Chapter 273: Confrontation with the Chu Family (3)
Next, Zhao Xi briefly told Murong Xiu about the current situation in Liaodong County. Because of the appearance of the demon clan, Langya temporarily made a truce with the Chu family and the Eternal Life Palace, but according to his estimates, this time would not last too long, and he learned from the mouths of some of his subordinates that the upper echelons of Langya were putting pressure on the Han Dynasty.
He also said that on the surface, they seemed to be safe with each other, but in fact, the Chu family and the Eternal Life Hall were also gearing up, which led to the hoarding of people and horses in all the cities and counties of Liaodong County, just like what Murong Xiu and others saw before, the inspection teams belonged to Langya, the Chu family and the Eternal Life Hall respectively.
Unexpectedly, Liaodong County had become like this, Murong Xiu nodded again and again, and asked again, "What about the Phantom Sound Workshop and the Qingmen and those third-rate sects?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Xi smiled mysteriously, "Brother Murong doesn't know, the little girl of the Phantom Sound Workshop has long been our Langya person, and now she is the hall master of our Liaodong Hall, even the Han Dynasty has to snort on it, this little is not simple!"
After listening to his words, those Langya patrolled lewdly and laughed, and the meaning could not be more obvious.
Speaking of which, Murong Xiu had a relationship with Yan Ruyu, the owner of the Phantom Sound Workshop, and he did have some appearance, but he didn't expect it to be so deeply hidden.
After drinking another glass of wine, Zhao Xi continued to add, "Most of the third-rate forces such as Qingmen are controlled by the Phantom Sound Workshop, and they have all submitted to us now, otherwise with our own strength Langya, how can we still not fall behind under the joint efforts of the Chu family and Changmu Palace." ”
So it turned out, Murong Xiu finally understood, and thought that Langya was hiding deeper, although he couldn't do anything with the Chu family and the Immortal Palace in a short period of time, but in the long run, with Langya's financial resources, it would inevitably make both the Chu family and the Immortal Palace defeated.
In the tavern, Murong Xiu had already roughly understood the current situation in Liaodong County, and the most surprising thing for him was the marriage between the Chu family and the Immortal Palace. Chu Tianyi was actually willing to marry his beloved sister Chu Xinyue to the Palace of Eternal Life, saying that the Palace of Eternal Life did not pay a big price, he didn't believe it.
But whether it's Langya, the Chu family and the Eternal Life Palace, these have nothing to do with him, no matter who wins in the future, it's not a problem for him to consider, if he can, he is willing to help Langya, the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend.
He may not be able to come to the Chu family smoothly this time, and the Fifth Feiliu still has a blood feud with the hall master of the Hall of Eternal Life. It was precisely because of this realization that he accosted Zhao Xi, and maybe they could 'help' each other when the time came.
Thinking of this, he touched his wine glass with Zhao Xi again, and the latter asked intentionally or unintentionally, "I don't know why you came to Xiangping, Brother Murong?"
Looking up, Murong Xiu obviously saw an unknown color flashing in Zhao Xi's eyes, and said disapprovingly, "Don't hide it from Brother Zhao and the brothers, the Chu family owes me something to my brother, and I just happened to pass by and wanted to get it back." ”
Hearing this, everyone in Langya squirted out the wine in their mouths. Thinking that the Chu family's great cause will owe you something, his tone is inevitably a little bigger.
Zhao Xi was also choked, and casually slapped the subordinates beside him, and scolded, "Fuck off, what is the identity of Brother Murong, disciple of the Sword Saint, no matter how crazy his Chu family is, he will not dare to make a mistake in front of the predecessor of the Sword Saint." ”
After scolding, he looked at Murong Xiu meaningfully, and said with a playful expression, "If you have any difficulties, Brother Murong can come to me." ”
Murong Xiu understood what he meant, and immediately raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "That's natural, Brother Zhao will have to take care of the Chu family more in the future, and he won't be able to ......."
