Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

"Prince Ming is here?"

Li Yuan and Jia Xu were surprised. Why did King Ming send people at this time?

Looking for cooperation with Li Yuan?

"Miss Xu, please go back. I will give you an answer another day."

Li Yuan just had an excuse to send Xu Fengwu away.

"Okay, don't forget, Your Highness King Chu."

Xu Fengwu didn't show any signs of anxiety, and her leaving figure was swaying.

Soon, the guards brought in Prince Ming's people.

The moment he stepped into the lobby, a rather thin scholar stood out in Li Yuan's eyes. Behind him was a middle-aged man with an aura of abyss, a venerable man!

Li Yuan's eyes moved and he looked at the scholar.

Su Xianqing?

Su Xianqing raised his head, showing his pale face, and smiled at Li Yuan above him:

"Su Xianqing pays homage to the King of Chu, cough cough..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xianqing skillfully picked up the white handkerchief, covered his lips, and coughed lightly.

"Cangpeng pays homage to the King of Chu." The venerable man also introduced him.

"Mr. Su, Lord Cang, please sit down."

Seeing this, Li Yuan asked Su Xianqing and the venerable people behind him to sit down.

Jia Xu looked at Su Xianqing on the side, his frown never relieved. He could smell a familiar smell on Su Xianqing's body.

"Thank you, King Chu. His Highness King Ming asked Su to hand it over to His Highness King Chu."

Su Qingxian, who sat down next to him, took out a picture stone.

Li Yuan waved his hand gently, and the image stone in Su Qingxian's hand quickly floated into his hand. True energy poured in, and the image stone suddenly bloomed with light, revealing the tall and burly figure of King Ming. His eyes were bright, and he said in a dull voice:

"Lao Wu, I want to ask you for a favor. You also saw Xian Qing's condition. He was poisoned a few months ago."

Just after saying these words, the murderous aura that burst out from King Ming's eyes was enough to scare anyone's heart.

"In the past few months, I have been looking for famous doctors, but they have not been able to cure Xianqing. I really have no choice. Kyoto is too far away. The journey to send Xianqing back to the capital is long and dangerous. Prince Xuan and Prince Yu are also in chaos, so I By sending Xianqing to your territory, one is to ask you to give him a quiet environment, and the other is to see if you can cure the poison in Xianqing's body in Lingzhou."

King Ming's resolute face showed a look of deep helplessness. He really had no choice now. He had already sensed that a war between the two major alliances was imminent. Su Xianqing was getting weaker and weaker now, and even the evil spirits in the army could not bear it. If a war broke out, Evil spirits are everywhere, and if they accidentally invade the body, they will die.

With chaos everywhere in Yizhou, he was afraid that he would not be able to protect Su Xianqing.

The Ming King on the photo stone was very decisive and disappeared after speaking. He knew that Li Yuan understood what he meant and believed that Li Yuan would try his best to help him.

"Wen He, can you take a look at it for Mr. Su?"

Li Yuan closed the photo stone. He had also heard about Su Xianqing and looked at Jia Xu next to him.

Su Xianqing on the side also looked at Jia Xu with hopeful eyes.

The main reason why he was able to come was because of Jia Xu. According to the intelligence, it was learned that Jia Xu could poison Chu Qingyan and Chu Junyan silently, and he was probably also a poison master.

He knows how to use medicine if he knows poison, maybe he has some idea.

Su Xianqing was helpless now. As the poisoning became deeper and deeper, his head became dizzy.

Jia Xu nodded slightly, came to Su Xianqing's side, and said softly:

"Mr. Su, relax and let me check it out."

"There is Mr. Lao Jia." Su Xianqing cupped his hands.

Jia Xu raised his hand and put it on Su Xianqing's shoulder, and a gentle force of true energy slowly entered Su Xianqing's body.

Su Xianqing's originally pale face suddenly softened a little. His eyes were a little brighter, and he had a little more confidence in Jia Xu.

After a while, Jia Xu slowly opened his eyes, looked at Li Yuan who was walking by and Su Xianqing who was full of expectations, nodded slowly and said:

"Mr. Su's illness can be cured!"

"Seriously!" Su Xianqing stood up with a cry, opened his eyes wide, and the light in his eyes was particularly dazzling. The Venerable beside him also showed excitement and looked at Jia Xu with piercing eyes.

Li Yuan also smiled.

Jia Xu looked at Su Xianqing and sighed inwardly. Although he had only met Su Xianqing once, he knew from past intelligence what kind of person he was, or that this method was a kind of torture for him, and he would not even do it.

