Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 71 Zhou Xinghua is dead?

One day later, before Wu Yong and Xing Daorong arrived at the county town, Zhou Xinghua died!
The cause was falling into the lake and drowning.

The methods of the three major forces are faster than expected.

And Wu Yong and Xing Daorong also fled back to Lincheng during the pursuit of Zhongyitang.

In Lincheng City Lord's Mansion, Chu Qingyan had a gloomy face, listening to Wu Yong and Xing Daorong who came back to report.

"My concubine, my subordinates are incompetent and have not been able to protect Zhou Junshou in time."

Wu Yong looked guilty.

"Nothing, we underestimated the enemy's means."

Chu Qingyan suppressed the anger in her heart, and comforted Wu Yong and Xing Daorong.

The anger on Xing Daorong's face was obvious, "Princess, I suspect someone has informed you.

Otherwise, when we just said to protect Zhou Junshou, Zhou Junshou died immediately, the action was too fast, and the people of Zhongyitang even knew Wu Yong's hidden whereabouts and chased us all the way. "

Chu Qingyan frowned slightly on her beautiful face, her eyes were sharp, and she looked at Wu Yong.

Wu Yong nodded sadly and sighed, who ever wanted to be betrayed by his own people.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Chu Qingyan trusted them a little more, and said gently:
"I will give you an explanation on this matter, you go down and rest first."

"Yes, thank you princess."

Wu Yong and Xing Daorong looked at each other, and both left.

Seeing the figures of the two leaving, Chu Qingyan said softly to the empty room:
"Do you think Wu Yong and Xing Daorong are trustworthy?"

A middle-aged man walked out slowly from the back hall. Liang Wenyu, the counselor sent by the Zhen Guofu to assist Chu Qingyan some time ago, was secretly hidden by Chu Qingyan.

Liang Wenyu has been observing the expressions of Wu Yong and Xing Daorong just now.

"It seems credible now." Liang Wenyu said slowly.

Chu Qingyan nodded silently. She sent Wu Yong and Xing Daorong there, and she also meant to find out whether Wu Yong and Xing Daorong were really loyal to her.

"How is Governor Zhou doing now?"

"He's hiding in the dark now."

The two asked and answered, revealing a big secret.

Zhou Xinghua is not dead!

Liang Wenyu stroked his beard lightly, looking rather contented.

The moment he came to Huiyang County to assist Chu Qingyan, he had already expected that the three major forces would definitely attack Zhou Xinghua, and he had already joined hands with Zhou Xinghua to make a stand-in and feign death!
"That's good." A ray of worry appeared between Chu Qingyan's brows.

Seeing Chu Qingyan's appearance, Liang Wenyu comforted him:

"Second Miss, all of this is worth it. It is a taboo for the three major forces to attack and kill the county guard. In the future, other county guards and even officials in Lingzhou's prefectures will have a potentially hostile attitude towards them. As long as we are in Lingzhou in the future The greater the power of the people, the more their attitude towards us will be, and the future will be more beneficial to us.

What we need now is to publicize the news that Zhou Xinghua was attacked and killed by the three major forces.

For one thing, some young talents in Huiyang County will be hostile to the three major forces, and will give priority to our recruitment.

Secondly, we can justifiably send troops!

Liang Wenyu's eyes were extremely sharp. This was his real purpose of making Zhou Xinghua fake his death. The three major factions have many masters, and they are easy to suffer in small-scale battles. But if a big battle really starts, the brave and skilled generals of the Zhen Guofu will be able to rub them on the ground.

After driving the three major forces out of Huiyang County, he would let Zhou Xinghua come back. By then, their prestige and strength would have reached their peak, and talents would come in a steady stream.

Chu Qingyan nodded slightly. This was also the plan she had discussed with Liang Wenyu. Once Zhou Xinghua was "dead", she could use the name of Zhou Xinghua's attack to let Yang Zhaoping and Jiang Tiantian send troops to attack the cities controlled by the three major forces.

Drive them out of Huiyang County step by step.

By the way, let's test Wu Yong and Xing Daorong who joined his subordinates halfway.

But the worry on Chu Qingyan's eyebrows did not change. She had a premonition that her plan would not be so easy to implement.

Chu Qingyan unconsciously raised her head and looked in a direction, which was the direction of the capital city.

"Miss is worried about King Chu?"

When Liang Wenyu saw Chu Qingyan's appearance, he showed a clear expression.

"That's right, as far as I've lived by his side for a while, King Li Yuan of Chu likes to hide people behind his back the most. On the surface, he's a character who doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't cast an eagle. It was reported yesterday that he has recruited a lot of people." He is a great talent, and we are building momentum for him!"

When Chu Qingyan talked about Li Yuan, there was a look of embarrassment in her eyes. The enemies she dealt with were basically visible, and even if she lost, she would lose clearly, but Li Yuan knew how to hide behind her back and make small moves. You can win A little, but he will never lose money.

"Great talent, build momentum?"

Liang Wenyu thought about it carefully, and suddenly his complexion became bad. Hearing what Chu Qingyan said, he had a vague image of the King of Chu, but why would the King of Chu rush to build momentum for a great talent at this time?

Liang Wenyu's mind flashed, and he suddenly realized,

Unless the King of Chu wants him to hold an important position!
Where does this important position come from?

"It happened!"

"what happened?"

Facing Chu Qingyan's inquiry, Liang Wenyu said with a serious face:

"The King of Chu probably guessed that Zhou Xinghua would die!"

Chu Qingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she could think of Li Yuan's next actions in an instant.

"You mean that Li Yuan will probably send someone to be the governor of Huiyang County, and let that great talent take over!"

Liang Wenyu said in a deep voice:

"That's right, and this person is probably Lu Changming, the Tong Zhi of Lingyang Mansion!

Only Lu Changming is the most suitable, and Mo Ziyan is unlikely to come, because the king of Chu still needs him to stabilize the civil servants in the capital city, and send another person to be the co-prefect. After a while, the king of Chu will be able to take over the entire capital city smoothly.

And Lu Changming once cooperated with the Ximen family, so he had to agree to come. "

After Liang Wenyu figured out the context, he guessed who Li Yuan would send in an instant.

Chu Qingyan's face darkened, she knew how much trouble it would cause her if Lu Changming took the post of Sheriff of Huiyang County.

Damn Li Yuan, he knows Miss Kengben every day!
"Second Miss, let's immediately notify Yang Zhaoping and Jiang Tiancai to carry out the original plan ahead of schedule, to sneak attack tonight, and to take down the two cities before the king of Chu gives the order!"

Liang Wenyu made a decisive decision, with a fierce look in his eyes:

"We let the spies check the whereabouts of Lu Changming's arrival, deal with him, and don't let him reach Huiyang County!"

"Ok!"

Chu Qingyan nodded slightly, then quickly left the house, and immediately contacted the two to prepare for action.

…………

Zhou Xinghua's death really caused shocks in all the forces!

In Huiyang County, following the secret propaganda sent by Chu Qingyan, all the forces and the common people knew that it was the three major forces that assassinated Governor Zhou.

Many neutral forces showed fear and disgust towards the three major forces.

In particular, Zhou Xinghua has served in Huiyang County for many years and has won the hearts of many people. Some young talents in Huiyang County hate the three major forces.

At this time, Chu Qingyan ascended to the top and said that they probably turned to Chu Qingyan because they hated the three major forces.
