Chapter 452 Layout

Back in Daliang City, Lu Longguang asked Chu Xiu, "Is there really any change in the crown prince?"

Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Eunuch Li and others have also seen the news, so His Highness just ask Eunuch Li directly."

Eunuch Li bowed his hands to Lu Longguang with an ugly face and said, "Your Highness, the old slave has neglected his duty, and the prince has indeed made a big move recently.

Since the last time the prince was punished by His Majesty to reflect at home, the prince appears to be very honest and low-key on the surface, but in fact the prince sent people to secretly contact a group of reckless forces in the southwest, five families, eight families, eleven sects and twenty-three villages , wanting to bring them all under his command.

Once successful, the crown prince will completely control the southwest land, and even control most of the business routes between Western Chu and me in Eastern Qi! "

The land in the southwest mentioned by Eunuch Li is an area near the west of the Eastern Qi Dynasty and close to the 100,000 mountains. Because although the area is large, it is sparsely populated and appears desolate and barbaric. In the southwest, there are only a few state capitals in it.

Originally, this place could be said to be despised by everyone, but in recent hundreds of years, it has become an important commercial route from Western Chu to Eastern Qi. Although there are many barren mountains and dense forests, the road is difficult to walk, but the distance is It is very close, so there are many business travelers coming and going.

After this place was gradually heated up by some business travelers coming and going, it naturally formed a force, which is the twenty-three villages of five schools, eight families, eleven schools, and twenty-three villages that Eunuch Li said.

Although there are nearly fifty of these forces in total, their strength is not very strong. After all, the oldest of them is only a hundred years old.

But regardless of whether these forces are strong or not, once they join the prince's command, it will be a huge improvement for the prince's power.

And because the prince has already controlled a powerful business route, his own income will also increase crazily, which is definitely not a good thing for Lu Longguang.

Lu Longguang sneered and said: "The collusion with Jiang Wenyuan before is not counted, but now my elder brother dares to collude with these martial arts forces in the southwest. He is really desperate. I will go to my father to sue him and keep him for food." I can't walk around!"

At this time Chu Xiu said lightly: "Your Highness, let's calm down first, it's useless if you go, maybe you will be reprimanded by His Majesty instead."

Lu Longguang frowned and said, "Why?"

Chu Xiu said: "The behavior of His Royal Highness this time is different from last time.

Jiang Wenyuan's status is special, it is a taboo for the crown prince to cooperate with him, but now the crown prince recruits these reckless people, the meaning is quite different.

Although the rivers and lakes and the court are in opposition, it is not impossible to cooperate. Your Highness, don't forget the battle between Beiyan and Dongqi in the past.

Beiyan was able to win at the beginning, precisely because of Beiyan's royal family and Beiyan's martial arts forces.

And now His Majesty has realized his previous mistakes, and has begun to take the initiative to join forces with the martial arts forces in Eastern Qi. Even the Baihu Hall has been merged into Eastern Qi. You should know this, Your Highness.

So now the prince's behavior is no longer a big deal in His Majesty's eyes, and he even praised the prince for being flexible.

And your Highness, if you take this matter to sue at this time, I am afraid that you will be reprimanded, because you failed to understand His Majesty's meaning. "

Lu Longguang is not an idiot, he understood after Chu Xiu's explanation. Angrily, Lu Longguang crushed a teacup and said coldly: "This plan is definitely not something that good-for-nothing brother like me can come up with. Someone must have given him an idea!"

Chu Xiu said indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether anyone gives advice to the prince, anyway, as long as the matter is done, the prince's power will definitely increase."

Lu Longguang waved his hand, solidified Chu Xiu, and said in a deep voice: "I can give you whatever power you want, there is only one premise, and that is to completely mess up the matter of the crown prince for me! "

Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said: "Of course it is the elite force. The Dragon Riders under Master Fang and Eunuch Li should also have a group of talents. Lend them all to me, and I promise to give you a satisfactory result. result."

This time, Lu Longguang didn't hesitate, just waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, from today onwards, Fang Zhenqi and Eunuch Li's forces, including the two of them, will obey your orders!"

After walking out of the palace, Eunuch Li asked Chu Xiu, "Lord Chu, what should we do now?"

In the matter of Fengmanlou, Eunuch Li himself made a mistake, so his attitude towards Chu Xiu was much lower at this time.

Fang Zhenqi on the side didn't speak, and the Dragon Riders banned the order. Since His Highness has said everything, let him listen to Chu Xiu, then naturally he will do whatever Chu Xiu asks him to do. As long as Chu Xiu does not threaten His Highness's interests, he will do it. There will be absolutely no objections.

Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Five sects, eight families, eleven sects and twenty-three villages, to put it bluntly, these forces are just a group of mobs and local chickens and dogs.

If the forces under His Highness's command were to go all out, it would not be difficult to strangle them.

