Mr. Lu has completely regarded Chu Xiu as one of his own, so he can be said to know everything about Chu Xiu. He directly told Chu Xiu the cause and effect of the matter.
Lu Haochang, the Kaiyuan Emperor of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, was not the most famous emperor of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, nor was he the emperor with the most outstanding abilities, but he was the emperor with the most difficult background.
The previous generation of Emperor Dong Qi died unexpectedly and prematurely without leaving any heirs, which led to civil strife within the Eastern Qi royal family, which could be said to be a bloody river. In the end, it even involved some forces in the Eastern Qi court, which also led to the great loss of some of Dong Qi's strength.
In the end, an ancestor from the Dong Qi royal family who had been practicing in seclusion for many years personally intervened, and the matter was completely settled. The result was that among the many direct royal families, some were selected with low cultivation talents and mediocre abilities.
Lu Haochang came to be the emperor.
And the first thing Ma Yingchang did when he just succeeded to the throne was to give birth to a son, and he worked hard to have a son.
The lessons learned from the past generation of emperors are right in front of us. He had no heirs, which led to instability in the throne. It can be said that it was harmful to others and himself.
As a result, Ma Yingying has accomplished nothing over the years. His greatest achievement is the birth of more than thirty sons. He himself has easily lived to be eighty years old, but he has no plans to abdicate.
Ma Yingying's abilities were mediocre, but few of his sons were mediocre, especially those at the front.
The current case of Qiu Zhensheng stems from the struggle between the crown prince and the second prince of the Eastern Qi Dynasty.
Lu Haochang's reign was a little too long. Although he established the crown prince early, he also gave some opportunities to other princes in disguise, especially the second prince of Dong Qi, Lu Longguang, whose ambition and ability were not inferior to the prince's.
I already had the idea of replacing it.
Because of the strong attitude of the second prince, the prince felt a sense of crisis and constantly looked for allies within Dong Qi.
Jiang Wenyuan was one of the prince's allies, and the other one was a hall master of the White Tiger Hall. As a result, the hall master was unexpectedly killed not long after he promised the prince, which made the prince change his target in a hurry.
, eyeing Qiu Zhensheng, the owner of Pegasus Ranch.
A month ago, Qiu Zhensheng went to Julong Pavilion, and the person he invited was the prince's person. He wanted to win Qiu Zhensheng to join the prince's side, but he was rejected by Qiu Zhensheng.
Later, the prince secretly investigated Qiu Zhensheng, and unexpectedly learned that Qiu Zhensheng had secretly contacted the second prince before.
To be fair, Pegasus Ranch is very important to Dong Qi, but Qiu Zhensheng himself is not very important.
After all, Qiu Zhensheng is only a warrior in the realm of harmony between man and nature. Warriors in this realm are considered great masters in the world and are respected by everyone. However, in the entire Eastern Qi court, they can only be said to be the backbone of the force.
For example, Wang Jin, the deputy general manager, and Fang Zhenqi, a general, are both in the realm of harmony between man and nature. This realm is not uncommon in the Eastern Qi court.
Therefore, even though he knew that Qiu Zhensheng had taken refuge with the second prince, the prince actually had no murderous intentions towards Qiu Zhensheng. Jiang Wenyuan sent Mr. Lu to kill Qiu Zhensheng just to muddy the waters and prevent the second prince from becoming too powerful.
Duo surpassed the crown prince, causing the Dong Qi royal family to start fighting among themselves.
After hearing this, Chu Xiu also let out a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that this matter actually had something to do with him.
The butterfly effect is very scary. If the leader of the White Tiger Hall had not died, I am afraid that the prince would not have thought of recruiting Qiu Zhensheng, and naturally this series of things would not have happened.
Speaking of which, Qiu Zhensheng was implicated to death by him, which can be considered a trick of fate.
But then Chu Xiu suddenly remembered something, and he asked: "By the way, when you were fighting Qiu Zhensheng, did you feel that something was wrong with the other party?
After the autopsy at the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, I found that Qiu Zhensheng had been poisoned by the toxin of July Begonia."
Mr. Lu chuckled and said: "Of course I discovered that although Qiu Zhensheng came from a rough background, he was not an unknown person. I thought killing him would waste some effort, but I didn't expect it to be so simple.
I thought it was Jiang Wenyuan who acted secretly, but later I found out that it was not Jiang Wenyuan's plan."
Chu Xiu nodded. This matter was indeed as Cheng Zhouhai had deduced. The poisoner and the murderer were not the same person. It seemed that there was still some hidden secret in this.
Mr. Lu asked: "I killed the person, and now Jiang Wenyuan wants to kill you. What are you going to do?"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Senior, don't worry, this matter will not involve the Formless Demon Sect. In fact, this matter has nothing to do with the Formless Demon Sect.
In fact, if Jiang Wenyuan doesn't kill me this time, I won't bother to pay attention to him. When the matter is found out about Jiang Wenyuan, it involves a struggle between the crown prince and the second prince, so I don't need to pay attention to him.
But this time Jiang Wenyuan wants to kill me. If I just let him go, he will want to kill me a second time if I don't protect him!"
