Chapter 457 Kidnapping
Everyone has seen menacing people before, whether it is the head of the Liu family, Liu Ji, Eunuch Li, or Fang Zhenqi, they are all veterans, so they are naturally no strangers to such things.
But they had never seen someone as fresh and refined as Chu Xiu threatening others.
And Chu Xiu was no longer a threat, it was almost like an ultimatum.
Liu Ji's old face turned red, of course he was not excited, but angry.
What is the difference between Chu Xiu's behavior and a robber? This is called a gift? It's almost dead.
But at this time Liu Ji really didn't know what to say, because this was a multiple-choice question.
Looking at the presents on the table, Liu Ji must have been ecstatic if it was normal, but at this moment, those things only made him feel hot, life-threatening!
He has already promised the prince, so is he going to betray now?
Of course, if he didn't betray, then these gifts that bought him would turn into deadly money.
Liu Ji has been fighting in this southwest land for decades, and he is also a person who has experienced countless fights. He saw a killing intent in Chu Xiu's eyes, an indifferent killing intent.
People with this kind of eyes will not take human life seriously. They are more terrifying than those who look fierce and threaten to kill this and that at every turn.
So Liu Ji believed that if he refused, the other party would dare to bring someone to slaughter his Liu family right now!
Facing Chu Xiu's indifferent gaze, Liu Ji smiled bitterly, and put away those things one by one.
If the prince's people are in the southwest at this time, he still has the intention of asking for help.
But it will take a month for the prince's people to arrive. At that time, it is estimated that the prince's people will have to collect his body!
A smile appeared on Chu Xiu's face and said: "The person who knows the current affairs is a hero, and you are a hero, Master Liu. When the day of the alliance, you should know which side you are on."
After speaking, Chu Xiu left directly with Eunuch Li and Fang Zhenqi, leaving only Liu Ji with a complicated expression behind.
After leaving the Liu family, Eunuch Li was a little puzzled and said, "Master Chu, if the Liu family has collected things, they will really stand by our side? What if they go back on their word?"
Chu Xiu sneered, and said: "Repent? He dare not. He betrayed the prince by taking our things. Even if he went to explain to the prince immediately, the impression of him as a betrayer has been left in the prince. Psychologically, even if the crown prince verbally says he trusts him, does Liu Ji dare to fully believe that the crown prince trusts him?"
What Chu Xiu said was the same as a tongue twister, but neither Eunuch Li nor Fang Zhenqi were stupid, and they both understood immediately.
This is indeed the case, if Liu Ji takes their things and then betrays, it will be a disservice to both sides, offending the prince and the second prince, if one of them gets angry at that time, no one will be able to help him carry it off.
Thinking of this, Eunuch Li subconsciously glanced at Chu Xiu, and had to say that Chu Xiu really had a lot of vigor in doing things.
Don't procrastinate, go straight to the point, as long as they find the right target, they can solve a big force in a day, and in less than a month, this is plenty for them.
Although this process was indeed a bit good-sounding, and now Liu Ji must be yelling at the three of them in his heart, but these are not important, the result is the most important thing.
Chu Xiu looked to the east, and said in a deep voice, "The next family is the Diancang Sword Sect in Diancang Mountain. But before we go, I need to trouble the two of you to make a cameo as a kidnapper."
Eunuch Li frowned and said, "Tie who?"
"The lord of the Diancang Sword Sect, the three sons of Han Qianting of the 'Wind Chasing Sword', according to the information I got from Tiejianmen, none of his three sons are willing to secretly cultivate in the Diancang Mountain. Have to go out for a day.
Seizing the time of this day, kidnap these three people away quietly, without alarming anyone, so only the two are the most reliable. "
Both Eunuch Li and Fang Zhenqi resisted Chu Xiu's task.
After all, they are all people with status, but now they are going to be guest kidnappers, which is really a bit of a drop.
However, the key to destroying the prince's side right now is that they don't care about whether the price will drop or not, so they can only do so.
Five days later, in the Diancang Sword Sect of the Diancang Mountain, Han Qianting, the head of the Diancang Sword Sect, stood on the back cliff of the Diancang Mountain, frowning.
Although his three sons did not live up to expectations, they knew the importance. They would go down the mountain to have fun on weekdays, and they would come back in a day. However, it has been two days now, but they haven't even seen a shadow.
"Diancang Mountain is a famous mountain in the southwest, but I think you don't have time to enjoy the scenery of this Cangshan Mountain with the mood of Sect Master Han, which is a pity."
The moment he heard the voice, Han Qianting was startled. Looking at a young warrior who suddenly appeared behind him, he shouted, "How did you get in here?"
Diancang Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Except for a small road up the mountain, there are cliffs all around.
