Xiang Li actually came at the right time, because even if he didn't come, Chu Xiu would come to him.
Xiang Long's plan is to suppress the Suppressing Wutang, and Xiang Chong, as his successor, broke up with Chu Xiu on bad terms today, so he will definitely implement Xiang Long's policy resolutely.
It is simply unrealistic for Chu Xiu to overthrow the Xiang royal family and become emperor by himself, so Xiang Li still breaks the situation.
Knocking on the table, Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, do you still remember that I once arranged for some people from the hidden demon lineage to enter various departments of Beiyan?"
Chu Xiu is relatively crisis-conscious. When he and Xiang Long had a falling out for the first time, Xiang Chong did not choose to help him. At that time, he contacted Xiang Li and asked Xiang Li to insert some people from the hidden demon lineage. Inside the Northern Yan court.
These people can be very useful when they are in trouble.
Xiang Li nodded repeatedly and said: "I have been doing these things, and now I have hired many people.
But now that I have lost power, those bastards have all moved towards Xiang Chong, and I now have very few forces, and I can no longer place people from the Hidden Demon lineage into other departments of Beiyan."
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "That doesn't matter. Are there any risks of those people being discovered?"
Xiang Li shook his head and said: "It's absolutely impossible. Even the people who personally ordered and arranged the arrangements didn't know who I had arranged. At that time, they were still obedient and did not ask or inquire.
Now that I have lost power, they may have forgotten this matter long ago."
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, it's no problem. Your Highness can just go back and wait."
Xiang Li said in shock: "Is it gone?"
Chu Xiu asked: "Otherwise, what else does Your Highness want to do? Can you lurk and assassinate you now? Can you go and fight Xiang Chong's forces head-on?"
Xiang Li laughed and said, "Of course not."
With the little strength he had now, he could hardly do anything, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Chu Xiu for help.
Chu Xiu spread his hands: "If that doesn't work, then what else can your Highness do if you don't stay there?
Your Highness, you just need to go back to acting, continue to act like this dejected and desperate person, and don't let others doubt you. I believe that your acting skills, Your Highness, should be fine."
Hearing what Chu Xiu said, Xiang Li had to sneak back again. Although he was still a little uneasy in his heart, for him, there was no other way except trusting Chu Xiu.
After Xiang Li left, Mei Qinglian walked in and said, "Are you serious? Are you really ready to help Xiang Li ascend the throne?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I be talking so much nonsense to him?"
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said with a cold look in his eyes: "It's time to take action. Xiang Long has already made a move, and we can't sit still and wait for death."
"What to do first?"
Mei Qinglian was also very straightforward. Since Chu Xiu had a plan, other people in the Zhenwu Hall could only cooperate. After all, Chu Xiu was the core of the entire Zhenwu Hall.
"It's very simple. Help me find out what Wushang Taoist has been doing recently."
…………………………
Wushang Taoist was preparing to run away at this time. Yes, he was running away.
Wushang Taoist has been very low-key in the recent period. To be precise, it's not that he doesn't want to be high-profile, but reality does not allow it. Beiyan has been in a mess recently, with strong people emerging in large numbers. With the foundation of Wushang Taoist and Yinshan Sect, he can't keep a high profile. stand up.
In fact, Taoist Wushang joined Beiyan very early. Even when Beiyan joined forces with Beiyan Jianghu, Taoist Wushang joined Beiyan.
Because Beiyan is the only one among the three kingdoms in the world that is willing to cooperate with Jianghu, and no matter whether it is good or evil, it will not refuse.
When Xiang Long fell out with Beiyan Jianghu in the later period, Taoist Wushang still chose to follow Xiang Long. There was only one reason: he really had no place to go.
The Yinshan Sect has offended the Kunlun Demon Sect, which is equivalent to offending the Yinmo lineage. Moreover, because of the orthodoxy, it is also hated and targeted by the Taoist sect. In such a huge world, if the Yinshan sect dares to directly establish a sect, maybe when the Taoist sect and the Taoist sect will be established...
The Hidden Demon lineage will come to trouble him.
So when Xiang Long promised him that the Yinshan Sect could become the state religion of Beiyan, he followed Xiang Long closely.
But it is a pity that even though Taoist Wushang is not young at all, he is still played around by Xiang Long and has been fished by him for more than ten years.
Xiang Long's attitude towards these martial arts sects from the beginning was to take advantage of them. He never regarded them as one of his own.
Even if Wushang Taoist waits his whole life, he will not be able to wait for his position in the state religion.
Thanks to Chu Xiu, he really saw Xiang Long's thoughts.
After going to court last time, Taoist Wushang saw Xiang Long's methods, and his first reaction was that he should leave.
The water in Beiyan is getting more and more muddy, and there is no place for the Yinshan Sect anymore.
The Yinshan sect has enmity with two of the three sects of Taoism, Buddhism and Demon. This place is simply a Shura field.
Moreover, Xiang Long is already on the verge of death. It is still unknown what the new emperor's attitude towards him will be after he ascends the throne. If he doesn't leave now, when will he wait?
