At three o'clock, the dusk drum sounded, and travel was prohibited.

Tonight's curfew is half an hour earlier than usual.

Under the dark night, Li Xuan stood under the corner of the city wall, looking at the four-story central watchtower opposite, with a cold face.

More than a dozen soldiers patrolled back and forth under the lights.

Under the sharp gaze, Li Xuan saw the godless look in the eyes of those servants at a glance.

These people, here, are all pretending.

Li Xuan stood under the watchtower, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He hadn't been here for an unknown amount of time, but the people upstairs didn't notice his existence at all.

"Lord Wang!" A low, meager voice sounded on the side.

Li Xuan turned his head sideways, and a middle-aged official wearing a light green official robe with a solemn face stood silently beside Li Xuan.

Li Xuan subconsciously raised his head and looked at the watchtower above, but there was still nothing to check above.

Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head, there is such a person, and he still wants to search the whole city, and it is strange that he can find assassins.

Turning around, Li Xuan looked at the middle-aged official on the side, and his face became solemn: "Xu Sijiao, have you received the letter from Hangzhou Kui Sijiao?"

Xu Jian, Wuzhou Prison.

Kui Heng, Hangzhou Prison.

The two may have some unknown connections in secret because of their same jobs.

Xu Jian arched his hand at Li Xuan seriously, and said in a deep voice, "I received it, and the lower official is willing to act on the orders of the prince."

"Xu Sijiao, do you know what is most dissatisfied with this king after he came to Wuzhou?" Li Xuan's face had completely turned cold.

"If the lower official's guess is correct, the most dissatisfied with the prince should be the defense of this city." Xu Jian turned sideways slightly, looking at the watchtower in the middle of the street in the distance, his expression was extremely complicated.

Li Xuan nodded coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "It's good that you understand, although Yan joins the army and is bold and strong, but in the eyes of this king, this soldier Cao joined the army, he was not qualified, and soon after, the battle of Wuzhou was inevitable, this king needs a soldier who can command the battle on the battlefield, and at the same time can join the army in a steady defense of the city, Xu Sijiao, such a requirement, can you do it?"

"The lower officials will live up to the expectations of the prince." Xu Jian stood up straight, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

"You came down from the battlefield in the Western Regions, how cruel the war is, you know better than this king, if this time, you can make a contribution, this king will definitely recommend you in front of the saints." Speaking of this, Li Xuan suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly: "But Xu Sijiao doesn't have much hope, this king doesn't know how much weight his recommendation in front of the saint can have, at most it can only be regarded as letting the saint know about your existence."

What Li Xuan said was an understatement, but Xu Jian knew how heavy such a weight was.

I don't know how many officials there are in the entire Tang Dynasty, and there are only a few people who can really enter the ears of the emperor.

Although Li Xuan only mentioned the last sentence, this sentence alone was enough for the saint to take a look at his merits.

As long as Xu Jian did well enough and his exploits were enough to attract the attention of the emperor, then he would be able to soar immediately. z.br>

Isn't this an opportunity that I've been missing?

Xu Jian gritted his teeth and bowed solemnly to Li Xuan: "Don't worry, the lower officials will definitely be full of liver and brains, and they will not give up."

"In that case, let's do it." As soon as Li Xuan waved his hand, Xu Jian immediately got up, and then beckoned to the back.

The next moment, a team of jailers wearing black and blue robes, armed with long knives, walked out of the darkness and quickly approached the watchtower.

They were very fast, and their movements were not small, and this time, they finally attracted the attention of those people looking up.

In the midst of the uproar, a slightly trembling voice shouted coldly, "Who are you?"

"It's me, Xu Jian!" A voice suddenly sounded under the watchtower, followed by a tall figure, wearing a black hat, wearing a light green official robe, with a cold face, and a trace of inverted triangle in his eyes, Xu Jian appeared in the light under the watchtower.

"It turned out to be Xu Si Prison, what is the prison going to do now?" On the window on the second floor of the watchtower, a head full of flesh poked out, and when he saw Xu Jian, the fear on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant, but then, watching a jailer come out of the darkness and rush directly into the watchtower, the other party's face immediately became angry: "Xu Jian, what do you want to do, to rebel?"

"Ordered, take over the watchtower." Xu Jian pressed it on his waist, and the next moment, a black horizontal knife had been directly pulled out by him.

The sharp blade flashed with a cold light in the firelight, and Xu Jian's eyes brought a killing intent.

The jailer at the front had already rushed straight into the watchtower.

"Xu Jian, don't mess around." The head with a full face immediately retracted, and then said with some panic: "Hurry up and summon the other watchtowers, Xu Jian rebelled, and let them quickly reinforce them."

"No need!" A clear voice stepped out of the dark street corner.

Li Xuan, who was dressed in black clothes and gold armor, appeared in everyone's sight.

"This official, don't drive in Wuzhou, order Xu Jian, the prison of Wuzhou, to take over the central watchtower, you can have objections!" Li Xuan's eyes stared coldly at the window on the second floor, and there was no sound coming from inside, but suddenly, the lights flickered several times at once.

