Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

On the third day, Chu Junyan's army guarding the two counties and the Wang family began to evacuate Lingzhou.

But in Linghong Mansion, when the news spread to Jiang Kun, who quickly rushed back to the Zhongyi Hall headquarters, he was opposed by the two flag masters and a group of helmsmen guarding Linghong Mansion and Ling Cang Mansion.

"Hall Master, I don't agree. We have worked hard in Lingzhou for so many years and finally established a general trend. Now we just want to leave. I am not willing to do it. When the King of Chu comes, the worst I can do is fight with him. I will drag him to death. one."

"Yes, eighteen years later, I am a good man again!"

In the lobby, below Jiang Kun were the two flag masters, Chen Feihai, the leader of the Blood Eagle flag, and Wu Yao, the leader of the Fengyu flag.

Chen Feihai's most obvious feature is his blood-red hair, gloomy face, eyes like a ghost, surrounded by a sinister wind.

Wu Yao is a gentle and elegant middle-aged scholar, but anyone who knows him well will know what a cruel heart is hidden under his gentle appearance. This person is insidious and cunning, and no matter who the enemy is, he will use the most cruel methods to attack him. solve.

Below, there were six or seven helmsmen sitting, all of whom were masters. The big bosses at the innate level could only stand at the back, each one clamoring not to leave Lingzhou.

When Jiang Kun saw the clamoring of these leaders and big bosses, he knew that they had taken refuge with Chen Feihai and Wu Yao. Looking at the two of them, Jiang Kun said in a low voice:

"Have you two decided to stay in Lingzhou?"

Wu Yao smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly and said:

"Gang leader, everyone has his own ambitions. Since the gang leader has chosen to go to Zhenguo Mansion, we will not stop him. Many of our brothers have defeated Linghong Mansion and Lingcang Mansion. It would be a bit unwilling to leave just like that."

But Chen Feihai was not so polite. Among the eight banner leaders, only Shi Zhenlong was stronger than him. Now that Jiang Zhu is dead, Shi Zhenlong, who was loyal to Jiang Kun, is also dead. He is not inferior to Jiang Kun at all, leaning on his chair He went up, picked his dark red nails with a knife and said arrogantly:

"Gang leader, if you want to be a dog for the Zhenguo government, we can't control it, but we are used to being carefree in Lingzhou and we can't kneel down."

Jiang Kun's face turned cold and he looked at Chen Feihai with extremely low eyes.

Facing Jiang Kun's cold eyes, Chen Feihai showed a disdainful smile and leaned on his chair in another direction.

Wu Yao smiled and said: "Hall Master, King Chu gave you five days, and now three days have passed. You should go back and pack your things expressly like those who are willing to go to Zhenguo Mansion with you. We will not leave Lingzhou."

"Okay, then you can take care of yourself!"

Jiang Kun snorted coldly and disappeared into the lobby.

When Chen Feihai saw Jiang Kun leaving, he disdainfully mocked:

"Haha, if you don't do a good job as a hall master, you have to be a dog for others. Now that it's better, the old hall master is gone, and you, Jiang Kun, are still escaping from Lingzhou in embarrassment. It's ridiculous."

"Alas, the longer the hall master lives, the more confused he becomes!" A helmsman below Chen Feihai shook his head.

"Okay, after all, he is also the master of our Zhongyi Hall, so give him some face."

Wu Yao frowned slightly, not that he was still loyal to Jiang Kun, and Jiang Kun's trip to the Zhenguo Mansion was indeed a good place. If something unexpected happened to him in the future, he could go and seek refuge with him.

Chen Feihai said even more disdainfully:

"Hall Master? Ha!"

"To be polite, call him hall master. If you make me unhappy, let him be buried!"

A helmsman below said regretfully: "By the way, why didn't King Chu kill Chu Qingyan and Chu Junyan? That would be easy for us."

