In the dark room, the eight-sided Han sword in Li Xuan's right hand stood in front of him, and his two eyes stared straight at Chen Zhong through the blade.

The eyes are cold, indifferent and merciless.

"What should be said and what shouldn't be said is all done, why don't you leave?" Li Xuan's voice was very soft, but Chen Zhong clenched his fists at this moment.

If it weren't for their plan going wrong, he wouldn't have come to King Nanchang.

And then humiliated by this young man so and so.

At this time, Chen Zhong suddenly took a step forward, and the sound of the sword behind Li Xuan suddenly sounded.

Under the combined action of Silk and Yuan Qi, the soft sword flew up again, hovering rapidly above Li Xuan's head.

Even faster and faster, once pounced, the power will be incomparably greater.

"The old slave is indeed leaving, but before leaving, the old slave still wants to warn the county king. The Holy Queen once said that the Demon Queen would kill all the sect kings in the entire clan that could threaten her status, including the prince. After Chen Zhong finished speaking, his eyes stared at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked at Chen Zhong unexpectedly calmly, tilted his head sideways, and even frowned, and asked puzzledly: "This kind of thing, do you still need to be deliberately warned by others, every clan, since birth, should understand the cruelty of the struggle for power...... In today's court, even if there is no queen, there will be other people, no need to be surprised, right? ”

Chen Zhong's back suddenly became cold, although he was an internal servant, he had never experienced a truly cruel court bloodfight.

Who would have thought that for such a thing, Li Xuan, the king of the dynasty, would be so accustomed to it.

Li Xuan seemed to see through what Chen Zhong was thinking at a glance, and said: "This is not your fault, you, and the holy queen of you, have lived in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness for many years, and most of the people you come into contact with are incompetent and mediocre people, and you have long forgotten how cruel the struggle for power is......

This king here is a reminder, not long ago, after the death of the prince, there was another prince who died of illness, and a county king was assigned, it is estimated that it will not be long before he will die of illness. ”

Chen Zhong didn't know what he thought, his fist clenched violently, but then he let go, and a smile appeared on his face: "The king of Nanchang is really sharp, extraordinary, and the old slave has learned it...... Thinking about it this way, with the king of Nanchang in the center, I am afraid that the days of the demon queen will not be so stable. ”

As he spoke, Chen Zhong stepped back slightly, and was about to retreat into the darkness behind him.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Chen Zhong stopped violently and raised his head to look at Li Xuan: "Lord Wang, although Acacia is a secret medicine of the Tang Dynasty, it has been used since several dynasties, and the most important thing is that this poison has an antidote." ”

Li Xuan raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Zhong: "The poison with the antidote is suitable for easy use at home, and the poison without the antidote is suitable for taking out and using outside. ”

"Huh!" Chen Zhong chuckled.

In the next moment, his whole body had completely retreated into the darkness.

There was a slight knock on the window, but it only shone through a small gap, and then it fell.

Li Xuan knew that at this time, Chen Zhong had completely disappeared.

"Exquisite dice An red beans, I don't know if I am lovesick to the bones."

Li Xuan sighed softly.

Sure enough, this poison still didn't work against a big master like Chen Zhong.

Li Xuan walked to the side of the window, opened the window, and a drop of rain came in directly from the outside.

Before it could hit the ground, in an instant, the raindrops had turned into infinite rain mist, directly hitting everything in the entire room.

Li Xuan's wrist rotated slightly, and for a while, all the rain and fog in the room began to rotate rapidly.

A rain mist vortex suddenly appeared, and all the breath in the room was stirred into the rain and mist vortex in an instant, and finally condensed infinitely into Li Xuan's hands.

A little red water droplet gathered in Li Xuan's hand.

"Alright, you can come down." Li Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the roof above.

The next moment, a figure fell directly from the roof of the house and landed outside the window.

The black silk robe, the sharp long knife, and the sharp eyes are none other than Li Zhu.

"Lord Wang!" Li Zhu arched his hand at Li Xuan and said, "Is the prince okay?" ”

"It's okay, that old guy came tonight, although he was tempted, but he didn't really plan to kill this king, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to settle down a long time ago." Li Xuan raised his head, looked at the sudden wind and rain outside, frowned and said to himself: "Something is not quite right?" ”

"What's wrong?" Li Zhu stood on the side, arched his hand, and looked at Li Xuan in surprise.

"Chen Zhong is the most intimate heart around the queen, and it can be said that he is taking care of everything in the queen." Speaking of this, Li Xuan paused slightly, and then followed closely and said: "His status in the Tianyin Sect is like the status of Wang Fulai, the chief administrator of the inner court, in the palace, how can you say that such a person would suddenly appear here and suddenly come to see this king?" There's so much wrong with that. ”

Can you imagine the feeling of Wang Fulai's sudden appearance in front of the chief of the inner court?

That means that the Emperor's eyes have fallen on you at this time.

Although Li Xuan thought that he had made a little achievement, he absolutely didn't believe that Tianyin would set his eyes on him so easily.

This kind of chief of the inner court, not staying in the palace, suddenly ran out of the palace to negotiate a deal with you, this is not normal.

"Something's wrong!" Li Xuan's words were extremely determined.

There must have been something important, something urgent.

This caused Chen Zhong to leave the Tianyin Sect General Altar and appear at the foot of the mountain, and when he came to see Li Xuan, I am afraid that he still saw more opportunities.

Opportunity is only one aspect, more of a temptation.

If Li Xuan is fooling, then perhaps, the gate of Meiling Pass has been opened now.

