Jingkou and Guazhou are separated by water, and Zhongshan is only separated by several mountains.
Li Xuan stood at the bow of the ship with a calm look on her face, her sleeves rustling in the morning breeze.
In front of you is Beigu Mountain, which lies across the river. Behind you is the long-lost Guazhou Tower. To the west, you can see the shadow of Zhongshan Mountain in the distance.
For a moment, there was an illusion that the world was under control.
On the canal, there are so many ships passing by that you can't see the end at a glance, which shows the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Xuan stretched out his right palm slightly, and the surrounding water vapor quickly gathered in his palm, forming a thumb-sized drop of water that kept spinning and growing.
With a thought, the water droplets immediately turned into running water, extending towards both sides of the palm. In a blink of an eye, it had wrapped the entire palm, and spread to the whole body.
But soon, the water layer became extremely thin.
Waving his hands to disperse the water vapor, Li Xuan felt refreshed. With this method, he would be able to take advantage of many water battles in the future.
The rapid spray of water can push him to move faster underwater, and the pre-formed water cover can increase his survival time underwater.
Even conversely, he can use the same means to kill people underwater.
The death of Wen Bingyan and An Rongxiang in his hands not only gave him a lot of innate energy, which supported the great increase in his personal cultivation, but also brought him two new memories. .z.br>
Li Xuan closed her eyes slightly, and two memory scenes appeared in Li Xuan's mind.
Under the endless starry night, a group of people climbed to the top of the mountain, and one person stood on the top of the mountains, wearing a light green chest-length skirt and a light gauze, looking graceful and graceful.
Under the mountains in the distance, countless torches turned into two long dragons, heading east and west in two directions.
Li Xuan became aware that this was the scene of Tianyin Sect marching into the southeastern states and westward into Shezhou.
But his heart couldn't help but feel heavy. Originally, he had expected that the Tianyin Sect's elite troops would be no more than a thousand people, the strength of one Zhechong Mansion, but now it seems that there are at least three times as many. Who are they? Is it time to gather so many elite troops?
The woman standing on the top of the mountains slowly turned around,
This is a woman who looks very young, with a pair of beautiful eyebrows slanting into her temples, her eyes as black as paint, very energetic, and looking forward to her.
With her face half-covered, only most of her face could be seen, but only this exposed part was already graceful and intoxicating.
There was a hint of coldness and solemnity in his eyes.
Two jade arms stretched out from under the white gauze, as if they were carved from flawless white jade, and the delicate and white skin was even more eye-catching.
Li Xuan couldn't help but hold her breath and concentrate, looking down, a touch of tender white flashed in the gauze skirt, without wearing shoes or socks.
This is not Li Xuan's perspective, but An Rongxiang's perspective.
The woman in front of him, who even An Rongxiang had to surrender to, was the empress of the leader of the Tianyin Sect.
Maybe she has other names, such as Hui Jue and Chen Shuozhen, but now, she is the supreme leader of Tianyin Sect and the supreme leader of dozens of sects in the entire Demon Sect.
The Queen's eyes fell on An Rongxiang and she was whispering something, but Li Xuan couldn't hear any sound at all and could only see An Rongxiang nodding.
After hearing the secret message, Li Xuan already had the answer in her heart.
Although Li Xuan couldn't hear the sound in her ears, the Queen Mother's order came clearly in her mind.
[Invoke Silla to create chaos, attract attention, and prevent Yangzhou soldiers from going south. 】
Yangzhou has never been the core struggle area of Tianyin Sect. Their fundamental purpose has always been to prevent Yangzhou soldiers from intervening in the Battle of Wuzhou.
After all, they were under attack from Yangzhou and Wuzhou back then, and now it is common sense to avoid making the same mistake again.
After a moment, the Queen raised her head and her eyes fell on An Rongxiang's right side.
An Rongxiang turned his head and suddenly saw a burly man wearing a golden tiger mask standing next to him. As expected, this man should be the Tianyin Sect.
The truly feared chief executive.
Li Xuan's gaze passed over the chief steward and fell on the other side, where stood an old woman with white hair and a childlike face, holding a black crane staff.
He Lao, the head of the four elders of the Tianyin Sect, was the one who had been with Queen Ai many years ago. It was said that she could attract wind and rain, and she was the one who impeached ghosts.
The queen continued to give instructions to the chief manager and Mr. He, but again, Li Xuan couldn't hear any sound. The queen was giving special instructions to everyone.
At this moment, Li Xuan turned her eyes when she saw the queen, and immediately after, a black brocade box was handed over by the queen...
The memory picture ended here, Li Xuan's mood did not fluctuate at all, and he immediately moved to another scene.
The black brocade box was put into a brown wooden box, but the box was not closed. The delicate hand that had always been as soft as a bone stretched out and opened the brown wooden box.
What appeared in Li Xuan's eyes were two wooden inscribed impressions of Kaiyuan Tongbao, one positive and one negative, both of which were in a black brocade box.
This was the perspective of Wen Bingyan, the leader of Huaiyang Hall. It didn't take long for Wen Bingyan to close the black brocade box again, along with the brown wooden box outside, and then lock it.
