At the foot of Jinhua Mountain, a black-framed carriage slowly drove towards the mountain under the escort of more than a dozen red-clothed gold-armored thousand cow guards.

Li Xuan looked up through the curtain of the car, and saw that the mountains were verdant, the rocks were high and the forests were dense, and the peaks were patchy, and the white clouds were swirling.

At a very high point, a majestic Taoist temple stands on the top of the peak.

"Akamatsu Temple!"

Li Xuan turned his head, looked at the other person sitting in the carriage, and said lightly: "Zhang joined the army, this king really never thought that Wang Tingshi would actually recuperate in Jinhua Mountain, it is difficult for this king to worry about the safety of Wang Tingshi, it turns out that everything is worrying about this king."

When he was in the state office, Zhang Yi once said that Wang Fanglan was recuperating in the official village on the bank of the Wujiang River in the western suburbs outside the city, but when he really went out of the city, he told Li Xuan that Wang Fanglan was actually recuperating in the Chisong Temple of Jinhua Mountain in the north of the city.

"There is no way for Lord Thorn Shi to arrange it like this, the state city is noisy, it is rare to recuperate, and the people come and go, it is inevitable that they will be taken advantage of by people with intentions, so they can only leave the state city and go out, and after leaving the state city, there are only two places where they can safely recuperate, one is the Stone Buddha Temple in the east of the city, and the other is the Red Pine Temple here."

Zhang Yi's face was a little ashamed and said, "If we can find out the loopholes in the city one day earlier, I'm afraid I can't help but be so rampant with the bandits of the Tianyin Sect."

Although Zhang Yi was not the last to know about last night's events, it was all after the dust settled.

After seeing Li Xuan, Li Xuan only explained the reason slightly, and Zhang Yi was very interested and stopped asking.

As for what he thought in his heart, Li Xuan didn't know.

The real reason why Wuzhou has repeatedly arrested the Tianyin Sect bandits is that the real reason why they have always worked in vain is that the soldiers in Wuzhou are full of too many Tianyin Sect disciples.

They may not have been directly involved in the assassination, but after the assassination, they must have opened up to the assassins and allowed them to escape.

Such a thing, among the high-level officials of Wuzhou Prefecture, there will inevitably be people to cover for it.

Sima Qinming, as well as Zhang Yi, who joined the army, did not find anything strange in it before Li Xuan arrived in Wuzhou.

Either they're stupid, or some of them have already found out and are doing nothing, or even covering them up.

What his heart is is clearly visible.

After Li Xuan arrived in Wuzhou, he did not hesitate at all.

At the first hand, he firmly eliminated all the Tianyin cultists from the Wuzhou conscription.

After mastering the military power and the city defense, Li Xuan can be regarded as truly controlling the entire Wuzhou.

At night, they can sleep soundly.

"The prince said yesterday that he would first check the archives of each Cao today, and then visit Wang Tingshi, and so many things happened last night, and he also needs to deal with the follow-up, so it will not seem a little inappropriate to leave all the people in the state government and come to visit Wang Tingshi directly." Zhang Yi looked at Li Xuan with some uneasiness.

Li Xuan obviously trapped all the people in the state government in the state city in disguise, but he took this opportunity to visit Wang Fanglan.

In this, people's hearts have repeatedly shaken, and ordinary people really can't react.

"Actually, what I did last night is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go before the real stability of Wuzhou. Nowadays, if you want to achieve your goals quickly, it is inevitable to use some small means that ordinary people can't think of." Li Xuan's eyes fell on Zhang Yi as if he was nothing, and then sighed and said, "The most important thing is that the summer harvest is about to begin, and there is not much time left for me to wait."

"yes, not much." Zhang Yi couldn't help but nod in agreement, his brows furrowed fiercely, and the melancholy on his face was clearly visible.

Everyone understands that the Tianyin Sect will inevitably be after the summer harvest.

They are waiting for the government to collect the summer grain into the treasury, and then take the whole of Wuzhou in one fell swoop.

In this way, everything the government has done during this period has become making wedding clothes for them.

Li Xuan's eyes flashed a hint of scrutiny, the fingers of his right hand lightly touched his knee, and he said calmly, "Come step by step, first."

Completely control the entire state city, only in this way, when the Tianyin Sect really makes a comeback, we can rely on the state city to resist, at least it is what Cui Tingshi did back then, stick to and wait for help, waiting for Yangzhou to come to help, and at that time, the Tianyin thief's plot will definitely be defeated."

In fact, there is a great advantage to the Tianyin Sect uprising today, that is, the mentality of officers and soldiers in various places is completely different from that of the past.

