"Where to run!"

Jiang Lao, who came from the Chu Palace, has arrived, and a killing aura swept away in an instant!

The true yuan in Jiang Lao's palm gathered, and the void transformed into a giant palm and fiercely suppressed the cold and arrogant sword that fled in the distance!

Feeling the threat behind him, Leng Aojian's face was indifferent, the speed of escape did not change at all, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed again!

Blinding sword light flashes!

A ten-meter sword slashed!

The terrifying giant palm condensed by the True Yuan was instantly split and split into two!

Bang!

The giant palm explodes, and the situation changes!

Leng Aojian had already escaped from Ling Rong's capital city.

"Jiang Lao, don't chase after him, be careful to turn the tiger away from the mountain!"

Xun Yu saw that Jiang Lao crossed the sky above the mansion and continued to pursue, and hurriedly shouted.

Jiang Lao's figure suddenly stopped, turned and flew back to the mansion, and came to Xun Yu and Nangong Xiyue.

Xun Yu looked at An Sheng with gratitude, and arched his hand:

"Thank you Master An for saving your life!"

"You're welcome, it's a gesture, and even if I don't make a move, he won't be able to kill you."

An Sheng's eyelids raised, looking at Xun Yu's figure, there was a touch of attention in his eyes, when he appeared in front of Xun Yu to block the assassin's sword, he sensed a powerful force behind him, but it disappeared in an instant.

"Who is that assassin just now, the sword is very strong, extraordinary, not an ordinary person!"

Jiang Lao fell to the ground, looking around, and the sword marks around him still emitted a faint sword aura.

An Sheng recalled the young face of the assassin just now, frowning slightly, not impressed.

"Huanzhou Leng Proud Sword!" A clear voice rang out.

Everyone looked at Nangong Xiyue, who made a sound.

Nangong Xiyue thought of the cold arrogant sword that did not hide her face, and her eyes showed coldness.

It's so arrogant!

"Leng Ao Sword?"

Xun Yu silently read the name, glanced at Nangong Xiyue, and motioned for her to continue.

Nangong Xiyue bowed slightly, and said with a solemn face:

"When Xu Fengwu came, His Royal Highness sent me to investigate all kinds of situations in Huanzhou, this Leng Ao Sword is a top Tianjiao in Huanzhou, eight years ago, he used the peak cultivation of the grandmaster as a sword to reverse the early stage of the Heavenly Martial Realm, shocking the world, and then I don't know what the reason is, I took refuge in the Zhou family."

"Zhou family!"

"How dare they be so arrogant?" Jiang Lao was angry, he really didn't expect someone to be so blatant!

"It seems that they want to delay the time for His Highness to rule Lingzhou."

Xun Yu's eyes also showed a touch of coldness.

Nangong Xiyue suddenly thought of something, and showed a anxious look:

"It's not good, Leng Aojian couldn't assassinate Lord Xun, now that he is let go, will he take action against other officials?"

Lingyuan Mansion is now Mo Ziyan, and Lingyang Mansion is Zhou Xuan.

However, there are no Tianwu Realm powerhouses in these two prefectures, and the Tianwu Realm powerhouses in the Chu Wangfu have all been sent to the four prefectures and twenty-nine counties with the army to suppress them.

Once the main officials of these two provinces are killed, it will have a great impact on the army that is suppressing the four provinces in the front.

An Sheng frowned, looked at Xun Yu who was pondering, and said:

"I'm going to hunt down Leng Aojian, although I'm not sure to kill him, but I can contain him."

Jiang Lao's expression moved slightly, he also wanted to pursue Leng Aojian, but he now needed to sit in the Chu Palace's mansion to protect Xun Yu, otherwise if there was another one, Xun Yu would be in danger.

The eyes of Nangong Xiyue and the others looked at Xun Yu, waiting for his decision.

Xun Yu's eyes turned to the officials who were cleaning up the ruins of the palace, his eyes were indifferent, and he said:

"Don't worry, report to Your Highness first, and wait for Your Highness's decision."

