Pushing the Three Thousand Worlds

Chapter 322 Young Master Dai

The battle between the princes of Yong Kingdom for more than ten years around the position of the monarch finally came to an end.

As a result, Lao Yonghou died, and son Qu inherited the position of King of Yong.

For several years, Young Master Qu has always been supported by his teacher, Sikong Yunli, and he is quite powerful in the court of Yong Kingdom. He is the most likely person to inherit the throne among the several young masters.

In fact, among the three divisions, Sima is the most powerful, Situ is the second, and Sikong is the weakest.

But Sima held the power of the army, and Lao Yonghou would not allow him to participate in the power struggle among the princes and get too close to any prince.

Situ, on the other hand, had no intention of participating in the dispute between the sons, which led to the son Qu, who was supported by Sikong, becoming the most powerful son in the court.

Only Prince Lian, who has the support of Si Kou, can barely compete with him.

But before January, Young Master Qu's reliance, his teacher Sikong Yunli was assassinated and killed, and the person who assumed the position of Sikong was not from his faction.

This caused him, who was originally the most powerful and most likely to inherit the position of the monarch, to suddenly become the person who lost the most power and seemed the least likely to inherit the position of the monarch.

Young Master Qu seemed unable to bear this huge blow, and since then he has been devastated. He who had been up and down in the court, began to say nothing, looking devastated and extremely sad.

More than ten days before the death of Lao Yonghou in the court hall, he asked him why he was like this in the court hall.

With red eyes, he replied.

"One is because the teacher was assassinated and died more than ten days ago, and the other is that seeing my father's body is getting worse day by day, my heart feels like a knife, and I feel even more sad."

As he was talking, he knelt down on the ground in an extremely disrespectful manner above the court hall, weeping loudly in front of everyone, until he couldn't make a sound.

The young masters in the court looked at the once high-spirited young master Qu so unbearably, and laughed at him in their hearts.

Why is it because the teacher was assassinated and died, and the father's health is getting weaker day by day, I'm afraid it's because he fell from the peak to the bottom overnight, and lost the throne that was already close at hand. Can say so!
From then on, the several sons all regarded him as the enemy, and kicked him out of the queue that might compete with him for the position of king.

After son Qu lost power, son Lian became the most likely person to inherit the throne, but no son was willing to give up the throne.

Especially in the last few days when Old Yonghou couldn't get out of bed, the competition among several sons for the position of monarch became more intense. During this period, he could only stand in a corner of the court like an outsider.

In the end, no matter how unwilling the young masters were, in the competition in the court, the young master Lian still had the upper hand.

Just when everyone thought that Lao Yonghou would definitely pass on the title of monarch to his son Lian, and some sons had already started trying to repair their relationship with his son Lian to curry favor with him.

Unexpectedly, after Lao Yonghou passed away and left a will, he actually passed on the title of king to his son Qu!

Pass the throne to the downtrodden, young master Qu who is least likely to inherit the throne? !
All the sons felt resentful, but there was nothing they could do.

With the old Yonghou's death, Sima, Situ and Keqing are all on the side of Gongzi Qu, and they can't make any troubles no matter what.

Several young masters who usually had a bad relationship with Young Master Qu fled away one after another.

After some preparations, Young Master Qu ascended the throne smoothly and became the king of the Yong Kingdom.

Above the court hall of the Lama Temple.

The middle-sized and upright young master Qu, wearing a crown on his head and a black robe embroidered with patterns of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, walked towards the big chair without squinting.

His Highness and his ministers leaned over and shouted.

"Meet the king!"

Young Master Qu turned around and sat down, his eyes swept over the officials of His Royal Highness, a strange light flashed in his eyes, with a faint smile on his face, he stretched out his hands, and said slowly.

"All the doctors are flat."

Some of his stupid brothers didn't figure out why his father passed the throne to him in the end.

A sneer flashed in Young Master Qu's eyes.

The essence of the struggle for power among the brothers in the court was to show their abilities and means to Lao Yonghou as much as possible, so that he could better choose his successor.

Over the past few years, he has proven his ability in the court. It can be said that he is the most qualified to inherit the position of the monarch among his brothers. Even if he loses power in the end, it doesn't matter anymore.

Unless the entire court is controlled and Lao Yonghou is emptied, the so-called power is just a matter of Lao Yonghou's thought.

Similarly, who will eventually inherit the position of the monarch is not determined by who gains power in the court.

Whoever satisfies Old Yonghou will be the next Emperor of the Yong Kingdom!
Lao Yonghou also knew that his death was approaching. What he wanted to see was not the fierce battle between several sons over the position of the monarch, but what he wanted more was his son's concern for him, and his son's showing that he was concerned about his imminent death. sad.

