There was a moment of silence in the swaying carriage.

After a long time, Li Xuan finally sighed: "Now the situation is not only the land of Wu Yue, the whole world is like this, Wu Yue is just a microcosm." ”

"That's true." Kui Gong glanced at his son Kui Heng, and then continued: "Lao Yu went to Chang'an many years ago, five surnames and seven families, four surnames in Guanzhong, four surnames in Hedong, Shannan in Hebei, and Longyou in Sichuan, all of which are like this, colluding with each other, assisting each other, and controlling the whole world. ”

Speaking of this, Kui Gong smiled slightly bitterly and said: "In this land of Wu Yue, only the four surnames of Wuzhong are seen by the people of the world. I waited, I really went to Chang'an, no one recognized it, I could only rely on myself, or the money in my hand. ”

The Kui family is only one step away, and it will be reduced to a poor family.

By doing so, they are struggling for the future of their family.

In addition to power, money is the best help for them to change their fate.

It's no wonder that in this land of Wuyue, everyone is greedy for profit.

"There is one more thing, this king does not know." Li Xuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he asked in a calm tone: "With the opportunity of Kui Weng, it is impossible not to know that the Wuzhou incident is imminent, so why do you still invest a lot of money and manpower in Wuzhou?" ”

"Is the prince saying that Qi Gongzi is transferring benefits to the Tianyin Sect?" Kui Gong reacted immediately, and then waved his hand and resolutely denied it: "Qi Gongzi is the nephew of Yuan Thorn Shi, it will not be like this, as for the Wuyue crisis, the prince laughed, there are sixteen families such as me, and the sky is cloudy and rebellious, what kind of storm can be set off." ”

Kui Gong's last sentence was very confident, looking forward to flying.

If Li Xuan hadn't known that the three thousand elites of the Tianyin Sect had infiltrated various places, he would really think so.

However, the sixteen families of Wu Yue also have the same visual blind spot as the big man in the center of the court, and there are some places where they don't think about it at all, and they don't think about it.

It is these blind spots that the Tianyin Sect uses to directly tear apart the network that the world's families think is extremely strict, and they are arrogant and unreasonable.

"This king knows that there are silk weaving guilds in various parts of Wuyue, what this king wants to know is that among the sixteen guilds in this kind of guild, which one is most likely to collude with the Tianyin Sect, and will betray the imperial court at a critical moment, cooperate with the Tianyin Sect, and disturb the entire southeast?" Li Xuan's words are extremely clear and murderous.

"There won't be such a family." Kui Gong immediately denied it categorically.

"You're denying it too quickly, Kui Weng, so there is." Li Xuan's words made Kui Gong fall into the ice cellar, and his whole body was cold.

Li Xuan turned his head, looked to the side and was still thinking, and when he heard Li Xuan say this, his face was stunned, and he said expressionlessly: "Kui Weng, you see that it is normal for Brother Kui to react like this, at least think about it, think about it, who is possible." After all, there is not only one family with similar suspicions, but only a few or two dare to do anything to do it, who is this family? ”

Who doesn't have the idea of subverting the world in their hearts, but because of the pressure and constraints of reality, they all stubbornly suppressed the desires in their hearts.

But there are always people who can no longer survive under the pressure of reality, and taking risks has become their last way.

……

"In every family, there are outstanding talents, and there are also declining scum, especially the kind of people who are almost on the verge of despair, whose future is cut off, and there is no other place to choose."

Li Xuan's voice was faint, and he said: "This king thinks that no one will think about rebelling with the traitor from the beginning, they just want to gain benefits by colluding with the traitor, and even turn their back on the traitor at a critical moment and establish meritorious deeds, there are also such people, so, Kui Weng, in your eyes, who will such a person be?" ”

The Tianyin Sect can cultivate three thousand elites, but it is not just as simple as arming weapons.

The amount of food consumed, the cloth used, and even the medicine consumed are too large to ignore.

If it is in other places, then it is easy to be overlooked, but in this land of Wu Yue, everyone is careful.

The control of the Sixteen Clans of Wu Yue over the local area has reached an extremely strict point, and if there is no one to act as an internal response, the Tianyin Sect will not develop to such a point no matter what.

Li Xuan now gave a step, and Kui Gong was finally moved, and couldn't help but raise his head.

"The sixteen families of Wu Yue and the Kui family have reached the verge of decline, and they even have to cooperate with characters like Qi Gongzi, but we always retain a trace of the bottom line." Kui Heng suddenly spoke, glanced at his father, and then looked at Li Xuan: "Lord, each has an inside story, please forgive the Kui family for not being able to explain it to the prince." However, the prince can ask Qi Gongzi, this life-saving straw of Qi Gongzi is not only useful for my family, but also for other families. ”

"Heng'er!" Kui Gong looked at Kui Heng with surprise and anger, although he didn't say it explicitly, but it was actually not the same as what he said.

Li Xuan suddenly laughed at herself: "Kui Weng, you know too little about this world, Your Majesty is in the south of the Yangtze River, not only the governor of Yuezhou Duan, the king of Wuzhou, the governor of Shezhou, the history of Shen Thorn in Changzhou, and even a Hangzhou Yuan Thorn history is extremely difficult to deal with, and now he has sent this king to the southeast, what is Your Majesty thinking in his heart, Kui Weng, haven't you counted?" ”

Li Xuan's words came out, and there was silence in the entire carriage.

