Chapter 489

Ye Xiao 'an returned to the alley and stopped. He looked at his clothes and rubbed his cheeks and neck. In fact, there were no lipstick marks or rouge on his face, but he was afraid that his wife would notice if he left a trace of his feminine scent. After a careful inspection and confirming that there were no problems, he stepped into the alley.

"Eh? Who's so diligent to sweep away the snow? No wonder it's easy to walk. " As Ye Xiao 'an was thinking, he suddenly noticed that there was a person standing on the left and right side of the road every five steps. The person had a saber under his ribs and was as solemn as a mountain. Their bodies were covered with a thick layer of snow, but they didn't move at all.

Ye Xiao 'an shrunk his neck and carefully walked forward. The more he walked, the more afraid he became. When he reached the door of his house, he saw eight tall and strong warriors standing at the intersection with their sabers. They looked solemn and fierce. He was so scared that he didn't dare to take another step.

In fact, the warriors had already seen him. When they saw that he looked exactly like their master, they knew that he was the brother that their master had mentioned. However, Ye Xiao 'an didn't know them, so he didn't want to greet them. Seeing that he was hesitating and didn't even dare to go back to his house, the guards couldn't help but laugh.

One of them wanted to greet him and explain the situation. Suddenly, a bald head popped out from the courtyard. Uncle Bear waved at Ye Xiao 'an excitedly, "Xiao' an, Xiao 'an, you're back?"

Ye Xiao 'an saw Uncle Bear and quickly ran over. He said anxiously, "Uncle Bear, my house … What happened to my house?"

Xiong Wei said, "Don't be afraid! Haha, your second brother is back. Do you know that your second brother is doing well now? That style, that prestige! Oh my, I can't even describe it! Do you see those people? They are all your second brother's men. And there are so many carriages. Do you see the big and small bags? They are all things that were brought back to your house. Your Ye family is going to be famous now. "

"My brother is back?" Ye Xiao 'an was overjoyed. He quickly said to Uncle Bear, "Uncle, let's talk later. I'll go see my brother first!"

Ye Xiao 'an couldn't help but rush to the entrance of his alley. Although he knew that those strong, tiger-eyed, and scary warriors were his second brother's men, he was still a little scared when he reached the entrance. Ye Xiao' an nodded politely at them and slipped away.

…

In Li Guojiu's mansion, Li Guojiu was hugging a Persian golden velvet blanket, lazily sitting next to a small red clay oven. From the hot water, he picked up a small blue and white wine pot from the Yongle period. He tilted it slightly, and the wine dripped down into the cup in front of him. Putting down the wine pot, he made a gesture of inviting the guests to drink.

Xu Boyi, who was sitting on the chair with his buttocks down, hurriedly stepped forward and held the cup in his hands. He said attentively, "Thank you for the wine, Imperial Uncle!"

Xu Boyi took a small sip and focused his attention on Li Guojiu.

Li Xuancheng said slowly, "Just now, Ye Xiaotian returned to the capital!"

Xu Boyi's body trembled as he looked at Li Xuancheng. Li Xuancheng stared at the red charcoal fire in the clay furnace and sneered, "Returning home in glory. Even I don't have his style and prestige!"

Li Xuancheng had always thought that he was only missing his body, but he didn't notice that when he said this, his tone was full of jealousy and hate. Actually, the fact that his body was missing had more or less affected his mind.

The destruction of his lower body made it so that his body could no longer produce male hormones. His muscles became loose, smooth, and whiter. At the same time, his mind also began to change. He still couldn't forget Yingying. He thought that it was because he couldn't forget her, but it was hard to say if he still had any desire for Yingying. If he did, it was just an obsession born from unwillingness.

He hated Ye Xiaotian, but there was no need to hate Ye Xiaotian for showing off like a country nouveau riche. Not so long ago, he was indifferent to all worldly glory and only wanted to pursue the path of longevity. Now, his preferences and emotions were changing.

Li Xuancheng let out a light sigh. He raised his eyes and stared coldly at Xu Boyi. "Tell me, how should we deal with him?"

