Dynasty Call: Low-Key Struggle for Hegemony

Chapter 249 Li Yuan Is Attacked Again

"Liu...Liu Captain is dead...!"

The messenger trembled slightly as his whole body was under tremendous pressure.

Liu Xuekun's face was extremely gloomy, with a cold murderous intent.

Huang Jingyi, the elder of Ice and Snow Pavilion, couldn't help but frown. When Liu Xuekun arrived with her, they also learned during the chat that Liu Hongzhi was his beloved son.

Lu Junyi's expression was also not good. He waved his sleeves, and the aura of the peak Tianwu Realm surged out to eliminate Liu Xuekun's murderous intention. He asked the messenger in a deep voice: "What is going on in this battle? Please tell me in detail."

"Yes~"

The messenger felt the pressure all over his body disappear and he breathed a sigh of relief. After looking at Liu Xuekun in fear, he said in detail:

"After Elder Lin Gao was killed in a sneak attack by Yang Zhi of Liangshan Village, the entire military camp had no opponents. The masters of various families were also killed by Yang Zhi, and the military camp was in chaos...

In the end, only Lieutenant Luo led some soldiers to break out of the siege of Liangshan Village, and now they are rushing back..."

At this time, outside the mansion, the heads of the families rushed over anxiously. Apparently they had also received the news of the defeat.

They rushed to the Sheriff's Mansion as soon as possible.

"Lord Sheriff, you must make the decision for us!"

As soon as a family head came in, he cried bitterly that his most beloved son also died at the hands of Liangshan Village.

Originally, he thought that it was just a copycat and could be easily solved by the alliance of major families, so that his son could be gilded and take over the position of young master when he came back. Unexpectedly, he was fine when he went there, but now he can't come back.

But among the family heads, the one who felt the most distressed was Lin Zhiyang.

What the Lin family lost was the Great Elder of the Tianwu Realm. A strong man in the Tianwu Realm who rarely appeared in a hundred years was just gone. At this moment, he felt extremely resentful towards Liangshan Village.

Lin Zhiyang's eyes were red, he bent down and bowed down and said directly: "Master Lu, Liangshan Village has to be eliminated. I beg Master Lu to take action to destroy Liangshan Village!"

The head of the Jiang family, the head of the Sun family, and others bowed down one by one:

"I sincerely request Mr. Lu to take action to destroy Liangshan Village."

Liu Xuekun was full of murderous intent. He slapped the seat with his hand, and instantly exploded the coffee tables and chairs around them into pieces, sending sawdust flying!

"Kill! I want my son to be buried with him in Liangshan Village!"

What else could Lu Junyi say at this time, with a cold expression on his face, "Elder Huang, can you go forward with me to destroy Liangshan Village?"

When Huang Jingyi faced Lu Junyi's invitation and saw Liu Xuekun who was full of murderous intent, she could only nod.

"good!"

"Xiao Yi, you stay in the county and town to guard. Anyone who dares to cause trouble during my absence will be killed!"

"Yes, sir!" Yan Qing stepped forward and accepted the order solemnly.

"Elder Liu, Elder Huang, let's go!"

boom!

The three experts at the top of the Tianwu Realm exploded with momentum, took off in the air, and flew away into the sky!

All the family heads looked up at their retreating figures, their eyes full of confidence. This time Liangshan Village was dead.

Three experts at the top of the Tianwu Realm couldn't defeat a Liangshan village?

……………………

On the main road from Lingzhou to Huanzhou, passers-by ran to both sides. The caravans and carriages stopped, and everyone looked at the majestic and mighty cavalry with fearful eyes.

I saw a big red flag with the word "Chu" in gold floating in the air, and below it were all red-armored cavalry, with hundreds of steel armors, majestic red cavalry, walking indifferently on the road, well-trained.

In the center of this well-trained cavalry, five three-foot-tall flaming lions pulled a huge and luxurious chariot, wrapped in silk on all sides, and the gold-inlaid windows were covered by a curtain of light blue crepe. It's so gorgeous that people can't notice it.

The King of Chu's escort, three thousand red-armored cavalry previously trained by Yuwen Chengdu, officially appeared.

In the car, it was Li Yuan who had been handling government affairs in Lingzhou for several days. He had finally finished handling the government affairs in Lingzhou and was now heading to Huanzhou.

In the car, besides Li Yuan, there were Zhao Gao, Xu Kuang, Song Kong, and Xiao Yezi.

Zhao Gao had already sneaked around Huanzhou and came back to show Li Yuan the way.

"Gang Leader Xu, Leader Song, are you familiar with the top forces in Liangzhou?"

Li Yuan blew the hot tea in the cup, and the special fragrance hit his face. He asked the two of them with a smile in his eyes.

When he learned that the Wang family was actually Prince Yu's secret agent, Li Yuan paid great attention to Prince Yu, who was far away in Liang and Yangzhou in the north of the dynasty.

King Yu, who had such means, was at odds with the Liangzhou forces?

This had to arouse Li Yuan's curiosity.

