Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

"Bang!"

In Prince Heng's Mansion, in the study room, the tables and chairs were arranged. Prince Heng had a gloomy face and clenched his fists tightly.

Lin Shufan entered the palace today, and less than an hour later, Li Yao issued an imperial decree to announce to the world that he would marry Lin Ling'er, the daughter of the prime minister, as the queen!

The whole Kyoto was shocked!

Now officials belonging to the prime minister's line rushed to the mansion to express "congratulations."

"His Royal Highness King Heng, Your Majesty has made a further decree to allow the eldest princess to return to the capital, and also plans to let the eldest princess join the court as an official."

In the corner of the study, a tall shadow wearing eunuch uniform loomed.

"Eldest Princess, that stupid aunt?"

"Is the emperor planning to let her check and balance Gu?"

King Heng sneered again and again.

"It seems that the emperor is still too kind. I thought he would insist on having his own way and let me leave the capital!"

There was a hint of surprise on King Heng's face. He was already prepared for the next step. He would use Li Yao to force him to leave the capital and counterattack, regaining his disadvantage and making the royal family's ancestors lean toward him.

The tall figure in the shadow raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Your Majesty once had such an idea, but was stopped by Lu Xun. He expected that Your Majesty, Prince Heng, would have the support of the ancestors of the royal family to avoid their impression that Your Majesty is a cold-natured person. people."

When King Heng heard Lu Xun's name, a cold light flashed:

"Lu Xun, hehe, he must have been the one who made the emperor's brother win over the fifth brother. He successfully won over Prime Minister Lin."

The tall figure in the shadow spoke again:

"Now His Majesty has gone to Zhenbei Hou Mansion and is preparing to win over Fang Wukui!"

"Fang Wukui!"

King Heng's heart tightened, and he suddenly looked at the figure in the corner:

"really?"

"Of course, if I didn't have to deal with matters at the Expert Factory, I would have followed His Majesty."

The flames on the lampstand fluctuated slightly, revealing the face of the figure in the corner, it was Liu Jin!

"Does he want to be sure to win over Fang Wukui?" King Heng frowned. He had already predicted that Li Yao marrying Lin Ling'er would only develop in a bad direction for him. It does not mean that there is no chance. But Fang Wukui is different. , it means that Li Yao will soon take control of the military power.

Liu Jin nodded slightly and spit out a name: "Chu Junxiong!"

King Heng's eyes moved, "Is he finally going to take action?"

"That's right." Liu Jin said solemnly.

King Heng took a deep breath to clear his mind.

"From now on, I will continue to hibernate and play with that stupid aunt.

And Liu Jin, what do you think of Gu now? "

King Heng stared at Liu Jin closely and said expressionlessly:

"If you feel convinced that the imperial brother has given you such great power, you can switch to his service. I won't blame you. Just completely eliminate all traces between you and me. From now on, we will be strangers. You I have helped the orphans a lot during this time.”

Liu Jin was shocked when he heard this, stepped out of the corner, came to King Heng, leaned down and saluted, and said with great respect:

"How could I do such a thing of crossing a river and demolishing a bridge? From the day I entered the palace, I have been cared for by His Highness. Without His Highness's help, how could I have come into the sight of Emperor Yao? How could He De become the master of an expert factory? As long as I am here Once you are in the palace, you will always belong to His Highness!"

"Okay, okay, Liu Jin, I really didn't misjudge you!"

King Heng, whose face had faded from his childlike appearance, helped Liu Jin up, his eyes showing a touch of emotion.

"This servant swears allegiance to His Highness to the death!"

Liu Jin said firmly.

"With your words, Gu will feel relieved. You are Gu's greatest confidence in defeating Brother Huang."

King Heng patted Liu Jin's shoulder affectionately.

"Liu Jin, I am very confident about your ability. Now in Kyoto, the secret guards are so overwhelmed by your expert factory that they can hardly hold their heads up."

"The secret guard himself can't see the situation clearly yet, so I can't blame you." Liu Jin straightened her body and spoke lightly, but she vaguely revealed a sense of pride.

"But I guess it won't take long. Brother Huang will soon ask you to stop dealing with the secret guards." King Heng's eyes flashed with a bright light, his deep eyes looked at Liu Jin, and he said with a half-smile.

Liu Jin's body trembled, and he showed doubts and a hint of anxiety at the right time, and said in shock:

"Your Highness, why is this? The slave is expanding the expert factory now all for the sake of Emperor Yao. Why does Emperor Yao stop the slave's actions?"

Seeing Liu Jin's expression, King Heng was very satisfied inside, but on the outside he sneered:

“It’s not that the emperor wants you to stop, but that Prime Minister Lin and the officials of the court will ask the emperor to stop.

