Everyone has seen threatening people, whether it is Liu Ji, the head of the Liu family, Eunuch Li or Fang Zhenqi, they are all old people in the world, so naturally they are no strangers to this kind of thing.
But they have never seen Chu Xiu threaten people in such a fresh and refined way.
Moreover, Chu Xiu's move was no longer a threat, it was almost like an ultimatum.
Liu Ji's old face turned red from suppressing it. Of course, he was not excited, but angry.
What's the difference between Chu Xiu's behavior and that of a robber? Is this called giving gifts? Giving away his life is almost the same.
But at this time Liu Ji really didn't know what to say, because this was a multiple-choice question.
Looking at the gifts placed on the table, Liu Ji would have been ecstatic under normal circumstances, but at this time, those things only made him feel hot, as hot as life-threatening!
He has already promised the prince, is he going to betray him now?
Of course, if he doesn't betray, then these gifts to bribe him will turn into deadly money.
Liu Ji has been hanging out in this southwest land for decades and has experienced countless killings. He saw a hint of murderous intent in Chu Xiu's eyes, an indifferent killing intent.
People with such eyes do not take human life seriously. They are more terrifying than those who look ferocious and threaten to kill this or that at every turn.
Therefore, Liu Ji believed that if he refused, the other party would really dare to lead people to massacre his Liu family right now!
Facing Chu Xiu's indifferent gaze, Liu Ji smiled bitterly and put away those things one by one.
If the prince's people were in the southwest at this time, he would still want to ask for help.
But the prince's people will not arrive until a month later. By that time, the prince's people will probably have to collect his body!
A smile appeared on Chu Xiu's face and he said: "He who knows the current affairs is a hero, and you, Master Liu, are a hero. When the day of the alliance comes, you should know which side you are on."
After finishing speaking, Chu Xiu left directly with Eunuch Li and Fang Zhenqi, leaving only Liu Ji behind with a complicated look on his face.
After leaving the Liu family, Eunuch Li said with some doubts: "Master Chu, after the Liu family collected the things, will they really stand on our side? What if they regret it?"
Chu Xiu sneered and said: "Repent? He didn't dare. By accepting our things, he betrayed the prince. Even if he went to explain to the prince immediately, the impression of him as a betrayer has been left on the prince.
Psychologically, even if the prince says he trusts him verbally, does Liu Ji dare to completely believe that the prince trusts him?"
What Chu Xiu said was like a tongue twister, but neither Eunuch Li nor Fang Zhenqi were stupid, so they both understood it immediately.
This is indeed the case. If Liu Ji accepts their things and then betrays them, it will be a disgrace to both sides. He will offend the crown prince and offend the second prince. When the time comes, as long as one of them gets angry, no one will be able to help him.
Thinking of this, Eunuch Li also glanced at Chu Xiu subconsciously. It had to be said that Chu Xiu was really ruthless in doing things.
Don't mess around, go straight to the point, and as long as they find the target, they have solved a big force in one day. In less than a month, this is plenty for them.
Although this process is indeed a bit unpleasant, Liu Ji is definitely cursing at the three of them in his heart, but these are not important, the result is the most important.
Chu Xiu looked to the east and said in a deep voice: "The next family is Dian Cang Mountain and Dian Cang Jian Sect. But before we go there, I have to trouble you two to act as kidnappers."
Eunuch Li frowned and said, "Who are you kidnapping?"
"The three sons of Han Qianting, the leader of the Diancang Sword Sect and the 'Zhuifeng Shenjian', according to the information I got from the Iron Sword Sect, none of his three sons are willing to cultivate in Diancang Mountain. Every month
They all have to go out for a day.
Seize this day's time and kidnap these three people quietly without disturbing anyone, so only the two of you are the most reliable."
Both Eunuch Li and Fang Zhenqi were somewhat resistant to Chu Xiu's mission.
After all, they are all characters with status, but now they are going to play the role of kidnappers, which is really a bit price-deprecating.
But the key is to destroy the prince's affairs at the moment. They don't care whether the price should be reduced or not, so they can only do it.
Five days later, in the Diancang Sword Sect on Diancang Mountain, Han Qianting, the head of the Diancang Sword Sect, stood on the back cliff of Diancang Mountain, frowning.
Although his three sons did not live up to expectations, they still knew the importance. They usually went down the mountain to play and would be back in a day. However, it had been two days now, but not even a shadow was seen.
"Dian Cang Mountain is a famous mountain in the southwest, but I think with Sect Master Han's mood now, you probably don't have time to appreciate the scenery of Dian Cang Mountain. It's a pity."
The moment he heard this voice, Han Qianting was startled, looked at a young warrior who suddenly appeared behind him, and shouted: "How did you get in here?"
Diancang Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Except for a small path up the mountain, it is surrounded by cliffs.