Wu Yao glanced at the helmsman and said disdainfully:

"Do you think the King of Chu is a pig brain like you? After killing Chu Qingyan and Chu Junyan, they still have a venerable person in Lingzhou who is at the peak of the Dharma Master Realm and the late Dharma Master Realm, with generals and hundreds of thousands of them under his command. Wouldn’t the army go crazy? How much strength will King Chu have left to allow the Ximen family to reap the benefits after fighting to the death?

Don't forget that there are those big forces outside Lingzhou who are eyeing him. They wish that King Chu's vitality would be seriously injured and then he could easily enter Lingzhou. "

Wu Yao snorted coldly. What should we do now? Contact the Ximen family and work with them to stop the King of Chu? "

Chen Feihai looked at Wu Yao and said, but facing the powerful strength of the Chu Palace, he was really unsure that he could stop him.

Everyone's eyes were also looking at Wu Yao.

Wu Yao slowly shook his head and said: "No, we surrender to King Chu!"

"Um?"

Everyone:? ? ?

"The King of Chu wants to quickly unify Lingzhou. Although the strength of the Chu King's Palace is amazing, but if he wants to quickly control the entire Lingzhou, the number of people under the Chu King's command is far from insufficient. And we are sitting in Linghong Mansion and Lingcang Mansion, and we are familiar with each mansion. Under the circumstances of each county, we must surrender to the King of Chu with sincerity, and the King of Chu will definitely accept us, whether it is for sincerity or to win people's hearts!"

Wu Yao opened the golden fan and fanned it gently, showing a very confident expression.

One helmsman was confused and said: "Flag Master, I heard that King Chu has always been kind and generous to the people and has a reputation for benevolence. If he heard about some of our unscrupulous deeds, he would be determined to kill us and would not accept our surrender." what to do?"

"That makes sense. Wouldn't that be throwing yourself into a trap?"

The helmsmen nodded one after another. They are all people who follow Chen Feihai and Wu Yao. They don't care much about morality in doing things. To achieve their goals, they should do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

Wu Yao snorted coldly and said calmly and confidently:

"If we can't sincerely surrender to the King of Chu, then we will contact those big forces outside the state!"

"Why don't you contact the Ximen family?" one person asked doubtfully.

"The Ximen family itself is in danger. If he wants to take refuge with the King of Chu like us, and turns around and sells us to the King of Chu, wouldn't it be a huge loss?"

"Wu Yao, can you contact those big forces outside the state?"

Chen Feihai asked with a frown, a gloom flashing in his eyes.

Wu Yao raised his head slightly, showing a proud look: "Yesterday, someone from the Huanzhou Black Jiao Gang contacted me."

"Black Dragon Gang!"

Everyone was immediately shocked and even a little excited.

The Black Dragon Gang is a level stronger than their Zhongyi Hall, and they are the only two top-level forces in Huanzhou.

Huanzhou is larger than Lingzhou, with eleven prefectures in total. Within a few months of the chaos, the Black Dragon Gang had already taken control of the five prefectures, and was extremely powerful.

"What did they say?"

Chen Feihai frowned even deeper because the Black Dragon Gang did not contact him.

Wu Yao showed a sneer, whether it was because of Chen Hai or the Black Jiao Gang.

"They said they are willing to cooperate with us. As long as they agree to give them a land, they will send people to help us resist the King of Chu!"

"Really, that's great!"

Several helmsmen and big bosses showed expressions of surprise.

"Hmph! I have bad intentions!"

Chen Feihai said gloomily.

Wu Yao looked at Chen Feihai and followed his words, smiling:

"That's right, if they let them enter Lingzhou with bad intentions, then we, Ling Cang Mansion and Hong Mansion, will not be able to save any one of them, so we might as well surrender to the King of Chu.

At least in terms of the reputation of the King of Chu, it is still very good. If the King of Chu accepts us, nothing will happen to us. If the King of Chu does not accept it, we can only choose the Black Dragon Gang. "

Seeing Wu Yao's friendly expression, Chen Feihai nodded slightly, and his gloomy expression gradually softened.