Su Xianqing quickly took a step back and bowed to Jia Xu:

"Please ask Mr. Jia to save Su. Su will be very grateful. Ahem..."

Jia Xu took a deep breath and said, "I already understand Mr. Su's poison, but is it called Ehun Wuye?

This is an extremely rare poison. The poisoned person will not die immediately, but will only die slowly. There is no cure. In the later stage, the mind will become increasingly unclear and it is easy to fall into coma. "

"Yes, yes, it is this poison!"

Su Xianqing was overjoyed when he heard Jia Xu's introduction.

"I don't know when Mr. Su started to fall into coma."

Facing Jia Xu’s question, the venerable person behind Su Xianqing replied:

"Ten days ago, Mr. Su suddenly fell into a coma for three hours, and five days ago, he suddenly fell into a coma for seven hours."

A sigh appeared in Jia Xu's eyes, "Mr. Su, I have a way to cure your poison."

"Mr. Jia, please speak!"

"Fight fire with fire!"

"Please Mr. Jia, please save me!" Su Xianqing said solemnly.

Jia Xu sighed: "But now Mr. Su's body is getting weaker and weaker. He has been poisoned for too long and cannot resist the poison I made. Mr. Su needs to use medicine to warm up the depleted vitality bit by bit and recuperate his body until You must meet my detoxification requirements, otherwise you will die from poison if you use it easily."

Su Xianqing looked stunned and asked:

"I wonder how long it will take to recuperate?"

"It will take at least three years."

"Three years?" Su Xianqing's eyes dimmed. It had been too long, and the Yizhou War could not last so long.

The venerable person behind him showed a happy smile. The Fengzhou Alliance spent a lot of money to buy Ehun Wuye specially for Su Xianqing. Before, all the medical doctors could do nothing, but now the disease has been delayed to the advanced stage, and it only takes three years to cure. Well, this is already a gift from God. If His Highness King Ming knows about it, he will definitely be very happy.

Li Yuan and Jia Xu looked at Su Xianqing quietly, waiting for his decision.

Su Xianqing was silent for a long time, and then bowed to Jia Xu again:

"Please help me, Mr. Jia, to keep me awake during the last period of time!"

"Mr. Su, no!" The venerable man behind him was shocked and immediately understood what Su Xianqing meant.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ming asked you to treat his fate."

Su Xianqing's pale face showed a faint smile:

"Master Cang, don't be anxious. Xianqing's life is life, but the lives of other soldiers are not life?"

Then he turned to Li Yuan and Jia Xu and said:

"Ever since I was poisoned by Wuye, His Highness Prince Ming has spent a lot of time looking for famous medicine men and countless treasures of heaven and earth. However, the poison is getting deeper day by day, and I have gradually become a burden to His Highness Prince Ming. .

The officers and men in the army sympathized with Xianqing and comforted him. Xianqing really did not want to rest in Lingzhou and watched the soldiers fight bloody battles on the front line.

Ahem... King Ming has always cherished his generals, because my condition has become more and more irritable, and in the war with the alliance, the deaths of generals have made him more and more irritable now.

Prince Xuan is the most ruthless and Prince Yu is the most patient. Among the three kings, the first to start the decisive battle must be His Highness Prince Ming.

The situation on the battlefield is changing, and no one can make all the plans. The Yizhou war is imminent, Gong Hong is alone and has no skills, and the Fengzhou Alliance still needs him to lead the overall situation.

Ahem... The Huanzhou Alliance has figured out the character of His Highness Prince Ming. If they deliberately set a trap, His Highness Prince Ming has an arrogant temperament and will inevitably fall into the trap. However, General Ji has just joined His Highness Prince Ming's command, but he has nothing to say. It would be good if I were by your Highness' side and someone else could give you advice. "

"As long as the Huanzhou Alliance is solved, Xianqing's life cannot be lower than the thousands of troops of His Highness King Ming."

Su Xianqing's face became paler and paler. He told Li Yuan to explain it to the venerable people behind him.

Cang Peng looked at Su Xianqing's emaciated appearance, with a hint of pity in his eyes, and opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

His Highness Prince Ming has already left the battlefield, and the war is about to break out. He originally wanted to rush back to Blue Wing Fortress after settling Su Xianqing.

Cang Peng looked at Li Yuan and asked:

"Can King Chu send troops to support King Ming?"

Before Li Yuan could answer, Su Xianqing was the first to shake his head:

"It's useless. The Huanzhou Alliance will not let King Chu send troops to assist His Highness King Ming. Most of their main forces are attacking Yizhou. The forces left to guard Huanzhou must have been assembled. In the near future, they will gather together with Huanzhou and Lingzhou border to prevent the King of Chu from invading."

