On the outskirts of southwest Yangzhou, an abandoned ancient pagoda stands tall.
On the top floor of the ancient pagoda, a figure was looking out of the window, looking at the scenery of the entire Yangzhou.
Wearing black clothes and brocade robes, he has a tall and straight figure, a silver crown on his head, and his hands behind his back, looking like a noble gentleman with a leisurely attitude.
At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps came from downstairs.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged figure wearing a gray coarse robe appeared at the entrance of the building.
This is an extremely ordinary face, so ordinary that one cannot think of words to describe it.
Looking at the noble young master standing at the window, the middle-aged man sighed with a complicated expression: "I'm afraid no one would have thought that the Prince of Nanchang, who everyone was waiting for at the South Bank Pier, would actually come to this long-abandoned ancient pagoda of Universiade. . Your lord, please see me at Yanzhuang."
"Sir, did you say that there are many people waiting at the South Bank Pier?" A familiar voice came from the noble master. He did not look back, but looked to the southeast, shook his head and said, "I was only awarded the title of Examiner. Lu Shaoqing's official position only deals with the Silla people and has nothing to do with the official families of Yangzhou City."
"Your Majesty, although Honglu Temple is only in charge of guests and ominous rituals, when Your Majesty arrives in Yangzhou, he becomes an angel. To neglect an angel is a big sin!" Yan Zhuang smiled softly and cupped his hands slightly towards Li Xuan.
He knew that Li Xuan certainly knew about such things.
The reason why he asked this was just to make sure.
"Sir, in my opinion, the matter in Wuzhou is much more serious than that in Yangzhou. Your Majesty is not unaware of this matter. To appease Silla's envoys and plead guilty, you only need Dou Changshi to come forward. There is no need to call me. When you come back, you even use the 800-mile express, why is this?"
After saying that, Li Xuan turned around suddenly and stared at Yan Zhuang who was standing in front of him.
Li Xuan is still confused about being suddenly awarded the post of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple in charge of the school.
There was still a lot of things to deal with in Wuzhou, and he was eager to fly to Wuzhou immediately, but the emperor called him back again.
"This is Dou Changshi's request. Your Majesty must have known about it. This is also your Majesty's intention, because if the southeast is to be safe, Yangzhou must be safe first." Yan Zhuang's face was extremely solemn. His words immediately made Li Xuan became surprised and suspicious.
"What happened again?" Li Xuan suddenly frowned.
For the emperor to suddenly make such a decision, there must have been a huge change.
"Your Highness, do you still remember the official document sent to the capital of the gods earlier, asking you to transfer the official profile of Captain Zuo Guoyi Zhang Ji?" Yan Zhuang said lightly.
"Of course." Li Xuan nodded, and then explained: "Yongchang Bo Liang Ming is dead. The cause of his death is known to Sir. The Tianyin Sect did so many tricks on him, so there must be ulterior motives. I am worried, The Tianyin Church used this to manipulate Captain Zuo Guoyi Zhang Ji, so they want to investigate."
"Captain Zuo Guoyi is suspicious. What if Captain Liu Yun, Captain You Guoyi, is also suspicious?" Yan Zhuang's words made Li Xuan feel a chill in his chest.
"Why is this so?" Li Xuan said with a serious face: "If there is something wrong with Captain Guo Yi, then even if Captain Shi Lin is still loyal, the entire Xinlin Mansion will be completely paralyzed.
If they take the opportunity to attack Shilin, the entire Xinlin Mansion will be completely destroyed, and they may even be misled into using it to deal with other Zhechong Mansion.
As a result, half of the four major Zhechong mansions in Yangzhou will be destroyed. If there are other methods, then the entire Yangzhou will be in danger. "
"As the old saying goes, if you attack Yang, you must attack Huai, and if you defend Yang, you must defend Huai, and vice versa. If the Tianyin Sect, after taking over the southeast, goes straight to Yangzhou, and then instantly paralyzes the entire Huaibei, then even if the imperial court has troops, it will temporarily mobilize But don’t come.”
Yan Zhuang shook his head and said, "If it hadn't been for Your Majesty's trip to Yangzhou, I'm afraid even Your Majesty wouldn't have known that the problem in Yangzhou was so serious."
"But that's just a guess." Li Xuan quickly waved her hand and said, "I just think something is wrong, there is no proof."
