Chapter 338: Trap Trap, Dangerous Sea of Fire
The brightly lit mansion has an eerie dead silence.
Li Xuan stood on the street, his hand pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his face became solemn unconsciously.
The night breeze swept across the long street, bringing with it the sound of whispers.
It has been not a short time for Li Xuan to lead people into Pingshunfang, but the previous battle was not earth-shattering, but the blatant killing intent can be felt by everyone in the entire Pingshunfang.
Now they are looking at Li Xuan through the crack in the door one by one, looking at the corpses on the street, and watching what they do with the old mansion of the Yang family.
Li Xuan looked at Qian Zhe with a respectful face, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
In Li Xuan's view, in this case, the Yang clan was infiltrated by the Tianyin Sect, which was somewhat unwarranted.
It is even very likely that someone secretly conspired and calculated.
So from the very beginning, Li Xuan had no intention of exterminating the Yang clan.
For such a thin family, it is not the best choice to kill them all, and finding another way may be able to use them for their own purposes to a greater extent.
As for the land, the Yang family's land in Wuzhou is not the largest, and attacking them is easy to arouse the vigilance of a larger target......
Li Xuan retracted his gaze at Qian Zhe, turned around and beckoned, calling Qiu Zhenmu, Xu Jian, and Yan Tao to the front, and then said in a solemn tone: "Before, the soldiers of the Tianyin Sect hid in the courtyard behind them, ready to carry out a surprise attack on us from behind, however, if this raid wants to achieve the maximum effect, it is best when we are trapped......
"Does the prince mean that there is an ambush in this old mansion?" Yan Tao was the first to react.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, then thought about it and said, "Right now, this mansion is too quiet, and the people in the house before, unless they themselves are members of the Tianyin Sect, are now either drugged or have suffered misfortune."
The Yang family has a strict inheritance, and it is impossible to have much entanglement with the Tianyin Sect, Fang Yunxiu can take here, except for the hostages, I am afraid it is medicine.
There were not many people in the Tianyin Sect in Wuzhou Prefecture, and Li Xuan was a little unclear about the reason before, but after some memory, Li Xuan immediately understood that Fang Yunxiu had placed the main force in Meiling Pass.
Although Meiling Pass is now in the hands of the imperial court, the Tianyin Sect no longer knows how many spies have been placed in it.
As for Wuzhou Prefecture, if it weren't for Li Xuan's Tianyin Sect spies who directly pulled out the city gate guards and watchtower guards, that is, those who died under Li Xuan's hands just now, then once the Tianyin Sect attacked the city, the entire city would fall in an instant.
After all, it hasn't been long since the Tianyin Sect uprising.
However, no one could have imagined that Li Xuan would directly clean up all the Tianyin Sect disciples under the command of Wuzhou Bing Cao in a short period of time.
He has even begun to use various means to disintegrate and divide the Tianyin cultists who are all over the city.
Flip the tables directly.
Once Li Xuan succeeds, then the influence of the Tianyin Sect in the entire state city will be completely eliminated in a very short period of time.
If this method proved to be effective, then Li Xuan quickly extended it to the entire Wuzhou.
That day, the layout of the Yin Sect in the entire Wuzhou would be greatly affected.
It was precisely because he saw Li Xuan's powerful threat now that Fang Yunxiu would do it directly regardless of everything.
But it's a pity that the moment Ye Wanwan appeared in front of Li Xuan, Fang Yunxiu's purpose was completely exposed.
The house on the opposite side is just a backhand, and the way they really want to trap Li Xuan directly is in the old mansion in front of them.
"In this way, it is still the previous practice, Xu joins the army, let your people go directly to the wall, and then use torches to illuminate every corner of the entire courtyard, this king must see it clearly, so that he can target it." Li Xuan was very cautious.
There is no shortage of experts in the Tianyin Sect, and Fang Yunxiu dares to stay in Wuzhou alone, so he must have some holdings.
