To be honest, Chu Xiu had no intention of falling out with Xiang Long so soon.
He was doing quite well in Beiyan. As long as he completed the tasks assigned by Xiang Long to the imperial court, everything would be fine.
On the Jianghu side, the Beiyan Wulin, except for big sects like Daguangming Temple, was a bit difficult to deal with. After all, other forces were not as powerful as the Eastern Qi Wulin, so Chu Xiu was able to deal with them quite easily.
So if there are no accidents, Chu Xiu really wants to run the Zhenwu Hall well and quietly develop his strength.
Even Chu Xiu let the people of the Zhenwu Hall perform their own duties and developed various departments. Although they are still a little immature, the sparrows are well-equipped despite their small size.
There are those who specialize in intelligence, although the sources and speed of information are not as good as those of Fengmanlou.
There are also those who forge weapons, although even making a single weapon is laborious.
There are also those who refine elixirs, although now they can only refine blood-restoring elixirs.
Although the effect was a little unsatisfactory, it was at least comprehensive. Chu Xiu already had the prototype of a complete force under his command, not just empty force.
In the end, who would have thought that Xiang Long came to him? The rabbit was not dead yet, and he started to plot.
This time, Chu Xiu had to agree to go to the far north to dig out the treasures left by Lu Jianghe, but next time, Xiang Long might do something else, so Chu Xiu also
You should prepare early.
Because Chu Xiu could not leave Beiyan for the time being, Wei Shuya came in person after Mei Qinglian notified Wei Shuya.
In the secret room of the Zhenwu Hall, Chu Xiu saluted Wei Shuya and said, "Mr. Wei, I would like to trouble you to make a trip at this time. This junior is really a little embarrassed."
The war between good and evil is over. Almost all the real fire god refining experts like Wei Shuya who participated in the war are in seclusion, recuperating and digesting the gains from that battle.
This time, as soon as Chu Xiu opened his mouth, Wei Shuya came in person, which was enough to give Chu Xiu face.
Wei Shuya hammered his legs and said: "It's okay, old man. I was born to work hard. I should move more while I can still move. Otherwise, after a few years, I won't be able to move even if I want to.
Why, I heard from Mei Yatou that you were plotted against by that boy Xiang Long, and now you want to plot against Bei Yan?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "It's not a plot against Bei Yan, but Xiang Long is too cold and cold, and he wants to demolish the bridge before the river has crossed.
Since he is unkind, I naturally don’t need to talk about morality.
Xiang Long of Beiyan deserves to be called the hero of the generation. With him here, even if I want to cause trouble in Beiyan, I don't have the ability.
But now, as far as I know, Xiang Long may not have long to live, and my lineage of hidden demons may have a chance to take over Beiyan!"
Wei Shuya frowned, thought for a while and said, "If Xiang Long is about to die, then Beiyan may be in chaos for a while.
But the power of the Beiyan royal family is not weak. In addition, although the princes of Beiyan do not have anyone who can match Xiang Long, they are not too bad. This chaos will only last for a while, but it will eventually happen.
Return to peace.
So the opportunities left for us to intervene are actually not too many."
Chu Xiu said calmly: "Under normal circumstances, it is like this, but if we intervene, Beiyan will not be as simple as causing chaos for a period of time."
Wei Shuya was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I almost forgot, you are so insidious, you should be the best at this kind of thing."
When Wei Shuya commented on Chu Xiu's insidiousness, he was not scolding him. In the devil's way, this was a compliment.
Otherwise, instead of praising Chu Xiu for being sinister, could he praise him for being kind?
Wei Shuya waved his hand and said: "I'll leave it to you young people to use your brains. Old man, I'm already old and can't keep up with my brain reactions, so I won't get involved. As long as you are confident, that's fine."
, whatever you want to do, just tell me directly."
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Xiang Long is not dead yet, but we must also be prepared.
I invite Wei to come. In fact, I only have one request, that is, Mr. Wei, you can use your connections to let people on your side or people who are close to you secretly gather in Beiyan. Let me think about it.
The method was to quietly place them all into the Beiyan court.
These people don't need to do anything for the time being, they just need to keep a low profile and lurk, and when the news from my side comes out, they can all launch together!"
Mei Qinglian on the side shuddered a little when she heard this.
She didn't know what Chu Xiu's plan was, but by arranging so many people into the Beiyan court, it was obvious that Chu Xiu had no good intentions. Once launched, the power would definitely be beyond imagination.
And this matter is also a choice that requires careful consideration for Wei Shuya.
Chu Xiu is playing such a big game, and the strength of the Beiyan royal family and the Beiyan court is not weak. Once something goes wrong, it will be a serious blow to the Yinmo lineage. To be more precise, it should be to Wei Shuya.
People of the same lineage are a blow.
In fact, over the years, Wei Shuya did not establish a sect or recruit so many disciples like other big men of the Hidden Demon lineage, but he had quite a few people under his command.
