"Change to Tian Xiufeng? What's the use? "
Ye Xiaotian got the wrong idea. He already knew that Tian Binfei's life was saved by Tian Xiufeng, and Tian Xiufeng was actually a branch of Si Zhou's Tian Clan. Could it be that Tian Binfei had the intention to pull Tian Xiufeng out of the fire pit for the sake of being a member of the same clan and his savior?
Tian Binfei said, "It's very simple. To Yang Yinglong, Tian Xiufeng is not only his wife, but also an assistant, an extremely powerful one. Her role is far greater than that of Chen Xiao, the Great Patriarch. In addition, Tian Xiufeng has worked hard for many years and built a force that belongs to her under Yang Yinglong. She plays an important role. "
Ye Xiaotian's eyes lit up. Tian Binfei continued, "If we can tie Tian Xiufeng to Tong Ren, it's no different from cutting off one of Yang Yinglong's arms. Tian Xiufeng's force will be like a group of dragons without a leader, and there will definitely be chaos. "
Ye Xiaotian said, "Yang Zhaolong, Chen Xiao, Zhao Wenyuan, and the others are probably very dissatisfied with Tian Xiufeng's power, right?"
Yang Yinglong smiled, "That's right! So, if Yang Yinglong's arm is broken, there will definitely be many people fighting to make a new arm. And they will all be secretive to avoid Yang Yinglong discovering their intentions. This kind of internal friction is even worse than killing an elite force! "
Ye Xiaotian smiled knowingly.
…
A gorgeous garden was different from the gardens of Jiangnan, and also different from the gardens of the north. The gardens of Jiangnan were exquisite, and the gardens of the north were heavy, but compared to the gardens here, they all lacked a natural atmosphere.
There was no flowing water here, the waterfall was the flowing water; there was no flowerbed here, the red, yellow, blue, and green flowers and trees were the flowerbed; there was no fake mountain here, the towering peaks and strange rocks were the fake mountain, the garden here was a mountain.
Ye Xiaotian and Tian Xiufeng walked in this mountain-like garden.
"So, Xiao An hopes that … Madam can accompany Xiao An back to Crouching Ox Ridge."
After listening to Ye Xiaotian's miscellaneous reasons, Tian Xiufeng stopped and slightly raised her charming eyebrows like the rainbow after the rain. "Chen Xiao is a Great Mu and is experienced in the ways of the world. It's not without reason that the Heavenly King chose him to accompany you back. Do you really think that I'm more suitable than him?"
Ye Xiaotian's expression became even more cautious. "Yes! For a long time, the one who has been active in the Tongren area has been you, Madam. In terms of familiarity with that area, Chen Da Ah Mu, who has been focusing on the affairs of Bozhou, would probably have to start from scratch. Also, everything that happened in the past was all because of Madam's secret instructions. Xiao An also believes … that with Madam here, there's nothing to worry about. "
Tian Xiufeng looked at him with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Is this what you really think?"
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly bowed and said, "Every word is from the bottom of my heart."
Tian Xiufeng thought about it. She seemed to have thought of something and her face blushed slightly, becoming as beautiful as a peach. "What you say makes sense. Then I'll go to the Heavenly King and say it."
Yang Yinglong obviously agreed. He had always felt that Tian Xiufeng was the most suitable person for this matter with her meticulousness. However, Tian Xiufeng had been running around recently, so he felt rather apologetic. Now that Tian Xiufeng had taken the initiative to request it, Yang Yinglong obviously would not refuse.
The Yang family had rushed to Crouching Bull Ridge under the guise of being invited by Ye Xiaotian to uphold justice. Even if Tian Miaowen managed to turn the tables, Tian Xiufeng would be fine. This was not a secret contest. In public, it was very rare for important figures of other organisations to be injured.
Even when their subordinates were locked in a fierce battle, the chieftains could still sit together and chat cheerfully at the same banquet. Chieftains fighting was just that strange. If there was a special case, then it would be Ye Xiaotian. In Guiyang, he had killed four chieftains in a row. Even so, after revealing his abilities, he began to hide his strength and bide his time. After capturing Shi Qian, the Yang family, the Zhan family, and the Cao family, he did not raise the butcher's knife again. Instead, after their families paid the "ransom", he released them.
Now that his opponent was Tian Miaowen, she should know the rules very well. Whether it was for the Crouching Ox Ridge, for her, or for the Tian family, he would always leave some leeway when he did things. Ye Xiaotian, who was extremely stubborn and did not follow the rules, was already dead. There would not be a second Ye Xiaotian.
… …
Red Maple Lake was still as beautiful as heaven. In this heaven, there was still a fairy-like bride waiting to be married. Seeing that the marriage was approaching, Yingying was overjoyed. Only the heavens knew how hard she had tried to restrain herself from causing trouble for Little Tian in the past year.
Yingying, who had been overly protected by her family since she was young, had once again entered a state of isolation. Everything that happened in Crouching Bull Ridge was sealed off by the Xia family. Because of Ye Xiaotian's cooperation, he would write a letter from time to time, so Yingying knew nothing.
Ye Xiaotian could cooperate because Yingying's father and grandfather knew everything. This could be considered as a great gift from Ye Xiaotian to his father-in-law. Currying favor with the governor of Guizhou, Ye Mengxiong, and clinging to the thick thighs of the imperial court, the Xia family would benefit a lot.
Counting on her fingers, seeing that there were less than two months until the wedding, Yingying began to feel reluctant. Although she could still return to her parents' home after getting married, Crouching Bull Ridge was not a short distance from Red Maple Lake. Moreover, as someone's wife, could she go home whenever she wanted?
Thus, during this period of time, Yingying calmed down and accompanied the old grandmother in weaving the net and chatted with her mother. The image of an obedient girl made everyone a little uncomfortable.
