Yun Mie went to investigate the news according to the route given by Yun An, and two days later, he returned to the original place to report to Yun Chi.
Seeing Yun Mie come back, An Shiqi asked immediately before Yun Chi could speak, "Is my young master still there?"
Yun Mie shook his head.
An Shiqixin raised it again immediately, and raised her voice, "You mean that Su Zizhe took the young master to another place, then you can find out where he took the young master?"
Yun Mie still shook his head.
An Shiqi stomped his feet, "What are you shaking your head for? What do you mean? You haven't found any news yet."
Yun Mie glanced at An Shiqi, turned to Yun Chi, knelt down on one knee, and said in a wooden voice, "Your Highness, forgive me, that place was already empty when I went down, and my subordinates checked back and forth. , there are quite a few traces, it seems that you have just left for only two days, but because there are too many traces, there are traces in all directions, and there is no way to find out the exact direction of departure. This subordinate is afraid that His Highness will be waiting in a hurry, so he dare not delay any longer , I will come back first to report, please Your Highness make a decision."
Yun Chi nodded, "Get up."
Yun Mie stood up.
An Shiqi was anxious in his heart, but he also knew that the Phoenix Guard was powerful, and Yun Mie couldn't even find out now, which showed that he was very good at hiding his whereabouts. But if you think about it, if you are not powerful, you will not take the young master all the way from the capital to this barren mountain.
He thought, looking at Yunchi.
Yun Chi's eyes were dark, and he stood in front of the table, thinking about the topographical map on the table.
An Shiqi also landed on the terrain map, "Your Highness, since we just left two days ago, could it be that we leaked our whereabouts? Su Zizhe knew that His Highness was here, so he changed places."
After finishing speaking, he felt that something was wrong. If Su Zizhe knew that His Highness was coming, he would have sent a large number of people to kill His Highness in this barren mountain, and it shouldn't just be a different place.
So, thinking about it, he changed his words again, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Could it be that Mr. Zizhan specially reminded Su Zizhe to avoid you for the sake of the young master?"
It's not that he judges the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but it's not surprising that he did something in his capacity as a son. After all, there is such a deep relationship and entanglement with the young master for two lifetimes. He felt that in the whole world, apart from His Royal Highness, the only person who could hold on to the young master was Zi Zhan.
In the past, Mr. Zizhan took a step back, but now that he has regained his memory, if he can still retreat, then this person is too annoying.
Anyway, he probably couldn't do it by himself.
"Not to mention anything else, Su Zizhe's temperament, even if he gave me the antidote, he won't remind Su Zizhe." Yun Chi's thin lips curled into a line, "Su Zizhe probably didn't notice that I came here either. About He is a cunning rabbit and three caves, he is already suspicious and will not stay in one place for a long time. Or, if there is no news from the capital that he wants, he becomes suspicious, the most appropriate way is to move places."
An Shiliu thought it made sense, "Your Highness, what should we do now? This huge barren mountain has a radius of thousands of miles, and it is not easy to find it without a purpose." After saying that, he looked at Yun An again, "What did you say? There are many traces, and they are everywhere.”
Yun Mie nodded, "However, the southeast direction can be ruled out."
"Why?" An Shiliu asked.
"The terrain in the east is relatively flat, with a radius of a hundred miles. Neither horseshoe marks nor ruts are easy to hide. The south is the direction we are in at this time. We have not found any abnormal traces. Only the west and north have deep vegetation and dense forests. , there are many mountains, and there are many mountain roads, leading to all directions."
An Shiliu looked at the topographical map again after hearing the words, and said to Yun Chi, "Your Highness, we have few people. Although these two directions have been ruled out, if we search along these two directions, we still need to search." Glancing at Yun Mie, he paused, the meaning being self-evident.
The entire Phoenix Guard needs to be mobilized, which is of course impossible. He dare not take it seriously, and he can protect Yun Chi's safety by himself. Naturally, not all of the Phoenix Guards could be dispatched.
Yun Chi stared at the terrain map for a while, then waved at Yun Mie, "Come forward."
Yun Mie stepped forward.
Yun Chi pointed at three places, "Send three of the most capable people to check these three places. Once you find any news, don't startle the snake, just come back and report."
Yun Mie memorized these three points carefully, and said yes.
Yun Chi asked Yun Mie to copy those three places, and then pointed him to one place and told him, "You go here yourself, or if you have any news, come back and report it immediately."
"yes"
Yun Mie quickly left with the three of them.
An Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief. His Royal Highness didn't send out all the Phoenix Guards. He would rather find the young master later than let His Highness be in danger of no one to protect him.
