A total of seven True Fire Spirit Refinement Realm experts were fighting in the West Chu Imperial Palace. Even though they had restrained their strength, they still managed to destroy the entire palace's array.
Meng Yuncheng finally couldn't take it anymore. He angrily shouted, "Stop! All of you stop! "
This was the West Chu Imperial Palace and he was the West Chu Emperor. In the end, this group of people were fighting in front of him, was there still any law? Were they not putting him in their eyes? This was too much of a bully!
Meng Yuncheng was the emperor after all and these two groups of people needed his help. Seeing that Meng Yuncheng was truly angry, both sides could only stop.
Xiang Chong saw that Shen Baochen and Yan Zhi had retreated and he let out a sigh of relief.
If they had continued fighting, he would have died here.
At this time, Yuwen Fu was staring at Donghuang Taiyi.
Who would believe you!
Who was the one who said they wouldn't fight?
Donghuang Taiyi sensed Yu Wenfu's gaze. He shrugged and pointed at Senior Qing, implying that he would only promise that he wouldn't attack, but if that old man wanted to cause trouble for him, he couldn't just let himself be captured, could he?
Meng Yuncheng let out a long sigh and said, "I say everyone, can't we just talk things out? Why do you have to fight? My West Chu is a small country and you want to force this emperor to take a side. This emperor doesn't know what to do. "
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "I know this is difficult for Your Majesty, so I won't make any promises. I just want to ask Your Majesty a few questions."
Meng Yuncheng was stunned and said, "Official Chu, please speak."
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Between the righteous and demonic sects, Your Majesty doesn't need to consider the matters of the pugilistic world. The pugilistic world is the pugilistic world and the court is the court. I just want to ask Your Majesty, without considering the righteous and demonic sects, if Eastern Qi attacks the Northern Yan, will West Chu help or not? "
Meng Yuncheng immediately said, "Help! Of course we have to help, the teeth are cold without the lips. If the Northern Yan is destroyed, with our West Chu's strength, we will be destroyed within three months with a hundred percent certainty. "
Meng Yuncheng was very clear about his own power. Sometimes, the Northern Yan called themselves the Great Yan, and sometimes, the Eastern Qi called themselves the Great Qi. Only West Chu, whether it was internally or externally, would always call themselves West Chu. They had never called themselves the Great Chu, because they knew that with West Chu's power, they could not afford to be called Great.
Chu Xiu asked again, "Then, Your Majesty, do you think that Eastern Qi will be coerced and controlled by the Jianghu forces after so many years of dealing with Eastern Qi?"
Meng Yuncheng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Of course not. As the overlord of the Central Plains, the Eastern Qi imperial court, the Eastern Qi imperial family is definitely not weak.
And Lord Chu, to put it bluntly, don't think that you're the supreme leader of the martial arts world in the land of Northern Yan, ruling over the Jianghu of Northern Yan. But in the Northern Yan Imperial Court, you don't have the final say, do you?
You can support a direct descendant of the Xiang imperial family to ascend to the throne, but don't even think about supporting a branch to ascend to the throne.
Only when what you do does not cross the bottom line of the Northern Yan imperial court, and is in line with their interests, will there be no conflict between you two.
Otherwise, the Northern Yan imperial family will not allow the power to fall into the hands of an outsider, even at the cost of a life-and-death struggle. "
Hearing Meng Yuncheng's words, Xiang Chong couldn't help but puff out his chest.
As an emperor, Meng Yuncheng could see these things clearly, even more clearly than Xiang Chong.
This time, when Chu Xiu helped Xiang Li seize the throne, it was within the bounds of the rules. That was why he could succeed and gain the approval of the entire Northern Yan imperial court.
But if he did not follow the rules and supported a person who was not qualified to ascend to the throne, or an outsider to ascend to the throne, he would definitely suffer the backlash of the entire Northern Yan imperial family and the imperial court, even to the point of a life-and-death struggle.
After he finished speaking, Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "If that's the case, then why is Your Majesty still hesitating? Has Your Majesty not seen the cause and effect of this? "
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Meng Yuncheng's expression changed slightly. Clearly, he had thought of something.
Meng Yuncheng was not a mediocre person. On the contrary, he was much smarter than Lü Hau Chang, and more daring. It was just that Western Chu was inherently weak. Even if it was a hero like Xiang Long, he would not be able to reverse the situation.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Meng Yuncheng understood the meaning of Chu Xiu's words.
If Eastern Qi attacked Northern Yan, Western Chu would not sit idly by, just like the war between the three countries.
No matter what promises Eastern Qi made, Western Chu would not believe them.
On the contrary, if Northern Yan was more powerful than Eastern Qi, then Western Chu would help Northern Yan.
This time, Meng Yuncheng was hesitant because it was not only because of the interests and grudges between the three countries, but also because of the Jianghu, as well as the conflict between the orthodox and the devil. That was why Meng Yuncheng was so hesitant.
But Chu Xiu's second question reminded him that the Jianghu was the Jianghu, and the imperial court was the imperial court. The two could work together, but they should also look at each other separately.
The orthodox martial arts world could not influence the decisions of the Eastern Qi imperial court. Now, both sides were working together because they had a common goal.
