This trip to Tianxuan Mountain exposed Qiao Qingzhi to many things.
Before coming, Da Siming specifically told her to protect Chu Qingxiao as much as possible.
She still felt strange at the time, thinking that even if Chu Qingxiao was really a survivor in Wuling City, he was just an ordinary person with nothing outstanding about him, so why would he hesitate to offend Tianxuanshan Baoxia.
But recently, after seeing the methods of Prince Wu's Mansion, she realized the excellence of her great commander.
Since the civil strife was put down twelve years ago, Prince Wu's Mansion has taken the opportunity to grow in size. King Qin Huan of Wu has become a very popular minister, and Prince Wu's Mansion has been called a small court by outsiders. Even envoys from the Northern Wei Dynasty and various vassal states arrived in Daxia. The time I met was not the emperor of Daxia, but Qin Huan, the King of Wu.
Now the young master of the Great Xia Dynasty, King Wu seems to be no longer satisfied with the identity of this extremely human minister. He wants to go one step further, and taking action against Tianxuan Mountain and Jiantiansi may be because he is clearing up the troubles before taking the final step. obstacle.
What happened today greatly touched Qiao Qingzhi.
He was also secretly frightened by the methods of Prince Wu's Mansion.
A seemingly meaningless complaint killed two birds with one stone, involving Jian Tiansi and Tianxuan Shan.
Although Tianxuan Mountain's troubles are much bigger than those of Supervisor Tiansi, involving matters of desolation and divinity, once a thorough investigation is conducted and it is confirmed that Tianxuan Mountain is related to it, even if Tianxuan Mountain's current family has a big business, it will not collapse overnight. , but it may also face a high-level reshuffle, or even completely become a vassal of Prince Wu's Mansion.
Jian Tiansi seems to have nothing to do with it, but today Zhong Yuan brought Xu Ran of Jianyue City to the forefront, which already means that Jianyue City will start to participate in the killing of gods again. This is undoubtedly another sign of Prince Wu's Mansion. By seizing power from Jian Tiansi, it may be difficult for Jian Yuecheng to threaten Jian Tiansi in a short period of time.
But Jianyue City has the support of King Wu behind it. As long as the time is right, Jianyue City can grow into a giant in a short period of time, just like Tianxuan Mountain that was supported back then.
To be cautious, this matter should not be taken lightly.
Jianyue City was originally the inheritance place of the Tianxunsi. He was able to pursue the gods in a legitimate and justified manner. The Tiantiansi could not forcefully interfere, otherwise the Prince Wu's Mansion would seize the opportunity and the gain would outweigh the losses.
In the past, Supervisor Tiansi really couldn't do anything about this matter and could only watch.
But now Chu Qingxiao, who suddenly appeared, was the best chess piece given to Jian Tiansi by God to deal with King Wu.
Chu Qingxiao came from Wuling City, and he had the Dragon Xiang Seal on his body that was given to him by Song Guicheng before he died. According to the rules of the Tianxian Division in the past, whoever owns this seal will be the next Long Xiang General.
Relying on this relationship, Jian Tiansi can completely support Chu Qingxiao and compete with Xu Ran for the orthodox status of Jianyue City, so as to contain Jianyue City and make King Wu's plan to squeeze Jian Tiansi's power through Jianyue City fail.
But there is an important premise for all this - Chu Qingxiao must be a person who can be controlled by them.
So from the moment they met, Qiao Qingzhi kept testing Chu Qingxiao.
For example, when Chu Qingxiao told the reason why he was unwilling to drink.
In the past, Qiao Qingzhi would probably not be embarrassed, but after learning that this was the request from the other party's father before he died, Qiao Qingzhi started to think about it.
She could see that everything in Wuling City was important to Chu Qingxiao.
Otherwise, he would not take such a big risk and choose to reveal his identity. This has only one purpose - to seek justice for the people in Wuling City and Song Guicheng.
Such an idea seemed very naive to Qiao Qingzhi.
But childishness has its advantages.
By insisting on letting Chu Qingxiao drink, Qiao Qingzhi was testing whether Chu Qingxiao could change his bottom line.
Although Chu Qingxiao hesitated, she was very satisfied with the choice she made.
During the entire conversation that followed, Chu Qingxiao was almost led by Qiao Qingzhi.
Everything went surprisingly smoothly.
Thinking about it, after all, he is just a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. He has a good heart, but he does not understand the dangers of the Great Xia court at all.
Qiao Qingzhi has seen too many such people.
If you tell him a few superficial things, he will feel like he has a glimpse of the whole picture.
If you show some kindness to him, he will be grateful to you.
Of course, Qiao Qingzhi was not stupid. She had also suspected that Chu Qingxiao was deliberately pretending to be crazy and stupid to her in order to gain trust.
