days of Zhenwu Hall will not be easy.
I have known you for many years, Official Chu. Naturally, I want to help you, but this is my father's decision, and I can't do anything about it.
But Official Chu, rest assured, as long as you are willing to assist me and temporarily break up Zhenwu Hall and merge it into the Crown Prince's Palace, when I inherit the throne, I will naturally find a way to help you rebuild Zhenwu Hall. And I believe it will not take too long.
Official Chu, I remember many years ago, when you were still on the Longhu List and had not become famous in Jianghu, I wanted to recruit you, Official Chu, but Official Chu, you refused.
Now, Official Chu, you have become famous in Jianghu, but I have also become the heir of Great Yan from a prince who has no power. I wonder if I am qualified to recruit you, Official Chu? "
When Xiang Chong said this, his heart was full of joy.
Before he became the Crown Prince, Chu Xiu actually felt that Xiang Chong was not bad.
Because of Xiang Li's suppression, the prince did not have much of the arrogant temperament of the royal family. Instead, he had a little more of the generosity of Jianghu.
At that time, Xiang Chong yearned for Jianghu. In the Northern Yan, he was suppressed by Xiang Li and could not see any hope. For him, he wished he could be a Jianghu ranger instead of being born in an imperial family. Every day, he was on tenterhooks and could not see freedom and hope.
Yet now, a single sentence from Xiang Long had allowed him to completely turn the tables on Xiang Chong and become the inheritor and controller of this enormous Empire. This enormous gap was sufficient to cause Xiang Chong's entire mentality to change, and this sort of change was something that even Xiang Long hadn't expected.
In Xiang Long's plan, Xiang Chong only needed to watch the three forces of Daoism, Buddhism, and Diabolism suffer a great loss, and then restore Jiangshan Pavilion to become a barrier against Eastern Qi. Then, he would inherit the throne. That would be enough.
Who would have thought that Xiang Chong would be so arrogant and come to recruit Chu Xiu, and even make such a promise?
In his heart, Xiang Chong, Xiang Xiu, Xiang Chong, and Xiang Xiu, and Li, Xiang, and Xiang, Xiang, and Xiu, Xiang, Xiang, Xiang, and Li, not.
As for Chu Xiu, he could not be considered hateful. However, when he had been rejected by Chu Xiu when he tried to recruit him, it was like a thorn in his heart. That scene made him feel that Chu Xiu looked down on him.
Now that he had become the Crown Prince, Chu Xiu was facing danger from all sides. Would Chu Xiu reject his invitation? Do you dare to refuse?
Looking at Chu Xiu below, a smile appeared on Xiang Chong's face. It was a smile that he had learned from his father, Xiang Long, as if he had a card up his sleeve. However, when placed on Xiang Chong's face, it seemed a little awkward.
Chu Xiu didn't get angry. He just said lightly, "Your Highness, did you sleep too much because you were suddenly announced as the Crown Prince a few days ago? This is not a good thing. The Northern Yan Empire will need Your Highness to shoulder it in the future. You must pay attention to your health. "
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, the smile on Xiang Chong's face froze.
He knew what Chu Xiu meant. Chu Xiu was saying that he was daydreaming!
Xiang Chong jumped to his feet with a gloomy expression. However, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Although he had indeed been overly excited by the news of the Crown Prince, it didn't mean that he had become stupid from the shock.
Even if he didn't know what his father had done at the time, the elders of the Xiang royal family had told him about it later on.
Chu Xiu's forces were already so fearful that even Xiang Long did not dare to fall out with him, to the point where the Taoist and Buddhist lineages had to join forces to suppress him. Of course, he did not have the qualifications to fall out with Chu Xiu. Otherwise, he would be the one to be embarrassed.
Therefore, Xiang Chong forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and laughed loudly. "Good, good, good! Official Chu is indeed Official Chu. He is exactly the same as the Official Chu from years ago. He hasn't changed at all!
However, Official Chu hasn't changed, but I am no longer the same as I was a few years ago.
A few years ago, it took a lot of effort for me to ask a Real Pellet State martial arts grand master to be a guest. Now, there is already the top Sword Sage in the world to be my teacher. There is even a powerhouse of True Fire Spirit Refinement State who took the initiative to join me!
I heard that this person is an old friend of Official Chu. Let's meet him today.
Senior Li, please come out. "
As Xiang Chong's voice fell, a figure walked out of the inner hall. It was none other than Li Jiaodi who escaped from Chu Xiu last time!
Seeing Li Jiaodi again, Chu Xiu was taken aback.
This woman provoked me again and again, and now she even dares to appear in front of me. Is she really not afraid of death, or does she have something to rely on?
Chu Xiu's gaze instantly darkened. "Li Jiaodi, I let you escape last time and I can't be bothered to continue chasing after you. You should be thankful for that. Now, you still dare to appear in Northern Yan. Who gave you the courage? Who gave you the courage? Who! "
In the last battle in the Mahakala Demon Cult, Li Jiaodi was really scared by Chu Xiu.
