Hmm, but how would he know? On the face of it, Chu Shuzhi is grouchy and disaffected and saddled with an annoying human puppy, and he only ever meets with the Envoy in secret. I can totally see Zhu Jiu interpreting that as a "desperate for an alternative, raze the SID to the ground" attitude, don't you think?
But Lao-Chu has been fighting with the other SID members all this time. And when Zhu Jiu captured Lao-Chu, he directly witnessed Lao-Chu and Xiao-Guo being protective of each other, and Lao-Chu fought to protect the human boys from the fight ring.
I mean. Zhu Jiu has no way of knowing about Lao-Chu's loyalty to the Envoy, and it's not unreasonable to thing it might be possible to make the only Dixingren in the SID change sides. But to jump straight to "let's fight humans and the Envoy together"? He doesn't even try to give him a proper pitch first about how the Envoy and the status quo are terrible and the SID is oppressing Dixingren, or anything. Ye Zun makes a more convincing effort with Zhao Yunlan, and Ye Zun isn't that great at being convincing. :p
