Chapter 460 Unexpected, General Manager of Wen University

The three-masted ship suddenly stopped in the middle of the Wujiang River. The wind stopped suddenly, and the strong inertia almost made Li Xuan unsteady.

Fortunately, he was very strong and could stand directly on the deck with his legs.

There was no handrail in front of the boat, so many other people fell over and flipped over due to this sudden incident. Several people even fell directly off the boat and fell into the water with a "plop".

This includes Zhou Qian and Su Baotong, who are standing at the front of the deck like Li Xuan.

And at this moment, everyone knows.

Something unexpected happened!

…

Yuan Chao looked at the clear river water below. He was just a few steps away from falling directly. Fortunately, a big hand caught him in time.

The force from above came and Yuan Chao was immediately pulled up.

As soon as he stood firm, Yuan Chao quickly took a step back and saluted Li Xuan, who was standing there, with some fear: "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty. I will go check it out immediately and see what's going on?"

"Go." Li Xuan watched Yuan Chao leave, then turned to look at Li Zhu and winked: "Go and take the boat to rescue Zhou Qian and Baotong."

"Here!" Li Zhu didn't hesitate at all, and immediately turned around and got off the boat to save people.

The three-masted ship stopped in the middle of the Wujiang River. The other ships behind it were slowly catching up at this time. They seemed to be showing signs of outflanking the ship, but the other people on their ship looked confused. look.

Turning their heads, they saw Li Xuan standing there gently, and their expressions relaxed.

No one knows exactly what happened, but as long as the King of Nanchang is still there, everything will be fine.

At this time, Yuan Ying came over, raised her hands to Li Xuan and said: "Reporting to the prince, this ship was originally a patrol ship of the Muzhou Water Department, and was later transformed into a warship. This ship looks very new, but in fact It has been thirteen years since I boarded the ship..."

"Don't be nervous, I can understand."

Li Xuan's voice was very calm. He smiled gently at Yuan Ying, with the attention of everyone present, and then asked casually: "Is Mr. Yuan married now? His parents..."

The Yuan family is a Taizhou family, and their ancestors are descendants of Situ Yuan An of the Han Dynasty.

Yuan An was born into the Yuan family, the fourth and third generation of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Yuan An had several great-great-grandsons, one of whom was named Yuan Shao and the other was named Yuan Shu.

Although the Yuan family in Taizhou are descendants of Yuan An, they are not descendants of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Li Xuan and Yuan Ying answered one-on-one, which made many people present calm down and couldn't help but think of home.

…

Yuan Chao anxiously went down to the bottom of the cabin. He would reach Sanhe Pass a few miles ahead.

As long as they arrive at Sanheguan, they will surrender to the imperial court.

When the time comes, even if Yuan Chao cannot retain the position of Sima of Wuzhou, he still believes that the imperial court will never be stingy with rewards.

Yuan Chao knew this very well, but he always wanted a bigger official position, so he kept procrastinating.

Although Li Xuan has not given a clear answer now, she has given hints overtly or covertly.

As long as Yuan Chao can help Li Xuan in the future, then Li Xuan will help him in many aspects.

This is already wooing.

Yuan Chao was able to recruit Cao Cao from one state to join the army, and he was not completely ignorant of the affairs of the court. Although the central government had tighter restrictions on the clan, the clan had a huge influence on both the government and the public.

Take Wuzhou as an example. Before Li Xuan arrived in Wuzhou, two clan members, Li Ai, the chief minister, and Li Yuanyi, a member of the Kucao army, had served in Wuzhou.

There are many similarities in other states, and later in Wuzhou, Li Xuan, the current prince, came to Wuzhou.

Therefore, you can get close to the clan, as long as you don't get too close.

Yuan Chao and Li Xuan are still in the stage of testing each other, and nothing else can be said.

But Yuan Chao wanted to get closer to the imperial court, but with his identity, family background, and status, he didn't have many choices.

…

Yuan Chao walked to the lower cabin full of displeasure, opened the door, and was about to speak out his words to scold him when dozens of eyes fell on him at the same time.

But at this moment, Yuan Chao had already firmly shut his mouth.

His eyes were fixed on the center of the crowd.

A handsome thirty-year-old Confucian scholar in blue silk clothes, holding an exquisite folding fan in his hand, was looking at him coldly, with murderous intent deep in his eyes.

"General Manager!" Yuan Chao called out the other person's title in a dry voice.

The Grand Steward, the real Grand Steward of the Tianyin Sect, the only Grand Steward, Wen Fuzhi.

He appeared in the lower cabin at Li Xuan's feet, quietly.

"Yuan Sima, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Wen Fuzhi took a step forward, and several guards in white suddenly appeared behind him.

"It didn't take long, only half..." Yuan Chao's mouth was already too nervous to open.

At this time, Wen Fuzhi came to Yuan Chao's side.

He patted Yuan Chao's shoulder gently and said with a half-smile: "Sima still has merit. Although he failed to break through Sanhe Pass in time, it was also a great achievement to lure the king of Nanchang, a troublesome enemy, to our own ship.

pieces.”

