ps: Thanks to my book friend Lao Na for the reward of 10,000 starting coins when he turns 18 this year.
The Guanzhong Punishment Hall suffered considerable losses in the battle with the Yulin Army. Looking at Chu Wuji's face, he also suffered some injuries.
Chu Xiu handed over a bottle of elixir and said, "Is the injury serious? Where is Mr. Wei?"
Chu Wuji took the elixir, shook his head and said: "It's not too serious, Mr. Wei should have gone to Wei County at this time, which is also the main location of the Eastern Qi attack.
However, three of the five armies of the Eastern Qi Kingdom, plus the masters from the Royal Enshrinement Hall, have already been prepared there, so it should be much easier."
After finishing speaking, Chu Wuji clicked his tongue and said: "I'm afraid your current strength is infinitely close to that of heaven and earth? Real fire god refining plus real fire body refining, the two combined into one, it's really terrifying, I want to give it a try
Gone."
Of course, Chu Wuji was just saying this, he would only try this kind of thing if he lost his mind and went crazy.
True fire training cannot be practiced by those without great perseverance. Chu Xiu was able to succeed in training, in fact, a large part of it was due to chance and luck.
If others were like him, surviving after being blasted to pieces, it would be possible for them to practice True Fire Body Refining after reshaping their bodies.
"The realm of connecting heaven and earth is not that easy to deal with. When we reach the realm of you and me, one step at a time, one step at a time, the difference between cloud and mud is not so easy to overcome."
Chu Wuji said: "But in my opinion, you have at least crossed half the world."
After exchanging a few words, Chu Wuji and Chu Xiu directly entered Guanzhong City.
Xiao Yi and others were counting the losses in Guanzhong Punishment Hall. When they saw Chu Xiu coming, they all bowed respectfully.
Chu Yuansheng also saw Chu Xiu, and he looked a little embarrassed because he didn't know how to call Chu Xiu.
Although he already knew that Chu Xiu was using him back then, Chu Yuansheng never really hated Chu Xiu.
After all, his interests have not been damaged, and even his father's position has returned to his hands, and the power of Guanzhong Punishment Hall will be greater than before.
But at the beginning, he was Chu Xiu's eldest brother, but now Chu Xiu is no longer the gangster in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall in the past, but a giant of the devil, a powerful figure who controls the entire Beiyan Wulin.
It can even be said that in the past, when his father was at his peak, he was not as strong as Chu Xiu is now.
When Chu Kuangge fought for Tianmen Luo Shenjun, he only used his own life to seriously injure Luo Shenjun.
But now Chu Xiu can kill the Tianmen God General. This is the gap.
Before Chu Yuansheng could speak, Chu Xiu walked over and cupped his hands and said: "Brother, are you okay? This time, I came late. If I had come earlier, maybe the cities in Guanzhong torture hall would not have to be lost.
Already."
Seeing that Chu Xiu's attitude towards him was almost the same as before, Chu Yuansheng breathed a sigh of relief and was even a little touched.
"Brother Chu, there is no need to blame yourself. You came just in time. In fact, I, Guanzhong Punishment Hall, have not lost anything.
We knew before that using the power of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall to disperse the army against the Eastern Qi was basically like a mantis blocking the cart.
Therefore, when Dong Qi's army just pressed the border, we had already withdrawn all our troops. The cities occupied by Dong Qi were just empty cities.
In addition, Dong Qi also wants to completely occupy Guanzhong, so there is no difficulty in dealing with some martial arts forces or others in the city."
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "That's good. After the casualties are counted, we can discuss matters together.
The Yulin Army has retreated, but it does not mean that we are safe. Dong Qi does not have only one Yulin Army."
Half an hour later, all the senior officials of Guanzhong Xingtang and Chu Wuji came to the meeting hall.
Chu Yuansheng wanted Chu Xiu to sit in the main seat, but Chu Xiu refused.
With his current status, he no longer needs to sit on the main seat to gain status and respect.
In fact, with the strength that Chu Xiu currently controls, Guanzhong Punishment Hall is dispensable to him.
Chu Yuansheng had never betrayed him in the past, so naturally he would not betray Chu Yuansheng, so as long as he was alive, the Guanzhong Punishment Hall would always have the surname Chu.
Secretly, his surname is Chu, Chu Xiu, and openly, his surname is Chu Yuansheng.
Moreover, Chu Xiu also admired Chu Kuangge and Chu Juxia, but he admired him, and Chu Xiu would be Chu Kuangge for the rest of his life.
"What are the casualties at the Guanzhong Punishment Hall?" Chu Xiu asked.
Xiao Yi said in a deep voice: "More than three thousand people died and ten thousand were injured. In this kind of military battle, I, the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, do not have the advantage."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yi raised his head and looked at Chu Xiu carefully and said, "Sir, can Beiyan send reinforcements?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "It's difficult. Beiyan's strength is here. The five armies of Zhenguo have been dispatched. If we deploy them again, we can only deploy the imperial guards around Yanjing City to protect the palace."
The expressions of the warriors present in the execution hall all changed.
Without reinforcements, how could they guard Guanzhong Torment Hall?
Although the Guanzhong Punishment Hall's previous strength was pretty good, this is a national war! The powerful army built with all the efforts of a country cannot be stopped by the Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
However, Chu Xiu suddenly said: "Beiyan cannot mobilize reinforcements, but we can find a way on Dong Qi's side to let Dong Qi change his attack target.
