Xiao Ding was not happy for too long because the parties in southern Yunnan reached a cooperation intention. Just when only the father and son and Li Ling were left, the latter finally told a thing that Xiao Gan had not had time to say.

"Transfer the tiger away from the mountain..." Xiao Ding repeated Li Ling's last statement, and his expression became solemn again, "Are you saying that they not only want to assassinate me this time, but also to transfer my elder brother out of Queensland?"

"Then what Shao Qiuxi said when he fought with Senior Xiao, and the official also felt that this statement was quite reasonable." Li Ling also replied carefully, "It is of great importance, and he dare not speak nonsense."

Xiao Chengzhi also looked worried at this time: "Father, the current defense in Queensland is indeed much weaker than before. If they really want to take advantage of the situation..."

The words of worry later were interrupted by Xiao Ding's wave of his hand. Of course, he was very clear about the fact that the garrison power in Kunzhou has been greatly reduced. Not only is the lack of such a great master, Xiao Gan, but also the Dingxi Army was also transferred to various places to quell the rebellion. There were even two elite troops sent by him to the pass adjacent to Qianzhou in the east to guard against the disturbances there.

Eighty thousand Dingxi Army guards southern Yunnan, which is generally enough, and 50,000 can be left in Kunzhou City. But now, after several changes, less than ten thousand people stayed in Kunzhou City. This little army is naturally more than enough to defend the four gates. Even if there are really enemy troops attacking the city, they can defend it for ten days and half a month without worrying. But what if there is chaos in the city?

At this time, Xiao Ding had already thought of a question that had been before, why did the Luotian Sect deliberately warn Xiao Gan before assassinating him? Isn’t this just notifying him earlier and letting him be prepared? It is precisely because of this that he was prepared today, and Xiao Gan was on the side, which made Shao Qiuxi’s shot fall!

But why did Luo Tian Sect want to do this in one go? Why did they really want to kill themselves? Why did they have such a big fanfare? What is the purpose of ulterior motives under this? They did not think deeply about these issues before, but at this time, they had to make further considerations.

Li Ling looked solemn. He had already experienced the terrible meticulousness of his opponents in Qianzhou. This time, he naturally thought to himself even worse: "Mr. Marquis, do you think they would copy the methods of Qianzhou, incite the local barbarians, and take advantage of the situation to attack Kunzhou?"

"This possibility is not great. Neither the remnants of the Huntian Army nor the Luotian Sect have achieved this strength." Xiao Ding shook his head and denied it.

"How do you say this? Didn't they do it easily in Qianzhou?" Li Ling said with some confusion.

"Because southern Yunnan is not Qianzhou." Xiao Ding replied immediately, and then further explained, "The Qianman in Qianzhou has never had the same rank, which was caused by the dominance of the Long family in the local area. As long as they gather all the mature man who is willing to be Chinese and obey orders, they will be enough to rule the entire Qianzhou. As for the Shengman who is hidden in the mountains and forests, they have long given up easily.

"But it's different in southern Yunnan, because the situation here is more complicated, and the forces of all parties are intertwined. It's my Xiao family. As long as you have the opportunity, you will be willing to contact those people who are already in contact with them, let alone Duan Gao and others who already have a good relationship with them.

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. The several accidents that happened in southern Yunnan during this period were mostly caused by the fact that nearly half of them were mainly the savages. And they would act like this and have such cohesion because the forces of various races were fueling the fire.

"So, my southern Yunnan Chinese and mature man seem to be two different, but they are actually one family. Judging from the attitude of these people today, they have not yet been in harmony with the Luotian Sect, so it is naturally impossible to call their troops to attack me in Kunming at this time."

"Is this really the case?" Li Ling nodded suddenly. The situation in southern Yunnan is indeed very different from that in Qianzhou, and the tricks there are indeed not suitable for this place. However, his doubts did not dissipate: "Then what are they doing to lure the tiger away from the mountain? Just to take this opportunity to disrupt the stability of Kunming?"

Xiao Chengzhi smiled and said, "This is also difficult to do. Although the garrison in Kunming is empty now, they can't do it just by wanting to make trouble. My cousin Sun Bi is still in charge of the overall situation there. Don't underestimate him. Although he is far inferior to me in terms of martial arts, in recent years in southern Yunnan, he even praised his father for his methods of governing the military and the people."

"Yes, Bi'er is indeed outstanding in ability, and both the military and civilians are extremely obedient to him. This is also one of the reasons why I can come here with confidence. As long as he is in the city, Kunming will be in chaos. Besides, there is Jiang Han who assists from the side..." At this point, Dingxi Hou suddenly frowned, and a thought was captured by him, and a strong sense of anxiety arose in his heart.

