Chapter 757 Part 6
The method to break the inner demon of the Moon-Climbing Sword When Chu Xianping said this, no matter how "unexpressive" Lu Hongji was, he was inevitably stunned.
Of course he was interested in this, and even a large part of the reason why he started this national war was for this method!
Therefore, when Lu Hongji heard that Chu Xianping wanted to use this as a condition to exchange for Elder Kuilong's token, his brain was extremely confused for a moment.
Chu Xianping actually has a way to break the inner demon?
Where did he get it from?
He has the Tiaoyue Sword and the method to suppress his inner demons, so why doesn't he practice the Tiaoyue Sword?
Since he already knew this method and the purpose of launching this war, why didn't he propose this deal earlier? Why did he have to wait until now?
His breathing was rapid and his eyes were wide.
Due to Chu Xianping's identity as Elder Kuilong and his mysterious behavior in the past few days, Lu Hongji thought of countless questions at this moment, but he did not doubt the truthfulness of Chu Xianping's words.
But in fact, let alone the method of breaking the inner demon, Chu Xianping had not even mastered the Tiao Yue sword technique.
After all, when Wei Changtian learned about the drawbacks of the Tiao Yue Sword, he issued an order that no one was allowed to practice this sword technique anymore.
Therefore, Chu Xianping, Du Chang and others only knew the magic of the Tiao Yue Sword, but had never been exposed to swordsmanship.
The copy of the Tiao Yue Sword Manual had remained with Wei Changtian all along, until Old Zhang left, when it was returned to him.
As for what happened next, it is all very clear now.
Du Chang leaked Old Zhang's whereabouts to Lu Hongji, who then killed people for treasure and snatched the sword manual. Therefore, Chu Xianping actually did not master the Tiaoyue Sword at all, let alone a way to break his inner demons.
But this did not affect his confident tone as he spoke to the doubtful Lu Hongji:
"Captain Lu, I know you must have a lot of questions right now."
"But you don't need to know these things. You just need to understand that I do have this method in my hands."
"Of course, maybe in your opinion, even without me, you can still get this method from Qin Zhengqiu or the new empress."
"Well, I'll take another step back then."
"As long as you agree, I will immediately send my people to the army camp to help the army overcome the difficulties in the next few days."
"I won't care about what happens next. Whether you win or lose this battle has nothing to do with me."
"But if you lose, I will tell you how to defeat your inner demon, and you will have to hand over the elder token to me."
"And if you win and really get this method from the New Empress, then our deal will be over."
"You don't have to give me the elder token. Just consider this as my repayment for the favor you gave me for killing Du Chang."
"So what do you think?"
“.”
Amid Lu Hongji's changing eyes, Chu Xianping spoke at length and slowly, explaining the entire transaction very clearly.
I will first order my people to help you stabilize your army and prevent it from collapsing.
If you win the national war afterwards and get the method to defeat the inner demon as you wish, then the matter will be settled.
But if you still lose the national war, it doesn’t matter. I can still give you what you want, but you have to give me the elder token. To be honest, this whole transaction is very beneficial to Lu Hongji.
First of all, by winning the national war, he got the help of more than ten top-three-rank masters for free without paying anything.
At this critical juncture, this is very critical.
And even if he loses in the end, Chu Xianping will still tell him how to overcome his inner demons.
Of course, as a price, he had to hand over Elder Huangtai's token.
Although Elder Kuilong's identity is important, in Lu Hongji's eyes it is not as valuable as the method to break the inner demon of Tiao Yue Sword.
Therefore, from Lu Hongji's perspective, he could not find any reason to refuse at this time.
Even though he knew that Chu Xianping would never be so "kind", there must be some conspiracy behind the whole transaction. Knowing it was a fraud, he still couldn't help but step into the trap. This is the terrifying thing about Chu Xianping.
I am not afraid of your doubts or hesitations. In the end, you will definitely make the choice I have already made.
Because the conditions I offer you cannot possibly refuse.
"Mr. Chu"
After keeping his head down and remaining silent for a long time, Lu Hongji finally raised his head slowly after dozens of breaths.
"You seem to have determined that I will lose this battle. Otherwise, I really don't understand what benefit this deal will bring to you."
“.”
It has to be said that Lu Hongji is not an ordinary person.
Most people would have agreed to such temptation immediately, but he still had a very clear judgment.
When Chu Xianping heard this question, he did not hide it, but nodded and said with a smile: "Captain Lu, I have said before that although you have been very cautious, you still underestimated Wei Changtian."
"Don't think that Kuilong is the best in the world. His methods are far beyond your imagination."
"So in my opinion, even if it's not 100%, you still have a 90% chance of losing."
".Really?"
Looking directly at Chu Xianping, Lu Hongji did not ask any further questions.
His expression was calm, but a feeling of "dissatisfaction" gradually rose in his heart because of these words.
To put it bluntly, he didn't think Wei Changtian's methods were "beyond imagination", nor did he think that there was a 90% chance that he would lose this national war.
Therefore, driven by this emotion, he finally nodded slowly.
"Okay, I promise."
"If I really lose this battle, I will give you the elder token and I will never regret it."
“.”
"That's best."
With a faint smile on his lips, Chu Xianping shook his sleeves and stood up: "Then I will order my men to go to the army camp. I hope Captain Lu can send a message to give them an identity as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
“It’s natural.”
Lu Hongji also stood up slowly: "Don't worry, Mr. Chu."
"good."
After responding, Chu Xianping stopped looking at Lu Hongji and turned to look at the "tea stall owner" standing in the distance.
He didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
But the big man seemed to understand something, and immediately took out a piece of mother-and-child jade from his arms and began to deliver the message.
“.”
Seeing this scene, Lu Hongji trembled and froze in place as if struck by lightning.
So, was everything really as he expected? A gust of wind blew by, and it seemed to bring with it a chill that was not typical of the late spring season.
Lu Hongji looked at Chu Xianping blankly, and suddenly felt that he should have thought about it more.
But no matter how much he thought about it, would he refuse this deal? Lu Hongji knew the answer must be "no".
What's more, now that it has come to this, he can't retreat anymore.
"call"
Taking a deep breath, Lu Hongji silently looked at Chu Xianping for the last time, then looked away with a complicated expression.
At this moment, whether he was willing or not, he could only admit that he was far inferior to the latter in terms of scheming and strategy.
This cannot be blamed on Lu Hongji being too "stupid". On the contrary, Lu Hongji's talent is actually considered above average among the hundreds of emperors in the world.
Therefore, if anyone is to blame, it can only be blamed on Chu Xianping for being too "abnormal". "Captain Lu, since you and I have already had tea, it's time to go."
“The tea stall still needs to be returned to the owner.”
