PS: Thank you for the 10,000 starting coins reward from the book friend Lao Qu who is 18 years old this year

The losses in the battle between the Guanzhong Torture Hall and the Yulin Army were not small, and Chu Wuji looked at his complexion, and he also suffered some injuries.

Chu Xiu handed over a bottle of elixir and said, "Is the injury serious?"

Chu Wuji took the pill, shook his head and said, "It's not too heavy, Wei Lao should go to Wei County at this time, which is also the main location of the Eastern Qi attack."

However, three of the five armies of the Eastern Qi Zhenguo, plus the masters of the Imperial Family Worship Hall, have already prepared there, so it should be much easier. ”

After finishing speaking, Chu Wuji sighed: "I'm afraid your current strength is infinitely close to the Heaven and Earth Enlightenment, right? ”

Of course, Chu Wuji is just talking, he will try this kind of thing when he is crazy.

Those who do not have great perseverance in the True Fire Refining Body cannot practice, and Chu Xiu can successfully cultivate, in fact, a large part of it depends on chance and luck.

If others are like him, they don't die after being bombarded into slag, and it is possible to cultivate into a true fire refining body after reshaping their bodies.

"Heaven and Earth are not so easy to deal with, when it comes to the realm of you and me, one step at a time, the difference between cloud and mud is not so easy to surpass. ”

Chu Wuji said: "But in my opinion, you have at least crossed half a heaven." ”

After a few words of greeting, Chu Wuji directly followed Chu Xiu into Guanzhong City.

Xiao Yi and the others were all counting the losses of the Guanzhong Torture Hall, and after seeing Chu Xiu coming, they all saluted respectfully.

Chu Yuansheng also saw Chu Xiu, and his expression was still a little embarrassed, because he didn't know what he should call Chu Xiu.

Although he already knew now that Chu Xiu was using him at the beginning, Chu Yuansheng didn't really hate Chu Xiu.

After all, his interests have not been damaged, and even his father's position in the past has returned to his hands, and the power of the Guanzhong Torture Hall is even greater than before.

But at the beginning, he was Chu Xiu's eldest brother, but now Chu Xiu is no longer the head catcher of the rivers and lakes in the Guanzhong Torture Hall in the past, but a demon giant, a heroic figure who controls the entire Northern Yan Martial Arts.

It can even be said that in the past, his father was not as strong as Chu Xiuqiang now when he was at his peak.

Chu Yangge was fighting for Tianmen Luo Shenjun at the beginning, but he only used his own life to seriously injure Luo Shenjun.

But now Chu Xiu can already kill the Heavenly Gate Divine General, this is the gap.

Before Chu Yuansheng could speak, Chu Xiu walked over first and arched his hand and said, "Big brother, don't come unharmed?" this time, it's me who came late, if I came earlier, maybe the cities in the Guanzhong Torture Hall wouldn't have to be lost. ”

Seeing that Chu Xiu's attitude towards him was almost no different from before, Chu Yuansheng was also relieved, and he was even a little moved.

"Brother Chu doesn't have to blame himself, you came just right, in fact, I didn't lose anything in the Torture Hall.

We knew before that with the power of the Guanzhong Torture Hall, scattering the army against the Eastern Qi Dynasty was basically a mantis arm blocking the car.

Therefore, when the Eastern Qi army had just pressed the border, we had already withdrawn all the manpower, and the cities occupied by the Eastern Qi were just empty cities.

In addition, Dongqi also wants to completely occupy Guanzhong, so he is not embarrassed by some martial arts forces or others in the city. ”

Chu Xiu nodded and said, "That's fine, after counting the casualties, let's go to the discussion together."

The Royal Forest Army has retreated, but it doesn't mean that we are safe, Eastern Qi, but there is not only one Yulin Army. ”

Half an hour later, all the high-level officials of the Central Torture Hall and Chu Wuji came to the conference hall.

Chu Yuansheng wanted Chu Xiu to sit in the main seat, but Chu Xiu refused.

With his current position, he no longer needs to earn status and respect by sitting on the throne.

In fact, with the strength and strength controlled by Chu Xiu now, the Guanzhong Torture Hall is dispensable for him.

Chu Yuansheng never failed him in the past, and he naturally would not lose Chu Yuansheng, so as long as he was in one day, the Guanzhong Torture Hall would always be surnamed Chu.

Secretly, Chu surnamed Chu Xiu, on the bright side, Chu surnamed Chu Yuansheng.

Besides, Chu Xiu also admires Chu Crazy Song and Chu Giant Heroes, but admiration is admiration, Chu Xiu will be Chu Crazy Song in his life.

"What about the casualties on the side of the Guanzhong Torture Hall?" Chu Xiu asked.

Xiao Yi said in a deep voice: "More than 3,000 people died, 10,000 people were injured, this kind of military battle, I don't have an advantage in the Guanzhong Torture Hall." ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yi raised his head and glanced at Chu Xiu carefully and said, "My lord, can Beiyan send reinforcements over?"

Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "It's very difficult, the strength of Beiyan is here, the five armies of Zhenguo have already been dispatched, and if they are transferred, then they can only be dispatched to guard the Imperial Forest Army around Yanjing City and protect the palace." ”

The faces of the warriors in the torture hall at the scene all changed.

Without reinforcements, what will they do to guard the middle torture hall?

