Chapter 57: The Dead City
"Bad guys!"
Xiakou, the city lord's mansion, reunited after a long absence, months of longing accumulation, after the initial grievances and unwillingness gradually dissipated, finally erupted like a flood beast, as if to integrate all of their own into each other's bodies and no longer distinguish each other, and finally thousands of thoughts turned into a cuckoo's blood-like wail, and the weak and boneless body fell weakly on the strong chest, feeling the strong and powerful heartbeat, and venting the dissatisfaction in the bottom of the heart like a dream.
Li Xuan gently covered the slippery silk quilt on the smooth skin like satin, looking at the beautiful woman who was half-awake and half-asleep, with a happy smile on the corner of her mouth, and couldn't help but feel an indescribable tenderness in her heart.
If it is said that after coming to the Tang Dynasty, what satisfies Li Xuan the most is not the creation of the foundation that is now eye-catching to the princes, for him, it is only a matter of time before he rises, but what really satisfies Li Xuan is that he has changed the life trajectory of this original pink gang leader and has become an outstanding strong woman with the temperament of Aoxue Hanmei.
Whether it is wrist or ability, Yun Yuzhen is not much worse than that Li Valve Iron Lady now.
General Yun?
A silent smile tugged at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, as if he had discovered much more women in the Tang Dynasty than in the world he had experienced before.
After a while, the beautiful woman in her arms finally recovered from the peak of extreme pleasure, feeling the state of her body at this moment, a touch of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes, and then she thought of something, looked at Li Xuan and said, "Longevity formula?" ”
It was no wonder that she was surprised that the true qi in the bodies of the two of them at this moment was actually in a way that made her feel very ashamed, perfectly blended together, without the slightest rejection.
"Sort of." Feeling the changes in the true qi in his body, Li Xuan did not deny it. It seems that he has found a way to perfectly integrate the elixir of life, but in fact, the fusion of exercises does not necessarily require him to take the risk himself. The method of cultivation can indeed solve this problem perfectly, just like the true qi in one's own body, the original imperial true qi that is just to the yang. At this moment, it was a little more vigorous, and the unique characteristics of the wood attribute immortal technique cultivated by Yun Yuzhen were not repulsed in the slightest, and the two were perfectly integrated.
Yun Yuzhen frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with this answer, but he didn't ask any more, changed to a more comfortable position and continued to lie in Li Xuan's arms, and said with some resentment for a while: "But I don't know, Brother Li is here this time." How long does it take to prepare? ”
Feeling the resentment of the beautiful woman in his arms, Li Xuan felt a slight apology in his heart, and couldn't help but hug the moving delicate body, feeling the warm fragrant nephrite, but he didn't have too much desire at the moment: "I secretly came to Xiakou this time to annex the power of Baling Xiao Miao, and I won't go back until Xiao Miao's power is destroyed." ”
Yun Yuzhen's eyes flashed with joy. Then he frowned and said: "Xiao Mo has been running Baling for many years, and he has strong financial support from the Baling Gang. I once estimated that if you want to capture Bashu in one fell swoop, it will take at least 10,000 naval troops and 30,000 army troops, and if you want to, it will take two months. ”
At present, although Li Xuan has annexed Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army, plus the troops of Jingling, Jiangxia and even Pegasus Ranch. The total number of troops under his command is as high as 150,000, and 40,000 soldiers and horses may not seem like much, but the account cannot be counted in this way.
Not to mention that Li Xuan can't get a 10,000-scale sailor division in his hands now, just in terms of the army, the north has to guard against Wagang Li Mi. Although Li Mi's strategic focus is in Luoyang at present, it is difficult to guarantee that Li Mi will not attack the west, taking advantage of the fact that Li Xuan's power was initially established and his foundation was unstable, he moved south to nip Li Xuan, a force that may become a big trouble in the future.
Therefore, Li Mi had to guard against it, from Nanyang to Xiangyang, at least 50,000 troops were arranged, in addition, the alliance between Fu Gongyou and Li Zitong also formed a huge deterrent to Li Xuan's flank, in addition to Jiujiang Lin Shihong, and the Song Valve, who has an ambiguous attitude so far, 150,000 troops, to guard against all parties, plus to stabilize the security of various places under the rule of Dìng, at present, it is only to guard against all forces, Li Xuan's hands are now overstretched, 40,000 troops, unless Li Xuan will sprinkle beans into soldiers' magic skills, out of thin air, Otherwise, the strength in Li Xuan's hands alone would not be enough to draw his hand and annex Baling Xiao Xian in one fell swoop.
Although in this way, Li Xuan will definitely have more time to stay in Xiakou to accompany him, but Yun Yuzhen also knows that at present, the world is chaotic and the situation is turbulent, Li Xuan, as the overlord of one party, must not linger in the gentle township, so sooner or later he will become the king of the dead country.
