Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 380 Song Jiang and Li Zongyi
"Cough cough!"

In a small courtyard to the east of Aoki City, two weak coughs could be heard from time to time. The closer to the courtyard, the faint scent of medicine filled the air.

"Brother Gongming."

The hospital was crowded with people. After several days of treatment, Song Jiang finally passed the critical period and they were able to come and visit.

Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, He Yong, Hao Zhenming, Zhou Tie, Luo Chang, Yan Xia and other close relatives crowded in the room and looked worriedly at Song Jiang lying on the bed.

Song Jiang's face was pale and his lips were a little purple. Looking at the worried eyes of everyone, he opened his mouth and wanted to smile. Unfortunately, it seemed that the movement was too large and it hit his chest. He felt another pain and breathed inwardly.

"Brother Gongming!"

Everyone couldn't help but take a step forward, their faces tense.

"Brothers, don't worry about me, I'm fine." Song Jiang seemed to be enduring great pain and comforted everyone with a smile.

When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help clenching their fists with anger in their eyes.

"It's too much to bully people in Fengxue Tower. I'm going to seek justice for brother Gongming!"

Zhou Tie's eyes were red, he drew out his ax directly, turned around and rushed out.

"Tie Niu, don't be impulsive."

"Tie Niu, don't go."

Yan Xia and Luo Chang beside him immediately stopped Zhou Tie.

"Get out of your way!"

Zhou Tie saw the two of them standing in front of him and bumped into them with his body.

It's a pity that Yan Xia is a strong master, and Zhou Tieru can't get over it no matter what.

"What are you doing? You don't want to seek justice for brother Gongming. Then I can do it alone. Why are you trying to stop me!" Zhou Tie's eyes widened, his eyebrows stood up one by one, and veins popped up on his forehead. Staring at Yan Xia angrily.

"Tie Niu, don't be impulsive, now is not the time!"

"Tiantian said it's not the right time, so tell me when we can seek justice for brother Gongming."

"Don't worry Tieniu, we will definitely help brother Gongming get justice!"

The people next to him grabbed Zhou Tie one by one and tried to persuade him.

"If you can't get justice now, what's the point of getting it later, get out of the way!" Zhou Tie didn't listen to a word, looking like he was unbearably angry.

Although Zhou Tie is a reckless man, he knows that he is the first to follow his brother Gongming!

Although more and more strong men are joining Brother Gongming, and he himself is only in the Xiantian realm, Brother Gongming has never disliked him and has always trusted him. Now that Brother Gongming is in trouble, how can he not retaliate!

"Tieniu!" At this time, Song Jiang's weak voice came from behind, making Zhou Tie's body stiffen as he was filled with anger and wanted to rush out.

"Tie Niu, come here... cough cough... cough cough..."

Hearing Song Jiang cough again, Zhou Tie quickly turned around, threw the cold ax and quickly came to the bedside, looking at Song Jiang nervously:

"Brother Gongming, are you okay?"

Song Jiang stretched out a pale and weak hand with difficulty, and Zhou Tie immediately held it with both hands.

Feeling the warmth of Zhou Tie's hands, Song Jiang smiled and said happily:

"Tieniu, my brother knows that you are eager to seek justice for your brother. Not only you, but also the brothers in front of you want to seek justice for your brother."

Song Jiang glanced at the crowd, took a deep breath, and continued:
"Ahem...but now is not the time for us to seek justice, ahem..."

"Brother Gongming..." Zhou Tie opened his eyes wide with confusion on his face.

"Don't worry, everyone. When I recover from my injuries, I will definitely seek justice and prove my innocence." Song Jiang's face showed a mixture of anger and aggrieved expression.

Everyone nodded in unison, with angry expressions on their faces. This damn Fengxuelou actually dared to frame brother Gongming.

"Brother Gongming is right, we must let Fengxue Tower..." Hao Zhenming and the others next to them were just about to say something, when suddenly a report came from outside the door.

"Brother Song, Master Li is here."

In the room, the affectionate atmosphere changed instantly, and almost everyone frowned.

Soon, Li Zongyi came in with Zheng Bolun.

Everyone made a way, but their faces looked away.

Li Zongyi looked at the expressions of everyone around him and sighed inwardly. He knew that his actions had disappointed the people below. He looked at the pale Song Jiang, quickened his pace, and quickly came to the bedside.

"Gongming, are you feeling better?"

"Master Li...ahem..." Song Jiang wanted to get up, but the wound on his chest was pulled at every move.

"Gongming, don't move. Lie down quickly."

Li Zongyi came to the bed, quickly leaned over and held Song Jiang's hand that he had just taken out, and expressed concern.

