Chapter 800: Xiang Wu's Choice
PS: Thank you for the book friends who can't do without the cat and the egg of 810,000 starting coins
Xiang Wu General Chu Xiu welcomed the barracks, pointed at the trained soldiers in the barracks with a proud face, and said: "Lord Chu, my Xiling Army has the shortest history among the five armies of Beiyan Town, and it has developed into such a form after more than ten years in my hands, what do you think?"
"The soldiers 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 the Xiling Army under Xiang Wu is really not weak.
Although the Jianghu people and the military warriors both practice martial arts, the number of paths on both sides is completely different, especially in the early stage.
Most of the martial arts practiced by the Jianghu people in the early stage were used for one-on-one combat, so the development was relatively comprehensive, what melee combat, weapons and hidden weapons, and body speed or something, you are not required to be proficient in all of them, but at least you have to know some.
But the warriors from the military are different.
The military doesn't have time to wait for you to develop in an all-round way, so there are only two things that martial artists from the military can cultivate, one is to boil the muscles and bones, temper the body, and the other is to cultivate those single, but extremely powerful killing techniques.
There are 10,000 people fighting on the battlefield, and it is useless to learn those messy martial arts, as long as there is a killing skill, it is enough.
At present, the warriors of the Xiling Army under Xiang Long are gathered together, their blood is surging, and their killing intent is soaring, and it can be said that they are all elite.
After bringing Chu Xiu into the camp tent, there was also a middle-aged warrior with a white face who looked like a Confucian student.
Chu Xiu said softly: "I have a secret matter to discuss with you, Master Hou. ”
Xiang Wuyi waved his hand and said: "If there is anything Lord Chu, you can say it directly, this is Yin Luohua, my henchman, no matter how big the secret is, there is no need to hide it from him."
Speaking of which, Lao Yin and Lord Chu you still know each other, in the past, Lord Chu, when you were just famous in the land of Yandong, Lao Yin was stationed there and served as a general. ”
Yin Luohua smiled at Chu Xiu and said, "For Lord Chu, I have been friends for a long time.
At the beginning, I felt that Lord Chu was extraordinary, but now it seems that my vision of seeing people is really not weak. ”
"Lord Yin is polite. ”
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows lightly and said to Yin Luohua.
What he was about to say was too sensitive, and he didn't want anyone else to hear it.
It's just that since Xiang Wudu let Yin Luohua stay here, I, Chu Xiu, can't drive people away.
So Chu Xiu said directly to Xiang Wu: "Master Hou, what I want to tell you today, but there are some big rebellions, and if they get into the ears of the two of you, they can't speak."
Of course, even if you two leak the news, I won't admit it. ”
Hearing what Chu Xiu said so formally and seriously, Xiang Wu and Yin Luohua's expressions changed slightly.
What does this Chu Xiu want to do?
Looking at the two of them, Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, Your Majesty forced my Zhenwutang to be the vanguard and go to the Far North to garrison troops, you should know what the result of this behavior will be, this is simply provoking the Great Light Temple." ”
Xiang Wu and Yin Luohua glanced at each other, they were not idiots, and naturally they could hear that something was wrong.
Xiang Wu pinched his chin and said, "Lord Chu, have you offended Your Majesty?" Don't worry, when I have the opportunity, I will help you intercede for Your Majesty." ”
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Of course not, Master Hou, haven't you seen Your Majesty for a long time?"
Xiang Wu frowned and said, "Yes, it's been a few months, what's wrong, what's wrong with Your Majesty?"
In fact, when it comes to identity, Xiang Wu should be the person most worthy of Xiang Long's trust, after all, he is from the Northern Yan royal family.
Of course, the reality is the same, big and small things, Xiang Long also likes to tell Xiang Wu to do the most.
But in fact, Xiang Wu also knew that this kind of trust had to pay a price, and that price was his connections in the Northern Yan Imperial Court, which was actually not very high.
In the eyes of other masters of the Northern Yan military, they are a kind of person, and Xiang Wu, who was born in the Northern Yan royal family, is another kind of person, and he must represent the interests of the Northern Yan royal family.
However, in fact, only Xiang Wu himself knew that he was actually being rejected by the Northern Yan Imperial Family.
Although he is considered a member of the Beiyan royal family, his background is already a collateral lineage, and his bloodline with the Beiyan royal family has been thinned to a certain extent, and the two sides actually have no feelings.
So Xiang Long summoned him back and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, only what he valued was his identity and his ability on the surface, to put it bluntly, Xiang Long just wanted to use Xiang Wu to divide the forces of the Northern Yan military, don't let them be monolithic, and their role is the same as that of the Five Evil Daoists and Chu Xiu.
