Ji Province happened to be Wang Fen's territory. Yang Ye was familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms and knew the whole story of the plot to overthrow Emperor Ling.
According to the normal plot, Wang Fen contacted Cao Cao, Hua Xin, and the others to help but failed. Taking advantage of the time when Emperor Ling was patrolling the north, Wang Fen falsely claimed that the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, the Black Mountain Army, had attacked the county and raised the army to suppress them. Who would have thought that Emperor Ling would listen to the advice of the Imperial Historian and cancel the trip to the north. He ordered Wang Fen to withdraw the army and his position as the Provincial Governor was revoked.
Yang Ye had been paying attention to Wang Fen for a long time and was preparing to use this plot to gain benefits. He wanted to raise his family's influence to Ji Province and seize the advisor group of Yuan Shao, the future overlord of Hebei. However, the news of Emperor Ling's northern patrol and the meeting in Ye City gave him a bad premonition.
The plot changed again. The plot of Wang Fen's plot to overthrow Emperor Ling might not be just a farce of a scholar's rebellion. It might become the beginning of the weakening of the Great Han Dynasty. It might completely reveal the prelude to the fragmentation of the feudal vassals.
Yang Ye was about to speak when a black raven suddenly flew over and gently landed on Diao Chan's jade-like palm.
Diao Chan gently untied the thread on the raven's foot and took out a letter. After reading it, she said, "Sir Youzhou, this is a letter from Madam Wei Na Si. She said that she found clues about the hidden mission of the Bronze Sparrow Terrace in Ye City in Ji Province and wants me to help her as soon as possible to complete the War God promotion mission."
"The hidden mission of the Bronze Sparrow Terrace?" Yang Ye was shocked when he heard the news. "Isn't the Bronze Sparrow Terrace only built after Cao Cao pacified Hebei and defeated Yuan Shao? The chaos of the Three Kingdoms hasn't started yet. How can there be a Bronze Sparrow Terrace?"
Diao Chan nodded lightly. "Master has a similar view. However, she has the information from the Creation Hall. She has to believe it. Moreover, this is a serious matter. No matter what, she has to try. Sir Youzhou, since the battle here is over, I would like to take a leave and go to Ji Province to help master. "
Yang Ye declined to comment. He turned his head and asked Ling Kuang, "Danyao, what do you think?"
After Ling Kuang arrived at Youzhou, other than Chen Liqing, Galadriel and other old comrades, he only had a good relationship with this Awakened Little Diao Chan. Naturally, he was unwilling to stand by and do nothing. He immediately advised, "Yang Ye, the situation at Ji Province is unclear. Since you are going to meet the genius Guo Fengxiao, why don't we accompany Little Sister Diao Chan to help Madam Venus complete her mission?"
Yang Ye nodded and said, "Alright! Danyao, I'll do whatever you say. In any case, I've already come out. I'll listen to your arrangements. "
Diao Chan was overjoyed when she heard this. She clapped and smiled sweetly, "This is great. If Yang Youzhou and Elder Sister Danyao are willing to help, Master will definitely be able to successfully advance to the Battle God Realm."
After the discussion, Yang Ye summoned the immortal beast Red Hare from the Gourd of Good Fortune and let Ling Kuang and Diao Chan ride on it. He then used his innate ability as a Void-breaking Realm expert to fly with the wind.
Nothing was said along the way. After a few days, Yang Ye and the other two quietly arrived at the first county of Ji Province — Ye City.
Ye City was a gathering place for birds and phoenixes. It was filled with the aura of an emperor. In the future, it would become the ancient capital of the six dynasties. It would leave a deep mark in the five thousand years of history of China.
Yang Ye was handsome, while Ling Kuang and Diao Chan were both stunning beauties. They were the type of people who walked in the crowd to attract the attention of others. It was difficult for them to adapt to the low-key style of this trip to Ye City. After all, according to the investigation, Wang Fen and the nobles of Ji Province were full of enmity towards Yang Ye. They were not friendly and already had thoughts of framing him.
In view of this, Yang Ye used the Nine Revolutions Origin Technique to transform his and the two beauties' appearances into ordinary ones. The three of them turned into passers-by and walked in the crowd like grains in the sea.
