Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 227 The Purpose of Venerable Xu's Appearance
The soldiers in Lingfeng City cheered. They thought they would have a fierce battle today, but they didn't expect the Huanzhou Alliance army to retreat. This victory greatly encouraged the soldiers of Lingfeng City who were a little afraid. A burst of confidence gushed out, they might not be able to stop the Huanzhou League.

In the city lord's mansion, Yuwen Chengdu and others who had just experienced a great battle sat on their seats one by one, with Li Jiang and the others on the left.

Elders Yang Zaitian and Ren Lie were also sitting below, their expressions as usual, but from the corner of their eyes they glanced at Liu Qingquan from time to time.

Cough!

Liu Qingquan coughed a few times, her face was pale, and her breath was a little broken. The battle just now was a bit difficult.

But no one paid attention to them at this time, and everyone's eyes were on Li Jiang.

Before, Li Jiang monopolized the two pinnacle venerables and still had the upper hand, his strength was terrifying.

Anyone who can become a venerable, who is not a person of Tianjiao level, is a very strong existence.

Moreover, the intention of Li Jiang's arrival is also very obvious.

"You should be very clear about our reason for coming, and I will not hide it." Li Jiang waved his sleeve robe, looked at the crowd and said, "The king of Chu was attacked and killed, and the entire royal family was very angry. These rebellious ministers and thieves of the state alliance are now raising troops everywhere. The imperial court cannot send troops to destroy the Huanzhou alliance for the time being. Therefore, Yaohuang has sent us to support you and guard Lingzhou with you. When the imperial army arrives, we can do it in one fell swoop Eliminate the Huanzhou Alliance and avenge the King of Chu!"

Li Hai and Li Zhong nodded slightly, but their eyes were on Li Si who was sitting on the main seat with a solemn face, deep doubts welled up in their hearts.

Who is this Li Si?

After entering Lingfeng City, when Li Si appeared, the respect Yu Wencheng, Ma Chao, and Xu Chu showed when they looked at him shocked them a little.

Yuwen Chengdu, Ma Chao, and Xu Chu are all well-known existences in Lingzhou. They have never heard of Li Si's name.

Why would these people pay homage to an unknown man?
Especially in the battle just now, Yuwen Chengdu's strength has become more intuitive and clear. Although it is only the early stage of Dharma Venerable Realm, his combat power has already surpassed one of them.

They also knew that Ma Chao and Xu Chu were two fierce generals, and they belonged to one of the key figures in Chu Palace.

And who is this Li Si, and what ability does he have to make high-ranking generals like Yu Wencheng, Ma Chao and Xu Chu obey?
Li Mu, Yu Wencheng and others also looked at Li Si, who was now the backbone.

Li Mu, Liu Qingquan, and Liu Chenfeng already knew that Li Yuan was not dead, now what Li Jiang meant was obvious, what should they do now?

"The three venerables came to help, we are very grateful." Li Si smiled calmly.

Jia Xu had discussed with him before that Emperor Yao, King Ming and even King Yu might send people to solicit him.

Yaohuang was in a hurry, so he was the first to send the Venerable over.

When Li Jiang saw Li Si's reply to this sentence lightly, he didn't read the following, and frowned.

Is this gone?

They are from the imperial court, don't they express their loyalty, thank Yaohuang, and thank the imperial court?
"Ahem, today's battle, I'm a little tired, why don't we go back to rest and recover our true energy, in case the Huanzhou Alliance attacks again."

Seeing the expressions of Li Jiang and the others, Li Mu quickly eased the atmosphere.

"Well, let's take a rest first." Yu Wencheng stood up, the remnant breath of the battle was extremely strong.

Liu Qingquan and Liu Chenfeng nodded one after another.

A flash of anger flashed in Li Hai's eyes, and the people in Chu Palace expressed that they just didn't want to continue the conversation and were trying to shirk Yaohuang's solicitation.

But Li Chong had a calm face, looking at Li Si from time to time.

When I first arrived, it was normal for the people in Chu Palace to be somewhat resistant to me, and now they didn't even know what was going on in the Chu Palace, so the matter of recruiting them really needed to be slowed down.

"Okay, let's take a rest first." Li Jiang looked at Li Si, who had been smiling all the time, with his usual expression and nodded heavily.

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

Compared with the harmonious departure of everyone in Lingfeng City, the atmosphere in Huanlin City was heavy, and everyone in the lobby was silent.

The master of the four major powers had a gloomy face, and the leaders below lowered their heads and lowered their brows, looking cautious.

Song Kong frowned tightly, looking at Xu Kuang from the corner of his eye from time to time.

Xu Kuang's eyes flickered, he looked up at Zhou Chi, then at the crowd, hesitant to speak.

In the end, Xu Kuang couldn't bear the loneliness the most. Seeing that everyone was silent, he opened his mouth and said:

"In today's battle, we did not expect that the imperial court would directly send His Holiness to support us, which caught us off guard and led to our rush to attack and fail today.

Now that there are three more venerables in Lingfeng City, how should we attack Lingzhou? "

After Xu Kuang uttered his voice, everyone raised their heads.

