Back in Daliang City, Lu Longguang asked Chu Xiu, "Is the prince really a strange move?"

Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Eunuch Li and others have also seen the news. Your Highness asked Eunuch Li directly."

Eunuch Li bowed to Lu Longguang with a somewhat ugly expression and said, "Your Highness, it's an old slave who has dereliction of duty. The prince has indeed made great moves recently.

Since the last time the prince was punished by His Majesty to reflect at home, the prince seemed very honest and low-key on the surface, but in fact, the prince sent someone to secretly contact a group of grassroots forces in the southwest, including the five families, eight eleven sects and twenty-three villages, wanting to include them all under his command.

Once successful, the prince will completely control the southwest, and even control most of the trade routes between the entire Western Chu and I East Qi!"

The southwest land mentioned by Eunuch Li is an area near the west of the East Qi and close to 100,000 mountains. Although its area is large, it is vast and sparsely populated, and it looks desolate and barbaric. There are no counties and counties, but it is collectively called the southwest land, and there are only a few prefectures in it.

Originally, this place could not be regarded by anyone, but in recent hundreds of years, it has become an important commercial road between Western Chu and Dongqi. Although there are many barren mountains and dense forests and difficult roads, the distance is very close, so there are many business trips.

After this place gradually became popular with some business travelers, a force naturally formed, which was what Eunuch Li mentioned as the five schools, eight schools, eleven schools and twenty-three villages.

Although these forces are nearly fifty, they are not very strong, after all, the oldest one among them is only a hundred years.

But regardless of whether these forces are strong or not, once they join the prince's command, it will be a huge improvement for the prince's power.

And because the prince has already controlled a powerful trade route, his own profits will also grow wildly, which is definitely not a good thing for Lu Longguang.

Lu Longguang sneered: "It's not counting colluding with Jiang Wenyuan before. Now, my elder brother dares to collude with these martial arts forces in the southwest. He really doesn't know how to live or die. I will go to my father's place to sue him, so he can't bear it and leave!"

At this time, Chu Xiu said lightly: "Your Highness, let's calm down first. It's useless if you go. Maybe you will be scolded by Your Majesty."

Lu Longguang frowned and said, "Why?"

Chu Xiu said: "This time the behavior of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is different from last time.

Jiang Wenyuan has a special identity, and it is a taboo for the prince to cooperate with him. Now the prince recruits these wild beasts in the world, which has a very different meaning.

Although there is an opposition between the world and the court, there is no possibility of cooperation. Your Highness should not forget the battle between Beiyan and Dongqi in the past.

The Beiyan victory was achieved because the Northern Yan royal family joined forces with the Beiyan martial arts forces to do this.

Now Your Majesty has realized his previous mistake and has begun to take the initiative to join forces with the martial arts forces of Dongqi. Even the White Tiger Hall has been incorporated into Dongqi. You should know this.

So now the prince's behavior is no longer a big deal in His Majesty's opinion, and he even praises the prince for his ability to adapt.

And if you use this matter to complain at this time, you may be the one who will be scolded, because you have not understood what Your Majesty meant.”

Lu Longguang was not a stupid person. He understood after Chu Xiu explained this. Lu Longguang was so angry that he crushed a teacup and said coldly: "This plan is definitely not something that I, the useless brother, can come up with. There must be someone around him who will give him advice!"

Chu Xiu said lightly: "Don't worry if anyone gives advice to the prince, as long as the matter is done, the prince's power will surely rise."

Lu Longguang waved his hand and solidified Chu Xiu, saying in a deep voice: "I can give you any kind of power you want, there is only one premise, that is, completely ruin the matter of the prince!"

Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course it is the elite force. Lord Fang's Dragon Cavalry and Eunuch Li's subordinates should also have a group of talents. Let me lend them all, and I promise to give you a satisfactory result."

This time, Lu Longguang did not hesitate. He waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Okay, from today on, the power of Fang Zhenqi and Eunuch Li's subordinates, including them, will follow your instructions!"

After walking out of the palace, Eunuch Li asked Chu Xiu, "Mr. Chu, what should I do now?"

When it comes to Feng Manlou's affairs, Eunuch Li made a mistake, and his attitude towards Chu Xiu was much lowered at this time.

Fang Zhenqi on the side did not speak, and the Dragon Cavalry and the Imperial Army enforced the order. Since His Highness said everything and asked him to listen to Chu Xiu, then naturally, Chu Xiu would do whatever he asked him to do. As long as Chu Xiu did not threaten His Highness's interests, he would never have any objection.

Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Five corpses, eight corpses, eleven corpses and twenty-three villages. To put it bluntly, these forces are just a group of mobs and native chickens and tiles.

