Dynasty Call: Low-Key Struggle for Hegemony

Chapter 192 Return to Kyoto

Instantly, the inner color area of ​​the roulette wheel shone brightly with white light, and the crystals within the range shone brightly, forming a pale white light area.

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

A general appeared wearing battle armor, holding a long sword, and with a depressed expression. What was particularly conspicuous was that there was a palm-sized brown pigmentation spot on the upper and lower eyelids and cheekbones on the left side of his face.

Green-faced beast Yang Zhi!

Tiannanxing Yang Zhi is one of the one hundred and eight generals, ranking seventeenth.

Sure enough, this roulette wheel summoned one of the Liangshan heroes as expected and lived up to expectations.

This was the first time that Li Yuan felt satisfied.

What is this called?

May all your wishes come true!

Li Yuan has always been good at adjusting his mentality.

……………………

The caravan arrived safely thirty miles away from the county town.

Zhou Tie and Niu Geng left with gratitude from Lao Zhou and other merchants.

"Haha, the boss has done well this week. He gave us another thousand taels to Liangshan Village." Zhou Tie said happily on the horse.

"Brother Gongming's actions are admirable, don't they admire him?" Niu Geng said with a smile: "We are getting stronger and stronger in Liangshan now!"

"Yes, with brother Gongming here, our Liangshan village will only get stronger and stronger, aren't we brothers!" Zhou Tie shouted.

"Yes!" There were many bandits behind him, most of them were sallow and thin, and they all responded with knives or sticks.

At a turn, a scene in the distance unfolded. Suddenly, in a small pavilion next to the official road, a short, fat man with a black face was looking forward to it. When he saw Zhou Tie and the others appeared, he seemed to let go of all his worries and relaxed. tone.

The green-faced beast Yang Zhi next to him remained silent and leaned on the stone pillar, with deep sighs and unwillingness in his eyes.

Outside the small pavilion, thirty or forty masters stood, clenching their weapons and alert to their surroundings.

"Isn't that brother Gongming?"

Niu Geng's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that the figure in the small pavilion in the distance was Song Jiang, who admired him.

"It's Brother Gongming, brothers, let's go quickly!" Zhou Tie also recognized it at once, with excitement on his face, so he called the bandits behind him to run towards the small pavilion quickly.

"Brother Yang, are you a little unwilling? You want to stay by His Highness's side and get His Highness's attention."

Song Jiang saw that Niu Geng and Zhou Tie were still some distance away, and his eyes turned to Yang Zhi beside him.

Song Jiang knew very well the character of every Liangshan hero and what Yang Zhi pursued, because he was also the same person.

And this kind of person is best to use.

"Um!"

Yang Zhi raised his head slightly, his nose was stuffy and he made a sound. Facing Song Jiang, the former leader, he didn't know what to say.

Song Jiang smiled lightly and said disapprovingly:

"Brother Yang, do you think your martial arts is comparable to Yuwen Chengdu and Xu Chu?"

"Not comparable." Yang Zhi's eyes dimmed and he said honestly.

"In terms of the ability to lead an army, is Brother Yang as good as Zhong Lizhen and Ma Chao?"

"Not comparable!" The fireworks in Yang Zhi's heart gradually extinguished.

"With them here, can Brother Yang compete for the credit in their hands?"

Song Jiang asked three times in succession.

Yang Zhi was silent, his expression becoming more and more painful.

Seeing this, Song Jiang sighed and said:

"What's more, His Highness will have many people who are equal to or even surpass them in the future. If you stay with His Highness, do you think you can stand out among them?"

"You can return to His Highness now. His Highness will definitely not treat you badly and directly give you the official position you want.

But in the future, there will be many people who are better than you, so what credit can you get?

In their eyes, you are just an old man who appeared next to His Highness in advance. "

Yang Zhi's eyes widened angrily and he tightened the knife in his hand. Although Song Jiang said it tactfully, he could imagine the aggrievedness he would feel in the future.

"Jia Liang and Guan Sheng have been born. They are not with His Highness now. Their roles in the future will be stronger than their strength, and their contributions will be greater."

"Brother Yang, I know that many people below do not recognize me, Song Jiang, but in the eyes of more people, we Liangshan are a whole!"

Song Jiang's eyes became sharp and firm: "We can only have a place under His Highness in the future if we hold our heads to keep warm!"

"Just like now, if we take Lianzhou and have this credit, who will be dissatisfied when the credit is calculated in the future!"

Yang Zhi's eyes were blank, and the fire in his heart suddenly arose, and he suddenly woke up.

A man should make great contributions, and it is difficult for him to stand out next to His Highness. But here, with his brother Gongming and himself, and with His Highness's secret support, there is no need to worry about not getting great achievements.

When the time comes, His Highness will reward himself with promotions and promotions, and no one can despise him.

