Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 154

"Where to escape!"

Mr. Jiang who came from the Prince Chu's mansion had arrived, and a murderous aura swept over him in an instant!
The true energy in Jiang Lao's palm gathered, and the void turned into a giant palm, which slammed down on the Lengao sword that was fleeing in the distance!

Sensing the threat from behind, Leng Aojian's expression remained calm, the speed of his escape remained unchanged, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed again!
The dazzling sword light flickered!

A ten-meter sword gang cut through!
The terrifying giant palm condensed with true essence was split in an instant, split into two!
Boom!

The giant palm exploded, and the situation changed!
Leng Aojian has already escaped from Lingrong Capital City.

"Jiang Lao, stop chasing him, and carefully steer the tiger away from the mountain!"

Seeing Mr. Jiang crossing the sky above the government office and continuing to pursue him, Xun Yu hurriedly shouted.

Elder Jiang's figure stopped abruptly, turned and flew back to the government office, and came to Xun Yu and Nangong Xiyue.

Xun Yu looked at An Sheng with gratitude, cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you Master An for saving your life!"

"You're welcome, it's easy, and even if I don't do it, he can't kill you."

An Sheng raised his eyelids and looked at Xun Yu's figure with seriousness in his eyes. When he appeared in front of Xun Yu to block the assassin's sword, he sensed a powerful force behind him, but it disappeared instantly.

"Who is that assassin just now? His sword is very strong, extraordinary, not ordinary!"

Jiang Lao landed on the ground, looking around, the sword marks around him still exuded a faint sword aura.

An Sheng recalled the young face of the assassin just now, frowned slightly, but had no impression.

"Huanzhou Lengaojian!" A beautiful voice sounded.

Everyone looked at Nangong Xiyue who made the sound.

Nangong Xiyue recalled Leng Aojian who did not hide her face, her eyes showed coldness.

Too embarrassing!

"Lengaojian?"

Xun Yu recited the name silently, glanced at Nangong Xiyue, and motioned for her to continue.

Nangong Xiyue nodded slightly, and said solemnly:

"When Xu Fengwu came, His Royal Highness sent me to investigate various situations in Huanzhou. This Leng Aojian is a top Tianjiao in Huanzhou. Eight years ago, he used his peak cultivation as a master to defeat a strong man in the early stage of Tianwu Realm with a sword. Shocked the world, and then for unknown reasons, he took refuge in the Zhou family."

"The Zhou family!"

"How dare they be so arrogant?" Jiang Laowen was furious, he really didn't expect someone to be so blatant!
"It seems that they want to delay the time for His Highness to rule Lingzhou."

Xun Yu's eyes also showed a touch of coldness.

Nangong Xiyue suddenly thought of something, showing a anxious look:
"No, Leng Aojian failed to assassinate Master Xun, now let him go, will he attack other officials?"

Mo Ziyan is in command of Lingyuan Mansion, and Zhou Xuan is in Lingyang Mansion.

However, neither of these two prefectures has a strong Tianwu Realm sitting in the town, and the Tianwu Realm strongmen in the Chu Palace have been sent to the 29 counties of the four prefectures to suppress them with the army.

Once the main officials of the two prefectures are killed, it will have a great impact on the army that is suppressing the four prefectures ahead.

An Sheng frowned, looked at Xun Yu who was thinking, and said:

"I'm going to hunt down Leng Aojian. Although I'm not sure about killing him, I can restrain him."

Elder Jiang's expression moved slightly, he also really wanted to pursue Leng Aojian, but now he needs to sit in Chu Palace to protect Xun Yu, otherwise Xun Yu will be in danger if another one comes.

Nangong Xiyue and the others looked at Xun Yu, waiting for his decision.

Xun Yu turned his eyes to the yamen servant who was cleaning up the ruins of the government yamen, his eyes were indifferent, and he said:

"No hurry, report to His Highness first, and wait for His Highness's decision."

…………

At this time, in the government office of Linghong's capital, some leaders of the various counties in Linghong's mansion stood tremblingly below, carefully watching Li Yuan who stepped into the lobby.