What is the situation in this old Yang family house now, is it full of various mechanisms, or is it already full of poison......
"The Lower Officials obey the order." Xu Jian's heart froze, and without the slightest hesitation, he stood up
Immediately turned around, took his servants, directly found the ladder, and then quickly climbed to the top of the wall.
The courtyard of the old house of the Yang family, the courtyard wall is twice as high as the previous house, and there is no ladder, so it is really difficult to get on.
Under the firelight, Li Xuan quickly turned to look at Yan Tao, and said with a solemn face, "Captain Yan, prepare to rush the door."
"Whoa!" Yan Tao's expression immediately perked, arched his hand, and then immediately turned around and walked towards his own team.
The black lacquered gate of the closed courtyard of the Yang's old mansion is also extremely strong, and it is not something that can be opened at will.
This is very different from the previous one, so it is likely that a ladder and a log will be struck.
This is already somewhat similar to the tactics of the military.
With a "whew", several torches were thrown into the courtyard in succession. z.br>
Immediately, the entire courtyard was directly illuminated.
As soon as Xu Jian on the wall saw it clearly, he immediately couldn't help but shout, "Stop, stop, all the torches are stopped."
But even so, a torch was thrown down.
The flames burned brightly, burning directly towards a hemp rope on one side.
Fortunately, the torch was not close to the hemp rope, so the hemp rope was not ignited directly.
Seeing this scene, Xu Jian's hanging heart finally let go.
At this time, more people also saw the scene in the courtyard clearly.
Suddenly, I saw two hemp ropes that were not very thick, pulled out from under the door of the courtyard gate, and then pulled straight to the back garden.
From a distance, you can see that in the back garden, there are more than a dozen figures tied to the center of the backyard.
At the feet of these people and around them, all kinds of firewood and velvet were placed.
On a certain pyre in front of him, a huge black stone was placed, and above him, a small black flint was hung, which was connected to the hemp rope behind it.
Once the hemp rope is broken and the flint falls, it will directly hit the black stone.
Whenever there is even the slightest spark, the velvet and firewood around it will be ignited immediately.
The dozen or so figures in the middle will immediately fall into the sea of fire.
Seeing this scene, Xu Jian was startled, and after stopping the movements of his subordinates, he immediately jumped off the wall and ran to Li Xuan to report the details of the situation in the courtyard to him.
"This is going to kill people!"
Li Xuan immediately understood Fang Yunxiu's wishful thinking, and his heart couldn't help but feel a pang.
If they had rushed into the Yang Mansion before, then as long as they pushed open the courtyard door, the mechanism in the courtyard would be activated and the fire would ignite.
This entire Yang clan, even if they don't die under the flames, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a good end.
Now the Yang family's crime of rebellion is far from being confirmed.
A big family like them, even if they don't mention the children of the Yang family themselves in the court, even their in-laws, they are all big families.
At that time, the people of the Yang clan died directly in the flames, and even all the evidence of their collusion with the Tianyin Sect would be burned in flames.
In this case, Li Xuan, who is in charge of all this, will immediately become the target of public criticism.
Not to mention his prestige in Wuzhou, he even had to shift his attention to other places, and he could no longer concentrate on the Tianyin Sect.
If everything succeeds, Fang Yunxiu doesn't even have to make a move, and Li Xuan himself will fall into endless trouble.
Maybe this was Fang Yunxiu's original plan, he only changed his mind later and wanted to attack Li Xuan immediately.
But even so, Fang Yunxiu still chose to take care of it.
In this way, even if there is a case that Fang Yunxiu's plan deviates, even if Li Xuan can survive by luck, he will face endless trouble.
In this case, no matter what kind of layout Fang Yunxiu is, it is a steady win.
Li Xuan turned his head, looked at Qian Zhe on the side, shook his head, and said with hatred on his face: "Brother Qian, you see how vicious the methods of this Tianyin Sect are, people's hearts are really calculating."
