Sui and Tang Dynasties: Beginning with Overlord Inheritance

It was dark, in Yang Zhao's courtyard.

In the east room, several people gathered together, and their expressions were not very good.

"Young master, there is nothing."

Su Wei looked frustrated. The east side he was in charge of was basically a place where some gentry children hovered.

He also searched for the rest of the surrounding mountains.

Nothing at all.

From the time he saw that area, he knew that he had little hope.

It is impossible for Li Yuanwai to appear in front of these young masters so openly.

So he went straight to the surrounding mountains.

"The area to the east is the residence of the children of rich families, and the surrounding mountains are also hunting grounds. Li Yuanwai is not in the east."

Yang Zhao nodded, this is normal.

"There is none in the west either. Most of them are the residences of merchants. With Mrs. Cui there, they are all his eyeliners. It is impossible for Li Yuanwai to choose to stay dormant there."

"People often go up the mountain in the west. Most of them come to pick medicine. There are people coming and going. Li Yuanwai probably wouldn't choose this side."

Pei Ju also had a dejected look on his face. Like Su Wei, he went from entering to the west.

He already knew he might get nothing.

"Not in the south either, that's where Cui's guards live, and they're heavily guarded."

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice.

Everyone looked hopefully at Xu Maogong.

From this point of view, only the north side is possible.

Xu Maogong sighed helplessly.

"There are some possibilities in the north. There are mountains and forests there, desolate and uninhabited, but there is no trace of human habitation there."

"Also, there are many wild beasts in the mountains and forests, and it is very difficult to live there."

Yang Zhao nodded, he was not surprised by today's result.

From the beginning, he felt that there was no possibility in all directions, so he took a little look today.

North, most likely, is not much hope.

The mountains and forests over there are all barren hills, the terrain is very steep, and it is difficult to even go up and down the mountain. Let alone Li Yuanwai, even woodcutters who go up and down the mountain all the year round may not be able to get in and out easily.

What's more, there are wild beasts infesting, Li Yuanwai is just a member, without great skills, if he goes up, he can only die.

More importantly, if he went there, would Li Yuanwai build a house for himself to live in?
"My lord, do you think Li Yuanwai chose to be in the north, perhaps, has been eaten by wild beasts?"

Su Wei was very frustrated, he had found all possible places.

But obviously there was still no result, and he couldn't help thinking of this possibility.

Yang Zhao shook his head:
"No, judging from Li Yuanwai's escape for so long, he won't be so stupid."

Xu Maogong also nodded in agreement:
"That's right. After the Cui Mansion knows the news, they will definitely send a large number of people to search for it. Whether Li Yuanwai can't be found is enough to show his wisdom."

Wei Zheng also added:
"He's a businessman again, and he doesn't lack brains. He has searched everywhere he can find now. If there is no news, he may really leave."

Pei Ju frowned, and asked tentatively:

"Could it be that our direction is wrong?"

Everyone looked over together, and Pei Ju expressed his thoughts:
"If I were Li Yuanwai, I should do my best to avoid the Cui Mansion's search immediately. Of course, he has already done it."

"Now is a critical moment. Not only do we need to find the evidence of Cui Fu, but we also need to hide ourselves."

"On the contrary, the north of Dongwucheng County is a rural area, and the poverty there, the Cui Mansion must not have imagined."

"Even if the journey is farther, it's safe. So, did we go in the wrong direction at the beginning?"

Wei Zheng thought about it, felt that it made sense, and praised the channel:

"It's possible. Our goal should indeed be in the entire Tobu City County. However, if the distance is too far, it will be inconvenient to be tempted. For Li Yuanwai, the risk of exposure will increase."

Su Wei was silent, he couldn't think of a better way.

Yang Zhao looked at Xu Maogong and asked:
"Xu Gong, what do you think?"

Xu Maogong stroked his beard and said:
"My lord, Li Yuanwai will not be in the north. Our direction is correct. There may be some places that we didn't expect."

Yang Zhao nodded and said:
"I think so too. First of all, if Li Yuanwai lives in the north, although it is safe, don't forget his purpose."

"If he wants to investigate Cui Jin, he must approach the Cui Mansion, you see."

With that said, Yang Zhao pointed to the map on the desktop, the north position continued:

"From the north to the Cui Mansion in the city, you must enter the main road on the way. As long as he appears, it must be very dangerous."

"The strength of Cui's mansion won't allow his family to act, and some nearby gentry will also help. On the main road, no matter what happens to him, he will directly expose himself."

After thinking about it carefully, everyone felt that Yang Zhao's analysis was quite correct.

There is no need for Chang'an in Tobu City and County, and there are only a few main roads, especially when it is so tense.

It is absolutely impossible for Li Yuanwai to state his story in a grand manner.

Unless he has the same human skin mask as Yang Zhao.

Obviously, he would not have such a technique as a member of the staff.

Then there is only one way to disguise yourself, put on a cloak and wrap yourself tightly.

But on the main road in Dongbu City County, those guards saw a strangely dressed person, and they would interrogate him no matter whether it was inside or outside the city.

As long as one checks, Li Yuanwai will be exposed.

"If he wants to meet all the above conditions, he must still be near the Cui Mansion."

"That way, there's no risk in his operation because he doesn't have to go out at all."

"Yes! Surveillance!"

As Yang Zhao talked, he thought of where Li Yuanwai might exist.

"He has to monitor the Cui Mansion for a long time. He needs to know the movements of the Cui Mansion, and then he can find time to go in and investigate."

Pei Ju thought for a while, then frowned:
"My lord, but we have searched all around Cui's residence today, Li Yuanwai is not around here!"

Yang Zhao shook his head and said firmly:
"There must be somewhere near here that we have overlooked."

"As long as we find that place, we will know where Li Yuanwai is hiding!"

In the next few days, according to Yang Zhao's instructions, Xu Maogong and others will patrol around the Cui Mansion every day.

But still nothing was gained, they did not find any place where they could monitor the Cui Mansion without being noticed by the Cui Mansion.

because they found out.

Although it cannot be said that the defense around Cui's mansion prevents even flies from flying in, as long as there are suspicious people, there is a risk of being discovered.

After all, Li Yuanwai is a person, and he must eat after finding a place.

It's good that those places can monitor Cui's residence very well, but there is one thing, once you enter, you can't come out.