This is the forbidden area of the back mountain of Dian Cang Sword Sect, only the disciples of Dian Cang Sword Sect are eligible to enter, how did this stranger get in here through the interrogation of so many Dian Cang Sword Sect disciples?
Chu Xiu walked forward step by step. For a sect like the Diancang Sword Sect, it's fine without a martial arts master guarding it. It doesn't even have a formation. With Chu Xiu's current spiritual strength, he can enter this There is simply no difficulty in planting a place.
Making a booing gesture at Han Qianting, Chu Xiu said indifferently: "Sovereign Han, keep your voice down, don't attract other people, it could be the lives of your three sons, don't you want it?"
As he said that, Chu Xiu took out three jade pendants, which turned out to be blood-red in color and looked very magnificent.
These three pieces of blood jade were a gift from Han Qianting to his three sons, they could nourish qi and blood, and the shapes were carved out by him himself, so Han Qianting recognized them at a glance, and they belonged to his sons.
Han Qianting's complexion changed suddenly, and he shouted in a low voice, "What did you do to my three children?"
Chu Xiu said indifferently: "It's nothing, just invite them to be guests, but I can't guarantee what will happen to them in the future. It all depends on your attitude, Sovereign Han."
Han Qianting said angrily: "It's the rules of the rivers and lakes, it's not as bad as your family, who are you?"
"Is it worse than your family?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "Sect Master Han, what you said is wrong, it will affect your whole body. When you make certain decisions, you and your family have actually been implicated, so this is a human being. , it is better to be cautious.
As for who I am, it doesn't matter, you just need to know that I belong to the Second Prince, that's enough. "
Han Qianting understood all this in an instant, and he said coldly: "The second prince is a dignified prince, I didn't expect to act so despicably!"
Chu Xiu shrugged, but didn't care. Anyway, Han Qianting scolded the second prince, not him.
Looking at Han Qianting, Chu Xiu said calmly: "Sect Master Han calm down, some things are not bad.
As far as I know, none of the three sons of Sovereign Han are that talented. In your lifetime, Sovereign Han, can the next generation of the Diancang Sword Sect let your three sons inherit? This is an unknown.
The sect is not an aristocratic family, and the Diancang Sword Sect is not owned by Sect Master Han alone. Is it worth it to not want your own son for the benefit of the entire Diancang Sword Sect? "
Han Qianting gritted his teeth and said, "What does the second prince want?"
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said: "It's very simple, when the alliance will be held in a month's time, it will be enough for Dian Cang Jianzong to stand by the second prince.
Sect Master Han, don't worry, the three sons are all safe, and there are still masters teaching them martial arts.
After the matter is completed, the three sons will definitely return to Diancang Mountain safely, and if Sect Master Han needs it, the second prince will also support you, Sect Master Han, so that one of your three sons can successfully inherit the Diancang Sword Sect. "
Han Qianting's complexion was uncertain, Chu Xiu didn't say much, he just said lightly: "Now Sect Master Han doesn't have to rush to promise me anything.
When it's time for the alliance, just look at your performance, Sovereign Han. Anyway, as long as you remember one thing, Sovereign Han, it will be the lives of your three sons, all of which are in your hands. "
After finishing speaking, Chu Xiu turned around and went down the mountain without looking at Han Qianting's expression.
Chu Xiu was 90% sure that Han Qianting would choose to agree to him.
The difference between Zongmen and aristocratic family is that aristocratic family is a whole composed of blood.
But the sect is biased towards individuals, Han Qianting is only the suzerain of the Cang Cang Sword Sect, and the Cang Cang Sword Sect does not represent Han Qianting, it goes without saying which is more important, his own son or the future of the sect.
According to the information Zheng Tiantu gave to Chu Xiu, this suzerain Han is not the kind of hero who is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the sect. On the contrary, he has always wanted his son to take over as suzerain.
After getting off Diancang Mountain, Eunuch Li and Fang Zhenqi were waiting for him below.
"Is everything safe?" Eunuch Li asked.
Chu Xiu nodded and said: "Eunuch Li, don't worry, I won't make a move without absolute certainty.
Now there is only one family left, so you can just pick one from Ersanzhai. "
Eunuch Li looked a little depressed and said: "What are you going to do this time? Could it be that you want our family to kidnap again?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "No, it's very simple this time, just throw money at it.
Most of the bandits in Ersanzhai are a group of mobs, and what they want is very simple, which is profit.
Moreover, the prince himself didn't pay much attention to these bandits, and he didn't pay as much effort on them as Tie Jianmen and others.
So as long as we spend money, we can directly create a cottage that surrenders to the second prince. "
Eunuch Li frowned and said, "But the person who spent money on it, is it reliable?"
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course it's reliable. The bandits are just greedy and not idiots. Since we can spend so much money to bribe them, it means we can also spend so much money to slaughter them!"
