As this place was located at the border, the guards were naturally extraordinary. Squads of patrolling soldiers shuttled back and forth. Taking advantage of the gap between the two squads of soldiers, Ye Yun performed his movement technique and leaped onto the city wall. Then, without stopping, he activated his sword aura and floated down from the city wall.
Ever since the battle at the Ye family's ancestral home, Ye Yun felt that his cultivation was insufficient and practiced until late at night every day. After being possessed by Ye Fan's sworn brother, the Sword Qi in his body had more than doubled in just two short months. Although he couldn't fly, he could still stay in the air for a while. A shadow quickly flew over the city wall and instantly disappeared into the night.
Two hours later, Ye Yun arrived at the entrance of a magnificent mansion. He had been here before. It was the mansion of the Tubo State Preceptor. Before the Ye family members set off, Ye Yun had sent a letter to the Tubo State Preceptor. The letter explained what had happened to the Ye family. The Tubo State Preceptor quickly replied to Ye Yun. In the letter, he reassured him that as long as the Ye family members entered Tubo, they would definitely be safe.
Now, Ye Yun didn't know what had happened to the Ye family members. Therefore, he came here directly to ask the State Preceptor.
Although the State Preceptor's mansion was heavily guarded, it was nothing to Ye Yun. Soon, Ye Yun arrived outside the State Preceptor's bedroom.
After sealing the acupoints of the two guards, Ye Yun gently pushed the door open and entered the room.
At this moment, the State Preceptor was focused on reading. He didn't notice that Ye Yun was already standing in front of him.
"Senior State Preceptor, how have you been?" Ye Yun spoke from behind the State Preceptor.
"Who is it?" The State Preceptor was engrossed in reading. He was shocked by Ye Yun's voice and immediately stood up from his seat. When he saw that it was Ye Yun, his expression instantly changed.
"Guo shixiong is in such a good mood," Ye Yun picked up the ancient book on the table and looked at it, then smiled and said, "It's so late, but you still have the mood to read."
"Brother Ye, you … you're still alive?" The State Preceptor cautiously asked Ye Yun.
Ye Yun frowned as the Tubo State Preceptor's words shocked him.
"Senior Brother Guo, what do you mean by that?" Ye Yun laughed. "Could it be that you think I'm dead?"
The Tubo State Preceptor immediately picked up the candlestick on the table and walked around Ye Yun, sizing him up.
"Is it really you?" the State Master asked after sizing up Ye Yun.
"It's the real deal," Ye Yun answered.
"Brother Ye! It's really you! "After a careful examination, the State Preceptor finally confirmed that the person in front of him was Ye Yun.
"You're finally here!" he said excitedly.
"Guo shixiong, what's wrong?" Ye Yun quickly asked.
"Something has happened, something big has happened!" The State Preceptor said to Ye Yun emotionally.
"What happened?" Ye Yun quickly asked. He had known the State Preceptor for a long time, but he had never seen him so excited.
"The government has changed!" The Tubo State Preceptor said excitedly, "The government has changed!"
"What happened?" Ye Yun said, "Guo shixiong, tell me slowly."
"Someone is trying to usurp the throne!" The State Preceptor nervously said in a soft voice.
"Usurp the throne?" Ye Yun frowned and asked, "What usurp the throne?"
"Half a month ago, the old king who had always been healthy suddenly fell ill in the palace. Then, the second prince started a coup," the State Preceptor said. "He has been eyeing the throne for a long time and has been secretly bribing various ministers. After the old emperor passed away, he secretly sent someone to tamper with the edict and changed the name of the crown prince who should inherit the throne to his own name, successfully usurping the throne."
"The old emperor passed away?" Ye Yun was shocked when he heard this. The old emperor's body had always been healthy, so how could he have suddenly died?
"After the second prince inherited the throne, he first abolished the first prince's position as crown prince. Then, he removed the ministers who had followed the old emperor for many years from their positions and killed them all. Now, the government is filled with newly promoted young ministers. " The State Preceptor sighed and said, "Even I was removed from my position and demoted to a commoner. If it wasn't for my contributions to the country back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to escape."
"Guo shixiong, the usurp the throne you mentioned just now, could it be that you were referring to the second prince?" Ye Yun asked.
