Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 153 Assassination
In the early morning of the second day, outside the city gate of Linghong Capital, there was a driveway that was enough for ten horses to parallel.

I saw a big black flag with Chu characters and gold characters floating in the air, and all the black armored cavalry in advance below. The indifferent eyes of all the cavalrymen looked forward as if no one else was there, making the people nearby hold their breath consciously. He didn't dare to make any noise, for fear of attracting the attention of the cavalry.

At this time, there was silence outside the city gate, Chen Feihai, Zhang Er and dozens of senior officials of Zhongyi Hall waited quietly.

The most conspicuous person in front of the Black Cavalry Legion is Li Yuan, who is wearing a purple-gold imperial dragon armor, with a majestic face and a heroic appearance!
The guards on both sides are Chen Wei and Fan Jianqiang.

Seeing the people of Zhongyi Hall waiting at the city gate, Li Yuan's sharp eyes softened. When they were still 100 meters away from the city gate, Li Yuan nodded slightly, and Chen Wei, who exuded a heavy momentum beside him, raised his arms and ordered the marching to stop. .

In an instant, the legions behind stopped at the same time, one by one extremely calm.

Li Yuan led Chen Wei and Fan Jianqiang to the city gate.

When Chen Feihai and Zhang Er saw the king of Chu coming alone, their uneasy hearts immediately calmed down. They respected Li Yuan even more, and hurriedly led the crowd to greet him.

"Meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

Chen Feihai, Zhang Er and others bent down and bowed their hands in salute, their voices were loud and loud.

"Everyone, please get up!"

Li Yuan got off his horse and walked forward, and came to the crowd, with a majestic but friendly face, he stretched out his hand to help everyone!
"Thank you, His Royal Highness Chu!"

Chen Feihai stood up first, without the arrogance of the past, a little restrained, not only him, but also everyone in the Zhongyi Hall behind, standing respectfully like school students, a little trembling inside.

This is the King of Chu, the King of Chu who is about to rule Lingzhou!

They couldn't stop the aura exuded by Li Yuan alone, not to mention the imposing army behind Li Yuan, no one would be afraid to see it.

At the gate of the city, more and more people watched from a distance. Among the crowd were many spies from small and medium-sized power families, inquiring about the attitude of the King of Chu when he arrived.

Seeing everyone's restrained appearance, Li Yuan smiled slightly and said:

"You don't need to be nervous, you are all under the king's command, so naturally treat each other together!"

"Thank you, His Royal Highness Chu!"

This group of people worshiped reverently again, and then shut their mouths tightly, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Li Yuan shook his head and smiled, glanced at everyone, suddenly frowned, looked at Chen Feihai and asked:
"Chen Banner, where is Wu Banner?"

Suddenly everyone's heart trembled, and many people looked down at Chen Feihai.

Chen Feihai had a sad and angry expression on his face, but before he could speak, Zhang Er and a dozen people immediately knelt down and said:
"Your Highness, please be the master for us!"

"Shh!"

Whether it was Chen Weifan who was strong and them, or the merchants and common people on the road, they looked at Zhang Er and others who were kneeling and crying bitterly.

Li Yuan suddenly had a bad premonition, looked at Zhang Er and said sharply:
"What's the matter, where is the leader of the Wu Banner, I will definitely be the master for you!"

Zhang Er cried bitterly and said: "Your Highness, Master Wu specially arranged a pre-feast last night to welcome His Highness's arrival, but unexpectedly he was poisoned to death by gangsters!"

"what!"

Li Yuan shrank his pupils, took a step forward suddenly, stared at Zhang Er and said:
"Wu Banner is dead?"

"That's right, Your Highness, please make the decision for us!"

A row of people behind Zhang Er continued to cry and beg.

"Okay, whoever poisoned Wu Qizhu, this king will definitely decide for you!"

A cold light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, a ray of murderous intent bloomed, the sky seemed to be three points solemn, and everyone's heart sank, like a huge stone pressing down on their hearts.

The big boss who first suspected Chen Feihai last night couldn't wait to point at Chen Feihai and said:

"Your Highness, this subordinate suspects that Chen Feihai is jealous of Banner Master Wu and intentionally poisoned Banner Master Wu!"

