"Chu Tianxiao must still be alive, and he must be about to embark on the Panlong Road, and at this time..."
Mo Xiang looked at Wu Xiang, with an unclear yet strong meaning in his eyes.
"This is our chance."
This statement was obscure. If it were someone else, they would probably be confused and not understand its meaning... But who is Wu Xiang? With his intelligence, how could he not hear the hidden meaning
So when he heard this, he paused, put down the chess piece, and said, "Brother Mo, do you want to change the trajectory of Panlong Road?"
"That's right." Mo Xiang nodded, "I will activate the Mo family's 'Ghost Calculation Divine Plate', and Brother Wu will activate the 'Light Phase Leaf', which will be enough to change the direction of Panlong Road."
“… Your Majesty will know.”
"It's okay. I've already thought of a countermeasure for that." Mo Xiang waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty wants to unify the vast land of China. He is very ambitious and will not lose the big picture for the sake of small things. Besides... one Chu Zhongyi is enough. Now Chu Tianxiao has suppressed the nine great divine families. The Chu family is in its heyday. If he is allowed to win, who knows if the Chu family will not continue to grow? Your Majesty is so powerful, how could he not know the principle that a big tail cannot be cut off!"
Wu Xiang shook his head gently and said, "If what you said is true, the Purple Marquis would not have entered the ancestral land, but would have been sentenced to death. His Majesty's attitude towards the Chu family... is not as strange and unpredictable as you and I expected before. This is certain."
"Trust is only temporary after all. It is better to take precautions before it happens and to maintain checks and balances. That is what a wise ruler does. Your Majesty would not be so unwise." Mo Xiang said, "Unless there is something that you and I don't know, but... that is impossible."
There was great confidence in these words. After hearing this, Wu Xiang was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly and said: "The court situation is like this. For the sake of the overall situation, it is better to let Chu He take charge of the Chu family."
This sentence was filled with the domineering power of someone who was pointing fingers at the world, as if just a casual and light sentence could determine Chu Tianxiao's life or death.
Mo Xiang nodded upon hearing this and said, "Thank you, Brother Wu."
"Brother Mo, you're welcome. This is also for my own good... I just don't know how you are going to change your course?"
"During this period of time, Chu Tianxiao fought against top talents in Kyoto, defeated Luo Bingqing, and defeated Lei Bai... I have detailed records of these battles. Combined with his previous experiences, his bottom line strength... can be roughly estimated." Mo Xiang said, "Even if we take the worst case scenario, after Chu Tianxiao walks out of the Young Master's Building this time, his real combat power will probably only be around the middle level of Tongxuan. He can defeat the upper level of Tongxuan who has undergone marrow washing, but he will be powerless against the middle level of Tongxuan who has undergone perfect marrow washing. If he does not make much progress this time, then the lower level of Tongxuan who has undergone perfect marrow washing will be his limit..."
Wu Xiang smiled slightly upon hearing this, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and said, "The Tongxuan realm that Brother Mo mentioned is the level of the top geniuses in Kyoto?"
"The thirty-two top talents in Kyoto can be evaluated by ranking below ninth place." Mo Xiang said, "Above, it will be more and more difficult for Chu Tianxiao to win."
"so?"
Mo Xiang said: "Not only do I want to change the route... many of the Divine Marquis families on the Panlong Road have also discussed with me and want to change the route to Chu Tianxiao... If it succeeds, the benefits will be shared equally between you and me."
"Hehe... They really think Chu Tianxiao is a soft persimmon. However, facing such a strong Chu He, it is quite rational to make such a decision." Wu Xiang nodded lightly and said, "The Coiled Dragon Stele has a great temptation to these people."
"That's right," Mo Xiang nodded and said, "But a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit. Our goal is to stop Chu Tianxiao's rise. For people of this path, quality is more important than quantity. I will only take Luo Bingbai and Mu Donglin."
After saying this, a flash of surprise flashed across Wu Xiang's eyes: "You think highly of this prodigal son."
