Wuzhou, south of the city, Jiaofangsi.
The gorgeous attic, which was usually lit all night long, had already fallen into silence.
Since Li Xuan took charge of Wuzhou, within three or two days, he ordered the complete closure of the Jiaofang Division.
Although it was in the name of preventing the infiltration of the Tianyin Sect, these female prostitutes in the Jiaofang Division complained endlessly.
However, many officials under Shi Cao did not dare to respond to the superiors at all. Instead, they asked the Jiaofang Division to close their doors at the end of each day.
As for those regular guests, men have their own place to stay.
Jinhe Courtyard is located deep in the Jiaofang, surrounded by green trees and flowing rivers. Boats on the river can go directly to the Wujiang River.
It’s late at night and the curfew is early.
A small boat slowly headed towards Jinheyuan.
On the bow of the ship, wearing a black-bottomed gold silk robe, holding a sword with his hands on all sides, Li Xuan looked at Jinheyuan not far away, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
[Xu Lu, a native of Chun'an, Muzhou, a candidate for oiran in the second year of Shangyuan, a steward of the Qing Dynasty in Jinhe Courtyard, the deputy head of Wuzhou Hall of Tianyin Sect, and a first-level cultivation of the Xiantian species]
A sneer flashed at the corner of Li Xuan's lips, and she said softly: "Tonight, let me find that Mr. He."
Qiu Zhenmu on one side nodded seriously.
Not only did Li Xuan stab Mr. He at Sangu Villa before, but later, during the escape process, Mr. He was also hit by a crossbow arrow from Qian Niuwei.
Although the injury was not serious, don't forget that Mr. He was poisoned, and it was the kind of poison that has no cure.
The combination of poison and injuries was enough to make Mr. He physically exhausted in a short period of time.
This is Li Xuan's opportunity. Tonight, Li Xuan will kill Mr. He completely.
Several masters of the Xuantai Realm died at the hands of Li Xuan.
Not worse than He Lao.
Thousand-faced Buddha and An Rongxiang are both the four elders of Tianyin Sect, and Mr. He, the head of the four elders, is just the one to make up the numbers.
Ahead, Jinheyuan is getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, Li Xuan said, "Brother Qiu, I am wondering if there is something we have overlooked."
"Ignored?" Qiu Zhenmu was a little confused.
Li Xuan nodded and said softly: "The Tianyin Sect can only use three people in the entire Wuzhou. One is the people from the original Wuzhou Hall, and the elites they have accumulated over the years. But now these people , I think I went to Wuyi, so I don’t need to think about it for the time being.”
Qiu Zhenmu nodded. Now Yu Ze has gone to Wuyi. In addition to bringing four hundred sicklemen, he also brought a whole team of soldiers.
Earlier, Li Xuan asked the four major county magistrates of Yiwu, Pujiang, Pan'an, and Yongkang to recruit and send soldiers.
These people are familiar with the local terrain and are very skilled. In some places, the big clans are connected, which is enough to suppress the people of Tianyin Sect, and finally they have no choice but to go east.
"The second is the people in Lanxi. They are the main force behind the Tianyin Sect's attempt to attack Wuzhou this time. There are even quite a few elites among them, at least three to five hundred people. These fully armed elites are The Tianyin Sect has seized the most important power in Wuzhou, and it is also what we need to guard against the most." Li Xuan's face was very solemn.
Nowadays, although the situation in Wuzhou is somewhat risky, it is mostly within control. Only these elite soldiers of Tianyin Sect are very uncomfortable.
Even if Meiling Pass is not in hand, then someone from Muzhou may come to support at this time, making it even more difficult to estimate the number of Tianyin Sect soldiers.
Therefore, in addition to placing Zhang Lu in Lanxi and Yan Tao in Lingdong, Li Xuan also arranged for Qin Ming's manpower to provide support.
It is to force the people of Tianyin Sect, and they dare not put everyone in the city at once.
The Tianyin Sect has a lot of troops in Wuzhou, and with the help of elites from the mountain general altar, and the believers from the city as internal reinforcements, if not for Li Xuan's arrival, they would have surely taken over the city.
But as soon as Li Xuan arrived, he destroyed their foundation in Dongyang, and then solved Fang Yunxiu and destroyed the hearts of the Tianyin Sect in the city.
Now, as long as the Tianyin Sect does not make a desperate attempt to kill Laizhou City, Li Xuan has
Enough certainty that they can never come back.
In fact, Li Xuan is not worried about the follow-up. Once the Tianyin Sect starts an upright uprising, it will give Li Xuan an excuse to recruit people to join the army in an open and honest manner.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the number of soldiers in Li Xuan's hands would increase several times.
This is also the reason why the Tianyin Sect is now trying to start uprisings in various places at the same time, which is to take advantage of the lack of troops in various states and counties to capture them in one fell swoop.
Otherwise, once these states and counties are allowed to react, with the experience of that year, I am afraid that a county magistrate will be able to block them.
"What the Tianyin Sect can do now is to mobilize the elites and quietly lurk under the city." Li Xuan said softly: "The way to attack the city, besides storming, is to collude with the inside and outside, open the city gate, and smash it now In the city of Wuzhou, although the followers of the Tianyin Sect have been purged several times, there are still many people left."
"These are the last hidden dangers." Li Xuan turned her head and looked in the direction of the south gate, with a hint of solemnity in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, what you mean is that besides these people, there are other internal agents that we haven't discovered yet?" Qiu Zhenmu looked at Li Xuan in surprise.
"There must be some." Li Xuan nodded, looked at the reflection in the river under the boat, and said softly: "Today, all aspects of Wuzhou are under the surveillance of the imperial court. Even if the Tianyin Sect's troops can sneak into the state There won’t be too many people under the city. If they don’t want to attack the city by force, then what they have to do is find someone to open the door for them.”