That kind of crushing power made her feel a sense of powerlessness. In the end, she had to use a secret technique to escape with her life, and she even almost suffered from Qi Deviation. If she hadn't been saved by someone and coincidentally solved her Heart Demon, her cultivation might have been crippled.
So at this time, when Li Jiaodi faced Chu Xiu, although she still had the courage before, her face couldn't help but turn pale when she heard Chu Xiu's shout.
Meanwhile, Xiang Chong said, "Lord Chu, Senior Li is a Revered Elder of my Crown Prince's Palace now. I didn't care about the enmity between the two of you in the past, but if you attack Senior Li now, then you're looking down on me! Teacher! "
As Xiang Chong shouted, Kang Dongming, the Sword Sage of the East Sea, appeared behind him. He was still holding his sword, looking sluggish.
He didn't want to kill Chu Xiu, not even hostile. But Chu Xiu was sure that if he attacked here, the Sword Sage of the East Sea would definitely attack.
Chu Xiu looked at Xiang Chong and narrowed his eyes.
People who had followed Chu Xiu for a long time knew that when Chu Xiu showed this kind of expression, it usually meant that he was about to plot or kill someone.
People who narrowed their eyes were generally very scary.
"Very good. It seems that Your Highness has a card up your sleeve. But I still have to advise Your Highness, some people can't be used. Those who harm their master will be very miserable after using them. "
After saying this, Chu Xiu turned around and left.
With Kang Dongming around, Chu Xiu couldn't kill Li Jiaodi.
Kang Dongming's title as the Sword Sage of the East Sea was not just for show. He had earned it through fighting. Shen Baochen of the Sword Hut and Shen Tianwang of the Swordking City had been defeated by him. One could imagine how strong his swordsmanship was.
Although he couldn't compare to the Sword Sage Gu Qingcheng of 500 years ago, at least in the current martial arts world, there were not many people who could beat him in swordsmanship.
For a person like Kang Dongming, besides swordsmanship, there was nothing else that could be stuffed into his head in this life. Only God knew what conditions Xiang Long had offered him that he could stay safely in Northern Yan and stay by Xiang Chong's side as a teacher.
However, if Chu Xiu wanted to kill someone, not even Gu Qingcheng, the Sword Saint of the Eastern Sea, could stop him. Not even Gu Qingcheng, the Sword Saint from five hundred years ago, could stop him!
But at this time in the Crown Prince's Palace, Xiang Chong didn't care about Chu Xiu's threat at all. He just thought that Chu Xiu wanted to save some face.
Xiang Chong said to Li Jiaodi, "Senior Li, please rest assured. As long as you can assist me, Chu Xiu can't touch you."
Li Jiaodi nodded stiffly. She was a standard Jianghu person. Even if she joined the Yinmo Clan, she was only doing things alone. She was still a little unused to this kind of etiquette.
But at this moment, a handsome young man in white with a jade-like face walked out from the side and put his arm around Li Jiaodi's waist in an extremely natural manner. He smiled at Xiang Chong and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. Now that you are the chosen one, we will definitely stand by your side."
…
After returning to the Zhenwu Hall, Chu Xiu first called Mei Qinglian over and told her what happened today. He asked, "How did Li Jiaodi get involved with Xiang Chong?"
Mei Qinglian was also stunned. She knew Li Jiaodi. Perhaps it was the same sex repels each other. She had only interacted with Li Jiaodi a few times, but she also looked down on her. When she heard that Li Jiaodi had actually joined Xiang Chong's side, she immediately asked someone to investigate.
The Zhenwu Hall today was not the Zhenwu Hall of the past. Many people joined later. Although it was not as good as the Wind Sweeping Building in terms of intelligence, at least it was still very useful around Yan Jing City.
After a while, Mei Qinglian received the information from the servants in the Crown Prince's Palace. Mei Qinglian said with a strange expression, "Li Jiaodi joined Xiang Chong because of her man."
Chu Xiu was stunned when he heard this. "Li Jiaodi has a man?"
Although Li Jiaodi seemed to still be attractive, it seemed that she was not young anymore.
Mei Qinglian nodded and said, "Do you still remember Li Jiaodi's background? She was once abandoned by a man when she was young, so she almost didn't have a good attitude towards men.
But after she was seriously injured by you last time, she met the descendant of the man who injured her, who was also Xiang Chong's guest, Lin Fengyu. His appearance was almost exactly the same as his ancestor.
It was Lin Fengyu who saved Li Jiaodi. Because of his appearance, Li Jiaodi got rid of the demon in her heart and fell in love with him. Lin Fengyu even promised her that he would repay the love debt owed by his ancestor.
From then on, Li Jiaodi listened to Lin Fengyu. She naturally came to join Xiang Chong because of Lin Fengyu. "