It should be noted that there are also differences among the top talents in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Chu He is far ahead and is the undisputed number one. Behind him are Luo Bingbai, Mu Donglin, and Qin Di, who are strong competitors for the second place among the top talents. Each of them has at least reached the upper realm of Mingyuan. Among them, Qin Di has advanced through meditation on the Panlong Road and has reached the level of Tongxuan Realm. He also has the body refining technique and is known as Chu He's biggest opponent on the Panlong Road this time!
People like Luo Bingbai and Mu Donglin are naturally proud and would not be willing to turn to Chu Tianxiao to block the way, but the Divine Marquis Family has never been a place that only cares about the mood of geniuses. With the return of many Divine Marquises, the family's control has increased significantly. For the long-term future, even if this matter is "bullying the weak", they have no choice.
And sacrificing two of the three strongest men under Chu He would be a devastating blow to Chu Tianxiao.
Don't do this, your heart is damnable.
"The Panlong Road is indeed mysterious. Even if we work together, we can only change its trajectory a little bit. We naturally cannot move the miscellaneous soldiers over." Mo Xiang said lightly, as if in his eyes, even the top geniuses in Kyoto have become miscellaneous soldiers. Wu Xiang did not comment on this, and said lightly: "Brother Mo is known as a divine fortune teller. In this regard, I am ashamed of myself. Since you think it is necessary, then act according to your plan."
After this was said, Mo Xiang did not say anything but fell silent. After a moment, he stretched out his finger and drew a circle on the stone table.
"If necessary, I will send Mo Yi from my Mo family to accompany us."
After saying this, Wu Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Mo Yi? I wonder if the person Brother Mo is talking about is..."
Before he finished speaking, Mo Xiang had already nodded gently: "Not bad."
Wu Xiang was silent for a long time after hearing this, then he stood up, looked towards the sky in the distance, and said leisurely: "Brother Mo, if you go too far, His Majesty will be angry."
“If the Chu family is allowed to be controlled by Chu Tianxiao, our two families will never have peace, and the Great Zhou will surely fall into chaos. Only then will His Majesty be really angry.” Prime Minister Mo also stood up and just looked at Prime Minister Wu without saying another word.
Wu Xiang pondered for a long time, then sat down again, with a playful smile on his face: "Brother Mo, you are afraid."
Mo Xiang remained silent.
"It seems... you are hiding something..."
Wu Xiang said something that hinted at something, but Mo Xiang also said bluntly: "Could Brother Wu be honest with me?"
"Haha... Yes, Brother Mo, what you said is true! But since you think so highly of that prodigal son, then I'll place a bet as well."
Mo Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he heard Wu Xiang slowly say two words: "Emperor Garden."
After saying this, Mo Xiang's right hand trembled slightly, and then a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Do you think he can defeat Chu He?"
Wu Xiang said: "Just in case... If this prodigal can really defeat the monster in your Mo family, why do you think he can't defeat Chu He?"
Mo Xiang looked at the other side and said sarcastically: "If there is no accident, I will not send Mo Yi to the battle. This move is not just to prevent any accidents."
Wu Xiang smiled and spread his hands: "Since we are all preparing for the battle for the Imperial Garden, then our goals are still the same... After this battle, no matter what, the Chu family will no longer have the possibility of taking over the Imperial Garden. This is considered an agreement between you and me, how about it?"
Mo Xiang nodded and said, "The Emperor's Garden is for the capable, and the Chu family... cannot compete with you and me."
"Haha, Brother Mo, you are joking. Our Wu family is not that greedy. In fact, we just want to get enough benefits after the battle for the Imperial Garden."
Hearing this, Mo Xiang looked at Wu Xiang deeply, his eyes turned slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes! Wu Xiang smiled and stretched out his right palm. After a pause, Mo Xiang also stretched out his hand expressionlessly. The two of them hit each other with their palms, and their eyes were fixed.
"Okay, happy cooperation." Wu Xiang's smile grew wider.
“…it was a pleasure to work with you.”
…
A few days later.
Just when Chu He was winning battles one after another and everyone was either amazed or cheering for Chu He, a lazy voice came from somewhere in the Young Master's Building.
"Liuling, are you there? Bring me some clothes. And... boil some water. I want to take a bath."
