Under the bright moon, the peak of Black Dragon Ridge.

Densely packed tents have been erected on top of the peak.

Sima Chengzhen and Li Xuan stood on a large rock at the top of the peak, looking at the Immortal Valley in the distance.

Starting from their feet, the whole mountain began to gradually descend, and finally fell to the bottom in the Valley of the Immortals.

"Did the King of Nanchang see it?" Sima Chengzhen pointed to the surrounding terrain and looked at the last valley.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then said, "All this is like an immortal with open hands and encircling everything, and everything that enters it will inevitably enter the Immortal Valley in the end, which will be used by the queen of the concubine."

"Not bad!" Sima Chengzhen waved the dust in his hand and said calmly: "The method of finding the back road that the king just said is indeed a method, and the poor Dao will notify Qiu Shenqi to let him send someone to find it; However, I also ask the king to plan more, and maybe there are other methods."

"Xiao Wang will do his best!" Li Xuan gave up.

He knew that the scheming power he showed during this period of time was indeed valued by many people.

Sima Chengzhen told him so much because he was worried that he would not do his best.

After all, Li Xuan also had a lot of worries, the estrangement between him and Qiu Shenqi and Huaijin, as well as the suspicion of the court, all made him in a dilemma.

But Sima Chengzhen still hoped that Li Xuan could try his best to help the army enter the Immortal Valley at this time.

"There should be a few days left before the queen breakout." Sima Chengzhen looked at Li Xuan gently, and said with encouragement in his eyes, "The prince only needs to think of a way in these few days."

Li Xuan's face smiled bitterly, and he asked cautiously tentatively, "In order to avoid accidents, I wonder if you can ask Zhonglang to withdraw some of the soldiers inside?"

"Lord Wang, don't worry, similar things, Shiyin Zhenren will do better than us." Sima Chengzhen's face was relaxed.

Although he and Ming Chongyan have some competition to a certain extent, Sima Chengzhen still admires Ming Chongyan's ability.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, with Ming Chongyan on his side, it was not so easy for Empress Yu to calculate Qiu Shenxuan.

At this moment, Sima Chengzhen's voice stopped for a moment, and then he asked with a smile: "When everything is over, I'm afraid it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm afraid the king will return to Chang'an and prepare for the marriage, right?"

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, then looked at Sima Chengzhen, and said cautiously, "Yes, the time is just like this."

"After the wedding, the prince should have a nine-day holiday, and after nine days, the king may have to return to Wuzhou immediately, and he will have to take on the burden of driving." Sima Chengzhen simply said a few words, and he had already outlined what Li Xuan would do in the next month or two.

"In fact, the Tianyin Sect, this king's duties in Wuzhou have come to an end, and the rest is nothing more than a waste of time, maybe in view of this, Your Majesty will give this king more time and holidays." Li Xuan smiled faintly.

In fact, in this dynasty, the marriage of officials is only a nine-day holiday, which already includes the time spent on the road.

However, any smart official knows how to pretend to be a public servant.

At that time, it is only necessary to turn the private difference into tolerance, and the time spent on the road is counted within the tolerance, then the nine days after the marriage will be marriage leave.

Of course, although ordinary people will not hold on to this, if you offend too many people, and some people in the DPRK want to deliberately target, then if you are not careful, you will bury hidden dangers for yourself.

For Li Xuan, with Yu Ze, an old official, by his side, such a thing can be completely avoided.

He could even specifically ask the emperor to give him more time and vacation, and he would gladly agree to it, whether it was the emperor or the central ministers.

"Not bad!" Sima Chengzhen bowed slightly, and then said, "The time that the prince has been in Wuzhou will definitely not be too long, but has the king ever thought about where he will serve when he returns to the center in the future?"

"It's up to Your Majesty." Li Xuan looked up in the direction of Luoyang, and arched his hand slightly with a solemn face.

Sima Chengzhen waved the dust and said softly, "Maybe Your Majesty is already arranging."

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, and then it was over

I reacted.

Honglu Temple Shaoqing.

Li Xuan is now inspecting the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, as long as the word "inspection school" goes, then he is the real Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

Honglu Temple Shaoqing is an official position from the four grades.

Li Xuan is now a Wuzhou driver under the fifth grade, as long as he makes special contributions, he can be promoted to the fourth grade.

As for the top and bottom of the four grades, it depends on the needs of the official position.

Li Xuan wants to be promoted from Wuzhou under the fifth grade to Honglu Siqing from the fourth grade, just to see how many times he can make meritorious contributions.

"Thank you, sir, for your advice." Li Xuan thanked Sima Chengzhen for his respectful salute.

"The prince is gifted and intelligent, and he may be able to serve as an auxiliary country." Sima Chengzhen's words made Li Xuan's face change slightly.

Li Xuan's heart immediately calmed down, he raised his head, looked at Sima Chengzhen, and said heavily, "Everything depends on Your Majesty's arrangement."

Sima Chengzhen smiled and said meaningfully, "Everything depends on Your Majesty's arrangement."

Lifting the curtain of the tent, Li Xuan had just entered the tent, and with a sound of "Peng", the fire lit up.

Duan Baoxuan sat in front of the low table, the oil lamp was lit, and under the flickering firelight, his whole person seemed more and more calm: "Finished talking to Dao Yin Zhenren?"

