Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

Two days later, in the bustling Ziyang County, Zheng Shunfa led officials of all sizes in the county to wait at the city gate for the arrival of Li Yuan and his party.

After a while, a group of luxurious carriages slowly arrived at the gate of Ziyang County.

In front of the carriage was a burly man wearing armor, Chen Wei, followed by a luxurious carriage.

Zheng Shunfa suddenly smiled, narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly:

"Weak minister Zheng Shunfa, the governor of Ziyang County, respects His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

The officials behind him bowed their heads in greeting.

When the people at the city gate heard the adults in the city respectfully saluted King Chu, their faces were startled, and they also saluted the carriage one after another.

On the horse, Chen Wei looked at them with arrogance and indifference.

In the carriage, Li Yuan, who was talking to Mo Ziyan, heard Zheng Shunfa's respectful greeting. He nodded slightly to Mo Ziyan, then walked out of the carriage and stood on the horse frame, and an aura of nobility emanated from the inside out.

Li Yuan looked at Zheng Shunfa with a satisfied expression and said softly:

"You, Commander Zheng, are interested. Please get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Everyone stood up after hearing this.

Li Yuan looked past Zheng Shunfa to the officials behind him.

Zheng Shunfa understood in his heart and took a step forward to introduce them:

"Your Highness, this is Shen Juncheng. Shen Juncheng assists ministers in all matters large and small in the county."

The middle-aged man behind Zheng Shunfa smiled broadly and said respectfully: "Meet His Highness the King of Chu."

"This is Lieutenant Wu of the county city. He is in charge of the 30,000 garrison of the county city."

"This is Lin Gongcao, who is in charge of all personnel affairs in the county..."

"The king's chief secretary is in charge of documents..."

"Liao Duyou is in charge of inspecting the subordinate city and supervising the officials and citizens of the county..."

"Meet His Highness the King of Chu!"

The introduced officials greeted Li Yuan respectfully one by one and made Li Yuan familiar with them.

After a while, after the introduction, the king and his ministers got to know each other.

Immediately, Sheriff Zheng led Li Yuan and his party into the city, and passers-by gave way to each other. After they passed by, passers-by started talking.

"Wow! It's His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is benevolent and righteous and loves the people. He patrols everywhere to show sympathy for the people."

"Now His Highness has come to our Ziyang County for inspection."

"Of course, King Chu is famous for his benevolence and righteousness..."

As a few "passers-by" praised and praised him, the surrounding people followed their words and began to praise King Chu's reputation. When they left, the news of King Chu's arrival would spread throughout the county and other cities.

When Nangong Xiyue established the intelligence organization, the first thing she did was Li Yuan. Her main task now was to spread his reputation in various counties and cities...

Anyway, in the past few months, Li Yuan has not been able to go out or step forward, but the people in all counties know that there is a King Chu in Lingyang Mansion, who is benevolent and righteous and loves the people!

In a restaurant on the second floor, two young men looked at Li Yuan and his party through the window, drinking and talking.

Zheng Shuangxing, who was dressed in white and elegant, watched silently as the King of Chu dismounted his horse, walked and chatted happily with his accompanying father, and headed towards the county government.

The King of Chu had a friendly face, nodding and smiling at the people on both sides of the road from time to time. The people who had been praising the King of Chu in a low voice became even more excited and looked at the King of Chu with reverence.

At this time, the handsome young man in blue next to him saw that his friend was paying so much attention to the King of Chu, and couldn't help but ask: "Why, Shuangxing, you seem to be very optimistic about His Highness the King of Chu."

After Zheng Shuangxing watched King Chu leave, there were still words of praise for King Chu on the road below. He smiled deeply. When asked by his friend, he asked:

"Wu Qian, what is your impression of King Chu?"

The man in blue named Wu Qian couldn't help but frown when he heard his friend's question:

"According to what I know, the King of Chu had no intention of competing for the throne when he was a prince in Kyoto, and wanted to be a carefree prince.

Even when he arrived at Lingyang Mansion, he just wandered around the capital city at will. He never interfered in the affairs of the counties, and he never issued special instructions. He just let each county run its own operations.

If it hadn't been for the assassination of the governor of Huiyang County, which made the King of Chu furious, the King of Chu might not even have thought of going to inspect various counties. "

In Wu Qian's eyes, the King of Chu seems to have no ambitions. They say that the new official has three things to do when he takes office. As the King of Chu who owns the entire fiefdom, he has always been low-key and kind. Everything he did was caused by Chu Qingyan's fight with the three major forces. The King of Chu would only take care of it when he was angry.

Wu Qian is the son of Colonel Wu just now.

"Yes!" Zheng Shuangxing let out a long sigh. Listening to Wu Qian's image of the King of Chu, he knew that it was not only Wu Qian, but also the image of the King of Chu among most of the forces in other counties. He was indifferent to the world and needed to When King Chu adjusts, King Chu will stand up.

However, because the governor of Huiyang County was assassinated, the King of Chu, who had been quiet for three months, was forced out. Then his colleague Lu Changming left, and the Lord Bo Lin Changhai "voluntarily begged" the King of Chu to let him go to Hancheng.

Xun Yu, a great talent who had recently taken refuge with the King of Chu, was now a co-president of Lingyang Prefecture, and Yuwen Chengdu became a captain of the guard army.

The guard commander Chen Wei and Mo Zhifu are now following the King of Chu to inspect various counties. Everything is very natural.

So, who is the real controller of Dufu City, the largest city in Lingyang Mansion now?

The King of Chu just did everything a prince should do, and now most people think that the King of Chu is indifferent and uncontroversial.

But it only took five months for King Chu to come to Lingyang Mansion.

"Shuangxing, do you plan to follow King Chu?"

Wu Qian was very familiar with Zheng Shuangxing, and looked at Zheng Shuangxing with his eyes still in the direction of the disappeared figure of King Chu.

Zheng Shuangxing turned to Wu Qian and said gently: "Wu Qian, if I want to follow the King of Chu, will you go with me?"

Wu Qian directly patted his hard chest and said: "Of course, which one of us will follow the other? I will go wherever you go. How can you still trick me?"

Zheng Shuangxing smiled brightly.

"Hey, aren't those two scumbags Shen Qiu and Lin Qi facing us!"

Wu Qian stood up and suddenly saw a group of young men having a drink and talking in the restaurant opposite, two of them stood out the most.

One is Shen Qiu, the son of Shen Juncheng just now.

There is also Lin Qi, the son of Lin Gongcao.

Wherever there are people, there will be fights, and where there are fights, there will be factions.

Shen Juncheng could take the next step and become a county guard. He always thought that Zheng Shunfa had no ability and was just lucky enough to become a county guard. If he could be a county guard, he would definitely do better than Zheng Shunfa.

Therefore, Shen Qiu and Zheng Shuangxing did not deal with them.

But Shen Qiu was always suppressed by Zheng Shuangxing. Even if he attracted a group of young men, it was enough for Zheng Shuangxing to have Wu Qian beside him.

Zheng Shuangxing frowned slightly when he thought of his brother Zheng Shuangyang being trapped by Shen Qiu the day before yesterday.

At this time, Wu Qian said again: "Shuangxing, isn't that your brother Zheng Shuangyang? He is also among a group of young men."

Zheng Shuangxing immediately looked up and saw his younger brother drinking and having fun among a group of young men. He was so happy!
