"Who are Wang Li and Wang Kui?"
In Taiyuan Posthouse, after Wang Yu left the cell, Duguxin also left the cell with the help of a forbidden soldier and returned to his room. After sitting down, he asked Zhao Erhu, the forbidden soldier who helped him back.
Zhao Erhu originally came to Taiyuan City in advance with Dugu Feiying to spy on intelligence and eliminate hidden dangers in the city. He was quite familiar with some of the situations in the city. After hearing this, he replied:
"Back to the general, as far as my subordinates know, this Wang Kui is the second elder of the Wang family and belongs to the second room of the Wang family. However, my subordinates have never heard of this Wang Li before. Do you want me to go and find out more~"
"The second elder of the Wang family?"
When Dugu Xin heard this, his heart moved. After pondering for a moment, he told Zhao Erhu: "Go and find out the identity of Wang Li and see if he is related to the second elder of the Wang family!"
In the matter of tracing the identity of the assassin, Wang Yu can be said to have provided suggestions and efforts. In this way, it was basically ruled out that the assassin was involved with Wang Yu, but Duguxin always felt that Wang Yu seemed to know something else and had some influence on him. What he concealed, especially the two clueless questions Wang Yu asked Star Wolf before leaving, made Duguxin even more suspicious. He believed that the two questions Wang Yu asked Star Wolf must have deep meaning!
Therefore, it is very necessary to find out the identities of Wang Li and Wang Kui first!
"Here~!"
Zhao Erhu clasped his fists and accepted the order. Then when he saw that Dugu Xin had no other instructions, he turned and left.
… … … … … … … …
"Your Highness, why don't you stay in the Tongzi Temple for the time being? There are forbidden troops guarding the mountains and below. Even if someone wants to harm you, they can't do it! As for the assassins in the city, you can leave it to the future to investigate!"
At the foot of Longshan Mountain, after Li Tai handed over all the mechanical equipment such as the thermal generator and telegraph transceiver to Meng Wenhao, he planned to take Dugu Feiying and other forbidden troops back to the post house to interrogate the captured assassin. At this time, Dugu Feiying hesitated for a while, and suddenly couldn't help but tentatively said to Li Tai.
In his opinion, those people hidden in Taiyuan City came not only for the teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy, but also for Li Tai, the King of Wei. The dangers Li Tai faced in the city were far greater than those faced by teachers and students of other academies. The danger is greater. After all, Li Tai's special status makes him more attractive to those people!
This time everyone from the academy went north to build a telegraph relay station. Li Er sent a total of one thousand forbidden troops to escort them along the way. But now these thousand forbidden troops have been divided into two parts. One part is stationed in the post house, and the other part is guarding at the foot of Longshan Mountain. and Mt. Comparatively speaking, Longshan is safer than the post house at this time, because the terrain of Longshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is easy to set up hidden secret posts. It is not easy for assassins to break through the layers of defense and secret sentries and attack the top of the mountain. !
Just now on the top of the mountain, Dugu Feiying saw that the dilapidated Tongzi Temple had been tidied up and was obviously habitable, so he thought of letting Li Tai live in Longshan temporarily. In this way, he He and Duguxin now have no worries at all and can focus on catching the assassin wholeheartedly!
Anyway, in his opinion, even if Li Tai returned to the inn, it would not be of any help in tracking down the person behind the assassin. On the contrary, the Forbidden Army had to allocate part of its strength to personally protect Li Tai's safety.
Well, in other words, Dugu Feiying felt that Li Tai was a bit of a "burden", but he was afraid of angering Li Tai, so he just changed his words!
But Li Tai is such a smart person, how could he not hear the "subtext" in Dugu Feiying's words? He turned to look at Dugu Feiying, curled his lips, and said dissatisfied: "Do you think this king will drag you down in the city~?"
Dugu Feiying said quickly: "I don't dare! I only think about His Highness's safety and have no other intentions!"
"snort!"
Li Tai snorted and said: "The current situation in Taiyuan City is complicated and treacherous. If I leave it to you, I'm afraid it won't be solved in ten days and a half! I think back when the Lord of the Heavenly Dragon Sect crossed the river and deceived the people, wreaked havoc and killed people in Chang'an City. If you can be exposed and solve the case by me, why is it that I am missing from this puzzle in Taiyuan City? Stop talking nonsense and follow me back to the inn!"
After all, Li Tai does not want to retreat behind the scenes. Young people are all competitive. How can a person like Li Tai, who has always been conceited, be an exception? In order to prove his ability to investigate assassins, the little fat man told the story of how he teamed up with Di Zhisun and Sun Zifan to expose the tricks performed by the Tianlong Sect to confuse the people in Chang'an City and solved a bizarre witness murder case at that time. After being moved out, Dugu Feiying was stunned for a moment.
But then he did hear someone say something like this at the time!
"Yes! Your Highness!"
In a daze, Li Tai had already walked quickly in front of him, and he quickly chased after him.
… … … … … … … …
"Drive~! Drive~!"
On the official road to the west of Taiyuan City, a man in his forties rode an old horse and rushed toward the west gate. Because he was running too fast, or they had already traveled a long way, The old black horse was breathing heavily from its nostrils, and even its body was trembling a little. From a distance, it seemed that the man and the horse might fall down in the farmland by the roadside at any time.
"Uu~!"
Approaching the city gate, the man turned over and dismounted, but saw that the city gate was tightly closed and there were many defenders above the city gate. He felt shuddered and quickly took two steps forward, preparing to ask the sergeant above to open the city gate, but who knew that Before he could speak, the sergeant on the tower shouted at him:
"Comers, stop here. Today, by order of the Governor, the entire Taiyuan City is under martial law. The gates on all sides are closed. No one is allowed to enter or exit at will!"
Although this guy shouted quite loudly, he was still polite.
The man at the foot of the city tower did not leave because of this. He raised his head and shouted loudly: "I have urgent information to report to His Majesty the King of Wei. I would also like to ask the young general to please open the city gate and let me enter the city!"
As soon as these words came out, the sergeant who shouted on the tower was suddenly shocked, and the expression of the other majestic sergeant standing next to him suddenly changed. He lay on the female wall of the tower and looked at the people below. The man shouted loudly and asked:
"Who are you? Why do you know His Royal Highness the King of Wei is in the city~?"
This man is not a soldier from the state capital, but a captain in the Bingzhou Camp. He has hundreds of people under his command. Today Taiyuan City is under martial law, and the Bingzhou Camp has taken over the city defense, and his men have been assigned here. On the west gate and tower.
As a mid-level general in Bingzhou Camp, this man obviously knew some "inside information". He knew that the reason why Taiyuan City was under martial law was mainly for Li Tai's safety in the city, so he heard the old man below the city tower mention Li Tai. Tai, the captain immediately became alert.
