It was a hazy night, inside Muzhou Prefecture Office, the gravel path stretched deep into the backyard.
Li Xuan returned to her bedroom smelling of alcohol.
As soon as the door closed, his expression completely sobered up in an instant.
After returning from Weiping in Xishan today, Li Xuan immediately received the first batch of Taoist and Buddhist masters from Wuzhou who arrived.
More Taoist and Buddhist people will arrive in the future, and this time they can only rely on them to completely eradicate the Tianyin Sect's foundation in Muzhou.
So when she met someone who was a good drinker, Li Xuan could only stay with him.
Just as he lay down on the bed, a voice suddenly sounded in Li Xuan's ears: "Do you really want to completely uproot me?"
Li Xuan didn't seem to be surprised at all by the sudden sound, and replied calmly: "If the Tianyin Sect wants to last forever, it can't rely on a useless Taiyin goddess, named Taishang, or... Maitreya reincarnated, or Ziwei came to earth, Haotian descended..."
"These are all male gods." The voice in the darkness had a hint of complaint.
"My mother has no life, my hometown is empty."
"Control the sun and moon, govern the immortals immeasurably."
"The colored glaze is blazing, the Dharma flower purifies the world."
A series of slogans were read out by Li Xuan at will, and behind each slogan was a top mythical figure.
The Innocent Old Mother, the Golden Mother of Yaochi, the Mother of Lotus Buddha.
These bosses are much more powerful than the Tianyin Goddess.
There was silence for a moment, Li Xuan stretched out his arms, and a warm and soft body squeezed into his arms.
Looking at the pretty face with confusion in her eyes, Li Xuan reached out and pinched her nose, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here suddenly?"
Zhang Wanyu buried her head under Li Xuan's chin and whispered: "The Holy Queen asked me to go down the mountain to contact the Muzhou Hidden Branch and prepare a few new identities so that I can leave Muzhou later."
"She is preparing to retreat." Li Xuan nodded calmly.
Now Li Xuan and Duan Baoxuan are plotting against the queen, Qiu Shenji and Huai Jin are also plotting against the queen, and she herself has a final plan of destruction.
Before you get to that point, you have to consider your fallback.
After a change of thought, Li Xuan asked in a low voice: "Then why did she withdraw from Shezhou? How many troops are left now?"
"The reason we withdrew from Shezhou was because the cult members suffered heavy casualties. Although Beiye was captured, we were unable to follow up. Once we continue to attack Shexian and Shezhou City, I am afraid that the soldiers will be completely damaged before they can be captured. In addition, the weather has passed. Therefore, we retreated to the mountains and used the mechanisms in the mountains to respond to the enemy."
Having said this, Zhang Wanyu raised her head, looked at Li Xuan, and said with a worried look: "Your Majesty, please do not enter the mountains at will, especially close to the depths of Black Dragon Ridge. Anyone who enters there may not be able to come out alive. Moreover, once the officers and soldiers are severely damaged, the believers may even fight out again. At that time, whether it is Shezhou or Muzhou, the situation can easily be reversed.".z.
Using retreat as an opportunity to advance, the Queen's move is indeed sophisticated.
"I understand." Li Xuan nodded immediately.
As soon as the three words "Black Dragon Ridge" came out, Li Xuan immediately felt a huge warning coming from his spiritual sense.
"It seems that Black Dragon Ridge should be the last level of Tianyin Sect." Li Xuan looked down at Zhang Wanyu and whispered: "Don't go to Black Dragon Ridge either. Although Black Dragon Ridge sounds extremely dangerous, there is a weakness. It’s unavoidable no matter what.”
"What's the weakness?" Zhang Wanyu looked surprised. From her point of view, Black Dragon Ridge was heavily guarded and full of traps. Even gods would have to be peeled off three layers of skin if they entered, let alone ordinary mortals.
"Fire!" Li Xuan's words made the whole room feel suffocated.
Zhang Wanyu's expression changed slightly for a moment, and finally she had to nod.
The most feared thing in the mountains and forests is fire. Once the officers and soldiers are seriously damaged, they may really set fire to the mountains regardless of the cost.
With the fire, no matter how many traps you have laid out, they will only be completely destroyed in the fire.
Especially, there is someone right now
The character who masterfully plays with fire and water is...
"By the way, did the King of East China Sea and King of the West Region show up for this battle at Tianmu Mountain?" Li Xuan asked tightly.
The identity of the King of the Western Regions is Tubo, and the identity of the King of the East China Sea is far from simple.
"The King of the Western Regions will not come. There seems to be something going on in Tubo that prevents him from getting away. I originally thought it was an excuse, but later the Holy Queen said it was true. Something really happened in Tubo." Zhang Wanyu said. The affairs in Tubo were discussed very happily.
"Tubo?" Li Xuan muttered these two names in her mind. The next thing Datang really had to deal with was Tubo.
The war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty will last for hundreds of years. Even if they can defeat Tubo countless times under the plateau, it will be difficult for them to penetrate deep into the plateau and completely wipe out the Tubo inheritance unless they can prepare enough anti-altitude sickness weapons. drug.
"The King of East China Sea will not come either. His identity is even more sensitive. The Holy Queen alone knows the true identity of him and the King of the West Region. Even I cannot easily test them." At this point, Zhang Wanyu couldn't help but shake her head.
"We are all smart people. We all know that the Tianyin Sect's uprising is unlikely to succeed this time, so we are not even willing to reach out."
Li Xuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The Tianyin Sect's uprising this time seemed to be huge, but the court was more fully prepared, and many people were not optimistic about it from the beginning.
