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

Chapter 719 A substitute turns into death, avoiding death on the battlefield

The drizzle was misty, and a figure riding on a tall horse came slowly from the rain.

Wearing black clothes and golden armor, holding a seven-step measuring spear, it was Li Xuan.

"King of Nanchang."

Zhou Zhi poked his head out of the car window and looked at Li Xuan who suddenly appeared, with an involuntary panic flashing in his eyes: "You...have you been following?"

Li Xuan raised her head slightly, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, she fixed her eyes on Zhou Zhi, sneered at the corner of her mouth, and said softly, "Why, Shiro, isn't it a bit strange?"

In a word, Zhou Zhi felt a little short of breath.

Until now, he still doesn't know why, but Li Xuan has already locked him in.

It wasn't what he thought at all, he was one of the more than 30 people who were being watched secretly, and it was him that Li Xuan had been staring at.

Fortunately, he was doing all kinds of actions at the Qujiang Banquet before, so it turned out that people have been watching him for a long time.

Zhou Zhi's heart was full of sadness, he knew that he was finished.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zhi raised his hands and asked, "May I ask the King of Nanchang, where did Xianguan miss the mark?"

"You spent too much money on the minister, but I can't find out the source of your money." Li Xuan's eyes turned to look at the carriage.

Obviously he couldn't see anything, but Zhou Zhi knew that Li Xuan had already stared at the person who came from the Vientiane Pavilion in the carriage.

But at this time, Zhou Zhi couldn't care about these things anymore, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "If the lower official said, the lower official never needs to spend money to go to Qinxiang Garden?"

"Why sophistry, it's not that you don't need to spend money, but your money has already been spent in advance." A sneer of disdain flashed in the corner of Li Xuan's eyes.

This kind of thing is nothing more than doing it in a more subtle manner, and the essence has not changed at all. The essence of his going in and out again and again is a large amount of money.

There will be no exceptions, especially places like Qinxiangyuan, which are originally used to collect money, so how can it be possible without spending money.

Li Xuan really didn't understand how he had the face to say such a thing.

Just as Zhou Zhi was about to continue explaining, his expression changed suddenly, and he looked into the rain and fog around him.

Although Zhou Zhi couldn't see it, he knew that people were staring at the entire long street.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zhi's face became solemn: "The lower officials are a little puzzled. Tonight, it is clear that the soldiers and officials of Qianniuwei, Jinwuwei, Dali Temple, and Wannian and the two counties of Chang'an are all He has his own duties, if the prince uses manpower to monitor tonight, the subordinates should not be able to notice it."

Zhou Zhi is a smart man. In order to prevent Li Xuan from giving you anything tonight, he has already kept an eye on Li Xuan's people.

Although Zhou Zhi is not skilled, his memory is not bad.

He had already secretly kept an eye on the people that Li Xuan often used under his command, especially those from Qianniu Guard, Jinwu Guard and Dali Temple.

If there is any change, he will immediately terminate the transaction.

But until now, there has been no news of any changes. The soldiers and officials of Qianniu Guard, Jinwu Guard, Dali Temple, and Wannian and Chang'an counties are all in their respective positions. In other words, Li Xuan didn't use these people at all.

Especially for these people, although Zhou Zhi would not say that everyone knows them, he still remembers the basic characteristics, and when he sees them, he can recognize them at a glance.

But these people didn't show up at all, especially after the banquet in Qujiang, countless people dispersed. Shouldn't Li Xuan suspect that the news had been sent away, and thus be distracted?
The people from the Vientiane Pavilion unexpectedly appeared here, wasn't it just to make a surprise?

But everything is in Li Xuan's calculations, both of them are blocked here by him, why?
Seeing the doubts on Zhou Zhi's face, Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and said softly: "Ge Shilang is a careful person, so naturally this king will not show his feet in Qianniuwei, Jinwuwei, and Dali Temple, so this king The people who use it have never been people in these areas,"

"consult?"