The orthodox martial arts world wanted to destroy Chu Xiu, the devil, and Eastern Qi was coveting Northern Yan.
If Western Chu did not intervene this time and allowed Eastern Qi to destroy Northern Yan, then Eastern Qi's next target would be Western Chu!
Just like what Meng Yuncheng said, at that time, Western Chu would not even last for three months.
Don't be fooled by the righteous sects' high-sounding words, like they were worried about the common people and were afraid that people would be plunged into misery and suffering.
But once Eastern Qi attacked Western Chu, let's not talk about whether they would intervene. Even if they really wanted to intervene, would Eastern Qi listen to them? Would they stop their footsteps to unify the world?
Even if Lü Hau Chang was fatuous, even if he was an idiot, would he stop if he was only half a step away from unifying the world and accomplishing the great feat that Eastern Qi's previous emperors had failed to achieve?
At that time, other than surrendering, Western Chu would have no other way out.
Never put your future in the hands of others. Meng Yuncheng was very clear about this point.
After a long while, Meng Yuncheng let out a long sigh and said to Senior Qing and the others, "Everyone, I'm sorry. Western Chu does not want to intervene in the martial arts world's disputes, nor do we want to interfere in the feud between the orthodox and the evil. But Eastern Qi is Western Chu's archenemy. If the lips are gone, the teeth will be interdependent. I know this. So if Eastern Qi sends troops to Northern Yan, Western Chu will also send troops to Eastern Qi! "
Without waiting for Senior Qing and the others to continue, Meng Yuncheng said in a low voice, "Yuwen Fu!"
"Here!"
Yuwen Fu immediately straightened his plump body and stepped in front of Meng Yuncheng at an extremely fast speed.
"From tomorrow onwards, Langya Army will immediately move to the border of Eastern Qi. At the same time, gather the Western Chu Army and send troops to Eastern Qi!"
Hearing Meng Yuncheng's words, Senior Qing and the others all shook their heads.
As the Western Chu Emperor, Meng Yuncheng still had this bit of decisiveness. Once he decided on something, he would not change his mind.
Moreover, they were all sects from Western Chu and usually had a good relationship with the Western Chu Imperial Court. Naturally, they knew Meng Yuncheng's difficulties.
This time, Meng Yuncheng could not be blamed for choosing to stand on the side of the evil. He only chose to stand on the side of Northern Yan. If there was anything to blame, it could only be said that Eastern Qi was too strong. Anyone would feel threatened by it.
So when they heard Meng Yuncheng's decision, they did not say anything harsh. They just cupped their hands and left.
Of course, they still did not have a good attitude towards Chu Xiu, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the others.
After Senior Qing and the others left, Meng Yuncheng turned to Chu Xiu and the others and said amiably, "This is Official Chu's first time coming to Eastern Qi. We will order people to prepare a banquet to entertain you."
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Many thanks for Your Majesty's kindness, but Eastern Qi's army has already arrived. Perhaps they have already started fighting. Time is of the essence and we must go back to support them."
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Meng Yuncheng did not insist and let Chu Xiu and the others leave first.
After everyone had left, Meng Yuncheng suddenly slumped down on the dragon throne, looking extremely exhausted.
"Your Majesty!"
Yuwen Fu hurried to greet him.
Meng Yuncheng shook his head and said, "We are fine. We just feel a little sad.
The battle between the righteous and demonic factions, the struggle between Eastern Qi and Northern Yan, clearly has nothing to do with our West Chu, but every time it involves our West Chu soldiers and generals.
Chu Xiu has a saying that has spread far and wide in the pugilistic world. In the pugilistic world, being weak is a sin in itself.
This saying is also suitable for our West Chu.
Being weak is a great sin!
We do not ask for our West Chu to unify the world. We only ask for our West Chu to one day be recognized by everyone and not be reduced to a foil in every war. We don't even have the right to choose whether to fight or not! "
Seeing Meng Yuncheng's emotional expression, Yuwen Fu also sighed.
He was an old man in the West Chu court. In his early years, he was a bandit in the pugilistic world. When he was seriously injured, he was rescued by the previous emperor. Since then, he had been loyal to the Meng family.
He had watched Meng Yuncheng grow up. He knew that the emperor's ability and wisdom were definitely not bad. He even felt that the emperor was not inferior to the current world's hero, Xiang Long.
The only difference was that Xiang Long had the leeway to display his abilities, while Meng Yuncheng did not even have the leeway to display his abilities.
But this was also the sorrow of a small country. They had no choice but to go with the flow.
It was just like what Chu Xiu had said. Being weak was a sin to begin with. Being able to survive was already something that one should thank the heavens and earth for.
At this time, Chu Xiu did not know that Meng Yuncheng was so emotional because of his words in the past.
He did not have time to waste. He and Xiang Chong rushed back to Northern Yan as fast as possible.
But before they reached Northern Yan, they saw the Northern Yan military waiting for them at the border. They told them that Eastern Qi had begun to attack!
And this attack was from all directions. The border between Eastern Qi and Northern Yan, the Guanzhong torture room, and the Wei County were attacked at the same time. Among them, the Guanzhong torture room was about to collapse!