"Today, three venerables suddenly appeared to support Lingfeng City. No one could have expected it, but even if Lingfeng City had their support, they would not be our opponents." Zhou Chi's original gloomy expression disappeared and he returned to calm.

"Right now, there are only seven venerables in total in Lingfeng City. Although the venerable at the peak of the royal family is very powerful, we may not be unable to deal with them. We send two people to block them, and the remaining six venerables are not our opponents at all.

If there is another battle, send two peak venerables to block him, and then the other venerables will deal with the other venerables first, and then join forces to kill him. "

Wang Cheng nodded and said: "That's right, what's more, we have millions of troops. How can we be against 10,000+ people on the opposite side? After we start the battle of the lords, you will send an alliance army to directly attack Lingfeng City. Winning Fengcheng is the first step into Lingzhou!"

After hearing the words of the three powerful masters, the following leaders also regained their confidence.

So what if there are seven venerables on the opposite side, don't they have an alliance!

After the venerable was blocked, he still had to rely on the troops below to push the city.

Take down Lingfeng City, push back the venerable enemy army, and take down the city step by step to devour Lingzhou.

"However, leader, I still have a question." Xu Kuang looked at Zhou Chi, and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Who is the peak venerable who suddenly appeared in the alliance today? If I don't know, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep!"

Seeing Xu Kuang's initiative, Song Kong's heart moved, his eyes flickered, and he also looked at Zhou Chi, waiting for his answer.

Facing Xu Kuang's question, Zhou Chi also noticed Song Kong's gaze from the corner of his eye, and said with a smile:
"Haha! It's also my fault that I didn't tell you in advance. Lianzhou Tianlei Pavilion had already agreed to cooperate with our Huanzhou Alliance. For their sincerity in cooperation, Tianlei Pavilion is willing to send Xu Zun to help us solve Lingzhou together. He I just came here today, I didn't expect to meet us in a battle, and I took the initiative to show my aura, scaring off the Venerable Lingfeng City."

While speaking, a figure stepped into the lobby and instantly attracted everyone's attention. This person was the Venerable Xu who had gone to attack and kill Li Yuan together with Xu Xiong and the others.

Venerable Xu came in front of everyone, bowed slightly to the masters of the four major forces, and said with an apologetic smile:

"Today's battle, I rushed here suddenly. Because I didn't understand the situation, I could only exude momentum and scare the enemy away. I didn't help. I hope everyone will understand."

"No problem, no problem, thanks to Venerable Xu this time." Wang Cheng said with a smile on his face.

When Xu Kuang saw the arrival of Venerable Xu, the dissatisfaction in his eyes had disappeared, and he was a little more happy.

"It turned out to be Venerable Xu. With your help, why should we Huanzhou Alliance be afraid of the Venerables sent by the three royal families to support us!"

"Extremely, extremely." Song Kong also had a happy expression on his face.

The doubts in the hearts of the leaders of other forces have also been resolved, and it is indeed a good thing to have another venerable.

Some leaders warmly welcomed Venerable Xu's arrival.

However, some leaders looked a little unhappy.

It would be fine if this venerable is from the four major forces in Huanzhou, but this venerable is from the great power of Lianzhou. If he came to help, wouldn't he also want a share of the pie?
Sure enough, after everyone greeted Venerable Xu warmly, the entire lobby fell into an eerie calm.

Everyone's faces were tangled, but they didn't dare to ask more questions.

Originally, they had previously agreed that after the Huanzhou Alliance took down the nine mansions of Lingzhou, the four major powers would take eight mansions, and the twenty or so small and medium-sized forces could still drink some soup and take the Lingrong mansion together.

For these small and medium-sized forces, regardless of the small amount of land in a mansion, Ling Rong Mansion has nine counties, and each county has ten large cities, and each large city has more than a dozen small towns around it.

The faction that contributes a lot can get the land of a county, and even the faction that contributes little can get a few cities, which is enough for these small and medium forces to taste the big sweetness.

After all, there are only three Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouses among their twenty or so forces, and the army is only about 20. Without the combat power of the venerable, they can share a house, which is considered a very conscientious Huanzhou power.

But now there is another Tianlei Pavilion, how will it be divided then?

These small and medium-sized forces are very worried. They don't believe that the Zhou family and the Song family will kindly share their eight mansions with Tianlei Pavilion, and they may give up the only Zhongrong Mansion to Tianlei Pavilion.

Together, they are not as strong as a big power, and they have no right to speak at all. If the big power in Huanzhou gave Zhongrong Mansion to Tianlei Pavilion, they would just dare to be angry and dare not speak out.

"Don't worry, our four major powers can't treat the brothers of the alliance badly. After we promised you to take Lingzhou, Lingrong Mansion will still be yours!" Zhou Chi, who was in a good mood, comforted when he saw the sadness on the faces of these leaders.

Hearing Zhou Chi's words, these leaders raised their heads one after another, showing joy.

The leader said this in public, so he probably wouldn't break his promise.

"Thank you, leader!" Everyone felt relieved.

"Go down first and prepare for tomorrow's battle." Zhou Chi waved his hand, signaling for everyone to leave.

