Hangzhou, the residence of the sailor.

At the end of the day, Hangzhou Bay in the distance was still shrouded in darkness.

In the nearby sailor station, it was already brightly lit.

On the school field on the east side, the sailors have begun to prepare to send the last supplies to the ship.

In the courtyard on the west side, Jin Wuwei guarded it heavily, and Qianniuwei quickly and non-stop back and forth, sending news to Li Xuan one by one.

Sitting in the lobby, Li Xuan put down the last short note in his hand, looked up at Xiang Sui, and said softly: "Hangzhou City has thirteen city gates, five water gates, and eight land gates, and in the past six months, a small number of personnel have been added and replaced, especially the southeast water gate, the southeast land gate and the southwest water gate are the most, and tonight, these young people who have just come here will be on duty."

"It seems that the Zhoushan Haikou and the Tianyin Remnant Bandit will make a move at these three city gates tonight." Lai Sui clenched his fists tightly.

He didn't expect that someone really wanted to join forces with Zhoushan Haikou, and try to take Hangzhou City.

You must know that his uncle had just arrived in Hangzhou City when he came to Jingye, and such a big thing happened.

If one is not handled well, Hangzhou will be in chaos, and if you come to dedication, you will immediately be burdened with heavy responsibilities.

"Be careful, this crisis is not to be taken lightly." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and said softly: "According to the report, there are several shops in these three city gates that have been sold and traded in the past six months, and there are several of them who have been watching outside all night last night."

"Good thieves, they really want to take Hangzhou City all." Lai Sui suddenly gritted his teeth.

If there is a sufficient amount of manpower and ordnance in these shops, coupled with the internal response of the city gate and the detention outside the city, I am afraid that even the gods will not be able to defend the city even if they come.

How sinister are the intentions of such people?

Li Xuan sent the short sign in his hand to Lai Sui's hand, and said softly: "The time is too short, and there are too few things that can be found, but if Xuan's guess is correct, they should have other arrangements, but that should be the only way to retreat after the siege fails, block the place, and only then can they be wiped out, and these will be handed over to Brother Lai."

"Thank you so much, brother!" Lai Sui solemnly bowed his hand to Li Xuan, and the anger in his heart gradually calmed down.

It's all very dangerous now, but if it's done right, it's a great achievement.

"The foolish brother will rush back as soon as possible and launch a surprise attack from behind the Zhoushan Haikou, but the brother must remember that the eastern city must be defended, otherwise, the situation will be difficult to control." Li Xuan finally told him seriously.

Whether Hangzhou City can be defended until Li Xuan leads the sailors back to help, the key lies in the East City Gate, whether they can defend it or not.

"Brother Fool understands how powerful it is, Brother Xian can rest assured." Lai Sui took a deep breath, stood up and bowed to Li Xuan: "In the end, if everything can go as he wishes, the foolish brother will definitely thank him again."

"You and my brother don't have to be so polite." Li Xuan smiled and waved his hand, stood up at the same time, and said, "In this way, little brother will stop for the time being, you and I will meet again tonight."

"Brother Please!" came and sent Li Xuan to the gate of the courtyard, and then stopped.

The eastern sky was already bright, and dozens of warships docked on the Hangzhou Sailor Wharf, which was magnificent in the distance.

Li Xuan glanced at the warship, and then arched his hand at Laisui and said: "Brother Lai, be careful, what is really dangerous now is the internal response in the city, the sailor has swept the Zhoushan Haikou several times, but in the end it was in vain, and his position in the Hangzhou Mansion must not be low."

"Foolish brother wrote it down." Lai then bowed his hand deeply again and said, "Brother Xian, be careful all the way."

"Come brother, be careful." After speaking, Li Xuan turned around and took many of his subordinates to get on the four-masted warship specially prepared for him by the sailor.

It didn't take long for dozens of large ships to set off at the same time, speeding towards the east.

In the mighty sailing of the ship, in the eastern sky, the great sun slowly rises in the east.

