The sun is setting and the sky is dusk.

A small group of red-clothed gold-armored Qianniuwei finally came down from Lingyin Temple to the foot of the mountain.

Li Xuan, who was walking in the forefront, stopped slightly, then turned his head to look in the direction of Lingyin Temple, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, on the official road opposite, there was another small team of Qianniu Guards, escorting Yu Ze from a distance.

Soon, Yu Ze stopped in front of Li Xuan and arched his hand, "Lord Wang, I don't know if the things on the mountain are appropriate?"

"It's still early, the Japanese people are not so easy to take the bait, and now it's just that both sides have intentions. Let's go, go back to the Shifu," Li Xuan slapped the horse fiercely, and the next moment, the group had already quickly headed in the direction of Hangzhou City.

After the group left, there were people at the bottom of the mountain who went up the mountain in twos and threes.

On the high mountain, a petite figure watched Li Xuan from afar towards Yangzhou City.

Under the cute double bun is a pair of bright eyes and cheeks with some baby fat.

Wearing a black night suit, she looked a little delicate, her small nose was wrinkled, and the next moment, she stomped hard towards the ground, and a white smoke rose instantly, and the figure of the delicate girl disappeared in place.

A moment later, another white smoke rose in the Shifang Garden of Lingyin Temple.

The delicate girl reappeared, and then bowed to Dao Zhen and said, "Master!"

"It's Ah Quan!" Dao Zhen raised his head gently, looked at the girl Ah Quan, beckoned, and asked kindly, "What, the king of Nanchang is gone?"

"Yes!" The delicate girl Ah Quan walked quickly in front of Dao Zhen and looked at Dao Zhen with a worried face: "Master, what did the King of Nanchang come to you for?"

"Datang wants to cooperate with my country." Daozhen looked at the girl Ah Quan calmly.

Hearing Dao Zhen say this, Ah Quan immediately frowned, and said worriedly: "Datang cooperates with China, so wouldn't it be cooperating with Tianwu's traitor, with Datang's support, wouldn't Tianwu's traitor have to sit firmly on the throne of the king?"

"The Imperial Maiden." Dao Zhen looked at the little girl Ah Quan seriously, and solemnly admonished: "Now that I have arrived in the Tang Dynasty, there is no longer a Quan princess on this land, only the widow Ah Quan, so don't always mention King Tianwu and call him a traitor.

In domestic affairs, we only need to send information, and the one who makes the decision has his own Heavenly Martial King."

"Whoa!" Izumi Imperial Maiden...... Ah Quan came over and pulled Daozhen's arm, and said, "Got it, uncle, Ah Quan will be cautious in the future."

Daozhen patted Ah Quan's little hand and said in a low voice, "If it weren't for the fact that I had been designated as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to take you two sisters out of the country together."

"Yes!" Ah Quan's expression was already low for a while.

"By the way, let's talk about the king of Nanchang." A sneer appeared at the corner of Daozhen's eyes, and he said softly: "The king of Nanchang came this time, it seems that he wants to discuss with my country about dividing Silla, but in fact, he is just using our country, in the end, once Tianwu sends troops, then he will definitely suffer a crushing defeat on Dongdao, and at that time, Amin will take the opportunity to counterattack and recapture Pinghejing in one fell swoop."

"So, the master promised the king of Nanchang."

"How can it be so easy, with an edict and a few empty words, it is not so easy to get Tianwu to dispatch." Dao Zhen shook his head and said with a sneer: "This time, even if it is not for Tianwu, for ourselves, we will make Datang pay the price."

Dao Zhen's face showed a trace of ruthlessness, and in the depths of his eyes, endless greed flashed.

Standing on the side, Ah Quan didn't see this scene, but she had already nodded silently in agreement with what Daozhen said.

The fierceness on Dao Zhen's face disappeared instantly, and he turned his head to look at Ah Quan and said, "Where is the water lord now?"

Izumi immediately said seriously, "Sister is training the ninjas of the Iga Department in the mountains."

Dao Zhen couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Without the support of the family, it is too difficult to seriously train qualified ninjas, not everyone has the same talent as Ah Quan, you and your sister."

"If it weren't for the loss of too many manpower in God, we wouldn't be so stretched." Ah Quan's face was slightly ugly.

Dao Zhen waved his hand, and said with regret on his face: "The matter in Luoyang is the fault of the master, and the master didn't expect the Tianyin Sect to be so crazy that he would dare to make a fuss about the prince of the Tang Dynasty."

"Then Master, the Tianyin Sect has perished, on the side of the King of the East China Sea?"

"What is the king of the East China Sea, now that we have the edict of the Tang Emperor, the Tang family can give us much more things than the king of the East China Sea, with the Tang Emperor, who still needs to take care of the king of the East China Sea." Daozhen's face was full of disdain.

Their cooperation with the King of the East China Sea was originally a move to take what they needed, but whether it was the Tianyin Sect or the King of the East China Sea, they were repeatedly defeated by the hands of the Tang Dynasty, which made the allies of the Wa Kingdom also suffer heavy losses, so who still has the heart to really cooperate with the King of the East China Sea.

Now this is even more so, in Li Xuan's conversation, although his posture is very high, the real bargaining chip of the matter is in the hands of the Japanese state.

Thinking of this, Dao Zhen looked at Ah Quan and said in a deep voice, "Ah Quan, you go down the mountain immediately now and personally watch King Nanchang's every move."

"Whoa!" Ah Quan immediately surrendered his promise, and then raised his head and asked, "Master, I'm going to keep an eye on King Nanchang, then there is no one around you, master, do you want to call Sister Ah back."

