Dynasty Call: Low-Key Struggle for Hegemony

Chapter 357 Huanqing City

It has been five days since the army of Lianhuan Mansion was defeated. Zhongli Mei, Ma Chao, Xu Chu, and Guan Sheng captured all counties in Lianhuan Mansion within these five days. Meng Tian has also led the army into Lianhuan Mansion.

The 1.2 million troops of the Lianzhou Alliance also gathered in Qingmu City on the border of Lianqing Prefecture.

Facing only 800,000 troops in Lianhuan Mansion, they did not dare to step into Lianhuan Mansion.

Because they already knew that Venerable Fengxuelou Lian disappeared without a trace, and they didn't know how many powerful men Li Yuan had hidden in Lianhuan Mansion, so no one dared to step into Lianhuan Mansion.

King Yu has already entered Lianzhou and will arrive at Qingmu City in three days at most.

Huanqing City in Lianhuan Prefecture is only fifty miles away from Qingmu City. Meng Tian has gathered an army of 600,000 in this city.

Li Yuan, led by Yuwen Chengdu and others, have arrived at Huanqing City.

In the lobby of Huanqing City, Li Yuan sat high in the main seat. Below him on the left and right sides were Meng Tian, ​​Jia Xu, Zhong Lizhen, Ma Chao, Xu Chu, Guan Sheng, Fang Shiyuan and other generals. They were majestic and had bright eyes, faintly revealing A rush of excitement.

Ten venerables, Yuwen Chengdu, Li Mu, Liu Qingquan, Liu Chenfeng, Xu Kuang, Xu Xiong, Wei Shan, Song Yaohui, Song Yaoyang, and Song Kong, gathered together.

This time all the forces from Huan and Ling states gathered in Huanqing City.

"General Meng, please tell us our main policy for this battle."

"Yes, Your Highness." Meng Tian stood up, glanced at everyone, and said solemnly:

"Everyone, the five major forces in Lianzhou have formed an alliance. There are now 1.2 million troops gathered in Qingmu City, and King Yu has led 800,000 troops into Lianzhou. We are about to face the pressure of 2 million troops.

At present, the enemy is strong and we are weak, so it is not advisable to fight head-on. Only by attacking the enemy's unpreparedness can we defeat the enemy.

Therefore, in the early stages of this battle, we will focus on defense, recharge our batteries, look for opportunities in the battle, and highlight our surprise troops..."

Some of the people had already seen Meng Tian, ​​and some had not seen Meng Tian, ​​but everyone was listening attentively to Meng Tian's battle strategy.

Especially when Meng Tian talked about the characteristics of each general under King Yu's command, everyone showed solemn expressions.

Although the Lianzhou Alliance has an army of 1.2 million, in everyone's eyes they are just a bunch of rabble, and they can be wiped out easily.

The 800,000 troops under King Yu's command are all elites who have fought in many battles, and are their real opponents.

As Meng Tian's calm voice slowly sounded in the lobby, the anxious hearts of the ordinary generals gradually calmed down.

Until nightfall, one by one the generals took their orders and left under Meng Tian's arrangement.

There were only six people left in the lobby: Meng Tian, ​​Jia Xu, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhong Lizhen, Xu Xiong, and Song Yaohui.

In the center of the lobby, two new figures appeared, it was Lian Wucan and Ran Qiba who surrendered.

Lian Wucan and Ran Qi stood up straight, their expressions were extremely solemn, and their eyes were like nothing else.

When the two of them were inspected by Li Yuan's gaze, they were more nervous than ever before. They had never been so nervous when facing the Fengxue landlord.

"Do you two sincerely want to join me?"

flutter!

The two of them did not hesitate at all, immediately knelt down and clasped their fists, and said with extremely firm faces: "I, Lian Wucan (Ran Qiba), have the utmost respect and worship for Your Highness, and am willing to go through fire and water for Your Highness, even if I die!"