On the nameless hills of Xiaoshan, in the dense forest, Wen Xu watched dozens of warships leaving the port with a smile, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nowadays, the whole Hangzhou water

Division, there are less than ten old and dilapidated ships and some remnants left." The corners of Wen Xu's mouth showed a slight smug smile.

When the Hangzhou sailor completely disappeared from his sight, his face became completely solemn.

Turning around, Wen Xu hurried towards the rolling hills.

In the blink of an eye, among the hills that originally seemed to be uninhabited, more than a dozen black-clothed guards suddenly poured out, escorting Wen Xu towards the depths of the hills.

Wen Xu and the others waited for no idea how long they had been walking, and finally came to a valley where no one was around.

At this moment, nearly 900 black-clothed soldiers were sitting on the ground, eating breakfast with dry food and spring water on one side.

These black-clothed soldiers all looked indifferent, and although they were having breakfast, their long knives were always at hand.

Wen Xu walked into the crowd quickly, and many soldiers bowed slightly to him and got out of the way.

Deep in the valley, a small cave finally appeared in front of Wen Xu's eyes.

Wen Xu stepped into the cave, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

Although the entrance to the cave is small, the cave is open.

This is an underground cave that can accommodate thousands of people.

Wen Xu walked all the way to the depths of the cave, and a secret room that had been deliberately dug out quietly appeared.

Wen Xu stopped, looked sideways at the entourage behind him and said, "Let the three captains come over, and in addition, inform the sentry posts on the periphery that today, anyone who enters the nearby three miles, regardless of their origin, will be killed."

"Obey." The men immediately turned and left.

Wen Xu walked into the cave alone, and there was a map hanging high on the wall, a map of Hangzhou City.

I saw that three thick lines plunged into the city of Hangzhou from the southeast and west sides, and the places where the three thick lines passed were the three city gates that Li Xuan had always named.

Li Xuan's focus on Wen Xu and a group of black pawns was not at all wrong.

However, in addition to these three thick lines, there is also a thin line that runs from the south city to the north city.

At the same time, on this thin line, there is another place that is additionally marked, and this place is the Hangzhou Thorn Mansion.

The real target of Wen Xu's attack on Hangzhou this time turned out to be the Assassin Mansion.

Outside Hangzhou Bay, the waves gradually become larger.

The west wind was cold, and the ship was gradually bumpy.

On the warship where Li Xuan was, Qianniuwei and Jin Wuwei were guarded by internal guards.

In the cabin, a map of the city of Hangzhou was hung high on the bulkhead of the cabin.

Li Xuan stood in front of the map, staring at the map carefully.

After a long time, Li Xuan slowly turned around and looked at the side of the table, where Yu Ze with three official files was placed in front of him.

These three official files are the former secretary Lang, the current Hangzhou Facao Xue Zhongzhang, the current Hangzhou Record Secretary Guan Mi, and Xiaoshan County Wei Wenxu, these three people have been very close in the past few days.

"Uncle Yu thinks, which of these three people is the person of the East China Sea King?" Li Xuan's voice sounded behind Yu Ze.

Yu Ze subconsciously turned his head, then took a deep breath and said, "It's possible that these three people are all possible, and even the three of them are all people from the East China Sea King?"

"Oh?" Li Xuan suddenly felt a little funny, among the three, it was clear that only Wen Xu was the king of the East China Sea, how could Yu Ze think that all three of them were.

"First of all, this Wen County Lieutenant, he has been in Hangzhou for the longest time, since he was transferred to Xiaoshan three years ago, he has actively cracked down on the bullies of the wealthy clans in the territory and supported the people, however, such a person who loves the people did not even notice it at all when the Tianyin Sect black pawns infiltrated, which is somewhat bizarre."

Yu Ze paused slightly, and said with a sneer: "If he is a member of the Tianyin Sect, then the reason why the officers and soldiers have searched several times before, but they have not been able to find the reason why the Tianyin Sect disciple can be found."

"Yes, this one is probably the biggest." Li Xuan nodded in agreement, Yu Ze's analysis was good, because this is indeed the truth.