If it is not easy to fool, he can also take the opportunity to understand Li Xuan's personality, master his way of doing things, and deeply explore his weaknesses.

Of course, it's more about preparing for something.

Something got out of hand.

"Looks like we're going to have to speed up and prepare." Li Xuan waved his hand and said to Li Zhu: "You go down and rest, that's it for tonight." ”

"Whoa!" Li Zhu slowly retreated.

The silk in his hand withdrew the soft sword and wrapped it around his waist, and Li Xuan lay on the bed with his whole clothes.

Staring at the darkness above, Li Xuan couldn't help but think about what kind of thing happened that would make Chen Zhong's and other characters suddenly appear in front of Li Xuan.

Why, what exactly happened?

This must be a very unfavorable thing for the Tianyin Sect, so Chen Zhong will come forward to make up for it, and he is involved at a higher level.

So is it something inside the Tianyin Sect, or is it something outside the Tianyin Sect?

There's always something churning in my head.

Li Xuan was never able to sleep peacefully, and he could only close his eyes and recuperate.

Suddenly, Li Xuan's eyes lit up.

Two words suddenly appeared in his mind.

Immediately, Li Xuan smiled.

I'm afraid I have to make good use of this matter.

……

A team of soldiers quickly retreated from the north, and Yan Tao, who was standing at the gate of the city, immediately couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then said to Li Xuan: "Back to the prince, all the soldiers hunted in the north have all returned. ”

Li Xuan stood outside the city gate, and the light of the dusk and setting sun fell on his body, pulling it extraordinarily long.

"The main forces of the Tianyin Sect have already gathered, and staying outside any longer will only be in vain, now we just need to wait." Li Xuan turned around, looked at Qi Guang who was waiting on the side, waved his hand, and said, "Let's do it!" ”

"Whoa!" Qi Guang bowed his hand to Li Xuan, and then immediately led a team of subordinates to carry the many blue striped stones placed on one side to the city gate.

"The gates are all sealed, and a wooden wedge is inserted in the middle, so that no one can shake it."

Li Xuan stood at the gate of the city, pressed the wooden stake on his side with one hand, and said, "After that, use these wooden stakes to top it to strengthen a layer of defense." ”

"Lord Wang, wouldn't this be too cautious!" Yan Tao looked at Li Xuan with some surprise.

"Yan joined the army, you reported last yesterday, how many reinforcements from the Tianyin Sect came?" Li Xuan looked sideways at Yan Tao.

"Back to the prince, more than 2,000 people." Yan Tao immediately surrendered.

Although he was not very close yesterday, the approximate number could still be judged from a distance.

"Now there are about 2,500 enemy troops, and then it is not excluded that reinforcements may come at any time in the future, this king roughly estimates 3,000 people, not too much." With a single sentence, Li Xuan raised the number of Tianyin Sect disciples they needed to face this time to three thousand.

"Not excessive." Yan Tao hurriedly gave up his hand, and his expression became embarrassed for a moment.

More than 2,000 people and 3,000 people are completely different concepts.

The pressure on him suddenly became much heavier.

Li Xuan nodded, seeing that Yan Tao understood this, and then began to walk backwards.

Before, the open space here was full of trebuchets of all kinds, but now, all of them are gone.

Li Xuan walked along the Yongdao towards the city gate tower, and Zhou Shen, who was guarding the city gate tower at the moment, immediately bowed his hand to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan waved his hand, looking towards the west side from here, the rows of counterparts were already full of all kinds of crossbow machines.

Bows and arrows were placed underneath, logs were placed behind them, and a large cauldron full of water was ready to boil.

These things are all intended to be used as a means to deal with the siege of the Tianyin Sect in the future.

Twenty meters on each side of the gatehouse, there is a trebuchet with stones on all sides.

As long as Li Xuan gave an order, these stones would immediately pour out of the city.

Under the rolling stones, I don't know how many souls will be added.

"The methods we used before, I'm afraid it's no longer a secret now, even if you and I have some ingenuity, we can hide those things temporarily, and we will be grinding out little by little with our opponents in the future, and next, what we will face is a tough battle." Li Xuan looked sideways at Yan Tao, and Yan Tao's face became more and more solemn.

They were held at Meiling Pass, and the main army of the Tianyin Sect could not enter Wuzhou from Meiling Pass.

The Wujiang River has been closed again, and now the fastest and most direct way is to open the Meiling Pass.

Li Xuan counted his opponents according to 3,000 people, which is definitely not much.

"The backup I'm waiting for?" Yan Tao looked at Li Xuan with some concern.

"There's no need to worry too much, this king has already sent a letter to Wang Tingshi, imploring him to send another five hundred soldiers to Meiling Pass, as long as there are five hundred more soldiers and enough crossbow support, we can hold Meiling Pass steadily." Li Xuan responded lightly.

Yan Tao's breathing immediately relaxed, and he immediately bowed his hand and complimented: "It's better for the prince to think about it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yan Tao seemed to be keenly aware of something, and subconsciously raised his head: "The prince said that the crossbow supports?" ”

"We don't lack arrows here, what we really lack is a bow." Li Xuan looked at the mountains and dense forests in the distance, and said softly: "If you want to completely strangle three thousand people, the longbow in our hands, as well as the bowstring, is simply not enough to pull so many times, even the crossbow is the same, and this bow and crossbow method, the bowstring is the most difficult to make, and the catapult is the same, this is the biggest weakness of my wait." ”

Yan Tao didn't hear Li Xuan's words very clearly, he only wrote down four words.

Completely strangled.

Three thousand people.