But such doubts disappeared after Chu Qingxiao surrendered impatiently.
Jian Tiansi wanted to use Chu Qingxiao to compete with Jian Yuecheng.
But Chu Qingxiao is not completely bargaining capital.
Prince Wu's Mansion also hopes to use him as a bargaining chip to bring down Tianxuan Mountain.
Of course, a person cannot jump left and right between Jian Tiansi and Prince Wu's Mansion. Before he has enough strength, he is just asking for death if he waits for a price too much.
But he doesn't have to be so impatient.
Obviously, in Chu Qingxiao's heart, he didn't know his own value.
This voluntary surrender caused Chu Qingxiao to miss the opportunity to sell himself at a good price in this transaction.
And if he was smart enough to pretend to be crazy and act stupid to show weakness to Supervisor Tiansi, he would never miss this opportunity.
Therefore, at this moment, Qiao Qingzhi was very sure of his judgment. The Chu Qingxiao in front of him was a young man whose mind was not yet mature and could easily be controlled.
…
She looked at the eager and enthusiastic young man in front of her and said with a smile: "Silly brother, it's not that my sister doesn't want to help you, it's just that this matter is not that simple."
"You have also seen what happened today. Jianyue City's sudden appearance here was probably due to instructions from Prince Wu's Mansion. In addition, over the years, Jianyue City has always obeyed Prince Wu's Mansion. The two are closely related."
"If you want to compete with Jianyue City for the title of Longxiang Guard's orthodoxy, you are going against Prince Wu's Mansion."
"Although Supervisor Tiansi and Xuantian Si were in the same spirit in the past, today is different from the past. Prince Wu's Mansion has overwhelming power in the Great Xia Dynasty, and Supervisor Tiansi does not dare to compete with it head-on..."
After hearing this, Chu Qingxiao's face looked gloomy: "Is there really no other way?"
Seeing Chu Qingxiao's behavior, Qiao Qingzhi also knew not to push too hard. She changed the topic and said: "Sister, although I am the young commander of the Supervisory Tiansi, many things require the approval of the senior commander before I can do it."
"And Da Siming is a cautious person. Sister, if I want to convince him, I need at least some support. It's not easy to do it with just one word."
Qiao Qingzhi's words made Chu Qingxiao lower his head. He gritted his teeth and hesitated for a while before saying: "I..."
"I know some friends who can probably help me..."
"Friends?" Qiao Qingzhi narrowed her eyes with a strange look: "You mean those confidantes around you?"
"Those little girls are good, but after all, they haven't fully grown up yet. It's too early to deal with Jianyue City..."
Chu Qingxiao waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, what I said is..."
"yes……"
Chu Qingxiao looked confused and hesitated for a long time, unable to explain why.
The smile on Qiao Qingzhi's face was still bright. She was not displeased because of Chu Qingxiao's hesitation. Instead, she said considerately: "Sister, I know you have concerns."
"After all, you are only seventeen or eighteen years old. All your family and friends have suddenly passed away overnight. It is really difficult for you to face the world alone. It is normal and a good thing to be wary of people."
"No matter who your friends are, they won't be of much help to this matter."
"In this case, sister, go back and write a letter to Da Siming to see his attitude, and try to get some help for you, but the effect will not be too great, but don't worry, sister will continue to think of a solution, but time may A little longer.”
Chu Qingxiao was stunned when he heard this, and looked up at Qiao Qingzhi in astonishment. It seemed that he did not expect that the other party was still willing to help him despite his distrust.
He immediately looked grateful, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, have you ever heard of Xiaoyu City?"
Qiao Qingzhi's expression changed slightly at this moment. This was not the answer she expected.
But this answer surprised her even more.
"Are you talking about Xiao Yucheng, who was once one of the Seven Dragon Guards of the Great Xia Dynasty? Do they still have descendants alive today?" Qiao Qingzhi calmed down and asked, staring at Chu Qingxiao.
Chu Qingxiao didn't seem to notice the change in Qiao Qingzhi's tone. Instead, he was immersed in the emotion of gratitude to Qiao Qingzhi. At this time, he continued: "It's that Xiaoyu City. I met a person from Xiaoyu City when I was passing through Luer Mountain. Disciple, Lu Feng!”
"At that time we encountered a barren there, and he was the one who suppressed it."
"Lu'er Mountain?" Qiao Qingzhi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. There was a divine fluctuation in Lu'er Mountain a few months ago. For this reason, Jian Tiansi wanted to send people to investigate, but Prince Wu's Mansion got there first and let him Tianxuanshan took over the matter, and if Chu Qingxiao could tell the matter, what he said should be true.
"Xiaoyu City has disappeared for so many years, but it still has the means to deal with Desolation. So, the strength they have is not weak." Qiao Qingzhi asked casually.
