Chapter 218 The Situation in Prince Chu’s Mansion

In Linrong Mansion, in the government office, a series of important officials such as Mo Ziyan, Zhou Xuan, Zheng Shunfa and others were reporting to Xun Yu on the work of each government.

After the report was completed, the hall fell into silence. Their eyes were fixed on the calm Xun Yu above, and they hesitated to speak, but hesitated to speak.

Xun Yu sat on the table and looked at the documents in his hands intently, turning a blind eye to the gazes of the people below.

Li Xiangyang, a descendant of the royal family, was once sent by the royal family to support Li Yuan.

The tall and burly Li Jingqiong, who is also a member of the royal family, coughed slightly and motioned to Li Xiangyang with crazy eyes.

Li Xiangyang saw that Xun Yu didn't have any pretense on his expression, and his eyes showed confusion, so he continued to remain silent.

The officials in the lobby looked around, but no one dared to speak.

After a while, Xun Yu finally put down the documents, looked at the officials, knowing what they were thinking, and said calmly:

"You can ask whatever you want."

After hearing Xun Yu's words, everyone's eyes flickered and they looked up at each other, expecting who would speak first.

Many eyes were on Mo Ziyan, after all, he was the first person to follow King Chu.

Facing the expectations of everyone, Mo Ziyan closed his eyes slightly and remained calm, with no intention of speaking.

Although he was also confused, there was someone who was more anxious than him, so why was he anxious?

"If you are fine, just step back." Xun Yu said calmly.

Sure enough, some officials couldn't sit still. An official in the middle stood up and said with a smile on his face:

"Master Xun, it's like this. Recently, there is news that His Highness was... ambushed. The people below are a little panicked and worried. Therefore, we want to ask about His Highness's situation in order to appease the hearts of the people below. "

"That's right, it's been more than ten days since His Highness left Beijing. It's time to return to Lingzhou."

"We haven't seen Your Highness for a long time, and we miss you very much."

Some officials also spoke.

Xun Yu glanced at these officials lightly, picked up the documents on the other side of the desk, and said casually:

"I know what you are thinking. Yes, His Highness was sneak attacked by the Honorable Huanzhou Alliance."

Xun Yu said it openly.

"this…………"

Many officials swallowed their saliva, their hearts beating rapidly.

Are the rumors true and His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really gone?

What should they do?

Some officials loyal to Li Yuan looked pale and had disbelief in their eyes.

What's more, after hearing the news from Xun Yu, he was trembling all over and said in fear:

"Master Xun, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is gone, what should we do?"

"The Huanzhou Alliance attacked the King of Chu. They are likely to attack Lingzhou. How can we resist them?"

"Yes, the Huanzhou Alliance is too cruel. Without His Highness, we can't resist it at all." The officials nearby whispered.

Xun Yu did not move, his eyes slowly swept over these officials, and he snorted coldly!

"snort!"

Suddenly, the whole hall became empty. These noisy officials seemed to be weighed down by a mountain. The oppressive suffocation made them close their mouths and blush.

Xun Yu said coldly: "What, are you cursing His Highness to death?

Mo Ziyan and Zhou Xuan's eyes suddenly opened.

Officials:? ? ?

The official who first asked the question had his eyes widened and stammered:

"Master Xun, you...you mean that His Highness...His Highness was not...attacked and killed by the Huanzhou Alliance."

A pair of blazing eyes looked at Xun Yu.

"His Highness was indeed attacked by the Huanzhou Alliance, but what kind of person is His Highness? How could he be killed by a mere Huanzhou Alliance." When Xun Yu talked about the Huanzhou Alliance, a fierce murderous intention came out, and the lobby was filled with a sense of foreboding. breath.

"Then... where is His Highness now?" an official asked excitedly.

"Although His Highness escaped their attack, he was seriously injured and is now..."

The words suddenly stopped, Xun Yu's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and everyone was shocked.

"Where?" The official was itching inwardly.

"His Highness is currently recovering from his injuries in a hidden place. He is protected by Miss A Qing. I believe it won't be long before His Highness appears in front of you." Xun Yu said seriously.

After hearing Xun Yu's words, Mo Ziyan, Zhou Xuan and others breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that Your Highness is safe."

But there are also many officials who look questioningly.

"While His Highness is recovering from his injuries, you must take good care of the people below and avoid causing any trouble."

Xun Yu glanced at everyone with his sharp eyes and reminded, and the officials he glanced at lowered their heads one by one.

Seeing this, Xun Yu smiled slightly, stood up, and threw away the document casually.

"Especially the rumors about the Huanzhou Alliance can easily shake the forces that are not firm in their hearts. You should be able to manage the forces below, right?"

Mo Ziyan and Zhou Xuan looked at each other, determination flashed in their eyes. They had already suspected before that how could such a shrewd person like His Highness die so easily? They both stood up at the same time and said:

"I will obey Lord Xun's order and we will do our best to maintain the stability of the county."

"I will definitely wait for His Highness to return!" The officials who were truly loyal to the Chu Palace stood up and said in unison.

