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

Chapter 372 Poisoned or not, suspicion is uncertain

On the Xichengmen Wharf in Jinhua County, Qianniuwei in red and gold armor stands on both sides.

A group of Jinhua officials in green robes stood behind, and Wang Bo, Feng Hua and others stood a little closer.

Li Zhu stood on one side, holding a tray in his hand, on which there was a white porcelain jug and three wine glasses.

Li Xuan picked up the wine glass with one hand, and handed it to Yu Ze.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up another wine glass and brought it back to him.

Looking at Yu Ze in front of him, and the four hundred servants behind him, Li Xuan raised his wine glass and said solemnly: "Uncle Yu, the road ahead is difficult, so be more cautious."

"My lord, don't worry!" Yu Ze drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, then looked at Li Xuan, and said in a deep voice, "Your lord, don't worry, this is what I've been looking forward to for many years. Make meritorious deeds and not disappoint the prince."

Speaking of this, Yu Ze took a step back, bowed his hands and saluted: "My lord, please take care, and my subordinates will go ahead!"

Li Xuan raised his glass and drank it down.

His face became solemn, he looked at Yu Ze, and also at the people behind him, bowed his hands forward, and said loudly at the same time: "Huang Tian blesses you, and the rich soil bears it. This king is here. I wish you all a smooth trip and a bright future." Make meritorious service, seal your wife and son, and set an example for the villagers."

"I will live up to my lord's expectations!"

Amidst the bang, Yu Ze took the lead to step onto the big ship of Dushuisi, and the others quickly followed.

The sails were raised, and the big ship started.

Standing on the pier, Li Xuan looked at Yu Ze, who was standing on the deck and kept saluting him, slowly going away under the afterglow of the morning light.

Li Xuan felt a little emotional in his heart: "In one day, sending away many people in succession, this king feels quite empty in his heart!"

Not long ago, Wang Qin, a meritorious Cao who joined the army, had rushed to Yiwu first, and Yu Ze was already in the second batch.

The two groups of people are like Li Xuan's outstretched arms, firmly grasping all the space in the southeast of Wuzhou.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, whether it's Brother Wang or Brother Yu, although there are risks in this trip, it will surely turn danger into good luck and kill the enemy to make meritorious deeds." Feng Hua stood on one side, his expression full of confidence.

It seemed that in his eyes, the entire Tianyin Sect could no longer pose any threat to Wuzhou.

It was as if as long as Li Xuan issued an edict, the people in the entire Wuzhou would immediately abandon Tianyin Sect.

"Feng Canjun's words are not very pleasant!" Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard this, and said, "Isn't this clearly saying that Wang Canjun and Uncle Yu will inevitably encounter risks during this trip? To be honest, I’m afraid this is not necessarily the case, there may be risks, but they may not necessarily be in Yiwu and Wuyi, the real risks may be around you and me, County Magistrate Ning.”

"Your Majesty is here!" Ning Yi immediately took a step forward and bowed his hands in salute.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then said in a cold voice: "Now you are ordered to go back to the county government office. Immediately, collect taxes and food, collect it into the treasury, and put all the police, soldiers, treasury, city gates, docks, and manpower on alert and rectification... don't let us go." After being busy for so long, someone will steal your house again."

"The next officer obeys the order!" Ning Yi immediately agreed in a deep voice.

Li Xuan nodded, and then said: "The next thing is... is..."

While speaking, Li Xuan suddenly felt shortness of breath and was almost speechless, but in the blink of an eye, he turned slightly to the south side, turned his back on the crowd, took a few breaths, and then said word by word: " From now on, the Wuyi Jiangtan Bay Pass and the Taohua Ferry on the Yiwu River will be blocked, and all non-official ships will not be allowed to pass, and even official ships must be strictly inspected, and there must be no mistakes."

"Here!" Ning Yi didn't notice Li Xuan's strangeness.

Because he was already shocked by what Li Xuan said.

Wuyi River and Yiwu River will be completely closed from now on.

Before the checkpoint is opened, no civilian ships can enter the state capital.

Similarly, any civilian ships cannot enter the southeast from the state capital.

In fact, if Ning Yi knew that Li Xuan had given the same order to Yan Tao who was in the cave, he would immediately know that any access to the state city from the water had been strangled.

Any attempt to leave the state capital by water has been strangled.

Although there are still land passages, land passages are not as easy as water ones. If a checkpoint is closed, you have to go farther.

In this way, as long as enough manpower is arranged, all personnel movements in the entire Wuzhou will be under Li Xuan's control.

What's more, the information communication between Tianyin Sect in Wuzhou and other places will be greatly delayed at this moment.

The gap between Tianyin Sect and Li Xuan is rapidly widening.

Suddenly, Ning Yi came back to his senses.

At this moment, he noticed that Li Xuan had already turned around and got into the carriage beside him, and didn't say anything more to them.

Wang Bo and Li Zhu also boarded the carriage.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of everyone, a group of people walked slowly towards Sangu Villa.

Ning Yi also didn't notice that the head catcher Shan Ji standing behind him had been watching all the changes in Li Xuan's expression.

Although a trace of doubt and joy flashed in the depths of his eyes, it was clearly visible.

