The mist shrouded the city, and the city walls were dimly shadowed.
The people who came to see Li Xuan off had already been completely submerged in the mist.
The breeze swept by, blowing the light mist to the corners of my clothes.
On the Dongyang River, the official ship was not moving very fast.
There are not many boats on the river, so as long as you pay attention, you don't have to worry about hitting other boats.
Standing on the bow of the boat, letting the strong wind blow, Li Xuan's eyes were cold.
This time, inside and outside Dongyang, 150 of the 3,000 Tianyin Sect elites in An Rongxiang's memory died at the hands of Li Xuan.
There are also thirty to fifty people trapped in the Shangxi Gold Mine, unable to move forward or retreat.
I don't know how Fang Yunxiu, who is based in Wuzhou, will react after receiving this news.
"They haven't let go at Shibi Pass yet?" Liang Fuling's voice suddenly sounded behind Li Xuan.
Li Xuan turned around and saw Liang Fuling standing aside holding Cheng Yan's hand.
Compared with Cheng Yan, who is seventeen years old, not very tall, and even still has a little baby fat on his face, Liang Fuling, who is only thirteen years old, looks very thin standing next to her.
Ever since the two met, they have inexplicably become good best friends.
Liang Fuling, who had always been bold, always looked at Li Xuan with a hint of provocation. On the contrary, it was Cheng Yan who bowed to Li Xuan very respectfully.
Li Xuan ignored Liang Fuling, turned her head and looked to the other side.
Yu Ze, Wang Bo, Du Bixing and others who left Dongyang with him raised their hands to Li Xuan and said, "Your Majesty!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly, and the three of them turned around and returned to the cabin to deal with many matters before heading to Wuzhou City.
For the Wuzhou incident to unfold smoothly, a lot of planning and layout need to be done in advance, and very detailed inferences and calculations need to be made.
On the deck, more than a dozen Qianniu Guards stood on both sides.
Li Zhu, who was wearing a green robe and holding a long sword, stood silently in the shadow corner.
Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen are currently training the soldiers they recruited yesterday at Green Willow Villa.
Some of them will go to Zhoucheng with Li Xuan, and the rest will continue to stay here for training.
After taking in everything, Li Xuan looked at Liang Fuling, nodded, and said: "When we first entered Dongyang, I ordered that no ships were allowed to enter Dongyang within three days of Shibi Pass. Today afternoon, the restrictions It will end, but this is not the only reason why there are not many boats on the river today."
After a pause, Li Xuan turned to look in the direction of Yiwu and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Because I also ordered Dongyi Pass to block all roads and waterways entering Dongyang until I leave Dongyang, no one is allowed to enter Dongyang, so That’s why there are so few boats on the river.”
There are only ships leaving Dongyang, but there are no ships entering Dongyang.
In order to try to reduce the outside interference on Li Xuan's handling of Dongyang, Li Xuan almost did everything he could to the extreme.
"I'm just a little sorry for you. I should have allowed you to get off the boat for a walk and enjoy the local beauty." Li Xuan nodded apologetically.
"What's getting better? In Dongyang, I only see you plotting to kill people every day. The beautiful scenery has become boring!" Liang Fuling rolled her eyes at Li Xuan angrily, then pulled Cheng Yan's arm and said: "Sister Cheng, let's go to the back cabin and ignore this bad guy."
After saying that, Liang Fuling had already pulled Cheng Yan away, and Cheng Yan gave Li Xuan a helpless look.
Li Xuan nodded slightly before she left with Liang Fuling.
Li Xuan turned around and looked at the broad river in front of her, her expression gradually becoming serious.
He whispered in his mouth: "Wuzhou, Tianyin Sect, the four great families."
Although Wang Fanglin's assassination was basically the reason why he wanted to investigate his land, it is also an indisputable fact that the four major aristocratic families in Wuzhou and the Tianyin Sect are colluding with each other.
If you want to find out the case, you must first find out where the Tianyin Sect is hiding in Wuzhou City, and then you can catch them all.