Please give us a chance to be loyal to you, His Highness the King of Chu! "

Li Yuan watched the two of them quietly, thoughtfully. According to the reports of Meng Tian and Zhong Lizhen, these two people were indispensable for the fact that Lianhuan Mansion was able to control it so easily.

The secrets that hid Fengxue Tower in various counties of Lianhuan Mansion were uprooted. Those forces pretending to surrender were seen through by them at a glance, but when they first arrived, how could Li Yuan believe it so easily.

Li Yuan discussed this with Jia Xu and decided to give them a chance.

"I have seen your performance. I am very satisfied with you. These achievements can spare your lives. To be honest, I still don't trust you very much."

Li Yuan looked at the two of them and said slowly: "And I never like to force people. If you want to leave now, Gu can let you leave safely. I just want to take down Lianhuan Mansion. Now the goal has been Done, you are of no use anymore.”

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Lian Wucan's pupils trembled and he blurted out:

"Your Highness, King Chu, are you serious about what you said?"

When Li Yuan saw Lian Wucan's appearance, his handsome face was filled with a sunny smile: "Of course, I keep my word. Gu always hates forcing others to join his command. Such people must have complaints against me in their hearts, secretly Hateful, although he joined her, Gu had to be wary of him.

Why bother? It would make both parties unhappy, so it would be better to get together and part ways. "

When Lian Wucan heard Li Yuan's sincere words, he nodded quickly, and his admiration towards Li Yuan became more sincere.

Look, this is King Chu, the big picture!

No wonder he was able to conquer so many talented generals so quickly.

But I can't stay here.

The imperial court, King Yu, and the entire Lianzhou Alliance are all three parties dealing with the King of Chu. Can the King of Chu still survive?

Therefore, Lian Wucan really didn't want to stay here. If his meridians hadn't been sealed by Dashu Xiong and his life was in his hands, he would have run away long ago.

Ran Qiba next to him saw Lian Wucan's serious look, his body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

Venerable Lian, are you stupid because of your cultivation? Just believe whatever King Chu says. If he bluffs you, your life will be ruined.

Ran Qiba wanted to remind Lian Wucan next to him, but he noticed that when the scribe below King Chu looked at him with a smile, a cold sweat broke out from his back for some reason, and he did not dare to make another move.

Lian Wucan didn't even notice Ran Qiba's movements next to him, he just wanted to leave:

"Your Highness King Chu, I, Lian Wucan, admire you sincerely, but there are seniors and juniors below, and they cannot do without my care, so... therefore..."

Li Yuan understood what Lian Wucan meant, waved his hand and said:

"No problem, Xu Xiong, please untie Master Lian's meridians now and let him leave here."

Lian Wucan was overjoyed and immediately bowed: "Thank you so much, His Highness the King of Chu! Thank you so much, His Highness the King of Chu!" "

When Xu Xiong saw that Li Yuan really wanted to let Lian Wuzan go, he quickly said:

"Your Highness, you can't. If Lian Wucan returns to the Lianzhou Alliance, then we will have one more great enemy."

Damn it, Dash Xiong, just wait for me.

Lian Wucan cursed in his heart, but his face was full of determination: "Your Highness King Chu, don't worry, I, Lian Wucan, am not an ungrateful person. After I leave, I will lead my family to remain anonymous and not participate in the war."

Seeing Lian Wucan's determined expression, Li Yuan nodded slightly, believed what he said, and said grandly:

"It's okay. When I go out, I mainly rely on integrity. Just leave if you ask him to leave."

Xu Xiong opened his mouth, looked at the silence of everyone around him, and then saw Li Yuan's determined expression. He sighed, stretched out his hand, and a stream of Gang Qi shot out and penetrated Lian Wucan's body.

Lian Wucan's body trembled and his eyes suddenly opened wide. He could already feel his majestic true energy coming back.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness, King Chu. I will never go against His Highness. If Your Highness has any needs in the future, I will do anything to you through fire and water without any hesitation!"

"Okay, just leave the city and don't stay in Huanqing City." Li Yuan waved his hand casually.

"yes!"

