Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

"Congratulations to the princess for defeating the bandits!"

When Li Yuan continued on his way, Chu Qingyan and a group of soldiers were already waiting in front, quietly waiting for the arrival of Li Yuan and his party.

"Did His Royal Highness King Chu sleep well last night?"

On one side of the road, Chu Qingyan stood on the carriage frame, opposite Li Yuan, her eyes resting on Li Yuan's luxurious carriage, while the person behind her glanced at the soldiers behind her.

After they dealt with the bandits last night, they immediately rushed back to the village with the bandit leader, only to find that the village had been looted. Not long ago, when these people rushed back, Li Yuan and others had just arrived. In front of them.

So Chu Qingyan was very suspicious of someone.

Li Yuan's face was full of sorrow and he said: "How can we be at ease? When I saw that the princess was attacked by a surprise attack, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep. Even the three thousand cavalry guarding the princess were attacked. How can I feel at ease with such a small number of troops?"

"Yeah?"

Chu Qingyan and his party quietly looked at the large and small bags behind the cavalry, slowly walking over...

Chu Qingyan pointed at the cavalry and said, "Your Highness, King Chu, I wonder what these cavalry are carrying on their backs. I didn't see them yesterday. I'm a little curious?"

Why should I satisfy your curiosity!

Li Yuan complained fiercely in his heart, but seeing that he had gained quite a lot last night, he still pointed at the package that showed the shape of a gold and silver vessel and said sincerely:

"Oh? These are some local specialties that Fan Tongtong led the soldiers to dig in the mountains last night."

Zhou Qiuya, Chen Xiao and others behind Chu Qingyan opened their eyes wide and watched King Chu telling lies openly.

"Would you like some, Princess?" Li Yuan asked very politely.

"OK!"

Chu Qingyan gritted her teeth. She knew what was inside, and she wanted to see what Li Yuan could give her.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan waved his hand and said grandly: "Come here, give the princess some of the local products we dug last night."

"yes!"

"drive!"

A cavalryman broke away from the team and rode quickly to Li Yuan. After bowing his hands respectfully to Li Yuan, he picked up the package behind him and threw it to the soldiers next to Chu Qingyan.

Bang!

There was a dull sound, and the soldier took the package easily.

When he opened it, his eyes widened, and an earthy smell hit his face. It was really some local products.

Everyone looked at him, their expressions blank, and then turned to look at Li Yuan who showed a friendly smile.

Li Yuan looked at their shocked eyes without changing his smile.

What a joke. I said that if there are local specialties, there are local specialties. How can I still lie to you?

"This... there is also ginseng in the barren mountains and ridges?"

The man next to Qiu Ya pointed blankly at a small ginseng among a pile of local products.

"Isn't that right? Ginseng is found in barren mountains and ridges."

Li Yuan saw the ginseng that was only about ten years old and said calmly.

In this world, ginseng that is hundreds of years old is worth some money. Ginseng that is one or twenty years old is eaten by warriors to replenish their energy and blood.

Of course, these local products are also brought from the cottage.

"Thank you, Your Highness, King Chu," Chu Qingyan took a deep breath. Looking at Li Yuan's friendly smile, she suddenly had the urge to punch him.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, due to the attacks in the past two days, is deeply aware of the rampant banditry in Lingzhou. In order to protect the safety of His Highness, I am willing to lead my cavalry to go in advance and wipe out the nearby bandits. Firstly, to protect the safety of His Highness, and secondly, to restore peace to the nearby people. !”

hiss!

Li Yuan's expression froze, she had thought of this.

Seeing Li Yuan's "shocked" expression, Chu Qingyan smiled secretly, raised her head slightly, and her hair floated slightly.

"Okay, the princess is willing to solve my king's worries, so of course she can, go ahead!"

Li Yuan agreed immediately.

"Thank you, Your Highness, King Chu!"

The person behind Chu Qingyan sincerely thanked Li Yuan.

"snort!"

"Walk!"

Chu Qingyan snorted rather arrogantly and immediately signaled the cavalry to move forward quickly.

According to what these bandit prisoners learned last night, they already knew which cottages were ahead and which ones were the fattest.

Seeing the large group of people advancing quickly, Li Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the princess has a good plan!"

Zhou Wanting, who was rescued, rode to Li Yuan and wanted to remind Li Yuan.

Li Yuan glanced at Zhou Wanting lightly and smiled:

"But the princess also did a good thing, which can at least make the people in this area peaceful for a while."

It's not that Li Yuan doesn't want to solve these banditry problems. As a prince, he naturally has to maintain the stability of the people. But he only has 300 cavalry, which he can't afford. If someone helps him solve it, why not do it.

"Commander Fan."

Li Yuan summoned Commander Fan to come forward.

"Your Highness, please give me your instructions."

Commander Fan said respectfully.

Li Yuan smiled and said:

"Commander Fan, you ask a team of people to dress up as ordinary people and spread the word around:

It is said that His Highness the King of Chu has come to Lingzhou, lamenting the serious banditry in Lingzhou and the suffering of the people, and specially sent troops to clear out the banditry in the cottage!

The focus is on the troops sent by the "King of Chu\

,"Can you understand what I mean? "

Commander Fan's expression was startled, and finally he clasped his fists fiercely and said:

"I will finally understand!"

Mr. Jiang, who had been closing his eyes tightly in the carriage, opened his eyes again and looked at Li Yuan outside the carriage with admiring eyes.

The fifth prince looks like a majesty!

Now it was Zhou Wanting's turn to take a deep breath. She didn't expect that His Highness King Chu, who exuded a heroic aura, was so disgusted...

For...for the sake of the princess...

Originally, the princess was a thorn in the flesh of the various forces in Lingzhou. Now, isn't it a provocation to them to suppress the bandits as soon as she comes in?

For the sake of the princess's safety, His Royal Highness the King of Chu took on the responsibility of suppressing bandits for the princess without hesitation!

As expected of His Highness the King of Chu!

"Ms. Zhou, this is my first time coming to Lingzhou. I don't know the customs and customs of Lingzhou. Miss Zhou is from Lingzhou. Can you introduce me to it?"

Li Yuan looked at Zhou Wanting, who was secretly lost in thought, and asked for advice.

Zhou Wanting's eyes lit up and she said quickly: "It is a little girl's honor to be able to introduce Lingzhou to His Highness King Chu."

"please!"

Li Yuan opened the car door curtain as an invitation.

Zhou Wanting got off her horse and jumped up.

Behind them, Zhou Qiong and other Zhou family members looked excited as they watched the eldest lady getting into King Chu's carriage.

This is His Highness the King of Chu. Unexpectedly, as soon as the princess left, His Highness the King of Chu would immediately invite his own lady.

Zhou Wanting had already made some guesses the night Li Yuan rescued them. In the next few days, she learned the identities of Li Yuan and Chu Qingyan. As expected, they were His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Chu Qingyan, the second lady of the Zhenguo Mansion.

For them, the status of a prince is an existence that is beyond their reach, and no woman would want to marry the most noble person.

I didn’t expect that my young lady would be able to have close contact with His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

Although they all know that there is a little eunuch and a guardian in the carriage.

but!

We can ride in the same carriage today,

Can we be in the same room tomorrow?

Can we be together in a picture the day after tomorrow... ahem!

Is there hope for revenge in the future?

Li Yuan didn't know what these Zhou family members were thinking about. He really wanted to ask Zhou Wanting everything about Lingzhou.

He is a serious person.
