"Bang bang bang!" The cabin door was knocked.
Outside the cabin door, Li Zhu's voice immediately sounded: "Your Majesty, the Muzhou navy has slowed down."
In the cabin, Li Xuan looked back. Under the cabin door, the moonlight still shone calmly on the ground.
Li Xuan turned her head and looked at Zhang Wanyu again: "Your brother is here, he is three miles away, and he will be here in a blink of an eye...
If we change the place, it is difficult to predict who will live and who will die between me and him, but tonight, on this Wujiang River, he is dead.
If you can give me the answer to the previous question, then I guarantee that he will leave here alive in the end. "
"Live, no matter how you live, life is worse than death, which is also a kind of living."
Zhang Wanyu raised her head and looked at Li Xuan, with a sneer in her eyes: "Based on what I know about you, you will never let someone go easily; a person who you want to kill and can kill has escaped from your hands alive. It can only show that you are already using him to plot something, this is you."
Li Xuan put her hands on the table, moved it slightly, and said calmly: "I didn't expect you to misunderstand me so deeply. It seems that no matter what I say, you will never believe me, but I I hope you understand that life is better than death, and there is hope for everyone who is alive..."
"Perhaps you should think about it, you might be the one who will die tonight." Zhang Wanyu looked at Li Xuan with a trace of sarcasm on her lips.
Li Xuan's eyes turned cold for a moment, and she spread her fingers, exerting force on her fingertips, but then slowly retracted them.
At other times, he might have grabbed the woman in anger, pinned her down on his lap, and spanked her hard.
But tonight was different. The right time, right place, and right people meant success or failure had already been determined. Any attempt to anger him was useless.
Li Xuan glanced at Zhang Wanyu indifferently and said calmly: "This time, I will not argue with you, but after tonight, I will get back the price you paid for these words with interest."
"Whatever you do." Zhang Wanyu turned her head. Now she only had the strength to speak.
"Bang bang bang!" Li Xuan gently knocked on the table, attracting Zhang Wanyu's attention, and then he spoke again: "It's still the same question. If I don't die tonight, then you tell me the problem. What’s the answer?”
"Why are you so obsessed with knowing the answer to that question?" Zhang Wanyu looked at Li Xuan with some confusion.
"Because knowing the answer to that question means knowing the source of all the turmoil in the entire southeast." Li Xuan looked at Zhang Wanyu deeply.
Zhang Wanyu's eyes suddenly tightened in an instant, and Li Xuan immediately knew that he had guessed correctly.
"I just said that I would like you to meet your brother." Li Xuan looked sideways behind him and said softly: "I still advise you to reconsider. If your brother dies in my hands tonight, then You won’t have the chance to see him for the last time.”
Li Xuan stood up slowly, turned around and was about to walk outside. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at Zhang Wanyu again. Then, with Zhang Wanyu's extremely surprised eyes, he leaned over and grabbed her right arm. .
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Wanyu's right hand was pressed directly on the table by Li Xuan.
Suddenly, Zhang Wanyu saw a wooden thorn firmly held in her right hand.
Li Xuan stretched out her hand to pluck the wooden thorn from the leg of the low table, and then squeezed it hard. In an instant, Li Xuan crushed the wooden thorn into powder.
Li Xuan looked at her, shook his head gently, and said: "This hand of yours will not have any effect other than suicide. Don't worry, I am not a pervert, and I will not touch you easily. But you have to understand that the reason why I am still here I won’t kill you just because you are still of value to me. But if you are of no value to me anymore, you can imagine the consequences yourself. I am not a kind person either.”
After saying that, Li Xuan stood up, turned to look at Qu Ying aside, and said coldly: "Watch her, don't let her commit suicide, don't let her see anything outside, don't let her speak, just let her Just listen."
"Here!" Qu Ying immediately bowed and stared at Zhang Wanyu expressionlessly.
Li Xuan quickly walked to the door. As soon as he opened the door curtain, Li Xuan's steps stopped.
He turned his head and looked at Zhang Wanyu: "Even if my question cannot come from your mouth, you can still ask it from your brother's mouth."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door curtain had been lowered again, and Li Xuan was no longer in the cabin.
Hearing the footsteps leaving quickly, Zhang Wanyu's face suddenly felt a burst of pain, but then she gritted her teeth.
She couldn't tell the answer to that question, not even until she died.
Because once she said it, more people would die.
As for her brother, Zhang Wanyu could only hope that he could live up to his expectations and never get into trouble.
As for herself, Zhang Wanyu had a feeling.
Tonight, no matter what I say or do, it is very likely that it will be part of King Nanchang's plan.
If he really made a sound regardless of everything, he would most likely be used by the King of Nanchang against his brother Wen Fuzhi.
If he really does nothing and something happens to his brother, then he will be completely overwhelmed by the overwhelming self-blame.
No matter what you do, every move you make will be calculated and used by the King of Nanchang.
Zhang Wanyu had already fallen into an extremely difficult dilemma. However, although she kept pulling herself in the endless pain and regret, she suppressed herself tightly and said nothing and did nothing.
It's not bad if you don't do it, trust your brother.
…
The night breeze was blowing, and Li Xuan looked calm and confident as he looked at the approaching warships in the distance.
Zhang Wanyu refused to tell the answer to the question he was most concerned about, so Wen Fuzhi would not tell it easily either.
It is far from easy to use this problem to attack the queen.
