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

Chapter 386 Five-Clawed Black Dragon, Tianchi Lake in West Zhejiang

I don't know when the rain stopped.

On the dark long street, two groups of people were walking slowly.

Li Xuan rode in the front while Xu Lu followed beside him.

Qiu Zhenmu and Li Zhu, each leading a team of Qianniu Guards and a team of Kuaiji Mansion Guards, followed behind.

In the invisible corners of the surrounding long streets, there are traces of Nanchang Fuwei everywhere.

"In the entire Wuzhou branch, Fang Yunxiu is the head of the hall, and Nu and Peng Yun are the deputy head of the hall.

Before the prince arrived in Wuzhou, he arranged for Peng Yun and most of the subordinates in the hall to leave Wuzhou City together, and placed them in Yiwu, Jinhua, Wuyi and Lanxi counties respectively.

Later, after Fang Yunxiu's death, Hall Master Zhang came to Wuzhou, and immediately arranged all the manpower to Wuyi, led by Peng Yun to prepare to counterattack Dongyang. "

Xu Lu introduced the situation of the Wuzhou branch to Li Xuan in a low voice.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and asked casually: "How many people and elites do they have, can they take down Dongyang County?"

"There are only less than 40 real elite soldiers, and most of the others are ordinary gang members; but last time Peng Yun sent a letter, he now has more than 300 people under him, I hope that Zhang Zhang can dispatch enough weapons into Wuyi in time, otherwise once If they go to war, they will be at a great disadvantage." When Xu Lu spoke, a hint of worry could not help but appear on her face.

This kind of behavior is not a bad thing, Li Xuan smiled lightly, and said: "More than 40 elites, plus about 300 strong people, if they march quickly and arrive at Dongyang County quickly, and someone happens to help them open the city gate, then It is not difficult to win Dongyang."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan couldn't help being a little funny.

With only three to five hundred people, it is necessary to take down a county with strong defenses.

This may sound like a joke, but it is true.

The south is different from the north, and there is no need to face huge pressure from the northern grassland peoples, so the number of soldiers in each city will not be too many.

Even in the entire land of Wuyue and the thirteen prefectures, there is only one Zhechong Mansion with a force of 1000 or [-] people that can really be mobilized.

Not only are there not too many soldiers in each city, but even their combat effectiveness is not very good.

Therefore, it is not too difficult to break through the city gate and take down the county government with only three to five hundred people.

The real difficulty is how to defend the city.

In today's Dongyang City, there are almost no Tianyin believers in the city.

Even if the Wuzhou Branch Church wins Dongyang, it will not be able to stir up the common people.

When the time comes, the imperial army will fight back, and they will have to flee in embarrassment.

What's more, Li Xuan has placed a team of troops on the route of the Wuzhou branch in the west of Dongyang City. As long as Gu Tan and Kang Yao are not stupid and send troops to support, it is not a big problem to defend Dongyang.

Coupled with Yu Ze's pursuit from behind, even if those people can't finish, it's hard to make a big wave.

The current threat is still in Lanxi.

……

The moisture in the night wind was very weak, Li Xuan looked away from Xu Lu and looked up.

After the rain, the sky was dark and beautiful.

Once He Lao died, the pressure on Li Xuan's head suddenly eased a lot.

Why did Li Xuan go to Jinhua to inspect the autumn grain?
On the one hand, it is indeed the sum of various factors, but among them, the most important thing that cannot be ignored is the threat of He Lao.

The powerhouses of the Xuantai Houjing appeared by his side from time to time.

Even Li Xuan didn't know when he would show his flaws, and then someone would seize the opportunity and kill him with one blow.

Moreover, he is guarded by Qianniuwei, but other senior officials in Wuzhou don't have Qianniuwei.

Once He Lao shifted his target, Li Xuan would immediately be thrown into chaos.

Qianniuwei, in name, came to Wuzhou to investigate the assassination case of Wang Fanglin, the governor, and at most came to protect Li Xuan's safety.

Even Li Xuan couldn't force the children of the big family to protect the state officials in Wuzhou.

Therefore, Li Xuan left Wuzhou, and at the same time took away Helao's attention.

Now that He Lao died in Li Xuan's hands, although the risk still exists, it is not that big anymore. Li Xuan can mobilize more manpower to make arrangements in all aspects.

Suddenly, Li Xuan seemed to remember something, turned to look at Xu Lu, and asked: "You said that Peng Yun is in Wuyi now, so who is the person in Zhoucheng? The other person who appeared outside Qian's house with you that day A person, who is she?"

"He Qing'er, I only know her name is He Qing'er. I have never seen her before. It is another line buried in Wuzhou by the sect."

After listening to Xu Lu's explanation, Li Xuan realized that in the whole Wuzhou, apart from the black pawns, the subordinates of Wuzhou hall, and the people brought by Zhang Wanyu from Hangzhou, the Tianyin Sect had another line.

Only the main altar and Fang Yunxiu knew about the existence of this line, and Xu Lu and Peng Yun knew nothing about it before.

He Qing'er didn't show her face until Fang Yunxiu's accident and Zhang Wanyu came from Hangzhou to help.

"Then Zhang Wanyu should be staying with He Qing'er right now." Li Xuan deduced Zhang Wanyu's whereabouts in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Wanyu's strength is higher than Li Xuan's, and He Lao helped her escape before, Li Xuan couldn't catch up at all.

However, Zhang Wanyu's position in Wuzhou could not escape Li Xuan's control at all. What Li Xuan really cared about now was He Qing'er.