The sixteen families of Wu Yue tried to bind the history of the assassination of the dynasty through various means, and the emperor really knew nothing.

Wu Yue Sixteen, have they really achieved their goal?

"Take Hangzhou Yuan Tingshi as an example, although Gongzi Qi is his nephew, he is just the nephew of a concubine, as long as he casually divorces that concubine, then there is no connection between him and Gongzi Qi, and even perhaps, Yuan Tingshi is doing it now." Li Xuan's gaze gently swept over Kui Gong's body, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the Assassin's Mansion.

Kui Heng on the side had already widened his eyes in great surprise, but although Kui Gong's face was embarrassed, he was much calmer.

This is the bearing that a family head should have.

"Brother Kui said everything he could say, and after the king went back, he would naturally give Brother Kui a credit, but whether this credit is candied fruit, arsenic, sweet orange, or Jinshan, it depends on what the Kui family will do next.

After all, Brother Kui is your son of Kui Weng, without the help of the family, even if he gets a meritorious service, he will be cut down a lot, and even hated by others. How to measure, Kui Weng naturally understands, and there must be no need for this king to say anything. ”

After speaking, Li Xuan leaned back slightly and began to close his eyes.

When Kui Heng said that he was in a family that was connected with Qi Gongzi, in Li Xuan's mind, a family name had automatically jumped out.

The Xia family, Yuhang Xia family, came from the Xia family of the ancient Xia Dynasty.

Since Xia was destroyed by Shang, some descendants of the Xia Dynasty migrated to Yuhang, and it didn't take long for them to become a prominent family in Yuhang.

Lingling of the Eastern Han Dynasty guarded Xia Qin, the East China Sea scholar Xia Gong, the Jin Dynasty painter Xia Zhan, the famous Southern Song Dynasty chess player Xia Chisong and so on.

In the former Sui Dynasty, someone in the Xia family also served as a county guard, but now only Xia Yan in Huzhou is the first county commander, and the fall of the Xia family can be imagined.

Li Xuan thought about it carefully, there were no children of the Xia family who appeared at the banquet today.

Either the people of the Xia family were extra cautious, and after Qi Gongzi had an entanglement with Li Xuan yesterday, they immediately opened the distance between them and Qi Gongzi.

Either that, or they already knew in advance that there would be an assassination tonight.

Even the connection between them and the Tianyin Sect is far deeper than people think.

……

"Lord Wang, we have arrived." Qiu Zhenmu's voice suddenly came from outside the car, and the carriage also slowed down completely at this moment, and finally stopped completely.

"If the three of you don't mind, then let's go out and have a look together, tonight to strangle the rebels, it's just the beginning of getting here." Li Xuan directly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and then jumped out of the carriage.

At the same time, Li Xuan stretched out his hand and wiped it back, and a long sword had already been pulled out of his seat.

This is an extremely strong eight-sided dragon pattern Han sword, not a blade that only wants to be sharp like a soft sword.

The long sword is out of the sheath, and the soft sword is even more unpredictable, and you can break in with a sword when you see the opportunity, and you can kill people, but the eight-sided Han sword is a completely different way of fighting.

The long sword is extremely tough, the sword opens and closes, but it is horizontal and vertical, decisive in killing, and very disciplined.

Another long iron rod was taken out by Li Xuan from under the seat on the other side, and then joined the long sword one-on-one.

The iron rod had been directly twisted with the eight-sided Han sword to become an extremely sharp lance.

It's just that the blade is a little longer than the usual lance.

Under the moonlight, Mingshi's blade flashed with a sharp sword light, reflecting Leng Yue's killing intent.

Faintly, a crisp sword roar could be heard, cheering.

Li Xuan's face showed a warm smile, one hand clenched, and with a soft "bang", Li Xuan slammed the lance on the rock under his feet.

The rock immediately cracked and countless cracks spread in all directions from under Li Xuan's feet, reaching several meters away.

All of a sudden, Kui Gong, Kui Heng, as well as Su Yu, Du Liu, Gao Xiang and others, all their eyes were focused on Li Xuan for a while, and they were slightly shocked.

Li Xuan pointed to the bottom of the mountain with his left hand, pointed to a rapidly moving black shadow in a certain position on the mountain road on the side of the mountain, and said in a cold voice: "Do you see the person who is running away quickly, that is the other killer who assassinated this king today, look at the manor she is going to in the distance, where the Tianyin rebel thief is hiding, Kui Weng, can you tell Xiao Wang, whose house is there?" ”

Kui Gong took a deep look at the manor under the mountain, and then frowned slightly and said: "Although the old man has been in Hangzhou for a long time, he doesn't know all the places well, this seems to be in Jiuli Mountain, and the old man has been to this place once for decades, and he hasn't been here since then. ”

"Brother Kui, do you know whose manor this is?" Li Xuan's eyes were full of doubts when he looked at Kui Heng.

"It's the manor of a relative of the Captain Jin Ji's family at the City Gate." Kui Gong looked at the manor on all sides in some surprise, and then explained slightly: "Xia Guan was once invited by Jin Ji to visit here, so he knows some inside information. ”

Captain of the City Gate.

Kui Gong, Su Yu, and Du Liu were all at the same time, and a cold burst instantly came to their hearts.

Xia Jia......

"That's fine." Li Xuan nodded expressionlessly, his eyes fell on the mountain road on one side, and he stared at the sect spirit who was fleeing quickly.
