When a group of nine people left Hongyi City and arrived at the south gate of Hongyi City, He Chenhui and Li Siyu were already waiting for them outside the city gate. This made everyone think that they were late and missed the departure time, but Xuanyuan Liuli looked at the time, and it looked like it was about an hour away from the agreed time. In this way, it should be He Chenhui and the others who came early.

Looking at the puzzled expressions of the group, Li Siyu smiled and explained, "I have already packed my things before I went to look for you this morning, and I think Brother He should be the same." Just now, after Brother He took me away from the station of the Dragon Regiment, I followed him around Hongyi City. Seeing that it was still early, the two of us had no interest in returning to the barracks, so we simply waited for you here. I didn't expect you to come here so early. ”

At this time, He Chenhui also smiled, looked into the city gate, and said, "I look at the atmosphere in the city, probably my army and the army have already set off, and they will be able to come out within about twenty minutes." Why don't we go first, and I'll let them follow?"

"Yes. Li Siyu nodded, and then turned the horse's head.

The two of them made a decision while talking, and they didn't give Xuanyuan Liuli any chance to interject at all. After the two of them made this decision, they marched together in the direction of Yumen Pass, leaving a group of nine people in place to wait for Xuanyuan Liuli's order.

As for He Chenhui and Li Siyu's attitude, they were not so strange, this was all what they had agreed with Li Siyu in the camp before. Whether it was He Chenhui following them to Star City, or Li Siyu and He Chenhui deciding to leave ahead of the eleven of them without waiting for the large army, this was all arranged by them. He Chenhui and Li Siyu will inevitably do whatever it takes to plan them, and Xuanyuan Liuli is willing to fully cooperate with them.

At this time, it was still early, and there was no shadow of the baggage troops coming from Yumen Pass, and on the official road between Hongyi City and Yumen Pass, there was no one except for the figures of their eleven people.

This is a rare opportunity, usually there are a lot of baggage troops between Yumen Pass and Hongyi City, after all, Hongyi City is the core position of one of the four major defense lines in the north, and many materials from the south need to be transferred from Yumen Pass, and the scale of Hongyi City is not small, the daily consumption of these materials is astronomical, so this requires the baggage troops arranged by Yumen Pass to continuously transport materials. And in the most troublesome wartime, the baggage troops on the official road between Yumen Pass and Hongyi City were in an endless stream from morning to night, and even sometimes there were baggage troops who had to stay up all night to hurry.

Just thinking about it, one can imagine how huge this supply line is, and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Department of the Imperial Court has to allocate countless funds to Hongyi City every year. But it is precisely because of the state as the back, through the deployment of the imperial court, that the rich materials in the south of the empire are purchased and transported to the north every year. You must know that of the four defense lines in the north, only Mingzhi City is used as a trade channel with the Dragon King Empire, and only the Mingzhi City defense line does not need to rely entirely on the imperial court to spend a lot of money to replenish supplies.

Don't look at the fact that the imperial court spends a huge amount of money every year to replenish the four lines of defense, and thinks that this matter is a bit overkill, in fact, it is precisely because of the deployment of the imperial court that these four lines of defense can still stand in the northern frontier of the empire from the return of the dragon king to the dragon god continent thousands of years ago, and as an empire that centralizes power in the imperial court, these deployments are not difficult.

However, He Chenhui and the others set off too early, and at this time, the baggage troops transporting supplies at Yumen Pass should still be preparing in Yumen Pass.

Seeing He Chenhui like that, he seemed to be very relieved that his army escorted the army and assassinated the army. Along the way, he chatted with Li Siyu, not caring at all if anything happened to the large army following behind. As for Xuanyuan Liuli, they ...... He Chenhui, as the commander, is their biggest official here (according to the number of people under his jurisdiction, the commander of the Dragon Detachment has always had no right to speak), so it is natural to decide that He Chenhui has the final say.

Their speed is not very fast, according to He Chenhui's words, anyway, the time given by the imperial court is half a month, as long as they arrive at Star City within the time, there is no need to rush like when they came, they will arrive at their destination in a day or two. However, Xuanyuan Liuli didn't believe He Chenhui's statement, he just wanted to get together with Li Siyu more. God knows how good their relationship was in the Star Emperor Royal Academy before, the two of them haven't seen each other for so many years, and they have been together almost all the time in the past two days.

Speaking of their speed, in fact, it is not too slow, this is only relative to the speed of ordinary squads, if compared to the large troops behind, their speed is still very fast, at least if they do not stop and wait for the large troops, the large troops will definitely not be able to catch up with them.

Looking at the Yumen Pass, which gradually appeared in the sky, He Chenhui suddenly talked about the Li family. He said: "Si Yu, what do you say about the people of the Li family who have been arranged in the imperial court after this incident? Could it be that the imperial court is really ready to do something to them?"

Li Siyu shook his head and said, "The current head of the Li family is Brother Si Ming. If they are willing to throw themselves into Brother Si Ming, nothing should happen, after all, it is only the uncle who has committed treason, and this matter does not have much impact except for implicating the Li family in terms of being cut off and taking over the land. Now that the Li family has Brother Si Ming in charge, and Brother Si Ming is the emperor's confidant, as long as the Li family members who stay in Hongyi City don't do anything out of the ordinary in the future, there will be no problems. After all, His Majesty just wants to take back the power of Hongyi City, and if he is ruthless to the Li family again, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the other two families...... The empire can't afford to have any domestic contradictions right now. ”

Listening to Li Siyu's words, Ren Tianxiang drove forward and asked, "Senior Siyu, don't you have any opinion about the Li family being suppressed by the imperial court like this? After all, the Li family has also guarded the frontier for the empire for so many years, isn't it too ...... to lose everything in Hongyi City so suddenly?"

"Tianxiang, what if I have complaints?" Li Siyu shrugged, "It's true that the Li family has guarded the frontier for the empire for nearly eight hundred years, but the empire is also very good in treating the Li family, and the three major families of the empire are already very rich in benefits just on the surface, not to mention that there are many secret transactions that other people don't know about." Moreover, His Majesty cut the knighthood of the Li family, also because of the Li family's face for the empire's outstanding military exploits, it was only downgraded by one level, if there was a traitor from other families, he would be grateful to Dade. As for what the Li family should do in the future...... It depends on what Brother Si Ming means......"