The leaders of these forces have known about Li Yuan's arrival for a long time, and they have rushed to Linghong Capital City a few days ago, just to give Li Yuan a good impression, but they didn't expect Wu Yao to die suddenly, it was a disaster for no reason, and they were killed by Li Yuan alone Called over.

With the growth of cultivation base, Li Yuan's majesty became more and more intense, and the faint aura of domineering was looming.

"Meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"Okay, let's not be polite, everyone sit down, today the king is just here to recognize you."

Li Yuan glanced casually, with a slight smile, and sat on the main seat.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Everyone didn't know how Li Yuan was feeling right now, so they could only follow Li Yuan's words and carefully stick their buttocks on their seats.

Li Yuan's face was soft, and his tone was gentle:

"Everyone is really interested, and actually waited for the king in Linghong's capital city ahead of time."

Seeing Li Yuan's gentle appearance, everyone relaxed their hearts, so they praised one by one:
"I will be loyal to His Highness!"

"Being able to meet His Highness in person is a blessing in life!"

"That's right, His Royal Highness is crowned like jade, and has infinite charm. It is really an honor to meet His Highness."

Seeing everyone's praise, Li Yuan smiled more and more, and called the maid to come forward and pour tea.

Seeing Li Yuan's more and more kind face, holding warm teacups, they moistened their throats, and there were more words of praise.

For a while, there was joy in the lobby.

Just when everyone was completely relaxed physically and mentally,
In vain!
Li Yuan slapped the table suddenly, his face instantly became extremely cold.

"boom!"

Everyone trembled in their hearts, subconsciously stood up, and looked at Li Yuan in a panic. They were fine just now, but they didn't know why Li Yuan suddenly got angry.

"I came to Linghong Mansion today. I was in a good mood, but suddenly I learned that Wu Yao, my confidant, has died. Now everyone in the Zhongyi Hall is cooperating with my investigation. They said that among you, some The relationship between Ren and Wu Yao is not very good, and he is suspected of being a murderer!"

Li Yuan's voice became lower and lower, but the atmosphere in the lobby became more and more depressed.

Li Yuan's sharp eyes scanned everyone's expressions one by one.

When the people below felt Li Yuan's gaze on them, their bodies trembled slightly. They were all in a daze. Who would have thought that His Royal Highness King Chu would be so moody, kneeling and bowing one by one:
"His Royal Highness clearly checked, we are all innocent!"

They can't be nervous, the army of the king of Chu is here, and these are the sites of Zhongyitang, and all the officials in the counties have something to do with Zhongyitang.

As the only two banner owners left in Zhongyi Hall, Banner Master Wu was killed, and the people in Zhongyi Hall were also very angry, plus the king of Chu who seemed moody now.

Now the king of Chu can wipe out all the forces with one word.

"I know that some of you are innocent, but Master Chen Banner and Master Zhang Duo of Loyalty Hall are all accepting the investigation of this king in order to prove their innocence. What about you?"

Li Yuan looked at the power leaders who were kneeling together, and his voice was neither low nor heavy.

Everyone's hearts froze, and the minds of several Patriarchs became clear instantly, knowing what Li Yuan was going to do.

While the other leaders were still hesitating, these people suddenly shouted:
"Your Highness, we are all innocent, and I am willing to accept the investigation!"

"I am willing to accept the investigation!"

There was kneeling in the lobby.

Seeing the scene below, Li Yuan showed a bright smile, and his tone became soft again:
"It can be seen that you are loyal to this king, and this king believes that you are innocent."

None of the people below dared to move, and they knelt tremblingly. They didn't quite believe King Chu's kind smile now.

"Well, let's interrogate at will, and you go down with them first."

A guard with a firm face walked in.

Soon, these people were taken away by Li Yuan's guards in the name of being investigated voluntarily.

After the lobby was quiet, Jia Xu slowly walked out from the back hall.

"Wenhe, Linghong Mansion will call you next."

