Although he had some guesses, when he actually saw Li Huang's face, the shock on his face still could not be calmed down.
"Princess, why are you..."
How could he allow the emperor's favorite daughter to go out of the capital and risk her life?
As soon as those hidden guards took action, he recognized them. They were the dragon guards beside the emperor.
"Master Marquis, the Second Master Han has occupied Lin'an City and is king. I have received the news. The Marquis of Shun'an has led his troops to reinforce. You should go back quickly."
After that, she threw a bottle of golden medicine to him.
"I still have important matters to attend to, so I won't say more to you. Please take care of yourself."
She turned around to go back to lead her horse, but was stopped by An Yihou.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the King of Lin'an may have returned to his fiefdom. This time, I am just making an attack in the east and attacking in the west."
"Before the princess goes to Sanzhou, she might as well go to Lishui first."
Li Huang paused and turned to look at him: "What does the Marquis mean by this?"
An Yihou coughed twice and said: "When I escaped from there, I found that there was a heavy guard there..."
Li Huang's face was stern. Lishui was not a wealthy city. On the contrary, it was mostly hills, which was neither suitable for growing rice nor vegetables and fruits.
There isn’t even a large piece of complete land there. Local people want to plant something, so they basically plant seeds interspersed among the rocks.
Therefore, the imperial court had a tax reduction policy for Lishui.
If there is any difference, it is probably that there is a river flowing to Sanzhou and Lin'an City at the same time...
Li Huang's eyes narrowed, and then he solemnly nodded to Marquis An Yi: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for reminding me."
After saying that, she took Ling Yuan back to the tying place, filled the water bag, and got on the horse again.
Lingyuan was a little puzzled: "Your Highness, aren't we going to find Prince Mo in a hurry?"
Why did you go to Lishui again?
They rode very fast, and when they opened their mouths, wind poured into their mouths, making their words somewhat unclear.
But Li Huang still heard clearly, and she replied: "Controlling Lishui means controlling Sanzhou and Lin'an."
The other party's ambush on Mo Jingzhan was nothing more than hoping for a mantis to feed the cicada. The oriole was behind. Now that the Turks had just been defeated, the imperial court had not yet sent anyone to control it. It was a time of turmoil.
At this time, if we take the opportunity to hold Lin'an and Sanzhou in our hands, then the Turks will be out of the question.
These three large pieces of land combined are enough to rival the Great Yuan.
The person behind that is really a good calculator!
However, now that she is here, she will not let the other party succeed.
As for Mo Jingzhan, as long as his body was not found, she believed that he would have a way out of danger.
Here, Li Huang hurried to Lishui, and Mo Jingzhan, whom she missed, was in a tribe at Yadi.
This tribe was so well hidden that groups of people went down to Yadi but could not find Mo Jingzhan.
And the leader of this tribe is none other than the part of the Rong family army that luckily did not die in the battle a few years ago.
This place seems isolated from the world, but in fact there is a mountain road that leads directly to the outside.
They never forgot that tragic battle that year.
It was Pingyang Hou who colluded with Chenghua and exchanged a list with Xiyue. In the end, he killed two birds with one stone, getting rid of Rong An Hou and his son, and also destroying the Rong family army.
And that list is exactly the one Pingyang Hou hid in the Red Cherry Spear.
That list was a list of all the spies lurking in Dayuan in West Vietnam.
Before, Mo Jingzhan sent people to check and found that the people above were either dead or missing.
But the remnants of the Rong Family Army told him that those people were still alive and had just secretly returned to West Vietnam.
Moreover, because of their lurking and meritorious service, they all received generous rewards in Western Vietnam.
This made Mo Jingzhan even more determined to destroy Xiyue.
As soon as he recovered from his injury, he sent a letter to the current Marquis of Rong'an, briefly stating the whole story, and formulating a strategy with him to unite the northwest in an attempt to destroy Western Vietnam.
At first, Marquis Rongan just wanted to avenge his past humiliation and seize half of his country in Western Vietnam.
But after receiving Mo Jingzhan's letter, the hatred in his heart reached its peak!
If this shameless little country does not destroy him, it will use the same means to deal with Dayuan in the future. This is something he will never agree to.
As a result, the West Vietnamese Army discovered that their plan to take a two-day break and fight again was completely in vain.
Because Dayuan had come out against the rules and launched a fierce attack, which made them exhausted to deal with.
Here, the master and servant Li Huang have not yet entered Lishui, but they saw officers and soldiers in the next town trying to recruit young men.
The people in the town were crying for their fathers and calling for their mothers, and there was chaos.
In broad daylight, there were few people doing business on the street, and few houses were open.
In order to avoid arrests from the government, those who had men at home were running out in a hurry.
Lingyuan was curious, so she grabbed an aunt and asked: "There is no news of conscription on the front line. What are they doing to arrest so many people?"
The aunt glanced at her and lowered her voice and asked, "Are you two from other places? I advise you to leave quickly to avoid being arrested together later."
Li Huang dressed in men's clothing, so the aunt gave her a worried look and then ran away in a hurry.
He looked like he was afraid of getting into trouble.
Li Huang frowned: "Go and find out who those arresters are."
Lingyuan nodded, handed the horse to the inn clerk, and headed towards the crowded place.
Not long after, she came back.
"Your Highness, those officers and soldiers came from Lishui, and they also captured Lishui. They have been arresting young men since the beginning of last year. No one who has been captured has come out of Lishui alive."
It's so abnormal that even ghosts wouldn't believe it if they said there was nothing fishy in it.
Li Huang looked at her: "You will also dress up as a man tomorrow."
"ah?"
Lingyuan was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Your Highness, you don't want to be caught together, right?"
Li Huang stroked the cup and looked at her: "Otherwise, can you sneak in?"
She just sat in the inn lobby for a while and listened to a lot.
Foreigners who want to enter Lishui City will undergo strict interrogation and will be allowed into the city only after it is confirmed that there are no problems.
Moreover, even after entering the city, they are not allowed to move around at will. The officers and soldiers in the city will strictly monitor their every move.
Not to mention anything else, just because the identity documents of the two of them are difficult to pass, this interrogation will reveal the truth?
Even if there is a way to sneak in, two new faces in the city will attract more attention.
Therefore, she thought it would be better to take advantage of the situation and get caught.
At the very least, she could know directly what those people did after they were arrested and brought into the city.
Lingyuan was a little worried: "But Your Highness, what if they want to search me?"
