Under the leadership of Yan Aoxiang, the army of Yan State finally arrived at the border of Wei State after several days of arduous march.
At this time, the Chu cavalry army led by Wu Qi had attacked several cities in succession, and the Wei army was retreating steadily.
The Chu army was like a violent storm, raging across the land of Wei.
The confrontation between Yan State and Chu State is about to begin.
The war is about to break out.
Yan State.
The investigation about Li Zhi's sister was not interrupted by the sudden war.
A whole week has passed. Dali Temple, which always prides itself on being a god in solving cases, has made slow progress for some reason.
Yan Lichu saw this and suddenly asked the minister of Dali Temple:
"Why has the case of sister Li Zhi not been solved so far?"
The Minister of Dali Temple was sweating on his forehead and replied nervously:
"Your Majesty, there are many doubts about this case. In addition, the recent war has been tense and manpower and material resources are limited, so the progress is relatively slow. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, our Dali Temple will go all out to find out the truth as soon as possible."
Yan Lichu was furious and slapped the desk:
"This is unreasonable! Although the war is tense, the investigation of the case cannot be delayed! If your Dali Temple is not competent, I will send someone else to handle it!"
The minister of Dali Temple hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I will speed up the case investigation and find out the truth as soon as possible."
Yan Lichu snorted and stared at the Minister of Dali Temple until his forehead was dripping with cold sweat before waving him to leave.
Since coming into contact with Li Zhi that day, Su Ye also secretly sent someone to understand the situation.
Upon investigation, I was shocked to find out that in recent years, children abducted by strange people in Dayan have appeared one after another.
What these children have in common is that they all come from poor families, and they all disappeared without a trace overnight.
Su Ye, who had always looked at her with a cold eye, couldn't help but recall his experiences in his youth.
During that period, as the son of an important minister of the Chu State, he became the target of his father's political enemies.
He has forgotten the specific experiences during that period, leaving only a vague impression.
He remembered being forcibly taken away, his eyes covered, and trapped in a carriage.
After countless twists and turns, the sounds of picking and trading vaguely reached his ears.
Fortunately, Su Ye has been extremely smart since he was a child, and he managed to negotiate peace terms.
Let the traffickers realize that keeping him in the Chu royal family is the best way to maximize their profits.
His father also discovered in time that only by cooperating inside and outside could he escape safely.
Today, similar tragedies have been staged repeatedly in Dayan Kingdom.
He knew that the disappearance of these children was not a simple crime.
There may well be a deeper political conspiracy behind it.
Su Ye took a deep breath, trying to calm down the anger inside.
Handing it over to Dali Temple will undoubtedly make your true wishes sink into the sea.
So Su Ye took the initiative to stand up and said to Yan Lichu:
"Your Majesty, regarding the case of Sister Li Zhi, I am willing to personally supervise the case."
What Yan Lichu trusted the most was Su Ye's ability.
She nodded and said:
"In this case, I will leave this case to you. We must find out the truth and give justice to Sister Li Zhi."
Su Ye accepted the order and solemnly said:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will go all out to find out the truth."
The most important thing is to find Li Zhi and find out what happened at that time.
Su Ye sent Mo Yi to look for Li Zhi, but he never expected that Mo Yi would bring quite cruel news.
When Li Zhi was brought to Su Ye, his appearance had undergone earth-shaking changes.
The once high-spirited man was now unrecognizable and unrecognizable.
His body was severely damaged, and the extent of his disability was unbearable to watch.
Not only that, the cruel assailant also cut off his tongue, leaving him unable to speak and suffering endless pain.
If Mo Yi hadn't arrived in time, Li Zhi would have been rescued.
Perhaps Li Zhi's life will be lost at the hands of those cruel thugs.
It was clear whoever the perpetrator was.
The purpose was to make Li Zhi no longer able to communicate normally with others and express his grievances.
Su Ye looked at Li Zhi, his heart full of anger and pity.
He clenched his fists tightly and vowed to get to the bottom of the matter and reveal the truth about Sister Li Zhi's case.
He knew that there was probably a deeper conspiracy hidden behind the case.
Su Ye arranged for Li Zhi to recuperate in a safe place.
Although Li Zhi could not speak, he struggled to convey the message to Su Ye with angry body language.
With trembling fingers, he pointed to a brothel in the capital called Tanxiang Pavilion.
He mumbled inarticulately: "Sister...sister."
There was incomparable hatred in his eyes.
Su Ye looked in the direction of his finger.
In the Sandalwood Pavilion, the lights were bright and the fragrance of powder filled the air.
I don’t know how many crimes and conspiracies are hidden in the singing and dancing every night.
Could it be that Li Zhi's sister is in this brothel?
And Li Zhi must have been beaten to this point because he discovered traces of his sister.
A cold light flashed in Su Ye's eyes:
"Mo Yi, keep an eye on this Sandalwood Pavilion. Don't alert others. Make sure you find out the truth."
Mo Yi accepted the order, left quietly, and began to closely monitor Tanxiang Pavilion secretly.
The Jinyi guards were like ghosts in the dark night, setting up secret sentries around Tanxiang Pavilion.
Pay close attention to every move in the brothel.
At the same time, Wu Qi was leading the cavalry troops to the city and besieging a city in Weiguo.
In this city, there is a legendary craftsman named Gongshu Ban who can make siege weapons.
And this Gongshu Ban was the real purpose of Wu Qi's attack on Weiguo.
Facing the closed-door Weiguo City, Wu Qi's eyes flashed with a cold light.
He shouted:
"Anyone who opens the city gate is deemed to have surrendered and will be forgiven by the Chu State. If you continue to persist in your stubbornness, it will be too late to regret when our Chu State's cavalry breaks through the city!"
The defending soldiers on the city saw the Chu army approaching fiercely, and they felt fearful.
However, the soldiers guarding the city knew that the Yan army was on its way to rescue.
The guard of the Weiguo city is a brave old man named Qin Feng.
Qin Feng has been guarding this land his whole life.
He knew that this city was not only his home, but also his entire life.
Facing the threat from Chu State, he was not afraid. Instead, he stood firmly at the top of the city and commanded the soldiers to guard their homeland.
"What's so scary about Chu's cavalry?" Qin Feng said loudly.
"No matter what, we will guard this city until the last moment!"
When the Chu army under the city heard such words, they were angry and a little shocked.
They did not expect that the guard general of this small country would have such courage and determination.
A trace of doubt flashed in Wu Qi's eyes. How could this small city be so confident?
Just as Wu Qi was about to step up his attack, a scout suddenly ran over in a panic and reported:
"General Wu, it's not good! Yan's reinforcements are approaching the city, and Duke Ding will arrive on the battlefield soon!"
The generals of Chu State were a little panicked. If Wei State and Yan State cooperated internally and externally, they would be extremely passive.
Wu Qi immediately understood where the belief in defending the city of Weiguo came from, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Don't worry about it."
