The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 748: Subjugating Botie (I)

"Did Hu Saner bring any message?"

The Hu Saner mentioned by Li Yan was the servant arranged by the Pacification Department to work in Quan Wanji's mansion. Wang Xuance said quickly, "Hu Saner only said that Quan Wanji had returned to the mansion. He didn't say anything else, and no information was received."

Wang Xuance also found it a bit strange. Logically speaking, if Quan Wanji had left involuntarily before, now that he had returned, he should have asked Hu Saner to bring him a message to explain. However, he did not specifically instruct him. If someone found out, Hu Saner would be silenced.

But Hu Saner remained the same. Nothing happened and he didn't explain. What on earth was Quan Wanji doing?

"Your Highness, do you think this old man is trying to clean up his past? Do you want us to arrange for Hu Saner to ask him and see what he says?"

In his previous life, Li Yan had worked undercover for more than ten years and had rich experience and strong professional knowledge. As his spokesperson in this world, Li Yan often taught Wang Xuance some undercover-related content such as lurking and hiding.

Under the influence of Li Yan for a long time, Wang Xuance has also mastered some terms unique to this special industry.

"Unless he kills me, how can he wash himself?"

Li Yan thought for a while and shook his head slowly: "Forget it, if necessary, Quan Wanji will explain. Since he didn't explain, it means he doesn't think it's necessary, or he can't say it for the time being, so let's not force him."

"As long as Hu San'er is fine, this line is still there. As long as Quan Wanji is still Quan Wanji, there is no need to worry. Let Hu San'er do what he should do. If Quan Wanji doesn't look for him, he will pretend that he doesn't exist. We should not act rashly."

"After leaving the Shujun Palace, Quan Wanji won't be in a hurry to use it for a while, so let's put it aside for now."

Li Yan was worried that if Quan Wanji couldn't even tell the Crown Prince about it, then the only person in the entire Tang Dynasty was Li Shimin. If Li Shimin was involved, then Quan Wanji's matter would be very important. Would the old man's confidentiality level be further increased?
Perhaps Quan Wanji is still in an unsafe state.

It is also possible that Quan Wanji had some ideas in his mind and was hesitant and embarrassed.

If this is the case, then Li Yan doesn't need to be anxious. As long as Hu Saner is fine, the connection is not broken. The matter is too urgent, and maybe Quan Wanji himself doesn't know what to do. Just let it go for now and let him think it through slowly.

After dealing with Quan Wanji's matter, Li Yan asked again, "What about the other one?"

"The person your highness asked me to keep an eye on entered the city yesterday afternoon."

Wang Xuance perked up and said excitedly, "There are about seven or eight of them, all dressed up as Hu merchants, and stayed at the Tongfu Inn opposite Wanchun Tower."

"They seemed to be two gangs. Three of them went straight into Wanchun Tower, called a few singing girls, and started to eat and drink to their heart's content. The other five did not go, but booked a few upper rooms at Tongfu Inn. Then four of them took turns to watch from the tea stall below the inn, while the other one settled down in the guest room."

It must be the guests from the northern grasslands who have arrived. Li Yan smiled slightly and asked, "Have our people been arranged to go in?"

"Your Highness, two people have entered the inn. One is working as a waiter. He can openly enter and exit these people's rooms and deliver water and food. The other is in the stable at the back, changing the fodder for their horses and can keep track of their whereabouts at any time."

"As for the comings and goings in Wanchun Tower, we have them under our control at all times."

"Well, well done."

Li Yan thought for a moment, and finally said, "Please arrange a time for me. I want to meet the person in the guest room."

"no problem"

Wang Xuance nodded and said, "This is very convenient. After arriving yesterday, the group of people who entered Wanchun Tower have not come out. I heard that those people directly gave two gold ingots to hire the most popular singing girl. They want to have fun with her for several days?"

"The man from Tongfu Inn never left the house after he entered it. Two of his four men were watching Wanchun Tower from the tea stall downstairs, and the other two were hanging around outside the West Inner Courtyard outside the north city. They were probably trying to find out our military intelligence."

"If you say it's inconvenient to see other people, but the person staying in the guest room stays in the room all day and night and never goes out. No one will notice it."

"Okay, let's go this afternoon without further ado."

Suddenly thinking of something, Li Yan smiled meaningfully and said, "Also, tell the guards at the palace gate that if anyone comes to see the Grand Tutor in the afternoon, tell them that the Grand Tutor is not here and ask them to come back tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Xuance didn't know what Li Yan was up to, but it was just a small matter.

In a guest room on the third floor of Tongfu Inn, Botie heard from the servants that Yinan was still indulging himself in Wanchun Tower. It was said that Yinan had played with his two subordinates all night long and was still sleeping, with no intention of getting up.

