At this time, Chu Xiu didn't know that Huo Xingzun was thinking so much at this moment.
He offered such an expensive gift just to attract other people's attention, and now, now his purpose has been achieved.
However, at this time, Nalan Hai said in a nonchalant manner: "Master Chu came all the way from Dong Qi to Qingfeng Hai. Isn't it just as simple as wishing his adoptive father a birthday?"
My adoptive father has celebrated so many birthdays, why didn’t he see you coming before, Mr. Chu?”
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
They were shocked by Chu Xiu's identity before, but they really didn't expect this.
The connection between the Central Plains and overseas places is mainly mutual trade, and it is not about taking root in overseas places. Who would come to give gifts to Huo Xingzun when they are bored?
Let alone the Central Plains, no one has ever been to the Rift Wind Sea, which is close to the Qingfeng Sea.
Just now, Fu Longxiao said that on his next birthday, he could invite the powerful men from the Split Wind Sea Region to celebrate Huo Xingzun's birthday. This is already a great honor.
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. I came here this time because I really want to discuss something with Mr. Huo Wu.
You must have heard about the disputes in the martial arts world in the Central Plains.
The Eastern Qi Dynasty started a national war, and the martial arts chaos in the Central Plains suddenly broke out.
This time, I came here hoping to find everyone from Donghai to join forces and attack Dong Qi from behind.
After staying on the island for such a long time, don’t you want to go ashore and give it a try?”
Everyone present had different expressions. No one expected that when Chu Xiu came to the East China Sea this time, his plans were so big.
In fact, most of the warriors in the East China Sea know about the news about the land of Dong Qi.
The warriors in the East China Sea may not care about the martial arts in the Central Plains, but they cannot care about the trade that concerns them.
The national war provoked by Dong Qi this time involved too many areas, and martial law was enforced everywhere, so even trade to the East China Sea was delayed a lot.
Some of the cultivation resources in the Central Plains are not produced by the East China Sea. They rely entirely on mutual trade between the two sides. As a result, they are now very scarce.
In the past, Jiangshan Pavilion was in control of this transaction, but now Jiangshan Pavilion has gone to the Central Plains to found the country, and the Dong Qi group of businessmen have lost a lot of money, which makes them very anxious.
But at this time, Nalan Hai said coldly: "Master Chu, please come back. The warriors in my East China Sea land have always been used to freedom. I don't want to get involved in the turmoil in the martial arts world in the Central Plains. Even if you come to ask for help in person,
We won’t agree either.”
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said: "Wrong, I am not here to ask for help this time. I have said before that I am here to ask for cooperation."
Before Chu Xiu could say anything, Nalan Hai waved his hand and said, "We don't need to cooperate either."
There was a cold glint in Chu Xiu's eyes. It had been a long time and no one dared to interrupt him!
At this moment, Huo Xingzun waved his hand and said: "Fourth brother, I am a guest from afar. Let me finish my words."
When Nalan Hai heard that his adoptive father had spoken, he couldn't say anything anymore.
However, Nalan Hai was a little confused as to why his adoptive father was so kind to Chu Xiu. You must know that his adoptive father was also somewhat hostile to the warriors of the Central Plains before.
Huo Xingzun is the overlord of Qingfenghai and the invisible ruler. What he is most worried about is that someone will shake his power, and such people are most likely to appear in the Central Plains. After all, the two are not far apart.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Master Huo Wu, whether in the Central Plains or overseas, there is only two words that he wants, and that is profit.
With all due respect, although the strength of overseas places is not weak, it is definitely not strong.
Therefore, if you dared to go to the Eastern Qi Wulin to cause trouble in the past, the most likely outcome would be to lose your troops, be beaten back, or even block trade. At that time, it would be your overseas land that would suffer.
But things are different now. The martial arts war in the Central Plains was started by Dong Qi. Dong Qi's defenses in the entire East China Sea were empty. You took the opportunity to occupy several counties, and even controlled the coast of Dong Qi.
Not difficult.
And with me, the Beiyan Imperial Court, and the entire demonic forces working together to contain them, I guarantee that Dong Qi will not be able to find the strength to go back and support them for a while, so this matter is almost certain.
Everyone, is it better to attack externally than to attack internally? Besides, we won’t get anything from internally.”
Upon hearing Chu Xiu's words, most of the people present were moved.
It should be said that some forces close to the coast have done such things as entering the martial arts world of the Central Plains, but they all ended badly.
This was not only due to the martial arts forces in the Central Plains, but also to the Eastern Qi court's strict defense.
After all, overseas lands are all islands, and they do not have some resources. They must rely on trade in the Central Plains to obtain them.
However, some specialties from overseas places are not necessary in the Central Plains, and it is very easy to find substitutes. Therefore, the desire for the Central Plains in overseas places can be said to be extremely high.
Of course, this matter still depends on Mr. Huo Wu’s opinion.
