The sound of "rolling" axles sounded from time to time, and the carriages rose and fell, just like the rolling hills in the distance.
The surrounding Qianniu Guards and Nanchang Palace Guards were on both sides. The former looked a little lazy, while the latter was silent.
The wind was blowing gently, and it seemed that he didn't dare to disturb him too much.
In the black carriage, Li Xuan sat on the bench, looking at the green notebook in his hand, still thinking unsteadily.
Zhang Wanyu, who was sitting opposite Li Xuan, couldn't help but snorted coldly when she saw Li Xuan's appearance: "They have already begged for peace, what are you worried about?"
Li Xuan closed the green memorial book and raised her eyes to look at Zhang Wanyu.
Zhang Wanyu is the tallest among all the women Li Xuan has ever seen, and her skin is also the whitest, especially against the backdrop of the black gauze.
Her deep black eyes, thick long eyebrows, and high bridge of nose made her face look even more heroic.
"Now you seem to no longer worry about your brother's safety." Li Xuan looked at Zhang Wanyu with inquiring eyes, and asked calmly: "Is it because Muzhou Navy has decided to surrender completely?"
"I don't understand what you mean?" Zhang Wanyu's face quickly turned cold, and she even subconsciously opened her eyes to meet Li Xuan's.
"With Fang Fengjin's destruction, Wen Fuzhi immediately fell into extreme danger. If he acted rashly at this time, he could easily be put into despair. But at this time, the news of the surrender of Muzhou Navy came out. On the contrary, it will make him realize that the matter can no longer be done and he will completely hide it." Li Xuan chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, you can see the situation very clearly."
Zhang Wanyu lowered her head tightly. The closer she got to Li Xuan, the more she felt like he was a demon who could easily read people's thoughts.
Seeing Zhang Wanyu's appearance, Li Xuan followed her and looked at the top of her head. There were still seven words on it: "Not Teasing·Sealed Status".
interesting.
"You have been in Muzhou for many years, so you should know something about Yuan Canjun, right?" Li Xuan directly brought the topic to Yuan Chao, which was also Zhang Wanyu's first question.
Zhang Wanyu raised her head in astonishment, and then said: "You really don't trust him."
After a slight pause, Zhang Wanyu said thoughtfully: "Yuan Chao is from Linhai, Taizhou. His ancestors were officials in the former Sui Dynasty. Later, he changed dynasties and became a powerful man in Taizhou. He himself is good at maneuvering, has a wide network of people, and has a group of close followers. , I am used to adjusting to the wind, our religion took control of Muzhou, and he immediately defected to us. Although he is still not trusted, he was not imprisoned."
"Later, Shi Xu, the governor of Muzhou, was persuaded by you to raise troops, and Yuan Chao became one of the chess pieces used to contain Shi Xu. You gave him great rights and even led troops to fight." Li Xuan endured He couldn't help but chuckle and said: "You are so trusting of such a villain who is accustomed to adapting to the wind. I really don't know whether to call you naive or naive."
Zhang Wanyu's fists were clenched tightly in an instant, and her breathing became much heavier.
What happened to Captain Zhu Si of Changshui? Why did others take away control of the navy?
Zhang Wanyu couldn't help but complain in her heart.
The entire Muzhou Navy has two thousand sailors and two thousand infantrymen, all of whom are disciples of the Tianyin Sect.
Although Yuan Chao led 500 soldiers to follow him, it was only 500.
Besides, they are not disciples of the Tianyin Sect at all. They have not been trusted from the beginning. How could Zhu Si be so easily taken away from control of the navy by such a person? Zhang Wanyu still can’t figure out what happened here. thing.
But no matter what she thought, it was too late.
Zhang Wanyu raised her head and looked at Li Xuan, with a sneer on her lips: "We did make a mistake, but now, this trouble is yours. I want to see how you deal with this duplicitous villain."
"Do you want to make a bet?" Li Xuan looked at Zhang Wanyu and saw a trace of curiosity in her eyes. Li Xuan then said: "If this time I am deceived by Yuan Chao, then you can leave freely. If this time Yuan Chao can’t deceive this king, so just tell me what the Tianyin Sect wants the Prince Seal for?”
Zhang Wanyu was suddenly startled.
Tai Zi Yin, a name I haven’t heard for a long time.
The Tianyin Sect paid such a heavy price in the city of Gods and finally obtained a Prince Seal, but so far, no one has used it.
Not only Prince Seal, but also Yanzhuang.
Since leaving Yangzhou, Li Xuan has not heard any news about Yanzhuang.
"What, are you going to fight or not?" Li Xuan's voice had already become extremely cold.
Zhang Wanyu's face also darkened, but she remained silent.
Li Xuan looked at Zhang Wanyu, she had already given her answer.
She gave not only the answer to the bet, but also the answer to the prince's seal.
The Tianyin Sect wanted the Prince Seal to be of great use, but Li Xuan couldn't figure out how on earth they were going to use this Prince Seal?
…
The Wujiang River flows from south to north, straight into the vast mountains.
Three huge iron cables were dragged across the river, and a dozen small boats were patrolling the river.
The merchant ships coming and going had noticed something strange more than ten days ago and stopped traveling.
On the east side of the river are rolling mountains, and on the west side of the river is an open land, where Sanheguan and Sanhe Town are located.