Before Chen Feihai opened his mouth, his subordinates cursed:

"You fart!"

"What the hell are you talking about!"

"If you have any evidence, frame Chen Banner."

"That's right, why wasn't Wu Banner's former enemy poisoning him."

With Li Yuan around, Wu Yao's subordinates refuted one by one:

"Hehe, at last night's banquet, apart from us present, how could anyone outside have the opportunity to poison Banner Wu."

"One of you must be the murderer!"

"Who is the person who poisoned Wu Banner's greatest interests? It goes without saying!"

"Chen Feihai is clearly jealous of our Banner Master Wu, and is afraid that Master Wu Banner will be superior to him."

"Who doesn't know that His Highness attaches the most importance to Lord Wu Banner, and Chen Feihai is just jealous!"

Listening to their argument, the spies who had been observing in the dark suddenly realized why Wu Yao didn't come.

Wu Yao was actually poisoned last night!

And the person who poisoned him is likely to be among the people in Zhongyitang, especially Chen Feihai.

He is so motivated!

The people watching were more or less familiar with Chen Feihai's personality, and began to point and point at Chen Feihai.

In the army behind, Xu Fengwu glanced at the people in Zhongyi Hall through the curtain of the car, with a faint smile on his mouth, secretly guessing, who is Li Yuan's person here!
Or there are several!
At this time, Li Yuan's face became more and more gloomy.

Chen Feihai took a step forward, with a serious face, met Li Yuan's eyes and solemnly said:
"Your Highness, I did not poison Wu Yao, please check clearly, Your Highness!"

Li Yuan looked at the crowd who were still arguing endlessly, and sternly reprimanded:
"Arguing in public, how decent are you!"

A scolding resounded in everyone's ears like thunder rolling from the sky.

Everyone's face turned pale, their minds were shaken, and it was hard for them to stabilize their bodies and minds.

When everyone looked at Li Yuan again, they were seven points more afraid.

"Now you take me to the mansion to check. I will definitely find the murderer who poisoned Wu Yao. I will not trust any of you, but I will not wrong one of you."

"Banner Chen, you lead the way!"

"Yes!"

When Chen Feihai saw Li Yuan let him lead the way, he was touched in his heart. It seemed that His Highness still believed in him.

Li Yuan squinted his eyes and ordered:
"Commander Chen, you immediately lead the army to block the city gate. This king suspects that other forces deliberately poisoned the Wu Banner Lord, embarrassing this king!"

"Yes!"

Rumble!
The army started, and after Li Yuan and Chen Feihai went to the capital, they quickly took control of Linghong's capital city.

…………

Inside and outside the capital, rows of loyal halls with astonishing evil aura surrounded the Zhuang mansion.

The maids, cooks, and guards from last night were all pale and huddled together in fear. They have been detained here since last night, trembling with fear.

Li Yuan looked at them quietly, with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Er quickly handed over the wine glass that Wu Yao drank last night.

"Your Highness, this is the wine glass Master Wu Banner drank from. When the Banner Master Wu fell down, the rest of the wine had already been spilled, and because of the confusion, the wine pot on Master Wu Banner's table was also broken, and all the wine was spilled. None of the remaining wine was found to be poisonous."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Er glanced at Chen Feihai from the corner of his eye.

"So, someone deliberately smashed the jug on Wu Qi's main table?"

Li Yuan glanced at the people in the Loyalty Hall,
Everyone sees it differently, and no one will believe that there is no inner ghost.

Chen Feihai looked at everyone, showing suspicion.

"Come here, detain them and interrogate them severely!"

At this moment, Zhang Er, who was beside Li Yuan, knelt down again, with an aura of swearing that he would not give up if he could not find the murderer, he said righteously:

"The murderer must be among us. I implore His Highness to be the master for us. This subordinate knows that His Highness doesn't understand each of us and doesn't believe us. This subordinate is willing to prove his innocence and cooperate with His Highness's investigation. Please detain him!"

"Your Highness, please imprison your subordinates!"

Soon, the people behind Zhang Er saw Zhang Er's behavior and half-kneeled on the ground one by one, with calm eyes.

They didn't do it anyway!

