Chapter 283: Cause and Effect
PS: Thank you for the reward of 10,000 starting coins from dadsasdas
Mr. Lu has completely regarded Chu Xiu as his own person, so he can be said to know everything about Chu Xiu, and directly told Chu Xiu the causes and consequences of the matter.
Lu Haochang, the Kaiyuan Emperor of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, is not the most famous emperor of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, nor is he the most capable emperor, but he is the emperor with the most rough background.
The previous generation of Eastern Qi emperors died unexpectedly early, leaving no heirs, which led to civil strife in the Eastern Qi royal family, which can be said to be a river of blood, and finally even involved some forces of the Eastern Qi court, which also led to some great losses in the strength of Eastern Qi.
In the end, it was an ancestor from the Eastern Qi royal family who had been in seclusion for many years to personally intervene, which completely calmed things down, and the result was that Lu Haochang, who had low cultivation talent and relatively mediocre ability, was selected as the emperor among the many descendant royal families.
And the first thing Lu Haochang, who had just succeeded to the throne, did was to give birth to a son, desperately giving birth to a son.
The lessons of the previous generation of emperors are in front of them, and they have no heirs, which leads to the instability of the throne, which can be said to be harmful to others and themselves.
As a result, Lu Haochang has not done anything for so many years, and his biggest achievement is to give birth to more than 30 sons, and he himself has now easily lived to the age of eighty, but he has no intention of abdicating.
Lu Haochang's ability is mediocre, but his sons are not very mediocre, especially the first ones.
At present, the root cause of Qiu Zhensheng's case originates from the struggle between the prince of Eastern Qi and the second prince.
Lu Haochang's reign was a little too long, although he set up the crown prince early, but it also gave other princes some opportunities in disguise, especially Lu Longguang, the second prince of Eastern Qi, whose ambition and ability were not under the prince, and he already had the intention of replacing him.
Because of the strong attitude of the second prince, it also led to the prince's sense of crisis, and he was constantly looking for allies in Dongqi.
Jiang Wenyuan is one of the prince's allies, and the other is a hall master of the White Tiger Hall, but the hall master was accidentally killed not long after he promised the prince, which also made the prince change his target in a hurry and set his sights on Qiu Zhensheng, the owner of Pegasus Ranch.
A month ago, Qiu Zhensheng went to Julong Pavilion, and the person who invited him was the prince's person, and he wanted to win Qiu Zhensheng to join the prince's side, but he was rejected by Qiu Zhensheng.
Later, the prince had secretly investigated Qiu Zhensheng, but unexpectedly learned that Qiu Zhensheng had secretly contacted the second prince before.
In all fairness, Pegasus Ranch is important to Dongqi, but Qiu Zhensheng himself is not so important.
Because Qiu Zhensheng is only a martial artist in the realm of the unity of heaven and man after all, the martial artist of this realm is a great master in the rivers and lakes, and everyone admires him, but in the entire Eastern Qi court, he can only be said to be the backbone.
For example, Wang Jin, the deputy governor, and Fang Zhenqi, a general, are both in the realm of the unity of heaven and man, and this realm is not uncommon in the Eastern Qi court.
So even if he knew that Qiu Zhensheng had taken refuge in the second prince, in fact, the prince did not have murderous intentions towards Qiu Zhensheng, Jiang Wenyuan sent Mr. Lu to kill Qiu Zhensheng, completely to muddy the waters, not to let the second prince's strength exceed the crown prince too much, so that the Eastern Qi royal family began to kill each other.
After listening to this, Chu Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that this matter really had something to do with him.
The butterfly effect is very terrifying, if the hall master of the White Tiger Hall did not die, I am afraid that the prince would not have the intention of recruiting Qiu Zhensheng, and naturally he would not have caused this series of things.
Speaking of which, Qiu Zhensheng was still killed by him, which can be regarded as a creation and a trick.
But at this time, Chu Xiu suddenly remembered something, and he asked, "By the way, when the senior was fighting with Qiu Zhensheng, did he feel that something was wrong with the other party?"
I conducted an autopsy in the Guanzhong Torture Hall afterwards and found that Qiu Zhensheng had been poisoned by the July Begonia before. ”
Mr. Lu said with a smile: "Of course I found out, although Qiu Zhensheng is from a reckless background, he is not an unknown person, I thought that killing him would waste some effort, but I didn't expect it to be so simple."
I thought it was Jiang Wenyuan who was secretly making a move, but I later learned that it was not Jiang Wenyuan's means. ”
Chu Xiu nodded, this matter is really as Cheng Zhouhai calculated, the poisoner and the murderer are not the same person, it seems that there are still some hidden secrets in this.
Mr. Lu asked: "I killed the person, and now Jiang Wenyuan wants to kill you, what are you going to do here?"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Senior, rest assured, this matter will not implicate the Phaseless Demon Sect, in fact, this matter does not have anything to do with the Phaseless Demon Sect."
In fact, if Jiang Wenyuan didn't kill me this time, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to him, where did Jiang Wenyuan find out, and it involved the struggle between the prince and the second prince, so I don't have to pay attention to it.
But this time Jiang Wenyuan wants to kill me, if I just let him go, he will want to kill me a second time!"
