Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 155 Sword

At the moment, there is silence outside the courtyard...

The skinny man and the middle-aged man turned cold, and slowly backed away. Leng Aojian narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked in front of them.

Seeing Leng Aojian standing in front of him, the thin man seemed to gain courage and shouted:

"who?"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The knock on the door sounded again, especially clear in the dark night, as if knocking in their hearts, bit by bit of fear emanated from the hearts of the middle-aged man and the thin man.

Leng Aojian pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, traces of sword energy circulated on the surface of the hilt, Leng Aojian obviously didn't want to talk much, but the killing intent on his body became stronger and stronger.

A murderous atmosphere permeated this ordinary courtyard.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The people outside seemed to feel the murderous aura in the courtyard, but the knock on the door was a little louder.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

In short and concise words, Leng Aojian suddenly drew the sword in his hand, the sword light was like a shadow, the invincible sword intent swept across all directions, the surrounding bricks and tiles were broken, and a proud sword intent shot up into the sky, stabbing out of the courtyard gate!

"Ong!"

There was also the sound of a sword being unsheathed outside the door, and the sound waves vibrated, as if a special artistic conception was formed around it.

At this moment, the middle-aged man and the thin man noticed in their horrified eyes that the surroundings had become different, and even the slow speed of the dust falling was clearly visible.

Leng Aojian's body trembled, he felt something was wrong, his aura was no longer hidden, all the aura in the later stages of the Heavenly Martial Realm exploded, and the sword gang instantly condensed, highly condensed like a crystal, although short, the aura was extremely terrifying!
Bang!
Before the sword tip arrived, the courtyard gate was directly torn apart by the sword energy, and the figure outside the gate finally appeared.

It turned out to be a woman in Tsing Yi, the green gauze blocked her appearance, but a blue sword shadow covered everyone's eyes!
The woman drew out her sword and stabbed directly at Leng Aojian who was rushing over.

This sword, without any rules, did not have the slightest flicker of sword light, just like a woman wielding it at will.

Only the blue color of the long sword itself shines in the moonlight.

Suddenly, the three of them seemed to see the phantom of a bamboo leaf emerging and swaying gently.

But Leng Aojian's expression changed in an instant, no one knew the horror of this sword better than him!
This sword is extremely simple!
In his eyes, this sword has no sword glow, because the sword glow has already converged into the sword!
There is no trick, because a sword at hand is a peerless swordsmanship!

"kill!"

In the blink of an eye, Leng Aojian's eyes showed no fear, and even showed enthusiasm. This is the sword he pursued!

Leng Aojian raised his head to the sky and screamed, black silk danced all over the sky, and the sword intent soaring to the sky bloomed from his body, soul and true essence were all contained in this sword!

At this moment, it seems that the time is out of order, slow and fast!
boom!
Sword and sword collide!
Without stagnation, the figures of the two passed by each other!

The middle-aged man and the skinny man stared blankly at them with absent-minded eyes. There was a thin bloody slit on their necks at the moment, not just them. Sword marks were clearly visible on all the items in the courtyard where the two fought. The water in the water was also cut by the sword mark!

"Good sword!"

Outside the courtyard gate, Leng Aojian still kept his sword posture, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Crack!

The long sword in his hand suddenly burst into countless fragments, and the burst fragments pierced through many brick walls,
Swish!
Without making a loud noise, the walls and houses with a radius of [-] meters collapsed like sand.

All of a sudden, a blue light appeared between Leng Aojian's neck, a head flew up, and it was thrown into the bag prepared by the woman in Tsing Yi without error.

The woman's slender fingers gently tied the bag closed, isolating all the smells.

Several black shadows came out of the darkness one after another, looking at the woman in Tsing Yi with shocking eyes. They thought that there would be a shocking battle, but they didn't expect it to be resolved so soon.

This is a remote alley, and only a few hundred meters away are people living. They can't even feel what happened here, and they are still asleep.

"Tell Xun Yu that the assassin has been dealt with!"

The voice of the woman in Tsing Yi was like a clear spring, as if washing away the dust of the world.

"Yes!"

The people in Chu Yue's organization bowed their heads respectfully.

When they looked up, they found that the woman in Tsing Yi was gone.

………………

In the Chu Palace, Xun Yu, Nangong Xiyue, Jiang Lao, An Sheng, and Xiao Si gathered in the flower pavilion.

Outside the pavilion, the spies organized by Chu Yue had returned to report the situation.

"She killed Leng Aojian with one sword?"

An Sheng couldn't help confirming that he had fought Leng Aojian before, and knew Leng Aojian's strength very well.

The woman in Tsing Yi was able to kill Leng Aojian with one sword, which meant that she could also kill herself with one sword.

how can that be!

An Sheng was very proud in his heart. Although he was in the late stage of Tianwu Realm, he was not afraid of anyone in Tianwu Realm.

However, now his pride is gradually withdrawn, and he has a deep respect for the King of Chu who is far away in Linghong Mansion.

The king of Chu is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
The spy nodded slightly, the shock in his eyes hadn't dissipated.

