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

Chapter 383 The fire ignited and the rainstorm fell

Outside the gate of Jinchangfang, Li Xuan rode on a tall black horse, waiting quietly.

Beside him, Xu Lu, head of the Wuzhou branch of the Tianyin Sect, followed closely.

At some point, she had already put on a black cloak, and her hair was neatly tied up.

Qiu Zhenmu and Li Zhu stood on both sides, and behind them, each led a group of Qianniu guards and Kuaiji government soldiers riding tall horses.

In the darkness all around, there is still a group of Nanchang Mansion Guards shadowy, protecting Li Xuan's safety at all times.

The door was firmly closed at this time.

Although the curfew has been enforced, there is still a faint commotion within the square gate.

Inside the gate, Fang Zheng of Jinchangfang was already standing under the gate with cold sweat on his face, and at the same time firmly restrained his subordinates, preventing them from acting rashly.

Fang Zheng of Pingshunfang had mentioned the tragedy of Pingshunfang to them many times.

In that fight, at least hundreds of people died, and blood flowed all over the long street.

Fang Zheng of Jinchangfang didn't want such a thing to happen to Jinchangfang, and he didn't want it to happen to him either.

So he let his cronies stare at everyone in sight.

Li Xuan was waiting patiently, he was not worried that he would startle the snake.

Because that is better, the people of Tianyin Sect will gather together, instead of being scattered in all directions, so they have to conduct a comprehensive search in the entire Jinchangfang.

Li Xuan didn't want to see a scene that alarmed countless people and ended up being implicated countless times.

If you want to kill, stare at your opponent, and risk your life to kill.

All of a sudden, there was a bang of gongs, followed by shouts from inside the workshop: "The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful of fires and candles, close doors and windows, prevent theft and theft, be safe and sound, go to bed early and get up early."

At the moment when the gong sounded, all the people under Li Xuan's hands clenched their swords tightly.

Datang imposed a curfew, but it was only for the outside of the square, not for the inside of the square, so nominally speaking, there was no curfew inside the square.

However, it is also inaccurate to completely ignore the wanton riots in the workshop.

Even in the workshop, after the second watch, the head of the village will immediately start to persuade the people to close the doors and windows, and go to bed early.

At this time, the number of pedestrians on the street will decrease rapidly.

……

After less than a quarter of an hour, the door of the workshop suddenly opened amidst the creaking sound.

"Boom..." Countless horseshoes stepped down immediately, and Qianniuwei and Kuaijiwei rushed in without the slightest hesitation.

Heading towards the coffin shop in the deepest part of Jinchangfang, they rushed over like a storm.

Although the coffin shop is not big, it is very big inside.

Few even knew that the two courtyards on both sides of the coffin shop had been bought by the shopkeeper Qin of the coffin shop.

Shopkeeper Qin usually only used the coffin shop in the center for business, but on both sides, one side was used to hide the congregants of the Tianyin Sect, and the other side was used to hide the materials that needed to be transported to the mountain.

The Tianyin Sect is deep in the mountains, with at least five thousand members.

The little things delivered by the Liu family in Dongyang are just a drop in the bucket.

With the addition of shopkeeper Qin, Mr. Qi of Hangzhou, and other simultaneous supplies, it was possible for the mountain to survive stably.

Moreover, under the imperial court's years of struggle, more than [-] elite black soldiers have been trained.

At this moment, Helao and Zhang Wanyu are hiding in the small courtyard on the east side.

A group of Qianniu guards went directly to the Kuaiyuan on the east side, while the soldiers of Kuaiji Mansion stopped in front of the Kuaiyuan gate on the west side.

Only the coffin shop in the middle is left unattended.

Li Xuan stretched out her right hand high, the air was heavy with moisture and the southeast wind.

"Qianniuwei, fifty steps, rockets shoot!" Li Xuan coldly issued the first attack order of the night.

