As the breeze gradually picked up, Li Xuan walked to the window and looked at the night sky across Yangzhou.
At this time, there were no traces of stars, and the clouds were thick in the sky. But strangely, Li Xuan didn't feel any depression in her heart, but felt extremely relaxed.
Yanzhuang, he finally came to Yangzhou, and the destruction of Tianyin Sect finally started on the right track.
"I never thought that the hidden dangers in Yangzhou would be so serious." Yu Ze and Qiu Zhenmu stood behind Li Xuan, looking at him solemnly.
Li Xuan turned around and didn't answer directly, just smiled faintly: "It's going to rain!"
There was a loud "Boom", the heaven and the earth shook, and a dazzling flash of light flashed behind Li Xuan, making the two of them cover their eyes involuntarily.
The lights in the spacious study seemed to feel the vibrations of the thunder and began to sway.
Li Xuan pressed back with her left hand, and the open window was closed again, and the flickering lights in the house returned to calm.
Looking at the solemn expressions of Yu Ze and Qiu Zhenmu, Li Xuan shook his head and said, "We don't need to worry about this matter. Dou Changshi has been in charge of Yangzhou for many years, and he knows the four major families in Yangzhou well. As long as he controls these four major families, , nothing will happen to Yangzhou." Z.br>
After a pause, Li Xuan's expression turned cold: "Yangzhou is Dou Changshi's Yangzhou. No one knows if he is setting up a big game of chess, waiting for all the rebels to gather in one place, and then kill them all in one fell swoop?"
The expressions of Yu Ze and Qiu Zhenmu couldn't help but suffocate, and at the same time they quickly became gloomy.
Li Xuan's words were very implicit. Dou Xuande's current actions may not be regarded as raising the bandits' self-respect, but they are actually raising the bandits' merits.
"But what happened now that the Silla envoy was assassinated?" Qiu Zhenmu was the first to ask.
"Of course something went wrong." Li Xuan smiled softly, and there was a crackling sound behind him, and heavy rain had already fallen.
Li Xuan walked up to the two of them, turned his back to the window, looked at the three of them and said: "The rebels are not vegetarians. There are too many loopholes in Yangzhou City in some places that are not noticed. The governor's office cannot do anything they do." Complete control, a little accident, that’s what happened last night.”
"Then the prince's assassination was also under Dou Changshi's control?" Yu Ze's face darkened.
If Dou Xuande allowed Li Xuan to be assassinated, it would be another matter.
"We have all expected it in advance. How could he not expect it? This is Yangzhou!" Li Xuan smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "So although the situation tonight is dangerous, in fact it is as safe as a rock and not dangerous at all. nothing."
No matter how you say it, Li Xuan is the king of the county, and Dou Xuande will not let Li Xuan get into trouble at will no matter what.
So although Li Xuan couldn't see some places, he knew that there was someone protecting him.
Hearing what Li Xuan said, both Yu Ze and Qiu Zhenmu breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, they heard Li Xuan say softly: "So, the killers who came out to assassinate us, including the demon girls of Tianyin Sect, are actually Abandoned son."
Yu Ze and Qiu Zhenmu paused there at the same time, their eyes trembling wildly. This was something they had never expected before.
"Everything tonight is just them diverting our attention. What they are really doing must be happening quickly in a corner that we can't see." Li Xuan's face darkened slightly.
That was all he could think of tonight. As for other deeper secrets, he lacked enough information and didn't know what the Tianyin Sect was planning.
We can only rely on Yanzhuang!
Yu Ze calmed down a little. Although he was a Jinshi scholar and served as King Peng's staff for many years, he still couldn't see through this top-level political confrontation. However, he didn't expect that Li Xuan could see through it all easily. .
Li Xuan stopped talking after some words.
Because he knew that the one who was really arranging the plan was not Li Xuan, Yan Zhuang, or even anyone in Dou Xuande's current Yangzhou city, but Tianhou Wu Mei and Tianyin leader Guhou who were hiding at the back.
"Your Majesty, can we
Whatever we do, when we go to Wuzhou, we still need the support of Yangzhou. "Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan seriously.
"Of course, isn't there an accident now?" Li Xuan chuckled and shook his head: "I'm afraid Dou Changshi didn't expect that the Tianyin Sect would actually attack the Silla envoy. Now he didn't even know that tonight What did the Yin Cult really do?"
