Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

"Can you please change your clothes?"

Li Si looked at the Lieyan Sect members who were all dressed in white robes with a fire cloud embroidered on their chests. He said calmly, although it was a question, but there was an unquestionable tone.

Elder Xu, Elder Hong and others looked at each other and frowned, why do they need to change clothes?

In Lingyun Mansion, I can't wear the Lieyan Sect uniform anymore?

Even though there was all kinds of resentment in their hearts, no one dared to speak.

Didn’t you see that Xu Chu, who was ranked first by King Chu, second by Yuwen Chengdu and third by Li Si, didn’t dare to say a word after being scolded by Li Si? He stayed beside Li Si quietly like a little daughter-in-law, with an expression on his face Sanshen.

Liu Yanxin couldn't help but frown. She seemed to understand what Li Si meant.

"Can!"

Liu Chenfeng nodded heavily. He looked at Li Si with fear in his heart. The person in front of him had a vague sense of danger, which made him unwilling to resist.

"Lieutenant Company, lead the army to Linghai County!"

"yes!"

Lian Chenghai stood up and immediately commanded the march.

Boom!

The five hundred cavalry marched several times faster than before.

Several elders of Lieyan Sect and a group of disciples could only put on new uniforms during the march.

Soon, the cavalry arrived outside the city gate of Linghai County. The city wall was five feet and five feet high and stretched endlessly on both sides. The thick city gate exuded a heavy atmosphere. Five carriages could pass through the city gate in a row. Very lively.

When the surrounding carriages and passers-by saw the cavalry with the word "Chu", they all gave way and retreated to watch.

There were two rows of soldiers standing under the city gate. When they saw the imposing cavalry coming from a distance, they quickly went to report to the gatekeeper.

"drive!"

A team rode quickly to the city gate. The leader was a commander, with a big belly and disheveled clothes. He had obviously just woken up.

The city gatekeeper's name was Zhang Shen, and he was drinking some wine with his concubine in the fifth room as usual, asking her to cheer him up and play flute.

Suddenly, the city gate guard reported that a group of nearly five hundred cavalry was coming to the county seat. They got up in a hurry and came over quickly.

When the fat-headed, big-eared, red-faced Zhang Shen saw the cavalry standing in front of the city gate and a big flag with the word "Chu" flying, his heart trembled.

Could it be that the King of Chu has arrived?

Didn't the Lieyan Sect deacon in the county say that King Chu would not come to Linghai County and would go directly to the Lieyan Sect.

Suddenly, Zhang Shen's body shook, and the energy in his body shook away the drunken smell on his body. He quickly arranged his armor, led his soldiers to the cavalry, and quickly dismounted.

"I have the guts to ask Zhang Shen, the gatekeeper of Linghai County, but His Highness the King of Chu is here in person?"

Lian Chenghai in front of the cavalry narrowed his eyes and looked at the respectful Zhang Shen.

The surrounding tourists and passers-by stopped to watch, staring at the cavalry curiously, and also making guesses.

Lian Chenghai said loudly: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has entered Lingyun Mansion to go to Lieyan Sect. Due to busy affairs, he did not have time to inspect the situation of the people in various counties and cities.

Therefore, His Royal Highness the King of Chu sent a special inspection envoy, Mr. Li Si, to inspect various counties and show consideration for the people's sentiments!

Lord Li Si is now in Linghai County to inspect the inspection! "

As soon as Lian Chenghai's words came out, Zhang Shen was shocked.

Inspector Li Si!

Who is it?

The passers-by who stopped around were also shocked. It turned out that it was not His Royal Highness the King of Chu, but the inspector!

So everyone looked at the carriages in the team and started talking:

"It turns out His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not here in person!"

"I have long heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu loves the people as his own children. He does not have time to visit various counties, but he also specially sent inspection envoys to understand the conditions of the people in our counties and cities. His Highness the King of Chu is so kind!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Chu is so kind!"