Everyone's face froze, fighting again so soon?
Zhou Chi explained: "We just attacked Lingzhou, and the royal family sent three venerables here. We must speed up and take down Lingzhou, otherwise something will happen if we wait for a long time."

"Yes!"

Everyone was shocked, and after leaving, they walked out of the lobby with solemn expressions.

Soon, only the Lords of the Four Great Powers and Venerable Xu were left in the lobby.

"Leader, what is the purpose of Tianlei Pavilion helping our Huanzhou Alliance?"

Xu Xiong seemed a little displeased with Venerable Xu, and asked directly regardless of Venerable Xu's presence.

And Xu Kuang's face was also a little bad. Zhou Chi said just now that he would not distribute Lingrong Mansion to Tianlei Pavilion. Wouldn't that mean that he would give another share of the land of the Eight Mansions reserved by the four major forces?
As for the idea of ​​not wanting Tianlei Pavilion at all, just wanting to help them, Xu Kuang scoffed.

Just kidding, there is no benefit, who will help, do you think it is a family?And also sent a Venerable shot?
Seeing Xu Xiong's unceremonious tone, Venerable Xu seemed to be used to Xu Xiong's too much, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, you two, our Tianlei Pavilion does have a purpose, but the purpose is not in Lingzhou."

"That's right, don't worry, everyone. Although Tianlei Pavilion helped us win Lingzhou, it will not interfere with our Lingzhou's interests." Zhou Chi saw the dissatisfied expressions of Xu Kuang and Xu Xiong, and the smile on his face remained unchanged. But in his heart, he became more and more at ease with the Black Flood Dragon Gang.

"Oh? What was the purpose of the Thunder Pavilion that day, lord, why didn't you discuss it with us?" After Song Kong was sure that Xu Kuang didn't know about the situation in the Tianlei Pavilion, his expression was a bit unkind, and he concealed it from Zhou Chi. Dissatisfied with the cooperation.

"I want to know too." Wang Cheng looked at Zhou Chi, his face showing dissatisfaction with being concealed.

Zhou Chi turned his head to look at Song Kong and Wang Cheng, still smiling and said:
"Patriarch Song, Patriarch Xu, and Patriarch Wang, I originally gave you a surprise. When Venerable Xu arrives, I will explain and discuss with you. I didn't expect that something unexpected happened in Lingfeng City today, so I haven't explained Xu to you. Venerable Xu appeared ahead of time because of the intention of the Venerable's visit."

Xu Kuang, Song Kong, and Wang Cheng looked at each other, and their eyes continued to stay on Zhou Chi, listening to him quietly.

Zhou Chi stood up, walked slowly to Venerable Xu, and explained:
"Originally, we won Lingzhou with absolute certainty, and we didn't need the help of any forces. The arrival of Venerable Xu in Tianlei Pavilion is just icing on the cake."

"That's right, Tianlei Pavilion knows that the Huanzhou Alliance won't have any problem in winning Lingzhou, so naturally it won't intervene in Lingzhou's interests." Xu Zun continued, "Our Tianlei Pavilion cooperates with the Huanzhou Alliance to share A slice of Yizhou!"

"Yizhou?"

Xu Kuang and Song Kong's eyes flashed.

Venerable Xu said: "Yes, our Tianlei Pavilion understands the current situation in Lianzhou. If we don't make changes, we will be resolved by the court sooner or later. Therefore, our Tianlei Pavilion is willing to cooperate with the Huanzhou Alliance to deal with the royal family.

Now Tianlei Pavilion has won over half of the forces in Lianzhou, but some forces are still on the sidelines of the Huanzhou Alliance. In order to convince them and understand the Huanzhou Alliance, our Tianlei Pavilion plans to send me to observe the Huanzhou Alliance. Let people from some forces come to cooperate with the Huanzhou Alliance for the first time to cultivate mutual trust. After you take Lingzhou, our Lianzhou will start a real cooperation with your Huanzhou Alliance to deal with King Ming and share the benefits equally state! "

"What do you think?" Zhou Chi glanced at the crowd.

"I think it's ok. We've discussed it before and cooperate with Lianzhou to resist the coming of the imperial army in the future." Wang Cheng nodded in agreement, looking at Xu Kuang and Song Kong.

"It's no problem to divide Yizhou equally." Song Kong nodded slightly, looked at Venerable Xu and continued: "However, under the current situation, I wonder if Venerable Xu is still willing to help us win Lingzhou and not interfere with Lingzhou's interests? "

The eyes of all the people present moved, they all understood what Song Kong meant.

Before the Huanzhou Alliance won Lingzhou, there was no problem at all, and it didn't matter if Venerable Xu made a move, because Tianlei Pavilion would naturally not interfere with Lingzhou's interests.

But now with the support of three royal family venerables, there are some more troubles, which makes the Huanzhou Alliance have a sense of urgency, and needs to take Lingzhou quickly, so Venerable Xu needs to make a move.
"Patriarch Song, don't worry, no matter what difficulties your Huanzhou Alliance encounters in Lingzhou, our Tianlei Pavilion is willing to help you, and the conditions will not change!" Venerable Xu agreed without the slightest hesitation.