Xu Boyi thought hard, suddenly his eyes brightened. "Imperial Uncle, in the Ministry of Rites, do you have any familiar friends?" he asked.

Li Xuancheng said coldly, "Why?"

Xu Boyi said, "When he returns to the capital, he will first go to the Ministry of Rites for three days to receive etiquette training before His Majesty. If Imperial Uncle has people in the Ministry of Rites, you can take the opportunity to do something so that he doesn't know the rules and loses his etiquette in front of His Majesty …"

Li Xuancheng waved his hand impatiently and said, "How petty! Even if he loses his etiquette in front of His Majesty, will the Emperor kill him? Even if he is a low-ranking official, the Emperor will only be displeased if it's a light punishment. If it's a heavy punishment, he will only be demoted by two ranks. He won't be killed. Besides, he is coming to the capital to receive the title of Chieftain. Compared to the stability of the region, it's just a small loss of etiquette. Why would His Majesty take it to heart? "

"This …"

"If it's not an idea that will kill him, then there's no need to say it!"

Xu Boyi was shocked. He couldn't help but look at Li Xuancheng. He thought to himself, This Imperial Uncle actually hates Ye Xiaotian more than I do!

However, Li Xuancheng's intention to kill Ye Xiaotian was in line with his intentions. Xu Boyi thought for a moment and pulled himself together. "Does Imperial Uncle have any loyal and skilled subordinates?"

"Hmm?"

"We'll wait for an opportunity to assassinate him and end it all!"

Li Xuancheng sighed and slowly lowered his eyelids. He said slowly, "Go back. Go back and sweep your floor!"

Xu Boyi panicked and hurriedly said, "Why doesn't Imperial Uncle like it?"

Li Xuancheng said angrily, "Putting aside the fact that Ye Xiaotian is heavily guarded, even if there's a chance to kill him, he is no less than a high-ranking official. Moreover, he will be guarding the borders for generations to come! For such a person to be assassinated under the feet of the Emperor, how much trouble would it cause? As long as there are any clues, apart from death, how can Imperial Uncle apologize to the world? I want him to die, not to accompany him in death! "

Xu Boyi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled apologetically. "Yes, yes, yes. This servant will think about it again, think about it again …"

Xu Boyi lowered his head and thought for a long time. He slowly raised his head and revealed a treacherous and chilling smile. "Imperial Uncle, I have a plan. Not only can it kill Ye Xiaotian, but it can also kill his entire family!"

…

Yan Shiwei parted ways with Ye Xiaoan halfway and boarded the carriage to return to his residence.

This Yan Shiwei was actually not a businessman at all. He was a subordinate of Yang Yinglong of Bozhou. That day, Yang Yinglong's plan to use Gedwa to control the Gu God Sect failed, so he set his sights on Ye Xiaotian.

However, his intention of supporting Gedwa's ascension to the throne was too obvious. Ye Xiaotian had close ties with the Zhan clan and the An clan, so it wasn't appropriate for Yang Yinglong to have too much contact with him.

Leaving Yaoyao by Ye Xiaotian's side was just a hidden chess piece. Even if he couldn't use this cheap daughter to control Ye Xiaotian in the future, he could use Yaoyao to obtain many secrets about Ye Xiaotian through Ye Xiaotian.

At that time, Yang Yinglong began to inquire about Ye Xiaotian's background. He quickly found out that Ye Xiaotian was from the capital and had a twin brother.

In Yang Yinglong's heart, he still hoped to directly control Ye Xiaotian for his use. However, from Ye Xiaotian's usual behavior, it was obvious that he was quite wary of the Bozhou Yang clan. Therefore, Yang Yinglong thought of a backup plan: "Substitute Ye Xiaotian", and the key to this "Substitute Ye Xiaotian" was Ye Xiaoan.

Yang Yinglong intended to do his best to rope in Ye Xiaotian. If Ye Xiaotian could be used by him, then he would be one of his capable generals. In the future, when he conquered the world, Ye Xiaotian would be a vanguard in his conquest of the world!

