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

Chapter 377

At the entrance of Qian's ancestral hall, in front of the black lacquered wooden door, was a scholar with a gentle face and a calm expression.

He Lao, who was standing opposite him, couldn't help flashing a trace of horror in the depths of his eyes at this moment.

Qian Jiaqilang, Qian Ye.

He Lao has a vast experience, just this self-introduction, she has heard endless blood from it.

Come straight to your face.

Looking at the gentle Qian Ye in front of him, He Lao took a breath, and asked calmly, "I have dealt with the Qian family a lot earlier, why didn't I meet Qilang before?"

Qian Ye smiled gently, cupped his hands and said, "The student was studying in Suzhou earlier. A few days ago, he received a letter from his brother and rushed back to Wuzhou without stopping."

The corner of He Lao's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

When dealing with the Qian family, how could the Tianyin Sect not investigate the entire Qian family, but even so, they never found out a person named Qian Ye.

Not to mention that this person is already Qian Qilang now.

Regarding Qian Zhe's methods, even He Lao felt a burst of horror.

In the past, this kind of method was only dared to be used by those top aristocratic families.

But if you think about it carefully, the Qian family in Wuzhou originated from the Qian family in Wuxing.

Wu Xing Qian's, in the Chen Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, was the empress's mother family, isn't it the top family?

It is not surprising that this method can be used.

Taking a deep breath and calming down a little, Elder He said with a serious expression, "I'm actually here for a batch of crossbow bolts I ordered with the Qian family before. I wonder when the Qian family will be able to deliver them?"

"The previous agreement with senior was ten days. Don't worry, senior. After ten days, the things will definitely show up at the meeting place on time. As long as seniors bring someone to pick them up, they will definitely return with the things. This credit There is still a home." Qian Ye raised his head slightly, with a confident expression.

Seeing this scene, the corners of He Lao's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.

That's right, Mrs. Qian will definitely deliver the things to the meeting place on time, but the question is whether the Tianyin Sect can pick them up on time, that's another matter.

"Old fox." Old He couldn't help cursing inwardly.

Now the group of people under King Nanchang are harvesting taxes and food faster and faster.

As more and more tax grains were put into storage, even if the Tianyin Sect wanted to force an uprising, it might be difficult to collect enough military grain in a short period of time.

And once they start grabbing food from the people, everything will inevitably repeat the same mistakes of the past.

So it is necessary to start things in advance.

"I'm here because I want to discuss with Qian's whether we can deliver the crossbow ahead of schedule. As Qian's personnel changes, my teacher needs to make some changes." He Lao quickly adjusted his mentality.

It is a fact that Qian Zhuo's whereabouts are unknown now, and now the only thing that can be grasped and become the key is those bows and crossbows.

As long as those bows and crossbows were in hand, the cooperation between them and the Qian family would not be in vain.

"This matter is serious, and Qilang needs to inform his brother." After a little hesitation, Qian Ye said politely: "Qian Ye has not been taking over the family property for a long time, and I am afraid it will take some time to adapt and adjust."

Old He frowned immediately, and then said with a gentle expression: "Qilang is really a humble gentleman."

"Senior, it's ridiculous!" Qian Ye glanced at the noise outside, and gently cupped his hands and said, "If you have nothing else to do, senior, please leave. The students have to deal with the follow-up."

"Okay!" Elder He no longer hesitated at this moment, he stepped back and retreated directly into the courtyard.

The next moment, she jumped up violently, and in an instant, like a night owl, she directly crossed the top of the ancestral hall and flew towards the east at an incomparable speed.

On the ground, countless people raised their longbows at the first moment, and the moment they just set their arrows, He Lao had already rushed out of their sight.

At this time, more than a dozen ocher-clothed guards had gathered in front of Qian Ye.

"Chase, mobilize all the power of the family, and also find that person just now, and report to the officials, my Qian family was broken into by bandits." Qian Ye's solemn face was full of incomparable anger.