He Qing'er is just a child in the Mood for Love now, and she has only been in contact with Tianyin Sect for a few years.

There are people behind her.

After solving him, Li Xuan can lead his troops northward with peace of mind.

……

The courtyard door opened, and Bai Lao stood at the door, standing respectfully, welcoming Li Xuan back home.

Li Xuan nodded to him, then looked at Qiu Zhenmu and Li Zhu and said: "Arrange for the brothers to rest early, everyone has tried their best to turn around tonight, you two will hand over the papers for meritorious service, and wait until the Tianyin Sect in Wuzhou is defeated." Complete eradication, this king will go to the letter center to ask for credit for everyone."

"Thank you, my lord!" Qiu Zhenmu and Qian Niuwei couldn't help showing a hint of joy on their faces.

They went south to Wuzhou with Li Xuan, fighting life and death all the way, all for meritorious service.

You don't need to go to the Western Regions, you don't need to go to Silla, you can build military exploits.

The other brothers in Qianniuwei didn't know how much they envied them.

Seeing the excitement on these people's faces, Li Xuan waved his hands and asked them to rest, while he led Xu Lu towards the inner courtyard.

Li Xuan was very curious about the internal affairs of Tianyin Sect.

While asking, he walked into the inner room.

"My lord, the bath water is ready." Hu Ling'er, who was in a white chest-length embroidered skirt, smiled lightly.

Li Xuan turned to look at Xu Lu, and said directly: "You also come together, and tell me about some things about you in the Tianyin Sect General Altar back then, especially about the Empress Dowager, how many times have you had contact with her?" , how do you feel about her, how do you feel about her in private in the Tianyin Sect, tell me..."

"Here!"

……

In the bedroom, Li Xuan sat alone in the bathtub, feeling the flow of true energy in her body.

On the bed, two figures overlapped.

Under the gauze curtain, it is hazy to see clearly.

At this moment, Li Xuan's attention was all in her body, deep in her inner dantian.

The 360 ​​drops of real energy have already merged into one body, and a slender black figure is wrapped in it.

The meridians in the body and the real qi fused into various acupoints were quickly digested, quickly merged into the real qi water droplets in the dantian, and then melted into the slender black figure.

Somehow, an unknown amount of time has passed, and the true qi fused into the meridians and acupoints in the body has been exhausted.

Even the 360 ​​drops of true qi were completely integrated into the slender black figure.

A ferocious face, a long and strong body, flamboyant five claws, a slender dragon tail, two soaring horns, and a pair of majestic and stern eyes.

It turned out to be a black five-clawed dragon.

A black five-clawed dragon appeared in his dantian, but Li Xuan was not at all moved by its appearance.

Jiujiang Xingmai Map itself is a kind of ancient inheritance technique, but now there are only remnants left, and it is not easy to go up the Xuantai.

But that is far from what Li Xuan needs to consider now.

In an instant, Li Xuan opened his eyes directly, and with a thought, more than a dozen water droplets in the tub jumped up in an instant.

A dozen or so water droplets were suspended at a height of ten centimeters from the water, just facing Li Xuan's eyes.

With a "crash", Li Xuan slowly raised her hand.

The next moment, more than a dozen drops of water fused together in the blink of an eye, and then slowly elongated and corrected, and finally a nearly perfect curved blade was chosen in front of his eyes.

With a light flick of the finger, the curved curved blade flew straight out. While spinning non-stop, the curved curved blade danced surprisingly lightly between the curtains and the gaps between the tables and chairs.

Every time, he narrowly brushes past every real object, but fails to catch anything.

After a long time.

The curved blade wobbled and floated in front of Li Xuan's eyes again.

Li Xuan could clearly see the extremely sharp edge of the water-based curved blade, even if the blade was made of water, he was still as sharp.

The rest is nothing more than adding speed.

Space-time, distance, altitude, gravity.

Li Xuan has countless ways to increase its speed to the limit, and the rest is the direction and goal.

After breaking through the Xuantai, the most direct thing is that the water energy in the body has a deeper connection with the water mist and water droplets in the outside world.

I am also more sensitive and sharp.

Just breaking through the realm, Li Xuan's strength is now more than twice that of before, and his lethality is even more astonishingly terrifying.

Closing his eyes again, the water in the tub began to spin by itself.

Li Xuan's right arm was erected violently, and more than a dozen spikes shot up to the sky, but they didn't hurt Li Xuan at all.

With a thought, all these spikes turned into running water in an instant, and fell into the bathtub with a crash.

The next moment, Li Xuan's spirit was completely immersed in the inner dantian, and merged into that long black dragon.

In an instant, countless white mist sprayed out from the black long dragon's body, and in a blink of an eye, it had already permeated the dantian.

But immediately after, countless mist fell quickly in the dantian, and finally condensed to form a bay of water, spreading in the dantian.

In an instant, the long black dragon had quietly landed in the depths of the dantian, swimming and playing in the water non-stop.

The mind was withdrawn from the depths of the dantian, and in an instant, it all gathered in the sea of ​​consciousness above the head.

At this moment, a memory suddenly appeared in Li Xuan's mind.

Under the bright moonlight, two figures appeared in front of a huge lake at the same time.

In the distance, there are undulating mountains, lush forests and deep ravines.

This Wangshui lake is still on the high mountains in the distance, on the top of the mountains.

This turned out to be a Tianchi.

A huge Tianchi.