……

In the dense forest on the west side of Sangu Villa, a figure is closely watching all the movements of Sangu Villa.

Seeing inside and outside the villa, there are many people coming in and out now, it seems that there is no difference from the past.

At this moment, a black-clothed figure suddenly appeared behind him, the figure hidden in the dense forest suddenly turned around, and the horizontal knife was immediately unsheathed for three points.

The bright blade illuminated the face of the visitor in an instant.

The blade was retracted into the scabbard at once, and the owner of the horizontal knife heaved a sigh of relief, then cupped his hands and said, "Brother Chen."

Chen Ming, the person who came here was none other than the arresting head of the Wuzhou Yamen, Chen Ming.

Chen Ming nodded slightly with a serious face: "Brother Shan Xian, how is the situation?"

"The king of Nanchang must have had an accident." Shan Ji raised his finger and pointed to the distant villa, and said softly, "Brother Chen, come and see, is there any difference between this place and the past?"

Chen Ming followed Shan Ji's finger and looked towards Sangu Villa.

Shan Jixuan's location is very good, although it is not opposite to Sangu Villa, nor can he see the whole picture of Sangu Villa, but he can see all the movements at the gate of Sangu Villa.

The guards coming and going, the guards, and all kinds of soldiers, servants, almost looked the same as usual.

However, Chen Ming just glanced at it, and immediately understood: "Their emotions are not as tight as before!"

"That's right, if the King of Nanchang is fine, then the entire Sangu Villa should be in order, not like it is now, which looks orderly, but in fact they are already in chaos!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Shan Ji's mouth.

"No, they are not in a mess, they are always behind them, and the hand that whipped the whip is gone." Chen Ming shook his head, and said cautiously: "The king of Nanchang has always been very strict in his work, and he is easy to make mistakes. No; although these people are still within the scope of the rules, the pressure transmitted from the innermost part has been much less. In this regard, people's reactions are very sensitive."

"Indeed." Shan Ji responded immediately, his previous judgment was somewhat subjective.

"The king of Nanchang had an accident, but someone controlled the impact to a very small range. Most people in the villa didn't know what happened, but there were fewer people controlling them, so they naturally loosened up." Chen Ming guessed what happened in a very short time.

"It's good to be sure." Shan Ji heaved a long sigh of relief, then looked at Chen Ming for a while, "Brother Chen, before...my matter..."

"Don't worry, I'll burn that file. You don't have to worry about me keeping it." Chen Ming patted Shan Ji on the shoulder and said, "Brother, it's not that I'm talking about you, but you should be more cautious when you say things, killing your husband." You need to do things like taking a wife more quickly, how can you let that woman live with malice towards you; if you continue like this, you don’t know how many more things will fall into the hands of others in the future. "

Others are talking about you.

Although Shan Ji's face was gloomy, he still nodded and said: "My brother's suggestion, I have written it down, but you should also pay attention, brother, the person you follow may not succeed in what you think, my brother will tell you something. The news is that not long ago, the county magistrate of Ning ordered the entire city’s yamen soldiers and arrests to gather quickly, although I don’t know what they want to do, but it is definitely not a good thing for you.”

"I see." Chen Ming's complexion suddenly became serious, and he cupped his hands and said, "Chengqing!"

"Also, the king of Nanchang, although something happened now, but the onset of the poison is much slower than expected, whether he can be killed is still in doubt." After Shan Ji finished speaking, he cupped his hands: "Farewell, I hope you and I will never meet again."

"I hope so." Chen Ming's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Shan Ji didn't turn around, he just went backwards, all the way back into the depths of the dense forest, and disappeared from Chen Ming's sight.

"Either if I win, you and the whole of Jinhua will cease to exist; or if you win, the Qian family and I will be reduced to ashes."

Chen Ming's eyes were sharp, and he disappeared without a trace. His face was full of helplessness and he said: "But brother, you forgot, you and I are just pawns, and we have no choice."

Chen Ming turned around and looked in the direction of the villa again.

The most important thing right now is to find out how the King of Nanchang is.

If the whole villa is in chaos now, then Chen Ming can sneak in by himself to find out if King Nanchang is dead.

But now, although it is almost certain that something happened to King Nanchang, it is obvious that there are experts there who are arranging the dispatch.

I don't know whether it is Wang Bo, Feng Hua, or Qiu Zhenmu.

"A person should definitely not die, but he is still on his way to death, but how long he can last depends on how much poison he has drunk and how long he can persist... The disciple of the Medicine King should have some points no matter what. I'm capable." Chen Ming deduced to himself.

As a veteran head catcher, Chen Ming has his own uniqueness.

After thinking about everything clearly, Chen Ming took a deep look at Sangu Villa, then turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.

Obviously knowing that there is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, the fool drilled into it.

……

Inside the Sangu Villa, at the gate of the Sanjin Courtyard, four Qianniu guards held Qianniu knives and guarded them firmly.

In the study room in the courtyard, Qiu Zhenmu, Wang Bo, Feng Hua, and even Hu Danxu were all standing in suspense.

Li Xuan looked at the map of Zhoucheng and Jinhua hanging on the wall, and said softly: "Tell me, this king has an accident this time, whether they will attack Zhoucheng or Jinhua next time."