Lian Wucan showed his joy, glanced at Ranqiba who was silent beside him, and sneered inwardly. He understood what Ranqiba, a coward, meant, but it was good that he was here.

"His Royal Highness King Chu, everyone takes your leave!"

Lian Wucan stood up and strode out of the lobby. Although his expression was normal, his nerves were tense and he was always wary of Xu Xiong and the others taking action from behind.

Unfortunately, Li Yuan and Jia Xu just watched Lian Wucan leave quietly.

As soon as he came out of the lobby, Lian Wucan immediately jumped into the air and rushed out of Aoki City.

Um? Did King Chu really let Lian Wucan go?

Seeing that Lian Wucan had really left, Ranqiba couldn't help but raise his head and look at everyone. However, when he raised his head, he saw everyone's eyes staring at him. Ranqiba couldn't help but tremble all over. He immediately lowered his head.

"Elder Ran, you can leave too." Li Yuan kept smiling lightly.

Ran Qi8 trembled all over, knelt on the ground and leaned over and said: "His Royal Highness King Chu, everything I said is true. I swear to be loyal to His Highness to the death. Please give me a chance to change my ways."

"Really want to work under me?" Li Yuan said with a hint of seriousness in his tone.

Ran Qiba noticed the change in Li Yuan's tone, gritted her teeth, raised her head and looked at Li Yuan and said respectfully:

"Your Highness, in fact, even if Your Highness does not attack Lianzhou, I will defect to Fengxue Tower."

Li Yuan's eyes moved, and he finally showed a little interest, "Oh? It seems that Elder Ran has a lot of stories, let's hear them."

Ran Qiba took a deep breath and said with an expression of risk-taking, "Your Highness, the owner of Fengxue House has no children and has always wanted a successor. Therefore, he married more than a hundred concubines, but no one could conceive one. A concubine named Wei Yanhong suddenly became pregnant some time ago. When she visited Lianhuan Mansion and went to Lianhuan County, the old man received her, stayed with her, and went to Lianhuan County with her. Then she Be careful about miscarriage."

When everyone heard Ran Qiba's words, they instantly understood what Ran Qiba meant. Fengxue Louzhu finally had his own heir. When he was ecstatic, something happened on Ran Qiba's territory, and it happened on Ran Qiba's territory. Accompanied by Ran Qiba, wouldn't this mean he would get angry? Needless to say, Ran Qiba was the target of his anger.

"Tsk, tsk, you are so unlucky." Xu Xiong smacked his lips, looking pityful.

"Tell me, you are good, why are you hanging out with the concubine of the Fengxue landlord?"

Ran Qiba could only smile bitterly.

Fengxue Tower was originally an extremely cruel force. When something like this happened, it was normal for the owner of Fengxue Tower to execute the relevant personnel together.

Zhong Lizhen asked, "Then you are still in Lianhuan County like this?"

Since the concubine has already had a miscarriage, the Fengxue poster should deal with everyone from Lianhuan County.

Ran Qiba shook his head slightly and said, "The Fengxue poster doesn't know yet."

"Oh? What about Wei Yanhong?"

Jia Xu's eyes moved slightly. Since Fengxue Louzhu didn't know yet, it meant that Wei Yanhong probably still kept Lianhuan County, and Ran Qiba hid her.

"I'll let Wei Yanhong go back to Lianqing Mansion." Ran Qiba said with a wry smile.

After hearing this, Song Yaohui frowned and said:

"Then the Fengxue poster should have discovered that Wei Yanhong had a miscarriage."

Zhong Lizhen beside him also nodded. The Fengxue poster finally had an heir, so he would definitely be very concerned about Wei Yanhong's every move.

Ranqi shook his head and said: "Fengxue poster probably won't find out that Wei Yanhong had a miscarriage for the time being."

Everyone was stunned when they heard Ran Qiba's words, especially the last few words.

Abortion and miscarriage have different meanings.

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows: "You mean that the owner of Fengxue doesn't know that Wei Yanhong is pregnant."