"If the King of Chu sends troops, it will be in line with their wishes. To send troops without controlling the rear is actually a taboo for military strategists. The threat to them is much smaller than the threat of the King of Chu controlling Lingzhou."

"False and false, true and true, true and false. At this moment, His Highness the King of Chu, it is best to take control of Lingzhou to eliminate hidden dangers in the rear, and use the army to roam among the various prefectures, making it difficult for the Huanzhou Alliance to predict, with scruples, and the troops dare not separate. , is the best help to us.”

Su Xianqing knew that King Ming also knew that King Ming could be defeated, still had the ability to retreat, and had the strength to turn defeat into victory.

But the King of Chu is not strong enough now, so if he loses, he will really lose.

The King of Chu is the last resort for the King of Ming. If the King of Chu easily sends troops without taking control of Lingzhou, which will vote the determination of the King of Chu and the King of Ming to unite, the Huanzhou Alliance and the Fengzhou Alliance are likely to shift their strategic goals and solve the King of Chu first. After capturing Lingzhou, Lingzhou, Huanzhou, and Fengzhou will unite, Yizhou will be blocked from all directions, and King Ming will truly be doomed!

Jia Xu said: "Now that King Ming is heading to Blue Wing Fortress, the Fengzhou Alliance may secretly send troops to support the Huanzhou Alliance, so King Ming needs to be more careful."

Su Xianqing nodded. This was what worried him the most. His eyes turned to Li Yuan.

"King Chu, once the Huanzhou Alliance and Fengzhou Alliance attack with all their strength, His Highness Prince Ming will not be able to hold on for long."

Li Yuan understood what Su Xianqing meant, thought about the current situation in Lingzhou, and finally said firmly:

"In one year, at most, I will be able to send troops to attack Huanzhou!"

"Seriously?" Su Xianqing was overjoyed. He knew what Li Yuan meant. At that time, the King of Chu was already ready for everything.

Li Yuan nodded slowly and said:

"That's right."

When Jia Xu saw Li Yuan's appearance, he sighed inwardly. His Highness was still not cruel enough.

King Ming was able to hold off Fengzhou Alliance and Huanzhou Alliance for so long, and his strength was more than five times stronger than that of Prince Chu's Palace. Even if King Ming was defeated, King Ming's remaining strength may not be weaker than that of Prince Chu's Palace.

Su Xianqing's coming today may not have another meaning.

"Mr. Su, I have a way to keep you awake, but your current body can no longer survive for half a year. If you don't want to fall into a coma again, you have at most three months to live."

"Please help me, Mr. Jia, Su will be grateful!"

Su Xianqing leaned over and bowed again.

……………………

It was getting dark. Su Xianqing stayed in the mansion for a day and couldn't wait to leave.

Calling the wind and hunting, two figures flew very fast in the night sky. Su Xianqing stayed beside Cang Peng, and the majestic true energy formed a shield to cover Su Xianqing, preventing the strong wind from the sky from blowing to Su Xianqing.

Now Su Xianqing's face is no longer as pale as before, and his face is also a little rosy. He is holding the medicine Jia Xu gave him tightly in his hand.

Cang Peng looked a little embarrassed when he saw the excited Su Xianqing:

"Mr. Su, His Highness King Ming wants you to stay in Lingzhou to recuperate your body and mind. I am taking you back again, for fear of being scolded by King Ming."

"Master Cang, don't worry. I will bear all the consequences myself. Your Highness, I will explain it to you."

Su Xianqing said confidently, and soon he turned to look at Linghong Capital City, which was getting farther and farther away, and said in a somewhat inexplicable tone:

"Master Cang, what do you think of King Chu?"

"King Chu?"

"He is a good prince, quite benevolent and righteous."

Cang Peng recalled Li Yuan's behavior today and said with friendly eyes.

"Yes, thank you King Chu for your help this time."

Su Xianqing nodded slightly. For some reason, when he saw Li Yuan and Jia Xu for the first time today, he suddenly had an illusion in his heart that His Highness Prince Ming's biggest opponent was Prince Chu! But he was secretly wary in his heart. He needed to remind Gong Hong to pay more attention to King Chu after he returned.

Cang Peng showed excitement and said: "The King of Chu has made it clear that it will take one year to send troops. We can definitely solve the Huanzhou Alliance within this half year."

Su Xianqing's eyes became profound: "Perhaps we should ask His Highness to change our strategy and focus on dealing with Fengzhou first, and Huanzhou later!"

"Oh? Why?" Cang Peng asked. This was originally the strategy formulated by His Highness Prince Ming.