"I don't know what kind of big shot this Lord Li Si is. Can he really be selfless? It's not like officials deceive each other and deceive each other, which is in vain for all the hard work of His Highness the King of Chu." A commoner in the crowd looked at the fat-headed and big-eared man. Zhang Shen said angrily.

"Be careful what you say! Be careful what you say!" The friend next to him quickly covered his mouth and looked at the soldiers at the city gate nervously, fearing that they would hear him.

The people around them, at this moment, actually approached them at the same time, covering these people with their bodies, and looking at the carriages among the cavalry, they also showed their scrutiny.

They have seen this kind of inspector too many times. Every time Lingyun Dufu sent people to inspect various cities and told them about the difficulties and grievances of the people, but they always just made loud noises and made little rain. They just did superficial work casually, and some The people really believed it, and they seemed to have seen the light of day, and they went to report the Lieyan Sect disciples, the big family, and the corrupt officials who had harmed their families.

But it’s useless!

Help again and again!

Don't arrest them until they leave.

Then these people were in trouble.

"General Zhang Shen pays homage to Lord Li Si!" Zhang Shen relaxed, as long as he was not the King of Chu, and quickly smiled and bowed to the carriage.

In the carriage, Liu Yanxin looked at Li Si, who was sitting opposite him with his eyes closed and upright, slowly opened his eyes, and calmly glanced at Zhang Shen outside the carriage, without any intention of getting up.

"Xu Chu!"

Xu Chu, who was riding a war horse next to him, heard Li Si's call and quickly approached the carriage.

"Master Li."

Li Si's calm voice sounded in Xu Chu's ears:

"The city gatekeeper has committed a crime of dereliction of duty by not guarding the city gate, and if he drinks alcohol during his tenure, his crime will be increased by one degree.

Everyone should be severely punished with a hundred large boards and hung at the city gate for three days as a warning to all the soldiers! "

"yes!"

Xu Chu's eyes shone, hehe, he was punished before, and now it's finally his turn to punish others!

I have to fight it myself!

"Drive!" "Drive!"

Xu Chu's tall and burly figure immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Xu Chu rode a war horse and slowly came to Zhang Shen, looked down at Zhang Shen, showing his white teeth.

"Are you the gatekeeper today?"

Zhang Shen saw this burly general. Although he did not exude any momentum, there was always a suffocating sense of oppression. His legs became weak and he trembled:

"That's right!"

Xu Chu’s voice was loud and loud, shaking the city gate:

"Lord Li Si has ordered that city gate guard Zhang Shenxing drink alcohol during his tenure, and his crime will be increased to one level.

He was severely punished in public with a hundred large boards and hung at the city gate for three days as a warning to all the soldiers!

Come on, tie him up! "

These words are earth-shattering!

"What!" Zhang Shen and the soldiers behind him opened their eyes wide and looked at Xu Chu in disbelief!

"Wow!"

The people around him were instantly in an uproar and noisy, with deep expectations in their eyes.

He attacked the city gate guard as soon as he arrived. Is it really such a big deal?

Are the inspectors sent by His Highness the King of Chu really different?

"Qiang" "Qiang!"

Two heavy armored cavalry dismounted and came to Zhang Shen's side, obeying Xu Chu's order and preparing to tie Zhang Shen up.

Zhang Shen's face changed slightly, showing a trace of anger, and he stared at the quiet carriage.

"Huh? You don't accept it?" Xu Chu opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Shen with some expectation. It's okay if you don't accept it!

Next to him, Lian Chenghai had already grasped the handle of his horse's knife, with a cold glint in his eyes. If he dared to resist the order, kill him!

He understood that Master Li Si was trying to establish his authority. It was the first time that the Chu Palace was establishing its authority in Lingyun Palace!

Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed!

Although they are both at the peak of their innate abilities, Lian Chenghai is confident enough to deal with this waste in one move!

The momentum of the cavalry behind them changed, and a murderous aura enveloped the entire city gate!

Suddenly the city gate became extremely quiet!

Everyone is watching Zhang Shen!