"No, the water lord I will arrange for her to go to Yangzhou, the prince of Jian didn't know what happened, and she was actually approached by the king of Nanchang?" Daozhen's face unconsciously began to become serious.

Don't look at Dao Zhen's casual contacts in the Tang Dynasty now, especially as a monk, living in their respective temples at any time, but what they really rely on is the uncle of the previous generation of King Hongwen, the younger brother of the current King Tianwu, whose real name is Prince Jian, but now he is a disciple of Hongjing of Daming Temple. Look at the book

Wu Yi was the first batch of envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and later somehow became obsessed with Buddhism, and finally became a monk directly, which is the same, so he was lucky to avoid the many disputes within the Wa Kingdom.

"Ah Quan knows, Ah Quan will keep an eye on the king of Nanchang." The girl Ah Quan bowed slightly to Dao Zhen, then took a step back and disappeared directly into the room.

"King Igano, whether you can regain the throne this time depends on whether you can seize this opportunity." Dao Zhen clenched his fists and clenched the holy decree in his hand.

In the Hangzhou Thorn Mansion, Li Xuan had just come back and was invited to the official hall by Yuan Jiazuo, the Thorn History of Hangzhou.

Yuan Jiazuo was the only one in the quiet official hall, and the others had already been arranged by him to leave.

"I've seen the envoy." Li Xuan stood in the hall and bowed his hand slightly to Yuan Jiazuo.

Yuan Jiazuo withdrew his gaze from the document in front of him, then looked up at Li Xuan, and saw that he looked calm, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked with concern: "Lord Wang, please sit down, I don't know how the situation is today?"

Li Xuan sat down opposite Yuan Jiazuo, and then looked at him and said, "There are good and bad."

"Lord Wang, please elaborate." Yuan Jiazuo became serious.

"The good news is that the Japanese people are extremely ambitious towards Silla, and the bad news is that they are too greedy, and your majesty's promise alone may not be enough, they need something more practical." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and then informed Yuan Jiazuo of the details of today's meeting with Monk Daozhen.

The most impressive thing about Monk Daozhen was that after he got the emperor's holy decree, he held on to it, as if it was some kind of elixir spirit grass that could save his life.

"This is a good thing, I'm afraid that they don't want anything, since they have a plan, give it to them, are you still afraid that they won't do anything if they take something, my Datang things are not easy to take." A sneer appeared at the corner of Yuan Jiazuo's mouth.

"What Yuan Gong said is very true, the envoys sent by the Japanese State to the Tang Dynasty do not know the general, if the Japanese people dare to act indiscriminately, then all the Japanese people in the Tang Dynasty will be arrested, and after that, whether it is mining or building city walls, people are always needed." The corners of Li Xuan's mouth curled into a shallow smile, and there was a hint of cruelty in silence.

If it can't be achieved, then it will destroy the way for the Japanese to steal culture from the Tang Dynasty, and even directly kill the Japanese themselves......

"In terms of the sailor, Ji Duwei is already actively preparing, and the prince will be able to get it tomorrow." Speaking of this, Yuan Jiazuo paused slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a low voice, "About the remnants of the East China Sea King

I wonder if the prince has other ideas?"

Li Xuan suddenly raised his head and stared at Yuan Jiazuo.

Nowadays, in the entire southeast, it seems that everyone is paying attention to the matter of reinforcing the East Island, but in fact, the real people who are concerned are concerned about the follow-up treatment of the Yangzhou Shi'an County Mansion.

Not a long time has passed, but many details have been deliberately passed out.

For example, Li Xuan only forbade the personnel of the Shi'an County Public Government to enter and leave the country, but some people imprisoned the Shi'an County Public Security.

As for who imprisoned Shi'an Jungong, all the major families in Jiangnan have people in Yangzhou, and naturally they all know that Xue Zhongzhang is acting with the secret order of Pei Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

No one cares how Xue Zhongzhang and his people do things, but Li Xuan is now in Yangzhou, and it is inevitable that some people will be a little uneasy.

"But what did someone ask Yuan Gong about?" Li Xuan's fluttering mouth made Yuan Jiazuo's eyes stare involuntarily.

The look on Yuan Jiazuo's face suddenly became indifferent. smiled and said: "The prince is too worried, it's not that someone has colluded with the king of the East China Sea, it's just that Hangzhou has been a harmonious atmosphere for many years, and everyone doesn't want to break this harmony."

"Actually, this king doesn't want to break this harmony." Li Xuan knocked lightly on the table, then looked at Yuan Jiazuo and said, "The matter of the Shi'an County Princess, which should have been handled by the palace or Zongzheng Temple, but the Criminal Department intervened in Yangzhou, and if they can do this in Yangzhou, they can naturally do it in Hangzhou."

After a pause, Li Xuan looked at Yuan Jiazuo and said, "Duke Yuan might as well say something for Xiao Wang, if anyone has collusion with the King of the East China Sea, he should take the initiative to confess, otherwise, once the people from the Criminal Department find out, even this king will not be able to protect him."

"With the prince's words, the old man will rest assured, if the Wuyue family really has contact with the king of the East China Sea, it means that the prince, who is the official, must dig it out thoroughly." Yuan Jiazuo looked like he was swearing.

Li Xuan smiled, and Yuan Jiazuo also smiled.

It's nothing more than killing,

The family has always pursued the strategy of not putting all the eggs in one basket.

It is not too difficult to understand that someone went to burn the cold stove built by Prince Yin's descendants.

But now that this line has been paid attention to by the palace, if the major families don't want to be exterminated, then they can only clean up the portal by themselves.

They are no strangers to doing this kind of thing.

The bloody family fight of the Xia family before is a clear proof of this.
