Prince Lu Longji was actually the most unlucky one to be hit by an unforeseen disaster.
Because he didn't know what was going on from the beginning, and suddenly his layout in the southwest was ruined by Chu Xiu, who could he ask to reason?
Going to seek revenge on Chu Xiu? Now Chu Xiu is hanging out with the second prince, and he is being banned here. He wants to use the power of the court to teach Chu Xiu a lesson. If things get too big, he will probably be the unlucky one.
And now Lu Longji has no way even if he wants to teach his subordinates a lesson.
Li Yuan was already dead, so he couldn't really dig him out and whip his body again.
Eunuch Chen is Lu Longji's confidant, and can even be said to be the kind of person who will never betray him. He also controls various forces under Lu Longji, so Lu Longji can't blame him too much.
So Lu Longji had no choice but to say angrily: "Okay, let's forget about this matter for now, but next time if you dare to do these things on your own initiative, then you can go and take care of yourself!"
Eunuch Chen nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I don't dare anymore."
The prince's side was all gloomy, but the second prince was very proud at this moment.
Almost all the warriors in the southwest have joined the Second Prince's command.
Of course, it wouldn't work if they didn't choose to take refuge with the second prince. For example, Zheng Tiantu and others have already chosen to become traitors. If they don't take refuge with the second prince at this time, who will help them block the prince's revenge?
The other forces that chose neutrality were completely following the trend and followed them to join the Second Prince.
So after returning to Daliang City, the second prince personally called Chu Xiu and said sincerely: "Chu Xiu, are you really unwilling to join my king?
You have also seen my strength. My eldest brother was just born earlier than me. In terms of strength and ability, how can he compare to me?
If you join my army, I will never treat you badly.
Eunuch Li is the king's confidant eunuch. If the king comes to Dabao in the future, he will be the general manager of the palace.
And if you, Chu Xiu, seek refuge with me, then I will dare to grant you the position of general! You will be granted the title of marquis and prime minister, and it is up to you to choose!"
This time Lu Longguang really saw Chu Xiu's strength and ability.
There are actually quite a few masters and strong men under his command, some who advise him, and some who specialize in killing people, but there is only one missing person like Chu Xiu, who is not bad at scheming and calculation, and is also powerful enough to stand alone.
.
So this time Lu Longguang was sincerely recruiting Chu Xiu, and even made a promise to become a marquis.
However, Chu Xiu still just shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I can't let down the kindness of the Guanzhong Hall Master. The Guanzhong Punishment Hall has failed me, so naturally I can't let the Guanzhong Punishment Hall down."
Chu Xiu said it was high-sounding, but there was a sneer in his heart. It was impossible for him to seek refuge with any prince of Dong Qi in this life.
Not to mention that Chu Xiu was not the kind of person who was willing to be subordinate to others all the time. The main reason was that he knew how long the Eastern Qi Emperor Lu Haochang could live.
The only advantage of this most undistinguished emperor in the history of Dong Qi was that he lived a long time, which almost killed his two sons.
If Chu Xiu joins Lu Longguang's subordinates, he may wait until the day when he is granted the title of Marquis and becomes Prime Minister. It may be in a certain year or month. Unless he can assassinate Lu Haochang and send him back to the west as soon as possible, it is probably possible.
Lu Longguang frowned and said: "I know you want to repay the kindness of Guanzhong Torture Hall, but a good bird chooses the right tree, and Guanzhong Torture Hall is not a good place.
Regardless of the current situation of Guanzhong Xingtang, it is because Guanzhong Xingtang has rarely encountered a peaceful period when the Three Kingdoms are temporarily free of disputes, so Guanzhong Xingtang has prospered and developed through the trade of the Three Kingdoms.
But if one day the Three Kingdoms go to war, let alone the Three Kingdoms, even if two of them go to war together, the Guanzhong Punishment Hall will not be able to withstand it."
After all, Lu Longguang is the second prince of Dong Qi. He doesn't think about the internal fight with the prince all day long. He also understands the general trend of the world.
The same is naturally true for the Guanzhong Punishment Hall. Some people in the world have long seen that the times create heroes, and it is also the time for heroes to build momentum.
The Guanzhong Punishment Hall happened to have Chu Kuangge and Guan Siyu emerging one after another, and it happened to coincide with the armistice period of the Three Kingdoms, so it developed to its current scale. However, if the next generation of Guanzhong Punishment Hall leaders are incompetent and unable to maintain such a balance,
Or if something unexpected happens between the Three Kingdoms, then the location of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall will be in danger.
Chu Xiu still shook his head and said: "Thank you for your love, Your Highness, but I may disappoint Your Highness."
Hearing what Chu Xiu said, Lu Longguang did sigh in disappointment, but he didn't force it.
It's not sweet to be coercive. He is not an idiot enough to forcefully recruit Chu Xiu into his employ.
Lu Longguang waved his hand and said: "Since you don't want to join my subordinates, I won't force you. In this way, I have one more thing to do. I want to ask you to do a favor and visit Donghai County.
