Xiang Wu's choice is important to Chu Xiu, but it is not important either.
Xiang Long is not dead yet, and Chu Xiu still has time to arrange many things.
Even if Xiang Wuzhen didn't choose to join forces with him in the end, he would definitely not continue to be a 'loyal minister' to Xiang Long.
It should be said that from the beginning, Xiang Wu was not that kind of foolish and loyal person, otherwise he would not have come to ask Chu Xiu for the Jiling Gang's trade route.
After coming out of Xiang Wu's place, Chu Xiu was ready to test the attitudes of the princes of Beiyan.
But Chu Xiu was not familiar with them, so it was a bit sensitive to meet them rashly.
Everyone knows that the relationship between Chu Xiu and Xiang Wu is pretty good. They have always been in contact, so when Chu Xiu goes to see Xiang Wu, it doesn't matter even if Xiang Long finds out.
But if Chu Xiu rashly went to meet other princes, this would be a bit sensitive.
So Chu Xiu needs to borrow Lu Fengxian.
He took Lu Fengxian with him on the pretext that he wanted them to find an identity for Lu Fengxian in the Beiyan court. This excuse was very good.
After all, everyone knows that Lu Fengxian is Chu Xiu's good friend. It is normal that Chu Xiu is not willing to let Lu Fengxian join the Zhenwu Hall as a subordinate and seek an official position for him alone.
After Lu Fengxian heard Chu Xiu's plan, he agreed without thinking. However, on the way, Lu Fengxian said to Chu Xiu: "Brother Chu, now I know that you can build such a strong family fortune."
, it is really not easy to win this status now, and you have to plan everything.
But Brother Chu, don’t you feel that it’s tiring to do this? Why bother forcing yourself so much in your life?”
Lu Fengxian and Chu Xiu met at a young age. At that time, both of them could only be said to be unknown people.
But now, the young Marquis Wen is already well-known to people in the world, he is infatuated and has no regrets, and he is one of the most dazzling heroes of the younger generation.
The other one was Chu Xiu who was comparable to the older warriors, fierce and majestic, and already had the power of a demon giant.
It can be said that Lu Fengxian watched Chu Xiu reach his current state step by step with his own eyes. There were dangers everywhere. Chu Xiu was almost wandering between life and death several times, so he was puzzled as to why Chu Xiu still had such calculations.
Even calculating to the point of physical and mental exhaustion.
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm forcing myself, but that the world is forcing you and me to move forward.
In troubled times, if you don't kill people, people will kill you.
If you take one step slower, others will take two steps ahead of you.
Everyone wants to be free and at ease, but unless you hide in a deserted place to retreat, otherwise, where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes. How can you be free and easy?
Moreover, going to such a place for seclusion is not really free in my opinion. It is just an escape. It is meaningless to put oneself in a cage.
Brother Lu, after so many years, haven't you understood? There are no good people in this world. Even some famous heroic masters can cause greater disasters with their unintentional actions.
Once the hero draws his sword, another ten years of calamity will befall the common people.
In this world, it is impossible to truly stay out of it.
Just like Brother Lu this time, why do Yue Nu Gong and Yan Feiyan dare to plot against you instead of plotting against me and plotting against Bailu? Because they don't dare!
They dared to scheme to win Bailu, and the Ying family of Shangshui dared to let the name Yue Nu Palace disappear in the world the next day.
If Yue Nü Palace dares to plot against me, I will let Yue Nü Palace know what is more terrifying than death.
And when they plot against you, Brother Lu, the price they pay is much smaller.
So sometimes it’s not me who wants to fight, but the world, which makes you and I have to fight!”
Lu Fengxian looked at Chu Xiu and was speechless.
Originally he wanted to persuade Chu Xiu, but in the end, Chu Xiu persuaded him.
But there's nothing he can do about it. He's not as nimble as Chu Xiu.
Moreover, he was indeed stupid in doing the Yue Nv Palace matter. This probably became a black spot in his life. He would be mentioned and talked about when he met someone.
Knowing that she could not persuade Chu Xiu, Lu Fengxian did not persuade him any more.
As a good friend, more often than not, it depends not on what you say, but on how you act.
If Chu Xiu can take the initiative to come to the sword-fighting conference to save him this time, then even if Chu Xiu is really ready to rebel in the future, he will still dare to stand up and challenge the Beiyan court.
The first person Chu Xiu and Lu Fengxian came to find was Xiang Chong, the thirteenth prince of Beiyan. This man had a very good relationship with Chu Xiu and the two parties had many cooperations.
Besides, investing in Xiang Chong is a good choice. In the original plot, in the battle for the throne of Beiyan, Xiang Chong was the winner in the end.
Although Chu Xiu didn't know how Xiang Chong did it, but now with Chu Xiu's help, he believed that Xiang Chong could still do it, or even do it better.
However, when Chu Xiu saw Xiang Chong, he discovered that he seemed to have thought about something wrong.