Today, a black carriage slowly stopped in the south of Sanhe Town in the afternoon.
The surrounding Qianniu Guards and Nanchang Prefecture Guards immediately dispersed in all directions.
Wang Qin, a meritorious officer from Wuzhou, joined the army, and Feng Hua, a scholar from Wuzhou, immediately came out with the guard general of Sanhe Pass and a group of people to welcome him.
Seeing Li Xuan lift the curtain and walk down, everyone quickly bowed and saluted: "I have met the Prince of Nanchang, Prince Qianqiu."
"Excuse me, everyone." Li Xuan stretched out his hand slightly, looked at the Wujiang River rolling northward on the east side, and said in a deep voice: "This is my first time to come to Sanhe Pass. In this battle, Sanhe Pass was not lost. Thanks to Kudos to you all.”
"I don't dare, it's just my luck!"
"Whether it's a fluke or not, this level is still in our hands, and you will have the ability to defend the territory." Li Xuan walked up to the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Lead the way and tell me what the situation is now and what's going on." Yes, have you received any reply from the state government and the governor's office?"
…
Li Xuan was sitting in the main seat of the main hall of the Sanhe Gate Guard Guan Xiaowei Mansion.
Wang Qin and Sanheguan captain Shen Lin stood on the left side, cupped their hands towards Li Xuan and said: "Xiaguan and others suddenly received a letter from Xiaozhou from the north at Chenshi today, and only then did they learn that the traitor Yuan Chao wanted to surrender. Then I quickly reported to the prince and the envoy!"
Li Xuan picked up the green-skin chapter that was placed on the table, and then threw it on the table casually: "Except for being willing to surrender and beg for surrender, there is not a single superfluous word in it. I asked Xu, gentlemen, do the traitors have any secrets? Other words to pass on?"
"No!" Wang Qin immediately raised his hand and said, "The traitorous subordinate was turned away after submitting the letter. The subordinate wanted to force him to stay, but he never thought about it and was still a step too late!"
"I wonder if the prince wants to have a detailed discussion with him. If so, I am willing to go." Feng Hua looked at Li Xuan with some uncertainty.
Li Xuan waved her hand and said: "It's not that I don't want to see the Yuan family abandon their weapons. After all, Muzhou has already suffered enough casualties, and even I don't see rivers of blood flowing here and people devastated.
It would be fine if others begged to surrender, but this former soldier Cao joined the army. Not only did he assume the position of Sima of Muzhou, but now he has thousands of troops in his hands. The power to deal with such a person is not in my hands, nor in your hands. Hands, we should not act rashly! "
Hearing what Li Xuan said, everyone present immediately understood: "Your Majesty's concerns are very true, and I admire you."
"As long as you all understand." Li Xuan looked at the guard Colonel Shen Lin and said directly: "Colonel Shen, please send a message to Yuan Chao immediately, saying that the king has arrived at Sanhe Pass, so that he does not need to worry. As soon as the governor's office and the governor's office give orders, they will immediately send people to discuss the war and their treatment. At the same time, they will send people to send all the good wine in the pass to the other party's ship. It is said that this king rewarded them."
"I obey the order." Shen Lin, the captain of the gate guard, although she didn't know what kind of medicine Li Xuan was selling in the gourd, she immediately turned around to make arrangements.
Just as she turned around, Shen Lin stopped, raised her hands to Li Xuan and asked, "Your Majesty, do you need to prepare some other meat and vegetables?"
"No, as long as the wine is given, just the wine that the brothers in Guan Nei usually drink is fine." Li Xuan's words were categorical.
"I obey the order!" Shen Lin immediately turned around and walked away.
At this time, Feng Hua raised his hand towards Li Xuan: "Your Majesty, can't you trust that Yuan Pushe?"
"Pushe, haha!" Li Xuan chuckled and said, "It's really hard for him to dare to use the word "pushe"."
Nowadays, there are only two servants in the entire Tang Dynasty. The left servant of Shangshu shoots Liu Rengui, and the right servant of Shangshu shoots Dai Zhide.
Yuan Chao and others actually have the courage to compare with those two.
Li Xuan waved her hands and said solemnly: "That's not the case. I just think that Yuan Canjun has a more changeable temperament. When the governor was here, he was the right-hand man of the governor. He was promoted many times, but when the Tianyin Sect arrived, , he immediately became a loyal minister of the Tianyin Sect, and was awarded the position of Servant Shooter. You know, even when Chen Shuozhen started the uprising, this position was only given to her brother-in-law Zhang Shuyin,"
After a short pause, Li Xuan said calmly: "Yuan Chao was treated very well by the Tianyin Sect, and then when the situation turned bad, he immediately surrendered. His character is unbearable... But even so, I did not refuse his surrender because of this, I just feel that I need to be more cautious, that’s all for now, but if something happens in the future, it will inevitably affect me."
Li Xuan's words immediately revealed everything.
"The prince's concerns should be kept in mind by your subordinates!" Everyone present was an official official.
Such erratic and duplicitous characters are not uncommon, and they have their own ways of dealing with them.
"The others can be put aside for the time being, but the three brothers of the Zhoushan pirate Bai family on the ship are not among the surrenders accepted by the court." Li Xuan said one sentence, and the waves have flowed directly to Yuan Chao.
