Under the flickering firelight, everything in the cave seemed a little dim.
Li Xuan, who was sitting on the ground, slowly opened his eyes. There was a hint of exhaustion in his eyes, and he subconsciously pressed his eyebrows.
"I didn't expect it to be like this." Li Xuan sighed softly.
He had just read the most profound memory left behind by Fang Fengjin after his death.
That memory surprisingly had nothing to do with the Tianyin Sect, but a scene from Fang Fengjin's early years.
At that time, it was still during the Zhenguan period.
Although Fang Fengjin's family is not rich, they live a worry-free life. In addition to their parents, they have three younger brothers who live a stable life.
This is that memory, the memory that Fang Fengjin never forgets.
Others, there is nothing.
There is not much information about Tianyin Sect, but there is information about Tianyin Sect everywhere.
At that time, several natural disasters struck one after another, and the people were impoverished and eventually embarked on a path of no return.
If every family could have a surplus of food for three or two years, they would not be in dire straits so quickly.
There were also officials in the imperial prefectures and counties. Although it was clear that there was a catastrophic disaster, they still imposed excessive taxes and expropriations. In the end, the officials forced them to rebel.
"It's a pity that those people were killed by His Majesty back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind doing it again." Li Xuan showed a hint of ruthlessness on his face, and Jean immediately sneered and said: "However, today's Muzhou may not be the same. There’s no chance.”
With a sneer, Li Xuan put these things behind her, and then looked at Qu Ying, who was standing to one side with her hands raised respectfully and her face in reverence.
On the ground behind her, Zhang Wanyu was still lying there, motionless.
Li Xuan glanced at Zhang Wanyu, then looked at Qu Ying: "How much do you know about the Navy?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, the Muzhou Navy is commanded by Captain Zhu Si of Changshui. There are 2,200 sailors, 2,000 infantry, followed by Servant Yuan Chao and 500 soldiers. In addition, there are Bai from the Zhoushan pirates. The three brothers are accompanying them." Qu Ying used to be Fang Fengjin's confidant and had a very clear understanding of the navy's deployment.
In today's Muzhou, except for the few thousand people who stayed in the prefectures and counties, almost everyone else left.
And the one closest to them is the navy.
Li Xuan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then do you know where they are now?"
"I don't know, since I left Muzhou, the land and water have been fighting separately. The mountains are blocking them and there is very little contact. But calculating the distance, they should have arrived outside Sanshan Pass today." Qu Ying answered honestly. .
"Yes, they should have arrived today. If news of the fall of Sanhe Pass comes during today's battle, then it is impossible to say that the result of today's battle will not be like this." Li Xuan finished one sentence, and then looked straight towards Zhang Wanyu on the ground: "You think so, Young Master Zhang."
As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, Zhang Wanyu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes.
She did not suddenly rise up, did not rush towards Li Xuan, nor did she attack Qu Ying, she just sat up slowly and weakly.
"They broke the promise!" Zhang Wanyu answered Li Xuan's question with a livid face.
Today, the reason why Fang Fengjin attacked Meiling Pass so desperately was because on the one hand he had hatred between himself and Li Xuan, and at the same time he wanted to quickly break through Meiling Pass. On the other hand, he also wanted to try his best to contain Li Xuan. He was allowed to escape.
As long as the navy can capture Lanxi today, the connection between Meiling Pass and Wuzhou will be completely severed.
At that time, even if the Nanchang King's lone army escapes from Meiling Pass, it will be a dead end.
It was originally planned well, but who could have imagined that it would turn out like this.
Thousands of people died in Meiling Pass in one day.
Their own improper actions were partly the reason, but also the reason why Sanheguan broke the promise.
"That's why you guys rushed to Sanhe Pass desperately after being defeated." Li Xuan understood somewhat.
Fang Fengjin rushed to Meiling Pass to try to make a comeback, partly because he wanted to see what was going on with the Navy.
Zhang Wanyu didn't answer. Her eyes moved away from Li Xuan and finally fell on Qu Ying.
Looking at Qu Ying who didn't look back at her at all, Zhang Wanyu showed a sad look on her face: "How many people like her do you have in my sect?"
Li Xuan gently moved the fire in front of her and said calmly: "Just one, she is the only one. The fear of death directly destroyed her soul, and then she was reshaped by this king, so she is like this Yes, only one?"
"Then how many spies do you have in our sect?" Zhang Wanyu raised her head and stared at Li Xuan with hatred: "Who are He Qing'er and Ye Wanwan?"
"Huh?" Li Xuan blinked slightly and said with a little surprise: "Why do you think of the two of them? Why don't you think of yourself. Maybe you are the king's spy. Otherwise, I How can the king keep chasing you until now?"
Li Xuan's words stunned Zhang Wanyu. She didn't expect it to be like this.
"No, I'm not. I know I'm not, and you can't do anything to me."
Zhang Wanyu suddenly came back to her senses, stared at Li Xuan and said, "It must be one of He Qing'er and Ye Wanwan, or even both of them. They are the only ones who returned from Wuzhou with me."
"You are right. Both of them are my spies. It's just that one is close and the other is not that close. The close one is He Qing'er and the distant one is Ye Wanwan. They secretly send you to me every day. Regarding the news there, they are all just like Qu Ying, obeying my orders, so that's okay!" Li Xuan looked a little impatient on the surface, but she was very surprised in her heart, how she guessed it.
