Chapter 211: The First Clues

"They have huge financial resources, and it is easy to buy off a few people in the court."

Li Yi heard this, but he didn't care very much.

What he cares about is whether they have defected to the court.

If that's the case.

He's really a bit of a tough one.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yi said directly, "Let's go to the Tai'an Chamber of Commerce tonight." ”

"Then the subordinate will arrange it immediately."

"Wait."

Li Yi stopped Dian Wei and said, "This matter is up to you and me and Xu Zhu to go, as for Yan Yun's eighteen horses, let them go to the Tongbao Chamber of Commerce and bring their young owner back to the villa for me." ”

Dian Wei, "Subordinates obey orders." ”

That's it.

It's night.

Li Yi and Xu Zhudianwei dressed up in disguise, sneaked out of the Muxi Tavern, and headed towards the Tai'an Chamber of Commerce.

With the skills of Xu Zhu and Dian Wei, they easily evaded the guards on patrol, and they wanted to go directly to Lin Yihai, the owner of the Tai'an Chamber of Commerce.

But by chance, I came to the meeting hall of the Tai'an Chamber of Commerce.

Just as Li Yi was about to wave his little hand and let Xu Zhu and Dian Wei go with him, there were figures shaking inside the dimly lit conference hall.

This made Li Yi stop.

He waved his little hand and pointed it at the beam.

Xu Zhu and Dian Wei understood, took Li Yi and jumped over, came to the beam, and crawled towards the place where the figure was.

After arriving, Li Yi listened attentively.

I could only see the sound of conversation below, which could be heard clearly.

"Lord, we have not received any envoys from the Japanese Kingdom today, and our subordinates have searched for more than a hundred miles along the road, but they have not found anything abnormal."

"I wrote yesterday, saying that it will come today, are these people playing tricks on me?!"

"The lord is angry, this time the envoys of the Japanese state came to Chang'an, the stakes are very high, it is impossible to play this matter, the subordinates guess, is it that they have an accident?"

"You're saying something happened to them?"

"No, it's impossible, no one knows about their actions this time, I received a secret letter yesterday, and it's impossible for someone to leak their whereabouts."

"Moreover, you have searched for more than a hundred miles, but you have not found any clues, which can only prove that they have not yet reached the boundary of Chang'an."

"If this is the case, why don't you send a secret letter to the Lord and send it over there to ask where the envoys they have sent have gone."

It can also indicate that the Lord has arrived at the appointed time and has not received anyone. If something happens to the envoys of the Japanese state, it has nothing to do with the lord. ”

"It's fine, but it's up to you, I'm going to see someone."

"Subordinates obey."

After a few staccato words, a figure disappeared from the council chamber.

The remaining figures, extinguishing the oil lamp, stepped away.

Li Yi, who was lurking on the beams of the house, frowned.

He didn't expect that the Tai'an Chamber of Commerce would actually collude with the Japanese state.

This reminded Li Yi of Ying Xue Yami's words, in Chang'an, the object of their collusion was Ge Lao Yu Wenrong.

Whether it's him or not, Li Yi isn't sure.

But from the mouth of the lord below, it was vaguely revealed that among the important ministers of the court, there must be someone who colluded with them.

At this time, Xu Zhu touched Li Yi, gestured with his hand a few times, and asked Li Yi if he would capture the two below and return them to the village.

Although they did not see the face clearly.

But when they go back, they will come to the Tai'an Chamber of Commerce again, and they will still be able to find people by relying on the different characteristics of their voices.

Li Yi shook his head.

At the moment, he didn't want to startle the snake.

Instead, he waved his little hand and asked Xu Zhu and Dian Wei to retreat with him.

So the three of them were like civets, returning the same way and coming to the outside of the Tai'an Chamber of Commerce.

Li Yi immediately made arrangements.

"Dian Wei, you're staring here."

"Xu Zhu, you go back and arrange for someone to come over, and keep an eye on all the people in and out of the Tai'an Chamber of Commerce for me, and be sure to find out the identities of the two people who spoke."

"Also, arrange for someone to see if they can follow the two of them, and I want to know who they are sending this secret letter to."

"Subordinates obey."

Xu Zhu and Dian Wei nodded in unison.

Xu Zhu turned around and left, without asking Li Yi why he didn't go back with him.

Because the general does things with his own measure.

Li Yi also stepped away, and removed the veil on his face, and also took off the black clothes on his body, revealing the tattered clothes inside.

and disguised as a little beggar.

His purpose is the Iron Blood.

Not to mention.

With his appearance, along the way, there were many kind-hearted people who brought him food, and their eyes were full of pity.

made Li Yi extremely speechless.

Come to the Iron Blood.

Li Yi rode at the tiger and leopard guarding the gate and threw a stone.

caused the tiger and leopard rider to look up.

But in the next moment, his eyes flashed with horror.

Because he saw Li Yibi make a few movements.

This is the secret language that Li Yi's generals only knew.

Probably, take me to your general secretly.

The tiger and leopard ride did not dare to be careless.

Hurriedly came to Li Yi's side, and after a few glances, he took Li Yi into the Iron Blood Waiting Mansion without alarming anyone.

As for the eyeliner in the house, it is even more unlikely that they will find Li Yi.

Because they are all under the control of Zhao Yun and the others.

You want them to know the news, so they can know the news.

No, they don't hear any news.

The spies outside the Houfu were deliberately exposed by Li Yi.

When the tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers took Li Yi to the small courtyard of Zhao Yun and other generals, it happened that Zhao Yun and several people were here to learn martial arts.

The tiger and leopard rode out, "Report, generals, this little brother wants to see you." ”

"Oh."

Hearing this, the generals looked sideways and saw Li Yi's appearance, and their pupils shrank sharply.

Then he said quietly, "Leave this little brother, you go down first." ”

"Humble resignation."

After the tiger and leopard cavalry left, Zhao Yun and the other generals immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Li Yi and shouted excitedly, "Meet the general." ”

"Long time no see, are you alright?"

Li Yi waved his little hand and motioned for them to get up.

With a word, the crowd fluctuated and said,

"There are a few generals at the end, they have eaten well and slept soundly during this time, but they miss the general a lot."

"Yes, General, there is no battle now, we are all idle, I knew that I would go with the General that day."

"That's right, but it was preempted by Xu Zhu and Dian Wei, I regret it."

"General, you came alone today, but you have something important to tell us?"

In the end, Zhao Yun was calm, his eyes looked at Li Yi, full of doubts.

"Not bad."

Li Yi nodded, and then said, "I have two things to explain to you face to face. ”

"The first is that tomorrow Your Majesty will summon you and reward you as the commander of the Twelve Guards of Chang'an."

"What you have to do is to promise to come down and turn the twelve guards of Chang'an into your own soldiers for me, and only listen to the orders of the general and His Majesty."

"Can you do that?"

"The last general will definitely be able to complete the mission!"

Seeing that Zhao Yun and the others were full of confidence, Li Yi did not question it.

Because they are all top generals, it is easy to train soldiers.

"Okay, and the second thing is that there are courtiers who come to woo you, and you can take refuge in them half-pushing."

"But remember, the military power in your hands can't fall into their hands, pay attention to your usual words and deeds, and when the general gives the order, you will swing your sword and cut it!"
