In addition to leaving 500 soldiers to stick to the camp, all the sailors' ships pulled anchors and set off to return to Shouzhou City.

Li Rong stood at the bow of the boat and listened to Gu Qin's compliments, and responded lightly.

Seeing that Li Rong was in the mood to say much, Gu Qin made an excuse and ran to direct the movement of the fleet.

From Li Rong and Zhang Qian entered Shouzhou, it took less than two days to control the Thorn Shi Mansion and the Sailor Battalion, and successfully completed the expected plan, which can be called a successful operation.

In the Assassin's Mansion, Zhang Qian gathered all the officials in the state city early in the morning, conveyed the will of Huainan Dao and Wu Zetian, and deliberately appeased a group of officials.

After the officials dispersed, Du Yu met with Zhang Qian alone to discuss future matters.

"A few days ago, Zhao Gui sent several large ships to Caizhou west in the name of supplying the army, and he was afraid that he was transporting property to the king of Yue for the purpose of rebellion." Du Yu said anxiously to Zhang Qian.

"Yesterday, Captain Li went to the sailor camp, and in the evening came news that the sailor had been controlled, and the sailor captain Zhang Ning was tied, so it was better to send the sailor warship to chase after him, and it would be a credit if he could add it." Zhang Qian said with a deep groan.

It takes at least fifty or sixty miles a day for ships to travel by water, and those ships are estimated to be hundreds of miles away, and even unloaded the goods and sent them to Li Zhen, so it is useless to send people to chase them at this time. However, they always have to make a gesture, success or failure is a matter of effect, and whether to do or not to do is a matter of attitude.

"What the adults said is very true," Du Yu said with a light in his eyes.

Du Yu naturally knew how to do these things, but he was afraid that if Zhang Qian did not cooperate, he would not be able to explain to the imperial court.

"Huoqiu, can the two county orders and towns in Huoshan be trusted?" Zhang Qian asked instead.

A few boatloads of property, grain and grass can not play a big role, and Zhang Qian's concern is whether Huoqiu and Huoshan, two counties close to Yuzhou, will fall into Li Zhen's hands. After all, Li Zhen has been operating in Huainan Province for many years, and Zhao Gui is the assassin of Shouzhou, which is enough to influence the personnel of the two counties.

Speaking of this, Du Yu's face had changed, and he said bitterly: "Huoqiu, the county orders of Huoshan and Huoshan counties were all nominated by Zhao Gui, and if they are recognized by him, they should be his henchmen." ”

"Oh," Zhang Qian frowned.

This time I came to Shouzhou, the first task was to control the state city and the water division, followed by Huoqiu and Huoshan County, which controlled the passage of Yuzhou in Shouzhou.

Zhang Ning and Zhao Bingqian were both firmly locked and imprisoned in the cabin, ready to be taken back to the city for careful questioning.

From anchoring to approaching the state city, the fleet spent half a day's effort. The time it takes for an army to go out cannot be compared with that of a single horse, and the speed of a naval army is also considered fast.

Leaving Gu Qin and two thousand horsemen to guard the water division, Li Rong took a few soldiers to escort Zhang Ning, and Zhao Bingqian returned to the Assassin's Mansion.

After seeing Zhang Qian, he was prepared to talk about the situation of going to the sailor camp, Li Rong handed over Zhang Ning and the two to Zhang Qian, and came to the place where Zhao Gui was imprisoned in the backyard.

There were two officials standing at the gate of the courtyard, and from time to time there were whispers of crying and the sound of people carrying things. Zhang Qian issued an injunction not allowing the officials to enter the backyard, leaving only the thousand horsemen to guard Zhao Gui and wait for Li Rong to come back to inquire.

With Zhao Gui's identity, especially his wife, Princess An Lechang, Zhang Qian is not qualified to judge the guilt of the husband and wife.

"Huh!" Li Rong walked into the courtyard, suddenly frowned, and stopped. There seemed to be a master in the wing room on the right, and the thousand knights sent to guard Zhao Gui were silent, obviously falling into the hands of the enemy.

When Li Rong discovered the other party, the other party was also aware of Li Rong's existence.

The wing room on the right side opened without wind, and the situation in the room was revealed, and the three thousand horsemen collapsed on the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. Zhao Gui also passed out, and there was a gorgeously dressed woman in her fifties beside her, sobbing in a low voice, and when she saw Li Rong, she showed a hateful look.

However, what attracted Li Rong's heart was the man who walked out, with a purple robe and a ghost face, and a long knife hanging from his waist.

"Your Excellency is one of the six snake heads of the snake spirit?" Li Rong asked with his eyebrows raised.

Regardless of the texture and color of the mask worn by the purple-robed man, it is similar to the "pit viper", one of the six snake heads of the snake spirit, and it should be of the same origin.

"Ziyu," the purple-robed man said, making no secret of his identity.

"You want to save Zhao Gui?" Li Rong asked.

"I have been in Shouzhou for a long time, I wanted to take advantage of your efforts to go to the water master to wake up Zhao Gui and kill all the officials in the house, but I didn't expect you to put a ban on Zhao Gui, and even I can't untie it." Purple Fly sighed.

When Li Rong left, he applied a unique prohibition technique on Zhao Gui, if no one moved, it would be fine, and when he encountered a different kind of true qi, he would immediately attack, causing Zhao Gui to fall into a coma. Ziyu must have tried, causing Zhao Gui to pass out in a coma, unable to regain control of the state capital with Zhao Gui's identity.