"Humph!"

Zhou Tie, who was squatting beside the bed, snorted unceremoniously at Li Zongyi, stood up, and took a few steps back, as if he was guarding the bedside.

Zheng Bolun, who followed Li Zongyi, looked at Song Jiang lying on the bed. There were so many people caring about him, and jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Why do so many people like and admire Song Jiang!
He doesn't agree!
"Gongming, I can't help you!" Li Zongyi held Song Jiang's hand with a look of guilt on his face.

Song Jiang shook his head, looked past Li Zongyi, looked at Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and others and said:

"You go down first."

"Yes, brother Gongming!"

Everyone didn't want to see Li Zongyi at all now. After hearing Song Jiang's words, they all left with fists in their hands.

"Buren, please step back first."

Li Zongyi saw that Song Jiang meant that he wanted to say something to him alone, so he also asked Zheng Bolun to go out.

"Yes, sir." Zheng Bolun said respectfully, looked at Song Jiang, clasped his fists and said goodbye: "Congratulations to Brother Song for being out of danger."

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng, for your concern." Song Jiang responded with a smile.

"Hmph!" Zhou Tie next to him snorted again. He was very unhappy with Zheng Bolun. "Zhou Tie, please go out too." Song Jiang also asked him to go out.

"Oh!"

After the two left, the door was closed.

Song Jiang was lying on the pillow, staring at Li Zongyi and said:

"Master Li, will you believe that I am a member of the King of Chu?"

Li Zongyi immediately shook his head and said firmly:
"Gongming, how can you be a member of the King of Chu? In the whole Lianzhou, you are the person I trust most. If I can't trust you, who can I trust?"

Song Jiang saw the sincerity in Li Zongyi's eyes, and his eyes softened.

"Don't worry, Gongming, I will definitely seek justice for you and make Lian Wucan and Xu Heng pay the price they deserve." Li Zongyi looked determined, but soon became a little embarrassed and said: "This is not the right time. It will take a while.”

It was true that he felt sorry for Song Jiang.

Especially when faced with Lian Wucan's sneak attack, Song Jiang's first reaction was to push himself out. He was really touched.

But Lian Wucan had a good reason, and Xu Heng was a member of King Yu. The Lianzhou Alliance didn't want to make everyone unhappy just for a mere Song Jiang, so they wanted to minimize the big issue.

And he had no choice but to wrong Song Jiang first for the sake of the unity of the Lianzhou Alliance.

Song Jiang shook his head and sighed: "Sir, do you really think it's just Lian Wucan and Xu Heng who are deliberately wronging me?"

Li Zongyi's face changed slightly, and his tone dropped a few degrees, "Gongming, what you mean is..."

When Song Jiang saw a trace of nervousness flashing in Li Zongyi's eyes, he knew that Li Zongyi had also guessed something, and nodded:
"Sir, have you ever thought that King Yu is behind this?"

Li Zongyi's eyelids drooped. In the past few days, he had been thinking about Lian Wucan's sneak attack on Song Jiang. No matter how he thought about it, it was wrong. It was too sudden and too strange.

How could he kill him just because of a suspicion?
Li Zongyi also doubted whether King Yu was targeting him.

Seeing that he and Song Jiang were alone, Li Zongyi nodded and said honestly: "Gongming, to be honest, I also suspected that King Yu wanted to target me, but why did he target me?"

Li Zongyi shook his head at the end. After thinking about this, he gave up the idea. He didn't believe that King Yu was targeting him. King Yu had no enmity with him, and he was a member of the royal family. What was King Yu doing? Target him.

Can't find a reason at all.

"Sir, do you still remember why our Fengxue Tower summoned us?" Seeing Li Zongyi's disbelief, Song Jiang's expression became solemn and his eyes became sharp.

"Of course I remember, wasn't it because Tang Mu, under King Yu, went to visit Lu Junyi secretly, and then Fengxue Tower came to us..." At this point, Li Zongyi suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had caught something.

"That's right, Tang Mu came to Lu Junyi. Why did Tang Mu come to Lu Junyi?" A sneer appeared on Song Jiang's lips.

"Yes, why did Tang Mu look for Lu Junyi?" Li Zongyi narrowed his eyes and repeated in a serious tone. At that time, Tang Mu suddenly looked for Lu Junyi, which caused quite a shock. However, after Lian Wucan attacked Song Jiang, things seemed to be over. After that, he no longer cared about why Tang Mu was looking for Lu Junyi.

Song Jiang asked another question:
"Master Li, do you think King Yu wants to conquer the Lianzhou Alliance?"

