"How is the situation?" Wei San asked his subordinates: "Is there any opportunity to take action in Nanlincheng?"

Since he had thought about Nanlingcheng again, Wei San has increased his collection of information about Nanlingcheng and looked for opportunities to take action.

Wei San was not stupid. He knew that he only had one chance. If he didn't succeed, he would not make a comeback again. I'm afraid he would find it difficult to get out of Nanlincheng. Therefore, although he wanted to attack Nanlincheng, he was very cautious and was waiting for an excellent opportunity to move.

If there was no such opportunity, then he could only give up attacking Nanlincheng helplessly. After all, he was a person who cherished his life. Although he also had the courage to try, he would not die even though he knew that he could not do anything.

These days, Wei San sent several men to investigate the Nanling City in order to control more information.

This arrangement was very effective, which gave him more knowledge about Nanling City. At the same time, he also knew about the assassination of the eldest prince.

This incident annoyed him because he knew that after such a thing happened, the defense power in the southern neighboring city would definitely be strengthened, and Duan Wanming would not watch his son-in-law have an accident on his territory.

Once the southern neighboring city is highly alert, their chances of taking action will be even smaller.

After all, in the head-on confrontation, they are no match for the defenders of the south neighboring city. When the opponent is prepared, they will have no way to attack the city.

However, although he knew this, Wei San was still unwilling to give up. Therefore, the number of people sent to investigate the situation in the Nanling City was not only not reduced, but also increased a lot.

"Return to the leader, the gate of the city next to the south is open!" The minion who came back to report the message said excitedly.

"What?!" Wei San stood up suddenly when he heard this, with a look of surprise on his face: "So, the assassin who assassinated the eldest prince was caught?"

Wei San also knew about the Nanling City closing the gates to search for assassins. He originally wanted to infiltrate some of the people into Nanling City first and cooperate with each other inside and outside. In this way, it would be much easier for them to capture Nanling City.

But after the city gate was closed, this method was obviously impossible to implement, which disappointed Wei San and made him very angry with the assassin who assassinated the eldest prince. It was precisely because of the other party's actions that this situation occurred.

Now, after hearing that the city gate was opened, Wei San was naturally excited, which meant that they had another chance. Of course, whether they could take action depends on the specific situation in the southern neighboring city.

"I don't know this." The minion said, "But one thing is strange. After the gate of the south neighboring city opened, many defenders came out of the city. They seemed to be chasing someone, and they were all very anxious."

"Is this happening?" Wei San asked.

"have!"

Wei San frowned slightly and said to himself: "Is it because the assassin escaped from the southern neighboring city and Duan Wanming's old thing knew, so he sent someone to chase him?"

The more I thought about it, Wei Sanyue felt that this was very likely, otherwise, it would not be able to explain the current situation in Nanling City.

However, this idea was quickly denied by Wei San because other people sent out to inquire about the news came back one after another, and they brought back news similar to the one before.

This surprised Wei San even more.

"What's wrong? Even if you catch an assassin, you don't need to have such a big battle, right? There are a large number of troops sent out in all directions, and the eldest prince was not killed. Is it necessary for Duan Wanming to hold on like this?" Wei San said in confusion.

Wei San could not understand Duan Wanming's reaction.

The assassin did assassinate Zhao Xuan, but it did not succeed. If the assassin escaped, it would be normal for Duan Wanming to send some people to chase him. But like now, it would be a bit unreasonable to send a large number of troops to chase him. In other words, Duan Wanming's reaction was too extreme.

What did Wei San think and why did he think this matter was strange?

Soon, another even more shocking news came:

Duan Xiu'er is dead!

Wei San also knew Duan Xiu'er's identity. After all, he had worked a lot on Nanling City during this period. He not only learned a lot about Nanling City, but also knew a lot about the interpersonal relationships in the city lord's mansion.

Therefore, Wei San knew that Duan Xiuer was not only Duan Wanming's daughter, but also Zhao Xuan's concubine, but also the only concubine Zhao Xuan brought out this time.

With these two identities, Duan Xiuer's dignity naturally doesn't need to be said much.

Nanlingcheng is the territory of the Duan family. In theory, Duan Xiuer should be very safe here, but now she is dead, which is obviously abnormal.

Later, Wei San learned that Duan Xiu'er did not die in the southern neighboring city, but outside the city.

"Outside the city?"

Wei San seemed to understand something.

Duan Wanming mobilized a large number of troops out of the city, and then the news of Duan Xiuer's death came, and these two things must be related.

Wei San guessed that the reason why Duan Wanming made such a big formation was probably related to Duan Xiu'er, and Duan Xiu'er was always with Zhao Xuan. Therefore, Zhao Xuan was probably not in the city at this time. Looking at Duan Wanming's hurrying look, it is very likely that Duan Xiu'er and Zhao Xuan did not voluntarily leave the southern neighboring city.

In other words, Zhao Xuan and Duan Xiuer were kidnapped!

Therefore, Duan Wanming was so anxious and sent so many troops out of the city.

"It must be like this!" Wei San's face was full of excitement and thought he had figured it out.

Only in this way can we explain why Duan Wanming had such an extreme reaction.

After all, that is his own daughter and son-in-law, especially Zhao Xuan, who is the eldest prince. Once something happens, Duan Wanming is the sinner of the entire country and will be criticized by many people.

Moreover, the interests of the Duan family are also tied to Zhao Xuan, so Duan Wanming naturally cannot let Zhao Xuan get into trouble.

"Since Zhao Xuan is likely to be outside the city, it is a chance for God to come to him." Wei San said to himself: "If I miss this opportunity, I will be punished by God. Moreover, the defense of the Nanling City is obviously empty, and it is also an opportunity to take advantage of it. All this is great. Thanks to the assassin who hijacked Zhao Xuan."

Wei San's more excited as he thought about it.

The opportunity he had been waiting for finally came!

If he could find Zhao Xuan, it would naturally be a great thing. With Zhao Xuan in hand, he could do a lot of things, recruit rebels from other forces, negotiate with the court, enhance his prestige, etc.