"So what do we do now?"

Wu Yao said firmly:

"Since we have decided to surrender to the King of Chu, we will immediately write to the King of Chu to express our intentions. If the situation is not right, we will contact the Black Dragon Gang immediately."

A helmsman said cautiously:

"Well, Flag Master, why don't we be more reserved? Why don't we let the King of Chu come to recruit us first, and then we surrender? This will also show that the King of Chu pays attention to it, and our status will be higher when we enter the King of Chu's palace. "

"Are you doubting my decision?"

Wu Yao stood up with a smile on his face, walked to the helmsman, and patted his face.

The helmsman turned pale with fright. He quickly knelt on the ground and slapped his mouth vigorously with both hands. He trembled and begged for mercy:

"Subordinates talk too much, flag master, calm down!"

Wu Yao stroked his head, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a cruel look in his eyes, and responded with a smile, his voice was bone-chilling:

"Haha, you should remember from now on that our Zhongyi Hall is no longer there. If the King of Chu really accepts us, all our previous habits must be changed. If you cause any trouble to me, the King of Chu will not kill you. I’ll kill the whole family!”

"Yes Yes Yes!"

These people all knew Wu Yao well, and they all nodded in awe.

Just when Wu Yao of Zhongyi Hall sent a letter to Li Yuan, in a dense mountain forest twenty miles away from Red Eagle City, more than twenty people gathered together and quietly watched the four major gates of Red Eagle City reveal in the distance. The majestic aura of the Venerable.

In the center, the auras of the four people are most prominent, all of them are Dharma Master Realm venerables, three men and one woman.

In addition, there is a woman who is particularly eye-catching. She has a beautiful face and a cold expression. She is hunted by the forest wind and her red dress is swaying like fire.

Xu Fengwu, the daughter of Xu Kuang from the Black Dragon Gang!

An old man in black clothes with a long beard looked at Red Eagle City and said with a faint smile:

"Huo Qiu and Zhong Cui of the Zhenguo Palace, Li Mu and Liu Qingquan of the Prince of Chu Palace, hehe, it seems that the King of Chu already knows that we are here to assassinate Chu Qingyan and Chu Junyan."

"I just said that my trip was in vain. I insist on coming to Lingzhou to have a look. If King Chu is really that stupid, Chu Junyan will still be defeated by him!"

The voice buzzed, and a fierce man with a height of nine feet and a stout body like a giant bear snorted coldly.

"Then we retreat?"

The last man in a robe at the Dharma Realm level had stern eyes.

Since the King of Chu guessed that someone was coming to assassinate him and went there himself, this is not called an assassination, but an attack.

How could there be a conflict between the Zhenguo Mansion and the royal family?

Then the three of them looked at the last female venerable.

This female venerable stayed quietly behind Xu Fengwu.

"It's a pity that I originally wanted to learn Yuwen Chengdu's strength!"

In the battle, Yuwen Chengdu used his early Dharma Master Realm to kill Jiang Zhu who was in the late Dharma Master Realm, and then used another move to blast Wang Can who was in the middle Dharma Master Realm. This was quite dazzling, and his achievements were already listed in the intelligence of major forces.

The fierce man turned his eyes to Xu Fengwu and said with no concealment of dissatisfaction:

"Hey, why are you, a dignified young lady from the Black Jiao Gang, here? If we are exposed, wouldn't you be a burden?"

This fierce man and the old man with a long beard are from the Fengzhou Alliance.

The man in the long gown is from the Huanzhou Alliance like Xu Fengwu.

"Because I also thought that our assassination was unsuccessful, but some old-timers in the gang didn't believe it, so I came to take a look. Now it seems that my judgment was correct."

A cold voice sounded, Xu Fengwu met the fierce man and said calmly.