In that year, when the Tianyin Sect started up, the vast majority of officials in Wuzhou City were terrified and afraid, and most of the Tianyin Sect soldiers were in favor of Kaicheng surrender.

Even Cui Yixuan, the assassin of Wuzhou, couldn't help but hesitate a little, but later firmly supported it.

However, now, not to mention those big families, even those officials in the government, there are a few people who are really optimistic about the Tianyin Sect.

It failed in such a big way back then, let alone today.

Now that the imperial court has made preparations for the Tianyin Sect uprising in all aspects, once they make a rash move, then what awaits them will definitely be a thunderous blow from the imperial court.

"Actually, in the final analysis, we still don't have enough troops!" Li Xuan tapped the fingers of his right hand on his knee, and said thoughtfully: "In the entire Yuezhou, since the Tianyin Sect uprising back then, there is still only one force in the Zhichong Mansion.

"Indeed." Zhang Yi nodded approvingly, and said with a wry smile: "Yuezhou, Ancient Huiji, Hangzhou, Ancient Qiantang, Wu Yue, half of the prosperous, in the nearby states, the DPRK and China collect a large amount of local taxes every year, but it is really incomprehensible to restrain Wu Yue's troops."

"There is also Suzhou, the ancient Wuzhong, and there are also not many troops stationed." Li Xuan looked at the verdant ancient trees outside the car window, shook his head, and said, "Not to mention anything else, even if half of the troops of Yangzhou Zhichong Mansion are placed in Suzhou, the situation we are waiting for will not be so difficult."

"Indeed!" Zhang Yi nodded with a sigh, and then smiled a little sadly: "Such a thing, how can we talk about it."

Li Xuan's eyebrows raised slightly, and he was surprised in his heart, Zhang Yi's words revealed too much meaning intentionally or unintentionally.

However, at this moment, Li Xuan did not pick up, and his eyes immediately turned to the direction of Suzhou.

The imperial court was there, but there were not many troops, but there was a Cao King Li Ming who also served as the assassin of Suzhou, and in Yuezhou, although Li Zhen, the king of Yue, served in other states, the Yue Wangfu was in Yuezhou.

Now, the emperor and the queen of heaven have sent him, the king of Nanchang County, to Wuzhou, and the three princes are in a powerful posture, who dares to say that the imperial court does not attach importance to Wu Yue.

It's just that what the imperial court really values is not the Tianyin Sect, but the sixteenth family of Wu Yue.

Even if the Tianyin Sect is rebellious, with only 3,000 people, how much can it make waves in the entire Wuyue land.

What can really threaten Wu Yue's foundation is the sixteenth family of Wu Yue.

In the previous rebellions, the sixteenth family secretly contributed to the troubles.

Among them is Wuzhong Zhang, at least some of Zhang's people.

Unconsciously, the Taoist temple in front of him had arrived, the carriage stopped, and Li Xuan took the lead in getting off the car.

The Taoist who welcomed guests in the Taoist temple did not seem to expect the arrival of distinguished guests today, and hurriedly stepped forward to check the head: "The honorable guests are immeasurable, I don't know...... It turned out to be Zhang joining the army."

Li Xuan glanced sideways at Zhang Yi, then looked back at the Taoist who greeted the guest, and saluted with both hands: "The Taoist is immeasurable!"

Zhang Yi followed and saluted, then looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Lord Wang, should I go to see the Lord first, or should I go to see Lord Thorn Shi first." z.br>

"Let's go see Lord Assassin Shi first," Li Xuan didn't hesitate at all, and immediately made a decision.

He came here because he was worried about the long nights and dreams, and how he would delay again.

Zhang Yi looked at the Taoist who greeted the guest, nodded, and said, "Trouble the Taoist to lead the way."

"Honored guest, please follow the trail!" The greeting Taoist led the way in front, while Li Xuan and Zhang Yi were a few steps behind, followed by a group of Qianniuwei.

Walking in the deep ancient view, Li Xuan suddenly looked at Zhang Yi and asked, "By the way, joining the army, what is the injury of Wang Tingshi?"

Li Xuan's words were very casual, but his eyes were fixed on Zhang Yi.

Before Li Xuan left Luoyang, the imperial court did not have a history of assassination of the new faction of Wuzhou, nor did it have a long history of the new faction of Wuzhou.

Especially when the imperial court knew that although the body of the assassin king Fang Yan was seriously injured, it had recovered enough to be able to deal with the state capital, and the court had already decided not to send any additional manpower to Wuzhou.

It's just that Li Xuan, a young king of the dynasty, was sent here.

I don't know where the emperor and the queen of heaven have such great trust in Wang Fanglan's ability.

Li Xuan and Qiu Shenqi were already the last reinforcements sent by the emperor and the queen of heaven, and even the center, to the southeastern states.