The soldiers behind Zhang Shen were at a loss. Facing the gazes of hundreds of cavalry in front, they felt a little frightened and sweated a little in the middle of their lower bodies.

Zhang Shen, who was the focus of the cavalry, felt a huge pressure, and a fatal danger shrouded him. If he moved even slightly, his head might be missing.

A little sweat dropped from his forehead. Zhang Shen lowered his head, stretched his hands behind his back, gave the soldier behind him a quick look, and gritted his teeth and said:

"The general will be punished!"

The last soldier saw Zhang Shen's gesture and ran back to the city to ask for the county guard.

"good!"

Xu Chu jumped off his horse, waved his hand to tie Zhang Shen up, and then set up a bench directly in the center of the city gate for Zhang Shen to lie down on the bench.

More and more people stopped at the city gate and circled around.

When I heard that the inspector sent by His Highness the King of Chu was punishing the city gate guard Zhang Shen, a large number of people ran over inside the city gate, including many people from the county and city families.

When they arrived, they saw Xu Chu beating Zhang Shen!

"Bang!"

"ah!"

"Bang!"

"ah!"

The dull sound of stick and meat was exchanged with Zhang Shen's painful sound.

The burly Xu Chu hit Zhang Shen hard on the buttocks with the thick stick in his hand. Xu Chu's strength was useless against his innate-level body.

"well played!"

Many people clenched their fists and watched Zhang Shen being beaten, with excited expressions in their eyes.

As a bully who guards the city, Zhang Shen and his soldiers often make things difficult for the people who enter the city, especially those who come to the city to do business. The fees to enter the city are extremely expensive, and the people dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

Well done!

"Bang!" "Bang!"

"thirty-seven!"

"thirty eight!"

"thirty-nine!"

"twenty!"

Xu Chu took notes while playing. Li Si said that playing a hundred boards means a hundred boards.

By the way, a few dozen to a hundred?

Xu Chu's muscular head thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Who cares, let's beat him later!"

One hundred boards can definitely knock Zhang Shen out!

"twenty one!"

"twenty two!"

Just when Xu Chu hit twenty-nine and was about to hit forty, there was a sudden shout from the city gate!

"stop!"

The people who surrounded the city gate at the back parted a path, and a group of people wearing fierce flame uniforms came walking forward, each with a proud look on their face.

The leader of them was a middle-aged man about the same size as Zhang Shen. He stood with his hands behind his back and his big belly in front of him. He watched Xu Chu beating Zhang Shen in public in the center of the city gate. His face darkened and his eyes showed anger.

In the entire Linghai County, who doesn't know that Zhang Shen is his Taikun's horse boy? If you hit him, wouldn't you be hitting yourself in the face?

Tai Kun, the deacon of Lieyan Sect guarding Linghai County, came angrily. When he saw Xu Chu still beating Zhang Shen, he said angrily:

"I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?"

The voice was loud and the aura of the Grandmaster realm exploded!

The people around him took a few steps back and looked at him in awe.

Xu Chu thought for a moment, stopped the thick stick in his hand, glared at Tai Kun with both eyes, and shouted:

"What the hell are you yelling at? I can't even remember how many times I hit you!"

"The one who steps on the horse, fight again, help me remember it!"

Xu Chu pointed at the two cavalrymen holding Zhang Shen down.

Zhang Shen, who had his butt blossomed, was overjoyed when he saw Taikun coming. However, he didn't expect that Xu Chu would not only stop but also have to do it all over again. His vision went dark and he almost fainted.

"Qiang!"

A ray of cold light lit up, and Lian Chenghai took a step forward with a sword in his hand. His aura at the peak of the Xiantian realm was revealed, and he said coldly to Tai Kun:

"Who are you? You dare to stop the Chu Palace from doing things? If you dare to take a step forward again, you will be killed!"

"kill!"

The five hundred cavalrymen behind him shouted angrily at the same time, with a murderous intent spreading and majestic momentum!

Taikun instantly felt a pressure coming on his face!

The warrior at the peak of the Xiantian Realm in front of him merged with the momentum of the cavalry behind him. He was thick and steady, as if he could kill himself with one knife!

