Chapter 401 Watching the sky at night, flooded three thousand miles

Under night, in the courtyard.

Li Xuan stood beside the stone table in the garden, with candles burning in the angry lantern beside her.

There was a teapot placed in the center of the stone table. There were bursts of steam rising from the two cups of hot tea everywhere, rising directly into the air.

Li Xuan looked far away at the sky with twinkling stars in the southeast and frowned involuntarily.

One hand was pressed on the table, five fingers tapping rapidly.

Very rhythmic, seems to be calculating something.

Wang Bo sat on one side and stopped drawing lines on the map. Seeing Li Xuan's appearance, he asked in surprise: "My lord, is there anything wrong?"

"The plan we are waiting for needs to be adjusted." Li Xuan pressed her temples, shook her head, and said, "Send a letter to Governor Wang and ask him to send someone over as soon as possible. If it is late, the opportunity will be missed."

"Opportunity?" Wang Bo was a little confused.

He followed Li Xuan's gaze and saw that in the distant night sky, the stars were dotted and extremely bright.

However, there was no trace of moonlight.

"Does the prince still watch the sky at night?" Wang Bo felt a little funny for a moment, but then he thought of Li Xuan's identity.

As everyone knows, the prince of Nanchang County was a disciple of Wei Xuanzang, the King of Medicine.

However, many people have overlooked that Medicine King Wei Xuanzang is a direct disciple of Qingyang Temple in Chengdu.

The prince of Nanchang County is also a direct disciple of Qingyang Temple.

It is normal for Taoist disciples to know one or two skills of observing the sky at night.

"How can I know the art of observing the sky at night?" Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh, looked at Wang Bo and said, "Mr. Zian also knows that I practice water-based techniques.

I am most sensitive to changes, so I paid a little attention."

"So, is it going to rain? And it's going to rain heavily?" Wang Bo vaguely guessed something.

"Who knows, this rainy thing will happen today and change tomorrow, and there are countless things that can happen." Li Xuan casually brought up the topic, and then asked in a low voice: "The terrain of Meiling Pass is high in the south and low in the north.

, but the mountain road is narrow and it is difficult for the cavalry to charge and kill, but if we just give up this advantage, I will not be able to bear it."

"It's a pity that there is no big enough lake near Meiling Pass, otherwise the prince would be able to use his old trick of flooding three thousand miles." Wang Bo couldn't help but laugh.

After following Li Xuan for such a long time, Wang Bo already had enough understanding of Li Xuan's best methods.

Qiu Zhenmu and his group of Qianniu Guards had said more than once that Li Xuan had used similar methods more than once in Longlin Palace and Yunshao Courtyard in the divine capital, and later in Yangzhou.

But when it comes to Wuzhou, it's hard for Li Xuan to use this method...

Wait, it rains, water vapor, and water floods three thousand miles?

"Your Majesty..." Just as Wang Bo was about to ask something, a rush of footsteps came from outside.

Li Zhu quickly came in from the outside. When he saw Li Xuan, he quickly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Qian Ye, the seventh son of the Qian family, is here to visit."

"Yes." Li Xuan nodded calmly, and then said: "Ask someone to come in."

"Qian Ye, he's not in Zhoucheng, why are he here?" Wang Bo asked subconsciously.

"Of course it's to find a way out." A sneer appeared on Li Xuan's lips.

"A way out?" Wang Bo was really surprised. He stood up and looked at Li Xuan: "Who wants them to die...Is it Governor Wang?"

"How could the Qian family not see the problem that even Mr. Wang can see? If they don't come to me today, I'm afraid I will really suspect that they will try to assassinate me again." Li Xuan said long and hard. He made a sound, and then said: "Fortunately, they are here!"

Li Xuan looked at Wang Bo, pointed to the inner courtyard at the back, and said, "Sir, please take shelter in the house temporarily, and then listen to what Qian will say."

"Follow the order!" Wang Bo quickly handed over his hands, then turned around and entered the room with a hint of surprise on his face.

The King of Nanchang actually allowed him to observe such a matter.

…

Li Xuan was sitting at the stone table. Qian Ye, wearing a dark blue rippled robe, approached respectfully, and at the same time cupped his hands and said, "Qian Ye has met the county prince Qianqiu."

Li Xuan nodded gently and asked, "Where did Qi Lang come from?"

"Reporting to the prince, the two hundred crossbows found earlier have been sorted out. Now they are accompanied by 20,000 crossbow arrows, sent to support the front line." Qian Ye stood still, then raised his hands to Li Xuan and said respectfully: "My brother asked Qi Lang to send them Come, I hope that the prince will win the battle and completely wipe out the enemy invaders."

"Qian Sikou is interested." Li Xuan smiled calmly and said: "Qian's intentions are very sincere. I know what your brother wants to ask. Go back and tell your brother that when the war stops, the governor Wang should be promoted and let him Don’t worry, but…”

"Your Majesty, please give me some advice." Qian Ye quickly handed over his hand and asked for advice.

It is indeed a good thing for Wang Fanglin to leave Wuzhou, but that may not necessarily be the case if he gets promoted.

"Wuzhou needs stability. Governor Wang will not do anything rashly. I also hope that Qian will not do anything rashly.