In the end, the two exchanged wine glasses and touched each other, everyone is a smart person, and some things don't need to be said so clearly.
The two of them had another drink, did not talk about those sensitive topics again, and then dispersed. Murong Xiu found Murong Bai and the others in the agreed inn, and gave a general explanation of the situation in Liaodong County, so that everyone could be a little prepared.
Zhao Xi, who returned to the branch hall, did not look drunk at all, and went to find Yan Ruyu as soon as possible, and he didn't know what he said.
At the same time, the Chu family also got the news that Murong Xiu and others had entered the city as soon as possible.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Chu Tianyi, the head of the Chu family, frowned, and confirmed to his subordinates, "Have you seen that they have contacted Langya?"
The subordinate bowed his head and replied with certainty, "Go home, the subordinates can see it clearly, and the one who eats wine with him is Zhao Xi, the deputy hall master of the Liaodong branch of Langya. ”
This person, Chu Tianyi, naturally knew that this matter was very important, and that subordinate would never joke about this kind of thing, but he thought about it for a long time and didn't understand how the disciples of the Qi Sect could get together with Langya's people.
After the man retreated, Chu Xinyue happened to walk in, her face was not very good, she looked very tired, and when she saw her brother's worried face, she asked, "Brother, is something wrong?"
Chu Tianyi, who was in the seat, sighed, got up and came to the front to help his sister comb the hair in front of his forehead, "Murong Xiu and the people from the Qi Sect came to Xiangping, it is very likely that they came to our Chu family, and they ......"
Chu Xinyue, who heard this name, suddenly came to her senses, she didn't understand what her brother meant, and subconsciously asked, "Where is he?"
However, she saw her brother shaking her head meaningfully, and her eyes dimmed again, and she murmured, "I thought, I thought it was ......."
As she spoke, she choked up in a low voice and cried very sadly. She thought that Murong Xiu was here for her and Mu Zixun's wedding, and that Murong Xiu had affection for her and wanted to take her out of here.
However, how did the Chu family treat Murong Xiu before, I am afraid that it has already reached the point of life and death, and everything she expected has become extravagant hopes, which will never happen. The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and the more she thought about it, the more sad she became. Originally, they could at least be friends, but since the return of the Broken Soul Abyss, all their hopes have been shattered.
She looked at her brother with no master, the whole person was so decadent, the matter had come to this, she shouldn't have any extravagant hopes, turned around and said, "Brother, if he came for the 'Wuji Heart Sutra', give it to him, I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore." ”
Chu Tianyi could see his sister's intentions, and he didn't want to be like this, no matter how he said that he was such a relative, but for the sake of the Chu family, he had to win over the Immortal Palace by marriage. Now that Murong Xiu has a relationship with Langya again, how can it be so easy to take the 'Wuji Heart Sutra' from his hands.
"He's already met with Langya's people!"
Chu Xinyue, who was about to walk out of the main hall, stagnated, and Chu Tianyi, who was behind, obviously saw her shoulders trembling, and walked out of the door without saying anything.
Chu Tianyi clenched his fists tightly, full of hatred, "Murong Xiu!"
At nightfall, Murong Xiu took Yan Ruyu and the Fifth Feiliu out of the city late at night, went straight to the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, and rushed back to the inn before dawn. He went here so that Mao Xiaobai could get together with the strange beasts under the Broken Soul Abyss, and secondly, in case something happened, he could also use the power of the strange beasts, so as to ensure that the trip was foolproof and everyone's safety was guaranteed.
In the early morning of the next day, the four of them came directly to the gate of the Chu family, no matter what Chu Tianyi did to Murong Xiu before, they didn't break in, they just asked the guards to go and report it.
While waiting for the news, Yan Ruyu whispered to everyone, "It seems that the plan to repair has succeeded, and I don't know how many pairs of Langya's eyes are staring at here right now." ”
