The Lantern Festival was left to the little marquis Cao Lie. Li Chi actually had nothing to worry about. The significance of this Lantern Festival was to let everyone see how prosperous Yuzhou was under the rule of King Ning.

Sometimes, the significance of publicity is so great that it is not inferior to a big victory on the battlefield.

But everything is more than one side. This lantern festival will attract countless people and spies from the enemy.

It may be not just a spy, they will take advantage of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sneak into Yuzhou and find an opportunity to assassinate King Ning.

In such a world, the number of assassinations faced by leaders from all sides is far higher than the number of battles on the battlefield.

The people may not have thought that so many dangerous things would happen in places they could not see.

It has to be said that the Tingwei Army and the spy guards under King Ning also tried many ways to assassinate the enemy's leaders.

This is because assassination, no matter how tragic, is the lowest-priced way to win.

If a person like Ning Wang Li Chi is assassinated, the Ning army, which looks as solid as a rock, will collapse instantly.

So when it comes to Lantern Festival, the busiest people are not Cao Lie, but the people from Tingwei Mansion and the spy guards.

They must be eliminated before danger occurs and must be killed before the assassin commits an assassin.

Some people still don’t understand that if it is so dangerous, why does King Ning show up in public?

So most people are just the common people.

After these few months, the news that Qingzhou and Jingzhou have been under the rule of King Ning should have spread far-reachingly.

At least the big families in Jingzhou already know it.

Therefore, they had to change their position of chips in advance and began to send people to try their best to contact Li Chi. Even if they couldn't get in touch with Li Chi, they had to try their best to contact the people under Li Chi.

Many people are already upset, why can't I see that that guy from a poor boy can actually hold half of the country?

Suddenly, half of the world belonged to King Ning, and the shock this brought them was unimaginable.

It was at this time that some unexpected things were happening in Daxing City.

The envoys of the power of several parties actually met in Daxing City during this colder winter than before.

As the representative of the court, the general under Prince Wu's tent, Zhang He looked at the person sitting in front of him, and his face was always ugly.

He was the general of the palace soldiers and the subordinate whom Prince Wu valued the most. After his brother Zhang Yi died in battle, he was known as the second shot in the army, second only to Prince Wu in the ranking of gun use.

Originally, he had to return to Daxing City this time, which was a shame for Zuo Wuwei.

At this time, the envoy sitting opposite him was the envoy of the great thief Li Brother Hu whom Prince Wu and they had been fighting for two years.

Moreover, such a person, a humble and shameless person in Zhang He's eyes, dared to be arrogant in front of him.

"If the court wants to truce and want to deal with Ning King Li Chi, then we must show sincerity."

The speaker is one of the advisers under Brother Li, and has a nickname called Tie Abacus.

This man who looks like he has a goatee and wears a brocade dress but looks like a stolen clothes, has a great status in the Li family army.

The clothes are so expensive, both fabric and tailoring are very particular, but I don’t know why they still look so rustic when worn on him.

His name is Guan Lianxing. He used to be a guy who was walking in the world and cheated on people who thought he was fortune telling.

Speaking of which, what he did should be the same as what Li Chi's master Changmei Taoist did, but it was very different.

One of the principles taught by the Taoist Changmei to Li Chi is that everything has its own standards.

The Changmei Taoist never deceives the poor people. Even if he cheats the rich, he will not ask for anything excessively.

But if this Guanxing star wants to take a fancy to someone's things, money, or even women, he will use all means.

After the thief Li Brother Hu became famous, he went to surrender, and he was also considered an old man under Li Brother Hu.

Although this person is ugly and vulgar, he is really easy to use, extremely smart and scheming.

Brother Li Hu was in battle, and he had many ideas. Because of his great contribution, Brother Li Hu made him the Marquis of Wanhu.

After he said that, he looked at Zhang He: "The court wants to deal with Ning Wang Li Chi, so he wants to gather everyone up. But General Zhang, your condescending look makes me feel very uncomfortable."

Sitting on the other side was Shi Fenghui, one of the four generals under Yang Xuanji, who was as famous as An Nuan.

Shi Fenghui was also the general of the Da Chu government. He was bribed by Yang Xuanji with a heavy gift and led his army to surrender to him.

During the battle, this man made great achievements and had a very high status in the Tianming Army.

Although he also came to negotiate with the court, as the representative of the King of Destiny, he should have put pressure on the court with Brother Li Hu.

But he also looked down on Guan Lianxing, but instead felt a sense of sharing the same hatred with Zhang He.

Fundamentally speaking, whether it is him, Yang Xuanji, the king of destiny he represented, or the court represented by Zhang He, they are all noble forces.

In their eyes, Brother Li’s people were civilian forces formed by mud legs, and they looked down upon them from their hearts.

However, it is useless to look down on me, because Brother Li is indeed powerful.

Zhang He took a breath and made his tone less cold.

He knew that Guan Lianxing was extremely important under Brother Li. He also had a cousin named Guan Liantang, who used a slash-horse-sword and had the courage to be inappropriate for thousands of men.