"Now the King of Chu is taking control of Lingzhou, and the Huanzhou Alliance has divided its forces to prevent the King of Chu. Their forces are scattered. Isn't it the best time for us to solve the Huanzhou Alliance?"

Su Xianqing shook his head and said: "Jia Xu just reminded me that the Fengzhou Alliance probably thought that we were fighting against Huanzhou and secretly sent troops to support us. Let's attack in the east and in the west!"

"In three months, I will try my best to win the Fengzhou Alliance for His Highness!"

"Mr. Su, you..." Cang Peng thought of something and let out another deep sigh.

"Lord Cang, there is no need to lament. It is an honor for Xianqing to be able to contribute to His Highness' great cause of unification!"

"If we solve the Fengzhou Alliance, will Emperor Yao take action?"

"No, because Qingzhou is faster than us, and Chu Junyan will return to Qingzhou soon."

………………

"My hero is his enemy, my enemy is his hero."

Li Yuan put his hands behind his back, looked up at the moonlit sky, and sighed.

Behind him, Jia Xu gently shook his feather fan and said with a serious face:

"Your Highness, Prince Ming is about to take action."

"It seems that my brother, the king, is very confident." Li Yuan showed no surprise and his face was very calm.

"Chu Junyan rushes to Qingzhou. Then the strength of the three kings will no longer be hidden."

Jia Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, the three kings' methods were unfathomable, and this was their real explosion.

Li Yuan said quietly: "Chu Qingyan's purpose of leaving Lingzhou has been achieved."

"Wen He, you are really sure to solve the problem of Hun Wuye."

Li Yuan turned to look at Jia Xu, worry in his eyes.

Jia Xu smiled and nodded: "Your Highness, don't worry, I am still sure to cure this poison, but it can't take too long."

"That's good. We also need to tell Wen Ruo and others to be careful."

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had summoned a talented doctor quickly.

Otherwise, there will be many poisonous schemes for the enemy, and it will be impossible to guard against them.

Even the most trusted advisor of King Ming was poisoned.

"Wenhe, do you think Su Xianqing will continue to attack Huanzhou after leaving this time?"

Jia Xu listened and shook his head slowly: "Su Xianqing has learned from His Highness that it will take another year for His Highness to take control of Lingzhou. It is similar to his expectation. There should be no rush to capture Huanzhou. It is likely to start from Fengzhou."

"In half a year, at most half a year, I will send troops to Huanzhou and win it in one battle!"

Li Yuan's eyes showed a fierce fighting spirit.

Jia Xu nodded slightly, it was time for His Highness to entertain Xu Fengwu for so long.

………………

It was late at night, and Li Yuan had returned to his dormitory, sitting cross-legged with his knees crossed. An extremely pure essence flowed on his body. While practicing, Li Yuan's consciousness had returned to the Chinese Heroes Summoning Roulette in his mind. middle.

The roulette wheel rotated slightly, and the light flickered.

(2) Lingrong Mansion is under control and can conduct an indiscriminate summons. (to be called)

Although most of the Ximen family left Lingzhou, Yuwen Chengdu solved the Ximen family in Lingyan Mansion, and the senior officials of Zhongyi Hall who stayed in Linghong Mansion were also imprisoned by Jia Xu, so they were all solved.

The Lieyan Sect has taken refuge with Li Yuan, and the Lingrong Mansion has taken control.

Li Yuan can summon four heroes this time.

There are also three designated area summons.

"Roulette, let's do an indiscriminate summons first!"

Li Yuan was full of confidence and summoned outstanding people four times, resulting in an unprecedented bumper harvest.

White area: strong generals and commanders;

Cyan area: civil servants and counselors;

Black area: historical female human beings;

Red area: special talents;

Yellow area: Mixed talents;

"drop!"

After Li Yuan gave orders to the roulette wheel in his mind, the roulette wheel magnified and bloomed with bright light, spinning rapidly, and a colorful pointer appeared, pointing to the blurry color field.

"stop!"

As Li Yuan recited silently, the speed of the roulette wheel gradually decreased, and the pointer slowly slid to the white area.

The white area suddenly glowed with white light, and the crystals within the range brightened.

A crystal sparkled with extreme white light and rose into the sky. The white crystal turned into countless crystal powders to form a white card!

All he saw was a figure of a fierce general with an eight-foot body, thin three-willow mustache, eyebrows at the temples, phoenix eyes facing the sky, a face as heavy as a jujube, lips as if painted with vermilion, and a big sword in his hand!

"hiss!"

When Li Yuan saw this person, he tightened his hands and took a breath.

Li Yuan was very sure that this person was holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword!