Naturally, you in the palace do not understand the filthiness of these court officials. They will not let your expert factory dominate. They hope that the expert factory and the secret guards can reach a state of balance.

Now that Prime Minister Lin has surrendered, it won't be long before the commander of the secret guards will naturally surrender to Brother Huang. Do you think Brother Huang will let you continue to deal with the secret guards by then?

By then, your expert factory will not be as prestigious as it is now. "

Liu Jin nodded from time to time, with a serious face, and asked quickly to King Heng:

"What should I do now, slave?"

When King Heng saw the anxiety that couldn't be wiped away from Liu Jin's eyes, the corners of his mouth rose slightly and he said meaningfully:

"Since we already know the future outcome of the Dark Guard, and it is impossible for the expert factory to eliminate the Dark Guard, we might as well take the Dark Guard into our own hands in advance!"

"Control it in your own hands?" Liu Jin's eyes moved.

"That's right, now that the secret guards are being suppressed by the expert factory, everyone knows that it's the emperor's brother who means it. If the commander of the secret guards has no complaints against the emperor, no one will believe it.

As the main controller who suppresses the secret guards, you should be able to control the whereabouts of the secret guards.

You suppress me, I will conquer you!

When the expert factory and secret guards are in our hands, who in Kyoto can still have secrets? "

King Heng stretched out his palm and attached it to the light. The shadow of his palm became larger and larger, and finally he held it tightly!

"good idea!"

Liu Jin was very excited on the surface, but also had an idea in his heart. Why didn't he think of it? Why didn't he cultivate a "rival"?

A single family attracts hatred!

……………………

Qingzhou, Qingwu City!

Boom!

"Wang Bin, you traitor"

With a roar, the golden light was bright, and two waves of monstrous Gang Qi rose into the sky like a sea tide. The terrifying light shot straight into the sky, turning the world into a golden color. In front of this storm-like angry atmosphere, everyone was as small as dust. .

Soon, the three figures, with peerless murderous intent in their eyes, quickly surrounded the two of them. Their momentum collided, and the void seemed to explode!

Five venerables!

The terrifying aura filled the air, shaking the world!

"Traitor? I am originally from Zhenguo Mansion, so how can I be called a traitor?

In the middle, the Venerable named Wang Bin was holding a large long knife and looked ferociously at the two Venerables who had been poisoned.

Next to him were Huo Lao and Zhong Cui, who were at the peak of the Dharma Realm!

At the gate of Qingwu City, Chu Junyan's terrifying aura enveloped the entire city. The generals guarding the city had been eliminated by Bai Bo, and all the soldiers were restrained. The army outside the city gate filed in and quickly took control of Qingwu City.

The two venerables surrounded by three people looked at each other and saw wisps of poisonous energy emerging from each other's faces. Their eyes showed the will to die. With their strength, if they suppressed the poison in their bodies immediately, they would naturally survive. But now that the enemy is facing us, how could we possibly give them a chance!

"kill!"

The venerable man from the Shen family, the first family in Qingzhou, burst out with infinite murderous intent in his eyes, and the blood was dazzling. He stepped forward, and in an instant, he was heading towards Wang Bin to kill!

The rolling evil energy was turbulent, and a silver light shone in the void, like a heavenly dragon, extremely powerful!

"Haha, Shen family, I have long disliked you. Shen Rui, go to hell!"

Wang Bin held a ferocious sword in his hand, with flying black hair and stern eyes, and rushed forward. Every step he took in the void, there was a golden sword shining at his feet.

"cut!"

The sky is filled with golden swords and shadows slashing upwards!

Unparalleled sharpness!

boom!

The terrifying momentum caused the void for miles to shake violently, as if it couldn't bear the terrifying power and was about to explode!

Shocking collision!

The void exploded, revealing a chaotic interlayer of space. Wang Bin stood in the void with a normal expression.

However, Shen Rui, the venerable member of the Shen family, flew out directly and staggered back in the air.

"Haha, aren't you very arrogant? Keep going!"

When Wang Bin saw Lord Shen, who was stronger than himself, being slashed away with a single blow, he knew that the poison in his body had taken effect and he fell into a weak state.

While Wang Bin was laughing, the long sword in his hand filled the sky with sword lights, and the sword lights crisscrossed the sky, revealing a ferocious killing intent!

Shen Rui will die tonight!

"kill!"

Shen Rui resisted the severe pain in his body, a trace of black blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and the real energy in his body burned violently. The figure in the void formed a silver firebird, burning with blazing silver flames, making a roar, and rushed towards Wang Bin!

