The waning moon is like silk, leaving only a little afterglow to sprinkle on the world.

In the southeast of the state city, a river about five meters wide, like a jade belt, flows slowly around the grain depot.

A man in black suddenly sprang up from the surface of the river, and then fell silently to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, he was already clinging to the ground towards the courtyard wall of the grain depot, and rushed forward.

There was no pause, and his whole body had risen straight up against the outer wall, silently sinking into the granary in the darkness.

The guards guarding the main entrance of the granary, although they had torches in their hands, did not notice anything at all.

There are a total of 42 granaries in Wuzhou Grain Depot, of which 27 are full of grain granaries.

After the man in black entered the granary, he was familiar and silently came to the door of the first granary full of grain on the west side.

A small black ball was pulled out of his arms.

The man in black directly threw the black ball directly through the air hole on the warehouse door.

The next moment, a puff of white smoke rose directly from the small black ball that fell to the ground.

In a very short period of time, thick smoke filled the entire granary.

The man in black quickly left, and did the same in the eighteen granaries full of grain one after another.

No one knew what the smoke was coming out of the black ball.

Finally, the man in black carefully lurked in the north granary, lurking in the darkness in the corner of the first granary in the last row.

A squad of soldiers patrolled listlessly, and they didn't even notice that there was an invasion here.

The "pop" sound, like the explosion of lamp oil, did not attract anyone's attention in the slightest.

The man in black had silently entered the granary.

A fire fold was directly lit, and everything in the granary suddenly appeared in the sight of the man in black.

Hundreds of straw bags filled with grain were densely stacked throughout the granary.

The man in black did not hesitate at all, and rushed straight to a straw bag at the front.

grabbed it out, and the straw bag in front of him was directly torn.

Immediately after, a pile of yellow grain had flowed out of the straw bag.

The man in black grabbed a handful, sniffed it slightly, and his face immediately became embarrassed.

Ten years of old grain.

Bah!

Throwing the ten-year-old grain on the ground, the man in black turned around and walked to the deepest part of the granary.

Then he grabbed it hard, and a straw bag immediately broke out.

The gravel and dead grass contained in it immediately fell out.

The man in black moved extremely accurately, as if he had long known the trickiness of all this.

The man in black quickly gathered the withered grass together, and then used the fire fold in his hand to ignite the withered grass directly.

The flames burned along the dead grass to the straw bag on one side, and in a blink of an eye, the straw bag was already burning violently.

The man in black breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the flames were getting bigger and bigger, the man in black immediately turned around and opened the door of the granary and went out, he still had several granaries to ......

The flames shone brightly, and the man in black stopped.

Because in front of him, Li Xuan, Qiu Zhenmu, Li Zhu, and fourteen red-clothed and gold-armored Qianniuwei were all looking straight at him.

Especially Qianniuwei, everyone was holding a crossbow in their hands, and the cold crossbow arrows were aimed at him.

Suddenly, the man in black frowned.

He looked at Li Xuan and said in a somewhat dry voice, "This is a trap?"

"Not bad." Li Xuan's right hand pressed on the eight-sided Han sword, looked at the man in black with an unusually calm gaze, and said, "When this king first came to Wuzhou, he had already guessed that you were going to attack the grain depot."

"It's those two guys in charge of the storehouse." The man in black gritted his teeth and said the names of the two storekeepers.

"Yes." Li Xuan nodded directly, and said indifferently: "It's the two of them, the two of them haven't been doing this for a long time, and some of them are not in a good position, and this king has already exposed the cats in this just one trip."

After that, he drank and made them make up for the food that they had replaced."

"Complete?" The man in black subconsciously glanced back, as if asking: Where is it made up, it is clear that all the grain in it is stale grain.

"That's for you." Li Xuan looked at the other party, tilted his head sideways, and said, "Your Excellency shouldn't be surprised.

Those two fellows are still free every day, because they promised the king that no matter who asked, they would not tell the truth about the grain depot, and even if anyone asked, they would report each other's names and identities to the king."

"Me too?" The man in black looked at Li Xuan in disbelief.

Li Xuan didn't answer the question of the man in black directly, but looked at everything around him, and said softly, "Here, it was originally prepared for Fang Yunxiu and Elder He, but I didn't expect that Your Excellency came in the end, and it was not a loss."

"Fang Yunxiu, Elder He, they didn't come, just because they had already been killed by you." The man in black looked at Li Xuan in disbelief, shook his head, and said word by word, "Who would have thought that you would still be thinking about this."

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth showed a slight sneer, and said, "Your purpose from the very beginning is to take the state city, take the state city, connect Lanxi, connect Dongyang, and then go straight to Hangyue, but unfortunately, this step was strangled to death by this king."

There was a sharp coldness in the eyes of the man in black, and the plan of the Tianyin Sect was actually seen through like this.

Li Xuan shook his head and chuckled, "If you are a little slower and steady, maybe this king will have even more headaches."

"Steady and steady, maybe that's what you like." The man in black looked at Li Xuan, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

If they do, they would be stupid.

Time is not on their side, and the so-called steady and steady will only allow the imperial court to gather more troops.

Even if there were no soldiers from Yangzhou going south, Wuzhou could easily gather troops and block them in Wuzhou.

After taking Meiling Pass, they opened up the road to Wuzhou at most, and took Lanxi and Longyou counties.

But once the state city is taken, then the remaining seven counties are under their control.

They can still see which is more important.