Jia Xu cupped his hands slightly to Li Yuan, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness, for intimidating them."

Li Yuan waved his hand, he was intimidated by himself, the people in Linghong Mansion would not want to face him, Jia Xu would go to visit them twice later, when he appointed Jia Xu as the magistrate of Linghong Mansion, he would not Will resist, and will be very cooperative.

I won't stay in Linghong Mansion for a long time, and there are three other mansions that I need to walk around by myself.

"Your Highness, don't worry, when the minister appeases these people, they will take the initiative to bring our people into the various counties, so that they can control the counties faster."

Jia Xu stroked her fan and smiled lightly.

These are one of the forces in each county. They were suddenly investigated and interrogated by the King of Chu for a few days because of Wu Yao's affairs, and they must be out of balance.

What would they think if Jia Xu wanted to use them to continue "investigating" the forces in various counties?

You have accepted the investigation yourself, why don't you accept it?

They will actively cooperate with Jia Xu to investigate the forces in various counties.

Forces in various counties are inexplicably forced to investigate, and they must be angry in their hearts, but facing the powerful strength of the Chu Palace, they will turn their anger to the forces that actively seduce Jia Xu to come to "investigate".

Then these hated forces naturally became the Chu king's faction, and naturally supported Jia Xu.

With this grasp, the Linghong Mansion, which was once the headquarters of Loyalty Hall, was soon under Jia Xu's control.

Li Yuan was naturally relieved of Jia Xu, and casually mentioned:
"People in Zhongyitang, what are you going to do, Wen He?"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, they have played a very important role. They have been domineering in the Linghong Mansion for so many years, and the people complained a lot. There must be some forces who hate them deeply. When the time is right, they are the key to our people's aspirations!"

A gleam of coldness suddenly appeared in Jia Xu's smiling eyes.

"That's good!"

Li Yuan nodded slightly. As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to defend it.

In this world of high martial arts, the right time and place may not be very important, but the hearts of the people must be grasped.

Now that the dynasty is chaotic, with a big battle ahead, it’s not good if the rear is lightly provoked into a fire, especially now that stability is the main priority. When one’s own people really control the county, at least half of the people will recognize Chu Wang’s mansion, and the roulette in the mind will be It will be recognized, and the task will be completed.

At this moment, Zhao Gao's figure appeared in the lobby and reported to Li Yuan:

"Your Highness, Lord Xun was assassinated just now, and the assassin was Leng Aojian from the Zhou family!"

Li Yuan opened his eyes suddenly, and a killing intent overflowed.

"How is Wen Ruo now?"

"Lord Xun is safe and sound, An Sheng recruited by Miss Nangong blocked Leng Aojian."

"Lord Xun is asking Your Highness for instructions on how we should respond. Leng Aojian's bold behavior shows that the Zhou family is unscrupulous. They are likely to attack other government officials, causing chaos and delaying our control of Lingzhou."

Zhao Gao respectfully reported.

Jia Xu nodded, with a trace of seriousness on his face: "Your Highness, the major forces nearby understand that our main goal now is to unify Lingzhou. If we are really assassinated by Leng Aojian, they will think that Chu Palace is weak, and in order to delay us During the rule of Lingzhou, it is very likely that assassins will be sent into Lingzhou to kill officials indiscriminately!"

"Zhou Yan!" Li Yuan said the name silently, with murderous intent in his eyes, recalling what Xu Fengwu said was sinister and vicious, he already had a preliminary impression of Zhou Yan.

If Leng Aojian succeeds in assassinating Xun Yu, not to mention the loss of a great talent, it will also wake up those forces who are unwilling to see him unify Lingzhou. Since the extra troops cannot be separated from the invasion of Lingzhou, then assassination methods can be used !

At this moment, Li Yuan's murderous intent was boundless in his heart, and he remembered a sentence said by a great man in his previous life:

"Shoot a punch, lest a hundred punches come!"

Facing such an assassination, one must be quick, accurate and ruthless in order to deter the forces and prevent them from coming!