"Here!" The many guards on the scene immediately agreed, and then scattered away.

Leaving a few people guarding the door, Qian Ye returned to the ancestral hall, his face completely calmed down in an instant.

Standing in the main hall, Qian Ye gradually walked into the depths of the ancestral hall after bowing seriously to the ancestor's spiritual tablet.

Among the countless secret rooms, he found the one where Qian Zhe was.

It was still the portrait of the ancestor in front of him, and Qian Zhe knelt down again and again.

"Brother, people are coming, people are leaving!" Qian Ye reported everything with a few simple words.

Qian Zhe straightened up without looking back, and asked directly: "What is the current situation, you know in your heart, how to deal with it, and what are your thoughts?"

"Seize the opportunity, assist Zhang to join the army, and hunt down the Tianyin Sect." The emphasis in Qian Ye's words was strange, it turned out to be on Zhang Yi, who joined the army as a recorder.

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Qian Zhe's mouth: "Do everything as you say."

"Here!" Qian Ye slowly exited the room.

Inside the secret room, Qian Zhe's face completely calmed down in an instant.

When the eyes blink and close, it seems that there are countless images flashing in it.

"Ping, it's peaceful. Although it's going through smoothly, it's hard to make a breakthrough." Qian Zhe sighed heavily, and said, "Qilang, you're too cautious this time."

Raising his head and looking at the portrait in front of him, Qian Zhe bowed deeply again.

……

"Swish, whoosh, whoosh!" Long arrows pierced the night sky, but at this time, the old crane in the sky had completely disappeared.

In the big house and small courtyard opposite, He Lao landed directly, heaved a sigh of relief, then turned his head to look at the other two beside him and said, "You all go back to your respective residences, don't show your flaws."

"Here!" The charming woman and the sassy girl respectfully agreed, and then slightly cupped their hands.

Turning around, he quickly left the courtyard.

Faint footsteps could be heard in the ear, He Lao nodded to Zhang Wanyu and said, "Let's go too!"

"it is good!"

Before the voice fell, the two figures had already submerged into the dark night sky like night owls.

Qian's guards appeared behind them, and after only chasing the backs of the two of them, they couldn't see anything clearly.

After an unknown amount of time, Helao and Zhang Wanyu had already appeared in a small courtyard.

The two looked around to make sure there was nothing wrong, and then relaxed.

"He Lao, how is the situation?" Zhang Wanyu finally couldn't help asking.

He Lao shook his head slightly, and said, "Two news, one good news and one bad news."

"Old He!" Zhang Wanyu looked at Elder He amusedly, at this moment, why is she still playing tricks like this!
"It's indeed good news, but bad news." Old He picked up the teapot on the stone table, poured himself a cup, and said, "Qian Qilang is dead, but the new Qian Qilang is just as greedy."

"Well, what Elder He said made me a little confused!" Zhang Wanyu was a little confused for a moment.

"Qian Zhuo is dead, but there is a new Qian Qilang in the Qian family, named Qian Ye." The corner of He Lao's mouth taunted, and he said coldly: "The Qian family cut off all ties with Qian Zhuo, and Qian Zhuo bought them in Jinhua. He colluded with others to kill the King of Nanchang with poison, and even his previous contacts with my teaching were all cut off without leaving a trace of connection.

What a sophisticated and vicious method, maybe from the beginning, they arranged it like this. "

It sounds unbelievable that a direct descendant of a family could be thrown away so easily, but this is the standard way of dealing with affairs of a large family.

I don't know where Qian Zhe found a newcomer to replace Qian Zhuo and become Qian Qilang.

This time the layout is more stable, but also more chilling.

"Then what about the batch of crossbows?" Zhang Wanyu immediately wanted what her family wanted the most.

With this batch of crossbows, they would be certain to fight the King of Nanchang head-on, but if they didn't have this batch of crossbows, they would be in real trouble.

