After Su Xin left Bashu Road, he returned to Jiannan Road without stopping.
For Su Xin, the biggest waste of time in this plan is probably the rush.
However, this time I went to Bashu Road and Su Xin made some new discoveries. It seems that a new round of battle for the crown prince is about to begin.
Since Ji Yancheng and others were deprived of their power last time, Ji Haodian has allowed all princes to enter Beijing and be eligible to compete for the position of crown prince.
As the saying goes, a phoenix landed on the ground is not as good as a chicken. Although Su Xin did not deliberately understand it, the situation of Ji Yancheng and other princes was extremely miserable. Now, except for personal eunuchs, they could not even find a warrior in the realm of gods.
In fact, it's normal when you think about it. They themselves are already disgusted by Ji Haodian. Even if someone wants to burn a cold stove, they won't go to them, because that is just asking for death.
So now the other princes who have established palaces outside have accumulated a lot of power.
Because Ji Yanxiu had a good foundation with Su Xin's help, he was even ranked among the top five among the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
I believe that a new round of competition for the crown prince will begin soon. Of course, it all depends on how long Ji Haodian can survive.
It is estimated that a new round of competition for the crown prince will not begin until the day Ji Haodian really dies.
Therefore, Su Xin will keep this matter in mind, but he will not get involved now. Otherwise, given Ji Haodian's character, he will simply seek death by doing so.
Even though Ji Haodian looks like he's dying now and can't even hold on for a long discussion, he is the Lord of the Great Zhou after all. Who knows what other talents and treasures the Great Zhou will possess?
How long Haodian can live is really unknown.
When Su Xin returned to Jiannan Road, it actually took him a month to go to Bashu Road and back.
So Su Xin did not delay, but went directly to Mingjian Villa to pay homage to the mountain gate.
When He Wushan and He Xiu heard the news of Su Xin's arrival, they were all stunned and didn't understand what Su Xin meant.
However, Su Xin used the name of the imperial court when he visited the mountain gate. Even though their Mingjian Villa had some friction and unpleasantness with Su Xin, now that Su Xin came in the name of the imperial court, they had to see him.
He Wushan coughed and said, "Go and invite Su Xin to the reception room."
A disciple hurriedly went out to greet Su Xin, while He Wushan took He Xiu to the reception room of Mingjian Villa and waited.
Of course, He Wushan is not the only Yangshen realm warrior in Mingjian Villa, but he is the head of the family, so he naturally has everything he says in Mingjian Villa, so it is enough for He Wushan to speak up about what happened.
This is also one of the characteristics of Mingjian Villa. The power that the family owner can control is quite huge.
Within other forces, such as the Qingcheng Sword Sect, the other elders are fighting for power and benefit from the forces in their hands and quarreling with each other, but this can also check and balance the power of the leader.
Mingjian Villa does the opposite. You are the head of the family, so you have to keep your word. All the power is yours, but the future of Mingjian Villa also rests on your shoulders.
If you can do this position well, you will be glorious, but if you can't, then you will be the sinner of Mingjian Villa.
That's why He Wushan was so harsh on He Xiu, not only because of his character, but also because of the system of Mingjian Villa.
If He Xiu really couldn't afford the position of heir to Mingjian Villa, then He Wushan would really know how to replace him.
He would rather train a new heir than let He Xiu take the risk to inherit the position of head of the family. Otherwise, letting him take this position would not only harm him, but also harm Mingjian Villa.
After a while, Su Xin was led in by a disciple. He Wushan and He Xiu were both sitting there, but the two of them did not speak. They just looked at Su Xin coldly.
Su Xin didn't care. He just found a chair and sat down as if he was no stranger. He picked up the cold tea in the cup and started drinking it.
Seeing Su Xin's behavior, He Wushan frowned and said, "Su Xin, what exactly do you want to do when you come to my Mingjian Villa? You can't come here to drink tea, right?"
Su Xin smiled and said: "Master He, actually I'm here to negotiate a deal with you."
He Wushan said nothing, but He Xiu sneered and said: "Su Xin, please go, I, Mingjian Villa, will not have any deal with you.
Back in Jiuchong Sword Pavilion, you robbed a lot of things from my Famous Sword Villa, but now you still have the nerve to negotiate a deal with us?"
What He Xiu said was not to slander Su Xin. In fact, what Su Xin did back then was indeed not very honorable.
No one can take away anything he likes, whether it's the Famous Sword Villa or the White Lotus Sect. Therefore, Su Xin is the one who has gained the most in the Ninefold Sword Pavilion. He has gained both fame and fortune. No wonder many people dislike him.
.
"Brother He, don't be so stingy. These are just trivial matters, don't worry about it."
Su Xin looked at He Wushan with burning eyes and said: "Master He, don't you want to hear what the deal I want to say is?"
He Wushan took a deep look at Su Xin and then said, "Tell me what you want."
Su Xin said calmly: "It's not that I want something, but that this matter is inherently a mutually beneficial matter.