Xiang Wu was considered by the military to be a member of the Northern Yan Imperial Family, but the Northern Yan Imperial Family also did not consider him to be their own person, so Xiang Wu could only rely on Xiang Long.
Don't look at Xiang Wu is very unreliable most of the time, in fact, he is very clear about these things.
If you change to someone else, maybe you have to talk to Xiang Long to make your position more stable, but with Xiang Wu's character, he is not a person who can make sycophants at all.
Xiang Wu knew his position, as long as his strength was always at its peak, that Xiang Long would always reuse him, even more than others.
On the contrary, if he doesn't have the strength, then no matter how ruthless he is to Xiang Long, it will be useless.
In general, the relationship between him and Xiang Long is actually a transaction, since it is a transaction, it is pure, and there is no need to mess with those messy things, he naturally will not rub Xiang Long's side on weekdays.
"Your Majesty is afraid that this time I really won't be able to last long, the last time I went to see Your Majesty, he was already dead.
That's why Your Majesty is so anxious for me to solve the Great Light Temple, I think he is ready to solve all the uncertain factors within Beiyan first, leaving the next generation a stable Beiyan. ”
Hearing Chu Xiu say this, Xiang Wu was also a little emotionally complicated.
Since Xiang Long already had signs that his longevity was about to end, he only needed to go to the palace once, and he would immediately know the truth, so he didn't suspect that Chu Xiu would lie and deceive him.
He has no feelings for Xiang Long, and the two sides are just a transaction.
It's just that it is not so easy to find a monarch like Xiang Long who understands him so well and the two sides cooperate very tacitly.
"So, what do you want to say?" Xiang Wu said as he stared at Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said, "What I want to say is very simple, once a son of heaven and a courtier, Lord Hou, you should think about the future."
Your Majesty is a generation of male lords, when he is there, Beiyan can't be in chaos, and after he is not there, Beiyan will be in chaos!
So at this time, the position is important.
But Master Hou, your current position is to stand here with Your Majesty, and when Your Majesty leaves, where are you going to stand?
It seems that you, Lord Hou, 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 on the side also glanced at Chu Xiu with a strange gaze.
This person really dares to say that discussing when Xiang Long, the emperor of Northern Yan, will die in Yanjing City, this issue is really sensitive.
In fact, Yin Luohua also told Xiang Wu about this problem, asking him to manage his own forces more, not only limited to the Xiling Army.
When His Majesty is still there, Xiang Wu can do whatever he wants, but once Xiang Long is gone, the new emperor may not tolerate Xiang Wu, nor will he understand the value of Xiang Wu's existence.
Xiang Wu squinted his eyes and said, "Then what do you mean? Do you mean, let me stand on your side?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Master Hou, don't be joking, even if I change my surname, I won't be the Emperor of Northern Yan."
I just want to join forces with you for the time being, just in case.
The power of Zhenwutang is on the bright side, and there is still a part of the power of the hidden demon vein in the dark, so I want to ask Master Hou for your help and help me place these people in the Beiyan Imperial Court, any position, not a particularly important position. ”
As soon as he heard Chu Xiu's words, Xiang Wu's face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "You want to rebel?"
Chu Xiu's face remained unchanged and said, "I can't make Beiyan's rebellion."
There are the Northern Yan royal family in charge, and there are so many strong people in the imperial court and military, if I want to subvert the Northern Yan, is this enough?
I said it, just in case.
Master Hou, don't forget, no matter when, your own strength is the fundamental. ”
After finishing speaking, Chu Xiu stood up directly and said, "Master Hou, after I say these things today, I won't admit it again, I'll give you a period of time to think about it, if you think about it, just send someone to Zhenwutang to inform me." ”
After finishing speaking, Chu Xiu left directly, leaving Xiang Wu and Yin Luohua with a contemplative expression.
After Chu Xiu walked out of the barracks, Lu Jianghe suddenly said, "Boy, do you think that guy will agree to your conditions? Don't forget, that guy is also a surname."
Why did those great families of the righteous path in the past go to such great lengths to hunt down our Holy Sect and some sects that had something to do with our Holy Sect? It was because they were afraid that we would break the ties with each other and do something again.
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said: "It's true that he has a surname, but his surname is not Xiang Long's, he is said to be from a remote royal family, but in fact, Xiang Wu doesn't have much sense of belonging to Beiyan."
We have a choice, but Xiang Wu has no choice.
He chose to turn a blind eye and continue to live like this, so when Xiang Long suddenly had an accident, the most passive person was him who was not prepared at all.
If he chose this time to get close to some princes and the like, it would be impossible.
Whether it is Yin Luohua or Xiang Wu, they are not idiots and can't do this kind of thing.
Xiang Long is not dead yet, he can't wait to find the next family, this is a big taboo.
So cooperating with me is Xiang Wu's best choice!"
