These two Wang family secret guards were the same two Wang family secret guards that Li Junxian sent to follow Xuan Ye and others after Xuan Ye and others escaped with Li Tai!
The reason why Baiqi was not sent was, firstly, because Baiqi had very few manpower. In addition, Li Junxian had to escort Zhao Deyan to the Governor's Mansion with Fang Gongteng at that time. Naturally, he did not want to distract the remaining strength in his hands; , Xuan Ye's group has a large number of people, and investigating their whereabouts is not difficult for the Wang family's secret guards, and it is even a piece of cake!
"What? These guys still dare to stay at Tongfu Inn?"
After listening to the report from the Wang family secret guard, Li Junxian was subconsciously startled and couldn't help but say.
Xuan Ye and others dared to choose Tongfu Inn as their place of stay when they knew clearly that Baiqi had captured Zhao Deyan at Tongfu Inn and that they were likely to be followed when they returned. I don’t know whether to praise them for their courage, or whether these people don’t know how high the sky is!
"Yes! We saw it with our own eyes!"
The Wang family secret guard cupped his fists and said: "Because I was worried that the group of people would change their place of stay, one of my subordinates came back to report the news. Zhao Da continued to monitor them near the inn. If there is any change on the other side, he will come back immediately to report to General Li!"
Hearing this, Li Junxian nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay! You two did a good job! You go down first!"
The Wang family secret guard couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly clasped his fists and said, "Yes! I'm resigning~!"
As a secret guard of the Wang family, although Wang Yu, the head of the Wang family, never said a word to him from beginning to end, after hearing the word "very good" from Li Junxian's mouth, he knew that he had completed his mission. Now, maybe after returning to the family, I can get some rewards! After all, anyone with a little intelligence can see the current situation of the Wang family!
"Tongfu Inn! It seems that these Turkic spies have decided to take over us! I guess they had noticed that our people were secretly following them on their way back, but they still chose the same place as their destination. Fu Inn is convinced that we don’t dare to risk the life of His Highness the King of Wei, so we don’t dare to do anything to them!”
Wang Yu frowned and said in a faint tone.
"exactly!"
Wang Liaoyuan nodded in agreement: "Although we now know where this group of thieves are hiding, even if we know, we still can't do anything to capture them! If we send a large army to directly surround the inn, they will definitely threaten us with His Highness's life again immediately. retreat!"
Li Junxian kept his eyebrows furrowed in silence. After a moment of silence, he said: "The other party chose Tongfu Inn as their base. Apart from the fact that they have no fear, there should be two reasons. One is that they have been lurking into Taiyuan City since then. Since then, they have been hiding in Tongfu Inn. They are very familiar with the environment and terrain there;
Secondly, now that our two sides are at a stalemate because of His Highness, I guess they want to delay the time until the reinforcements they expect arrive at Taiyuan City, so that they can take His Highness out of Taiyuan City! And Tongfu Inn is less than one mile away from the South Gate of Taiyuan City~! It’s very convenient for them to move! "
"Reinforcements!?"
Wang Yu and Wang Liaoyuan's eyes flashed, and they both thought of what was written in the secret letter that Han Li was bringing to Taiyuan City.
Li Junxian nodded and said: "That's right! Now that I think about it, Zhao Deyan stayed at the post house alone with some Turkic spies before. He was probably using himself as bait to hold back the general! He took such a desperate risk because he thought that as long as he If our people capture His Highness, we will be in a stalemate. Once the reinforcements sent by Jie Li arrive at Taiyuan City, Taiyuan City will be in chaos, and we will definitely be intimidated because Your Highness is in their hands. For Zhao Deyan, this is his best chance to get out of trouble!"
"Hmph! This Zhao Deyan is not only cruel to others, but also cruel to himself. He is really not an easy person!"
When Wang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but think of his father Wang Bing's evaluation of Zhao Deyan when he was at the Wang family's ancestral home. Some of the content actually coincided with what Li Junxian said! He turned to look at Li Junxian and asked in a deep voice: "In General Li's opinion, what should we do now? Do you want me to send someone to surround Tongfu Inn~?"
"Tongfu Inn! Qingque was taken to Tongfu Inn by those people!"
Outside the door, Tiedan was holding a large wooden box in his arms. After hearing the conversation of everyone in the room, his eyes flashed and he murmured to himself.
In the room, after listening to Wang Yu's question, Li Junxian pondered for a moment and said: "Over at the inn, we just need to leave a few people to keep a close watch on it! It is a very important matter, and we need to ask the Holy One to make a decision. Brother Tiedan will take the telegraph machine in a while. After arriving, we will immediately send what happened tonight back to Chang'an via telegraph, and after listening to His Majesty's arrangements, we will take action later!"
Hearing this, Tiedan quickly walked in with the box in his arms. He deliberately pretended to have a nonchalant expression on his face, completely different from his previous expression outside the door. As he walked, he said: "General Li, I brought the telegraph machine for you!"
Everyone's expressions changed, and they all turned their attention to Tiedan. They saw the latter holding a large wooden box, walking over quickly, and placing the wooden box on a wooden table on the left side of the lower room. Wang Yu and Wang Liaoyuan were both a little confused. They looked at the wooden box curiously. They belonged to local officials. They had only heard about new things like telegraph machines, but they had never seen the real thing. At this moment, they really wanted to see the wooden box. What does the telegraph machine inside look like!
"good!"
Li Junxian stood up, walked to Tiedan, and said, "Only brother Tiedan here can use the telegraph machine, so I have to trouble you to help me transmit what happened tonight back to Chang'an City!"
Tiedan nodded and did not refuse: "No problem! After I assemble the telegraph machine, General Li, just say whatever news you want to send, and I will send the telegram!"
While speaking, Tiedan did not stop. He took out the telegraph, lead-acid battery, transmitter and other items from the box, and assembled them one by one on the table. Everyone looked on, although they were worried in their hearts. Some were surprised, but no one made a sound.
After a while, the telegraph machine was all assembled and powered on. Tiedan sat down and said to Li Junxian beside him: "General Li, what message do you want to send to Chang'an? Now you can say Yes! You dictate it, I’ll record it, and then send it out using the telegraph machine!”
"good!"
Li Junxian nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The last general, Li Junxian, was ordered to go to Taiyuan to secretly protect His Highness, but unexpectedly tonight..."
