Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

The moon was bright and clear, and in the Lord's Mansion of Red Eagle City, the breeze blew across the lake. Two men and two women were chatting happily in the pavilion in the center of the lake.

Li Yuan and Jia Xu, Xu Fengwu and Shan Yi.

Xun Yu needs to deal with government affairs.

Jia Xu shook her feather fan lightly and tasted tea lightly. Aunt Shan remained silent and looked at Li Yuan from the corner of her eye from time to time.

The only speakers were Li Yuan and Xu Fengwu.

"I heard that the Zhou family has approached the Ximen family?"

"It's not the Zhou family looking for the Ximen family, but the Ximen family looking for the Zhou family."

"oh?"

Li Yuan's heart moved. If the priorities were different, then the situation would be different.

Xu Fengwu's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the tiny moonlight shone on her body, raising a bright smile.

"King Chu, how are you thinking about it?"

“There are always important things to think about in life.”

Li Yuan paused in his toasting motion, showing a solemn expression.

Aunt Shan frowned. They were very pressed for time and had been waiting all day.

Seeing Li Yuan's solemn expression, Xu Fengwu raised a perfect expression on her lips, indicating that King Chu had given it serious consideration.

"King Chu, you don't have much time. If the Zhou family really joins forces with the Ximen family to enter Lingzhou, other major forces will smell the fishy smell like cats and keep invading Lingzhou. You will be in trouble by then."

Li Yuan looked at Xu Fengwu with a sincere smile on his face:

"I wonder how the Black Dragon Gang can help me prevent the Zhou family from entering Lingzhou."

Xu Fengwu smiled slightly and said confidently:

"As long as the King of Chu agrees to make me his concubine, and with the cooperation of King Ming, our three major forces are enough to destroy the Huanzhou Alliance in one fell swoop, not to mention the Zhou family!"

Li Yuan felt cold in his heart, he was so calculating!

Although King Ming is now facing resistance from the three major states of Fengzhou, Huanzhou, and Yizhou, the pressure on King Ming will be much less after the Huanzhou Alliance is resolved, but who will benefit the most?

Now that the Chu Palace's strength is insufficient to control Lingzhou, how can they enter Huanzhou? And King Ming still has to concentrate his forces to deal with Fengzhou and Yizhou, and he will not easily divide his troops and enter Huanzhou.

So who will take Huanzhou?

Black Dragon Gang!

This idea came to Li Yuan's mind instantly, but Li Yuan immediately showed surprise and said:

"Okay, why don't Miss Xu go back and inform Gang Leader Xu first, and say that I agree. After I and Prince Ming discuss it, the Black Dragon Gang will secretly cooperate with me and Prince Ming to find an opportunity to eliminate the Huanzhou Alliance in one fell swoop."

Xu Fengwu's smile paused, her eyes flickered, and she sighed:

"King Chu, I'm afraid my plans will change when I go back."

"Oh, why?" Li Yuan looked at Xu Fengwu nervously with bright eyes.

"Your Highness, let me tell you honestly. Although my father acquiesced in my search for you this time, the condition is that I will be made a concubine. Only after I truly become a princess will they feel free to cooperate with your highness. Otherwise, they will marry me to the Zhou family. Young Master Zhou Yan will make the relationship between the Black Dragon Gang and the Zhou family closer. When the time comes..."

Not to mention the consequences, Xu Fengwu looked at Li Yuan with a troubled expression.

"I see?"

Li Yuan tightened his grip on the jade cup and looked at Jia Xu unconsciously.

Jia Xu also showed a solemn look, and the two looked at each other not knowing how to express it.

Xu Fengwu suddenly stood up, smiled at Li Yuan and clasped her fists:

"Your Highness, please think about it slowly. I hope you can give me a result tomorrow and let me give an explanation to my father. The little woman will leave first."

"Aunt Shan, let's go."

Aunt Shan was still confused. Shouldn't she be forcing King Chu to agree at this time? Why did you leave at such a critical moment?

Li Yuan stood up and quickly asked, "Miss Xu, won't you stay for a while?"

"No, it's getting late. Let's go back and rest."

"Okay, I will give it to you."

Li Yuan said with regret on his face.

After Xu Fengwu left the house, Li Yuan slowly walked back to the Huxin Pavilion. At this moment, Jia Xu was smiling and poured a cup of hot tea for Li Yuan.

"Your Highness, this woman's ability to advance and retreat is no small matter."

"Every bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit."

Li Yuan shook his head slightly, took the hot tea, and sat upright.

This is just a woman who is doing it for her own benefit.

When Xu Fengwu said she wanted to marry Zhou Yan, Li Yuan already understood.

Another woman with ambition.

After joining the Zhou family, everything about her from the Black Dragon Gang will slowly dissipate, and what right does she have in the Zhou family?

If she becomes his princess, she will be the link between the Chu Palace and the Black Dragon Gang.

