At that moment, in the Liyang Palace, the King of Shu, Ji Yanxiu, was holding his head, feeling helpless.
He had been chased away from the center of power ever since he became an adult at the age of 18.
Now, it had been seven years. Seeing that his brothers had already monopolized power in Shengjing City, he himself was wasting his time in the land of Shu. His own power was growing at a snail's pace. This made Ji Yanxiu seriously doubt whether or not he was really a good-for-nothing.
"Wen Yu, do you think I should give up? Actually, it's not bad to be an idle Master for the rest of your life, "Ji Yanxiu said to the old eunuch beside him with a worried expression.
Although Ji Yanxiu seemed weak among the many princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was not as if he didn't have any power behind him.
In fact, his mother's previous family was the Marquis of Huaishan, a founding marquis of the Zhou Kingdom. They were considered quite powerful among the many nobles of the Zhou Kingdom.
Unfortunately, his mother died of illness when he was young, so he was not liked by Ji Haodian.
Moreover, after his mother's side, the first Marquis of Huaishan, died of illness, the family gradually declined, so the help he received was minimal.
The old eunuch beside him, Wen Yu, was the last bit of power his mother left him.
Although Wen Yu was in his 70s or 80s, he was at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm, so he looked like he was in his 40s. He did not look old at all.
He had followed the first Marquis of Huaishan since he was young, and then began to take care of Ji Yanxiu's mother.
In the end, he was even willing to enter the palace to serve Ji Yanxiu's mother. After Ji Yanxiu was born, he was also the one who raised her. It could be said that Wen Yu had taken care of Ji Yanxiu's family for three generations. He was absolutely loyal.
Seeing Ji Yanxiu like this, Wen Yu hurriedly said, "Master, don't think like that. Since ancient times, the fight for the throne is not something you can quit just because you want to. You want to be an idle Master for the rest of your life, but I'm afraid others don't want you to be so stable and leisurely.
In the previous dynasty of Eastern Jin, how many of the royal families were able to pass on the throne safely? Wasn't it accompanied by generation after generation of bloodshed?
It's one thing for the side branches of the royal family to think this way, but you, Master, are His Majesty's own children. No matter who ascends the throne, the others will definitely be eliminated.
Unless you become a complete cripple, unable to pose a threat to him at all. Only then will you barely be able to keep your life. But are you willing to be a cripple? "
Ji Yanxiu shook his head. Of course, he was unwilling. However, he was now stronger than he was. He was kicked to a place like the Sichuan Path, and his own forces were developing slowly. He reckoned that by the time his other brothers started to fight for the throne, he would still be in this remote Sichuan Path.
Wen Yu consoled, "Don't worry, Master. The Dancing Willow Sword Sect and a few other sects are already interested in cooperating with us. When their disciples come to help us, we will soon be able to control the power of the Sichuan Path."
Ji Yanxiu looked a little better. At this moment, a servant suddenly came in and reported, "Master, someone claiming to be the inspector of Six Doors, Su Xin, has come to see you."
Wen Yu and Ji Yanxiu looked at each other, and a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes.
Wen Yu was very confused as to why Su Xin would come here, while Ji Yanxiu had no idea who Su Xin was.
Ji Yanxiu had been in Sichuan Path for a long time, but the Six Doors of Sichuan Path had nothing to do with him.
Qiu Baichuan would not stand on his side at all, so Ji Yanxiu did not know much about the local Six Doors of Sichuan Path, let alone the outside world. He only felt that the name Su Xin sounded a little familiar.
Wen Yu was now the chief steward of the King of Shu's Residence. He was also at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm, so he was naturally more sensitive to everything in Jianghu. Therefore, he still knew about Su Xin's identity.
Wen Yu coughed and said, "Go and invite Lord Su to the living room first."
After giving the order to the servants, Wen Yu said to Ji Yanxiu, "Your Highness, Su Xin, the inspector of the Six Doors, is not that simple. I'll give you a rough introduction."
Wen Yu roughly told Ji Yanxiu about Su Xin's resume, lest Ji Yanxiu misspeak when she saw Su Xin.
Ji Yanxiu was surprised after listening to Su Xin's resume. This young man, who was about the same age as him, was really not simple.
He grew from a rogue cultivator to the famous chief constable of Jiangnan Path. He was also once the first on the Ranking List of Young Masters and was now a martial arts master who had stepped into the Divine Transformation Realm.
Compared to Su Xin, Ji Yanxiu felt that he really could not compare with Su Xin except for his background.
Ji Yanxiu touched his chin and said, "Then why do you think Su Xin is here this time?"
Wen Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but for the time being, let's not change anything."
Ji Yanxiu nodded and followed Wen Yu out to meet Su Xin.
At this time, although Su Xin had been waiting in the living room for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he was not in a hurry at all.
Seeing Ji Yanxiu and Wen Yu coming out of the inner hall, Su Xin cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Your Highness, King of Shu and Eunuch Wen."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Yanxiu and Wen Yu's faces suddenly became a little ugly.