In another battle, Huo Lao at the peak of the Dharma Realm and Zhong Cui at the late Dharma Realm faced their poisoned opponents!

The situation changes, vast power sweeps across all directions, and extremely powerful power bursts out from them!

The two of them join forces, the void vibrates, and they kill with one strike!

The blazing light is flashing, and the entire sky is shining with a dazzling and dangerous light in the trembling sky!

The second Venerable was dealt with directly!

"Let me kill alone!"

Wang Bin fought desperately with Shen Rui, the space cracked, the wind roared, and the energy spread everywhere.

Mr. Huo and Zhong Cui looked at each other and stood on both sides, watching their battle quietly.

Chu Junyan, who was on the city gate, saw the battle in the sky, lowered his gaze, and stepped out of the city gate to go to the city lord's mansion.

Because the battle above is already doomed.

Beyond Qingzhou is another city eighty miles away from Qingwu City. The Qingyang City Gate is seven or eight feet high and shimmers with iron-grey color. It is obviously made of molten iron. Its defense is greatly increased and it is difficult for ordinary weapons to penetrate.

On the city wall, every ten steps, there is a soldier standing upright, with brilliant blue armor, a spear in his hand, a bow and arrow clenched, and a crossbow standing quietly, like a ferocious beast, shining with sharp edges.

As a border city in Qingzhou, Qingyang City has a very tight gate defense and is obviously well prepared to resist Chu Junyan for a long time.

The power of the city crossbow is very powerful and extremely fast. Even if the master is not careful, he will be penetrated!

The dim starlight shines down, the waning moon sets in the west, dark clouds fill the sky, and the night wind blows, bringing waves of coolness.

Three miles away from Qingyang City Gate, there is the end of a forest extending from there. In front of it is a piece of flat land with no obstruction. Even at night, it is dark and difficult to see, but if a group of troops rush out, they can be easily discovered.

Soldiers on the city gate stared into the distance, a grandmaster commander patrolled back and forth at the city gate, and there was a strong man in the Tianwu Realm sitting in the middle of the city tower!

Xing Daorong and a group of Xiantian realm masters stood silently on the edge of the mountain forest, standing quietly, like sculptures, unmoving!

"When I rush to the city gate and the city gate is wide open, you lead the army into Qingyang City. Do you understand?"

Xing Daorong looked at Cheng Haonan who came with him and ordered.

"Don't worry, General Xing!" At this moment, Cheng Haonan has been subdued by Xing Daorong, his face is extremely determined, 20,000 soldiers have been ambushed in the forest, and when the time comes, they can quickly rush into the city.

As the remaining Tianwu realm, he is the final guarantee for the army to advance, attack, retreat and defend.

There are five cities on the border of Qingzhou. Chu Junyan and Chu Qingyan planned to capture them overnight and divided them into five groups. In addition to the main city led by Chu Junyan, Jiang Tiantian, Wang Xin, and Jiang Kun each led one group, and Chu Qingyan led one group. With Wu Yong, he attacked other cities.

Xing Daorong waved his hand gently, and hundreds of innate elites stepped forward silently, with cold faces and ruthless eyes. The swords they held were covered with black cloth to block the cold light from the blade.

Xing Daorong nodded slightly, his true energy was steaming all over his body, and a faint black air mist rose up, quickly covering the hundreds of innate elites behind him. They and Xing Daorong's auras were continuous, blending into the night, and disappearing into the faint black mist. If you are not careful, Look, you can't find anything at all.

Cheng Haonan, who was standing next to him, looked at Xing Daorong with envy.

This is the Tianwu Realm general!

What is being displayed now is an ability belonging to the Tianwu Realm generals, covering the military force and hiding the soldiers. Under the cover of Xing Daorong's momentum, the speed and strength of these soldiers are at least doubled!

Boom!

The sky in the distance shook!

It’s the Lord Qingwucheng who is fighting!

At this moment, all the soldiers and generals at the Qingyang City Gate raised their heads and turned towards the direction of Qingwu City, with shock in their eyes!

Without saying anything else, Xing Daorong's body moved and turned into a black shadow, running towards Qingyang City at an extremely fast speed.

call out! call out!

Hundreds of innate elites were like black shadows, blending into the darkness silently, following Xing Daorong's footsteps.

Soon, everyone came under the Qingyang City Wall.

"what happened?"

"Did Chu Junyan attack Qingwu City?"

"Alert all soldiers immediately!"

A sharp figure appeared above the city gate, and the majestic Tianwu Realm aura enveloped the city gate, calming the hearts of some panicked soldiers.

"yes!"