If Ye Xiaotian couldn't be used, then he had to use the backup plan. He had to get rid of Ye Xiaotian without anyone noticing and replace him with Ye Xiao 'an. To do this, he had to have Ye Xiao' an under his control. Yan Shiwei deliberately approached Ye Xiao 'an and tried to entice her. This was his mission.

In order to get close to Ye Xiaoan, Yan Shiwei really put in a lot of effort. He first found a family member of a criminal official and took the initiative to seek kinship. He took the initiative to bribe the jailer for them and paid for it himself. Naturally, that family was happy to have such a warm-hearted relative.

Through this relationship, Yan Shiwei got to know Ye Xiaoan and quickly became close friends. Ye Xiaotian didn't expect Yang Yinglong to have such a far-reaching plan and actually set up the capital early. Ye Xiaoan also didn't expect that Yan Shiwei, who he regarded as his big brother, actually had such evil intentions.

When Yan Shiwei returned to his home, the housekeeper immediately came up to say a few words. Yan Shiwei was startled and immediately walked to the study.

Inside the study, a middle-aged man in a leather robe was sitting by the fire. When he heard the door open, he only lifted his eyelids to take a look but didn't get up.

Yan Shiwei happily walked over and said, "Big brother, you're here. Did the Heavenly King have any orders? "

The person sitting on the chair by the fire was his brother, also Yang Yinglong's confidant, Yan Shixing. Yan Shixing said, "How's the matter on your side going?"

Yan Shiwei sat on a chair to the side and said, "That kid is now involved in wine, women, avarice, and temper. There's nothing he doesn't touch. He's already under my control."

Yan Shixing laughed and said approvingly, "Well done! Ye Xiaotian has already returned to the capital today. This kid is not satisfied being a mountain king for a lifetime and wants to leave the mountains to become a hereditary chieftain. In the end, he really got it. "

"Motherf * cker, this kid is really blessed with luck! No wonder the Heavenly King values him so much! " Yan Shiwei muttered enviously and said, "If that's the case, shouldn't we get rid of him immediately and replace him with Ye Xiao 'an?"

Yan Shixing said indifferently, "Ye Xiaotian led the seedlings out of the mountains and advanced step by step. When he should be bold, he should be bold, and when he should be cautious, but now he only left the mountains. If it was Ye Xiao 'an, does he have the ability to do what his brother wants to do next?"

Yan Shiwei thought about it and shook his head. "This person … I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability."

Yan Shixing said again, "If the seedlings can't leave the mountains and even lose control and return to the depths of the mountains, what use is it to the Heavenly King! Also, in Tongren, Ye Xiaotian dragged the Zhang and Yu families and beat them up. When he was hurt, he switched over and continued to drag and beat them up until both sides obediently submitted to him and smoothly controlled Tongren. With this ability, can Ye Xiao 'an do it? Can he continue to maintain and expand the situation? "

Yan Shiwei thought about it and then shook his head awkwardly.

Yan Shixing said, "In addition, it's true that Ye Xiao 'an is involved in wine, women, avarice, and temper, but has he lost his conscience? Would he be willing to murder his own brother for his own wealth? "

Yan Shiwei hesitated again. Yan Shixing said, "You are too rash! Since you can't guarantee it, now is not the time to reveal the dagger. Ye Xiaotian has been an official for a few years. Just his bearing and dignified manner is not something that he can fake. We must let him stay by Ye Xiaotian's side for a while longer and carefully analyze and learn from him. The other one is the focus of your next mission. Drive a wedge between the two brothers and make Ye Xiao 'an hate Ye Xiaotian. He won't even blink when he kills him! "

Yan Shiwei smiled and said, "I understand. Big brother is brilliant! During this time, we can also let Ye Xiaotian continue to expand his power and continue to move the seedlings out of the mountains. When the time comes, we can use Ye Xiao 'an to take over everything and use it for the Heavenly King! "

Yan Shixing said, "He dares to praise his ten fingers as a needle but does not draw his eyebrows long. He bitterly regrets pressing the golden thread every year and making wedding clothes for others. Hahahaha … "
