People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 459 Mutation occurs, killing intent ends

In the empty cabin, Zhu Xi sat on the deck with disheveled hair, his eyes were dull, motionless, but he didn't know what he was muttering.

The wrinkled black robe was casually draped over his body, showing a sloppy look that hadn't been tidied up for several days.

The cabin door opened, sunlight poured in, and two figures walked in from the outside.

Zhu Xi raised his head in a daze. He saw Yuan Chao at the first sight, clenched his fists, and made a forward posture in an instant, as if the next moment, he would directly pounce on Yuan Chao.

But for some reason, he stopped abruptly.

Standing behind, Li Xuan felt a little surprised when she saw this scene.

Zhu Xi didn't have any restraints all over his body, but he seemed to be afraid of something, wanted to pounce, but finally stopped.

"Brother Zhu!" Yuan Chao bowed to salute, and then said in a deep voice: "The agreement with the imperial court has almost been reached. To show his sincerity, the king of Nanchang County personally came to the ship to appease the soldiers. After a while, we will set off After going to Sanheguan, the brothers who are willing to abandon their weapons and return to the fields, the imperial court will allocate acres of land for them to raise in peace, and those who are willing to join the army, the imperial court will also restrain them into an army..."

"And then go to attack the main altar?" Zhu Xi raised his head and stared at Li Xuan.

This old man in his fifties, with half-gray and half-white hair and wrinkled face, looked at Li Xuan with hatred in his eyes.

Li Xuan shook his head directly, and said: "The imperial court will not let the Muzhou navy attack the main altar of the Tianyin Sect. Even if they want to use them, at most they will be used to deal with the Zhoushan pirates after undergoing training."

"The last remaining Muzhou Navy was annexed by the Hangzhou Navy?" Zhu Shi's face immediately showed a burst of coldness.

Li Xuan frowned, and looked sideways at Yuan Chao.

"Lieutenant Zhu used to work in the Hangzhou Navy. After the riots 20 years ago, he left the Hangzhou Navy. Earlier, when the Muzhou Navy was formed, all his capable disciples were employed." Yuan Chao said slightly to Li Xuan. Explained two sentences.

Li Xuan understood a little bit, why Zhu Xi was clearly not a direct descendant of the Tianyin sect like Zhang Wanyu and Wen Fuzhi, but he could still control the water army, this was the reason.

"It's a pity that I believe in the wrong person." Zhu Xi gritted his teeth and stared at Yuan Chao, his eyes full of blood and hatred.
Yuan Chao shook his head calmly, and said, "If those few people don't die, then our entire fleet will have no way to survive."

Zhu Xi and his apprentices are the backbone of the entire navy.

But except for Zhu Xi, all of his apprentices were killed by Yuan Chao when he mastered the navy.

"Where is Fang Fengjin, where has he gone?" Zhu Xi suddenly turned his head to look at Li Xuan, with a trace of anger in his eyes.

"Who knows, maybe he went back to Muzhou, or maybe he lost his way somewhere." Li Xuan's expression was very calm.

"Maybe he's dead?" Zhu Xi's breathing suddenly became heavy.

After Fang Fengjin's defeat at Meiling Pass, it is impossible to let such a force that can make a comeback like the Navy remain unchanged.

Unless, he is dead!

Yuan Chao, who was standing aside, couldn't help but look a little gloomy, but then became firm.

"Perhaps." Li Xuan didn't show any expression, he looked at Zhu Xi calmly: "I came here to know what the future plan of Captain Zhu is, whether he wants to serve in the court, or whether he wants to be dismissed and returned to the field. call the shots."

After all, Zhu Xi was nothing more than a captain of the Navy, and his status in Tianyin Sect was far inferior to that of Yuan Chao in name.

The word "pushe" is enough to describe Yuan Chao's status in Tianyin Sect.

"Kill me." Zhu Xi suddenly closed his eyes, raised his head, and looked like he was begging for death.

"Sir, you are overthinking, how could this king attack you? If you don't want to, this king can find a place for you to teach and pass away. It's better than not being able to move now." Li Xuan's tone was very sincere, but his expression was different. Very indifferent.

Although Zhu Xi repented and surrendered, this person is still very useful, and Li Xuan didn't want to kill him right now.

"I won't help you." Zhu Xi suddenly turned around, and now he didn't want to see Li Xuan at all.

"It doesn't matter." Li Xuan shook his head and said, "The matter of the Tianyin Sect is over, and the rest is nothing more than killing them all. What's the use of Mr. Labour."

Zhu Xi was taken aback suddenly, and looked at Li Xuan with a face full of surprise: "It's over?"

"The navy returned, Muzhou City can go down the river, and there is no backyard. Even if the queen made some progress in Shezhou, it would be a dead end after all. As for Hangzhou Mansion, the three brothers of the Bai family are dead, and the Zhoushan pirates will be fine. Something happened, so what does it have to do with Tianyin Sect?" Li Xuan's expression was very calm.

After he finished speaking, Zhu Xi immediately looked at Yuan Chao with a face full of disbelief: "You killed the three brothers of the Bai family?"

Yuan Chao's face was dark, he glanced at Li Xuan, then nodded and said: "Last night, the three Bai brothers learned that I was not included in the agreement with the imperial court, so out of anger, they attacked me at night, but..."

"But you have been prepared." Zhu Xi gritted his teeth and looked at Yuan Chao.

How could such a scheming guy like Yuan Chao put such a big hidden danger in his hands.

