Yaoyi couldn’t understand what Yuwen Tong was going to do. He rifled through the baggage doubtfully and took out two maps drawn on the fabric. He and the person standing by the side exchanged a glance before the latter nodded and took one map from Yaoyi. Then the two stood by the desk, each holding an unfolded map.

Yuwen Tong set his eyes on these two maps. His expression grew serious after some careful observation.

“Marshal, what do you find?” Yaoyi asked.

Yuwen Tong asked in reply, “Who is in charge of the water route of the Huangsha River in Yanzhou?”

Yaoyi answered after some ponderation, “Li Chong.”

“Now, send someone to investigate whether Li Chong has contact with Imperial Concubine Shu and the sixth Prince. Look into every possible lead, and leave no stones unturned,” Yuwen Tong said.

“Got it, Marshal,” replied the man who put the map down and went out.

Yaoyi watched the man go out and looked at the map again, his eyes widening out of shock, “Marshal, do you mean that Zhang Chong will take this waterway?”

Yuwen Tong glanced at him and said, “You are not so stupid.”

Yaoyi wasn’t interested in hearing Yuwen Tong’s praise at all. “But the encampment of the Prefecture Guard in Tanyang and Huangsha River are separated by vast mountains, right?” Yuwen Tong pointed at those mountains on the map. Eyes following along his fingertip, Yaoyi said, “These palaces have been occupied by the bandits.”

The map was marked with dense red dots, all referring to the massive bandits.

“Get someone to dig out everything in these mountains,” Yuwen Tong said.

The lights in Green Bamboo Mansion were turned off again after an hour. Ling Zhang, who lived next door, still didn’t fall asleep and only slightly relieved the inward fidget by drinking a large cup of cold water.

It was not until dawn that he finally managed to fall asleep. Welcome to unlock the whole chapter 61 - Recruiting New Guards on Flying Lines.
