Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 425 How about sea transportation?
There is really not much to say about the competition on the second day of the Young Heroes Conference. I don’t know what shady operations the organizers did to curry favor with Yang Yiyi after seeing that she came with the princess.

Yang Yiyi's three opponents on the second day were all weaklings. If it wasn't for the fact that she wanted to maintain her composure, they could have basically defeated them with one move. However, doing so would have been too disrespectful to others, so Yang Yiyi deliberately let them win and fought with them for a while before beating them up.

The second day of competition ended, and the number of contestants has dropped significantly. I estimate that most of the opponents I will meet in the next two days will be tough guys.

That day, Yang Yiyi basically only went on stage for five minutes, and then sat on the chair for the entire day, until her butt was almost flattened.

They still went back in the princess' carriage. After dinner, when the princess finally had a rest, Li Yingluo, Zheng Yinping and Yang Yiyi gathered together to discuss.

"The Imperial Guards investigated Sun Wei, but still couldn't find out what he was planning to do."

Although Sun Wei's fighting ability was only mediocre in the eyes of the Imperial Guards, he was, after all, a captain of the Plum Blossom Guard of Yuezhou State. In a sense, Yuezhou State and Liuzhou State were still in a hostile relationship. This man suddenly appeared in Luancheng, and in order to prevent him from posing a threat to the safety of the princess, the Imperial Guards specially sent someone to investigate.

"What about the port and the city gates?"

"You really guessed it. There are people disguised as ordinary people watching the port and the city gate. Their methods are very sophisticated. They should be members of the Plum Blossom Guard."

"Hehe, it was Brother Li who told me that. I don't have the brains for that."

"..."

This answer came as no surprise to Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping.

When Sun Wei met Yang Yiyi at the market before, he was accompanied by two subordinates, but after the Young Heroes Conference began, they disappeared.

Li Chengxi thought that since there were two, there might be a group of them hiding. It was similar to cockroaches. When you saw one, it meant there was a cockroach nest in the house.

The individual strength of the Plum Blossom Guards is not strong, so they generally do not act alone. Just like when they were hunting down Yang Yiyi and the others before, they always acted in groups.

Regardless of what Sun Wei wants to do in Luancheng, since he is here, it is very likely that he did not come here on his own.

Li Chengxi also remembered a wording in Sun Wei's words when he met him at the market. He said that he had official business to attend to.

When Sun Wei said this, he was probably just speaking casually, but he didn't expect that this wording would become a clue.

This is very strange. You are a small spy chief from Yuezhou State, and you have no official duties in Liuzhou State.

But on the other hand, since Sun Wei brought people to Luancheng, not only did he show his presence as bait, he also sent people to guard the gates and ports leaving Luancheng...

This shows that his so-called official business was probably to find someone, and it has been confirmed that this person is in Luancheng.

Deliberately showing presence is actually like a hunting dog panting at the door of a rabbit hole, deliberately letting the rabbit know that there is a dog waiting nearby, and if you don't run, the dog will dig you out of the hole.

If the rabbit tries to escape from any other hole, it will fall into the trap that the hunter has prepared.

Considering that Sun Wei is from Yuezhou State, this is equivalent to cross-border law enforcement. You know, when they were chasing Yang Yiyi and the others, they didn't dare to leave the country.

This time, they actually went deep into Luancheng of Liuzhou State. You should know that it is only four or five days' journey from the capital Pingkang City, which can be said to be very close.

Cross-border law enforcement on foreign soil is tantamount to a big embarrassment to Liuzhou State. If it is exposed and arrested as a spy, it would be a light punishment, and it is not impossible that he will be killed on the spot.

Despite the danger, Sun Wei still used himself as bait to lure in the oppression. This also shows that the person they are looking for is very important, so important that the Plum Blossom Guards must catch him even at the cost of their lives.

Going further, the Plum Blossom Guards were mainly responsible for the internal intelligence of Yuezhou State. Those who would be pursued relentlessly were usually the imperial prisoners who were directly ordered to be arrested by the emperor, but... were ordinary imperial prisoners eligible for this? They actually let the Plum Blossom Guards risk their lives to enforce the law across borders.

So at this time we can change our thinking and assume that the Plum Blossom Guards are not trying to capture someone, but are looking for someone, and this person is extremely important to the Yuezhou Kingdom, so important that they must find him even if the Plum Blossom Guards suffer serious casualties?
Li Chengxi felt that he had grasped the key point, and quickly told the others his speculation, and then said;
"The Plum Blossom Guards are probably looking for a very important person, possibly a relative of the Liuzhou Kingdom. Only someone of such a high status and identity would make them so desperate. And this person might have been kidnapped and is currently hiding in Luancheng."

"Brother Li, why do you say he was kidnapped? It's possible that he ran away from home on his own."

The jade gui floated on the table towards the direction of Princess Mingzhu's room, just as Li Chengxi pointed there:
"Look at that princess. If she planned to escape by herself, do you think she could get out of Liuzhou?"

These words are really very convincing.

The status of the royal relatives of various countries is so high that they are second only to the emperor. They are usually spoiled and have no ability to travel alone.

What's more, they have to avoid the pursuit of the Plum Blossom Guards, which is not something that everyone can do.

"Let someone check whether any important figures or their children have disappeared in Yuezhou recently. That way, we can roughly determine what Sun Wei wants to do in Luancheng."

"But if it's true, who arrested him?"

This question hits the key point.

Li Chengxi hesitated for a moment, but still said:
"I think it might be someone from the North."

Li Yingluo was puzzled:

"Northland? Why?"

Zheng Yinping also chimed in:
"The North is very far away from Yuezhou, and there is no conflict there. Why do people from the North want to capture the royal family of Yuezhou?"

"I don't have any evidence at the moment, but Tang Lianyu said before that a group of people from the northern land had infiltrated Luan City."

Tang Lianyu would not say useless words. She specifically mentioned this to Yang Yiyi when she entered the city, which felt very suspicious.

It is difficult to infer further, such as what benefits Tang Lianyu wants to gain from this matter.

Most young ladies hide in their boudoir waiting to get married. Look at Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping, they are typical rich young ladies and have hardly gone out since they returned home.

However, Tang Lianyu, as a rich lady, has been in the spotlight since she was young and has been managing the family business. This person is extremely shrewd.

Tang Feng's company is large and powerful, and she deliberately mentioned Yang Yiyi, probably with the intention of hoping that Yang Yiyi would get involved.

So, what can we get even if we get involved with Tang Lianyu?
Li Chengxi pressed 'M' and opened the map. The places Yang Yiyi had walked through were all explored areas. He raised the camera and looked at the map, especially the large area of ​​black fog of war on the map. Suddenly, he seemed to have a new inspiration in his mind.

"I want to ask you, how is Tangfeng's shipping business?"

The three of them looked at each other:

"I haven't heard much about it. Does it matter?"

"It's better to investigate. I think this matter may be related to Tang Lianyu's enthusiasm."