At this moment, even the officials who had already suspected Li Yuan's death could only agree.

What can they do if they don't agree with them?

Rebellion?

Just kidding, Xun Yu's attitude just now was very obvious. Did he question whether King Chu was really dead and let King Chu come out while he was recovering from his injuries?

He doesn't know whether King Chu will die by then, but he will definitely die.

Just as Jia Xu thought, before the Huanzhou Alliance invaded, the Lingzhou prefectures would not have trouble so quickly.

…………………………

In a large courtyard, after seeing Li Xiangyang and Li Jingqiong returning, the dashing Li Yunxin had already prepared tea and stretched out her hand to signal them to sit down.

"How's it going? Did you see anything?"

Li Xiangyang picked up the tea cup, his furrowed brows never loosening, and his mind kept recalling Xun Yu's every move just now.

After Li Jingqiong picked up the tea cup and drank it in one sip, she sat down on the seat, her eyes a little sad but also a little happy.

"Xun Yu said that the King of Chu was not dead, but was seriously injured. He was hiding to recover from his injuries and could not appear in public for the time being."

"Is this what Xun Yu said?" Li Yunxin's eyes moved slightly, and there was neither surprise nor sigh on her face. She looked at Li Xiangyang as usual.

Li Xiangyang met Li Yunxin's gaze and nodded: "Yes, that's what Xun Yu meant, but I don't know if this is to stabilize us or if it's true."

Li Xiangyang saw nothing in Xun Yu and answered honestly.

"If you ask me, King Chu has always been good to us. Let's just obey Xun Yu's orders honestly. Why bother with Emperor Yao's orders? He can't control it now." As Li Jingqiong spoke, she revealed A secret.

A few days ago, Li Yao had contacted these three royal children, informed them that Li Yuan was dead, asked them to surrender to him, and promised them huge profits to secretly subdue the officials of the Chu Palace for him at this time, so that he could send them here later. The people who take over Lingzhou are ready.

"Li Xiangyang, what do you mean?" Li Yunxin narrowed her eyes after hearing Li Jingqiong's words.

Li Xiangyang's frown deepened. When he received Li Yao's letter, his mind and heart became more active.

If the King of Chu really dies, and he is a member of the royal family, if he can subdue most of the officials in the King of Chu's palace, gain the approval of Emperor Yao, and then work hard to get Emperor Yao to support him in becoming the governor of Lingzhou, he can take over the reins again. Maybe the Prince of Chu’s Mansion.

Li Yunxin saw Li Xiangyang's expression and knew what he was thinking. She smiled and said:

"Don't forget, there is still a problem. How will Xun Yu and the others solve the Huanzhou Alliance?"

Li Xiangyang's face darkened. Indeed, the Huanzhou Alliance must be ready to attack Lingzhou now. If Yaohuang's reinforcements haven't arrived yet, the Huanzhou Alliance will attack here and everything will stop.

"So what are your thoughts?" Li Xiangyang asked, staring at Li Yunxin.

"My thoughts?" Li Yunxin stretched her waist lazily and said with a smile:

“The most important thing now is whether King Chu is dead or not!

Only when I understand this matter will I think about what to do next. "

"I agree!" Li Jingqiong supported.

Li Xiangyang looked at the two people silently, and finally nodded slowly.

…………………………

At this moment, in the palace of Prince Chu, Xun Yu was also receiving three people, Li Mu, a royal sage in the late stage of Dazun Realm, Jiang Lao and Li Sheng, strong men at the peak of Tianwu Realm.

In the room, Li Mu took out a gilded letter and handed it to Xun Yu. Li Mu, who had always been kind-hearted, said with a serious face:

"Prefect Xun, you are the most trusted person by King Chu. You should know whether King Chu is dead or not.

I just asked, is the King of Chu still alive? "

This letter was written by Li Yao to Li Mu, and the content in it is self-evident.

Li Sheng had no expression on his face, and he also took out the same letter and said: "Prefect Xun, we were sent by the late emperor to protect King Chu. If King Chu is still alive, we will never betray him, but if King Chu really If he dies, the situation in Lingzhou will fall into a real crisis. We can only cooperate with the royal family to control Lingzhou, and we must not allow other forces to occupy Lingzhou again."

Mr. Jiang also had a look of anxiety in his eyes: "Prefect Xun, we are very worried about the safety of King Chu. If you give us an accurate letter, don't you even believe us?"

Xun Yu looked at the two letters, his eyes flickered, and he raised his hands and said solemnly: "Actually, if the three of them had not come to see Xun Yu, Xun Yu would have come to see the three of them. His Highness is indeed not dead."

The eyes of Li Mu and the three of them flashed, and they all showed a hint of smile.

"Okay, I know that King Chu will not die." Jiang Lao smiled the most happily.

"Then what does King Chu want us to do now?" Li Mu's serious face relaxed. Since Li Yuan is not dead, it means that some plan is being implemented.

Li Sheng also nodded.

