"Recently, spies from foreign tribes have been spying on the secret way... Although they were also inquiring before, but after several attacks and lost soldiers, they retreated, but this time, for some reason, they were almost desperately attacking. Although the pass of this secret passage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the people in our stockade are not soldiers after all, and they have been seriously injured recently.
"When did the foreigners start to attack?" Qi Yuxuan asked.
Boss Yan thought about it for a while: "About half a month ago. I still remember that when General Qi came back in the stockade, he had a special celebration. I didn't expect that a large number of people appeared in the canyon outside the secret road the next day. Foreign spies, the strength of these people is obviously much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and the people in our stockade have never encountered such a powerful enemy." After a pause, he continued: "The most important thing is that these people know This secret passage can only allow a few people to pass through, but it still rushes up regardless of damage, which is simply incomprehensible.”
After speaking, Boss Yan sighed, this secret passage is actually very narrow, and it is impossible for a large group to pass through. Even if foreigners seize this secret passage, there is no danger to guard it. The secret passage will change hands again.
Boss Yan didn't understand why these people were desperately trying to cross this secret passage, but Xu Ziyu couldn't help but move when he heard the foreign masters he described.
In the original book, there were dozens of assassins who attacked Li Xiaolin, and it was impossible for those people to emerge out of thin air from the Daliang Kingdom. Judging from the time and scale of Qi Yuxuan's ambush, the spies lurking in the Daliang Kingdom were dispatched almost all at once, with the aim of killing him.
But the group of people who ambushed Li Xiaolin and those who ambushed Qi Yuxuan were obviously two groups of people. When reading the novel, Xu Ziyu was still wondering why there are so many foreign assassins in Daliang country. Now that think about it, the people who ambushed Li Xiaolin That group of people should have entered the territory of Daliang Kingdom after the defeat of the foreign race, and the tribal leader specially wanted to take revenge.
Zikou Pass was guarded by strict soldiers, and they couldn't get in. This secret passage naturally became their best choice.
Anyway, this group of people did not intend to go back alive, so their purpose was not to seize the secret passage, but to rush into the territory of Daliang Kingdom from here to take revenge on the Daliang Dynasty.
After thinking about this, Xu Ziyu's eyes lit up. If so, does that mean... As long as this secret passage is blocked, the assassins who killed Li Xiaolin will not be able to enter the country of Daliang. ? Does that mean... Yu Xuan doesn't have to die?
He turned his head sharply to look at Qi Yuxuan, those shining eyes looked a little scary.
Being stared at by such 'passionate' eyes, Qi Yuxuan naturally couldn't be unresponsive, he raised his head to look at Xu Ziyu, and raised one eyebrow.
"Yuxuan, do you have a way to guard this secret passage?" Xu Ziyu asked eagerly.
"Huh? What are your thoughts?" Qi Yuxuan asked.
Xu Ziyu quickly explained: "It's nothing, but I think that since the foreigners want to break through this secret passage so much, then we have to face them and guard the secret passage. Besides, seeing how eager he is to break through, there must be some What kind of conspiracy, as long as they can't make it through, no kind of conspiracy will go bankrupt."
"Yeah." Qi Yuxuan nodded. Xu Ziyu's words made sense. In fact, even if Xu Ziyu didn't say it, he would still find a way to keep this secret passage.
Judging from the posture of the foreigners, they sent some experts. would like to know what kind of losses such experts will cause to the Daliang Kingdom if they enter the Daliang State. Since he is here, he cannot say anything to let them succeed.
Although the people in the cottage are descendants of the prince, in fact, except for Boss Yan who can have some relationship with the prince, the others are poor farmers.
These people lost their land for various reasons and could not support themselves, so Mr. Yan took them in and let them open up wasteland and cultivate their own fields in the mountains. Every month, a caravan passes by this secret road, and Boss Yan explained to these people that they are responsible for collecting dog protection fees', so that these merchants can pass the secret road safely.

In the whole cottage, except for Boss Yan, no one knew that their 'protection fee' was authorized by His Majesty the Emperor. Otherwise, as long as Qi Yuxuan sent a battalion of soldiers to him, they would be able to settle it. .
This secret passage is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has always been aimed at foreigners. In order to reassure the emperor at the time, the location of this cottage was absolutely impossible to defend against the attack of Daliang.
Perhaps it was the wisdom of the little prince at that time that prevented the subsequent emperor from solving the problem. Instead, he secretly traded with foreign merchants through such a gray area.
Boss Yan has great control over the stockade, and everyone is accustomed to obeying his orders, but he is really not a good commander and can only rely on a few forts built by his predecessors to block the secret passage.
After knowing Qi Yuxuan's identity, he wisely took command. In terms of marching and fighting, a hundred of him can't compare to a single finger of Qi Yuxuan.
