Morning light enters the backyard, and the door to the central hall is wide open.
Li Xuan was sitting behind the desk, sketching something with a pen.
One stroke at a time, in a simple stroke, the entire Jinhua County is covered by the tip of the pen.
A burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. Li Xuan subconsciously raised his head, and Li Zhu walked in quickly from outside the door.
A secret letter was placed on the desk.
Li Xuan opened the secret letter and read it carefully, then frowned and said to Li Zhu, "Go and invite Mr. Yu Xiuzuan and Zian over."
"Here!" Li Zhu left quickly. Li Xuan looked at the secret letter in his hand and began to think carefully.
Rapid footsteps sounded outside the door, and then stopped at the door. Li Xuan looked up and saw Yu Ze and Wang Bo cupping their hands at the same time: "Your Majesty!"
"Uncle Yu, Mr. Zian, please take a look at this secret letter." Li Xuan solemnly handed over the secret letter in his hand.
Yu Ze took it first, read it carefully, then frowned tightly, and handed the secret letter to Wang Bo. Yu Ze said, "My lord, the Qian family is forced to go all the way to darkness!"
"This is not a good thing." Li Xuan knocked on the table gently and said in a deep voice: "Once the Qian family really turns to the Tianyin Sect, there will no longer be any room for error in our plan."
"Indeed, in Jinhua, the southeastern counties, Zhoucheng, Lanxi, we have calculated everything in place, and there is even room for it. But if the Qian family falls to the Tianyin Sect, our chances of winning will be reduced to 75%. Less than 60%." Wang Bo put the letter in his hand on the desk, and then looked at Li Xuan with a little worry.
"That's not the case." Li Xuan shook her head, her gaze fell on the rice paper below, a cold look flashed in her eyes: "If we use some extreme means, our chances of winning will immediately increase by more than 10%, at least we can Reaching 70%.”
Turning to the secret letter placed aside, Li Xuan said seriously: "This is probably the last resort of the Tianyin Sect. It is time for us to come up with our last resort."
"Your Majesty is talking about the Governor!" Yu Ze suddenly understood.
Li Xuan nodded and said with a hint of ruthlessness: "Originally Qin Sima's people were rushing to Lanxi, but our people took a step ahead, so they had to stay in the mountains. Now that the Tianyin Sect has taken control of the city, If you think so, then they should naturally be transferred back to Zhoucheng."
"Your Majesty, my subordinates remember that Lieutenant Yan must have gone to the Spirit Cave, right?" Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan, then read the secret letter, and asked with some confusion: "Why do people from the Tianyin Sect think that Yan The captain went to Lanxi."
"They got Yan Tao and Zhang Lu wrong." Li Xuan's eyes fell on the drawing under his hand.
The Wujiang River flows westward from Wuzhou City, then turns northward, passes through Lanxi County, and enters Muzhou.
Before Zhang Lu arrived in Dongyang, he was sent by Li Xuan to deliver a message to Duan Baoxuan, the governor of Yuezhou.
Coming and going quickly, Zhang Lu rushed back immediately after Li Xuan finished the incident in Dongyang.
Zhang Lu is the deputy general manager of the Nanchang Palace, and his power and status are inferior to Li Zhu's.
As soon as he returned to Wuzhou, Zhang Lu was immediately driven to Lanxi by Li Xuan.
Zhang Lu was the least noticed person under Li Xuan. He quietly rushed to Lanxi, found out the situation, mobilized manpower, and then lurked to wait for orders.
"Lingdong is a very interesting place." Li Xuan picked up the pen and briefly outlined Wujiang, Lanxi, and Zhoucheng, and finally pointed out the location of Lingdong Township: "Lingdong can block the Lanxi sky. When the Yin cultists enter Wuzhou, they can turn around and attack the city directly. This point must not be missed."
"But now, they may be discovered by the Tianyin Sect soon." Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan with some worry and said, "The people from the Tianyin Sect have noticed the disappearance of Yan Canjun, so the next step must be to find out Come on, although the Spirit Cave does not belong to Lanxi, it was only discovered within a day or two. Your lord, they need to move."
"Yeah!" Li Xuan nodded, looked at the map on the desk, and became thoughtful.
Yan Tao's current position is particularly important. Not only can he advance and defend, he is also the most important connection point between Li Xuan and Zhang Lu.
Once something changes in Lanxi,
Then he can immediately penetrate Lanxi directly from the Spirit Cave. Even if he cannot capture Lanxi, he can still support Zhang Lu and the others to withdraw.
This position is very critical, and Li Xuan is a little reluctant to part with it.
"We have to send people for reinforcements." Li Xuan made a decision instantly.
"Who should we send? We have very few people available right now." Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan face to face.
"Let Qi Guang go, let Qi Guang lead his sickle guards." Li Xuan clenched her fists tightly, then gritted her teeth and said, "Qi Guang and the others have never experienced a truly harsh situation since they joined the army. Training, now let them go with Yan Tao, and they can also be trained by the way."
"But Your Majesty, Qi Guang and the others, that was our last fist to fight back. Without this fist..."
"Then I, the king, will do it myself. I believe the effect will be better." Li Xuan looked at Yu Ze's worried look, waved his hand and said, "Now the Tianyin Sect has no choice but to ask for help from outside, and I, the king, have nothing better to do." It’s taboo.”
Li Xuan, himself, and the Qianniu Guards under Qiu Zhenmu are the last force in Li Xuan's hands.
