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

Chapter 380 The teaching workshop is deserted, torture the witch

Wuzhou, south of the city, Jiaofang Division.

The gorgeous attic, which was always lit up all night, has already fallen into silence.

Since Li Xuan took power in Wuzhou, within three or two days, he ordered the Jiaofang Division to be completely closed.

Although it was used in the name of preventing the infiltration of the Tianyin Sect, these prostitutes in the Jiaofang Division complained endlessly.

However, many officials under Shi Cao didn't dare to respond upwards at all. Instead, they asked the Jiaofang Secretary to close the door directly when the time came every day.

As for those old customers, men have their own places to live.

……

Jinhe Courtyard is located in the depths of Jiaofang, surrounded by green trees and a small river, and boats on the river can go directly to Wujiang River.

In the dead of night, curfew and early rise.

A small boat slowly headed towards Jinheyuan.

On the bow of the boat, wearing a black-bottomed gold silk robe, and pressing the sword on the eight sides, Li Xuan looked at the Jinheyuan not far away, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

[Xu Lu, a native of Chun'an, Muzhou, candidate for the oiran in the second year of the Shangyuan Dynasty, a nobleman of the Jinhe Academy, deputy head of the Wuzhou Hall of the Tianyin Sect, innate and true seed at the beginning stage]

A sneer flashed at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, and she said softly, "Tonight, let me find that old He."

Qiu Zhenmu on the side nodded seriously.

In Sangu Villa before, not only did Li Xuan stabbed He Lao, but later, while fleeing, He Lao was also hit by a crossbow arrow from Qianniuwei.

Although the injury was not serious, don't forget that He Lao was also poisoned, and it was a kind of poison that had no cure.

The poison and the injury were intertwined, enough to make He Lao exhausted for a short time.

This is the opportunity for Li Xuan and the others. Tonight, Li Xuan will completely kill He Lao.

Several masters in the Mysterious Embryo Realm died at the hands of Li Xuan.

Not bad for a crane.

Qianmian Buddha and An Rongxiang are both the four elders of Tianyin Sect, and He Lao, the head of the four elders, just happened to be used to make up the number.

……

Ahead, Jinheyuan is getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, Li Xuan said: "Brother Qiu, I am wondering if there is something we have overlooked."

"Ignored it?" Qiu Zhenmu was a little confused.

Li Xuan nodded, and said softly: "The Tianyin Sect is now in the entire Wuzhou, and there are only three people who can use it. One is the people from the Wuzhou Church at the beginning, and the elite they have accumulated over the years, but now these people , should have gone to Wuyi, so don't think about it for now."

Qiu Zhenmu nodded, now Yu Ze has gone to Wuyi, and besides four hundred scythemen, he also brought a whole team of soldiers.

It was earlier that Li Xuan asked Yiwu, Pujiang, Pan'an, and Yongkang to recruit and send the four county magistrates.

These people are familiar with the local terrain, and their skills are straightforward. In some places, the powerful clans are connected, which is enough to suppress those people from Tianyin Sect, and they have no choice but to go east.

"The second is those people from Lanxi. They are the main force of the Tianyin sect trying to attack Wuzhou this time. There are even quite a few elites among them, at least three to five hundred. The Yin Cult's seizure of Wuzhou's most important force is also what we need to guard against the most." Li Xuan's face was very serious.

Today, although the situation in Wuzhou is somewhat risky, most of it can be controlled, except for the elite soldiers of the Tianyin Sect, which is very uncomfortable.

Even if Meiling Pass is not in hand, someone may come to support from Muzhou at this time, so the number of soldiers of Tianyin Sect will be even more difficult to predict.

Therefore, in addition to placing Zhang Lu in Lanxi and Yan Tao in Lingdong, Li Xuan also arranged Qin Ming's people as support.

It is to force the people of Tianyin Sect, not to dare to send everyone to the state city at once.

The Tianyin sect already had a lot of troops in Wuzhou, with the help of elites from the general altar in the mountains, plus the believers in the city as internal support, if Li Xuan didn't come, they would be able to take the city firmly.

But as soon as Li Xuan came, he destroyed their foundation in Dongyang, and then solved Fang Yunxiu and disintegrated the hearts of the Tianyin Sect in the city.

Now, as long as the Tianyin Sect doesn't come to Zhou City desperately, Li Xuan is sure enough that they will never return.

In fact, Li Xuan was not worried about the follow-up. Once the Tianyin Sect rebelled openly, it would be tantamount to giving Li Xuan an excuse to recruit the people to join the army openly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the number of pawns in Li Xuan's hands would be several times higher.

This is also the reason why Tianyin Sect is now trying to rise up in various places at the same time, just to take advantage of the shortage of troops in all states and counties, and take them down in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, once these states and counties react, with the experience of the year, I am afraid that a county magistrate will be able to block them.

"What the Yin Sect can do today is to mobilize the elite and quietly lurk under the city." Li Xuan said softly: "The way to attack the city, other than a strong attack, is to collude with the inside and outside, open the city gate, and smash the current city." In the city of Wuzhou, although the believers of Tianyin Sect have been cleaned several times, there are still many people left."

"These are the last hidden dangers." Li Xuan turned her head and looked in the direction of the south gate, with a trace of fear in her eyes.

"What does the lord mean, besides these people, there are other internal sources that we haven't discovered?" Qiu Zhenmu looked at Li Xuan with some surprise.

"There must be." Li Xuan nodded, looked at the reflection of the boat in the river, and said softly: "In today's Wuzhou, every aspect is under the surveillance of the imperial court. Even if the Tianyin Sect's troops can sneak into the state Under the city, there won't be too many, if they don't want to forcibly attack the city, then what they have to do is to find someone to open the door for them."