"Thank you for reminding me, brother, Yang Zhi is ignorant!" Yang Zhi bowed to Song Jiang.

"No, no, we brothers are of the same mind, how can we be so unfamiliar!" Song Jiang quickly helped Yang Zhi up.

"Brother Gongming!"

At this moment, Zhou Tie and Niu Geng had already rushed to the small pavilion, quickly dismounted and galloped over.

With a thought in Song Jiang's mind, an invisible wall cover in the small pavilion disappeared instantly, and he quickly walked up to meet it.

"Brother Gongming!" The two of them immediately bowed down.

Song Jiang quickly helped them up, with a concerned look on his face, looking up and down on them, and the first thing he said was:

"You are not in danger."

"Brother Gongming, this journey is safe!" Niu Geng looked at Song Jiang's concerned eyes and was filled with emotion.

Brother Gongming must have come all the way to greet them for their safety.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

"Brother Gongming has been waiting for a long time." Zhou Tie was completely moved.

"Come on, brothers, let me introduce someone to you." Song Jiang did not explain why he was here, but naturally pulled the two of them and introduced Yang Zhi to them with a cheerful face.

……………………

"Master Li, let's just say goodbye!"

As they neared the county town, Lao Zhou bid farewell to Li Yuan beside the carriage.

Li Yuan smiled and nodded, said excuse me kindly, and then said goodbye and left. The carriage drove slowly, and from time to time a breeze blew into the carriage, and the voices of people in the caravan also came in, all about Liangshan Village.

Lao Zhou looked at the carriage slowly leaving and sighed in his heart. Originally, this mysterious young master was their last protection when they encountered danger. Unexpectedly, they encountered Liangshan Village and then arrived at the county town safely.

Old Zhou stood still and watched the carriage slowly leave his sight. He no longer thought about who this mysterious young master was. Instead, he put his thoughts on Liangshan Village, especially the leader of Song Village. For some reason, he recalled the master of Song Village. When looking at his face, he had a bold idea in his heart.

……………………

Ten days later, Li Yuan finally returned to Kyoto, and the person who greeted him was still an old friend.

The eldest princess Li Mujun, or the supervisory censor Li Mujun!

In the palace of King Chu in Kyoto, Li Yuan sat in the main seat, and Li Mujun sat below.

"Long time no see, Xiaoyuan!" Li Mujun's face was calm, dignified and generous.

"Congratulations to my aunt for returning to Kyoto." Li Yuan seemed surprised to see Li Mujun.

But Li Yuan's words broke Li Mujun's mood, and his face showed a hint of anger.

"This is not a gift from you!"

Li Mujun never understood why he was suddenly forced to return to his fiefdom when he was doing well in Kyoto.

Until a few days ago, someone told her that the source of all this came from King Chu!

Li Mujun recalled the scenes at that time, and finally settled on the scene when Li Yuan visited him.

Because of him, he separated himself from Li Yao!

Because of him, the rumor that he wanted to return to his fief spread throughout Kyoto, and then Prince Xuan, Prince Ming, and Prince Yu followed suit!

"Auntie, why can't I understand what you are saying?"

Li Yuan's expression didn't look strange at all, and he still maintained a gentle smile.

Li Mujun looked at Li Yuan's calm expression and was in a daze for a moment.

The first time she noticed Li Yuan was because of the Chu Qingyan incident.

She still vaguely remembered the first time she went to see Li Yuan alone. In the library, he was holding a book and looking at her with shock and panic.

"I wonder, aunt, what are you doing here to see me?"

Li Yuan saw Li Mujun's absent-minded look and interrupted him.

He still has a lot of things to do, but he doesn't have time to play with Li Mujun.

Li Mujun was suddenly awakened by Li Yuan. Remembering the purpose of his visit, he looked at Li Yuan with complicated eyes.

"In three days, envoys from various dynasties will come to Kyoto. The purpose of their arrival this time is not simple. Your Majesty has made all preparations. King Chu can just watch."

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, what does this mean?

Are you telling yourself not to interfere?

Li Mujun recalled that Li Yuan only had one carriage and only brought three people back, and his confidence returned.

This time, it was Emperor Yao who was in the limelight, so naturally he couldn't let King Chu steal the limelight, so Prime Minister Lin secretly wanted Li Mujun to give King Chu a heads up.

But Li Mujun came directly and stupidly.

"Your Highness, Zhang Yongan is here to visit."

Little Leaf quickly stepped into the hall to report.

"Let him in."

Li Yuan's head ached, knowing that Li Mujun must have been taken advantage of again. Just when he didn't know what tone to use to drive her out, Zhang Yongan came at the right time.

"Meet His Highness the King of Chu!" As Li Yao's former follower and Li Yuan's friend, Zhang Yong'an stood in the center of the lobby and saluted Li Yuan respectfully.

