Chapter 35: The Struggle for the Throne
"Death to the Adversary!"
As Zhao Min exclaimed, there were countless shouts in the air, and a large number of figures jumped out from all directions, looking at the flashing of his figure, his strength was not low, that is, he was a congenital master, and there were more than ten of them.
"Martial arts righteousness? Hehe, you famous and decent people have always been pretentious, why are you now in the company of Tartars? Liu Cong said with a smile.
But it can be seen that most of these masters are Han Chinese, and they are all well-known heroes in the rivers and lakes.
"Liu Cong! You investigate the poison and martial arts, cause chaos in the world, everyone will be punished, we and the court join forces, but we regard the big festival and abandon the small righteousness! An old man with white hair and a dignified face shouted.
Liu Cong smiled and said: "The righteous words I said, in the final analysis, are not because I eliminated the martial arts sect and gathered the strength of the Han people?" The Han and Yuan Dynasty contended, and at this time it was the righteousness of all the Han people to resist the Yuan, but you will call dealing with me a great righteousness, and joining forces with the Yuan Court is regarded as a small section. ”
"You, you, hmph, you devil is really clever, but no matter how demagogic you are, don't try to get out of this desperate situation today, you will die here today!"
The old man was pointed out by Liu Cong to reveal the truth, and immediately opened his mouth, and finally simply put away the mask and decided to directly judge the victory by force!
Liu Cong was not angry, for this kind of incorruptible and shameless person, he had already seen through his true appearance, and he didn't even have the value to make him angry, so he directly ignored the old man at this time and looked at Zhao Min.
"Miss Zhao, you and I just had a good conversation, but at this time, you are so vicious, are you really willing to do it?" Liu Cong said with a smile.
Zhao Min smiled, suddenly like a hundred flowers blooming, delicate and incomprehensible, and said: "Respect the heroes of the previous life, the little woman is naturally extremely reluctant, but the situation is forced, the little woman is also helpless, and I hope to respect Haihan, every time I sacrifice in the future, the little woman must worship and burn more paper money!" ”
"Hahaha, good! Miss Zhao has these words, and I didn't come in vain today! In the future, Miss Zhao will be a guest under my command, and I will definitely treat her well. Liu Cong laughed.
Liu Cong's words made everyone stunned, seeing that he was in a desperate situation, this Liu Cong behaved so calmly, especially when he spit out these words, could it be ......
A trace of uneasiness rose in everyone's hearts, but they didn't dare to think about it, and the old man immediately shouted: "The devil is dying, and he is still talking wildly, come on, everyone is shoulder to shoulder, kill the demon together, and eliminate the harm for the martial arts!" ”
"Yes, kill the Adversary!"
"Eliminate harm for martial arts!"
"Avenge the master!"
……
Everyone shouted and stepped forward, but only Zhao Min frowned and stepped back a few times, and the second elder of Xuan Ming, Fan Yao, Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San were by her side, ready for emergencies at any time.
"All the soldiers listen to the order, protect the honorable, kill the thief, shoot!"
At this moment, a cold cry came, and then countless arrows were shot, these arrows were full of power and precision, and none of them were inferior to the arrows shot by the Eight Heroes of the Divine Arrow before.
But these people in the rivers and lakes obviously do not have Liu Cong's strength, and they have no resistance in the face of the rain of arrows, like wheat that has been cut, and they fall to the ground in an instant.
A large number of heavily armored soldiers rushed into the garden, all of them were the peak strength of the day after tomorrow, and the leading tiger was holding a rotten silver gun, which was Chang Yuchun.
"The demon girl dares to murder the Venerable, the sin is unforgivable, death!"
Chang Yuchun glared at Zhao Min with a pair of tiger eyes, shook the rotten silver gun, and stabbed out without hesitation.
At this time, the masters beside Zhao Min, Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San died in the rain of arrows, and the two elders of Xuan Ming were seriously injured because of Fan Yao's temporary backlash.
Fan Yao was originally the right envoy of the Ming Sect, and his status was still above the left envoy Yang Xiao, but Yang Dingtian disappeared for no reason, the Ming Sect was divided, and Fan Yao couldn't bear to see his brothers killing each other, so he left the desert.
Later, he even broke his appearance, blended into the Ruyang Palace, and became the palace guard, Liu Cong knew the plot, and after entering the Ming Sect, he contacted Fan Yao and asked him to lurk in the Ruyang Palace, as an internal response.
This time, Zhao Min set up an ambush in Greenwillow Villa and calculated Liu Cong, it was Fan Yao who reported the news in advance, and Liu Cong planned it, and the anti-guest was the main thing.
Faced with Chang Yuchun's full stabbing shot, Zhao Min didn't even have a guard by his side, and his face suddenly turned pale, his eyes were closed, and he was bound to die this time.
However, Chang Yuchun's gun did not stab Zhao Min after all, because a slow voice stopped him.
"Boren, stop, don't be unreasonable to Miss Zhao." Liu Cong said lightly.
"Yes...... The last will obey. ”
Chang Yuchun's face twitched, but under Liu Cong's burning gaze, he still had to withdraw the spear, and Fan Yao next to him also shook his face, and sighed in his heart, he shouldn't have leaked at this time, Liu Cong was about to wave his army north and fight with Yuan Ting, he had already won the trust of King Ruyang, and continuing to lurk could play a greater role in the future.
The reason why he spared no expense and leaked at this time was to create an opportunity for Chang Yuchun to take the opportunity to kill Zhao Min, but he didn't want to be stopped by Liu Cong in the end and fall short.
Liu Cong snorted lightly, very clear about their thoughts, and the reason why they did what they did was also very clear.
In the end, it's nothing more than a struggle for power.
With the completion of the integration of the forces under Liu Cong, the separation of powers, and the sound system, a national force that truly controls Jiangnan has appeared in the eyes of everyone.
At this time, people of insight in the world understand that there will be no second candidate for the future lord of the world.
While everyone under Liu Cong's command rejoiced, the power struggle that began around Liu Cong also intensified.
And the most prominent struggle is undoubtedly the struggle for the posterior, the struggle for the son.
The successor decides the heir, and the son decides to inherit.
This seems a bit early, after all, Liu Cong has not yet married at this time, and he has not even planted a seed, so how can he talk about the world?
But in fact, for Liu Cong, who has developed his power to such a stage, it is not too early to consider these things at this time, after all, people have no long-term concerns, and there must be near-term worries!
In the eyes of Yang Xiao, Fan Yao and others as the leaders of the Ming Sect, the best candidate for the latter position is undoubtedly Zhou Zhiruo, after all, Zhou Zhiruo is the leader of the Ming Sect, and she holds the divine power and represents the interests of the Ming Sect.
But in the eyes of others, especially Liu Bowen, Xu Da and other non-Mingjiao people, choosing Zhou Zhiruo is definitely not a good match, because the power of Mingjiao occupies too much proportion in the composition of the forces under Liu Cong.
If Zhou Zhiruo is allowed to ascend to the back position, the Mingjiao forces will further rise, and then they, the non-Mingjiao forces, will be even more rejected.
For their own interests, they hope that Liu Cong will choose a woman who is not from Mingjiao, so that a balance can be formed.
For Liu Cong himself, of course, he is more inclined to the opinions of Liu Bowen and others, the art of the emperor is the art of balance, if any party under his command forms a dominant family, it is definitely not a good thing for the emperor, because this often means that it is time to change the dynasty again!