It's just that, firstly, there would be too much movement, which would be easily noticed by the prince, and secondly, it would have some impact on His Highness's reputation. "

Eunuch Li frowned and said: "You also said that those dozens of forces are not top-notch factions, they are just mobs, what impact will it have on His Highness's reputation?

Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't forget the identity of Your Highness. It is a very sensitive matter for the imperial court to slaughter Jianghu Zongmen. Unless Your Highness does not want to have any cooperation with Jianghu Zongmen in the future, otherwise, this It’s better to be more cautious about this matter.”

Eunuch Li was born in the imperial palace. The eunuchs were trained in batches in the Eastern Qi Dynasty. They were mainly taught how to serve their masters, followed by martial arts.

As for ability or something, no one is going to teach that thing, it all depends on one's own comprehension.

So even though Eunuch Li is much older than Chu Xiu and has stayed with Lu Longguang for so many years, he is really not as good as Chu Xiu in terms of the overall situation.

Hearing that Chu Xiu thought more than him, Eunuch Li simply stopped talking, and he said directly: "Since you have considered these Master Chu, let's talk about your plan, our family and Master Fang are on the sidelines." Just assist Lord Chu."

Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said: "Don't worry, there are five sects, eight families, eleven sects, twenty-three villages, dozens of forces, it is impossible to have the same heart, and sometimes it is easier to attack the enemy from the inside than from the outside.

The information Fengmanlou gave us is very complete, and there are even general information on these dozens of forces. Let me pick a few targets, and then slowly lay out the layout. There is time. "

Chu Xiu's expression at this time was a bit gloomy, and Eunuch Li, who had always been known for his feminine temperament, felt a little chills in his heart.

In terms of killing, Eunuch Li, who was Lv Longguang's personal eunuch, may not have killed fewer people than Chu Xiu.

But when it comes to those who died indirectly at the hands of Chu Xiu, Eunuch Li is no match for Chu Xiu.

Three days later, in Cuiyu Pavilion, one of the largest brothels in Daliang City, Chu Xiu, Fang Zhenqi and Li Gonggong sat in a private room drinking, but none of the girls wanted it.

Fang Zhenqi is okay, but Eunuch Li feels uncomfortable sitting here.

He is a eunuch, why did he come to this kind of place? If His Highness hadn't told him to listen to Chu Xiu, Eunuch Li would definitely think that Chu Xiu was humiliating him.

Just when Eunuch Li felt extremely awkward and wanted to ask Chu Xiu what he was doing here, Chu Xiu knocked on the table and made a silent gesture.

With his eyes slightly closed, a powerful spirit burst out of Chu Xiu's body, spreading out like silk threads. Fang Zhenqi and Eunuch Li were shocked at this moment.

What a terrifying mental power!

Fang Zhenqi and Eunuch Li are both great masters in the realm of harmony between man and nature, but even they can feel the strength of Chu Xiu's spiritual power, which is so powerful that it makes people tremble. Come on, their mental strength is not as good as Chuxiu's in the same rank!

In fact, although Chu Xiu's mental power was strong before, it was not so strong.

But after killing that Zhang Chufan, and getting the orthodox inheritance of the Moxintang "Heart Demon Revolving Dafa" and "Nine Ways of Constipating Souls", Chu Xiu's spiritual power can be said to have directly skyrocketed to a level.

The martial arts of Moxintang can be described as the coexistence of evil and supernatural. The Dafa of Heart Demon Rotation is a way to specialize in spiritual power, and the Nine Great Stances of Conjuring Soul is a fusion of spiritual power, martial arts and even Buddhist and Taoist martial arts. Existence is even more miraculous.

If the current Chu Xiu fights against Xiahou Wujiang again, even if he only uses his mental power, he can completely crush Xiahou Wujiang.

At this time, Chu Xiu's spiritual power also experienced all kinds of strange changes. His spiritual power was like a coil of silk thread, extending to other places in the Cuiyu Pavilion like a spider coil, light but tough, except for the martial arts master. Or it is a master who specializes in the unity of heaven and man, and no one can detect this change. Naturally, there is no such person in Cuiyu Pavilion at this time.

This move is the silk-drawing soul net among the nine soul-absorbing stances. According to the inheritance of the kung fu method, after the cultivation has reached a great success, if you use it with all your strength, everyone within a radius of hundreds of feet will be enveloped by this soul net. A single silk thread can entangle the soul of a warrior, pulling away the soul, and killing a person in an instant.

Of course, the current Chu Xiu is still far away from this level. Right now, this type of exercise is only used by Chu Xiu for eavesdropping.

All the voices of the entire Cuiyu Pavilion were transmitted to Chu Xiu through the soul net of Qiansi, and reflected in Chu Xiu's mind, and Chu Xiu separated two spiritual powers and transmitted them to Fang Zhenqi and Eunuch Li.

After blocking out all those messy voices, two familiar voices reappeared in the ears of Chu Xiu and the others, one was Eunuch Chen and the other was Li Yuan.
