Chapter 660 Beiyan Emperor
Extraordinary people have their own extraordinary features. Xiang Chong, the thirteenth prince, will shine in the battle for the throne in Northern Yan in the future. At this time, Xiang Chong seemed much more mature and sophisticated than Xiang Chong in the past.
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Your Highness the King of Yan is grateful for your kindness, but since my identity has been exposed, Your Highness should know that I cannot surrender to others. Besides, even if I really surrender to Your Highness, Your Highness, do you really dare to use me?"
Xiang Chong laughed dryly, Chu Xiu was right. Even if Chu Xiu really defected to him, Xiang Chong would not dare to use Chu Xiu with confidence.
The devil’s way is always the devil’s way. Who dares to rely on a person in the devil’s way as his confidant?
Xiang Chong coughed and said, "I don't know why Brother Chu came to see me this time?"
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "I want His Highness, King Yan, to help introduce him, I want to see His Majesty."
"See Father?"
Xiang Chong couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
Among the many descendants of Emperor Xiang Long of Northern Yan, although Xiang Chong was not the strongest, he was the most favored one.
It was actually very simple for him to let Xiang Long meet Chu Xiu.
However, at this critical moment, Chu Xiu first came to secretly ask for the Northern Yan Emperor. The meaning of this was too sensitive, and Xiang Chong did not dare to do anything.
Chu Xiu said lightly: "Your Highness, King Yan, don't worry, this is the capital of Northern Yan, I just came alone, there are countless masters in the Great Inner Palace, are you still worried that I will be unfavorable to Your Majesty?
Besides, you don’t have to worry that I will talk nonsense. In front of His Majesty, even if I am from the Hidden Demon lineage, I will not talk nonsense.
This time, Your Highness helped me, I will write down this favor and will be returned in the future."
Chu Xiu's last sentence touched Xiang Chong.
In fact, Xiang Chong really doesn't care whether Chu Xiu is the right way or the evil way. As people in the court, although their attitudes towards the right way and the evil way are different, their core is similar, and they are vigilant and use them.
Chu Xiu is now famous. As the most outstanding warrior of the younger generation of the Hidden Demon lineage, he himself represents some of the power of the Hidden Demon lineage. If he gets a favor from him, it will never be a bad thing as long as he can use it in the future.
So Xiang Chong thought for a while and said, "Yes, but Brother Chu, my father's temper is not that good. You should pay attention to your words."
Chu Xiu nodded. Of course he knew that Xiang Long's temper would not be good.
It would be strange if a king who could lead the Northern Yan to counterattack the powerful country like Dongqi.
After Xiang Chong left, two hours later, an old eunuch took Chu Xiu from the small gate to enter the imperial city.
After all, Chu Xiu's identity is a bit special. It is still a bit inappropriate for a man in the devil to openly enter the imperial city through the gate.
Chu Xiu had seen the imperial palace in Dongqi, but of course it was just the periphery, which was very magnificent.
Compared with Dongqi, the palace in Beiyan has less luxurious decorations, but more majestic and majestic.
The entire Beiyan Palace was built with dark colors, with gray-black ground and pitch-black palaces, which made people feel a little depressed.
However, the Northern Yan was still dark, so it was normal for the imperial palace to be built to look like this.
Even among the Northern Yan royal family, even the dragon robe was black in the past, and the black dragon was admired.
Later, I heard from some alchemists that the dragons were honored by the nine-clawed golden dragon, so the Northern Yan later changed the dragon robe to golden yellow.
Chu Xiu followed the old eunuch to a side hall, where Xiang Chong was already waiting.
The lights in the side hall are dim, making the atmosphere even more depressing.
At the top sat an old man wearing a dragon robe but wearing a black dragon pattern blanket. This man was Emperor Beiyan, the Xiang Long, who had once joined forces and counterattacked the Dongqi with the power of a weak country!
If you look at your appearance alone, Xiang Long is actually very ordinary, even to the point where he is not wearing a dragon robe, he is an ordinary old man.
However, as his squinting eyes opened, a sharp sharp light bloomed like a blade.
To be fair, Xiang Long is the best among the emperors of the three powerful countries in the world.
The Western Chu royal family was in a corner, and the royal family members were also a little unemployed, some like martial arts, and some like witchcraft and other messy things.
Therefore, Western Chu has never been strong in terms of national strength. Of course, there are also reasons for the terrain of Western Chu.
Emperor Lu Haochang of the Eastern Qi Dynasty was famous for his incompetence. Apart from living a long life, he had almost nothing to be desired.
Of course, those who can be the emperor have not been pushed off the throne. Lu Haochang cannot say that he is stupid, he can only say that his ability is really poor.
The Northern Yan emperor Xiang Long is now recognized as the hero of the current generation.
Dongqi was located in the Central Plains, with a large land and abundant resources. At that time, Western Chu was a small country in the southern barbarians, and Northern Yan was a small country in the northern region. In any case, Dongqi looked at them, they were all small countries. At the most serious times, Northern Yan was almost destroyed by Dongqi.