The entire box was tied up from all sides with more than a dozen thumb-thick chains, and then more than a dozen locks of different sizes were used.
I don’t know what technique was used. It took more than a dozen locks to be opened before the box could be opened smoothly.
"Papa!" Wen Bingyan clapped her hands, and then a man wearing a gray silk robe walked in from the outside with an expressionless face, then picked up the box and walked toward the deepest part of the room.
At this time, Wen Bingyan turned around and walked out.
A spacious lobby appeared in front of Li Xuan. On the familiar counter, several accountants were making quick calculations.
Huitong Cabinet Shop.
Li Xuan's attention was withdrawn from his memory. Qian Mo, the cabinet shop, and Qian Mo, the core of the entire Yangzhou case, finally appeared.
Unfortunately, Li Xuan had been to Huitong Cabinet Shop in Yangzhou, but the layout there was different from what Wen Bingyan remembered.
She had stored the money model in a Huitong cabinet in another city. She didn't know if it was Runzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou, or Hangzhou?
The core strength of Tianyin Sect is stronger than anyone expected. It is not easy to endure hardships for more than 20 years, not to mention the secret support and inference of aristocratic families from all over the world.
Li Xuan's trip to Wuzhou was far more difficult than he expected.
Fortunately, Li Xuan also received a lot of help from her trip south this time.
Looking ahead, in the distance, Runzhou is almost here.
The boat was moving very fast, and soon, the official ship Li Xuan was riding on had turned into Jingkou Ferry.
Runzhou Jingkou Ferry of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
A young scholar wearing a light blue silk robe and a black hat, followed by several gray-clothed sergeants, seemed to have been waiting in front of the ferry.
The people around them subconsciously walked around them, but they all looked around curiously.
Li Xuan took Qiu Zhenmu off the boat and greeted the young scholar: "I must have come to move my dear brother, but I got off late and made my dear brother wait for a long time!"
"I've met the Prince of Nanchang!" Lai Qian was very respectful to Li Xuan, crossed his hands, held each other's thumbs, and said sincerely: "It's a blessing for me to be able to welcome the Prince of Nanchang to Runzhou, and it's also a blessing for Runzhou." "Your Majesty, please get in the car. My father has prepared a banquet at the Governor's Mansion to welcome your Majesty."
"Brother, you don't have to be so polite." Li Xuan returned the favor, then took Lai Qian's arm, and whispered as he walked in: "Brother, I was supposed to arrive yesterday, but the saint's decree came, so I had to postpone it for one day. I also hope that my good brother and uncle will not blame me."
"Your Majesty, you are welcome. It is the duty of a minister to be diligent in the king's affairs. Your Majesty is a great talent in the world, and he has the trust of the saints. He will definitely be positioned in the Third Division one day and his name will last forever." Lai Qian stopped subconsciously and looked at Li Xuan seriously. He cupped his hands with an extremely sincere expression on his face.
Li Xuan couldn't help being slightly stunned. Although he liked hearing Lai Qian's words, they were a bit too polite.
[Lai Qian, seventeen years old, son of Fangcheng County, Yunqiwei, son of Lai Jingye, the governor of Runzhou, grandson of former Zhongshu Ling, Prince Zhan Shi, Marquis of Nanyang County, and Laiji, the governor of Tingzhou]
[I admire the host’s poetic talent and become a fan]
A flash of surprise flashed deep in his eyes, and Li Xuan immediately held up his hands and said, "My dear brother, I'm so grateful. If I can get good words from my dear brother and set an example for the world, I will also be respected by my brother."
"It must be like this, please, Your Majesty!" Lai Qian handed over his hand and asked Li Xuan to get on the carriage. Qiu Zhenmu and other sergeants escorted him behind, and drove towards Runzhou City.
"Brother Xian, did you meet Mr. Wang Zi'an yesterday?" Li Xuan asked in a low voice.
"Yes, you gentlemen passed by Runzhou yesterday, but because the prince did not come with him, they did not stop in Runzhou. However, they also informed the students that the prince would definitely be able to arrive today, so the students greeted him at the pier today. They never thought that the prince would actually arrive. He arrived today. Your Majesty really trusts me." Sitting there, Lai Qian once again bowed his hands politely and respectfully.
"Since I arrived yesterday, the one-day delay is inevitable, but I should arrive as soon as possible to avoid my uncle waiting for a long time." Li Xuan said, smiling lightly.
When he returned to Yangzhou after receiving the imperial edict yesterday, he told Yu Ze, Wang Bo and others that he would catch up with them soon and asked them to keep moving at a normal speed.
Everyone didn't believe it, so Li Xuan said that he could solve the problem in Yangzhou in one day and night, and he could arrive in Runzhou on the next day at the latest. He never thought that they would tell Lai Qian this.
However, Li Xuan did handle all the affairs in Yangzhou in just one day.
Even if it weren't for the delay in the Shen family's affairs, he would have arrived in Runzhou from Yangzhou last night.
He already knew what was going on in Yangzhou, but he was afraid of it because he had no rights.
Once he lets go, all hidden dangers can be eliminated in one day.
Just one day at a time, no more, no less.