After hearing this, the fierce man was not angry but happy, showing a smile that could scare a child to tears, and gave Xu Fengwu a thumbs up:

"Hey, it seems that we both have the same idea. As expected of the eldest lady of the Black Dragon Gang, she is very brave!"

"Then let's go back and don't waste time here."

The long-bearded old man's expression was very indifferent. It didn't matter whether the assassination of Chu Qingyan and Chu Junyan was successful or not. After all, this was just an opportunity. It didn't matter if he succeeded or not.

"Well, let's go." The man in the long gown responded. He didn't want to waste time.

Seeing the three parties about to leave, Xu Fengwu's cold voice sounded again:

"Leave Lingzhou now. I hope you won't go back the same way, and it's best to spread out."

"oh?"

The three of them stopped and turned to look at Xu Fengwu.

"The King of Chu could guess that we would send people to assassinate Chu Qingyan and Chu Junyan. How could King Ming, who has always been our opponent, not guess that he would probably send people to intercept and kill us at the border of Lingzhou, especially King Ming and King Chu We are all members of the royal family, and the next one King Chu will deal with is us. He is probably secretly searching for our traces now, and will join forces with King Ming to deal with us."

"Oh, that Su Qingxian can really resist, he hasn't been poisoned yet!"

There was a hint of fear in the fierce man's eyes. It was obvious that he had suffered from Su Qingxian.

"But it's almost over. Since King Ming wants to play slowly with us, we will play slowly with him and let his subordinates die one by one!"

"Aren't you ready to leave?"

The man in the long gown noticed Xu Fengwu's word "you."

"Of course I won't leave with you. The target is too big, and you'd better notify the alliance to send someone to ambush them and kill them!"

Xu Fengwu strode her slender thighs and turned around to leave with the female venerable behind her. There were five masters from the Black Dragon Gang following closely behind her.

"Okay, let's have some fun, it's boring anyway."

"If you really meet someone from King Ming, remember to send a signal. If you can help, you can help."

"That's natural, kill them instead!"

The three of them exchanged words and quickly left in other directions.

The mountains are densely forested and the trees are luxuriant, and the roars of various monsters and beasts are constant for dozens of miles. The Black Dragon Gang and the others followed Xu Fengwu to the top of the mountain, with a wide view and an unobstructed view of Red Eagle City.

"Miss, people from Zhongyi Hall just received news that Wu Yao plans to defect to the King of Chu."

A figure walked through the woods at high speed and half-knelt in front of Xu Fengwu.

Xu Fengwu chuckled: "Wu Yao is quite interesting. When Lingmeng fought, he chose to stay in Lingcang Mansion to guard. In this way, no matter whether Lingmeng won or lost, he could advance and retreat freely."

"Then let's deal with Wu Yao?"

Among the followers, a burly man showed strong murderous intent in his eyes!

Xu Fengwu looked at Red Eagle City with a pair of beautiful eyes showing a hint of interest:

"I have learned about the King of Chu. It is impossible for him to accept hidden dangers like Wu Yao and Chen Feihai, so the King of Chu will probably deal with these two people in advance!"

The middle-aged female venerable behind Xu Fengwu said:

“Miss, the gang leader said that the Ximen family has now approached the Zhou family.

The Zhou family is the top power in Huanzhou and the Black Dragon Gang. They are in a cooperative but competitive relationship.

"The Ximen family wants to lead their clan members to hide, and they need someone to help them clear away their traces. As a reward, the land of Lingzhou and the two prefectures will naturally be given, and it will make the King of Chu's life difficult, so why wouldn't they do it!"

"The Zhou family is looking for the Ximen family, but now Zhongyi Tang is also preparing to defect to the King of Chu, so what should we do?"

"We can also find King Chu!"

Her dark cloud-like hair is blowing in the wind, her red clothes are flowing, her face is stunning, and her eyes are so bright that it makes people feel dazzling and heart-stopping!