"What the prince said is very true." Qian Zhe said, and quickly lowered his head.
I can't help but slander in my heart, no matter how proficient you are in calculations, you will not die in the hands of your king of Nanchang in the end.
Your King of Nanchang is probably not bad at all in terms of people's calculations, and may even be stronger.
Not to mention anything else, Qian Zhe is now following Li Xuan's side, and he feels uneasy for some reason.
There are always people secretly calculating him, but now, the only one who will keep calculating him is probably the king of Nanchang in front of him.
Qian Zhe didn't expect to leave before, but he was stopped by Li Xuan's words.
Qian Zhe lowered his head, his eyes swept to the back, and he saw a pair of eyes peeking out of the carriage, staring at him from afar.
Teng Yu.
Teng Yu's eyes revealed a suspicion, a suspicion.
No one knows what he is suspicious, no one knows what he is suspicious.
Qian Zhe wanted to go up and explain, but he didn't know how to say it.
Because he and Li Xuan stood in front of the Yang family's ancestral mansion like this, but they didn't say two or three words in total, and they didn't talk much at all.
He was calculated.
Li Xuan's face swept over Qian Zhe's face with an indifferent expression, then looked at Qiu Zhenmu and said, "Brother Qiu, you can take your brothers up and see if there is any way to remove this kind of thing and rescue people."
"Subordinates obey orders." Qiu Zhenmu did not hesitate at all, and waved behind him, and a small team of Qianniuwei had already followed and rushed to the wall.
Li Xuan turned his head to look at Qian Zhe, and his face suddenly became gentle: "Brother Qian doesn't know, in the court, there are many functions of the Qianniuwei Institute, and similar organs are ingenious, I'm afraid that there are not a few more suitable ones in the entire Wuzhou than them."
"Listen to the prince below." Qian Zhe didn't dare to defend at all, and his face was even more respectful.
Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then asked Qian Zhe, "Brother Qian should have been to the Yue Wang's Mansion, if this king's memory is correct, there should also be a team of Qianniu Wei in the Yue Wang's Mansion, and the right Qianniu Guard."
"I've seen it a few times, but I'm not familiar with it." The corners of Qian Zhe's mouth twitched slightly, and he arched his hand at Li Xuan, but his head was pressed very low.
The functions of the right Qianniu Wei include but are not limited to monitoring the local vassal kings, princes, and even assassin county commanders.
At the same time, it is also responsible for monitoring the wealthy families in various places, as well as the rebel forces.
This kind of function has been equated with the Jinyi Guard of later generations.
Jinyiwei, formerly known as the Gongwei Division established by Zhu Yuanzhang, was later renamed the Pro-Army Governor's Mansion, which governed the Yiluan Division and was in charge of the emperor's honor guard and guards.
Qianniu Guard, who is in charge of the attendants of the sword guards and the worshippers of the temple.
Qian Zhe has a ghost in his heart, so he is naturally afraid of Qianniuwei, where can he dare to approach easily.
"Speaking of which, when I was in Luoyang, there was a big thing, that is, the king of Huainan County was sent to Zhenzhou because of the loss of honor in front of the palace, the place is high and far away, and the miasma is deep, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will die a whimper, which is really miserable." Li Xuan looked at Qian Zhe with a smile.
The corners of Qian Zhe's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, the reason why the current Qian family can act in Wuzhou without fear is because of the support of the Yue Wangfu behind it.
If something happens to King Yue in the back, then their entire Qian family, the countless wealth accumulated over the years, will immediately fall into the hands of others.
Qian Zhe understood the warning in Li Xuan's voice, especially when he thought of Li Xuan's previous inquiry about the source of the bow and crossbow and shield, Qian Zhe immediately understood that Li Xuan was beating him hard.
As for the purpose of so many things, I am afraid it is related to the land.
Among the Qian family, some people fell out of the way.