Xiang Chong was still very polite to Chu Xiu. After welcoming Chu Xiu into the house, Xiang Chong asked with a smile: "Master Chu has just been entrusted with an important task by the emperor father. Why do you have time to come to my place?"
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness knows about the latest mission of the Zhenwu Hall?"
Xiang Chong nodded and said: "Of course I know, I just came back from my father two days ago, and my father told me about this matter.
Master Chu's Suppressing Martial Hall is getting stronger day by day, and it's time to expand a little more. If the Daguangming Temple can be conquered, then the Suppressing Martial Hall will definitely become a level comparable to the Five Armies of the Suppressing Country. When the time comes, I would like to congratulate Chu. grown ups."
"Your Highness has never thought that with the current strength of the Zhenwu Hall, if you challenge the Daguangming Temple, the consequences will not be good." Chu Xiu said calmly.
Xiang Chong laughed awkwardly and said: "Master Chu, you are measured. In the past, when Zhenwu Hall was in a state of poverty, Master Chu, you were able to open up the situation. I believe that Master Chu, you will be able to solve this matter perfectly. Okay, Mr. Chu, why are you here this time?"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "It's okay, I just want to trouble His Highness with something and find a position in the Beiyan court for Brother Lu."
Xiang Chong said in surprise: "Master Chu, you didn't want to leave a place for Brother Lu in Zhenwu Hall?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "Brother Lu is my good friend, not my subordinate, so it is somewhat inappropriate to give Brother Lu the position in Zhenwu Hall."
Xiang Chong nodded directly and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Chu, this matter will be left to me.
Brother Lu was a hero on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking in the past, and now he is a martial arts master. My father will definitely be very happy that he can join our Northern Yan court.
The next time I go to see my father, I will mention this matter to him, and I will definitely be able to give Brother Lu a position that satisfies him."
Chu Xiu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Your Highness."
After saying that, Chu Xiu refused Xiang Chong's request to stay and left directly with Lu Fengxian.
After leaving Xiang Chong's palace, Lu Fengxian was surprised and asked: "Why didn't you tell Xiang Chong those things just now?"
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "I'm careless, but I didn't expect that Xiang Chong's feelings for Xiang Long are very extraordinary. He really admires his father."
Among the many princes of Northern Yan, Xiang Long's favorite was Xiang Chong, who looked very similar to him when he was young.
Therefore, this also caused Xiang Chong to have a different kind of father-son feeling towards Xiang Long.
Xiang Chong is a sensible person. He should know the meaning of Xiang Long's actions. However, he still thinks that Xiang Long did the right thing and even started talking to Chu Xiu in an official manner. It is conceivable that if Chu Xiu The plan is to tell Xiang Chong what kind of things he will do. I'm afraid the first thing to do is to go to Xiang Long and report him.
I don’t know if in the original plot, Xiang Chong finally got the throne because he was ‘obedient’.
"Then what should we do now?" Lu Fengxian asked.
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said: "If Xiang Chong can't do it, then find another one. That one is probably very dissatisfied with Xiang Long.
But this time, I can go by myself. Brother Lu, you can go into seclusion for a period of time to stabilize your state."
………………
After nightfall, the second prince Xiang Li returned to his palace smelling of alcohol.
Unlike Xiang Chong, Xiang Li's ambition is reflected on his face. Over the years, he has been constantly wooing important ministers of the Northern Yan court, whether it is showing favor or inducement, using various means. Shang Xianglong did not stop him, but actually allowed him to accumulate a series of connections.
If I can ascend the throne in the future, these people will help me.
But now Xiang Li is only dissatisfied with his father's attitude.
Among so many princes, who can compare with him in terms of ability? After the prince was deposed, he, the second prince, became the real prince. As a result, after all these years, he still did not get the position of the prince, and he was still the second prince. .
On the contrary, his younger brother had no ability at all, but he was favored by Xiang Long just because he looked close to the young Xiang Long. This made Xiang Li very dissatisfied.
You work so hard, but the result is not as good as a face?
Thinking so angrily, he subconsciously pushed open the door, and suddenly saw a black figure sitting in the room. He was startled, and he was almost half awake from the alcohol. Just when he was about to scream, he felt a very strong The aura enveloped him, causing him to hold back his words.
"Second Prince, I have no ill intentions, I just want to discuss something with you." Chu Xiu said calmly.
"Chu Xiu! Why are you here?"
Xiang Li closed the door with a look of surprise on his face, and at the same time he was secretly cursing the enshrined person in the palace.
A prince like Xiang Li, of course, has a high status and strong strength like him. There is a grandmaster-level worshiper from the Beiyan Royal Enshrinement Hall guarding the palace to prevent any accidents.
As a result, people have already lurked in their own homes, and the grandmaster-level worshiper is still sleeping. Who is Chu Xiu who is too strong, or is that worshiper too useless?
Looking at Xiang Li, Chu Xiu said word by word: "I am here to help you, the second prince, fight for the throne!"
