Chapter 84: Searching for People in Jiangling

Qin Huaidao was both happy and worried when he learned that Li Ke had been taken away by someone to Jingzhou.

What I like is that I have been following Li Ke for many days, but finally there are signs. What I worry about is that Li Ke has already left Huainan. Although I know that he may have been heading for Jingzhou, it is still unclear where Li Ke is. If there is no trace of Li Ke in Jingzhou, then it would be difficult for him to find Li Ke again.

After Qin Huaidao received the news, he sent someone to Yangzhou to report the matter, but he couldn't wait for a while and took the elite troops of the Right Guard straight to Jiangling City, the capital of Jingzhou.

"Alang, General Qin Huaidao, the eldest son of Duke of Yi, asked for a visit outside the mansion."

Qin Huaidao was concerned about Li Ke's safety and went west for a while without stopping. But the next night, he arrived in Jiangling City. The warrior who had been busy in the government office for a day had just arrived at the mansion to rest. Before he could sit down, the slaves from the martial arts house came forward to pass the message.

"Qin Huaidao? Why is he here?" Qin Huaidao was Li Ke's close friend and confidant minister, Li Ke disappeared. He should have been the most anxious and searched everywhere. But Wu Shihu heard that he had arrived in Jingzhou at this time, so how could he not be shocked?

The slave of the Wufu family replied: "General Qin only said that it was related to the affairs of His Highness of the King of Chu, and he would explain it in person when he met Alang."

It was reasonable for Qin Huaidao to act carefully when the matter was involved. When Wu Shiyu heard this, he immediately said, "Even if so, please invite General Qin to the mansion. I will wait in the side hall."

Qin Huaidao was originally the son of Qin Shubao, Duke of Yiguo. Qin Shubao and Wu Shiyu also had a two-part relationship. Qin Huaidao came to Jing, but Wu Shiyu had no reason to be negligent. What's more, Qin Huaidao came to find Li Ke and held the imperial order in his hand, so Wu Shiyu was even more so.

The slaves from the Martial Palace went out, and in just a moment, they took Qin Huaidao into the mansion.

Qin Huaidao brought two right guards into the mansion and followed the slaves from the Wu Mansion to the side hall, with his steps fast.

"The King of Chu is missing, and Qin Xian's nephew is not in Huainan to look for a car. Why did he come to Jingzhou when he has time?" The warrior saw Qin Huaidao enter and said to Qin Huaidao.

The warrior is older, and compared to Qin Shubao, he is still half a generation older than Qin Huaidao. He has already reduced his seniority by calling Qin Huaidao a virtuous nephew, and there is nothing wrong with Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao replied: "Governor Wu needs to know that I found out yesterday that your highness has been captured by others, and I am afraid that he has arrived in Jingzhou, so I came here to find your highness's whereabouts."

After hearing Qin Huaidao's words, the warrior was stunned. Why did Li Ke be captured in Chuzhou thousands of miles away?

The warrior was full of surprise, but she looked up at Qin Huaidao, and when she looked at Qin Huaidao, she didn't seem to be fake.

The warrior's heart suddenly sank, and there was a hint of helplessness inexplicably. These evil people from Xiao Liang were even against him. After capturing Li Ke, they didn't go anywhere and headed straight for his Jingzhou.

Moreover, the warriors thought of a more serious result. Jiangling was once the capital of Xiaoliang, and was originally the key place in Xiaoliang. Now these thieves captured Li Ke and fled to Jiangling. Does it mean that there is still their remaining power in Jiangling City?

Samurai was originally a giant timber dealer in Bingzhou. Later, he relied on a large amount of money to support Li Yuan in a rush to raise his army, which made Li Yuan very fond of him. Therefore, today, Samurai was promoted by Li Yuan and was not Li Shimin's confidant. If this news came to Chang'an, his Samurai would be the least of a slight supervision. He would be fined and demoted. But if it was heavy, it would be possible to dismiss the office and reduce his title.

