PS: Thanks to the book friends who can’t do without water, the cat and the egg for the reward of 81,000 starting coins

General Xiang Chuxiu welcomed into the barracks, pointed at the soldiers who were training in the barracks with a proud face, and said, "Master Chu, my Xiling Army has the shortest history among the five armies of Beiyan Township. After more than a year, it has developed into this appearance, what do you think?"

"The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong!"

Chu Xiu only said four words, and Xiang Wu was already happy.

For him, these four words are already the best compliment.

And Chu Xiu is really not praising Xiang Wu idealistically, but that the Xiling Army under Xiang Wu is really not weak.

Although both Jianghu people and military warriors practice martial arts, their methods are completely different, especially in the early stage.

Most of the martial arts practiced by Jianghu people in the early stage were used for one-on-one fights, so the development is relatively comprehensive. You don’t need to be proficient in all of them, such as melee combat, hidden weapons, and body speed. To be able to some.

But warriors from the military are different.

The military does not have time to wait for you to fully develop, so there are only two things that military fighters from the military cultivate, one is to strengthen the muscles and bones, temper the body, and the other is to practice those single, but extremely powerful killers. technology.

Thousands of people are fighting on the battlefield, and it is useless to learn those messy martial arts, as long as there is one killing skill, that is enough.

Right now, the warriors of the Xiling Army under Xiang Long's command are gathered together, full of vitality and killing intent, it can be said that they are all elites.

After bringing Chu Xiu into the camp, there was also a middle-aged warrior with a fair face who looked like a Confucian scholar.

Chu Xiu said softly: "I have something secret to discuss with you, Lord Hou."

Xiang Wu waved his hand and said: "Master Chu, if you have anything to say, just say it, this is Yin Luohua, my confidant, no matter how big a secret is, you don't have to keep it from him.

Speaking of which, Lao Yin and Master Chu are still acquainted. In the past, when you, Master Chu, first became famous in the land of Yandong, Lao Yin stationed troops there and served as the general. "

Yin Luohua cupped his hands at Chu Xiu with a smile and said, "For Master Chu, I have been friends with him for a long time.

At the beginning, I felt that Mr. Chu was extraordinary, but now it seems that my vision of seeing people is really not weak. "

"Master Yin is polite."

Chu Xiu slightly raised his eyebrows and said to Yin Luohua.

What he was going to say was too sensitive, and he didn't want others to hear it.

It's just that since Xiang Wu has let Yin Luohua stay here, I, Chu Xiu, can't drive him away.

So Chu Xiu directly said to Xiang Wu: "Master Hou, what I want to tell you today is something very rebellious, and if it gets into the ears of both of you, it won't come out.

Of course, even if the two of you reveal the news, I will not admit it. "

Hearing what Chu Xiu said was so formal and serious, both Xiang Wu and Yin Luohua's expressions changed slightly.

Is it treason? What exactly does Chuxiu want to do?

Looking at the two, Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, Your Majesty forced my Zhenwutang to be a vanguard and go to the extreme north to garrison troops. You should know the result of this kind of behavior. This is basically provoking Da Guangming Temple .”

Xiang Wu and Yin Luohua looked at each other, they were not idiots, so they naturally heard something wrong.

Xiang Wu pinched his chin and said, "Lord Chu, are you offending His Majesty? Don't worry, I will help you intercede for Your Majesty when I have a chance."

Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Of course not, Lord Hou, have you not seen Your Majesty for a long time?"

Xiang Wu frowned and said: "Yeah, it's been a few months, what's the matter, what's wrong with His Majesty?"

In fact, when it comes to identity, Xiang Wu should be the most trustworthy person for Xiang Long, after all, he is from the Beiyan royal family.

Of course, the reality is the same. Xiang Long also likes to order Xiang Wu to do things big and small.

But in fact, Xiang Wu also knows that this kind of trust has to pay a price, and that price is his connections in the Northern Yan court, which are actually not very high.

In the eyes of other Beiyan military masters, they are one type of people, and Xiang Wu, who was born in the Beiyan royal family, is another type of person. He must represent the interests of the Beiyan royal family.

However, only Xiang Wu himself knew that he was actually being rejected by the Beiyan royal family.

Although he is considered to be of the Northern Yan royal family, his origin is already a collateral line of the collateral lineage, and his bloodline with the Beiyan royal family has become so thin that the two sides actually have no relationship.

So Xiang Long called him back and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. What he valued was his apparent identity and ability. To put it bluntly, Xiang Long wanted to use Xiang Wu to divide the forces of Beiyan's military, and don't let them be monolithic. That's all, its function is the same as Taoist Wu's and Chu Xiu's.

Xiang Wu was considered by the military as a member of the Beiyan royal family, but the Beiyan royal family also did not consider him to be one of their own, so the only person Xiang Wu could rely on was Xiang Long.

