Chapter 187 Li Yuan’s Concerns

"What do you think?"

Seeing everyone in the Fan family being silent, the head of the Fan family asked.

Fan Peng frowned. From both Fan He and Fan Xuexi, they chose Emperor Yao. It seemed that the head of the family had the same intention.

Then choose Prince Ming yourself...

The eldest elder of the Fan family said solemnly: "You can give it a try."

"The arrival of the dynasty's envoy is an opportunity. We can just see what Emperor Yao is capable of." A middle-aged scribe talked eloquently with a chuckle;

"The group of old foxes in the imperial court have already recognized Emperor Yao. For the sake of Emperor Yao's future position and their future positions, they will spare no effort to assist him. If they can unite, they will be an extremely terrifying force."

"Unity, haha, if they can unite, there will be trouble."

"Once you enter the officialdom, it is as deep as the sea. It seems that we must be prepared." He is also a middle-aged man with sparkling eyes.

The elders of the Fan family who were a few children in front also spoke:

"As expected of Emperor Yu, he has great talent and great strategy. He has trained five outstanding royal children. Even the weakest King of Chu can solve the problem of Lingzhou."

"Oh, yes, it seems that this time the troubled times will end in the hands of the Li family again, and whoever wins the world this time will undoubtedly be an iron-blooded emperor. Sooner or later, a reclusive family like ours will be liquidated. Sooner or later, No matter what choice you make, no matter you win or lose, at least you won’t regret it.”

"Okay, then let's consider Emperor Yao first, King Ming next, and King Yu next."

"If King Xuan can really defeat Zhenguo Mansion, then consider him again."

Fan He, Fan Xuexi and others listened quietly to the discussion of the middle-aged generation. Just now, it was just their opinions, and the decision-making power still rested with the elders.

At this time, a middle-aged man sitting at the end of the seat, about forty years old, with a somewhat honest face, saw that no one mentioned the King of Chu, so he asked:

"Why don't our Fan family consider King Chu?"

Everyone fell silent when they heard King Chu's name.

"King Chu? Let's wait until he can defeat King Ming." The second elder said disapprovingly.

"What can King Chu do? King Ming may not be able to pass the test. It is better to rely on King Ming than to rely on him."

Everyone else nodded. Among the four kings of the Dayu Dynasty, King Chu was the weakest. There was also King Ming next to him. It was not a wise choice to choose him now. The Fan family was not a gambler about life and death.

"Fourth, King Chu can also try to contact, not only King Chu but also King Ming and King Yu. In the future, we will send some tribesmen to go under their command and cast more nets. There will be no problem."

The head of the Fan family looked at the honest middle-aged man and said meaningfully. He knew that the fourth child had an illegitimate son. He was now working under the King of Chu and was trusted by the King of Chu.

"However," the head of the Fan family changed his words and his expression became serious.

"Now we are mainly paying attention to Emperor Yao. Fan He, Xue Xi, and Fan Peng will take some of your clansmen to the capital tomorrow."

"yes."

Fan Peng, Fan He and Fan Xuexi stood up and clasped their fists to accept the order.

Fan Xuexi's bright face was the most cautious, because she knew very well that if the family really chose Emperor Yao, in order to quickly gain Emperor Yao's trust and to reassure the clan, they would most likely marry Emperor Yao and choose a legitimate daughter to marry into the harem.

Unsurprisingly, this candidate is her.

Needless to say, no matter who the Fan family chooses, marriage is inevitable, and he is the best choice.

……………………

In the dead of night, in Lingzhou, Lingyun Mansion, Lieyan City, in an elegant courtyard, peach blossoms were scattered.

Li Yuan was talking with a charming female elder.

"Mr. Xu, you have been in Lieyan City for many days. Have you found what you are looking for?"

Zhou Huizhen's cheeks were rosy and she was wearing a well-fitting robe. She looked very charming.

Li Yuan stared at the fragrant tea on the stone table. He was really not interested in this old aunt.

I really didn't dare to be interested at all, not because A Qing, who was holding a sword on the wall of the small courtyard, was standing on the shoulders of the big panda, with his back to him, his white clothes fluttering, and the breeze was blowing.

In fact, Li Yuan didn't blame Ah Qing. The main reason was that after he was brought into Lieyan Palace by Ren Huohuo and Zhao Tai, he entered the small secret room alone with Elder Zhou for the first time to talk for an hour. The first time I find myself is late at night.

He always comes in the middle of the night and disturbs Ah Qing's sleep. It's strange that she isn't angry.

"I heard that the King of Chu sent a great talent to Linghai County. In just ten days, the entire thirteen cities of Linghai County have been turned upside down."

Li Yuan has a handsome and elegant face and a slight smile, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

Although she heard Mr. Xu's harsh words, Zhou Huizhen couldn't get angry when she looked at the young man in front of her.

