Chapter 180 Xu E's Intelligence

Even if the Prince of Yan showed a lewd expression, she would be happy, at least the Prince of Yan was interested in her. Read М

But the Prince of Yan's eyes were as pure as when Huan'er looked at him.

Feeling a little resentful, she said a little boredly: "The first thing is a happy event. The master likes your perfume very much. He ordered me to purchase 300,000 taels of goods from your hand for personal use. He also intends to make friends with your Highness."

"This is indeed a happy event." Zhao Xu nodded.

The person behind Tianxianglou seems to like to use brothels to spy on intelligence.

In Yancheng, he set up Tianxianglou.

But there are other brothels in other places, just with different names.

"The second thing, your Highness should be careful. Yuan Li has a counselor named Guo Tu, who is qualified for the position of chief historian recently." Xu E's face became serious.

Zhao Xu frowned, "This is just a promotion within the Yuan family. Why should we be careful?"

"Originally, there is no need to make a fuss, but Guo Tu went to the grassland before his promotion." Xu E said slowly.

Zhao Xu frowned when he heard this, "How did you know about this?"

"Your Highness seems to have forgotten that my master has always been dealing with the Yuan family, and naturally has his own spies in Fanyang. Although the Yuan family is now on high alert because of the Zhang family's affairs, and it is difficult for news to come out from the inside, I know Guo Tu and have been keeping an eye on him."

Zhao Xu nodded.

He had to admit that Yanwei was just established and was not as good as Tianxianglou in terms of intelligence.

In the monitoring of Shanggu County and Yan County, Yanwei performed well, but the investigation of Fanyang was much weaker.

"It seems that Yuan Li is going to do something big." Zhao Xu thought to himself.

First there was the news revealed by Zhongli, and now there is Xu E's information.

This made him have to be vigilant.

After all, the Yuan family has a history of private trade with the Northern Di.

Yuan Li has no bottom line, he may do anything.

"Thank you, Miss Xu. I have also heard some rumors recently. The people below will keep an eye on Fan Yang." Zhao Xu said.

Xu E smiled, "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. The master said that the hope of Yanzhou now lies in your Highness, and it is our duty to help your Highness."

"I didn't expect that the master thinks so highly of me. I have to thank you." Zhao Xu smiled.

"Your Highness deserves this praise. Now Yanzhou is the only one who can resist the Northern Di. Although I am a woman, I also admire you in my heart." Xu E said, looking at Zhao Xu affectionately.

Zhao Xu coughed twice, stood up and said, "Miss Xu, do you want to stay at the palace for lunch?"

"I would like to, but your highness's maidservant is very powerful. I'm afraid I can't eat well. Let's go back. I just hope your highness can come to Tianxiang Tower often." Xu E glanced at Feng'er standing outside the door.

Zhao Xu laughed dumbly. Feng'er was a bit fierce.

But she was not jealous. According to her words, not everyone could become a guest of the palace.

Let Feng'er send Xu E to the door.

He sent someone to call Xu Ke to the study.

"How many people have Yanwei developed now?" Zhao Xu said.

The silver allocated to Yanwei is about 200,000 or 300,000 taels.

There is also the income from the hot pot restaurant. He wants to see results after spending so much silver.

"Your Highness, there are 200 people in Yan County and Shanggu County, and there are 300 people in training now, and they will be sent out soon." Xu Ke was cautious.

The face of the King of Yan was not very good.

"Well, the number has increased, but we need to make greater use of it." Zhao Xu said, "In the next two days, you should select a group of capable people to go to Fanyang and keep an eye on the actions of the Yuan family. It would be best if you could contact a captain named Zhongli and help him find out some secrets."

"Is that the Zhongli who besieged Gaojiawu Fort? He is from the Zhong family in Shangyi County, and his father is Zhong Shidao, right?" Xu Ke asked.

Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, "Yes, it's him. It seems that you are well-informed."

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness. This is my job." Xu Ke was slightly proud.

"Well, the collection of intelligence is of great importance, and sometimes it even affects the success or failure of a war. In addition to the Yuan family, you'd better be able to monitor the movements of the grassland." Zhao Xu instructed.

Xu Ke suddenly felt that the burden on him was heavier.

During this period, he was actually busy almost without touching the ground.

He had to collect intelligence for the palace and train a large number of new members.

These people were basically a blank sheet of paper and needed special training.

In addition to being good at tracking, he also didn't know many things, so he could only learn from the books given by the King of Yan.

Fortunately, the books given by the King of Yan were very powerful. In the words of the King of Yan, they were quite "awesome."

He did learn a lot of novel tracking, exploration, disguise, and intelligence transmission skills.

"Yes, Your Highness, Yan Wei will not let Your Highness down." Xu Ke patted his chest and promised.

Zhao Xu patted his shoulder and asked him to go back to his own business.

He came to a map.

This map was drawn by himself. With the data in his mind, he easily drew a very accurate map of the East Asian region.

According to the division of the states of Dasong, the map of Dasong was roughly marked on the map, and later the Beidi, Xiliang, Tubo, Jiaozhi and other places were roughly marked.

It can be said that if this map is released, it will definitely be a treasure.

And this is just the beginning. He will draw a world map in the future.

But this is provided to his own navy.

"Yuan family." Zhao Xu looked at the seven counties in Yanzhou on the map.

Now he occupies two counties in the northwest of Yanzhou.

There are still five counties in the hands of the Yuan family.

How can others sleep peacefully beside my bed?

Yuan Li thought so, and he thought so too.

After all, it is disgusting to have a force next to him that may stab him at any time.

And only by controlling the entire Yanzhou can he be truly worthy of the title of King of Yan.

…

Fanyang Camp.

"Sir, recently, many children of the Yuan family have disappeared from the army and their traces are unknown."

Zhongli stood in front of the bedroom window, looking at the withered ginkgo in the yard.

A child of the Zhong family came in from outside the door and whispered.

Zhongli narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.

That day, he had been resting in bed since he returned to the army from Yuan Li's mansion.

But secretly, he had been asking the children of the Zhong family to inquire around.

"What exactly is Yuan Li going to do?" Zhongli frowned.

He promised the King of Yan that he would find out the truth of the matter, and he was inevitably a little anxious.

"I pretended not to ask, and the others also said they didn't know." The Zhong family member replied.

Zhongli nodded, "Don't investigate too closely, so as not to arouse suspicion, but let the Zhong family keep an eye on it, and report immediately if there is anything important."

"Yes, young master." The Zhong family member bowed and left.

To investigate this matter, he dared only use the Zhong family members.

He didn't trust anyone else.

After all, once the matter was exposed, he would not only be unable to know Yuan Li's true purpose, but he would also be killed.

However, the tighter Yuan Li concealed it, the more he wanted to find out.