Although Xiang Wu is unreliable most of the time, he is actually very clear about these things.

If it were someone else, he might have to flatter Xiang Long to make his position more stable, but with Xiang Wu's character, he is not a flatterer at all.

Xiang Wu knows his position, as long as his strength remains at its peak, Xiang Long will always use him, even more than others.

On the other hand, if he has no strength, no matter how hard he flatters Xiang Long, it will be of no use at all.

Generally speaking, the relationship between him and Xiang Long is actually considered a transaction. Since it is a transaction, it should be purer, and there is no need to mess with those messy things. Naturally, he would not rub against Xiang Long on weekdays.

"Your Majesty may not last long this time, when I went to see His Majesty last time, he was already haunted by death.

That's why His Majesty asked me to solve the Da Guangming Temple in such a hurry. I think he is planning to solve all the uncertain factors in Beiyan first, and leave the next generation a very stable Beiyan. "

Hearing what Chu Xiu said, Xiang Wu also had complicated emotions.

Since Xiang Long already had signs that his lifespan was about to end, he only needed to go to the palace to know the truth immediately, so he didn't doubt that Chu Xiu would lie to him.

He has no feelings for Xiang Long, the two parties are just a deal.

It's just that it's not so easy to find a monarch and minister who understands him so well like Xiang Long, and the two sides cooperate very well.

"So, what do you want to say?" Xiang Wu stared at Chu Xiu and said.

Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said: "What I want to say is very simple, one emperor and one courtier, Lord Hou, it's time for you to think about the future.

Your Majesty is the hero of a generation. When he is around, Beiyan will not be in chaos. If he is not behind, Beiyan will undoubtedly be in chaos!

So at this time, position is very important.

But Marquis, your current position is to stand with His Majesty. When His Majesty leaves, where are you going to stand?

It seems that you, Marquis, have nothing to do with any prince, and His Majesty will not allow you to contact any prince now. "

The smile on Xiang Wu's face gradually disappeared, and Yin Luohua at the side also gave Chu Xiu a strange look.

This one really dared to say that discussing when Emperor Xiang Long of Northern Yan would die in Yanjing City is really a sensitive issue.

In fact, Yin Luohua also told Xiang Wu about this issue, let him manage his own power more, not just limited to the Xiling Army.

When His Majesty is still there, Xiang Wu can do whatever he wants, but once Xiang Long leaves, the new emperor may not tolerate Xiang Wu, nor may he understand the value of Xiang Wu's existence. It is something that can really protect oneself.

Xiang Wu narrowed his eyes and said, "Then what do you mean? You mean, let me stand by your side?"

Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Master Hou, don't be joking, even if I change my surname to Xiang, I still can't be the Emperor of Beiyan.

I just want to temporarily join hands with you, Master Hou, just in case.

The power of Zhenwutang is on the bright side, and part of the power of the hidden demon lineage is in the dark, so I want you, Lord Hou, to help me insert these people into the Beiyan court, any position is fine, Not particularly important position. "

Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Xiang Wu's face sank, and he said coldly, "You want to rebel?"

Chu Xiu's expression remained unchanged and he said, "I can't bring about Beiyan's rebellion.

Above the Beiyan royal family sits in town, and below there are so many strong men from the imperial court and military. If I want to overthrow Beiyan, is this enough?

Like I said, it's just in case.

Lord Hou, don't forget that no matter what time it takes, your own strength is fundamental. "

After finishing speaking, Chu Xiu stood up directly and said: "Master Hou, after I say these things today, I will not admit it again. I will give you a period of time to think about it. If you think about it, send someone to Zhenwu Hall to inform I can do it."

After finishing speaking, Chu Xiu left directly, leaving behind Xiang Wu and Yin Luohua with contemplative expressions.

After Chu Xiu walked out of the barracks, Lu Jianghe suddenly said: "Boy, do you think that guy will agree to your terms? Don't forget, that guy is also surnamed Xiang.

Why did those righteous families in the past go so hard to hunt down my Holy Cult and some sects related to my Holy Cult? It's just that we are afraid that we will break our ties with each other, and we will do something again.

Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said: "It's true that his surname is Xiang, but his surname is not that of Xiang Long's. He said he came from a remote royal family, but in fact Xiang Wu doesn't have much sense of belonging to Bei Yan.

We have choices, but Xiang Wu has no choice.

He chose to turn a blind eye and continue to live like this. When Xiang Long suddenly had an accident, he was the most passive person who was not prepared at all.

If he chose this time to get close to some princes and the like, that would be impossible.

Neither Yin Luohua nor Xiang Wu are idiots, unable to do such a thing.

Xiang Long hadn't died yet, so he couldn't wait to find his next home, which was a big taboo.

So cooperating with me is the best choice for Xiang Wu! "
