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

Chapter 507 Arranging funeral affairs, the saint first

"...I arrived at Heilongling. Within two days, Heilongling fell. I encountered enemy chieftains. The enemy retreated. The army arrived at the foot of the Immortal Mountain. I stayed at Heilongling to transfer food and grass. I relied on the holy power. I will surely trap a thief soon...Your Highness, Qianqiu, every day Come on, Li Xuan from Nanchang."

Li Xuan closed the envelope, put it in a bamboo tube, and handed it to Qiu Zhenmu, saying in a deep voice, "Send someone to Muzhou overnight, and then send it to Shendu from the post station three hundred miles away."

"Here!" Qiu Zhenmu immediately turned around and left.

"Brother Qiu!" Li Xuan suddenly called out to stop Qiu Zhenmu, and then said: "Have someone bring a message to the street, everything can start to prepare."

"Here!" Qiu Zhenmu's face immediately turned solemn.

Li Xuan waved her hand, Qiu Zhenmu immediately turned around and left.

Watching the curtain fall, Li Xuan smiled lightly. With his movement, I don't know how many people will be watching secretly.

Regaining consciousness, Li Xuan looked at the rice paper on the table.

All the terrain around the entire Xianren Mountain was drawn on the rice paper, but the top of the Xianren Peak was shrouded in a layer of clouds and mist.

Sitting on the bed, Li Xuan closed her eyes slightly, and her vision changed instantly.

……

In the dark corridor, Zhang Wanyu walked forward quickly, Ye Wanwan followed behind, and a whole team of blue female soldiers headed by He Qinger followed closely.

Suddenly, at the end of the corridor ahead, a thick stone gate blocked the way, and there were more than ten female soldiers in black standing at the gate.

Each held a long knife and watched everyone warily, even Zhang Wanyu was no exception.

Zhang Wanyu stopped, turned her head to look at the crowd, and said, "Saint and I go in, the rest of you stay here."

"Here!" He Qing'er immediately agreed!

Seeing everyone lined up outside the door, Zhang Wanyu led Ye Wanwan forward, and the heavy stone door slowly opened at this moment.

A soft beam of light projected from the stone gate, and a faint fragrance came to the nostrils.

Zhang Wanyu quickly walked into the cave, and endless mist diffused along the ground.

There are more than a dozen lotus flowers blooming in the pools on both sides.

White jade is the fence, jade is the steps, and the upper and lower light curtains are shrouded. Everything is as beautiful as a fairyland.

On the innermost jade seat, the Empress Dowager was sitting on it, wearing black gold clothes, black hair climbing high, and a noble and solemn complexion.

Behind Chen Zhong standing sideways, Thousand Faced Buddha and Fang Qianshan standing in front.

Seeing Zhang Wanyu come in, the empress suddenly showed a doting smile on her face, and waved: "Wan'er, you are here."

"The Holy Queen." Zhang Wanyu stood beside Fang Qianshan, then looked at the Queen with a solemn expression, cupped her hands and said, "I heard that the Holy Queen went to Heilongling before, so I don't know what happened."

Although Zhang Wanyu's face was solemn, she did not hide the worry in her eyes at all.

Empress waved her plain hands indifferently, and said easily: "Okay, alright, I just went to see how many people they have come. No, it's easy to come, easy to go."

Zhang Wanyu's face softened a little, and then she asked: "Can the Holy Empress find out how many masters have come from all parties?"

"Ming Chongyan, Sima Chengzhen, and secretly there are two people from other sects of the Devil's Cult, but I don't know who they are." Empress Yan's expression was still indifferent, facing such a situation, she was unmoved.

"Damn bastard, it's this time, and you're still plotting secretly." Zhang Wanyu's delicate face was full of dissatisfaction.

