"It's over! It's over! Why hasn't the monk returned after such a long time? Could he have been discovered by the Provincial Governor's Residence? "
In the backyard of the Ye residence, Li Yu paced back and forth anxiously. Seeing that it was already nine in the evening and Ye Fashan still hadn't returned, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart!
"Wait a little longer! Wait a little longer! The monk will be fine! "
Ye Minglei was also not asleep. He was also waiting in the backyard for Ye Fashan's return.
"Oh! Miss Li Yu, you said that the Duke of Yong 'an and Shan Shan are cousins. Is that true? "
Ye Fashan was anxious but when he thought of what Li Yu said to him after Ye Fashan left, he could not help but feel shocked.
Last year, Ye Guozhong had brought his family to Beijing to acknowledge their relatives. Although Ye Huiming had returned to Nanyang from Chang 'an before the New Year, the result of the acknowledgment in Beijing had never been spread. As a distant cousin of the Ye Family in Guan City, he naturally didn't know that Li Zexuan's birth mother was the daughter of the Ye Family back then!
Now that he knew this news, Ye Minglei felt a burst of joy even though he was in a desperate situation. Because if this was the case, Li Zexuan would have to call him 'Second Uncle' when he came over.
Who in the world did not know that Li Zexuan was the most powerful and influential person in the Empire? His future was limitless, but now he had inexplicably become Li Zexuan's Second Uncle. This was truly a miraculous situation in life!
"Of course it's true! Aiya! Uncle Ye, why are you saying this now? Why don't you send someone out to investigate? If the monk is discovered by the Provincial Governor's Residence's guards, it will be bad! "
Little Yu 'er stomped her feet and said unhappily.
Ye Minglei's face turned red. He knew that this was not the time to think about this but he could not help but think about it.
"Now that all the shops are closed and there are soldiers patrolling the streets, even if we want to send someone out to investigate, we will have to wait until dawn!"
Ye Minglei looked outside the house and said worriedly.
"Dawn? By the time dawn comes, it will be too late! If the monk is really caught by the guards, Provincial Governor Pan will not let him go! Sigh! If we knew this would happen, we wouldn't have let him go out. Let's think about it. I'm sure we can think of another way! "
Fishy sighed faintly.
At this moment, she couldn't help but think, 'If only Mister was here. The Cui Family, the Provincial Governor's Mansion, as long as Mister is here, they will all turn into ashes!'
That's right, in her heart, Li Zexuan was omnipotent! Be it civil or martial!
"Miss Li Yu, I'll send a messenger pigeon to the Southern Sun Ancestral Mansion tomorrow morning. I believe that once my big brother receives the news, he'll definitely think of a way! If it doesn't work, he can ask the Marquis of Yong 'an to ask the Emperor to send troops to conquer Zhengzhou! "
After pondering for a while, Ye Minglei said.
Li Yu was shocked, "Uncle Ye, you're still sending pigeons to Nanyang?"
Although messenger pigeons were a very awesome ancient technology, if one wanted to use pigeons to send a letter to another party, the carrier pigeon's hometown had to be on the other side as well! The ancients made use of the pigeons' "homing" ability — they could return home no matter where they were — to achieve messenger pigeons between two places.
The reason why pigeons could identify directions and find their nest was that they were very sensitive to the earth's magnetic field, as if they had a compass in their bodies!
"Of course! Every branch of the Ye Family has messenger pigeons with the Southern Sun Ancestral Mansion so that if one side is in trouble, the Southern Sun Ancestral Mansion can help as soon as possible! "
Ye Minglei smiled and nodded.
"Oh!"
Li Yu nodded thoughtfully, then shook her head and said, "No, no! If there's a sharpshooter at the city gate who shoots down the carrier pigeon, then we'll all be exposed! Uncle Ye, this plan will not work! But don't worry, as long as the monk can come back safely tonight, I have a way to send the news back to the capital. Once Mister knows about the changes in Zhengzhou, he'll definitely think of a way! "
Ye Minglei thought about it and agreed. Seeing how confident Fishy was, he could only nod and say, "Alright then! I'll listen to your arrangements! "
…
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Guancheng County was not peaceful in the middle of the night. At this time, two shadows, one tall and one short, were running quickly in the city.
Ye Fashan poured all his internal strength into his legs and ran at full speed. He had no intention of fighting with Chi Li, who was behind him. The difference in strength between the two was too great. If it were not for the Ye Family's exquisite body movement technique, he would have been captured by now!
He did not dare to run directly to the Ye Mansion in the west of the city, as that would expose Ye Minglei and Li Yu. At this moment, he could only lead Chi Li around the city. In a short while, he had already run to the south of the city!
Fortunately, he had been to Guancheng County many times when he was young. Otherwise, he would probably be lost by now!
"Hey! Kid! I didn't expect your body movement technique to be so interesting. Now I've changed my mind. If you can teach me your body movement technique, maybe I'll spare your life! "
Chi Li, who had been following Ye Fashan at a leisurely pace about five feet behind him, now laughed sinisterly.
Obviously, he had not used his full strength. It was like a cat chasing a mouse!
"Dream on!"
Ye Fashan gritted his teeth and said in exasperation.
For a moment, he did not want to run anymore. After all, anyone who was played like a mouse would be angry! But he knew that he could not stop, because if he did, his second uncle's family and Li Yu would all die!
"Hey! Since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then don't blame me for being rude! Five Elements Ghostly Steps! "
Chi Li sneered, and then the True Qi in his body burst out. His whole body flashed, and in an instant, he was behind Ye Fashan. As he ran, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and stabbed at Ye Fashan's back!
Cold!
At this moment, Ye Fashan felt a bone-piercing chill. It was the threat of death. Dodge!
Ye Fashan, who was running at high speed, forcibly changed his direction, and Chi Li's sword missed!
"Lord Ye, you are a dragon!"
Ye Fashan gritted his teeth, and all the remaining True Qi in his body burst out in an instant on his legs. His whole body dragged a row of afterimages in the air, and in an instant, he was ten feet away from Chi Li!
"Hey! I've really underestimated you! "
Chi Li looked surprised, and then hurriedly used the Five Elements Ghostly Steps to chase in the direction Ye Fashan was heading!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, two air-piercing sounds came from the air. Chi Li, who had sharp ears, of course heard it. He looked up and saw two black objects coming toward him!
Hidden weapons! Someone was sneaking up on him!
This was Chi Li's first reaction. So he waved his sword, and the two black objects were split into four halves. Just as he was about to look at the person who had sneaked up on him, he suddenly felt a burning pain in his eyes, and he could not help but sneeze violently!
"Hey! Using a sword to chop lime and mustard powder, this guy is really stupid! "
On a rooftop by the street, a man in black couldn't help but laugh. Then, he ignored Chi Li and chased in the direction Ye Fashan had escaped!
