"Reporting to the general, this general followed your orders to search the fifth house on the east side of Shuo Ren Fang when it was dark. There was indeed no one in the house, but this subordinate found many weapons in the garden in the backyard. However, this subordinate does not know if they are the weapons that the government is searching for among the people today!"
In a residence near Tongfu Inn, a soldier cupped his fist and reported to Li Junxian.
This soldier's name was Yan Gui. During the day, Li Junxian had ordered him to infiltrate the fifth residence on the east side of Shuanren Lane (the place where Kang Changan and Zhu Xecheng had been hiding) and search to see if he could find anything new. Li Junxian had given this order on a whim as he had no idea what the situation in the city was like. He didn't have much hope, but to his surprise, Yan Gui had actually found something.
"Oh? How many weapons are there? Where are they now? "
Li Junxian asked, his expression shifting.
"General, there are seven swords, twenty-one scimitars, and some hidden weapons! This subordinate and my brothers have already brought back all the weapons! "
Yan Gui cupped his fist and replied.
"Seven swords, twenty-one scimitars? And some hidden weapons? "
Li Junxian frowned and muttered, "Based on the number of weapons, the enemy doesn't have many people! But since Zhao Deyan dared to stir up a storm in the city and plot against all of Taiyuan City, he can't have just this much strength! This meant that the house was most likely the place where a portion of his subordinates once stayed! As the saying goes, a crafty rabbit has three burrows, and there must be many other places like this. This Zhao Deyan truly isn't simple! "
Li Junxian turned to another soldier and asked, "Zhao Kang, I had you send a letter to the Hundred Cavalry Department to investigate Zhao Deyan's identity. Has it been sent?"
The soldier cupped his fist and replied, "General, the letter has been sent! In addition, this morning, you ordered this general to take men to the north of the city to see if there were any carrier pigeons flying out. This general and my men stood guard in the north of the city until nightfall, but we did not see any carrier pigeons flying out! Should we continue to stand guard in the north of the city tomorrow? "
Near noon, Li Junxian had led one hundred cavalry into the city. After learning about the current situation in Taiyuan City from Wang Liaoyuan, he had determined that the faction hiding in the city was probably a Turkic spy. Thus, he had sent Zhao Kang and his men to the north of Taiyuan City to intercept the carrier pigeons!
Li Junxian shook his head. "There's no need! We were too late! Zhao Deyan has already sent the letter! "
In the evening, he learned from Governor Wang at the Provincial Governor's Manor that the letter that Han Lizheng brought to Taiyuan was sent by Zhao Deyan. He then knew that his order in the morning was still a step late, because Zhao Deyan had sent the letter out early in the morning. When they entered the city, it was already close to noon. The timing was perfect!
"Yes!"
Zhao Kang replied. Seeing that Li Junxian had no other orders, he stood back to the side.
Zhao Kang's Zhao's's name's Wang's Wang's Wang Wang's Of the city was Zhao's Wang Wang's's''s Wang's Zhao Zhao Wang's's's's''s have '''s's a's! "
"Lord General! "
Yan Gui cupped his fist in acknowledgement. After some thought, he asked, "Then should this general continue to search the city for other Turkic spies?"
Li Junxian's brow furrowed in thought for a few moments, and then he shook his head. "There's no need! Taiyuan City isn't big, but it's definitely not small either. Searching aimlessly is like searching for a needle in a haystack. To catch bandits, first catch the leader. As long as we can capture Zhao Deyan, the leader of the spies, his subordinates will be captured sooner or later! "
"General is wise! This general will send the weapons to the Provincial Governor's Residence! "
Hearing this, Yan Gui nodded in response, then turned and left.