Li Xuan
When he was in Luoyang, he had already started to collect corresponding intelligence. Now that he had done so many things, Li Xuan could not help but feel waves of pressure when he thought of arriving in Wuzhou City.
Because Wuzhou is already very close to the Tianyin Sect’s home base.
On the Dongyang River, the speed of the big ship is gradually slowing down. In front of it is the Green Willow Villa.
The big ship docked at the pier on the shore, and the group below had already made preparations.
Li Xuan stood on the deck and watched Qiu Zhenmu bring all the Qianniu Guards and more than 20 Fu guards on board, while Zhou Shen stood below with more than 30 Kuaiji Fu soldiers who had stayed behind. , handing over to Li Xuan and Qiu Zhenmu.
As Qianniu Guard, Qiu Zhenmu followed Li Xuan to investigate the assassination of Wuzhou Governor Wang Fanglin, so he could not leave Li Xuan too far.
Some of the well-trained soldiers were quickly incorporated into the formation, while the other group of slightly inferior soldiers would stay at Green Willow Villa to continue their training.
"One goes straight to the core, and the other goes outside. You are well versed in the art of war, right?" A crisp voice sounded behind Li Xuan.
Li Xuan didn't need to turn around to know that she was Liang Fuling, the daughter of Ningyuan General Yongchang Bo Liang Ming, and the granddaughter of the founding Jiang Guogong Liang Yan.
As the only heir to the art of war in the entire Liang family, she knew best how to discern Li Xuan's thoughts on this arrangement.
"The eggs can't be put in the same basket, but they can't be too scattered!" Li Xuan turned around and looked at Liang Fuling.
Next to her, Cheng Yan stood.
"But even so, there are too few manpower here, and it is easy for others to target them!" Liang Fuling pointed out the weakest point of Li Xuan's arrangement in one sentence.
"Even if you can see it, how likely do you think I can't?" Li Xuan replied with a deep meaning.
Liang Fuling's face suddenly became astonished, but she suddenly said: "This is a trap!"
"The net has been spread, now let's see who will accidentally fall into the trap." A sneer appeared on Li Xuan's face.
Dongyang's position is so critical, how could Tianyin Sect give up so easily.
If Li Xuan comes to take action, he will definitely take action in Wuzhou and Dongyang at the same time, and then use the safety of both parties to affect people's hearts at the same time, making it difficult for people to take care of each other, mobilize each other, and finally find a way to take advantage of them and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
However, once you see through this, although you will be in danger, you can still be safe if you are fully prepared and just love.
In this way, opponents who have been hiding can be caught directly and killed in one fell swoop.
"You are so scary!" Liang Fuling looked at Li Xuan with a look of disgust on her face. She stretched out her hand to pull Cheng Yan and said, "Sister Cheng, let's go and have a look elsewhere... Hey, why are you here on the river?" people?"
Li Xuan suddenly turned around and saw a lone boat approaching quickly from the river in the distance.
There was a man and a woman standing on the boat. The man was wearing a blue mountain-patterned robe. He was elegant and personable, and looked good-looking.
The woman wore a pink chest-length skirt and looked gentle and pleasant from a distance.
Li Xuan didn't know who the man was, but Li Xuan could tell at a glance that the woman was Du Liu, Du Bixing's daughter.
Du Liu had already left their boat to find his uncle Huang Jin, the magistrate of Dongyang County.
Unfortunately, the Dongyang County Magistrate did not show up until Li Xuan was about to leave Dongyang.
Li Xuan now completely believes that the Dongyang County magistrate was indeed seriously injured when he was in Wuzhou City.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many things happening in Dongyang, and he wouldn't even show his face, and there wouldn't even be any news.
The clipper quickly came over, and a man and a woman on the clipper boarded the ship very quickly.
This time, it can be clearly seen that the kung fu of the two people is really not weak. new
"Du Liu, Huang Ziliu, I have met the prince!" Du Liu and Huang Ziliu raised their hands to Li Xuan at the same time.