All of a sudden, all the Qianniuwei took up their longbows from the side of the horse at the same time, and the rockets were also pulled out from the quiver on the other side.

Almost instantly, everyone's longbows made a "collapse" sound at the same time, and fifty rockets shot directly into the east courtyard at the same time.

The whole building is neat and uniform, as if it has been practiced countless times.

With a "huh", almost instantly, the fire broke out.

Amidst the raging flames, there was no movement in the Dongkua courtyard, as if no one was there.

Li Xuan's eyes fell directly on the coffin in the center.

Although the east wind was not strong tonight, the coffin shop was quickly set on fire, and the monstrous flames burned half of the sky red in an instant.

"It's out of the water!" Finally someone couldn't help but suddenly shouted loudly.

"The water is gone, the water is gone." The sudden shout sounded as if it was going to wake up the entire Jinchangfang at once.

After Li Xuan glanced indifferently, immediately, the gong of "Beng Beng Beng" sounded, Fang Zheng and the head of the village yelled at the same time: "The government strangled the rebels, and the people returned to their homes. Don't act rashly, don't act rashly, and violate the law." The same as treason... The people return to their homes, and they are not allowed to act rashly..."

Amidst the loud shouts of the square chief and the village chief, the commotion of the surrounding people immediately subsided.

After all, not long ago, the corpses of Fang Yunxiu, the corpses of Severed Palm and Fate, and more corpses of soldiers of the Tianyin Sect were dragged around for inspection.

Although Wuzhou is not as big as Luoyang, it has nineteen squares.

Walking down one by one, the corpses were already stinking, and even covered with mosquitoes and flies, plus bloody, I don't know how many people didn't fall asleep at all that night.

I don't know how many people had nightmares over and over that night.

Now when they heard that the government was arresting rebels, these Wuzhou people immediately shrank back at home and could not come out.

However, although the person didn't come out, the whispering in secret didn't stop.

……

Li Xuan looked ahead indifferently, and the three entries rose up at the same time.

[He Lao, the head of the four elders of the Tianyin Sect, surly, scheming, ruthless, murderous like hemp, profoundly consummated after the Xuantai Realm (seriously injured, poisoned)]

[Zhang Wanyu, the head of Yuhang Hall of Tianyin Sect, 27 years old, in the middle of Xuantai, father Zhang Shuyin, brother, Wen Fuzhi]

[Qin Song, director of general affairs of Wuzhou Hall of Tianyin Sect, 43 years old, true species of environment]

Blown by the southeast wind, the flame quickly burned to the west courtyard.

The coffin shop and the west courtyard have already started fighting the fire, and many people went to the east courtyard to fight the fire.

He Lao and Zhang Wanyu were very patient, even under the crazily burning flames, the two remained indifferent.

The two hid well, but the two remained indifferent.

"Eight, nine, ten... Qianniuwei, charge!" Li Xuan gave the order to attack extremely decisively.

In an instant, Qian Niuwei rushed forward, and kicked open the door in front of him with a kick from the tall horse.

Immediately afterwards, a series of crossbow arrows shot directly towards the depths of the compound.

"Swish, whoosh, whoosh!" A Tianyin soldier raised his knife just now, ready to kill the general, but in an instant, he was directly shot through the body by a crossbow arrow.

It was as if they were just posing, and in the blink of an eye, all the Tianyin soldiers who rushed into the Dongkua courtyard to fight the fire were all shot and killed.

Even including Qin Song, the head of general affairs of the Wuzhou Hall of the Tianyin Sect, whose cultivation base is in the middle of the real realm, there is no room for resistance under the crossbow arrows.

"Rocket, northwest, fifteen steps." Li Xuan's cold voice came with the wind.

Immediately, rockets fell one after another, directly landing in the coffin shop on the west side.

The next moment, the flames ignited even more violently.

"Everyone is fighting, they want our lives." Amidst the frenzied roar, a Tianyin cultist charged out directly.

