Although Li Yan couldn't figure out how this Gao Qiang figured out the deployment of the troops in these strongholds, according to this map, Li Yan also knew that this Gao defected to the enemy and treason, and it should be based on this map that he was able to negotiate with the Turks.

It was precisely because of this map that Li Yan also understood why this Turkic would take such a big risk to come to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. The purpose is for this map. With this map, when they invade the territory of the Tang Dynasty, they will have a lot less strength and a lot fewer deaths.

So for the sake of this map, it is worth taking risks in the territory of Datang. Because the rewards they will get when the time comes, they will be unimaginable.

Especially in the past few years, the northern region has been extremely cold, and people often freeze to death. It is precisely because of the cold that their cattle and sheep have also decreased sharply, and their pastures have decreased sharply, resulting in a shortage of food.

Therefore, I want to pay attention to this Datang, and I want to get some food, cloth, and a series of civilian goods from Datang. And, of course, more importantly, money. Although Datang has only been established for a short time.

But after several years of development, coupled with the fact that there have been no disasters in recent years, Datang is rich in products and the people have plenty of food and clothing, which makes those barbarians in the north extremely envious.

And this map, presumably, is that they want to occupy some territory, or just pull some food back to make up for the lack of food.

Otherwise, if this high power can't bring a little useful information, with the mercenary nature of the Turks, they will sit down with you and have a good talk? If I don't kill you, you can also be grateful to Dade.

Therefore, this high strength is at the price of this picture, so that they can gain a foothold in the Turks and be able to survive and develop, he believes that they are the strongest in battle, but the Tang Dynasty can't beat it. If you can fight it, how could you have been killed by someone on the bank of the Weishui River two years ago?

After Li Yan took a general look at the map, he put it back in the dark grid with the list, and everything was restored to its original state, looking as if it had not been moved, this was to prevent Gao Qiang from being suspicious.

Some people may ask, why didn't Li Yan copy these things? How is this possible, not to mention that this is originally the border map of the Tang Dynasty, how to lay it out, as the supreme ruler of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin is very clear, and when the time comes, he only needs Li Yan to say this, and naturally someone will adjust the deployment, which is still the situation of the Tang Dynasty that can leave smoothly in Gaoqiang.

If you can't leave Datang smoothly, even if this Gaoqiang feels the Datang defense clearly, it will be useless at all, and everything is empty talk. So there is no need for Li Yan to draw one.

In addition to this, Li Yan can't draw a map, if he is allowed to draw it, I am afraid that only he can know what is drawn, and he himself will not know what it is.

As for the list, Li Yan only needs to remember a few key figures, and the rest does not need to be remembered, he only needs to know how many people there are, and where they are approximately, and all actions will be in the hands of himself and others. So there is no need for such trouble, it is not better to be simpler.

Li Yan thought that he came here tonight purely to make soy sauce, but he didn't expect that there would be such a discovery, which was more important than the discovery of the secret passage. After all, it doesn't hurt to let Gao Qiang run, and if you don't know this map, it will be Datang who will suffer at that time, and it will be the people of Datang who will suffer.

After Li Yan put the things back, Chen Meng hadn't come out yet, so Li Yan had to be on the side and watch outside, continue to wait, and wait until Chen Meng came out, and then leave together.

After Chen Meng came out, it was the same as yesterday, and the time was about to pass. The two of them closed the entrance to the secret passage and left the Gao Mansion, and the direction of departure was still the location of the Gao Xue Hut.

After leaving Gaofu, Li Yan learned from Chen Meng that Chen Meng also figured out the location of the exit, as long as he waited until the people he arranged to find out the high-strength industry, he would find out one by one.

On the second day, Li Yan didn't have anything to do at all, and since he was fine, he simply wandered around the county town alone. But Li Yan didn't know that before he left the Tang Mansion for half an hour, someone followed him along the way.

At the beginning, Li Yan didn't know at all, but after walking a few streets, Li Yan also noticed it and felt that someone was following him. Li Yan found that someone was following him, and he was not in a hurry, but was shopping as normal, as if he hadn't found anything.