This force has never been calculated, but at the critical moment, this group of talents is the most powerful fist.
It is also the last force that can be used.
"It's possible, but you have to be careful, Your Majesty. They're going to poison you right away." Wang Bo looked at Li Xuan and said solemnly: "When Xianguan was in the Prince's Mansion, he heard that the palace There is this kind of poison in it, which is said to have been passed down from the late Han Dynasty to today. Some people even think that it was created by the immortal master Ge Hong. Prince, be careful!"
Wang Bo served as the editor of King Li Xian of England. He knew the secrets in the palace in more detail than Li Xuan.
This is especially true for these things that take human lives.
"Actually, it's simple. As long as I don't eat or drink for these few days, there's no need to worry about any poison." Li Xuan waved her hand. It was just a few days of fasting. It was nothing.
As he spoke, Li Xuan lowered his head again and looked at the map on the desk.
"We still need to find the person first and arrest him." Looking at Li Xuan's thinking eyes, Yu Ze, who knew Li Xuan best, immediately understood that their king had other plans in mind.
Li Xuan nodded, pointed her finger at Jinhua County, and said in a deep voice, "There is another thing, which is the current situation of Jinhua.
There is no trace of the Tianyin Sect in and outside the entire Jinhua County. This is completely different from what we originally expected.
They seemed to have changed their strategy and no longer pursued simultaneous uprisings in all counties and townships. As a result, the elite Wuzhou Hall who were originally scattered everywhere disappeared immediately. "
It is strange that Li Xuan did not find a dignified middle-level backbone of Wuzhou Tianyin Sect in Jinhua.
but……
Li Xuan's eyes fell on the secret letter again.
Zhang Wanyu.
The sudden appearance of the leader of the Tianyin Sect's Yuhang Hall reunited the Wuzhou Hall of the Tianyin Sect, which was almost on the verge of collapse.
The form, methods and strategies have also undergone great changes, and have even become extremely targeted.
These people in the Wuzhou branch were very convinced of Zhang Wanyu. In addition to being the biological sister of the chief steward Wen Fuzhi, she was also Fang Yunxiu's fiancée.
Even before he passed the door, he had already become an undead person.
Seeing Li Xuan draw the entire map of Wuzhou, Yu Ze said with great certainty: "Whether it is the past or the future, they will eventually gather together."
This is the most critical point.
According to Fang Yunxiu's plan, these Tianyin believers should rely on believers from various places.
Once an incident breaks out, these believers are immediately integrated to form a powerful team.
Howling in the mountains and fields, attacking prefectures and counties, the entire Wuzhou can be submerged in a blink of an eye.
However, after Fang Yunxiu's death, especially the problems in Wuzhou City, and several orders from Li Xuan, the Tianyin Sect's foundation among believers has been shaken.
The most important thing is that Li Xuan gathered immigrants from Muzhou this time to carry out additional harvesting, which will complete the summer harvest of the entire Wuzhou.
The collection time is much earlier.
All of a sudden, the Tianyin Sect's deployment was disrupted.
Fang Yunxiu died, and although Zhang Wanyu rushed from Hangzhou to Wuzhou in time, it was not that easy to put everything back together perfectly.
Even if people are convinced, there are some things that she has to completely understand.
She needs time, and what she lacks most is time.
Therefore, she placed the breakthrough point in Wuzhou City, the Qian family, and Li Xuan.
Although these measures are somewhat risky, once successful, the entire situation in Wuzhou will be completely reversed in an instant.
But who will give them this chance?
Li Xuan, who was well aware of all this, had a sneer on her lips, and said disdainfully: "They actually gave up their biggest advantage. They really don't think they died fast enough."
The Tianyin Sect's biggest threat to the imperial court was their ability to incite more large-scale people to revolt.
Once they give up hiding among the public and become independent, they appear to be stronger, but in fact, they are more likely to be targeted.
"The key now is to find their hiding place, and then use the army to wipe them out in one fell swoop."
Wang Bo stopped Li Xuan and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you don't need to pay too much attention to Wuzhou City. As long as you find out the hidden part, no matter how chaotic Wuzhou is, your Majesty will be able to completely pacify it in the end."
"But in that case, the people will suffer." Li Xuan shook his head, rejected the idea, and then said: "We should still stick to our original plan. Although the current overall situation has changed partially, the overall pattern has not changed. Everything has changed. After all, the initiative is in our hands."
"That's true." Yu Ze glanced at Li Xuan, shook his head and said, "We still need to prepare contingency measures."
"What about this?" Li Xuan frowned slightly.
He doesn't have many mobile men at his disposal.
Dongyang, Dongyang County Government...
"Your Majesty, Capt. Chen is here." Li Zhu stood outside the door and saluted Li Xuan respectfully.
"Chen Ming." Li Xuan laughed a little, and Chen Ming actually came.
"My lord, last night..." Yu Ze's eyes fell on the secret letter in front of Li Xuan.
Li Xuan nodded and said, "That's him. He had a secret meeting with Qian Qilang last night and got the poison that Tianyin taught Qian Qilang. He is the assassin who came to kill me today."
As he spoke, Li Xuan raised his head and looked into the courtyard.
Chen Ming, wearing a silk robe and a short robe, walked in from the outside with an extremely calm expression.
It looked like he didn't have any weapons and equipment on him, but in fact he didn't.
Li Xuan nodded at Yu Ze and Wang Bo at the same time, and they both became solemn at the same time.
