The martial arts forces in the southwest are generally not strong, and the bandits are even more of a mob.

In fact, the existence of the bandits in the southwest is longer than the local martial arts forces. After all, this place was deserted at the beginning, and it was not until the commercial road was opened that it seemed a little popular.

And there is a kind of person in places with trade routes, that is, bandits.

However, these bandits have no plans, most of them have a mediocre attitude, and even they are killing each other. So after so many years, there is no bandit force that can be taken advantage of, and most of them are still just a mob.

But it is normal to think about it. The power of bandits is inherently inadequate. For example, the rise of the thirty-six giant bandits in the north in the past has been a rare event in a thousand years. The bandits in other places can only be regarded as small-scale fights.

Chu Xiu and Eunuch Li chose the stronger Qingfeng Village among the twenty-three villages.

Song Qian, the bandit leader of Qingfeng Village, is also interesting. He not only looks like a scholar, but also because he is a scholar himself.

It is said that Song Qian was just a scholar in his early years. He was so poor that he had no money to study and could only go to serve as a tent for the caravan. However, he was robbed by bandits halfway, and he was robbed by bandits and used as a tent for the copycat.

Later, because he came up with a good idea for the parody, the power of the parody increased greatly. Song Qian also changed from a accountant to a military advisor, and also got the opportunity to practice martial arts.

Moreover, Song Qian did not expect that he, a weak scholar, had a good talent in martial arts. He only took more than 20 years to reach the state of unity between man and nature, so he found an opportunity to directly kill the previous village leader and renamed the village Qingfeng Village, until today.

This time, Chu Xiu and others climbed to Qingfeng Village and felt the strength of the three of them. Song Qian came out to greet him in person.

Although he became the leader of the village, Song Qian was still wearing a literati uniform and his elegant appearance. At this time, he did not look like a bandit leader, but rather like a teacher.

"I wonder why the three of you came to my Qingfeng Village? But my subordinates robbed the three of you by mistake? Don't worry, I'll send them back now and give them a favor." Song Qian bowed politely, and his posture was very low.

Some caravans traveling to and from the southwest can move, while others cannot move.

For example, caravans from major forces have strong defense power. Not to mention whether they can move, even if they move, they will be retaliated by the other party in the future.

Therefore, the bandits in the Twenty-Three Villages changed very quickly. Maybe one day someone else would directly destroy the copycat and destroy the family.

Because of this, Song Qian established rules after becoming the leader of the village, he only robbed things and did not kill people, and he must not do anything at all.

Moreover, after snatching the thing, you cannot use it immediately, but store it first. After a few months, you will see that no one is coming to retaliate, so you can spend it.

If someone comes, then lower your posture and give it back and apologize.

Anyway, for these bandits, they can’t eat face, so what’s the use of him?

Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "The Song Master was wrong. We came not to ask for things, but to deliver things."

As he said that, Chu Xiu began to hold purple gold piece by piece from outside.

Not to mention, this kind of scene is quite shocking. At least for a bandit leader like Song Lian, he has never seen so many purple gold in his life.

There are quite a few ordinary gold and silver objects, but purple gold can be used to set up arrays and refine weapons. It is considered a hard currency. There are dozens of taels in ordinary families, which are considered to be the best. Like Chu Xiu, they are melted into gold bricks and put them on the table. It was quite shocking.

And to be honest, even Chu Xiu himself was moved by these purple golds. Even if he didn't have that much tax in Guanxi for a year, the prince was a prince after all, especially princes like the second prince who held real power and had the opportunity to ascend to the great treasure in the future. Their background is extraordinary.

After taking out ten purple gold bricks in a row, Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Song Dazhu, these are gifts given to you by the second prince. I wonder, these things are enough for Song Dazhu, you stand on the side of the second prince? Of course, if Song Dazhu is not enough, I still have them here."

Song Lian swallowed his saliva, and his eyes almost imprinted on the purple gold brick.

When Song Lian heard about the second prince, he was indeed shocked, but then he realized that no matter whether he was a prince or a second prince, the most important thing was to get the benefits himself.

And in fact, it was indeed as Chu Xiu guessed that the prince did not spend too much effort on the bandits of the twenty-three villages.

Compared with some other forces, the 23 villages had the most bandits, but they were all mobs. The prince Lu Longji was born with a sense of disgust towards these bandits.

Moreover, as long as the sects in the southwest agree to join the prince's command, it doesn't matter whether these bandits surrender, and they can't cause any storm.

