Chapter 214 Interception
"Since we have chosen to attack Lingzhou, the King of Chu is our life and death enemy. Now that the King of Chu is rushing back to Lingzhou, why don't we ambush and attack the King of Chu halfway!" Jiang Gan shook his jade fan lightly and showed a faint smile. .
"hiss!"
Cheng Yaojin looked at Jiang Qian in shock and took a deep breath.
"How brave!"
Guan Sheng raised his eyelids and stared at Jiang Gan quietly.
The actions of the two did not attract anyone's attention, because the others also looked shocked.
To intercept and kill the King of Chu?
Zhou Chi's eyes lit up, and his look at Jiang Qian changed from appreciative to extremely appreciative.
I don't know what this means, but it is to attack Lingzhou quickly.
If they really go to assassinate the King of Chu, it will mean that the Huanzhou Alliance and the King of Chu's forces are ruthless.
This is what the Zhou family wants to see most!
After all, one of their sages and the young master of the Zhou family were killed by people sent by the King of Chu. How could the Zhou family not hate the King of Chu? They and the forces of the King of Chu had already become life-and-death enemies.
And Jiang Gan's plan will directly bring down the entire Huanzhou Alliance, and he must destroy the Chu King's power!
Sure enough, everyone's eyes changed quickly, and they thought of the key.
The Wang family and the Black Dragon Gang all showed hesitation.
Zhou Chi's thin face showed a faint smile, "Everyone, what do you think of Jiang Gan's plan?"
Xu Fengwu glanced at Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng, and when she saw their expressionless faces, she looked at Jiang Gan and sighed slightly.
I don’t say whether the strategy is good or not, but it will definitely not succeed!
In order to let these two fierce generals know her attitude, Xu Fengwu's mind turned and she said directly:
"Leader, I think it's inappropriate."
Zhou Chi frowned, "Why is it inappropriate?"
"That girl Ah Qing under the command of the King of Chu is terrifying. If we assassinate the King of Chu, if we fail, it will trigger the King of Chu's crazy revenge."
Xu Fengwu glanced at the people from all the forces and continued: "What if he also sent Ah Qing to use assassination methods? Who among us, the venerable, can resist him?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, especially when Ah Qing beheaded the Venerable, the group of young disciples who were present recalled the terrifying scene before, shrinking in size and showing fear.
Jiang Gan took a step forward, raised his head high, and sneered:
"If we don't kill the King of Chu, won't the King of Chu send Ah Qing to take action? Since we have chosen to attack Lingzhou with all our strength, we are already life-and-death enemies. Wouldn't it be better to kill the King of Chu and leave Lingzhou in chaos?"
Xu Fengwu frowned.
Others also had a glimmer of understanding. Yes, since they were enemies of King Chu, they would have to deal with him sooner or later.
For a moment, everyone recognized Jiang Gan's words, and a small discussion broke out.
Cheng Yaojin saw a trace of amusement in the eyes of the two men who were confronting each other.
Xu Fengwu didn't know that Jiang Gan belonged to His Highness.
Guan Sheng glanced at Cheng Yaojin, who shook his head slightly, indicating that he would wait and see what would happen.
Because time was tight, Zhao Gao only informed Jiang Qian. Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng didn't know Li Yuan's plan yet.
But Cheng Yaojin believed that Jiang Gan could not harm His Highness. After all, he was also present and could spread the news at any time.
If Jiang Gan really has different intentions, he will be killed with an ax sooner or later!
Among the people of the Song family, Song Lan looked at Jiang Gan with a strange look. Facing the hesitation of everyone, he took a step forward, cupped his hands and said:
"Leader, I agree with Jiang Gan's suggestion. Killing King Chu in advance will make it easier to capture Lingzhou!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw the eldest son of the Song family standing up to support Jiang Qian's plan. Did Song Lan agree on behalf of the Song family?
Zhou Chi looked at Song Kong and saw Song Kong facing the crowd with a slight smile, expressing the Song family's attitude: "Our Huanzhou Alliance is now a grasshopper on the line. If we don't work together, we will be finished sooner or later."