The Guanzhong Punishment Hall is not the main place. Wei County is preceded by Jiangshan Pavilion, and the junction of Beiyan and Dong Qi is also a battleground between the two sides. The Guanzhong Punishment Hall is actually dispensable for the Dong Qi.
.”
Xiao Yi smiled bitterly: "But the question now is, how do we make Dong Qi change his mind?"
Chu Xiu thought for a while, knocked on the table and said: "Guanzhong Torture Hall has been the center of trade among the three countries for so many years. You several torture officers must have done this kind of thing often, right?"
The expressions of Xiao Yi and others changed slightly. Chu Xiu waved his hand casually and said: "Don't be nervous. In the past, when I was the executioner in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, I often did this kind of thing. If a person doesn't do it for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. This
Who can avoid such huge profits?
You have been in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall longer than I have. Over the years, there have been no big figures in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, some royal nobles and the like, who have intervened in these smuggling businesses? Can you contact them? "
Xiao Yi nodded when he heard this and said: "We can contact you, but sir, this is the period of national war between Dong Qi and Bei Yan. Even if we contact them, they will not dare to interfere in this kind of thing."
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "Don't worry, just contact me. As long as the benefits are sufficient, it's not impossible for them to do such things as betraying the country.
You just need to contact them as I said, and I won't come forward. After all, my identity is sensitive, but I will tell you secretly what I said."
When Xiao Yi heard what Chu Xiu said, although he was still confused, he could only nod in agreement.
The personal connections that Xiao Yi and others have accumulated over the years in Guanzhong Punishment Hall are quite extraordinary.
The people from Dong Qi want to smuggle things to Bei Yan and Xi Chu. They use ordinary small caravans to sneak around. The big caravans have to get through the relationship with the inspectors, and some extremely sensitive things have to get through their masters.
Only the executioner will do.
Therefore, Xiao Yi and the others really knew a lot about some powerful people in the Eastern Qi court.
It's just that at this critical moment, these people didn't want to see Xiao Yi, but Chu Xiu's approach was very rough and directly threatened them. If they didn't come, he would hand over the evidence of their smuggling over the years to the Eastern Qi court, especially
It's the contraband they smuggled into Beiyan.
So although this group of people was angry, they still came obediently.
Of course, they were not stupid enough to enter the boundary of Guanzhong Punishment Hall, but found a place at the junction of Dongqi and Guanzhong Punishment Hall to meet Xiao Yi.
In an inn in a small town, Xiao Yi has booked the entire inn. Sitting across from him are several people in fine clothes, old and young, but all of them have angry looks on their faces.
One of them said coldly: "Master Xiao, what you did is not honest.
We have cooperated so many times before, and business cannot be done without justice.
You followed Chu Xiu and Bei Yan, but now you are pressed by the army and implicated us, what do you mean?"
Xiao Yi knew the identities of these people in front of him. They were all nobles of Dong Qi, even members of the royal family.
For example, the person speaking in front of me is Lu Changlong, King of Huai of the Eastern Qi Dynasty. He belongs to a collateral royal family. Although he was named king, he has no real power, so he spends most of his time making money and enjoying himself.
Xiao Yi waved his hand and said: "Please calm down, you all don't want to see me, and I really have no choice, so I came up with this move.
You all should be aware of the predicament of our Guanzhong torture hall at the moment, and I am actually here to ask for your help."
Lu Changlong and others quickly shook their heads and said: "Come on, Mr. Xiao, it's not like you don't know our details. Are we able to talk about such a big matter?"
Xiao Yi laughed and said: "You are all prominent figures in the Eastern Qi court, why can't you speak?
Don't worry, everyone, since you are asking for help, I, Guanzhong Punishment Hall, are naturally sincere.
After the Guanzhong torture hall returns to calm, I will not take a penny from the things you want to smuggle in the future.
And as long as you agree to help me in Guanzhong torture hall once, everything here belongs to you."
With that said, Xiao Yi directly opened a space secret box, which was filled with mountains of gold, silver and jewelry.
Although these things are not very useful to warriors, they are still real money.
Chu Xiu wanted to bribe them with these things, which still made Xiao Yi feel very distressed.
Seeing these things, Lu Changlong and others were really moved.
But they still shook their heads and said: "Although money is a good thing, right now your Guanzhong Punishment Hall is siding with Beiyan and helping you, which is tantamount to betraying the country. This traitorous money is not easy to earn."
At this time, Chu Xiu's voice came to Xiao Yi's ears.
He was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "I want to ask you a question. Do you think that Bei Yan can annex Dong Qi?"
Everyone present burst out laughing, and Lu Changlong said disdainfully: "We, Daqi, are sitting in the rich land of the Central Plains, and there are many heroes. Even if His Majesty makes several wrong decisions in succession, just with those barbarians in Beiyan,
Don’t even think about swallowing my Daqi.”
Xiao Yi smiled and said: "If this is the case, then why are you worried about being traitorous to the country or not? Not to mention that this time we Guanzhong torture hall is just to protect ourselves, even if we really want you to betray the country and buy and sell once, Dong Qi will not come out
Isn't the problem?
If that's the case, what's the big deal if you sell it once in a while?"