Qiu Zhenmu and Yu Ze looked at each other with solemn expressions. It would be strange if Tianyin Sect caused such a big battle tonight and didn't do something secretly.
Whether it was the assassination of Li Xuan or the assassination of the Silla mission, they were all methods used by the Tianyin Sect to mobilize local soldiers.
When the soldiers who were originally supposed to be in a certain place disappeared, the Tianyin Sect would definitely take advantage of the opportunity. This was what they had planned long ago.
"Fu soldiers." Yu Ze finally understood what went wrong. They had guessed before that there must be something wrong with the Fu soldiers in Yangzhou City, but they couldn't figure out what the problem was for a while, but now Li Xuan When they clicked through, they immediately understood: "It's Shi Jin, the captain of Zhechong, and Zhang Ji, the captain of Zuo Guoyi. Someone is targeting them. If something happens to Liang Fuling tonight, these two families..."
Yu Ze's brows furrowed tightly. They didn't know the real relationship between the Shi family and the Zhang family. They only knew that Shi Jin was Liang Fuling's uncle, and Zhang Ji's son was going to marry Liang Fuling next year, but the relationship between the two parties was unclear. The deeper entanglement between them is far beyond what outsiders like them can see.
"I'm more worried about Captain Liu Yun and Liu Zhige of You Guoyi now, and I don't know what his position is." Li Xuan's face finally became a little more solemn, and she said softly: "If the captain Shi Jin and Zuo Guoyi are both Something happened to Wei Zhang Ji, so who is in charge of the entire Xinlin Mansion?"
Yu Ze and Qiu Zhenmu looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces. They had only been in Yangzhou for a few days, and many people only heard their names but never saw them. How could they know that there were more grudges and entanglements here.
"There is also the Cao Gang, who cooperates with the inside and outside, and attacks from both inside and outside... There is a problem within the Fubing, and with the addition of 100,000 Cao Gang disciples outside, Yangzhou is turned upside down in an instant." Li Xuan smiled lightly and sat down in front of the two men. He stood up and said in a low voice: "Now it depends on how our Lord Chang Shi breaks the situation!"
"Your Majesty, if we are the one in the situation, what should we do?" Qiu Zhenmu looked at Li Xuan curiously.
Li Xuan said calmly: "It depends on how much control we have over the soldiers and the Cao Gang. Dou Changshi has been working hard in Yangzhou for many years. Even if the Tianyin Sect can gain something for a while, it will be difficult to shake the overall situation. It is nothing more than a temporary It’s just a chaos. But the premise is that Dou Changshi doesn’t make fatal mistakes.”
Li Xuan's voice became deeper. This incident tonight was enough to wake Dou Xuande up.
"Your Majesty, what are we going to do next? Do we have to leave Yangzhou as expected? The purpose of our coming to Yangzhou this time..." After a short pause, Qiu Zhenmu asked again: "And to assassinate the Prince tonight? The Tianyin Witch, should we just let her run free?"
"How could it be!" Li Xuan waved her hand, leaned forward slightly and said, "Yangzhou, we have to leave the morning after tomorrow. Wuzhou can't wait. Maybe the Tianyin Demon Girl can only let her run free, but as for me and others The purpose of coming to Yangzhou..."
"Tap tap tap..." Crisp footsteps sounded outside the door on a rainy night. Li Mo stood at the door, put away his umbrella, and reported to Li Xuan: "Your Majesty, Xinlin Mansion Zhechong Commander Shi Jin has come to visit."
Li Xuan turned around, looked at Yu Ze and Qiu Zhenmu, and said with uncontrollable joy: "Look, tonight the person I have been waiting for has finally arrived!"
After saying that, Li Xuan stood up and walked outside. Li Mo quickly opened the umbrella again and headed to the central hall with Li Xuan.
"Uncle Yu, Brother Qiu, please rest. That's it for tonight." Li Xuan's calm and confident laughter came from the rainy night.
Yu Ze and Qiu Zhenmu looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
In the entire Yangzhou, the most inconvenient people for them to contact came to their door!
The door that needs to be opened most during the trip to the southeast has now opened a gap.
