Lü Hau Chang was frightened by Yun Mengzi's words. In fact, Yun Mengzi was not trying to scare Lü Hau Chang, but 800 years ago, this kind of trick was very common.
Perhaps Chu Xiu himself did not know that he used the people of Jianghu to support the Crown Prince in exchange for his own interests, which was actually very old-fashioned.
After gathering all the officials, Lü Hau Chang told all these things to the officials of Eastern Qi. Finally, the officials of Eastern Qi also came to a conclusion.
They agreed to the plan of Taoism!
Yun Mengzi's words were not alarmist talk, but it was indeed very possible.
In the past, when Eastern Qi and Northern Yan fought, Xiang Long relied on the power of Northern Yan Jianghu to turn the tables.
But at that time, Xiang Long only relied on a group of scattered Northern Yan Jianghu forces. And now, Northern Yan had the support of the entire Hidden Devil Clan, which was much stronger than before.
Regardless of whether Chu Xiu had this intention or not, his existence was a threat.
And the officials of Eastern Qi actually had their own thoughts.
Lü Hau Chang sought stability in mediocrity, but it did not mean that the people of Eastern Qi Imperial Court did not have the ambition to expand their territory.
They sat on the rich and powerful Central Plains, but watched the rise of Northern Yan, and could not do anything to West Chu. For them, this was simply a shame and a waste.
It was not easy for His Majesty to change his usual gentle attitude and was ready to take action. How could they refuse?
When Eastern Qi was surging, Chu Xiu was still in a state of closed-door cultivation.
Watching so many experts fight in the Primitive Demon Cave, for Chu Xiu, it was not small.
But the battle between Zhong Shenxiu and Jun Wushen was the most important, but Chu Xiu was embarrassed to find that he could not understand it.
It was only at this moment that Chu Xiu came to a sudden realization. The connection between him and Dugu Weiwo was much closer than he had imagined.
Dugu Weiwei's strength was not as good as Zhong Shenxiu's and Jun Wushen's. After all, Chu Xiu was not a person of this realm. He could not be sure who was stronger or weaker, but at least they should be on the same level.
Chu Xiu had seen several illusions related to Dugu Weiwo. Every time, he would be able to comprehend something from it. Even if he couldn't understand it, he would still be able to learn it. For example, the blade intent of the word 'Break'.
But watching the battle between Zhong Shenxiu and Jun Wushen, Chu Xiu could only stare dumbfounded. There was nothing he could do.
Of course, most of the martial artists present were dumbfounded. Even at Shang Tianliang's realm, he still couldn't understand the power of the battle between the two. This made Shang Tianliang constantly sigh after he came back. There was always someone stronger than him. Although his strength was several times stronger than when he was in Lv Du, he was still far from being complacent.
At this moment, the door to Chu Xiu's seclusion chamber was suddenly knocked open. Mei Qinglian walked in with a dignified expression and said, "Eastern Qi has deployed troops to the border and is preparing to attack Northern Yan."
Chu Xiu waved his hand indifferently and said, "Attack then attack. Haven't there been many conflicts between the two sides over the years?
Before, with Xiang Long around, Eastern Qi did not dare to act. After all, Xiang Long's prestige was still there.
But now that Xiang Long is dead, Eastern Qi will definitely stir up a wave of trouble. This is normal.
Although I helped Xiang Li ascend to the throne, the Northern Yan court still belongs to him. I am not his fighter. If he really can't hold on any longer, then it won't be too late to make a move. "
Mei Qinglian shook her head and said, "There is something wrong this time. Eastern Qi has deployed troops to the border not only to attack Northern Yan, but also to attack you!"
Chu Xiu frowned and said, "Me? What grudge do I have with Eastern Qi? "
Mei Qinglian said, "You have no grudge with Eastern Qi, but you have a grudge with the righteous martial arts world!
Do you know what slogan Eastern Qi used to launch a crusade against Northern Yan?
They said that Northern Yan used you, a demon, to stir up chaos in the Northern Yan court and bring disaster to the people of the Northern Yan.
They attacked Northern Yan to save the people of the Northern Land from the demon's wrath.
Most importantly, this incident was started by Chunyang Dao Sect and Real Martial Arts Sect. The righteous martial arts world of Eastern Qi is full of support.
Do you still think that this has nothing to do with you? "
Chu Xiu frowned. This matter, of course, had something to do with him. It should be said that they came for him!
But Chu Xiu was very confused. What was wrong with Chunyang Dao Sect and Real Martial Arts Sect? Why did they have to attack him at this time? Logically speaking, Ye Shaonan, who had obtained the Demonic Seed, should have attracted more hatred than him.
Mei Qinglian said again, "The Northern Yan court is waiting for you to attend a meeting. I guess they are panicking."
Chu Xiu nodded. He did not have time to think too much and headed straight for the Northern Yan Palace.
At this time, in the Northern Yan palace, besides Xiang Li, Xiang Chong, Beigong Baili, and other members of the Northern Yan royal family, the military, and other forces were also there.
The army of Eastern Qi was pressing down on the Northern Yan. This was a very tricky matter for all the people in the Northern Yan.
Although Northern Yan had won the war under the leadership of Xiang Long, this victory was actually only for himself. For Eastern Qi, it was not a serious loss at all.