Xu Kuang hesitated slightly, a little confused:

"The twelve states of the Yu Dynasty were extremely vast. Liangzhou is far away from us. I do have some experience with its top powers, but I am not very familiar with them."

Li Yuan nodded slightly to express his understanding. The establishment of the Black Dragon Gang was relatively short, and it was normal for the intelligence on Liangzhou to be insufficient.

Li Yuan turned his eyes to Song Kong, who pondered for a while and said:

"Your Highness, my Song family has a close relationship with a big force in Liangzhou."

"Oh? How powerful are they?"

Song Kong sat upright and explained in a serious tone: "Liangzhou, as a border state, is very powerful. There are six major forces. The one our Song family is in contact with is the Dongyu family. Their family ranks fourth in Liangzhou. The strength is evenly matched.”

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows. The Song family's strength ranked second in Huanzhou. Among the three sages, Song Yaohui was at the peak of the Dharma Realm. There was also an ancestor who was in charge of the family at the late stage of the Dazun Realm. Song Kong was at the early stage of the Dazun Realm. This kind of strength was unparalleled in Liangzhou. Can only be ranked fourth?

Xu Kuang added: "Among the twelve states of the Dayu Dynasty, apart from Zhongzhou, Zhaozhou, Danzhou, Yizhou, and Liangzhou were the four strongest states, followed by Fengzhou, Yanzhou, and Lianzhou , and finally Qingzhou, Huanzhou, Yangzhou, and Lingzhou.”

Hearing Xu Kuang's explanation, a flash of light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes. In addition to Zhaozhou, weren't Danzhou, Yizhou and Liangzhou the places chosen by the three kings?

As for Zhaozhou, Chu Junyan and Chu Qingyan were also divided into Lingzhou...

"Now Danzhou has been captured by King Xuan, and Yizhou has been captured by King Ming. King Yu, who took the initiative to choose Liangzhou, was a little slow..." Li Yuan said with a deep and meaningful look in his eyes.

Xu Kuang and Song Kong looked at each other. Although they knew what King Chu was suspecting, they wanted to say that there were exceptions to everything. It was impossible for members of the royal family to easily solve the major states.

But considering that four of the six major forces in Danzhou were members of Prince Xuan, and only the Zhou family was not a member of the royal family among the four major forces in Huanzhou, they had no confidence to refute.

"Ahem, it's understandable that Liangzhou was not captured by King Yu." Song Kong coughed and said.

"Oh? Why?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

"Before, when our major states were preparing to raise armies, we all conspired... we contacted each other secretly, and we also had some speculations about the three kings' actions..." Song Kong was a little embarrassed to speak. Now he told a prince about his rebellion. It's a bit embarrassing.

"Continue." Li Yuan was not surprised at all. Before the various forces in the major states rebelled against the imperial court, they must have been connected.

"At that time, we had some vague guesses that King Ming might come to Yizhou, while King Xuan might go to Qingzhou, and King Yu would go to Yangzhou."

"Prince Xuan's mother's family is from Qingzhou, and Prince Yu's mother's family is from Yangzhou. I know it well, but why can you guess that Prince Ming will come to Yizhou?"

I don’t know if it was because Emperor Yu once concealed it, or if it was the result of the three kings deliberately hiding it.

Li Yuan didn't know enough about the past affairs of the three kings than these top forces.

In the past, when he was in the palace, he always lay flat and didn't care about anything. He just wanted to be a prince quietly and didn't dare to observe them.

After leaving Kyoto and arriving in Lingzhou, they had no time to care about the three kings who were far away in the states. They only knew that after they chose the states, they could suppress all the forces as soon as they went to the states. They were very strong and everything they could find out was revealed by them. Big event.

In the newly established expert factory in Kyoto, Liu Jin only found out some of the methods hidden by the three kings in Kyoto.

"Because Ji Wushuang!"

Xu Kuang and Song Kong said in unison.

"Prince Ming once had contact with Ji Wushuang?"

"When King Ming was a boy, he commanded the army under Ji Wushuang for two years." Song Kong said.

Xu Kuang also showed a hint of admiration on his face: "At that time, King Ming hid his identity and secretly went to Yizhou. When he was finally summoned back by Emperor Yu, the truth about his identity was revealed."

Song Kong nodded and continued: "Well, just because of this matter, the four major families in Yizhou were already prepared to resist King Ming. However, they did not expect that King Ming had a better move. As soon as he arrived in Yizhou, the Zheng family rebelled. As a result, all Yizhou plans were disrupted and we were in a hurry."

"That's it." Li Yuan nodded.

Song Kong continued: "The situation in Liangzhou should be the same. Ten years ago, Emperor Yu placed Yu Fuluo in Qingzhou and Wucheng in Yangzhou. We all thought that Emperor Yu's plan for ten years was to make King Xuan and King Yu Qingzhou and Yangzhou were chosen, so the various forces in Liangzhou were deployed in Yangzhou very early, and nearly half of their strength was hidden in Yangzhou, waiting for the arrival of King Yu.

Unfortunately, they didn't expect Wu Chengcheng to hold back their power in Yangzhou, and King Yu forced his way into Liangzhou, leaving them in a hurry.

