After listening to Mei Qinglian's information, Chu Xiu's face was full of disbelief.
He had countless conjectures before. For example, Li Jiaodi was angry that she suffered a loss last time, so she took advantage of him being suppressed by Xiang Long this time to find trouble with him.
Or the other big shots of the Yinmo Clan were dissatisfied with him, so they joined forces to pressure him and protect Li Jiaodi from behind.
But he never thought that Li Jiaodi appeared by Xiang Chong's side because of a man.
Chu Xiu said with a strange expression, "If I'm not wrong, Li Jiaodi is not young anymore, right? How old is that man? An old cow eating young grass? "
Mei Qinglian waved her hand casually and said, "Of course not young. Anyway, he's much older than me.
Lin Fengyu is a good-for-nothing. He only reached the Innate Realm when he was in his twenties by relying on the elixir left by his ancestors. The Lin family's ancestors were relatively glorious, but in his generation, they had completely declined. He was the only one left in the family, so he joined Xiang Chong, an unfavored prince, as a follower.
And it's not that I look down on Li Jiaodi. She was dumped by a man at the beginning, and now, she has fallen into the hands of that man's descendant. She really doesn't learn from her mistakes. That man is not a good person. Maybe she will vomit blood again.
Now, no matter what Li Jiaodi does, I won't be surprised. Love is the most harmful word, and it can make people lose their minds.
Li Jiaodi was originally very paranoid and not very smart. Now, she has completely become an idiot. "
Chu Xiu wondered, "How do you know that Lin Fengyu is not a good person?"
Mei Qinglian sneered and said, "How do you think I got the information? Such a detailed thing was said by Lin Fengyu himself to Xiang Chong, and it was heard by the servants of the Crown Prince's Residence. Then, they sold it to the spies of the Zhenwu Hall. Li Jiaodi is now deeply in love with him, but he sold Li Jiaodi in the blink of an eye. There are not many good men. "
Chu Xiu touched his nose and said, "Don't hurt the innocent. There is still a man in front of you."
Mei Qinglian raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes at him. "So you're saying that you're a good thing? Those who died at your hands definitely don't think so. "
Mei Qinglian's flirtatious look was so coquettish that even Chu Xiu fell into a trance.
He asked in surprise, "Did you make a breakthrough in the Great Chick Technique again?"
Mei Qinglian raised her eyebrows and said, "My beauty is unparalleled. What does that have to do with my cultivation technique?"
Chu Xiu touched his chin again. He wisely chose not to argue with Mei Qinglian on this issue. As long as she was a woman, she would always be confident in her own appearance.
Men were very open-minded about this. Anyway, in this underworld, not many people relied on their faces to make a living.
Of course, there were exceptions, such as Fang Qi Shao, who thought that his handsomeness was comparable to that of Lu Fengxian and felt very good about himself.
Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said, "There is enough trouble. It doesn't matter if there is another Li Jiaodi. In fact, one Li Jiaodi is not even a problem. I rarely misjudge people, but I have to say that I have misjudged Xiang Chong. This person's desire for power has swelled to the point that it has become somewhat distorted. "
Mei Qinglian said, "From a prince with the lowest chance of inheriting the throne to the crown prince, and it won't take long for him to inherit the throne. With such a big pie falling on his head, if Xiang Chong doesn't twist it, then I'm afraid he is even more scheming than Xiang Long."
Just as Chu Xiu was about to say something, someone suddenly came in to report that Xiang Li had come to visit.
Mei Qinglian was surprised and said, "What is he here for? Could it be that he wants us to help him ascend the throne? "
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Apart from this, what else can he do for us? Moreover, why can't we help him ascend the throne? "
Mei Qinglian was suddenly stunned. To be honest, she really did not expect Chu Xiu to be so bold.
All along, Mei Qinglian thought that Chu Xiu only wanted to protect himself, to protect the power and foundation of Zhenwu Hall in Northern Yan.
Who would have thought that Chu Xiu's thinking was even more exaggerated. He actually wanted to intervene in the battle for the throne of Northern Yan!
If Chu Xiu did this, his opponent would not only be Xiang Long, but the entire Northern Yan Royal Family and the Northern Yan Imperial Court!
Mei Qinglian still wanted to say something, but Chu Xiu turned and left.
Behind him, Mei Qinglian shook her head. She did not intend to persuade Chu Xiu.
He, Chu Xiu, had done many daring things. This one would not make much of a difference.
In the meeting hall, when Xiang Li saw Chu Xiu, he rushed over and grabbed Chu Xiu's hand and shouted, "Official Chu! Save me! Help me! "
Chu Xiu furrowed his brows. He slowly released his True Qi, stabilizing Xiang Li's body and moving him away.
He was not used to a man holding his hand.
"Your Highness, don't be so agitated. The sky has not fallen and you are not dead yet. Why are you panicking?"
After letting Xiang Li sit on the chair to calm down, Chu Xiu sized up the current Xiang Li.
In just a few days, Xiang Li was almost unrecognizable.
Although Xiang Li was arrogant before, he had the bearing of a member of the Royal Family.
