"Your Highness, we have all kinds of weapons..."
Long Twelve's answer made Li Xiang feel a little confused for a moment. He originally thought that he could find some clues on these corpses, but he didn't expect that the other party was also a master and had all kinds of weapons.
Now it seems that we can only wait for the reply from the Nanzhao Royal City. Fortunately, there are carrier pigeons delivering messages along the way, so the speed is very fast.
"Your Highness, Lord Xiao has sent a letter."
Zhang Jiuli walked in from outside with Xiao Yu's handwritten letter in his hand. The letter did not say "His Highness personally wrote it", so according to the rules here, Zhang Jiuli, as Li Xiang's advisor, had the right to read the letter.
There are too many letters sent to Li Xiang every day. If Li Xiang has to read all the letters by himself, he will not even have time to eat or go to the toilet. Therefore, there must be someone around to help Li Xiang read these things. They can even reply to unimportant letters on Li Xiang's behalf. Only in this way can Li Xiang have some time for himself.
Xiao Yu had already prepared 5,000 cavalrymen near the border, and they were all highly combat-capable.
This was not what Li Xiang cared about. What Li Xiang cared about was another person, Xiao Yu. He had already questioned dozens of checkpoints near the border, and no one had seen anyone from Changsun Ze. Even if these people were disguised as businessmen, they would never be able to escape their eyes.
It is now basically certain that none of Chang Sunze's men crossed the border. If anyone had crossed the border, they should have gone to report to Xiao Yu's men. They are all old people who have followed Li Xiang, and naturally know how critical this matter is. They will never waste any time. One second earlier can let Li Xiang know about the crisis one second earlier, and then find a solution at a faster speed.
"Reply to Xiao Yu immediately and have him split up his men and cross the border thirty miles to check for any injured personnel."
Li Xiang said with some unwillingness to give up, if some of the injured people are too seriously injured, they may not be able to go to Sichuan, and they may recuperate in Nanzhao. If our people come to support them, they may be able to find some information. However, the probability of this is very small, but it does not mean that it does not exist.
When your strength is not strong enough, you may not do such things with a small probability. After all, you cannot spare so many people. But when your strength is strong enough, even if there is only a one percent chance, you can ask people to try to do it. In case there is a discovery, it can solve many problems.
Including the merchants around the official road, they all received orders from Li Xiang and were investigating carefully.
"Your Highness, we have news. On the day Chang Sunze left the royal city, one of our spies discovered something amiss. They said a group of people were heading north, but because their route was different from Chang Sunze's, although this news was reported, it did not attract the attention of our people."
Qian Ping came in hurriedly from outside. He was in charge of this line. Someone had already reported it at that time, but there were a lot of similar news within half a month. As long as the team had more than 20 people, these people would write a record.
Who would have thought that taking a different path would lead to such a big thing?
"Get up. This matter is not your fault. I also know about intelligence analysis. If we analyze every piece of intelligence like this, even if we increase our manpower tenfold, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it. You and Long Jiu should go there in person and make sure to get to the bottom of this matter."
Qian Ping has brains and Long Jiu has strength, so if these two go back and handle this matter, it should be foolproof.
"I will set off immediately, but we are still in Nanzhao territory and we don't know who our enemy is. I hope Your Highness will go to Sichuan in advance."
Before leaving, Qian Ping suddenly thought of another thing. Li Xiang is still in someone else's territory. It doesn't matter if anything happens to us. He is just a valuable servant. But if something happens to Li Xiang, it may cause huge changes in the world.
Even though Li Shimin disliked Li Xiang, he was certain that Li Xiang was his heir. If something happened to Li Xiang in such a land, an enraged Li Shimin might mobilize a large army to attack Nanzhao, and the entire country's defense policy would be affected. The current favorable situation...
"This eunuch is right. The enemy situation is unclear at the moment, so Your Highness should go to Sichuan first."
When Princess Yongping was speaking, Qian Ping noticed that the Princess of Nanzhao was here. The shock in his eyes was not concealed at all. However, since His Highness allowed Princess Yongping to be here, it proved that Princess Yongping was ours. When did His Highness make Princess Yongping ours?
"I will set off immediately. It is best to check all the post stations along the way. No one can get into trouble. Have them go into hiding for the time being. We will activate them after you find Chang Sunze. In addition, the current place is no longer usable."
Although we haven't found out which link the problem occurred in, people who work in intelligence must have a vigilant mentality. If they don't have such a mentality, they may be easily caught in the future.
Qian Ping and Long Jiu agreed, and then went out to check their men. After gathering everyone, they did not delay for even a minute and quickly rushed towards the south. The two of them split into two groups to avoid being surrounded on the way.
"Go to the side and take five hundred cavalrymen with them."
Li Xiang asked all the people to retreat, and then called out Hu San. At the same time, he took out 500 cavalrymen from the system and asked Hu San to follow behind. No matter what happened to Qian Ping and Long Jiu, these 500 cavalrymen should be able to handle it.
Li Xiang's men are divided into the twelve zodiac animals. The group under the tiger's control has the strongest combat effectiveness. Since the other party has drawn the sword, we will never give up. The people under my command will not die in vain. No matter you are the Buddha or the Nanzhao army, as long as you dare to attack my people, I will make you regret coming to this world.
