The residents in the mall were chosen by Chu Xiu to live in Beiyan.
Although the Qinglonghui is here in Dong Qi, there are too many large-scale Jianghu forces, which makes it a bit unsafe.
As for Beiyan, the only one that can bring trouble to Chu Xiu is Daguangming Temple.
Of course, Chu Xiu also had his own dark thoughts. As long as he controlled the people in these malls, Shang Tianliang could only be used by him, so of course he had to arrange these people where he was most confident.
After arranging everything, Chu Xiu took Mei Qinglian and others back to Beiyan Town Martial Hall.
Returning to Beiyan, when he arrived at Yanjing City, Chu Xiu found that the guards in Yanjing City seemed to be stricter than before, and there were even more soldiers patrolling the streets.
Mei Qinglian said: "Before you revealed your identity, the Emperor of Beiyan already had some problems.
His old illness relapsed, and he summoned countless famous doctors. Feng Buping from Zhenwu Hall also went there, and several alchemy masters from Zhuque Pavilion also went there, but they were unable to do anything.
Your Majesty, I am afraid that the end is coming soon, and you know that no one is not afraid of death, especially those in high positions, so it is normal for the situation to be tense now."
Chu Xiu was surprised and said: "So bad? Although Beiyan is not as rich as Dong Qi, it should still have a lot of accumulation, including some ninth-turn elixirs and so on?"
Mei Qinglian just uttered four words: "What is weak cannot be replenished."
Hearing what Mei Qinglian said, Chu Xiu understood immediately.
It's not that Beiyan doesn't have nine divine elixirs that can extend life span, there are even quite a few, but the problem is that Xiang Long can't stand these.
All elixirs that can extend lifespan are at least above the sixth level.
For a warrior, this is nothing, but for an old ordinary person like Xiang Long, the medicine is too powerful for him to bear, and he will even die faster after taking it.
In fact, things in this world are sometimes fair.
It is definitely more difficult to manage a country than to manage a sect. Since you choose to be an emperor, you will naturally have to give up martial arts and your own strength.
In the past, when many countries in the world were at war, many royal families of small countries also practiced martial arts, because their countries were too small, only as big as a county, so what else could be difficult to manage?
But when it comes to a country as big as Eastern Qi and Northern Yan, if the emperor of a country ignores government affairs and instead practices martial arts, then you are a coward.
If you want to practice martial arts, then you can abdicate and go to the Royal Enshrinement Hall to practice, and replace yourself with someone who can concentrate on handling the affairs of the court.
Lu Fengxian said from the side: "His Majesty is too obsessed with winning and too ambitious. If he is still in his prime, it will not be a good thing for the three major countries in the world."
This time when I returned to Beiyan, Lu Fengxian also came back with me.
Originally, Lu Fengxian had been sitting in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, but now that the crisis in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall has been resolved, Lu Fengxian is no longer willing to stay there.
First, Lu Fengxian had nothing to do with Guanzhong Punishment Hall, and secondly, he was not good at handling those complicated affairs. Even if Chu Xiu handed Guanzhong Punishment Hall to him, Lu Fengxian would refuse.
Chu Xiu heard the words and said calmly: "The heroes of the world and the emperor's hegemony are all built with human lives. In fact, even Xiang Long is a mediocre person. Unless the world is unified and the rivers and lakes are restrained, there will be troubled times everywhere."
After saying that, an unpredictable smile appeared on Chu Xiu's lips and he said: "Let's go, let's go see His Majesty first."
After cultivating the true fire body, his strength has greatly improved. In this third battle between good and evil, Chu Xiu single-handedly resisted the combined efforts of Subhuti Zen Academy and Chunyang Dao Sect. This power was already astonishing.
Now when Chu Xiu faced Xiang Long again, he no longer had to be as careful and calculating as before.
Xiang Long was worried that Chu Xiu would be unable to get rid of him. This time Chu Xiu came to tell Xiang Long that your worries have come true.
Outside the palace, Xiang Long's personal eunuch, Eunuch Han, was waiting to greet Chu Xiu. As soon as they met, Eunuch Han's cold face squeezed out a smile and said: "Master Chu has shouldered both Taoism and Buddhism, and his reputation shocked the world.
, our family congratulates Mr. Chu."
Chu Xiu smiled lightly and said, "It's not a good job to trade your reputation with your head. If Eunuch Han is interested, I will take you with me next time."
The smile on Eunuch Han's face froze and he said: "Master Chu is joking. A eunuch like ours cannot do such a big thing. Your Majesty is still waiting for Master Chu inside. Master Chu, please come in."
Chu Xiu nodded and led Mei Qinglian and others into the palace.
It had been more than a year since I had seen Xiang Long. At this time, Xiang Long looked haggard and looked much older than before.
The most important thing is that Chu Xiu could feel a twilight energy from Xiang Long's body, a strong twilight energy. It was obvious that His Majesty, he really couldn't hold on much longer.