"Huh!" A crisp sneer resounded throughout the watchtower.

Li Xuan looked at the second floor, and said with a playful face: "This king has already said it, it's useless, because at this time, the other watchtowers have also been taken, Captain Gu, right, you actually directly ignored this king's order, it seems that you have a lot of opinions about this king's order not to drive in Wuzhou!" Xu Si Prison."

"The lower official is here!" Xu Jian immediately turned to Li Xuan and obeyed the order.

"Passing on the king's decree, Gu Yue, the captain of the watchtower, is cunning and plotting against him, and now he has taken down the punishment for rebellion, and the many servants on the watchtower, who are armed with swords, are accomplices, and they can be immediately killed." Li Xuan's cold voice immediately sounded throughout the watchtower.

"Bang bang bang......" As soon as Li Xuan's words fell, the sound of a large number of swords falling to the ground had already been heard.

Li Xuan looked at the window on the second floor, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and then continued to speak: "Order, the jailers in the entire watchtower, those who lie on the ground live, and those who stand die, will be executed immediately."

"Obey!" Xu Jian immediately turned around, then waved his hand vigorously and shouted, "Kill!"

At the sound of an order, in the watchtower, more than a dozen jailers had quickly rushed up to the second floor.

However, there was no sound of swords clashing from the entire watchtower, except for the sound of hurried footsteps.

In the next moment, Xu Jian's head poked out from inside: "Lord Wang, it has been taken."

"Hmm!" Li Xuan stepped into the watchtower.

The watchtower was not wide, about one zhang and five feet long, and six soldiers fell to the ground, their swords were thrown aside, their heads and faces down, and they did not dare to raise their heads.

Li Xuan walked directly past them, and then stepped on the stairs directly to the second floor.

On the second floor, four archers with quivers on their bodies were held down to death.

The longbow was tossed aside, and their arms couldn't reach it.

These people, all of whom were carefully selected archers, but under Gu Yue's leadership, they were like a bunch of waste.

Gu Yue, who was fat and full of flesh, was pressed to his knees on the floor, his face was extremely embarrassed, but he didn't dare to move.

Two long sharp knives rested across his neck, and one of the blades gently pulled a bloody mark on his neck.

Gu Yue only felt a burning pain in his neck, and when he saw Li Xuan appear in front of him, he immediately shouted loudly: "Lord Wang, the lower officials are not convinced."

"Not convinced!" Li Xuan, who was just about to continue climbing the stairs, immediately stopped and looked at Gu Yue with a surprised face: "Why are you dissatisfied?"

Gu Yue looked at Li Xuan, his body struggled slightly, but the long knife on his neck was still pressed hard, Gu Yue could only look at Li Xuan, gritted his teeth and complained: "Lord Wang, the lower official is here, so all the actions are the lower officials

According to the law, the prince, even if he is a driver in this state, he has no right to climb the watchtower after the curfew, otherwise, it will be regarded as ......."

"Regarded as complicity!" Li Xuan then finished Gu Yue's words, he chuckled, and then walked in front of Gu Yue step by step, looking at him from top to bottom, condescendingly, and said in a very relaxed voice: "The king of Yonghui Law is more familiar than you, if it is ordinary, this matter is indeed the fault of this king, and it is naturally regarded as complicity, but there is one exception, that is, to investigate and rebel."

Gu Yue was slightly stunned, Li Xuan's words, he didn't react a little.

"This king means that this king has come to you to investigate the rebellion, and you are the thief suspected of rebellion."

Li Xuan pinched Gu Yue's neck with one hand, and said coldly: "Just now, as long as you resist, your rebellion will be completely settled, you, your family, parents, and children will all be beheaded, and your uncles and brothers will also be exiled for at least three thousand miles because of this, and they will not be pardoned......

Gu Yue shuddered violently, and for a while, he felt his scalp tingle for a while.

Finally, Gu Yue lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Lord Wang, the lower officials are not plotting rebellion!"

"Do you conspire against the king, it doesn't matter, the evidence says." Li Xuan immediately walked upstairs for a moment.

The watchtower of Wuzhou City has four floors, and the four floors are all the same space, but the first three floors have the same staff, but on the fourth floor, there are only two people.

Because in the center of the fourth layer, there is a volcanic crossbow.

In the whole Wuzhou City, except for the treasury, there are only two Fuyuan crossbows in the city, one is in the north city gate, and the other is in the central watchtower.

The two servants had already been dragged down, and at this moment, on the top of the entire watchtower, there was no one else except Li Xuan.

"Decree, from now on, at the door of the watchtower, a statue of the goddess of the heavenly yin will be placed on the ground, and anyone who enters or exits must step on the statue of the goddess of the heavenly yin.

Li Xuan's voice was very cold, but Xu Jian did not hesitate at all, and immediately promised: "The lower official obeys the order."

Standing at the entrance of the watchtower, Li Xuan looked around, and the entire Wuzhou was included in his eyes in an instant.

I don't know why, Li Xuan suddenly stared at the northwest direction.