Until Xiang Long ascended the throne, he forgot to eat and sleep in the early stage, and developed national strength in a low-key and tolerant manner and cultivated strength.
Later, he joined forces with the Northern Yan Wulin to counterattack Dongqi. Yang Gongdu was responsible for these things in the past.
As a result, the huge Dongqi was defeated by Beiyan in the battle. Even the Wei Kingdom, which was attached to Dongqi, was swallowed by Beiyan and became Wei County.
If the Northern Yan had not been too weak in the foundation and could not support the attack on Dongqi from afar, perhaps the Northern Yan had become the overlord of the Central Plains now.
At this time, Xiang Long was also looking at Chu Xiu. It was better to say that he was looking at it than watching.
Chu Xiu bowed to Xiang Long and said, "I have met Your Majesty."
He snorted lightly, Xiang Long said in a deep voice: "Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "I am not a minister of Yan State, why should I kneel down to the king of Yan State?"
Xiang Long snorted coldly: "I heard that Chu Xiu is from Yan State. Why, with some strength and background, I don't even care about my own country?"
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is probably a misunderstanding. I am just making a name for myself in Yan State, not from Yan State. To be precise, I should be from Wei County, the Wei County that was destroyed by Your Majesty.
Of course, I have long been homeless and country-free. It is said that the devil’s path is arrogant and perverse, and we are indeed like this. Apart from teaching teachers, we don’t even worship the world.”
Xiang Long sneered, "I don't even worship the world! You encouraged Xiang Chong and asked him to bring you to see me. He just wanted to use the power of the Northern Yan court to help you block this disaster, but you couldn't even kneel down and bow to me.
Why should I help you if you are an arrogant person?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "Your Majesty misunderstood. I am actually not used to asking for help from others. Any debt in this world is easy to repay, but human debt is the most difficult to repay. Moreover, what you ask for may not be stable.
What I like is cooperation, mutual benefit, and interests are in hand. No one will suffer any effort, and no one will suffer any losses."
Xiang Long laughed back with anger and said, "It's a joke! You, Chu Xiu, a junior, dare to come to talk to me about cooperation, and you are worthy of coming to talk to me about cooperation!? If you are the one who is the hidden demon lineage, Wei Shuya is almost the same!
Do you know how many official duties I have to deal with every day and how many national affairs I have to think about? You are a junior who is wasting my time. Do you know what the sin is of deceiving the king? Or do you think that you are from the Hidden Demon lineage, so I dare not kill you!?"
When the last word was heard, the momentum and murderous intent burst out from Xiang Long's body made Chu Xiu feel cold even.
Xiang Long actually has no cultivation in martial arts.
People like him who are from royal families may be able to practice when they are princes, but when they ascend to the throne, where can they still have time to practice? They can only use martial arts as something to strengthen their bodies, and then assist some elixirs and other things to prolong their lifespan.
But because I worked so hard every day, I couldn't extend my life span much. On the contrary, I was a mediocre person like Lu Haochang of Dongqi, who was worried less, but lived longer.
If it is about strength, Chu Xiu can take Xiang Long's life with a slight move of his finger.
But Xiang Long fought in the world in his life and died indirectly at his hands. These emperors were the ones who were the ones who were stained with blood and died the most.
Moreover, there are countless martial arts masters who are loyal to the Northern Yan royal family around this empty hall. If Chu Xiu dares to act rashly, he will definitely die first.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please do not get angry. Although I am a junior among the Hidden Demon lineage, I still have some weight in this speech.
Besides, I know what Your Majesty needs. This time, the people who want to get rid of me are the same kind of people as Your Majesty."
Xiang Long suddenly put away his angry look just now, as if the murderous person was not him. He just asked calmly: "What do you mean?"
Chu Xiu bowed and said, "In the past, His Majesty joined forces with the Northern Yan martial arts world to fight against Dong Qi, which is a wonderful move.
Martial arts have no national boundaries, but warrior sects have national boundaries.
Once the Dongqi destroys Beiyan, the martial arts forces of Beiyan will inevitably be suppressed by the Dongqi Wulin.
The temple and the martial arts world joined forces to finally counterattack Dongqi. This is the most impressive achievement since His Majesty ascended the throne."
Xiang Long's expression was slightly better. After all, what Chu Xiu said was the most proud thing he was.
Over the years, from the founding of the Northern Yan Kingdom to the generation before Xiang Long, Northern Yan has been suppressed by Dongqi.
It was not until his generation that Beiyan had completely turned over, counterattacked Dongqi, and even caused Dongqi to suffer a great loss.
Although Beiyan cannot be compared with Dongqi in terms of its heritage, it has been recognized by the world that Beiyan is already a great country that can compete with Dongqi.
But Chu Xiu then said, "But Your Majesty should have discovered the sequelae of that battle long ago.
The court joined forces with Jianghu Sect to fight against Dongqi, but afterwards it benefited a lot of benefits to these Wulin Sects in Beiyan.
This also led to the strong and arrogant attitude of the Wulin Sect in Beiyan, which was already a little bit disregarded to take the Northern Yan court seriously.
