From arriving in Liangzhou City to deciding to personally cross the Tianshan Mountains to explore the enemy's situation, the process only took half an hour. Wei Changtian didn't even sit down to take a sip of water.
Liang Zhen and the other three were all stunned when they heard this, but after thinking for a moment, they didn't say anything.
After all, no matter from which angle you look at it, Wei Changtian is indeed the best candidate for this trip.
Of course, he definitely can't go alone.
But it’s not that easy to choose the person who will accompany you.
First of all, in order to be concealed, the number of people cannot be too large.
Secondly, for the sake of speed and safety, everyone’s level cannot be too low.
"Yang Liushi and Zhang San will go with me."
Soon, Wei Changtian took the lead in naming two candidates.
He didn't say it casually, but these two people are indeed useful.
Zhang San was at the sixth level before he followed him. In the past two years, his cultivation resources have been piling up, and now he is already at the fifth level.
The same goes for Yang Liushi. Ever since she followed Wei Changtian, she has never broken the demon spirit pill, and she already has the strength of the fifth level.
Although the combat power of the middle third-level realm is not very strong, it will not be a hindrance at all.
More importantly, Zhang San's photographic memory and Yang Liushi's illusion skills will most likely play a huge role in this kind of "investigation" activity.
And besides that...
"General Han, could you please find someone from the city who is familiar with the situation in the Tianshan Mountains to be our guide on this trip."
After speaking to Han Zhao, Wei Changtian turned to look at Liang Zhen: "Uncle Liang, lend me a third-grade deputy general. The stronger the better."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
"No problem, just don't worry, Changtian."
Han Zhao and Liang Zhen quickly agreed, then asked again with some worry:
"Do you need anyone else?"
"No."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "When there are more people, it is difficult to hide the whereabouts, and it is easy to create extraneous branches."
"Five people, that's enough."
...
...
Half an hour later, in a secret room of the Liangzhou government office.
The aroma of tea lingered, and Wei Changtian was sitting opposite a military man in white armor.
This man's name is Huang Sheng, he belongs to the Liangzhou Army, his official title is Colonel, and he is considered a middle-level officer.
Although the realm of Huang Province is not too high, the fourth level is not low either.
More importantly, he once escorted the envoys of Zhan Shifu across the Tianshan Mountains to visit the Emperor of Ji State.
After crossing the Tianshan Mountains once and twice, even if I don't know the overall situation of this snow-capped mountain, I at least know a route that can reach Ji Country.
Therefore, he will serve as Wei Changtian's guide on this trip.
"..."
"Captain Huang, General Han should have told you everything that needs to be said."
After taking a sip of hot tea, Wei Changtian raised his eyes and looked at the obviously uneasy man opposite him.
"Our actions are of great importance, and may affect the direction of future wars, and even the life and death of Daning."
"But you don't have to be nervous, just do your part."
"When we come back, I will ask General Han for credit no matter what, and it won't be considered a wasted trip for you."
"No villain dares to be greedy for credit!"
Huang Sheng stood up from the chair with a bang, and his voice was loud.
Although he was nervous, he still had military qualities and stood up straight.
"When the country is facing a crisis, a villain should serve the country! Even more so, he should obey the orders of his superiors!"
"Please rest assured, young master!"
The sonorous and powerful voice shook the tea in the cup, and Wei Changtian finally had a smile on his face.
"Hahaha, Captain Huang said it well."
"Then this trip will be a blessing to you."
"Don't dare!"
Huang Sheng answered loudly again: "It is a small man's honor to serve the emperor and the young master!"
"..."
First the emperor, then the prince.
Now everyone in Daning knows that Ning Wenjun is half a puppet of the Wei family, and Wei Changtian is half the head of the Wei family.
Therefore, if most people want to talk about the two together, they will usually put Wei Changtian in front of Ning Wenjun.
But this was not the case with Huang Sheng. Not only did he put Ning Wenjun in front of him, but judging from his expression, he didn't feel that he had said anything wrong.