After his teacher Yunli was assassinated to death, he had no choice but to show great compassion and filial piety, and finally made a right bet that Lao Yonghou would pass on the title of monarch to him before his death.

Now that he has satisfactorily ascended to the position of Emperor Yong, it's time for revenge!
Young Master Qu's eyes are cold.

"Announce to the world that there are assassins who are bold enough to assassinate Teacher Benhou. If anyone kills the assassin, he will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and will be made a guest of the Yong Kingdom."

Originally, he should have inherited the throne without any risk, because the assassin assassinated Yunli, which made him inherit the throne with some twists and turns.

But in fact, he was somewhat grateful to the assassin who assassinated Yunli.

He worshiped Yunli as his teacher, but he just wanted to rely on his power without much sincerity.

If Yunli hadn't died, Yunli would become his hindrance after he ascended the throne.

Due to the limitations of etiquette and righteousness, he may not be able to ignore his opinions in many things, and he has to endure the other party's criticism of him as a monarch, and he cannot attack him.

Yunli's death saved him a lot of trouble.

But just like if Yunli is alive, even if he has no respect for his teacher in his heart, he can't be disrespectful to Yunli on the surface.

His teacher was assassinated, and he, a student, had to show something!

What's more, if he can avenge him, it will be good for his reputation to some extent!

Fengqiu, the assassin incarnated by Li Qiu, is quite powerful, and possesses a secret method that can hide his heartbeat and change his face. Coupled with the rewards offered by Yonghou, his reputation quickly spread in the north, and many people heard of it, many of whom were interested. or remember him.

Zhangguo, Gucheng.

In the stronghold of Tianwen organization.

After Li Qiu learned from Huang Lao's mouth that Young Master Qu had succeeded to the throne of the Yong Kingdom and that there was a reward for his head, he didn't pay much attention to it.

After thanking Mr. Huang for his reminder, he turned to ask about the commission.

"This commission comes from You Country. The identity of the client is unknown. The target of the assassination is You Hou."

Huang Lao said slowly.

"The other person who entrusted the assassination to the organization, I hope to see your Excellency."

"He promised that if he could see Your Excellency, the original reward would be increased from [-] gold to [-] gold!"

You country is not as powerful as Yong country.

The difficulty of assassinating his monarch is at most more difficult than assassinating Yunli.

It's just that because You Hou is the king of a country, the remuneration is also higher, and an additional five thousand gold is required.

But the client said that if he could see Li Qiu, he could add another five thousand gold.

You Hou's status is only five thousand gold, and he is willing to pay another five thousand gold just to see him, which has to be said to be a big deal.

Li Qiu frowned, he remembered the reward that he didn't take to heart just now.

Because the assassination that needs to be entrusted is related to their own life and death, some clients are not at ease, so they will ask for extra money to meet the assassin, and only after verifying their ability can they be assured of entrusting. This is not uncommon.

But just after he was offered a reward, someone asked for more money to see him, it was really hard not to make him suspicious.

Huang Lao seemed to know what Li Qiu was thinking, and reminded him.

"Your Excellency, you don't have to worry, because this commission was issued before Yonghou's death."

"Before Yonghou passed away?"

Hearing this, Li Qiu felt at ease.

At that time, Gongzi Qu had not yet been confirmed as the next Yongguo monarch, and the reward was announced after he ascended the throne.

As for the fact that Young Master Qu wanted to avenge his teacher at that time, it was almost impossible to send someone to You Guo to set up a trick.

At that time, the overall situation was uncertain, how could he have such thoughts.

And if he really set up this trick, he shouldn't post a reward later to make him suspicious.

"If your Excellency is interested, the client will arrange to meet you in a mansion in Hucheng, Youguo two days later."

Huang Lao took out some pieces of silk cloth from under the counter and put them on the counter.

Li Qiu glanced over.

Among them is You Houhe, who is responsible for protecting his portrait and other information of You Guokeqing.

There is also a map of Youguohu City, marked with a red dot, which should be the house where the client asked him to meet.

After thinking for a while, Li Qiu put away the silk cloth on the counter.

"I take this commission."

Hu Cheng happened to be on his way to the capital of You Country, so it's okay to meet him along the way.

Assassination commissions are rare. Usually, like other Qi refiners, he absorbs the vitality from jade to speed up his practice.

I didn't give up the cultivation of self-cultivation and vitality technique just because I can use the source force to improve.

Every time his strength increases, the source of power to advance to the next level can be reduced.

The same is true between self-practice vitality technique and using source force to enhance vitality technique.

So in a sense, the jade that can speed up his practice can almost be equated with Yuanli.