What are you afraid of!
So, from the corner of their eyes, they looked at the rest of the people.
The rest of the people immediately understood what they meant, and their faces were dissatisfied, so they half-kneeled and said:

"This subordinate is also willing to prove his innocence. Your Highness, please interrogate this subordinate!"

Only Chen Feihai and a few cronies were present.

At this moment, their standing figures are particularly conspicuous, and everyone's eyes are focused on them.

Li Yuan's eyes turned to Chen Feihai, and the suspicion flashed in his eyes.

How could Chen Feihai not notice the suspicion in Li Yuan's eyes, and immediately half-kneeled and said:
"Your Highness, I did not poison Wu Yao. I have a clear conscience. I am willing to cooperate with Your Highness's investigation and prove my innocence!"

All of a sudden, the senior officials of Zhongyi Hall knelt down and begged Li Yuan to detain them and prove their innocence.

Li Yuan frowned slightly, and finally agreed:

"Okay, I will arrange a room for each of you for the time being, and ask and review each of you. In the next few days, you can stay in the room with peace of mind, recall what happened last night, and I will send professionals to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

"Besides, this king will also investigate other forces. If you think of any force that was hostile to Wu Yao in the past, you can tell them. This king will examine these forces one by one!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The crowd responded in unison.

…………

Just when Li Yuan was planning to use Wu Yao's poisoning to quickly eliminate some forces in Ling Hong's mansion, the Leng Ao sword sent by Zhou Yan had arrived in Ling Rong's capital city.

He stood on the street with people coming and going, looked at the government office next to the street, and walked straight up.

"Stop, who are you!"

In front of the government yamen, the yamen servants blocked his way.

Leng Aojian looked at the two yamen guards standing in front of him, and said lightly:
"Please go and tell your lord that I have great admiration for the King of Chu, and I am here to take refuge in the King of Chu!"

In an instant, an aura of the peak of the master was faintly revealed.

The yamen servant's eyes moved, the master is strong!
Immediately, the two showed serious expressions, and one of them said:

"Wait a moment, I will report to your lord immediately."

"Ok!"

Leng Aojian stood in the middle of the mansion gate, nodded lightly.

In the lobby, several desks were covered with volumes of government affairs, several civil servants kept sorting and reviewing them, and handed them to Xun Yu in the middle.

Xun Yu lowered his head, carefully reading the contents of the volume, criticizing each volume.

During this period of time, just taking control of Ling Rong's mansion, there are too many government affairs.

"My lord, there is a master and strong man outside the door who came to seek refuge."

The yamen servant quickly stepped into the lobby and reported to Xun Yu who was in charge of government affairs.

"Well, go ask him in."

Without raising his head, Xun Yu continued to deal with the government affairs on the table.

For small and medium-sized forces, a grandmaster is enough to be their pillar, and if a grandmaster joins them, they will be ecstatic.

But now Xun Yu expressed his indifference. Recently, there were thirteen grandmasters who took refuge in Chu Palace.

"Yes!"

When the yamen servant had just left, a brisk figure stepped into the lobby.

"Master Xun, Lord Xun, I finally managed to recruit Master An over."

The graceful, pure and lovely Nangong Xiyue quickly came to Xun Yu's table and said cheerfully.

"Oh, really!"

Xun Yu raised his head and showed a smile. He knew that Mr. Guo that Nangong Xiyue was talking about was a down-and-out Heavenly Martial Realm expert she met in the folk.

"Yes, Master An has agreed to be Xiaosi's master."

At this moment, an old man slowly stepped into the lobby, with thin lips, a straight nose, a square face, a pair of cloudy eyes, and a long knife with a sheath hanging from his waist.

Looking at Xun Yu who raised his head, he cupped his hands and said slowly:
"An Sheng pays homage to Mr. Xun."

"Master An has admired him for a long time."

Xun Yu smiled back and looked An Sheng up and down with deep eyes.

An Sheng stood still and let Xun Yu examine him.

"Master An, please sit down."

Xun Yu had already put down his pen and invited An Sheng to sit down.

"Hee hee, everyone, take a break first."

Nangong Xiyue called the maid to serve tea to these civil servants.

