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

Chapter 509

At dusk, the stream is long.

At the foot of Heilong Ridge, beside the camp, horse-drawn carts brought food into the camp.

Li Xuan stood by the side of the granary, carefully watching his subordinates deliver the grain into the granary.

By tomorrow, these grains will be sent to Heilongling, and then sent to the front line.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief after all the grain carts had been sent in to make sure they were correct.

Raising his head, Li Xuan looked into the camp. In the entire camp, except for those who manage logistics and injuries, they are basically at the front line.

After closing the gate of the grain depot, Li Xuan walked in again, and Qi Guang greeted him immediately: "Your Majesty!"

"How's the situation?" Li Xuan's voice was suppressed very low.

"Report to the king, Uncle Yongchang will arrive at the camp tonight." Qi Guang responded in a low voice.

Li Xuan frowned, nodded, and said softly: "Okay, now unload all the grain, and then unload the body of the grain truck, and send it to Heilongling."

Qi Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't ask any more questions, and directly cupped his hands: "Here!"

Li Xuan raised her head, looked at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "It's been a day's journey, you should rest well, tomorrow, even if you want to have time to rest, it will be difficult."

"Here!" Li Xuan nodded solemnly to Qi Guang, and Qi Guang nodded knowingly.

Li Xuan left the granary again, but Qi Guang stayed inside.

After returning to his camp, an official document was quickly delivered to Li Xuan.

"General Zhonglang stopped attacking, and all the soldiers withdrew from the Immortal Valley." Li Xuan's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm.

Not many people were killed or injured in today's battle, especially Ariake Chongyan's personal rescue, which is far from the point where the entire army has withdrawn from Immortal Valley.

This is a trap.

Lure the Tianyin believers to raid at night, and at the same time send people to sneak into the main altar.

As long as the way to the underground palace can be found, then Tianyin Sect's extremely complicated maze will be self-defeating.

Maybe even Ming Chongyan will personally take action tonight.

Li Xuan couldn't help but shook her head. In Qiu Shenji's eyes, are those people from Tianyin Sect just so brainless?

Li Xuan closed her eyes slightly.

In a blink of an eye, his line of sight appeared in the underground palace, under Zhang Wanyu's line of sight.

……

After an unknown amount of time passed, Li Xuan opened her eyes again.

The sky outside has become slightly brighter.

As expected by Li Xuan, within one night, no one was tricked out of the underground palace of the Tianyin Sect.

Instead, outside the Immortal Valley, Ming Chongyan and Qiu Shenji couldn't help leading people to attack the Tianyin and Digong.

But unfortunately, the depths of the underground palace are densely covered with traps,
Even with the accumulated abilities of Ming Chongyan and Qiu Shen, they were not able to penetrate too deep into the underground palace.

However, the two of them personally took action, after all, they figured out the details of many agencies inside.

When we attack tomorrow, some small places that are usually not noticed by people are likely to have a huge effect.

Help them get into the deepest part of the entire dungeon.

Be it Qiu Shenji or Ming Chongyan, they are all good players at manipulating people's hearts.

Once a crack is torn open in the underground palace of the main altar of the Tianyin Sect, countless cracks will be opened immediately after.

It is nothing more than a matter of time.

Unfortunately, the problem is time.

Li Xuan withdrew his thoughts. Although the Tianyin teaching staff had already noticed the entry of the officers and soldiers, their mentality was still very stable.

Because the Holy Queen is right behind them.

Even in death, there is the Heavenly Yin Divine Kingdom as its backing.

"I only wish the light to be reborn in the cloudy sky."

There is no need to worry about the future. The Tianyin Sect is crazy and terrifying these days, and its attack and combat power are also strong and destructive.

Even if the first level mechanism is destroyed, the people guarding the mechanism will fight to the last breath, and no one will surrender at all.

Many of them have even made plans to die with the officers and soldiers.

It can be foreseen that in today's battle, the casualties of the enemy and the enemy will probably be an extremely terrible number.

Ye Wanwan and Zhang Wanyu quickly took over the entire underground palace, and under the order of the empress, there were not even many people who suspected it.

All the secrets of the entire underground palace are under the eyes of the two of them, which is equivalent to falling into Li Xuan's eyes.

Today, there is a very important thing, that is, Qianmian Buddha is about to assassinate Qiu Shenji.

Of course, it is impossible for Yan Zhuang to really fight Qiu Shenji, unless his family of dozens of people will die.

Now it depends on whether Qiu Shenji will enter the "A channel".

……

"Why is Qiu Changshi injured?" Duan Baoxuan called Li Xuan to the top of the Black Dragon Ridge as soon as he reached the peak.

Looking at the guard who reported the news, Li Xuan asked in surprise, "When did it happen?"

"Half an hour ago." Duan Baoxuan picked up the topic, looked at Li Xuan, and said in a deep voice: "Just half an hour ago, someone got in among the soldiers, followed the army out of the underground palace, and then quietly approached Qiu Changshi , with one stab."

"Then what about the assassin, is he dead, or is he still alive?"

"Dead, his corpse was broken into thousands of pieces on the spot." Duan Baoxuan shook his head slightly, looked up at Li Xuan and said, "Qiu Changshi hopes that the prince can step forward at this moment and take over from him to command the army to capture the Immortal Valley.",

"It's not impossible." Li Xuan said a word, and Duan Baoxuan's face was full of surprise.

He originally thought that Li Xuan would refuse in person, and find a suitable excuse to refuse in person, but he never thought that he would be so good that he agreed.