Three to five hundred people want to attack a heavily fortified city head-on, it's really a joke.

But once there is an internal response, it will be completely different. As long as the army is strong enough, it will immediately cause huge chaos as soon as it enters the city.

"In the final analysis, the focus is on the Tianyin Cultists. Some Tianyin Cultists have not been found out of my sight." Qiu Zhenmu understood Li Xuan's meaning, and then said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord. As for the matter, the city gate guards have been trained, and they know how to guard against it.

On the eve of the upcoming uprising of the Tianyin Sect, everyone knew that as long as they didn't want the entire Wuzhou to fall into the flames of war, they would definitely do their best. "

After a slight pause, Qiu Zhenmu went on to say: "As for the rest, what we need to do is to make more preparations. When danger comes, with enough manpower to respond, [-]% of the world's affairs can be successful.

The remaining [-]% is now God's will. "

"Brother Qiu's words are like enlightenment, making people sober up instantly." Li Xuan cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you Xuan here."

"Now almost everything in Wuzhou is under the control of the prince, and the subordinates believe that with the prince's temperament, there must be power that has not been shown." Qiu Zhenmu raised his head, looked straight at Li Xuan, Li Xuan couldn't help laughing.

……

Li Xuan turned around and the boat docked.

In one step, Li Xuan, Qiu Zhenmu, and Li Zhu went ashore at the same time, and it seemed that only two people were left, and the other Qianniuwei and Nanchang Fuwei all went ashore.

Li Xuan took out a key from his waist, and opened the back door of Jinheyuan directly in front of him.

What appeared in front of Li Xuan was a path paved with cobblestones.

Under the dark moonlight, a small stream spans between the front and back yards.

There are also several exquisite kiosks around.

Dotted with flowers of various colors, red, yellow, purple, white, especially under the waning moon, it looks extraordinarily beautiful.

Li Xuan calmly walked along the gravel road, and walked towards an exquisite pavilion on the far left.

Living there is none other than Xu Lu, the deputy head of the Wuzhou Branch of the Tianyin Sect.

Standing in front of the building, two black guards came out of the darkness, facing Li Xuan, and Qiu Zhenmu slightly cupped their hands, and then retreated into the darkness.

Ever since that day in the Bayong Building, Li Xuan pointed out in person that among the four oirans selected by the Wuzhou Jiaofang Division this time, some were members of the Tianyin Sect. After they returned to their respective courtyards, they were immediately arrested. He stared intently.

Although these madams of the Jiaofang Division do not have any official duties in name, they actually have their names on the roster of the Jiaofang Division.

If it is finally confirmed that the oiran in their family is really a member of the Tianyin Sect, then even they and everyone in the entire courtyard will have to sit down.

A rich family like the Qian family has the ability to silence everyone who knows the truth, but people like Jiaofangsi will definitely become the targets of everyone's blame in the end.

So there is no need for Li Xuan to say anything, the staff of the Jiaofang Division will stare at these oirans to death.

Standing in front of the attic, Li Xuan stepped up first, Qiu Zhenmu and Li Zhu followed closely.

Li Xuan pressed one hand on the door, and pushed lightly, with a "squeak", the door was already pushed open.

Under the attic, a maid in a green coat woke up in a daze.

Immediately, a silver light flashed, and the little maid passed out again.

Li Xuan stepped up to the second floor, all the Qianniuwei were left downstairs, only Qiu Zhenmu and Li Zhu followed Li Xuan upstairs.

The entire attic was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Li Xuan stood still at the door of the room, and said lightly: "Since you are awake, get up. After twenty breaths, the candle will be lit. I hope you can get dressed...Although I don't mind if you wear it or not." Dress well, but there are too many people here."

Qiu Zhenmu who was standing behind couldn't help but smile.

The witch inside was not asleep at all, or at least she woke up the moment they stepped into the courtyard.

With a bang, the lamp was lit.

One was wearing a white skirt and a green veil, her face was washed clean, her hair was tied up, her arms were tucked in front of her chest, and her folds were undulating.

A pair of lovely and pitiful eyes looked at Li Xuan, with a sense of weak charm coming out straight through.

Li Xuan stepped into the room, sat down at the round table in the room, and then said calmly, "The girl is willing to put on clothes, it seems that she is different from most people in this courtyard, it seems that, Your Excellency has decided to speak as a member of the Tianyin Sect."

Hearing Li Xuan's words, Xu Lu couldn't help but raise her brows, but in a blink of an eye, her brows and eyes were tightly wrinkled.

These people, at best, are courtesans, but at worst, they are prostitutes.

In the middle of the night, when a group of ferocious men appeared in their room, these women knew best what to do and what to do in order to survive.

It's definitely not like now, where you still have the time to dress up.

From the very first sentence that Li Xuan spoke, she was already digging a hole for her.

Xu Lu forced a smile on her face, and called softly, "Your Majesty..."

"It doesn't have to be like this." Li Xuan interrupted Xu Lu directly, put the Eight-faced Han Sword in his hand on the table, and then said calmly: "This king doesn't want to use any cruel methods against you, don't worry, there is nothing between us. , It’s just some simple random questions and answers, you can choose to answer, or you can choose not to answer... If the king gets what he wants today, then this king can allow you to make a request that is not too much."

"Of course, it is up to this king to decide whether to go too far. You have to think about it carefully. If it is really too much, then this king can only pretend that you didn't hear your request."

Xu Lu raised her head, looked at Li Xuan, and gritted her silver teeth.

How can people be so shameless.
