Xiang Li looked at Chu Xiu with a look of surprise on his face.
What did Chu Xiu say just now? Help him fight for the throne? But isn't he from Lao Shisan?
Xiang Li couldn't help but sneered: "My thirteenth brother is too naive, isn't he? He actually sent you to play such a trick. Do you think I would believe it?"
No wonder Xiang Li was suspicious, in fact there was some grudge between him and Chu Xiu.
In the past, Xiang Li was trying to win over Juyi Village, but before he could succeed, Juyizhuang was completely destroyed by Chu Xiu.
Later, Chu Xiu became even better friends with Xiang Chong. Even when Chu Xiu became the Grand Governor of the Wutang in Beiyan Town, it was Xiang Chong who took the lead.
So Xiang Li subconsciously thought that Chu Xiu was sent by his imperial brother to carry out counterintuitive tactics.
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "It doesn't really matter whether you believe me or not. What matters is that, Second Prince, you urgently need to grasp every ounce of power now. If not, this throne in the future will not be yours."
Xiang Li sneered and said: "What a joke! If you say it's not mine, then it's not mine? I am the second prince of Beiyan. When it comes to succession, my thirteenth brother is still far behind!"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "But you haven't been established as the prince yet."
There was a look of anger on Xiang Li's face, which was the biggest pain in his heart.
"I have been in business for more than ten years before my thirteenth brother. Whether it is a temple or a martial arts world, the power I manage is stronger than him!"
Chu Xiu still said calmly: "But you have not been established as the prince until now."
Xiang Li shouted in a low voice: "I have long been assisting my father in handling some royal affairs. What does Xiang Chong know? He only knows how to fool around with some people who don't know the so-called Jianghu. It's not a big deal!"
Chu Xiu still said calmly: "But you have not been established as the prince until now."
Xiang Li was going crazy at this time: "Can you change your words?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "No, because this sentence is the key.
You are stronger than your thirteenth brother in every aspect, and you have an advantage in age and status, but as a result, you have not been established as the crown prince yet. Even when you were fighting with Xiang Chong, Xiang Long was still biased. Help him. Don’t you know what these mean?
These advantages of yours are your advantages in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Xiang Long, your so-called advantages are nothing!
No matter how great your advantage is, it can't be greater than Xiang Chong's face, which is almost exactly the same as the young Xiang Long.
Inheritance is sometimes very wonderful, especially for a generation of heroes like Xiang Long. When he passed the throne to Xiang Chong, it represented another new life for him.
Therefore, Your Highness, what you have prepared now is far from enough. Even if you have exhausted all your mechanisms, it is very likely that in the end, it will not be as effective as Xiang Long’s words before his death.”
What Chu Xiu said went straight to Xiang Li's heart.
He also knew these things, but he had never spoken about them in front of outsiders.
Why did he try so hard to suppress Xiang Chong? It was just because of Xiang Long's injustice!
He has done so much and prepared so much, but now the ownership of the throne is still unclear. This makes Xiang Li feel that all these years have been wasted, and everything he has done is of no use at all.
After a long silence, Xiang Li said: "You have a good relationship with my thirteenth brother, why do you want to help me now?
According to what you said, if you help my thirteenth brother, wouldn’t your chances of winning the throne be greater than mine?”
Chu Xiu said calmly: "It's very simple. Your Majesty and I had a falling out. You should know about the affairs of Daguangming Temple. Your Majesty is worthy of being a heroic figure. He is quite skilled in this kind of political tactics."
Xiang Li also heard about this matter, and he secretly laughed at Chu Xiu at that time.
However, Xiang Li was still confused: "If you have a falling out with your father, what does it have to do with whether you can help my thirteenth brother or not?"
Hearing Xiang Li's question, Chu Xiu also shook his head slightly.
The second prince's mind was not very bright. He still didn't understand some things. No wonder Xiang Long didn't hand over the crown prince's position to him.
If Xiang Li is really capable enough to defeat all the princes, then it is estimated that even if Xiang Chong looks like Xiang Long, he will not be able to threaten the status of the second prince.
Chu Xiu said calmly: "I have a good relationship with Xiang Chong, but I have always been an outsider. At this time, Xiang Chong doesn't even dare to say a word for me. What else can I expect from him?"
Xiang Li thought for a while and suddenly sneered: "Chu Xiu, don't forget, my surname is also Xiang, so you are considered an outsider here."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "That's good. When the day comes when Xiang Chong ascends the throne, see if he will also remember that your last name is Xiang.
They are born from the same root, so there is no need to rush into mutual conflict.
Needless to say, I don’t need to tell you about the cruel methods of fighting for the throne in the past generations, brothers killing each other, and you should also know about it, Your Highness."
Xiang Li was silent for a long time and suddenly said: "How can you help me?"
Chu Xiu stood up and said in a deep voice: "How can I help you? The entire Yinmo lineage supports you, the second prince, to ascend the throne. Is this strength enough?"