But now, Xiang Li was in a mess. He was not in the mood to tidy up his beard and hair.
In addition, his eyes were bloodshot and sunken after a long period of insomnia. He looked miserable.
During this period, Xiang Li was really about to be driven crazy.
Not only did he give Xiang Chong the throne that he had hoped for for so many years, he also knew that once Xiang Chong secured the throne, he would definitely be the first to be cut.
All these years, he had suppressed Xiang Chong more than once or twice. Of course, he knew how much his thirteenth brother hated him. Once Xiang Chong ascended to the throne, would he still have a way out?
Moreover, the fight for the throne had always been something that could not be spared.
His father had even killed his own brother, who was born from the same mother, not to mention Xiang Chong.
In the past few days, Xiang Li had seen the hypocrisy of the world.
The forces that had promised to submit to him, including the military, the civil officials, and the nobles of the Royal Family, all left him decisively after he lost power. They threw themselves into Xiang Chong's arms, and he could do nothing about it.
Originally, Xiang Li was drowning his sorrows in wine in his residence. In the end, he accidentally heard the news of the conflict between Chu Xiu and Xiang Chong. He suddenly thought of something. He had cooperated with Chu Xiu before. Even though Chu Xiu was being suppressed by Xiang Long now, the only one who could save him and dared to come to his rescue was Chu Xiu.
Therefore, Xiang Li could not wait to go to him directly. He put down his dignity and everything else. When he saw Chu Xiu, it was as if he had grabbed hold of a life-saving straw. He refused to let go.
Xiang Li took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Official Chu, although I am not dead now, it is uncertain whether I will live or die in the future. Today, I came prepared for the worst. As long as Official Chu can save my life, I will hand over all my savings to you, Official Chu! "
In front of Chu Xiu, Xiang Li no longer addressed himself as a prince.
To him, staying alive was more important than anything else.
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Your Highness, you don't have to worry so much. I have already said that the sky has not fallen and Xiang Chong has not succeeded the throne.
You have been longing for the position of crown prince for more than a decade. Now that it is gone, are you really willing?
If you are only thinking about staying alive, you will seem a little too cowardly. "
At this point, Chu Xiu's tone seemed to contain some kind of magic. When Xiang Li heard this, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Your Highness, do you want to take back everything that belongs to you and ascend to the throne of the Northern Yan?"
Xiang Li was stunned for a moment. Trembling slightly, he said, "Ascend to the throne of the Northern Yan? Do I still have a chance? That is an order from my Imperial Father.
Everyone has already pledged their allegiance to Xiang Chong. He also has the Eastern Sea Sword Sage, Kang Dongming, as his Master. He has also been blessed by the Nine Dragons Seal.
In a day, he has everything that a crown prince should have. What can I use to fight against him? Fight with him? "
Chu Xiu stood up and stared at Xiang Li. "I don't need you to fight with him. You don't need to fight with him. Just leave it to me.
You just need to do as I say. I guarantee that I will help you ascend to the throne.
Of course, you must listen to me. Otherwise, you will be a pile of mud. No matter how hard I try, I will not be able to stick it to the wall. "
Chu Xiu's words seemed to contain some sort of magic. Xiang Li's panicked heart calmed down a little.
Looking at Chu Xiu, Xiang Li still trembled. "Official Chu, can you really help me take back the throne?"
"As long as you trust me, I can!"
Xiang Li still had some doubts. "But Official Chu, why are you doing this? What do you stand to gain? "
Chu Xiu said calmly, "The Northern Yan does not belong to your Imperial Father alone. The Northern Yan does not belong to the Xiang Imperial Family alone, and the Northern Yan does not belong to the Xiang Imperial Family alone.
Xiang Chong has obtained everything that belongs to your Imperial Father. Of course, he will resolutely carry out your Imperial Father's policies.
Therefore, if he becomes the Emperor, it will affect my interests. I am very unhappy.
If I help you ascend to the throne, I will help you guard the Northern Yan.
The country is yours.
The martial world is mine. "
Chu Xiu's wild ambition and blatant desire for power made Xiang Li feel even more at ease.
Even if Chu Xiu only wanted to rule the Northern Yan with him, even if Chu Xiu wanted to become the Emperor and leave him a lifetime of riches and honor, Xiang Li would be willing.
No one was willing to die. Xiang Li did not want to die. Even if he had to sell everything, as long as he could live, he would do it.
Therefore, Xiang Li didn't even think about it. He nodded heavily. "As long as Official Chu can help me seize the throne, I will agree to anything! Half of the land of Northern Yan belongs to Xiang, and the other half belongs to Chu! "
Hearing this, Chu Xiu could not help but reveal a smile at the corner of his lips.
Mei Qinglian was still listening outside the door. Of course, she wasn't eavesdropping. She was openly eavesdropping.
When she heard Xiang Li's words, she couldn't help but shake her head at how easily he betrayed his country.
Chu Xiu's methods were even more excessive than those of the The Sixth Demon Sect.
They only triggered the demons in people's hearts. But Chu Xiu, even if people didn't have demons in their hearts, he could still drag them down the path of demons.