Zhang Wanyu looked at Li Xuan coldly, with a trace of contempt flashing at the corner of her mouth: "He Qing'er has a grudge against you for killing his father, how could she be yours? As for Ye Wanwan, it can't be her. She wholeheartedly wants to become a saint. How could the future heir be confused by you? Don't talk nonsense."
"If it wasn't them, then you would be the only one left." Li Xuan's words made Zhang Wanyu suddenly change her color.
Li Xuan smiled. He looked at Zhang Wanyu and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Now you know why I spared your life, because you are my own."
"No, you must have done something to me. The same is true for the saint, and the same is true for Qing'er." Zhang Wanyu suddenly sneered and said: "This will solve everything. As for why you left me alone, you are nothing more than You want to master the navy through me."
"Navy?" Li Xuan suddenly laughed out loud, as if he felt extremely ridiculous.
After a long time, Li Xuan's laughter gradually subsided, his expression gradually became colder, and he even said indifferently: "Believe it or not, I can completely destroy your entire navy with the flip of a palm. "
"I don't believe it!" Zhang Wanyu blurted out immediately. Although she was looking at Li Xuan, her eyes turned sideways unconsciously.
There was a murmur in her heart. They had seen the power of King Nanchang to control wind and rain.
Although it is more accurate to say that he is good at taking advantage of the wind, this method is also used in Haihe, and it is even more terrifying.
"You're scared!" After Li Xuan finished speaking, he gently flicked the dust, and then said calmly: "The Navy has never been a threat to me. As long as they dare to enter Wuzhou, I will ensure that they can come." Can’t go.”
"Then what do you want me to do?" Zhang Wanyu stared at Li Xuan and narrowed her eyes slightly. Countless thoughts had flashed through her mind. Then, a majestic mountain peak appeared in her mind: "You are here for General altar.”
"You're not stupid, we're very close." Li Xuan smiled softly. His true purpose was not so easy to guess.
Zhang Wanyu frowned tightly, and more thoughts arose in her mind. It seemed that something had appeared, but she did not dare to get close or think about it.
"Are you a descendant of the Yuwen family?" Li Xuan's words brought all Zhang Wanyu's attention back.
"How did you know?" Zhang Wanyu's eyes widened, and it was hard to believe that the most secret secret hidden deep in her heart was revealed with just one word.
"Wen Fuzhi is the person who revived Yuwen. This is not difficult to guess, especially for those who are interested." Li Xuan glanced at Zhang Wanyu and said with some emotion: "Your father is still a cautious person, but Your brother, maybe he thinks everyone in the world is stupid."
Zhang Wanyu's face had completely darkened, but she could not refute.
Li Xuan was praising her father and scolding her brother. Both of them were her relatives, so how could she refute them?
"It's a pity that you all chose the wrong path." Li Xuan sighed softly, and Zhang Wanyu suddenly raised her head.
"We chose the wrong path. In this world, people are poor and have no food or clothing. Are there any other paths we can choose?" She looked at Li Xuan with a sneer and said with a mocking look on her face: "I almost forgot, Nanchang The king is a member of the royal family, not an ordinary person. How do you understand the difficulties of life and death for people in the countryside in the world? You will only stand from the perspective of a noble relative and reprimand: Why don't you eat minced meat!"
"My only wish in life is that everyone has three years of food." Li Xuan interrupted Zhang Wanyu with one sentence. He looked at her and said seriously: "You should have studied this king in detail. What I said is What was said in the Taiqing Palace in Luoyang is that the Three Purities bear witness and you will never regret it whether you live or die."
Zhang Wanyu was stunned and looked at Li Xuan with a look of disbelief for a moment.
This demon who killed them until their blood flowed like a river was actually thinking this in his heart.
Li Xuan sighed: "You, the Tianyin Sect, organized the people to rebel, but you always thought of attacking the prefectures, counties, and the Wuthering Mountains. What you always did was not the people, but your own ambitions. In the troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty, some people There are too many people like this who say why I don’t eat minced meat. The descendants of the Yuwen family and the surviving Nanchen clan, who is qualified to say so? You have caused more killings than me."
Li Xuan's words were like sharp arrows, piercing the deepest part of Zhang Wanyu's heart. Her face instantly dimmed, and she even turned away in shame.
"The common people are also stupid. They think that by following you, they will become officials and make a fortune, and have enough food and clothing. But they have never thought that they are just tools for you to use."
Li Xuan stood up slowly and looked at Zhang Wanyu coldly: "Just like this time, you know that this uprising will fail, but you still treat the lives of the people as child's play again and again, and attack wantonly. Now, not to mention the whole Wu Yue, the whole world, you have not even stepped out of Muzhou to be a savior."
Zhang Wanyu clenched her fist tightly. If she hadn't been so weak now, she would have wanted to pounce on Li Xuan right now and bite Li Xuan to death.
Finally, she took a deep breath, looked at Li Xuan, and said word by word: "As long as Tianyin Divine Kingdom is successful, the people will be able to live in peace and happiness without worrying about food and clothing."
[Zhang Wanyu, the leader of Yuhang Hall of Tianyin Sect, 27 years old, father Zhang Shuyin, brother, Wen Fuzhi, Xuan Fei Middle Stage (slight injury)]
Li Xuan frowned and shouted coldly: "Stupid, there is no one more stupid than you in the world. You really believe in such a lie as the Kingdom of God!"