"I forgot, Shilang, this is Chang'an City, and there is another yamen here that can justifiably use a large number of people to spy on it without being discovered?"

"May I ask which one?"

"Yongzhou Mansion." Li Xuan said a word, and Zhou Zhi's face changed instantly.

Yongzhou Mansion, Yongzhou Mu.

The last governor of Yongzhou was Prince Li Xian.

Although Li Xian didn't pay much attention to the affairs of Yongzhou Mansion, he kept transferring people from Yongzhou Mansion.

Especially after he succeeded as the crown prince, too many people in the entire Yongzhou Prefecture were transferred to the East Palace.

As for the remaining people, there are more people who want to be transferred to the East Palace, so Li Xian only needs to send a word, and the Yongzhou Mansion will immediately send countless people to help Li Xuan.

People from Yongzhou Mansion are also locals. If they quietly lurk around Zhou Zhi, it will be really difficult for Zhou Zhi to find them.

"It seems that the officials still underestimated the prince. I didn't expect that the prince was patient enough, and his eyes were sharp enough. He could see through this gentleman of Wanxiang Pavilion at a glance, and he would show up here." Zhou Zhi sighed softly, and looked back at the car.

His biggest problem was that he underestimated Li Xuan.

In the Qujiang Pond before, in such a mixed crowd, there were so many people who had the opportunity to exchange information with him at any time, Li Xuan turned a blind eye to them all.

It was as if he was sure that the people from the Vientiane Pavilion would not appear in Qujiang Pond, but in the end he actually blocked people on the street.

Zhou Zhi looked at the people coming from Wanxiang Pavilion. Although he didn't say a word at the moment, the complaint in his eyes was very clear.

The faces of the people in the Wanxiang Pavilion couldn't help but sink, and he didn't expect that his unexpected behavior would have been seen through.

Li Xuan stepped forward slightly on his horse, shook his head and sighed: "I was wrong, and this king never thought that he would appear at this time. If he had known this earlier, then this king would not have sent so many people." People, monitoring Ji Shilang in Qujiang, even heard some things that shouldn't be heard."

Zhou Zhi turned his head abruptly, fixed his eyes on Li Xuan, squinted his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "What is the King of Nanchang talking about?"

"What else can I say, it's nothing more than sending people to monitor." Li Xuan looked at Zhou Zhi with some pity, and said softly: "Maybe Mr. Ji doesn't know that there are two or three people on your boat at any time. Stick it under the boat, and use your ears to overhear every word of Shi Lang."

"Impossible!" Zhou Zhi shouted suddenly, his heart beating rapidly.

Qujiang Pond is vast, and although boats are constantly coming and going, with Zhou Zhi's ability, it is absolutely impossible for people to eavesdrop under the boat for so long, and he has nothing to investigate.

What's more, the bottom of the river is cold and there is almost no air. It is impossible for ordinary people to stay at the bottom of the boat for too long.

If they were frequent contacts, Zhou Zhi would have discovered these people long ago. Zhou Zhi didn't believe a word of Li Xuan's words.

Because if Li Xuan really heard every word he said on the boat and knew the role of Qin Xiangyuan in this matter, then even if he could escape from Li Xuan this time, he would not be able to escape. He might have escaped the sanctions of those behind Qinxiangyuan.

Li Xuan took another slight step forward on horseback, and at the same time, three horses rushed out from the rain behind Li Xuan.

Li Zhu, Qin Ming, Cui Ding, the three stood behind Li Xuan and were ready to attack Zhou Zhi at any time.

"It's just a small trick. You just need to prepare enough sheepskin airbags in advance. It's not too difficult to pass them for half an hour at a time." Li Xuan shook her head expressionlessly, and said, "Give Shi Lang Bei It's normal that I don't know much about these small tricks in the south."

"Sheepskin airbag?" Although Zhou Zhi had never seen what an airbag looked like, he probably knew the function of these things based on these few words.

