Chapter seven hundred and ninety seventh persecution
Before Chu Xiu left for the Eastern Qi Dynasty, Xiang Long had approached him and asked him to garrison the Daguangming Temple, but Chu Xiu pushed him away and did not take him seriously.
Xiang Long wanted to seduce Daguangming Temple at this time, but Chu Xiu didn't want to be the knife in his hand.
Originally, Chu Xiu thought that he had gone to Dong Qi and deliberately shied away, thus deceiving the matter. Unexpectedly, Xiang Long was still obsessed with garrisoning troops at Daguangming Temple.
The Bitter Cold place in the far north has no value at all. Apart from irritating the Daguangming Temple, it basically has no benefit to the Northern Yan court.
At this moment, there was another movement outside Zhenwu Hall. A eunuch from the palace walked in. When he saw Chu Xiu, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said quickly: "Master Chu, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time.
It’s time, now that you have finally returned from Dong Qi, His Majesty invites you to come to the palace to discuss matters.”
Chu Xiu shook his head gently, fearing that he might not be able to escape this time.
So he first asked Mei Qinglian to help arrange Lu Fengxian's arrangements, while he entered the palace with the eunuch.
In the main hall of Beiyan Palace, Chu Xiu saw Xiang Long again.
Compared with last time, this time Xiang Long's face had obviously aged, and even his breath was getting weaker.
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, he probably guessed why Xiang Long was so persistent.
It's not that Xiang Long is confused, but that the hero of Beiyan may not have long to live.
This hero of Northern Yan spent half his life as a soldier, and spent half his life developing Northern Yan. After exhausting all his mechanisms, he surpassed Eastern Qi, and finally developed Northern Yan into a contemporary power comparable to Eastern Qi.
However, Beiyan's own foundation and potential are on display here. There are too many things that Xiang Long needs to deal with, and it consumes too much of his efforts.
For example, Emperor Lu Haochang of the Eastern Qi Dynasty was a notoriously mediocre emperor. He didn't think about anything but the word "stability", so he had time to cultivate his moral character and almost killed his own son.
And Xiang Long spent so much effort and effort, even if he has the false reputation of being a treasure of heaven and earth, it is just drinking poison to quench his thirst, and the effect will not be too big.
Before dying, leaving a stable and complete Beiyan for his descendants may be Xiang Long's last obsession.
Seeing Chu Xiu coming, Xiang Long snorted softly and said: "Chu Xiu, you are the Commander-in-Chief of our Wutang in Beiyan Town. I entrusted you with such an important position, but you ended up going out all day long."
Run, what does this sound like?"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "Your Majesty, you have wronged me. I am only alone outside, but I have not delayed the Zhenwu Hall.
My original agreement with His Majesty was that the Zhenwu Hall could help suppress the Beiyan Wulin, but now that the Beiyan Wulin is very stable and peaceful, what difference does it make if I am here or not?"
Xiang Long snorted coldly: "I'm too lazy to argue with you about these trivial matters. I told you before that Beiyan is going to garrison troops in the bitter cold land of the far north. Your Zhenwu Hall is responsible for taking the lead. Do you know this?
Already?"
Chu Xiu frowned and said: "Your Majesty, you have seen the strength of Daguangming Temple. Stationing troops in the bitter cold land of the far north is tantamount to provoking Daguangming Temple. The consequences are hard to imagine."
Xiang Long was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Chu Xiu, do you think that I have lost my mind and have to make trouble at such a critical moment to provoke those monks?"
Chu Xiu said nothing, but it was obvious that this was what he meant.
Xiang Long suddenly laughed, and then his expression suddenly darkened, and he said coldly: "I am the emperor of Beiyan, and all the mountains and rivers of Beiyan belong to me!
But those monks at Daguangming Temple don’t have me or Beiyan in their eyes!
Before you go to Dongqi, when an old monk from the Bodhidharma Academy of Daguangming Temple passed by Donglin County, because Nan Qianli, the general of the Donglin County Iron Guard, was a practicing magician, he used death row prisoners to practice magic skills in the military camp.
Sensing the aura, he broke into the military camp alone, beheaded Nan Qianli, killed hundreds of Beiyan soldiers, and finally left in a daze.
In the eyes of these monks, they only have their own rights and wrongs. How could I ever be in their eyes?
Is it possible that one day there are people in my palace who practice magic skills, and they will also come to my palace to kill them?"
After listening to Xiang Long's words, Chu Xiu's brows suddenly jumped. At this time, he didn't know how to describe the group of monks in Daguangming Temple.
Are these bald donkeys really stupid? There are no other places where you can show off your strength, yet you dare to break into the Beiyan military camp alone to kill people?
To be honest, if this kind of thing happened to Chu Xiu, he wouldn't be able to bear it either.
If the monk of Daguangming Temple is serious, that's all. The court can still talk to him about the conflict between the two parties.
But the problem is that the old monk from Daguangming Temple did it purely unintentionally.
The other party just feels that someone is practicing magic skills on that human life. Well, it doesn't matter whether the other party is General Beiyan or not, and it doesn't matter whether the other party is practicing magic skills on a death row prisoner. Anyway, it's just a sentence, kill him.
