People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 308 Meritorious woman, assassination details
Shrouded in mist, the walls of the city are thinly shadowed.

The group of people who came to see Li Xuan off had already been completely submerged in the mist.

The breeze swept by, and the light mist was blown over the corner of the clothes.

On the Dongyang River, the speed of the official ship is not fast.

There are not many boats on the river, as long as you pay attention, you don't have to worry about bumping into other boats.

Standing at the bow of the boat, despite the strong wind blowing, Li Xuan's eyes were cold.

This time, inside and outside Dongyang, 150 of the three thousand Tianyin sect elites in An Rongxiang's memory died at the hands of Li Xuan.

In addition, another 50 people were trapped in the Shangxi Gold Mine and could not advance or retreat.

I don't know how Fang Yunxiu, who lives in Wuzhou, will react to this news.

"The Shibi Pass hasn't been released yet, right?" Liang Fuling's voice suddenly came from behind Li Xuan.

When Li Xuan turned around, she saw Liang Fuling standing aside holding Cheng Yan's hand.

Compared to Cheng Yan, who is 17 years old, not very tall, and even has a little baby fat on her face, Liang Fuling, who is only 13 years old, looks very thin standing next to her.

Since the two of them met, they have somehow become good girlfriends.

The always bold Liang Fuling looked at Li Xuan with a hint of provocation, but it was Cheng Yan who bowed respectfully to Li Xuan

Li Xuan ignored Liang Fuling, turned her head and looked to the other side.

Yu Ze, Wang Bo, Du Bixing and others who left Dongyang together with him bowed their hands to Li Xuan: "My lord!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and the three of them turned around and returned to the cabin to deal with many matters before going to Wuzhou City.

For the affairs of Wuzhou to proceed smoothly, a lot of planning and layout needs to be done in advance, and very detailed inferences and calculations are required.

On the deck, there are more than a dozen Qianniu guards standing on both sides.

Li Zhu, who was wearing a blue robe, stood silently in a shadowy corner with a long sword in his hand.

Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen are currently training the soldiers recruited yesterday at the Green Willow Villa.

Some of them will go to Zhoucheng with Li Xuan, and the rest will continue to train here.

After taking a panoramic view of everything, Li Xuan looked at Liang Fuling, nodded, and said, "When I first entered Dongyang, this king ordered that no ship be allowed to enter Dongyang within three days of Shibiguan. It will end, but this is not the only reason why there are not many boats on the river today."

After a short pause, Li Xuan turned to look in the direction of Yiwu, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Because this king also ordered Dongyiguan to block all roads and water passages entering Dongyang, and no one is allowed to enter Dongyang until this king leaves Dongyang, so That’s why there are so few boats on the river.”

There are only boats leaving Dongyang, but there are no boats entering Dongyang.

In order to minimize the outside interference on Li Xuan's handling of Dongyang, it can be said that Li Xuan has done everything she can to the extreme.

"I'm just a little sorry for you, I should have allowed you to disembark and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the area." Li Xuan nodded apologetically.

"What's better, the whole Dongyang sees you plotting to kill people day by day, and the beautiful scenery has become boring!" Liang Fuling gave Li Xuan an angry look, then pulled Cheng Yan's arm, and said: "Sister Cheng, let's go to the back cabin and ignore this bad guy."

After finishing speaking, Liang Fuling had pulled Cheng Yan away, and Cheng Yan gave Li Xuan a helpless look.

Li Xuan nodded slightly before she left with Liang Fuling.

Li Xuan turned around and looked at the wide river in front of her, her expression gradually became serious.

He began to read in a low voice: "Wuzhou, Tianyin Sect, four great families."

Although Wang Fanglin's assassination was fundamentally the reason why he wanted to investigate the fields, it is an indisputable fact that the four great families in Wuzhou and the Tianyin Sect are connected with each other.

If you want to find out the case, you must first find out the exact hidden location of the Tianyin Sect in Wuzhou City, and then you can catch them all.

