Taoist Wushang was inexplicably taken to a restaurant by Chu Xiu. Faced with Chu Xiu alone, Taoist Wushang was still a little nervous.
In fact, Taoist Wushang came here just to mock Chu Xiu.
Previously in the Zhenwu Hall, Taoist Wushang was suppressed by Chu Xiu and was extremely aggrieved.
In name, he is the general manager of the Zhenwu Hall, but in fact, he cannot interfere with even the slightest bit of the power of the Zhenwu Hall.
Even in the martial arts world, when everyone mentions Zhenwu Hall, the first thing they think of is Chu Xiu, not him, a Taoist with extremely low sense of existence.
The reason why Xiang Long was looking for Chu Xiu this time was known to all the Taoists in Wushan, so he was gloating in his heart.
You, Chu Xiu, are high-profile and arrogant. You used to be very majestic, but now you are better and you have become a leader, right?
But who would have thought that Chu Xiu was not angry, but brought him here. Taoist Wushang was also a little uneasy. Could it be that Chu Xiu wanted to kill him?
There were many people in the palace before, but now it's quiet here, but it's a good time to take action.
But just because he laughed at Chu Xiu, he wanted to kill him. This Chu Xiu shouldn't be that crazy, right?
But judging from Chu Xiu's behavior in the past, he seems to be such a crazy person.
Taoist Wushang was thinking wildly here, but Chu Xiu suddenly said: "Taoist Wushang, do you think it is funny that your Majesty sent me to challenge Daguangming Temple this time?"
Taoist Wushang was startled by Chu Xiu's sudden opening. His body suddenly trembled and he almost ran away.
However, feeling that there was no murderous intention in Chu Xiu, Taoist Wushang smiled and said: "It's not funny. If you are a poor Taoist just now, please don't pay attention to it, Mr. Chu."
Chu Xiu glanced at Taoist Wushang strangely, wondering why Taoist Wushang had such a big reaction.
He didn't know that his power was so powerful that without saying a word, Taoist Wushang thought that he was going to kill someone.
Chu Xiu said calmly: "Taoist Master Wushang, I know you have opinions about me, but you should know where this opinion comes from.
My promise to Xiang Long to establish the Zhenwu Hall was just a transaction, and your cooperation with the Beiyan court is also a transaction.
Xiang Long can completely set up another department to accommodate you and me while establishing the Zhenwu Hall. Not only will there be no conflict, but you and I will cooperate sincerely and maximize our strength, right?"
Taoist Wushang remained silent. He was not an idiot, so he naturally knew all these things.
But knowing that he knows does not mean that he can see clearly.
Xiang Long naturally did not dare to resent him, so he had no choice but to challenge Chu Xiu. Of course, he could only secretly use some small means to conflict with Chu Xiu head-on. He did not have the courage.
Looking at Taoist Wushang, Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said word by word: "Taoist Wushang, no matter what grudges your Yinshan Sect had with the Kunlun Demon Sect in the past, you have to remember that you and I are both Jianghu people.
Rather than someone from the imperial court.
Jianghus and temples are always at odds with each other. Although Xiang Long uses us, he has never believed in us!"
Chu Xiu's words shocked Taoist Wushang's heart.
Chu Xiu was telling the truth, and he could also see that Xiang Long had indeed never believed him.
Although he has been with Xiang Long longer than Chu Xiu, to Xiang Long, both are the same.
Xiang Long didn't trust Chu Xiu, and he also didn't trust him, the Five Calamities Taoist.
After a long silence, Taoist Wushang said: "Master Chu, what do you mean now?"
Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said, "Taoist Master Wushang, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold.
Today he, Xiang Long, was able to force me to attack the Daguangming Temple, which clearly shows that Xiang Long's attitude towards these Jianghu people like me is nothing more than his lackeys.
The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey is cooked. Now that Xiang Long still has use for us, he will do this, let alone that he will no longer need us in the future.
I am the one who is unlucky today. As a Taoist leader, do you dare to say that it will never be your turn?"
Taoist Wushang's face looked a little uncertain.
To be honest, when he first learned of the news, Taoist Wushang's reaction was to gloat over Chu Xiu's misfortune.
But after Chu Xiu explained his words clearly, Taoist Wushang no longer felt gloating about his misfortune.
Emperors are ruthless, and heroes like Xiang Long are even more cold-blooded.
Chu Xiu has been the chief governor of Zhenwu Hall for such a long time, but he has helped Xiang Long get a lot of things done. It can be said that Xiang Long made a lot of money from the deal between Xiang Long and Chu Xiu.
As a result, now, I still have to fall out when I should.
After a moment of silence, Taoist Wushang asked: "What do you mean, Mr. Chu?"
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "What do I mean? Haha, it's not good to explain some things too clearly.
But I believe that you, Taoist Master Wushang, should be able to tell one thing, that is, Xiang Long may not live long.
Since Xiang Long now wants to see you and I confront each other, then you and I will act for Xiang Long's liking.
As for what happens next, let’s talk about it later.
However, I am afraid that the Beiyan court will not be peaceful for long, and I think that by then, Taoist Wushang, you should know which side you should be on."
