There was an eerie silence in the brightly lit mansion.
Li Xuan stood on the street, her hand pressed on the hilt of the sword at her waist, and her face became solemn unconsciously.
The night wind swept across the long street, bringing waves of whispers.
It has been a long time since Li Xuan led people into Pingshunfang. The previous fighting was not earth-shattering, but the blatant killing intent could be felt by everyone in Pingshunfang.
Now, everyone is looking at Li Xuan through the crack in the door, looking at the corpses on the street, and watching how they deal with the Yang family's old house.
Li Xuan looked at Qian Zhe, who had a respectful look on his face, with a cold look in his eyes.
In Li Xuan's view, in this case, the Yang family was infiltrated by the Tianyin Sect, which was somewhat of an unfounded disaster.
It is even very possible that someone has secretly plotted against him.
So from the beginning, Li Xuan had no intention of killing all the Yang clan.
For such a small family, killing them all is not the best choice. Finding another way may be able to use it to a greater extent.
As for land, the Yang family does not have the largest amount of land in Wuzhou. Attacking them will easily arouse the alert of a larger target...
Li Xuan looked back at Qian Zhe, turned around and waved, calling Qiu Zhenmu, Xu Jian, and Yan Tao to him, and then said in a solemn tone: "Before, the soldiers of Tianyin Sect were hiding behind them. That courtyard is ready to launch a surprise attack on us from behind at any time. However, in order to achieve the maximum effect of this surprise attack, it is best when we are trapped..."
"What do you mean, Your Majesty, is there an ambush inside this old house?" Yan Tao was the first to react.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then said thoughtfully: "Right now, this house is too quiet. Unless they are members of the Tianyin Sect, the people who were in the house before are now either drugged or... Already met with misfortune.”
The Yang family has a strict inheritance and is unlikely to have much entanglement with the Tianyin Sect. Fang Yunxiu was able to capture this place, in addition to the hostages, probably through the use of medicine.
The Tianyin Sect did not have many people in Wuzhou City. Li Xuan was not sure why before, but after some memory, Li Xuan immediately understood that Fang Yunxiu had placed the main force at Meiling Pass.
Although Meiling Pass is now in the hands of the imperial court, the Tianyin Sect has already planted countless spies in it.
As for the city of Wuzhou, if Li Xuan had not directly removed the Tianyin Sect spies from the city gate guards and watchtower guards, the same people who died under Li Xuan just now, then once the Tianyin Sect attacked the city, the entire city would have fallen in an instant .
After all, it has not been long since the Tianyin Sect started an uprising.
However, no one could have imagined that Li Xuan would directly eliminate all the Tianyin cultists under Wuzhou Bingcao in a short period of time.
They have even begun to use various means to dismantle and divide the Tianyin cultists in the city.
Direct comeback.
Once Li Xuan succeeds, the Tianyin Sect's influence in the entire city will be completely eliminated in a very short period of time.
If this method proves to be effective, then Li Xuan will quickly promote it to the entire Wuzhou.
The Yin Sect's layout throughout Wuzhou will be greatly affected that day.
It was precisely because he saw Li Xuan's powerful threat now that Fang Yunxiu took action directly regardless of all costs.
But unfortunately, Fang Yunxiu's purpose was completely exposed the moment Ye Wanwan appeared in front of Li Xuan.
The house opposite is just a backup plan. The real way to directly trap Li Xuan and the others is in the old house in front of them.
"In this case, it is still the same as before. Xu Canjun, let your people climb directly on the wall, and then use torches to illuminate every corner of the entire courtyard. I want to see it clearly, so that I can take targeted action." Li Xuan is very cautious.
There are many experts in the Tianyin Sect. Fang Yunxiu must have something to hold on to if he dares to stay alone in Wuzhou.
What is the situation in the Yang family's old house now? Is it filled with various institutions, or is it already filled with poison...
"I obey the order." Xu Jian's heart trembled, and without any hesitation, he immediately
He immediately turned around, took his soldiers, found the ladder, and quickly climbed to the top of the wall.
The walls of the deep courtyard like Yang's old house are twice as high as the previous one. It's really difficult to get up without a ladder.
Under the firelight, Li Xuan quickly turned to look at Yan Tao, and said solemnly: "Captain Yan, prepare to rush through the door."
"Here!" Yan Tao's expression immediately perked up, he cupped his hands, then immediately turned around and headed towards his team.
The closed black door of a deep compound like Yang's old house is also extremely strong and cannot be opened casually.
This is quite different from before, so a ladder and a bumper will most likely be needed.
This is already somewhat similar to military methods.
With a "hoo" sound, several torches were thrown into the courtyard. .z.br>
Immediately, the entire courtyard was directly illuminated.
As soon as Xu Jian on the wall saw clearly, he couldn't help shouting: "Stop, stop, stop all the torches."
But even so, a torch was still thrown down.
The flames burned brightly, burning directly towards a hemp rope on one side.
Fortunately, the torch was not close to the hemp rope, so the hemp rope was not ignited directly.
Seeing this scene, Xu Jian's hanging heart finally relaxed.
At this time, more people could see the scene in the courtyard clearly.
Suddenly, two not very thick hemp ropes were pulled out from under the courtyard gate, and then pulled straight towards the back garden.
From a distance, one could see that in the backyard, there were more than a dozen figures tied tightly to the center of the backyard.
At the feet of these people and around them were all kinds of firewood and tinder.
There was a huge black stone placed on a certain firewood pile in front of him. Above him, a small black flint hung, connected to the hemp rope behind him.
Once the hemp rope breaks and the flint falls, it will directly hit the black stone.