Although no one will be pursuing the previous incident for the time being, something is going to happen. If the slightest hint of news comes out, the Qian family will be in danger of being destroyed...

Although the Wang family is under suspicion in this dynasty, no one knows what the future will bring... After all, there are five surnames and seven families!" Li Xuan sighed with emotion and waved her hand.

Five surnames and seven families have been inherited from the Pre-Qin Dynasty to the present. Over the course of thousands of years, the family has continued to prosper. Even if there are occasional downturns, they will pass quickly.

Nowadays, although the Wang family in Taiyuan is not popular because of the king and queen, this is only for this dynasty. The emperor and queen are quite old, and the prince Li Xian is in good health and has a reputation as a virtuous person. In the future...

The Qian family is also one of the aristocratic families, and they know the risks here better than anyone else.

"Please give me some advice, Your Majesty." Qian Ye bowed deeply again.

In Wuzhou, the Qian family had nothing to worry about. Even if Wang Fanglin was the governor, it would only make the Qian family uncomfortable at most.

What is really scary is the Taiyuan Wang family behind Wang Fanglin, as well as the five surnames and seven families, and the network of relationships is intricate.

Not to mention anything else, anyone who knows enough about Prince Peng will know his relationship with the Wang family.

Wang Fanglin tried his best, but the most he could do was to severely injure the Qian family. But if the Taiyuan Wang family took action, even if it took decades of hard work, the Qian family would definitely be wiped out.

In this way, Qian could no longer act rashly.

Li Xuan put his right hand on the table and knocked it lightly. What he needed to do now was to reassure Qian.

Once Qian realizes that there is no hope for the future, it will be difficult to take risks again.

"The Qian clan is a local powerful clan." Li Xuan said this, paused for a moment, and then continued: "However, the clan leader only has the rank of eighth-grade Sikou, which is too low. If I can find an opportunity to mention it more, That will definitely be a good thing for Qian... If Qian works hard on this matter, I may be able to deal with it."

After finishing speaking, Li Xuan began to ponder, as if she had an idea.

Qian Ye looked at Li Xuan cautiously, frowned, and then cupped his hands and said: "This matter still needs to be decided by the eldest brother, but in any case, thanks to the prince for your concern, Qi Lang will retire."

"Qilang, go slowly, I won't send you away!"

Qian Qilang's face showed a trace of solemnity, and then he quickly turned around and left.

Just after Qian Qilang left, Li Zhu came back and then handed over to Li Xuan.

"Keep an eye on him. I will know every move he makes in Yanxi tonight." Li Xuan waved his hand.

Li Zhu bowed slightly, then turned and left without saying a word.

At this time, Wang Bo walked in, then looked at Li Xuan with doubts and asked: "Your Majesty, although Qian has a criminal record, why are you and the prince so wary of Qian?"

"Private soldier." In just two words, Li Xuan revealed the fundamental reason why he was worried about the Qian family.

Li Xuan turned his head and looked in the direction of the city and said in a deep voice: "The Shen family has Shen Jishi, and considering the future of Shen Jishi, they will not mess around; the Teng family is from a scholarly family, and has always worked hard in the county school, state school and Imperial College. , will not and do not have the ability to act recklessly. The Yang family is in a big crisis for the first time, and it is too late to protect themselves. Only the Qian family..."

There was a hint of fear in Li Xuan's eyes.

The Qian family not only has the largest number of private soldiers in Wuzhou, but also weapons casting, and even a gold mine behind them. There is nothing they can't do.

The only people that Li Xuan and Wang Fanglin were really afraid of were the Qian family's private soldiers.

With money, soldiers and wealth, the Qian family was already the first in Wuzhou.

"I really can't figure it out. Qian Sikou is not stupid, so why doesn't he take the right path?" Li Xuan shook her head and sighed softly.

There are people in the Qian family who have money and soldiers, but for some unknown reason, they just refuse to develop their official careers.

If there was a governor in Qian's family, no, even if he was a county magistrate, he would not always be forced to take a clandestine path instead of taking revenge in the officialdom.

For a wealthy family to truly gain a foothold in the world, apart from being able to communicate with the wealthy family locally, the most important thing is to have the right to report to the central government.

In this way, whether you are being beaten or hitting others, you will have enough say to shut others up.

But Qian has neither of these two things.

The only one they were really looking at was the King of Yue.

The Qian family will not rebel, but they may not assassinate the governor again.

If they really wanted to push them to the limit, they would definitely stab Li Xuan in the back, killing Li Xuan and hundreds of his men at the hands of the Tianyin Sect at the same time.

It is always difficult for people to trust people who have criminal records.

In particular, Qian Zhe always likes to be reserved when doing things, but he also likes to be in control of everything.

"How can the official career be so easy?" Wang Bo sighed with emotion and said with a wry smile: "Even the most talented people have many ups and downs in their official career."

Li Xuan knew that Wang Bo was talking about himself, but at this moment Li Xuan shook his head and said: "Even if it is difficult to make any progress, it is better to work hard on this road than to act recklessly on other roads... The Qian family If everyone in the family is focused on their official careers, no one will worry about them coming here randomly."
