Xiang Li came at the right time. Even if he didn't come, Chu Xiu would come looking for him.
Xiang Long's plan was to suppress the Subduing Martial Hall. Xiang Chong, as his successor, had parted with Chu Xiu on bad terms today. He would definitely carry out Xiang Long's policy.
It was unrealistic for Chu Xiu to overthrow the Xiang royal family and become the emperor. Therefore, the solution lay with Xiang Li.
Knocking on the table, Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, do you remember that I once placed some people from the Yinmo Clan into the various departments of the Northern Yan?"
Chu Xiu had a sense of crisis. When he and Xiang Long fell out for the first time, Xiang Chong didn't choose to help him. At that time, he contacted Xiang Li and asked Xiang Li to place some people from the Yinmo Clan into the Northern Yan court.
When the daggers were revealed, these people would be very useful.
Xiang Li nodded and said, "I have been doing this all the time. Now, I have placed many people. But now that I have lost power, those bastards are all on Xiang Chong's side. Now, my power is pitifully small. I can no longer place people from the Yinmo Clan into the other departments of the Northern Yan. "
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "That doesn't matter. Are those people at risk of being discovered?"
Xiang Li shook his head and said, "Absolutely not. Even the people who personally gave the order don't know who I placed. At that time, they were still obedient and didn't ask or inquire. Now that I have lost power, they have probably forgotten about this matter. "
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "If that's the case, then there is no problem. Your Highness can go back and wait."
Xiang Li was stunned and said, "That's it?"
Chu Xiu asked, "What else do you want to do? Can you ambush and assassinate now? Can you fight against Xiang Chong's forces? "
Xiang Li laughed and said, "Of course not."
He couldn't do anything with the little power in his hands. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked for help from Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu spread his hands and said, "Since it can't be done, what else can you do besides staying there? Your Highness, you just need to go back and act. Continue acting like you are desperate. Don't let others suspect you. I believe that with your acting skills, there should be no problem. "
Hearing Chu Xiu say this, Xiang Li could only go back sneakily. for Xiang Li. Although he was still a little nervous, he had no other choice but to trust Xiu.
After Xiang Li left, Mei Qinglian walked in and said, "Xiang Qinglian, Xiu, is to do. After Li had left, Mei Qinglian.
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I talk so much nonsense with him?"
Chu Xiu waved his hand and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He said, "They should be making their move. Xiang Long has already made his move. We cannot just sit here and wait for death."
"What should we do first?"
Mei Qinglian was also very straightforward. Since Chu Xiu had a plan, the others in Zhenwu Hall could only cooperate. After all, Chu Xiu was the core of the entire Zhenwu Hall.
"Very simple. Help me find out what Daoist Wuyang has been up to recently."
…
At this moment, Daoist Wuyang was preparing to flee. That's right, flee.
Recently, Daoist Wuyang had been keeping a low profile. To be more precise, it wasn't that he didn't want to be high profile, but reality didn't allow it. The Northern Yan was in a mess recently, with experts emerging in large numbers. With Daoist Wuyang and the Shadow Mountain Sect's meager resources, he couldn't afford to be high profile.
In fact, Daoist Wuwang had joined the Northern Yan long ago. In fact, when the Northern Yan allied with the Northern Yan Jianghu, he had joined the Northern Yan Jianghu.
That was because the Northern Yan Kingdom was the only one among the Three Kingdoms that was willing to cooperate with the Jianghu. Regardless of whether they were righteous or evil, they would not reject anyone.
Later on, when Xiang Long and the Northern Yan Jianghu fell out, Daoist Wuyang still chose to follow Xiang Long closely. There was only one reason: he really had nowhere else to go.
The Shadow Mountain Sect had offended the Kunlun Devil Cult, which was equivalent to offending the Hidden Devil Sect. Moreover, because of their orthodoxy, they were hated and targeted by Daoism. In the vast Jianghu, if the Shadow Mountain Sect dared to directly establish their own sect, who knew when Daoism and the Hidden Devil Sect would come looking for trouble with them.
Therefore, when Xiang Long promised that the Shadow Mountain Sect could become the national religion of the Northern Yan, he had always followed Xiang Long closely.
Unfortunately, even though Daoist Wuyang wasn't young anymore, he was still toyed around by Xiang Long. He had been tricked by Xiang Long for more than ten years.
From the beginning, Xiang Long's attitude towards these martial sects was to make use of them. He had never treated them as one of his own.
Even if Daoist Wuyang waited his entire life, he wouldn't be able to become the national religion.
It was all thanks to Chu Xiu that he could truly see Xiang Long's thoughts.
After the last court session, when Daoist Wuyang saw Xiang Long's methods, his first reaction was that he should leave.
The waters of the Northern Yan were getting murkier and murkier. There was no longer a place for the Shadow Mountain Sect to stay.
Of the three sects of Daoism, Buddhism, and Devil, the Shadow Mountain Sect had enmity with two of them. This place was practically a hell.
Moreover, Xiang Long was now on the verge of death. It was still unknown what the new Emperor's attitude towards him would be after he ascended to the throne. If he didn't leave now, when would he?
