More than half a month after Chen Yue returned to the palace, Huangfu Yanling finally returned to Liangzhou City.

He has been running around outside these days, dealing with matters related to the blood drops.

Unlike Liaodong, the blood drops in Beiliang were even more hidden, so it took Wentiansi a lot of effort.

On the stone steps halfway up the hillside of Prince Liang's Mansion, Chen Yue and Huangfu Yanling were walking slowly. Although the sun was shining brightly above their heads, the Prince's Mansion was shaded by trees, so they would not sweat profusely.

Chenyue's eyes always stayed on the pile of information in his hand, which was just sent by Huangfu Yanling.

"In Qing County, there are about two hundred troops stationed in the patrol camp. Most of them are selected from young and strong men in the city. The commander of the patrol camp, He Jing, has a gentle personality, but he is strict in running the army."

"Yongquan County, the county magistrate Chen Tian is a native of Youzhou. He has attended private schools for several years. He is not very knowledgeable but has good conduct. It is said that he is deeply appreciated by the upper class in officialdom."

"The terrain of Angou Mountain in Liangzhou is steep and steep, and the mountain is so steep that it cannot be drawn on a map. The villages at the foot of the mountain are scattered, and they are where people live together~"

…

All this information was captured by Huangfu Yanling during the process of exterminating the Xuedizi.

From the information on officials at all levels to the living conditions of people in mountain villages, Xuedizi is trying his best to collect everything he can, which is exactly the same thing as Liaodong Xuedizi did.

Some of the information seems useless on the surface. I really don't know why Xuedizi did it in such detail.

"Haha~"

Chenyue looked cheerful, pointing at the information and said with a smile:

"The good officials marked by the blood droplets must be informed to Master Song so that they can be put to good use in the future.

I didn’t expect that they would help us select officials, these people are really caring.”

"The prince is so thoughtful."

Huangfu Yanling smiled bitterly.

From behind the information, he saw a big hand covering Liang Di's head. Huangfu Yanling felt a chill on his back, but Chen Yue could still laugh.

Chen Yue clasped his hands behind his back and said softly: "Let me tell you first, how is the cleaning of the blood droplets going?"

Huangfu Yanling bowed and said:

"In the past few months, a total of 17 hidden piles of blood droplets have been destroyed in Beiliang, and 281 blood droplets have been captured and killed. Most of them are located in Youzhou, Liangzhou. Very few blood droplets have been found in Shuozhou.

.

As for the so-called blood-clothed envoy who appeared in Liaodong, Beiliang has not found any trace of him at all, and he has been hidden very deep."

"There are more than two hundred people, which seems to be a bit more than Liaodong." Chen Yue narrowed his eyes.

Beiliang is the place where the Liang army started. It seems that Xue Dizi attaches great importance to Beiliang.

"As for the blood-clothed envoy, we still need to spend more time looking for it. It would be better if we can fish it out." Chen Yue warned.

Since there is a so-called blood-clothed envoy in Liaodong, there must be one in Beiliang, and there is a high probability that he is a descendant of a wealthy family in Longxi.

The blood-clothed envoy was not caught, which means that there is still a large number of blood drops hidden in Beiliang.

"Promise, Wentian Si will do his best!" Huangfu Yanling bowed in response.

"What a troublesome thing~ Okay, you've been busy enough these past few months, go back and rest first."

Chenyue muttered and stretched. He was really worried if these blood drops were not completely cleaned up.

But Huangfu Yanling did not leave, but showed an expression of hesitation to speak.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Chenyue asked doubtfully.

Huangfu Yanling hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, there is something that I am not sure whether I should say."

"Haha, is there anything else you can't make up your mind about?" Chen Yue smiled, waved his hand and said, "Tell me."

Huangfu Yanling said in a deep voice: "We got information a while ago that there was a hidden stake of blood droplets not far outside Liangzhou City. The information was obtained from the survivors who were captured.

As soon as I got the news, I arranged for his subordinates to arrest him, and the delay was less than a day.

However, when the secret guards arrived, the place was already deserted, and many things that were not taken away in time were burned. It was obvious that they left in a hurry.

This thing is a bit..."

Chen Yue's eyes turned cold and he said calmly: "You mean, someone leaked the news in advance? There is a traitor among us?"

Huangfu Yanling gave a wry smile and nodded. He thought that Wentiansi's movements were fast enough and that the person he caught was very hidden, but he still escaped one step ahead of him.

Apart from a traitor passing on information, he couldn't think of any other reason.

A cold light flashed from Chen Yue's eyes. Prince Liang put his hands behind his back and tightened his grip on the paper slightly.

Their location is exactly halfway up Lingyue Mountain, and they can see a large area of ​​Liangzhou City scenery.

Chenyue's eyes remained motionless, looking at Liangzhou City with a blank expression. He was no longer in the mood to appreciate the scenery all over the city.

Huangfu Yanling continued:

"The minister reviewed it later and found that I, the secret guard of Wentiansi, was responsible for the entire operation. I checked everyone who participated in the operation. There is absolutely no problem."

"What's going on?" Chen Yue frowned.

He believed in Huangfu Yanling's ability and also believed in Wentiansi that there would be no internal problems in Wentiansi.

Since the people who asked Tiansi had no problem and the others did not participate in the operation, why did the news leak?

Huangfu Yanling whispered:

"Although no one else participated in the operation, a large number of secret guards left the city in the middle of the night, and people from the Liangzhou City patrol camp and garrison saw it...

Of course, it’s possible that Xuedizi has some other means to find out the information, but I don’t know for sure.”

Huangfu Yanling said it very tactfully.

Chen Yue suddenly turned his head and looked at Huangfu Yanling, who did not avoid Chen Yue's gaze at all.

Chenyue understood what Huangfu Yanling meant. Huangfu Yanling suspected that there was something wrong with the garrison in Liangzhou City.

This is the capital of Liangdi, and the reliability of the garrison is already the highest.

"Hoo~"

After pondering for a long time, Chen Yue breathed out the turbid air in his chest and said softly:

"If Wentiansi can find evidence, arrest the person, if not, forget it.

These people are all people who have sold their lives at the border and been knifed. They cannot be doubted casually. Once the news about the search for traitors spreads among the military, how many people will be chilled?

If we don’t trust our own brothers, who can we trust?”

Huangfu Yanling bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have many ministers."

Chenyue rubbed his brows and muttered: "These damn drops of blood."

While the two were chatting, Chu Yucheng walked up the stone steps on the mountain and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, hey, Yan Ling is here too."

Huangfu Yanling smiled and returned the salute.

Chenyue shook his head, trying to get rid of the worries in his heart, and chuckled:

"How come you, the envoy of the Protectorate, are free to come to the palace today?"

Chu Yucheng's face became serious and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I just received the news that Tielong is coming and has entered the country from Wuguan."
