C616 South of the Yangtze River Rebel Army
Wai Yu woke up from his drunken stupor. His eyes were already clear, and he no longer looked like he had gone crazy from his drunken stupor.
This changed Yang Xuan's impression of Wai Yu. As someone who came from the royal family, just as Lan Fenghuang had said, everyone was just a chess piece in their eyes. However, Yang Xuan did not seem to care about what others thought of him. After all, he had never thought of climbing up to anyone.
Lan Fenghuang decided to go back to Caiyi Street to stroll around, while Wai Yu chose to find a place to rest. The two of them bid each other farewell for a short while.
Caiyi Street was still bustling with people. No matter where these people came from, or what kind of experiences they had, in the eyes of outsiders, it was just a display of what they had seen.
...
After an afternoon, Yang Xuan suddenly regretted his decision to go shopping with Yuh Qingcheng. A Caiyi Street was less than two miles from the south to the north. Yang Xuan suddenly felt that this distance was as long as two worlds.
It had to be said that the friendship between women sometimes came very strangely. After Yuh Qingcheng and Lan Fenghuang made the same evaluation of a certain clothing, the relationship between the two quickly heated up. It was as if they had been good friends for many years.
As for Yang Xuan, other than being a mobile wallet, he could only silently follow behind the two girls and help them take things.
There were more than two hundred shops on the two-mile road of Caiyi Street, and almost every shop had a different style.
From all sorts of exotic dresses, to Luo Shang who was dressed in Luo Shang's clothes, to Luo Shang who was playing the melody of the house, as well as all sorts of clothes and colorful dresses, Yang Xuan was dazzled by what he saw.
What made Yang Xuan feel lucky was that he still had the Spirit Pagoda. It didn't matter if the space was big or small. Otherwise, those big and small bags of clothes would be enough to give him a headache.
Lan Fenghuang was looking at a long red dress. This woman with the surname blue had a completely opposite interest in red. Yuh Qingcheng, who was standing at the side, was also continuously giving suggestions.
At this moment, Lan Fenghuang's expression suddenly changed. She stopped talking with Yuh Qingcheng and took out a spiritual talisman from the storage bag that was close to her. Her slender fingers picked up the spiritual talisman and the spiritual talisman burned in the air.
This spiritual talisman was not unfamiliar to Yang Xuan and Yuh Qingcheng.
This was a spiritual talisman used to transmit messages. It was usually used together. Cultivators sealed what they wanted to say into the spiritual talisman and then used the Spiritual Force to burn it. The spiritual talisman would automatically transmit the voice to another spiritual talisman in the pair.
The spiritual talisman that Lan Fenghuang had burned earlier represented that someone had sent a message to Yang Xuan.
"Yang Xuan, can you come out with me for a moment?"
Although Yang Xuan was a little puzzled, he glanced at Yuh Qingcheng. After seeing Yuh Qingcheng nod her head, he still followed Lan Fenghuang out of the store.
The two of them came to a place with no one around. Lan Fenghuang took out another spiritual talisman. She handed it to Yang Xuan and said to him, "Something happened in Jiangnan. Wai Yu wants to borrow some people from you. As for the specific situation, you can listen to it yourself!"
Yang Xuan received the spiritual talisman with suspicion. He activated the Spiritual Force and the spiritual talisman started burning in his hand. Wai Yu's voice also came out of the spiritual talisman. "Phoenix, news came from the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion. The Jiangnan Imperial Censor and the Zhu family behind him secretly withheld the tax and did not hand it over. They even detained the people sent by the palace to plot a rebellion. Help me find Yang Xuan and ask him to borrow some military strength. I was in an emergency when I went out this time, so I didn't bring any military seal with me. He's the only one who can help me."
"This..."
Yang Xuan's expression was a little strange. It wasn't because there was a rebellion in Great Wei, but... "
If he remembered correctly, a few days ago, Zhang Tianci had told Yang Xuan that he wanted to go to Jiangnan. The reason he wanted to go to Jiangnan was because he had not paid the tax.
The Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion was an organization used by Great Wei to collect information, and it could be considered as a spy organization on the surface. This organization had great authority in Great Wei. Except for nobles with different surnames like Yang Xuan, who had already been conferred the title of Marquis. It had the right to kill most of the officials in the Great Wei before reporting to the higher-ups.
The origin of this organization was very mysterious, as if it was organized by a genius in the Great Wei in the past.
Now that the Zhu family of Jiangnan was plotting a rebellion, Zhang Tianci must have been involved in it as well. As for Zhang Tianci, he was personally promoted by Xu Ruxian. Even if it was to give Xu Ruxian some face, Yang Xuan would still go.
The situation was urgent. Because he was worried about Zhang Tianci, Yang Xuan asked Lan Fenghuang to reply to Wai Yu's letter and ask him to go to the Guard of Lo Capital's military camp now.
In the military camp, Yang Xuan met the commander of Guard of Lo Capital, Chen Zhihu.
Because of the special circumstances, Yang Xuan explained the specific situation to Chen Zhihu as quickly as possible. When Wai Yu arrived, he handed the general's order to Wai Yu.
Everyone immediately set off, leading a hundred thousand strong army towards Jiangnan.
The Zhu family of Jiangnan, which was the same family that Yang Xuan had bought fifty thousand armaments from when he was collecting weapons for Profound Gate Pass, had learned from Ding Dian that they were from the Jiangnan family that bought fifty thousand armaments from Myriad Treasure Pavilion.
The Zhu family had a huge influence in the Jiangnan area, and they had even done business with the smuggler, Salt, in the past. This was supposed to be a felony of being executed by the entire family, but after the incident, they were actually suppressed by someone. After finding a few scapegoats from the family and pushing them out, they were beheaded. The storm was settled.
And the person behind all of this was the younger brother of the Zhu family's patriarch, Zhu Qian.
Zhu Qian was the Southern River's imperial censor. He had once followed Emperor Wai and personally led the army. After he was conferred the title of Jiangnan Censorate's Censor, he had been acting tyrannically in the Jiangnan Road. However, because of his old relationship with Emperor Wai, most people in the court turned a blind eye to him. Only prime minister Xu, who was now at the height of his power, had come forward to warn him.
However, he didn't expect that Zhu family would dare to do such a bold thing.
Jiang'an City was the most prosperous city in the Jiangnan Road, and the Zhu family lived in this city.
When Yang Xuan followed Wai Yu and led the army to the city gate of the Jiang'an City, he had already noticed that something was not right.
There were nearly ten sentry posts along the way from the neighboring city.
One should know that this was the land under the Son of Heaven's feet. There were so many sentry posts here. Either this place was in chaos, or someone was plotting something.
All these signs indicated that something was wrong in Jiang'an City.
At the city gate, Yang Xuan waved his hand behind him. The soldiers behind him also stopped. It was still noon, but the city gate of Jiang'an City was actually tightly shut. It was truly inconceivable.
"Who are you? Tell me your name."
A bearded man stopped Yang Xuan after seeing him and asked.