But then it was directly pierced by a crossbow arrow.

Seeing that the flames were burning more and more heavily, almost burning through half the sky, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind them: "Wear bamboo hats, put on coir raincoats!"

Li Xuan gave the order, and the Qianniuwei present did not hesitate at all, and in the blink of an eye, they all put on their bamboo hats and coir raincoats.

These Qianniuwei's soldiers had fought side by side with Li Xuan countless times, and they had already filled infinite trust in Li Xuan.

With a "click", a large raindrop hit the bamboo hat in an instant, and then fell to the ground and shattered into eight pieces.

It's raining, and the rain seems to be not small.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the rain curtain covered most of the sight.

"Retreat!" Li Xuan ordered, and Qian Niuwei withdrew from the courtyard without the slightest hesitation.

The rain was heavy and fast, and the flames that were burning rapidly were gradually extinguished in a short period of time.

A moment later, a stone slab was directly lifted away from the corner of the wall.

Immediately, Zhang Wanyu, who was wearing a black skirt, jumped out first, followed by He Lao who was below.

By this time, their shoes were completely soaked.

Although the hiding place below is perfect enough, the rainwater has already poured into it when it needs air and secrecy.

If it continues, it won't be long before the entire secret passage will be completely flooded by rain.

Zhang Wanyu didn't know what kind of luck she was, she had escaped the encirclement and suppression of the sea of ​​fire, but it happened to be raining heavily here again.

Zhang Wanyu didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly pulled Elder He up next to her.

He Lao, who was wearing a black straight-collared robe, appeared in the rain. Just as he stood firm, he immediately said to Zhang Wanyu: "Young master, hurry up!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Wanyu dragged He Lao and ran towards the back of the house.

Under Zhang Wanyu's tugging, He Lao couldn't see anything unusual.

With a bang, the house in front suddenly collapsed, and the smoke and dust splashed just now were immediately knocked down by the rain.

He Lao fought back and pulled Zhang Wanyu, and the two immediately stood back to back in the torrential rain.

"Hissing!" The sound of horses honking came from the front and rear sides, and a whole team of Qianniu guards stood on the front and back sides respectively.

The Qianniu knife hangs obliquely, but the straight line it sweeps across is between the waists of He Lao and Zhang Wanyu.

"Be careful, it's the wild goose strangle formation."

He Lao had the most dealings with Qian Niuwei, so of course he recognized the obvious Yan character strangle formation.

"Kill!" The two teams of Qianniuwei charged towards Helao and Zhang Wanyu without any hesitation.

One left and one right, the endless sword light was like undulating light and shadow, and it had killed He Lao and Zhang Wanyu in the blink of an eye.

The extremely sharp blade directly slashed towards He Lao's throat.

He Lao smashed the crane staff forward in his hand, and the staff smashed hard on Qianniuwei.

At this moment, the one holding the saber was none other than He Lao's defeated general, Zuo Qianniuwei Qianniu Beishen Qiu Zhenmu.

With one blow, Qiu Zhenmu was shocked and fell back. Just when He Lao was about to continue to kill Qiu Zhenmu with a stick, another incomparably sharp thousand-ox knife slashed to her chest, and the speed was even faster than lightning.

The one who made the move was Su Baotong, the grandson of the military god Su Dingfang.

Although it was also slashing at the vital point of the throat, this knife was extremely tricky, trembling in mid-air, and the direction was extremely uncertain.

Originally, He Lao only intended to hand over the crane stick for three points, so he had to hand over five points again.

With a sound of "bang", Su Baotong touched the saber and walked away without any desire to fight.

The crane staff in He Lao's hand hit the knife behind him heavily, and there were countless knives behind him.
At this moment, Elder He's gaze directly passed through the crowd, and landed directly on Li Xuan who was wearing a black fish scale armor and holding a three-dimensional lance in his hand.

Li Xuan's eyes flashed with an extremely dangerous light.
