It's dawn.

The Jinyi Ren and his men who had returned one after another had already left the Qianhu Office. But the exhausted Qianhu Lord and Deputy Qianhu Lord were still unable to recover from their nervous and excited state.

"Those two people's identities are not simple..."

"Age, features, aura, every single one of them matches..."

"I also saw the jade pendant on that person's waist. Did you see it too?"

"I saw it, I saw it! If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't be so frustrated! This guy is bossing me around like a top! He's spinning non-stop!"

"well……"

The two of them sighed at the same time.

This time, Li Gan brought his brocade-clad cavalry to the North Gate, which in itself was a signal.

The imperial court is likely to use force against the Tartars in the north.

It is said that a member of the royal family of the Northern Barbarian court, some called the King of Nanling, once followed their intelligence agency and infiltrated the Great Chu.

This guy had been lurking in the capital of Da Chu for several months, and no one had discovered his flaws.

Later, he made friends with many sons of powerful and wealthy people, and all those who loved drinking and making trouble hung out with him.

This group of people wandered around the capital city openly, even visiting all the brothels in the capital. They could even tell you which courtesan liked which incense, like the back of their hand.

The most crucial thing is that this group of people somehow sneaked into the Military Affairs Office and stole the defense map of the northern Jieling Mountain area.

This news was secretly released by Li Gan's mortal enemy, the youngest son of King Annan, intentionally or unintentionally.

It must not be fake.

Looking at Li Gan's dejected expression, he has probably fallen out of favor.

However, that one and that one actually changed into casual clothes and came out with him, and it seemed that they had not fallen out of favor.

After all, Li Gan was just a minister, while that man was the crown prince of the Great Chu Dynasty!

If His Majesty had even the slightest distrust in Li Gan, he would never have placed him next to the Crown Prince!

The concerns of the two thousand households are justified.

Li Gan, the leader of the Jinyi Yunqi, is indeed facing a crisis of trust.

The theft of the Jieling Mountain defense map involved several royal nobles, one of whom was the Annan Palace, which had always been at odds with him.

The King of Annan strongly advocated that the Jinyi Yunqi were guilty of the unforgivable crime in the case of the theft of the Jie Ling Mountain defense map!

Because they failed to identify the spy.

Because they failed to protect the precious information.

Because they failed to seal off the city immediately and let the enemy go.

Because they...

In short, no matter how many mistakes there are, they are all the fault of the Jinyi Yunqi.

In the imperial court, the Censorate had already staged a fierce impeachment war. Impeachment memorials from various factions poured into the imperial court like snowflakes. However, the emperor ignored them all, keeping them in his custody for the time being.

The fact that His Majesty did not say anything also shows his attitude.

It is very likely that this indicates that Li Gan, the leader of the Jinyi Cloud Cavalry who had just been promoted to the emperor's confidant a few years ago, has fallen out of favor before he even gained power.

Since Li Gan became the leader of the Jinyi Yunqi, he has offended many powerful people in the court.

Now that he seemed to have the opportunity to give the fallen dog a good beating, how could those people he had offended let him go?

Look, the King of Annan dances the most happily!

There is no shortage of smart people in the court who are good at changing their stance according to the situation.

Seeing that the impeachment memorial was kept by the emperor and not sent out, those who were led astray by the King of Annan, or who pretended to be ignorant, immediately chased after Li Gan and started stinging him like wasps whose nest had just been poked.

Although Li Gan didn't care much, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed after hearing these voices scolding him so many times.

He simply accepted the order and followed the clues he had found before, ran to the remote corner of Beiguan Town, and investigated the case in person.

But he never expected that as soon as he left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor's Grandson caught up with him!

At that time, he almost went berserk and sent these two troublesome guys back.

Fortunately, the emperor's decree arrived shortly afterwards, instructing him to take these two troublesome fellows for a good walk and understand the suffering of the people. At the same time, he must protect the safety of these two at all costs.

It doesn’t matter even if the deployment map cannot be found.

After all, since it has been stolen once, the old arrangement must never be used again.

Although Jinyi Yunqi's intelligence showed that the enemy had been ambushed at Huanhua Tower and had not escaped the border in time, hiding in the Northern Barbarians, the defense map might not have been sent to the Northern Barbarians in time.

If we can capture the enemy and get the defense map back, many things will become much simpler.

However, this enemy is not a simple character either.

Since it failed once during the Lantern Festival, it has never happened again.

However, each checkpoint had secretly strengthened its defenses, blocking several important transportation routes. Furthermore, and most importantly, according to reports from spies in the Northern Barbarian capital, their King of Nanling had not returned to the Northern Barbarians.

He even missed the important event of celebrating the Empress Dowager's birthday.

Therefore, Li Gan felt that the Nanling King Xiao Lubuhua was most likely still staying in the territory of Da Chu, but he didn't know whether he was still staying in Beiguan Town or had escaped to somewhere else.

Based on the clues he had obtained, Li Gan had sent his men to simply plow through several possible directions.

Currently, there are only three directions that are most suspicious.

He thought about it for a long time, but in the end he did not dare to leave the crown prince and the emperor's grandson in the Beiguan Town Qianhu Suo.

If he left those two behind, they might find a chance to sneak out.

No, not maybe.
