Qin Yan drank tea and thought about the current situation: Chu Li wanted to seize the throne with the will of the people, if Chu Jue did not agree, he was ready to bewitch the people, and on the grounds of ignoring the life and death of the people, he led the three cities to besiege Beijing; If Chu Jue agreed, he would have succeeded at least halfway. I don't know where he got the confidence to be the emperor that Chu Jue didn't want from his heart.

He still remembered what Chu Jue said during the Southern Zhao: Even if there is one of all the princes who can control the rivers and mountains of Eastern Chu, he is willing to be driven, even if he goes to guard the border, he has no complaints.

Meng Yue is suspicious and brutal by nature, and is not suitable for being a king.

Chu Li was selfish, he only served as an emperor for one year, and seventy percent of the three generations in the treasury were gone. He is an unscrupulous person, just because the Mu family has 100,000 elite soldiers entrusted by the ancestor emperor, he ignored the fact that the Mu family is still fighting on the battlefield, and forcibly married Miss Mu into the palace as a hostage.

The other princes are all unsuccessful and greedy for pleasure. Even if the inheritance of the ancestors is handed over to them, sooner or later they will have to give it away.

Now the Western Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and there is no match in the world. The elite soldiers of the Northern Desert are brave generals, and they are like wolves and tigers on the battlefield, and one can resist three. If the Qiangyi tribe loses the power of Nanzhao rule, then all the tribes in the south will be in their own camps, and it will be turbulent. The geographical environment of the south is special, and there are many deep mountains and old forests, although it will not invade the border for a while, but it is not suitable for conquest.

If Natsume is really driven by Chu Li this time, then the reciprocal conditions must be extremely favorable, and it is possible to cut off a big city. Qin Yan drew a rough outline of the border line of Great Chu on the table, and carefully figured out where Chu Li's troops were stationed.

Finally, his two fingers pointed at Jinguancheng and stopped there.

Luo Zhen stumbled in with sweat, "Lord Wang, people are awake!" He stood leaning against the door, looking at Qin Yan with eager and adoring eyes.

Qin Yan immediately got up and went straight to cross the courtyard.

The door was open, and He Xin was confined by Luo Zhen, so he could only look inside through the window from a distance.

Although the person is awake, his expression is not right. Qin Yan still checked the pulse through a fine silk, and his face was slightly suspicious.

"Shopkeeper Luo, how many times did you use the medicine?" Qin Yan asked Xiang Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen hurriedly replied, "I took the medicine twice, and I didn't drink much, but I didn't take half of it." ”

Qin Yan nodded, and the two of them came out to clean their hands.

Seeing that it was dusk, and still didn't see Mu Qingyan come back, Qin Yan guessed in her heart that she might have gone to Songlin Temple. He lowered his sleeves and walked to the small corner door without saying a word.

When he went out, he glanced back at He Xin, who came out.

"Lord Wang......" He Xin saw that he was going out, and knew that he was going to find his master, so he wanted to follow.

Qin Yan raised his hand to stop his words about to exit, and pointed to the north of the city with his hand.

"Lord, go out of the north gate and take the official road to the north for ten miles, and you can see the courtyard of the Songlin Temple on the eastern slope." He Xin is also a clever person, and he knows where Qin Yan wants to go.

The sky was getting dark, and Qin Yanshi unfolded a wild song and rushed north.

After walking out of the city for a while, the sand-red temple of Songlin Temple is thick and solemn, standing in the night curtain and looking silent and grand. He did not take a detour from the official road, but continued to walk north for another distance, and then took the trail and walked the mountain road to approach the back wall of the temple.

The trees on this slope are all a little old, and the pines and cypresses are afraid that they are not more than a hundred years old, thick and straight. He hid himself in the form of a tree under the tree, and the tanuki was like a tanuki parked lightly under a tree.

There's someone in the tree! Qin Yan sensed the man's breath from a distance, hidden among the branches and leaves of the three-story building. The branches of the pine tree are also thick and thin, and the dense pine needles are like a dark green canopy, which is very simple to hide.

Coming all the way from the city, it was already the third secret post outside the Lingshang Temple. He thought in his heart: Songlin Temple is not simple, either important things are hidden, or important people are hidden, so even layers of checkpoints are set up outside.

His eyes were slightly dark, this secret post was too close to the temple to stay.

Qin Yan paid attention to the movements around him, calmed down and waited for almost a quarter of an hour, when suddenly a flock of birds flew close to the courtyard wall. The people in the trees immediately moved in alarm, and the branches shook slightly.

'Boom, pop! "An object flew out of a tree and threw itself into the courtyard.

The fire in the courtyard flickered and disappeared, and the people in the trees fell silent again.

