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

Chapter 466

"Bang bang!" There was a knock on the cabin door.

Outside the cabin door, Li Zhu's voice sounded immediately: "My lord, the Muzhou navy has slowed down."

Inside the cabin, Li Xuan turned her head and glanced behind. Under the cabin door, the moonlight was still shining on the ground calmly.

Li Xuan turned her head and looked at Zhang Wanyu again: "Your brother is here, it is three miles away, and he will be here in a blink of an eye...

If it were another place, it would be very difficult to predict who would live and who would die between me and him, but tonight, on the Wujiang River, he was doomed.

If you can give this king the answer to that question before, then this king guarantees that he will leave here alive in the end. "

"To live, no matter how you live, life is better than death is also a kind of life."

Zhang Wanyu raised her head and looked at Li Xuan with a sneer in her eyes: "Based on what I know about you, you will never let a person go easily; a person you want to kill and you can kill has left alive from your hands. It can only show that you are already using him to calculate something, and this is you."

Li Xuan put both hands on the table, moved them lightly, and said calmly, "I didn't expect you to misunderstand me so deeply. It seems that no matter what I say, you won't believe me anymore. I hope you understand that life is better than death, and there is hope in life..."

"Perhaps you should think about it, maybe you are the one who will die tonight." Zhang Wanyu looked at Li Xuan, with a taunting smile on her lips.

Li Xuan's eyes turned cold for an instant, she stretched her five fingers, and the force pierced through the fingertips, but slowly retracted.

If it was at any other time, he might have grabbed the woman angrily, pressed her on his leg, and spanked her hard.

But tonight is different, the right time and place are harmonious with people, success or failure has already been determined, this trick of trying to provoke him is useless at all.

Li Xuan glanced at Zhang Wanyu indifferently, and said calmly: "This time, I won't argue with you, but after tonight, I will get back the price you pay for what you said."

"Whatever you want." Zhang Wanyu turned her head away, her whole body now only has the strength to speak.

"Bang bang bang!" Li Xuan tapped on the table lightly, drawing Zhang Wanyu's attention back, and then he said again: "It's still the same problem, if I don't die tonight, then you can tell me the problem." What's the answer?"

"Why are you so obsessed with knowing the answer to that question?" Zhang Wanyu looked at Li Xuan with some puzzlement.

"Because knowing the answer to that question is equivalent to knowing the root of all the turmoil in the southeast." Li Xuan looked deeply at Zhang Wanyu.

Zhang Wanyu's eyes tightened for an instant, and Li Xuan immediately knew that he had guessed right.

"This king just said that I want you to see your elder brother." Li Xuan looked behind him sideways, and said softly: "This king still advises you to reconsider, if your elder brother dies at the hands of this king tonight, then You won't have the chance to see him for the last time."

Li Xuan stood up slowly, turned around and was about to walk outside. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at Zhang Wanyu again. Then, under Zhang Wanyu's extremely surprised eyes, he leaned over and grabbed her right arm. .

Immediately afterwards, Li Xuan pressed Zhang Wanyu's right hand directly on the table.

Impressively, he saw Zhang Wanyu's right hand tightly holding a wooden thorn.

The wooden splint was snapped off from the leg of the low table. Li Xuan stretched out his hand and took the wooden splint from her hand, and then squeezed it hard. In an instant, the wooden splinter was crushed into powder by Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked at her, shook her head lightly, and said, "Your hand can't do anything except commit suicide. Don't worry, I'm not a pervert, and I won't touch you easily; I didn't kill you just because you still have value to this king, but if you have no value to this king at all, you can imagine what the consequences will be, and this king is not a good person."

After finishing speaking, Li Xuan stood up, turned to look at Qu Ying, and said coldly: "Look at her, don't let her commit suicide, don't let her see anything outside, don't let her talk, just let her Just listen."

"Here!" Qu Ying bowed immediately, then stared at Zhang Wanyu expressionlessly.

Li Xuan walked quickly to the door, just as she lifted the curtain, Li Xuan's footsteps stopped.

He turned his head and looked at Zhang Wanyu: "Even if the king's question cannot be asked from your mouth, it can still be asked from your brother's mouth."

As soon as the voice fell, the door curtain had fallen again, and Li Xuan was no longer in the cabin.

Hearing the sound of footsteps leaving quickly, Zhang Wanyu's face suddenly became painful, but immediately, she clenched her teeth firmly.

She couldn't say the answer to that question, not even death.

Because once she said it, more people died.

As for the elder brother, Zhang Wanyu can only hope that he can live up to his expectations and that no accidents will happen.

As for herself, Zhang Wanyu had a feeling.

Tonight, no matter what I say or do, it is very likely that it is all in the calculations of the King of Nanchang.

If he really made a sound in spite of everything, then it is very likely that the king of Nanchang will use him to deal with his brother Wen Fuzhi.

If he really didn't do anything and something happened to his brother, then he would be completely overwhelmed by the monstrous self-blame.

No matter what I do, every move I make will be calculated and used by the King of Nanchang.

Zhang Wanyu was already caught in an extremely difficult situation, but although she was struggling with endless pain and remorse, she firmly suppressed herself, saying nothing and doing nothing.

It's not bad if you don't do it, trust your brother.

……

The night breeze was blowing, Li Xuan looked calm and confident as he watched the warships approaching in the distance.

Zhang Wanyu refused to say the answer to the question he was most concerned about, so Wen Fuzhi would not say it easily either.