"It's okay, the Master of the Holy Cult is just not very optimistic about this action." Empress Dowager's eyes were indifferent, only a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"From the very beginning, they were the ones who kept urging us to revolt behind our backs. Now it's good, but they don't care about it anymore." Zhang Wanyu's dissatisfaction grew stronger and stronger.

"Haven't they always been like this? The devil's religion preys on the weak and the strong are scheming against each other. This time, it is not only the government but also them who want to carve up us." The queen's eyes were bright, and she had already seen through everything behind it.

"Since everyone knows it's so dangerous, why does the Holy Empress go to take risks in Heilongling?" Zhang Wanyu's face was full of dissatisfaction.

"If I didn't go, how could they come here with such peace of mind." Zhang Wanyu was slightly taken aback by Xie's last words.

Afterwards, after seeing the Empress, she smiled slightly, raised her head, looked at Shi Qiong above, and said softly: "Only the faster they come, the less vigilant they are about our organ arrangement, the more so, the more serious their casualties will be." , the more we have a chance to counterattack.”

Zhang Wanyu wanted to say something, but she glanced at Fang Qianshan from the corner of her eye, and finally closed her mouth.

Afterwards, the expression became solemn again, and she looked at Fang Qianshan and said, "Qianshan, go ahead, watch the mechanism, I want them to come later, and they will all be buried here."

"Here!" Fang Qianshan cupped his hands solemnly, then quickly turned and left.

After that, he turned his head to look at Qianmian Buddha, and said in a deep voice: "Elder, please find a way to infiltrate the army in the morning of the next day, and then assassinate Qiu Shenji. Regardless of success or failure, retreat immediately."

"Here!" Thousand Faced Buddha replied solemnly, and said nothing after seeing you, then turned around and left.

After turning her head to look at Chen Zhong, she said in a cold voice, "Thousand-faced Buddha knows the channel of Jia character, right?"

"Yes, the letter A passage is the widest, the most used, and the most people know about it." Chen Zhong cupped his hands.

"Then make preparations for the enemy in the A-shaped channel, and bury all the people who enter." Empress Dowager's indifferent eyes brought a trace of chill deep in his eyes.

"Ah?" Both Zhang Wanyu and Ye Wanwan showed surprise on their faces.

Empress Yao turned her head calmly, looked at the two of them and said, "Thousand-faced Buddha is unbelievable."

"Why?" Zhang Wanyu couldn't help asking.

"During the time he was in the general altar, when he first came, he asked for orders to lead the army several times, but since the setback in Wuzhou, he no longer mentioned it, especially now that my teaching general altar is in danger, and I don't see him offering advice and suggestions. , kept silent all the time, what was in his heart is clearly revealed."

What the queen said made Zhang Wanyu and Ye Wanwan look surprised.

Zhang Wanyu took a breath, and then said solemnly: "If the Thousand Faces Buddha is like this, then the King of the East China Sea, is he also untrustworthy?"

"As long as he doesn't threaten him, he is still credible." Xie's last sentence pointed out their relationship with the East China Sea King.

"Then our original plan, shall we still implement it?" Zhang Wanyu looked up at the queen.

"Naturally." Empress Dowager slightly nodded her head and said, "In the main altar, he is untrustworthy, but when he arrives in Hangzhou, he will become credible again. Of course, the premise is that you can meet him again in Hangzhou. "

"Yes!" Zhang Wanyu wrote down the empress's words while thinking about the intention.

Afterwards, he continued: "In this battle, both the enemy and us will suffer, but compared with my teaching, the Tang army has too many backups. If the prediction is correct, then now, Xuanzhou, Quzhou, Kuozhou, and even Yangzhou have already had troops in front of us." Come on, I will teach you that it is impossible to win, so you must reserve the fire in advance."

Having said that, Hou picked up a book from the side and handed it to Zhang Wanyu.

There were no words on the cover of the book, Zhang Wanyu subconsciously clicked on it, and suddenly saw lines of numbers written on it, 37, 46...