Qin Yan picked up a piece of broken branch, threw it at the place where the bird flew up just now, and he deliberately made the sound of the broken branch fall to the ground.

Sure enough, the branches on the tree shook slightly, and the sound of rustling was endless.

After a moment of silence, the man threw another signal into the courtyard, and it was silent when it responded.

The sky was extremely dark, and there was no wind, which made people panic.

Qin Yan threw a piece over every once in a while, and after four times in a row, the person on the tree began to disbelieve his eyes. Unable to hold his breath, he slid down the tree and crept closer.

At the same time, a person also came out of the temple, scolding, "Han Lao Liu, you fucking tease me, what's going on one after another?" ”

Qin Yan spun around and landed where the secret whistle was just now, quietly hiding there.

The two of them quietly scolded each other at the place where Qin Yan threw the broken branches.

"Mother, it's so strange, I didn't see anything in the tree, but there was constant movement here." Han Lao Liu was also confused.

The man scolded again, "I saw that you were wrong when I changed the guard in the afternoon, could it be that you are a traitor?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, there is a problem with Lao Tzu's eyes and ears tonight." He laughed a little flatteringly, "Boss Ren, it's almost time anyway, change the guard!" ”

"Okay, okay, I'll be here for a while, you go in and call Feng Laosi to come out." Boss Ren was so entangled by him that he couldn't do anything, so he had to let him in and call for a change of guard.

Qin Yan could see clearly from the tree, he was waiting for that Feng Laosi on the tree.

Sure enough, after a while, a disheveled man crawled down the wall with swearing.

"Okay, these few days are a critical period, give me some energy." Boss Ren patted Feng Laosi on the shoulder twice, watching him climb the tree and still not forgetting to advise, "Don't fall asleep, be careful of your dog's life!" ”

Feng Laosi vaguely agreed, and Ren Laofu climbed over the wall and went in.

When Feng Laosi climbed to the branch where Qin Yan was hiding, he didn't even see anyone, so Qin Yan quickly clicked on the acupuncture point on his chest, ripped off his belt and tied it to the dense branches and leaves.

He flew under the tree and climbed the temple wall to look inside.

Inside the wall seemed to be a patio, just in time for the changing of the guard, and the boss went into the house to find someone to replace him. Qin Yan neatly entered the courtyard, hid his body through the shadow of the house, and quickly walked out of the courtyard.

This is the meditation room of Songlin Temple, and the courtyard is close to each other. The large courtyard is set across the courtyard, and the small courtyards are closely connected. Qin Yan glanced around, most of the courtyards were not lit, but there was a place in the southeast where the lights were much brighter than the other courtyards.

He slowly approached, did not take the road in the temple, and hid in the courtyards of various places.

At the time of a cup of tea, he unknowingly explored all the courtyards he passed. When he reached the lighted courtyard, he stood still in the shadow behind the ridge on the east side, looking at the ambush around him. Except for the people outside the courtyard gate and on the roof on the west side, they are not as rigorous as outside the temple.

He crouched down and carefully lifted half of the roof tiles. Of the three people in the room, one he knew. It's none other than Yuanwen.

I only heard Yuan Wen say with great ambition, "Those people in Xicheng will definitely die tonight!" When this batch returns, I'll have to start preparing for a later moment. He twisted his beard and smiled, "In only three days at most, Liangzhou City will be full of corpses, and the people's hearts will be in turmoil." ”

"Thanks to Gongzi An's foresight, he sent people to guard those people." A monk's bell-like voice echoed, "However, the whereabouts of the four missing people have not been found so far, I have asked people to visit secretly, and there is no news, so they have disappeared in the air." ”

Another brocade-robed man comforted, "Master Jieyuan doesn't need to worry, once you are hit by the Lost Soul, there is no cure, even if you take the antidote of Desmodium, you will lose your soul and lose your mind." He smiled willingly, "Emperor Lihuang wants this world, so he has to use some means." After the chaos in Liangzhou City, the Soul Devouring Pill will be dispersed, and when the mob will rise everywhere, I will see what he Dongfang Fengjue will do to calm the people's hearts. ”

Yuan Wen laughed and said, "This is thanks to Lord Anzhuang's foresight and hiding that madman from Yunzhi. He complimented An Jingran on the surface, but in his heart he hated An Xinlou for seizing opportunities everywhere and reusing Chu Li.

When the emperor was alive, Chu Li had a long private relationship with his daughter, and he knew about it. But he didn't stop it, but he still turned a blind eye and let it go. There is no serious master in Liwang's mansion, but there are a lot of concubines, and he thinks that the vacant throne must be reserved for his daughter. But who knew that he claimed that the emperor did accept his daughter into the palace, but he was not crowned. At the same time, he forcibly married Miss Mujia, who had been coveted for a long time, which made him extremely angry.

