"… Dugu Xin was attacked by an assassin and almost died?!"
Taiyuan City, the Provincial Governor's Residence.
Li Junxian had rushed over in a hurry, and when he learned from Wang Liaoyuan what had happened in Taiyuan City in the last two days, he couldn't help but be alarmed.
When Li Er had sent him to Taiyuan City to protect Li Tai's group, he had believed that this would be an easy mission. After all, Taiyuan City was a major city in the north of the Great Tang, and its security was naturally much better than that of a small county on the northern border. Moreover, Li Tai had one thousand Imperial Army soldiers protecting him, so he would probably be in a lot of danger!
But to Li Junxian's surprise, the moment he arrived in Taiyuan City, the city was sealed and martial law was imposed. Then, he heard from Wang Liaoyuan that Dugu Xin had been attacked by an assassin and that there was a secret faction hiding in Taiyuan City. The situation in Taiyuan City was far more urgent than he had expected!
"This mysterious faction is far too crafty. They used bait to confuse us, and then by revealing that they had abandoned their son, they lured General Dugu to the southern part of the city, giving them a chance to strike! Fortunately, there was a famous doctor in Sourcepeak City who helped General Dugu escape from danger. This official has already ordered the Bing Province Barracks to search the entire city for the assassins and strengthen the patrols in the city. Presumably, this group of people will go into hiding for a short period of time and won't dare to stir up trouble again! "
Wang Liaoyuan clasped his hands as he spoke to Li Junxian.
He was also deeply surprised and shocked by Li Junxian's arrival. Li Junxian was the commander of one hundred cavalry, and this cavalry was Li Er's most trusted and elite force. Li Junxian's arrival meant that Li Er was extremely concerned about Li Tai's safety. This placed Wang Liaoyuan under great pressure!
After all, Li Er had given him seven days to solve the case. Li Junxian's arrival was a covert attempt by Li Er to put pressure on him!
"How is His Highness's safety? Does the mysterious faction in the city already know why His Highness and the students from Yanhuang College have come to Taiyuan City? "
Wang Liaoyuan's words did nothing to ease Li Junxian's nervousness and wariness. He suddenly remembered something important and sternly asked.
Although Li Tai's mission in Taiyuan was top secret, Li Junxian was one of Li Tai's most trusted subordinates, and he was also one of the commanders tasked with protecting Li Tai. He naturally knew about it. Thus, Li Junxian was well aware that if Li Tai's goal in coming to Taiyuan City was revealed, there was a high chance that the steppe would send people to sabotage, even assassinate them!
"There is no need to worry about His Highness King Wei's safety. As for why His Highness and the others have come to Sourcepeak City, even this official doesn't know. I presume that the mysterious faction in the city doesn't know either!"
Wang Liaoyuan pondered for a moment before replying.
Li Junxian relaxed a little and clasped his fist. "Since that's the case, this general will take his leave! Governor Wang, please keep the news of us coming to Taiyuan a secret. The enemy is in the dark. His Highness not only needs someone to protect him on the surface, but also in the dark! "
Wang Liaoyuan nodded. "General Li, be at ease. This official will not mention your identities to anyone! But on His Highness's side … "
Li Junxian said, "We will continue to protect His Highness from the shadows. When the time is right, we will naturally appear!"
"Okay!"
Wang Liaoyuan naturally didn't dare to say more.
Li Junxian clasped his fist and left with his men.