A snake cannot survive without a head. If this group of people from the overseas land rush up like a ball of loose sand, even if Dong Qi does not have much strength to set up defenses on the coast, they will not be able to break through.
Only when the forces of the entire overseas land are connected together can they break through Dong Qi's defense line.
And now in the entire overseas land, the only person with the greatest power and prestige is the fifth master Huo in front of him.
At this time, Nalan Hai snorted again: "Chu Xiu, what you say is better than what you sing.
Do you really think others don’t know about your situation in the Central Plains?
Our forces from the East China Sea attacked the coastal border of Dong Qi and put pressure on Dong Qi, but it was you who gained in the end.
This kind of thing is equivalent to us helping you share the pressure, but you are talking about cooperation here, which is simply ridiculous!"
Chu Xiu frowned.
Nalan Hai has always been targeting him. Before, Chu Xiu thought that he had offended him unintentionally, but now it seems that this person simply has a dark and suspicious personality and will subconsciously question anyone.
Chu Xiu was not surprised that this kind of person had his legs chopped off by Kang Dongming.
I had met Kang Dongming and Chu Xiu. He was a man who had nothing but his sword. With Kang Dongming's character, he would never take the initiative to conflict with anyone.
When Kang Dongming made a move against Nalan Hai, it must have been because this guy kept blocking Kang Dongming's way without mercy, which forced Kang Dongming to take action.
Even now Chu Xiu couldn't help but want to take action and cripple both of his arms.
Chu Xiu said calmly: "What Master Nalan said is wrong. I have benefited, so don't you all benefit?
When you do something, don't look at how much others profit. No matter how much others profit, it belongs to others. You must first see whether you are losing or gaining, right?
If you attack Dong Qi, I alone will gain, but you will lose. That means I took advantage of you.
But now that we are taking action, both you and I can benefit and each get what we need. What is this other than cooperation?"
Nalan Hai wanted to say something else, but Chu Xiu simply said calmly: "May I ask if the person in charge of this Supreme Island is Mr. Huo Wu or you, Nalan Hai?
It seems that I gave this birthday gift to the wrong person, it should be given to you, the Master of Nalan Island, not to Mr. Huo Wu."
Nalan Hai's expression suddenly changed, and he realized that he had indeed gone too far just now.
Huo Wuye barely spoke, he just kept talking loudly, and even the disciples of the Huo family looked a little unkind when they saw him.
"Chu Xiu! Don't try to sow discord between me and my adoptive father!"
Chu Xiu spread his hands and said: "Huo Wuye hasn't refused yet, so you refused on his behalf. This is not a provocation, but a fact."
Just when Nalan Hai was about to say something, Huo Wuye waved his hand and said, "Okay, Fourth Brother, please stop talking."
Nalan Hai stepped aside with a gloomy expression, while Huo Wuye looked at Chu Xiu with a very 'kind' look.
"Little friend Chu, you really need my help from the East China Sea right now?"
Chu Xiu did not hide anything and said directly: "If we fight hard, my side may not lose, but the loss will be huge.
Join forces with warriors from the East China Sea to attack Dong Qi. Under a double attack, Dong Qi will definitely lose.
Therefore, if I don’t need the warriors from the East China Sea to take action, I won’t make such a trip myself.”
Huo Wuye nodded and said: "Well, I will accept this matter!"
As soon as these words came out, let alone others, even Chu Xiu was surprised.
He also didn't expect that Mr. Huo Wu would agree so easily.
But at this moment, Huo Wuye suddenly said: "But, I have one more request. As long as you can agree to it, little friend Chu, I will immediately gather people to attack Dong Qi."
"What request?"
Chu Xiu was not surprised that Huo Wuye made a request.
If Mr. Huo Wu agreed so simply, Chu Xiu would be surprised.
Huo Wuye looked at Chu Xiu and said with a look of surprise in his eyes: "Young Chu, from a young age to now, is definitely a brilliant figure in the world, and I am very happy to see him.
In the whole overseas world, I am somewhat unknown and powerful, and I am much older than you, little friend Chu.
How about this? Today, in front of everyone, I will adopt you as my adopted son. From now on, everyone is my own family. There is no cooperation or non-cooperation. If your own family is in trouble, how can you not help?
And you don’t have to worry that after becoming my adopted son, you will be bound to the East China Sea. Although I am old, I am still very open-minded.
Qiu Tianya wanted to pursue the ultimate in swordsmanship, but I didn't stop him. Zhao Yuanfeng wanted to return to the Central Plains to found his country, but I didn't stop him either.
After solving the problem in Dong Qi, if you want to go back to the Central Plains, little friend Chu, I will not stop you.
Little friend Chu, what do you think?"
Huo Wuye still had a kind smile on his face, as if he was waiting for Chu Xiu to bow before him.
But he didn't notice that the smile on Chu Xiu's face was gradually disappearing.
