Steel Dynasty - Chapter 109

[Chapter 109 Undercurrent]

“Li San.”

Pang Yukun and Xiao Ming looked outside and saw Li San walking in.

What happened last time, Wang Xuan suffered a lot in prison. When Dongshi was beheaded, Wang Xuan was replaced by a death row prisoner.

Because his hair was disheveled along the way, and the focus of the execution was Wang Chengchou, Wang Xuan did not receive too much attention. However, Wang Xuan was still recovering at home because of his serious injuries.

Li San will be in charge of the secret guard affairs for the time being.

Li San came closer and said, “Your Highness, I am here just for this matter. Your Highness must not go to Qin’s house.”

“Why?” Li San’s expression was serious, which made Xiao Ming feel uncomfortable. premonition.

“Following His Highness’s orders, the secret guards have been monitoring the major wealthy families these days. They have discovered that many tribes of wealthy families have entered Qingzhou City. The person Qin Chuanyun invited His Highness to the banquet this time was not what he himself thought, but It was a request from the visiting wealthy family,” Li San said.

Pang Yukun’s expression changed, “In addition to the four big families of the Wang family, the Sun family, the Qin family, and the Wei family, there are also many other small wealthy families in the six states. This decree also involves their interests.”

” The sword has been unsheathed and cannot be taken back. Since they are going to arm-wrestle with me, I will let them see how powerful they are. Some people can use virtue to transform them, while some people can only use swords to make them bleed.” He slammed the table and said, “Since they are going to hold a Hongmen Banquet, we will use their tricks to catch all these wealthy families.”

Pang Yukun said nervously: “Your Highness, you must not do it. You are putting yourself at risk. Your Highness cannot make any mistakes now. Otherwise, it will be easy for relatives to hate enemies.”

“Your Highness, Pang Changshi is right, you can’t take risks,” Li San also advised.

“If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you won’t catch the tiger’s cubs. These wealthy families are a cancer in my fiefdom. This is an opportunity to eradicate those disobedient wealthy families in one fell swoop. Otherwise, what reason will I have to eliminate them one by one in the future?”

Xiao Ming He has made up his mind that if these potential threats are not eliminated, he will not be able to sleep peacefully.

“But how can His Highness ensure his own safety?” Seeing Xiao Ming’s resolute attitude, Pang Yukun had no choice but to plan a way for Xiao Ming to escape unscathed.

Xiao Ming is not a fool. These wealthy families will probably threaten him at the banquet and ask him to cancel the decree or kill him.

This is a game between him and the wealthy family. Whoever loses will forever withdraw from the historical stage of Qingzhou.

“It’s very simple. To change the venue of the banquet, just say that it is very boring in the Qin family. Why not let them go out of the city with me to have a spring outing, drink wine and enjoy the scenery.” Xiao Ming said lightly.

Pang Yukun and Li San looked at each other and said, “Your Highness really doesn’t play by common sense. This is an idea. This way, we will have time to arrange it.”

“Yes, our secret guards can also arrange for people to sneak into the entourage. The servants secretly protect His Highness,” Li San said.

“In that case, let’s do it this way. These wealthy families are so eager to coerce me that they will not give up this opportunity. Outside the city, they will think it is easier to do it.” Xiao Ming said.

After deciding on the matter, Pang Yukun carefully considered the location for the spring outing, and left the Governor’s Mansion while discussing with Li San.

Speaking of which, Xiao Ming himself was a little worried. After all, he was not invulnerable to Nezha, but this was indeed the perfect opportunity to lure the snake out of its hole.

After all, there is no shop like this after passing this village. If these dissident people hide in his fiefdom in the future, it will be even more worrying.

Pang Yukun and the two went to prepare themselves. Xiao Ming thought that he also had to do some protection. He thought that he might as well go there wearing a breastplate this time.

This breastplate was naturally a piece of protective equipment that Xiao Ming had the Equipment Department specially build for him. He could wear it without being noticed by outsiders. He wanted to wear plate armor, but that would be too obvious.

The news of the change of location quickly spread to the Qin family. Qin Chuanyun said with a smile: “Everyone, His Highness seems to be in a good mood. He said that he will go out with everyone on the Xiaoqing River for a spring outing tomorrow. Why don’t we just eat the banquet by ourselves today?”

In the Qin family compound, there were more than thirty people from the six states’ wealthy families, large and small, including the Sun family and the Wei family.

After hearing the news, many people looked disappointed. At this time, Sun Yuanzhi said: “Brother Qin, this is not necessary. Since His Highness is not coming, I won’t bother Brother Qin to spend money. After all, my brother can’t do it these days.” But it’s a lot of losses.”

Qin Chuanyun’s expression stiffened. He didn’t feel bad if he didn’t mention this. However, when Sun Yuanzhi mentioned this, he thought of the land and Wubao he had handed over.

Sun Yuanzhi showed an unnoticed smile and continued: “Farewell, we will meet again another day.”

“We will meet again another day.” As he spoke, more than twenty wealthy families held their hands to Qin Chuanyun and followed Sun Yuanzhi. Yuanzhi left the Qin family compound.

Wei Hong walked up to Qin Chuanyun and said, “This Sun Yuanzhi still looks arrogant. Hmm, the Wang family is gone, so I don’t know what else he has to complain about.”

“Hmph, I guess he felt unhappy seeing that we had taken the lead in responding to the decree, hahaha…” Qin Chuanyun suddenly laughed.

Outside the door, Sun Yuanzhi and a group of wealthy people did not go far before they stopped in front of a residential house. They looked around and saw no one following them, so the group went straight into the residence.

“Except for Sun Yuan, is King Qi aware of it? If so, we’d better run away for our lives. We are no match for the Qingzhou Army.” One person said worriedly.

“Escape? Where are you going? Don’t you want your house and property?” one person retorted.

“Then just waiting to die? What’s more important, money or life.”

“…”

In the room, a group of people immediately became quarrelsome.

“Everyone, please stop arguing.” Sun Yuanzhi suddenly shouted, “I, Sun Yuanzhi, have endured the humiliation and bear the burden until now just to avenge Wang Yuanwai. Seeing the Wang family’s Wubao being surrounded, my Sun family didn’t send out one person or one horse. It’s not just to be paralyzed. King Qi? Are you worthy of the dead Wang Yuanwai?

“You, Sun Yuanzhi, don’t threaten us with this.” road.

“Hmph, you can leave, but I, Sun Yuanzhi, will not stop. Let’s see if His Highness will bypass you then.” Sun Yuanzhi had a hint of madness in his eyes.

Everyone fell silent immediately. The use of the banquet to coerce and assassinate King Qi was secretly instigated by Sun Yuanzhi. According to the plan, they would suddenly attack at tonight’s dinner to blackmail the emperor and order the princes.

When the time comes, by controlling King Qi’s life and death in their hands, they can make King Qi take back his decree and become a puppet of the wealthy family.