Li Xuan smiled lightly and said: "If you are going to attack the mountain, please ask the commander to withdraw the camp outside the valley for five miles. The next official will personally lead the troops to attack the valley. Within three days, the Immortal Valley will definitely be captured."

"Within three days?" Duan Baoxuan frowned, and couldn't help asking: "Does the King of Nanchang have any good plans?"

"It's not a good strategy!" Li Xuan shook his head and said, "In the current situation, the enemy and ourselves are in contact with each other, and the teeth are intertwined. It's not up to me to do anything. If I advance, the enemy will retreat, and if I retreat, the enemy will advance. Therefore, the lower officials want to take advantage of people's hearts. , Hook the enemies in the valley out of the Immortal Valley."

"So, I'm afraid the Tianyin Sect won't fall for it." Duan Baoxuan couldn't believe Li Xuan's strategy.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, and said: "Of course, if it's just like this, it's not easy to lure the enemy out, so I can only trouble Qiu Changshi, 'die' last time."

"If my nephew has a plan, please explain it in detail." Duan Baoxuan could tell that Li Xuan already had a complete set of plans here.

But he only revealed a few words about the details of the plan, and it was difficult to figure out a complete plan.

"Captain, this plan is based on people's hearts, so it's better not to say anything." Li Xuan shook her head and refused directly.

Tianchi backwater is right in front of him, he will go to Immortal Valley only when he is sick.

"Let the governor think about it." Duan Baoxuan began to bow his head in thought, but at this moment, Li Xuan didn't give him any time.

He took out a centimeter from his sleeve and handed it to Duan Baoxuan's desk.

Under Duan Baoxuan's surprised eyes, Li Xuan said directly: "Commander, last night, some people in Muzhou City tried to stir up riots, but they were directly suppressed by Du Canjun. His subordinates have sent Yu Xiuzhuan to return to deal with it and inform the governor."

"Trying to stir up turmoil." Duan Baoxuan immediately forgot about the frontline battle.

If something really happened in Muzhou City, and the future would be worrying, all of them would be in bad luck.

"Nephew, it's better to go back to Muzhou to sit in town now." Duan Baoxuan looked solemn.

Li Xuan shook her head slightly, cupped her hands and said, "Commander, the turmoil in the state city has been suppressed, what is needed now is nothing more than to consult the remnants of the bandits, that's all. You can just sit in Heilongling, and you don't need to return to Muzhou."

Duan Baoxuan immediately reacted, and then he laughed uncontrollably and said: "You, you, if you don't want to go, just say so, why go around in such a circle."

Li Xuan said indifferently: "The matter is true, if it wasn't for the lower officials' arrangements, I'm afraid they would have succeeded."

Duan Baoxuan's expression became completely serious, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said: "So, let the Immortal Valley be handed over to Captain Huai."

"It should be Lieutenant Huai Du." Li Xuan said a word, with a trace of disgust in his eyes.

Now in Immortal Valley, apart from Qiu Shenji, there are also two Zhechong captains, Huaijin and Xue Qianfeng.

The highest official position is Huaijin, the captain of Zhechong of Kuaiji Prefecture, but he handed over the command of the front line to please Qiu Shenji, and Xue Qianfeng did not object, which caused such a situation.

When Li Xuan arrived at the front line, he himself was just staying in one state.

The two lieutenants Zhechong could not listen to his orders at all, and in the end he could only use his status as the county king to subdue them.

In this way, if something happens, the responsibility will be all his.

The calculations are really dark.

……

Withdrew from the big tent, the dissatisfaction and anger in Li Xuan's eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant.

He raised his head and looked towards the valley with a solemn expression.

The so-called assassination of Qiu Shenji must have been done by Yan Zhuang.

Through the assassination, Yan Zhuang might have passed all the news at once.

He himself may have already felt Empress Dowager's suspicion of her.

There are not many opportunities for him to have.

After Qiu Shenji got the news, he might immediately organize his people to enter the underground palace of the main altar from the secret path.

It's just that he didn't know that everything he did was under the control of the empress.

It was Yan Zhuang who made Li Xuan feel pitiful. He had the opportunity to take advantage of this rare opportunity to go out and escape directly, but he went back anyway.

Li Xuan couldn't help sighing in her heart, the sky couldn't save the damned ghost.

And Qiu Shenji, Li Xuan originally thought that he would tell the truth, and then let Li Xuan lead the team to explore the secret path.

After all, the secret path is hidden, and the risk is not small, but he really didn't expect that Qiu Shenji would let him lead the army to attack the underground palace, and he would go to explore the secret path himself.

It seems that he has a lot of confidence in the secret way, and he is not worried about it being a trap at all.

Standing on the top of the mountain, even under the sun, Li Xuan still felt chills.

Looking at the valley in the distance, Li Xuan had a faint urge to throw her whole body towards the valley.

This is the desire he suddenly had after reaching the top of the mountain today.

It was as if in the dark, there was an invisible force pulling him, trying to pull him into the valley.

Although this power is invisible, it is not false, because it actually acts on the human spirit.

Empress!
Yangshen, Jindan.

Li Xuan raised his head, the sun above his head was scorching, but he was absolutely sure that there would not be any stars or moon in the sky tonight.

He had a feeling that this kind of time was what the Empress was waiting for.

All this happened tonight.

Yan Zhuang, Qiu Shenji, and Ming Chongyan have all fallen into the scheme of the empress.

On the contrary, Li Xuan, Sima Chengzhen, they all stood on the river bank, watching all this.

In the end, it depends on whether those who are already struggling in the long river can take the target first, or those who stand on the shore can come first.