The State Preceptor nodded. "The old emperor was still holding a banquet for his ministers the day before yesterday. How could he suddenly fall ill and die the next day? Moreover, after announcing the old emperor's death, his corpse was hurriedly buried. The ministers didn't even have time to pay respects to the old emperor's appearance. According to what I know, on the night the old emperor held a banquet for his ministers, the second prince brought three people to the harem. "
"You mean to say that the second prince harmed the old emperor?" Ye Yun asked.
"If it wasn't him, who else could it be?" The State Preceptor said hatefully.
"But according to what I know, although the second prince was tyrannical by nature, he had always been somewhat afraid of the old emperor." Ye Yun said, "Moreover, the old emperor had more than ten experts guarding him. Normal people wouldn't be able to get close to the old emperor. Even the second prince didn't have this ability." He had seen the experts that Ye Yun mentioned before. All of them were top-notch experts in Tubo and were extremely loyal to the old emperor. With them guarding the old emperor, even a hundred people wouldn't be able to get close to them, let alone three people.
"The experts you mentioned are already dead." The State Preceptor said.
"Dead? How did he die? "Ye Yun was shocked when he heard that.
"A sword to the throat." The State Preceptor said calmly.
"A sword to the throat?" Ye Yun frowned and asked, "Who would have such great ability?"
"Do you know who the second prince brought?" The State Preceptor didn't answer him directly.
"How would I know?" Ye Yun didn't understand why Guo Guo would ask him this.
"It's your Ye family." The State Preceptor looked at Ye Yun and said.
After Ye Yun heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning!
The Ye family actually participated in the Tubo palace coup!
Ye Yun faintly felt the seriousness of the matter.
"Impossible!" Ye Yun slammed the table and stood up, "It's definitely not the Ye family!"
"At first, I didn't believe it either." The State Preceptor shook his head and smiled bitterly, "But later, when I found out about the new State Preceptor, I understood everything."
"The new State Preceptor?" Ye Yun asked.
"Do you know who this person is?" The State Preceptor asked.
"Who is it?"
"Speaking of this person, you are most familiar with him. He is your Ye family's top expert." The State Preceptor said to Ye Yun word by word, "Heartless Sword, Ye Lan!"
After Ye Yun heard this, he immediately fell back into the chair, his face pale.
"You are also familiar with the other two." The State Preceptor said slowly, "One is Lightning Blade Ye Ben, the other is Misty Sword Ye Zhen."
Ye Yun frowned deeply, his hand holding the Snow Thread Sword made creaking sounds.
Ye Zhen, Ye Ben, Ye Lan, these three were the most famous experts of the Ye family's younger generation. Other than Ye Kong and Ye Chen, there were very few people in the Ye family who could withstand ten moves from these three, let alone win.
Ye Yun finally understood why the ten experts by the old emperor's side had their throats slit. Any one of the three could do this. Ye Zhen's Heartless Sword was ruthless, nicknamed the Lightning Blade. Ever since he became famous, no one had ever seen him use a second move. Ye Ben's Lightning Blade Technique, as the name suggested, was as fast as lightning. Often, his opponent would not even see the blade before it was sheathed. People gave him the nickname, One Blade Deity. As for Ye Lan's Misty Sword Technique, it was even more mysterious. It was said that when this Misty Sword Technique was used, it was vague and unpredictable, extremely powerful. However, legends were just legends. No one had ever seen Ye Lan's sword technique, or rather, those who had seen Ye Lan's sword technique were no longer in this world.
This time, when the family moved out, Ye Yun put the three of them in charge of the family's safety. He did not expect that the three of them would become traitors of the Ye family.
"Where are they now?" Ye Yun asked the Imperial Tutor.
"The three of them have already been conferred the title of Marquis. Ye Lan has been conferred the title of Imperial Tutor, Ye Zhen is in charge of the Ministry of War, and Ye Ben is in charge of all the Imperial Guards. The three of them now have their own mansions. "The Imperial Tutor then asked Ye Yun," Why, are you going to look for them now? "
"I'm going to clean up the family." Ye Yun said coldly.
"I advise you not to go for now." The Imperial Tutor advised Ye Yun, "That place is now heavily guarded. They are not stupid, they must have expected you to go look for them. If you go now, you will fall into their trap."
"I have to go." Ye Yun said calmly, "The Ye family is still in their hands."
"If you want to save your family, I can tell you where they are locked up." The Imperial Tutor said.
"You know where they are locked up?" Ye Yun's eyes lit up, "Where?"
