Suddenly receiving the "loyalty and support" of so many strong men in the world, Xiang Chong almost lost his temper in excitement.
These are genuine real fire god refining realm masters and true alchemy realm masters, and each of them has an extraordinary background.
At this time, Lin Fengyu, who had been following Xiang Chong, said: "Your Highness, although it is a good thing that so many people have joined us, it is a bit suspicious to have so many people come all at once."
Lin Fengyu targeted Taoist Wushang like this, not because he saw anything wrong with Taoist Wushang, he was just trying to win favor.
Taoist Wushang snorted coldly: "Suspicious? What do you, a loser, know? Are you doubting Pindao's friendship with them all?"
Although they are both poor people in the world, Pindao has had friendships with many strong men with rough backgrounds in the world.
Now that His Highness has room for people, Pindao has found them all so that they can have a place to live, and at the same time, it can also increase His Highness's strength. What is suspicious about it?
You, with your ant-like cultivation, dare to chirp here, are you looking for death?"
As soon as the words fell, a sinister chill suddenly surged around Taoist Wushang's body, making Lin Fengyu tremble.
Taoist Wushang is a martial arts master in the True Alchemy Realm, and he is still one of the stronger ones.
Lin Fengyu, a low-level warrior who had only reached the innate realm, could not even resist the opponent's momentum.
But when Li Qiudi saw someone scolding her man, she immediately raised her eyebrows and waved her hand, and the powerful energy immediately suppressed the Wushan Taoist.
"Looking for death? I want to see who is looking for death!"
Taoist Wushang, when you were hunted down like a lost dog by the Hidden Demon lineage and the Taoist sect, why didn't you show off your majesty to them?"
Seeing the quarrel between his two "right-hand men", Xiang Chong quickly started to break up the fight.
That's right, Xiang Chong now regards Taoist Wushang as his right-hand man, even more than Lin Fengyu.
Although Lin Fengyu was the first person to seek refuge with him, his strength and ability were limited after all. His only advantage was Li Qiudi, and Xiang Chong was not worried about his betrayal.
Taoist Wushang has already been doing things for his father for so many years, and his strength and influence are guaranteed. Now that he has helped him attract so many powerful people, he deserves even more attention.
Of course, Xiang Chong was not completely stimulated by such good things and lost his mind.
Although Lin Fengyu's words were directed at Taoist Wushang, the suspicion was justified.
So Xiang Chong also sent people to Fengmanlou to check the identities of these people.
Feng Manlou's reputation has formed a subconscious feeling in the entire world. Whenever there is a need to check this kind of information, Feng Manlou must be contacted.
When Xiang Chong got the information from Feng Manlou and it turned out to be similar to what Taoist Wushang said, Xiang Chong also breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time he valued Taoist Wushang more.
He now has a lot of talented people under his command, but there are only a few who can actually get things done.
Although Lin Fengyu is still loyal, his vision, ability and knowledge are limited. Even with the help of Li Qiudi behind him, he still cannot become famous.
As for Kang Dongming's cheap master, he has gained fame and strength, but for the time being it can only be used to scare people, which is also of no use.
In this way, Xiang Chong also discovered that the truly capable and powerful people under his command were really Taoist Wushang. If he didn't value him, who else could he value?
However, Xiang Chong didn't know that at this time, Taoist Wushang, whom he valued, was in a secret stronghold in Zhenwu Hall, reporting all the details of his subordinates to Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said calmly: "So, Xiang Chong thinks highly of you now?"
Taoist Wushang sarcastically said: "As for the crooked melons and cracked jujubes under Xiang Chong, there is not a single one who can be used. If he doesn't value me, who else can he value?"
In fact, Wushan Taoist has a chance to rebel now. He is not Chu Xiu's subordinate. The two parties are just cooperating.
Now if he reveals Chu Xiu's plan to let him go undercover with Xiang Chong, Xiang Chong will definitely regard him as a benefactor.
But Taoist Wushang did not choose to do this because he was a little afraid of Chu Xiu.
This was not because he was afraid of being beaten by Chu Xiu before, but because he discovered that Chu Xiu had too many trump cards. No one in this world could really see how many trump cards Chu Xiu had.
This time, Chu Xiu brought out two warriors from the True Fire Divine Refining Realm and six True Alchemy Realm warriors. This strength was enough to become a first-class sect in the outside world.
But if these people didn't have that false identity, Taoist Wushang wouldn't even recognize one of them, which would be a bit scary.
Although Taoist Wushang always feels that these people are a bit strange, their strength is there. God knows if Chu Xiu has any other trump cards.
Therefore, the idea of betrayal only appeared in Wushan Taoist's mind for a moment, and then he was completely thrown to the bottom.
Anyway, it seems that Chu Xiu has a greater chance of winning at the moment, at least in his opinion.