After they reacted, their strength gradually returned, and it was normal to suppress King Yu. "

"What's the current situation in Yangzhou?" Li Yuan asked.

"The various forces in Liangzhou have also attracted the big forces in Yangzhou and can contain the fifth Chengcheng." Song Kong knew everything.

"Then Master Song, can you still contact the Dongyu family now?"

Song Kong understood what Li Yuan meant and shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it's no longer possible. Everyone in the world knows that our Song family has taken refuge in His Highness the King of Chu. It's impossible for them to trust me again."

Li Yuan nodded calmly. He just asked casually and glanced at Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao nodded slightly when he saw this. Now that Luo Wang and the expert factory have joined forces, it is enough to cover up the identities of the three colleagues.

Li Yuan had been very wary of King Yu before. King Xuan had already captured Danzhou and was at war with Zhenguo Mansion. King Ming had captured Yizhou and was about to capture Fengzhou. However, King Yu hadn't even taken control of a single state. How could this be possible? ?

Unless King Yu has a big plan!

When he found out that the Wang family was the secret son of Prince Yu, Li Yuan believed in his judgment even more.

Li Yuan closed his eyes, a rough map of each state appeared in his mind, and fell into thinking.

Liangzhou is located on the northern border of the Imperial Dynasty, separated from Zhongzhou by Yangzhou, and adjacent to Yanzhou and Qingzhou.

If King Yu takes Liangzhou and Yangzhou, then if he wants to expand his power again, he will either attack Zhongzhou or Yanzhou.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan couldn't help but frown, and he had a new question.

If King Yu now has the strength to capture Liang and Yangzhou and attack Yanzhou, it would be a very good choice.

After all, the Yanzhou Alliance is now in a melee with Chu Junyan and the imperial army in Qingzhou.

Li Yuan's heart moved.

wrong! wrong!

There are also Zhenguofu and Prince Xuan!

If the Zhenguo government knew that King Yu wanted to take Yanzhou, what would they do?

If so, King Yu would have saved King Xuan from the situation, but exposed himself.

But wouldn't it be good to join forces with Prince Xuan and the imperial army to destroy the Zhenguo Mansion?

Li Yuan shook his head slightly again. King Yu had an overall view and could not leave the Zhenguo government alone.

So what is King Yu waiting for?

Li Yuan thought of the key forces in his mind.

Southwest Town Guofu and Prince Xuan?

Dong Mian himself and Nan Mingwang?

Zhongzhou Li Yao and Li Heng?

These figures flashed through Li Yuan's mind one by one.

Xu Kuang and Song Kong saw Li Yuan closing his eyes and thinking. They sat upright and drank tea silently.

However, Song Kong's eyes swept over and over again, with a tangled look on his face, and he looked at Li Yuan but hesitated to speak.

Song Kong has been feeling a sense of urgency these days. He has learned that the Black Dragon Gang negotiated a condition when they took refuge with the King of Chu, which was to make Xu Fengwu his concubine.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu agreed.

A few days ago, when Xu Kuang told the news very proudly, he and Lieyan Sect Liu Qingquan were standing aside.

Originally, he had nothing to do, but later Liu Qingquan also said with some pride that his only daughter had a good relationship with His Royal Highness the King of Chu. She was initially sent to the King of Chu, but now she has won the trust of the King of Chu and allowed Liu Yanxin to study with Xun Yu.

What does Liu Qingquan mean by riding a horse? How can he not understand?

Now His Highness the King of Chu has a total of three major forces taking refuge. The daughters of the two leaders of these forces have a close relationship with His Highness the King of Chu. If nothing happens, they will all become the concubines of His Highness the King of Chu.

Only the Song family is still watching!

Therefore, Song Kong was worried. He also had a well-educated daughter, and she was also a lady. She was much better than the daughters of these two old guys. Was he going to be compared with them?

no!

Song Kong's sharp gaze glanced at him from time to time, how could Li Yuan not feel it.

Li Yuan opened his eyes slightly, and when he was about to ask Song Kong what happened, Zhao Gao in the corner suddenly opened his eyes!

"Your Highness, be careful!"

A Dharma Master Realm aura suddenly erupted. Zhao Gao's hands were suddenly filled with blood-red evil energy, and the surrounding space seemed to boil. His blood-red hands turned into sharp claws and struck behind Li Yuan!

Clang!

The back wall of the carriage suddenly exploded, and a flash of extreme sword light flashed through. The curtain behind the carriage was cut through with a sword. Zhao Gao's bloody claws with all his strength hit the sword, and it was broken in half in an instant. Cut to Li Yuan mercilessly!

He is the assassin of a peak venerable!

When Li Yuan heard Zhao Gao's call, his figure had already moved!

"How brave!"

Xu Kuang and Song Kong were furious. The Venerable's momentum exploded and he blasted the assassin with his true energy!

Zhao Gao instantly moved to Li Yuan's side and clasped his hands, blood-red evil energy permeating his body, and a thick blood shield blocking him.

Boom!

The luxurious carriage exploded instantly!
