Chapter 103 The Great Practitioner
Ye Yunke and the middle-aged man walked in front, and Meng Yong, the magistrate of Chuzhou, led a group of people behind them, all of them were trembling with fear.
Ye Yunke's words just now caused the death of a deputy commander.
The current emperor of the Dali Dynasty was at its peak, so the position of crown prince had not yet been determined. However, there were three candidates who were qualified to compete for this position and inherit the throne.
The Ye Yunke in front of him was the seventh prince of the Dali Dynasty. He was one of the three candidates. His biological mother was a noble concubine of the current dynasty and the most favored concubine of the current emperor.
This is Ye Yunke's advantage.
But the weakness is also obvious. He is not born to the queen, and he is the seventh eldest son. He is still young and his cultivation is far from enough.
Therefore, if Ye Yunke is established as the crown prince now, there is absolutely no hope for Ye Yunke. Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor will not be in a hurry, so Ye Yunke still has a long time.
He needs to work harder to get a chance.
It was still a bit surprising that this extremely noble prince came to Chuzhou City in person.
"His Highness took down Sun Qian to show his favor to him?" the middle-aged man next to him asked.
"That's right." Ye Yunke smiled.
"He is ignorant, so why should His Highness be so polite to him." The middle-aged man said calmly.
In his opinion, Ye Yunke personally went to the inn to find Li Fan and recruit him, which had already given Li Fan enough face.
But not only did Li Fan not accept it, on the contrary, his attitude was very unfriendly.
Ye Yunke smiled, there are some things that can only be understood.
"Sir, do you think Li Fan can leave Chuzhou City alive?" Ye Yunke said.
"Difficult." The middle-aged man responded.
Although the princess arrived at the palace and wanted to protect Li Fan from death.
However, someone in that imperial city now wants Li Fan to die.
Even if he doesn't do it himself, as long as those people's will is there, it will be difficult for Li Fan to survive.
Your Majesty will not care about the life and death of a young man, and is willing to give Ye Qinghuang face. After all, Your Majesty is a well-known filial son, so how can he make the Holy Queen Mother sad.
But His Majesty doesn't care, someone does.
As long as Your Majesty ignores this matter, Li Fan will not survive.
Although Ye Qinghuang has the name of a princess, she can actually only be regarded as a princess of the former dynasty. Her will cannot save Li Fan's life.
"Sir, how about we make a bet?" Ye Yunke said.
"Oh?" the middle-aged man asked: "How do you want to bet, Your Highness?"
"I bet Li Fan won't die." Ye Yunke said.
"Why does Your Highness think so?" the middle-aged man said.
"My cousin returned to the palace. I guess the main purpose is to prevent my father from issuing this order, and other people will not do it openly." Ye Yunke said: "Also, I heard that when my cousin was young, She is extremely smart, and she must have improved a lot after so many years outside. Since she wants to protect the young man, how can she have no backup plan? "
"Now that the young man has appeared in Chuzhou City, I guess that Wen Ruyu is not the only one who has arrived in Chuzhou City." Ye Yunke smiled and said, "Li Shan, there are others."
"Your Highness is smart." The middle-aged man praised him and said, "But who is the person we want to see?"
Is it enough weight?
"We'll see." Ye Yunke turned around and said, "Meng Yong."
"I have a humble position." Meng Yong, the magistrate of Chuzhou, came forward. He was quite frightened when he heard the conversation between the two. Fortunately, he was not involved in the matter between Lishan and the Chen family.
During such a sensitive period, it was better for him to be cautious.
"The demons are making trouble in Chuzhou City. I heard that you, the governor of Chuzhou, didn't even show your face?" Ye Yunke looked at Meng Yong with a half-smile.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I deserve to die." Meng Yong knelt on the ground with a bang. This Zhizhou of the Condensation Realm did not have the demeanor of a great cultivator.
However, he was very honest and did not make any quibbles. He also knew that quibbles were meaningless.
He just saw how Sun Qian died.
Ye Yunke said, since Sun Qian can be allowed to die, he can also be allowed to die.
"You really deserve to die." Ye Yunke said coldly: "The government did not kill demons, but the Chuzhou family participated in it. The imperial court transferred you to Chuzhou to serve as the prefect, but you, the Chuzhou prefect, can't even suppress the aristocratic family. Where is the majesty of the imperial court? ?”
Meng Yongzhan was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.
"Take someone to the Cui family and invite Cui Lengzhou, the head of the Cui family, to the Zhizhou Mansion. Just say that I have something to talk to him about. Note the word 'please'." Ye Yunke emphasized.
"Yes, Your Highness." Meng Yong knew that his life was saved. He got up and left with his people, heading to the Cui family to invite people.
I thought that Prince Dali had just arrived in Chuzhou City, but he seemed to know everything that happened in Chuzhou City.
These royal children are not fuel-efficient lamps.
…………
Li Fan returned to the courtyard.
"Junior brother, this Ye Yunke is the seventh prince of the Da Li Dynasty and the son of the Da Li Emperor's favorite concubine. He is here today to win over you. It seems that he is ambitious." Wen Ruyu said.
"Is the competition among Prince Dali fierce?" Li Fan asked.