"Brother Song really sees through it. The only way we can resolve the crisis in Huanzhou is to capture Lingzhou quickly at this moment, and solving the King of Chu is the fastest way. Do you still want to coexist peacefully with the King of Chu?"
Zhou Chi turned his eyes to the Black Flood Dragon Gang and felt a little dissatisfied. The Black Flood Dragon Gang and the Zhou family had always had a close relationship. Now the Black Flood Dragon Gang did not choose to support it, but the Song family chose to support it.
As soon as Zhou Chi's words came out, Xu Kuang sighed secretly, and then he cupped his hands and said: "The leader is right, we, the Black Dragon Gang, will naturally advance and retreat together."
Xu Fengwu frowned. She was not helpless, but glanced at Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng, who did not show any signs of anxiety. These two people knew that the Huanzhou Alliance was going to assassinate the King of Chu, but they did not react at all.
Could it be that they...
Xu Fengwu narrowed her eyes...
After seeing the Black Dragon Gang's agreement, people from the three parties all looked at the Wang family.
Wang Yan sighed secretly and looked at Jiang Gan with a solemn look. What a Jiang Gan who was loyal to the Zhou family!
Once this plan comes out, regardless of whether King Chu dies or not, Jiang Gan will definitely become the target of all the royal family!
Wang Cheng's expression did not change and he said calmly: "Yes!"
"Okay!" Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhou Chi shouted "Okay."
"Without further delay, the King of Chu is rushing back to Lingzhou. Where should we choose to intercept the King of Chu?"
Everyone's eyes were on Jiang Qian again. The reputation of the Yu Dynasty's royal family still remained. Smart people would naturally know where the best place to ambush was, but they left it to Jiang Qian.
Jiang Gan was not afraid, he raised his chest and raised his head and said: "Alliance leader, I think it is most appropriate to ambush in Lianzhou!"
"Lianzhou." Zhou Chi nodded, "What do you think?"
"Can!"
Everyone nodded.
"Then how many venerables should we send?" Wang Cheng asked.
Zhou Chi thought for a moment, looked at the three of them and said: "The King of Chu has reached the Dharma Realm. In the battle of Lingzhou, the combat power does not belong to the late Dharma Realm. How about each of our four major forces sending a peak Dharma Realm to go there?" ?”
"Can!"
"Time is tight, and our venerable ones cannot move, so we can only send the venerable ones who guard the family in Huanzhou!"
"Can!"
"But if we go to Lianzhou to intercept and kill the King of Chu, what will happen to the power of Lianzhou?" After seeing their discussion, Wang Yan raised a new question.
If you are not careful, you will arouse the anger of the Lianzhou forces against the Huanzhou Alliance.
"Lianzhou power, huh!" Zhou Chi snorted coldly and said in a disdainful tone: "They are a group of people who are timid and afraid of trouble. They just like to hide behind and enjoy the benefits. I don't believe they don't want to become the princes who dominate themselves."
Song Kong squinted his eyes and said, "This may be a good opportunity to drag Lianzhou into the water as well."
Wang Yan, Song Lan and others' eyes lit up and they showed sinister smiles.
"Okay, let's immediately inform our lords to go to Lianzhou immediately, and let them do the specific things. This matter can only be known by our four major forces now and cannot be passed on."
Zhou Chi glanced at everyone with a cold look in his eyes.
Everyone was frightened, and naturally they did not dare to expose the plan. If the plan was exposed and King Chu ran away, no one could save them.
……………………
In the Zhou family's tent, Zhou Chi was sitting on the throne, looking at Jiang Qian next to Zhou Quan with admiration, and said in a praising tone:
"Jiang Gan, if we win Lingzhou in this battle, you will be the first to win!"
"Tell me, what reward do you want?"
The children of the Zhou family below looked at Jiang Qian with envy, and Zhou Quan raised his head high, showing a proud smile.
The more powerful Jiang Gan is, the stronger he will be, and sooner or later the position of young master of the Zhou family will be his.
Zhou Qing looked at Jiang Qian who was mad with jealousy, and looked at the proud Zhou Quan with hatred, why didn't such an outstanding person turn to him, but to Zhou Quan, a loser.