"That's why I say it's good news. This new Qian Qilang is as greedy as the previous one, so as long as you pay a price, you can get things." He Lao remembered what Qian Ye said to her in front of the ancestral hall. If he didn't have time to adjust to one category, He Lao understood from the very beginning that those were just words used to blackmail benefits.

"So what does this new Qian Qilang want?" After a slight pause, Zhang Wanyu looked at He Lao and said softly, "Now we don't have time to think about his hobbies."

"No need." Elder He waved his hand directly, and said, "When Laoshen and Qian Zhuo ordered this batch of crossbows before, they were vaguely aware that the Qian family might have already built these batches of crossbows. It is being stored in a secret dark vault, as long as the dark vault can be found, all these crossbow bolts can be found."

"We still have to start with Qian Ye." Although Zhang Wanyu was inexplicably impatient, she still said very cautiously: "Old He, will he replace Qian Zhuo and go to the city gate tomorrow to listen to Buddhist and Taoist lectures?"

"Zibuyu is strange, this Qian Ye is a scholar, he may not have such thoughts." He Lao raised his head and glanced at Zhang Wanyu, and said softly: "If I am Qian Zhe, then I will never let Qian Ye and Zhang Wanyu I'm waiting to get in touch alone, so even if they want to go, they will go together."

"Then what to do, time waits for no one!" Zhang Wanyu's face was gloomy for a while.

Today, it is not the Qian family that puts the greatest pressure on Yu Tianyin Sect, but the poisoned Nanchang King Li Xuan.

Now that Li Xuan is in Jinhua, it is tantamount to cutting off the connection between the six counties in the southeast of Wuzhou and the city.

There are only nine counties in Wuzhou. Li Xuan is in charge of one county and has won six counties. Although the Tianyin Sect has back-up arrangements, these back-ups are not used to compete with the King of Nanchang.

Moreover, King Nanchang's hands and feet are not only in Jinhua and those six counties, he also has arrangements in Longyou and Lanxi.

What's more, although King Nanchang was poisoned, he was not dead. As long as he is still awake, those under him will not move.

Don't forget, although Yu Ze went to Wuyi, Li Xuan still has Qiu Zhenmu and Wang Bo by his side.

Knowing Zhang Wanyu's worry, He Lao pressed her wrist and said softly: "Although Qian Zhe and Qian Ye can't put their efforts into it, Qian Zhuo's road may not be completely blocked. I already know that he still has several young ladies." Arrange it in other places, tonight I will trouble the young master to go there personally to see if there are any clues in these places, hurry up, otherwise it will be over when the Qian family starts cleaning tomorrow."

Zhang Wanyu nodded slightly, and then she looked at Elder He in surprise: "Why, Elder He won't go with me?"

"No. I want to find out about the situation of King Nanchang." He Lao sighed softly and said, "Everyone said that King Nanchang was poisoned, but after all, I have never seen it with my own eyes, so I can't be sure, so I can't rest assured. Before Since the Qian family can find out the result tonight, they don’t have to worry about the King of Nanchang, looking at it now, I’m afraid I still need to take a look.”

"Old He, the King of Nanchang has always been insidious and cunning, Elder He should be more worried." Just as Zhang Wanyu finished speaking, waves of uneasiness emerged in her heart.

At this moment, Elder He stood up, patted Zhang Wanyu's hand and said, "Saint, be careful, if there is chaos in Wuzhou, go to this place."

After finishing speaking, He Lao took out a piece of silk cloth from his body and handed it over.

Zhang Wanyu looked at the name on the silk cloth in surprise, and just raised her head to ask, but before her eyes, Old He had completely disappeared.

Sighing lightly, Zhang Wanyu squeezed the silk cloth in her hand tightly.

In fact, she knew in her heart that the reason why He Lao made this trip was because he was worried that the predicament before them was probably set up by the King of Nanchang step by step.

None of them can feel at ease if they don't find out the real situation of King Nanchang.

It is not even ruled out that at the critical moment, the future troubles will be completely wiped out.
