"Five Heavenly Martial Realm people died, and three of them were Heavenly Martial Realm peak powerhouses, which was enough to make the Ximen family feel distressed for a long time."

After the battle, Chu Qingyan walked out of the carriage.

Chu Junyan stood on the carriage, his spear clenched in his hand, still in his best fighting condition, his eyes scanning the depths of the dark forest.

After a long time, after the battlefield was cleaned up, Chu Junyan said softly:

"Continue to Jiangcheng."

………………

Soon the news that Chu Qingyan was attacked by the mountain bandits came out, and Chu Junyan, who was sitting in Lingyan Mansion, was furious, and immediately ordered the soldiers and horses of all counties and cities to go out of the city to suppress the bandits, and the struggle between Chu Junyan and the Ximen family really began.

And these things have nothing to do with Li Yuan for the time being, in the next period of time, Li Yuan continued to go to the counties, treat the people leniently, reward the soldiers, so that the prestige of the king of Chu was greatly enhanced, and the cohesion of the counties was slowly condensed.

Just two months later, a piece of news caused the Dayu Dynasty to shake.

When Emperor Yu went to the court, he suddenly vomited blood from his mouth and fell into a coma, causing panic among the ministers of the court.

At the same time, another news also shocked the forces, Emperor Yu's last words before he fell into a coma was to let the four kings return to the dynasty!

That's right, King Xuan of Danzhou, King Ming of Yizhou, King Yu of Liangzhou, King of Chu of Lingzhou.

As soon as this news came out, the originally chaotic border states were quiet, and they stopped attacking each other.

All the forces know that Emperor Yu is seriously ill, and for more than a year, Emperor Yu can't hold on.

And now the crown prince has not been elected, and the crown prince has not been decided!

If Emperor Yu died, the royal family would likely be plunged into a civil war.

Thinking of this possibility, many forces have their eyes lit up.

Li Yuan also received instructions from the palace to let him return to Beijing quickly.

Chu Wangfu, a small pavilion in the lake.

Li Yuan frowned, why did his father recruit the four of them into Kyoto at this time?

He didn't have anything in Lingzhou, how long had King Xuan, King Ming, and King Yu been in the states, and they were obviously confronting other forces, recruiting them back at such a critical moment?

Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Yuwen Chengdu, and Zhong Liyi gathered in the small pavilion in the lake.

The entire Lingyang Mansion knew that the King of Chu trusted these four or four people the most.

Today, these four men control the civilian and military powers, respectively.

Xun Yu looked relaxed at the moment, and poured a cup of hot tea for everyone.

"Your Highness, I think this is a good thing, now the Ximen family and Chu Junyan are fighting hotly, under the strong suppression of the Ximen family, Chu Junyan Shengsheng won a county from the mouth of the Ximen family, the Ximen family has already died eight Tianwu Realm powerhouses, half of the Tianwu Realm powerhouses on the bright side have died, and Chu Junyan's side has also died three."

"The Ximen family has invited the forces of the Lieyan Sect and the Zhongyi Hall to enter the Lingyan Mansion and jointly deal with Chu Junyan.

If His Highness were to leave now, the only fear between them would disappear and the battle would become even more fierce.

Although I don't know what the situation is in other states, I can feel that after the four kings return to the dynasty, the power of each state will become clear. ”

Jia Xu took the hot tea handed over by Xun Yu, smiled and nodded at him, and continued:

"Even His Royal Highness feels that His Majesty Emperor Yu's trick is a bit confused, what about the other forces, but now it's just the return of the three kings to the dynasty, the forces under their command are still in the states, they have a lot of talents under their command, and when the three kings leave, the strategists under their command can use the contempt of their opponents to let the forces of the original alliance taste some sweetness, while retreating a few benefits, while designing to create a gap within them."

Jia Xu's eyes narrowed, smiled slightly, and continued:

"Why did they rebel against the Three Kings, it was nothing more than for the sake of profit, who didn't want to be strong and solved the Three Kings, they were opponents!"

"Alliances are the strongest at the beginning, but if they fall into disagreement at the beginning, they are much easier to deal with later."

"If the Three Kings are here, this strategy will not succeed, but if the Three Kings are gone, and it is likely to fall into the crown prince storm, this strategy will become easy."

Li Yuan nodded, the matter could only be like this, and then ordered:

"Wen Ruo, you and Zhong Liyi are guarding Lingyang Mansion, and Wen He and Chengdu are going back to Beijing with this king."

"Whoa!"

All four answered at the same time.

Lingyang Mansion has Xun Yu, Wu has Zhong Liyi to guard, Li Yuan is very relieved.

After the four of them left, Zhao Gao's dark red figure slowly appeared.

"Zhao Gao, how is the situation of this king asking you to probe the Lingyuan Mansion adjacent to Lingyang Mansion?"

Zhao tilted his head high, unable to see his expression clearly, but could hear his excitement in his voice.

"Your Highness, the net has successfully infiltrated Lingyuan Mansion, but now it can play a very small role, and it only takes a little more time to find out the distribution of the situation in each county."

"Okay, this king hopes to see a chaotic Lingyuan Mansion when he comes back."

"Wechen understands!" Zhao Gao's eyes flickered, and he understood what Li Yuan meant.

Let the various forces in Lingyuan Mansion and the three major forces resented each other, and take the opportunity to win over a group of forces to prepare for the next attack on Lingyuan Mansion.

Framed, assassinated, hatted...... Stimulate the hatred of the forces on both sides, this set of processes, he Zhao Gao is too familiar!

The next day, when the news of Li Yuan's departure from Lingyang Mansion came out, it really attracted the attention of various forces in Lingzhou.

Lingyan Mansion in the west of Lingzhou, Jiangyan County has been controlled by Chu Junyan, and Fengyan County Fengyu City, which is adjacent to Jiangyan County, is in the City Lord's Mansion.

Wu Yong sat high on the main seat with a gentle smile, and the city lord of Fengyu City on the side shrank in his chair, looking at Wu Yong above in horror.

"City Lord Zhang, you don't want Fengyan County Guard to know that your son accidentally killed his son."

City Lord Zhang's round head immediately shook his head.

Fengyan County Shou Ximen Linhui is a member of the Ximen family, if he knows, their family will be finished.

On the side, Zhang Shan, the son of the city lord of Zhang, knelt in the middle of the hall and cried:

"Father, Ximen Shenyuan is going to kill me for an Oiran, if it weren't for Lord Wu Yong's action last night, I would have died at the hands of Ximen Shenyuan, I didn't want to kill him, but last night I was empty-headed, and I plunged the dagger into his chest in anger."

Ximen Shenyuan is the son of Ximen Linhui.

In the face of Zhang Shan's crying, City Lord Zhang didn't have time to think about why Ximen Shenyuan would kill Zhang Shan, the water in it was too deep, and they just wanted to live.

Ximen Linhui sent Ximen Shenyuan to Fengyu City because he was afraid that City Lord Zhang would take refuge in Chu Junyan.

But now don't be afraid.

Chu Junyan has voted for him, and no one can stop him!

"Mr. Wu, what should we do now?"

City Lord Zhang looked at Wu Yong very quickly.

"City Lord Zhang, you have made a very smart choice, if you choose to join us alone, it will only cause deeper hostility from the Ximen family, if you can let a few more city lords join us, it would be better to share some eyes for you."

City Lord Zhang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Wu, I know that there are two city lords who can be wooed!" ”

Wu used his eyes to flash and smiled more gently:

"Then we'll earn them!"
