After the meal, Ming Xi and the others left the restaurant. They didn't immediately return to the inn. Instead, they walked and stopped in the Wasteland City, as if everything they saw was very fresh. They also bought four good-looking horses in the market.
"How long are the two people following us?" Fire Phoenix led the horses. Although she didn't look back, she knew that they were being followed since they left the restaurant.
"Are they related to Teng Ye?" Xu Jinbei followed Ming Xi as if nothing had happened, pretending that he didn't notice that they were being followed.
Fire Phoenix said, "Didn't Teng Ye just get banished to the Wasteland? To be able to set up so many spies in the Wasteland so quickly, I think it's not just the Thousand Floor Tower that has a problem. There are many people and places that have problems in the Wasteland. "
Along the way, they saw many people who didn't look like ordinary people besides the common people who lived here.
"That proves that Teng Ye has been to the Wasteland before." Ming Xi said lightly, "I remember that Sixth Uncle had exiled him. He should have stayed in the Wasteland for a few years."
If he didn't guess wrong, maybe after Qian Luosha was disbanded by Sixth Uncle, those who weren't willing to give up would secretly gather together to stop another Qian Luosha.
"Then what should we do now?" Xu Jinbei asked in a low voice, completely listening to Ming Xi's arrangements.
"Pretend that they don't exist and do what we should do," Ming Xi said lightly. After walking a few steps, he asked Xu Jinbei, "The biggest aristocratic family in Jiangnan … I think it's the Fang Family in Qinghe City?"
Xu Jinbei nodded lightly, "Qinghe City's Fang Family is a big family. Every generation has many talents. The Fang Family has opened an academy in Qinghe City for more than a hundred years. Their students come from all over the world. However, except for the old master of the Fang Family, who became a cabinet minister during the reign of the former emperor, none of the descendants of the Fang Family became officials. They have been teaching at home. Oh, I heard that the old master of the Fang Family likes his grandson very much. He takes care of him personally. The entire Fang Family knows that the young master of the Fang Family is the future patriarch. That young master of the Fang Family is very young, about the same age as you.
"I've heard of the Fang Family. The Old Master of the Fang Family was known for his incorruptibility. He lived a simple life and was upright and upright. If he hadn't retreated when the former Emperor was still in his prime, he would have resigned and returned home to set up the Academy. The Fang Family might not have existed today. The Fang Family is an invisible noble family," Ming Xi said. When he was in the palace, Huang Fuchen had told him about the Fang Family.
"Could it be that Teng Ye went to the Fang Family?" Xu Jinbei asked with a frown.
Ming Xi's eyes darkened. If Teng Ye went to the Fang Family, then this matter was much more complicated than he had imagined.
With Teng Ye's strength alone, he definitely did not have the ability to meet the head of the Fang Family unless there was someone even more powerful behind him.
"Let's go to the garrison house tonight." Ming Xi said, "Let's go, it's getting late. Let's go back."
"What about the two behind us?" Fire Phoenix asked in a low voice, "Should we get rid of them?"
Ming Xi's eyes flashed with ridicule, "Let them follow."
The four returned to the inn. After entering the room, there was no movement. The two people following them had been guarding the door the entire time.
When Ming Xi returned to the room, he took off the brocade coat on his body and put on his normal clothes. He immediately felt much more relaxed.
"Those two are still guarding the door, how do we leave?" Xu Jinbei asked in a low voice.
"Not us, it's me and Ming Xi. You stay here." Fire Phoenix said with a smile, "It's not good for us to leave with you."
Xu Jinbei was stunned, "Then how will you leave?"
Ming Xi explained, "If you stay here, they won't find you. If too many people go, they will find out."
"Okay." Xu Jinbei did not hesitate. He knew that Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix's martial arts were above his.
Shang Er wanted to go with them, but Ming Xi told her to stay here in case something happened and Xu Jinbei couldn't handle it alone.
After Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix left the inn, they quickly arrived at the garrison house. They quietly went up to the roof and looked at the entire garrison house.
"The garrison house is actually so big." Ming Xi raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Teng Ye was living quite well in the wasteland.
"Look." Fire Phoenix pointed at the two men who came in from the corner door.
Ming Xi said, "Follow them."
… …
… …
In the garrison house, Teng Ye was only wearing a casual robe as he met Lu Yuan and the others in the study.
"… Thousand Floor Tower has a youth who looks like he comes from a famous family. Do you think it's Fang Yanjun?" Teng Ye's gaze was cold and sinister. He was a bit unhappy that Lu Yuan and the others had come to find him in such a hurry.
He was just a child, yet he made them so excited.
"Branch Leader, you didn't see that youth. He's really noble. One look and you can tell that he comes from a famous family. The wasteland is far away from the border. Which young master would come here to play? It's not a coincidence that the young master suddenly appeared," Tang Deren said.
"There are many people who swindle people. The two of you are experienced in the martial arts world. You acted on your own without investigating." Teng Ye looked at them coldly.
Tang Deren said, "I sent people to follow them because I wanted to investigate. Don't worry, it's just a few youths and a maid. They won't find out."
"If it's really Fang Yanjun, he will come looking for us. Don't worry, let him walk around the city," Teng Ye said and stared at Lu Yuan. "Didn't I tell you not to go to the Thousand Floor Tower if there's nothing important?"
Lu Yuan touched the tip of his nose. "I just happened to pass by and went to have a meal."
Tang Deren asked in a low voice, "Did you see Fang Songyun when you went to the Fang Family?"
"I didn't see him." Teng Ye frowned. "I'm afraid he won't come."
"If the Fang Family could be persuaded so easily, they wouldn't have the reputation they have today." Tang Deren said, "However, I feel that even if Fang Songyun doesn't have ambition, his son definitely does. Even if his son doesn't, what about his grandson?"
Teng Ye lightly knocked on the table. Fang Songyun was very strict with his three sons, but he didn't let them become officials. He only let them stay in the academy as lecturers. However, the education he gave his great-grandchildren was different.
"Let's not care about what Fang Songyun is thinking. If he really wants to, he will come looking for us. If he doesn't, it's useless for us to look for him," Teng Ye said calmly.
Tang Deren said, "Recently, there have been many natural disasters. Maybe it's our chance."
"Is there any news from the capital?" Teng Ye asked.
"Not yet," Tang Deren said.
Teng Ye nodded slightly. "There's no hurry. Let's wait."
"We can wait. I'm just afraid … they don't want to wait," Tang Deren said.
"I'll tell them," Teng Ye said coldly.
Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix, who were on the roof, looked at each other. Just like how they came, they jumped off the roof and quickly disappeared into the night.
