Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

Chapter 76 Taking office



After hearing Li Yuan's words, all the officials looked at each other and were speechless.

His Highness didn't even send anyone out to meet them, so he asked them whether they were satisfied or not. No one knew what this meant.

Besides, the gossip was so small that almost everyone in the city knew about it after one day.

The officials spoke without saying anything and looked at the leader, Mo Ziyan.

Li Yuan also looked at Mo Ziyan with a smile.

With everyone watching, Mo Ziyan stood up and said respectfully:

"Your Highness is very discerning. Anyone who can be valued by His Highness must be outstanding. I am looking forward to this colleague very much."

Then a steady man slowly walked out from behind Li Yuan.

Li Yuan stretched out his hand towards Xun Yu and introduced to everyone: "This is from now on Xun Yu, the colleague of Lingyang Mansion, Xun Yu!"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Xun Yu,

I saw that Xun Yu was not nervous at all, he took it indifferently, saluted the officials below, and said with a smile:

"Xun Yu has met all of my colleagues. Thanks to His Highness's love, I will have the honor to work with all of my colleagues to manage the safety of Ling Yang."

Immediately all the officials stood up and paid homage:

"I will pay my respects to Xun Tongzhi!"

Mo Ziyan and Chen Wei also saluted back.

Next, Mo Ziyan and a group of officials introduced the situation in various places in Lingyang Mansion to Li Yuan.

Xun Yu was sitting where Lu Changming had just been. Facing the glances from time to time, everyone smiled lightly and listened quietly to the officials' reports without speaking.

After a long time, after all the government officials left, Li Yuan, Xun Yu, Mo Ziyan, and Chen Wei continued to sit in the high hall.

"Commander Chen, the governor of Zhou County was attacked and killed. As the captain of the county guard army, he has an unshirkable responsibility. I plan to send a capable general to Huiyang County to replace the captain. I don't know which of the two captains under Commander Chen will be. Is the position suitable?"

Li Yuan specially emphasized the word "dedicated general".

Mo Ziyan's eyes moved and he glanced at Xun Yu opposite him.

Xun Yu caught Mo Ziyan's eyes and looked at them with a smile.

Chen Wei's expression was startled, and he met Li Yuan's expectant gaze. He immediately stood up and saluted respectfully, but he didn't understand Li Yuan's attitude, and his tone was a little awkward:

"Your Highness, the two captains under the general's command are both outstanding in ability and strict in running the army. It would be really difficult for the general to choose?"

"Commander Chen can choose the captain he trusts most and tell him to stay true to his heart in Huiyang County, and I will remember his merits."

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Chen Wei understood.

Immediately said: "Feng Tong, the captain of the Guards Cavalry School, is loyal to His Highness and can be sent to Huiyang County."

There are two captains in the guard army, namely:

The captain of the sudden cavalry is in charge of the cavalry of the army.

Infantry captain, in charge of guarding the army.

Li Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard about the sudden cavalry captain.

"Okay, then send Feng Tong to Huiyang County. Soon after, my appointment order will be conveyed to Huiyang County."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Chen Wei bowed.

"Commander Chen, I have another unkind request. I conquered a master on the way. He is loyal to me. Staying in the palace is too unworthy of his talent. Therefore, I want him to train in the army." , I wonder if Commander Chen has any recommendations?”

Chen Wei understood in his heart, met Li Yuan's trusting gaze, and then smiled and said:

"What His Highness is talking about is Yuwen Chengdu. Yuwen Chengdu once defeated Commander Yang, the late master of the princess's command, with his peak innate realm. The general has heard a little bit about it. With such a genius joining the guard army, and the guard army getting a big general, Yuwen Chengdu is enough to handle the sudden attack. The position of Captain of Cavalry.”

"Okay, then let Commander Chen do the hard work!"

Li Yuan didn't need to shirk again and again, he just accepted the appointment directly.

"yes!"

Chen Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart that had been hanging for a while finally calmed down.

Li Yuan clearly arranged for someone to be with Chen Wei, which was also a sign of trust.

Soon, the news of Lu Changming's appointment as Magistrate of Huiyang County also spread.

The captain of Huiyang County was recalled to the capital city by the King of Chu, and news of Feng Tong's replacement also came out.

The news that Xun Yu became a magistrate of the capital city was known to the people through the grapevine, so it didn't cause much of a sensation.

On the contrary, the incident of Yuwen Chengdu becoming the captain of the Guards' sudden cavalry caused a storm of public opinion in the capital city.

In particular, Yuwen Chengdu's deeds of defeating Commander Yang in the later stage of the Grand Master at his innate peak were revealed!

Let Yuwen Chengdu's prestige greatly increase in the hearts of the people in the capital city!

The spotlight went directly to the newly appointed Xun Yu.

In addition, the army has always respected strength, so Yuwen Chengdu took over the guard cavalry smoothly.

The second day after Xun Yu entered the government office, he selected three people from the pamphlet given to him by Li Yuan to take over the positions of the three officials sent by Li Yuan to Huiyang County yesterday, which was regarded as establishing his first team.

At this point, when Dufucheng's attention shifted to Huiyang County again, a mysterious woman came to the King of Chu's palace!

"People's daughter Liu Yanxin pays homage to His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, a strange flash appeared in Li Yuan's eyes.

The woman in front of her has soft and bright black hair, shining like a ball of fire in the sunlight. Her body is tall, straight forward and backward, graceful and plump, and with a charming face, she has a thrilling charm!

Although she stood quietly in front of Li Yuan, she gave Li Yuan a feeling of tenderness like water and charm like fire.

"Saint Liu Yanxin of Lieyan Sect!"

Liu Yanxin was not surprised when she heard Li Yuan reveal her identity. She bowed slightly and looked at Li Yuan with a smile:

"I heard that His Highness is very interested in our Lieyan Sect, and Yang Changkong admires His Highness quite a lot. The sect master learned that His Highness had some doubts about cultivation, so he specially sent a little girl to help His Highness clear his doubts."

"Oh? Are you afraid that people from the Ximen family and Zhongyi Hall will find out about your private entry into the palace today?"

Li Yuan fiddled with the tea set on the table and motioned for Liu Yanxin to sit down.

When Liu Yanxin heard Li Yuan's words, the expression on her face did not change. She sat down very naturally and said generously:

"It doesn't matter if they find out. Lingyang Mansion is the fiefdom of His Highness. It is reasonable to enter Lingyang Mansion and visit His Highness King Chu. Our Lieyan Sect has always observed etiquette."

"Very polite?"

Li Yuan's smooth tea-making movement paused, and then the teapot was poured, the tea flowed into the cup, and a mellow tea fragrance hit his face.

Li Yuan handed Liu Yanxin a cup of fragrant tea. Liu Yanxin took it with both hands and sniffed it gently. Her eyes were as fascinated as crescent moons and her face looked happy:

"I didn't expect that this little girl would be lucky enough to drink tea from His Highness King Chu."

Li Yuan didn't feel any fluctuation in his heart. He didn't know how many times he had seen this kind of scene.

Given his status, he is always surrounded by words of praise.

Watching Liu Yanxin sip tea with her charming lips, Li Yuan's mind was running wildly.

What happened to Lieyan Sect?

The last time Yang Changkong arrived, it had been hinted that Lieyan Sect was a partner he could cooperate with.

Now that the Holy Lady of Lieyan Sect has arrived, it has already shown the attitude of Lieyan Sect.

In other words, can I win over the Lieyan Sect?

Do you think so highly of yourself?