The Supervisor Tiansi needed to support a Long Xiang Guard to compete with Jian Yuecheng, but he did not need a new Supervisor Tiansi to compete with him, so she felt a little wary and wanted to find out the current situation of Xiaoyu City.
Chu Qingxiao obviously did not hear Qiao Qingzhi's plan. He continued without doubting his words: "That's not true. According to him, there are only four or five senior brothers left in Xiaoyu City including him, and because of the twelve We were separated during the war two years ago. He has been looking for his fellow sect these years, but there has been no news. He made an agreement with me to find me in Tianxuan Mountain in half a year, so there are only two months left."
Qiao Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"That is indeed a pity, but since he is the descendant of Xiaoyu City, even if there is only one person, it will be a good help."
"But it's still too few. You saw today that Xu Ran has a lot of talents under his command. There are also 6,000 soldiers under the gate of Jianyue City, and most of them are well-trained and can cooperate with the specific formations of Jianyue City. Their strength It cannot be underestimated, if you want to compete with them, you need more means."
Having said this, Qiao Qingzhi paused intentionally, looked at Chu Qingxiao thoughtfully and asked: "Think about it carefully, besides Xiao Yucheng, are there any other possible helpers?"
Chu Qingxiao thought about it carefully after hearing this, then shook his head in distress and said: "Sister Qiao, I have only left Wuling City for less than half a year. It is purely luck that I can meet people from Xiaoyu City. There is no one else who might be able to help me..."
Qiao Qingzhi glanced at Chu Qingxiao and continued without giving up: "I heard that the peak master of Shenhe Peak, Mu Nanshan, seems to have special regard for you. He will even allow you to enter the library of Shenhe Peak..."
"Master Mu Peak favors me because Sun Li, a senior from Shenhe Peak, was bullied by Ganquan Peak in Tianxuan City. I helped senior Sun a lot, so he favored me."
"But first of all, as Sister Qiao said, Tianxuan Mountain has too much time to take care of itself. Secondly, it has to be the enemy of Prince Wu's Mansion in this matter. It would be a bit difficult for Master Mu to get involved," Chu Qingxiao said.
After hearing this, Qiao Qingzhi looked at Chu Qingxiao meaningfully for a while, and chose Chu Qingxiao as the bridgehead against Jianyue City. In addition to Chu Qingxiao's own identity, there was another important reason, which was the relationship between Chu Qingxiao and Mu Nanshan.
Shenhe Peak is affiliated to Tianxuan Mountain, but it is also one of the Seven Dragon Guards. The relationship here is complicated and has many historical origins, which is difficult to describe in detail.
But at the same time, this is not a secret. Qiao Qingzhi originally thought that Chu Qingxiao should have known about this matter, but judging from his behavior, I am afraid that the peak master of Shenhe Peak did not fully trust Chu Qingxiao and did not inform him about this matter.
Otherwise, Chu Qingxiao had told her the truth about Xiaoyu City, so there was obviously no need to hide anything about this matter.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qingzhi did not delve into it, she pondered for a while and said.
"I know you have a miserable life experience, and it's not easy to get to this point."
"Since you are determined to avenge Jian Jia and seek justice for the souls of Wuling City, you call me sister again. I will help you even if you don't want to."
"But I want to remind you that revenge is extremely dangerous. Have you thought about it?"
Chu Qingxiao looked at the other party with a straight face, and said excitedly: "Qingxiao has already died once, how can he be afraid of death? As long as my sister has a way, Chu Qingxiao will never give up!"
"Okay!" Qiao Qingzhi nodded, and then said: "Since you are still in contact with Xiaoyu City, find a way to summon them as soon as possible. You can also move around more at Shenhe Peak. Maybe there will be unexpected gains."
"I will send a letter to Da Siming tomorrow, giving you a title so that you can compete with Jian Yuecheng. But how you will overpower the opponent in the future depends on your ability!"
Chu Qingxiao nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Sister, don't worry, Qingxiao will definitely not let her down, and will definitely prove that we are the orthodoxy of Jianyue City."
"No!" But Qiao Qingzhi shook her head.
"Huh? What do you mean, sister?" Chu Qingxiao asked in confusion.
"Although I believe that Song Guicheng and his party were indeed wronged, but the verdict has not yet been reversed, it will be difficult for you to stand up in the name of Jianyue City's orthodoxy, and you may even be bitten by Xu Ran." Qiao Qingzhi said.
"If not this, what else should we name it?" Chu Qingxiao asked with a frown.
"Of course it is a more famous name than Jianyue City." Qiao Qingzhi said with a smile.
"What's the name?" Chu Qingxiao asked.
Qiao Qingzhi narrowed her eyes, and at that moment three words came out of her mouth: "Surveying Division!"
