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

Chapter 316 Being calculated by others, the action is stuck

A black and quaint manor covering an area of ​​more than 20 acres is located on the long street in the northwest of Wuzhou City.

The side door on the east side of the manor opened, and a pear-wooden carriage drove in slowly.

Immediately, the black courtyard door was closed, and everything was isolated.

The carriage drove forward slowly in the courtyard. There were not many servants and handymen along the way. When they saw the carriage, they stood respectfully aside with their hands tied.

Finally, the carriage stopped in front of an elegant courtyard on the northwest side of the manor.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and an elder in Tsing Yi with a dashing expression came out from inside.

Yang Yan, among the four major families in Wuzhou, the current head of the Yang family.

Among the four great families in Wuzhou, the Yang clan is the weakest.

There are only seven or eight people in a generation, but no one dares to underestimate the Yang family.

Yang Hu, the ancestor of the Yang family, was born in a famous family in the Han and Wei dynasties. Unfortunately, the family of poems and books suffered heavy losses several times during the troubled times of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the end of the Sui Dynasty.

It was only in this dynasty that he gradually slowed down.

But even though the population is thin, there are many children of the Yang family who serve as county magistrates and county magistrates in various places.

Even a certain person is expected to go one step further.

Among the four major families in Wuzhou, the Yang family is only inferior to the Shen family.

……

Yang Yan waved his hand, and the servants and maids standing on both sides immediately bowed and retreated.

After everyone left, Yang Yan walked forward slowly, and pushed open the courtyard door in front of him with a complicated expression.

The next moment, a small courtyard appeared in front of Yang Yan.

At this moment, a gentle and handsome man in a white ink pattern robe was standing to one side, with his hands behind his back, watching two thirteen or fourteen-year-old children practicing calligraphy.

"Mr. Fang." Yang Yan looked at the handsome man in front of him, with complex expressions on his face.

"It turns out that Old Yang is back." Mr. Fang reached out and patted the shoulders of the two young children, and said gently, "Let's leave it at that for today, you guys are back."

"Yes, sir!" The two young children bowed their hands earnestly to Mr. Fang, then turned to look at Yang Yan on the side, and saluted respectfully: "Ah Weng!"

"Let's go eat. After dinner, we will rest early today." Yang Yan's face was filled with kind smiles at some point, and he nodded to the two young children.

The two children bowed immediately, and quickly backed out.

When the two children left, Yang Yan's expression darkened in an instant.

Looking at Mr. Fang in front of him, Yang Yan's face became very scary, and he even felt that he wanted to rush up and bite immediately, but for some reason, he didn't dare to move.

Yang Yan stood at the door, looked at Mr. Fang, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and shouted angrily: "You are really crazy, you dare to use the Fuyuan crossbow to shoot and kill the king of Nanchang before he even entered the city, you are really not afraid Is the imperial court directly dispatching troops to the south?"

Wuzhou is located in the west of Zhejiang, but only one of the four nearby states, Yuezhou, has a military force of Zhechong Prefecture.

Although this Zhechong Mansion is an elite soldier, the strength of the Tianyin Sect is also not weak.

Once the uprising swept across the southeast, the momentum would be even greater.

If they weren't worried that the emperor would urgently transfer the troops of Zhechong Mansion in Yangzhou to enter Zhejiang before the preparations were completed, I am afraid that at this time, the entire Wuzhou and the entire Jiangzuo land would have completely changed color.

However, Yangzhou has four troops from Zhechong Prefecture, one of which is still a navy.

Regardless of whether they are walking along the canal or near the sea, the troops of the four Zhechong prefectures in Yangzhou can quickly enter Jiangzuo.

Once they arrive in Jiangzuo, the entire Tianyin Sect will end up not much better than 20 years ago without being fully prepared.

Not only that, the imperial court still has a force of Zhechong Mansion in Fumin, Jiangyou also has a force of Zhechong Mansion, and Shexuan still has half a force of Zhechong Mansion.

The way of the Tianyin Sect had been blocked long ago. If there is no careful and proper planning, their future will surely be another dead end.

Therefore, when they act, they will be extra careful.

