Chapter 459 A mutation occurs and murderous intent finally arrives
In the empty cabin, Zhu Si sat on the board with disheveled hair, his eyes dull and motionless, but he didn't know what he was muttering.
The wrinkled black robe was draped casually around his body, looking slovenly as he hadn't tidied it up in several days.
The hatch opened, sunlight poured in, and two figures walked in from the outside.
Zhu Si looked up in a daze. The first thing he saw was Yuan Chao. His fists clenched tightly and his whole body immediately jumped forward, as if the next moment, he would jump directly towards Yuan Chao.
But for some reason, he stopped abruptly.
Li Xuan stood behind and felt a little surprised when she saw this scene.
Zhu Si didn't have any restraints on his body, but he seemed to be afraid of something and wanted to pounce, but finally stopped.
"Brother Zhu!" Yuan Chao bowed and saluted, and then said in a deep voice: "The agreement with the court has almost been reached. To show his sincerity, the prince of Nanchang County personally came to the ship to appease the soldiers. In a while, we will set off.
For those brothers who have gone to Sanheguan and are willing to abandon their weapons and return to the fields, the court will allocate acres of land for them to live in, and those who are willing to join the army, the court will also bind them into the army..."
"Then go attack the main altar?" Zhu Si raised his head and stared at Li Xuan.
This old man in his fifties, with half gray and half white hair, and a face full of wrinkles, looked at Li Xuan with eyes full of hatred.
Li Xuan shook his head directly and said: "The imperial court will not let the Muzhou Navy attack the Tianyin Sect General Altar. Even if they are used, 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 Si's face immediately showed waves of coldness.
Li Xuan frowned and looked sideways at Yuan Chao.
"Zhu Xiaowei once served in the Hangzhou Navy. After the riots twenty years ago, he left the Hangzhou Navy. The Muzhou Navy was established earlier and his best disciples were used up and down." Yuan Chao said a little to Li.
Xuan explained two sentences.
Li Xuan somewhat understood why Zhu Si could still control the navy even though he was not a direct descendant of the Tianyin Sect like Zhang Wanyu and Wen Fuzhi. This was the reason.
"It's a pity that I trusted the wrong person." Zhu Si gritted his teeth and glared at Yuan Chao, his eyes filled with blood 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 Si and his apprentices are the backbone of the entire navy.
But except for Zhu Si, all his apprentices were killed by Yuan Chao when he took control of the navy.
"Where's Fang Fengjin, where has he gone?" Zhu Si suddenly turned to look at Li Xuan, with a trace of anger in his eyes.
"Who knows, maybe he went back to Muzhou, or maybe he got lost somewhere." Li Xuan looked very calm.
"Maybe he is dead?" Zhu Si's breathing suddenly became heavy.
After Fang Fengjin's defeat at Meiling Pass, it was impossible to leave a force like the Navy that could make a comeback untouched.
Unless, he is already dead!
Yuan Chao, who was standing aside, couldn't help but look a little gloomy, but then he became firm.
"Maybe." Li Xuan didn't show any expression. He looked at Zhu Si calmly: "I came here just to know what Zhu Xiaowei's plans will be in the future. Whether he wants to join the imperial court or whether he wants to disband and return to the countryside. I can
Call the shots."
In the final analysis, Zhu Si was just a navy captain. His status in the Tianyin Sect was nominally far inferior to that of Yuan Chao.
The word "Pushe" is enough to explain Yuan Chao's status in Tianyin Sect.
"Kill me." Zhu Si suddenly closed his eyes, raised his head, and looked like he was begging for death.
"Sir, you are too worried. How could I attack you? If you don't want to, I can find a place for you to teach and pass away. It is much better than being unable to move now." Li Xuan's tone was sincere, but her expression was strange.
Very indifferent.
Although Zhu Si regretted surrendering, he was still very useful, and Li Xuan didn't want to kill him now.
"I won't help you." Zhu Si suddenly turned around, not wanting to see Li Xuan at all now.
"It doesn't matter." Li Xuan shook his head and said, "The Tianyin Sect's affairs are over. All that's left is to kill them all. Why use Mr. Lao Lao."
Zhu Si was suddenly stunned and looked at Li Xuan in surprise: "It's over?"
"With the return of the navy, the city of Muzhou can be moved down the river. Without the backyard, even if the queen has made some progress in Shezhou, it will be a dead end in the end. As for Hangzhou Prefecture, the three Bai brothers are dead, and the Zhoushan pirates are
Something happened, what does it have to do with the Tianyin Sect?" Li Xuan looked very calm.