To beauties, their looks were more important than their lives. Their image was more important than their health. Diao Chan was fine as she only had the mentality of a little girl. However, Ling Kuang was a woman from Earth. Yang Ye knew what was good for him. How could he let a beauty suffer? He had to find another way to make it up to her.
Food and lust were human nature. If he were to suffer, he could only make a fuss about food. Since Yang Ye could not protect his girlfriend's face, he could only comfort her stomach.
The Round Turtle Transformation was triggered. Yang Ye carefully deduced and instantly found the place with the most delicious food in the entire Ye City — the Treasured Moon Restaurant.
The owner of the Treasured Moon Restaurant was originally an imperial chef. He was liked by Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling. Due to his old age and retirement, he opened this restaurant in Ye City. It was a chain of food and lodging. With his godly culinary skills and comfortable management, his reputation spread far and wide. Soon, customers came in like clouds and he made a lot of money.
Based on the recommendation of the Confucian aristocratic family, Wang Fen, the provincial governor of Jizhou, chose the Baoyue Tavern as the venue for the debate. This attracted even more guests from all over the world, especially those who wanted to show off their skills at the debate.
However, when Yang Ye led the two ladies to the entrance of the Treasured Moon Restaurant, they were rejected and given cold faces before they could enjoy the delicacies.
"Dear guests, our restaurant has been booked by a noble today. Only those with an invitation letter can enter. Idle guests are not welcome."
A stocky waiter with arms crossed in front of his chest blocked the entrance and shouted with a cold face.
Yang Ye was embarrassed. It was rare for him to bring beauties out to eat delicacies, but in the end, he was met with such humiliation. With his status, he naturally could not be bothered to argue with an ant like this. He took out two ingots and stuffed them into the waiter's hands.
He said, "Young man, my two sisters and I have come from afar just to try the famous dishes of the Treasured Moon Restaurant. Please make things easy for us. We will be very grateful."
The waiter seemed to have never seen such a big ingot before. Greed flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly calmed down and stuffed the ingot back. He said firmly, word by word,
"Dear guests, I'm sorry. I can't let you in. The boss has specially instructed that as long as you don't have an invitation letter, the restaurant will refuse to operate. I don't want your ingots! "
The unlucky Yang Ye was hit in the face by the ingot and was still refused entry by the waiter. As the Governor of Youzhou, a Void-breaking Martial Artist and a Peak Earth Immortal of the Nascent Soul Stage who had survived three Heavenly Tribulations, he had never been humiliated in such a humiliating way.
Diao Chan's face was cold and her delicate body trembled. She was extremely resentful. However, Ling Kuang smiled sweetly as if she had seen the most interesting thing in the world. She stretched out her hand to stop Diao Chan from going berserk and leisurely watched how Yang Ye would solve the problem.
With Yang Ye's ability, as long as he was willing, he had at least a hundred different ways to deal with this ignorant waiter.
However, just as Yang Ye was about to deal with him, the sound of hooves and wheels came from outside. A carriage stopped outside the restaurant. Two well-dressed Confucian scholars walked out of the carriage. They were both in their thirties or forties and looked similar. It seemed that they were a pair of brothers.
Seeing the Confucian brothers, the waiter's expression changed greatly. He immediately opened the front door and greeted them with a smile, "Welcome, Mr. Xin. There's no need for an invitation letter. Please come in."
The older Confucian scholar took an invitation letter and handed it to the waiter, saying, "Wait. Since it's a rule set by me, my brother won't dare to disobey it. This is an invitation letter. Please keep it well."
Yang Ye was secretly watching them. He pinched his fingers and calculated. The spirit of the Round Turtle appeared. He immediately calculated the identities of the brothers. They were both disciples of the Xin family, the number one aristocratic family in Ji Zhou City. The elder brother was called Xin Ping and the younger brother was called Xin Pi.
"So it's these two. So the boss behind the scenes who booked the restaurant today should be that famous landowning family big shot." Yang Ye understood the cause and effect and instantly found a way to solve the problem. After the Xin brothers entered, he called the beauties and went to the front door of the Treasured Moon Tower.
The waiter asked in surprise, "Dear guests, why haven't you given up yet? We don't have individual customers today. "
"But we're not individual customers." Yang Ye smiled faintly and took out three letters from his chest like magic. He handed them to the waiter, saying, "Look, are these invitation letters? We're also Lord Yuan's guests."