When she saw this "Mr. Xu" for the first time, for some reason her heart was touched, as if she had seen the young and handsome figure of her senior brother. For a moment, she felt a little wet and wanted to hug this young man. Let him lie in your arms.

In addition to the things she had to do, she chose to visit late at night, just to find some excitement... It would be great if Mr. Xu couldn't control it. She also accomplished the big thing for her senior brother, so she didn't feel sorry for him, and she He also deliberately let Huohuo go back to his sect first.

such a pity……

A young man doesn’t know the fragrance of a mature woman!

Zhou Huizhen glanced at the girl in white in the corner who had only one or two less breasts than hers, looked at her plump and plump body hidden under her robe, and said in a very angry tone:

"Master Xu, are you talking about Li Si?"

"Of course it's him. Now his actions seem to dissatisfy some people in your Lieyan Sect." Li Yuan's smile did not change, and he said with a hint of inexplicability:

"I heard that the Holy Lady of Lieyan Sect and several elders also appeared at Li Si's side, supporting Li Si in taking drastic measures against the entire Lingyun Mansion. Now Li Si is ready to go to the next county.

Logically speaking, shouldn't you Lieyan Sect all support Li Si? "

Facing Li Yuan's seemingly clear words, Zhou Huizhen's watery eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.

"Mr. Xu, you should know that big forces often have complicated hearts. Most of the forces in the counties and cities of Lingyun Mansion and Lingyie Mansion are related to our descendants of the Lieyan Sect.

Li Si has the order of the King of Chu, but he doesn't show any mercy when handling affairs. It is inevitable that there will be a few scum in every family and power. When he faced our disciples of Lieyan Sect to plead for mercy, he dealt with them mercilessly. family.

Therefore, it is normal for some of our Lieyan Sect disciples to be dissatisfied with Li Si. "

Li Yuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile:

"Yes, I heard Zhao Tai complaining to me in the Lieyan Palace before, saying that your Lieyan Sect was the great contributor to King Chu's unification of Lingzhou. Li Si didn't know where he was at that time, but now he comes to Lingyun The government is just pointing fingers at your Lieyan Sect, and this is how the King of Chu treats your Lieyan Sect."

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Zhou Huizhen's eyes turned cold:

"That's right. Didn't you say that King Chu was coming to visit our Lieyan Sect before? But now we haven't seen any ghosts. Our Lieyan Sect has received the news. It turns out that King Chu did not enter Lingyun Mansion at all, but stayed in it all the time. Lingrong Mansion is in seclusion, and coming to Lieyan Sect is just an illusion, just to frighten our two mansions and let Li Si pull the skin of a big tiger.

King Chu doesn’t take our Lieyan Sect seriously at all. "

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows disapprovingly. With Zhao Gao's snare, the "King of Chu" could be wherever he wanted.

After Zhou Huizhen finished saying this, she looked straight at Li Yuan and said:

"Mr. Xu, for this reason, you must have understood some of the internal conditions of our Lieyan Sect in the past few days."

"Of course I understand."

Li Yuan smiled faintly and looked as usual. No matter where he went these days, he would encounter or encounter several Lieyan Sect disciples angrily cursing Li Si and complaining about the King of Chu.

Zhou Huizhen still stared at Li Yuan and said: "Mr. Xu, now you know that King Chu is not in Lingyun Mansion.

Are you here to see King Chu?

Or are you here to cooperate with our Lieyan Sect? "

Li Yuan did not answer, but raised his head and looked at Zhou Huizhen quietly, scanning the surroundings with his peripheral vision.

Seeing Li Yuan's expression, Zhou Huizhen felt calm and smiled on her face:

"Mr. Xu, I think your purpose of coming to Lingzhou has been achieved."

"Haha, I think I should have reached it."

Li Yuan also laughed along with Zhou Huizhen.

Gradually, Li Yuan's face became more and more serious, and he said seriously:

"Now that I have achieved my goal, it's time for me to leave. After all, I'm just here for fun. It's not me who really makes the decision."

"Of course we understand." Zhou Huizhen's smile did not diminish. If Li Yuan said that he wanted to cooperate with them now, she would become suspicious.

"I heard that your gang was very popular on the battlefield in Yizhou. The two generals that Miss Xu found were extremely brave and made many great achievements. I believe that Blue Wing Fortress will be breached soon."

"Haha, that's natural!" Li Yuan showed a sincere look of pride.

What Zhou Huizhen is talking about is Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng on the Yizhou battlefield.

On the first day of the battle, he defeated the enemy general and became famous.

Then in the next few days of the battle, he was extremely brave and his performance was extremely outstanding. His popularity was already as high as that of the veterans in the league.

Three days ago, Ji Wushuang suddenly launched a sneak attack. If Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng had not fought hard to stop it, the Huanzhou Alliance might have suffered a huge defeat.

