Zhongzhou, on the official road outside Jinglan City, when the sharp blade stood on top of Li Yuan's head, everything was still.

Within a radius of 100 zhang, there were cyan ripples, and Ah Qing had already appeared beside Li Yuan with the green jade divine sword in his hand, and a flash of anger flashed in the eyes of the assassin above his head.

Under the confinement of the Azure Jade Divine Sword Realm, the black mist that entangled the assassin had dissipated, and his body was thin, revealing an ordinary face, and his pupils exuded a look of horror.

The power of the realm!

This is the field!

He's all imprisoned!

This person is the Shadow Knife of the Zhenguo Mansion!

A well-known assassin under the command of Chu Junxiong, he came to assassinate Li Yuan, the king of Chu, on the orders of Chu Junxiong.

"Look for death!"

Yuwen Chengdu was full of anger, and there were assassins assassinating His Highness in front of him, which was simply an insult to him!

The furious Yuwen Chengdu, with all his hair flying backwards, his arms bulging with green tendons, and he exploded directly and slammed into the assassin!

Rumble!

The powerful force distorted the space, and the nearby void was torn apart by the fist shadow, and the great pressure swept in all directions, and the assassin shadow knife directly exploded into a blood mist!

Alas!

Looking at the assassin who was bombarded in the sky, Li Yuan sighed and did not stop it.

What's going on, how can I always be assassinated, and I haven't done anything hurtful.

The blood mist scattered on the faces of the powerful people of Jinglan City who fell to their knees, and their hearts were far more frightened than their faces, and their faces were extremely pale.

Before Li Yuan could speak, the people below had already knelt down in large numbers.

How could there be assassins among them!

Originally, they welcomed the King of Chu well and made a good impression on His Royal Highness the King of Chu, but now it's okay!

There were assassins hiding beside them to kill the king of Chu.

It's all over!

His Royal Highness the King of Chu won't think they are accomplices!

Even if they weren't accomplices, this sin of anger was already unbearable for their family.

Jinglan City is close to Kyoto, it is a prosperous city, and the strongest of the top families in the city here is only the Tianwu Realm, even if there is a family that is particularly hidden, there is a venerable person in the family as the last hole card, but for the king of Chu, just blow a breath can destroy their family.

His Holiness is a fart!

They had just felt the terrifying aura of the Peak Venerable at the moment of the assassin's attack.

But in front of the King of Chu, it was so simply gone.

There are also officials in Jinglan City, and their hearts are cool at the moment.

Especially the Jinglan City Lord.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the minister really doesn't know where the assassin came from, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will check clearly!"

The Jinglan City Lord fell to the ground on all fours, trembling all over his body, only to feel that his eyes were black, and his eyes were dim, fortunately, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was fine.

"Your Highness, we are loyal to you, and it is impossible for us to want to murder Your Highness, Your Highness will investigate clearly!"

In the city, the top bigwigs knelt on the ground, and said with panic on their faces.

The others were so nervous that they couldn't speak, and they fell to their knees tremblingly, and even more collapsed to the ground, their faces like ashes.

Li Yuan looked at the panicked people below, a flash of light flashed under his deep eyes, revealing a friendly face and said, and said in a gentle tone:

"Lone knows that this assassin has nothing to do with you, but he almost caused you to be affected, so please get up."

The city lord of Jinglan and the officials saw that His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not scold them harshly, but also comforted them with understanding.

The officials looked up blankly at Li Yuan, who did not blame them, with a gentle smile, their eyes were stunned, and a warm current was born in their hearts, they were extremely moved, and they suddenly had a feeling of dying for their confidants, and their reverence for Li Yuan reached an indescribable height at this moment.

"The dereliction of duty of the ministers deserves death!"

The same is true of the forces that knelt down in the rear, their faces full of emotion and admiration.

I have heard that the king of Chu is discerning, and his benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled.

When I saw it today, it was true!

No wonder so many heroes have taken refuge under His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

In this Yu Dynasty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is none other than him!

In just a few minutes, everyone's hearts changed their views on Li Yuan.

Originally, they were just the general trend, but now if Li Yuan wanted to recruit them into the army, they didn't say a word, they were afraid that they would directly agree.

"Alas, if only the officials of the Kyoto court were so loyal to Lone!"

Li Yuan suddenly sighed when he saw that the officials looked loyal and sworn to follow, but his eyes began to become extremely sharp, and his tone was cold, as if he was talking to himself:

"It seems that Lone is going to enter Beijing as soon as possible!"

Hearing Li Yuan suddenly say two irrelevant words, the eyes of the Jinglan City Lord and several important officials shrank, as if they understood something, and their bodies trembled.

