LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 71 Zhou Xinghua died?
One day later, before Wu Yong and Xing Daorong arrived at the county town, Zhou Xinghua died!
The reason was that he fell into the lake and drowned.
The methods of the three major forces are faster than imagined.
Wu Yong and Xing Daorong also fled back to Lincheng during the pursuit of Zhongyi Hall.
In Lincheng City Lord's Mansion, Chu Qingyan had a gloomy look on her face as she listened to Wu Yong and Xing Daorong who had returned from their journey to report.
"Princess, my subordinates are incompetent and were unable to protect Governor Zhou in time."
Wu Yong looked guilty.
"Nothing, we underestimated the enemy's methods."
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 snitched.
Otherwise, when we just said we were going to protect Governor Zhou, Governor Zhou would have died immediately. We acted too quickly, and the people from Zhongyi Hall actually knew Wu Yong and I's hidden whereabouts and chased us all the way. "
Chu Qingyan's beautiful face frowned slightly, with a sharp look in her eyes as she looked at Wu Yong.
I saw Wu Yong nodding sadly and sighing, who had ever thought of being betrayed by his own people.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Chu Qingyan trusted them more and said gently:
"I will give you an explanation for this matter. You can go down and rest first."
"Yes, thank you Princess."
Wu Yong and Xing Daorong looked at each other and both left.
Seeing the two people leaving, Chu Qingyan said softly to the empty room:
"Do you think Wu Yong and Xing Daorong are trustworthy?"
A middle-aged man slowly walked out of the back hall. Liang Wenyu, the counselor sent by the Zhenguo government to assist Chu Qingyan some time ago, was secretly hidden by Chu Qingyan.
Liang Wenyu had just been observing the expressions of Wu Yong and Xing Daorong from behind.
"It seems credible now." Liang Wenyu said slowly.
Chu Qingyan nodded silently. She sent Wu Yong and Xing Daorong there with the purpose of finding out whether Wu Yong and Xing Daorong were truly 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 gently, looking quite contented.
The moment he came to Huiyang County to assist Chu Qingyan, he had already predicted that the three major forces would take action against Zhou Xinghua. He had already joined forces with Zhou Xinghua to make a plan to fake his death!
"That's good." Chu Qingyan's eyebrows showed a hint of worry.
Liang Wenyu saw Chu Qingyan's appearance and consoled him:
"Second Miss, all this is worth it. It is a big taboo for the three major forces to attack the county guard. In the future, other county guards and even officials from various prefectures in Lingzhou will have a potentially hostile attitude towards them. As long as we are in Lingzhou in the future, The greater their power, the more they will be inclined to have an attitude similar to ours, and the more beneficial it will be to us in the future.
What we need now is to publicize the news that Zhou Xinghua was attacked and killed by the three major forces.
Once we arrive, some young talents in Huiyang County will be hostile to the three major forces and will give priority to our recruitment.
Secondly, we can legitimately send troops!
Liang Wenyu's eyes were particularly sharp. This was his real purpose in letting Zhou Xinghua fake his death. The three major forces had many masters, so they would easily suffer in a small-scale battle. But if a big war really started, the brave and capable generals of the Zhenguo Mansion could pin them to the ground and rub them.
After the three major forces are driven out of Huiyang County, he will let Zhou Xinghua come back. By then, their reputation and strength will have reached their peak, and talents will continue to come to join them.
Chu Qingyan nodded slightly. This was also the plan she had discussed with Liang Wenyu. Once Zhou Xinghua "died", she could use the name of Zhou Xinghua's attack to have Yang Zhaoping and Jiang Tiantian send troops to attack the cities controlled by the three major forces.
Force them out of Huiyang County step by step.
By the way, let's test Wu Yong and Xing Daorong who joined the team midway.
But the worry on Chu Qingyan's eyebrows did not change. She had a hunch that her plan would not be so easy to implement.
Chu Qingyan unconsciously looked up in one direction, which was the direction of Capital City.
"Is the young lady worried about King Chu?"
Liang Wenyu showed a look of understanding when he saw Chu Qingyan's appearance.
"Yes, according to me who lived with him for a period of time, King Li Yuan of Chu likes to shady people behind his back. He does one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. He is a character who can't see the rabbit but the hawk. Yesterday, news came that he has recruited a group of people. A great talent, we are building momentum for him!"
When Chu Qingyan talked about Li Yuan, there was a hint of embarrassment in her eyes. Most of the enemies she dealt with could be seen, and even if she lost, she would lose clearly. But Li Yuan knew how to win by hiding behind his back and making small moves. A little, but he will never lose.
"Great talent, building momentum?"
Liang Wenyu thought carefully, and suddenly his expression turned bad. Hearing what Chu Qingyan said, he had a vague image of King Chu, but why would King 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 did this important position come from?
"Suffer it!"
"What's wrong?"
Facing Chu Qingyan's inquiry, Liang Wenyu said seriously:
"King Chu probably guessed that Zhou Xinghua would die!"
Chu Qingyan's eyes narrowed, and she could immediately think of Li Yuan's next move.
"You're saying that Li Yuan is likely to send someone to serve as the governor of Huiyang County, so that the talented person can take over!"
Liang Wenyu said in a deep voice:
"That's right, and this person is probably Lu Changming, the colleague of Lingyang Mansion!
Only Lu Changming is the most suitable, and Mo Ziyan cannot come, because the King of Chu still needs him to stabilize the civil officials of the capital city, and then send another person to serve as the Tongzhi. After a while, the King of Chu will be able to smoothly take over the entire capital city.
Since Lu Changming had cooperated with the Ximen family, he had no choice but to agree to come. "
After Liang Wenyu thought about the context, he instantly guessed who Li Yuan would send.
Chu Qingyan's face darkened. She knew how much trouble Lu Changming would cause her once he became the governor of Huiyang County.
Damn Li Yuan, he knows how to trick me every day!
"Second Miss, we will immediately inform Yang Zhaoping and Jiang Tiantian to carry out the original plan ahead of schedule. They will launch a sneak attack tonight and capture the two cities before the King of Chu gives the order!"
Liang Wenyu made a decisive decision with fierce eyes:
"We have spies investigate Lu Changming's whereabouts and deal with him before he reaches Huiyang County!"
"Um!"
Chu Qingyan nodded slightly, then quickly left the house and immediately contacted the two to prepare for action.
…………
Zhou Xinghua's death really shocked all the forces!
In Huiyang County, as Chu Qingyan sent people to secretly spread the word, everyone from top to bottom to all the people knew that it was the three major forces who 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 many people's hearts. Some young talents in Huiyang County hate the three major forces.
At this time, Chu Qingyan stood up and shouted, they probably turned to Chu Qingyan because they hated the three major forces.