No need to guess, her next step is to use her name to return to the Black Jiao Gang and join forces to solve the Huanzhou Alliance. When Li Yuan cannot go to Huanzhou, who else can he trust besides Xu Fengwu? What else can he trust? Wu takes control of the Black Dragon Gang, and Huanzhou also falls into her hands.

For Li Yuan, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and Li Yuan will not be angered.

Jia Xu also saw her intention, so it was not simple.

It's a pity that Li Yuan was already prepared. He looked at the night sky and smiled at Jia Xu:

"I wonder if Yuwen Chengdu and Sect Leader Liu have reached the Ximen family?"

As soon as Chu Junyan left, Prince Ming's eyes were fixed on the relationship between Lingzhou and Huanzhou. No matter how anxious the Zhou family was, they still had to prepare for a few days.

It's a pity that the Ximen family's contact with the Zhou family was discovered by the net. With Xu Fengwu's confirmation, the Ximen family will be destroyed if not now.

………………

Lingyan Mansion, Zhenxi City, where the Ximen family is located. The huge manor is brightly lit and surrounded by soldiers patrolling and guarding.

The Ximen family, which originally had a large number of people and was bustling with people, became deserted.

In the lobby, Ximen Lintian closed his eyes tightly and looked calm, because he had received the news that the second ancestor Ximen had led his tribe to leave Huanzhou.

There were three key members of the Ximen family below, and they all had a hint of anxiety on their faces.

They knew that the Second Ancestor Ximen had led a large number of clan members to leave, and that staying here would most likely lead to death. But now with the help of the Zhou family, they still had a chance to survive, so who would want to die.

"Master, when will the Zhou family send someone here? Now that Chu Junyan has left Lingzhou, King Chu will attack our Ximen family in a few days."

"That's right, if the Zhou family comes a day earlier, we will be safe for a day."

Ximen Lintian looked at the anxious expressions of the three people below, and the smile on his face had not yet spread. Suddenly, two terrifying auras shot straight into the sky, overwhelming the entire Ximen family!

Everyone in the Ximen family was frozen by the terrifying aura, unable to move their bodies, and their eyes were extremely frightened.

The entire Zhenxicheng people were awakened, and it was like a heavy mountain weighing on their hearts, extremely heavy.

tread!

tread!

The huge Ximen family was extremely silent. Two footsteps sounded. As the footsteps got closer and closer, the pressure became heavier and heavier!

In the lobby, the three backbones standing there were blushing, their true energy was running wildly in their bodies, and they used all their strength to turn their heads to look at the visitor.

puff!

puff!

puff!

Having just seen a pair of golden boots, my body could no longer resist the terrifying pressure of the intruder. My heart exploded and I fell to the ground dead.

Not just them, the moment Yuwen Chengdu and Liu Qingquan stepped into the lobby, the entire Ximen family fell down and died silently.

Ximen Lintian, who was still struggling to hold on, saw the arrival of Yuwen Chengdu and Liu Qingquan. His expression changed, but it instantly turned into relief.

"You are finally here."

"Master Ximen, long time no see!"

Liu Qingquan looked at Ximen Lintian above him and clasped his fists slightly.

As the leaders of the three major forces in Lingzhou, they naturally have a good relationship.

It's a pity that Ximen Lintian, who was so high-spirited at the scene, disappeared, but Yushu Linfeng himself is still there!

"Sect Master Liu, you made the right choice, congratulations!"

Ximen Lintian congratulated, then turned his head with difficulty to look at the majestic Yuwen Chengdu, his mouth moved slightly, and a weak voice came out:

"Where is King Chu?"

Yuwen Chengdu's eyes were bright and powerful, making people afraid to show their strength.

"Do you want to see King Chu whenever you want?"

"Haha, King Chu is probably afraid of another ambush from the Ximen family, or perhaps the Zhou family has already arrived. If he is careful enough, my Ximen family will not be unjustly defeated."

Ximen Lintian smiled, his face turned extremely pale, and finally he slightly cupped his hands and said:

"General Yuwen, please tell the King of Chu that there is still 70% of the wealth of the Ximen family that has been hidden for hundreds of years in the ancestral hall. I hope the King of Chu will let our Ximen family go!"

Yuwen Chengdu frowned and stared at the majestic Ximen Lintian. The people of the Ximen family didn't take away all the family treasures, but left 70% for His Highness?

Ximen Lintian faced Yu Wen Chengdu's sharp gaze with a calm expression. This was the preparation of his Ximen family. If the Zhou family could stop the King of Chu, he could rely on these wealth to slowly rise.

If the King of Chu comes to destroy it in advance, just like now, give it to the King of Chu so that he will no longer pursue the Ximen family who left.

Liu Qingquan on the side was not surprised, because it is normal for big forces to lose in battles and either be wiped out or hide in the world, and then spend hundreds of years reaching their peak, waiting for the opportunity to be born again. This is the hidden family. The origin of.

What sounds good is called a hidden world, but what sounds bad is called a former loser.

But it is undeniable that these families are very courageous in order to survive and will not hesitate to give up.

