Chapter 41
It took only one day for the King of Xiang to turn the entire Luocheng upside down, but there was no discovery. The King of Xiang had no choice but to summon a large number of people to march towards the nearby counties, and dispatched thousands of people in a total of open and secret ways. The purpose of such a large-scale search was only one, which was to dig three feet into the ground and find the prince Zhu Yunwen.
"Hu Wei, how is the situation of the return of each battalion?"
"His Royal Highness Xiang, each battalion has returned to defend about half of its troops, and has gathered about 30,000 elite troops."
"There is indeed a little less than 30,000 elite soldiers, but there is still no problem dealing with Zhu Yunwen."
In addition to mobilizing a large number of troops to find Zhu Yunwen, King Xiang actually mobilized his own army. In addition to doing this just in case, it was mainly to eliminate Zhu Yunwen. He knew very well that those thousands of troops alone might not be the prince's opponent. After all, he could mobilize thousands of troops to capture the villa at any time, so he had at least thousands of elite soldiers in his hand. King Xiang still overestimated Zhu Yunwen, after all, there were only three hundred elite soldiers around him, and this included the two hundred elite soldiers lent to him by He Shouzheng.
Zhu Yunwen's 300 elite soldiers and Xiang King's 3000 elite soldiers are not a little short of their strength, but Zhu Yunwen still has his advantage, that is, his whereabouts have not been discovered yet. This should be a good example for his concealment. He served as a medicinal merchant along the way and was a special agent in the palace. In this way, no matter whether it is officers, soldiers or civilians, they dare not stop it rashly. Even if they encounter some levels that need to be checked, they can pass without any obstacles.
"You guys have been searching for three days and haven't even seen a picture of them."
"Please calm down your anger with Your Highness Xiang! I doubt that the Crown Prince will return to the capital or return to his fiefdom."
"That's definitely impossible in the capital. After all, I have arranged a lot of people in the capital."
"Then the prince has a great chance to return to his fiefdom."
The King of Xiang also thought so, but he had no choice. Not to mention whether the prince was in that fiefdom, but in that place with iron walls, he was not sure to take it down with only 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands.
"Mr. Yao, King Xiang did as you expected, sending a large number of troops to pursue the whereabouts of the prince, and he even assembled his army."
"General Wu, how many troops did King Xiang gather?"
"A total of 30,000 people."
"Hahaha, what a Xiang King, who actually gathered 30,000 people to deal with the prince. It seems that he is going crazy."
Yao Guangxiao believed that the situation in Xiang was hopeless. Even if he had the ability to kill Zhu Yunwen, it could be said that he would definitely not escape the blame. However, there is another variable here, that is, Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts. If he had never found Zhu Yunwen, then everything would be in vain.
"General Wu, please ask your people to inquire about the news immediately, and report to me immediately if you find out the whereabouts of the prince."
"Military advisor, I know what to do."
General Wu is also a very cunning guy. In order to find His Royal Highness, he actually changed the portrait of the prince slightly and said that he was a thief in the flower-picking thief, so there will naturally be clues. The general's original name is Wu Ji, the younger brother of Wu Fa, the prefect of Jinling, and he is the biggest backstage of the Wu family's father and son. This is also a major reason why the Wu family dared to do something wrong in Jinling.
"General Wu, we have searched every household but still haven't found it..."
"this……"
General Wu had no choice but to report it truthfully, but Yao Guangxiao was unexpectedly not meant to blame him at all, and in the end he didn't have to continue looking for it.
"Military advisor, we really don't need to continue to find him?"
"No need, if you look for it again, you will be alarmed."
"Is this really OK?"
"General Wu, I'll give you a solution. You can only let those guarding the city gate take a closer look at the portrait. If you really find anything, you'll report it."
"Military advisor, I know what to do."
Huadu gradually returned to peace, and the relatives of Luocheng were not so peaceful, and it could even be said to be bloody and storm. This was not because of Zhu Yunwen. King Xiang searched for seven days without any news. In the end, he actually executed a hundred people and announced an amazing decision.
"You only have three days, and if you can't find them again, you will all die."
"Li Ping, the same is true for you. If they can't find anyone, you will die."
This is the ultimatum for Li Ping to King Xiang. It can be said that if he can't find Zhu Yunwen, he will apologize for his death. Li Ping became soft after hearing the news, but what else can he do, unless he can really find Zhu Yunwen.
"Why are you still standing there? You haven't gone to find someone."
"Sir Li, where can we find it? We are not gods."
"immortal?"
When Li Ping heard the word "god" and suddenly remembered a god like Yao Guangxiao, but not to mention the whereabouts of Yao Guangxiao, even if he was the King of Xiang, there was nothing he could do.
"Is this the God of Heaven and I..."
Li Ping couldn't help but burst into tears, but at this moment, he actually thought of a solution. Li Ping thought that it was General Wu, who was the direct person of King Yan. When Yao Guangxiao met him, he was in General Wu's jurisdiction. Li Ping finally decided to go to Huadu to try his luck, but because Hua was the fief of King Yan, Li Ping could not lead his troops there. Li Ping could not tell the King of Xiang even more about his thoughts. After all, he might be suspected of colluding with the enemy.
"Mr. Li, what wind has blown you here."
"General Wu, I'm going to be honest with you. I'm here to find the gentleman this time."
"Mr. Li, how do you know that Mr. is here with me?"
"General Wu, you said that, sir is really here."
"Yes."
Li Ping almost knelt down to General Wu, but General Wu just agreed to introduce him. After all, even he was not reversible by the military advisor's will.
"General Wu, I know it's embarrassing you, but it's up to the lives of the next family. Must be sure to come to see me."
"Mr. Li, I will do my best."
Yao Guangxiao didn't expect Li Ping to catch up. After all, it would be okay to meet him by fate. Yao Guangxiao soon met Li Ping, but he didn't expect Li Ping to cry on the spot.
"Mr. Yao, you want to save me and my family."
"Mr. Li, everything has its cause and effect, even if I help you escape..."
"Mr. Yao, you can do anything to help me escape this disaster."
Yao Guangxiao could have helped Li Ping escape, but he knew very well that even if Li Ping, who had done so many evil things, could never end up in a good end. However, Li Ping is still valuable to Yao Guangxiao now, so Yao Guangxiao decided to help him.
