Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

Soon in Huanqing City, Li Yuan had received a letter from Shangguan Zhenyu.

"Haha, Shangguan Zhenyu is so calculating. When King Yu attacks us, let us go out of the city to fight, and then they will sneak attack from behind!"

This will first make us and King Yu consume each other, causing us heavy losses. "Li Yuan looked at Shangguan Zhenyu's letter with a mocking look on his face.

"It's normal. After all, although we have a cooperative relationship with the eldest princess, we are also rivals. What they want to see most is for both us and King Yu to suffer losses." Jia Xu said disapprovingly.

Li Yuan sneered and said, "Have they forgotten that Gu's main purpose is to guard the four states? Whether King Yu is defeated or retreats has nothing to do with us.

If they want Gu and Yu Wang to fight to the death before taking action, they can let Gu Yu Wang go and see who is anxious. "

Jia Xu saw Li Yuan's sneer, waved his feather fan lightly, nodded and smiled:

"Your Highness is wise, haven't we already "reminded" King Yu that things will not go according to their ideas?"

A confident smile appeared in Jia Xu's eyes: "They will only fight King Yu before us!"

"If the matter cannot be violated, then we will release King Yu, but Wei Wen, Tang Mu and others must die."

"Wei Wen is King Yu's confidant and the most trusted talent. If Wei Wen and Tang Mu die in this battle, even if King Yu escapes back to Yangzhou, the threat will not be great."

A light flashed in Jia Xu's eyes. If he couldn't solve King Yu, he would let him go. They would not help the eldest princess hold him down.

Originally, King Yu was betrayed by the eldest princess, and he already hated the eldest princess deeply. Wei Wen, Tang Mu and other relied-upon soldiers died in Lianzhou. King Yu would definitely go crazy and return to Yangzhou to meet the eldest princess. Fighting to the death, they can just sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers!

"Well, if we can solve King Yu, we will solve it. If we can't solve it, we will retreat." Li Yuan listened to Jia Xu's words and nodded. Then he seemed to have thought of something, and a sharp look appeared between his eyebrows:

"Then let's continue playing with him now."

Li Yuan's eyes flashed coldly. If Lu Junyi's intelligence hadn't told him that there was someone who wanted to be the king, he would have ignored this.

…………………………

As night fell, on the streets east of Huanqing City, Ran Qiba kept a friendly smile on every soldier passing by, and lived in Huanqing City with the attitude of a humble and respectful surrendering elder.

And his attitude made the Chu army officers have a good impression of him. Under the deliberate friendship with Ran Qiba, an elder of the Tianwu Realm, he had already had a good chat with many generals.

When Ran Qiba returned to his remote courtyard wearing a smiling mask, he took a deep breath and his face gradually became serious.

Although His Highness King Yu did not attack Huanqing City in the past few days, the strange military fluctuations and solemn atmosphere in Huanqing City made Ran Qiba feel nervous, especially the day before yesterday when the King of Chu asked him to enter a secret meeting and asked him to identify His Highness King Yu. The various routes the army would take to escape frightened Ran Qiba as he looked like he was about to defeat King Yu.

If Ran Qiba had seen King Chu's advance plan before King Chu destroyed Yundu Valley, he would have thought that King Chu was having some wild ideas. How could His Highness King Yu escape?

But the King of Chu killed Yun Dugu and six venerables overnight, which cast a shadow on Ran Qiba's heart. What if the King of Chu could find a way to defeat His Highness King Yu?

After thinking about it for a day and a night, Ran Qiba's inner premonition became stronger and stronger, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore. He wanted to send a message to King Yu, telling him about the changes in Huanqing City, so that King Yu would be alert.

That's right, Ran Qiba is the person who belongs to the King of Yu!

In fact, Ranqiba was a secret that King Yu buried in Fengxue Louzhu a long time ago. When Li Yuan defeated the Huanzhou Alliance army and captured Huanzhou, King Yu immediately ordered Ranqiba to find a way to become Yeonhuan. The guardian elder of Fengxue Tower.

Because King Yu knew that whether King Ming captured Huanzhou or Li Yuan captured Huanzhou, if they wanted to attack Lianzhou, their first target would be Lianhuan Mansion, so he specially asked Ran Qiba to guard Lianhuan Mansion.

When the enemy breaks into Lianhuan Mansion, Ran Qiba can surrender directly, or even trick people in Fengxue Tower as a bargaining chip to make the enemy trust him.

And Ran Qiba really did it. His words of surrender and the incident with the concubine of the Fengxue Tower owner were also true. Everything was done to make Li Yuan trust him.

After all, with the help of King Yu, Ran Qiba lived smoothly in Fengxue Tower.

If it weren't for Lu Junyi's information, Li Yuan might not have noticed that there was something wrong with Ran Qiba.

Even King Yu did not expect that Li Yuan would know about Ran Qiba's hidden secret so quickly, and all this was due to Lu Junyi's information. When Lu Junyi's information came into Li Yuan's hands, Li Yuan was shocked to learn that there was King Yu in the city. After Yin Zi, he quickly locked on Ran Qiba.

As an outsider who had just entered Huanqing City, and who was somewhat involved with Lian Wucan, who else could be there besides Ran Qiba?

Therefore, he resorted to a trick, firstly to taint the test, and secondly to avoid what happened to Shangguan Zhenyu just now, deliberately making both himself and King Yu suffer a loss before taking action.

Now King Yu wants to get the news and withdraw his troops earlier than they thought. Should Shangguan Zhenyu and the imperial army intercept them on their retreat road first and wait for the Chu army to come from behind and surround them?

"Venerable Poison, Gu Ye feels very sad about the death of Lord Yungu. He didn't expect Gu's fifth brother to be so vicious."

In Qingmu City, in Prince Yu's Mansion, Prince Yu sighed with a sad look on his face.

"The King of Chu dared to poison hundreds of thousands of my soldiers, and I will make him pay for it with blood." Venerable Poison below had an extremely cold face, and his long hair like green fire emitted wisps of green mist.

He has already taken out the ten most poisonous poisons in Yundu Valley, and when Huanqing City is breached, the Chu army will also taste the severe pain.

"Okay, don't worry, Venerable Du will not be too late today."

King Yu looked at Venerable Du's fingers with blackened nails grasping the white tea cup, leaving a few dark fingerprints. A moment of disgust flashed through his lowered eyes.

"Thank you so much, His Highness Prince Yu!"

Venerable Poison looked at King Yu with bright eyes. What he said in the Lianzhou Alliance was true. As long as he defeated King Chu, Yundu Valley would choose him.

"Venerable Poison, we will continue to attack the city tomorrow. Please have a good rest today."

King Yu stood up and showed off his guests.

Venerable Du was stunned for a moment. This... King Yu didn't want to subdue them. Why did he drive him away before he could even sit down and say a few words?

Wei Wen on the side said: "Venerable Poison has just arrived, and there is some misunderstanding between the Lianzhou Alliance and us. If Venerable Poison stays here for a long time, he may be easily misunderstood by the alliance."

Seeing the sincere smiles of Wei Wen and Tang Mu, Venerable Poison secretly made a decision in his heart.

"Okay, I'll take my leave now and come back to visit His Highness Prince Yu later."

"Well, it's easy for Venerable Poison to leave, so I won't send him away."

After seeing Venerable Du leave, King Yu took a deep breath and finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Ask the maid to prepare clean bath water immediately, I want to take a bath!"
