On the outskirts of the southwest city of Yangzhou, an abandoned ancient tower stands tall.

On the top floor of the ancient tower, a figure is in the window, looking at the scenery of the entire Yangzhou.

Dressed in black brocade robe, with a tall figure, a silver crown on his head, and his hands behind his back, he looks like a noble son with a relaxed attitude.

Just then, a slight sound of footsteps came from downstairs.

Immediately after, a middle-aged figure wearing a gray coarse cloth robe appeared at the entrance of the building.

It's an extremely ordinary face, so ordinary that you can't think of any words to describe it.

Looking at the noble son standing at the window, the middle-aged man sighed with a complicated expression: "I'm afraid no one would have imagined that the king of Nanchang County, who everyone was waiting for at the South Bank Wharf, would come to this long-abandoned Universiade Ancient Tower. Lord Wang, please see Yan Zhuang."

"Did you say there were a lot of people waiting at the South Shore Pier?" A familiar voice came from the noble prince's body, he didn't look back, just looked in the southeast direction, shook his head and said, "This king was only awarded the official position of inspecting the school Honglu Shaoqing, and only dealt with the Silla people, and had nothing to do with the officialdom of Yangzhou City."

"Lord Wang, although Honglu Temple is only in charge of guests and murderous ceremonies, but when the prince arrives in Yangzhou, he is an angel, and it is a big sin to neglect angels!" Yan Zhuang smiled lightly and bowed his hand slightly to Li Xuan.

He knew, of course Li Xuan knew such a thing.

The reason why he asked this was nothing more than to be sure.

"Sir, in the eyes of this king, the matter in Wuzhou is much more serious than Yangzhou, Your Majesty is not unaware of this matter, the matter of appeasing Silla and asking for the guilty envoy only needs Dou Changshi to come forward, there is no need to call this king back at all, and it is even used for 800 miles to expedit, why is this?"

As he spoke, Li Xuan turned around suddenly, staring at Yan Zhuang standing in front of him.

Regarding the sudden award of the post of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, Li Xuan is still confused.

There was still a big mess of things to deal with in Wuzhou, and he was eager to fly to Wuzhou immediately, but the emperor called him back.

"This is Dou Changshi's invitation, the prince must have known, and this is also what His Majesty meant, because the southeast must be safe, and Yangzhou must be safe first." Yan Zhuang's face was extremely solemn, and his words immediately made Li Xuan suspicious.

"What's going on here?" Li Xuan suddenly frowned.

What made the emperor suddenly make such a decision must have happened a huge change.

"Lord Wang, do you still remember the official document sent to Shendu earlier, please transfer the official file of Zuo Guoyi Du Lieutenant Zhang Ji?" Yan Zhuang threw out a sentence lightly.

"Of course." Li Xuan nodded, and then explained, "Yongchang Bo Liang Ming is dead, the cause of his death, Mr. also knows, the Tianyin Sect has done so many tricks and feet on him, it must have other intentions. This king is worried that the Tianyin Church will use this to manipulate Zuo Guoyi's commander Zhang Ji, so he wants to investigate."

"Captain Zuo Guoyi is suspicious, what if Captain Liu Yun is also suspicious?" Yan Zhuang's words made Li Xuan feel cold in his vest.

"How?" Li Xuan's face was serious, and he said, "If there is a problem with the left and right Guoyi Commanders, then even if Commander Shi Lin is still loyal, the entire Xinlin Mansion will be completely paralyzed.

If they take the opportunity to attack Shi Lin, the entire Xinlin Mansion will completely fall, and they will even be misled into dealing with other Zhichong Mansions.

In this way, half of Yangzhou's four major folding mansions will have to be abolished, and if there are other means, then the whole of Yangzhou will be in danger."

"As the old saying goes, attacking Yang must attack Huai, defending Yang must defend Huai, and vice versa, if the Tianyin Sect takes the southeast, it goes straight to Yangzhou, and then paralyzes the entire Huaibei in an instant, then the imperial court can't be transferred even if it has soldiers."

Yan Zhuang shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the prince's trip to Yangzhou, I'm afraid that Your Majesty wouldn't have known that Yangzhou's problem was so serious."

"But that's just speculation." Li Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This king just thinks that something is wrong, and there is no evidence."

"Your Majesty, when do you need to prove something?" Yan Zhuang retorted casually, and Li Xuan was immediately speechless.