The emperor entrusted him with such a difficult problem because he saw the ability that Li Xuan had shown during this period, but this matter was not easy to handle.
Li Xuan looked towards the direction of Shendu, with a hint of solemnity in her expression.
The current Tianyin Sect uprising is, in the final analysis, nothing more than a rebellion by local people who were dissatisfied with the heavy taxes imposed by the imperial court and relied on religion as a link to resist.
No matter how old you are, you can't escape this category, even if Empress Gu is a descendant of Chen, and even if Wen Fuzhi and Zhang Wanyu are descendants of Yuwen.
Moreover, the current events do not involve the entire Wuyue family in any way.
He was not even involved with any important officials of the imperial court, let alone the emperor and the East Palace.
Li Xuan didn't believe that the layout that Empress Wang had planned in Shendu some time ago was in vain just because of his intervention.
Behind all this, there is something more unknown.
The emperor is still paying attention, which explains a lot.
Li Xuan has a feeling that the current Tianyin Sect's uprising is just the most superficial thing.
Under this surface cover, there are more unknown and terrifying facts.
But what exactly is it.
…
The bright moon hangs high, shining brightly on the Wujiang River.
The fleet coming from the north slowly sailed into the Yanxi River bend. The special terrain of Yanxi forced them to slow down.
At the same time, Wen Fuzhi, who was standing on the bow of the ship, immediately saw Li Xuan, who was standing on the 200-meter official ship at the exit of the Yanxi River bend.
Two hundred meters, if you are a master of archery, you can snipe and kill from two hundred meters away.
Looking at Li Xuan, who was wearing black brocade clothes and vaguely wearing inner armor, Wen Fuzhi couldn't help but feel a trace of worry on his brows.
He waved his right hand forward forcefully, and the next moment, the entire warship increased by three points in the most unlikely situation.
Li Xuan looked at this scene calmly, without any emotion in her eyes.
He even looked directly past Wen Fuzhi and fell on the other warships behind him.
Li Xuan began to count silently in her mind: "One ship, two ships, three ships, four ships!"
When he saw the fourth warship passing through the Yanxi River bend, Li Xuan immediately turned his head and looked at Li Zhu: "Send the order, pull the rope, cross the river!"
"Here!" Li Zhu bowed slightly, and the next moment, he suddenly raised his right hand high, and a firework suddenly flew high into the sky, and then exploded quickly.
At this moment, countless footsteps sounded on the river banks on both sides.
Hundreds of Wuzhou soldiers suddenly appeared from the darkness on both sides of the shore, and quickly reached a few dozen meters away from the shore.
Immediately afterwards, I saw them lowering themselves in the moonlight, then vigorously pulling something on the ground, carrying it on their backs, and then quickly turning around and pulling it farther away.
Nearly three hundred people were divided into six teams, three teams on each side of the river. They did not attack the boats on the river. After grabbing things on the ground, they quickly retreated into the dark shadows.
Amidst the sound of "quacking", thick iron chains were pulled directly out of the river.
At the two corners of the "zig", there were three thick chains pulled out of the river.
The sound of "dong dong dong" immediately appeared in the darkness, and it was obvious that someone had already nailed the chain to the shore.
The Wuzhou fleet on the river was divided into three sections in an instant.
All this happened very quickly in the darkness, and it was all completed before anyone could react.
Wen Fuzhi, who was standing on the front boat, immediately stared at Li Xuan opposite.
No wonder he was waiting here. It turned out that he wanted to take advantage of the special terrain here.
"Send someone to break the iron rope immediately, otherwise we will become turtles in the urn." Wen Fuzhi immediately ordered Zhu Si.
Zhu Si nodded with an extremely gloomy expression, and then quickly went to make arrangements.
Now Wen Fuzhi's leading ship and the three following ships have left the "Zig" bend. However, at this time, they have already stopped moving forward. Instead, they are retreating, or even dead. attached to the chain.
I don't know what I'm worried about.
There were five ships trapped in the middle of the chains on both sides.
At the very rear, the remaining six warships lost their command and were at a loss.
…
"You have lost, so why bother struggling? Now put down your weapons and surrender, and I will keep the promises I made to you." Li Xuan's voice was low, but it echoed clearly in the ears of everyone in the Muzhou Navy.
"People say that the King of Nanchang is as cunning as a wild fox. You can't believe a single point of his words." Wen Fuzhi's voice sounded immediately, and Li Xuan's method of transmission was interrupted instantly.
"Speaking of which, why are you doing this? If you want to die yourself, why bother dragging so many people along with you? Your defeat is already certain."
Above the Wujiang River under the bright moon, two voices sounded in turn, as if they were engaging in a battle of wits.
"Oh, it's far from the last moment. The King of Nanchang has already determined that our defeat is certain. This is a bit too arbitrary." Wen Fuzhi looked at Li Xuan in the distance with a cold look.
He didn't want to have this conversation with Li Xuan at all. Although he needed to use this time to stop the Wuzhou soldiers' attack so that they could take this opportunity to break the chains on the river, this conversation was between Li Xuan and Li Xuan. Xuan provoked it.
Someone once warned him that when fighting against the King of Nanchang, just kill him directly and never let him speak.
As soon as he opens his mouth, the outcome of the battle will be taken away by him bit by bit.
But Wen Fuzhi knew that he had to do this now.
The King of Nanchang is here just for this conversation, otherwise, the fatal attack would have already come.
