Chapter 50: Bad Progress

After Li Haochen knew the whole story, he sent Lu Bingting away. His sleepiness was gone after such a toss. He quietly waited for the few people to come back to report. Li Haochen knew that he was not suitable to go out at this moment. Now it was indeed a bit like what Lu Bingting said, a little bored.

The first person to come back was Lu Tie. He was only responsible for setting up the Qimen formation, so that people could not find this inn. This matter was very easy for Lu Tie. Soon Lu Tie came back and reported to him and told him that everything was arranged properly.

After Lu Tie finished reporting, he was about to go out, but he was stopped by Li Haochen. Li Haochen said a little embarrassedly: "Uncle Lu, Ling Ai came just now!"

Listening to Li Haochen's words, Lu Tie, who knew his daughter better than his father, quickly said, "General, I have been spoiled by me since I was a child. If she has any offense to General Dao, please don't bother with her for the sake of the young man!" When Lu Tie heard Li Haochen say this, he thought that his girl had offended Li Haochen and quickly explained.

Li Haochen briefly told Lu Tie about the incident. Lu Tie shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Hey! This Pingting! General, you don't know. I, a girl, learned the charming technique passed down from her ancestors since she was a child. Every frown and smile can stimulate the desires of normal men. The general can remain indifferent! The little boy admired it!" As he said that, Lu Tie bowed to Li Haochen and continued: "Pingting has been lonely and cold since she was a child. Apart from using the charming technique, she will never smile at anyone. If she smiles, it is a magic trick! Please be careful in the future! My girl has been unwilling to give in. Today, he failed to use the magic trick on you. It is hard to guarantee that she will not use the magic trick on you again that day, but General, please rest assured that this charm trick itself does not harm people!"

Li Haochen nodded when he heard this, saying that he already knew it. At this moment, Lu Pingting's frown and smile just now appeared in his mind. Now that he thinks about it, Li Haochen feels a little big and numb in his scalp. He thought to himself, it seems that he has to be careful in everything he has to get along with this girl in the future.

Lu Tie sighed again and said, "This Pingting, you can't use this method to test the general! This is an unfair thing to the general! Pingting's charming technique has achieved some success, and ordinary people cannot resist it at all! The little old man is going to talk to her now!" After Lu Tie finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed and said goodbye to Li Haochen, then turned around and left the room.

Time passed quickly. Li Haochen did not wait for the report from the Lu brothers for several days. He was also a little confused at this moment. He was very worried about the safety of the two. Li Haochen couldn't sit still. He wanted to go out to see what was going on outside. At this moment, Li Haochen had already determined that something might have happened to the Lu brothers!"

On this day, Li Haochen packed up some simple daily necessities and was about to walk outside the inn to inquire about the news on his own. As soon as he went out, he saw Lu Tong who was rushing to go out. When Lu Tong saw Li Haochen going out, he said in surprise: "General, where are you going?"

Li Haochen was very happy when he saw that it was Lu Tong who came back. Then he took Lu Tong into his room and asked, "Lu Tong, can you find out clearly?"

When Lu Tong heard Li Haochen's question, he immediately looked embarrassed on his face. He lowered his head and said, "General, the investigation was not going smoothly. It was okay to get close to Li Shimin's family at first, but two days ago, all the families were closely guarded. Our spies could not go deeper. Even the maids who went out to buy vegetables sent servants to follow them, so that they would not let strangers get close. However, we had an open and secret investigation by Li Shimin, and we had only one conclusion, that is, they were completely missing." After saying that, Lu Tong's head lowered even lower, as if waiting for Li Haochen's punishment. Seeing that Li Haochen had not spoken for a while, he said, "I am not good at doing things, please punish me!"

Li Haochen did not deliberately ignore Lu Tong, but he was thinking about what made all these families and forces alert? Li Haochen thought about it and realized that someone must have missed the news.

Li Haochen said to Lu Tong: "Lu Tong, you should get up first! You can't blame you for this matter. It is obvious that someone leaked the news, which made them alert, so you naturally can't find out anything!"

When Lu Tong heard this, he looked a little nervous and said, "General, are you saying there are traitors among us?"

Li Haochen nodded first when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "Is there any traitor still not good? You can investigate it thoroughly now and know everyone in our operation."

Although Lu Tong didn't believe that his brothers would betray him, since Li Haochen had given the order, he would still do it. He clasped his fists at Li Haochen and Lu Tong left the room.

Li Haochen actually had a partner of suspicion in his heart, but he was not sure at this moment. Everything had to be decided until Lu Tong thoroughly investigated.

Li Haochen was waiting for news in the room, and it was not Lu Tong who came first but the dusty Lu Gang.

Before Li Haochen could speak, Lu Gang fell to the ground and said, "Lu Gang reported to the general. I waited in the former Qin King's mansion for three days and found that a person often sneaked in and out, but this person never walked through the main entrance. I didn't know where he came in and out. I wanted to arrest him for interrogation, but when I caught him, he shouted and attracted officers and soldiers. In order not to alarm the enemy, I had to give up and evacuate quickly."

Li Haochen quickly asked Lu Gang to get up, and then carefully thought about Lu Gang's words. He didn't see this person entering and leaving the main gate. He should have walked on the secret passage. After all, Chang'an had experienced wars. High-gate courtyards like the Qin Palace must have secret passages. And the person who knew this secret passage was Li Shimin's close minister, but unfortunately he let him run away. Li Haochen said in his heart.

At this time, Lu Tong also came back to report that he had asked all the brothers who were familiar with the matter and used the mind reading technique. No one was a traitor, so he came to report to Li Haochen.

Li Haochen had already determined who betrayed them when he listened to Lu Tong's words, but at this moment Li Haochen really didn't have time to deal with this matter. What he urgently needed to do now is to find the source of the rumor, and then kill a warning to all the people, and finally let him come forward to the people to explain it to the people, and at the same time release all the detained people, so that the rumor storm would stop. The reason why Li Yuan gave him a month was to tell him that if he could not find the initiator, Li Haochen would have to die for this person so that the rumor could be stopped. So now time is extremely nervous about Li Haochen.