"Actually, if you hadn't come to Wuzhou, I would have taught in the state city, there were countless sect members in it, the city gate, the watchtower, the state office, and even the family had people from my sect, as long as the army arrived, it would be able to take the entire state city immediately, and the government would not have the power to resist at all."

The black-clothed man's fists couldn't help but clench, and his eyes almost burst into flames when he looked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan smiled faintly, nodded slightly, and said, "That's true, this king has seen through this from the beginning, all the way from Luoyang to Wuzhou, he has been thinking about it day and night, and finally let this king see through the biggest weakness of the Tianyin Sect?"

"Biggest weakness?" The man in black was stunned.

Everyone else present was stunned.

The incredulous gaze couldn't help but fall on Li Xuan.

The Heavenly Yin Sect even has the biggest weakness?

"Man!" Li Xuan sighed lightly and said in a low voice, "Your biggest problem is people!"

"I thought you were going to talk about food." The man in black was slightly stunned, slowly lowered his two hands, and then leaned forward slightly, and said with puzzled eyes, "Why people?"

"With the land of one state, against the three hundred states in the world, except for your queen, I'm afraid no one can do it." Li Xuan lightly said his opinion on the biggest weakness of the Tianyin Sect,

The man in black vaguely understood.

He looked at Li Xuan in disbelief and said, "Are you saying that there are too many Muzhou people among us?"

"Isn't it?" Li Xuan looked at the man in black indifferently, and said calmly with his eyes: "Fang Yunxiu, Xu Lu, which one is not from Muzhou, the pious disciple of the Heavenly Yin Goddess in the city, and which one is not from Muzhou. Just grasp this and you will be able to hit your vital point at once.

That is, the current state assassins are not vicious enough, otherwise, they only need to lock up all the Muzhou immigrants in each city, that

What else are you doing?"

The soldiers of the Tianyin Sect who left Wuzhou were only 3,000 in the final analysis.

It is strange that it is scattered in various states and counties, which can play a role.

What they really rely on is the immigrant believers in the various cities.

This is also the reason why Li Xuan wants to give Du Bixing the first credit.

As long as the remnants of the Tianyin Sect in Wuzhou City are strangled, then the so-called uprising of the Tianyin Sect will not be able to make big waves.

"We also have quite a few local congregationals." The man in black clenched his fists tightly.

"Are you talking about those Tianyin Sect members who are hiding in the state and county governments?"

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth showed a slight sneer, and then said softly: "That is, the time for this king to come to Wuzhou is still short, otherwise give this king a month, believe it or not, this king doesn't need to kill those local soldiers in Wuzhou at all, and they can all abandon the belief of the Tianyin Sect."

Those who died under Li Xuan with Fang Yunxiu were all local soldiers in Wuzhou.

The man in black smiled reluctantly, then nodded, and said, "Indeed, this seat admits that there are not many people in the world who are stronger than the King of Nanchang when it comes to buying people's hearts."

The things that Li Xuan did when he came to Wuzhou was, in the final analysis, nothing more than weakening the stereotypes and bad habits of some evil officials in the state and county yamen.

These benefits that could not fall into the court were deprived from the hands of the officials, and then put back into the hands of the people, and the people were naturally grateful.

The others sent people to help the people harvest the grain, and it was all a small thing.

The people at the bottom can get benefits, and those soldiers at the bottom will naturally not be too difficult.

With money, there won't be many people who sincerely rebel with the Tianyin Sect.

As for those greedy officials, at this time, I am afraid that they can only stop for the time being

After all, in the context of the Tianyin Sect uprising, there will never be too many people who dare to provoke the authority of the royal family and be killed as an example

"As for Liu Ji, Your Excellency, which of you locals is not inextricably linked to Muzhou."

Liu Ji's deceased wife is from Muzhou, and the man in black in front of him ......

"Do you know who I am?" The man in black stared at Li Xuan, Li Xuan's words just now revealed too much information.

"I don't want to know who you are." Li Xuan looked at him and raised his right hand.

His gaze still passed over the man in black, and the flames that fell directly behind the man in black still burned to the granary at the door, and his eyes said coldly: "Tang Lu, the one who set fire to the granary will be hanged, and his family will sit together...... It's good that you're dead, and this king doesn't want to sit with your family."

"You still know who I am." The face of the man in black was gloomy for a while.

"Shoot the arrows!" Li Xuan's right hand was fiercely under his command, and the next moment, countless crossbow arrows were already shooting towards the man in black at the same time.

At this moment, a brilliant sword light suddenly rose.

In mid-air, a "dingding" sound was heard, and countless crossbow arrows were fired, all of which were cut into two in an instant.

The sword light fell, and the man in black was just about to say something.

At this time, I saw Li Xuan wave his hand again, and on the wall behind him, more Qianniuwei immediately jumped out.

Li Xuan swung it heavily in his hand, and the next moment, more crossbow arrows shot towards the man in black again.

"Dingding...... Ding Ding ...... Ding ......"

The long knife kept slashing the crossbow arrows, but suddenly, the long knife stopped violently, but then swung it again like a horse.

The rain of arrows was fierce.

The sword light fell, and the man in black standing in place was re-revealed.

Only this time, his left shoulder has been fiercely inserted with several crossbow arrows,

At this time, the Qianniu guards around Li Xuan had already loaded their crossbows again.

At this moment, the man in black had already ripped off the face towel on his face.

He blew himself up.
