As the princes of the Zhou Kingdom entered Shengjing City, the number of experts they brought with them and the number of martial artists with sect backgrounds who followed them into Shengjing City was deliberately relaxed by the Six Fan School, so no one could find out the exact number.
Just like now, no one would have thought that the two martial artists who were eating in the tavern by the street were actually Harmonious Spirit Realm existences.
Brother Zhang, who was sitting opposite the martial artist, had a refined and handsome face. When he heard the martial artist's words, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of a smile, "Brother Wu, there is no need to belittle yourself. Only when the world is in chaos can dragons and snakes rise. Right now, Ji Haodian of the Zhou Kingdom is courting death, so it is a good opportunity for us to become famous in Jianghu.
Our Lord has already promised us the positions we deserve. When we succeed in the future, your position will be even more prestigious than Su Xin's position as one of the Four Great Super Arresters! "
Brother Wu nodded, and a trace of a strange light flashed in his eyes.
What did martial artists cultivate for all their lives? Most of them did it for fame and fortune.
For the first half of his life, he had been cultivating in seclusion because of his master's order. He obviously had a shocking cultivation, but he couldn't use it.
Now that his master was dead, there was no one in Jianghu that could restrain him. Right now, Shengjing City was the place where he would become famous!
At this time, Su Xin could naturally feel that there were many eyes watching him in the dark, but he didn't care.
At the moment, these people didn't dare to show themselves in Shengjing City. Moreover, Su Xin didn't intend to interfere.
As long as Ji Haodian didn't say anything, the Six Fan School didn't intend to make a move. They could only pretend to be deaf and mute. After all, this involved Ji Haodian and his group of princes. Outsiders like Su Xin couldn't and wouldn't interfere.
After walking around and finding nothing unusual, Su Xin took Qi Long and the others to Fragrant Chuanlou opened by the Shu King, Ji Yanxiu, to eat.
Everyone present, including Huang Bingcheng, had the strength of the Divine Transformation Realm and could already abstain from eating. As long as they maintained a state of cultivation, they wouldn't starve to death even if they didn't eat for a year.
However, not starving to death didn't mean that they weren't hungry. Moreover, they weren't secluded sects like the Taiyidaomen Sect that often needed to go into seclusion. Therefore, as long as they had the conditions, they still had to eat.
Although this Chuanxiang Restaurant was backed by Ji Yanxiu, it was also the only restaurant in Shengjing that served Sichuan cuisine. Su Xin was quite fond of Sichuan cuisine.
As soon as he stepped into the Fragrant Creek Restaurant, the manager's eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly ran out to welcome him. "Lord Su, your presence brings light to our humble restaurant. Lord Su, please come in, the private room upstairs has been reserved for you."
Although Su Xin hadn't been to this Chuanxiang Brothel many times, he was very clear about the matters between Su Xin and his master, Ji Yanxiu.
In the past, if it wasn't for Su Xin's help, whether or not Ji Yanxiu could rise to power in Sichuan was still an unknown.
Therefore, they treated Su Xin differently from the other experts of the imperial court. Even if Su Xin hadn't been to their Fragrant Creek Restaurant many times, they still had a private room specially reserved for Su Xin.
Su Xin nodded and said, "Bring us up, you can decide on the dishes."
The manager of Fragrant Creek Restaurant hurriedly nodded and personally led the way for Su Xin and the others to the private room.
After leaving the room, the manager of Fragrant Creek Restaurant immediately called for a waiter and whispered in his ear, "Quickly go and inform His Highness. Tell him that Su Xin, Official Su, has arrived!"
The waiter nodded and immediately turned to leave. The manager of Fragrant Creek Restaurant also immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare the dishes for Su Xin and the others.
Before the dishes were served, Su Xin asked Huang Bingcheng, "By the way, who are the strongest among these princes? What about the King of Shu, Ji Yanxiu? "
Huang Bingcheng answered without thinking, "To be honest, most of the princes who entered the capital are about the same in terms of strength. The only ones who seem to be stronger are the Prince of Yu, Ji Yanshan, the Prince of Lu, Ji Yanchang, the Prince of Qingzhou, and the King of Shu, Ji Yanxiu.
Other than these princes, although the other princes don't seem to be very strong, they all seem to have the backing of other powerful forces in the pugilistic world. Even if they aren't controlled, they are allied. However, the possibility of them being controlled is quite high. "
For a Jianghu faction to be able to control a prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this sounded unbelievable, but it was very possible.
There were many princes in the Zhou Kingdom, but where were the princes who had the potential to inherit the throne? They were all in Shengjing.
Therefore, although the King of Tai, Ji Yancheng, and the others had the backing of pugilistic world forces, they were in an equal alliance, and even the princes of the Zhou Kingdom had the upper hand.
However, these princes who were sent to different places in the Zhou Kingdom were different. Since they were sent to Shengjing, it could only mean two things. One was that they weren't strong enough, and the other was that their mother's family didn't have much power and couldn't help them fight for the throne.
These two points showed that they had been abandoned. Even if they were sent to the 49 paths of the Zhou Kingdom, they were still very weak. Even the chief of detectives and the chief of the army of the Six Fan School couldn't be bothered to deal with them.