……

"Wait, Mr. Yang, wait, Mr. Yang is talking about shooting, who shot and killed the king of Nanchang, and even used Fuyuan crossbow."

Mr. Fang was stunned, but his face darkened immediately. Looking at Yang Yan, he frowned and said, "Looking at the current state of Yang Lao, it seems that Nanchang King didn't have any accidents. This assassination..."

"Don't play dumb here." Yang Yan interrupted Mr. Fang directly, and looked at him with a sneer: "You assassinated the King of Nanchang in full view, and countless people in the entire Wuzhou saw it. I admit it."

These people even used their whole family as a threat, Yang Yan didn't believe there was anything they didn't dare not do.

"I know that Mr. Yang is full of prejudice against me, but I would like to ask Mr. Yang to tell me about today's matter." Mr. Fang asked with a sincere face, but he was full of doubts: "Mr. Yang is going to the city gate today. Greeting the King of Nanchang, what happened, did someone really assassinate the King of Nanchang?"

Yang Yan suddenly closed his mouth, looked at Mr. Fang, and even couldn't help but took two steps back, his eyes were full of vigilance.

Looking at Yang Yan in such a state, Mr. Fang saw through his thoughts at a glance: "Mr. Yang is always worried about the reaction of the King of Nanchang after today's assassination from Mr. Yang? Hehe... Actually, I am not afraid of Mr. Yang's jokes. At the gate of the city today, the number of eyeliners I teach is probably far beyond the imagination of the old man, so even if the old man doesn't say anything, someone will tell the king in detail, but for the sake of Sun Hao..."

"Okay, I'll tell you!" Yang Yan looked at Mr. Fang, no matter how much he gritted his teeth, he finally chose to compromise, just like he did before.

Soon, Yang Yan explained everything he saw at the city gate in detail.

Finally, Yang Yan said with a sneer: "The King of Nanchang has sent people to cleanse all the Tianyin believers who guard the city gate, and his commander Qianniuwei has followed your killers to chase you out. Follow it to my house."

"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, even in my sect, not many people know about the matter in the Yang family." After a slight pause, Mr. Fang frowned, as if talking to himself: "The people in the sect Most of the elites have sneaked out of the city.

And this seat also deliberately emphasized that these days when King Nanchang arrived in Wuzhou, don't mess around, everything is waiting for an incident, but what happened today, why did someone suddenly do it, and who did it? "

Seeing Mr. Fang's appearance, countless surprises appeared on Yang Yan's face: "You really didn't do it."

Mr. Fang shook his head calmly, and said, "Old Yang, do you think it is necessary for me to keep this secret from you given our current relationship?"

"Who knows, the old man thought you were an honest gentleman at the beginning, so he let his two grandchildren learn from you. Who would have thought that you are a wolf-faced bastard who poisoned the two children." Yang Yan bit He gritted his teeth and looked at Mr. Fang. This is the reason why he is under the control of others now.

"Old Yang is deeply prejudiced, and I have nothing to say." Mr. Fang bowed sincerely to Yang Yan, and then said: "Please avoid Elder Yang now, and I need to contact my colleagues in the church to confirm what happened. What is it?"

"Hmph!" Hearing that he was driven away, Yang Yan immediately snorted coldly, then turned and left.

The Yang family's poems and books are handed down, and etiquette is very heavy. Even in the face of someone like Mr. Fang, Yang Yan still subconsciously closed the door.

Maybe it's etiquette, or maybe it's worried that other people will find this place.

Mr. Fang didn't pay attention to these things. He sat in front of the desk and looked at the ground in front of him, lost in thought.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded behind Mr. Fang.

A curvaceous black-clothed girl in a black dark pattern half-arm shirt walked behind Mr. Fang. She wore a black veil on her face. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, she could only see a pretty silhouette and a pair of Indifferent eyes, but if Li Xuan was here, he would be able to recognize this old acquaintance at a glance.

Ye Wanwan, the saintess of the Tianyin sect, an incomparably beautiful, surly saint of the Tianyin sect.

When she was in Yangzhou before, Ye Wanwan, the saint of Tianyin Sect who almost died in the hands of Li Xuan, unexpectedly appeared in Wuzhou at this moment.