"Your Highness is extremely smart!" Ran Qiba said to Li Yuan with a grimace and clasped his fists.

"Then you put Wei Yanhong back like this, aren't you afraid that she will report you?" Song Yaohui asked.

As an elder at the top of the Tianwu realm, Ran Qiba should have a much higher status than Wei Yanhong. It would be better to find a scapegoat and kill Wei Yanhong directly than to put Wei Yanhong back.

"Yan Hong will not tell Feng Xue Louzhu." Ran Qiba affirmed.

Xu Xiong grinned, "She's probably afraid that the owner of Fengxue will kill her too."

Ranqi nodded but then shook his head, "This is just one of the reasons."

Seeing that the reason was wrong, Xu Xiong asked curiously: "Oh? What other reasons are there?"

Ranqi paused for a moment and raised his head before hesitating to speak. However, when he saw the extremely interested eyes of everyone, he smiled bitterly and sighed:

"The main reason is that the child in Yanhong's belly is mine."

"What the hell!"

Xu Xiong's eyes were as big as bells, and everyone looked surprised.

Even some steady Meng Tian couldn't help but raise his head.

Jia Xu looked even more surprised.

Li Yuan looked at Ran Qiba's bitter sigh. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and opened his mouth slightly: "Elder Ran, you really like to help others..."

"There is nothing I can do, Your Highness, Yanhong is too proactive, and she is the beloved concubine of Fengxue Louzhu. I really can't refuse!" Ran Qiba said with great grievance.

"Stop farting here, come on, come on, tell me how a delicate woman could fall in love with an old guy like you!" Xu Xiong was full of doubts.

Ran Qiba said a little shyly:

"Alas, Venerable Xu didn't know something. The taste of Yanhong is a bit special, so..., alas, I regret it!"

"Okay, okay, you go down first." Li Yuan waved his hand to let this shameless thing go down first. Let Luo Wang investigate this matter and get to the bottom of it.

Ran Qiba felt happy in his heart. He knew that the King of Chu had left him behind, so he quickly resigned.

Everyone was silent as they watched Ran Qiba leave quickly.

Xu Xiong slapped his thigh fiercely, "This Ranqiba is such a fucking talent!"

Song Yaohui shook his head slowly, no longer thinking about Ran Qiba's matter, and looked at Li Yuan with a hesitant expression.

Did His Highness really let Lian Wucan go?

That guy Lian Wucan will definitely return to the Lianzhou Alliance.

Your Highness, why is this?

Li Yuan saw Song Yaohui's thoughtful expression and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He understood what Song Yaohui was thinking and this matter was not urgent.

For him, although the Venerable is powerful, Lian Wucan's return to the Lianzhou Alliance is far more useful than staying here.

He had already given Lian Wucan a chance.

Li Yuan and Jia Xu looked at each other and showed a meaningful smile.

……………………

Uh-huh!

A very fast figure shot past in the night sky. After rushing out of the boundary of Lianhuan Mansion at high speed, the figure finally slowed down. It was Lian Wucan. At this time, Lian Wucan's face was very pale, but the corner of his mouth raised an excited smile.

Unexpectedly, King Chu really let him go.

As soon as he rushed out of Huanqing City, he used a secret method to directly increase his speed ten times and rushed towards Lianqing Mansion.

Seeing Lianhuan Mansion getting further and further away from him, Lian Wucan finally couldn't help laughing:

"Haha, King Chu, do you really think that just a few people in the Tianwu realm can compare with me!"

Lian Wucan had a look of ridicule on his face. He knew that King Chu would not let him go so easily. When he returned to Fengxue Tower, he would definitely reveal that he had asked Huang Beihong and others to die.

But so what!

I am a venerable person, will the poster punish me?

How many Tianwu realms can compare with me?

Moreover, Ran Qiba is still in Huanqing City. He can just find any reason and put all the blame on Ran Qiba.

When the time comes, will the poster believe him or Ran Qiba?

"Haha, it is said that the King of Chu has unparalleled ingenuity and is a young hero. I didn't expect that he is just a young boy!"