"Fortunately, we were lucky enough to meet the king." Zhang Wanyu held Li Xuan's hand tightly and raised her head, her eyes full of hope.
"Haha!" Li Xuan couldn't help but smile, hugged her hard, and then whispered: "Actually, even if it's not me this time, someone else will come...because I The king has done quite well, so the court has never replaced the governor. But if the governor is replaced by a senior general in the court, such as Pingyang County Duke..."
Zhang Wanyu's expression suddenly changed.
When they heard the name of Pingyang County Duke Xue Rengui, even people like them in the southeast felt a sense of trepidation.
When Li Xuan killed people, people already told him to kill thousands of people, but Xue Rengui directly asked others to kill him.
Li Xuan shook his head calmly and said: "In addition to Pingyang County Duke, there are also Pei Xingjian, Minister of War, Hei Chi Changzhi, Lou Shide, Liang County Duke Li Xiaoyi, Zuowuwei General Cheng Wuting, and even Yuezhou Governor Duan Baoxuan. He is an extremely difficult person to deal with.”
Duan Baoxuan's calculations made even Li Xuan feel ashamed.
Just one point, since the Tianyin Sect raised its troops, there has been no chaos at all in the establishment of six states across Taiwan and Wuquan, and there has been no chance for Wen Fu and others, so we can know what his methods are.
Listen to the thunder in the silent place.
Only this kind of person can stand up to the Empress Tianyin.
This is why there are figures like Huai Jin and conspirators like Qiu Shenji in the army, and why Li Xuan is not worried at all about something happening on the front line.
There were a series of vicious characters. Li Xuan could clearly feel Zhang Wanyu's heartbeat speeding up. He patted her on the back and said softly: "The empress has now asked you to start preparing for a retreat. This shows that she knows the overall situation well. Let's start." Prepare for his resurrection."
No one dares to underestimate Empress Gu. If the Tianyin Sect had not been short of talents at the middle and lower levels, then with the power of their sect, they might have overturned the entire Wuyue Fourteenth Prefecture.
"Yes!" Zhang Wanyu responded softly, then raised her head and said, "Although the King of East China Sea didn't come, his people did."
"Who?" Li Xuan asked subconsciously.
"Thousand-faced Buddha."
"Thousand-faced Buddha." Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, but he soon came to his senses. .
How could he forget that Thousand Faced Buddha and Bian Zhang were both subordinates of King Donghai.
The Thousand-Faced Buddha is here, which means that the King of East China Sea has arrived.
Li Xuan now finally understood why the Thousand-Faced Buddha arrived at the Tianyin Sect's main altar but never showed up.
As a subordinate of the King of the East China Sea, how could the Empress allow him to act as he pleased in the main altar.
As for being discovered by the queen, Zhang Wanyu's attitude has already explained the result.
In addition, if you look at it from the King of Donghai's point of view, he sent the Thousand-Faced Buddha to the Tianyin Sect Main Altar, probably not just to deliver things. He also had his own things to do at the Tianyin Sect Main Altar.
Just like Ye Wanwan.
From all aspects, it seems that Ye Wanwan has a great background.
Thinking of this, Li Xuan quickly turned around and asked, "Where are you going to retreat?"
"Yangzhou." Zhang Wanyu looked at Li Xuan and whispered: "The Yangzhou designated by the Holy Queen is Yangzhou where Yinzhi started to make preparations. By the way, the elder Yinzhi is Zhao Cen, the teacher of Muzhou. Although he is from the Tianshui Zhao family A disciple, but a side branch."
Common people and good people, ordinary people and aristocratic families, common people and poor families and aristocratic wealthy families, collateral families and direct descendants, all the contradictions in the world are here.
"Yeah!" Li Xuan nodded nonchalantly.
He had already figured out Zhao Cen's identity when they first met him. The reason why he didn't touch him was to keep him for Zhang Wanyu's use.
Now that the queen is still alive, he is naturally loyal to the queen. As for the queen's death, whether he will choose to be loyal to Zhang Wanyu depends on his own choice.
If he is willing, then Li Xuan doesn't mind if he continues to live.
If he doesn't want to, then he can only be sent to reunite with his queen.
Everyone is waiting to tear off a piece of fat from the Tianyin Sect.
"Listen to me, don't go to Yangzhou, or even Hangzhou." Li Xuan sighed softly, looked at the pretty face that came to her eyes, reached out to touch her smooth cheek, and whispered: "Go to Quzhou, pass by Quzhou, entering the junction of Huizhou, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, will have temporary room for maneuver. Yangzhou and Hangzhou are both dead ends."
"Okay!" Zhang Wanyu agreed directly without any hesitation.
"Of course, if someone competes with you for control of the Tianyin Sect, let them go to Hangzhou and Yangzhou." Li Xuan handed a knife to Zhang Wanyu's hand with her backhand.
"I understand." Zhang Wanyu really listened attentively.
Li Xuan said that Hangzhou was in danger, so the imperial court must have made arrangements in Hangzhou, so it must have been arranged.
Zhang Wanyu herself is the leader of Yuhang Hall of Tianyin Sect. Even she did not notice the crisis, which means that the crisis is indeed hidden deep enough. If she accidentally stepped into it, it would be unpredictable.
"I will arrange for them to hide and leave slowly." Zhang Wanyu began to think about the manpower under her command.
"Be careful, don't be too deliberate." Li Xuan tightened her arms around Zhang Wanyu, clearly feeling her heartbeat.
"I understand." Zhang Wanyu raised her head, looked at Li Xuan with tender eyes, and whispered: "What do you think is the most annoying animal in the world?"
"What is it?"
"It's a mosquito!"
"mosquito?"