After thinking for a while, Li Xuan asked, "Presumably, Your Majesty must have made some arrangements, Xinlin Zhichong Mansion, as well as the four major Zhichong Mansions in Yangzhou, Your Majesty will inevitably clean them up. Therefore, this king only needs to be responsible for the assassination of the Silla envoy and the Silla envoy."

"Of course, it was a member of the Tianyin Sect who assassinated the envoy of Silla, so presumably the prince already had a plan." Yan Zhuang looked at Li Xuan, and he was also curious about Li Xuan's methods.

Li Xuan came here quietly, and he must have made all the arrangements.

"Compared to the hidden dangers in the government soldiers, the Tianyin Sect is not worth mentioning at all." Li Xuan shook his head, he would rather fight desperately with the people of the Tianyin Sect than get involved in the mess of the government soldiers. z.br>

After all, even if he gets involved in those things, he will die if he is not careful.

Those people in the Tianyin Sect rely too much on personal force, and their brains are a little spindle.

But the generals of the government are different, they will mobilize a large number of soldiers and horses anytime and anywhere.

The battle array cooperates, bows, arrows, crossbows, and even Fuyuan crossbows used in city defense, they can take them out.

If you really want to force these people to be anxious, even if Li Zhi comes, they will have to be killed.

"Your Majesty naturally has some arrangements, and the King of Nanchang will sit and watch, but the Tianyin Sect?" Yan Zhuang looked at Li Xuan with a solemn expression and asked, "But you need to make a move."

"Of course." Li Xuan nodded sharply and said, "If it's just a Wen Bingyan, even this king can solve it by himself, but the real trouble is An Rongxiang, who is a big master of the Xuanxian Realm, but it's not something that this king's small body can resist, and he still needs his husband to take action."

"This nature." Yan Zhuang nodded, since he came to find Li Xuan, his intention to make a move could not be more obvious.

Neither of them mentioned the matter of transferring troops to the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion and other nearby Zhichong Mansions.

"The show is about to begin!" Li Xuan's gaze crossed the city wall of Yangzhou City and landed directly on Xicheng Street, a very obvious building.

"That's the Silla Embassy, isn't it?" Yan Zhuang followed Li Xuan's gaze, estimated the location a little, and guessed what place it was.

"Yes, this king has sent a message to the envoys of Silla, and they should be able to receive it now." Li Xuan turned sideways slightly, and between the turns of his eyes, a touch of water color suddenly appeared under his eyes.

A few kilometers away, everything was clear in his eyes.

On the busy street, in front of the largest house opposite the Fangmen, a tall horse galloped up.

Galloping all the way on the military intelligence gallop, the officer dressed in the Thousand Niu Wei Mansion quickly stopped in front of the Silla Embassy, then turned over and dismounted, holding a prayer note in his hand, standing in front of the door, not handing over the worship post, nor looking for someone to pass the message, just standing in front of the Silla Embassy.

In a moment's time, a middle-aged thin man wearing a blue plaid robe walked out of it quickly, came to the front of the officer of Qianniuwei, and bowed sincerely: "I don't know what this general is here?"

"I was instructed to pass on the order of the king of Nanchang County, ordering Silla to ask the envoy of the sinner, Qin Dujiaogan, to wait at the embassy and not to go anywhere else." After Qian Niuwei finished the order, he immediately put away the prayer post in his hand, and he didn't even mean to ask Silla to ask for guilt and make Qin blunt.

Qin Jiaogan's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but take a step forward and asked, "I wonder why the King of Nanchang County will come?"

"After two hours, your envoy will wait patiently." After Qian Niuwei finished speaking, he immediately turned on his horse and quickly headed towards the north.

"This king of Nanchang is very strong." In the restaurant opposite, Wen Bingyan stood at the window, looking at everything in her eyes.

She lowered her head and pondered, she had been sent here by An Rongxiang to arrange the assassination.

However, everything has just been arranged, and she has not left yet, so she happened to see the scene in front of her, the king of Nanchang will arrive here in two hours, then she may not be able to wait.

An Rongxiang did not allow Wen Bingyan to stay in Yangzhou City for a long time, lest she be targeted by Shi Jin.

Soon, Wen Bingyan had already appeared on the street below the restaurant, with a gray and yellow bamboo hat, mixed

In the crowd, he ran out of the West City.

However, just as she was leaving Qingpingfang, suddenly, a scream rang out in the street behind her: "Dead."

Wen Bingyan subconsciously turned around, and suddenly saw a black figure, falling straight down from the restaurant in the distance, falling heavily on the ground, twitching slightly, and never moving again.

That restaurant is the same restaurant that Wen Bingyan stayed in before.