"Jade really thinks too much." Li Xuan smiled slightly, and a touch of disdain flashed in his eyes: "According to the intelligence, Xiao Milling can maintain the current power thanks to the financial support of the Baling Gang, but this also makes the Baling Gang become a tyrant in the business world in the Baling area, and is under the special care of Xiao Milling, and almost monopolizes all the money-making industries in Baling." ”
"It's a well-known thing, it's not any information, but what's the matter?" Yun Yu really looked at Li Xuan puzzled, Xiao Milling can have today, the large amount of money collected by the Baling Gang from the Qinglou trading and human population transactions all over the world can be said to be indispensable, and it is also an important reason why Xiao Milling can compete with the world's heroes with just Baling.
"The stakes are very high, if you want to destroy Xiao Milling, this Xiang family is a key link, and we don't even need to make a move, we can take Baling in one fell swoop!" Li Xuan smiled.
Yun Yuzhen blinked in confusion, he didn't need to make a move to take down Baling, is this possible?
Li Xuan smiled silently, although Xiao Mo was strong and strong, but in Li Xuan's opinion, among the six princes in the south, it was the easiest one to deal with, if it wasn't for the urgency of time, Li Xuan would not have come in person.
Cihang Jingzhai is about to hold a huge election of the emperor, Li Xuan's natural way, the future lord of the world, has been given to Li Er in Cihang Jingzhai, if the election of the emperor is successful, although it is impossible to really let Li Shimin ascend to the supreme treasure like this, but in Cihang Jingzhai is now holding up the momentum, once successful, Li Shimin's reputation among the people will be pushed to an extreme, if Li Shimin has no ambition, this reputation will become a threat to his life, but as a number of emperors in history, how can Li Shimin not have ambition? This prestige will become an important political capital in his future struggle for domination in the world, even surpassing He's Bi itself.
Therefore, it is impossible for Li Xuan to let the emperor election conference go smoothly in public and private, and the emperor election conference must be destroyed, but before that, there must be a stable situation in the south.
The Baling Gang seems to be inconspicuous among the southern princes, but the position it occupies is extremely delicate, there is Shen Faxing in the south between Baling and Song Valve, and to the east, Li Xuan currently has most of his energy being restrained by Wagang, Fu Gongyou, Li Zitong and even Lin Shihong, just as Yun Yuzhen said, there is no room to deal with superfluous things at the moment.
It is precisely because of the containment of all parties that although the Baling Gang is in a corner, there are almost no opponents, if they jump out to make trouble when they go to Luoyang, it is a little difficult to clean up, so before leaving, this unstable tumor must be completely removed!
Xiangyu Mountain!
The characters who can deceive Ssangyong in the original book are also unstable factors, and now, for Li Xuan, these unstable factors will become the biggest variable that threatens him, so they must be removed!
Two days later, Yun Yuzhen arranged Xiakou's affairs properly, and then set off with Li Xuan in disguise and went to Baling, this operation also requires the huge intelligence system of the Giant Kun Gang and the eyeliner planted in Baling, so Yun Yuzhen must follow together, accompanied by You Qiuyan, a master recruited from the Haisha Gang, and several guards, disguised as business travel, and mixed into Baling.
Lifeless!
This was Li Xuan's first impression of Baling.
Walking into this city, it is absolutely difficult for you to feel a trace of vitality from the pedestrians around you, whether it is the pedestrians on the road or the scattered stalls and vendors on the side of the road, there is an indescribable numbness in the eyes, as if you have lost hope in life, walking on the street, as if walking past you is not a living person, but a body without a thought, like a walking corpse like a mechanical completer of his own work.
"What's going on?" Yun Yuzhen frowned and looked at this city, although he had heard of the current situation of Baling, but it was the first time he had entered this city, and the city in front of him gave people the feeling of being like a pool of stagnant water.
"Resentment!" Li Xuan sneered.
"Resentment?" Yun Yu looked at Li Xuan in confusion.
"The people are resentful, life is hopeless, but they are powerless to resist, this city is dead!" Li Xuan shook his head and said, "It's still a bit too high to look down on Xiao Miao." ”
What kind of grief caused the people of this city to have such feelings? Not even resentment!
It's not that there isn't, but there have been, but it has been covered by a numb heart, and there is nothing more sad than dead!
"Look, my lord." You Qiuyan pointed in a direction.
Everyone looked at it, but saw a group of wolves like tigers, a strong man dressed as a family dragged a rather beautiful girl unscrupulously rampant in the city, behind this group of people, but it was an old man who let out a heart-rending scream chasing, but was beaten by the nursing home.
Li Xuan has seen a lot of tragic situations in the world, but what is really chilling is the gaze of the people around him, numbness, without the slightest fluctuation of affection, and even looking at the eyes of those nursing homes, even angry or resentful feelings are not served, just staring blankly at this scene, letting the old man be knocked unconscious by the nursing homes and thrown on the street, the crying woman seems to have been appointed, crying and letting those arrogant nursing homes drag her away, crying and looking at the old man's body fainting on the road, but there is nothing she can do.
"Bring that old man here, I have something to ask." After thinking about it, Li Xuan motioned for a few accompanying guards to go over and bring the old man with him, while he and Yun Yuzhen found an inn with a medium scale to live in, because in this city, the highest grade must be inseparable from the Xiang family.