"Fang Yunxiu, when did you send someone to assassinate the King of Nanchang?" Ye Wanwan looked at Fang Yunxiu in confusion.

Fang Yunxiu, the person who lurks in the Yang family in Wuzhou and threatens Yang Yan's two young grandchildren is naturally Fang Yunxiu, the head of the Wuzhou Hall of the Tianyin Sect. Do it yourself.

Moreover, Ye Wanwan didn't believe a single word Fang Yunxiu explained to Yang Yan.

Standing behind Fang Yunxiu, she asked with doubts in her eyes: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't do anything to the King of Nanchang before you found out the details of him? Why did you change your mind now?"

"I haven't changed my mind, and I've never arranged it like this before." Fang Yunxiu shook her head slightly, and said with a sullen expression: "The king of Nanchang is shrewd and not weak, and besides, there are many people protecting him, both openly and secretly. It's actually not easy to assassinate him, so I'm going to use other methods to target him, strangle him step by step, but I never thought of doing it now..."

"However, I have to admit that it is indeed a very good idea to use the Fuyuan crossbow to shoot at the gate of the city, but unfortunately, he still avoided it." Ye Wanwan said, her face suddenly showing incomparable hatred look.

"No, that's not a good idea. On the contrary, it's an absolutely bad idea, even an outrageously bad idea." Fang Yunxiu raised her head sharply, staring at Ye Wanwan intently.

Ye Wanwan glanced at Fang Yunxiu angrily, "Why are you looking at me like that? It's only been a few days since I came down from the mountain, and I've been under your nose the whole time. How can I have the time to dispatch assassins?"

"If it's not the saint, then who is it?" Turning around slowly, Fang Yunxiu gritted her teeth and said, "This rash act has already shaken the power of the sect's guards in Wuzhou City.

Even if the saint is not in Wuzhou, she should understand that only when the gate of Wuzhou city is in our hands can we take down Wuzhou city steadily.

Once the city gate is released, it means that Jiaozhong's layout in Wuzhou has lost its initiative. "

If he succeeded in assassinating Li Xuan, it would be fine, but if he failed, he would have serious troubles.

"The matter has already happened, and it is useless to pursue it. What we should think about now is how to clean up the troubles." Ye Wanwan looked at Fang Yunxiu with a serious face, and warned: "The king of Nanchang is the kind of person who has a strong desire for revenge. He was in Yangzhou back then. At that time, he had obviously left, but in the end he came back after killing him."

Thinking of the last battle in the manor outside the city, Ye Wanwan's heart was inexplicably terrified again.

Back in Yangzhou, it was Ye Wanwan who took the lead in killing Li Xuan when he was returning home after accepting a banquet from the aristocratic family in Hangzhou.

Then not only did Li Xuan not die, but a group of people from the Tianyin Sect would destroy all the layouts in and out of Yangzhou.

Even the master of the Huaiyang Hall, two of the four elders, died in Yangzhou, and both of them died under Li Xuan's hands.

"Yangzhou is like this, Hangzhou is like this, and Wuzhou is like this now." Ye Wanwan looked at Fang Yunxiu, brows raised suddenly: "So, you will never do anything to the King of Nanchang, so apart from you, I, Who else in the sect will fight against the King of Nanchang? Could it be that in the entire Wuzhou, besides you and me, are there other high-level figures in the sect?"

"I don't know, maybe there is, or maybe not, but I know, this time, we are passive." Fang Yunxiu looked at the setting sun in the distance, and her heart felt inexplicably heavy.

Ye Wanwan stood on one side. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she quickly grasped it: "When we were in Yangzhou, the sect planned to assassinate the King of Nanchang, but in the end it was us who suffered heavy losses. If you think about it carefully, it seems that everything is arranged in advance by him, and if you think about it today, it will be the same."

Fang Yunxiu raised her eyebrows fiercely, smashed her fist in her hand, and shouted: "Damn it, it was tricked by the King of Nanchang..."

At this moment, the evening drum was suddenly struck heavily, which directly interrupted Fang Yunxiu's words.

Today's curfew has been brought forward.