"
Chu Xiu originally wanted to refuse, using the excuse that he wanted to return to the Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
However, when he heard Lu Longguang talking about Donghai County, his heart suddenly moved, because in the original plot, the place where Li Yuan got the chance inheritance was in Donghai County, which made Chu Xiu think a little bit.
"Oh, what's the matter? Your Highness, please tell me."
Lu Longguang said: "That's right. Master Tan Yuan, a holy monk from the East China Sea, is going to come to the Central Plains to preach today. In fact, Master Tan Yuan is old and is about to expire, so he plans to return to the Central Plains to pass away and return to the ruins.
Because Master Tan Yuan's reputation is so great, when Master Tan Yuan comes ashore, our Eastern Qi royal family and many people in the world will come out to greet him."
Speaking of this, Lu Longguang looked a little depressed and said: "My father will definitely not come forward, so if you want to send someone with enough weight, my eldest brother has the status of the prince, so he is naturally the first choice.
This kind of reputation-building thing is basically not difficult for him, but although my father didn't let me go, he didn't tell me not to send people.
The people under my command are not easy to use, so I can trouble you to bring gifts to Master Tan Yuan for me. Anyway, I just need to show my name in front of Master Tan Yuan and many people in the world."
Chu Xiu listened quietly, but there was a strange look in his eyes.
Because the inheritance Li Yuan received in the original plot belongs to Master Tan Yuan.
Speaking of which, Master Tan Yuan is really famous, but it is not because of his strength, but because of what he has done. Of course, Master Tan Yuan is also very powerful. At his peak, he was even
A strong man in the realm of true fire refining gods.
This Master Tan Yuan was not born in Daguangming Temple, nor in Subhuti Zen Temple, but was just a monk from a small temple.
He was already in his fifties when he reached the Three Flowers Gathering Stage, but from that time Master Tan Yuan decided to travel east alone to spread Buddhism.
There are many islands in the East China Sea. These islands are large and small. Some places are as big as a state capital, and some are as big as a county. Therefore, there are many people. However, due to the harsh environment, there are often natural disasters such as storms and tsunamis.
, so the warriors on the islands in the East China Sea are somewhat violent in nature.
It was in this environment that Master Tan Yuan traveled east alone, spreading Buddhism on every island and resolving hostility and hatred. During this period, he experienced countless dangers and great horrors between life and death. His martial arts cultivation also improved unexpectedly.
He quickly climbed to the realm of martial arts master and became a famous master in the East China Sea.
And if that's the case, Master Tan Yuan's fame will not reach the Central Plains. What really made Master Tan Yuan famous all over the world was decades ago, when a small island was swallowed up by a tsunami, and a warrior asked Master Tan Yuan to save him.
For the people on his island, Master Tan Yuan actually took action and used his own power to fight against the mighty forces of heaven and earth, and even entered the Real Fire God Refining Realm under the pressure.
It's just that even in the realm of true fire refining gods, it is no match for the continuous power of heaven and earth. In the end, although Master Tanyuan saved the island, his own foundation was also damaged. Not only was he severely injured, he even fell back.
Once he reaches the realm of martial arts master, it is impossible to make any progress in this life, so although he is a strong man in the realm of true fire refining gods, he only stayed in this realm for one day.
As this incident spread to the Central Plains, Master Tan Yuan was recognized by the entire world as a true Buddhist master. Even Daguangming Temple and Subhuti Monastery admired him very much.
It is not easy to go alone to a barren land like the East China Sea to spread Buddhism, but Master Tanyuan is willing to give up his powerful cultivation in the True Fire God Refining Realm to save the people on that island. Such a talent deserves to be
He is called a holy monk, a holy monk who truly has compassion for the world.
What a warrior pursues all his life is ultimate power. Even if the monks at Daguangming Temple talk about compassion all day long, Chu Xiu can guarantee that none of the monks at Daguangming Temple will give up on themselves.
Cultivation to save the life of an island.
Chu Xiu had never had a good impression of monks, but Master Tan Yuan could be called a true Buddhist master, and he could not find any stain on his personal morality.
According to what the second prince said, Master Tan Yuan came to the Central Plains this time because his life was approaching, and he was preparing to return to his roots and pass away in the Central Plains. However, only Chu Xiu knew that this Master Tan Yuan was probably not only a
It's because he wants to return to his roots after falling leaves, and he also wants to find a successor.
After all, Master Tan Yuan is also a warrior, and he must be obsessed with the inheritance of martial arts.
When he was in the East China Sea, he was only focused on spreading Buddhism and resolving the hostility and hatred of the warriors in the East China Sea. How could he have time to teach his disciples?
So when he came to the Central Plains this time, he also wanted to find a reliable heir for himself before he died.
However, Chu Xiu never understood why Master Tan Yuan chose Li Yuan to be his successor in the original plot. At least Chu Xiu couldn't see any similarity between Li Yuan and Master Tan Yuan.
But these are not important anymore. Li Yuan is dead. If Chu Xiu wants to seize Li Yuan's inheritance, he only needs to do one thing, and that is to try his best to lean towards Li Yuan.
As for whether this trick works, it depends on luck.