"Emperor Da Li has many heirs. He did not establish a prince, so he must have allowed them to compete. However, the competition for imperial power has been the most brutal in all dynasties. It is not uncommon for brothers to kill each other. Although Ye Yunke's mother is a favorite concubine, his chances are slim. Emperor Li is not a lustful and mediocre emperor, so how can he be influenced by women in the selection of his successor?"
Wen Ruyu said: "This Ye Yunke is probably just wishful thinking."
"Perhaps, he has no choice." Li Fan whispered, thinking of his senior sister's father, who was the brother of the current emperor.
"This is true. For the princes who are fighting for imperial power, as long as they take action, there is no turning back. Failure means death." Wen Ruyu felt a little boring. He hated these power schemes the most. Because of this, the human heart is deceitful, like a demon, and will do whatever it takes to achieve its goals.
Don't look at Corporal Ye Yunke Lixian, but he is just a junior brother who has value.
What's more, Ye Yunke, a mere seventh prince, is he worthy of recruiting his junior brother?
Just claiming to be noble.
To Wen Ruyu, this prince's status is like dirt.
"Boom!"
At this time, Wen Ruyu and Li Fan only felt their hearts beating, the ground was shaking unsteadily, and the surrounding houses seemed to be shaking, as if there was an earthquake.
"Boom..."
Another violent tremor shook their bodies, and dust fell from the eaves of the courtyard.
Wen Ruyu raised her eyes and looked in the distance. The sword intent surged from her body and spread around, covering an extremely vast space in an instant.
At the same time, everyone around the inn ran out of the street, their hearts shaking violently.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
what happened?
The turmoil between the Chen family and the demons ended last night, and Prince Dali came to the inn early this morning.
Now, there is another turmoil.
As expected, it has been one wave after another.
This place had suffered a disaster last night, and many buildings are still under repair. As the earth shook, those buildings still under construction showed signs of collapse again.
The hearts of the people were beating harder and harder, as if a foot was stepping on their hearts.
"There."
Someone shouted, pointing to the sky.
Everyone looked up and were extremely shocked. They saw a tall figure striding towards them high in the sky in the distance. Every step they took covered a huge distance.
Every step made the ground shake.
Many people were shocked. They thought it came from the ground, which caused the earth to shake.
But the other party stepped from the air. What level of cultivation is this?
Wen Ruyu's figure landed on the house and she looked over there from a distance, her body filled with sword intent.
Li Fan then came to him.
It seems that some people are willing to pay the price to kill him.
The tall figure reached the sky above everyone's heads in a few steps. He was wearing a cloak made of animal skins, draped casually on his body. He had a wine gourd hanging on his right hand and a big knife on his back. A powerful force filled his body. It was so heavy that half the city could hardly breathe.
Is he from the imperial court?
How many monks were sent out to kill a disciple who left the mountain?
The tall figure in the air stopped and stood high in the sky. He picked up the wine gourd and drank fiercely, and some wine splashed down from the air.
"Happy." The man spoke loudly, his voice filling the void.
He lowered his head and glanced down, with a look of disdain in his eyes, and said loudly: "Who is Li Fan?"
"Sure enough..."
No one responded, but the figure sensed Wen Ruyu's sword intent.
"You are not a peak swordsman in the fifth realm." The man said and looked at Li Fan next to Wen Ruyu, and said with a smile: "It should be you."
"Who are you?" Li Fan raised his head and asked.
"Someone asked me to kill you. You are a young man. I shouldn't take action, but I owe a favor. You know that the debt of favor is the hardest to repay, so I can only come and kill you." The person said: "As for who I am , is not important.”
In another place in Chuzhou City, Ye Yunke also looked up at the person coming and asked, "Sir, do you know this person?"
The middle-aged man next to him nodded, he naturally recognized it.
"Zhou Ding." He said, causing Ye Yunke to show a strange expression and said: "I don't know who invited him here."
Obviously, he knew the person coming.
There is a great general in the imperial court who is good at killing. His troops are brave and good at fighting, killing demons and demons, and have outstanding achievements.
But this general was very murderous and even killed a lot of humans. Later he was impeached and some people wanted him dead.
In the end, he was bailed out and expelled from the army, and later disappeared.
It is this Zhou Ding.
Unexpectedly, he appears here now.
However, Zhou Ding is indeed a good candidate. At least, no one will know who he is.
"Since Your Highness believes that Li Fan can survive, then who will come from Lishan?" the middle-aged man said.
"Just watch." Ye Yunke said.
Li Fan looked at Zhou Ding and asked, "Are you sure you can kill me?"
"This sword cultivator's sword is good, but his cultivation at the top of the Five Realms cannot protect you, so you can only die." Zhou Ding walked down, and when he fell, everyone felt unable to move. Pressing with huge force.
How many great cultivators is this Zhou Ding?
"Huh?" Just when Zhou Ding was about to take action, he suddenly looked up and saw sword intent flowing in the sky. The clouds in the sky dispersed, as if they had also turned into sword intent.
A powerful sword came to the sky above Chuzhou City, and then fell. The people around the inn looked horrified.
Is Chuzhou City crazy today?
"Who do you want to die?" A voice came from the void.