"Thank you, Master, for the reward. It is your duty to make suggestions for the Zhou family. How can you ask for a reward?" Jiang Qian said respectfully.
"Haha, okay, Jiang Gan, you are very good. Don't worry, I promise you, as long as you are in our Zhou family, no one can hurt you!" Zhou Chi was very satisfied with Jiang Gan's performance.
"Thank you, Master!" Jiang Gan suddenly raised his head, showing excitement, and the only worry in his eyes disappeared.
"Don't worry, when we take Lingzhou, my Zhou family will never treat you badly!" Seeing Jiang Gan's worried expression, Zhou Chi felt more relieved and smiled lightly.
Jiang Gan is tied to his Zhou family, so he will naturally not treat talented people badly.
"Zhou Quan, you've been doing well during this period, very good, keep up the good work!"
"Yes, father!"
When Zhou Quan heard Zhou Chi praising him, his face was filled with excitement, and he looked at Jiang Gan with great gratitude.
He knows all this thanks to Jiang Gan!
The senior officials of the Zhou family looked at Zhou Quan and showed kind smiles.
Only the people on Zhou Qing's side looked gloomy.
"Haha, you go down and prepare, we will definitely take down King Chu this time!"
Thinking that other forces would be in the same boat as the Zhou family in the future, Zhou Chi couldn't help but burst out laughing with joy.
"yes!"
……………………
Five days later, Li Yuan hurriedly left Zhongzhou and entered the territory of Lianzhou.
On the main road in Yinghui County, Liancang Mansion, the largest of the eight mansions in Lianzhou, a luxurious carriage was driving at a fast speed, which was extremely eye-catching. Seeing this, pedestrians on the road backed down one after another, and then cursed angrily.
The sun was scorching, and in a tea shed on the roadside, Li Yuan was sitting here drinking tea and resting with "Little Ye Zi" who had his head lowered.
This tea shed is not big or small. There are five or six tables placed in the shed, which can just cover the hot sun. It is leaning against a few big trees and looks particularly cool. If you add a bowl of tea, it will be very comfortable. Open the tea shed There were two of them, one who looked decrepit in his sixties or seventies but was quite efficient at work, and the other who looked like a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Little Leaf" was sweating profusely. He picked up the big bowl of tea and drank it in big gulps.
Li Yuan, also wearing ordinary clothes, sat quietly on a chair, scanning the tea guests around him with a faint gaze, as if he was wary of something.
Because of the hot weather, there are quite a few guests here. Because the refreshing herbal tea makes people feel good and talk more.
I saw four people at the table across the table talking quietly about the affairs of Lian Cang Mansion.
"Alas, the world today is so chaotic. I don't even know when a disaster or man-made disaster will befall us." A middle-aged man with a sad face sighed.
"Who says it's not the case? Now the government doesn't work anymore. Now those big families are buying and selling land for us common people, squeezing the people. Last time, the family of seven refused to accept the Zhao family's tyranny and prepared to go to the government to file a complaint. Zhao was The family members were killed in the street in front of the government office, and the officials did not even dare to say a word." The man next to him spoke softer and quieter, and glanced around, fearing that others would hear him.
But the tea shed is such a small place, how could the people around not hear it.
The smiles on their faces gradually disappeared, and each of them became dull. They lowered their heads and sighed, feeling the same.
The old man in linen clothes next to him said with a sad expression: "We are not the same. A few days ago, a family member came to our village and recruited young and strong men from our village to join the private army. Now is the busy time for farming. If they If we leave, how will we harvest the food in the fields? We won’t even survive the winter, so many people have gone up to the mountains to hide.”
A sturdy man in commoner clothes from the same village as him slammed the tea table: "If these sons of bitches really make me angry, I will kill him and go to Liangshan Village!"
"It's necessary." The old man in Mai quickly stopped him from continuing. "If you kill him out of anger, our whole village will be doomed!"
"Then let's all go to Liangshan Village. I heard that the leader of Liangshan Village, Song Jiang, is extremely benevolent and dedicated to protecting us suffering people. He will definitely take us in." The rough man's eyes flickered, showing a very emotional expression.
