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

Chapter 346 Gradually getting into the trap, He Lao suddenly arrived

In the early morning, the bedroom was empty, and the cold air was tinged with turbidity.

A graceful figure finally sat up from the bed, with a white veil casually draped over her body.

The green lotus flower coat covers all the spring light.

Ye Wanwan let out a long breath, looked at Hu Ling'er who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, and couldn't help shaking her head.

Sad night.

Standing up a little weakly, Ye Wanwan walked to the table, picked up the herbal tea that was placed aside, took a sip slowly, and then spit it directly into the spittoon, the smell in her mouth completely dissipated .

She had already said last night that she was unwell and that her period had come suddenly, but Li Xuan still let her stay.

Ye Wanwan looked at the door, which was closed tightly, but from the gap, she could see that the number of Qianniuwei outside was less than half of what it was last night.

The King of Nanchang had already left, and Ye Wanwan was finally relieved.

I don't know what suddenly came to mind, Ye Wanwan's face flushed, and she quickly stretched out her hand to fan the wind, so that the heat on her face dissipated quickly.

"Huh!" Ye Wanwan's eyes fell on the table, on which there was a piece of paper, and it seemed that there were two small figures drawn on the paper.

Ye Wanwan turned to look at the bed. Hu Linger was still sleeping soundly. With the intensity of last night, she might not be able to wake up for a while.

Ye Wanwan walked carefully behind the table and looked at the two small figures on the rice paper.

One was wearing gray armor in ocher clothes, and the other was wearing a short gray robe.

The faces of the villains were not very clear, but with the weapons in their hands, Ye Wanwan recognized them at a glance.

One is an elite soldier of the Tianyin Sect who has been carefully trained for several years, and the other is a sergeant of the Tianyin Sect hiding in the government offices of various states and counties.

Although the Tianyin Sect can gather a large number of people in a short period of time, wars are never won by numbers.

Military spirit, weapons, battle armor, ordnance, all aspects are indispensable.

At best, the Tianyin sect is worse than the imperial court in terms of military spirit, and the three thousand elites they have trained can barely compete with the imperial court's soldiers, but in terms of weapons, armor, and ordnance, they are far inferior to the imperial court's side.

It is precisely because of this that those soldiers hiding in the yamen in various places have always kept a low profile.

They are waiting, once the day of the uprising is reached, they will start to mobilize, not only can quickly respond to the siege of the army outside the city, but also quickly occupy the armories, grain depots, carriages, warships, etc. needed for war in various places. of various materials.

In a short period of time, the Tianyin Sect can be quickly armed and become a real army.

This is very important to their Tianyin Sect's plan.

It's just a pity that in Wuzhou, both of their strengths have been severely hit.

Needless to say about Zhoucheng, the key is Dongyang. More than [-] elites were killed or trapped in Dongyang. This kind of thing is not acceptable to ordinary people.

Fang Yunxiu withdrew the elite from the city ahead of time, now it seems that it is right or wrong.

If he didn't do this, maybe he wouldn't have to die in Wuzhou city.

If he did...

Ye Wanwan couldn't help shaking her head. If he really did this, those elites might have been killed by the King of Nanchang last night.

Ye Wanwan had an intuition that in the hands of the King of Nanchang, there must be some unknown trump card, waiting for the main force of the Tianyin Sect to take advantage of it.

Raising her head, Ye Wanwan glanced at the black sword pouch hanging on the wall.

The five familiar short swords in the sword bag made Ye Wanwan shudder.

Severing palms and killing lives, these two killers in the Mysterious Embryo Realm also died in Wuzhou, Ye Wanwan still can't figure out what happened.

Looking down at the two villains drawn on the rice paper, Ye Wanwan's heart grew colder and colder.

Li Xuan drew these two villains on paper, but her intention was definitely not that simple.

Lanxi, Ye Wanwan immediately thought of Lanxi.

After Fang Yunxiu evacuated the people from Zhoucheng, most of them were evacuated to Lanxi.

Especially for the elite who came out of the mountains, Fang Yunxiu was even more afraid that they would die in Li Xuan's hands.

Because these people are unfamiliar faces in Wuzhou City.

In the past, what they had to deal with was only the Wuzhou family. Those people didn't pay much attention to this aspect, and they could fool them as long as they covered up a little bit. Everyone withdrew.

Otherwise, they would stay in the city, and if they wanted to avoid being discovered, they would have to disperse and lurk, and the King of Nanchang was a good hand at catching such loopholes.

But in the end, people withdrew, but Fang Yunxiu died in the city.

Now it is meaningless to investigate who is right here, and the most important thing now is the soldiers of Wuzhou.

Ye Wanwan looked at the villain in the painting in front of her, and she knew in her heart that the King of Nanchang already had a way to target Lanxi's people.

Ye Wanwan subconsciously picked up the rice paper, and at that moment, Ye Wanwan saw the call to action under the rice paper.

"Wuzhou's Essay on Disputing Tianyin against Religion":
...causing the thieves to become ambitious, molesting the foolish people, falling into sorcery, not understanding the absurdity of the gatha, and relentlessly believing in the reality of the sky...

Thieves, preposterous.

Ye Wanwan saw the real core of this statement at a glance. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Is there a Goddess of Tianyin? In this world, is there anyone who knows better than her, a saint?
Such a proclamation was issued to cooperate with the prohibition order and the land reclamation order that the King of Nanchang was already implementing.

The hearts of the people in Wuzhou and Muzhou will definitely be greatly shaken.

During this period, their support for the uprising in the church will definitely be reduced to a minimum.