"Of course, King Yu definitely wants to conquer the Lianzhou Alliance." Li Zongyi said without thinking.

"Then who do you think is the biggest obstacle for King Yu to conquer the Lianzhou Alliance?"

"Of course it's the King of Chu. He must kill the King of Chu first..." Li Zongyi said, suddenly his eyes opened: "No, King Yu wants to conquer the Lianzhou Alliance. His biggest obstacle is..."

Li Zongyi suddenly looked at Song Jiang, his eyes gradually became sharp, and said word by word: "It's Lu Junyi and me!"

Song Jiang met Li Zongyi's sharp eyes and sneered: "Tang Mu went to Lu Junyi, Xu Heng went to Lian Wucan, and then we were attacked!"

"Master Li, I, Song Jiang, am not bragging. If I had not pushed you out at that time, do you think you would have been implicated in the aftermath?"

Li Zongyi's pupils shrank. Looking back at the scene at that time, he felt a chill in his heart. He was very close to Song Jiang at that time, and facing the attack of Lian Wucan, a Dharma Master, he couldn't guarantee that he could not survive. Implicated in the aftermath.

"If you were seriously injured by Lian Wukan's "aftermath" at that time, and they were justified in trying to sneak attack me, but you were implicated, in that case you think you would have suffered. Can King Yu be held responsible for the injury? Is he suffering in vain?" Song Jiang said in a low voice.

"King Yu is now destroying your status in the alliance. I am Lord Li's most trusted subordinate, so they deliberately framed me as a member of the King of Chu!"

Li Zongyi's expression was startled. Is King Yu destroying his position in the alliance?

Seeing Li Zongyi's confusion, Song Jiang said, "Sir, think about it. If King Yu wants to conquer the alliance, he will naturally have to deal with Lu Junyi and you who belong to the imperial court first."

Li Zongyi nodded and said: "Indeed, if the Lianzhou Alliance loses our two forces, King Yu will be much easier."

Li Zongyi narrowed his eyes, suddenly thought of something, and immediately said: "So King Yu sent Tang Mu to find Lu Junyi to subdue him!"

"Yes, Lu Junyi used to be Emperor Yao's man, but now Emperor Yao is in a coma, and the eldest princess controls the court, so Lu Junyi's position is very awkward. For Prince Yu, Lu Junyi is a person worth winning over.

And my lord, you are a member of King Heng and a member of the royal family. King Yu knows that he cannot win you over and cannot kill you, so they focus on me and use the false accusation that I am a member of the King of Chu to achieve their ulterior motives. , once this incident came out, although King Yu had no evidence to prove that I was from King Chu, the Lianzhou Alliance could no longer easily trust me, nor could it easily trust our group of subordinates. Isn't this weakening the power of your lord! "Song Jiang sighed.

Li Zongyi narrowed his eyes, and when Song Jiang said this, things seemed to become clearer.

Song Jiang had already noticed Li Zongyi's movements with his peripheral vision, and continued to say:
"I am your most trusted subordinate. Now I have been seriously injured by Lian Wuzan, but they have done nothing. Not to mention what people outside think of you, there are many people below who don't understand you. Just in case. The king is fanning the flames secretly, sir, you have become alienated!"

Li Zongyi's fists in his sleeves clenched suddenly.

What Song Jiang said is not impossible, and the situation has even begun to move in this direction.

He had seen everyone's expressions just now. Although his own people were respectful to him along the way, there was always a sense of aggrievedness and dissatisfaction with him on their faces.

"Sir, please think about it again, which one of the Lianzhou Alliance had the best relationship with us before?" Song Jiang continued to ask.

Li Zongyi blurted out: "Fengxue Tower!"

"what about now?"

Li Zongyi's pupils shrank, he slowly closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said:

"Gong Ming, you are right, King Yu wants to conquer the Lianzhou Alliance, so he will definitely attack me!"

Li Zongyi now completely believes Song Jiang's words.

Fengxuelou was his staunch ally before, but after what happened with Lian Wucan, the relationship between Fengxuelou and him has become so bad now!

"Sir, we have to be careful now." Song Jiang said with a solemn expression.

"Gongming, what do you think we should do now?" Li Zongyi's anger turned into panic. King Yu's simple strategy put him in a dilemma. Can he really defeat King Yu?
"Sir, Fengxue Tower is no longer trustworthy. I even suspect that the owner of Fengxue Tower summoned us there on purpose."

"This is very possible!" Li Zongyi gritted his teeth and nodded heavily, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence!

Song Jiang sighed: "Sir, what I'm most worried about now is that King Yu deliberately sent our people to the battlefield to die in order to continue to cut off your wings!"
