Chapter 0260: Intensifying Contradictions

"Good water," the fisherman and his son whispered.

Of course, Li Zhen knew that Di Yan's water ability and light skills were superhuman, so he was really not at ease, so he also took out his bow and arrows and jumped onto Temple Island, and the young fisherman also followed him to the island

"Don't worry, there are a lot of undercurrent reefs here, our boats can't pass, and they won't come. ”

Hearing that there are reefs and undercurrents below, Li Zhen was even more worried in his heart, he secretly regretted it, he should have insisted on not letting her go, at this moment, he saw a spark on the island in front of him flashed, and it was extinguished in an instant, Li Zhen was immediately overjoyed, this was the signal they had agreed, Di Yan went ashore, and his heart relaxed slightly.

Although Di Yan encountered two undercurrents, she was strong in water, and she used her body's agility to quickly get rid of the undercurrent, and soon went ashore, she knocked out a little spark with the flint hidden in her waist, and ran to the depths of the dense forest.

There were originally large woods on the island, but due to the presence of troops, a lot of them have been cut down, and some small animals such as roe deer, grass deer, and hares living on the island have all been killed and killed, and only a large number of water birds are inhabited, but Di Yan is agile and agile, and extremely smart, running all the way, without alarming any water birds, and gradually approaching the center of the island.

Yangtze Island is the later Yangzhong, but in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Yangtze River did not accumulate much sediment, this big island has not been connected to the north shore, and has become an isolated island in the Yangtze River, the shape is like a fan, with a radius of ten miles.

Di Yan gradually approached a hill, suddenly she heard the voice of someone talking, in a hurry, she jumped up, climbed a big branch, turned her body and went up the big tree, clinging to the tree tightly, the black tight water leaning and the big tree are integrated, it is difficult to find her without looking carefully.

I saw a few patrol soldiers coming over lazily, and only one of them said: "I should have paid the money yesterday, why didn't there be any movement at all, Bian Lao Wu, you are more familiar with the above, what is going on?"

"If you ask me, who will I ask? Anyway, if we don't give money, we won't live, and if we can't do it, we will go home, and we will earn a lot of money as a soldier for a year. ”

"That's right, I heard that there was going to be a war, so I said let's take it easy and give up our lives for this little money, it's not worth it."

Several soldiers muttered and walked away, Di Yan waited for their backs to disappear, then jumped on the tree and ran towards the hill, the hill can only be regarded as a mound at best, only three or four zhang high, but it is a mile long, Di Yan stood on the top of the hill and looked down, a large military camp appeared at the bottom of the mountain, surrounded by camp fences, and in the middle was a neat big tent, there were hundreds of tops.

Li Zhen waited on Temple Island for almost an hour, Di Yan never came back, he was very nervous, he kept staring at the dark Yangtze Island, and the young fisherman next to him was also a little anxious, "Nothing will happen to that girl?"

Li Zhen shook his head lightly, "If she is discovered, there will be movement on the island, and it should be fine." ”

Having said that, Li Zhen himself has no bottom at all, Yangtze Island is too big, even if Di Yan misses and is captured, he may not be able to see it here, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the shore not far away, Li Zhen's heart jumped suddenly, and asked in a low voice: "Ah Yan, is it you?"

"Fool, of course it's me," Di Yan replied coquettishly.

Li Zhen was overjoyed, rushed up, and hugged Di Yan's petite body in his arms, Di Yan saw that the young fisherman was also coming, and hurriedly pushed Li Zhen away, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, it's going very well, let's go back first."

The three of them returned to the boat, Li Zhen and Di Yan entered the cabin, and the fisherman and his son slowly left Temple Island and sailed towards Jiangyang County on the north bank.

In the cabin, Di Yan whispered: "Turn your back"

Li Zhen knew that she was going to change her clothes, so she hurriedly turned her back, only to hear the sound of undressing from behind her, Di Yan took off the wet water and put on her dress, seeing that he was very honest and didn't peek at herself, she smiled with satisfaction: "It's okay"

Li Zhen turned around and held her hand, Di Yan whispered, "Don't you want to hear me talk about the situation on the island?"

Li Zhen shook his head, took her into his arms again, and kissed her on her smooth forehead, Di Yan's body shook slightly, but he didn't push him away, Li Zhen seemed to get a hint, so he mustered up his courage, his lips slowly slid down, and found her delicate red lips, before she could react, the hot lips pressed up, Di Yan's face was suddenly flushed, and she buried her head in his arms shyly, and whispered like a mosquito moaning: "You are not allowed to bully me"

Li Zhen knew that she was very thin-skinned, but he didn't dare to continue to do nonsense, he was satisfied, held her in his arms, and slowly warmed her cold body with his own body temperature, Di Yan didn't push him away, snuggled in his arms and laughed softly: "Li Yuanjia may have drunk too much, and he forgot to give the soldiers a salary, and the soldiers complained, fortunately it was in the river, otherwise I don't know how many people would have run away." ”

Li Zhen hugged the gentle beauty, he had already been distracted, where did he still care about Li Yuanjia's army, as long as Di Yan didn't run away from his arms.

