– Ye Family's Courtyard –
Elder Ye was practicing Tai Chi, and under the Tree of Shame, Ye Xiu was in a daze. He still hadn't digested the news of Xu Cheng's death.
He went to see the tombstone and was very angry.
He shouted at his grandpa, "Why didn't Brother Cheng bury him in the tombstone?"
"According to his request, he wanted to reunite with his family. It's not like you don't know that Xu Cheng lived half his life for his father, so he just wanted to be with his family after he died."
"He died just like that, and you five grandpas are so calm?" Ye Xiu was very angry at his grandpa.
Old Man Ye rolled his eyes at him and scolded, "Are you telling me that I'm a bag of bones? I'm already so old, and I'm going to die even earlier. "
The key was that Xu Cheng didn't die, and he was a dignified old man who had been in the military all his life.
Ye Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "I want to retire from the military!"
Elder Ye's eyelids twitched. "Where are you going?"
Ye Xiu: "To avenge my Brother Cheng. He died abroad, so it's the same as our countrymen dying abroad. If I don't get revenge, what kind of brother am I?"
Elder Ye snorted. "Xu Cheng can still be killed with his strength, what can you do even if you go? You're not even enough for them to kill you. Behave yourself, everything has to be done according to procedure. "
Ye Xiu immediately slammed the table and stood up. "I can't feel at ease if I stay here like this. Go and see how Auntie Lan cries in front of Brother Cheng's mother's grave every day. I feel like everyone is abnormal except for Auntie Lan. I'll admit it if you talk to me in China, but he died abroad. If we can even tolerate this, then we're not just losing our own face, we're also losing the face of our country! "
Elder Ye: "Then go scold your dad, why are you venting your anger on an old man like me? Your dad's in charge, you go talk to him. "
Ye Xiu directly turned around and really planned to do that.
But just as he turned around, the courtyard door opened. Ye Pei got out of the car and walked in. Seeing Ye Xiu's angry look, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Xiu: "I want to go abroad."
"Nonsense." Ye Pei glared at him. "Xu Cheng's death is already a foregone conclusion. You don't even know what's going on. What can you do when you go out? A trip? You are the only son of the Ye Family. What do you expect the Ye Family to do if something happens outside? "
Ye Xiu said, "Why don't you have another one with my mom?"
"I'll kill you with one slap. Go back to where you came from." Ye Pei raised his hand and prepared to slap him.
However, he didn't attack. He knew that Ye Xiu was just acting on impulse. After pretending to attack to scare him, he walked past Ye Xiu and entered the east wing.
Ye Xiu wanted to say a few more words to him, but he saw that someone had stuck a piece of paper on his father's back.
"Dad, what's this?" Ye Xiu took a piece of paper from his back.
Ye Pei turned his head and was a little surprised that someone had stuck a piece of paper on his back.
He looked at it and frowned as he read the three words on it, "Azure Dragon, Horned Wood Dragon?"
Old Master Ye, who was practicing Tai Chi, suddenly raised his head. His pupils shrank slightly as he turned around and snatched the paper from Ye Pei's hand.
When he saw the pattern, his expression changed drastically.
"Son, do you know when this piece of paper was stuck on your back? Who put it on you? "
Ye Pei shook his head, "I wouldn't know if Little Xiu didn't notice. I've been in the office all day and didn't go anywhere. After work, I went straight home."
"Then you didn't notice anyone approaching you?" Old Master Ye asked.
Ye Pei laughed, "You know that I have guards around me. How can an ordinary person get close to me?"
"But this person isn't an ordinary person!" Old Master Ye narrowed his eyes as he held the paper.
"Dad, what does this piece of paper represent?" Ye Pei asked.
"This piece of paper is aimed at me." Old Master Ye had a serious expression on his face. He turned around and ran into the living room to call his other four old friends.
When he called Old Master Zhou, the other side of the phone said in a panic, "Brother Ye, I was just about to call you. They're back!"
Old Master Ye narrowed his eyes, "I received it too. What did you receive?"
Old Master Zhou, "Black Tortoise and Wood Dragon!"
Old Master Ye, "The boss of the Black Tortoise Group! I received the boss of the Azure Dragon Group. I didn't expect them to still be alive. It seems like I guessed correctly 16 years ago when I went abroad to investigate. "
Old Master Zhou agreed, "Back then, 18 of the 28 Lunar Mansions of the imperial guards died. Only 10 went missing. I didn't expect them to still be alive."
At this moment, a Hongqi car arrived outside the Ye family's courtyard. Old Master Nie hurriedly ran inside the car and looked around for Old Master Ye. He rushed into the living room and waited for Old Master Ye to hang up the phone before handing him a piece of paper. He said with a serious expression, "Look, I received this today."
Old Master Ye looked at the picture and words on the paper: Suzaku Well Wood Dragon!
He handed his paper to Old Master Nie. "I received it too. Old Zhou received it too. My son Pei was in such a heavily guarded place, but they still had the ability to stick behind his back. It's obvious that these people are unfathomable!"
Old Master Nie frowned. "Call Old Guo and Old Xing."
The night passed.
The five old men gathered at the Dragon Group's headquarters and didn't sleep for the whole night.
Little Ghost held the three blueprints with a serious expression.
At this moment, Old Master Ye said with relief, "Good thing there are only three of them left."
Little Ghost didn't let his guard down at all. He said, "Chiefs, I'm afraid it's not that simple. With your current strength, you really can't beat any one of them. Only the Dragon King and I know how powerful these old guys are. They were able to train R-level masters, which is enough to prove that their own strength is above R-level! The reason why Xu Cheng became like this was because of an old man. If the three of them want to force their way into Purple Chaste City, it would be really hard to stop them. "
Old Master Zhou said, "Since they can notify us in advance, it means they are confident that we won't alert them. Could it be that they have conditions to discuss with us?"
Little Ghost: "Whether or not they do, the five of you can't take the risk."
Old Master Ye sighed. "Some grudges can't be avoided. This time, they are most likely here for the five of us."
He paced around with his hands behind his back and said, "Since the establishment of the H Gate, their purpose has been to fight against the Qing Dynasty. To them, we are lifelong enemies. Later, we won, and anyone who supports the Qing Dynasty will be killed. They know that if the eunuchs accept the new era's reforms, then these weirdos won't be accepted by this era. In fact, what they are protecting is not the royal power, but the interests of the eunuchs. The feudalism cannot fall, or else they will have nowhere to go. But in order to overthrow it, we must kill them! So, this grudge is very deep! "
Little Ghost sighed. "So, they would rather help the tyrants and work for the capitalists than go back to China?"
Old Master Ye nodded. "You can say that."
