The way to crack the demon in the heart of the Moon-Challenging Sword...
When Chu Xianping said these words, no matter how "emotional and angry" Lu Hongji was, he was inevitably stunned.
Of course he is interested in this, and even half of his purpose in provoking this national war is for this method!
Therefore, when he heard that Chu Xianping wanted to exchange Elder Kuilong's token with him on this condition, Lu Hongji's brain couldn't help but become extremely confused for a moment.
Chu Xianping actually has a way to defeat the demons in his heart?
Where did he get it?
There is the Moon Sword and there are ways to suppress the inner demons, so why doesn't he practice the Moon Sword?
Since he already knew this method and his purpose of launching this war, why didn't he propose this deal earlier? Why did he have to wait until now?
Breathing rapidly, eyes widened.
Due to Chu Xianping's identity as Elder Kuilong and his mysterious behavior in the past few days, Lu Hongji thought about countless questions at this moment, but he did not doubt the authenticity of Chu Xianping's words.
But in fact, Chu Xianping has not even mastered the Moon-Chasing Sword Technique, let alone the method of defeating the inner demon.
After all, when Wei Changtian learned about the shortcomings of the Moon-Tearing Sword, he issued an order not to allow anyone to practice this sword technique again.
Therefore, Chu Xianping, Du Chang and others only knew the magic of the Moon Sword, but had never been exposed to the sword technique at all.
The copy of the Tiaoyue Sword Manual had always been with Wei Changtian, and was not returned to the latter until Lao Zhangtou left.
As for what happens next, it is now very clear.
Du Chang leaked the whereabouts of Lao Zhangtou to Lu Hongji, who then killed people to seize the treasure and grabbed the sword manual...
Therefore, Chu Xianping actually did not master the Moon Sword at all, and there was no way to defeat the inner demon.
But this did not affect him in the slightest when he said to the surprised Lu Hongji in an extremely sure tone:
"Master Lu, I know you must have a lot of questions at this moment."
"But you don't need to know these things. You just need to understand that I do have this method in my hands."
"Of course, maybe in your opinion, even without me, you can get this method from Qin Zhengqiu or the new Empress Feng."
"That's it, then I'll take a step back."
"As long as you agree, I will immediately send my people to the army's company camp to help the army tide over these difficulties in the past few days."
"I won't care about what happens next. Whether you win or lose this battle has nothing to do with me."
"But if you lose, then I will tell you how to defeat the Heart Demon, and you will also need to hand over the Elder Token to me."
"And if you win and really get this method from Empress Xinfeng... then our deal will be over."
"You don't have to give me the elder's token. This small favor can be regarded as my repaying your favor for killing Du Chang."
"What do you think?"
"..."
In Lu Hongji's eyes, which changed several times, Chu Xianping spoke for a long time in a leisurely manner and explained the entire transaction very clearly.
I will order my people to help you stabilize the army first.
After that, if you win the national war and get the method to break the inner demon as you wish, then this matter will be over.
But if you still lose the national war, it doesn't matter. I can still give you what you want, but you have to give me the elder token...
To be honest, this whole deal is very beneficial to Lu Hongji.
First of all, when he won the national war, he was equivalent to "whoring" more than ten upper-level third-level masters for help without paying anything.
At this juncture, this is very critical.
And to put it ten thousand steps back, even if he still loses in the end, Chu Xianping will still tell the way to break the inner demon.
Of course, as a price, he had to hand over Elder Huangtai's token.
Although the identity of Elder Kui Long is important, in Lu Hongji's eyes, it is not as valuable as the method of cracking the inner demon of the Moon Sword.
Therefore, from Lu Hongji's perspective, he could not find any reason to refuse at this time.
Even if he knew that Chu Xianping would never be so "kind", there must be some conspiracy hidden behind the whole transaction...
Knowing that there is a scam, but still can't help but step into the trap... This is the scary thing about Chu Xianping.
I'm not afraid of your doubts or your hesitations. Anyway, you will eventually make the choice I have already preset.
Because the conditions I gave you cannot refuse.
"Master Chu..."
After lowering his head in silence for a long time, Lu Hongji finally slowly raised his head after dozens of breaths.
"You seem to have determined that I will definitely lose this battle, otherwise I really don't understand what benefit this deal will have to you."
"..."
It has to be said that Lu Hongji is not an ordinary person.
Most people would have readily agreed to such a temptation, but he still had a very clear judgment.
When Chu Xianping heard this question, he did not hide it. He nodded and said with a smile:
"Master Lu, I have said before that although you have been very cautious, you still underestimated Wei Changtian."
"Don't think that Kui Long is the best in the world. His methods are far beyond your imagination."
"So in my opinion, even if it's not 100%, you still have a 90% chance of losing."
"......Is it?"
Looking directly at Chu Xianping, Lu Hongji did not ask any more questions.
His expression was calm, but a feeling of "disobedience" gradually rose in his heart because of these few words.
To put it bluntly, he didn't think Wei Changtian's methods were "beyond imagination", nor did he think he really had a 90% chance of losing this national war.
Therefore, driven by this emotion, he finally nodded slowly.
"Okay, I promise you."
"If I really lose this battle, then I will give you the Elder Token and I will never regret it."
"..."
“So best.”
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Chu Xianping shook his sleeves and stood up: "Then I will order my men to go to the army camp. I hope Captain Lu will send a message to them early to give them an identity.
So as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
"It's natural."
Lu Hongji also stood up slowly: "Don't worry, Mr. Chu."
"good."
In response, Chu Xianping no longer looked at Lu Hongji, but turned to look at the "tea stall owner" standing in the distance.
He didn't speak, but nodded slightly.
But the big man seemed to understand something, and immediately took out a piece of mother-in-law jade from his arms and began to send the message.
"..."
Seeing this scene, Lu Hongji trembled and froze in place as if struck by lightning.
So, is everything really as he expected...
A gust of wind blew by, which seemed to be carrying a chill that did not belong to late spring.
Lu Hongji looked at Chu Xianping blankly, and suddenly felt that he should have thought more about it just now.
But no matter how much I think about it, will I reject this deal...
Lu Hongji knew that the answer must be "no".
What's more, now that he has come to this point, it seems that he can no longer retreat.
"call......"
Taking a deep breath, Lu Hongji silently glanced at Chu Xianping for the last time, and then looked away with a complicated expression.
At this moment, whether he was willing or not, he could only admit that whether it was scheming or strategy, he was too far behind the latter.
This cannot be blamed on Lu Hongji being too "stupid". On the contrary, Lu Hongji's talents are actually considered to be among the best among hundreds of emperors in the world.
Therefore, if you want to blame it, you can only blame Chu Xianping for being too "perverted"...
"Master Lu, since you and I have had tea, it's time to go."
"The tea stall still needs to be returned to others."