When Dongfang Fengjue entered the palace with Mu Qinghan, he knew that he had done all his bad deeds and had to die with Chu Li, so he had no choice but to take his daughter and Chu Li to escape.

Before leaving, Chu Li still didn't forget to blackmail Miss Mujia, if he hadn't let people do things in advance, I don't know how much trouble there were.

Qin Yan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the name of Yun Qi under the eaves.

Since he was a child, he has often heard his master mention this person, saying that he has the character of a saint and can bring the dead back to life. It's a pity that he was involved in the elixir record incident many years ago, and was pursued everywhere by people who wanted to seize the treasure in the rivers and lakes, and then he simply disappeared.

At the Luochuan Martial Arts Conference that year, everyone thought that Yun Zhi had died, and he died in the hands of Chiyou Jian Qi Sheng. How do you know that he is still alive, but why is he controlled by Anxinlou again?

Yun Zhi is the father of Yun Xi and Yun Xun, and it is a marriage contract made by Shen Luochen before he entered the school.

There were many messy things discussed in the room, and Qin Yan didn't hear them mention the matter of Yunqi after listening to it for a while. The second watch drum sounded, someone brought in wine and food, and the three of them couldn't eat and drink.

Qin Yan's main purpose here was to look for light smoke, but people had never found it but heard about these many Chu Li's plans. The thunder rumbled and tightened, and I saw that the mountain rain was coming.

He just wanted to build the roof tile back, but he heard Yuan Wen ask with some concern: "Mr. An, with the strength of your Anxin Building, how many days can you pass the news back to Beijing here?" ”

"If you change horses without changing people, you can reach it in three days and nights, and you can reach it in one day and night when you send a message to the birds!" An Jingran drank the wine in the cup, proud and free, "Guozhang doesn't need to worry, there is Xuan'er in the capital, you can sit back and relax." ”

Yuan Wen nodded, "According to the plan, big things can be done in four days." And the capital will also get the news, divide the army into three cities, and ...... when the time comes" He said this, still looking out of the window vigilantly, before he said in a low voice: "When the capital is weak, if Nangong Hao really convinces Xiang Tianqi, then the big thing is simple." ”

Qin Yan frowned, no one knew about An Yuxuan and Nangong Hao being captured alive by Mu Qingyan, but they didn't know what happened to Xiang Tianqi. He was a little anxious when he suddenly shot at him with a volley. He calmly dodged, and as if he had calculated where he was going to hide, it slammed into the tile in his hand, knocking it down with a thud.

The voices in the room stopped abruptly.

A flash of lightning flashed, and Qin Yan watched with a cold gaze as the gray-feathered carrier pigeon with half of its broken wings fell off the tile, and floated towards the hiding place of the person under the eaves of the east wing.

He had just hidden himself against the eaves when two figures shot out of the room, one rushing out of the courtyard and the other stepping into the room.

"Did you see anyone approaching?" Although the ring source suppressed the sound, it was still deafening.

The guard outside the door immediately leaned over, "No one!" ”

An Jingran stood on the roof of the house and searched around, but did not find anything abnormal, so he beckoned to the ring source outside the hospital: "It's the carrier pigeon back, let's go in first!" ”

An Jingran has the ability to make Anxinlou stand in the rivers and lakes for decades, and his own kung fu is of course very good.

Yuan Wen stood under the porch with a nervous look on his face, and only calmed down a little when he heard the conversation between the two.

When the three of them returned to the room, the doors and windows were wide open, and they no longer talked about what had happened before, and even when they spoke, they looked out very vigilantly.

An Jing untied the letter of the pigeon's leg and poured out a small paper roll. He himself had seen it first, and then said slowly: "News from the capital, on the night of Dongfang Fengjue's wedding, Qi Sheng was captured in the palace. The four kings were drunk and had not been to court for more than two days. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Wen was surprised for a while and hurriedly asked: "You haven't been to the court for two days?" ”

An Jingran nodded.

Yuan Wen said to himself: "Mu Qinghan's temperament is extremely calm, since he inherited the Mu family's industry since he was a child, the old man has never seen him lose his temper, if even he is drunk for two days and does not go to court, I am afraid that there will be something wrong in the middle!" He looked up at the two of them, and then said: "Besides, Qin Yan has returned to Beijing, his temper is inscrutable, and he is a ...... who is not drunk with a thousand cups" He suddenly paused and shouted: "Master Anzhuang, it's not good!" ”

Jieyuan was startled by him, squinted at him, and turned his head to look at An Jingran.

I saw An Jingran walking on the ground with his hands behind his back, and only after a while did he sit down and pick up the note to look at it carefully, frowning.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Jieyuan looked at An Jingran's expression and asked suspiciously.

An Jing wanted to speak and stopped.
