A total of seven strong men in the Real Fire God Refining Realm fought in the Xichu Palace. Even though they had restrained their strength, they still beat the formation of the entire palace to pieces.
Meng Yunsheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "Stop! Stop it all!"
This is the palace of Western Chu, and he is the emperor of Western Chu. But these people actually started fighting here in front of him. Is there any way for the king to do anything? Are you taking him seriously? It’s too bullying!
After all, Meng Yunsheng was the emperor, and both groups of people present wanted something from him. Seeing that Meng Yunsheng was really angry, both parties had no choice but to stop.
Xiang Chong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shen Baochen and Yan Zhi had retreated.
As the fight continues, it will be easy for him to explain here.
At this time, Yu Wenfu stared intently at Donghuang Taiyi.
I believed your evil deeds!
Who said not to take action just now?
Donghuang Taiyi felt Yu Wenfu's gaze. He shrugged and pointed at Senior Qing opposite him, meaning that I only promise not to do anything, but the old man opposite wants to cause trouble for me, so I can't just let him go, right?
Meng Yunsheng let out a long breath and said: "I tell you, if you have anything to say, can't you just say it well? Why do you have to do it?
I, Xichu, am a small country, and you insist on forcing me to take sides. I don’t know what to do about this."
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said: "I also know that this is very difficult for Your Majesty, so I will not make any promises to Your Majesty. I will only ask Your Majesty a few questions."
Meng Yunsheng was stunned and said: "Master Chu, please tell me."
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "There are two branches of good and evil. Your Majesty does not need to think about the affairs of Jianghu. Jianghu is Jianghu, and the court is court. There is no need to confuse them together for the time being.
I just want to ask Your Majesty, regardless of the good and the evil, if the Eastern Qi attacks the Northern Yan, will the Western Chu help or not?"
Meng Yunsheng immediately said: "Help! Of course we have to help. If Bei Yan is destroyed, with our strength in Xi Chu, the country will definitely be destroyed within three months."
Meng Yunsheng is quite confident about his family's strength. Northern Yan sometimes calls itself Dayan, and Eastern Qi sometimes calls itself Daqi, but only Western Chu, whether internally or externally, always calls itself Western Chu. None of them said that they were Da Chu or anything like that, because they knew that with Xi Chu's little strength, he really couldn't live up to this big name.
Chu Xiu asked again: "Then, Your Majesty, you have been dealing with Dong Qi for so many years. Do you think Dong Qi will be coerced and controlled by Jianghu forces?"
Meng Yunsheng thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Of course it is impossible. As the overlord of the Central Plains, the Eastern Qi court and the Eastern Qi royal family are definitely not weak in strength.
And Mr. Chu, to put it bluntly, even though you are now the martial arts supreme in the land of Beiyan, commanding the rivers and lakes of Beiyan, you should not be a single person in the Beiyan court, right?
You can support a direct lineage of the Xiang royal family to ascend the throne, but you cannot support a collateral lineage to ascend the throne.
Only when what you do does not touch the bottom line of the Beiyan court, but is consistent with the interests of the other party, will there be no conflict between the two of you.
Otherwise, even if the Beiyan royal family is defeated, they will not let their power fall into the hands of outsiders."
Hearing what Meng Yunsheng said, Xiang Chong couldn't help but straighten his chest.
As an emperor, Meng Yunsheng sees these things very clearly, even more clearly than Xiang Chong.
Chu Xiu helped Xiang Li win the throne this time within the scope of the rules, so he was able to succeed and gain the recognition of the entire Beiyan court.
But if he does not follow the rules and supports a person who is not qualified to ascend to the throne at all, or an outsider ascends the throne, then he will definitely suffer backlash from the entire Northern Yan royal family and the court, and may even be defeated.
After he finished speaking, Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "If that's the case, why are you still hesitating? Your Majesty, haven't you seen the cause and effect clearly?"
Hearing what Chu Xiu said, Meng Yunsheng's expression changed slightly, and he had obviously thought of something.
Meng Yunsheng is not a mediocre person. On the contrary, he is much smarter and more courageous than Lu Haochang. However, Xi Chu is inherently deficient. Even if he is replaced by a heroic leader like Xiang Long, he will be unable to recover.
So Meng Yunsheng understood the meaning of Chu Xiu's words after thinking about it carefully.
When Eastern Qi attacks Bei Yan, Western Chu will never sit idly by and ignore it, just like the last Three Kingdoms war.
No matter what promises Dong Qi made, Xi Chu would never believe them.
Even on the contrary, if the Northern Yan is more powerful than the Eastern Qi, it will become the Western Chu to help the Northern Yan.
Meng Yunsheng was so hesitant this time, just because it was not only the interests and grievances between the three countries, but also mixed with rivers and lakes, and the battle between good and evil, so Meng Yunsheng was so hesitant.
But Chu Xiu's second question awakened him. Jianghu is Jianghu, and Chaotang is Chaotang. The two can join forces, but they should be viewed separately.
Zhengdao Wulin cannot influence the decision-making of the Eastern Qi court. The two parties are now joining forces just because they have a common purpose.
Zhengdao Wulin wants to destroy the evil demon Chu Xiu, and Dong Qi is coveting Bei Yan.