These people are not considered Wei Shuya's subordinates, nor are they considered his disciples, but they all respect Wei Shuya very much.
These people either admire Wei Shuya. After all, the five heavenly demons of Jiutian Mountain in the past were the last backbone of the Hidden Demon lineage. Wei Shuya deserves their respect based on his identity.
There are also warriors of the Yinmo lineage like Chu Wuji, who have gained Wei Shuya's favor, and are willing to follow Wei Shuya and ride for him.
As soon as Wei Shuya opens his mouth, almost none of these people will refuse.
But it is precisely because of this that Wei Shuya must be cautious about such important matters, otherwise, the lives of so many warriors of his lineage will be ruined, especially since these people still believe in him so much, Wei Shuya will also feel distressed.
After a while, Wei Shuya said in a deep voice: "How sure are you?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "I can't say for sure. No one dares to say that it will be 100% successful in grasping this kind of thing.
Three points depends on myself and seven points depends on heaven. I can only do my best in human affairs and obey the destiny.
But once things are done, my Hidden Demon lineage will be completely established in Beiyan and become the foundation."
Wei Shuya let out a long breath and said, "Okay, no problem, I'll go back and make arrangements right away.
But boy Chu Xiu, you must be more cautious about this matter.
They trust me, and now I also trust you. I hope you won't let me down."
Chu Xiu bowed slightly and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, when have you ever seen me do something I wasn't prepared for?"
After saying that, Wei Shuya turned around and left, leaving only Mei Qinglian and Chu Xiu in the secret room.
Looking at Chu Xiu, Mei Qinglian said with a strange look on her face: "I said you are really planning to play big this time?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "It's not that I was prepared, but that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.
If I hadn't been prepared, I might have been tricked by that old guy Xiang Long, and I wouldn't even know how he died."
Mei Qinglian waved her hand and said: "Forget it, I won't say any more. Just be prepared. As Mr. Wei said, you are the best at these conspiracies."
Chu Xiu said with a serious face: "What I am good at is actually convincing people with reason, but there are many people who are unreasonable now, so I can only take out the knife and explain things clearly to them."
"Then why didn't you draw a knife when you faced Xiang Long?"
Mei Qinglian had an expression on her face that said, "It's weird if I believe you."
"If I dare to draw a knife on Xiang Long now, I probably won't even be able to leave the palace.
Just because when facing some people, it is useless to draw a knife, so it is understandable to use some small tactics at this time."
Mei Qinglian snorted softly and said: "I don't want to listen to your fallacies. Mr. Wei has already arranged for people, how are you going to stuff people into the Beiyan court?"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "I don't have any foundation in the Beiyan court. Except for inserting people into the Zhenwu Hall, I can't do anything else, so I have to let others handle this matter."
"who?"
"Xiang Wu and a prince."
Chu Xiu said directly without thinking, obviously he already had a countermeasure before.
Mei Qinglian frowned and said: "Xiang Wu? That guy who likes eating bananas? I remember that he seems to be from the Beiyan royal family, is it reliable?
And which prince are you talking about? Are you so sure that those princes will listen to you?"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "If Xiang Wu was not reliable, he would not be able to achieve his current position as the general of the Xiling Army.
As for which prince it is, I still have to test it one by one, but I believe that almost all princes want to sit on the dragon chair.
Moreover, many of these princes hold grudges against Xiang Long. Anyway, after testing them one by one, we can find a suitable candidate."
After explaining to Mei Qinglian, Chu Xiu was going to go to Xiang Wu first.
Xiang Wu and Chu Xiu cooperated very closely. In the beginning, Xiang Wu helped Chu Xiu stop the ancestor of the Huangfu family.
Later, Chu Xiu also cooperated with Xiang Wu, helping Xiang Wu obtain the trade routes of the Giant Spirit Gang and helping him support his soldiers.
After most people meet Xiang Wu, they will have a feeling that this person is unreliable, just like Mei Qinglian.
But in fact, Xiang Wu understands things better than anyone else and is very stable in his work.
A general who is unreliable and has no ambition at all will not always think about fighting for the interests of his soldiers.
When Chu Xiu ran to see Xiang Wu, he specially bought a basket of bananas as a gift. He knew that this was what Xiang Wu wanted.
However, this thing is quite difficult to buy in Beiyan. Chu Xiu had people search half of Yanjing City before he found it.
As a result, when they arrived at Xiang Wu's residence, Chu Xiu missed the opportunity. The servants said that he was in the military camp outside the city.
When Chu Xiu turned around and came to the barracks, Xiang Wu seemed to have known the news and was waiting at the camp gate in advance. When he saw Chu Xiu coming over with bananas, he took them directly and said reproachfully: "Come here as soon as you come."
, what else are you bringing? Mr. Chu, you are really too ignorant."
