Chapter 317: Connections
In his small city, there are not many soldiers and horses in total, and the total is only 10,000.
After all, the whole city is remote, and their forces are not strong.
Every soldier is not as brave and good at fighting as the wolf country, and there is no way to arrange troops, if you want to count, their tens of thousands of people may not be able to beat the five thousand elite soldiers of the wolf country.
"Hurry up and find out if there are any of them!"
The strength of a city is weak, and if you want to check the clues, you will definitely be able to find them, after all, the traces of so many people are not easy to hide, and if it wasn't for the carelessness before, it wouldn't have been missed.
Confirming that Ye Wangqing's words were true, the city lord became much kinder after he came back.
Even if he didn't think much of the Shenbi country far away, he had to take into account the current troops, and if tens of thousands of people didn't care about the consumption, they had the ability to knock down a city in a very short time.
In the face of the power that has the ability to destroy him, everyone will be cautious: "Since you are here to catch the traitor, I will naturally help as much as possible, I just got the news about the previous matter, and it has been negotiated." β
How long has it been, and if you say it's been discussed, it's been discussed?
Ye Wangqing knew that things couldn't be so easy, but he deliberately didn't mention it.
"Then please help provide a force, Li Yanhai is very cunning, he has just arrived in the past two days, but I suspect that he has already known a certain person with no low power in the city, and this point still needs the cooperation of the city lord to find out."
The city lord had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, but he was afraid of the troops outside, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
If you want to investigate, you can check, anyway, the war has not affected him, even if some people are arrested, it doesn't matter.
Over there, Ye Qianli walked along the passage on the ground to the outside of the city, and found a large number of changed clothes in a house that looked like the residence of Orion.
There are also places that used to have things but are now empty.
"He really ran away, and followed this trail to entangle them, and it was impossible to go far, and they were still in this city without a suitable mount, but they went in under a different identity."
He immediately walked to the gate closest to the crowd, and after interrogation, he found no trace, and there was no large queue among the people who came and went, and it seemed to be very normal.
At least that's what these guards say.
Ye Wangqing took the city lord's token and found it, "What news are you checking here at the city gate, didn't you chase people out, why did you run back now." β
Ye Qianli told him the clues he got, Li Yanhai's whereabouts are unknown now, but it is very likely that he is still in this city, "You got the city lord token so quickly, then just let everyone mobilize together." β
"It's almost certain that he should have some other way back, and that he should be a figure of status in this city...... Have you ever known how many people in this city can hide them? β
"Who would ask about this kind of thing in the first place." He didn't know in advance that Li Yanhai would find someone to answer, how could he not know the prophet.
He just deceived the city lord just now, but he didn't expect that what he just said was about to come true.
They asked again, but there were no clues, Ye Qianli otherwise turned his gaze to the city lord's order in his hand, "Lend me this thing." β
He took the city lord's order and went back and asked again.
Why didn't he answer his question without thinking about it like before, and he didn't see a flaw in watching the city lord's lead for a long time, and immediately began to shirk his responsibility.
"He made me lie."
"Isn't this an order from above? How can it be called lying? I also received an order from above, how could I say it, if I had known that the city lord didn't know about it, how could I! β
"In the end, we are all serving the city lord, and we can only obey the orders passed down from above, and it is too late to say anything, I will take you to find the person who passed the order."
After Ye Qianli finished using it, he threw the token back again, Ye Wangqing looked at the token flying towards him, quickly caught it, and casually carried it in his arms.
This token was more useful than they imagined, and as soon as the token came out, in addition to the order of the city lord, it was their highest order.
It is impossible for anyone's orders other than the city lord to be higher than this token, which is equivalent to them being able to move freely in the city.
Li Yanhai was sitting down with Dongxiang to chat, and he did not shy away from saying that he was now preparing someone to investigate, which might cause a lot of trouble, but Dongxiang didn't care about it.
"They can't find it, unless it's my father who comes to check it himself, but I think they don't have that much ability, so they can make my father feel jealous, and my father has always been more partial to himself between himself and outsiders."
"Since you have helped me, you are naturally your own person."
Dongxiang is the son of the city lord, and he is not orthodox in terms of identity, but his ability is good, and there are some people who support him to succeed him as the city lord.
Things in the past have been a long time, but he has done him a small favor, but it is a very important thing for the present.
If it weren't for this, he could choose not to go to any city, anyway, there were not many people and he could find a hidden place outside to hide from the limelight.
I chose this place simply because there are better development prospects.
"Of course I believe in your abilities, but in order to ensure that there will be no accidents, it is better to leave a way out."
"Although your house occupies a large area, there are too many cumbersome decorations, which is not conducive to escaping, and there is no way out to hide at a critical moment."
Li Yanhai was always a little uneasy in his heart, what he did was tantamount to rebellion, but his greedy hope was to continue to develop his power after the turmoil calmed down, instead of forcibly fighting hard, resulting in not many people left by his side now.
Most of the manpower is still hidden and cannot be mobilized unless it is critical, and most of these people are hidden and secluded, and when they do not receive special news, they are the most loyal generals.
If he hadn't chosen to run away at the beginning, but had immediately revolted with his own men, he wouldn't have been forced to this point now.
Although Dongxiang owes him a favor, he has his own opinion about his own house, "Only the cumbersome decoration can show grandeur and status, this is a symbol of my status, and I don't feel threatened here." β
"Even if my father comes in person, I will consult with him and tell him how much value you represent, and he will definitely choose to help us."
Li Yanhai is not so naΓ―ve and optimistic, he just wants a way out.
