Xu Wei, who had received the inquiry news from the East Palace earlier, felt confused.
Although Li Yinhu's whereabouts have become somewhat mysterious recently, generally speaking, the whole palace is still calm and there are no unusual changes.
So when he learned that the prince wanted to know about Li Yinhu's recent anomalies, he immediately understood that he was still sent out by Li Yinhu for some matters.
Isn't this strange?
Li Yinhu has been cautious for so many years, so naturally he cannot completely trust someone.
Even though he has been favored recently, if he really encounters something important and confidential, Xu Wei thinks that Li Yinhu will most likely use other confidants who have followed him for many years.
Over the past few days, Xu Wei knew that he had cultivated a group of dead soldiers beside Li Yinhu.
The origins of those dead soldiers are all mysterious, and they have little contact with other people in the palace. Even if Xu Wei is now the chief guard of the palace, there are some people and places that he has no control over.
Until now, the only thing Xu Wei can be sure of is that these dead soldiers are very different from the people in the Central Plains in terms of language, life style, and dressing habits. They look like a certain ethnic minority and not Han people.
With the intention of inquiring about the news, Xu Wei came to the main courtyard of the palace where Li Yinhu was.
"Master Guard."
"See the Lord Guard."
Along the way, the patrolling guards along the way stood on both sides and saluted when they saw Xu Wei.
Xu Wei raised his eyebrows, stopped a group of passing guards, and said, "Today is not a big day, so why has the defense in the palace increased so much? No one informed me?"
A guard immediately replied respectfully: "Reporting to the captain of the guard, this is an order personally issued by the prince. From today on, the patrols in the palace will be increased from the original three shifts to six shifts. The guards in the palace are not allowed to take vacations and must work full time.
Stand guard in the mansion."
Xu Wei frowned.
In fact, most of the time the guards of the palace are just a face-saving project.
After all, the palace is in the capital. As long as they are not crazy, no one will attack the palace.
And when someone really dares to attack the palace, they won't care about these guards who usually lack training and weapons.
But Prince Zhao's Mansion is different.
In Prince Zhao's Mansion, the general guards were under his control, and he knew very well that the few manpower under his command was simply not enough to support six squads of people patrolling around the clock.
Now that the manpower has doubled, but I never knew it, it can be proved that the extra manpower is not the people under my control at all.
It can only be another dead soldier that Li Yinhu raised privately.
The prince has raised a group of dead soldiers, which is a taboo.
Therefore, Li Yinhu usually protected these dead soldiers very strictly, but now he showed it openly.
This made Xu Wei realize that things were not simple.
"I understand, you can continue patrolling."
After calmly letting these guards leave, Xu Wei walked towards the main courtyard unhurriedly.
Before he could enter, someone stopped him at the door.
"Stop, no one is allowed to enter without the prince's order."
Looking at the guard in front of him who was wearing guard armor, but his appearance was unfamiliar, and his appearance and temperament were very different from those of the Chinese Han people, Xu Wei pretended not to know and his face sank, and he said: "I am the captain of the guard personally appointed by the prince, why can't even I go in?"
?Are you blind!?"
The guard, who was short in stature but had extremely fierce eyes, stared at Xu Wei and said in an unskilled mandarin: "The prince has an order, and those who trespass will die!"