"Your Highness, do you need a trap?" Zhao Gao raised his head with a murderous look on his face

Li Yuan's eyes flashed with ice-cold luster, and he slowly shook his head and said:
"There is no need to act with the trap, the trap's people continue to invade the four residences. As for Leng Aojian and the Zhou family, this king has a very suitable candidate..."

Some time ago, Li Yuan had already used the summon once every three months. She originally planned to let her stay in the palace to practice with peace of mind, but now, it's time for her to be born!

………………

As night fell, Ling Rong Mansion, a small town a hundred miles east of Ling Rong's capital city, a simple and honest middle-aged man was walking in a remote alley, looking back from time to time, he came to a dilapidated small In the courtyard, gently knock on an old door!
"Heavenly King and Earth Tiger!" came a coded signal from behind the old door.

This simple and honest middle-aged man looked around and said softly: "I am two hundred and five!"

Immediately, click!The door opened with a bang!
A thin man stuck out his head from behind the door, looked around through the half-closed door, and saw that there was only a middle-aged man around, and immediately beckoned him to come in.

Behind the old gate is a large courtyard, and the shadow of the moon is slowly reflected in a large water tank next to the courtyard.

Under the willow tree in the courtyard, Leng Aojian stood quietly with his sword in his hands. When he saw the thin man leading the middle-aged man over, his gaze stayed on the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man cupped his fists and said, "Master Leng!"

Leng Aojian's eyes were very indifferent, and he nodded lightly.

The middle-aged man knew Leng Aojian's personality, so he continued:

"Lord Leng, today you went to the government office to assassinate Xun Yu, and the entire capital city was shaken, but because you fought with another person for too long, when you left, your appearance was also seen by many people outside the mansion."

"Well, has the person I fought with investigated clearly?"

Leng Aojian gave the middle-aged man a cold look, then turned his gaze to the reflection in the water tank.

In his opinion, his assassination should be flawless. Who would have thought that a strong man with a knife would suddenly appear beside Xun Yu, causing his assassination to fail.

As for appearance being seen by others,
Leng Aojian frowned slightly, this is troublesome, when he went to assassinate Xun Yu, he did not hide his appearance, because in his opinion, as long as he kills all the people in the government office, his appearance will not be exposed .

"The investigation is clear. The sword-wielding Heavenly Martial Realm expert seems to be called Master An. It was found by Nangong Xiyue, the leader of the Chu Palace's intelligence organization, from the folks. He happened to take him to see Xun Yu today."

The middle-aged man unconsciously glanced at Leng Aojian, it was too unlucky to meet him during the assassination.

"And the young master now knows what's going on here."

Leng Aojian's heart tightened, the sword held in his chest loosened, and he asked in a calm tone:

"How did he say?"

"The young master said, since Mr. Leng failed to assassinate Xun Yu, don't go to assassinate Xun Yu, but go to Lingyang Mansion and Lingyuan Mansion to assassinate ten county guards to offset this mistake."

"Ten?"

Leng Aojian's expression moved slightly, not too much, but too little.

After all, he was exposed, and the people in Chu Palace could easily find out the Zhou family based on his appearance. So the Zhou family simply let him go?
The young master is not angry?
The middle-aged man seemed to know that Leng Aojian would think so, so he continued:

"The young master said that he sent Mr. Leng here. If it is exposed, he will be responsible. In the Zhou family, he will help Mr. Leng block the punishment. First, Mr. Leng will kill ten county guards to make a contribution."

Leng Aojian suddenly felt a warm current in his heart, and he clenched the long sword in his hand tightly.

"Alright, tell the young master that Ao Jian will not let him down!"

"Yes!"

Boom!Boom!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The thin man and the middle-aged man frowned, looked at each other, and shook their heads.

The two looked at Leng Aojian again, seeing that Leng Aojian also showed a trace of doubt, so the figures of the two walked slowly towards the gate of the courtyard, their eyes fixed on the door, and the thin man asked softly:
"The King of Heaven and Earth Tiger?"