"Yong'an, long time no see, please give me a seat!"

Li Yuan waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Yongan to sit down.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a decree, please enter the palace!"

Zhang Yongan said respectfully without getting up.

"Oh?" Li Yuan glanced at Li Mujun unexpectedly. He understood what Li Yao meant. He was not the one who called Li Mujun.

"Since it is the imperial brother's summons, I will naturally go there. Auntie, I will not accompany you."

Li Yuan got up and prepared to go to the palace with Zhang Yongan.

"It's natural, Yuan'er, go quickly." The moment Li Mujun came in from Zhang Yongheng, her expression became very gentle, as if she had a good relationship with Li Yuan.

After Zhang Yongan bowed respectfully to Li Mujun, he took Li Yuan to the palace.

Outside the mansion, the palace carriage was ready.

"King Chu, please!"

Li Yuan entered the carriage, but Zhang Yongan did not dare to enter with him. Instead, he got into another smaller carriage and led the way.

I don’t know how many pairs of eyes saw this scene in front of Prince Chu’s Mansion.

Some time ago, there were faint rumors in Kyoto that King Chu might want to return to Kyoto, but many aristocratic families did not take this matter seriously.

Just kidding, King Chu was doing well in Lingzhou, why did he return to Beijing?

Now this scene is enough for the Kyoto family to confirm that King Chu has really returned to Beijing, and has already returned!

Why did King Chu return to Beijing?

Why did King Chu dare to return to Beijing?

For a time, Kyoto was shaken, and various families were undercurrent!

On the street, outside the window of a restaurant, a pair of eyes calmly watched Li Yuan get into the royal carriage.

He was very sure that the Fifth Emperor Brother was really back.

This person is none other than the Sixth Prince Li Heng!

At first Liu Jin told him that Emperor Yao planned to recall King Chu to Beijing, but Li Heng still didn't believe it.

But a few days ago, he specially sent people to explore Li Yuan's only way back to Beijing, and he found traces of Li Yuan.

He was shocked at the time. No matter why Li Yuan returned to Beijing, the relationship between Li Yao and Li Yuan was something Li Heng never wanted to see.

He must drive a wedge between the two of them and secretly win over the King of Chu!

"I am going to visit Mr. Chen tonight!" Li Heng put down the wine glass in his hand and said slowly.

"Yes!" A figure slowly appeared. He understood what King Heng meant and was immediately ready to inform Mr. Chen, the Minister of Household Affairs.

……………………

Half an hour later, Li Yuan opened his eyes in the carriage and saw that the palace had arrived!

In front of the glorious and noble palace gate, the guards, maids and eunuchs knelt respectfully on both sides. Li Yao wore imperial robes and stood with his hands behind his back, showing a childish imperial aura!

"Haha, fifth brother, long time no see, I miss you so much!"

Seeing Li Yuan get off the carriage, Li Yao strode over with a hearty laugh.

"Brother Huang is now showing his domineering attitude!" Li Yuan also expressed joy that he had not seen for a long time.

The two hugged each other fiercely!

"Brother Imperial, I originally thought that it would take a few days for the fifth brother to arrive in Kyoto, but I didn't expect that the fifth brother would come back so early!" Li Yao looked at Li Yuan with a very cordial look.

He asked his fifth brother to come back, and he came back.

It seems that the fifth brother is loyal to him!

"The emperor's brother naturally didn't dare to shirk his call, so he set off the next day."

Li Yuan smiled and said in a sincere tone.

"Haha, let's go to the imperial study room to have a chat!"

Li Yao patted Li Yuan on the shoulder to show his intimacy, pulled Li Yuan into the carriage and entered the palace.

"Okay, I haven't seen you for a long time. I have a lot of things I want to talk to my brother."

"Meet His Highness the King of Chu."

Liu Jin, the only one standing in front of Li Yao, shouted respectfully.

"Um!"

Li Yuan didn't take it seriously, responded casually, and got into the carriage with Li Yao.

"Fifth brother, do you know how shocked I was when you exposed your Dharma Master Realm cultivation and fought against Lingmeng!

I didn’t expect you to reach the realm of Dharma Master. I don’t think the number one prodigy, Chu Junyan, is as good as you! "

"Haha, Brother Huang, I can't help it. You also know that I am surrounded by dangers in Lingzhou, and I don't know how to deal with political affairs. I just leave all the affairs to my subordinates and practice by myself, so I have achieved a lot!"

In the carriage, Li Yuan's rather proud voice sounded.

Li Yao sighed: "Oh, yes, I only understand now that it was so easy in the past, but now there are so many tedious tasks that my hair is about to fall out."

"Brother Huang is the head of the Dayu Dynasty, so naturally he has to work harder, unlike me!"