…………

At this time, in the Linghong Metropolitan Mansion, some of the leaders of the various counties in the Linghong Mansion stood below trembling, cautiously looking at Li Yuan who stepped into the hall.

The leaders of these forces had long known about Li Yuan's arrival, and they had already rushed to Linghong Capital City a few days ago, just to give Li Yuan a good impression, but they didn't expect Wu Yao to die suddenly, it was simply a disaster, and they were summoned by Li Yuan one by one.

With the growth of cultivation, the majesty on Li Yuan's body became stronger and stronger, and a faint royal aura loomed.

"Meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"Okay, let's all be excused, everyone sit down, today the king is just here to recognize you."

Li Yuan's eyes swept casually, with a slight smile, and sat on the main seat.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Everyone didn't know what Li Yuan's mood was now, so they could only follow Li Yuan's words and carefully stick their buttocks to the seat.

Li Yuan's face was soft, and he said in a gentle tone:

"You have a heart, and you are waiting for this king in Linghong Capital City in advance."

When everyone saw Li Yuan's soft appearance, their hearts relaxed, so they praised one by one:

"We are loyal to Your Highness!"

"To be able to meet His Highness in person, it's a hard life!"

"That's right, His Royal Highness is crowned like jade, and his style is infinite, and it is really an honor for me to meet His Highness."

Seeing everyone's praise, Li Yuan smiled more and more, and beckoned the maid to come forward and pour tea.

Seeing Li Yuan's more and more kind face, holding a warm teacup, they moistened their throats, and there were even more words of praise.

For a while, the lobby was full of joy.

Just when the body and mind of the people are completely laid down,

In vain!

Li Yuan slapped the table suddenly, and his face instantly became extremely cold.

"Bang!"

Everyone trembled in their hearts, subconsciously reacted and stood up, looking at Li Yuan in a panic, he was fine just now, and he didn't know why Li Yuan suddenly became angry.

"This king went to Linghong Mansion today, and he was in a good mood, but he suddenly learned that Wu Yao, the king's confidant, had died, and now the entire Zhongyi Hall is cooperating with this king's investigation one by one, and they say that among you, some of you have a bad relationship with Wu Yao, and they are suspected of murderers!"

Li Yuan's voice became lower and lower, but the atmosphere in the lobby became more and more depressing.

Li Yuan's sharp eyes scanned everyone's expressions one by one.

When the people below felt Li Yuan's gaze fall on them, their bodies trembled slightly, and they were now all stunned, who would have thought that His Royal Highness the King of Chu would be so moody, and he knelt down one by one and said:

"Your Highness has clearly investigated, we are all innocent!"

They can't be nervous, the army of the King of Chu is here, and these are originally the territory of Zhongyitang, and the officials in the counties have a little relationship with Zhongyitang.

As the only two remaining banner masters of Zhongyi Hall, Wu Qi Lord was killed, and the people of Zhongyi Hall were also angry, plus the King of Chu, who now seemed to be moody.

Now the king of Chu can wipe out all the forces with a single word.

"I know that some of you are innocent, but Lord Chen Qi and Master Zhang of Zhongyi Hall are all under investigation by this king in order to prove their innocence, what about you?"

Li Yuan looked at the leader of the force who was kneeling down, and his voice was neither low nor heavy.

Everyone's hearts froze, and several family heads instantly cleared their minds and knew what Li Yuan was going to do.

While the other leaders were still hesitating, these people suddenly shouted:

"Your Highness, we are all innocent, and I am willing to accept the investigation!"

"I'm willing to be investigated!"

The lobby was full of kneeling and shouting.

Seeing the scene below, Li Yuan showed a bright smile, and his tone changed back to soft:

"It can be seen that you are loyal to this king, and this king believes that you are innocent."

None of the people below dared to move, trembling and kneeling, they didn't quite believe the kind smile of King Chu now.

"Well, let's interrogate them at will, and you go down with them first."

A stalwart guard walked in.

Soon, these people were taken away by Li Yuan's guards under the pretext of being investigated voluntarily.

After the lobby was quiet, Jia Xu slowly walked out of the back hall.