So here in the Twenty-San Village, the prince's confidants like Eunuch Chen and Li Yuan did not even come in person. They just sent a few ordinary subordinates, negotiated with them, and then left after giving them some things.

Even if Song Lian and other bandits in the Twenty-Three Villages were dissatisfied, it would be useless. Once the other martial arts forces agreed, if the bandits in the Twenty-Three Villages wanted to cause trouble, they might not have the prince to take action, and the local martial arts forces would be enough to solve them all.

So after Chu Xiu took out so many purple gold bricks, Song Lian almost didn't even have to think about it, and immediately he turned to the second prince.

As for Chu Xiu asking him if he was enough, although Song Lian thought in his heart that he would not have too many purple gold bricks, Song Lian forced his eyes away from those purple gold bricks and smiled dryly: "It's enough, of course it's enough."

He is not an idiot, he knows what the consequences of greed will be.

One hundred purple gold bricks are enough to buy his entire Qingfeng Village. If he is more greedy and takes the opportunity to blackmail the second prince, his fate will probably not be good.

Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said, "It's good that you can get enough. When the alliance comes a month later, you know what Song Dajia should do."

Song Lian nodded quickly and said, "I know, please rest assured that the second prince is so generous. Although he is a bandit, he also knows the word "credit". I will never disappoint Your Highness."

Chu Xiu nodded and turned around and left.

Eunuch Li and Fang Zhenqi in the rear looked at each other, and they were a little disbelief. The matter was so simple that it was done? This was a bit too fast.

Fang Zhenqi was doing a murder mission, so he was just a little surprised at the time Chu Xiu spent.

But Eunuch Li is different. He has been with Lu Longguang for so long. Although he is not the strongest person under Lu Longguang, he is the person Lu Longguang trusts the most. He has participated in many secret tasks and performed many of them.

He could use these tricks that Chu Xiu used, and he could also use them. Except for the time when he kidnapped Zheng Chengyong, the rest had no technical content.

But what really scares Chu Xiu's methods is his grasp of people's hearts.

Facing different people, using the most appropriate means to make them submit is the most terrifying thing.

No one is impeccable. As long as there is a slight loophole in these people, they will be caught by Chu Xiu and then defeated one by one by one using the most appropriate method.

After dealing with these people, Chu Xiu, Eunuch Li and others hid directly in the southwest. A month later, Li Yuan and Eunuch Chen also brought their people to the southwest.

This time, many people under the prince came. In addition to Li Yuan and Eunuch Chen, there were also three masters in the realm of unity between man and nature, all of whom were guests recruited by the prince.

When he came to the southwest again, Li Yuan felt quite energetic.

The main person in charge of recruiting and subduing these people in the southwest are Li Yuan and Eunuch Chen.

If the matter is done this time, his position in the Crown Prince will definitely increase a lot.

After arriving in the southwest, Li Yuan did not delay and directly sent invitations to people from the Five Gates, Eight Families, Eleven Sects and Twenty-Three Villages, asking them to come to the Wangtian Cave of the Goddess Peak to participate in the alliance.

Goddess Peak is very famous in the southwest. Legend has it that in ancient times, a goddess ascended here, so it was named Goddess Peak.

As for this Wangtian Cave, it is a cave in the Goddess Peak. Because there is a huge opening on the top of it, you can see the sky by looking up, so it is called Wangtian Cave.

At this time, the huge cave in Wangtian Cave had been neatly packed, and the leaders of the five gates, eight sects, and twenty-three villages gathered here, and they were seated according to their respective forces.

Li Yuan, Eunuch Chen and others stood in the center. After everyone had already arrived, Li Yuan bowed to everyone present and said, "Everyone, although the southwest land is desolate and barren, it is also the territory of my Great Qi land.

You all started from scratch and laid these foundations in the southwest. It is not easy, and I admire you.

Now that the Crown Prince is destined to be the great treasure in the future, he will definitely ascend to the great treasure, so he is ready to invite all the heroes from the southwest to jointly promote the prestige of our Great Qi!"

Li Yuan was talking passionately, and there was a little applause from below, but Li Yuan always felt something was wrong.

Why are some people below not so intense reactions? Since they have come to participate in the alliance, do they still have any doubts about this matter?

But at this moment, a sneering voice came from outside.

"They have saved up such a large family business from scratch, and the prince took them away in one sentence, and they also called it the prestige of the country. Could it be that the prince is planning to take these warriors from the southwest to attack Beiyan?"
