Seeing Prince Liebek's confident expression, Ying Zheng's gaze fell on him. "What do you have?"
Ying Zheng was also quite curious about what Prince Liebk possessed.
After all, he dared to stand alone in front of thousands of troops, and he never showed the slightest fear from beginning to end, which really didn't seem like an exaggeration.
Prince Liebker lowered his head. "Intelligence."
Ying Zheng looked at him, "What intelligence?"
Intelligence, of course, is divided into different levels. If it is information that can be easily found, then Prince Liebk is naturally not of much use to him.
However, truly useful intelligence is rare and cannot be measured by money.
Prince Liebek said, “This time, the lord has led a force of 5,325 men, including two generals and 5,322 soldiers.”
"There's also a little baby."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes widened slightly.
It's possible that this intelligence could get out, since General Turlan was left alive, and General Turlan had met Ying Ziyu.
But when it comes to the specific number of people, that's a bit outrageous.
As he pondered, Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian.
Wang Jian nodded with a rather solemn expression, implying to Ying Zheng that Prince Lieberk was right, and that their numbers were indeed as described this time.
Ying Zheng was quite surprised to see this. After all, these were confidential intelligence, and he was practically the only one who knew them so clearly. But now Prince Liebk could explain them so clearly, which was really unbelievable to him.
Prince Liebek's eyes were cold as he continued, "In this battle against Turkey, the Lord's cavalry suffered only twenty-three deaths and two hundred and seventeen injuries, while the Turkish cavalry was completely wiped out, with only their commander escaping back."
"Even their commander was able to escape thanks to his lord's mercy in sparing his life; otherwise, no Turlander would have survived this battle."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes widened in shock.
It should be noted that these figures are top secret; only a commander of Wang Jian's caliber would be qualified to know the specific number of casualties, and there should be absolutely no possibility of them being leaked.
But Prince Lieberke was able to say it twice, and judging from his confident demeanor, it shouldn't be something he made up.
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian with a complicated expression and asked about the veracity of the matter.
Wang Jian said with a rather complicated expression, "Not a single word is different."
He was also very curious about the source of Prince Liebker's information, since these figures could not possibly have been fabricated; if he didn't really know, he could never have spoken so clearly.
The possibility of such top-secret information being leaked is extremely slim.
After all, those who knew this information were his trusted confidants, and there was absolutely no possibility of betrayal when facing a foreigner.
After confirming that Prince Liebk was telling the truth, Ying Zheng looked at him and asked, "How did you know this information?"
Ying Zheng was also very curious about the source of this intelligence, since Prince Liebk knew such specific details, and even if the intelligence was stolen, he must have had the means to obtain it.
To some extent, this also confirms Prince Lieberke's talent; perhaps he is a person worthy of attention.
Prince Liebeck stood up, then raised his right hand, palm down, and held it horizontally in front of him. A strange aura surged around him, causing his robes to flutter.
This strange behavior instantly put Wang Jian on high alert, and he was ready to act immediately should Prince Liebek do anything that would be detrimental to Ying Zheng.
The next instant, several small golden snakes began to slither around Prince Liebk's arm.
This scene was quite magical, as the little golden snake seemed to possess sentience, slithering around Prince Lieberke.
Ying Zheng observed the slithering serpent and quickly understood the reason, asking, "Is this why you know so much?"
Prince Liebek gazed at the serpent coiled around him and said slowly, "This serpent is called the Ten Thousand Mile Soaring Serpent. It has been with me since birth and can travel ten thousand miles to secretly observe everything I want to know."
Ying Zheng's eyes flickered slightly. "After traveling tens of thousands of miles, you were still able to bring back intelligence to me?"
No matter how powerful a species is, it is extremely difficult, almost impossible, for it to travel thousands of miles.
Moreover, according to Prince Liebk, the snake could not only travel that far, but also bring back intelligence, which Ying Zheng found somewhat unbelievable.
Prince Liebek said, “I fed the Ten Thousand Mile Serpent with my flesh and blood, and in return, I gained the ability to communicate with them. Even in death, they will completely obey my commands, so I can know everything they see.”
"In other words, wherever they can reach, the lord can obtain any information he desires."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes darkened slightly. "It is indeed a remarkable ability."
In warfare, intelligence is undoubtedly invaluable; a single crucial piece of intelligence can determine the outcome of a battle.
Prince Liebeck's ability is truly remarkable, making him a rare talent.
But Ying Zheng changed the subject and said, "If you have such abilities, why did you choose me, a foreigner?"
Although Prince Liebker was exceptionally capable, this very ability gave him more options.
Such abilities, if displayed before any monarch, would undoubtedly be highly valued, and the monarch would bestow upon them great favors, both in terms of wealth and status.
But Prince Liebek, possessing such a powerful weapon, chose to seek refuge with him, an outsider, which aroused Ying Zheng's suspicion.
As a king, it's natural to be suspicious.
