On the top of the mountains, surrounded by green bamboos, the thousand-acre Tianchi Lake is vast and vast.
Mr. He stood on the bank of Tianchi with his hands tied up.
In front of her, a plump woman with a hazy figure wearing a pure white gauze dress was reflected in the calm and waveless blue pool.
The breeze blows, and the veil seems to be slowly fluttering, as if it is about to fly.
He Lao's voice sounded at this time: "The Holy Queen."
The Holy Queen, the Queen.
Standing in front of Mr. He, with his back to her, was the leader of the Tianyin Sect, Empress.
Queen Empress ignored He Lao and looked at the Tianchi as if in a daze.
I don't know if she came back to her senses, but her eyes slowly raised.
Retracting from the water lake reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, he then turned to look to the far right, where a four-meter-wide trench had been dug and then spread downwards along the terrain.
On the far left, there is also such a trench.
The picturesque Tianchi on the top of the mountain suddenly felt like someone had cut two bloody wounds, which were extremely torn.
Also extremely disturbing.
Under the Tianchi, at the foot of the mountains, in the center of countless dense forests.
There are two roads, one east and one west, leading to Muzhou and Shezhou respectively.
The trench spread, but Tongtianchi was not dug directly. A few steps in the middle were deliberately left.
As long as these steps are dug directly, the water in Tianchi will surge out in the next moment, and finally rush down the mountain along the trench.
If on a certain day, someone raises troops to attack the mountain, then as long as trenches are dug and the water flows down the river, no matter how many enemies there are, they will be completely destroyed.
This Tianchi is an incredibly powerful weapon of mass destruction.
"Mr. He, this is the last resort. Once it fails, I will perish together with this foundation." The queen's back was upright, and her words were full of incomparable indifference.
"Don't worry, Holy Queen, we will definitely succeed this time, and the Kingdom of Tianyin will surely march on the earth." He Lao held the crane-headed staff in his hand, leaning forward slightly, his face full of inevitable belief.
The loyalty and fanaticism in his eyes are clearly visible.
"If my deadline is not coming soon, there is no need to be so urgent, but this time I have already made a move, and I must ensure success." After a slight pause, the Empress said softly: "If I can't succeed again this time, then I will There is no future."
The wind, at this moment, seemed to have completely stopped.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, my subordinates will do their best. This time, no matter what, they will definitely succeed." Mr. He bowed his hands respectfully, extremely determined, even gritting his teeth.
"I can rest assured that you are doing the work." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she looked to the southeast and said softly: "There are pirates in Hangzhou, and there are Fuzhi in Yuezhou who are personally watching over them. Although Wuzhou has been infiltrated for a long time, it is not that big. It’s safe, you can take the time to go over and take a look, it’s okay, if nothing happens, if something really happens, you have to bring the situation back to normal as quickly as possible.”
"Don't worry, the Holy Queen, don't worry, my subordinates will never let anyone interfere with the Holy Queen." Mr. He didn't hesitate at all.
"They don't want to see us succeed. Mr. He, you have to support the situation as much as possible... Believers, believers are our foundation." The Queen stretched out her left hand fiercely and grabbed the southeast direction with a palm. , as if the entire southeast was to be grasped in the palm of one's hand.
At this time, Queen Mother's face suddenly changed, and her eyes became extremely cold: "Those who are blocking the road must be eliminated. Don't let it get out of control in the end. If...if there is any emergency, you should bring your weapons with you." Let's go to Yangzhou with Wanyu. By the way, don't forget the saint."
"I understand, no matter who dies, the saint can't die." Mr. He nodded seriously.
The Empress took a deep breath and said, "Yes, no one can kill the Saint. Otherwise, when King Donghai gets angry, we will have no way out."
He Lao was suddenly startled, couldn't help but step forward, and asked nervously: "Holy Queen, is it really true that the King of East China Sea can't come this time?"
"He wanted to come, but
Mei Niang will not give him this opportunity. Of all the people in the southeast now, there is no one who has not been carefully selected by Mei Niang. Your Majesty, why can't you see that? "The Queen couldn't help but sneered.
As if Mr. He didn't hear this, he immediately changed the subject and said, "The King of the East China Sea is not coming, so what about the King of the Western Regions? He won't come either?"
"Logically speaking, he should not have time. The country of Tubo is chaotic and complicated. Who knows when Tubo Zampu will die. He does not dare to leave easily; if Lun Qinling seizes the opportunity, he will be finished. "Quanhou's simple words directly revealed the background of the King of the Western Regions.
After a slight pause, Empress Dowager followed up and said, "Actually, it's not necessarily the case. This guy doesn't follow the rules. Maybe he doesn't mind coming here for Tubo's sake. His Majesty is planning to conquer Tibet every day."
As soon as the queen's voice fell, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded behind Mr. He.
Mr. He turned around subconsciously, and suddenly he saw an old servant dressed in purple, with a pale face and a flat hat, suddenly walking quickly, holding something in his hand...
In an instant, all the scenes quickly became illusory.
His consciousness quickly withdrew from the illusory memory, and steam filled the bedroom bathtub in front of Li Xuan's eyes.
"His Majesty!"
Li Xuan spat out these two words with an extremely embarrassed expression.