One day, as Yingying was sitting by the lake with the old grandmother and basking in the sun, Master Xia suddenly walked out from the manor and bowed respectfully to the old grandmother, "Mother!"
Yingying jumped up from the stool and ran over to hug his arm, "Grandfather, how come you have time to come here? I was just listening to the Great Ancestor talk about your childhood. Hehe, did you really almost drown when you were a child, and when you came back, you were beaten by the Great Ancestor? "
Master Xia glanced at the old grandmother awkwardly and said embarrassedly, "Mother …"
The old grandmother glared at him and said, "Why can't I say it? Besides, it's not like I'm telling an outsider."
When people got older, their temperaments became somewhat childish. Master Xia was not young, but when he met his mother who was even more childish than him, he could only concede defeat. Master Xia had no choice but to say, "Yes, of course you can. Mother, I have something to discuss with Yingying. "
The old grandmother waved her hand, "Go, go. I'll mend those two nets."
The old grandmother rose and hobbled over to the two nets on the beach. Master Xia left with Yingying.
Xia Yingying held her hands behind her back and skipped a few steps. She glanced at her grandfather, who seemed to be deep in thought, and said, "Grandfather, what do you want to say to me?"
"Ah? Oh! "
Master Xia returned to his senses and coughed, "Yingying, pack up in a bit. Tomorrow, I'll take you to Crouching Bull Ridge."
"Crouching Bull Ridge?" Yingying jumped with joy, but her face was immediately filled with suspicion, "Why Crouching Bull Ridge? I still have fifty-five days before I get married! "
At this point, Yingying's pretty face blushed, clearly embarrassed that she had blurted out how many days she still had. She then became nervous and grabbed Master Xia's hand, "Grandfather, did something happen to Little Brother Tian?"
Master Xia shook his head, "That kid has caused a lot of trouble. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry … "
With each sentence that Master Xia said, Yingying's face paled. By the end, she was as pale as a sheet of paper. Tears welled up in Yingying's eyes as she sobbed, "Grandfather, what happened to Little Brother Tian? Is he …"
Master Xia looked at his precious granddaughter and could not help but jump in fright. He quickly said, "Aiya! Don't worry, that's not what I meant. I mean, Ye Xiaotian has caused quite a bit of trouble these days … "
Xia Yingying smiled through her tears, "If he doesn't cause trouble, would he still be Little Brother Tian? So you're saying that he's fine? "
Master Xia replied, "What could possibly happen to him? But he has caused quite a bit of trouble. Do you still remember when he went to Guiyang to have an audience with Ye Futai? On the way back to Crouching Bull Ridge, someone messed with him and buried him alive. Then, his twin brother, Ye Xiao 'an, took his place. In the end … "
Xia Yingying's vision darkened and she almost fainted. Master Xia hurriedly explained, "Aiya! Let Grandpa finish! I've said it before, he's fine, he's fine! I'm just keeping you in suspense … "
Before Master Xia could finish, his son, Old Xia, spoke up angrily, "Father, you really don't know how to respect your age! You're already so old, yet as the Proclamation Envoy, you can't even speak clearly. Why are you keeping me in suspense? Do you think you're a storyteller? "
Master Xia glared at his son, but because he was still holding onto his precious granddaughter, he did not kick her. First Xia rushed over to support his daughter's other hand and quickly explained the situation. He did not dare to keep her in suspense anymore, so he first told her the outcome, then the entire process. Xia Yingying was crying and laughing at the same time. She was happy and scared at the same time. She clenched her little fist angrily and punched her grandfather, saying angrily, "You're scaring me, Grandfather!"
Master Xia laughed dryly and said awkwardly, "That's why I want to take you to Crouching Bull Ridge. Before we lure the people of Bozhou to Crouching Bull Ridge and escape Bozhou's control, we can't expose ourselves. If we're going to put on an act, we have to act for real. After all, this concerns his identity. If I don't bring you along, I'm afraid that the couple in Bozhou will grow suspicious."
Xia Yingying jumped with joy, "Alright, alright! Then when do we set off? "
… …
Compared to Xia Yingying, Zhan Ning 'er, who had participated in the entire matter, had a much easier time making arrangements.
The new Chieftain of the Zhan family had been single-handedly supported by Ye Xiaotian, and there were still members of the original Zhan family who were still alive. With Zhan Long's existence, he needed Ye Xiaotian's power even more, so he had always been obedient to Crouching Bull Ridge.
The original Zhan family's power had fallen, but Zhan Ning 'er, who was also a descendant of the Zhan family, possessed an extremely great status in the Zhan family because of her relationship with Ye Xiaotian.
She would not threaten the position of the current Chieftain, and the current Chieftain wanted to use her marriage to establish a closer relationship with Crouching Bull Ridge, so her influence in the Zhan family was much greater than when her father was alive. She was basically equivalent to the Chieftain of the Grand Supreme.
"I'm going to Crouching Bull Ridge in the next few days."
"Alright!"
"In Bozhou, Yang Yinglong has already resigned from his position as punishment. His son will take over the position of Chieftain. The troops in Bozhou have also retreated, so there won't be any unrest for now. So … family head, can you accompany me to Crouching Bull Ridge? "
"Of course! But … just what happened? Why do you want me … "
"Family head, don't worry. This matter has nothing to do with the Zhan family. It's just that … someone needs to be a witness. Family head only needs to go."
"Ugh … alright then!"
The family head of the Zhan family agreed immediately. After leaving the reception hall, he thought uneasily, What is this lady trying to do? I heard that Chieftain Ye was abducted because the Palm Seal Madam seized power. Is this lady trying to seek justice for Chieftain Ye? Won't that cause a fight?