Yuan Chao's face twitched hard and he subconsciously looked upward, but the ship's plank directly covered his eyes.

"Now, please go immediately and tell the King of Nanchang to let all the generals and troops return to their warships." In one sentence, Wen Fu explained the reason why the warship suddenly stopped.

"The King of Nanchang will not agree. He separated the soldiers and generals to ensure that the navy could not pose a threat to Sanhe Pass. Once the soldiers and generals were separated, he would immediately know what was going on?" Yuan Chao's voice was a little dry, and then

He looked at Wen Fuzhi with a pleading look on his face.

Wen Fuzhi raised the corner of his mouth and said with a sneer: "Why, is Yuan Sima still reluctant to part with the generous salary given to him by the imperial court?"

"I don't dare. I forgive you, general manager. I have no choice but to contact the government and the army. The Meiling Pass army was destroyed. The King of Nanchang even sent a separate army to enter Jiande. The support was cut off. Even if the subordinates entered Wu

It's hard to do anything even in the state!" Yuan Chao's face was full of helplessness and pain.

The Tianyin Sect only has some old, weak, sick and disabled people left to defend the city in Muzhou, and all other troops that can be mobilized have been mobilized and left Muzhou.

Fang Fengjin, who was going to Meiling Pass, and Zhu Si, who was going to Sanhe Pass, should have cooperated with each other. However, Fang Fengjin's defeat immediately caused Zhu Si to become a lone army, unable to support himself alone.

It was precisely because of this that Yuan Chao was able to persuade Zhu Si to contact the army and surrender.

As soon as Zhu Si relented, Yuan Chao immediately took ruthless action, killing all Zhu Si's cronies, frightening others, and then completely taking control of the ship.

Wen Fuzhi's expression turned cold, he looked at Yuan Chao, and said coldly: "Yuan Sima is wrong, maybe. It was you who tried every means to interfere with the navy's advance, which led to the failure to break through Sanhe Pass in time, and the failure to fight with

Meiling Pass responded, which ultimately led to Fang Fengjin's failure all the way. The cause and effect cannot be reversed so casually, Yuan Sima?"

With that said, Wen Fuzhi slapped Yuan Chao directly on the shoulder with a strong palm.

In an instant, pain completely spread from Yuan Chao's shoulders, and he was unable to move.

The corners of Yuan Chao's mouth kept twitching, and the severe pain made him hold back all his words.

Yuan Chao knew that his deepest thoughts had been seen through by Wen Fuzhi, and there was nothing he could do to refute them.

Finally, after the pain subsided, Wen Fuzhi immediately nodded and said: "I obey the order and immediately arrange for the soldiers to return to the ship."

"Yeah!" Wen Fuzhi nodded slightly, then let go of Yuan Chao.

Yuan Chao immediately breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare to neglect at all. He raised his hands to Wen Fuzhi and turned around immediately.

Wen Fuzhi stared at Yuan Chao coldly, making him feel a chill running down his back.

After walking out of the bottom cabin, Yuan Chao was immediately stunned. Only then did he realize that several other warships had surrounded the ship behind it. On the deck, Li Xuan seemed not to notice anything and was still chatting leisurely with everyone.

With.

The strange thing is that almost no one in the team looked at the surrounding warships.

"My greatest hope is to gallop across Mobei and make great achievements. Unfortunately, the East and West Turks have been destroyed, so there is no chance!" Yuan Ying couldn't help but sigh.

Li Xuan shook his head and said solemnly: "You are in the southeast, and some things are not clear. The Western Turks have been unstable a few months ago. Your Majesty has sent Pingyang County Duke to be appointed as the governor of Daizhou and acting governor. With Pingyang County

With your temperament, I'm afraid there will be some bloodshed in Daizhou."

Pingyang County Duke Xue Li, courtesy name Rengui, Xue Rengui.

"Pingyang County Duke." Yuan Ying couldn't help but exclaimed, and then said with a wry smile: "If Pingyang County Duke moves, we will have no chance."

Xue Rengui was famous for his ruthless killings. He and Su Dingfang were the two most famous generals in the Tang Dynasty after Li Jing and Li Ji.

It is a pity that the defeat of Dafeichuan destroyed Xue Rengui's fame.

But even so, Xue Rengui is still the devil who silences countless children in Tujue and Tibet.

"Don't worry, there is a chance. It is said that Tubo has been colluding with the Turks. There are even rumors that the Tubo National Preceptor is the king of the Western Regions of the Tianyin Sect. The Tianyin Sect's uprising in the southeast is originally to echo the actions of the Tubo and the Turks. Yuan Sima, what do you think?

Isn't it?" Li Xuan raised her head and looked at Yuan Chao.

Yuan Chao slowed down a beat, then trembled inexplicably, and quickly raised his hands to Li Xuan and said: "I have never met the King of the Western Regions, so I don't know his true identity?"

"Don't be nervous." Li Xuan waved her hand directly and said: "There are many things that you don't need to see with your own eyes. Many things can be roughly guessed just by guessing."