"Wenhe, Linghong Mansion will call you next."

Jia Xu bowed his hand to Li Yuan slightly, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, for intimidating them." ”

Li Yuan waved his hand, with his own shock in front of him, these people in Linghong Mansion would not want to face him, and Jia Xu would go around twice in front of them later, and when he appointed Jia Xu as the prefect of Linghong Mansion, he would not resist, and he would be very cooperative.

I won't stay in Linghong Mansion for a long time, and there are still three mansions that need to walk around by myself.

"Your Highness, rest assured, if the ministers appease these people, they will take the initiative to bring our people into the counties, so that they can control the counties faster."

Jia Xu stroked the fan and smiled lightly.

These are one of the forces in each county, and they were suddenly investigated and interrogated by the King of Chu for a few days because of Wu Yao's affairs, and their hearts must be unbalanced.

What would Jia Xu think when he wanted to use them to continue "investigating" the forces in the counties?

I've been surveyed myself, so why don't you accept it?

They will actively cooperate with Jia Xu to investigate the forces in each county.

The forces of the various counties were inexplicably forced to investigate, and they must be angry in their hearts, but in the face of the strong strength of the Chu Palace, they will turn their anger to the forces that took the initiative to seduce Jia Xu to come to "investigate".

Then these hated forces naturally became the faction of the King of Chu, and naturally supported Jia Xu.

With this grasp, Linghong Mansion, which was once the base camp of Zhongyi Hall, was soon under Jia Xu's control.

Li Yuan was naturally relieved of Jia Xu, and casually mentioned:

"Zhongyi Hall these people, what are you going to do with Wen He?"

"Your Highness, please rest assured, they have played a great role, they have been powerful and blessed in Linghong Mansion for so many years, the people are complaining, there must be forces that hate them to the core, wait for the time to be ripe, they are the key to our people's aspirations!"

Jia Xu's smiling eyes showed a cold glow.

"That's good!"

Li Yuan nodded slightly, as the saying goes, it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to defend the world.

In this high-martial world, the right time and place may not be very important, but the people's will must be mastered.

Now the dynasty is chaotic, the front is in a big war, and it is not good to stir up a fire in the rear, especially now that stability is the mainstay, when their own people really control the county government, at least half of the people will recognize the Chu Wangfu, and the roulette wheel in their minds will be recognized, and the task can be completed.

At this moment, Zhao Gao's figure appeared in the lobby and reported to Li Yuanyu:

"Your Highness, Lord Xun was assassinated just now, and the assassin is the Zhou family's Leng Proud Sword!"

Li Yuan opened his eyes suddenly, and a killing intent overflowed.

"How is Wen Ruo now?"

"Lord Xun is safe and sound, and An Sheng, who was recruited by Miss Nangong, blocked Leng Aojian."

"Lord Xun is asking His Highness, how should we deal with it, Leng Aojian's bold behavior shows that the Zhou family is unscrupulous, and they are likely to take action against the main officials of other prefectures, create chaos, and delay our time in controlling Lingzhou."

Zhao Gao respectfully reported.

Jia Xu nodded, and there was a hint of solemnity on his face: "Your Highness, the big forces nearby all understand that our main goal now is to unify Lingzhou, if we are really successfully assassinated by Leng Aojian, they will think that the Chu Wangfu is weak, and in order to delay our rule over Lingzhou, it is very likely that assassins will also be sent into Lingzhou to kill officials indiscriminately!" ”

"Zhou Yan!" Li Yuan silently recited this name, his eyes swelled with murderous intent, recalling what Xu Fengwu said sinister and vicious, he already had a preliminary impression of Zhou Yan.

If Xun Yu is really assassinated by Leng Aojian, not to mention the loss of a great talent, it will also wake up those forces who do not want to see themselves unify Lingzhou, since they can't be separated from the extra forces to invade Lingzhou, then assassination methods can be used!

At this moment, Li Yuan's heart was infinitely murderous, and he remembered what the great man said in his previous life:

"Fight with one punch, lest a hundred punches come!"

In the face of such an assassination, his own means must be fast and ruthless, deterring all forces, so that they will not dare to come!