Personnel, military spirit, weapons, armor, ordnance, all aspects will be greatly affected.

Even if there is a problem in one aspect, it will greatly affect the overall situation.

Trouble.

After Nanchang King's method after method, it was difficult for them to parry, especially now that Fang Yunxiu was dead again.

Moreover, no one knows what kind of tricks Li Xuan will use next.

No, there must be.

……

Ye Wanwan carefully put the call to action, and then covered it with rice paper.

Made no signs of being touched at all.

Looking sideways at Hu Ling'er who was still soundly asleep, Ye Wanwan changed her dress again, washed up a bit, then opened the door and walked out.

It's been a night, and she's hungry, and her clothes need to be changed.

Taking the breakfast that Li Xuan deliberately left for her and Hu Linger from the kitchen, Ye Wanwan returned to her room.

Bai Lao is now in the outer court, so he can't be seen easily, and even if she wants to use him to pass the news, Ye Wanwan doesn't know who to pass it on.

Now Ye Wanwan should think about how she can leave here without showing any trace.

With her strength, it would not be difficult to escape from the Nanchang palace if she forced her way in, but with her identity, she might have to give up.

For some reason, in the bottom of Ye Wanwan's heart, she had an inexplicable feeling that she didn't want to give up this identity.

Ugh!
Sighing inexplicably, Ye Wanwan pushed open the door of her room with her breakfast in hand.

It's now three o'clock...

"Saint!" A voice suddenly sounded from behind the door.

Ye Wanwan's body trembled slightly, then she put down the breakfast in her hand, turned around, her complexion became stern in an instant,

"Old Crane!" Ye Wanwan put her hands forward, overlapping her ring finger and little finger, raised her middle and index fingers, hooked her thumbs together, and saluted solemnly.

"Saint!" The silver-haired old He bowed slightly, and then looked at Ye Wanwan with a sword-like gaze.

From her hair, to the corners of her eyes, the wings of her nose, her lips, her chest and waist, her hips, and even her legs and feet, I looked at her from top to bottom.

Ye Wanwan trembled all over, suddenly, she had an inexplicable feeling of being seen through.

But soon, Ye Wanwan adjusted her mentality. After all, she had nothing to lose.

Elder He finally withdrew his gaze, looked at Ye Wanwan with a frown, and said, "Why did the Holy Maiden do this herself? Don't Fang Yunxiu's subordinates even have one or two competent people? He really deserves to die for being so bold." .”

"Hall Master Fang is also a helpless move. The original plan was to lure him into the trap by using the little girl to assassinate the King of Nanchang as a bait. However, he never thought that he would go one step ahead and directly attack Fang Yunxiu." Ye Wan Wan's tone of voice was cautious.

He Lao is not only the head of the four elders in the sect, but also the most trusted person around the sect empress.

When the incident broke out, she was always by her side, and it was rare for her to fight together with her in that battle.

In addition to the leader of the sect, He Lao is the real number two figure, and his status is even higher than that of the general manager Wen Fu.

"The saint is wrong. Fang Yunxiu didn't use the saint to assassinate the King of Nanchang as bait, but to use the saint as bait, and the failure to assassinate the saint as bait..." He Lao's eyes became fierce, and he said with resentment "He really deserves to die. If something happens to the saint, even if the King of Nanchang doesn't kill him, I will kill him myself."

"Old He!" Ye Wanwan couldn't help but yelled.

Ye Wanwan didn't even recognize Elder He with such a face.

For many years, although Ye Wanwan was a saint, she had an awkward position in the church, so ordinary believers and ordinary believers took her seriously.

None of the other powerful hall masters really looked at her directly, and it was already pretty good to show some respect on the face.

"Saint, we have to leave here immediately." Elder He reached out and grabbed Ye Wanwan's arm.

Ye Wanwan didn't resist at all, and couldn't resist.

He Lao is the second best in the sect after the leader, and he is only one step away from breaking through the Xuantai to become the Yin God. With Ye Wanwan's innate strength, she can't resist now.

"What about Zhoucheng, Mr. He, shall we leave it alone?" Ye Wanwan took a step forward and couldn't help asking a question.

The old man loosened his hands slightly, then looked at Ye Wanwan with a serious face and said, "Saint, the matter of Wuzhou is not within your scope of responsibility. Now that Wuzhou has evolved to such a degree, Fang Yunxiu is solely responsible for it. Now that he is dead, there is no room for further investigation."

After a short pause, Elder He followed up and said: "As for the follow-up of Wuzhou, most of the forces in the Wuzhou Hall have been dispersed. When the time comes, it will be no problem to gather the masses and win the entire Wuzhou. Fang Yunxiu should have withdrawn a long time ago." The one who came out of Wuzhou died because he was too self-confident."

"Then what about the King of Nanchang, He Lao, do you want to..." Ye Wanwan stretched out her right hand lightly, and then slashed in the air.

"I've tried it, but I can't do it." Ye Wanwan was startled by He Lao's words, and then He Lao said calmly: "Nanchang King is always accompanied by dozens of Qianniu Guards, and he himself is extremely vigilant. Plus his strength is not bad, it is very difficult to kill him."

Ye Wanwan looked at Elder He cautiously, and cautiously suggested: "Then why don't you wait a bit, even if he doesn't come back during the day, he will come back at night."

"Forget it, the safety of the saintess is more important." Elder He directly rejected Ye Wanwan's suggestion, and then said with a faint expression: "At this time, anyone can have an accident and everyone can die, but the saintess can't, even if It’s not enough to take the slightest risk.”

Ye Wanwan stared in surprise for a moment.

Since when did she become so important?
