After the situation in the Wo Nation's territory had been adjusted, the Imperial Guards returned from the Wo Nation's territory. After two days of investigation, they found that the situation in Jing Province was normal.
Yang Rui did not know where Liu Qi got the news from. Although he was also waiting for the day when Liu Biao became seriously ill, it was still too early to infer from historical facts and the time in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
However, he could not jump to conclusions because Xiangyang City's inner city was heavily guarded. Even if a Ninth Grade Ethereal Ninja wanted to sneak into the inner city, it would not be easy.
It was not that the Ninth Grade Ethereal Ninja could not enter the inner city. It was just that Liu Biao had set up traps. Although the Ninth Grade Ethereal Ninja was very strong, he could not do anything against the traps.
Yang Rui thought of sending the Imperial Guards to investigate personally. However, the Imperial Guards would not be able to do much. If they were not careful, they might even fall into the trap.
After all, the cities in the game had already been strengthened. If the Imperial Guards could find out Liu Biao's situation and get close to him, wouldn't it be easier to assassinate him?
For this reason, Yang Rui thought for a long time and did not have a good idea. However, after discussing with Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Sun Qian, and Xun You, it seemed that a feasible method had surfaced.
If the dark method did not work, then they would do it openly. That is, they would send an envoy to see Liu Biao and see if he was seriously ill.
This method was effective, but it could also be evaded with various reasons. Even if they really met, the envoy might not be able to see through Liu Biao's actual condition.
Thus, the identity of the envoy was very important. They had to ensure that Liu Biao had enough reason to meet. In other words, the envoy had to have enough weight. They also had to be able to see through the details after meeting.
While Yang Rui was considering the candidate for the envoy, Cheng Yu had already volunteered to be the envoy.
During the operation in the Wo civilization area, Yang Rui mobilized Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and other people who could recognize them. However, they were unable to find out if there were any historical generals among the captives.
Thus, this time, Cheng Yu wanted to make up for his previous failure. That was why he took the initiative to stand up and serve as the emissary to Jing Province.
Yang Rui wanted to refuse immediately. For a long time, Cheng Yu had become Yang Rui's backbone. No matter what, Yang Rui could not put him in danger.
Even though Cheng Yu had been brought back to the real world by Yang Rui, who knew what kind of impact it would have if he died in the game?
Would he be like the others, having one of his important skills erased? Would his true body in the real world change as a result?
In order to avoid all kinds of possibilities, Yang Rui had always adhered to the principle that these important generals should not be allowed to take risks if they could.
"Milord. This time, only one of us, Zhong De, can complete the mission. If Milord does not let Zhong De go, I will also request to go.
Moreover, Guo Jia can guarantee that Zhong De will not be in any danger. Liu Biao will not dare to touch Zhong De. Milord only needs to take care of the defenses along the way.
At this time, regardless of whether Liu Biao is seriously ill or not, Liu Biao himself and the nobles of Jing Province will definitely want to form a good relationship with Milord. Thus, no matter who is sent, they will be safe. "
Yang Rui originally wanted to insist. At this time, Guo Jia also stood up and said that the envoy would not be in danger. This made Yang Rui somewhat hesitant.
"Milord, there is another thing you need to do. This time, you must not leak any information about this trip to Jing Province. Do not let Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi know about this. If Liu Qi knows about this, Milord only needs to state your purpose."
Before Yang Rui could agree, Cheng Yu had already considered the possible situations he would face. In the end, Yang Rui could not help but make a concession.
"Order Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, and the Imperial Patrol Guards to accompany Zhong De and protect him. Order the Ethereal Secret Ninjas along the way to investigate the area within a hundred miles of Zhong De's path. Send the message promptly. If anything happens, they must protect Zhong De with their lives …"
Yang Rui made a concession, but the security arrangements were airtight. Not only did he have the Ethereal Ninja investigate the situation along the way, but he also had Zhao Yun and the Imperial Patrol Guard guard guard him at the same time.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Zhuge Liang went to the Kingdom of Wu, Liu Bei only sent Zhao Yun as a guard. At that time, Zhuge Liang had already retreated.
Now, it was Cheng Yu's turn to protect Zhong De. Moreover, the situation was not at war yet, so Yang Rui increased the number of guards. Guo Jia, Sun Qian, and Xun You nodded silently. They understood how important Yang Rui was.
The guards were quickly in place, and with the fastest transmission and flying equipment relay mode, Cheng Yu and his group rushed to Jingzhou's Xiangyang City.
At this time, there was no war between the three kingdoms, so they could freely teleport. However, they could not directly teleport to Xiangyang City. This was one of the ways the system protected the nobles. They could only use flying items.
After sending off Cheng Yu and the others, Yang Rui estimated that it would take at least a day for them to return. Thus, he once again set off for the Nihon civilization area to check on the progress of the child's search for the shogunate to grant him another grand wedding.
This time, there were two pieces of good news. The envoys that Wako Uesugi sent to propose marriage to Chiyo Gozen and Tamako finally received a positive answer.
Chiyo Gozen's faction was originally related to Oda Nobunaga's faction. At this time, Wako Uesugi had almost destroyed Oda Nobunaga's faction. It could be said that he had eliminated his old rival.
Even if Wako Uesugi had the same deterrent power, even more so than Oda Nobunaga, Chiyo Gozen's father, Beiming Jijiao, finally chose to be on good terms with Wako Uesugi's faction and agreed to the marriage.
Yang Rui and Wako Uesugi had analyzed the situation of the Beiming family in detail. This daimyo did not seem to want to submit to any faction. For the time being, they would not submit to Wako Uesugi's faction.
However, since they had agreed to the marriage, as long as Uesugi showed an unstoppable force, Kitamisu Jijiao could still fight for them. At the very least, they would not immediately stand up against Uesugi Jijiao.
Tamako's situation was the opposite. Her father was an Oda retainer. He had died in the battle before the Battle of Barrel Nara. Her family was also facing a situation of extinction. Wako Uesugi's troops only left two or three mountain cities for the Tokugawa family.