At this time, there were other people in the palace, including General Dongshan Army of Beiyan Zhenguo's Five Armies, who "crazily massacred" Beigong Baili, General Ren Qianli of Beiwei Army, and Wuchang Taoist.
These people looked at Chu Xiu with different eyes.
Beigong Baili didn't care. With his strength and status, he would not easily make enemies with others. When he took over the Zhenwu Hall, although he had contact with Chu Xiu, there was no hatred.
But Ren Qianli looked at Chu Xiu with a hint of jealousy and fear.
The hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable, and the same is true for killing one's teacher.
But whether Ren Qianli said he was timid or naughty, after learning about Fang Jinwu's death, Ren Qianli's first choice was not to take revenge, but to hide far away, for fear that Chu Xiu would be killed.
He's here to cut the grass and root it out.
However, his worries were unnecessary. At that time, Chu Xiu was too lazy to pay attention to him. Moreover, Chu Xiu had not fallen out with Xiang Long at that time, so it was unwise to rashly attack a general of the imperial court.
But the bad thing about Ren Qianli was that after hearing the news of Chu Xiu's death, he actually thought that Chu Xiu was dead.
So under his initiative, or under Xiang Long's instruction, Ren Qianli was actually planning to annex the Zhenwu Hall.
Although he failed in the end, he succeeded in offending Chu Xiu to death.
Ren Qianli was really frightened when he heard the news that Chu Xiu was not dead. If Xiang Long hadn't summoned Chu Xiu in the palace this time, Ren Qianli wouldn't even have the courage to face Chu Xiu.
As for the Taoist Wushang on the side, he was confident and even let out a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat proud.
When he first heard the news that Chu Xiu was dead, Taoist Wushang had not paid attention to Zhenwu Tang, but he gave up in the end.
One is because the Yinshan sect of Wushang Taoist used to be a vassal of the Kunlun Demon Cult, and he knew the virtues of those demonic thugs.
Although Chu Xiu is dead now, Wei Shuya is still alive. He did not go to seize Zhenwu Hall, partly because he was worried about Wei Shuya.
Another reason is that Taoist Wushang also saw clearly what kind of character Xiang Long was.
Before Chu Xiu became big, he won over Chu Xiu and established the Zhenwu Hall to suppress the martial arts in Beiyan.
After the Zhenwu Hall became bigger, he began to suppress the Zhenwu Hall again.
Although Xiang Long seems to believe in him and use him very much now, once his Wupai Taoist has grown big, and even reached the same level as Chu Xiu, he will be the one who will be suppressed at that time.
Therefore, Taoist Wushang not only did not take action against Zhenwu Tang, but secretly conveyed the news to them. Now it seems that his step was the right one.
"Chu Xiu, I have heard about you. When I heard the news about your accident, I was very heartbroken." Xiang Long said with a smile on his face.
Chu Xiu casually saluted Xiang Long and said, "So your Majesty is going to hand over the Zhenwu Hall that I built to someone else?"
Xiang Long's expression suddenly stiffened, and at the same time there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
After learning that Chu Xiu was not dead and had single-handedly withstood the joint siege of Taoism and Buddhism, Xiang Long was originally prepared to give Chu Xiu a step down. After all, it would not be good for either party if he broke his face.
But who would have thought that Chu Xiu was so ignorant of praise that he told all this in front of everyone.
Xiang Long suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile on his face: "It's just a misunderstanding. The Zhenwu Hall is now an important department for our Beiyan to supervise and control the Beiyan Wulin. Without you, I am also worried that the Zhenwu Hall will be leaderless.
, so I just thought of this method.
Now that you, Chu Xiu, are back, the position of the Commander-in-Chief of the Suppressing Martial Hall is still yours. No one can take it away. I can even guarantee that as long as I am here, your position as the Commander-in-Chief of the Suppressing Martial Hall will no longer be available to you.
You dare to move!"
Chu Xiu sneered in his heart, but on his face he saluted Xiang Li and said, "If that's the case, then thank you, Your Majesty."
At this moment, Chu Xiu suddenly said: "By the way, Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report."
"What happened?"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "I reported that Ren Qianli, the general of the Beiwei Army, had connections with foreign countries and colluded with the Eastern Qi Dynasty to betray our Beiyan intelligence and interests. He should be punished for his crime!"
Upon hearing this, Ren Qianli immediately trembled, stood up and shouted: "Chu Xiu! You are such a slanderer! When did I collude with Dong Qi and betray Bei Yan?
In front of His Majesty, everything must be based on evidence!"
Although he knew that Chu Xiu would definitely not let him go like this, he never expected that Chu Xiu would confuse right and wrong in front of everyone and pour dirty water on his head!
Ren Qianli was originally from Beiyan. After he left the army in the past, he also served as an errand in the Beiyan court until now.
For so many years, his fundamental interests have been in Beiyan, and he would only collude with Dong Qi when he was full.
Chu Xiu said lightly: "Evidence? I am the evidence!
Based on my reputation in the world, Chu Xiu, is it possible that I will still frame you?
Your Majesty, I have found this cheating person for you, do you believe me or him?"