"Master Chu, now Xiang Chong has paid enough attention to Pindao. The few people you sent have become the core strength that Xiang Chong relies on. What should we do next?"
Chu Xiu sent such a powerful force to Xiang Chong. Taoist Wushang didn't believe that Chu Xiu was just increasing Xiang Chong's strength and stabilizing his position.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "It's very simple. Next, you just need to encourage Xiang Chong to gather the power in his hands."
"Power? What kind of power?"
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said: "Of course it is those powers that he has not controlled, such as the military, the five national armies, the royal enshrinement hall, etc.
You only need to encourage Xiang Chong and ask him to place all the people I sent into these departments, and then suppress dissidents and fight for power. Do I still need to teach you?"
Taoist Wushang raised his eyebrows and subconsciously felt a chill in his heart.
Chu Xiu's move seemed to be to increase Xiang Chong's power, but it was actually very sinister. It was obviously trying to ruin Xiang Chong's reputation.
Xiang Chong is not the emperor at the moment, and even if he becomes the emperor of Bei Yan, people will be disgusted and even hostile if he plunders the power of various departments of Bei Yan so wantonly.
For example, the Five Armed Forces of the Zhenguo Army are the exclusive domain of the military bosses. Almost all the experts in the Five Armed Forces of the Zhenguo Army are promoted from the bottom up.
The only exception among the five armies of Zhenguo is Xiang Wu, who is a thorn in Xiang Long's army.
But Xiang Wu was able to secure the position of general of the Xiling Army, firstly because of his own strength, and secondly because although he was named Beiyan Royal Family, he actually grew up in the world, even if he was promoted by Xiang Long He, but in fact, Xiang Wu and the Beiyan royal family seemed to be very different from each other, so the five armies of Zhenguo did not reject him too much.
But now Chu Xiu asked Xiang Chong to deploy people there to fight for power and gain, which would probably offend the military to death.
Therefore, Wushang Taoist also hesitated and said: "Would Xiang Chong do this kind of digging his own grave?
Mr. Chu, with all due respect, I have been with Xiang Chong for a while. Although this person's mental ability is not that high, he is not too stupid. He should know the consequences of this kind of thing. "
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said: "Of course he knows, but he will still do it.
You should know what Xiang Chong was like in his early years.
None of the big shots in the military chose to seek refuge with him or help him. Instead, they all joined Xiang Li.
Having grown up in this environment, Xiang Chong's attitude towards that group of people is not very good now. Even if all those people have now switched to his command, he still can't change his mind. You just need to mention it at the right time. Come out, he won't refuse."
Chu Xiu's vision of seeing people was pretty accurate, but when he first looked at Xiang Chong, he made some mistakes. Later, he carefully studied Xiang Chong's psychology, and he roughly understood why the other party had changed so much. big.
Desire for power can distort people's minds. Xiang Chong is obviously such a person.
From feeling inferior to having nothing to suddenly gaining everything, few people can withstand this sudden change and distortion in mentality.
It is precisely because of this that Xiang Chong is not used to his status yet.
For a qualified emperor, it is normal for people to be warm and cold. Although there is also such a thing as burning a cold stove, when you are at your lowest point, it is impossible for others to put all their treasures on you.
If this kind of thing were replaced by a qualified emperor, he would definitely laugh it off. Others are loyal to power. If you have power, you will naturally get the loyalty of others. This kind of thing is normal.
But Xiang Chong still couldn't let go of the neglect and contempt he received in the past. How could he worry about offending others?
Taoist Wushang was still a little hesitant about Chu Xiu's analysis, but now that he was on Chu Xiu's side, the two ends of the rat's head were taboo, so he had to follow what Chu Xiu said and find an opportunity to encourage Xiang Rush out.
A few days later, after a dinner, Xiang Chong suddenly found Taoist Wushang alone and asked him: "Taoist Master, my current strength is not weak, but I don't know why, I still feel a little lacking. What, you can probably tell, what exactly is missing here in this palace?"
Taoist Wushang sneered in his heart, what you lack now is your mind!
Xiang Long has already arranged everything. As long as you wait for Xiang Long's death, you can inherit the throne. Now you still want to cause trouble. Isn't this a lack of heart?
However, by asking Xiang Chong, he gave Taoist Wushang a chance.
He stroked his long beard, pondered for a moment and said: "Your Highness needs status and strength now. Logically speaking, he lacks nothing, but the only thing he lacks is currently unavailable, so I still won't say anything. That’s wonderful.”
Xiang Chong said anxiously: "Taoist Master, what relationship do you have with me? What exactly is lacking in me right now? You need to tell me first, and then you will know whether it can be made up for."
Taoist Wushang looked solemn and said categorically: "Power! Your Highness, what you lack now is power!"