These two brothers, one is a counselor and the other is a military general, can be regarded as Brother Li's right-hand man.

Zhang He asked: "Then tell me, Li thief... what does Li Dazhuan want?"

Brother Li was named the overlord of Jiangdong. He had an unparalleled reputation among several Jiangdong prefectures, but Zhang He was unwilling to call a big thief the overlord.

However, in the place where Brother Li raised his army, the people in Yuezhou were more willing to call him King Chuang.

Guan Lianxing said: "The meaning of a tyrant is very simple. First, the court must recognize the tyrant's status and be on par with the Emperor of Chu. Second, if the tyrant wants the tyrant to withdraw his troops temporarily, then the court will offer 10 million taels of silver, 1 million stones of grain, 100,000 pieces of cotton cloth, and 10,000 pieces of brocade to the tyrant every year."

Zhang He's eyes narrowed and gradually showed murderous aura.

Before he could speak, Shi Fenghui, who came on behalf of Yang Xuanji, sneered: "After going back, let Brother Li go and sell it - butt. With his current reputation, he can sell it about 10 million taels."

Guan Lianxing said angrily: "Do you think we can't kill you in this Daxing City?"

Shi Fenghui said: "Do you think I can't kill you in this room?"

The atmosphere suddenly became cold, and the three of them sat like this, as if they couldn't help but act in the next breath.

“Enough.”

Finally, Zhang He spoke, "The lion asked for something that the overlord asked for. The court will not give it to you. Don't even think about it. If you are sincere, don't try like this again."

Guan Lianxing said: "Since you think I'm too much, why not ask your brother, what order did he come with the Destiny King?"

When talking about the word "brother", the sarcastic tone made Zhang He and Shi Fenghui feel a little embarrassed.

Guan Lianxing snorted: "You pretentious people think they are noble, so they are naturally close, but in fact..."

He pointed to Shi Fenghui: "For the Great Chu court, he is more hateful than me. I am an official, forced to rebel, and he is betraying the court!"

"Speak serious!"

Zhang He glared at Guan Lianxing.

Then he looked at Zhang He: "What conditions does the King of Destiny want to discuss with the court again."

When we opened and reunited, we didn't know how to speak.

The conditions for the King of Heavenly Destiny Yang Xuanji are... If the King of Heavenly Destiny wants the King of Heavenly Destiny to withdraw his troops, or not attack Daxing City for the time being, then ask His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu to abdicate and abdicate the throne to the King of Heavenly Destiny.

He was just talking about sarcasm to Guan Lianxing, so he knew that once he spoke out the request of the King of Destiny, that ugly guy would definitely try his best to dig at him.

"I won't talk about it for now."

Shi Fenghui said: "Since what we are going to talk about now is how to fight against Ning Wang Li Chi, then let's talk about the serious matter first."

He looked at Guan Lianxing: "Your hometown is almost raided by Tang Pidian. I heard that within three months, Tang Pidian led hundreds of thousands of troops to more than 60 cities in Suzhou. You are pretending to be very imposing here, but you are already in great panic in your heart, right?"

Guan Lianxing said: "Your Tianming King is better. Tens of thousands of people from Ning Wang Li Chi rushed into Jingzhou. Xie Xiu, the general under Tianming King, surrendered without even fighting. Jingzhou has all fallen behind Ning Wang Li Chi. If your Tianming King wants to go back to Shuzhou, you can't go back?"

Speaking of this, the three of them not only did not continue to scold, but suddenly became quiet.

Because they suddenly realized that what they said seemed to be ridiculing the other party, but in fact they were ridiculing themselves.

After a long time, Guan Lianxing said: "The Overlord said that if he joins forces to attack Ning King Li Chi, His Majesty must admit that the Overlord is the same as His Majesty. If he does not agree, there is no need to talk about it."

Shi Fenghui said: "The King of Heavenly Destiny means that if Prince Wu's army is the lord, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny is willing to support him."

Zhang He was silent for a moment and stood up: "You guys go back first and wait for me to ask King Wu for instructions."

King Wu was not in Daxing City. He said he would ask King Wu for instructions, but he just didn't want these people to know that King Wu was not there.

Once they know, they will join forces with the court to attack Ning Wang Li Chi?

The next moment they will transform from this hostile state to a brother and allies immediately.

They will rush back to their respective camps as soon as possible, and soon the army of both sides will attack Daxing City.

However, neither Yang Xuanji nor Li Brother Hu had expected that Prince Wu would go to Yuzhou at this time.

Only Prince Wu can do this. Although Prince Wu dared not show up as his real identity, he had to go in person. He wanted to take a closer look at what Ning Jun looked like.

The alliance initiated by the court was just to delay time for Prince Wu.

At this same time, in Yuzhou City, the backyard of a commercial bank.

Prince Wu sat in the yard with a calm face. This was the Yuzhou he was familiar with, but it was no longer the Yuzhou of the imperial court.