Li Yuan swept the piece below and continued to kneel, and said in a softer tone:

"Wait for your mind, Lone already knows, time is pressing, Lone will not enter the city today, next time I will enter Jinglan City to visit you."

The eyes of the various forces in Jinglan City below suddenly widened, and they were at a loss for a moment when they saw that Li Yuan was about to leave.

What does His Royal Highness the King of Chu mean by this, aren't you angry, why don't you enter the city again?

Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was already angry in his heart, forgave himself on the surface, and then settled the account after returning to Beijing?

The lords of the various forces looked nervously at the Jinglan City Lord.

But the Jinglan City Lord said with a firm face:

"Your Highness, the whole of Jinglan City swears to be loyal to Your Highness, and there is no second heart, and I look forward to Your Highness's arrival again!"

"Good."

Li Yuan showed an appreciative look at the Jinglan City Lord, so he acted very decisively, stopped speaking, and directly ordered the army to march.

Thundered!

The various forces in Jinglan City stood respectfully on both sides, quietly watching the majestic and long army pass by them, sensing the powerful momentum in the army, which made them even more awe of Li Yuan in their hearts, and lowered their heads one by one.

These big people in the eyes of ordinary people in Jinglan City didn't even dare to move in front of the Chu army, and respectfully waited for the army to leave.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the figure at the end of the army slowly disappeared from their sight.

"Lord Lancheng, why did His Royal Highness the King of Chu leave so quickly, is His Royal Highness the King of Chu already angry, will we be settled by the Queen of the Autumn."

When the army walked away, the heads of big families in Jinglan City came over and hurriedly asked.

"Probably not, everyone knows that it is impossible for us to send assassins to assassinate the King of Chu."

"yes, we don't know where this damn assassin came from."

"Alas, this damn assassin has killed us!"

"This damn assassin, if you let the old man know who sent it, you won't be able to solve your hatred with a thousand cuts!"

The lord of power gritted his teeth.

The Jinglan City Lord looked at the fear and worry in everyone's eyes, but there was no previous panic on his face, and he slowly shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, His Highness has said just now, he didn't blame us, and the city lord believes in His Highness's magnanimity."

Things have already happened, and it is useless to do anything, their life and death are all in the thoughts of the king of Chu, and it is useless to worry, it is better to wait for the order of the king of Chu honestly.

"But, why did His Royal Highness the King of Chu go so fast?"

One of the heads of the family worried,

Everyone nodded in unison, looking at the Jinglan City Lord, this was what they were most worried about.

If the king of Chu returned to the city with them, they would definitely meet and do everything they could to make up for the mistake just now, but before they could honor the king of Chu, the king of Chu had already left, and they were uneasy.

An official next to the Jinglan City Lord flashed with a gleam in his eyes, and said meaningfully: "His Royal Highness was suddenly assassinated, he naturally wants to find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible!" ”

Everyone's expressions were stunned, and a family head reacted quickly and said in shock:

"Lord Hayashi, do you mean that the man behind the assassin is in Kyoto?"

The faces of everyone were very shocked, who in Kyoto dared to assassinate the King of Chu so boldly at this time.

At this time, the Jinglan City Lord coughed lightly, frowned, and said, "This City Lord heard about something, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"I don't know if I should say it or not!"

The eyes of the Lord of the Forces moved, his eyes were firmly fixed on the Jinglan City Lord, and he hurriedly asked:

"City Lord, tell me quickly, what's the matter?"

"Yes, City Lord, now that we are an assassin in Jinglan City, we must know what the situation is."

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu was attacked by us, even if His Royal Highness doesn't blame us, we must prove our innocence, otherwise others will scold us to death for whatever reason."

"City Lord, say it quickly, we promise not to spread it."

Seeing the lords of power patting their chests with expressions that would never be passed on, the Jinglan City Lord also felt that they wanted to prove their innocence, so their faces became solemn, they bent down slightly, and lowered their voices.

The crowd hurriedly gathered around and leaned over to listen.

"The lord of this city heard that since the king of Chu stepped into Zhongzhou, the six important ministers in the court, led by the prime minister, want to do everything possible to prevent the king of Chu from entering Beijing!

Many obstacles were set up on the way, but they were resolved one by one by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and now His Royal Highness the King of Chu is only a day and one night away from Kyoto at most! ”

A head of the family suddenly flashed in his mind and blurted out:

"City Lord, you mean to say that it was the Prime Minister who sent someone to assassinate His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"Shut up, be careful!" The city lord of Jinglan immediately reprimanded: "Everything is just speculation now, after the king of Chu catches the mastermind behind the scenes, everything will be revealed, don't talk nonsense, and easily suspect the prime minister!" ”

Everyone opened their mouths slightly, no wonder King Chu didn't say anything, and left directly, it turned out that His Royal Highness already knew who the murderer was.