"Mei Du Xian, Brother Huang!" Li Xuan cupped her hands at the two of them, then stretched out her
Pointing to the cabin, he said: "You two, let's go into the cabin to talk. Mr. Bixing is also inside now... I don't know how County Magistrate Huang is doing. I want to visit and ask some questions. Is that okay?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the prince. My father is in poor health now and is really not suitable to see guests." After a short pause, Huang Ziliu then said: "The student knows what the prince wants to ask. When the assassination occurred in Rizhoucheng, the student happened to be there." at the scene!"
"That's good!" Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
As one of the parties involved in the incident, Huang Ziliu knew much more about what happened at the scene than what was recorded in the official documents.
Entering the cabin, Huang Ziliu saw Du Bixing at a glance, and then immediately handed over: "Zi Liu has met my uncle!"
As soon as he saw Huang Ziliu, Du Bixing immediately became serious: "Why are you here? Does your father still have someone to take care of you?"
"Father has already fallen asleep. According to his habit, he should wake up in two hours. My nephew is here to confess to the prince and then return to Shanyang Villa." Huang Ziliu immediately explained seriously.
"In this case, I won't waste time waiting." Li Xuan smiled and interrupted Du Bixing's next question, looked at Huang Ziliu and said, "Brother Huang, please tell me in detail what happened that day. "
"Actually, that day, my father and the magistrates of Jinhua, Pujiang, Yiwu, and Longyou, along with the governor, the chief minister, and Sima, congratulated the old man of the Shen family on his birthday. Who would have imagined that the curfew was already in place, but at the corner At the intersection of the street, the killer suddenly appeared. I didn’t even see what was going on. My father had already collapsed on the ground. After that, the prince knew everything that happened after that." Huang Ziliu described in detail what he knew. Read it again.
There were two killers, one on the left and one on the right, holding long swords, and they had risen in the blink of an eye.
No one could see clearly what was going on. The governor Wang Fanglin and the chief minister Li Ai fell to the ground on the spot.
Immediately, the two killers rushed into the crowd and started massacre.
The speed was astonishing. Although Huang Ziliu was young, but also had the cultivation level of the Xiantian Realm, he still could not clearly see the movements of the two killers.
Fortunately, he was concerned about his father's safety and rolled him aside. Otherwise, he might not be able to escape bad luck again.
In that assassination, the only recorded deceased was Chang Shi Li Ai, but Li Ai was not the only one who was actually killed or injured.
I don't know how many personal attendants, guards, and policemen who accompanied him died there, but none of them were recorded.
"Master." Li Xuan sighed with emotion.
Regardless of whether the opponent is a martial arts practitioner or a Taoist successor, if he dares to assassinate the governor of a state on the street, his ability and courage are first-class.
According to Huang Ziliu's description, it all happened very quickly.
In a very short period of time, the two killers had killed through the crowd and then walked away.
The rest of them couldn't even stop him, and they didn't even know where the other party fled in the end.
"Afterwards, Sima sent people to search the whole city, but still found nothing." Huang Ziliu looked a little embarrassed.
"You came back at night." Li Xuan suddenly said and looked at Huang Ziliu.
"Yes, all the superior officers actually drank a lot." Huang Ziliu looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"No, no!" Li Xuan smiled, then raised his hands to Huang Ziliu and said, "I already know what happened that day. Thank you, Brother Huang. After Wuzhou is settled, I will definitely pay a visit to County Magistrate Huang."
"Don't dare, Your Majesty, you're too polite!" Huang Ziliu returned the favor to Li Xuan calmly, and then asked curiously: "Actually, the student knows a lot of details, but I don't know, Your Majesty..."
"Thank you, Brother Huang!" Li Xuan smiled politely and said, "It's just that there are a lot of strange things in this matter, and I need to think about it carefully. Uncle Yu will entertain Brother Huang on my behalf. I need to sort out my thoughts. .”
After speaking, Li Xuan turned around and walked away, ignoring the stunned looks on everyone's faces.
"It seems that the prince has thought of something!" Yu Ze said lightly.
Everyone present, including Wang Bo and Du Bixing, looked solemn at the same time.
Only Du Liu and Huang Ziliu looked confused.