"Your Highness, do you need to make a move!" Zhao Gao raised his head, his face full of murderous intent

Li Yuan's eyes flashed with cold color, and he slowly shook his head and said:

"There is no need to make a move, the people of the net continue to occupy the four mansions, as for Leng Aojian and the Zhou family, this king has a very suitable candidate............"

Some time ago, once every three months, Li Yuan had already used it, and originally planned to let her stay in the palace and cultivate with peace of mind, but now, it was time for her to be born!

………………

When night fell, Ling Rong Mansion, a small town a hundred miles east of Ling Rong Mansion, a simple and honest middle-aged man walked in a remote alley, looking back from time to time, he walked to a dilapidated courtyard and gently knocked on an old door!

"Heavenly King Covers the Tiger!" There was a code from behind the old door.

This honest and honest middle-aged man looked around and whispered, "I'm two hundred and five!" ”

Immediately, click! The door opened!

Behind the door, a thin man stretched out his head, looked around through the half-hidden door, and saw that there was a middle-aged man around, and immediately beckoned him in.

Behind the old gate is a large compound, and the shadow of the moon is slowly reflected in a large water tank next to the compound.

Under the willow tree in the courtyard, Leng Aojian stood quietly with a sword in both hands, and when he saw the thin man walking over with a middle-aged man, his eyes stayed on the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man clenched his fists and said, "Lord Leng! ”

Leng Aojian's eyes were very indifferent, and he nodded lightly.

The middle-aged man knew Leng Aojian's personality, so he continued to speak:

"Lord Leng, today you went to the mansion to assassinate Xun Yu, and the entire capital city was shaken, but because you fought with another person for too long, when you left, your appearance was also seen by many people outside the mansion."

"Well, has the guy I fought with investigated clearly?"

Leng Aojian glanced at the middle-aged man coldly, and his gaze turned to the reflection in the water tank.

In his opinion, his assassination should be flawless, who would have thought that a strong man with a knife suddenly appeared next to Xun Yu, causing his assassination to fail.

As for the appearance being seen by others,

Leng Aojian frowned slightly, this is a trouble, when he went to assassinate Xun Yu, he didn't hide his appearance, because in his opinion, as long as he killed all the people in the mansion, his appearance would not be exposed.

"The investigation is clear, the Tianwu Realm powerhouse who used the knife seems to be called Master An, and he was found by Nangong Xiyue, the leader of the intelligence organization of the Chu Palace, among the people, and he happened to be taken to see Xun Yu today."

The middle-aged man unconsciously glanced at Leng Aojian, he was too unlucky, but he ran into it during the assassination.

"And the young master now knows what is going on here."

Leng Aojian's heart tightened, the sword held in his chest loosened, and he asked in a faint tone:

"What did he say?"

"The young master said, since Lord Leng failed to assassinate Xun Yu, don't assassinate Xun Yu next, go to Lingyang Mansion and Lingyuan Mansion to assassinate ten county guards to offset this mistake."

"Ten?"

Leng Aojian's expression moved slightly, not too much, but too little.

After all, he was exposed, and it was easy for the people of the Chu Wangfu to find out about the Zhou family based on their appearance, and the Zhou family simply let themselves go?

The young master is not angry?

The middle-aged man seemed to know that Leng Aojian would think so, so he continued:

"The young master said, it was he who sent Lord Leng to come, if it is exposed, the main responsibility is him, in the Zhou family, he will help Lord Leng block the punishment, and let Lord Leng kill ten county guards to make meritorious contributions."

Leng Aojian's heart suddenly gave birth to a warm current, and he clenched the long sword in his hand.

"Okay, you tell the young master that the proud sword will not let him down!"

"Yes!"

Boom! Boom!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The thin man and the middle-aged man frowned, looked at each other, and shook their heads.

The two glanced at Leng Aojian again, and saw that Leng Aojian also showed a trace of doubt, so the two figures slowly walked towards the courtyard gate, their eyes were firmly fixed on the door, and the thin man asked softly:

"Heavenly King Cover the Tiger?"
