That night, Ye Li took Qin Feng, Zhuo Jing, Lin Han, Xu Qingfeng, and three teams of Qi Lin to secretly leave the Mohist army's camp. They avoided the Western Hill and the Northern Tribes and took a boat from the east to Jiangnan. Along the way, the Mohist army's Shadow Guard continuously passed on information about Jiangnan to Ye Li. After knowing that Xu Qingchen was indeed not in Lei Zhenting's hands, Ye Li did not plan to provoke Lei Zhenting. She directly took a boat across the river and went ashore. They arrived at the Da Chu State under Mo Jingli's control. It was now called Southern Chu.
The new Chu capital was not big. It was called Nanjing. However, it was where Mo Jingli's manor was when he was Prince Li. After two years of governance, although the area was not big, it was much more prosperous. After all, the Da Chu State had a deep foundation. It could not be compared to the Northern Territory, which was like a castle in the sky. Ye Li had disguised herself as a man in white. Now that Ye Li was getting older, she was different from when she disguised herself as a slightly childish young man in white. Although she was still as pretty as before, she looked elegant and refined with an outstanding aura. Compared to the world's number one young master, Young Master Qingchen, she was not much worse.
Zhuo Jing, Lin Han, and the others were Ye Li's confidants. Naturally, they had seen many people and had also disguised themselves. There were more than a dozen people in the group. It looked like a family of subordinates following a noble young master on a trip. Although the Da Chu State was now in a remote corner, it was still a place where people gathered. Their group did not attract much attention when they entered the capital.
Wei Lin had arrived in Nanjing long before Ye Li and the others arrived. Although Nanjing was now under the control of Mo Jingli and the Boundless Mountain, it was inevitable that there would be many spies from the Prince Ding Mansion. Naturally, they had already prepared a suitable residence. Not far from the Prince Regent's Residence, there was a street full of rich and powerful people. The two words "Chu Residence" were hung on the plaque above the gate. The people nearby only knew that the Chu family was originally a prominent family in Yunzhou. Although it was not as famous as the Xu family, which had hundreds of years of history, it was still a scholarly family that had been passed down for several generations. This mansion was one of the other residences of the Chu family in Nanjing. In the past few days, when people saw people coming in and out, they naturally thought that the master of the Chu family had come to stay. Other than the nearby families sending people to deliver gifts, it didn't attract anyone's attention.
Ye Li and the others settled down in the Chu Mansion. Before they had time to rest, all kinds of information in Nanjing City were sent to the mansion. But what worried Ye Li was that it had nothing to do with Xu Qingchen. The only thing that was clear was that a few days ago, there were indeed people who saw a group of people mysteriously crossing the Cloud Mist River with a person. But whether that person was Young Master Qingchen or not, and where those people went, no one knew.
Looking at Ye Li's frowning appearance, Xu Qingfeng comforted her, "Big brother is lucky, it won't be so easy for something to happen. Li 'er, don't worry too much. "In fact, when something happened to Xu Qingchen, how could Xu Qingfeng not be worried as the younger brother? However, seeing how worried Ye Li was, he had no choice but to comfort her. He was also very guilty. As the elder brother, he should have shouldered such a thing. But he also understood that he was still somewhat lacking compared to Ye Li. He also couldn't bear to see Ye Li suffer so much and care about Xu Qingchen's situation.
Ye Li helplessly shook her head and said, "If it wasn't for us, if it wasn't for the Prince Ding Mansion, how could big brother have encountered such a thing?"
Xu Qingfeng nonchalantly shook his head and said, "The weather is unpredictable, and people are uncertain. Big brother's matter may not be because of the Prince Ding Mansion. Maybe someone who coveted big brother's beauty kidnapped him to be the husband of the fort. " Xu Qingchen said this to make Ye Li laugh, but it made Ye Li involuntarily think of when Xu Qingchen was kidnapped by Shu Manlin in Nanzhao. She couldn't help but smile and helplessly shake her head.
