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

Chapter 427 The poison of lovesickness, sleepless day and night
In the dark room, the eight-faced Han sword in Li Xuan's right hand stood in front of her body, and her two eyes stared straight at Chen Zhong through the blade.

His eyes were cold and indifferent.

"What should be said, what should not be said, it's all over, why don't you leave?" Li Xuan's voice was very soft, but Chen Zhong clenched his fists tightly at this moment.

If their plan hadn't gone wrong, he wouldn't have come to Nanchang Wang either.

And then humiliated by this young man like this.

At this time, Chen Zhong suddenly took a step forward, and the sound of the sword behind Li Xuan suddenly sounded.

Under the combined action of silk and Yuan Qi, the soft sword flew up again, hovering over Li Xuan's head rapidly.

Even the speed is getting faster and faster, once saved, the power will be extremely powerful.

"The old slave is indeed leaving, but before leaving, the old slave wants to warn the county king. The holy queen once said that the demon queen will kill all the clan kings in the entire clan who can threaten her status, including the prince." After Chen Zhong finished speaking, he fixed his gaze on Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked at Chen Zhong unexpectedly calmly, tilted his head, even frowned, and asked in puzzlement: "Does someone need to deliberately warn about this kind of thing? Every clan should understand the rights since birth. The cruelty of the dispute... In today's court, even if there is no Queen of Heaven, there will be other people, shouldn't it be surprising?"

Chen Zhong's back suddenly turned cold. Although he was a servant, he had never experienced a truly cruel bloody battle in court.

Who would have thought that Li Xuan, the current county king, would be so accustomed to such things.

Li Xuan seemed to see through Chen Zhong's thoughts at a glance, and said: "It's not your fault, you, and your holy queen, have lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years, and mostly come into contact with incompetent and mediocre people, who have long forgotten rights. How cruel the battle is...

Here is a reminder from the king. Not long ago, after the prince died of illness, a prince died of illness, and a county king was assigned. It is estimated that he will also die of illness in a short time. Did you deliberately remind me? "

Chen Zhong didn't know what he thought of, he clenched his fist violently, but then let go, with a smile on his face: "The king of Nanchang is really sharp and extraordinary, the old slave has learned... Thinking about it this way, With King Nanchang at the center, the life of the Demon Empress may not be so peaceful."

With that said, Chen Zhong stepped back slightly, about to retreat into the darkness behind him.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Chen Zhong stopped abruptly, raised his head and looked at Li Xuan: "My lord, although lovesickness is the secret medicine of the Tang court, it has been used several dynasties ago. The most important thing is that this There is a cure for a poison."

Li Xuan raised her eyes and glanced lightly at Chen Zhong: "Poison with an antidote is suitable for use at home, while poison without an antidote is suitable for taking out and using outside. If we meet again next time, sir, be careful." .”

"Heh!" Chen Zhong chuckled lightly.

The next moment, he had completely retreated into the darkness.

The window slammed lightly, only opened a little gap, and then fell down.

Li Xuan knew that at this time, Chen Zhong had completely disappeared.

"Linglong Dice An Hongdou, I don't know if I miss you deeply."

Li Xuan sighed softly.

Sure enough, this kind of poison still has no effect on a master like Chen Zhong.

Li Xuan walked to the side of the window, opened the window, and a drop of rain came directly from the outside.

Before it landed, in an instant, the raindrops had turned into infinite rain and mist, and directly rushed to everything in the room.

Li Xuan rotated her wrist slightly, and all the rain and fog in the room began to rotate rapidly.

A vortex of rain and mist suddenly appeared, and all the breath in the room was stirred into the vortex of rain and mist in an instant, and finally condensed infinitely into Li Xuan's hands.

A little red water drop gathered in Li Xuan's hand.

"Okay, we can come down now." Li Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the roof above.

The next moment, a figure fell directly from the roof and landed outside the window.

The black silk gown, the sharp long knife, and the sharp eyes are clearly Li Zhu.

"My lord!" Li Zhu cupped his hands to Li Xuan, and said, "Is your lord okay?"

"It's okay, that old guy came here tonight, although he intends to test, but he has no real intention to kill the king, otherwise, you will not be safe." Li Xuan raised his head, looking at the sudden explosion outside. Feng Yu frowned and said to himself: "Something is not quite right?"

"What's wrong?" Li Zhu stood on one side, cupped his hands, and looked at Li Xuan in surprise.

"Chen Zhong is the most caring heart around the Empress. It can be said that he is taking care of everything in the Empress." Having said this, Li Xuan paused for a while, and then said: "His position in the Tianyin Sect , Just like Wang Fulai, the chief executive of the inner court, in the palace, how could such a person suddenly appear here and come to see this king suddenly? There are too many things wrong in this."

Can you imagine the feeling of Wang Fulai's sudden appearance in front of the head of the inner court?

That means, the emperor's sight has already fallen on you at this moment.

Although Li Xuan thinks he has made some achievements, he absolutely does not believe that Empress Tian Yin will focus on him so easily.

This kind of chief executive of the inner court, who is not staying in the palace, suddenly ran out of the palace to negotiate a deal with you, which is not normal at all.

"Something went wrong!" Li Xuan said with extreme certainty.

Something very important and urgent must have happened.

This caused Chen Zhong to leave the main altar of Tianyin Sect and appear at the foot of the mountain, and when he came to see Li Xuan, he probably saw an opportunity more.

Opportunity is only one aspect, more of it is a temptation.

If Li Xuan is easy to fool, then maybe the gate of Meiling Pass has already been opened.