"When did your Majesty's actions require proof?" Yan Zhuang retorted casually, and Li Xuan was immediately speechless.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Xuan asked: "Your Majesty must have made arrangements for everything. Your Majesty will definitely clean up the Xinlin Zhechong Mansion and the four major Zhechong Mansion in Yangzhou. Therefore, I still only need to be responsible for the envoy of Silla. Just the assassination of the Silla ambassador."
"Of course, the person who assassinated the Silla ambassador was a member of the Tianyin Sect. The prince must have had a plan." Yan Zhuang looked at Li Xuan, and he was also curious about Li Xuan's methods.
Li Xuan came here quietly, and must have made all arrangements.
"Compared to the hidden dangers among the soldiers, the Tianyin Sect is not worth mentioning at all." Li Xuan shook his head. He would rather fight with the people of the Tianyin Sect than get involved in the mess of the soldiers. In the matter. .z.br>
After all, even if he gets involved in those things, he will die if he is not careful.
Those people in the Tianyin Sect relied too much on personal force, and their minds were a little spinning.
But the generals of the government are different. They can mobilize large numbers of soldiers and horses anytime and anywhere.
With the cooperation of the battle formation, they can take out bows, arrows, crossbows, and even Fuyuan crossbows for city defense.
If these people are really driven into a hurry, even if Li Zhi comes, they will be killed by them.
"Your Majesty naturally has arrangements. The King of Nanchang can just sit back and watch, but Tianyin Sect?" Yan Zhuang looked at Li Xuan solemnly and asked, "Do I need to take action?"
"Of course." Li Xuan nodded crisply and said, "If it is just Wen Bingyan, I can solve it myself, but the real trouble is An Rongxiang, who is a master of the Xuantai Realm, but It’s not something my small body like me can withstand, I still need sir to take action.”
"Of course." Yan Zhuang nodded. Since he came to Li Xuan, his intention to take action was obvious.
Neither of them mentioned the dispatch of troops to the Yangzhou Dudu Mansion and other nearby Zhechong Mansion.
"The show is about to begin!" Li Xuan's eyes crossed the walls of Yangzhou City and landed directly on a very obvious building on Xicheng Street.
"That's the Silla Embassy over there, right?" Yan Zhuang followed Li Xuan's gaze and looked over. After a little estimation of the location, he guessed where it was.
"Yes, I have sent people to deliver the message to the envoys of Silla. They should be able to receive it now." Li Xuan turned slightly sideways, and as his eyes turned, a flash of water suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Several kilometers away, everything appeared clearly in his eyes.
On the busy street, in front of the largest house opposite the square gate, a tall horse galloped over.
Running along the military road, the officer in Qianniu Guards quickly stopped in front of the Silla Embassy. Then he got off his horse and stood in front of the door with a greeting card in his hand. He did not hand over the greeting card or hand it over. Looking for someone to pass on the message, he just stood in front of the Silla Embassy.
After a moment, a middle-aged thin man wearing a blue plaid robe walked out quickly, came to the Qianniu Guards officer, and bowed sincerely: "I wonder what the general is here for?"
"I have been ordered to pass on the order from the King of Nanchang County, instructing Silla to apologize to Qin Yugangan to wait at the embassy and not to go anywhere else." After Qian Niuwei finished his order, he immediately put away the greeting card in his hand. I have no intention of asking for forgiveness for Silla.
Qin Yujiaogan's expression changed slightly. He couldn't help but step forward and asked, "I wonder why the Prince of Nanchang County is here?"
"In two hours, your Majesty will just wait patiently." Qian Niuwei finished his sentence, then immediately got on his horse and quickly headed towards the north.
"This King of Nanchang is very powerful." In the restaurant opposite, Wen Bingyan stood at the window and took in everything.
She lowered her head and pondered. She was sent here by An Rongxiang to arrange the assassination.
However, everything had just been arranged and she hadn't left yet, so she happened to see the scene in front of her. The Prince of Nanchang County would arrive here in two hours, so she might not be able to wait.
An Rongxiang did not allow Wen Bingyan to stay in Yangzhou City for a long time, lest she be targeted by Shi Jin.
Soon, Wen Bingyan appeared on the street below the restaurant, wearing a gray-yellow bamboo hat and walking around.
He ran towards the outside of West City among the crowd.
However, just as she left Qingpingfang, suddenly, a scream sounded on the street behind: "He's dead."
Wen Bingyan turned around subconsciously and suddenly saw a black figure tumbled down from the restaurant in the distance, fell heavily to the ground, twitched slightly, and then stopped moving.
That restaurant was surprisingly the same restaurant Wen Bingyan had stayed at before.