It was really a joke that three to five hundred people wanted to attack a well-defended city head-on.
But once there is an internal response, it is completely different. As long as the army is strong enough, it will immediately cause huge chaos as soon as it enters the city. At that time, the remaining Tianyin believers in the city will take advantage of the situation and rise up, putting the city in danger.
"In the final analysis, the focus is still on the Tianyin cultists. Some of the Tianyin cultists who are out of our sight have not yet been found." Qiu Zhenmu understood what Li Xuan meant, and then said in a deep voice: "My lord, don't worry, it's similar The city gate guards have been trained, and they know how to guard against it.
On the eve of the Tianyin Sect's imminent uprising, everyone now knows that as long as they don't want the entire Wuzhou to fall into the flames of war, they will definitely do their best. "
After a slight pause, Qiu Zhenmu continued: "As for the rest, what we need to do is to be more prepared. When danger comes, we have enough manpower to deal with it, and 90% of the world's affairs can be successful.
The remaining 10% is now God’s will. "
"Brother Qiu's words are like enlightenment, making people wake up instantly." Li Xuan cupped her hands and bowed her head, thanking him: "Thank you very much, Xuan."
"Now, almost everything in Wuzhou is under the control of the prince, and my subordinates believe that with the prince's temperament, there must be strength that he has not yet shown." Qiu Zhenmu raised his head and looked straight at Li Xuan, Li Xuan couldn't help laughing.
Li Xuan turned around and the boat docked.
In one step, Li Xuan, Qiu Zhenmu, and Li Zhu came ashore at the same time. It seemed that only two people were left, and the other Qianniu Guards and Nanchang Fu Guards all came ashore.
Li Xuan took out a key from her waist and opened the back door of Jinhe Courtyard in front of her.
What appeared in front of Li Xuan was a path paved with stones.
Under the dark moonlight, a stream spanned the front and back yards.
There are several exquisite pavilions everywhere.
Flowers of various colors are dotted here, red, yellow, purple and white, which look particularly beautiful especially under the waning moon.
Li Xuan walked calmly along the gravel road and walked towards an exquisite pavilion on the far left.
There, living there was none other than Xu Lu, the deputy head of the Wuzhou branch of the Tianyin Sect.
Standing in front of the building, two black guards walked out of the darkness, slightly cupped their hands towards Li Xuan and Qiu Zhenmu, and then retreated into the darkness.
Since that day in the Eight Yong Tower, Li Xuan pointed out to his face that among the four oirans selected by the Wuzhou Jiaofang Division this time, some were from the Tianyin Sect. After they returned to their respective courtyards, they were immediately Stared closely.
Although these madams of the Jiaofang Division do not have any official positions in name, they actually have their names on the Jiaofang Division's roster.
.
If it is finally confirmed that the oiran in their family is really a member of the Tianyin Sect, then even them and everyone in the entire courtyard will have to sit together.
A rich family like the Qian family has the ability to shut up everyone who knows about it, but people like Jiaofangsi will definitely become the target of everyone's blame in the end.
So there was no need for Li Xuan to say anything, the people from the Jiaofang Division would keep an eye on these oirans themselves.
Standing in front of the attic, Li Xuan took the lead and stepped forward, followed closely by Qiu Zhenmu and Li Zhu.
Li Xuan put one hand on the door and pushed it gently. With a "squeak" sound, the door was pushed open.
Under the attic, a maid in green clothes woke up in a daze.
Immediately, a silver light flashed, and the little maid fainted again.
Li Xuan stepped up to the second floor. All the Qianniu Guards were left downstairs. Only Qiu Zhenmu and Li Zhu followed Li Xuan upstairs.
The entire attic was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.
Li Xuan stood still at the door of the room and said calmly: "Now that you're awake, get up. After twenty breaths, the candle will be lit. I hope you can get dressed... although I don't mind if you wear it or not." Dress well, but there are a lot of people here."
Qiu Zhenmu, who was standing behind, couldn't help but smile.
The witch inside was not asleep at all, or at least she woke up the moment they set foot in the courtyard.
With a "pop" sound, the lamp was lit.
One was wearing a white skirt and a green gauze, her face was washed clean, her hair was tied up, her arms were folded in front of her chest, and her folds were undulating.
A pair of pitiful eyes looked at Li Xuan, with a soft sense of charm coming through.
Li Xuan walked into the house, sat down at the round table in the room, and then said calmly: "The girl is willing to put on clothes, it seems that she is different from most of the people in this yard. It seems, Your Excellency has decided to speak as a member of the Tianyin Sect."
Hearing Li Xuan's words, Xu Lu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, but in the blink of an eye, she frowned.
These people, at best they are called oirans, but at worst they are ***.
In the middle of the night, when a group of vicious men appeared in their rooms, these women knew best what they should do and what they would do in order to survive.
It's definitely not like now, when you still have time to think about getting dressed.
Li Xuan was already digging a hole for her from the first sentence she spoke.
Xu Lu forced a smile on her face and softly whispered: "Your Majesty..."
"It doesn't have to be like this." Li Xuan interrupted Xu Lu directly, put the Eight-sided Han Sword in his hand on the table, and then said calmly: "I don't want to use any cruel methods on you, you don't have to worry, between us , they are just some simple casual questions. You can choose to answer or not answer... If the king gets the answer you want today, then I can allow you to make a request that is not too excessive."
"Of course, it is up to me to decide whether to go too far or not. You have to think clearly. If it is really too much, then I can only pretend that I have not heard your request."
Xu Lu raised her head and looked at Li Xuan, biting her silver teeth.
How can people be so shameless.