There are no gorgeous moves between the two of them, it's just a sword,

The silent battle ended in a collapse with a radius of [-] meters.

Nangong Xiyue frowned deeply. Since when did the Prince Chu House have this woman in Tsing Yi?
If Li Yuan hadn't sent her a message, asking her to go back to the courtyard of Prince Chu's Mansion to look for it, she wouldn't have known that there was such a strong man in Prince Chu's Mansion!
And it's a woman!
"Where did that woman in Tsing Yi go now, why didn't she come back with you?"

"I don't know, when we looked up, her head with Leng Aojian disappeared."

The spy replied honestly.

"Okay, you go down first." Nangong Xiyue waved her hand, signaling him to go down.

"Yes." The spy retreated.

Xiaosi glanced at Nangong Xiyue, smiled at Xun Yu and asked:

"Master Xun, this elder sister in Tsing Yi is so powerful, who is she?"

Xun Yu recalled the identity of the woman in Tsing Yi in his mind, finally shook his head, and said with a light smile:
"Hehe, this needs to be explained by His Highness."

"Now that the assassin has been resolved, let's continue to do our business well, and don't let His Highness worry."

"Ah."

...............

At the end of the night, the sun rises as usual, the yamen has already posted a notice, and the assassin who made a big fuss yesterday has been handed over to the yamen. This incident is just an interesting thing for the people to talk and laugh before dinner, and they don't care what happened whats the matter.

After Li Yuan learned of the result, he also understood with a smile, and continued to sing the oboe with Jia Xu in Ling Hong's mansion.

In other prefectures and counties, the generals under the command of Chu Wangfu took over cities in an orderly manner.

………………

Huanyang City is one of the five largest cities in Huanzhou, because the Zhou family, the top family in Huanzhou, is located here.

The crowds in Huanyang City are crowded, bustling and bustling, and it is extremely lively and prosperous. As the base camp of the Zhou family, the chaos outside will not affect this place at all.

On the street, a luxurious and huge restaurant is located in the center of the street, where people come and go, and it is very lively.

There is a lot of people here, every wine table is full of people, and the noise is extraordinary.

In the most noble attic at the top of the restaurant, the four sides are wide, and dozens of people don't look crowded here. The most conspicuous table in the middle is boiling a pot of wine, emitting a strong aroma of wine.

Four men with extraordinary temperament sat together, and behind them, there were a group of young men from aristocratic families scattered on various tables.

Everyone exchanged cups and drank lightly, and talked happily.

Although Zhou Yan appeared relaxed and comfortable, he was very depressed inside. It has been five days since Leng Aojian assassinated Xun Yu.

Now there is no news about Leng Aojian. Although Xun Yu issued the announcement the next day that the assassin had been awarded the head, Zhou Yan scoffed at that at that time. He already knew that there was no redundant venerable guarding Li Yuan in Lingyuan Mansion.

Leng Ao is the arrogance of heaven that he has tried his best to subdue in every possible way. He is an existence that is invincible in the Tianwu realm. No one can kill him without the action of the venerable.

Zhou Yan also wanted to wait for Leng Aojian to successfully assassinate Xun Yu and become famous in one fell swoop, and then use him as the main link to contact the forces of various states to have an assassination feast against King Chu of Lingzhou.

But Leng Aojian didn't respond to any message in the past few days, and the spies who had contacted Leng Aojian also lost the news, which made Zhou Yan's heart sink bit by bit.

"Young Master Zhou, it seems that Xun Yu is still alive now!"

Opposite Zhou Yan, the one who spoke was a slightly fat man with a fat face but fair skin.

His surname is Song and his last name is Lan. He is the eldest son of the Song family from a hidden family in Huanzhou.

Song Lan's words changed, making everyone quiet, watching Zhou Yan quietly, the purpose of this gathering is coming.

Next to him is the eldest son of the Black Flood Dragon Gang, Xu Shenglong, bronze-skinned, strong and burly, his eyes roll from time to time, revealing a trace of radiance.

On the right is Wang Yu, who is also a hidden family in Huanzhou Ling.

There are more than a dozen sons behind him, and they all come from various forces in Huanzhou.

The families of these people have joined forces with the Zhou family and the Heijiao Gang to form the Huanzhou Alliance, and the fathers are leading an army to attack Yizhou.

Now these sons who can represent each family were invited by Zhou Yan who had returned from the failed attack on Lingzhou a few days ago.

Today is the time to meet.

Song Lan narrowed his eyes, Zhou Yan had made it clear when he invited them.

Combine these forces and send assassins into various parts of Lingzhou to assassinate the officials of Chu Palace.

Leng Aojian is Zhou Yan's best weapon, and he was sent to assassinate Xun Yu.

If according to the normal time, Leng Aojian should hold Xun Yu's head and put it here to give everyone a reassurance, the Assassin Alliance could be formed in an instant.

But now Xun Yu is still staying in Lingrong Mansion, and is preparing to formulate a drastic system for Lingzhou's various mansions.

But Leng Aojian disappeared.

"I heard that on the second day after Xun Yu was assassinated, the Chu Palace issued an announcement that the assassin had been caught."