During this period, Liangshan Village became famous, and everyone spread the word that Liangshan heroes drew their swords to help when they encountered injustice.
In particular, the leader of the village, Song Jiang, was unparalleled in his benevolence and righteousness. He was generous and loving to his brothers. He never robbed the suffering people. He was generous and generous when meeting people in need. He was grateful to countless people and was known as Song Jiang, the timely rain!
"No, no, no, no matter how good Song Jiang is, he is still a bandit. Sooner or later, the government will suppress him. Let's just stay calm and think about how to spend the winter this year." The old man in Mai shook his head.
"Old man, what you said is wrong. In today's world, who would be willing to be a bandit if not forced by life? I also heard that the leader of Song Village was originally a wealthy businessman. He couldn't bear to see the ragged bandits along the way. , and let them go back and live a good life through righteousness and wealth. Those bandits were attracted by Song Jiang's charm and were willing to follow Song Jiang.
Song Jiang wanted to take them to live a good life in the city, but unfortunately the big families looked down on the poor people and often made trouble for them. In the end, the leader of the village became a bandit out of anger in order to prevent them from living a miserable life. "" When a man with slightly clean clothes talked about Song Jiang, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"And because of the situation in Song Jiang and Liangshan Village, the robbers on the road were either subdued by Song Jiang or disbanded by Song Jiang. The land with a radius of hundreds of miles in Liangshan Village was peaceful. Many displaced people went there, and neither the government nor the big forces dared Guan has become the last piece of pure land in Liancang Mansion, and many benevolent and righteous people have gone there."
"Well, I've also heard about Song Jiang. He is indeed a good man. Many people from our side have gone to seek refuge with him."
"Yes, there used to be a bandit in our town who was wiped out by Liangshan Village. The leader of Song Village heard that he had an old mother and gave him ten taels of silver to come back and take care of her. When he came back, he immediately took care of her. My mother has gone to Liangshan Village to pick her up."
The guests next to him also spoke one after another when they heard Song Jiang's name.
The rough man's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said to the old man from the same village: "How about I go and take a look."
Mai held the rough man with one hand and said with a pleading look: "You can't go. You are the strongest person in our village and a master of the ninth level of martial arts. If you are here, they can still give you some face. If you leave, we will What should we do if our village is oppressed?”
"this……"
With the people in the village on one side and the admiring Song Jiang on the other, the rough man sighed, lowered his head and drank tea.
Seeing the rough man's depressed expression, the man just walked over from the table and said with a smile:
"This righteous man, I am going to take refuge in Liangshan Village. You can tell me about your suffering. The leader of Song Village is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. If he learns that you are suffering, he will definitely bring people to help you."
"Really?"
The thick man and the old man in Mai looked at this man excitedly.
"certainly!"
"Okay, okay, thank you so much, young hero!" the old man in Mai said very gratefully.
"Ye Zi, it's time for us to go."
Xiao Yezi, who was listening to their conversation attentively, stood up quickly when he heard Li Yuan's voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty... Young Master."
The two of them walked to an ordinary carriage under a big tree. "Little Leaf" skillfully controlled the carriage, and Li Yuan got in.
"drive!"
The two drove away quickly in the carriage.
After seeing Li Yuan go away, the old man in the tea shed nodded slightly to the young man who took action.
The young man walked behind the tea shed without any abnormality, and a small black eagle flew high into the sky in an instant...
The guests in the tea shed continued to talk, one group left, and another group came.
The old man entertained them warmly.
……………………
Two days later, Li Yuan had just left Liancang Mansion in a carriage. On the path in the mountains and dense forests, "Little Leaf" drove the carriage at high speed, but he did not see five figures appearing in the sky!
I saw four of them teleporting to the sky above the speeding carriage, and at the same time, they released their prepared ultimate moves and directly hit the carriage!
Boom!
The situation suddenly changed, shaking like a falling meteorite or a mountain falling and the ground cracking!
The mountains, rivers and earth shook, and the sound resounded throughout the universe!
At this moment, under the full attack of the four peak sages, all the mountains and trees within a radius of ten miles were reduced to ashes, and all the mountains collapsed!