If there is even the slightest spark, the surrounding tinder and firewood will be ignited immediately.
The dozen or so figures in the middle will immediately fall into the sea of fire.
Seeing this scene, Xu Jian was startled. After stopping his men's movements, he immediately jumped off the wall and ran to Li Xuan to report to him the detailed situation in the courtyard.
"This is to kill people and kill people!"
Li Xuan immediately understood Fang Yunxiu's wishful thinking, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
If they had rushed into the Yang family's mansion rashly before, they would have just pushed open the courtyard door, the mechanism in the courtyard was activated, and the fire started.
Even if the entire Yang family does not die in the flames, they will probably not have a good ending.
Now the Yang family's crime of conspiracy is far from being confirmed.
A wealthy family like theirs, even if you don't mention the Yang family's own children in the court, even if they are their in-laws, they are still a wealthy family.
When the time comes, the people of the Yang family will die directly in the flames, and even all the evidence they have connected with the Tianyin Sect will be burned up in flames.
In this case, Li Xuan, who is leading all this, will immediately become the target of public criticism.
His prestige in Wuzhou was greatly reduced, and his attention had to be shifted to other places, and he could no longer concentrate on the Tianyin Sect.
If everything succeeds, Fang Yunxiu doesn't even have to take action at all, and Li Xuan herself will be in endless trouble.
Perhaps this was Fang Yunxiu's original plan, but he only changed his mind later and wanted to attack Li Xuan immediately.
But even so, Fang Yunxiu still chose to take care of both.
Even if there is an eventuality, Fang Yunxiu's plan goes awry, and even if Li Xuan survives by chance, she will face endless troubles.
In this case, Fang Yunxiu will definitely win no matter what the layout is.
Li Xuan turned her head, looked at Qian Zhe to one side, shook her head, and said with hatred on her face: "Brother Qian, look at how vicious the Tianyin Sect's methods are. People's calculations are really sophisticated."
"What the prince said is true." Qian Zhe said and quickly lowered his head.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart, no matter how proficient in calculation a person is, he will die in the hands of your King Nanchang in the end.
You, the King of Nanchang, are probably not bad at all in terms of calculating people's minds, and may even be even stronger.
Apart from anything else, Qian Zhe was now following Li Xuan, feeling uneasy for no reason.
There are always people who are plotting against him secretly, but now, the only one who plots against him is probably the King of Nanchang in front of him.
Qian Zhe had not thought of leaving before, but was stopped by Li Xuan's words.
Qian Zhe lowered his head and glanced behind him, and saw a pair of eyes peeking out of the carriage, staring at him from a distance.
Teng Yu.
There was suspicion and suspicion in Teng Yu's eyes.
No one knew what he was suspecting, no one knew what he was suspecting.
Qian Zhe wanted to go up and explain, but he didn't know how to say it.
Because he and Li Xuan were just standing in front of the Yang family's ancestral home, but they didn't say more than two or three words in total, and they didn't have much conversation at all.
He was set up.
Li Xuan glanced at Qian Zhe's face with an indifferent expression, then looked at Qiu Zhenmu and said, "Brother Qiu, take your brothers up there to see if there is any way to remove this kind of thing and rescue people."
"I obey the order." Qiu Zhenmu waved behind him without any hesitation, and a small group of Qianniu Guards followed and rushed up the wall.
Li Xuan turned to look at Qian Zhe, and his expression suddenly became gentle: "Brother Qian doesn't know something. In the court, the Qianniu Guards Association has many responsibilities. I'm afraid there is no such clever mechanism in Wuzhou." Find a few who are more suitable than them."
"I'll listen to your Majesty." Qian Zhe didn't dare to defend himself at all, and his expression became even more respectful.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then asked Qian Zhe: "Brother Qian should have been to Prince Yue's Mansion. If my memory is correct, there should be a team of Qianniu Guards and You Qianniu Guards in Prince Yue's Mansion."
"I've met him a few times, but I'm not familiar with him." The corners of Qian Zhe's mouth twitched slightly, and he held his hands toward Li Xuan, but kept his head low.
The duties of Youqianniuwei include but are not limited to monitoring local vassals, princes, and even governors and magistrates.
At the same time, he is also responsible for monitoring wealthy families and rebellious forces in various places.
This kind of position is equivalent to that of the Jin Yiwei in later generations.
Jinyiwei, formerly known as the Gongwei Division established by Zhu Yuanzhang, was later renamed the Qinjun Duwei Mansion. It governed the Yiluan Division and was in charge of the emperor's guard of honor and bodyguards.
Qian Niuwei is responsible for in charge of the imperial sword guards and those who are enshrined in the palace.
Qian Zhe had a secret in his mind, so he was naturally afraid of Qianniu Guard and would not dare to approach him easily.
"Speaking of which, when I was in Luoyang, a big thing happened, that is, the king of Huainan County was sent to Zhenzhou for disobeying the palace. The place has high mountains and far forests, and the miasma is deep. If you don't pay attention, you will die. It's really It's very miserable." Li Xuan looked at Qian Zhe with a half-smile.
The corner of Qian Zhe's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly. The reason why the Qian family can act without fear in Wuzhou now is because the Yue Prince's Palace is behind it.
If something happens to the King of Yue later, then their entire Qian family, with their countless wealth accumulated over the years, will immediately fall into the hands of others.
Qian Zhe understood the warning in Li Xuan's voice, especially when he thought about the time when Li Xuan asked about the origin of the crossbow and shield. Qian Zhe immediately understood that Li Xuan was hitting him hard.
As for the purpose of so many things, I'm afraid it still has something to do with the land.
Some people in the Qian family fell through the cracks.