It is far from easy to use this question to deal with the future.

The emperor entrusted him with such a difficult problem because he saw Li Xuan's ability during this period, but this matter was not easy to handle.

Li Xuan looked in the direction of Shendu, and there was a trace of solemnity in his expression.

Today's Tianyin Sect's rebellion, in the final analysis, is nothing more than local people's dissatisfaction with the heavy taxes of the imperial court, and then relying on religion, and using religion as a bond to resist.

No matter how big it is, it cannot be separated from this category, even if the empress was born as a descendant of Chen, even if Wen Fuzhi and Zhang Wanyu are descendants of Yuwen.

Moreover, the current incident, in any case, did not involve the countless families of Wuyue.

It wasn't even involved with any important court officials, let alone the emperor and the East Palace.

Li Xuan didn't believe that the layout of the gods in Shendu some time ago was useless just because of his intervention.

Behind all this, there are more unknown things.

The emperor is still paying attention, which explains a lot.

Li Xuan had a feeling that today's Tianyin Sect riot is just the most superficial thing.

Under the cover of this surface layer, there are more unknown and terrifying facts.

But what exactly is this.

……

The bright moon hangs high, illuminating the Wujiang River brightly.

The fleet from the north slowly sailed into the Yanxi River Bend, and the special terrain of Yanxi forced them to slow down.

At the same time, Wen Fuzhi, who was standing at the bow, saw Li Xuan standing on the official boat 200 meters away from the exit of Yanxi River Bend.

200 meters, if you are a master of bow and arrow, you can also snipe from 200 meters away.

Looking at Li Xuan, who was wearing a black brocade robe with a vague inner armor, Wen Fuzhi couldn't help frowning a trace of worry.

He swung forward vigorously with his right hand, and the next moment, the entire warship rapidly increased by three points under the most unlikely circumstances.

Li Xuan watched this scene calmly, without any emotion in his eyes.

Even his gaze directly passed Wen Fuzhi, and landed on the other warships behind him.

Li Xuan began to count silently: "One, two, three, four!"

When seeing the fourth warship passing through the Yanxi River Bend, Li Xuan immediately looked sideways at Li Zhu: "Send the order, Lasso!"

"Here!" Li Zhu bowed slightly, and the next moment, his right hand was suddenly raised high, a firework suddenly flew into the sky, and then exploded quickly.

At this moment, countless footsteps sounded immediately on the river banks on both sides.

Hundreds of Wuzhou soldiers suddenly appeared from the darkness on both sides of the bank, and soon approached to a place tens of meters away from the bank.

Immediately afterwards, they saw them lowering their bodies under the moonlight, and then vigorously pulled something on the ground, carried it on their backs, and then quickly turned around and pulled it further away.

Nearly 300 people were divided into six teams, three teams on each side of the bank, and they did not attack the boats on the river. After grabbing things on the ground, they quickly retreated into the dark shadows.

Amidst the sound of "quack quack", thick iron chains were pulled out of the river directly.

At the two corners of the character "Zhi", three thick chains were pulled out of the river.

The sound of "dong dong dong" appeared in the darkness immediately, and it was obvious that someone had nailed the iron chain firmly on the shore.

The Wuzhou fleet on the big river was divided into three sections in an instant.

All this happened very quickly in the darkness, and before everyone could react, it was all done.

Wen Fuzhi, who was standing on the front boat, immediately stared at Li Xuan who was on the opposite side.

No wonder he was waiting here, it turned out that he wanted to take advantage of the special terrain here.

"Send someone to break the iron chain immediately, or we will be a turtle in a urn." Wen Fuzhi immediately ordered Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xi nodded with an extremely gloomy face, and then quickly went to make arrangements.

The leading boat where Wen Fuzhi is now, and the three boats behind it, have already left the "Zigzag" river bend, but at this moment, they have already stopped moving forward, and instead retreated a little, even dying affixed to the chain.

I don't know what to worry about.

In the middle, five ships were trapped in the middle of the chains on both sides.

At the rear, the remaining six warships lost their command and were at a loss.

……

"You're doomed to lose, so why bother to struggle? Put down your weapons and surrender now. I promise you that you will still give it to you." Li Xuan's voice was very low, but it echoed clearly in the ears of everyone in the Muzhou Navy.

"People say that the King of Nanchang is as cunning as a wild fox. You can't even believe his words." Wen Fuzhi's voice sounded immediately, and Li Xuan's method of communicating the voice was interrupted instantly.

"By the way, why do you do this? You want to die yourself, so why drag so many people together, the defeat is already doomed."

On the Wujiang River under the bright moon, two voices sounded in turn, as if they were fighting.

"Oh, it's far from the last moment, and the King of Nanchang has already decided that our defeat is over. This is a bit too arbitrary." Wen Fuzhi looked at Li Xuan in the distance, his gaze was cold.

He didn't want to have this conversation with Li Xuan at all. Although he said that he needed to use this time to stop the Wuzhou soldiers from attacking, so that they could take this opportunity to break the chain on the river, but this conversation was Li Xuan's. Xuan provoked.

Someone once warned him that when fighting the King of Nanchang, he should just kill him directly, and don't let him speak.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the outcome of the battle would be taken away by him bit by bit.

But Wen Fu knew clearly that he had to do this now.

The king of Nanchang is here for this conversation, otherwise, the fatal attack would have come long ago.