Xing Daorong raised his head and followed the city wall to faintly see the feet of the powerful Tianwu realm man on the city gate, stepping back to the city tower.

Nodding to the hundreds of innate masters behind him, he drew out his giant axe, shrouded in black mist, and his breath converged. He jumped up slightly, and Xing Daorong stood directly on the city wall.

When the moonlight illuminated Xing Daorong's figure, Qingyang soldiers immediately noticed it!

"who!"

When the defenders followed the sound and looked over,

"hehe!"

Xing Daorong smiled coldly, the chill in his eyes was astonishing, and the murderous aura all over his body suddenly erupted, his evil aura soaring to the sky, and he slashed at the city gate grandmaster with an axe!

The bright ax blade shone brightly, reflecting the waning moon above the sky. It was cold and chilling, and with unparalleled murderous intent, the Grandmaster commanded a radius of dozens of meters. Blood bursts burst out, and corpses were thrown away one after another, with expressions on their faces. consternation.

Tens of meters away, Qingyang soldiers were stunned for a moment as they looked at the blood raining in the sky and the tattered corpses falling down!

"Enemy attack!"

The strong man in the Tianwu Realm reacted instantly, roared, and took a step forward. The distance of tens of meters disappeared in an instant. The long sword flipped over, and the dazzling sword light swept across the sky for more than ten feet and instantly burst out, slashing towards Xing Daorong!

"Oh, looking for death!" Xing Daorong exuded a surging momentum, without reservation, the light of his ax was bright, and the bloody light flashed dazzlingly!

At the same time, under the city gate, hundreds of innate masters rushed up to the city gate from the other side!

"Kill!"

Hundreds of people were united, and Xing Daorong's military force still enveloped them. As he stepped, he waved his long sword, and hundreds of sword lights condensed, turning into a heavenly sword, and slashed down with a bang!

It's like a huge sword flower blooming gorgeously, ruthlessly killing people.

The murderous aura is strong, the sword is sharp, and it sweeps across everything with the force of breaking bamboo!

In an instant, hundreds of figures flew across the city gate, blood splattered, corpses everywhere, and bones and blood filled the sky!

Many city defenders were holding long spears and retreating step by step with trembling legs. There were many Xiantian realm masters among them. They looked at the enemy soldiers rushing out with horror in their eyes.

Looking up at the corpses on the ground, everything was red, the smell of blood hit your nose, and the blood almost formed a river!

They were distracted, but not the hundreds of innate masters. They moved quickly and immediately separated into a small group and rushed down the city gate. The remaining masters chopped at the soldiers on the city gate, creating chaos!

"Kill, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver for killing one person!"

The garrison commander reacted promptly and roared!

When the other soldiers saw this, their spirits perked up and they immediately started to kill without caring about their own safety!

However, under the cover of the military situation, these innate masters moved quickly, had clear minds, and were extremely cooperative!

On the city wall, long knives were swept across, blood spattered, and soldiers fell to the ground in despair with expressions of unwillingness on their faces.

clang!

There was also a burst of fighting under the city gate, and then soon with a loud noise, the city gate opened!

Cheng Haonan's eyes flashed from the forest,

"Come on!"

Wave and charge!

Rumble, the army charges quickly!

The strong masters and Xiantian realm masters were the fastest. In a few breaths, they rushed to the foot of the city, rushed towards the city gate, and started to fight against the enemy troops at the city gate. It was bloody!

Boom!

Soldiers filed in below!

In the sky, just as Cheng Haonan was preparing to assist Xing Daorong in defeating this powerful man in the late Tianwu realm,

Xing Daorong's black hair was dancing behind his head, the coldness in his eyes burst out, the cold killing light burst out, and the giant ax in his hand shot up with a dazzling axe,

The ax blade flashes light red, giving people an extremely sharp feeling. The billowing evil energy cuts through the void and cuts down hard!

The eyes of the strong man in the Tianwu Realm shrank, and he felt deeply that a death crisis that was too strong to be resolved was coming, making him feel cold all over!

Immediately, the momentum of his whole body exploded, and a huge sword light that was several feet long, extremely sharp, and flashing with fiery red flames took shape instantly. Like a heavenly sword, it slashed at Xing Daorong in the air. He wanted to resist!

Xing Daorong smiled coldly, and the ax blade in his hand exploded again. The extremely sharp ax intention shook the entire city. The ax blade was bloody, shining dazzlingly, across the sky!

The sword light shattered directly!

The body of a strong man in the Tianwu Realm is cut in half with an axe!

The ax blade continued to slash at the city gate, rocks flying, smoke and dust rising into the sky, killing people in the sky!