And buying jade, especially the flawless jade that contains more vitality of heaven and earth, requires a lot of money!

Two days later, You Guo attacked the city.

In a restaurant, Li Qiu was wearing a black robe and changed into another ordinary face, sitting at a table drinking wine.

While drinking, he paid attention to the movement of a house diagonally across the street.

Although the other party wanted to see him, it was unlikely to be malicious, but the so-called caution made the Wannian ship.

Suddenly Li Qiu's ears moved.

A carriage was coming from the side of the street.

This carriage is very unusual, it should be the person he is waiting for.

The driver's heart beat like a heavy drum, and his blood flowed like a river. He was extremely powerful, and he was probably a dragon-level body refiner.

There were two people sitting in the carriage, one of them had nothing to say, the key point was that the heartbeat of the other was very slow unlike ordinary people, and he was a Qi refiner with a high level.

Li Qiu estimated that he should be the same as him in the later stage of Lichen.

He didn't turn his head to look, afraid that his sight would attract his attention.

Drinking wine with a calm face, waited for the three of them to enter the house.

After waiting for a while, he paid the bill, stood up and walked out of the restaurant, walked around the house, and after making sure that there was no one worthy of note within a few miles, he stood in front of the house.

Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door, and a rough-looking man in rough clothes opened the door.

He looked at Li Qiu, who was of medium stature and ordinary appearance, with doubts in his eyes.

"What's the matter?"

"Appointment."

Li Qiu replied slowly.

A look of surprise flashed in the big man's eyes.

Because Li Qiu's heartbeat and other signs he heard were no different from ordinary people.

"How to prove that you are the person my master is waiting for."

A normal heartbeat doesn't prove anything.

He was afraid that the person his master was waiting for had just found an ordinary person to come to the appointment instead of him.

After all, Yonghou, who was newly enthroned, offered a reward to that person.

Li Qiu stretched out his hand, and lightly crushed a corner of the door.

The fine sawdust crushed by two slender fingers fell before the big man's eyes.

"This power..."

The big man frowned.

This power is nothing to him who has the power of the two dragons.

Even whale-level body refiners can easily do it.

But if the person who can do this is a person whose heartbeat and signs are normal, the meaning it represents is very extraordinary.

"Come in, the master has been waiting for you for a long time."

The big man stepped aside and stretched out his hand.

Li Qiu nodded, and walked towards the courtyard.

The house is extremely ordinary, it should just be bought by the other party as a temporary place to meet him.

The big man led the way and opened the door for Li Qiu.

Li Qiu stepped into the room.

There were two people kneeling in the room, one was wearing a brocade robe and a black cloak, with a fair complexion, a man in his 30s, with a gentle temperament.

A Qi refiner in a plain robe sat kneeling aside with his eyes closed, as if he was recuperating.

"Your Excellency is the assassin Fengqiu?"

The white-faced man bowed his hands.

Li Qiu knelt down and returned the salute.

"Yes."

"I thought that Yonghou offered a reward for your life, and you might not attend the appointment for your own safety."

"But I didn't expect that Your Excellency still came."

The white-faced man smiled lightly.

Li Qiu didn't speak.

he asked instead.

"Aren't you curious about who I am who commissioned you to assassinate You Hou and meet you?"

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly.

"Your Excellency should be You Hou's younger brother."

When You Hou died, whoever could get the most benefit might be the one who commissioned the assassination.

Youhou is the eldest son of the old Youhou, and has only three younger brothers.

Judging by his age, it is also in line with his conjecture.

"Your Excellency guessed right, I am You Hou's youngest brother, Young Master Dai."

"Master Dai?"

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly, as far as he knew, this person's identity was very special among Youhou's three younger brothers.

Among the four sons of You Hou in the previous generation of You State, the son Dai is the youngest. It is said that because his appearance is the most similar to the previous generation You Hou, it is said that he is even six or seven points similar, so he is very much loved by You Hou.

Even Youhou once wanted to pass on the title of monarch to him, but because of the firm opposition of the ministers, it finally fell through.

"Looking at your expression, you should have heard of me."

"Back then, I was most similar to my father because of my appearance and temperament. I was deeply loved by my father, and almost everything went according to my wish."

"But I have never been accepted and recognized by those doctors in the court!"

"Because I am the son of a humble handmaid."

"In their eyes, I'm just a product of my father's drunkenness, and I don't deserve to be called a noble at all."

"Even some maids and servants in the palace dare to talk and laugh at me behind my back!"

Young Master Dai's originally gentle face gradually became a little distorted, his fists clenched tightly, and strong unwillingness and resentment were revealed in his eyes!
