Dali City is not big, and the main street is not too long. The city defense has been put under martial law, but merchants gather here. There are many shops on both sides of the street, row upon row, with different clothes and different languages. Businessmen from different tribes come and go, making it seem bustling and lively.
Ji Ruxuan had obviously done his homework in advance and talked freely about the culture of various tribes in Dali City.

Jiang Fuguang walked and looked all the way, the carriage slowly following behind him.

Most of the products sold in the shop are rouge, gouache, jewelry, spices and medicinal materials, furs, cloth and silk. The dazzling array is dazzling, and half of them are from the Southern Dynasties.

A few people passed by a food shop. Ji Ruxuan saw that the food shop was quite clean, so he took Jiang Fuguang to sit on the food table by the roadside and ordered Dali City's unique milk fan and roasted bait cubes.

The breast fan is made of milk and has the sweetness of papaya. Jiang Fuguang especially likes it. Ji Ruxuan also asked about the making of the breast fan and planned to return to the Southern Dynasties and make it for her.

After eating, the group was about to leave when the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance.

Jiang Fuguang followed the sound and saw the clatter of hooves as more than a dozen fast horses came galloping towards him. Pedestrians on the street were not surprised and moved out of their way. The riders were wearing the clothes common to the Naxi people and it was hard to tell who they were.

Ji Ruxuan was very alert and stood in front of Jiang Fuguang, covering her figure. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the group of people carefully for a while until they rode away.

"He is the warrior of Yun China."

Jiang Fuguang's eyelids twitched suddenly: "How can you tell?"

Ji Ruxuan's eyes were deep, and even his voice had a hint of darkness as he said: "Although they wear the common clothes of the Naxi people, one of the riders has tiger stripes on his arms. When he pulls the reins, his sleeves are rolled up, and his forearms are An inch of his tattoo is exposed, and if you look closely, you can guess it’s a tiger pattern.”

In China, tigers are the most popular, and many warriors will tattoo tiger stripes on their bodies to show their strength and bravery.

Jiang Fuguang's heart sank slightly.

The city of Dali was under the rule of the Southern Dynasties and the Sanzhao. The Chinese were not allowed to enter without the permission of the Sanzhao. Now the Sanzhao was preparing for war. Luo Yan also mentioned before that the city defense was under martial law. Just as she walked along, she discovered There have been a lot of patrols in the city, and I think the blockade will only take place in a day or two.

So how did the warriors of Yun China evade the city defenses and enter the city blatantly?

What is their purpose in going to the city?
Yue Jizhao is the tribe with the largest territory and the strongest military force among the three imperial edicts. The majority are Naxi people and they are also in power. Why do the warriors of China wear Naxi people's clothes and sneak into Dali City?

Jiang Fuguang didn't want to go shopping. He returned to the inn, opened the map of the southwest, and stared at it for a long time: "Yue Jie, something happened in the imperial edict. I need to see Sheng Lilong."

"No," Ji Ruxuan's face turned dark, "If something happens to Yue Jizhao, if you go to see Sheng Lilong, wouldn't you be sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?"

Lieutenant Wu also had a look of disapproval: "If the elder is worried, why not send someone to investigate. Why put yourself at risk?"

Jiang Fuguang shook his head: "Yue Jizhao is located in Binchuan and is in contact with Yun Zhongguo. I am worried that Yue Jizhao will not be able to withstand Yun Zhongguo's intensified provocations, so he will seek refuge with Yun Zhongguo and cooperate with Yun Zhongguo internally and externally to seize Dali City. Mengxi and Mengshe unite the southwest.”

The atmosphere became very solemn. "Lingnan is about to start a war. If something goes wrong in the southwest, our original plan will be aborted. What's more serious is that Piroye can send troops to Lingnan, and the Qi army will really face the danger of being attacked from both sides. ."

If you capture Dali City, you will be able to control the entire southwest. If you want to capture Dali City, you must first conquer Yue Xizhao.

Assuming that Yue Jizhao defected to Yunzhong, how long would it take for Yunzhong to capture Mengshe and Mengxi?
The combined troops of Mengshe and Mengxi were only [-] to [-] soldiers and horses. How long could they last if they were back-stabbed by the alliance without defense?
Piroye controlled a bloody and brutal army. How could the stable and comfortable Menshe and Mengxi, under the protection of the Southern Dynasty, be able to compete?
Putting aside his fear of the Southern Dynasty, Piroye's conquest of Menshe and Menxi would not take more than ten days at most.

At this time, the Qi Army was still fighting against the South Vietnamese.

Piroye, who unified the southwest, has greatly increased his strength and ambition. This is a great opportunity for him to take advantage of the opportunity and send troops to Lingnan.

She said solemnly: "The spies can only get information. This time, it will take a long time. I can't wait, and Yun Zhongguo won't wait. In the meantime, Yue Jizhao will have serious changes at any time. I can't risk [-] yuan." The Qi family's army was in danger, threatening the Southern Dynasty's state, so Yue analyzed the imperial edict and could not make any mistakes."

Ji Ruxuan pursed her lips and said nothing.

Regardless of all this, as Jiang Fuguang suspected, Yue Jizhao must go.

Lieutenant Wu frowned: "If Yue Jizhao defected to Yun Zhongguo, even if the eldest princess went to see Sheng Lilong in person, what would be changed? If Sheng Lilong united with Yun Zhongguo to attack the eldest princess..."

His duty is to protect the safety of the princess.

If the eldest princess made a mistake, he would not be able to forgive her even if she died, so he did not want the eldest princess to put herself in danger.

"It's not serious enough yet," Jiang Fuguang frowned and explained, "Sanzhao does not want to submit to Piroye's tyranny, and he does not want his people to become slaves of Yun China. There is no doubt about it. Sheng Lilong will not take refuge in Cloud China unless absolutely necessary."

"There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests." Lieutenant Wu glanced at the eldest princess's personal guard. Seeing that he didn't speak, he seemed to have acquiesced in the eldest princess's personal danger. "If Piro The benefits given by Ye are enough, do you still think that Sheng Lilong will not turn against him?"

Jiang Fuguang could not deny: "Today, Luo Yan came to visit on behalf of Sanzhao. His words were quite sincere. It shows that Sanzhao did not want to really offend the Southern Dynasty, and jointly raised a batch of supplies. It shows that there is still sincerity."

"Three Zhaos are already preparing for war. They are well prepared to face Piroye. Material resources are also very tight. Although they have not fully fulfilled the terms of the communist resistance to South Vietnam, they have given sufficient material support. This also shows that Sanzhao still has great support for the Southern Dynasties. Have a heart of surrender.”

The more she analyzes the situation of the imperial edict, the more she will not make arbitrary suspicions. It is a matter of great importance to the country, so she should be cautious about it. Only after seeing it in person can she truly feel at ease.

Lieutenant Wu frowned and said nothing.

"What I'm really worried about is not Sheng Lilong." After all, the leader of the first unit, Sheng Lilong, is not that shallow. "Yun Zhonghua frequently provokes and causes troubles on the border of Yue Jizhao. I think Yue Jizhao's people are unstable. The major forces among the barbarians all have their own interests, and not all of them may be of the same mind as Sheng Lilong."
