Chapter 778 Persecution

Before Chu Xiu went to Dongqi, Xiang Long had approached him and asked him to go to Da Guangming Temple to garrison troops, but Chu Xiu shunned him down and didn't take it seriously.

Xiang Long wanted to tease Da Guangming Temple at this time, but Chu Xiu didn't want to be a knife in his hand.

Originally, Chu Xiu thought that he had gone to Dongqi, deliberately shirked it, and could fool this matter, but he didn't expect that Xiang Long was still obsessed with going to Daguangming Temple to garrison troops.

The bitter cold place in the extreme north has no value at all. Apart from angering Da Guangming Temple, it is basically of no benefit to the Northern Yan court.

At this moment, there was another movement outside the Zhenwu Hall, and an eunuch in the palace walked in. When he saw Chu Xiu, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said quickly: "Master Chu, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time. It's time, now that you have finally returned from Dongqi, His Majesty invited you into the palace to discuss matters."

Chu Xiu shook his head lightly, he might not be able to hide this time.

So he first asked Mei Qinglian to help arrange for Lu Fengxian, while he entered the palace with the eunuch.

In the main hall of Beiyan Palace, Chu Xiu saw Xiang Long again.

Compared with the last time, this time Xiang Long's face was obviously older, and even his breath became weaker and weaker.

Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly. He probably guessed why Xiang Long was so persistent.

It's not that Xiang Long is old and confused, but that the hero of Beiyan may not have a long time to live.

The hero of Beiyan spent half his life as a soldier, and spent half his life developing Beiyan. After exhausting all the tricks, he surpassed Dongqi, and finally developed Beiyan into a great country comparable to Dongqi.

However, Beiyan's own background and potential are here, and there are too many things that Xiang Long needs to deal with, and it takes too much of his effort.

For example, Lu Haochang, the emperor of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, a well-known mediocre emperor, didn't think about anything, only needing the word 'steadiness' was enough, so instead he had time to cultivate himself and he almost killed his son.

And Xiang Long spent so much time and effort, even if he has the false name of heavenly talents and earthly treasures, it is just drinking poison to quench his thirst, and the effect will not be too great.

Before dying, it may be Xiang Long's last obsession to leave a safe and complete Beiyan for his descendants.

Seeing Chu Xiu approaching at this time, Xiang Long snorted softly and said, "Chu Xiu, you are the governor of my Wutang in Beiyan Town. I entrusted you with such an important position, but you turned out to be out all day long." Run, what does this sound like?"

Chu Xiu said lightly: "Your Majesty has wronged me, and I was only alone outside, but it didn't delay the matter of Zhenwutang.

At the beginning, I made an agreement with His Majesty that Zhenwutang could help suppress Beiyan Wulin, but now Beiyan Wulin is very stable and peaceful, what difference does it make if I am here or not? "

Xiang Long snorted coldly and said, "I don't bother arguing with you about these trivial matters. I told you before that Beiyan is going to station troops in the extreme north, and your town martial arts hall is responsible for taking the lead. Do you know about this matter?" gone?"

Chu Xiu frowned and said: "Your Majesty, you have also seen the strength of Daguangming Temple. Garrisoning troops in the bitter and cold place in the extreme north is tantamount to provoking Daguangming Temple. The consequences are hard to imagine."

Xiang Long was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Chu Xiu, do you think I've lost my mind and insisted on doing something at such a critical moment to provoke those monks?"

Chu Xiu didn't speak, but obviously, that's what he meant.

Xiang Long suddenly laughed, and his face darkened instantly, and he said coldly: "I am the emperor of Beiyan, and all the mountains and rivers in Beiyan belong to me!

But the group of monks in Da Guangming Temple, they don't have Zhen, Bei Yan in their eyes!

Before you went to Dongqi, when an old monk from the Dharma Academy of Daguangming Temple passed by Donglin County, because Nan Qianli, the iron guard general of Donglin County, was a casual cultivator of the magic way, he practiced magic skills on death row prisoners in the barracks. Sensing the breath, he rushed into the barracks alone, beheaded Nan Qianli, killed and wounded hundreds of Beiyan soldiers, and finally left in the air.

In the eyes of these monks, they only have their own right and wrong. In their eyes, has there ever been me?

Could it be that one day some people in my palace will practice magic arts, and they will come to my palace too? "

After listening to Xiang Long's words, Chu Xiu's brows twitched. He didn't know how to describe the monks in Daguangming Temple.

Are these bald donkeys really out of their minds? There are not enough other places for you to show off your strength, yet you dare to break into the Beiyan barracks alone to kill people?

To be honest, if this kind of thing happened to Chu Xiu, he couldn't bear it either.

If the monk of Daguangming Temple has the heart, that's all. The court can still talk to the other side, where is the conflict between the two sides.

But the problem is that the old monk in Daguangming Temple did it purely unintentionally.

The other party just felt that someone was practicing magic skills there, so that's good, no matter whether the other party was General Beiyan or not, it didn't matter whether the other party was using death row prisoners to practice magic skills.

From this point, it can be seen that the monks of Da Guangming Temple have never paid attention to the Beiyan court, so it is no wonder that Xiang Long is so angry.

