"Sir, I am basically sure that it was the Red Lotus Sect."
In the yard, Ji Xiaofenghui reported, "During this period, too many people have poured into the southwest. Although the brothers below have been investigating, but..."
He looked troubled.
Lin Bai did not blame it for such a large-scale development.
The Red Lotus Sect had long been expected by him.
However, he had rejected the Red Lotus Saint's proposal last time, and these people were still lingering. What on earth were they going to do?
Is rebellion really so interesting?
The great genius really doesn’t understand that eating soft rice is not delicious.
Although those people have no easy life, the southwest is developing so fast. Isn’t it good to marry a Yi woman and live a good life? Do you want to do so much trouble?
Lin Bai felt tired and asked, "Does anyone know the whereabouts of Duan Weifeng?"
Ji Xiaofeng shook his head and said: "Not yet."
"However, according to the testimony of witnesses at the scene, Duan Weifeng successfully escaped and his life should not be in danger."
"Master Yang searched the whole city, but no trace was found. He may have left Banzhou."
Lin Bai shook his head, "Even if I haven't left, I'm afraid I won't show up."
Yan Gang was puzzled: "Why?"
Ji Xiaofeng said: "They just met the adults, and then a man in black appeared, claiming to be the Red Lotus Sect. It is difficult to convince them."
Yan Gang's expression changed, "They suspect it's us?"
Lin Bai said: "It doesn't matter how suspicious you are, this matter is unavoidable in the first place."
The southwest is developing rapidly, and Dali will never let it go. However, it is hard to say how to interfere. In Lin Bai's opinion, the other party should try some other means, and there is still some buffer time.
After all, even if you use force, you still need a reasonable excuse.
Now that it's okay, the Red Lotus Sect directly gave the excuse to the other party. I'm afraid that in a few days, Dali's army will suppress the situation.
Yan Gang asked: "Is there any use in sending Princess Zhenbei back?"
Ji Xiaofeng said: "I'm afraid it won't work."
In this ambush, so many of Prince Zhenbei's personal guards died. Even if Duan Weifeng and Duan Rongrong were fine, there was nothing they could do.
What's more, the rapid development of southwest China is not tolerated by Dali.
So this matter is inevitable.
The great talent really doesn't want to fight, which would be fatal.
But there are some things that he can't control.
Because in this battle, not only did Lao Zhu want to fight with his ideals, but he also wanted to wash away his shame. Zhuge Liannu gave him great confidence.
Dali's invasion may be good news in Lao Zhu's eyes.
The current situation in the southwest is basically stable, the people feel at ease, and the major chieftains are also bent on development.
If Dali can be defeated at this time, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to completely win over the southwest and boost morale, so...
Whatever!
Anyway, there were other people fighting, Zhu Tong and Zhao Qianjun on the southwest battlefield.
This girl has been in the southwest for so long and has never shown up. It is said that she is training in the jungle with Wang Ganfan and others.
No matter what, just focus on the economy and stabilize the major chieftains in the southwest.
As for the matters on the battlefield, leave them to others!
The great genius thought very well.
Of course, come to think of it, now that he is the special envoy to the Southwest, in charge of all military and civilian affairs in the Southwest, he will naturally not be able to sit idly by if a fight breaks out.
He immediately asked: "How many troops are there in the southwest battlefield? How many troops can the southwest governor mobilize?"
Ji Xiaofeng said: "I don't know the exact number, but it shouldn't be much..."
Because of fear of conflict among the major chieftains in the southwest, the imperial court had not stationed many troops in the southwest.
The forces that the Southwest Governor can mobilize are also very limited.
Lin Bai couldn't help but frown.
There are not many troops, and there is a time bomb called the Red Lotus inside the key. Once a war breaks out, the Red Lotus will definitely take the opportunity to cause chaos.
When the time comes, we have to quell the chaos and guard against the major toasts. Although it seems that there is no problem at the moment, it is hard to say exactly how it will happen and how much we have to guard against.
Based on this calculation, it is good for the Southwest Governor to stabilize the internal situation in the Southwest.
The only ones who can really go to the battlefield are the troops in the southwest battlefield and Zhao Qianjun.
But this is very confusing.
Lin Bai felt that one was bigger than the other, and he said: "Pay close attention to every move in the southwest and the movements of the Red Lotus Sect."
"yes!"
Ji Xiaofeng accepted the order and immediately retreated.
"Let's go! Let's go to Tiangong Camp and have a look."
Since he had known for a long time that Lao Zhu wanted to fight this battle, and Dali would not sit back and watch the integration of the southwest, Lin Bai would not be unprepared.
After coming to Bozhou, he asked Tiangong Battalion to manufacture Zhuge Liannu, in addition to Vulcan crossbows, large chariot crossbows and the like.
Lin Bai's original intention was to be prepared.
It would be best not to fight, but if you really want to fight, you can't be timid.
It took a lot of effort for Southwest to get to where it is today, and we cannot let others pick the peaches.
…
Outside Bozhou City.
In a secret place, Duan Weifeng's face was so gloomy that he could drip water. There was a lot of blood on his body. Fortunately, they were all followers and he was not seriously injured.
He just looked quite embarrassed.
"How about it?"
At this time, a guard came in a hurry, and Duan Weifeng asked hurriedly.
"Hui Shizi, Bozhou City has been sealed off. Officers and soldiers are searching everywhere. It is said that the Red Lotus Sect is causing rebellion. We are currently unable to find out the whereabouts of the princess."
"Hmph! What's the matter with the Red Lotus Sect? The prince was attacked just after he met Lin Qingfeng. How could it be such a coincidence? It was clearly a thief shouting to catch a thief. Lin Qingfeng must have recognized the prince and wanted to strike first."
"Not bad! Lin Qingfeng deserves to die!"
"..."
Several guards were furious.
This time they came not too many but not many, and all of them were good players.
Now most of them have been damaged here, as you can imagine.
Duan Weifeng's teeth were also chattering, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Feng Liang said: "Your Majesty, the overall situation is our top priority. We must leave as soon as possible. Princess Jiren and Tianxiang will definitely be fine."
"They don't dare to do anything to the princess. We must go back as soon as possible, lead the army to wipe out the southwest, rescue the princess, and avenge the dead brother."
"Yes! Please return to Dali immediately, Your Majesty."
All the guards fell to their knees.
Duan Weifeng's eyes were red. Although he didn't want to leave his sister, he also knew that given the current situation, let alone rescuing his sister, once he showed up, it would be very dangerous.
He was so angry that he couldn't hide the murderous intention in his heart.
He asked: "Has the news been conveyed to the father?"
Feng Liang said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the news has been spread."
"good!"
Duan Weifeng pondered for a moment, "In that case, there is no need for us to go back."
"Your Majesty, you..."
All the guards were anxious. If they didn't go back in this situation, they would be waiting to die.
However, Duan Weifeng said: "Instead of returning to Dali, you can go elsewhere. The major chieftains in the southwest have been controlled by Lin Qingfeng. If they get together, it will be quite difficult to deal with Dali alone."
"Go to Wanxiang Kingdom. The southwest is such a big piece of fat. I don't believe they are not interested."
A cold light flashed in Duan Weifeng's eyes, with murderous intent, "Anyone who dares to touch my eldest son, my eldest son, will definitely conquer the southwest."