When Li Xuan was in Luoyang, he had already started to collect relevant information. Now that he had done so many things, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a burst of pressure when he thought of arriving in Wuzhou City.

Because Wuzhou is very close to the home of Tianyin Sect.

……

On the Dongyang River, the speed of the big ship is gradually slowing down, and the Green Willow Villa is in front of it.

The big ship was docked on the shore pier, and the group below had already made preparations.

Li Xuan stood on the deck, watching Qiu Zhenmu bring all the Qianniu Guards and more than 20 guards on board, while Zhou Shen stood below with more than 30 remaining Kuaiji Guards. Li Xuan and Qiu Zhenmu cupped their hands.

Qiu Zhenmu, as Qianniuwei, followed Li Xuan to investigate the assassination of Wang Fanglin, the governor of Wuzhou, so he couldn't leave Li Xuan too far.

Some of the well-trained soldiers were soon incorporated into the formation, while the other part of the slightly inferior soldiers would stay in the Green Willow Villa to continue training.

"One goes straight to the core, and the other stays outside. You really understand the art of war?" A crisp voice sounded from behind Li Xuan.

Li Xuan didn't need to turn around to know that it was Liang Fuling, the daughter of General Ningyuan Yongchang Bo Liangming, and the granddaughter of the founding Jiang Guogong Liang Yan.

The only heir to the Art of War of the entire Liang family, she knew best what Li Xuan was thinking about this arrangement.

"Eggs can't be put in the same basket, but they can't be separated too much!" Li Xuan turned around and looked at Liang Fuling.

Standing beside her was Cheng Yan.

"But even so, the manpower here is too small, and it is easy to be targeted by others!" Liang Fuling pointed out the weakest point of Li Xuan's arrangement in one sentence.

"Even where you can see it, how many times do you think I might not be able to see it?" Li Xuan replied with a hint of meaning.

Liang Fuling's face was stunned, although she suddenly said: "This is a trap!"

"The net has been spread out, now let's see who will accidentally fall into the trap." A sneer appeared on Li Xuan's face.

Dongyang's position is so crucial, how could the Tianyin Sect give up so easily.

If Li Xuan came to attack, he would definitely attack both Wuzhou and Dongyang at the same time, and then use the safety of both sides to affect people's hearts at the same time.

However, once you see through this point, although you will be in danger yourself, it is generally safe to be fully prepared and only love.

In this way, traces of opponents who have been hiding all the time can be caught directly and wiped out in one go.

"You are so scary!" Liang Fuling looked at Li Xuan with a look of disgust on her face. She stretched out her hand to pull Cheng Yan and said, "Sister Cheng, let's go to another place to see... Hey, why are there people on the river?" people?"

Li Xuan turned her head suddenly, and suddenly saw a lone boat coming quickly from the distant river.

There was a man and a woman standing on the boat. The man was wearing a blue gown with mountain patterns. He had an elegant temperament, a personable demeanor, and looked good.

The woman is wearing a pink chest-length skirt, which looks gentle and pleasant from a distance.

Li Xuan didn't know who the man was, but Li Xuan could tell the woman at a glance. It was Du Bixing's daughter Du Liu.

Earlier, Du Liu had already left their boat to find his uncle Huang Jin, the county magistrate of Dongyang.

Unfortunately, until Li Xuan was about to leave Dongyang, the Dongyang magistrate did not show up.

Li Xuan now completely believes that the Dongyang county magistrate was indeed seriously injured when he was in Wuzhou City.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many things happening in Dongyang, he didn't even show his face, and he didn't even have any news.

The clipper quickly approached, and a man and a woman on the clipper boarded the boat very neatly.

This time, it can be clearly seen that the kung fu of the two people is really not weak.

"Du Liu, Huang Ziliu, I've seen the prince!" Du Liu and Huang Ziliu cupped their hands at Li Xuan at the same time.

