"I suddenly thought of He Pu's whereabouts!"

Li Gong said: "When the Sassanian family in the city came to contact us yesterday, he told me about He Pu's escape to Mulu City. I was thinking about capturing him alive or killing him, and the generals present also said that after seizing Mulu City, he would capture He Pu.

But today I don’t know if Meng Feijun completely forgot him, or because the incident of Bingbo Silin’s suicide was too important and he didn’t care about it for a while, but he didn’t report it just now. I want you to order a guard to come in, just to ask the guard to ask Meng Feijun and He Pu’s whereabouts.”

"Oh, I actually forgot him!" Liu Qi slapped his head and shouted. Li Gong, he and other high-ranking generals' concern for He Pu was second only to Bingbo Silin; and most of the Anxi soldiers hated He Pu even more than Bingbo Silin, after all, traitors are more hateful than enemies.

Such an important person did not ask Meng Feijun about the whereabouts of this person, and it shouldn't have been done.

"I'll ask someone to ask immediately!" He said another sentence, shouted a guard to come in, and told him to find Meng Feijun to ask He Pu's whereabouts. The guard also had an expression on his face as if he was suddenly enlightened when he heard Liu Qi's words. He was stunned for a moment before agreeing, and hurried out of the tent.

"Liu Qi, do you think He Pu's fate is so good now?" At this time, Li Gong calmed down, sat down for dinner, and asked again.

"It's probably hidden." Liu Qi also sat down again, took a sip of water and said, "Most of his army have been betrayed. He is almost useless to Bingbo Silin and the Great Food Kingdom. Before Bingbo Silin commits suicide, he arranges thousands of soldiers to withdraw and will not take He Pu's.

Although He Pu is not very smart, he can still see this clearly, so he will most likely not escape from the city. Instead, he will lead his family and a few confidants to hide in a house in the city, and even secretly buy a house in the city before the news of Hou Meide's defeat came out."

"It makes sense." Li Gong nodded, thought for a while and said, "If this is the case, it will be a good thing. When you bring everyone in the city back to Anxi in a few days, you can definitely turn him out of the city.

But if he escaped from the city, he did not retreat with thousands of food troops, but instead fled into a certain village with his men?"

"We can issue a sea captivity document throughout Khorasan, or we don't do it, but wait for Kussan to return to Mulu City to ask him to search for He Pu, and hope that he will find him some rewards."

"If the Hai Captain's Document cannot be searched, even if Kuss-Old Sassan, it cannot be searched? This is not impossible."

"If this is true, I can only give up." Liu Qi thought for a while and said. They could invest more resources to search He Pu, but no matter how much resources they invested, they might not be able to find it. Secondly, catching He Pu was just to exert his anger to the entire army, and it would have little impact on the future situation in Anxi, and it was not cost-effective.

"If the soldiers of the army really hate He Pu too much and insist on catching this person, it would be better to find a death row prisoner who looks similar to He Pu and then tell the soldiers that they successfully captured He Pu, but He Pu tried his best to resist and failed to capture him alive. Then he would just dismantle the body pretending to be He Pu. This would save resources." He said again.

"You are cheating the soldiers."

"Of course, my subordinates don't want to deceive him, but if He Pu hides his name in a certain village and insists on appeaseing the soldiers, he can only do this."

"If the corpse is fake, isn't real He Pu's corpse spread?"

"No, if you want to do this, you will definitely choose the person you trust the most. If it really doesn't work, you can use some reason to send the death row prisoner who looks like He Pu to Khorasan and hand over this matter to the people of the Sassanian family. No one in Anxi knows the inside story completely except His Highness and his subordinates, so there is no need to worry about the leak."

"Your way..." Li Gong was stunned for a moment. He was not resistant to making a fake He Pu's body to deceive the soldiers. Similar things were recorded in history books, and this was a lie of kindness, which was understandable.

But Liu Qi's approach stunned him, and he had never heard of it.

‘What’s the matter? This is so simple these days, there is no concept of outsourcing. In the future, there are only things about subcontracting the seven or eight layers of subcontracting. Even if it is exposed, it is impossible to find out who was the first person to outsource the business.’ When Liu Qi saw Li Gong’s expression, he couldn’t help but think in his heart.

"Will the soldiers be deceived and talk about it later? Perhaps the soldiers who attacked the city did not forget He Pu. After learning about He Pu's residence, they immediately sent troops to attack. He Pu did not escape into the residence of the people in the city or escape from the city. They were then captured or killed by the soldiers." After a while, Li Gong said.

"Your Highness is saying." Liu Qi agreed, lowering his head to eat seriously. Li Gong was thinking about outsourcing things in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt, and he didn't have the intention to continue chatting with Liu Qi, and the account became quiet for a while.

But the silence was quickly broken. The two had just had supper and were walking in the tent for a few steps to digest food. The guards sent by Liu Qi to ask came back, and then entered the tent and saluted them.

"No need to be too polite. What is He Pu's whereabouts?" Li Gong asked directly.

"Your Highness, Lieutenant, He Pu is dead."

"He Pu is dead? Fortunately." Li Gong breathed a sigh of relief and said. It is naturally better to capture He Pu alive than to kill He Pu alive, but the possibility of capturing He Pu alive is very small. He and Liu Qi did not expect it at the beginning, so they were quite satisfied with the result.

"You told Meng Feijun to take the body, forgot, it's too late now, so don't always go back and forth in the city outside the city. Go back and rest. I will go out and tell Meng Feijun to send the body to the camp outside the city tomorrow so that all the soldiers will know that this person has been killed."

After saying this, Li Gong remembered something again and asked without waiting for the guard to respond: "Is He Pu's body still complete? It was not cut into several sections in the fierce battle, right?"

Li Gong's last question should be answered very well, but the guard's face turned a little strange after hearing it. He paused and said, "Your Highness, He Pu's body is very intact and has not been damaged."

"Why did your expression look like this?" The guard's answer was no problem, but Liu Qi noticed the change in expression and asked in response.

"Your Highness, Lieutenant, is this because He Pu was not killed by our soldiers, but committed suicide?"

"It was also a suicide?" Li Gong and Liu Qi both showed a look of surprise on their faces, and they asked in unison.

“It’s true.”