Before that, they had more or less arranged some shadows, but it was difficult to say how much of a role they could play.

In the entire Wuzhou, for this situation, it is Wang Fanglu who is really familiar.

It's good to have him, but without him, everything will be in trouble.

"Of course Lord Thorn is sober." Zhang Yi's face showed a very relieved smile.

However, on the other side of him, Li Xuan's face completely sank in an instant.

"Just sober, nothing else?" Li Xuan stared at Zhang Yi deadly, and then asked the second question: "So what about eating and drinking, talking, and even dealing with official documents, at this critical moment, if you are just sober, it is far from enough."

Zhang Yi's face changed slightly, he didn't expect that his words had already leaked out.

Zhang Yi's pace slowed down, and he said with a slightly wry smile on his face: "Lord Thorn Shi's diet is naturally not a problem, and his mouth is completely sound, but when he reads the official document, he has a headache inexplicably, and he needs someone to read the official document next to him...... As for safety, the prince should also understand that in today's Chisong Temple, no one dares to do it casually."

Li Xuan glanced at Zhang Yi deeply, and then changed the topic: "Indeed, in the Chisongguan Realm, where can those people of the Tianyin Sect dare to come easily, as long as they can arrive for a moment and a half, reinforcements can arrive immediately, and the protectors of the Dao Gate are not so easy to mess with."

"The red pine concept has a long heritage, and the fundamental foundation still comes from the red pine nut immortal in ancient times." Zhang Yi smiled, glanced at the greeting Taoist in front of him, and then said in a low voice: "In ancient times, a long time ago, what the specific truth is, it has long been impossible to test, but now, it is an indisputable fact that the magic power of the Guan Lord Huang Zhenren is strong, and all the talents under him are also skilled, and Wang Tingshi cultivates here, so everyone can rest assured."

Li Xuan nodded and calmly agreed, "Although the Tianyin Sect already has the strength to rebel, it is easy to be afraid that it is not willing to easily provoke the Dao Buddhas."

The Red Pine Temple is not well-known in the outside world, and even except for some people who are quite familiar with Taoist mythology, ordinary people don't even know who the red pine nut is, let alone his inheritance.

Chi Songzi, a native of Shennong, was a rain master, he took water jade, taught it to Shennong, and was able to barbecue in the fire.

Red pine nuts often go to the stone room left by the Queen Mother of the West on Kunlun Mountain to rest, and go up and down freely with the wind and rain.

Emperor Yan's youngest daughter, Jingwei, once followed him, and also became an immortal and flew away.

Zhang Yi nodded in agreement, and then said: "Huang Chuping, a real person from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was introduced to the stone cave of Jinhua Mountain to practice when he was a child, and he worked hard for forty years. Later, he traveled all over the world, and Kuang Shi Jimin was well-known in the southeast. The prince wants to hold a water and land sacrifice to play, and if he can invite Huang Zhenren to come, it will definitely shock Wuzhou."

Li Xuan nodded silently, the sacrificial ceremony before the summer harvest was the most important part of his plan.

Buddhism and Taoism must be invited, so that the Tianyin Sect can be shaken in terms of fundamental beliefs.

In that year, Huang Chuping set up a red pine temple in Jinhua Mountain, respected red pine nuts and An Qisheng as the ancestors, and worshiped the three Qings.

Today's Chisong Guan Guan is a descendant of the Huang family, and Li Xuan has never seen his cultivation, so he dare not say anything.

However, the name of its Taoism has already spread throughout Wuzhou, and it is carried out together with the ancient Buddhist temple in Wuzhou.

Li Xuan's Taoist inheritance is even more clear about the strength of Taoism.

He nodded and agreed, "Indeed, Wang Tingshi is cultivating here, how dare the Tianyin Sect easily come to the door to disturb him."

Although the goddess of Tianyin is a family belief of the Tianyin Sect, it is actually a pseudo-Taoist inheritance.

In the eyes of many believers, the Tianyin Goddess is just a relatively effective goddess of Taoism.

Once he and Chi Songguan, a belief that has been passed down in Wuzhou for hundreds of years, will be the one who will suffer.

"Joining the army, where do you think the killers of the Tianyin Sect are hiding now?" After a slight pause, Li Xuan followed up and asked, "You can guess as much as you want, guess as you like, you can guess any way."

"If you let the officials say it." Zhang Yi thought for a moment, and then said: "If you let the lower officials say it, they must be lurking around a certain *** in the Wuzhou Prefecture, so that they can wait for the opportunity to gain enough useful confidence, such as ......."

Zhang Yi raised his head fiercely and looked at Li Xuan in disbelief, but pointed his finger at himself: "Just like a lower official?"
