Coincidentally, just as Zhao Deyan was ordering Xuan Ye to gather his men to attack Taiyuan Relay Station, Li Junxian was also gathering his men and preparing to head to Tongfu Inn.
Although the two sides had begun to move at almost the same time, there was a problem. Li Junxian only had ten-some cavalry under his command, while Zhao Deyan had dared to attack the posthouse. This meant that he had more than ten-some subordinates, most likely one or two hundred. Moreover, these two hundred couldn't all be staying at Tongfu Inn, as that would be far too conspicuous. As a result, Zhao Deyan would need to gather his forces much more quickly than Li Junxian!
And the residence that Li Junxian was temporarily staying in was less than one li away from Tongfu Inn. Thus, Zhao Deyan couldn't possibly gather his men before Li Junxian arrived at Tongfu Inn!
"Lord Guard! Bad news! "
Zhao Deyan was preparing to go out and see how things were going when he heard Xuan Ye's voice. Zhao Deyan's heart trembled. At this critical moment, he feared nothing more than an accident, and he feared nothing more than someone telling him 'bad news'. He hastily opened the door, and Xuan Ye rushed in. After closing the door, he clasped his fist before Zhao Deyan could ask anything.
"Lord Guard, your subordinate went to the innkeeper's room to ask him to gather our men, but there was no one in the room. Innkeeper Sun, he … disappeared!"
"Disappeared?"
Zhao Deyan frowned, a bad premonition rising in his heart. Back when they had first arrived in Sourcepeak City, they hadn't chosen to stay in the Tongfu Inn. Because there were many of them, it would be difficult for them to hide if they stayed in the inn. It would be very easy for the innkeeper and waiters to notice that something was amiss. So, only Zhao Deyan, Xuan Ye, and Skyhawk stayed in the inn while the rest of them hid in various parts of the city.
But after Wang Xinyuan and Wang Kui surrendered to them, Zhao Deyan learned that the owner behind the scenes of the Tongfu Inn was actually related to the second branch of the Wang family. As a result, he didn't have to worry about all of them moving in and alerting the innkeeper or waiters. He directly ordered Xuan Ye to gather all of their spies in the city into the inn and 'stuff' them into the empty guest rooms of the inn. As for those that couldn't be 'stuffed', Gao Yong and Wang Kui helped to arrange for them to stay in a few houses near the Tongfu Inn!
It was because of this that Xuan Ye had thought of asking the innkeeper, Sun Dafu, for help when Zhao Deyan ordered Xuan Ye to gather his men. Only in this way could they gather all their men in the shortest amount of time.
But Xuan Ye had never expected that Sun Dafu, who had been staying at the inn for the past few days, would actually disappear!
"Didn't Gao Yong say that Sun Dafu would be staying at the inn to cooperate with us? How could he suddenly disappear? Could it be …? "
Zhao Deyan muttered in dissatisfaction. Then, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and his face instantly became extremely gloomy. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Not good! It's very likely that someone has set their sights on Tongfu Inn. We've been exposed! "
"Then what should we do?"
Xuan Ye was shocked when he heard this and asked subconsciously. Then, he hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Lord Guard, please evacuate immediately. Your subordinates are willing to risk their lives to escort you!"
