Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

Chapter 306: Prelude to Peace

Wu country.

Wudu.

Ning Yuanzhou, the former leader of the Six Paths Hall who escaped from the Tianmen Pass battlefield, was destined to fail in his wish to retire to the mountains.

Despite his desperate attempts to hide and even faking his death to escape, people who knew him didn't believe he would die.

His character and weaknesses have been seen clearly.

The power of Zhang Song, the Prime Minister of Wu State, still lured him out.

During the Jingcheng mission that year, he encountered Zhao Xu's conspiracy and suffered a great defeat. Ning Yuanzhou became more and more depressed and was alienated by Emperor Wu Yang Xingyuan.

In addition, all parties within the Wu Kingdom were eyeing the control of the Liudao Hall.

Ning Yuanzhou, a maverick, upright and unyielding man who refused to side with any side, stood out so clearly in the midst of the power struggles in the court.

As Emperor Wu distrusted him, he was eventually abandoned and sent to the Tianmen Pass battlefield to die by the new leader of Liudao Hall, who was jealous of his talent.

Ning Yuanzhou has great talent. Not only Zhao Xu thinks so, but Zhang Song, the chief minister of Wu State, also knows this.

Unfortunately, nepotism is never something that can be avoided. It just depends on whether the person in power has an accurate vision of people.

Zhang Song obviously did not judge people well, and he chose Zhao Ji, who was fully committed to the "money" career and completely abandoned the main business of Liudaotang, to take over as the head of Liudaotang.

As a result, Liudaotang, the first-class intelligence system of the nine countries reformed and built by Ningyuanzhou, no longer exists.

Intelligence organizations are also very expensive, especially lower-level organizations, everyone needs funds to survive.

Soon, the entire intelligence of Liudaotang was captured by Zhao Xu's side, who had been keeping an eye on and infiltrating it.

In the Battle of Tianmen Pass, if the enemy had not been released during the twelve-hour battle, the Wu Kingdom would have been defeated earlier and more miserably.

The front line was defeated and Emperor Wu was captured. To be able to become the prime minister of the country, Zhang Song's scheming and ability far exceeded that of ordinary people. The first thing he did was to blame Liudaotang.

The degree of desolation of Liudaotang was beyond Zhang Song's expectations, but no matter how bad the people he employed turned out, he had to bear the consequences himself.

Emperor Wu was captured. Now, in the court of Wu, there are three forces: Prince of Danyang Yang Xingjian, Empress Xiao Yan, and Prime Minister Zhang Song.

The Prince of Danyang was powerful, and his ascension to the throne was not what Zhang Song, who was extremely power-hungry and eager to seize power, wanted to see.

Queen Xiao Yan claimed that she was pregnant and was 90% sure that the baby was a prince. Although Zhang Song had his doubts, he had a vested interest in the matter.

However, he immediately expressed his support, stating that the unborn prince was the legitimate heir and that Prince Danyang could only temporarily serve as regent.

For the three forces, whether Emperor Wu Yang Xingyuan can return home safely is not very important.

The King of Danyang hoped that Emperor Wu would die outside. Zhang Song issued an imperial decree to support the prince to ascend the throne so that he could take power and become regent. Xiao Yan only cared about her own child and whether he could inherit the throne.

The three parties each had their own selfish motives, but on the surface they were making a big fuss, seeking peace and welcoming back Emperor An.

Nanli asked for peace.

During this time, Anguo became Nanli, and the national situation changed drastically. The sudden changes and obstacles involved were not something that ordinary people could handle.

The choice of the leader of the delegation at this moment is particularly important.

Looking at the whole Wu Kingdom, Zhang Song believed that only Ning Yuanzhou could shoulder this important task.

dark night.

The Ning family’s old house was hung with white cloth.

After years of fighting at Tianmen Pass, the old leader of the Six Paths Hall, Song, was ultimately unable to see Ning Yuanzhou for the last time.

Zhao Ji led a group of subordinates and surrounded the old house.

At this moment, outside the mourning hall, he pinched the neck of a thin young man and yelled:

"Ning Yuanzhou, I know you are not dead!"

"If you don't come out, I will not be polite to the Ning family's old house and this little brother Yuanlu!"

"Cough cough..."

Yuanlu was born with a physical defect, so he could only learn the Mohist mechanism, and did not make much progress in martial arts. At this time, his face turned red, and he suppressed a cough and said stubbornly:

"We all worked together, and this is still the place where the old hall master's funeral is held!"

"Ning Tou'er has died in the battle at Tianmen Pass, and his body was sent back by General Xiao himself. Why are you still holding on to him?"

"Ning Yuanzhou will die?"

Zhao Ji drew his sword and put it on Yuanlu's neck.