"Yes!" Li Xuan bowed, then walked across from Duan Baoxuan and sat down.

Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan's steady movements, nodded with satisfaction, and asked, "What do you think?"

Li Xuan thought seriously for a moment, and then said, "There should be something on Empress Yuan's body, which is needed by everyone and herself, and that thing can be used for her to break through the Yang God, and even the unity of Yin and Yang to achieve the Golden Pill."

What Sima Chengzhen said was not clear, but Li Xuan guessed that that thing was what everyone wanted.

"That's pretty much how it should be." Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan, nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "This governor is ordered to defeat the Tianyin rebels, and Sima Zhenren is responsible for all other things, and all the affairs of the virtuous nephew should also be under this governor."

"Little nephew understands." Li Xuan nodded seriously and said, "Thank you uncle for your advice!"

After a pause, Li Xuan said seriously: "Now if you want to break through the Immortal Valley, break through the many secret passages under the Immortal Valley, and enter the underground palace, the best way is to find a secret passage that can lead directly to the inside from the outside, and enter from behind...... It's the only convenient way, and other than that, it's just a matter of taking it one step at a time."

"Nephew Xian, do you think Qiu Changshi can find it?" Duan Baoxuan followed up with an urgent question.

Li Xuan hesitated slightly, but still nodded, and then added, "It's not difficult to find, but it's not easy to attack."

The back path of the Tianyin Sect has been used so many times, as long as you look for it carefully, you will definitely be able to gain something.

It's just that you can find it, but you can't necessarily get in.

And as far as Li Xuan knew, there was not only one secret secret path for the Tianyin Sect to the outside world.

There are even some that only the core figures like Empress Yuan and Zhang Wanyu know.

Of course, the number of people who can pass through this kind of secret passage is very small.

The queen has been operating in front and behind the main altar for more than 20 years, and where is it so easy to be broken into by the army.

If there are fewer people entering, it will become a Chinese food on their plate.

"What if the virtuous nephew did it?" Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan with the taste of teaching.

Li Xuan's expression became solemn and he thought for a moment.

He lifted the teapot on the side and poured a cup for Duan Baoxuan before continuing: "Everything should be done step by step, for each level, break or demolish, destroy the mechanism to the greatest extent with the least casualties, and then attack the deepest part of the tunnel step by step...... If you don't rush it, that's the best strategy."

"But what if it's urgent?" Duan Baoxuan followed up and asked again.

Li Xuan lifted the teapot and poured himself a cup, and then said softly: "The little nephew has been watching the sky at night recently, in the past half a month, the weather has been fine, there is no rain in the mountains, and occasionally the fog rises, but it will disappear in an instant, so the best way to capture the underground palace is also."

It was the poisonous smoke that went first, then the rolling stones followed, and then the river water was transported...... In fact, it is all meticulous operation, and it is still a step-by-step approach, but if you find the right way, the speed can be accelerated."

"If you don't, you'll have to fill the hole with your life." Duan Baoxuan couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Li Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Uncle only needs to control and restore the soldiers of the Huiji Mansion, as well as the soldiers of the Six Prefectures, then the rest is the affairs of General Qiu Zhonglang and the Huangshan Mansion, there are not many people, they will naturally not be impatient."

"Not bad!" Duan Baoxuan nodded seriously, his expression ruthless.

Standing at the door, watching Duan Baoxuan go away, Yu Ze and Qiu Zhenmu walked out from behind Li Xuan.

Li Xuan glanced at the two of them, and said helplessly, "Now everyone regards this king as a wise boy."

"Who made the prince perform too well before." Yu Ze smiled faintly, looked up at Li Xuan, and asked, "Is there really no other way for the prince?"

"Nope!" Li Xuan shook his head, turned around, lifted the curtain and walked inside, and said at the same time: "The Immortal Valley and its underground palace in the mountains have been operated by the Tianyin Sect for decades, and the interior has long been an iron wall, and the water attacks the fire, and there are countermeasures inside, and it is difficult to destroy it."

There is no need to say that the fire attack is difficult, and the key is to look at the water attack.

On the top of the peak of 2,000 feet behind the Valley of the Immortals, there is a secret heavenly pool that is not known to the world.

Once the Tianchi slopes down, it will have a devastating impact on the army below, and it will not be a threat to the hinterland of the Tianyin Sect itself.

Unless Empress Yuan wants to let her subordinates and officers and soldiers die together, she must have already thought of a countermeasure.

"Then Lord, what should I do next?" Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan, they were here now.

"Wait, wait, patiently." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and said softly: "Now, with Qiu Zhonglang and Shiyin Zhenren in front, it is not the turn of this king to make irresponsible remarks, seniors, they are not simple people."

A faint sneer appeared at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth.

Whether it is Qiu Shenxuan, or Ming Chongyan, Sima Chengzhen and Duan Baoxuan, they are not ordinary characters.

The underground palace of the Tianyin Sect is indeed complicated, but it may not be all flawed, and the people of Qiu Shenqi have their own methods.

The reason why I came to ask Li Xuan was just to see if Li Xuan had any better ways to incorporate it into their own set.

Although Li Xuan spit out some methods, they are all common methods in the world, and there is not much surprise.

It's not that he really doesn't have ideas, it's just that for the time being, he just wants to sit and watch the tiger fight.
