"Your Highness, the information that the secret guards have gathered is only about this much.”
However, Cao Zhengchun's respectful gaze could not help but be filled with doubt as he looked at Li Ke, who seemed to be in a daze.
"Your Highness, these people are at most martial arts grandmasters, and some of them are assassins. Moreover, if Your Highness wants to fight for the throne, the governor of Jing Province is located in Jing Province. Although it is adjacent to Your Highness 'Yi Province, the terrain is separated. In addition, the situation in Jing Province is complicated and there are many aristocratic families.”
With the doubt in his heart, Cao Zhengchun did not hide anything in front of Li Ke and directly spoke out his thoughts and doubts.
It was no wonder that he had such doubts. After all, anyone in the Great Tang would have the same reaction when they saw the news that Li Ke had sent his secret guards to search for.
He listed the names and sects that did not seem to be related to each other. He also had to collect the recent or past famous people and events in the martial arts world to prevent himself from missing anything.
Finally, there were martial arts techniques that sounded extraordinary.
If it wasn't for the respect and reverence he had for Li Ke, Cao Zhengchun would have guessed that His Highness was the reincarnation of a Di Immortal.
Yes, in his mind, there was only one answer from Li Ke's various actions. This also made him even more cautious.
…………
Li Ke was naturally unaware of Cao Zhengchun's thoughts. However, when he heard Cao Zhengchun's doubts, a bitter smile surfaced in his eyes.
That was because the people Cao Zhengchun mentioned existed.
Martial arts grandmaster, are you going to tell me that His Highness is after that eccentric daughter of his?
Assassin, find me an assassin named Yan Shisan. Give me a stack. You can name the price. No bargaining.
There was also that Jingzhou military governor, Wu Shi, who wanted to rope him in? His daughter was going to be the greatest emperor in history, alright?
Do you want His Highness to be a gigolo? Or become childhood sweethearts so that he could cling to someone in the future?
The highest level was a martial arts grandmaster! A mere assassin? To rope in the future empress's father? Oh my god, Old Cao, are you actually so outstanding? Even His Highness doesn't dare to think like this. It seems like I really didn't discover your strengths in the past!
………………
As he thought about this, he looked at Cao Zhengchun, who still had a puzzled expression on his face. Li Ke felt that it was better for him not to say this out loud.
"Your Highness?"
"Uh, cough, cough. It's fine."
However, seeing Cao Zhengchun's puzzled gaze, Li Ke explained.
"These are related to some plans for the future. You only need to know that the secret guards will gather information on them for me.”
"Yes, Your Highness."
Since Li Ke had said so, Cao Zhengchun put down the doubts in his heart. Before this, Cao Zhengchun had only considered his and Li Ke's current status, but now, it was obvious that His Highness had already made up his mind.
Therefore, since it wasn't what he had been worried about, Cao Zhengchun didn't ask any more questions. He only needed to do what His Highness had instructed him to do.
"Yes."
Seeing Cao Zhengchun no longer asking, Li Ke heaved a sigh of relief.
Moreover, looking at Cao Zhengchun's serious expression, Li Ke knew that he did not need to explain this matter. The secret guards would definitely do it according to his own ideas.
Now, unlike in the palace, even Cao Zhengchun could only protect him in the dark. At this moment, he had already been conferred the title of King of Shu and the position of Governor of Yizhou. He had developed his own power and did not need to hide anything like before.
Therefore, although the power of the secret guards had only just expanded, they had the foundation that had been laid in the Imperial Palace for more than ten years. In this short period of time, the power of the secret guards had already developed into a huge entity.
Just like the news that was gathered in front of Li Ke at this time, the Nine States and the martial arts world were far away. Some news did not even spread so quickly. For example, the news from the East Sea, Qingzhou was more than ten thousand miles away from Yizhou.
From these aspects, one could see the tip of the iceberg of the hidden guards who were like hidden dragons entering the sea.
The reason why Li Ke could sense all of this so clearly was because of the system's reminder.
The dark guard's power had developed and he had obtained a chance to draw a lottery!
This was definitely good news for Li Ke.
Moreover, he still had the rewards of being granted the title of King of Shu and Governor of Yizhou.
Now, this fantasy version of the Great Tang was completely different from what he had imagined, even beyond his expectations.
However, looking at his current foundation, the corners of Li Ke's mouth revealed a smile.
Once the dust is gone, light rises,
Shining through the mountains and rivers!
