Chapter 0260 Intensifying Contradiction

"Good water nature" fisherman and his son praised in a low voice.

Of course Li Zhen knew that Di Yan was superior to his abilities and light skills. He was really worried and took out his bow and arrow and jumped onto the temple island. The young fisherman also followed him to the island.

"Don't worry, there are many undercurrents and reefs under the water here. If our boat cannot pass by, they will not come."

Hearing that there were reefs and undercurrents below, Li Zhen was even more worried. He secretly regretted that he had known that he would have insisted not to let her go. At this moment, he saw sparks flashing on the island ahead and it was destroyed in an instant. Li Zhen was very happy. This was the signal they had agreed to, Di Yan came ashore, and he felt a little relieved.

Although Di Yan encountered two undercurrents, she was very watery and used her body's agility to quickly get rid of the undercurrents and quickly got ashore. She knocked out a little spark with the flint hidden around her waist and ran towards the depths of the dense forest.

There were originally a large forest on the island, but due to the army stationed, many of them have been cut down. Some of the small animals such as deer, grass deer, hare, etc. that live on the island have been killed, and only a large number of water birds live in. However, Di Yan is agile and smart, and runs all the way, but does not alarm any water birds and gradually approaches the center of the island.

Yangzi Island was later Yangzhong. However, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was not much silt in the Yangtze River. This large island was not yet connected to the north shore and became an isolated island in the Yangtze River. It looked like a fan and was circumference of ten miles.

Di Yan gradually approached a hill, and suddenly she heard someone talking. In desperation, she jumped up, climbed up a big branch, and turned her body to the big tree, and attached it tightly to the tree. The black tight water blended into the big tree. It was difficult to find her without looking carefully.

A few patrol soldiers came over with a lazy spirit, and only one person said, "It was time to send money yesterday, why didn't you make any noise? Bian Laowu, you are familiar with the superiors, what's going on?"

"I'm so familiar, ask me, who else can I go? Anyway, if we don't pay, we won't live. If we really can't do it, we will go home. We have made a lot of money in a year of military service."

"It's right. I heard that there is a war. I said we should take it easy and give it to you for this little money. It's not worth it."

Several soldiers muttered and walked away. Di Yan waited for their backs to disappear before jumping up the tree and running towards the hill. The hill was at best a mound, only three or four feet high, but it was a mile long. Di Yan stood on the top of the hill and looked down. A large military camp appeared at the foot of the mountain. It was surrounded by camp bars, and there were neat tents in the middle, with hundreds of tops.

Li Zhen has been waiting for almost an hour on the Temple Island, but Di Yan has never come back. He is very nervous and keeps staring at the dark Yangzi Island. The young fisherman next to him is also a little anxious, "That girl won't have anything to do."

Li Zhen shook his head gently, "If she is discovered, there will be movement on the island, and it should be nothing."

Having said that, Li Zhen himself had no idea. Yangzi Island was too big. Even if Di Yan was captured, he might not be able to see it here. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the shore not far away. Li Zhen's heart jumped suddenly and asked in a low voice: "A Yan, is it you?"

"Follower, of course it's me," Di Yan responded coquettishly.

Li Zhen was overjoyed, rushed up and hugged Di Yan's petite body in his arms. Seeing that the young fisherman was also running, Di Yan quickly pushed Li Zhen away and smiled and said, "I'm fine, it's very smooth. Let's go back first."

The three of them returned to the boat, Li Zhen and Di Yan entered the cabin, and the fisherman and his son slowly left the temple island and sailed towards Jiangyang County, the north bank.

In the cabin, Di Yan whispered: "Turn around"

Li Zhen knew she was going to change her clothes, so he quickly turned around and heard the sound of taking off her clothes from behind. Di Yan took off her wet water and put on her dress. Seeing that he was very honest, she didn't peek at her, she smiled with satisfaction: "It's OK."

Li Zhen turned around and held her hand. Di Yan whispered: "Don't you want to listen to me telling about the situation on the island?"

Li Zhen shook his head, hugged her in his arms again, and kissed her smooth forehead. Di Yan's body shook slightly, but she didn't push him away. Li Zhen seemed to have received a hint, so he mustered up his courage, his lips slowly slid down, and found her delicate red lips. Before she could react, her hot lips pressed on her face. Di Yan's face suddenly turned red, and she shyly buried her head in his arms, protesting in a low voice like a mosquito sang: "You are not allowed to bully me."

Li Zhen knew that she was very thin and did not dare to continue Hu Wei. He was satisfied and hugged her in his arms and slowly warmed her cold body with his body temperature. Di Yan did not push him away and snuggled in his arms and laughed quietly: "Li Yuanjia may have drunk too much wine and forgot to pay the soldiers' salaries. The soldiers complained. Fortunately, it was in the river, otherwise how many people would have run away."

Li Zhen hugged the gentle beauty, and was already distracted. He didn't care about Li Yuanjia's army, as long as Di Yan didn't run away from his arms.

In front of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion, a carriage slowly stopped, and a young and thin man walked out of the carriage. His pale face and slender eyes flashed with a terrifying light. This person was Jian Dongxi, the leader of the Goryeo Restoration Congress. After failing to assassinate Li Xian in Cheng County, they fled back to Luoyang. Under the protection of Wu Sansi, they escaped from the liquidation and investigation of the Tang Dynasty court.