Su Xin used the word "greet" instead of "greet". Although it was only a word, it was very particular.
It was true that Su Xin was the chief constable of Jiangnan Path, and he also held the position of inspector. He was very popular in the Six Doors, and everyone in the Jianghu knew him.
But no matter what, Ji Yanxiu was the prince of the Zhou Kingdom, the King of Shu of the imperial court. Because he was a subject, he did not need to greet him, but used the tone of "greeting". This was too disrespectful to Ji Yanxiu.
Wen Yu said with a gloomy face, "Lord Su, as a public servant, don't you understand the hierarchy? How can you offend the King of Shu? "
Su Xin had an indifferent expression on his face, "Eunuch Wen's words are incorrect. Seniority also depends on strength.
Please forgive me for being straightforward, but a Master who is trapped in a corner, far away from the power center of Shengjing City, and may even be completely purged in the future does not seem to deserve the respect of a chief constable with real power. "
"How dare you!"
Wen Yu shouted in a sharp voice and immediately made a move. The Pure Yang Gang Qi around him soared, and the saber in his left hand suddenly slashed out. The sun was shining high, and the power was unparalleled.
Since Su Xin wanted to come to the King of Shu's Mansion, he certainly had some understanding of Wen Yu, the number one expert in the King of Shu's Mansion.
This old eunuch was not simple. Although he was a eunuch, he had cultivated an extremely powerful Pure Yang Gang Qi. His attack was like the sun shining high, and the power was boundless.
Su Xin's left-handed sword was extremely strange and vicious, but Wen Yu's left-handed saber was extremely fierce.
As the saber Qi approached, the scorching Pure Yang Gang Qi seemed to be roasting Su Xin completely. His True Qi was extremely powerful.
Su Xin pointed with his finger, and the sky was filled with finger shadows. The Pure Yang Gang Qi melted in it.
When Su Xin's index finger touched Wen Yu's short saber, it suddenly made a soft sound. Wen Yu was shocked to find that his short saber, which was a Mystic Level Weapon, actually made a mournful sound!
Wen Yu retracted his saber and took out a long saber from his right hand.
He, Wen Yu, was not just good at using the saber with his left hand!
With a cold look in his eyes, Wen Yu said coldly, "Lord Su, even if you are powerful, the King of Shu is not someone you can casually insult.
Even if I have to risk this old life of mine, I will not let you walk out of the King of Shu's Mansion! "
Su Xin took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "Eunuch Wen, don't be so angry. Are all people who cultivate Pure Yang Gang Qi so hot-tempered?
I have said before that seniority is something that can only be achieved with strength. Respect also depends on the other party's status and strength.
Eunuch Wen, you had to risk your life to make me stay when facing a constable like me from the Six Fan School. Therefore, I am sorry, the current strength of the King of Shu's Mansion makes it difficult for me to respect them. "
Seeing that Wen Yu was about to explode, Su Xin said unhurriedly, "So today, I am here to cooperate with the two of you."
Su Xin sat up straight and pointed to his nose with his finger. "I can help you win respect."
Wen Yu had already drawn out the saber on his right hand halfway, but he suddenly stopped when he heard this.
Wen Yu looked at Su Xin with a strange look. He could not figure out what Su Xin meant.
Logically speaking, if you are here to cooperate with us, you should know what position you are in.
But now that you are here to cooperate with us, you take the initiative to provoke us. What is this?
This was the first time Wen Yu had met someone who did not play by the rules.
Wen Yu turned his gaze to Ji Yanxiu. Of course, this kind of matter was also up to Ji Yanxiu to make the decision.
Ji Yanxiu waved his hand, indicating for Wen Yu to stop first. He said to Su Xin with a slightly gloomy expression, "You said that you are here to cooperate with us, but I will also ask you a question.
You are only the chief constable of Jiangnan, and your current position of Patrol is just an empty promise. You can't even command a single person in Bashu, so how are you going to cooperate with me? What qualifications do you have to cooperate with me? "
Su Xin said indifferently, "Do you think that my name, Su Xin, is enough, Your Highness, the King of Shu?"
Su Xin's words were very arrogant, but Ji Yanxiu opened his mouth, but did not know how to refute.
After all, Su Xin really could not find any fault in his resume.
If others said this, it would be arrogant and conceited, but for Su Xin, who had once overturned the entire Jiangnan, these words became confidence.
Sheathing his dagger, Wen Yu said coldly, "If I haven't forgotten, Lord Su's main purpose for coming to the Bashu Path as the Patrol Envoy is to seize power.
But everyone in Bashu knows that Qiu Baichuan is like a local tyrant, and his words are even more absolute in the Six Gates of Bashu. Lord Su, you are now riding a tiger, and it is difficult to get off. What right do you have to cooperate with us? "
Su Xin shook his head and said, "Only when both sides benefit, then that is cooperation. I will help you gain strength, and you will help me deal with Qiu Baichuan. This is very reasonable."