While smiling, Ye Li's heart suddenly moved, and she frowned slightly.
Xu Qingfeng saw her strange expression and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What did you think of? "
Ye Li frowned and said in a low voice, "Get someone to investigate what Dongfang You was doing a few days ago." Although Xu Qingfeng had only seen Dongfang You once at Mister Qingyun's banquet, he had long heard of this woman who dared to pester his big brother like this. He frowned and said, "You suspect that it was Dongfang You who did it? But … she is Mo Jingli's princess consort. How could Mo Jingli allow her to … "
"She is also the young master of the Infinite Boundless Mountain. Although the Infinite Boundless Mountain's power in the Western Hill and the north is almost completely destroyed, its power in Jiangnan is not. Moreover, with close to a hundred years of operation, its foundation is not weak. I'm afraid that even if she wanted to do something, Mo Jingli may not know. "Ye Li said slowly. Originally, Ye Li did not suspect Dongfang You. Dongfang You's personality did not seem like someone who would do such a thing. But she neglected the fact that Dongfang You was a woman. After experiencing Xu Qingchen's rejection and being forced to marry Mo Jingli, it was hard to say whether Dongfang You's personality would change. And Dongfang You herself was a disciple of the Infinite Boundless Mountain's Fang Hui. Even Fang Hui had personally admitted that Dongfang You's intelligence was above hers. Once Dongfang You's personality changed, and she was no longer as ignorant of the ways of the world as before, she would become someone even more terrifying than Fang Hui.
Speaking of Dongfang You, Wei Lin frowned and said, "Dongfang You betrayed Dongfang Hui."
Hearing this, everyone immediately turned their gazes to Wei Lin. Wei Lin had followed Xu Qingchen to the south this time, and had always been by her side. The matter of dealing with the Infinite Boundless Mountain this time was also handled by Xu Qingchen. Ye Li and the others did not know the details. Hearing Wei Lin's words, they were shocked. Dongfang Hui had nurtured and taught Dongfang You. Even Dongfang Hui herself probably did not think that Dongfang You would betray her.
Wei Lin said, "After the Infinite Boundless Mountain was broken through, Dongfang Hui originally had a chance to escape back to Jiangnan. But we knew beforehand that the Infinite Boundless Mountain had a few reinforcements at the Cloud Water River, and just happened to capture Dongfang Hui. Although the person who sent the letter to us did not appear, Young Master Qingchen said that there was an eighty percent chance that it was Dongfang You. "
"I really did not think that Lady Dongfang would actually die at the hands of her most beloved disciple." After hearing Wei Lin's explanation, Ye Li could not help but sigh. Other than forcing Dongfang You to marry Xu Qingchen, Ye Li did not have much ill feelings towards Dongfang Hui. After all, a woman who could single-handedly support the entire Infinite Boundless Mountain was definitely outstanding in some ways. Compared to dying at the hands of her most trusted and beloved disciple, Dongfang Hui would probably rather die at the hands of Xu Qingchen and Lei Tengfeng.
"This means that Dongfang You is extremely likely to have already grasped control of the remaining powers of the Infinite Boundless Mountain. Then, the possibility of Big Brother being in her hands is also much greater. "Ye Li said in a low voice. Qin Feng asked rather suspiciously, "With Dongfang You's appearance, would she be able to do such a thing?" In Qin Feng's eyes, Dongfang You was completely a love-struck fool.
Ye Li shook her head, saying, "Dongfang You's martial arts are above yours and mine. It is said that her medical skills are also not bad, and she is even proficient in the four arts of zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, strategy and military strategy. How can a woman who can learn so much be an idiot? It depends on whether she is enlightened or not. When she is not enlightened, she is just an idiot in the eyes of others. Once she understands everything … she is the most terrifying person. Dongfang Hui would probably never understand why Dongfang You wanted to kill her. "