Wang Yu gave Song Lan a look, with a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

Zhou Yan has become more and more arrogant recently, and he has the faint name of the first son of Huanzhou, so they are naturally dissatisfied.

And it was rumored that Xu Fengwu, the eldest lady of the Black Jiao Gang, was going to marry Zhou Yan.

If the Black Flood Dragon Gang wants to get closer to the Zhou family, then the Song family and the Wang family must get closer.

They also wanted to kill Zhou Yan's arrogance.

A group of sons behind him all looked at Zhou Yan, trying to see something from his expressionless face. If Leng Aojian, the Tianjiao of Huanzhou, failed to assassinate Xun Yu, wouldn't they still send assassins to give away his head?

Zhou Yan glanced at the gloating eyes of the two, raised his glass calmly, and said lightly:

"When the King of Chu and Chu Qingyan came to Lingzhou, I remember that you still bet on how long the three major forces in Lingzhou can solve Chu Qingyan and King Chu.

When Chu Junyan stepped into Lingzhou a year ago, they bet again that when the Zhen Guofu will solve the three major forces.

When the three major forces form an alliance with the Wang family, and the king of Chu allies with Chu Junyan and Chu Qingyan, you are betting again that the battle between the Chu alliance and the Ling alliance will last for several years!
But no one thought that King Chu, whom we have never paid much attention to, would unexpectedly solve all the forces in Lingzhou step by step.

Who would have thought that in less than two years, the King of Chu could grow to this point!
Shall we continue to gamble now, to see if we will deal with King Ming first, or King Chu will control Lingzhou first? "

Zhou Yan's faint words, like a heavy hammer, woke up the casual people, and their faces gradually became solemn.

Xu Shenglong next to him spoke:

"One king of Ming is enough to fight against our two major alliances. The king of Chu is slowly expanding beside us. Everything Young Master Zhou has done is to prevent our Huanzhou from being attacked. I don't think you want the king of Chu to rule Ling under our noses. state, and do nothing."

"Now the King of Chu has sent troops to subdue all the mansions, and the rear is empty. It is a good time for us to create chaos. If we don't send people now, why don't we go after the King of Chu controls Lingzhou?"

"Young Master Zhou and Mr. Xu are right. We can't just watch the King of Chu dominate Lingzhou and do nothing, and send people into Lingzhou to cause trouble for the King of Chu."

A son behind him supported Zhou Yan.

"That's right, even if we delay the King of Chu's control of Lingzhou, it's still a victory!"

Another son also stood up to support.

The others also nodded one after another. As an alliance, they have a natural hostile relationship with the royal family.

There were still a small group of people looking at Song Lan and Wang Yu, waiting for their statement.

Wang Yu and Song Lan looked at each other. They were at least consistent in dealing with King Chu. Wang Yu asked:
"What Young Master Zhou said is reasonable, but we must do things effectively. Mr. Zhou's Leng Aojian is famous, and it is impossible to assassinate civil officials like Xun Yu. It can be seen that the King of Chu has already paid attention to the defense of officials. If we send people into Lingzhou , now the King of Chu must be on guard, isn't he throwing himself into a trap?"

Zhou Yan responded easily: "Don't worry, everyone, I have made a clear investigation. Leng Aojian's assassination should be said to be very successful at that time. Unfortunately, at that time, there happened to be a strong man with a sword in the Tianwu realm who blocked Leng Aojian. Later, reinforcements from the Chu Palace arrived. It was not until Leng Aojian gave up on the assassination of Xun Yu that he finally left calmly."

Song Lan also nodded, and asked the question he wanted to know the most:

"I really want to know now, is Leng Aojian still alive?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Yan in unison, waiting for their answer. They also wanted to know whether Leng Aojian was still alive.

It doesn't matter if he failed to assassinate Xun Yu on the first day, but he died the next day?
This is Leng Aojian, the famous Huanzhou Tianjiao!

If this is the case, then Lingzhou is in Longtan Tiger's Den!
Hearing Song Lan's question, Zhou Yan laughed loudly and said:
"Haha, how could Aojian be caught? He is now accepting my order, lurking in Lingyang Mansion, and preparing to attack Zhou Xuan, the magistrate of Lingyang Mansion!"

"Because Ao Jian was a little impulsive in assassinating Xun Yu at that time, I made Ao Jian lie dormant and wait quietly for the opportunity."

"I see!"

Hearing Zhou Yan's explanation, everyone nodded with smiles on their faces.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhou Yan stood up, raised his glass and said loudly:
"Come on, everyone, let's drink this cup together and wish success!"

"Please, Young Master Zhou!"

A group of sons and brothers behind all stood up and catered to Zhou Yan.

Song Lan, Wang Yu, and Xu Shenglong also raised their glasses to express their agreement.

The corners of Zhou Yan's mouth rose slightly.

At this moment, a bag slammed heavily in front of everyone from the window, and a round head rolled out of the bag.

Leng Aojian's dead face was facing the smiling Zhou Yan!
Everyone be quiet!
A woman in Tsing Yi stood on the window sill, covered her face with a green gauze, and her hair fluttered!