After saying that, Chu Xiu patted Taoist Wushang on the shoulder, turned around and left.
In the restaurant, Taoist Wushang's expression was a little uncertain.
He was also a little unsure of what Chu Xiu was planning to do.
But it was obvious that Xiang Long had angered Chu Xiu this time, and judging from his tone, he was preparing for a big blow.
In front of him, Chu Xiu dared to call Xiang Long by his name. It can be imagined that he now has no respect for Xiang Long.
The Yinshan sect of Wushang Taoist is also a branch of the Taoist lineage, and it still has some skills in reading Qi.
He saw Xiang Long a few days ago. At this time, Xiang Long was indeed obsessed with death. Even with those precious treasures of heaven and earth, his own aging was irreparable.
When the day comes when Xiang Long actually dies, the Northern Yan court will be in chaos. Which side he is on is a question worthy of further investigation.
Of course now, Taoist Wushang agrees with what Chu Xiu said.
Now they are just on the same team. They can act on the surface, but they can't really kill each other on the inside.
After returning to Zhenwu Hall, Mei Qinglian wanted to ask Chu Xiu what Xiang Long told him.
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said: "Gather everyone to discuss matters in the conference hall."
A quarter of an hour later, all of Chu Xiu's elite confidantes had gathered in the Zhenwu Hall.
Mei Qinglian and Pang Hu were there, Tang Ya and other old men under Chu Xiu, and people from Zhao Chengping and the hidden demon lineage were also there.
Moreover, Lu Fengxian actually brought Shui Wuxiang and four others here.
Originally, Mei Qinglian didn't ask Lu Fengxian to come, but Lu Fengxian was in the Zhenwu Hall. He thought something had happened, so he followed him to see if he could be of any help.
Everyone knew about the relationship between Lu Fengxian and Chu Xiu, so they didn't say much.
After taking a look at everyone, Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Just now Xiang Long came to me and forced my Zhenwu Hall to take action to deal with Daguangming Temple and test the bottom line of Daguangming Temple."
Mei Qinglian frowned and said: "What on earth is Xiang Long thinking? If you go to provoke Daguangming Temple at this time, are you seeking death?"
Chu Xiu sneered and said: "Of course Xiang Long knew that he was looking for death, so he did not send Beiyan's five troops to suppress the country, but sent me to suppress the martial arts hall. Why? It's just to drive away tigers and swallow wolves.
The five Zhenguo armies are Beiyan's own people, and we are outsiders. The most important thing is that we belong to the Yinmo lineage. Once something happens to me, how can the Yinmo lineage just let it go?
At that time, there is no need for the Beiyan court to take action. The Yinmo lineage itself will fight against the Daguangming Temple. Even if the two sides are Immortal Sect, their vitality will be severely damaged. Anyway, no matter how you look at it, the Beiyan court will benefit.
."
Pang Hu touched his head and sneered: "Let me just say, that old guy Xiang Long is not an easy character to get along with. We are just cooperating with him and seeking skin from the tiger.
Chu Xiu, otherwise you can lead the Zhenwu Hall to rebel against Beiyan, and I, the Qilian Village, will still follow you. In this land of Beiyan, the power that we can create by joining forces is not even inferior to that of the three Beidis in the past.
Sixteen giant bandits!”
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "Rebeled Beiyan? During this period, I led the Zhenwu Hall to help him suppress so many Jianghu sects in the Beiyan court. These are all achievements. Now that I am gone, wouldn't everything be lost?"
Gone?
Even if we have to leave, we can’t just leave so lightly, otherwise wouldn’t we be in a big loss?”
Mei Qinglian frowned and said, "What if you don't leave? Are you really ready to challenge the Daguangming Temple?"
Chu Xiu said: "We will discuss the matter of Daguangming Temple later. For now, you should all be careful and try to maintain your strength and not conflict with the people in the imperial court. The same is true for the people on the side of Wushang Taoist people.
In addition, I would like to meet with Senior Wei to discuss something."
Mei Qinglian asked: "What happened?"
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "I want to ask Senior Wei if he has any plans to let the Yinmo lineage settle down in Beiyan.
After wandering for so long, the Hidden Demon Lineage should have a stable place to stay, without having to hide underground all the time."
Hearing what Chu Xiu said, Mei Qinglian was suddenly shocked. What was Chu Xiu planning to do? Could he rebel directly?
The identity of the Yinmo lineage is special. Even if the Yinmo lineage joins them collectively, Xiang Long would not dare to accept them. Otherwise, wouldn't Beiyan become a devil's cave?
As for Chu Xiu, that is a special case.
Chu Xiu has always appeared openly and openly in front of the Jianghu people. It was not long ago that he revealed his identity as a member of the Hidden Demon lineage. He also fought against the offensives of the two major alliances of the Northern Yan and the Eastern Qi. He has the qualifications to appear openly in the Jianghu.
So there is no problem if Xiang Long is simply cooperating with Chu Xiu.
Although Mei Qinglian knew that Chu Xiu had always been very courageous, this time he actually set his sights on the Beiyan court. It could no longer be called bold, it was simply crazy.