Master, luring the tiger away from the mountain, Sun Bi... These keywords kept circling in his mind. Finally, a bold guess came to his mouth: "Can they never target me, but Bi'er..." As soon as this was said, not only him, but also Xiao Chengzhi showed panic. This was something they had never encountered before, even when Xiao Ding faced the assassination of a master like Shao Qiuxi.

Seeing that they were nervous and discolored at the same time, Li Ling was a little confused, and almost said, "How is this possible?". Yes, in his opinion, Sun Bi may have certain talents, and perhaps his identity is a bit special, but he is really not as important as Xiao Ding, the Dingxi Marquis. How could the other party spend so much effort just to deal with him?

But judging from the reactions of the father and son, it is obvious that this is what they are most worried about. But what is the problem? Is Sun Bi's identity special?

Although it was a bit abrupt to ask the other party about Sun Bi's identity directly, Li Ling didn't care about it at such a critical moment. In a second thought, he asked: "Marty, what's special about Sun Bi? If he really makes any mistakes, will the entire southern Yunnan change?"

"Not only southern Yunnan, the entire southwest, and even the whole world may have a big storm because of his fall into the hands of Luotian Sect!" Xiao Ding did not hide it anymore, but his tone had become extremely serious. He stared at Li Ling, lowered his voice, and said words that made his heart beat suddenly accelerate: "It is true that Bi'er is my nephew, but at the same time, he is also the current seventh prince and the youngest son of His Majesty!"

"What?" Li Ling could hardly control his mouth at this moment. After hearing this, he exclaimed in surprise. He really couldn't even dream of Sun Bi, he was the prince!

After a short moment, he realized again. He finally remembered why the name Sun Bi felt a little familiar, because just a year ago, he had heard the name of the prince from Yang Qinghou!

The current emperor Sun Yong has nine sons, three of whom died young, and now four are adults, namely the crown prince Sun Cong, the Jing Wang Sun Qi, the Yong Wang Sun Lin, and the Seventh Prince Sun Bi.

Now the crown prince is still in the northern border. King Yong is in charge of the Ministry of Justice. He is called a wise king of the generation by his subjects all over the world. He has a very high reputation. King Jing has always been with the emperor because of his weak literary style, but he has no intention of succeeding the throne. Only Sun Bi is the most inconspicuous among these four adult princes. The only saying that he is irritable and rude and is not favored by his father, so he has always been neglected.

As a result, the court and the people had no more interest in him. Even though he was a descendant of the Tian family, who had not even been named a prince and did not even like the emperor, would he spend his time on him? So for so many years, Sun Bi has been ignored, naturally including Li Ling.

But at this moment, in southern Yunnan, Xiao Ding, the Marquis of Dingxi, suddenly told him that Sun Bi, who had always had contact with him, had outstanding abilities, but was gentle and polite friend of the same age, was the legendary seventh prince?

The impact was too huge, so huge that he had many problems, such as how did Su Sunbi, a prince, run to the southwest border? What is his relationship with the Xiao family? Legend has it that the rude and irritable prince who was neglected by the emperor did not look like that?... But for a while, none of him could ask these many questions. The only manifestation was that he opened his mouth wide and stared at Xiao Ding, as if he was looking forward to him saying something that he was actually joking.

But this is obviously impossible. Xiao Ding can't joke about such things if he doesn't care about it, let alone that he is still such a tense moment now.

He was surprised for a while and lost his mind for a while. It was not until Xiao Ding coughed softly that Li Ling came to his senses from the shock. However, his mood was still very chaotic, so he said casually: "So, Marquis, are you and Your Majesty?"

"In folk sayings, it should be my brother-in-law. My wife and Bi'er's mother are sisters." When he said this, Dingxi Hou's face was a little bitter. However, this expression just faded away. Li Ling didn't really notice it. He just listened to him continue, "It is precisely because of this relationship that when Bi'er came here four years ago, I would keep him by my side, teach him carefully, and watch him grow up little by little.

"But his identity is too special after all, so no one knows it except a very few people. In the eyes of others, Bi'er is an ordinary young man in the southwest of me. No one will suspect that he is actually related to the royal family."

When he said this, Li Ling nodded in agreement. Yes, Sun Bi looked so different from the emperor and Sun Lin. This was also an important reason why Li Ling never thought of his identity. It was completely like a southwestern barbarian.

They didn't say much about such trivial matters. Soon, Xiao Ding said with a serious expression: "Although this is just my guess, it is important. You must not really let something happen to Bi'er, so you must go back immediately."

"Then the follow-up?" Li Ling said with some concern. With this incident, as soon as Mu Kun was taken down, Chuxiong was no longer a member of his family. How to divide this place will naturally become the focus of attention of various forces in southern Yunnan.
