Li Ran's motorcade was driving on the official road leading to Xianzhou.
When a prince travels, it is natural that there should be some etiquette. Moreover, he wants to let people know that he is going to Xianzhou, which can be described as a grand event.
Hong Bin received a secret letter and quickly came to Li Ran's carriage.
"Your Highness, a total of thirteen vassal kings have left their territories and gone to Qizhou."
"Qizhou? It's adjacent to Xianzhou." Li Ran looked at the list of vassal kings in his hand, "Did King Xian show up?"
Hong Bin shook his head, "King Xian seems to have disappeared, and there is no trace of him at all."
"So, the vassal kings gathered in Qizhou, and the King of Qi was in charge." Li Ran said.
"It should be, but there is no news from Qizhou yet." Hong Bin said.
"There is no need to worry about these thirteen vassal kings and King Qi." Li Ran said.
Hong Bin was stunned for a moment, "Why?"
"Do we still need to care about dead people?" Li Ran said lightly.
Hong Bin understood it all at once.
"Pay more attention to those silent vassal kings. These are the real smart people. You don't know when they will take a bite." Li Ran said.
"Your Highness, King Xian is missing now, and the Xianzhou Army is even more unclear about its movements. It is a humble and useless position." Hong Bin said with his head lowered.
After all, this is the biggest threat.
"You haven't thought about whether our previous direction was wrong. We shouldn't just think about heading towards the capital." Li Ran said.
Hong Bin raised his head and said, "Your Highness, does King Xian have other plans?"
"It's not wrong to use those vassal kings, but the role of the Xianzhou Army is not only to capture the capital, but also to cut off the lifeblood of the north, south, and northwest at the same time. Only then will the major vassals really have no worries and can capture the capital in one go! Li Ran said.
Hong Bin broke out in a cold sweat, "I will immediately send people to the north, south and northwest to investigate."
Li Ran threw the list aside, "If King Xian really makes this move, there's nothing to be afraid of. I just don't know if he has any backup plans."
Hong Bin was stunned, "Is there any backup plan?"
These strategies are already clever enough for him. He is a top-notch secret agent in detecting information, but for such advanced strategies, his brain is really not good enough.
"It's just maybe. Maybe everything will be revealed when we get to Xianzhou." Li Ran said with his eyes slightly closed.
The convoy was calm all the way down.
But Hong Bin didn't dare to be careless at all.
Approaching Xianzhou, he did not dare to be careless.
Just when they were approaching Xianzhou, a group of people appeared to greet them.
The leader was none other than King Qi.
"Please inform His Highness the Fifth Prince that Li Xiang from Qizhou came specially to greet him and prepared a generous gift for His Highness the Fifth Prince!"
He stepped forward alone and saluted the convoy.
Hong Bin held the waist knife in his hand and glanced at King Qi coldly.
When the King of Qi appeared, he naturally investigated it, and found that except for some accompanying officials, he did not see any soldiers.
It can be said that this area of dozens of miles is within the scope of his control.
"Prince Qi, if you don't treat Qizhou well, why did you come to Xianzhou?"
More than a dozen vassal kings secretly gathered in Qizhou, so he was naturally not very polite to King Qi.
Even if the fifth prince gives an order, he can kill King Qi without hesitation.
King Qi smiled slightly and said, "Qizhou is adjacent to Xianzhou. The fifth prince came to Xianzhou, and the young king came to greet him. Besides, the young prince also had a reason to see the fifth prince."
"What's the reason?" Hong Bin asked.
"Master Hong is indeed loyal." King Qi said with a smile.
Then he clapped his hands, and several followers carried several bags and placed them up.
As soon as the bag was opened, more than a dozen human heads suddenly came into view.
Hong Bin's eyes suddenly widened.
Because those dozen heads turned out to be the heads of the dozen vassal kings who secretly gathered in Qizhou.