The warrior asked, "Because General Qin knows that His Highness is in Jingzhou, can he have a way to find it? Jingzhou is not as good as a remote border state. Jiangling City alone has thousands of households. If there is no good law, finding one person is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Although Qin Huaidao came here in a hurry, he thought about this on the way. Qin Huaidao replied: "I think the most urgent thing is to block Jiangling City. No one can leave the city, and then search the shops in the city and post a list of traces at the city gate, hoping that His Highness is still in Jiangling City."

The fisherman saw that the ship carrying Li Ke was a merchant ship used by merchants, so most of them were hiding in the city under the identity of merchants, searching for shops in the city, perhaps even finding them.

But the fisherman saw Li Ke's traces a few days ago. After calculating the time, the people who held Li Ke should have arrived in Jiangling long ago. If they were still in Jiangling City, they would naturally have the possibility of finding it, but if they had already left Jiangling, it would be difficult.

"It seems that this is the only way. I will order someone to make arrangements immediately." Wu Shiyan heard Qin Huaidao's words, and seemed to be unable to come up with any good ideas for a while, so he nodded in agreement.

In the Jingzhou Governor's Office, Qin Huaidao was discussing the search for Li Ke with Wu Shiyan. At this time, the remnants of the remnants of the remnants of Liang who were hiding in Jiangling City also received the news at the first time.

In the most lively south of Jiangling City, there is a quiet courtyard here, which doesn't look very conspicuous, but here is one of the most important strongholds in Jiangling City.

"My wife, the news came from Jiangling Prefecture's office overnight." Outside the door of the other courtyard, Xiao Yuexian's maid Qing'er held a letter in her hand and quickly walked into the inner room from outside the door, facing Xiao Yuexian who was about to rest in the room.

Since the big boat Li Ke was riding in Honghu a few days ago, Xiao Yuexian turned to a small boat and returned to the shore under the escort of his servants. Since Xiao Yuexian got ashore, in order to find Li Ke's trace, he moved into a stronghold in Jiangling City. He has been here until today.

Xiao Yuexian looked at Qing'er who was hurriedly entering the door, and knew that it must be an important matter. If it were not for this, the reason why the Jiangling Prefecture Office would not have been interrupted and the news came out overnight.

Xiao Yuexian took the letter from Qing'er, and only opened her eyes and glanced at her roughly, and her face suddenly darkened.

"Madam, what happened?" Qing'er asked when she saw that Xiao Yuexian's face was a little wrong.

Xiao Yuexian replied: "Qin Huaidao has arrived in Jiangling."

"He came here to do something! Could it be that he was here to take ours?" Qing'er was uneasy after hearing Xiao Yuexian's words.

Xiao Yuexian shook his head and said, "Qin Huai came to find Li Ke's traces. The list has been issued. I'm afraid it will be posted everywhere tomorrow."

"Come and find Li Ke? Didn't Li Ke have already taken advantage of the chaos in Honghu and injured people and escaped?" Qing'er asked in confusion.

Qing'er asked that it was exactly what Xiao Yuexian was worried about. Xiao Yuexian paused for a moment and said to Qing'er: "Li Ke just took advantage of the chaos to hurt our people and jumped into the lake to escape. However, the water of Hong Lake is wide, and the place where the ship sinks is still a little far from the lake shore. I'm afraid Li Ke may not have swam back to the shore."

Qin Huaidao rushed to Jiangling from afar and posted the list everywhere with great fanfare to find Li Ke's traces, but Li Ke had clearly slipped away from the boat and was not in their hands. From this, it can be seen that Qin Huaidao didn't know where Li Ke was, and there was naturally only one possibility that the situation was the most likely to cause the situation at the moment, that is, although Li Ke escaped, he could not return to the shore. Otherwise, if Li Ke really escaped, how could Qin Huaidao look for people everywhere?

"My wife means that Li Ke has been drowned in the lake?" Qing'er thought about it, and it seemed that there was only one possibility, so she told Xiao Yuexian.

After hearing Qing'er's words, Xiao Yuexian was a little silent for a moment. She was captured and she had made great efforts, but she never thought that she would really take Li Ke's life. But according to the current situation, Li Ke had probably drowned in the lake and died in the underworld.

Although there was a national hatred and family hatred, when the familiar face appeared in Xiao Yuexian's mind, he couldn't feel happy.