Yu Ze followed up and turned out the file of Guan Mi, who had joined the army in Hangzhou, and said with a slightly worried face: "If it is most likely to be the Xiaoshan Captain of the Tianyin Sect, then this is the most threatening to Hangzhou

He joined the army as a secretary of the Hangzhou government, and he knows too much about the reality of Hangzhou."

Li Xuan's hand couldn't help but pause slightly, and he looked at Yu Ze with a surprised face.

Then he looked back at the file of Guan Mi, who had joined the army, and saw that there were dense records written in this official road.

He has registered all the merits and demerits of almost all the officials in Hangzhou Prefecture, and many of them have been performed by the officials.

In other words, Guan Mi knew all the officials in Hangzhou and knew their personal preferences and habits.

Guan Mi is definitely an extremely qualified recorder to join the army, and at the same time, the damage he can cause once he is used by the King of the East China Sea is absolutely terrifying.

Yu Ze said softly, "If I am the king of the East China Sea and want to make a move against the Southeast Family, then the first thing I will grasp is this Guan to join the army."

Li Xuan nodded seriously and did not speak, but he knew that Yu Ze was right, if he wanted to attack the Hangzhou Mansion, it was best to really control this recorder to join the army, which was indeed a good hint for Li Xuan to do things in the future.

"The third is this Secretary Xue." Yu Ze said softly, "After all, this Secretary Xue is from Chang'an, and we all know that the King of the East China Sea is now in Chang'an; Then there is the fact that he was born in the Xue clan in Hedong, and the relationship between the Xue clan and Prince Yin is not weak."

Yu Ze's words made Li Xuan couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

Yu Ze followed up and said, "However, what really cares about his subordinates is the mother of Secretary Xue, Wei Shi."

"The marriage between the Xue family and the Wei family is not a big deal?" Li Xuan was a little puzzled.

Yu Ze smiled slightly bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, please see, it is written here that his mother was born in Jingzhao Wei, and his father Wei Jiqing." ap.

"How is Wei Jiqing?" Li Xuan's face began to be solemn, although he didn't know much about the old things in Chang'an in the early years, he also knew that the people who could make Yu Ze remember his name were not simple people.

"Because this Wei Miaocheng, although he is only the Jingzhao Taimiao Cheng of Zhengjiupin, his father is the son of Wei Ting, the Xiangzhou Thorn Shi of the First Emperor Dynasty, that is to say, this Xue joined the army, and he is Wei Ting's great-grandson." Yu Ze smiled bitterly at Li Xuan and arched his hand.

"Wei Ting?" Li Xuan didn't know why he had some impressions of this name, and after thinking about it for a while, he said with a shocked face: "Is it Wei Ting, the hussar of the Hidden Prince Zuo Wei and the head of the Inspector Prince's Left Guard, the father of Concubine Wei of the King of Qi, Li You?"

Li You, the fifth son of Emperor Taizong, his mother Yin, his wife Wei, Zhenguan rebelled and died in the seventeenth year.

Wei Ting was the son of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, because of Yang Wengan's rebellion, he was exiled to Shanzhou on behalf of Li Jiancheng.

After the Xuanwumen Change, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin ascended the throne, Wei Ting was recalled to serve in the court, and then he was promoted all the way to worship the Imperial Shi Dafu, Yinqing Guanglu Dafu, Xinghuangmen Shilang, and Wei King Li Tai's mansion.

His daughter was even married to Li You, the king of Qi, as a concubine, but the king of Qi rebelled, the king of Wei failed to seize the heir, Wei Ting was implicated, degraded to the history of Xiangzhou assassination, and died.

"No wonder, his aunt, the daughter of the Xue family in Hedong, married to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, even if she marries later, she shouldn't be so obscure anyway, but if her family and Wei Ting are in-laws, it won't be so simple, and it's no wonder that the relationship between Xue Zhongzhang and Pei Yan has always been unknown, so it is."

Li Jiancheng, the hidden prince, Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Li You, the king of Qi, are another unlucky family.

Li Xuan's eyes suddenly flickered, and he didn't know what he was planning.