Two days later, Yun An turned back, knelt down on one knee, and told Yun Chi, "Your Highness, I found a place where soldiers are hiding."
"Where?" Yun Chi looked at the dark cloud, the huge barren mountain, since he stepped into this place and saw the topographical map given by An Shiliu, he knew that Su Zizhe probably used the barren mountain to raise private soldiers up.
"It's six hundred miles away from the northwest."
"How many soldiers and horses"
"Two hundred thousand."
"The barren mountain has a radius of thousands of miles. It's impossible to have only this one place. I've checked the other places I pointed out," Yun Chi asked.
"I've checked everything." Yun An nodded, "However, there is one place where there is a confusing formation. It is very clever. The five elements and eight trigrams formations are set up based on the terrain, mountains, vegetation, and the subordinates dare not break through them easily. One must be unusual."
"Oh where?" Yun Chi looked at the terrain map.
Yun An got up, came to the front, looked at the terrain map for a while, then pointed to the center of the barren mountain, "Here."
Yun Chi frowned, looked at the rolling hills, pondered for a while, and said, "This is an excellent place for military strategists. The mountains are dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack."
An Shiqi stepped forward, he naturally knew the art of war, looked at it for a while and said, "This is indeed a good place." After saying that, he looked at Yun Chi, "Your Highness, if there are Tibetan soldiers here, I'm afraid More than 200,000. Moreover, if this kind of terrain has been used to raise soldiers, if you have more than double the soldiers and horses to attack, there is not much chance of winning."
Yun Chi let out a "hmm", and his eyes gradually became darker, "I dare to say that Su Zizhe may be here with his pretty face."
An Shiqi cheered up immediately, "Then we must dispatch troops immediately."
"No hurry." Yun Chi shook his head, raised his eyes, and said to Yun secretly, "Let's talk about the 200,000 soldiers and horses at the place you checked first, and the arrangements around where, in detail."
Yun An should have said in detail the place where he found out that 200,000 soldiers were raised.
After Yun Chi heard this, he narrowed his eyes, "I will take these 200,000 soldiers and horses first, and then I will pay attention to other things." After finishing speaking, he said to An Shiqi, "Send a letter to An Shiliu and let him When it's done, come find us here. Let's go to this northwest place first
An Shiqi looked at Yun Chi, "Your Highness, where are the 200,000 soldiers and horses? Shouldn't we go with them?"
"Don't take it." Yun Chi thought about it, "Use the way of his own person to treat his body. I also let Su Zizhe get to know me."
An Shiqi saw that Yun Chi's expression was calm and his words were meaningful, so he stopped asking, nodded, and sent a letter to An Shiliu. He and Yunchi set off immediately, and Yun An led the way, and immediately left the place where they had been staying for a few days.
An Shiliu had already arrived in Bei'an City at this time, and met Su Qingfeng.
Su Qingfeng saw that An Shiliu was holding His Royal Highness' token and tiger talisman, he understood why he came, he was surprised, but he immediately accepted the order, because His Royal Highness left Beijing secretly for Huangyuan Mountain this time, so he didn't dare to make too much noise Affecting the court situation in the capital, so it was quickly arranged.
It's not easy to move troops out of Bei'an City quietly without making any noise, so An Shiliu helped Su Qingfeng back and forth for three days, and it was only in this day and night that he went smoothly and silently He calmly left Bei'an City with his soldiers and horses.
On the way to the barren mountain, An Shiliu received a message from An Shiqiu.
He heard that Yun Chi only took An Shiqi, Yun An and Fenghuangwei to the hiding place of 200,000 soldiers and horses, and there was not a single soldier. Go, he hesitated for a while, but still felt that it was natural to listen to His Royal Highness's arrangement, and not to disrupt His Highness's plans rashly, so he ordered Su Qingfeng to bring his troops to camp at the place His Royal Highness told him to wait for news. He left first and went to the place explained in An Shiqi's letter.
There are mountain roads everywhere in the wilderness mountain, even the official road is very uneven, and the road is very difficult to walk. In addition, Yun Chi wanted to hide his tracks on purpose, so he crossed mountains and ridges, did not follow the official path, deliberately avoided people, and went to places that were rarely visited by people.
After two days and nights, they arrived at the place where Yun An had mentioned the Tibetan soldiers in the northwest.
Yun Chi did not rush in, but observed the surrounding area for two days, and only acted when a small group of people were patrolling.
At the beginning, Su Zizhe had already deceived countless people by pretending to be Su Zizhe. Now, he disguised himself as Su Zizhe, and in An Shiqi and Yun An's eyes, he would pretend to be fake and pretend to be the real one. Led by men and horses, they entered a place where 200,000 soldiers were raised.