If the power under His Highness takes all his strength, it will not be difficult to strangle them.

But if you do that, it is because it is too much of a movement and is easily noticed by the prince, and the other hand, it will have some impact on Your Highness's reputation."

Eunuch Li frowned and said, "You have also said that those dozens of forces do not have top sects, they are just mobs. What impact can they have on Your Highness's reputation?

Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't forget your highness's identity. It is a very sensitive matter for the court to slaughter the Jianghu Sect. Unless your highness does not want to cooperate with the Jianghu Sect in the future, it would be better to be cautious about this matter."

Eunuch Li was born in the imperial palace, and the eunuchs trained in Dongqi were trained in batches. The main teaching was how to serve their masters, and the second was martial arts.

As for ability or something, no one teaches that thing, it depends entirely on your own understanding.

So although Eunuch Li is much older than Chu Xiu and has been with Lu Longguang for so many years, he is really not as good as Chu Xiu in terms of overall situation.

Hearing that Chu Xiu was considering more than him, Eunuch Li simply stopped talking. He said directly: "Since you have considered these Lord Chu, let's talk about your plan. Our family and Lord Fang will assist Lord Chu on the side."

Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, the five sects, eight sects, twenty-three villages, dozens of forces cannot be the same. Sometimes it is easier to defeat the enemy from the inside than from the outside.

Feng Manlou gave us a lot of information, and there are even general information from these dozens of forces. I will first choose a few targets and then slowly make arrangements. There is still time."

Chu Xiu's expression was a little sinister at this time, and Eunuch Li, who had always been known for his feminine temperament, felt a little cold in his heart.

When it comes to murder, Eunuch Li, who is Lu Longguang's personal eunuch, may not be less killed than Chu Xiu.

But if it comes to those who died indirectly at Chu Xiu's hands, Eunuch Li is not as good as Chu Xiu's.

Three days later, in Cuiyu Pavilion, one of the largest brothels in Daliang City, Chu Xiu, Fang Zhenqi and Eunuch Li sat in a private room to drink, but didn't want a single girl.

Fang Zhenqi is fine, but Eunuch Li is uncomfortable sitting here.

Why did he, a eunuch, come to such a place? If His Highness hadn't told him to listen to Chu Xiu, Eunuch Li would have thought Chu Xiu was humiliating him.

Just when Eunuch Li felt extremely awkward and wanted to ask Chu Xiu what he was doing here, Chu Xiu knocked on the table and made a gesture of silence.

With his eyes slightly closed, a powerful spirit bloomed around Chu Xiu, like silk threads, scattering everywhere. This moment immediately shocked Fang Zhenqi and Eunuch Li.

What a terrifying mental power!

Fang Zhenqi and Eunuch Li are both masters of the realm of unity between man and nature, but even they can feel that Chu Xiu's mental power is so powerful that it makes people tremble. It is estimated that even if the Xiahou people come, their mental power is not as good as Chu Xiu in the same level!

In fact, although Chu Xiu's mental power was strong before, he was not as strong as this level.

But after killing Zhang Chufan and obtaining the orthodox inheritance of the Demon Heart Hall "The Great Method of the Heart Demon Rotation" and "The Nine Soul-Surfaced Styles", Chu Xiu's mental power can be said to have soared to a level.

The martial arts of the Demon Heart Hall can be said to be evil and magical. The great method of the inner demon cycle is a method to specialize in spiritual power, while the nine soul-catching stances are the existence that combines mental power, martial arts and even martial arts from the Buddhist and Taoist lineage, which is even more magical.

If Chu Xiu fights Xiahou Wujiang again, even if he only uses his mental power, he can completely crush Xiahou Wujiang.

At this time, Chu Xiu's mental power also underwent all strange changes. His mental power actually extended like a plate of silk threads, covering the sky and overwhelmingly to other parts of the Cuiyu Pavilion, like a spider silk, light but tough. No one except the master of martial arts or the master of spiritual secrets, could not discover this change. At this time, there was naturally no such person in the Cuiyu Pavilion.

This move is the silk-pulling soul net among the nine major soul-catching stances. According to the inheritance of the martial arts, after practicing to the point of great success, it will be used with all its strength. People within a radius of hundreds of feet are shrouded by this soul net. Each silk thread can wrap around the spiritual soul of a warrior, sucking the soul and snatching the soul, and instantly taking human life.

Of course, Chu Xiu is still far from this level now. At present, this technique is only used by Chu Xiu for eavesdropping.

All the sounds in the entire Cuiyu Pavilion were transmitted to Chu Xiu through the Si Si Soul Network and reflected into Chu Xiu's mind. Chu Xiu divided two spiritual powers and sent to Fang Zhenqi and Eunuch Li.