If it is not easy to fool around, he can also take the opportunity to understand Li Xuan's personality, master his way of doing things, and deeply explore his weaknesses.

Of course, more is still preparing for something.

Something is out of control.

"It looks like we have to speed up our preparations." Li Xuan waved his hands and said to Li Zhu, "Go down and rest, that's all for tonight."

"Here!" Li Zhu backed out slowly.

The silk in his hand took back the soft sword and wrapped it around his waist, Li Xuan lay on the bed with all his clothes on.

Staring at the darkness above, Li Xuan couldn't help but wonder what kind of thing happened to make Chen Zhong and others suddenly appear in front of Li Xuan.

Why, what exactly happened?
This must be something that is very detrimental to Tianyin Sect, so Chen Zhong will come forward to make up for it, and he is involved in a higher level.

So is it an internal matter of the Tianyin Sect, or an external matter of the Tianyin Sect.

There is always something going on in my mind.

It made Li Xuan unable to sleep peacefully, and he could only close his eyes and rest his mind.

Suddenly, Li Xuan's eyes lit up.

Two words suddenly appeared in his mind.

Immediately, Li Xuan smiled.

I am afraid that this matter should be put to good use.

……

A group of soldiers quickly retreated from the north, and Yan Tao, who was standing at the gate of the city, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, then cupped his hands at Li Xuan and said, "Report to the lord, all the government soldiers who went north to hunt and kill before have returned."

Li Xuan stood outside the city gate, the light of the setting sun fell on his body, stretching it extraordinarily long.

"The main force of the Tianyin Sect has gathered, and it will be futile to stay outside. Now we just need to wait." Li Xuan turned around, looked at Qi Guang who was waiting on the side, waved his hand, and said: " Let's do it!"

"Here!" Qi Guang bowed his hands to Li Xuan, and immediately led a team of men to carry the many blue stones placed on one side to the city gate.

"The city gates are all sealed, and wooden wedges are inserted in the middle, so that no one can shake them."

Li Xuan stood at the gate of the city, holding down the wooden stakes beside him with one hand, and said, "I'll use these wooden stakes to go up later to reinforce a layer of defense."

"My lord, is this being too cautious!" Yan Tao looked at Li Xuan with some doubts.

"Yan Canjun, you made the last report yesterday, how many Tianyin Sect reinforcements have come?" Li Xuan looked sideways at Yan Tao.

"Back to the prince, there are more than two thousand people." Yan Tao immediately cupped his hands.

Although he was not very close yesterday, the approximate number can still be judged from a distance.

"There are about 500 enemy troops at present, and reinforcements that may come at any time are not ruled out. This king roughly estimates 3000 people, which is not too much." With one sentence, Li Xuan told them what they needed to face this time. Right, the number of Tianyin believers has increased to three thousand.

"Not too much." Yan Tao hurriedly cupped his hands, his expression turned embarrassing in an instant.

More than 2000 people and 3000 people are completely different concepts.

The pressure on him suddenly became much heavier.

Li Xuan nodded, seeing that Yan Tao understood this, and then started to walk backwards.

Previously, the open space here was filled with all kinds of trebuchets, but now, those trebuchets have all disappeared.

Li Xuan walked along the corridor towards the gate tower, and Zhou Shen, who was guarding the gate tower at the moment, immediately cupped his hands at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan waved his hand, looking towards the west side from here, the rows of counterparts were already filled with all kinds of crossbows.

There are bows and arrows placed below, Leimu is placed behind, and there is a cauldron full of water ready to boil.

These things are planned to be used in the future as a means to deal with the Tianyin sect's siege.

At 20 meters on both sides of the city gate tower, there is a trebuchet placed on each side, surrounded by stones.

As long as Li Xuan gives an order, these stones will immediately pour out of the city.

Under the rolling stone, I don't know how many dead souls will be added.

"The methods I have used before are probably no longer secrets now. Even if you and I have some ingenuity to hide those things temporarily, they will be worn out bit by bit in the future when we fight against our opponents. Come down, we will face a tough battle." Li Xuan looked sideways at Yan Tao, and Yan Tao's face became more and more serious.

They guarded at Meiling Pass, and the main force of Tianyin Sect could not enter Wuzhou from Meiling Pass.

Wujiang River has been closed again, now the fastest and most direct way is to get through the Meiling Pass.

Li Xuan's opponents are counted as 3000 people, which is definitely not too many.

"My backup?" Yan Tao looked at Li Xuan worriedly.

"There is no need to worry too much about this. The king has already sent a letter to the governor, begging him to send another [-] soldiers to Meiling Pass. As long as there are another [-] soldiers and enough crossbow support, I will be fine." Hold the Meiling Pass firmly." Li Xuan responded lightly.

Yan Tao's breath immediately became a little easier, and he cupped his hands and complimented: "Your Majesty should consider it properly."

As soon as the words fell, Yan Tao seemed to be keenly aware of something, and raised his head subconsciously: "The prince said that the crossbow would support it?"

"I don't lack arrows here. What I really lack is a bow." Li Xuan looked at the mountains and dense forests in the distance, and said softly, "If I want to kill 3000 people, the longbow in my hand is not enough." There are bowstrings, which are not enough to pull so many times, even crossbows are the same, and bowstrings are the most difficult to make in this bowstring, the same is true for catapults, this is our biggest weakness."

Yan Tao didn't hear Li Xuan's words clearly, he only wrote down four words.

Thoroughly strangled.

3000 people.
