Su Xin's unconventional method of seeking cooperation made Wen Yu and Ji Yanxiu unable to keep up with him.
However, the two of them had no doubts about Su Xin's strength. After all, Su Xin's powerful background was there for all to see.
Ji Yanxiu said coldly, "Then how do you want to help me? Besides, do you know what This King wants? "
Su Xin shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you don't have to hide it anymore. Are you willing to be kicked out of the center of power by others and wait for your brother to take over the position to start a purge?
If you really want to be an idle Master, why bother trying to rope in those martial arts sects in Bashu?
Besides, when His Majesty dies and a prince inherits the throne, I'm afraid you won't be able to be an idle Master even if you want to. "
Ji Yanxiu did not say anything because what Su Xin said was indeed the truth. Wen Yu had told him this before.
Ji Yanxiu said impatiently, "Now tell me, how do you want to cooperate? You have to know that you, Su Xin, have come to Bashu alone. You can't even beat Qiu Baichuan, so what right do you have to say that you want to help us? "
Su Xin waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, don't worry about this. Since I have taken the initiative to ask for cooperation, I will naturally show my sincerity.
If the King of Shu wants to open up the situation in Bashu, I will help you. When the King of Shu really has a firm foothold in Bashu, you can help me. How about it? "
Wen Yu and Ji Yanxiu looked at each other. According to Su Xin's words, they did not seem to be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, Ji Yanxiu said, "Alright, we agree to cooperate, but how do you want to help me?"
Su Xin tapped the table with his finger and said, "Your Highness, don't blame me for being harsh. It's unbelievable that you haven't been able to open up the situation in Bashu for so long."
As soon as these words came out, Wen Yu and Ji Yanxiu's expressions turned ugly. Su Xin's words were no different from directly calling them trash.
However, Su Xin didn't care about their expressions and continued, "In my opinion, the conditions of the Bashu Sect can be said to be exceptional and very suitable for your development, King of Shu.
Firstly, Bashu was far away from the Emperor. The other princes were fighting to the death in Shengjing City. You could develop your power in Bashu with peace of mind.
Secondly, the Bashu Sect can be considered to be isolated from the outside world all year round. The only top-notch first-rate sect is the Bashu Sword Pavilion. The others are some of the local martial arts sects of the Bashu Sect. They are neither too strong nor too weak. They are all within the scope of control. "
Wen Yu furrowed his brows and said, "I know that too, but it's not that easy to execute.
Lord Su, since you've been the chief of detectives of Jiangnan, you should know the attitude of those sects in Jianghu towards us. Most of them would stay away from us even if they don't hate us.
Especially the martial arts sects of the Bashu Sect, they can be said to have a very stable life in Bashu Sect.
Ninety-nine percent of all the martial arts sects of the Bashu Sect have trained a large number of swordsmiths. Almost all the high-end swords in the entire martial arts world are produced in Bashu Sect. With this trade alone, the martial arts sects of Bashu Sect will not lack money or resources.
And because of this, the martial arts sects of Bashu Sect are not very keen on doing things that are too dangerous. Therefore, most of them will directly reject the solicitation of the King of Shu Palace. Only a small number of them will reveal some intentions of cooperation. "
Su Xin shook his head. Ji Yanxiu grew up in the palace, but whether it was strength or scheming, he could only be said to be mediocre.
Although this old eunuch's strength was not bad and he was loyal enough, he was far from being able to play tricks with these martial arts sects.
"Eunuch Wen, I can guarantee that even if those sects have expressed their intention to cooperate with you, they must be feigning civility and dilly-dallying without showing any real intentions, right?"
Wen Yu nodded with some hesitation. Su Xin said, "That's right. The reason why those martial arts sects revealed their intention to cooperate with the King of Shu Palace is just to fool you.
I believe that in order to attract these martial arts sects, Eunuch Wen and the King of Shu Palace have sold all kinds of cultivation resources issued by the imperial court to them at a low price or directly given them to them, right?
As a result, when you ask them for help, these martial arts sects will just find excuses to refuse, or say that as long as the King of Shu Palace decides to rise up, they will definitely follow you to kill their way into Shengjing City. So and so on, right? "
Wen Yu and Ji Yanxiu's faces suddenly became very ugly, because what Su Xin said was indeed the truth, even as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
In fact, so many details, of course, were not deduced by Su Xin, but found out by the spies of Six Fan School.
As soon as Su Xin saw the news, he immediately understood that Ji Yanxiu and Wen Yu had been fooled by those martial arts sects.
Most of the martial arts sects kept a respectful distance from them. Now that there were finally a few martial arts sects that had the intention to cooperate with them, Wen Yu and Ji Yanxiu of course rushed to recruit them, and even took out all kinds of cultivation resources issued by the imperial court to win them over.