Your Majesty, why does the Queen address the Emperor like this?
You must know that Queen A is the leader of the Tianyin Sect, the leader of the two sects of the Demon Sect and the Six Paths, and the biggest internal trouble within the entire Tang Dynasty.
But she called Li Zhi this way.
Ganye Temple, Huijue.
Could it be that what happened between Huijue and Li Zhi at Ganye Temple?
Keen intuition told Li Xuan that this guess was definitely possible.
At that time, Empress Wu became a monk in Ganye Temple and got along with Huijue as sisters. But later, one of them entered the palace and became a concubine and even a queen.
One of them returned to western Zhejiang and started a rebellion, but ultimately failed.
The situation of the two people is very different. If everything goes back to the beginning, the three of them, Empress Wu, Huijue, and the emperor, will be one against two, or will they use the method of body substitution...
Li Xuan quickly shook his head to eliminate this ridiculous idea from his mind.
Putting aside the relationship between Empress Wei and Empress Wu, the characters of Tianyin Sect are also very interesting.
The King of the Western Regions turned out to be a high-level official in the Tubo Kingdom. I am afraid that no one even in the court knew this news.
But if you think about it carefully, there is indeed nothing wrong with it.
In the Western Regions, isn't Tubo located to the west of the Tang Dynasty?
Although he does not fit in with the Western Regions in the mind of the Tang Dynasty, he is already west of the Tang Dynasty, and spying on the Western Regions and the Silk Road has been the dream of the Tubo people for many years.
Claiming to be the King of the Western Regions not only expresses one's ambitions, but also confuses others. Why not use this method?
Li Xuan calmed down a little. The relationship between the King of the Western Regions and the Tianyin Sect will not be used in the future.
The Tang Dynasty is actively planning to fight against Tubo warriors. Li Xuan has now shown his own value in Wuzhou, and the emperor will definitely use him when the time comes.
Moreover, Li Xuan himself did not want to miss such a big event as attacking Tubo.
At that time, it was the best time for him to really intervene in the military affairs of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition to the King of the Western Regions, there is also the King of the East China Sea.
The King of Donghai is the king of the court. From the words of Empress Qi, Li Xuan is almost certain of this, and his rank is not low. Empress Wu should know him, so once he appears in the southeast, he will immediately arouse Empress Wu's attention. vigilance.
"Isn't it King Cao?" Li Xuan frowned slightly.
In the Queen's words, calling the King of East China Sea was not like calling a prince, but some kind of official with a lower position.
Li Xuan trusts her intuition.
He didn't think it was his illusion.
Of course, this does not necessarily completely deny that King Cao is the King of Donghai.
After all, a truly mature politician knows how to find a substitute for himself.
If you want to determine the true identity of the "King of East China Sea", you may need to find more evidence.
Here, the existence of the saint Ye Wanwan is very interesting.
Even the queen has to look at her.
During the period from Luoyang, to Yangzhou, to Wuzhou, the attitude of everyone in the Tianyin Sect towards Ye Wanwan was as if she, a saint, was a hostage placed by others in the Tianyin Sect.
Or to put it bluntly, she is the hostage placed by the King of East China Sea in the Tianyin Sect.
What is the relationship between Ye Wanwan and the King of East China Sea? Is she his daughter?
It's strange why Li Xuan didn't see this in Ye Wanwan's entries before.
Could it be that even Ye Wanwan herself didn't know the deep inside story?
Also, it seems that the real reason for the Queen's rebellion this time was not because the death of Prince Li Hong gave her an opportunity, but because she had some compelling reason.
Prince Li Hong's death from illness just happened to happen.
Big limit, what big limit?
Is it the kind of time when life and death have come to an end?
There are also believers. Why does the end of the queen’s life have anything to do with believers?
Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head. Such a memory scene explained to him many things that he didn't know before. At the same time, it also brought him more confusion.
Li Xuan stood up directly from the tub.
The inner Qi, which was almost thick and turned into liquid, moved slightly.
Countless water droplets have turned into mist and spread throughout the bedroom.
In the haze, Li Xuan walked directly towards the bed naked.
Vaguely, the surrounding water mist condensed into the memory of the Tianchi on the top of the mountain.
Suddenly, as if there was something disconnected, nearly a thousand acres of water in the Tianchi suddenly rushed out from the Tianchi, and finally crashed into the canyon and mountain road below.
I don't know when countless soldiers appeared on the mountain road. Huge water flowed down from the top of the mountain, and in the blink of an eye, they were all washed away.
Seven armies were flooded.
On the bed, I don't know how long it had passed. Li Xuan lay flat on the bed and asked in a low voice: "You should have been in the Tianyin Sect's main altar back then, so do you know where the main altar is?"
Xu Lu lay on the left side of Li Xuan's body, shook her head, and said softly: "The teaching center strictly guards the location of the main altar. You need to wear a hood when you go in or out. And when you are in the main altar, you usually stay there. Inside the cave, the only time we can leave the cave is in the dark, so we don’t know the location of the main altar at all.”
There is a cave with a huge mountain belly below, and above it is a thousand-acre Tianchi that can be flooded for three thousand miles at any time.
Such a place is definitely not difficult to find in the mountains of western Zhejiang.