"Thank you, Miss Nangong."

The civil servants in the lobby showed a look of relief, put down the political papers in their hands, took the tea cups, and looked at the cheerful Nangong Xiyue with a smile, with a hint of respect in their eyes.

"My lord, the master and strong man who came to seek refuge has been brought."

At this time, the yamen servant had already brought Leng Aojian into the hall.

When Leng Aojian stepped into the lobby, Xun Yu and An Sheng, who were chatting with Nangong Xiyue, frowned at the same time, because they had sensed that Leng Aojian's aura was more than that of a master.

Since you have come to seek refuge, why hide it?
And Leng Aojian had seen Xun Yu's portrait, so he naturally recognized Xun Yu, but when he saw a strong man in the Heavenly Martial Realm beside Xun Yu, he glanced at him lightly.

"Who are you?"

Seeing Leng Aojian's posture, Xun Yu looked at Leng Aojian even more suspiciously.

"The one who took your life!"

But suddenly!

Leng Aojian's eyes sharpened, he rushed towards Xun Yu suddenly, and the long sword in his hand was drawn out of its sheath instantly!

Clang!
The blade is out of the sheath, showing its sharpness!
This sword is so fast.

In an instant, Leng Aojian's long sword was stabbed in front of Xun Yu's eyes.

This time!

The knife light flashed, the cold light was like snow, and a clear sound came out, and the two figures stopped!
what!
Leng Aojian suddenly revealed a trace of surprise, curious that this ordinary late-stage Tianwu Realm powerhouse could block him so easily.

Although he is also at the late stage of the Tianwu realm, he is not an ordinary late stage of the Tianwu realm. He once slashed the Tianwu realm at the peak of the master, and his sword just now is enough to kill a strong person at the late stage of the Tianwu realm!
Clang!
The knife shines like snow!
When An Sheng saw that it was the one who came to assassinate Xun Yu, murderous intent flashed in his eyes!
Following An Sheng's slash, a feeling of desolation and sadness filled the surrounding space, and the light of the snow-like sword was desolate and desolate.

"Shh!"

A terrifying sword force rushed out, faintly, as if distorting the air, the long sword in Lengaojian's hand, the sharp edge of the sword pierced through everything!
"block!"

When the swords collided, there was a sudden thunder and loud noise!

Even if both of them are top-notch masters of swordsmanship, the aura exuded will make the tables and chairs within three feet around them turn into nothingness, surrounded by fierce energy!
And Xun Yu, Nangong Xiyue and others had already left the lobby the moment they fought.

"There are assassins!"

"There are assassins!"

These civil servants ran out quickly and shouted.

boom!
In the distance, the Prince Chu's Mansion, which has just moved here, is bursting with astonishing aura!
Jiang Lao, who is at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Martial Realm!
Leng Aojian sensed Elder Jiang's aura in the distance, his indifferent eyes swept over Xun Yu, and he crossed An Sheng in an instant, rushed out of the lobby, and killed Xun Yu

A terrifying sword force shot out from his body.

The invisible blade turned into substance and rushed out from the edge of the sword. The phantom of the piercing sword rose into the sky, and the cold sword light flashed in the air.

There is no extra beauty, only a sword!
However, it was unusual for Nangong Xiyue to find this Master An,
A world-shocking cold knife, chasing and slashing!
The sword intent soared into the sky, and the extremely sharp sword gang exuded the aura of cutting through everything!

Leng Aojian's face changed slightly, he noticed the extremely violent Dao Gang behind him!
Turn around and meet An Sheng!
Swords and swords, accompanied by endless murderous intentions!
boom!
When the swords collided, the terrifying energy exploded!

Tens of meters around, knife gangs, sword marks, and deep marks on the ground criss-cross!
Both of them were shaken 20 meters away!
With a flash of sword light, a huge sword slashed towards Xun Yu again.

But after Leng Aojian slashed past, his figure turned towards the sky and left at a high speed.

Suddenly, An Sheng appeared in front of Xun Yu and Nangong Xiyue, the sword in his hand glared coldly, and the blade rose instantly, colliding with the sword!

boom!
The aftermath of the force spread everywhere, the ground shook, and the walls of houses cracked.
