Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

The competition is finally over today!

Li Yuanchang breathed a sigh of relief, stretched his muscles, and prepared to return to the palace.

The preliminary rounds of martial arts are basically very fast!

Every battle is over quickly, unless the two players happen to meet their opponents, allowing each to exert their full strength and leave the audience eye-opening.

Wen Dou's poems were also evaluated.

There are good poems one after another, all kinds of good nouns and lines. Even Li Yuan, who is familiar with Tang poetry and Song lyrics, has to praise the best ones.

The beauty and meaning of Gao Gao's words are far-reaching, and the rhyme lingers in his mind the next day.

However, the poem written by Xu Qingshan was really good and he won third place.

Today is the preliminary round, and tomorrow is the finals, which is the most exciting day.

Tomorrow's civil war is no longer about essay writing, but a sandbox simulation duel. Both sides have the same strength and conditions, but compete in different environments. This sandbox comparison is a great test of intelligence and planning!

After today's screening of martial arts, the remaining ones are basically Xiantian realm masters.

Chu Qingyan was very confused when she saw Li Yuan preparing to leave.

She had been sitting here with Li Yuan all day today, and found that Li Yuan was just staying here doing nothing, let alone recruiting the geniuses below. If she hadn't reminded him, he would have almost fallen asleep.

"Are you really ready to leave?" Chu Qingyan frowned and asked Li Yuan.

"If you don't go back, why are you staying here?" Li Yuan asked doubtfully. Do you want to treat yourself to a meal?

Chu Qingyan looked at Li Yuan with suspicion. Li Yuan's actions today made her feel very strange. He had already been crowned king, and he had also sealed such a large fief. Aren't he going to build a team and recruit talents?

Is it really like the rumors that he always wanted to be a happy and comfortable prince?

But even if you are a free prince, you still need to have subordinates to do things.

Could it be that Li Yuan wanted to recruit secretly, so he left in such a hurry?

Chu Qingyan's eyes lit up, as if she knew what Li Yuan was doing, and wanted to recruit talents secretly, and then surprise everyone.

Li Yuan's thoughts are the same as hers!

"It's nothing, then you should leave quickly, I'm leaving too!"

After Chu Qingyan guessed what Li Yuan was thinking, she gave Li Yuan a lightly disdainful look and walked away.

Li Yuan looked at Chu Qingyan's leaving figure speechlessly. He was talking nicely just now, but he immediately gave him a look of contempt. What did it mean?

Ah!

Women are indeed fickle!

…………

"Fifth brother!"

As soon as Li Yuan walked out of the square, he saw the second prince, Prince Ming, waiting for him.

"Second brother."

When Su Jian and others behind King Ming saw Li Yuan approaching, they quickly said respectfully:

"Meet His Highness the King of Chu!"

"Fifth brother, we haven't gotten together for a long time. Let's go to my house for a drink tonight."

Prince Ming waved Su Jian and others away and invited Li Yuan to Prince Ming's Mansion.

Before Li Yuan could answer, Prince Xuan's voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Haha, isn't this a coincidence? I just want to invite my fifth brother to a party tonight."

Prince Xuan also came with a group of powerful disciples.

When King Ming saw King Xuan approaching, he was not surprised and snorted coldly:

"Humph, I asked you why you are always haunted!"

At this time, King Yu came out from the other side and said with a smile:

"Since we all want to get together with my fifth brother, why don't we go together and it will be lively."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he said quickly:

"Okay, it's been a long time since I got together with my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother."

King Xuan is calm and steady, King Ming is majestic, and King Yu is calm and unhurried.

The three princes stood next to Li Yuan and immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. Many people who were preparing to leave stopped to watch.

"Let's go and get together." Prince Xuan didn't want to be watched by so many people, so he said.

"Let's go." The three of them said in unison.

In a corner somewhere, Li Yao watched coldly as Li Yuan left with the three princes, looking at Li Yuan with a look of jealousy.

Why did they invite Lao Wu but not themselves?

All this originally belonged to him!

Li Yao stared at their departing figures for a while and left without saying a word.

He wanted to recruit talents, and his mother-in-law was right. Only when he becomes stronger can others respect him.

…………

In a private room of a restaurant, Yuwen Chengdu looked at the scholar with long white beard opposite him.

"General Yuwen, I'm Wu Yong."

With a smile on his face, Wu Yong held a jade fan and said to Yuwen Chengdu.

"useless?"

Facing the extremely tall and burly Yuwen Chengdu, Wu Yong felt a huge pressure just sitting there.

"Kou Tian Wu, Wu Yong, if General Yuwen likes it, just call me Wu Xuexue."

Wu Yong knew that his name could easily cause misunderstandings among others, so he patiently introduced it to Yuwen Chengdu.

After all, Wu Yong knew Yuwen Chengdu's deeds, but Yuwen Chengdu didn't know him.

Yuwen Chengdu's eyes became gentler, and he instinctively felt that the frail scholar in front of him had the same aura as him.

Just like when they met for the first time on the street, they knew that the other person was the person they were looking for.

"Your Highness, you sent me to find me. What do you need me to do?"

Wu Yong's face became serious. After carefully observing the surroundings of the box to make sure no one was eavesdropping, he said solemnly:

"General Yuwen, His Highness is now the focus of all forces in Kyoto. We cannot meet with His Highness at this time. When His Highness summoned me, he gave me a message and asked me to find General Yuwen. You can go to Lingyang Mansion in Lingzhou with you. Your Highness will be there. Meet us there.”

"Lingyang Mansion?" Yuwen Chengdu heard a hint of worry in his eyes:

"Your Highness has a long journey to Lingyang Mansion. What should we do if we encounter danger on the way?"

When Wu Yong heard Yuwen Chengdu's worries, he waved his jade fan and said confidently:

"Don't worry, General Yuwen. As long as His Highness is still in the dynasty, there will basically be no danger."

“And our main task now is to go to Lingyang Mansion in advance, inquire about the situation of Lingyang Mansion, and wait for His Highness to arrive.

Your Highness has no foundation. If you don’t understand the situation when you arrive at Lingyang Mansion, you will be easily restrained by the princess. We must quickly establish His Highness’s intelligence force in Lingyang Mansion in advance, develop it secretly, and assist His Highness in controlling Lingyang Mansion. "

"Yes!" Yuwen Chengdu nodded in response, with a bone-chilling coldness in his eyes. To establish power in a strange place, bloodshed is inevitable!