"Now that the Huanzhou Alliance army has arrived at the border, His Highness needs you to secretly go to Lingyun Mansion and follow Master Li Sili's arrangements." Xun Yu said in a deep voice.

"good!"

At the same time, Liu Qingquan, who was guarding Linghong Mansion, also received a letter in the secret room. After reading the letter, he laughed loudly and flew towards Lingyun Mansion.

………………………………

The next morning, Xu Bao from the Black Dragon Gang, led by a strong man from the Tianwu Realm, rushed to Huanlin City overnight.

"You said that Yang Zaitian, the great elder of Lieyan Sect, contacted you secretly and wanted to join our Huanzhou Alliance?"

In the Black Dragon Gang camp, Xu Kuang looked at Xu Bao, who was standing in the center with his head held high and his aura of pride almost overflowing, and said in surprise.

"Yes, father, when Yang Zaitian learned about the death of King Chu, he was immediately willing to abandon the dark side and join the bright side, joining our Huanzhou Alliance." Xu Bao saw the shocked expressions of Xu Shenglong, Xu Hu, Xu Tian and other brothers beside him, and he didn't know how comfortable he felt. , said with a proud look on his face.

I didn’t expect that I could still make great achievements by staying in Huanzhou!

Even Xu Fengwu on the side was a little surprised. Lieyan Sect Yang Zaitian wanted to defect to the Huanzhou Alliance?

Xu Tian didn't believe it at first: "The Lieyan Sect was the first to seek refuge with the King of Chu. How could it be possible that it would be willing to seek refuge with us? I don't believe it!"

Faced with Xu Tian's disbelief, Xu Bao snorted coldly: "Hmph, when did I say that Lieyan Sect surrendered to us? What I said was that Yang Zaitian was willing to surrender to us."

"Does Yang Zaitian want to betray Lieyan Sect? Betray Liu Qingquan?" Xu Shenglong asked in surprise.

"No, it was Yang Zaitian who wanted to get rid of Liu Qingquan and Liu Chenfeng and regain control of Lieyan Sect. Yang Zaitian suspected that Liu Qingquan was responsible for the death of the Yang family, so he hated him deeply. Liu Qingquan has always been the member of the royal family who stayed in Lieyan Sect. Yan Zong's spies..." Xu Bao raised his head and said proudly, and then told the story of the grievances between Yang Zaitian and Liu Qingquan.

When Xu Bao explained the blood feud between Yang Zaitian and Liu Qingquan, everyone present knew what was going on and believed it in their hearts.

"I see, Liu Qingquan deserves to die. If I were Yang Zaitian, I would kill Liu Qingquan." After Xu Fengwu's death, Niu Zhan agreed with Yang Zaitian.

"But why did Yang Zaitian contact you instead of contacting his father directly?" Xu Tian looked at Xu Bao, feeling very jealous.

When Xu Bao heard this, he immediately became angry: "Xu Tian, ​​what do you mean? Why can't Yang Zaitian contact me?"

"I'm just curious. Isn't it okay to ask?"

"You are curious, you are curious every day. If Yang Zaitian is not looking for me, not our Black Dragon Gang, but other forces, do you also have to ask Yang Zaitian why he is looking for them instead of us!" Xu Bao directly criticized Xu Tian .

Xu Tian blushed with anger and pointed at Xu Bao but was unable to refute.

Xu Shenglong looked at Xu Bao with a hint of envy: "Except for our Black Flood Dragon Gang, the three top factions are all aristocratic families, and their attitudes may not be good. Therefore, it was normal for Yang Zaitian to come to our Black Flood Dragon Gang, and at that time we were all benefiting. In Huanzhou, only the fourth brother is still in Huanzhou, so Yang Zaitian can only find the fourth brother."

When the others heard Xu Shenglong's explanation, they all nodded in agreement. This was the only explanation.

Xu Bao said: "Father, Yang Zaitian said that as long as the Huanzhou Alliance agrees to help him get rid of Liu Qingquan and Liu Chenfeng, in order to express his sincerity, he can first cooperate with our Huanzhou Alliance to eliminate the two generals Ma Chao and Xu Chu of Lingyun Prefecture, as well as ten generals. Wan Dajun!"

Everyone's expressions were shocked. They were still discussing how to take down Lingyun Mansion last night, but now they are here soon.

Xu Fengwu frowned. The reason why her father and Xu Shenglong believed in Yang Zaitian so quickly was that, in addition to what Liu Qingquan did to Yang Zaitian, the most important factor was that Li Yuan was dead!

This made them believe Yang Zaitian so easily.

But Xu Fengwu knew that Li Yuan was not dead at all.

Therefore, Yang Zaitian was probably a trap to lure the Huanzhou Alliance into a trap.

When Xu Fengwu was sure that this was Li Yuan's purpose, she unconsciously looked at Cheng Yaojin. When she met Cheng Yaojin's half-smiling eyes, her mind was shocked!

No, Li Yuan has another purpose!

He was forcing her, forcing the Black Dragon Gang to rebel!