But for those martial arts sects, Ji Yanxiu's behavior was foolish.
Anyway, if Ji Yanxiu and the others needed help from these martial arts sects, they would start to perfunctorily, and they did not say whether they had decided to officially join the King of Shu Palace.
As for what they said, when Ji Yanxiu rose up in Bashu, they would definitely attach themselves to her, which was even more of a joke.
The emperor of the Zhou Kingdom, Ji Haodian, was not dead yet. Besides, even if Ji Haodian died, there were still several brothers under Ji Yanxiu who had the ability to compete for the throne. No matter what, it would not be Ji Yanxiu's turn.
At that time, if Ji Yanxiu was really stupid enough to dare to rise up, who would dare to approach her?
Ji Yanxiu snorted coldly and said, "Then what do you want to do? Now, the only ones who are likely to join us are these few. If we don't win them over, I reckon that the King of Shu Palace will really be alone in Bashu. "
Su Xin shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you still don't understand. Blindly showing kindness will only make others feel that you are weak and completely treat you as a fool.
Moreover, this method may work in other places, but not in Bashu.
The martial arts sects in Bashu have been at ease for too long. They have no intention of leaving Bashu. No matter how many benefits you give them, they will not truly rely on you. "
A cold light flashed in Su Xin's eyes, "Therefore, the only thing we can do now is to kill! Kill them until they are terrified and have no choice but to rely on you. Let them know that if they do not rely on you, the King of Shu, in Bashu, only death awaits them! "
Ji Yanxiu and Wen Yu immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. This Su Xin really had the guts to say such words. With their meager strength, could they possibly kill the Bashu Sect to such an extent? Weren't you afraid that the entire Bashu would unite and rebel against you?
As the saying goes, the officials forced the people to rebel. Whether it was the imperial court or those top first-rate sects, even if it was the Sword Garret of Bashu, they would still dare to fight, let alone Ji Yanxiu's King of Shu.
Understanding what the two were thinking, Su Xin said, "If Your Highness and Eunuch Wen are willing to trust me, I will take responsibility and do as I say. Whether it succeeds or not depends on you two."
If this was said by someone else, they would definitely doubt it. After all, they were not idiots who would do such a self-destructive thing.
However, the problem was that the person who proposed this plan was Su Xin. Based on what Su Xin had done in Jiangnan, he did not seem like an idiot.
Wen Yu looked at Ji Yanxiu. He was only the steward of the King of Shu Palace. Although he could help Ji Yanxiu with ideas, the final decision had to be made by Ji Yanxiu.
Although Ji Yanxiu seemed a little mediocre on normal days, he still had some decisiveness at this time.
Looking at Su Xin, Ji Yanxiu said in a deep voice, "This time, I believe you. If you can help me gain a foothold in Bashu, I can also hand over the power of the King of Shu Palace to you to deal with the Six Fan School of Bashu.
However, I hope you won't let me down. Otherwise, even if you are the upstart of the Six Fan School and a chief constable, I will definitely make you regret it! "
Su Xin smiled and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured. I, Su Xin, have always been a man of my word. Moreover, there is no benefit for me to cheat you, right?
The Six Fan School of Bashu is actually your enemy, Your Highness. If this matter succeeds, you will benefit more than me. "
Ji Yanxiu nodded. This was also the reason why he was willing to agree to Su Xin's request.
Su Xin had not been in contact with the princes of the Zhou Kingdom before, and the Tie family behind him also maintained an absolutely neutral position in the Zhou Kingdom. Therefore, it was meaningless for Su Xin to deliberately cheat an idle Master like him.
Just as Su Xin said, the chief constable of the Six Fan School of Bashu, Qiu Baichuan, was actually his enemy.
The Tie family maintained a neutral position in the imperial court, but Liu Fengwu did. Behind him was the martial arts genius of the Zhou Kingdom, King Tai, Ji Yancheng.
Therefore, as Liu Fengwu's sworn brother, Qiu Baichuan was actually also considered King Tai's man.
After all, Ji Yanxiu had been in Bashu for so many years, and Qiu Baichuan's attitude towards him could not even be considered respectful.
When Ji Yanxiu had something to ask of Qiu Baichuan, Qiu Baichuan would also directly refuse or feign civility, but Ji Yanxiu could not do anything about it.
Su Xin cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, please lend me Eunuch Wen for a while. It is better to leave the power of the King of Shu's Mansion to Eunuch Wen."
Ji Yanxiu nodded in agreement. Su Xin was quite tactful. Even if he did not say it, Ji Yanxiu would have arranged for Wen Yu.
After all, Su Xin was an outsider, and Ji Yancheng could not trust him to manage the power of the King of Shu's Mansion.