He angrily sent his subordinates to continue watching, and then arranged for people to take turns to go outside the West Inner Courtyard where the Flying Tiger Army was located to see if they could find out anything. Then one of them asked the waiter to serve a few dishes and a jar of wine, and sat in the room alone, drinking the stewed wine, sighing and complaining constantly.

It would be fine if the Khan sent Yinan to gather intelligence on the Tang army, but why did he let himself monitor him? Yinan, this playboy and second-generation rich man, was as obedient as a cat in front of Jie Li, but no matter what, he was still the leader of the Xueyantuo tribe.

I am just Jie Li's steward. To put it nicely, he is his confidant. To put it bluntly, he is no different from a dog. Can I control him?

By that time, if nothing is known about the Flying Tiger Army, the Khan will certainly not blame Yinan, but he will not forgive himself as a dog, so this matter will fall on himself. Instead of relying on Yinan, it is better for me to send someone to take a look.

Just get some information and give an explanation when you go back.

In this unfamiliar Tang capital, Botie was worried that his whereabouts might be revealed and he might lose his life.

At this moment, the sound of Maji's footsteps was heard in the corridor outside the room. Botie thought that his people were coming up and frowned. It was bad enough that Yinan was disobedient, but could it be that those servants would not listen to his orders either.

There was a bang.
The door of the room was violently pushed open, and several tightly-dressed men in casual robes, holding swords, rushed in quickly.

"Oh no, we're exposed."

When he saw the stranger rushing in, Botie's scalp exploded and he jumped into the air from the ground like a cheetah.

With a "clang" sound, the scimitar that he always carried at his waist was pulled out. With sharp eyes and a tense body, he faced the newcomer like a wild wolf, ready to respond to the impending siege at any time, and looked around, wondering where he could break out.

Botie was extremely nervous, and the dark cloud of fear was brewing rapidly in his heart. What he feared was really what happened. He had just arrived yesterday, and something happened today. Thinking of falling into the Tang army and being severely tortured, his body began to tremble with fear.

This is Chang'an City. You are trapped in a tiger's den. No matter how many people you have, you can't get out!

In just that instant, the slight smell of alcohol on Botie's face dissipated instantly, sweat trickled down his forehead, his mouth became dry, and his nerves became extremely tense.

Who knew that after the few people who broke in entered the house, they quickly deployed a formation inside the room, and pointed their weapons at him. They did not attack immediately, but just surrounded him in the corner to prevent him from jumping out the window to escape, and then stared at him silently.

"Who are you and why are you breaking into my room?" Seeing that the newcomer was not wearing armor, Bodhi hoped that the newcomer had mistaken him for someone else.

If he attacked rashly and a fight broke out, his identity would be exposed and he would attract the attention of the Tang army. Then he would be doomed.

At this time, a man in brocade clothes walked in calmly. Seeing Botie, who was surrounded by the wall and looked nervous and alert, he smiled and said, "Sir, don't get me wrong. We are not the Tang army. It's just that my master wants to meet with you. I hope you can help us."

With just one sentence, Bote's heart, which had been in his throat, immediately relaxed. As long as it wasn't the Tang army, everything would be fine.

It must be said that Botie had been a slave for a long time beside the Turkic Khan, and he was flexible and flexible. His best skill was to read people's expressions and survive in the cracks. Hearing this, he pretended to be relieved, put away his guard, and put the scimitar back into the sheath.

Botie smiled cheerfully: "Hahaha, if you are friends meeting, then I am overthinking. I wonder where your friends are from, Gaochang, Khotan, or Shule? I have traveled a lot and I love making friends the most."

After Botie finished speaking, the smile on his face froze and he put away his knife. However, the people surrounding him were still in an attacking posture, without even moving their eyes. They still surrounded him without relaxing at all.

Xing Yi smiled slightly and said, "Sir, I'm sorry. My master is of noble status and cannot afford to make any mistakes. If you agree, we would like to search him first and help him keep his weapons. We will return them to him after he leaves."

Botie looked at the people opposite him. Although they were polite, the swords pointed at him blazingly, leaving no room for negotiation. His face suddenly became stern: "If I hand over my weapons to you, I will become a lamb to be slaughtered, and you can kill me as you please."

"Sir, you are joking."

Xing Yi said confidently: "To be honest, sir, my men are all skilled swordsmen. Any one of them can easily take your head. Even if you have a weapon, in our eyes, we can still chop you off at will."

"It's just that my master is of noble status and wants to have a pleasant chat with you, sir. You can't let us put a few swords on your neck and talk to my master, right?"

Botie was stunned. Isn’t it?

He was surrounded by others, and his men were unaware of it. Besides, he had no idea where the other party came from, and who knew how many people were outside. Even a scimitar could not protect his own safety.

"Who is your master?"