From this we can see that the monks of Daguangming Temple have never taken the Northern Yan court seriously. No wonder Xiang Long was so angry.
It's just that Xiang Long's anger is his business, but Chu Xiu has no intention of helping Xiang Long die.
So Chu Xiu said directly: "Your Majesty, the Zhenwu Hall can handle other things for you, but this matter is no different from seeking death.
The abbot of Daguangming Temple has entered the realm of heaven and earth, if he is angered, who will resist him?"
Xiang Long snorted coldly: "If the matter is simple, why would I ask you to do it? You can decide the criteria yourself. I only want the result, not the process!"
Chu Xiu wanted to continue to say something, but at this moment Lu Jianghe suddenly said: "Boy, promise him, the treasure burial place of the former Japanese Blood Demon Hall is in the bitter cold of the extreme north not far from the Daguangming Temple.
land."
Chu Xiu asked in confusion: "Are you kidding? You are from the Kunlun Demon Cult, but you ended up burying the treasure around the Daguangming Temple?"
Lu Jianghe sneered and said: "So what? With the power of our holy religion in the past, as long as I don't put things in the abbot's hut of Daguangming Temple, I can't put them anywhere?"
In the past, when Master Dugu was around, Daguangming Temple was so frightened that they didn't even dare to leave the mountain gate. It is safe enough for me to put the buried treasure there."
Lu Jianghe would not lie to him about this kind of thing, so when he heard what Lu Jianghe said, Chu Xiu could only make an expression on his face that he had to give in, and whispered: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
If Chu Xiu rashly went to the vicinity of Daguangming Temple without the order of the imperial court, he would probably be suspected by the people of Daguangming Temple.
With the order from the court, Chu Xiu had one more excuse.
Of course, on the surface, he still had to look helpless before agreeing.
After Chu Xiu left, an old eunuch appeared behind Xiang Long. It was Xiang Long's personal eunuch Han Eunuch.
He whispered: "Your Majesty, Mr. Chu seems to be very reluctant. If you force him like this, will there be any accidents?"
Xiang Long snorted coldly: "These gangsters are so wild and untamed!
Unwilling? There is no such thing as willingness or unwillingness here, only what you can do and what you can’t do!"
At this point, Xiang Long's voice suddenly became lower and he sighed: "I don't have much time.
Northern Yan was inherently weak and could not compete with Dong Qi, which was located in the Central Plains.
Even with my hard work and the fact that Dong Qi Lu Haochang is basically incompetent in this generation, I can temporarily overpower Dong Qi.
However, the strength of both sides is there. As long as a decent emperor appears in Dong Qi, Bei Yan will be in crisis.
I have no way to deal with the internal and external troubles at this time, but I want to completely solve the internal troubles while I am still alive!"
Eunuch Han shook his head silently.
Your Majesty is too anxious.
Even if Bei Yan's power in the world is not as good as that of Dong Qi, it is not that easy to solve.
Especially since His Majesty wants to borrow a knife to kill people, this is actually a risky move.
That Chu Xiu is not an obedient sword. People of the demonic lineage are the most dangerous.
Previously, His Majesty promised the Yinshan Sect's Five Calamities Taoists to make the Yinshan Sect the state religion, but Eunuch Han was somewhat opposed.
Those people from the Yinshan Sect are also from the devil's way, they act in a sinister way, and they are not good people.
As a result, His Majesty has now lured Chu Xiu here again. This man has a bad reputation in the world for a long time, and he is not a good person.
Of course, Eunuch Han would not say these things because there is no need.
He is just a servant, not a member of the Northern Yan royal family. He says what he should say and what he shouldn't say, so there is no need to speak.
Moreover, for a generation of heroes like Xiang Long, it is certain to be willful and self-willed, and he cannot listen to other people's suggestions.
But at this time, after Chu Xiu walked out of the palace, he had a gloomy look on his face.
Did Xiang Long really regard him as his subject? He actually dared to force him like this.
Zhenwu Tang and the Beiyan Imperial Court were actually only in a cooperative relationship.
Lu Jianghe chuckled in Chu Xiu's ear and said: "Don't be surprised, the imperial court has this kind of virtue. In the past, when the Kunlun Demon Sect was here, neither the Eastern Qi nor the Northern Yan dared to interfere in any affairs.
Now the emperor of Beiyan is so courageous that he even dares to attack the Great Guangming Temple."
Chu Xiu ignored Lu Jianghe, but at this time Taoist Wushang came out from the other side of the palace. Seeing Chu Xiu, Taoist Wushang showed a smile on his lips and said: "It seems that Mr. Chu, you have been entrusted with an important task by His Majesty."
,Congratulations.”
Taoist Wushang said congratulations, but his face showed a look of gloating.
It's not a good idea to go and challenge Daguangming Temple head-on.
Aren't you, Chu Xiu, capable? Aren't you high-profile?
Now, this good thing naturally happened to you, but not to me.
Chu Xiu didn't say anything. He just kept staring at Taoist Wushang. He saw that Taoist Wushang felt a little hairy in his heart, and then he said calmly: "Do you think this is a good thing? You are gloating to me now, but in fact you are the one who is laughing."
Taoist Wushang frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Chu Xiu glanced around and said, "Find a quiet place to talk."