The waiter looked at them carefully for a long time and didn't see any problems. They were genuine invitation letters. He immediately stepped aside and bowed, saying, "Please come in, dear guests."
The Treasured Moon Tower had three courts and four courtyards. It took up more than ten acres of land and was decorated extravagantly. The main hall on the third floor was the core. It was a restaurant, especially the patio on the top floor. The environment was the most elegant. From above, one could overlook the majestic scenery of Ye City.
Yang Ye had the ability to listen to everything. He glanced at the situation on the top floor from the corner of his eye. The room was full of distinguished guests. They were all scholars, chatting and laughing. The scene of academic exchanges was abnormally intense.
"Danyao, Miss Diao Chan, let's not go up to the third floor. It's too noisy there. Let's eat on the second floor, okay?"
Ling Kuang smiled, saying, "I have no objections. What do you think, Sister Chan?"
Diao Chan said, "If sister says it's okay, then it's okay." Suddenly, she stuck out her tongue and showed a playful attitude that didn't match her age, saying, "Brother Yang, you can't be stingy. We want to eat the best and most expensive dishes in this restaurant."
Yang Ye said, "No problem. Just order whatever is good. I've long heard that the Treasured Moon Tower's food is unparalleled in the world. I want to experience it."
While speaking, Yang Ye took out some gold and called the waiter over. He ordered the waiter to serve the most famous dishes of the Treasured Moon Tower, regardless of the price.
Not long after, good wine and delicacies were served. The Treasured Moon House indeed lived up to its reputation. The food here looked, smelled, and tasted perfect. Yang Ye, Ling Kuang, and Diao Chan were all eating happily. Diao Chan tasted the wine and her face turned red. She almost ruined the disguise of the Nine Transformations Origin Skill.
At this moment, Yang Ye's All-Seeing Ear suddenly twitched. There was a voice on the third floor's patio that suddenly rushed in.
"Brother Zhengnan, you're wrong. Yang Ye is a remnant of the Yellow Turban. He relied on bribing traitors and buying officials to get to his position. How can such a villain be called a hero?"
Yang Ye heard the voice and recognized that the speaker was Xin Ping, whom he had seen at the entrance of the Treasured Moon Tower. He seemed to be debating with others about who was the current hero.
Sitting opposite Xin Ping was a Confucian scholar with starry eyes and sword-like eyebrows. He had a medium build and three strands of beard. His eyes were deep and unfathomable like the sea.
He calmly said, "Mr. Zhongzhi, heroes don't need to be born lowly. Even poverty can produce heroes. Wu Qi killed his wife in order to be a general. Han Xin was humiliated. Even General Wei was once a servant of Princess Ping Yang when he was young. Although Yang Ye was born into a lowly family and once went astray, but after he was recruited by the imperial court to guard the border, he won successive battles at White Wolf Mountain, Shimen, Guancheng, and Yuyang. He defeated Xianbei and Wuhuan, suppressed Zhang Ju, and conquered the northern lands. The common people revered him as the Buddha of ten thousand families. Even though Liangzhou's Three Clears could not compare with him, how could he not be called a hero? "
Ling Kuang was very attentive. She noticed that Yang Ye was distracted. She also had super hearing, so she heard what Yang Ye said to defend Yang Ye. She immediately smiled and said, "I didn't expect Brother Zhengnan to think so highly of you."
Yang Ye smiled and nodded. "I'm really surprised. I didn't expect him to be the first one to speak for me among the scholars of Jizhou …"
At the same time, Xin Ping snorted and said sarcastically, "If what Brother Shen said is true, then Dong Zhuo of Hedong, Liu Yan of Shu, Sun Ce of Changsha … these vulgar warriors are all heroes of the Great Han Dynasty?"
Shen Zhengnan shook his head, "No," he said, "A hero must be loyal to the Great Han Dynasty to protect the border and the people. Moreover, he must have a benevolent heart and profound virtue. A thug like Dong Zhuo can be considered a hero. Xin Xiong, don't dirty my ears. Apart from that, we scholars should have the heart to serve our country. We should pay attention to knowledge and practice. If we only know how to talk, then we are the insects that Han Feizi mentioned. "