In fact, the "Restoration of the National Assembly is just the internal name of the Goguryeo people themselves. In the Tang Dynasty, their public name was the Goryeo Mutual Aid Association, which was nominally helpful to the Goguryeo people to adapt to the life of the Tang Dynasty. It was acquiesced by the court and was barely considered a legal organization.

Not only that, Goryeo's revival of the parliament was also closely attached to Wu Sansi, willing to become Wu Sansi's lackey and work hard for him in exchange for shelter, but at the same time, it also secretly worked hard to revive Goguryeo.

The task of Goryeo's resumption of the parliament was to provoke civil strife in the Tang Dynasty. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Tang Dynasty's civil strife and having no time to take care of the border, rebuilding the Kingdom of Goguryeo. After the failure of the assassination of Li Xian, Jian Dongxi lurked in Luoyang for a period of time. As the incident of Xingtang Association gradually expanded, Jian Dongxi saw the opportunity to provoke civil strife in the Tang Dynasty and took the initiative to volunteer to go to Yangzhou to act.

Wu Sansi happened to not want to send the general to participate in this matter. Jian Dongxi's volunteering hit his mind. The two hit it off and Jian Dongxi led the elite warriors to Yangzhou to act in a situation.

Wu Sansi gave Jian Dongxi the task of forcing the Xingtang Association to rebel and create an excuse for Wu Zetian to completely suppress the Li royal family, which coincides with Goryeo's mission to restore the parliament.

A housekeeper took Jian Dongxi and quickly walked into the prefect's mansion and went to Lin Qing's outside study. The housekeeper bowed and said, "Please wait, my son, I'll report to the prefect now."

Jian Dongxi looked at Lin Qing's study curiously. It was just an external study, mainly used to receive important guests, and there were no confidential documents. He took a roll of maps from the bookshelf and slowly unfolded them. This is an ordinary Yangzhou commercial map, with many important stores marked on the map, which can be bought on the market. Jian Dongxi wanted a military map of the southeast of the Tang Dynasty, which had military camps and garrisons, but unfortunately there was no one in the study.

At this time, a light cough came from behind him. Jian Dongxi turned around and saw the prefect Lin Qing appear behind him. He quickly returned the map to his original position and bowed to his tribute, "I will meet the envoy Lin."

Lin Qing had had several dealings with the Goguryeo people, and he did not like these Goguryeo people from the bottom of his bones, especially the Goguryeo warrior who temporarily lived in his mansion two days ago left the station without authorization and appeared near his study. Although they also participated in the capture of the intruders, Lin Qing was still extremely dissatisfied.

If Wu Sansi hadn't ordered him to assist Goguryeo warriors, he wouldn't have paid any attention to them. Lin Qing said coldly: "Please sit down, please."

Lin Qing sat down, Jian Dongxi sat down without hesitation. He bowed and smiled, "I heard that an assassin sneaked into the mansion a few days ago, and the prefect was frightened."

Lin Qing knew that he was reminding himself that it was his people who discovered the assassin and protected him. Lin Qing was very disgusted with this kind of approach of seeking credit. He did not take on this topic and took a sip of tea and asked, "I heard that Lai Junchen's people are also in Yangzhou. Have you found them?"

"Report to Prefect Lin, our people found Hou Sizhi in a brothel in Nanshi, Yangzhou. I have sent someone to closely monitor him."

Seeing that they were quite efficient in their work, Lin Qing asked a little more slowly, "And Li Zhen, he is also a difficult person to deal with, so you should also pay attention to him."

When Li Zhen was mentioned, a strong hatred surged in Jian Dongxi's heart. In Xiangcheng County, his people were killed and injured because Li Zhen's inner guard appeared in time. However, Jian Dongxi was a very cunning person. There was no hatred in his heart on his face, and he pretended to be stunned: "Is the envoy talking about the inner guard Li Zhen, is he also in Yangzhou?"

Lin Qing raised his eyelids, looked at him keenly, and said lightly: "Don't you know that Li Zhen is here too?"

Jian Dongxi shook his head hurriedly, "I really don't know, and His Highness Liang didn't tell me in advance."

Lin Qing sneered: "Since you are unwilling to admit it, I will pretend that you don't know. Li Zhen is a guard of Wu Yizong in name, but in fact he has made other plans in Yangzhou. He is now in Yangzhou City, so you'd better find him. Moreover, your assassination of Wu Yizong seems to have no effect. What are you going to do?"

Jian Dongxi had a stolen heart, and he smiled and said, "The reason why Emperor Wu Yizong refused to enter Yangzhou for a long time is because he was afraid that Li Yuanjia would attack him. Now he has a very strict defense and it is difficult to attack again. We can only change the direction and force Li Yuanjia to take action first, so I came to ask Prefect Lin for help."

Lin Qing was not like helping these Goguryeo people, but when he thought of Wu Sansi's order, he had to resist the disgust in his heart and said coldly: "How do you want me to help you."

"It's very simple. I hope that Prefect Lin can go to Jiangyang County again and help me give me a piece of information."