Seeing everyone's expressions, the Jinglan City Lord seemed to be still uneasy, and continued to remind:

"Remember, we must not spread the news randomly, and after His Highness catches the murderer, we will be able to prove the innocence of our Jinglan City."

"Don't worry, city lord, we will never spread the word!"

One by one, the head of the family patted his chest and said righteously, their eyes were extremely bright.

……………………

"This person should be the famous Shadow Knife under the command of the Zhenguo Mansion."

The luxurious carriage slowly drove to Kyoto, and Liu Jin in the car analyzed the assassin who had just been blown up by Yuwen Chengdu according to intelligence.

"The Shadow Knife is indeed a very strong assassin!"

Li Yuan held a cup of warm tea in his hand and said calmly.

If it weren't for the Shadowstone's action, they wouldn't have noticed anything unusual.

Li Si said with a solemn face: "It seems that Chu Junxiong is very sure to defeat King Xuan. ”

Fan Zhongyan on the side nodded and analyzed: "Indeed, Chu Junxiong feels confident that he can defeat King Xuan, and send an assassin to assassinate His Highness, if it succeeds, the entire Dayu Dynasty will instantly become chaotic, and even the forces that have been pacified in the states are ready to move again, and the Dayu Dynasty at that time will be more chaotic than the first troubled times." ”

"It's a pity that he picked the wrong opponent." Wei Zheng straightened his waist and snorted coldly: "In this way, our guess was correct at the beginning, Chu Junxiong's support is not only the Fengyu Dynasty, but also the Xuanwu Dynasty. ”

Li Yuan's face also flashed a trace of coldness: "No matter how many reinforcements Chu Junxiong has, the two ancestors of the dynasty have passed, and he will definitely be defeated!" ”

A smile appeared on Li Si's face: "If each of the two great dynasties loses one Emperor Realm in this battle, it will be a pleasant thing. ”

Li Yuan's tone did not fluctuate at all: "Not only do they want to lose the Imperial Realm, but after they unify the Dayu Dynasty, they will also destroy their two major dynasties." ”

Li Si's face was also very calm, after unifying the Dayu Dynasty, the next step must be to deal with the two major dynasties and dominate the world.

From Ah Qing's mouth, I learned that in addition to this world, there are many vast and boundless worlds.

"Didn't I kill too fast!"

Yuwen Chengdu on the side was annoyed and said that he should have left the Shadow Knife alive, and the Shadow Knife, as the ambitious henchman of the Chu Army, must know a lot of secrets.

He was so angry at the time.

"It's okay, it's okay to kill it, the situation in the southwest has been decided, and the entire dynasty is no longer in danger to us." Li Yuan saw Yuwen Chengdu's somewhat guilty eyes, smiled and comforted.

"What's more, Chu Junxiong also handed us a knife."

Li Yuan took a sip of tea, and said with an expression of Zhizhu in his hand: "Now Jinglan City should also spread some information about assassins." ”

"I just don't know if Lin Xiang knows each other!"

Li Yuan's eyes showed a cold glow, he already knew how he actively bewitched the seventh and eighth brothers the moment he stepped into Zhongzhou.

Fortunately, his hard work was not in vain, he already knew about the affairs of Kyoto, if it wasn't for the seventh brother Li Ce who persuaded Dazu to come out to find himself, I am afraid that things will not go as smoothly as they are now.

Li Yuan looked through the fluttering curtain and looked at the three big carriages in the distance filled with gift boxes.

These are gifts he has prepared for his younger siblings.

………………………………

"Seventh brother, why do you lie to us, we will treat you well!"

In the palace, Empress Lin and Concubine Lu looked at Li Ce and Li Hui with angry faces, they were extremely tired in their hearts, since five days ago, when Chief Manager Li returned to Beijing and suddenly announced that the King of Chu had entered the imperial court, and all the royal families would obey the orders of the King of Chu, they were stunned.

They worked hard to help Li Ce conceal Lin Xiang and Lu Shangshu, but what they were waiting for was such a result.

"Two imperial sisters-in-law, we don't know why the Great Ancestor directly chose the King of Chu, what should we do!"

Li Ce faced the scolding of Empress Lin and Concubine Lu, and said with a panicked face.

Li Hui on the side was also extremely worried: "Yes, two imperial sisters-in-law, we also helped you deal with the King of Chu before, and the King of Chu won't blame us when he comes back!" ”

"Two imperial sisters-in-law, the King of Chu is about to enter Beijing, Lin Xiang, they must have some way to prevent the King of Chu from entering Beijing!" Li Ce looked at Empress Lin and Concubine Lu expectantly. (End of chapter)