In the land of Eastern Qi, Jiang Wenyuan is an extremely special existence, although he is still constantly dying, but it is undeniable that the power that Jiang Wenyuan can use is not ordinary.
Right now, he is cooperating with the Phaseless Demon Sect, and he can drive the Phaseless Demon Sect to help him, but in fact, there are also great masters in the realm of the unity of heaven and man under Jiang Wenyuan, and there is more than one.
Mr. Lu said: "Since you have an idea, you can do it, if you are also a member of the Holy Sect and need my help, you can contact me at any time, you don't have to be polite."
And if you reveal your identity in the Guanzhong Torture Hall, don't be afraid, you can come to my Phaseless Demon Sect.
Although the Holy Sect has been shattered, the people of the Holy Sect are still there, and they will not leave you without a place to stay. ”
Chu Xiu arched his hand and said, "Thank you seniors." ”
Mr. Lu shook his head and said, "You're welcome, right now my Holy Sect has withered to this point, don't say that you are originally my Holy Sect descendant, even if you want to join my Phaseless Demon Sect halfway, my Phaseless Demon Sect will treat it like this." ”
Saying that, Mr. Lu nodded twice at the place behind Chu Xiu, with a hint of mystery in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "There is a little mouse behind us, and the hidden kung fu is not bad, and even I was deceived, you can watch it." ”
After finishing speaking, Mr. Lu left directly, Chu Xiu's eyes showed a different color, his body moved, and the inner binding seal burst out, the speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, he had already come to an alley behind him, and what appeared in front of him was Chu Xiaode, who had a panicked look on his face, ready to flee at any time!
At this time, Chu Xiaode can be said to regret it extremely, regretting why he had to be curious to come up and watch.
Chu Xiu was wandering around Jeju Mansion before, in fact, Chu Xiaode was the same, but he didn't deliberately follow Chu Xiu, but accidentally saw Chu Xiu's back.
At that time, Chu Xiaode just wanted to say hello to Chu Xiu, but when he saw Chu Xiu and a black shadow leaving quickly, Chu Xiaode was puzzled, so he followed directly.
He is the son of Chu Simo, but in fact, he has not practiced many exercises in the Western Regions, and only one exercise he obtained by accident can increase his speed and conceal the breath of the Western Regions.
It was with this technique that he was able to overhear so many things not far from Mr. Lu and Chu Xiu.
It's just that the things Chu Simo heard are really a little too terrifying, and the truth of Qiu Zhensheng's death is just a royal fight, after all, he has been in the Guanzhong Torture Hall for so many years, and he has seen all the bizarre cases.
But the next conversation between Chu Xiu and the black-robed man about the Kunlun Demon Sect almost startled Chu Xiaode.
He never expected that Chu Xiu would have something to do with the Kunlun Demon Sect! This was a major matter that would cost human lives!
It was precisely because he was shocked by this news that Chu Xiaode's mood fluctuated slightly, causing a flaw in his concealment to be discovered by Mr. Lu.
Chu Xiu looked at Chu Xiaode and said expressionlessly: "If I say that I actually have nothing to do with the Kunlun Demon Sect, I just lied to that person, do you believe it or not?"
Chu Xiaode showed a smile that was more ugly than crying at Chu Xiu, and said, "I believe it, do you believe it?"
Chu Xiaode said it was like a tongue twister, but in fact, when it came to this kind of thing, even if he said that he believed it, how could Chu Xiu believe it?
Chu Xiu glanced around and said lightly: "There are no martial artists here who will come, you know my strength, are you sure that you can escape in my hands?"
Chu Xiaode's heart sank, not to mention Chu Xiu, who had now reached the Sanhua Gathering Peak Realm, even Chu Xiu, who was in the Waigang Realm when he was competing in the Guanzhong Torture Hall, was an existence that he could only look up to.
That Li Tianhao easily defeated him and humiliated him, but Chu Xiu easily abolished Li Tianhao, and this gap in strength is needless to say.
Just when Chu Xiaode wanted to fight to the death, Chu Xiu suddenly said, "Do you want to die or live?"
Chu Xiaode's eyes froze, and he subconsciously said, "Of course I want to live." ”
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Since you want to live, then I will give you a chance to live."
It doesn't matter if I'm a member of the Kunlun Demon Sect or not, since you've seen all this, then I can't let you go so easily.
In the past, the Kunlun Demon Sect had a secret seal called the Holy Fire Seal, and its shape was depicted based on the rootless holy flame at the top of the current Western Kunlun.
I know what this mark looks like, let me leave a holy fire mark on your arm, so that you and I will both become members of the Kunlun Demon Sect, and each will have a handle in each other's hands, so naturally I don't need to kill you. ”
Chu Xiaode's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said angrily: "If you do this, won't I become your Chu Xiu's slave, with a handle in your hands, and I want you to be driven by it, so you might as well kill me!"
In Chu Xiaode's opinion, Chu Xiu was originally a member of the Kunlun Demon Sect, and even if he was discovered, he could also join the Phaseless Demon Sect and change from a young man in the Guanzhong Torture Hall to a demon Dao handsome.
And he, Chu Xiaode, was purely wronged, and he had been pinching the handle in Chu Xiu's hands all his life, letting the other party handle it, which in Chu Xiaode's opinion was simply worse than death!