It is even very possible that the three Bai brothers knew that there was no news about them in the court agreement, and Yuan Chao deliberately let them out.

"It's a pity." Li Xuan said suddenly at this time, and said with a soft sigh: "Yao Sima originally wanted to use these three people to find the traces of the Zhoushan pirates, but now it seems that he can only find a way from other places, Mr. Yuan, After the meeting, please hand over all the documents brought by the three brothers of the Bai family to the king, and I will see if I can find anything useful from them... I think it will be difficult for Wen Fuzhi to do things in Hangzhou without the Zhoushan pirates. "

When Li Xuan said a word, Zhu Shi's expression changed immediately.

Tianyin Sect's original plan involved a very perfect and interlocking chain. As long as they succeed, they will be able to cause an uproar in the whole world in a short time. However, they did not take the first step, causing everything behind to break.

"I will definitely retreat to the Tianyin General Altar in the end, but this time, there are too many people who know the location of the Tianyin General Altar, so she can't escape."

Li Xuan turned her head and looked to the northeast, seeming to understand something vaguely: "Perhaps she knew from the very beginning that it would be difficult to succeed this time, Mr. Zhu, the only thing you can be useful to me is to think carefully about whether you know that the empress, Besides Tianyin General Altar, where is there any backup hiding place?"

Zhu Xi immediately stared at Li Xuan with straight eyes.

The meaning in Li Xuan's words couldn't be more obvious, that is, she has long been prepared to give up the main arena and go to another place, giving up everything that has been painstakingly worked on for more than 20 years.

That being the case, why did you start the incident in the first place?
In the empty cabin, at some point, he was the only one left.

……

On the deck, Yuan Chao bowed to Li Xuan, pleadingly said: "My lord, although Zhu Xi is stubborn, he finally supported the subordinate at the critical moment. I don't know if I can beg my lord to spare his life and not hand him over to the court. On crime."

"Where is Mr. Yuan thinking? Lieutenant Zhu Xi's outstanding achievements will naturally be praised by the world, so how can this king judge him?" Li Xuan's indifferent words made Yuan Chao's expression change.

Although Zhu Shi was bewildered by Yuan Chao, he was still loyal to Tianyin Sect after all.

If it is reported at this time that he has betrayed the Tianyin Sect, not only will his reputation be ruined, but even himself will be murdered!

"My lord, I don't know..." Yuan Chao wanted to beg Li Xuan to forgive Zhu Xi, but he didn't know where to start.

Li Xuan waved his hand: "Okay, Mr. Yuan, let's leave this matter as it is for the time being. Hurry up and get ready. After half an hour, I will set off to Sanheguan. This king and a group of generals will lead the first boat. The ships followed closely, and when they arrived at Sanhe Pass, all the generals disembarked together, and the other ships went to Lanxi County to receive reorganization."

Dispose of the generals and ordinary soldiers separately, and completely kill the combat power of this navy.

Yuan Chao raised his head, his face full of astonishment, but under Li Xuan's coercion, he finally gritted his teeth and complied.

Li Xuan nodded calmly, then got off the boat, and took the boat to the big boat in front.

The official ship that Li Xuan came on board blocked all the ships of the Muzhou Navy outside the entire Biwan exit.

He himself took the big ship where all the generals of the entire navy were there, suppressing all hidden dangers.

Although it took a lot of effort, under Yuan Chao's command, the entire navy quickly started to operate.

It didn't take long to get ready to sail.

At this time, Li Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was always worried about some accident, which caused Yuan Chao to turn his face suddenly at the last moment.

In that case, not only would the situation be irreversible, but even he himself would become a hostage in Yuan Chao's hands.

Now everything is finally in order.

"Report to the lord, everything is ready to be completed." Yuan Chao brought Yuan Lin and some of his cronies onto the big boat.

A green roster was held up high by Yuan Chao and placed in front of Li Xuan.

This book contains the names of all the people and where they went after the war.

In front of everyone, Li Xuan took it with both hands, then looked at everyone gently, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, tonight, this king will celebrate your achievements at Sanheguan!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Everyone present bowed to Li Xuan at the same time.

As long as the imperial court approves this roster, they will all become good people again.

The official ship turned around slowly, and took the lead out of Qinglong Bay.

After that, the three-masted warship followed closely, and more than 20 large ships behind also started.

A fleet of ships sailed into the Wujiang River very quickly.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Li Xuan turned his eyes away from the big ship that was heading ten feet away, looked at Li Zhu, Zhou Shen, and Su Baotong who were standing on the side, and then looked at Yuan Chao: "Sir, you and I are chatting, I don't know Is there any place you want to go in the future, sir, after this king returns to Shendu, His Majesty will inevitably ask, this king also has a saying, maybe he can help you."

"This..." Out of the corner of Yuan Chao's eyes, he glanced at the eyes of the many pricked-eared captains present, and then looked at Li Xuan's half-smiling gaze. Although he felt a little slanderous, he still replied honestly: "The criminal officer was born in Taizhou. , otherwise I don’t want to be able to be near my hometown..."

"That's Yuezhou." Li Xuan turned to look at the other people on the deck, and said loudly: "After this incident, the imperial court will definitely do its best to wipe out the pirates in the southeast, and maybe build a navy in Yuezhou. If you are interested, you can discuss it with Mr. Yuan, but we will go to Vietnam together..."

A loud "boom" abruptly interrupted Li Xuan's words.

Before he could react, the boat under his feet suddenly stopped.

It stopped directly on the Wujiang River.

Li Xuan clenched the handle of the knife in an instant.