At this moment, he was a little crazy. Zhang Song had already given him an ultimatum that he could not atone for his sins if he could not find Ning Yuanzhou.

Zhang Song will no longer think about his favorite concubine, who will inevitably be held responsible.

Zhao Ji knew that if he didn't do something, his death would be near due to the backlash of making money carefree and neglecting his original business.

Zhao Ji may not take Yuanlu to heart, but Ning Yuanzhou cannot.

This brother whom he raised is now the last relative he has.

"Ugh!"

With a sigh, Ning Yuanzhou, who had been hiding in the dark, no longer hid.

"Everyone should do their own thing, isn't that good?"

"You have to force me to show up!"

"You bought thirteen Zhang's Suos in one go, and I knew you were not dead!" Zhao Ji was not surprised to see Ning Yuanzhou.

He didn't want to force anyone to show up. It would be good if Ning Yuanzhou died like this. Unfortunately, things were beyond human control.

Ning Yuanzhou smiled helplessly. He had saved the Xiao family, the mother's clan of Queen Xiao Yan, at Tianmen Pass.

It was impossible to hide completely or fake his death, not to mention that he had been found by other forces first.

"Boss Ning, you are still alive!" Yuan Lu was overjoyed to see Ning Yuanzhou, but he wanted to stand up but was pinned down and couldn't.

"I'm already here, let the guy go!" Ning Yuanzhou frowned and said to Zhao Ji.

"Let him go?"

"hey-hey……"

"Take it down together!"

Although Zhang Song had ordered that the person must be found, Zhao Ji's hatred for Ning Yuanzhou was deep-rooted.

Now people have found it and led it out.

Of course Zhao Ji wanted to take revenge for his personal grudge. He couldn't kill the person, but he had to give the other person a good beating.

"Sir, is that Ningtou?"

……

Although Ning Yuanzhou no longer holds any official position, his prestige in the hearts of the people in Liudao Hall remains undiminished.

"A bunch of trash!"

"Those who disobey will die!"

Seeing that none of his men dared to take action, Zhao Ji became furious, and his heart was filled with hatred towards Ning Yuanzhou. He then issued a strict order.

"Shhhhh..."

"Ah ah ah..."

The crowd had no choice but to draw their weapons and attack Ning Yuanzhou.

"You are really bullying me!" Ning Yuanzhou was quite angry at Zhao Ji's excessive demands and unscrupulous behavior.

Today, although his strength is not like Ren Ruyi and others, who have advanced resources and their strength is rapidly transforming and advancing by leaps and bounds.

However, after his defeat in the battle of Jingcheng, he studied harder and practiced harder, and finally reached the first level.

"Bang bang bang..."

Ning Yuanzhou moved his body and turned into a phantom, wandering among the crowd, and made his moves with his true energy.

Soon he came close to Zhao Ji.

"Stop!" Zhao Ji had obviously anticipated Ning Yuanzhou's martial arts, and at this moment he placed his sword on Yuanlu's neck threateningly.

"Zhao Ji!" Ning Yuanzhou was not someone who could be easily dealt with, not to mention that he had already stepped into the first rank. He immediately shouted with true energy, and at the same time, he used his special skills in the air to strike out.

"Hunyuan Palm!"

"Oh!"

Zhao Ji was stunned by the sound and was immediately knocked away by a palm. During the operation, the sword fell into Ning Yuanzhou's hands.

"Qiang!"

"What a good sword, what a pity..." The long sword made a slight sound, and Ning Yuanzhou sighed slightly.

"Boss Ning, you're so awesome!" Ning Yuanzhou showed off his power, and Yuanlu was extremely excited.

"What else do you have to say?" After a moment, Ning Yuanzhou held the sword and put it on the neck of Zhao Ji who stood up again.

"Ning Yuanzhou, you don't dare to kill me!"

"Don't you want to know about the news about Chai Ming and the others accompanying the emperor and the Tiandao Clan?"

This is Zhao Ji’s trump card. Compared to him, Ning Yuanzhou values ​​friendship more.

Chai Ming and others are as close as brothers to Ning Yuanzhou, so it is impossible for him not to care about them.

However, Zhao Ji made a wrong calculation today.

After he finished speaking, Ning Yuanzhou stood there in a daze. Then he slowly moved his sword away from Zhao Ji's neck, and his eyes began to turn red.

"That's reasonable!"

Zhao Ji didn't pay much attention. When he saw the other party move the sword away, he thought that his threat had worked, and his expression began to become arrogant.

next moment.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang..."

The precious sword suddenly trembled and hissed, and the true energy surged through the body, and then a sword light flashed.

"You, how dare you..." Zhao Ji covered his neck. He couldn't understand why the other party dared to attack him.

Ning Yuanzhou didn't even look at him, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Chai Ming and others are already dead!"