In a crowded place, Li Yan is a normal pair of shopping, and when he gradually leaves the crowded place, Li Yan just picks some places with fewer people to walk, but there are still people one after another, so that people can't find any abnormality.

In the end, Li Yan approached an alley alone, there was no one in the alley, and the surrounding houses blocked the surrounding light a lot, and it was a little dark here, which was mainly due to the light.

But not long after Li Yan just walked in, several people appeared at both ends of the alley, and there were eleven or two people on both sides combined. The eleven or twelve people who appeared directly faced Wei Wei and stopped at a position three or four meters away from Li Yan.

The twelve people who appeared here, each of them looked relatively hideous, giving people the feeling of being a bad body. And in each of them, they all held a weapon, some were knives, some were daggers, and some were wooden sticks.

When Li Yan saw this person who suddenly appeared, he was not a little afraid, but raised his eyebrows, looked at them as if they didn't know anything, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Hehe, you don't care what we do." When Li Yan's voice fell, one of the men with a slight scar on his face said, "Let me ask you, is your name Li Yan?" ”

When Li Yan heard this person ask, he nodded honestly and said, "My name is Li Yan, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Hehe, what's the matter?" The man sneered and said, "Our brother has been short of money recently, and when I passed by this county town, I heard that there is a son named Li Yan who is very rich, do you know what we want now?" ”

When Li Yan heard this, he was speechless in his heart, and only said the day before yesterday that he might be targeted and robbed. But I didn't expect it to come so quickly, I guessed that it was just a day after stepping on it, and it was also Zhongjiang.

But fortunately, Li Yan asked Chen Meng for a weapon, just in case, Li Yan went out today, whether it was a short sword or a hidden arrow, he brought it with him.

Although Li Yan understood the meaning of this person's words, he still made a look that I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't know what you're talking about, he looked like he didn't understand anything, shook his head and said, "I don't understand." And you are short of money to spend, what are you doing in my way? ”

As soon as Li Yan's words came out, the man's original sneering expression was directly stunned, and he didn't react a little. After a long while, he looked at Li Yan as if he was a fool.

"Big brother, isn't this kid a fool, right? Ha ha. Although the man did not say anything, the rest of the people, that is, some of them laughed and laughed. The rest of the people laughed as well.

And Li Yan didn't care about their ridicule at all, but in his eyes, a trace of cruelty flashed, this look was fleeting, and it was difficult to catch at all.

Although Li Yan looked like he was a fool, the eldest brother still said with a sneer: "Since you don't understand, I'll just make it clear, we're here to rob, so you hand over all the money on your body, and we promise not to hurt you." ”

The eldest brother said this, saying that this would not hurt Li Yan, but his eyes flashed with cruelty. This look was easily caught by Li Yan. However, when Li Yan saw this, he still made it look like I was a little white, as if I didn't find anything out.

So Li Yan looked at the eldest brother as if I understood, made a scared person, weakly, and said with a panicked look: "What? Want to rob? In broad daylight, how dare you do such a thing? ”

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the government? Aren't you afraid that I will go to the high mansion to sue you when the time comes? ”

But as soon as Li Yan said this, those people laughed even more, and even the eldest brother laughed as if he had heard something funny. They thought that Li Yan was using the government to intimidate and deter them.

And when Li Yan saw them like this, he made a face, did I say something wrong? Looks like I don't understand.

After laughing a few times, the eldest brother looked at Li Yan and said with a look of disdain: "It seems that those rumors outside that you are very smart, it seems that they should be false, otherwise how could you not even understand such a simple truth?" ”

"Okay, we don't talk nonsense, and we're not afraid to tell you, if we dare to do this, we won't be afraid of the government, but we are still wandering bandits, and we won't live in this Xihe County, so when the silver ticket is in hand, I'll just leave here and go somewhere else." As long as the people are good, the government cannot arrest people across regions. ”

"So you better take out the money, we won't do anything to you, and we'll knock you out when the time comes." The eldest brother said this, looking at Li Yan with an expression that seemed to be good for you.

When Li Yan heard this, he made an expression on his face that I believed what you said, and said weakly: "You have to talk about it." ”