The two of them now have a higher and higher status in the Huanzhou Alliance.

The two sides talked to each other for a while, talking about the situation in Yizhou and the entire Dayu Dynasty.

After a few polite words, Zhou Huizhen looked at Li Yuan with some resentment and said:

"Then...I'll leave first. When Mr. Xu leaves that day, I'll see him off in person."

Li Yuan stood up, clasped his fists at Zhou Huizhen and said, "Elder Zhou, there is no need to see you off. I will leave tomorrow. I don't want to attract other people's attention."

…………

Zhou Huizhen looked at Li Yuan faintly and suddenly smiled:

"Well, when Mr. Xu comes to Lieyan City again next time, I will sweep the bed to welcome him."

"good."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

…………………………

Two days later, Li Yuan and A Qing had arrived in Linghai County. At the same time, Li Yao's letter also arrived.

Linghai County, Li Si Mansion,

Li Yuan held Li Yao's letter in his hand and read it carefully.

"Let Gu go back to Kyoto?"

"Li Xiang, do you think Gu should go?"

Li Yuan slowly closed the letter, with a solemn expression, and handed it to Li Si next to him to read.

Inside the house, Ah Qing was playing with the big panda quietly, while Zhao Gao stood respectfully.

Li Si quickly read the letter, looked serious, raised his head and looked into Li Yuan's eyes and said:

"Your Highness, if my guess is correct, Emperor Yao wants to use this mission incident to establish his prestige and announce his existence to the states of the dynasty.

Let His Highness return to Beijing to test whether His Highness is sincere in cooperating with Emperor Yao. "

"Alas, it seems that Gu is going back to Kyoto again." Li Yuan sighed, "Gu's identity as the governor of Huanzhou is still in his hands."

Li Si nodded slightly. Now that Li Yao's secret message has arrived, it is an invisible threat.

If he doesn't go and Li Yao directly announces His Highness's identity as the governor of Huanzhou, then the situation of King Ming and the Huanzhou alliance is likely to change instantly, and they might attack Lingzhou first.

Moreover, Li Yao was more ruthless and publicly summoned the king of Chu to return to Beijing to welcome the arrival of envoys from various dynasties.

This is a matter concerning the face of the entire Dayu Dynasty. If His Highness refuses to respond at this time, I am afraid that the people's support will be dispersed.

Li Si nodded slightly and said, "If Your Highness returns to the capital, Emperor Yao will not be able to attack Your Highness. Your Highness will be safe."

Li Yuan nodded. No matter what Li Yao thought, he would definitely not attack him. After all, he still needed to contain King Ming himself.

"I think other forces will attack His Highness on the way!" Li Si considered another thing.

"You mean the Huanzhou Alliance?" Li Yuan frowned.

Li Si looked up into Li Yuan's eyes, nodded, smiled and said:

"Yes, if something unexpected happens to His Highness when he returns to Beijing, the Huanzhou Alliance will have no worries and can attack Yizhou with all its strength."

Li Yuan met Li Si's eyes and looked at Li Si's smile, feeling doubtful in his heart.

Li Si should know his own strength, and now that Ah Qing has broken through to the Dharma Realm, he can be very confident that unless the Huanzhou Alliance sends at least ten Dharma Realms to ambush him, they will not be able to keep him and A Qing at all. .

But for the Huanzhou Alliance to send out ten Dharma Masters, how could they possibly send them out at such a critical moment as the Yizhou War?

So, what does Li Si mean?

"Li Xiang, what you mean is that there will be an accident when Gu comes back!" Li Yuan flashed his eyes and added a strong tone to the word "yes".

Seeing that Li Yuan understood what he meant, Li Si smiled lightly and said:

"Your Highness is wise!"

"Can you tell me if there is any other reason?"

Li Yuan felt that Li Si had other different meanings in it.

His "fake death" can indeed reassure the Huanzhou Alliance, attack Yizhou with all their strength, and then take the initiative to attack Lingzhou.

But this is not enough to “fake your own death!”

"In His Highness's plan, there should be two concerns now." Li Si smiled.

Zhao Gao raised his head slightly after hearing this.

"Please tell me!" Li Yuan's eyes brightened.

"The first one is Xu Fengwu's attitude!"

"The second one is the attitude of Lianzhou forces!"

Li Si's eyes were very sharp, as if he could see through Li Yuan's mind.

Xu Fengwu's attitude determines whether the Chu Palace can quickly enter Huanzhou.

The attitude of the forces in Lianzhou will determine whether the Chu Palace can capture Huanzhou and even Yizhou and Fengzhou!

"Xiang Li really has a far-sighted plan!"

Li Yuan smiled, he understood what Li Si meant.

Although Li Si guessed it, he was very happy. He made plans in Huanzhou and sent Song Jiang to Lianzhou to prepare for the next plan!