Don't look at the strength of the Guanzhong Torture Hall before, but this is a national war! A strong army built with the strength of a country is not something that a Guanzhong Torture Hall can stop at all.

However, Chu Xiu suddenly said at this time: "Beiyan can't send reinforcements here, but we can find a way on the Dongqi side to let Dongqi change the attack target."

The Guanzhong Torture Hall is not the main place, Wei County has Jiangshan Pavilion as the head, and the junction of Beiyan and Dongqi is also a battleground for both sides, and the Guanzhong Torture Hall is actually dispensable for Dongqi. ”

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly: "But the question now is, how do we get Dongqi to change their minds?"

Chu Xiu thought for a while, knocked on the table and said, "For so many years, as the center of the trade between the three countries, smuggling is such a thing, you few criminal officers must have done it often, right?"

Xiao Yi and the others' faces changed slightly, Chu Xiu waved his hand casually and said: "Don't be nervous, in the past, when I was in charge of the Guanzhong Torture Hall, this kind of thing was often done, people don't kill for themselves, this kind of profiteering thing, who can not touch it at all?"

You have been in the Guanzhong Torture Hall longer than me, and for so many years, there have been no big figures in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, some royal nobles and the like who have interfered in these smuggling businesses? Can you contact them?"

Xiao Yi nodded when he heard this: "Yes, it can be contacted, but my lord, now is the period of the national war between Eastern Qi and Northern Yan, even if they are contacted, they will not dare to interfere in this kind of matter." ”

Chu Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "Don't worry, you just need to contact it, as long as the interests are enough, they can't do such a thing as betraying the country."

You just need to contact them as I say, and I won't come forward, after all, my identity is sensitive, but I will tell you what to say in secret. ”

Hearing Chu Xiu say this, although Xiao Yi was still puzzled, he had to nod in agreement.

Xiao Yi and others have been in the Guanzhong Torture Hall for so many years, and the connections they have accumulated are really not simple.

The people on the Eastern Qi side wanted to smuggle things to Northern Yan and Western Chu, and the ordinary small caravans were sneaky, and the big caravans were to open up the relationship between the inspectors, and some extremely sensitive things had to be done by getting through them.

So for some powerful people in the Eastern Qi court, Xiao Yi really knows a lot.

It's just that at this critical moment, these people don't want to see Xiao Yi, but Chu Xiu's approach is very rude, directly threatening them, if they don't come, they will hand over the evidence of their smuggling over the years to the Eastern Qi court, especially the contraband they smuggled to Beiyan.

So although these people were angry, they still came obediently.

Of course, they were not idiots enough to enter the boundary of the Guanzhong Torture Hall, but found a place at the junction of Dongqi and the Guanzhong Torture Hall to meet Xiao Yi.

In a small town inn, Xiao Yi had already chartered the entire inn, and there were several people in gorgeous costumes sitting opposite him, old and young, but they all had angry faces.

One of them said coldly: "Lord Xiao, you are not doing this authentically.

We've all worked together so many times before, and buying and selling isn't benevolent.

You followed Chu Xiu and Beiyan to mix, but now you are being overwhelmed by the army and implicating us, what do you mean?"

Xiao Yi knew the identities of these people in front of him, and they were all nobles of Eastern Qi, even the royal family.

For example, the one who is talking in front of him, he is Lu Changlong, the Huai King of Eastern Qi, who belongs to the collateral royal family, although he is crowned king, but he has no real power, so he spends most of his time making money and enjoying himself.

Xiao Yi waved his hand and said, "Please calm your anger, you don't want to see me, and I really can't help it, so I thought of such a trick."

At present, you should all know the predicament of my Guanzhong Torture Hall, and this time I came to ask for your help. ”

Lu Changlong and the others hurriedly shook their heads and said, "Come less, Lord Xiao, you don't know that I am waiting for the details, can we talk about such a big thing?"

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "You are all figures with heads and faces in the Eastern Qi Imperial Court, why can't you speak?"

Rest assured, since I am begging for someone, then I will naturally be sincere in the Guanzhong Torture Hall.

After the Guanzhong Torture Hall returns to calm, I will not draw a penny of what you want to smuggle in the future.

And as long as you agree to help me close the torture hall once, everything here is yours. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yi directly opened a spatial secret box, which was full of mountains of gold, silver and jewelry.

Although these things are not very useful for martial artists, they are also real money.

Chu Xiu wanted to take these things out to bribe them, which still made Xiao Yi feel very distressed.

Seeing these things, Lu Changlong and the others were really moved.

But they still shook their heads and said: "Although money is a good thing, but right now, your Guanzhong Torture Hall is on the side of Beiyan, helping you is tantamount to betraying the country, and the money from this betrayal is not easy to earn." ”

At this time, Xiao Yi's voice came from Chu Xiu's ears.

He was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Let me ask you a question, do you think that Northern Yan can annex Eastern Qi?"

Everyone present immediately burst out laughing, and Lu Changlong said disdainfully: "My Daqi sits on the rich land of the Central Plains, and there are many heroes and heroes, even if Your Majesty makes several wrong decisions one after another, just rely on the barbarians of Beiyan, don't want to swallow my Daqi." ”

Xiao Yi smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then what are you still worried about betraying the country or not betraying the country? Don't say that this time we are just closing the middle torture hall to protect ourselves, even if we really want you to betray the country, buy and sell once, Dongqi will not have a problem, right?"

In that case, what's the big deal about selling once in a while?"