"Sister Du Xian, brother Huang!" Li Xuan cupped his hands to the two, then pointed to the cabin and said, "You two, let's go into the cabin and talk, Mr. Bixing is also inside now... I don't know how the county magistrate Huang is doing. Wang wants to visit and ask some questions, is it possible?"

"I'm afraid I will disappoint the lord. My father is not in good health now, so he is really not fit to see guests." After a short pause, Huang Ziliu continued: "The student knows what the lord wants to ask. When the assassination in Zhoucheng happened that day, the student happened to be there at the scene!"

"That's good!" Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

As one of the parties involved in the incident, Huang Ziliu knew much more about what happened at the scene than what was recorded in the official document.

Entering the cabin, Huang Ziliu saw Du Bixing at a glance, and immediately cupped his hands: "Ziliu has seen my uncle!"

Seeing Huang Ziliu, Du Bixing immediately became serious: "Why are you here? Is there someone taking care of your father?"

"Father has already fallen asleep. According to father's habit, he should wake up in two hours. My nephew is here to apologize to the prince, and then he will return to Shanyang Villa." Huang Ziliu immediately explained seriously.

"So, I don't want to waste time." Li Xuan interrupted Du Bixing's questioning with a smile, looked at Huang Ziliu, and said, "Brother Huang, please tell me in detail what happened that day. "

"Actually, on that day, my father and the county magistrates of Jinhua, Pujiang, Yiwu, and Longyou followed the governor, Changshi and Sima to celebrate the birthday of the old man of the Shen family. At the street corner, the killer suddenly exploded, I didn't see what was going on at all, my father had already fallen to the ground, and after that, the lord knew all about it." Huang Ziliu described in detail what he knew over again.

There are two killers, one on the left and one on the right, holding long swords, and they have already exploded in the blink of an eye.

No one could see clearly what was going on, the governor Wang Fanglin and the chief secretary Li Ai fell to the ground on the spot.

Immediately, the two killers rushed into the crowd and started the massacre.

The speed was astonishingly fast. Although Huang Ziliu was young, he also had the innate cultivation of the True Seed, but he still couldn't see the movements of the two killers clearly.

Fortunately, he was concerned about his father's safety at that time, so he hugged his father and turned aside, otherwise, he might not escape bad luck.

In that assassination, the only recorded deceased was Chang Shi Li Ai, but Li Ai was not the only one who was actually killed or injured.

I don't know how many entourages, guards, and arresters all died there, but none of them were recorded.

"A master." Li Xuan sighed with emotion.

Regardless of whether the opponent is a martial arts practitioner or a Taoist inheritance, daring to assassinate the governor of a state in the street is second to none in terms of ability and courage.

According to Huang Ziliu's description, all this happened very quickly.

In a very short period of time, the two killers had killed through the crowd, and then walked away.

The rest of them couldn't even stop them, and they didn't even know where the other party fled in the end.

"Afterwards, Sima sent people to search the entire city, but they still found nothing." Huang Ziliu's face was a little embarrassed.

"You came back at night." Li Xuan said suddenly, looking at Huang Ziliu.

"Yes, all the superiors actually drank a lot." Huang Ziliu looked at Li Xuan, turned his head and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"No!" Li Xuan smiled, then cupped her hands and said to Huang Ziliu, "I already know what happened that day, thank you Brother Huang, I will definitely pay a visit to County Magistrate Huang after Wuzhou is settled down."

"Don't dare, the lord is too polite!" Huang Ziliu returned the salute to Li Xuan calmly, and then asked curiously: "Actually, the student still knows a lot of details, but the lord..."

"Thank you, Brother Huang!" Li Xuan smiled politely, and said, "It's just that there are a lot of strange things in this matter, and I need to think about it. Uncle Yu entertained Brother Huang for me, and I need to sort out my thoughts. .”

After finishing speaking, Li Xuan turned around and left, ignoring the stunned expressions of everyone present.

"It seems that the prince has thought of something!" Yu Ze said lightly.

All the people present, Wang Bo and Du Bixing's expressions became solemn at the same time.

Only Du Liu and Huang Ziliu looked blank.