In the land of Dong Qi, Jiang Wenyuan is an extremely special existence. Although he is still seeking death, it is undeniable that the power Jiang Wenyuan can use is not ordinary.
Currently, he is cooperating with the Wuxiang Demon Sect and can force the Wuxiang Demon Sect to help him, but in fact, Jiang Wenyuan also has great masters in the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and there are more than one.
Mr. Lu said: "Since you have ideas, that's all. If you are a member of the Holy Cult and need my help, you can contact me at any time. You are welcome.
And if your identity is exposed in the Guanzhong torture hall, don't be afraid, you can come to my phaseless demon sect.
Although the Holy Religion has been destroyed, the people of the Holy Religion are still there, and they will not leave you without a place to stay."
Chu Xiu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior."
Mr. Lu shook his head and said: "You're welcome, our Holy Religion has withered so much now. Not to mention that you are a direct descendant of my Holy Religion, even if you want to join my Formless Demon Sect halfway, I will treat you like this.
.”
As he spoke, Mr. Lu nodded twice at the place behind Chu Xiu, with a mysterious look in his eyes, and whispered: "There is a little mouse behind us. His concealment skills are quite good. He almost deceived me."
It’s over, you can figure it out..."
After finishing speaking, Mr. Lu left directly. A strange color appeared in Chu Xiu's eyes. With a movement of his body, the inner binding seal burst out. The speed reached the extreme speed. In an instant, he had arrived at a building behind him.
In the alley, what appeared in front of him was Chu Xiaode, who looked panicked and was ready to escape at any time!
At this time, Chu Xiaode could be said to be extremely regretful, regretting why he had to be curious and come to watch.
Chu Xiu was wandering around the Jeju Mansion before. In fact, Chu Xiaode did the same, but he did not follow Chu Xiu intentionally, but accidentally saw Chu Xiu's back.
At that time, Chu Xiaode just wanted to say hello to Chu Xiu, but he saw Chu Xiu leaving quickly with a black shadow. Chu Xiaode was confused and followed him directly.
He is the adopted son of Chu Simo, but he has not actually practiced many Western Regions techniques. He only has one technique that he got by accident, which is a Western Region technique that can increase his own speed and conceal his aura.
It was precisely because of this skill that he was able to overhear so many things not far from Mr. Lu and Chu Xiu.
It's just that what Chu Simo heard was a bit too shocking. The truth about Qiu Zhensheng's death was just an internal fight in the royal family. After all, he had been in the Guanzhong torture hall for so many years, and he had seen every bizarre case.
Been there.
But the subsequent conversation between Chu Xiu and the man in black robe about the Kunlun Demon Cult almost made Chu Xiaode cry out in shock.
He never expected that Chu Xiu would be related to the Kunlun Demon Cult! This is a life-threatening matter!
It was precisely because he was shocked by the news that Chu Xiaode's mood fluctuated slightly, which led to a flaw in his concealment and was discovered by Mr. Lu.
Chu Xiu looked at Chu Xiaode and said expressionlessly: "If I say that I actually have nothing to do with the Kunlun Demon Cult, I just lied to that person, would you believe it?"
Chu Xiaode showed Chu Xiu a smile that was uglier than crying, and said, "I said I believe it, do you believe it or not?"
What Chu Xiaode said was like a tongue twister, but in fact, when it came to this kind of thing, even if he said he believed it, how could Chu Xiu believe it?
Chu Xiu glanced around and said calmly: "No warrior will come here. You know my strength. Are you sure you can escape from my hands?"
Chu Xiaode's heart sank. Not to mention Chu Xiu who had now reached the Three Flowers Gathering Realm, even Chu Xiu who was in the Waigang Realm during the competition in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall was someone he could only look up to.
Li Tianhao easily defeated and humiliated him, but Chu Xiu easily defeated Li Tianhao. This gap in strength goes without saying.
Just when Chu Xiaode wanted to fight to the death, Chu Xiu suddenly said: "Do you want to die or live?"
Chu Xiaode's eyes froze and he said subconsciously: "Of course I want to live."
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Since you want to live, then I will give you a chance to live.
It doesn't matter whether I am a member of the Kunlun Demon Cult or not. Since you have seen all this, I can't let you go so easily.
In the past, the Kunlun Demon Cult had a secret seal called the Holy Fire Seal, and its shape was based on the rootless holy fire now at the top of West Kunlun.
I know what this mark looks like. Let me leave a holy fire mark on your arm. In this way, you and I will both become members of the Kunlun Demon Cult. Each of us has something to hold in each other's hands. Naturally, I don't need to kill you.
Already."
Chu Xiaode's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said angrily: "By doing this, wouldn't I become your servant Chu Xiu, holding the handle in your hands, and letting you control it, so you might as well kill me."
good!"
In Chu Xiaode's view, Chu Xiu was originally a member of the Kunlun Demon Sect. Even if he was discovered, he could join the Wuxiang Demon Sect and transform from a young hero in Guanzhong's torture hall into a hero of the demonic path.
Chu Xiaode, on the other hand, was simply wronged. He has kept the handle in Chu Xiu's hands for the rest of his life, letting the other party manipulate him. In Chu Xiaode's opinion, life is worse than death!
