Xuan Yu returned to the garrison of the Tang army with Cheng Guang and came directly to Xue Wanche's camp. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Cheng Guang went in to report, and Xuan Yu waited outside.
After a while, Xue Wanche, Cheng Guang and others, dressed in military uniforms, walked out of the camp.
Xue Wanche came to Xuan Yu.
"Are you Liu Yu?"
"Yes, I've seen the general."
Xue Wanche looked at Xuan Yu carefully, and then looked at his long sword.
"You assume that I am the Turk, and then attack me, I want to evaluate the strength of that Turk, do you understand?"
"Yes."
"Bring the spear."
The two came to the clearing.
"Come on." Xue Wanche gave the order.
Xuanyu did not advance but retreated, and Xue Wanche nodded after seeing it.
After Xuan Yu flew back three feet, he changed his retreat to advance, and his speed became faster and faster, rushing towards Xue Wanche.
When the two of them were about a distance of about a certain distance, the long sword came out of its sheath, and the sword shadow in the sky covered Xue Wanche.
Xue Wanche didn't move, he had no momentum at all, and it wasn't until the sword shadow was about to reach his body that he took a step back, and the steel spear stepped up, easily blocking Xuan Yu's long sword.
After the sword and spear struck each other, the long sword did not pause, and turned into a sword shadow again, attacking Xue Wanche like mercury, and the sound of sword and spear clashing continued.
Xuanyu retreated.
Xue Wanche looked at Xuan Yu, his eyes revealing approval.
"At your age, it is not easy to have such a Taoist true qi.
The swordsmanship is also very flexible, but on the battlefield, the use of false moves is really not much, so it is recommended that you practice some fierceness. β
"Yes, thank you for your advice."
"After the edge, we still caught Liu Yu's sword moves, so it is not surprising that our scouts suffered serious losses when such a master was ambushed.
Cheng Guang, follow me to see Hou Junji. β
"Yes."
"Liu Yu, from today on, you are a member of my personal soldiers."
"Thank you, General!" Xuanyu knelt down on one knee and saluted.
Xue Wanche, Cheng Guang and others rode to the camp where Hou Junji was.
Other Xue Wanche's personal soldiers came over to greet Xuan Yu one after another.
Xuan Yu smiled.

"I didn't expect Daming Palace to be like this."
"Hehe, what do you think it looks like?"
"The splendor is solemn, who would have thought that it would be like this, it has not been built yet."
"Hehe, sister, I usually look at you very dignified, and you look very noble, but after we get acquainted, you~" Mingkong's question.
"Hehe, it's the two teachers my dad invited me, I don't want to be tall if I have to pretend to be tall! How nice it is to be free.
Actually, I don't want to go into the palace. "Xu Hui's truth.
"Be quiet, don't let the female officers hear it. Your loud voice can travel far and wide. β
"Oh, do you want to enter the palace?"
ββ¦ I don't want to, but it's good to enter the palace, I can avoid those brothers, they always bully me and my mother. β
"Huh? There are still people in the family who are bullying you. β
"Hmm."
"I'm okay, I'm the boss, no one dares to bully me."
Seeing Mingkong's sad look, Xu Hui hurriedly comforted him.
"I've come to Daming Palace, so let's start a new life, I can't see any brothers and brothers, and I'll be sisters every day in the future, hehe."
"I didn't expect you to be like this?"
"Huh? Have you heard me? β
"Of course, you are a famous talented girl, I always thought you were very stable and full of poetry and books, but it turned out to be a crazy girl."
"Humph! Dare you call me a minx. Then you are a strong girl, such a heavy table, you can lift it alone. β
"Shh~ I'm helping you."
"Hehe, don't call me a minx."
"Okay. Don't tell anyone about me lifting the table. β
"No problem, Hook!"
Looking at this naΓ―ve guy, Mingkong felt for the first time that the plan "fell" and might be hanging.
β¦β¦
Yin Zuwen looked at the many letters unfolding on the desk, thinking about it, Wu You seemed to be standing aside, not daring to disturb, the two of them had been in Luoyang for three days, and most of the time they stayed in this inconspicuous house.
Yin Zuwen didn't talk much today, yesterday afternoon, the two went to the gate of Liufu and saw Wu Chen, who was disguised as Duan Chen and pretended to be a scholar, and followed behind Duan Weize.
Regarding what Duan Wei Zeyu Wenyi has done in the past few days, it has been collected and summarized, although he can't see anything, but Yin Zuwen is becoming more and more silent.
After some information came over today, Yin Zuwen began to frown.
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in."
Seeing that it was dust, Wu Youxiang hurriedly saluted, and then retreated and closed the door.
"Lao Yin, why did you come to Luoyang, you are still in a hurry to see me."
"What have you been up to lately?" Yin Zuwen did not look up.
Bichen paused.
ββ¦ Analyze the situation in Gaochang. β
"That's what I want to do, hey! Li Shimin will really choose the time. β
"What happened?"
Yin Zuwen raised his head and looked at Bichen.
"In the past few days, Duan Weize and Yu Wenyi have been playing in Luoyang, do you know?"
"I've heard of it."