When a disciple reported that Chu Xiu had come to visit, Daoist Wuyang was stunned. He instinctively thought that Chu Xiu had come to find trouble with him.
Although he believed that he had not offended Chu Xiu during this period of time, and even when others were hitting Chu Xiu while he was down, his Shadow Mountain Sect still maintained a neutral stance. However, with Chu Xiu's reputation, for him to suddenly visit them would not be a good thing.
However, since Chu Xiu had come personally, he had to meet him. He could only have someone bring Chu Xiu in.
Seeing the disciples of the Shadow Mountain Sect busily packing up, Chu Xiu asked in surprise, "Daoist Wuyang, are you preparing to leave?"
Daoist Wuyang smiled bitterly and nodded. "What can I do if I don't leave? Am I going to be hated by others if I stay here? It's better to leave on my own than to be chased away by others. "
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Then, Daoist, are you willing to part with the foundation that you've worked so hard for in the Northern Yan all these years?"
Actually, the Shadow Mountain Sect did not have much of a foundation to speak of in the Northern Yan. After all, they had joined the Northern Yan in secret, unlike Chu Xiu's Martial Suppression Hall, which was directly in the open.
However, after so many years, the disciples of the Shadow Mountain Sect had become familiar with the Northern Yan. Even Daoist Wuyang did not know where to go when they were suddenly asked to leave.
Daoist Wuyang said indifferently, "So what if I can't bear to? Official Chu, don't tell me you can't sense the current environment in the Northern Yan? I should say that Official Chu, your troubles are the greatest. Are you not anxious, Official Chu? "
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "If there's trouble, then solve it. Can a living person die from holding his urine?
Daoist Wuyang, if you leave now, there will be no place in the martial world for you.
Perhaps there will be, but it will be very troublesome. So, you might as well stay in the Northern Yan.
The ownership of the throne, who will win and who will lose, these are still unknown. "
Daoist Wuyang was not stupid. When he heard Chu Xiu's words, he was instantly shocked. "You're going to interfere in the fight for the throne?"
Chu Xiu nodded. "What else? Sitting and waiting for death is not my style. "
Daoist Wuyang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but not a single word came out.
Although he wanted to say that Chu Xiu was very daring, the problem was that this was not the first time that Chu Xiu had done something so daring, and he had always succeeded.
Once was reckless, twice was bold, and when it came to the third time, it meant that he had a card up his sleeve.
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Daoist Wuyang, I won't hide it from you. I'm going to interfere in the fight for the throne in the Northern Yan, and I need your help now.
Of course, I won't force you. If you trust me, then stay in the Northern Yan. If we work together, there will be a place for you in the Northern Yan court.
If you're afraid that you can't afford the gamble, I can understand. But after leaving the Northern Yan, the days of the Shadow Mountain Sect will not be easy. "
Daoist Wuyang gritted his teeth and thought. He was actually in a dilemma.
Previously, when he was an enemy of Chu Xiu, he was beaten up by Chu Xiu. Even when news of Chu Xiu's death came, he did not dare to hit the Subduing Martial Hall when they were down.
It was because fear of a person would also give rise to a certain kind of confidence in him.
If this matter was brought up by someone else, Daoist Wuyang would definitely reject it without a second thought. But since it was Chu Xiu who brought it up, it was worth considering.
At this moment, Chu Xiu said, "Daoist Wuyang, if you agree to work together with me, then we'll be on the same side. I can also promise you that the grudge between the Shadow Mountain Sect and the Kunlun Devil Cult will be written off."
Daoist Wuyang raised his head and looked at Chu Xiu. "Are you serious? You can represent the entire Hidden Devil Clan? "
In the past, the Shadow Mountain Sect had offended Dugu Weiwei, the Kunlun Devil Cult.
Back then, the Shadow Mountain Sect had already burned incense to the heavens for not being destroyed. But because of the grudge in the past, the Hidden Devil Clan was still unwilling to let the Shadow Mountain Sect go.
If this grudge was resolved, it could even be said that the Shadow Mountain Sect had removed half of its karma.
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "I'm now the heir of the Hidden Devil Clan. Do you think my words can represent the Hidden Devil Clan? And even if there are different voices, it doesn't matter. Everywhere depends on strength. Now, in the Hidden Devil Clan, the one standing behind me is Elder Wei. My clan is the strongest, so my words mean what I say! "
After receiving Chu Xiu's affirmation, Daoist Wuyang gritted his teeth and said, "Alright then, this humble Daoist will bet on this. I hope that Official Chu, you won't disappoint this humble Daoist!"
Chu Xiu smiled faintly and said, "Daoist, don't worry. As long as it's someone who has worked with me before, there won't be any disappointment."
Daoist Wuyang did not beat around the bush. He said directly, "Do you have any plans now? What should our first step be? "
Chu Xiu stretched out a finger and said, "Of course there needs to be a plan. But it has to be done step by step.
The first step is for you to join Xiang Chong's side.
Everyone knows about the grudge between us. On the contrary, not many people know about the secret agreement between us.
It's reasonable for you to seek refuge with Xiang Chong now. No one can find anything suspicious about it. "
