The establishment of the Zhenwu Hall not only made the Giant Spirit Gang feel uneasy, but actually all the sects who received the news were so. Of course, some big sects still had some confidence.
For example, the old top forces like Piaoxue City in the Far North and Huangfu Clan have some ancestors who are latent cultivators in the clan. When a crisis comes, their trump cards are definitely more terrifying than what outsiders see.
For example, when Daguangming Temple received the invitation, they did not send it to the abbot and threw it away directly.
For the current Daguangming Temple, they are looking at the entire world, and they are not in the mood to continue messing around with Chu Xiu and others here in Beiyan. As long as Chu Xiu doesn't mess with them, Daguangming Temple will not bother to take care of Chu Xiu.
Therefore, under this strange atmosphere in the entire Beiyan Wulin, everyone is choosing to deal with it silently.
Three days later, the Zhenwu Hall was officially opened, but it was deserted. Not to mention the sects in the world, not even the Wushang Taoist priest came.
He and Chu Xiu have already fallen out. From now on, he will only be responsible for internal affairs. He has no intention of intervening in the matters that Chu Xiu is responsible for. At least for the time being, he will not have any serious conflicts with Chu Xiu, and of course he will not come to Chu Xiu.
Hugh supports.
At this moment, Xiang Wu walked into the lobby of Zhenwu Hall, carrying a fruit basket full of bananas in his hand.
Xiang Wu casually handed the banana fruit basket to Tang Ya who was coming towards him, and while looking around, he said: "This is a gift for opening your house, a great tonic for your virility.
By the way, your Zhenwu Hall has a bad start. The Kaifu is so deserted, and there is not even a single person to support it? The same is true for Your Majesty, why don’t you use the power of the Northern Yan court to issue an edict to the world?"
Chu Xiu's face was a little weird. He gave a basket of bananas as a gift? And bananas can aphrodisiac? Where did Xiang Wu come to this conclusion?
In fact, it's not that Xiang Wu is stingy. This thing can only grow in the southern barbarian land and a small area in Western Chu. It's not easy to eat fresh bananas in Beiyan. These things are quite expensive.
Chu Xiu asked someone to serve Xiang Wu a cup of tea: "It's deserted in front of the door today, but maybe it will be crowded tomorrow? Thank you Lord Marquis for coming to support me. I wonder if you have any other advice?"
Xiang Wu and Chu Xiu didn't have much of a friendship. Although they had talked, they could only be regarded as acquaintances. Dingtian just had no ill feelings towards each other.
As a result, now Xiang Wu came to support him in person and presented him with a basket of 'precious' bananas. I'm afraid he didn't just want to make good friends with Chu Xiu.
Xiang Wu laughed and said, "I can't talk about advice. I just want you to do a small favor."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the small favor?"
Xiang Wudao: "Last time, the one who participated in the Demon-Slaying Alliance and besieged you was that old boy Fang Datong from the giant spirit gang.
To be honest, this old boy doesn't have much strength. He looks rough, but he is a good hand in business.
The trade route from Beiyan to Dongqi was well organized by him. The Juling Gang was extremely rich. The Inner Sect alone had tens of thousands of members, spanning Northern Yan and Dongqi.
If you attack the Djinn Gang, you will take away the gang's income, and keep that trade route for me. Don't destroy it."
Chu Xiu said in surprise: "Master Hou is very short of money? But with the strength of the Giant Spirit Gang, it seems that it can't stop you, Master Hou. If you want to destroy the Giant Spirit Gang and seize the other party's trade route, it is very simple."
At Xiang Wu's level, ordinary money should be nothing more than an illusion to him, and some precious cultivation resources are the most important.
Xiang Wu sighed helplessly and said: "Of course, there is a shortage of money. As one of the five armies of Zhenguo, the Xiling Army has enough daily expenses, but you also have a lot of people under you. You should know that you want to let the people under you
To be convinced, at least you have to be able to come up with the real thing.
How can it be that simple to feed your subordinates bran-thick vegetables and make them fight for you?
As a general, I spend a lot of money. It costs nothing to eat bananas. It costs nothing to reward my soldiers. If my soldiers die in battle, in addition to the pension given to them by the court, don’t I, the general, need to express my gratitude?
?”
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows. This martial art was indeed not that simple. He seemed lazy, but in fact his ability was not weak.
According to Chu Xiu's knowledge, the Xiling Army should be the weakest among the five armies of Zhenguo. However, since Xiang Wu became the general, it only took a few years to develop the entire Xiling Army to a level that is not inferior to the other four armies.
At this point, this is already not easy.
Xiang Wu suddenly whispered: "As for why I didn't take action personally, you should have guessed that the place where the Giant Spirit Gang is located is not under my jurisdiction, and as the general of Beiyan, I want to destroy it for my own selfish purposes."
If the Giant Spirit Gang, one of the six major gangs, cannot protect the Da Guangming Temple, the monks will come and complain. Although I am not afraid of them, I do not want to be punished by His Majesty."
Chu Xiu nodded clearly.
The Northern Yan court was not monolithic, at least that was the case among the five armies of Zhenguo.
Otherwise, Xiang Wu would not have come to him and would have just spoken to the general in charge of the Giant Spirit Gang area.
"Does the Marquis believe in me so much that our Zhenwu Hall can gain a firm foothold in Beiyan?" Chu Xiu suddenly asked.