After he finished speaking, Zhu Si immediately looked at Yuan Chao with disbelief: "Did you kill the three Bai brothers?"
Yuan Chao's face was dark. He glanced at Li Xuan, then nodded and said: "Last night, the three Bai brothers learned that they were not included in the agreement between me and the court, so they were angry and attacked me at night, but..."
"But you were prepared." Zhu Si gritted his teeth and looked at Yuan Chao.
How could a scheming guy like Yuan Chao leave such a huge hidden danger?
It is even very possible that the three Bai brothers knew that there was no news about them in the imperial agreement, and Yuan Chao deliberately let it out.
"What a pity." Li Xuan suddenly spoke at this time and sighed softly: "Originally, Yao Sima wanted to use these three people to find traces of the Zhoushan pirates. Now it seems that he can only find a way from other places. Mr. Yuan,
Later, please hand over all the documents carried by the three Bai brothers to my king, and I will see if I can find anything useful among them... I don't think it will be possible for Wen Fuzhi to succeed in Hangzhou without the Zhoushan pirates.
"
When Li Xuan said something, Zhu Si's expression immediately changed.
The original plan of the Tianyin Sect was very perfect and interlocked. As long as they succeeded, it would not take long to cause an uproar in the entire world. However, they failed to take the first step, causing everything that followed to break.
"The empress must eventually retreat to the Tianyin General Altar, but this time, there are too many people who know the location of the Tianyin General Altar, and she cannot escape."
Li Xuan turned to look to the northeast and seemed to vaguely understand something: "Perhaps she knew from the beginning that it would be difficult to succeed this time. Mr. Zhu, the only thing you can do to me is to think carefully about whether you know the queen.
Apart from the Tianyin General Altar, is there any backup hiding place?"
Zhu Si immediately looked at Li Xuan with wide eyes.
The meaning of Li Xuan's words was obvious, that is, the Empress had long been prepared to give up the association and move elsewhere, giving up everything she had worked hard for for more than 20 years.
If this is the case, then why did you start the uprising 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 and said imploringly: "Your Majesty, although Zhu Si is stubborn, he supported the official at the critical moment. I wonder if I can ask Your Majesty to spare his life and not to hand him over to the court."
On crime.”
"Where did Mr. Yuan go? Colonel Zhu Si has made extraordinary achievements and is praised by the world. How can I judge him?" Li Xuan's faint words made Yuan Chao's expression change.
Although Zhu Si was deceived by Yuan Chao, he was still loyal to the Tianyin Sect after all.
If it were reported at this time that he had betrayed the Tianyin Sect, not only would his reputation be ruined, but he himself would also be killed!
"My lord, I don't know..." Yuan Chao wanted to plead with Li Xuan to be open to Zhu Siwang, but he didn't know where to start.
Li Xuan waved her hand: "Okay, Mr. Yuan, let's leave this matter as it is for the time being. Go and get ready. In half an hour, we will set off for Sanheguan. I and a group of generals will be on the first boat. Others will
Each ship followed closely behind, and after arriving at Sanheguan, all the generals disembarked together, while the other ships went to Lanxi County for reorganization."
Separate the generals from the ordinary soldiers to completely kill the naval combat force.
Yuan Chao raised his head with a look of astonishment on his face, but under Li Xuan's eager gaze and pressure, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed.
Li Xuan nodded calmly, then got off the boat and took the boat to the big ship at the front.
The official ship Li Xuan came on blocked all the ships of the Muzhou Navy outside the entire Biwan exit.
He himself took the big ship with all the generals in the navy to suppress all hidden dangers.
Although a lot of effort was wasted, under Yuan Chao's command, the entire navy quickly started operating.
It didn't take long before we were ready to sail.
At this time, Li Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been worried that something unexpected would happen, causing Yuan Chao to suddenly turn against him at the last moment.
In that case, not only would the situation be irreversible, but he himself would become a hostage in Yuan Chao's hands.
Now everything is finally in order.
"Your Majesty, all preparations are complete." Yuan Chao brought Yuan Lin and some of his cronies to the big ship.
A green roster was held up high by Yuan Chao and placed in front of Li Xuan.
This roster contains the names of all the people and their whereabouts after the war.
Li Xuan took it with both hands in front of everyone, then looked at everyone gently and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, tonight, I will celebrate your success at Sanheguan!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone present bowed to Li Xuan at the same time.
As long as the imperial court approves this list, they will all become good people again.
The official ship slowly turned around and took the lead to leave Qinglong Bay.
Then the three-masted warship followed closely, and the more than 20 large ships behind also started.
To be continued...