It's just that Xiang Long's anger is his business, but Chu Xiu has no intention of helping Xiang Long to die.

So Chu Xiu said directly: "Your Majesty, Zhenwutang can do other things for you, but this matter is no different from courting death.

The abbot of Da Guangming Temple has already stepped into the Heaven and Earth Profound Realm, if he is angered, who will resist? "

Xiang Long snorted coldly: "If the matter is simple, why would I ask you for it? You decide the scale yourself. I only want the result, not the process!"

Chu Xiu wanted to continue to say something, but at this time Lu Jianghe suddenly said: "Boy, promise him that a treasure buried in the former Japanese Venerable Blood Demon Hall is in the extreme north near the Daguangming Temple. land."

Chu Xiu wondered: "What joke are you kidding? You are a member of the Kunlun Demon Sect, but you ended up placing the treasure burial site around Da Guangming Temple?"

Lu Jianghe sneered and said, "So what? With the power of my Holy Cult in the past, as long as you don't put things in the hut of the abbot of Daguangming Temple, where can you put them?

In the past, when the Dugu leader was there, Da Guangming Temple was so frightened that he dared not even go out of the mountain gate. It was safe enough for the deity to put the buried treasure there. "

Lu Jianghe wouldn't lie to him about this kind of thing, so when he heard what Lu Jianghe said, Chu Xiu had no choice but to put on an expression of surrender, and said in a low voice, "I obey, Your Majesty!"

If there was no order from the imperial court, if Chu Xiu rushed to the vicinity of Da Guangming Temple, he would probably be suspected by the people of Da Guangming Temple.

With the order from the imperial court, Chu Xiu had one more excuse.

Of course, on the surface, he still had to act as if he had no choice but to agree.

After Chu Xiu left, an old eunuch appeared behind Xiang Long. It was Xiang Long's personal eunuch, Eunuch Han.

He whispered: "Your Majesty, Lord Chu seems very reluctant. Will there be any accidents if you force him like this?"

Xiang Long snorted coldly: "These gangsters are so wild and unruly!

Unwilling? There is no willingness or unwillingness here, only what you can do and what you can't do! "

Speaking of this, Xiang Long's voice suddenly became lower, and he sighed: "I don't have much time.

Bei Yan was inherently weak, unable to compete with Dong Qi who was located in the Central Plains.

In this generation, even if I worked hard, and Dongqi Lu Haochang was simply an incompetent person, this temporarily overwhelmed Dongqi.

However, the strengths of both sides are at stake. As long as there is a decent emperor in Dongqi, there will be a crisis in Beiyan.

Internal and external troubles, I have nothing to do about the external troubles at this time, but this internal trouble, I want to completely solve it while I am still alive! "

Eunuch Han shook his head silently.

Your Majesty is too anxious.

Even if Beiyan's Jianghu power is not as good as Dongqi's, it is not so easy to solve.

Especially if His Majesty wants to borrow a knife to kill someone, this is actually a dangerous move.

That Chuxiu is not an obedient knife, and people of the devil's line are the most dangerous.

Earlier, His Majesty promised that the Yinshan Sect's Taoist Wuhai would make the Yinshan Sect the state religion, but Eunuch Han objected.

Those members of the Yinshan Sect were also from the Demonic Way, and they acted harshly, so they were not good guys.

As a result, His Majesty has attracted Chu Xiu again. This man has a long reputation in the world, and he is not a good guy.

Of course, Eunuch Han will not say these things, because it is unnecessary.

He is just a servant, not the Beiyan royal family, so if he should say what he should say and what he should not say, then there is no need to speak.

Besides, for a hero like Xiang Long, self-willedness is certain, and he can't listen to other people's suggestions.

At this moment, after Chu Xiu walked out of the palace, he had a gloomy expression on his face.

Does Xiang Long really regard him as his courtier? How dare you force him like this.

Zhenwutang and Beiyan court are actually just a cooperative relationship.

Lu Jianghe chuckled in Chu Xiu's ear and said, "Don't be surprised, the imperial court has this kind of virtue. In the old days when my Kunlun Demon Sect was in power, no matter whether it was Dongqi or Beiyan, they didn't dare to interfere in any Jianghu affairs.

Now the old emperor of Beiyan has the guts to even dare to make plans for Da Guangming Temple. "

Chu Xiu didn't pay attention to Lu Jianghe, but at this moment, Taoist Wuyi came out from the other side of the palace. When he saw Chu Xiu, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "It seems that you, Mr. Chu, have been entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty. ,congratulations."

Taoist Wu Hui said congratulations, but on his face was a look of gloating.

It's not a good job to run to Da Guangming Temple to challenge him.

Aren't you Chuxiu capable? Isn't it high-profile?

Well now, this kind of good thing naturally fell on your head, but it didn't fall on me.

Chu Xiu didn't speak, but just kept staring at Taoist Wuyao, and saw that Taoist Wuyao's heart was a little hairy, so he said lightly: "Do you think this is a good thing? You are taking pleasure in my misfortune now, but you are actually laughing at yourself."

Taoist Wuzhai frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Chu Xiu glanced around and said, "Find a quiet place to talk."