Xiang Wu stood up and said with a smile: "To be honest, I don't believe it, it's just a gamble.
If you win the bet, I will make you your friend. If you need anything in the Beiyan court from now on, feel free to come to me. If the bet loses, I will only lose a basket of bananas."
After saying that, Xiang Wu turned around and left.
Mei Qinglian squinted her eyes and said, "This martial artist is actually a very interesting guy."
Chu Xiu nodded and said: "It's very interesting, utilitarian and aboveboard."
Xiang Wu's words were very direct. He was investing in advance. Only if Chu Xiu could gain a firm foothold and help him obtain the trade routes of the Giant Spirit Gang, would he reciprocate and help Chu Xiu. On the contrary, there would be no need for more
said.
Tang Ya carried a basket of bananas and said, "Sir, what should I do with these bananas?"
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said: "You guys divide it up. After you finish eating, it's time to start working."
As he said that, Chu Xiu's eyes showed a hint of coldness.
Tang Ya nodded, and just as he was about to carry the banana out, Mei Qinglian waved his hand and said, "Give me one."
Tang Ya glanced at Mei Qinglian strangely. Didn't Xiang Wu just say that this thing was used to aphrodisiac? Women also need to aphrodisiac?
………………………
On the border of Yandong, in Qishui County, Chu Xiu only took Mei Qinglian, Tang Ya and more than ten people to lurk here.
In fact, Chu Xiu didn't plan to attack the Giant Spirit Gang so quickly. After all, the opponent was one of the six major gangs and had a somewhat special status. Chu Xiu planned to attack them one by one from bottom to top.
But because of Xiang Wu's visit, and the fact that Fang Datong did attack him on top of the Demon-Slaying Alliance, and Chu Xiu also gave him a chance, he did not cherish it. In this way, he put his primary target
For him, it's okay.
But when she saw that Chu Xiu only brought a dozen people, Mei Qinglian was puzzled.
"It's just a gang of giant spirits. They just knocked on the door and killed Fang Datong. The rest are a bunch of mobs who are vulnerable. Why are you still lurking here?"
In the inn, Mei Qinglian asked Chu Xiu in confusion.
Chu Xiu poured himself a cup of tea and said: "It is easy to kill Fang Datong, and it is also easy to destroy the Giant Spirit Gang, but what next? Destroy the Shenwu Sect again? The Shenwu Sect can be destroyed, but what next? Provoke the Huangfu Patriarch.
And the ancestor who lived in seclusion in Piaoxue City in the far north was hostile to the entire Beiyan Wulin, and then provoked the Daguangming Temple, and finally the matter became so big that Xiang Long pushed us out as scapegoats?"
Mei Qinglian rubbed her head. In fact, she was not good at these things that were above the overall situation. Otherwise, she would not be the saint of the Yin Demon Sect, but the leader of the sect.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "Fighting and killing is not a good way to solve the problem. There is actually no conflict between the killer Datong and the controlling giant spirit gang."
Just when Mei Qinglian wanted to ask in detail, Tang Ya suddenly walked in, placed a pile of information in front of Chu Xiu and said, "Sir, all the information about the senior leaders of the Giant Spirit Gang is here."
While Chu Xiu and others were secretly lurking in Qishui County, they were actually collecting information about the Giant Spirit Gang.
The Giant Spirit Gang dominates Qishui County, and more than half of the gang members are among them. There are many people talking about it, so it is not too difficult to find out these things.
Mei Qinglian suddenly said: "You want to alienate the top leaders of the Giant Spirit Gang and make them kill each other?"
Chu Xiu put down the information in his hand, threw it to Mei Qinglian and said: "The Giant Spirit Gang doesn't need us to quarrel. All I have to do is help someone."
Mei Qinglian flipped through the information and said after a while: "Is it Feng Tianyi, the elder of the Giant Spirit Gang? This person is okay. He is very senior in the Giant Spirit Gang, and he doesn't get along with Fang Datong. He often contradicts Fang Datong, so he is okay.
Take advantage of it."
Chu Xiu smiled and said: "I'm not talking about Feng Tianyi, but him, Fang Datong's sworn brother, deputy gang leader Shen Feiying."
Mei Qinglian frowned and said, "Why did you choose him? Shen Feiyan is Fang Datong's sworn brother. When Fang Datong first became the leader of the gang, he promoted Shen Feiying, who was still a fragrance master of the Giant Spirit Gang, to the helmsman.
Let him serve as the deputy gang leader, and he has great trust.
And in the later period, Shen Feiying even repaid his kindness. Datong was obedient to his orders. As long as it was Fang Datong's order, he would execute it unconditionally. He could be called Fang Datong's right-hand man. How can you alienate such a person and instigate rebellion? I'm afraid.
In the end, you still have to work hard."
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "You are wrong about this. Sometimes the brother who seems to be trying to stab you is actually eager to stab you in his heart.
Knowing people but not their hearts, there is a devil living in everyone's heart.
Holy girl, your maiden method can penetrate people's hearts, but in fact you are just forcing the method to change people's hearts. The real people's hearts are more complicated than you think."
Mei Qinglian nodded thoughtfully, but then she suddenly realized that she seemed to be older than Chu Xiu, but why did Chu Xiu look like he had seen through the world?