In front of the Yangzhou Assassin's Mansion, a carriage slowly stopped, and out of the car came a young and thin man, with a pale face and slender eyes flashing with a terrifying light, this person was Jian Dongxi, the leader of the Goryeo Restoration Association in the Tang Dynasty, after the failure to assassinate Li Xian in Chengxian County, they fled back to Luoyang, and under the protection of Wu Sansi, they escaped the liquidation and pursuit of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, the 'Restoration Society' is just the internal name of the Goguryeo people themselves, and in the Tang Dynasty, their public name is called the Goryeo Mutual Aid Association, nominally to help the Goguryeo people adapt to the life of the Tang Dynasty, and has been tacitly approved by the imperial court, which is barely a legal organization.

Not only that, the Goryeo Restoration Association was also closely attached to Wu Sansi, willing to become Wu Sansi's lackey, and worked for him in exchange for protection, but at the same time, it also secretly worked actively for the revival of Goguryeo.

The task of the Goryeo Restoration Congress is to provoke civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, taking advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty and having no time to take care of the frontier to rebuild the Goguryeo Kingdom, after the failure of the assassination of Li Xian, Jian Dongxi lurked in Luoyang for a period of time, with the gradual expansion of the Xingtang Society, Jian Dongxi saw the opportunity to provoke the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, and took the initiative to ask Wu Sansi to go to Yangzhou to act.

Wu Sansi also didn't want to send Wu Jiangtang to participate in this matter, Jian Dongxi's initiative to ask Ying Zheng to fall into his arms, the two hit it off, and Jian Dongxi led the elite warriors to Yangzhou to see the opportunity to act.

Wu Sansi's task to Jian Dongxi was to force the Xingtang Society to rebel and create an excuse for Wu Zetian to comprehensively suppress the Li royal family, which also coincided with the mission of the Goryeo Restoration Congress.

A housekeeper walked into the Taishou Mansion with Jian Dongxi, and came to Lin Qing's outer study, and the housekeeper bowed and said, "Son, please wait, I'll go to report to Taishou"

Jian Dongxi looked at Lin Qing's study curiously, this is just an outer study, mainly used to receive important guests, and there are no confidential documents, he casually took a roll of maps from the bookshelf, and slowly unfolded it, this is an ordinary Yangzhou business map, the map marks the location of many important shops, this can also be bought in the market, Jian Dongxi wants a military map of the southeast of the Tang Dynasty, there are military camps and garrison locations, but unfortunately there is no in the study.

At this time, there was a gentle coughing sound behind him, Jian Dongxi turned around, only to see Taishou Lin Qing appear behind him, he hurriedly returned the map to its original position, bowed and gave a long salute, "Juniors see Lin Yuanjun"

Lin Qing had dealt with the Goguryeo people a few times, and he didn't like these Goguryeo people from the bottom of his heart, especially the Goguryeo warriors who temporarily lived in his mansion two days ago left the station without permission and appeared near his study, although they also participated in the capture of the infiltrators, but it still made Lin Qing extremely dissatisfied.

If it weren't for Wu Sansi strictly ordering him to assist the Goguryeo warriors, he wouldn't have ignored them at all, Lin Qing said coldly: "Childe, please take a seat"

Lin Qing sat down, Jian Dongxi sat down unceremoniously, he bowed and smiled: "I heard that an assassin sneaked into the mansion a few days ago, and I was too frightened. ”

Lin Qing knew that he was reminding himself that it was his people who had discovered the assassin and protected himself, and Lin Qing was very disgusted by this kind of invitation, so he didn't take the topic, took a sip of tea and asked, "I heard that the person who came to Junchen is also in Yangzhou, have you found it?"

"Back to Lin Taishou, our people found Hou Sizhi in a green building in Yangzhou South City, and I have sent someone to monitor him closely. ”

Lin Qing saw that they were quite efficient. His face softened slightly, and he asked again: "And Li Zhen, he is also a difficult person to deal with, you should also pay attention to him." ”

At the mention of Li Zhen, Jian Dongxi's heart swelled with a strong hatred, in Xiangcheng County, his people suffered heavy casualties, because Li Zhen's internal guard appeared in time, but Jian Dongxi is a person with a very strong city, he did not show the slightest hatred in his heart, and pretended to be stunned and said: "The envoy is talking about the internal guard Li Zhen, is he also in Yangzhou?"

Lin Qing raised his eyelids, glanced at him keenly, and said lightly: "You assassinated Wu Yizong at the Yanzhen dock, don't you know that Li Zhen is also there?"

Jian Dongxi hurriedly shook his head, "I really don't know, and His Royal Highness King Liang didn't tell me in advance." ”

Lin Qing sneered: "Since you don't want to admit it, then I don't know about it Li Zhen is nominally to protect Wu Yizong, but in fact, he came to Yangzhou for other purposes, he is in Yangzhou City now, you had better find him, and your assassination of Wu Yizong seems to have no effect, what are you going to do?"

Jian Dongxi already had a case in his heart, and he smiled and said: "The reason why Wu Yizong is reluctant to enter Yangzhou is because he is afraid that Li Yuanjia will attack him, and now he is very well defended, and it is difficult to attack again, so we can only change another direction and force Li Yuanjia to do it first, so I specially came to ask Lin Taishou for help." ”

Lin Qing didn't want to help these Goguryeo people, but thinking of Wu Sansi's order, he had to hold back the disgust in his heart and said coldly: "How do you want me to help you."

"It's very simple, I hope Lin Taishou can go to Jiangyang County again and help me send a piece of information to Li Yuanjia. ”

Lin Qing was the Emperor of Taishou, how could he obey the dispatch of a Goguryeo, he snorted disdainfully, "I will send someone to deliver a letter for you"
