Chapter 641 Emperor Beiyan
Extraordinary people have their own extraordinary features. Xiang Chong, the thirteenth prince, will shine in Beiyan's battle for succession in the future. Compared with Xiang Chong in the past, Xiang Chong at this time is already more mature and sophisticated many.
Chu Xiu smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Yan's kindness is appreciated, but since my identity has been exposed, His Royal Highness Yan should know that it is impossible for me to seek refuge with other people, and even if I am real I have taken refuge in His Highness King Yan, do you really dare to use me, Your Highness?"
Xiang Chong laughed a few times, Chu Xiu was right, even if Chu Xiu really took refuge in him, Xiang Chong would not dare to use Chu Xiu with confidence.
The way of magic is always the way of magic, who dares to rely on a person in the way of magic as his confidant?
Xiang Chong coughed and said, "I don't know why Brother Chu came to find me this time?"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "I want His Highness King Yan to help introduce you, and I want to see His Majesty."
"See Father?"
Xiang Chong couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
Among so many heirs of Northern Yan Emperor Xiang Long, although Xiang Chong was not the strongest, he was the most favored one.
He wanted Xiang Long to meet Chu Xiu, but it was actually very simple.
It's just that at this critical juncture, Chu Xiu came first to secretly ask to see Emperor Beiyan. The meaning of this was too sensitive, and Xiang Chong didn't dare to mess around.
Chu Xiu said lightly: "His Royal Highness, don't worry, this is the capital city of Beiyan, I just came here alone, there are countless masters in the Imperial Palace, are you still worried that I will be harmful to His Majesty?
Besides, you don't have to worry about me talking nonsense, in front of His Majesty, even if I am a member of the hidden demon lineage, I will not talk nonsense.
This time His Highness helped me, I will remember this favor, and I will definitely repay it in the future. "
Chu Xiu's last words moved Xiang Chong.
In fact, Xiang Chong really doesn't care whether Chu Xiu is righteous or evil. As members of the court, although their attitudes towards righteousness and evil are somewhat different, the core is the same, and they are vigilant and exploited.
Chu Xiu is now famous. As the most outstanding warrior of the younger generation of the Yinmo lineage, he himself represents some of the power of the Yinmo lineage. If he gets a favor from him, as long as he can use it in the future, it will not be a bad thing .
So Xiang Chong thought for a while and said, "Okay, but brother Chu, father's temper is not that good, you'd better be more careful about what you say."
Chu Xiu nodded, of course he knew that Xiang Long's temper would not be good.
It's strange that a king who can lead Beiyan to counterattack a powerful country like Dongqi would have a good temper.
After Xiang Chong left, two hours passed before an old eunuch led Chu Xiu into the imperial city through the small gate.
After all, Chu Xiu's identity is a bit special. It is still a bit inappropriate for a person in the magic way to openly enter the imperial city through the gate.
Chu Xiu had seen Dongqi's palace before, of course it was only on the periphery, it was very magnificent.
Compared with Dong Qi's palace, Beiyan's palace lacked some luxurious decorations, but it was a bit more majestic and dignified.
The whole Beiyan's imperial palace was built in dark colors, the gray-black ground, and the pitch-black palace made people feel a little depressing.
However, Beiyan is still dark, so it is normal for the palace to be built in this way.
Even among the Beiyan royal family, even the dragon robes were black in the past, and the black dragon was also admired.
Later, I heard some alchemists say that the dragon is respected by the nine-clawed golden dragon, so Beiyan changed the dragon robe to golden yellow later.
Chu Xiu followed the old eunuch to a side hall, where Xiang Chong was already waiting.
The lights in the side hall were dim, making the atmosphere even more depressing.
At the top sat an old man wearing a dragon robe but a black dragon-patterned blanket. This man was Emperor Beiyan, the Xiang Long who once united vertically and horizontally to counterattack Eastern Qi with the power of a weak country!
If you just look at his appearance, Xiang Long is actually very ordinary, even so ordinary that if he doesn't wear a dragon robe, he is an ordinary old man.
It's just that as his squinted eyes opened, what bloomed was a sharp edge like a blade.
In all fairness, among the emperors of the three great powers in the world, Xiang Long is the most outstanding one.
The royal family of Western Chu is relatively safe, and some members of the royal family are not doing business properly, some like martial arts, and some like witchcraft and other messy things.
Therefore, in terms of national strength, Western Chu has never been considered strong. Of course, there are also reasons for the terrain of Western Chu.
And Dong Qi Emperor Lu Haochang was notoriously incompetent, except for living a longer life, he had almost no merits.
Of course, someone who can become an emperor has not yet been pushed down from the throne. Lu Haochang can't say that he is stupid, but that his ability is really inferior.
And Xiang Long, the Northern Yan Emperor in front of him, is recognized as the hero of the world today.
Eastern Qi was located in the Central Plains, with a vast land and abundant resources. At that time, Western Chu was a small country in the southern barbarians, and Beiyan was a small country in the north. Anyway, in the eyes of Dongqi, they were all small countries. When the worst happened, Beiyan was almost wiped out by Eastern Qi.
Until Xiang Long ascended the throne, he forgot to sleep and eat in the early stage, and developed national power and cultivated strength in a low-key and forbearing manner.