And how could the seven or eight young Lieyan Sect disciples behind him feel the evil aura of these cavalry? Their faces turned pale and they no longer looked as arrogant as before.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Xu Chu hasn't beaten him enough. In the past, he was always the one punished. Now it's his turn to punish others, and there are so many people watching. Not to mention how happy he is. Even the king of heaven comes and can't stop him. He beats people!

Seeing the confrontation between the two sides, the surrounding spectators held their breath unconsciously and did not dare to make any sound, but looked at the Chu cavalry with awe and admiration in their eyes!

ox!

People from Lieyan Sect dare to fight against him!

Who doesn’t know that in the entire Lingyun Mansion, the Lieyan Sect is the leader, and the Mansion Office is still ranked second!

"you……"

Seeing this, Tai Kun was furious and looked at the carriage surrounded by cavalry. He had already heard about the origins of this group of cavalry on the way.

Inspector Li Si?

He had never heard of it. He thought he was just a nobody, but he didn't expect him to be so bold.

The King of Chu is still heading to Lieyan Sect. You, a small official, dare to be so arrogant. Who is the biggest in Lingyun Mansion?

Without our Lieyan Sect, would you, King Chu, be able to unify Lingyun Mansion?

The more Tai Kun thought about it, the more angry he felt in his heart. He raised his head and said proudly to the people in the carriage:

"I am the deacon of Lieyan Sect guarding Linghai County. I would like to invite Inspector Li to come out and meet me!"

The elders and disciples of the Lieyan Sect who were hiding behind the carriage trembled in their hearts. They had seen Li Si's methods. When they heard Tai Kun's unknown voice, Elder Xu and Elder Hong looked at each other with questioning expressions.

Which elder's subordinate is this, so brave?

In the carriage, Li Si glanced at Liu Chenfeng and Liu Yanxin.

"Ahem." Liu Yanxin was a little embarrassed. Liu Chenfeng closed his eyes and remained silent, but the twitching at the corners of his eyes revealed his mood.

Is this loser looking for death?

The punishment of generals and officials is all a matter between the Prince of Chu and the Linghai County Government. Why do you, a member of the Lieyan Sect, get involved!

If it’s about you, just show up!

"This deacon of yours was used as a weapon. If he did something wrong, I will make my own conclusion."

Li Si stood up slowly and walked out of the carriage.

Suddenly, Li Si's figure attracted everyone's attention.

He saw Li Si, who looked serious and imposing.

Everyone's breathing slowed down, and an invisible aura slowly appeared in the city gate.

"He is Lord Inspector Li Si. He looks so impressive!"

“At first glance, he is an upright man!”

"Let's see what he says."

"King Chu is really awesome!"

Li Si's eyes were very sharp. He looked at Taikun quietly and said in a deep voice:

"I am Li Si of the Prince of Chu's Palace, Tai Kun, the deacon of Lieyan Sect. What do you want from me?"

Taikun swallowed his saliva. For some reason, since Li Si came out, he seemed to feel that the world was different. Although the sky was not strange at all, a sense of threat that always surrounded him made him feel like a light on his back. , this feeling of threat is very weak, but it is extremely strong in my heart, so strange!

"I...I would like to ask Mr. Li why he punished Commander Zhang in public."

Li Si turned his profound eyes to Zhang Shen, and his tone was as calm as water:

"First, the city gate guard left his post without permission. Should he be punished?"

"Second, should I be punished for being drunk on duty?"

When Tai Kun saw Li Si's calm eyes, he was suddenly frightened for some reason and said sincerely:

"Should!"

Li Si did not speak, and still stood on the carriage, quietly looking at Zhang Shen who was being beaten.

The city gate was quiet except for Xu Chu waving his thick stick!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Everyone watched silently as Xu Chu beat Zhang Shen.

The dull sound of being hit on the flesh made Tai Kun and the seven or eight Lieyan Sect disciples behind him tremble inwardly.

But the eyes of the people around him are getting brighter and brighter!