So in his heart, he really felt that the emperor was greater than everything else.
More importantly, he dared to say this in front of Wei Changtian.
He has an upright temperament...
He murmured in his heart that Wei Changtian was very indifferent to this and had no reaction on his face.
He was just about to say something else, but there was a knock on the door.
"Long sky."
The person who came was Liang Zhen, followed by a man wearing blue armor.
"This is Lu Huang. He has been with me for nearly ten years. Although his strength is not the top among the third-level ones, he is not far behind me..."
Liang Zhen gave a brief introduction, and the man named Lu Huang immediately stood up and said:
"Last General Lu Huang! I have met Mr. Wei!"
"Um."
After looking Lu Huang up and down, Wei Changtian nodded slightly and signaled that Liang Zhen could go.
The latter nodded and quickly left the secret room.
Wei Changtian didn't chat much with Lu Huang, he just turned around and said something suddenly to the screen in the room.
"Miss Li, come out."
"..."
Under the gaze of the three people, Li Zimu slowly appeared from behind the screen, obviously having been waiting here for a long time.
Both Lu Huang and Huang Sheng had actually noticed this aura a long time ago, but Wei Changtian didn't say anything and they didn't dare to ask.
As for what Wei Changtian is going to do...
"Captain Huang, General Lu, this girl is a guest of my Wei family."
"I still have some things to do, so I'll let her talk to you for a while."
"Yes... Master, but it doesn't matter if you go."
Although they were a little confused, Lu Huang and Huang Sheng could not disobey their orders, so they had no choice but to bow and watch Wei Changtian leave.
The door to the secret room opened and closed, and then they heard a gentle voice behind them.
"Both of you, please take a seat."
"..."
...
Two quarters of an hour later, Li Zimu found Wei Changtian who was drinking tea in another secret room.
"Sir, General Lu and Colonel Huang should be fine."
"Are you sure?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I can't say that I'm 100% sure, but 99% of it won't be the work of an enemy country."
"OK."
Nodding, Wei Changtian didn't ask Li Zimu how he tested it.
Anyway, this is just a precaution. It is impossible for everyone to be a spy.
If he hadn't experienced the embarrassment of not having enough system points, he would have given each of them a Puppet Pill.
But now that plum wood is available, save what you can. Good steel should be used on the blade.
"Miss Li, you also know the reason for my trip."
After a pause, Wei Changtian looked at Li Zimu and said, "After I leave, follow Uncle Liang. He will take you to meet some people."
"And what you have to do is to find out whether these people are traitors."
"Well?"
Li Zimu was stunned: "Master, do you think this is because someone in Daning leaked the secret?"
"I don't know, I just feel that if the art of witchcraft and Gu can really distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, then Dajue would have been invincible in the world."
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone: "Besides, no matter what, it's always right to be more careful."
"..."
Li Zimu nodded, feeling somewhat inexplicable in his heart.
She has known since she was a child that she is different from other children, but she does not know what the specific differences are.
It wasn't until she grew older and matured mentally that she realized that she could read other people's thoughts.
Of course, this does not mean "you can tell what the other person is thinking at a glance".
It is a comprehensive analysis that combines language, behavior, expression, and logic.
In fact, many people can do this kind of thing if they deliberately train. For example, Chu Xianping also has certain mind-reading abilities.
It's just that plums are innate.
She has always felt that this skill is of little use. At most, it can always get the lowest price when bargaining with vegetable vendors.
It often even causes her some trouble.
And it wasn't until he met Wei Changtian and followed the latter to the capital and Liangzhou that Li Zimu understood... It turns out that the same skills can be used in different places and have completely different values.
In the past, even if she guessed the "psychological bottom price" of the vegetable vendor, she could only save a few coppers.
But now, the objects of her "mind reading" have been replaced by emperors, generals, courtiers and other important figures.
And once she "reads" something that she shouldn't "read", countless people may die as a result.