I, Da Zhou, am willing to trade the enlarged runes on the white jade stone slab for the enlarged runes of Famous Sword Villa.
Moreover, I, Da Zhou, are going to take action against the Qingcheng Sword Sect, so I ask Master He not to interfere when the time comes."
As soon as Su Xin said these words, He Wushan and He Xiu were both stunned.
Exchanging runes for enlargement is of course of great benefit to them.
Sword God Mountain and Yi Jianmen also have rune enlargements, but they will not trade with Mingjian Villa.
The reason is the same as the Qingcheng Sword Sect not allowing the Bashu Sword Pavilion to study the Weidao Sword. It is simply because none of the five sword sects wants to make the other one too strong.
But now it's Da Zhou, because the strength gap between the two sides is too big, so there is no such concern.
Anyway, whether you are stronger or I am stronger will not make any changes to the structure of Dazhou and the entire Jianghu, so they can trade with confidence.
However, what shocked He Wushan was Su Xin's second sentence. Dazhou actually wanted to attack the Qingcheng Sword Sect and wanted them to watch from the sidelines at the Mingjian Villa.
He Wushan made his choice almost instantly. He immediately said: "Master Su, there is absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter. As one of my five sword-holding sects, the Qingcheng Sword Sect will offend him in any way.
The imperial court and my Mingjian Villa can naturally adjust it, but if the imperial court insists on destroying families and families, then my Mingjian Villa will definitely not agree! Other martial arts comrades in the world will not agree either!"
Su Xin looked at He Wushan who reacted so fiercely with a smile on his face.
Su Xin was not surprised at all by He Wushan's reaction, he had already expected it.
It's not because of the good relationship between Mingjian Villa and Qingcheng Sword Sect, it's just because the butt determines the head.
Yijian Sect was unwilling to take charge of Qingcheng Sword Sect because of the original grudges.
Jian Shenshan is not used to meddling in other people's business and ignoring matters that have nothing to do with him.
Bashu Sword Pavilion chose to sit on the sidelines because of the temptation of Weidao Sword.
There is a certain reason why they choose to watch, and there is a reason why Mingjian Villa does not want to give up the Qingcheng Sword Sect. The reason is because of Mingjian Villa's position as the leader of the five sword-wielding sects.
Only the Five Sword-holding Sects are the leaders of the Five Sword-holding Sects. It can be said that the current status of Mingjian Villa even represents the interests of the Five Sword-holding Sects at some moments.
As a result, the Qingcheng Sword Sect has been destroyed by the imperial court. Doesn't this mean that the five sword sects are just like this to outsiders, and they will be destroyed at the request of the imperial court.
Yi Jianmen and others may not care, but as the leader of the five sword-holding sects, Mingjian Villa is the first to bear the brunt. Even their title of the leader of the five sword-holding sects will exist in name only.
But Su Xin had already thought of this. He was sure that the most difficult one among these sects was Mingjian Villa, so he went to the other three sects in advance to deal with it. He would rather go a little further away and come to Mingjian Villa last.
So looking at He Wushan who was resolute, Su Xin said calmly: "Master He, celebrities don't talk secretly. You should know that if it wasn't a few decades ago, other forces in the world would not do it because of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After destroying a Qingcheng Sword Sect, they stood up and joined forces.
Besides, I also know why you object. Aren't you just afraid that the position of Mingjian Villa as the leader of the five sword-wielding sects will exist in name only?
In fact, you don’t need to care too much, because you, the so-called leader of the five sword-wielding sects, are actually dead in name only.”
"What do you mean?" He Wushan's expression remained unchanged, but there was some fluctuation in his heart.
Su Xin spread his hands and said: "Actually, it's very simple. I have already visited three of the Five Sword-holding Sects, and all three of them have agreed, but your Mingjian Villa is the last one.
It can be said that both Yi Jianmen and Sword God Mountain have two rune enlargements now, and these two families and the Bashu sword pavilion have agreed to sit on the sidelines when I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, take action against the Qingcheng sword sect.
At that time, if Mingjian Villa wants to intervene, I believe that with the strength of Da Zhou, there should be no problem in dealing with two of the five sword-wielding factions."
"Impossible!" He Xiu stood up immediately and said.
Su Xin said indifferently: "If you don't believe it, you can go to the three sects and ask about it. Although they cannot spread this kind of thing to outsiders, Mingjian Villa, which is also one of the five sword-holding sects, will definitely tell you. You can
Let’s see if I lied to you.”
In fact, He Xiu and He Wushan already believed Su Xin's confident attitude. After all, Su Xin was an idiot to lie to them about such a big matter.
But it was precisely because of this that He Wushan felt a little powerless.
If the other three factions have already agreed, what's the point of Mingjian Villa continuing to insist?
Just as Su Xin said, the alliance of the five sword-wielding factions will indeed make Da Zhou surrender to the rat weapon, but if there are only two factions, Da Zhou can still deal with it.
And their Mingjian Villa will also not involve themselves just for the Qingcheng Sword Sect.