"More than a month ago, Duan Weize joined the Qianniuwei of the forbidden army, and now, all twenty Qianniuwei have come to Luoyang, and most of them have checked into the Anrong Inn under pseudonyms, what do you think about this?"
"Say whatever you want." Bichen didn't want to guess.
"Duan Weize has already shown a good internal strength, so when Ling Yun and Ling Yin see that Duan Weize still retains Yuanyang, what will they do?"
Bichen's face became a little more serious, but he didn't answer.
"You are familiar with Kou Zhong, how did he destroy our forces in Jiangnan?"
Bichen's eyes turned cold and looked at Yin Zuwen.
"I'll do it." Yin Zuwen didn't want to waste time.
"Kou Zhong and Li Jing led the Tang army, always with a thunderous momentum, attacking all the strongholds in an area, and very few people could escape.
This leaves us powerless to grasp the origin of the matter, who leaked these arrangements, and when they were leaked, all of which are unknown.
Only one thing is certain, the traitor is not low enough to know most of the layout of that area.
I speculate that Kou Zhong and Li Jing started with the small role of our Holy Gate, tortured them after they couldn't catch them, and then quickly found a relatively important person, and then made him rebel and explain all the local arrangements, so that they could strike with lightning and kill mercilessly until no one was left.
This method not only protects the local traitor, so that we cannot find out, but also deters the other Companions, which is very effective. β
Bichen looked at Yin Zuwen.
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"If what I expected is correct, Li Shimin wants to do something to Luoyang, relative to you... Hands-on. β
ββ¦ Are you too sensitive? Laojunguan is a Taoist holy land, Li Shimin doesn't dare to mess around, right?
Ling Yun and Ling Yin didn't know much. β
Bichen said slowly.
"What about their master, Rong Jiaojiao?"
Yin Zuwen was still looking at Bichen.
His eyes glowed, and he didn't speak.
"If one of them is captured, and the other goes back to report the news and find Rong Jiaojiao to come to the rescue, what will she do?
Especially when he was told that it was just some ordinary martial arts personnel, and the most powerful one was just Duan Weize, would Rong Jiaojiao not save him?
If Jiaojiao falls into a trap and is captured, tortured and confessed, how much of your power in Luoyang will be dug up? β
Bichen's face finally changed.
"A month ago, Li Lingkui, the king of Yan, changed his title to King Lu, and five days ago, he left Chang'an and rushed to the fiefdom to inspect. As a proud disciple of Li Shentong, a member of the royal family who has been an outstanding master of the Li family since he was just thirty, do you think it is normal to inspect the fiefdom at this time? β
"He's coming to Luoyang?"
"I don't know.
Look at this again, Tiger Prison usually has 10,000 garrisons, but Zheng Gaochang transferred 5,000 people, so there are only 5,000 garrisons after the beginning of the year, but just three days ago, the food supply of the Tiger Prison Barracks was mentioned again to 10,000 people, which is still the highest level, so what are these extra 5,000 elite soldiers going to do? β
The city government that was in dire dust was still stunned for a moment, and after digesting the news, his face finally eased and he answered.
"Jiaojiao, she hasn't been in Luoyang recently.
What do you want me to do? If it's just a warning to the two of you, you don't need to look for me, do you? β
Yin Zuwen sighed.
"Let's confirm one thing with you first, how much do Ling Yun and Ling Yin know about the seed plan? For example, do they know Xuanyu and do they know about Xuanyu's joining the army? β
Bichen's face didn't change at all, but his eyes were already shining with a cold light.
"Why don't you want to warn the two of them?"
Yin Zuwen smiled bitterly.
"It's a real dilemma this time.
Li Shimin sent his younger brother, mobilized 5,000 elite soldiers, and carefully selected Duan Weize as bait, if Ling Yin Lingyun didn't take the bait, then what would he think? β
ββ¦ The message leaked. β
"After that, we will strictly investigate all those who know about it, and may even investigate and rectify the entire military headquarters of Datang, which is very unfavorable to our seed plan."
Bichen had to nod.
ββ¦β¦ What countermeasures do you have? β
"Only one, Ling Yin or Ling Yun fell into the trap of Qianniuwei and was arrested, but she didn't have a chance to say anything."
"Well, what do you need me to do?" No longer hesitates.
Yin Zuwen said so much, what he was waiting for was the cooperation of Bichen.
"Do you have anyone in Luoyang Prison?"
Bichen thought for a moment and nodded.
"There's a jailer who is my man."
"After late at night, you and I will go to the vicinity of An Rong Inn to have a look, if there are other masters besides Qianniu Wei who are staring at An Rong Inn and are staring at Anrong Inn , we can only rely on your jailer."
After that, Yin Zuwen sighed again.
"Hey~ Ling Yun and Ling Yin are rare good seedlings of Mending Heaven Pavilion, and I also hope that they can grow up.
I'm still trying to think of a way to preserve them. β
"Okay, I'll come to you, go arrange something first."
"Hmm!"
Bichen turned around and left, leaving Yin Zuwen alone to think.
Wu Youru walked in, and when he saw the appearance of the sect master, he could only stand quietly aside, waiting for orders.