This is a forbidden area in the back mountain of Diancang Sword Sect. Only disciples of Diancang Sword Sect are eligible to enter. How did this stranger get into this place through the interrogation of so many disciples of Diancang Sword Sect?
Chu Xiu walked forward step by step. For a sect like the Diancang Sword Sect, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t have a martial arts master to guard it. It doesn’t even have a formation. With Chu Xiu’s current mental strength, he can enter this place.
There is simply no difficulty in planting a place.
Making a hissing gesture at Han Qianting, Chu Xiu said calmly: "Sect Leader Han, please lower your voice and don't attract other people. Is it possible that you don't want the lives of your three sons?"
With that said, Chu Xiu took out three jade pendants. The jade pendants were actually blood red and looked very magnificent.
These three pieces of blood jade were gifts from Han Qianting to his three sons. They can nourish Qi and blood. The shapes were all carved by him himself, so Han Qianting recognized them almost at a glance. They belonged to his sons.
Han Qianting's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted in a low voice: "What did you do to my three children?"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "It's nothing, I just invited them to be guests. But I can't guarantee what will happen to them in the future. It all depends on your attitude, Sect Leader Han."
Han Qianting said angrily: "The rules of the world are that no harm will come to the family. Who are you?"
"Can't it bring harm to the family?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "Master Han, what you said is wrong. It affects the whole body. When you make certain decisions, you and your family have already been implicated. So how do you behave?"
, it is better to be more cautious.
As for who I am, it doesn't matter. You only need to know that I am the second prince's son, and that is enough."
Han Qianting understood all this in an instant, and said coldly: "The second prince is a noble prince, but I didn't expect that he would act so despicably!"
Chu Xiu shrugged and didn't care. Anyway, Han Qianting was scolding the second prince, not him.
Looking at Han Qianting, Chu Xiu said calmly: "Sect Leader Han, please calm down, some things are not bad things.
As far as I know, the talents of the three young masters of Sect Leader Han are not that strong. In your lifetime, Sect Master Han, will the next generation of Dian Cang Sword Sect be able to be inherited by your three young masters? This is an unknown number.
The sect is not an aristocratic family, and the Diancang Sword Sect does not belong to you alone, Sect Master Han. Is it worth it to give up your own son for the benefit of the entire Diancang Sword Sect?"
Han Qianting gritted his teeth and said, "What does the second prince want?"
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said: "It's very simple. When the alliance is held in a month, just ask Cangjian Sect to side with the second prince.
Sect Master Han, don't worry, the three young masters are all safe, and there are masters teaching them martial arts.
After the completion of the matter, the three young masters will definitely return to Dian Cang Mountain safely, and if Sect Master Han needs it, the second prince will also support you, Sect Master Han, in the future, so that one of your three young masters can successfully inherit the Dian Cang Sword Sect."
Han Qianting's expression was gloomy and uncertain, Chu Xiu didn't say much, he just said lightly: "Now Sect Master Han doesn't have to worry about making any promises to me.
When the alliance comes, we will just have to see how you perform, Master Han. Anyway, as long as you remember one thing, Master Han, the lives of your three sons are in your hands."
After saying that, Chu Xiu turned around and went down the mountain without looking at Han Qianting's expression.
Chu Xiu was 90% sure that Han Qianting would choose to agree to him.
The difference between a sect and an aristocratic family is that an aristocratic family is a whole made up of blood. If one suffers a loss, both will suffer, and if one suffers a loss, both will be prosperous.
The sect is biased toward individuals. Han Qianting is just the sect leader of the Diancang Sword Sect, and the Diancang Sword Sect does not represent Han Qianting. It goes without saying which one is more important, his biological son or the future of the sect.
According to the information Zheng Tiantu gave Chu Xiu, this Sect Leader Han was not the kind of heroic person who was willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the clan. On the contrary, he had always wanted his son to take over the position of Sect Leader.
After descending from Diancang Mountain, Eunuch Li and Fang Zhenqi were waiting for him below.
"Is everything safe?" Eunuch Li asked.
Chu Xiu nodded and said: "Don't worry, Eunuch Li, I won't take action without absolute certainty.
There is only one family left now, just pick any one from Twenty-Third Village."
Eunuch Li looked a little depressed and said: "What are you going to do this time? Could it be that you want our family to kidnap people again?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "No, this time it's very simple, just throw money at it.
Most of the bandits in Twenty-Third Village are a group of rabble-rousers. What they want is very simple, which is profit.
Moreover, the prince himself did not pay much attention to these bandits, and he did not put as much effort into them as the Iron Sword Sect and others.
So as long as we spend money on it, we can directly create a copycat that will submit to the Second Prince."
Eunuch Li frowned and said, "But are the people who buy it with money reliable?"
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said: "Of course it's true. The bandits are just greedy, not idiots. Since we can spend so much money to bribe them, it means that we can also spend so much money to kill them!"