Based on the tragic situation of Ji Yanxiu, the King of Shu's Mansion was similar to some second-rate forces in the pugilistic world.
Moreover, Ji Yanxiu's situation was considered good. Although his mother's family had declined, at least he had a loyal and powerful old eunuch, Wen Yu, by his side.
There were other princes who were even worse off than him. Some princes only had a few servants in their mansions. It was enough for them to be an idle Master, but they wouldn't have any influence.
At this point, if a sect in the pugilistic world was willing to extend an olive branch, 99% of them would agree.
Back then, Ji Yanxiu had wanted to join forces with the Sword Garret of Bashu. Unfortunately, the Sword Garret of Bashu was focused on forging swords and didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the imperial court. They didn't think much of him. Therefore, Ji Yanxiu had been living a miserable life in Bashu. If it wasn't for Su Xin, he probably wouldn't be able to make a name for himself in this lifetime.
After a while, the manager of Sichuan Fragrance Restaurant personally brought the dishes and said to Su Xin respectfully, "Lord Su, my Master heard that you were here, so he specially came to see you. I wonder if you have the time?"
Su Xin said lightly, "Since the King of Shu has come personally, how can I not see him? Please come in, Your Highness. "
In reality, Su Xin came to Sichuan Fragrance Restaurant with the intention of seeing Ji Yanxiu. He also wanted to see what these princes were thinking.
Shengjing City was currently in an atmosphere where a storm was brewing. Su Xin would never get involved if there was no benefit to it. However, Su Xin had to figure out what was at stake.
After a while, Ji Yanxiu walked in with two people.
One of them was Wen Yu, Ji Yanxiu's confidant, while the other was a warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm. He was also Lou Quanzhong, Ji Yanxiu's new confidant.
Before Su Xin could say anything, Ji Yanxiu laughed and said, "Lord Su, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I thought I would never be able to return to Shengjing City in this lifetime. I didn't think I would be able to set foot here one day."
Ji Yanxiu could not see the slightest trace of Su Xin's confused and timid appearance when they first met. All that was left was a high-spirited arrogance.
Of course, Ji Yanxiu now had the right to be in high spirits.
With Su Xin's help, Ji Yanxiu's starting point was much stronger than that of ordinary princes. Even if he did not have the help of a martial arts sect behind him, he could still stand shoulder to shoulder with them. In fact, he was much stronger than them.
The Crown Prince, Ji Yancheng, and the others had all been deposed. As such, the princes all had the opportunity to fight for the position of Crown Prince.
However, Ji Haodian was currently studying the grand plan of immortality. If Ji Haodian were to succeed, then even if he were to become the Crown Prince, he would only be able to be the Crown Prince for the rest of his life.
If this had not happened, Ji Yanxiu would probably have been even more proud of himself.
Su Xin smiled and said, "Opportunities are only given to those who are prepared. Your Highness, the King of Shu, has prepared for so long. It's time to reap the rewards."
Ji Yanxiu, who was sitting opposite Su Xin, shook his head and said, "To be honest, I still have to thank Lord Su. If it wasn't for Lord Su, this King wouldn't have reached this step."
Actually, Ji Yanxiu was quite grateful to Su Xin.
Regardless of whether or not Su Xin wanted to use him back then, if not for Su Xin, there would be no Ji Yanxiu today.
Ji Yanxiu pointed to Wen Yu and Lou Quanzhong behind him and said, "Lord Su, Steward Wen is an old acquaintance of yours. This is also my trusted aide, Lou Quanzhong. You should have met him last time at Bashu Road."
Lou Quanzhong cupped his hands towards Su Xin and smiled, "Greetings, Lord Su. This one has heard of Lord Su's name for a long time."
Su Xin only nodded and did not continue to pay attention to him. He was just a Soul Transformation expert under Ji Yanxiu. Under normal circumstances, he would not even have the right to speak to him. Naturally, Su Xin could not be bothered to feign civility with him.
However, Su Xin's actions seemed to be filled with contempt in Lou Quanzhong's eyes. This made Lou Quanzhong feel a little uncomfortable.
You, Su Xin, may be one of the four great Super Arresters of the imperial court, but Ji Yanxiu was still a prince. You were just a subject.
Lou Quanzhong was also Ji Yanxiu's trusted aide. Wasn't Su Xin's attitude a slap to Ji Yanxiu's face?
Lou Quanzhong was furious, so he said in a tone that was neither light nor heavy, "Lord Su is indeed impressive. Your actions are even more impressive than my Master's."
His words were clearly hinting at Su Xin's disrespect towards Ji Yanxiu. Su Xin merely glanced at Ji Yanxiu and said indifferently, "Your Royal Highness, is this how your trusted aide acts?"
Ji Yanxiu's face darkened as he roared, "Get out!"
Lou Quanzhong's eyes revealed a trace of disbelief, but at this moment, Wen Yu suddenly made a move and slapped Lou Quanzhong's face, coldly snorting, "You don't know the rules! Is the relationship between Lord Su and Master something you can sow discord? Get out! "
