Chapter 265: Secret
The next day, Jian You went to Yuanzhou alone, although the distance between Shu and Yuanzhou was not far, and it was also evening when Jian You came to the Yuanzhou Inspectorate.
Those people didn't seem to expect the book master to come in person, and they were a little surprised for a while. According to their information, there has been no major movement in Yuanzhou recently, and there is no need for Jian You to come over in person.
Jian You didn't pay attention to their surprise, and just asked them to hand over the military intelligence of Yuanzhou in the past two years and all the movements of Yuanzhou Zhizhou to themselves.
When those people heard Jian You say this, they didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly handed over the things Jian You asked for. After opening the information they had handed in, Jian You didn't find any useful information.
He raised his head and asked the man on the side: "I think the troops in Yuanzhou are quite sufficient, why didn't they go to support Shudi?" ”
The man said with some confusion: "My lord, we are only responsible for collecting intelligence, and we cannot influence Lord Zhizhou's thoughts. According to our intelligence, Lord Tao's reply to General Yan was that the soldiers in Yuanju City were not capable enough to resist the pirates. Let General Yan ask the imperial court for help, and he will be responsible for guarding the city of Yuanju. ”
Jian You slapped the table and said, "Nonsense! Even if the ability is not enough, it is good for someone to help General Yan kill the enemy, I think this Tao Wang is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
At this moment, someone outside told me that someone was asking to see Jian You. Jian You wondered who was looking for him, how could he know that he had come to Yuanzhou.
When he saw someone coming, Jian You's eyes narrowed. I saw that the man said respectfully: "Lord Jane, villain Yuan Xi, I came to Yuanzhou to help Lord Jian on the order of my grandfather." ”
"I've seen you." Jian You's expression was serious.
"Adults have a good memory, and the villain once went to Huzhou to deliver a letter to the adult." Yuan Xi's expression did not change.
Jian You looked at him for a while and said, "Why did Wen Zhili know that I would come to Yuanzhou?" ”
"Because Yuanzhou is the hometown of Jiang Taifu, the villain has been waiting for Master Jian in Yuanzhou for a long time. Today, I heard that someone had reported that the adults had come to Wonju, so I immediately rushed over. Yuan Xi's expression was calm.
"Are you saying that Yuanzhou is Jiang Heng's hometown?" Jian You pondered the meaning of this sentence again.
"Exactly! My grandfather felt that Master Jane needed a help, so he sent me to assist him. Yuan Xi's expression was respectful.
Jian You looked at Yuan Xi and said seriously, "How do you prove that you can help me?" ”
Yuan Xi seemed to have thought that Jian You would say this, he took out a picture and handed it to Jian You and said, "Lord Jian, the troops in this Yuanzhou are more sufficient than you imagined, and Tao Wang has been secretly training troops. This time, not only Tao Wang, but also Cao Yue, the commander of the southeast, was also involved. My grandfather asked me to tell Master Jane that this matter is very important, and it can only be broken one by one, and not in a hurry. ”
"Thank you Lord Wen for the reminder for me, Jian You has a plan in mind." Jian You knew that what Wen Zhili said made sense, but she still felt a little unconvinced, feeling that her actions were in the hands of others.
"The villain Yuan Xi will accept the dispatch of the adults at any time during their stay in Yuanzhou!" After Yuan Xi finished speaking, he saluted Jian You.
Jian You glanced at the people around him, then sighed and said, "Tao Wang, I will go there in person, can you help me keep an eye on Cao Yue's every move?" ”
"Yes, Yuan Xi understands." After Yuan Xi finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Jian You continued to check the information of the Inspectorate after Yuan Xi left, as if he wanted to investigate Tao Wang's bottom in detail. Later, Tao Wang's plot of land on the outskirts of Yuanzhou City attracted Jian You's attention.
He looked at his subordinates on the side and asked, "This land is in the suburbs, and it is far away from other properties under Tao Wang's name, do you know what kind of place this is?" ”
One of the subordinates hurriedly presented a map of Wonju City, pointed to the land and said, "Lord Hui, this land is relatively remote, and it is close to the mountains, and there are no people around at all. ”
Jian You thought of Yuan Xi's words, so he asked, "Is there a cave on the mountain?" ”
The subordinate thought for a moment and said, "The subordinate remembers that there is indeed a big cave. ”
Jian You sneered and said, "Okay, you Tao Wang, you actually practiced privately behind the back of the imperial court." ”
The subordinate also understood what Jian You meant, and asked, "My lord, what are we going to do next?" ”
"I'll go there tomorrow to investigate, and you can find two reliable people to keep an eye on Tao Wang's every move." Jian You looked at the map in a daze as he spoke, wondering if Tao Wang was really training.
The next day, he followed the direction of the map to the land of Tao Wang, which was really a very desolate place. Jian You looked around and found that there were quite a few mountains around.
Hearing footsteps, Jian You hid to the side. Seeing two men dressed as soldiers walking on the road, they were still chatting.
"Lao Wang, why do you say that we don't go to the battlefield for this day and night drill?" A soldier asked.
The man known as Lao Wang shook his head and said: "Let us practice only if we are allowed to practice, and when the pirates really break through the Shu land, this Yuanzhou City will be dangerous." ”
"I really don't understand why the top doesn't let us support Shudi, we have a lot of troops!" The soldier continued.
Lao Wang made a silent gesture and said, "How can you be open-mouthed, if you are heard, you will lose your head." ”
"Come on, this place where birds don't is where anyone else is here but us." The soldier looked indifferent.
"It's better to be careful, I heard that the commander is about to give up Shudi." Lao Wang's voice was very small, but Jian You heard it clearly, and his expression was serious.
"What? My wife and children are still in Shudi? What to do? The soldier was clearly in a hurry.
Lao Wang sighed and said: "It's just the struggle above, it's just us little people who are pitiful." I said you should hurry up and take your wife and children! ”
The soldier took a sip and said, "Phew, Tao Wang, these people are really shameless. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, if we are heard, our lives will be lost." Lao Wang is still more careful.
The two soldiers faded away, and Jian You also headed in the direction they left. Sure enough, a huge cave was discovered, which looked very deep and was estimated to hold hundreds of people.
Jian You knocked out a soldier with a drink in his hand, dragged him aside and put on his clothes. Then he took the wine and went into the cave, which was really a cave.