Xiang Li trembled fiercely, the hidden demon lineage was a behemoth whose depth could not be seen.
But Xiang Li was not an idiot. He whispered: "If I agree, I will lead the wolf into the house!"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "If you don't agree, then you won't even be qualified to lead a wolf into the house, and you will be kicked out of the house directly.
The second prince is upright and upright, and puts Beiyan's interests more important than his own future. I won't say anything more. At worst, Beiyan won't be able to survive, so I will take the Zhenwu Hall people back to Guanzhong Punishment Hall. .
Anyway, people of the Hidden Demon lineage are used to wandering around, so it’s not a big deal to change places.”
Just when Chu Xiu was about to leave, Xiang Li suddenly said: "I promise you!"
Xiang Li's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, looking a little scary.
He knew that Chu Xiu had no good intentions in rushing to cooperate with him, and he also knew that he was luring the wolf into the house.
However, he had been looking forward to this throne for more than ten years, but when things came to an end, he found that his efforts might be in vain, and that everything he had thought about before might be in vain. How could Xiang Li be willing to do this?
So even if he knew that what he had in front of him was a cup of poison, he would drink it without hesitation as long as it could quench his thirst.
A smile appeared on Chu Xiu's lips and he said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, you will know it in the future, and you will not regret it if you cooperate with me.
But now His Highness still wants to do one thing for me, and that is to help me place some people from the hidden demon lineage into the Beiyan court.
They don’t need to be in a high position, they just need to be able to move around Yanjing City without any hindrance.”
Xiang Li nodded numbly. Since he had promised Chu Xiu, there was no room for turning back.
Chu Xiu's figure was instantly wrapped in a layer of pitch-black demonic energy, hidden in the darkness, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After leaving the palace, Lu Jianghe sighed in Chu Xiu's mind: "I didn't realize it, but you are a very smart talker, and you easily deceived these brats."
Chu Xiu said lightly: "Fooling? I didn't fool them.
If you want someone to cooperate with you wholeheartedly, then you must naturally let them see the benefits.
Regardless of whether it is Xiang Wu or Xiang Li, as long as things are successful, one of them can ascend to the throne, and the other has a bright future and can take charge of the entire Northern Yan military. I did not lie to them about these benefits.
Deception is only temporary gain, only gain is the eternal choice."
Lu Jianghe said nothing more, because he suddenly discovered that he, or the Kunlun Demon Cult in the past, had actually done a lot of stupid things.
Part of Chu Xiu's behavior style is actually very similar to that of the Kunlun Demon Cult in the past. He is extremely ruthless and does things to the extreme until death.
But at the same time, Chu Xiu also had a style of conduct that the Kunlun Demon Cult ignored, which was to leave a path for others.
Connecting all parties with interests will ultimately benefit you, but it will not leave others with nowhere to go.
And the Kunlun Demon Cult in the past obviously did things too extremely, to the extent that if the Kunlun Demon Cult was not destroyed, other martial arts forces would not be able to get ahead. In this way, when the Kunlun Demon Cult was destroyed in the past, all the
It’s not surprising that the big factions are so united.
Now that his layout is completed, Chu Xiu should also consider the matter of Daguangming Temple.
Inserting the Hidden Demon lineage into the Beiyan court is a big project. It requires slow work and meticulous work. It would be bad if it is done too hastily and others discover it.
Therefore, during this period of time, Chu Xiu also had to pretend to be a "loyal minister" for a period of time, and now he would fool around with the task at hand.
Chu Xiu asked Lu Jianghe: "You said that the treasure was buried near Daguangming Temple. What exactly was buried in it?"
Anyway, everything was told to Chu Xiu, and Lu Jianghe did not hide it. He said directly: "Actually, there are three treasure hiding places. One was buried by me personally, which is closest to Daguangming Temple, and the other two are.
It was buried by my gang of bastards. I only know the general location.
The things those bastards buried were just some ordinary cultivation resources, etc., just for backup, nothing special.
As for what I buried with my own hands, it is actually some blood, the blood of some strong men five hundred years ago!"
Chu Xiu's heart moved and he asked: "How strong is it?"
Lu Jianghe sneered: "How strong is it? It's stronger than you imagine!
Five hundred years ago, were the contemporary Celestial Masters at the Celestial Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain strong enough?
Is Master Taixuan, the direct disciple of ‘Immortal’ Ning Xuanji and the deputy headmaster of the Zhenwu Sect, strong enough?
Is the contemporary abbot of Daguangming Temple who has cultivated an immortal golden body strong enough?
Are Kun Wu, who is in charge of the third most famous swordsman in the world, and Gu Qingcheng, the master of Fengyun Sword Tomb known as the Sword Master, strong enough?
If these people are not strong enough, I even have a drop of the blood of Lord Dugu, tell me, are they strong enough?"