When the disciple reported that Chu Xiu was visiting, Taoist Wushang was stunned. He subconsciously thought that Chu Xiu was here to cause trouble for him.
Although he thought that he had never offended Chu Xiu during this period, and even when others were trying to hurt Chu Xiu in the past, his Yinshan Sect remained neutral, but with Chu Xiu's reputation, he suddenly came to his door, and he really wouldn't
It makes people think this is a good thing.
But Chu Xiu came to the door in person, and he had to see him, so he had to ask someone to welcome Chu Xiu in.
Seeing some disciples of the Yinshan Sect busy packing their things, Chu Xiu was surprised and said: "Is Taoist Master Wushang preparing to leave?"
Taoist Wushang smiled bitterly and nodded: "What can I do if I don't leave? Is it possible that I'll make others uncomfortable by staying here? It's better to leave by yourself than to be kicked out by others."
Chu Xiu said calmly: "Then Taoist Master, are you willing to give up the foundation you have worked hard for in Beiyan over the years?"
In fact, the Yinshan Sect does not have any foundation in Beiyan. After all, the Yinshan Sect joined Beiyan under a covert situation, unlike Chu Xiu's Zhenwu Hall, which directly gained publicity.
But over the years, the disciples of the Yinshan Sect have become familiar with Beiyan, and they were forced to leave. Even Taoist Wushang didn't know where to go.
Taoist Wushang said calmly: "So what if you can't bear to leave? Master Chu, you can't feel the current environment in Beiyan, right?
It should be said that Mr. Chu, you are the biggest trouble now. Is it possible that Mr. Chu, you are not anxious?"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "If there is trouble, we will solve it. How can a living person be choked to death by urinating?
Taoist Master Wushang, now that you are gone, there will no longer be a place for you in the world.
Maybe, but it's very troublesome, so you might as well stay in Beiyan.
The ownership of the throne, who will win and who will lose, are still unknown."
Taoist Wushang was not a fool. When he heard Chu Xiu's words, he was immediately frightened: "Are you planning to intervene in the battle for the throne?"
Chu Xiu nodded directly and said, "What else? It's not my style to just sit back and wait for death."
Taoist Wushang opened his mouth to say something, but not a single word came out.
Although he wanted to say that Chu Xiu was bold in doing things, the problem was that Chu Xiu had done such bold things more than once or twice, and he had succeeded in them all.
Once is called recklessness, twice is called bold, and by the third time, it is confident.
Chu Xiu directly waved his hand and said: "Master Wushang, I won't hide it from you. I am planning to intervene in Beiyan's battle for the throne, and now I also need your help.
Of course, I won't force you. If you believe me, then stay in Beiyan. If you and I work together, you will have a place in the Beiyan court in the future.
I can understand if you are afraid that you cannot afford to gamble, but after leaving Beiyan, life for the Yinshan Sect will probably not be easy."
Taoist Wushang gritted his teeth and thought, he was actually in a dilemma.
When he and Chu Xiu were enemies before, he was scared by Chu Xiu. Even if the news of Chu Xiu's death came, he did not dare to add insult to injury to the Zhenwu Hall.
Just because you are afraid of a person, you will also have some confidence in him.
If anyone else had mentioned this matter, Taoist Wushang would have rejected it without even thinking about it, but when Chu Xiu mentioned it, it was really worth thinking about.
At this time, Chu Xiu said again: "If you, Taoist Master Wushang, agree to join forces with me, then we will all be our own people. I can also give you a promise. The past grudges between your Yinshan Sect and the Kunlun Demon Sect will be completely wiped out."
Taoist Wushang suddenly raised his head, looked at Chu Xiu and said, "Are you telling the truth? Can you represent the entire Hidden Demon lineage?"
In the past, the Yinshan Sect offended Dugu Weiwo and the Kunlun Demon Sect.
The Yinshan Sect was already burning incense before it was destroyed, but because of the grievances of the past, the Yinmo lineage still refused to let go of the Yinshan Sect.
If this grudge is resolved, the Yinshan Sect can even be said to have removed half of its own cause and effect.
Chu Xiu said calmly: "I am now the heir to the entire Yinmo lineage. Do you think what I say can represent the Yinmo lineage?
And it doesn’t matter even if there are different voices, everything depends on strength. Now among the hidden demon lineage, the person standing behind me is Mr. Wei. My lineage is the strongest, so if I speak, it will count.
talk!"
After receiving Chu Xiu's affirmative reply, Taoist Wushang gritted his teeth and said, "Well, Pindao will bet on this game. I hope Master Chu that you will not disappoint Pindao!"
Chu Xiu smiled lightly and said: "Taoist priest, please rest assured, as long as you have cooperated with me, you will not be disappointed."
Taoist Wushang didn't talk nonsense. He said directly: "Do you have any plans now? What should we do as the first step?"
Chu Xiu stretched out a finger and said: "Of course there is a plan, but it has to be done step by step.
First of all, the first step is for you to join Xiang Chong's side.
Everyone knows about the previous enmity between you and me, but on the contrary, few people know about the secret agreement between you and me.
It is reasonable and reasonable for you to join Xiang Chong now, and no one can find any doubts about it."