"Gi Shi Lang." Li Xuan looked at Zhou Zhi, and said softly: "I know that Ge Shi Lang is waiting for someone to rescue me, but please rest assured that I am also waiting to see if there is any help." One, dare to risk the disgrace of the world, and dare to rescue a rebellious person who betrayed the Tang Dynasty and had an affair with Tubo?"

"No, I didn't." Zhou Zhi couldn't help but say it directly, with a flustered expression on his face, Li Xuan hit the mark.

Li Xuan sneered lightly and said, "Tell me that I don't have any, then please take a good look at what is on your carriage."

Zhou Zhi's breathing became heavy, and now he is keenly aware that Li Xuan's grasp of him and the person behind him is far beyond his expectations.

"Ge Shi Lang, no one will come tonight." Li Xuan sighed lightly, and said, "This king has already given Shi Lang time, but it is obvious that those people have given up on you."

Zhou Zhi's heart was extremely heavy, and he didn't know that those people would not come forward to save him.

Those people are best at hiding in the shadows and plotting secretly. If they really want to stand up and face the King of Nanchang head-on, none of them dare.

Because it was the King of Nanchang who stood up, but the one who stood behind the King of Nanchang was the emperor.

Zhou Zhi raised his head subconsciously, and his eyes fell on the person from Wanxiang Pavilion who was right in front of him.

In an instant, the knife flashed, and the short black knife was placed on Zhou Zhi's neck. With a light touch, a drop of blood fell from Zhou Zhi's throat.

Li Xuan couldn't help laughing.

An unusually conspicuous entry fell out from the head of the visitor from the Vientiane Pavilion.

[Bai Ying, the deputy head of the Vientiane Pavilion, is proficient in the mysteries of Vientiane. 】

Vientiane secret method, incarnate tens of millions.

Li Xuan has experienced it before, this method is quite deadly to others, but it is useless to Li Xuan.

Although the Vientiane Secret Art of the Vientiane Pavilion is closer to reality than the Tianyin Illusion Art of the Tianyin Sect, in fact, everything changes and remains the same.

It's just to deceive the eyes, deceive the heart, and deceive others.

But what does it mean to be a substitute and have this ability, Li Xuan immediately became interested.

He is a person who will go to the battlefield sooner or later, if he can have a skill to avoid death, that would be great.

……

"Actually, you don't have to be like this." Li Xuan was riding on a tall horse, wearing a golden armor, holding a black long spear, and said calmly: "The two of you seem to be in a desperate situation today, and it may not be impossible to put them to death and survive. "

Bai Ying and Zhou Zhi both raised their heads at the same time, looking at Li Xuan with faces full of surprise: Is this still alive?

Li Xuan smiled lightly, looking towards the direction of the palace: "What you two have done is abandoning your family and turning your back on the country, following the law, being hanged, your wife and children going three thousand miles, and you will not be pardoned. But your majesty is merciful, it is the two If you abandon darkness and turn to light, there will be opportunities for tolerance."

"Can your Majesty still be exempted from the crime of being demoted?" Zhou Zhi looked at Li Xuan and couldn't help but sneer.

"Of course it can't be avoided, and it's not impossible to pay off with merit." Li Xuan looked at Zhou Zhi, and said softly: "As long as the minister can help Qian Niuwei and plot against Tubo, once he succeeds, the crime will not be so great that the official will be reinstated. But returning home safely is not bad at all. To Shilang, how much His Majesty wants to completely defeat Tubo, you should know what to do. , not just fall into the shape of others.”

Others, who, Qiniang.

His father's former classmates and colleagues who were framed wantonly played with them and counted history books. Such a tragic thing is rarely matched.

Zhou Zhi never thinks that he is a good person, and he doesn't have many close friends. What he really has are just close friends based on interests.

Those people, when they see him in trouble, won't help him, and even add insult to injury because he knows too much.
