Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

The competition at Yujing Academy is over, but it has nothing to do with Li Yuan.

Li Yuan stayed quietly in the palace, waiting for Li Jing's arrival.

In five days, the news that Li Yuan was crowned king had spread throughout the Yu Dynasty. The ambitious forces who learned about Emperor Yu's ideas slowly raised their heads and began to show their fangs and look fiercely.

Emperor Yu wanted an opportunity, so weren't they waiting for such an opportunity?

The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind. It’s unclear who the oriole is.

On the third day, the sun rose in the morning, and the warm morning light shone on the gate of Kyoto.

The city gates of Kyoto were wide open, and passers-by stood on both sides to watch. Three hundred majestic cavalry on the avenue supported a distinguished carriage and slowly walked out of the city.

Li Yuan opened the curtain and looked at this huge city, the center of power of the Yu Dynasty. He felt a little sad for a moment. After all, he had been here for more than a year.

Li Yuan understands that in the long life, there are many unexpected things, and many times they are just disasters. You can only keep your head down and fight, and you can only keep moving forward.

Compared to Li Yuan's sadness, Chu Qingyan opposite him was much more cheerful, looking at the city gate that was gradually going away, humming an unknown song with her small mouth.

I finally got out of the prison of more than ten years and entered the magnificent world.

After the team all disappeared behind the gates of Kyoto City, many people among the people watching around quickly returned to the city secretly. For a while, the news that Li Yuan had left for the Lingyang Mansion fiefdom quickly spread from every corner of Kyoto City. go out.

The space inside the car was very large, and more than a dozen people could sit there without feeling crowded. Only Li Yuan and Chu Qingyan were in the car, and the rest of the entourage were walking together with three hundred cavalry.

Three hundred cavalrymen were running fast on the road. The horses under their crotches could travel thousands of miles in a day. The four horses pulling the carriage were not ordinary creatures. They easily followed the pace of the cavalrymen. There seemed to be no sense of subversion in the carriage.

Chu Junyan had left Kyoto yesterday.

Li Yuan glanced at Chu Qingyan who was smiling and said nothing, and quietly closed his eyes.

In the past few days, he has learned about the forces in Lingzhou.

Lingzhou has a total of nine prefectures and fifty-four counties, covering nearly four million square kilometers. It was the most chaotic state in the Yu Dynasty, and the various forces in it were complicated.

Among them, there are three top forces covering Lingzhou. They control 70% of the interests of all walks of life in Lingzhou, and the other 30%. The small and medium-sized forces have to look at the three top forces to act.

The three major forces are the Ximen Family, Lieyan Sect, and Zhongyi Hall.

Aristocratic families, sects, and gangs each have their own areas of responsibility, which leads to their harmonious relationship and joint control of Lingzhou. Top powers in other states who want to intervene will be attacked by them.

While Li Yuan was thinking about the three major forces in Lingzhou, the three major forces had already learned the news that Li Yuan had left Beijing through the notes sent by spies in Kyoto.

Jianghe Mansion in Lingzhou is the seat of the Ximen family. Both the Ximen family members and the servants below are all aloof. Every time they go out for shopping, the people and passers-by look at them with admiration and fear. A Xiantian realm master respectfully stepped aside when he saw even an ordinary servant of the Ximen family.

In the Ximen Family Mansion, the head of the Ximen Family, Ximen Lintian, was sitting in a pavilion in a lake with green water, watching the message that had just been sent.

A well-dressed young man sat next to him, drinking tea smoothly, respectfully handed the fragrant tea cup in front of Ximen Lintian, and waited quietly for Ximen Lintian to read the news.

This person's name is Ximen Aolong, the eldest son of Ximen Lintian, and the young master of the Ximen family.

Seeing Ximen Lintian close the creed and frowning slightly, Ximen Aolong showed a faint smile on his handsome face and asked softly:

"Father, has King Chu left Beijing?"

Ximen Lintian picked up the tea cup in front of him, raised it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, showing a satisfied look:

"Aolong, my tea skills have been getting better recently."

Looking at the gentle eldest son, his eyes were even more satisfied, and he handed the message note from Li Yuan and his party to Ximen Aolong.

"Yes, King Chu has left Beijing. According to their driving speed, they will arrive at Lingyang Mansion in a month."

Ximen Aolong took the note, lowered his head and looked at it carefully, reading every line carefully. After reading the question, the first sentence he asked was:

"Father, will Chu Junyan hide in the Chu King's team and escort Chu Qingyan all the way to Lingyang Mansion?"

When Ximen Lintian heard this, he paused in his movements, shook his head and said:

"No! According to the news, Chu Junyan left Kyoto yesterday and rushed back to Zhaozhou overnight. She should be busy now on how to transfer herself to Lingzhou."

"Transferred to Lingzhou?" Ximen Aolong's gentle eyes flashed.

"That's right, don't think that Chu Junyan has been staying at Yujing College except for her appearance in the morning. In secret, she has already met with the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government who are close to the Zhenguo Mansion, and worked with them to make arrangements in advance to enter the Ling Dynasty. State Preparation.”

"Will Emperor Yu let Chu Junyan in?" Ximen Aolong's eyes showed a solemn look.

The Ximen family has the deepest hatred for Zhenguo Mansion, so they know all kinds of information about Zhenguo Mansion the best. The more Ximen Lintian knows Chu Junyan, the more he understands how powerful she is.

If Chu Junyan arrives in Lingzhou, it will be a very troublesome matter.

Ximen Lintian sneered, his eyes extremely cold and cold: "Whether Chu Junyan can come in, Emperor Yu will of course have to see the performance of our Lingzhou forces!"

"Isn't this the case twenty years ago? Our Ximen family has already contributed money. Isn't it enough? Why do we still need our Ximen family to send people to participate in the war?

The war is in turmoil. Which family doesn't protect its body clearly? Why must we be forced to participate in the war!

Emperor Yu borrowed Chu Junxiong's hand and almost left our Ximen family with no successors. Your eldest uncle and two uncles were ten times more capable than me. At that time, there were so many elite children in our Ximen family that even the Lieyan Sect and Zhongyi Hall had to fight with them. We are respectful, but in that battle, everything was lost! "

"It's all gone!"

The cup in Ximen Lintian's hand was smashed to pieces by him, and Emperor Yu's figure was reflected in his eyes, revealing a hint of hatred and even a hint of fear!

Twenty years ago, when the two great dynasties attacked, most of the forces thought that the Yu Dynasty could not withstand the attack, so they all chose to protect themselves wisely and plan a way out.

However, under Emperor Yu's iron-blooded methods, he was able to repulse the two great dynasties.

At the beginning, the Yu Dynasty failed to react and retreated steadily. Faced with the great advantages of the two dynasties, as an emperor, he dared to travel thousands of miles to enter the enemy camp alone and kill the enemy commander!

Dare you believe it?

In this relatively suicidal situation, Emperor Yu actually succeeded and came back.

That battle not only broke up the offensive trend of the two dynasties, but also frightened all the major forces in the dynasty. If anyone did not join the war, it would drive Emperor Yu crazy. The enemy's base camp would dare to attack alone, but his own power base camp, wouldn't he dare?

As a result, no force dared to obey the orders issued by Emperor Yu during that period.