"Holy Queen, what is this?" Zhang Wanyu looked at the Queen with a puzzled expression.

"This is the root of my teaching's revival. You go to Hangzhou first, and then go to Chang'an after three months. After arriving in Chang'an, contact the Chang'an branch, and they will naturally give you another item." Explained a sentence.

"Obey!" Although Zhang Wanyu was still puzzled, she complied.

"Although Chang'an Fenduo is a subordinate of the King of the East China Sea, they will definitely give you that share." Xie said the last sentence very firmly.

Zhang Wanyu nodded.

The Empress then looked at Ye Wanwan, and said in a deep voice, "Regardless of success or failure this time, the Empress will retire. From now on, the Holy Maiden will take over as the Holy Queen of Tianyin, and Wanyu will take over as the Great Elder. Let's work together, let's work together to carry forward my teaching, the sky is faint, and the sky will last forever."

"The sky is faint, and the sky is always cloudy." Ye Wanwan and Zhang Wanyu clasped their hands together at the same time, pinching the Taiyin formula, with serious expressions on their faces.

At this time, Zhang Wanyu raised her head, looked at the queen, and asked in a low voice: "Holy queen, what about brother?"

Wen Fuzhi, Zhang Wanyu's elder brother, Wen Fuzhi, is the original heir appointed by the empress.

But now, not only was this position not given to Wen Fuzhi, nor even Zhang Wanyu, but to the saint Ye Wanwan.

"If you go to see the King of the East China Sea, Fuzhi will naturally go to see the King of the Western Regions." Queen Xi whispered Wen Fuzhi's whereabouts.

The King of the Western Regions is a high-ranking member of Tubo, and Wen Fuzhi went to Tubo, naturally hoping to borrow the power of Tubo.

Zhang Wanyu suddenly realized the hidden meaning behind her words: "My brother has already gone to Tubo."

"I left last night."

"Then his illness?"

"He's fully awake, but he doesn't remember what happened after he fell into the water in Yanxi River that night. His other conditions are completely fine, so he will continue to bear heavy responsibilities." Having said that, she finally looked at Ye Wanwan again: "In the future No longer hold any position in the church, the saint remembers."

"Here!" Although Ye Wanwan didn't understand what he meant, she accepted the order solemnly.

"In the past few days, all external affairs will be presided over by the saint, assisted by Wan'er. If there is no destruction, don't come to the empress." Speaking of this, the empress said directly: "Once the empress orders, you two People immediately evacuated the main altar and went to Yangzhou."

"Here!" Zhang Wanyu and Ye Wanwan took orders at the same time, and with a wave of their hands, the two immediately bowed and retreated.

"Leng Leng Leng!" The stone door closed again heavily.

Inside the cave, only Empress Dowager and Chen Zhong remained.

"Holy Empress, have you not told the Holy Maiden about your affairs?" Chen Zhong's face showed a hint of worry.

What Chen Zhong was talking about here was the saint Ye Wanwan, not Zhang Wanyu.

"Tell her what to do, so what if you don't tell her. After arriving in Chang'an, she will naturally know the truth of the matter." The queen's expression was still indifferent, and she said indifferently: "Now the things in the church have been completely arranged, and the rest , is my own business.”

"The holy queen will definitely succeed this time." Chen Zhong showed a firm look on his face.

Empress Dowager showed a slight smile indifferently, and then said: "This time, it was a choice I had to make. If I did it, it would be good for the congregation, and it would be good for him as well. Meiniang completely let go of her guard, so he can do things easily. "

"Holy Queen!" Chen Zhong showed a trace of unbearable expression on his face.

"Sorrowful." The cold expression suddenly turned cold, and in a blink of an eye, his sharp eyes fell on Chen Zhong's face.

The sadness on Chen Zhong's face stopped immediately.

At this time, the empress said softly: "This time, it seems that there are many crises, but it may not be without opportunities. Take a gamble."