"Even if you wake up Zhao Gui, what's the use of controlling Shouzhou, with the land of the two states, you want to reverse the overall situation and overthrow the imperial court?" Li Rong asked rhetorically,

"The arrow is on the bow, I have to send it, what will you do if you are in the position of the king of Yue? As a member of the Li royal family, do you succumb to Wu Zetian's skirt and make a living? Ziyu said proudly.

"I don't have much interest in the Li clan and the Wu clan's struggle for power, I only believe in the knife in my hand, with it will be the master of the world, if you want to save Zhao Gui and his wife today, just show your ability!" Li Rong said coldly.

In essence, Li Rong inherited the mentality of his previous life, and his martial arts heart was very resolute, anyway, Wu Zetian only ruled the imperial court for twenty years, and the world was peaceful during his reign, although history has not changed Li Rong does not know, but in terms of the means shown by Wu Zetian, there should not be much change, so Li Rong is not worried about anything.

"You are also the Li Tang clan, you should know that if you really want the Wu clan to be the country, you will not let go of us and other royal families, the more outstanding you are today, the deeper the Wu clan's suspicion of you, isn't your father a precedent?" Ziyu continued to persuade.

"Hmph, you don't have to worry about that. What happened to my men, and if they are harmed, you can stay and die! Li Rong's face did not change, and he took out the dragon sword and pointed it directly at Ziyu.

"They're fine, they're just unconscious." Ziyu said.

"Zhao Gui's ban will be lifted automatically after three days," Li Rong replied, "Let me see how your sword skills are!" ”

The mask blocked, and he couldn't see what Ziyu's expression was, but he could only hear him sigh, stretched out his hand and pulled out the long knife in the sheath, destroying the knife qi, and preparing to fight with Li Rong.

Feeling the sword qi of the purple flyer, there is a hint of agility in the heaviness, "Very pure Xuanwu true qi!" Li Rong said secretly in his heart.

I don't know how many masters the Xuanwu True Qi of the Li clan has created, and it can be called the easiest internal strength method to cultivate to the innate realm. Of course, the genius of the Li royal family is also one of the reasons, such as the "Sword Marquis" Li Hui, the "Snake Spirit" Li Ruoxue, and the Yue King Li Zhen are among the best, from which it can be seen that the prosperity of the Li royal family, sweeping the princes back then, and unifying the world is also an inevitability.

Xuanwu Zhengong contains a true qigong method, a sword method, a knife method and a fist method, Li Rong has browsed the whole volume of exercises, but has not tried it with a master who is good at swordsmanship.

The long knife of the purple knife has a special style, different from the ordinary horizontal knife, it seems to be an enlarged version of the horizontal knife, the blade is twice as wide, jet black and shiny, exuding a faint luster, only the blade is a line of silver, black and white, producing a strange attraction.

"Xuanwu! I didn't expect this knife to fall into your hands. Li Rong looked at the long knife in Ziyu's hand and said.

Xuanwu blade is the previous "Xuanwu" organization leader of the secret king Li Yuanxiao's saber, four years ago hidden for many years Li Yuanxiao led the "Xuanwu" organization of the master raid the palace, and Wu Zetian's master to start a fierce battle, helpless strength is invincible, defeated and died, his saber was taken away by the "Xuanwu" organization escaped masters, since then lost a trace.

"Uncle Huang and his old man fought for the future of the Li family, but you and your father helped to abuse it, and lived up to the expectations of three generations of His Majesty, so you really deserve to be killed." Ziyu said coldly.

"Mending the sky," Zi Yu said secretly in his heart, following the knife, the Xuanwu blade turned into a black pillar of light, and the sword light that burst out from the knife body was two feet wide and about one zhang long, slashing towards Li Rong in the wind.

The ancient Nuwa intercepted the giant turtle four enough to make up for the sky, and the formula of "Xuanwu Sword Method" was taken from here, giving full play to the characteristics of Xuanwu's true qi and being thick and domineering.

"Okay, Angry Thunder Style," Li Rong's smile bloomed, full of joy, as he expected, Zi Yu should be a master of the third realm of the six grades, with deep true qi and superb sword skills, he is definitely a good opponent.

The dragon sword greeted it with a thunderous sound, and the golden-white true qi was entangled like a dragon, roaring upward, and met the black pillar of light that the purple dragon waved over.

"Boom", the thunderous sound echoed in the courtyard, and the air waves blew everything in the courtyard in all directions, and even half of the courtyard wall was washed down by the air waves, and the dust was flying.

The official guarding the gate of the courtyard discovered the fierce fight in the courtyard and wanted to rush over to take a look, but he heard the sound of sword qi clashing from a long distance, and he was so frightened that he immediately retracted his head. They dare to fight with the masters.

"Rubbing", both of them took a few steps back, stood still, and stared at each other.

"Happy!" Li Rong shouted, his eyes were like knives, and his true qi ran to the extreme, exuding a golden-white brilliance all over his body, flowing uncertainly.

The flying dust was separated from the distance as if it had met a transparent glass gang, and it was forced to be three feet away.

The black true qi on the opposite purple qi rose, as if it was covered with a layer of dark armor.

Ziyu's face hidden in the mask became a little paler, but he didn't expect that the juniors of the same clan in front of him, whether it was true qi or strength, were not under him, and his sword skills were wonderful, not inferior to himself, and he didn't have the upper hand just now.