In the end, Eastern Qi did not continue the war because they did not want to suffer too much damage. Moreover, Lü Hau Chang was a steady character. If Northern Yan tore off a piece of his flesh, then so be it. Anyway, they could not kill him.
Now that Eastern Qi had made a comeback, it was unknown whether Northern Yan could stop them again.
Seeing that Official Chu Xiu had finally arrived, Xiang Li hurriedly said, "Official Chu, please take a seat. Regarding the matter of Eastern Qi, do you have any thoughts, Official Chu?"
Xiang Li was panicking. He felt like crying, but no tears would come.
It had not been easy for him to be the emperor.
Before he ascended to the throne, he had gone through a bloody battle to get to this position.
After becoming the emperor, Xiang Li did not have the time to enjoy power and other things. He had just ascended to the throne, and there were too many things for him to learn.
He did not expect to be better than his father, Xiang Long, but he did not want to lose to Eastern Qi's Lü Hau Chang either.
But before he could finish his work, the news that Eastern Qi was about to launch a large-scale attack came. This almost made Xiang Li cry.
This was not the way to bully others.
Xiang Long had been defeated by Eastern Qi for so many years, but none of them came to avenge him. Now, as soon as he became the emperor, they came to attack him. Picking the soft persimmon to bully?
Xiang Chong snorted coldly and said, "Your Majesty, you're still asking him if he has any thoughts? Haven't you realized that Chu Xiu was the one who started this war? Diabolism is not tolerated in the Pugilistic World. Chu Xiu had enjoyed enough glory in the Pugilistic World and brought back a body full of hatred. In the end, the karma still fell on us Northern Yan! "
Although Xiang Chong had supported Xiang Li's ascension to the throne, and was even grateful that Chu Xiu did not take back his rights to the Imperial Worship Hall, he still could not stand to see Chu Xiu.
This was partly because of Xiang Long. Xiang Chong had never interacted with Chu Xiu before, but when Xiang Long was about to die, Xiang Long had spoken ill of Chu Xiu and was very wary of him.
First impressions were the strongest. Coupled with his failure in the fight for the throne, it would be strange if Xiang Chong was friendly to Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu sneered and said, "Your Highness, you have a guilty conscience. Think about it. Even without me, Eastern Qi would not have attacked Northern Yan.
When the late Emperor was still around, Eastern Qi did not dare to act rashly because of the late Emperor's reputation. But now that the late Emperor is gone, have you ever thought that Eastern Qi would not make a move?
The Northern Yan is not as strong as Eastern Qi. They will definitely join forces with the Northern Yan Pugilistic World like the late Emperor. When that time comes, won't I have to make a move?
Moreover, Eastern Qi has already suffered once. Will they suffer again? Eastern Qi will definitely make use of the power of Eastern Qi's Pugilistic World.
Dao Sect is the national religion of Eastern Qi. Do you think Chunyang Dao Sect and Martial Arts Sect will not make a move? No matter how you think about it, the result will be the same. Why should I, Chu Xiu, be the scapegoat? "
Chu Xiu's words reversed the cause and effect. There was nothing wrong with what he said. Everyone felt that it made sense. In fact, they did think that Eastern Qi would make a move after Xiang Long's death. They even took precautions for a period of time. However, during that period, Eastern Qi did not make any moves. Who knew that just when they relaxed a little, Eastern Qi had already deployed their troops at the border.
But in fact, Eastern Qi's attack on Northern Yan was Chu Xiu's fault.
The people of Northern Yan thought too highly of Lv Haochang. His greatest wish in this life was to sit firmly on the throne of the Emperor. He would sit there without any achievements or mistakes until he died. He would leave the unification of the world to the next generation.
Therefore, even after Xiang Long's death, he only threw a big banquet and slept with three new beauties. He did not do anything else after that.
If it was not for Yun Mengzi and the others' encouragement, Eastern Qi would not have made a move.
Xiang Chong glared at Chu Xiu. Chu Xiu's words were so reasonable that he did not know how to refute it.
Xiang Li hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Uncle, Official Chu, both of you are doing this for the good of Northern Yan. It is not a matter of who is responsible. But now that Eastern Qi's army is approaching our borders, we have to come up with a solution no matter what."
Hearing Xiang Li's words, Xiang Chong did not continue to target Chu Xiu. But at the same time, he did not have any good ideas.
He had spent most of his life in the Imperial Worship Hall, practicing martial arts. He did not care much about other things. He could kill people, but he was really not good at other things.
Therefore, Xiang Li turned his eyes to Chu Xiu. He had great confidence in Chu Xiu. After all, this man had been through several wars between the righteous and the demonic, and had stirred up countless storms in the Jianghu. No one would doubt Chu Xiu's strength, let alone his ability.
Chu Xiu thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Different situations call for different measures. It is no big deal.
Don't forget, the Northern Yan now is much stronger than the Northern Yan of decades ago. Back then, the Northern Yan was able to stop Eastern Qi. Why can't they do it now?
Because of the involvement of the Jianghu, we have to deal with both the Jianghu and the battlefield at the same time.
Leave the Jianghu to me, and the battlefield to General Beigong.
Moreover, the policies that the former Emperor made for the Northern Yan are the most suitable for the Northern Yan. There is no harm in using them again. "
Xiang Li was puzzled. "What policies?"
Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said, "Combine vertical and horizontal."