If Xi Chu really doesn't intervene this time and allows Dong Qi to destroy Bei Yan, then Dong Qi's next target will be Xi Chu!
Just as Meng Yunsheng said himself, by that time, Xichu wouldn't even be able to last three months.
Don't look at the high-sounding things these people from the righteous sect say now, worrying about the common people and fearing the loss of life and so on.
But once Dong Qi attacks Xi Chu, let’s not say whether they will take care of it or not. Even if they really want to take care of it, will Dong Qi listen to them? Will Dong Qi stop his efforts to dominate the world?
No matter how stupid Ma Yingjie is, no matter how idiotic he is, he is only half a step away from being able to dominate the world and complete the great achievements that all the previous emperors of the Eastern Qi Dynasty have failed to accomplish. Will he stop?
At that point, Xi Chu has no other way out but to surrender.
Never leave your future in the hands of others. Meng Yunsheng is very clear about this.
After a long while, Meng Yunsheng let out a long breath and said to Senior Qing and others: "Everyone, I'm sorry, I, Xi Chu, don't want to get involved in the disputes between rivers and lakes, and I, Xi Chu, don't want to interfere with the grievances between good and evil.
However, I still know that the Eastern Qi is our great enemy to the Western Chu, and I still know the truth of the death of the lips, so as long as the Eastern Qi sends troops to the Northern Yan, I, the Western Chu, will also send troops to the Eastern Qi!"
Before Senior Qing and others could say anything else, Meng Yunsheng said in a deep voice: "Yu Wenfu!"
"I'm here!"
Yu Wenfu immediately straightened his chubby body and stepped in front of Meng Yunsheng with extremely fast speed.
"Starting tomorrow, the Langya army will immediately mobilize to the border of Eastern Qi, and at the same time gather the army of Western Chu to send troops to Eastern Qi!"
Hearing what Meng Yunsheng said, Senior Qing and others all shook their heads.
As the emperor of Western Chu, Meng Yunsheng still has this decisiveness. Once something is determined, it will not change again.
Moreover, they are all sects from the land of Western Chu, and they usually have a good relationship with the Western Chu court. Naturally, they are also aware of Meng Yunsheng's difficulties.
This time we can't blame Meng Yunsheng for choosing to side with the demonic lineage. He just chose to side with Bei Yan. If we want to blame him, we can only blame Dong Qi for being too strong. Anyone else would feel that this is a threat.
So when they heard Meng Yunsheng's choice, they didn't say anything harsh, they just cupped their hands and turned to leave.
Of course, they still have no good feelings towards Chu Xiu, Donghuang Taiyi and others.
After Senior Qing and others left, Meng Yunsheng turned to Chu Xiu and others, and said with a kind expression: "This is Master Chu's first time coming to Dong Qi. I will order people to prepare a banquet and entertain you all."
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Thank you for your Majesty's kindness. However, the Dong Qi army has already invaded the border. Maybe they have already started fighting. Time is running out. I have to go back to support later."
After hearing what Chu Xiu said, Meng Yunsheng did not force himself and just let Chu Xiu and others leave first.
After everyone left, Meng Yunsheng suddenly slumped down on the dragon chair, looking extremely tired.
"His Majesty!"
Yu Wenfu hurriedly greeted him.
Meng Yunsheng covered his head and shook his head: "I'm fine, I just feel a little sad.
The fierce battles between good and evil, and the struggle for hegemony between Eastern Qi and Northern Yan, obviously have nothing to do with me, Xi Chu, but in the end, every time they involve me, Xi Chu, losing troops and generals, and their vitality is severely damaged.
There is a saying by Chu Xiu that is widely circulated in the world. Being weak in the world is a sin in itself.
This sentence is equally appropriate for me, Xi Chu.
Being weak is a great sin!
I do not ask that I, Xi Chu, can dominate the world. I only hope that one day, I, Xi Chu, can be looked upon by everyone, instead of being reduced to a foil in war after war, without even the right to choose whether to fight or not to fight!
"
Seeing Meng Yunsheng's excited look, Yu Wenfu also sighed.
He is an old man in the Western Chu court. He was a big bandit in his early years. When he was seriously injured, he was saved by the previous emperor when he was traveling. Since then, he has been loyal to the Meng family of Western Chu.
He has watched Meng Yunsheng grow up, and he knows that his Majesty's ability and intelligence are definitely not bad. He even feels that he is no worse than the current hero Xiang Long.
But the only difference is that Xiang Long has room for improvement, but Meng Yunsheng doesn't even have room for improvement.
But this is also the tragedy of being a small country. There is no choice but to go with the flow.
Just like what Chu Xiu said, being weak is a sin. If you can survive, you are already thankful to God.
At this time, Chu Xiu didn't know that Meng Yunsheng was so emotional because of his words in the past.
He had no time to delay now and rushed back to Beiyan with Xiang Chong as quickly as possible.
But before they could get back to Beiyan, people from Beiyan's military were waiting for them at the border and sent them news that Dong Qi had already taken action!
Moreover, this time the attack was all-round. The border between Eastern Qi and Northern Yan, the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, and the Weijun area were all attacked at the same time. Among them, the Guanzhong Punishment Hall was almost unable to hold on!