In the later period, they teamed up with Beiyan Wulin to counterattack Dongqi. Yang Gongdu was in charge of these things in the past.
As a result, in the First World War, the colossal Dong Qi was actually defeated by Bei Yan, and even Wei Guo, which was attached to Dong Qi, was swallowed by Bei Yan and became Wei County.
If it weren't for the fact that Beiyan's foundation was too weak to sustain a far-reaching attack on Eastern Qi, Beiyan might have become the overlord of the Central Plains by now.
At this time, Xiang Long was also looking at Chu Xiu, not so much looking at him as sizing him up.
Chu Xiu bowed his hands to Xiang Long and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."
With a soft snort, Xiang Long said in a deep voice, "Why don't you kneel when you see me?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "I'm not a subject of Yan, why should I kneel down to the king of Yan?"
Xiang Long snorted coldly: "I heard that you, Chu Xiu, are from the Yan Kingdom. Why, with some strength and background, you don't even care about your own country?"
Chu Xiu smiled and said: "Your Majesty may have misunderstood me. I am only famous in the country of Yan, not from the country of Yan. To be precise, I should be from the county of Wei, which is the county of Wei that was destroyed by your majesty.
Of course, with my status, I already have no home and no country. It is said that the devil is arrogant and surly, and it is true for us. Except for the teacher who teaches us, we do not even worship the world. "
Xiang Long sneered and said, "You don't even worship heaven and earth! You encouraged Xiang Chong to bring you to see me. You just wanted to use the power of the Beiyan court to help you avoid this catastrophe, but in the end you I can't even kneel down to worship me.
An arrogant and rude person, why should I help you? "
Chu Xiu said lightly: "Your Majesty misunderstood, I am actually very unaccustomed to asking for help. All debts in this world are easy to repay, but human debts are the most difficult to repay. Besides, the things you ask for are not necessarily stable. .
What I like is cooperation, mutual benefit, benefit in hand, everyone will contribute, and no one will suffer. "
Xiang Long laughed angrily and said: "It's a joke! You Chuxiu, a junior, dares to come to discuss cooperation with me, and you are also worthy to come to discuss cooperation with me!? It's almost the same with Wei Shuya of your hidden demon lineage!
Do you know how many official affairs I have to deal with every day, and how many important national affairs I have to think about? You junior came here to waste my time, do you know what crime it is to deceive the king? Or do you think that if you are a member of the hidden demon lineage, I dare not kill you! ? "
After uttering the last word, the aura and killing intent that bloomed from Xiang Long's body even made Chu Xiu feel cold.
Xiang Long actually didn't have much cultivation beyond martial arts.
A person from the royal family like him might be able to practice a bit when he was a prince, but where would he have time to practice after he ascended the throne? You can only use martial arts as something to strengthen your body, and then assist with some pills and other things to prolong your life.
But because of the hard work of dealing with official business and so on every day, this lifespan will not be extended much. On the contrary, mediocre people like Lu Haochang in Dongqi, who worry less, live longer.
In terms of strength, Chu Xiu could kill Xiang Long with just a flick of his finger.
But Xiang Long fought in the world all his life, and the number of people who died indirectly at his hands was unknown. These emperors were the ones with the most blood in their hands.
Moreover, around this empty hall, there are countless martial arts masters loyal to the Beiyan royal family in ambush. If Chu Xiu dares to act recklessly, he must be the first to die.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please don't get angry. Although I am a junior in the Yinmo lineage, my words still have some weight.
Besides, I also know what His Majesty needs. The person who wants to get rid of me this time is the same kind of person as the one you want to get rid of, Your Majesty. "
Xiang Long suddenly put away the furious expression just now, as if the murderous person just now was not him, but asked calmly: "What do you mean?"
Chu Xiu cupped his hands and said: "In the past, His Majesty joined forces with Beiyan Wulin to fight against Dongqi. This is a wonderful move.
Martial arts have no national boundaries, but warrior sects have national boundaries.
Once Dong Qi was allowed to destroy Bei Yan, Bei Yan's martial arts power would inevitably be suppressed by Dong Qi's martial arts.
With the joint efforts of Temple and Wulin, they finally counterattacked the Eastern Qi Dynasty. This is the most outstanding achievement since His Majesty ascended the throne. "
Xiang Long's complexion improved slightly. After all, what Chu Xiu said was the one thing he was most proud of.
For so many years, from the founding of Beiyan to the generation before Xiang Long, Beiyan has been suppressed by Dong Qi.
It wasn't until his generation that Bei Yan made a complete turnaround and counterattacked Dong Qi, even causing Dong Qi to suffer a big loss.
Although Beiyan could not be compared with Dongqi in terms of background, it was already recognized in the world that Beiyan was already a big country that could stand shoulder to shoulder with Dongqi.
But Chu Xiu then said again: "However, Your Majesty should have discovered the sequelae of that battle long ago.
The imperial court teamed up with Jianghu sects to fight against Dongqi, but afterward, they shared a lot of benefits with these martial arts sects of Beiyan.
This also caused Beiyan's martial arts sect to be strong and arrogant, and it was already a little bit of a posture that didn't take Beiyan's court seriously.
Your Majesty should have discovered long ago that Beiyan Wulin is too big to shake off! "