Seeing Liu Qingquan nodding, Yuwen Chengdu buzzed:

"Okay, I will tell His Highness the truth truthfully!"

"Thank you, General Yuwen!"

With a dull sound, Ximen Lintian cut off his meridians and died!

In the distant border of Huanzhou, in the extremely lush dense forest, wild beasts roar and human traces are rare.

Ximen Aolong and some tribesmen were resting by the tree. Suddenly, Ximen Aolong, who was exhausted and no longer had the image of an elegant young man, suddenly woke up. For some reason, he felt a sadness welling up in his heart.

Ximen Aolong seemed to understand something, and two tears fell silently.

"Father……"

"Proud Dragon."

Second Patriarch Ximen sat cross-legged next to him, with a huge spiritual consciousness surrounding him, wary of pursuers.

"Second Ancestor, my father..."

Ximen Aolong's voice was very low, fearing to disturb the resting tribesmen, and his tone was choked with sobs.

"I understand, but Aolong, remember, our Ximen family is extremely lucky to be able to survive. Don't think about revenge. When we find out where we are hiding, I will take the remaining clan members one by one. Come here, and you have to practice well. Only when another Dharma Master emerges from the Ximen family can we return to the world."

"Aolong understands."

Ximen Aolong raised his head, the white tears on his gray face were clearly visible, he clenched his fists and whispered:

"Second Ancestor, my father once said that if the Yu Dynasty is destroyed in the future, our chances will be far greater than now.

But the Dayu Dynasty can really clear up this troubled world, which proves that another generation of heroes of the Li family has emerged, and the Dayu Dynasty will be glorious for at least five hundred years. For the development of the Ximen family, we will send people to the court as officials and borrow the power of the dynasty to strengthen the family. ! "

Second Patriarch Ximen looked at Ximen Aolong with relief, he thought so well.

If you are weak and the enemy is strong, you will lie dormant.

If the enemy is so powerful that you can't defeat it, then join him and use his power to cultivate your family!

Life or death, which family has no enemies when it rises? It is his fate to be destroyed, and it is his fate to be killed. Everything is for the family!

………………

The next day, when the news of the destruction of the Ximen family came out, all the large and small families in all prefectures and counties in Lingzhou panicked. Letters of surrender and petitions arrived like snowflakes falling into the Prince of Chu's Mansion, expressing their support for Chu. Wang’s sincere admiration.

At the same time, the news that the two remaining flag owners of Zhongyi Hall had defected to the King of Chu spread from the palace of the King of Chu.

What does this indicate?

No one in Lingzhou can stop King Chu!

Especially in the past few days, when some forces in other states wanted to take the opportunity to contact some small powerful families in Lingzhou, they all shook their heads firmly while they were still hesitating.

He even reported this kind of thing to Li Yuan as an achievement.

In Ling Cang Mansion, inside Zhongyi Hall, a servant rushed in quickly and said excitedly.

"Master Wu Banner, Master Wu Banner, the King of Chu has agreed to surrender to us!"

Wu Yao, Chen Feihai and all the helmsmen in the lobby finally felt relieved.

They had already learned the news that the Ximen family had been destroyed this morning. They were all so anxious that they came looking for Wu Yao without even eating.

Wu Yao finally let go of the tension in his heart and nodded slightly, as if everything was under control. Looking at the excited expressions of everyone, he sneered:

"Okay, don't worry, go back and have a good rest. Don't bother me in a hurry next time. It seems that some people still don't trust me, Wu!"

These helmsmen and leaders had bright smiles on their faces and congratulated Wu Yao extremely:

"No matter what, Banner Master Wu still had the foresight."

"Our admiration for Lord Wu is so overwhelming!"

"If Wu Banner hadn't surrendered to King Chu in advance, we might have been destroyed like the Ximen family."

"Who dares not to trust Wu Banner Leader now? From now on, when Wu Banner Leader asks us to go east, we will never go west."

"That's right, from now on we will all listen to Banner Master Wu."

Wu Yao listened to everyone's congratulations with a smile on his face.

But the excitement in Chen Feihai's heart disappeared little by little. Listening to the words of these helmsmen and leaders, he suddenly discovered that Wu Yao's reputation was much higher than his. What if the King of Chu valued Wu Yao and ignored himself? manage?

The smart Wu Yao saw the dissatisfaction in Chen Feihai's eyes and instantly understood what Chen Feihai was thinking. His smile turned serious. He suddenly hugged Chen Feihai's shoulders, met Chen Feihai's eyes, and said in a sincere tone:

"Brother Chen, we are both from Zhongyi Hall. We know each other well and are the best brothers. Although we have taken refuge in the King of Chu, there are many capable generals under the King of Chu. If we want to stand out and gain the attention of the King of Chu, our Zhongyi Hall People must work together!”

"That's right, let's work together!"

"Work together!"

These helmsmen and leaders said one after another.

Hearing Wu Yao's words, Chen Feihai was shocked, suddenly realized, nodded heavily and said:

"Work together!"
