Under Ye Fan's lightning-fast speed, the two of them arrived above the Ye Residence in less than an incense's time.
"Hold on tight, we're going down." Ye Fan turned his head and said to Ye Feixue who was on his back.
"En." Ye Feixue nodded her head and increased the strength of her hands.
Shua! Ye Fan instantly circulated the spiritual energy in his body and used an exceptional movement technique. He disappeared from the Auspicious Clouds!
Shua! The two of them appeared in the medicinal field in the backyard of the Ye Residence.
Medicinal herbs were everywhere in the medicinal field. It was verdant and lush, making it a good place to hide.
It was currently daytime and the servants of the Ye Residence were busy drying medicinal herbs in the courtyard. If Ye Fan suddenly appeared, he would definitely scare these people. In addition, his current identity was very special. He was a fugitive wanted by the Great Ming Dynasty and also a guest of Matsumoto Takeyoshi. He absolutely could not reveal his identity.
"Feixue, hurry up and go back now. Send my regards to Senior Ye," Ye Fan said to Ye Feixue who was beside him in the midst of the lush green medicinal herbs.
"You're not going in?" Ye Feixue immediately asked when she heard Ye Fan say this.
She did not think that Ye Fan would leave so quickly and not even enter the room.
"Now that you've safely returned home, I'm relieved." Ye Fan said to Ye Feixue, "I still have important matters to attend to, so I won't be going in. Remember what I said to you. Prepare more money and valuables. In the future, when the army invades the capital, I will definitely think of a way to save you. Also, you must keep what I said to you a secret. You must not mention it to anyone else, including Senior Ye. "
"Then … Then when can I see you?" Ye Feixue lowered her head and asked with a face full of unwillingness.
"When I have the chance, I will come and see you. Is that okay?" Ye Fan said to Ye Feixue.
In his opinion, Ye Feixue was no different from a child.
"Did you say that?" Ye Feixue looked up at Ye Fan.
"I did," Ye Fan said with a smile.
"Don't forget, you promised to take me to your cave to play." Ye Feixue reminded Ye Fan.
"Don't worry, Brother Ye is a man of his word," Ye Fan said with a smile as he tapped Ye Feixue's nose.
"Pinky swear, no backing out," Ye Feixue said as she stuck out her pinky finger at Ye Fan.
"Okay, okay, okay. Pinky promise." Ye Fan helplessly reached out his pinky and hooked it with Ye Feixue's pinky.
"Are you satisfied now?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.
Ye Feixue smiled but didn't say anything.
"I have to go. You and Senior Ye take care," Ye Fan said as he turned around and prepared to use his movement technique to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey …" Ye Feixue grabbed Ye Fan.
"Is there anything else?" Ye Fan turned around and asked Ye Feixue.
"Wait for me here. I'll be right back," Ye Feixue said as she jogged away.
"Hey … Hey …" Ye Fan was baffled by Ye Feixue's actions.
"Shh …" Ye Feixue turned around and made a shushing gesture at Ye Fan as she ran. Then, her figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
"This girl," Ye Fan muttered to himself as he shook his head with a wry smile.
There was nothing he could do. He could only wait here.
After all, Ye Feixue was his relative from his previous life.
In less than the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Ye Feixue tiptoed into Ye Fan's line of sight while carrying a bulging bundle.
Bundle? When Ye Fan saw this, he immediately frowned.
What was this Ye Feixue planning to do? She couldn't be planning to leave with him, right?
Just as Ye Fan was thinking, Ye Feixue passed through the dense green vegetation and arrived in front of Ye Fan.
"What did you do?" Ye Fan frowned as he asked Ye Feixue.
"Shh …" Ye Feixue put a finger to her lips, indicating for Ye Fan to be quiet.
As she shushed him, she used her hand to push aside the green leaves and vigilantly looked outside.
"Why are you acting like a thief? Where's Senior Ye? "Ye Fan whispered to Ye Feixue.
"Nonsense, if I wasn't a thief, who would have gotten you all these good things?" As Ye Feixue spoke, she turned around and handed the bundle over to Ye Fan. "Father isn't home right now. Take these things first. The next time you come, I'll get you more."
"What … What are these things?" Ye Fan took the bundle from Ye Feixue and asked.
"Thousand year ginseng, hundred year lingzhi, caterpillar fungus, Tianshan snow lotus. In any case, they're all good things," Ye Feixue said to Ye Fan.
"You went in just now to steal these things?" Ye Fan's heart stirred as he asked.
It was obvious that these things were given to Xiao Zhao by Ye Feixue.
"Why else do you think I went in? To play hide-and-seek with you? "Ye Feixue's beautiful eyes flashed as she asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was rendered speechless by Ye Feixue's words.
"Don't worry, these things were given to my father by someone else. My father's body is fine, so he has no use for these things. It's better to just leave them there, so it's better to give them to Xiao Zhao. Besides, aren't we a family, huh? Great Ancestor Ye? "Ye Feixue covered her mouth as she laughed.
"Damn girl." Ye Fan believed that his mouth wasn't bad, but compared to Ye Feixue, it was like a small child in the presence of a great witch.
"Hehehe …" Seeing Ye Fan's helpless expression, Ye Feixue laughed hysterically.
"Alright, I'm going to leave." As Ye Fan spoke, he carried the cloth bag on his back. "When Senior Ye returns, give him my regards."
"Brother Ye, take care of yourself. Remember to come back and visit me if you have the chance." Ye Feixue stopped laughing and said to Ye Fan reluctantly.
Ye Fan smiled and nodded. Then, he activated his spiritual energy and used his movement technique, disappearing into thin air.
Ye Feixue's eyes reddened as she looked up into the sky.
She saw a snow-like Auspicious Clouds rapidly floating in the direction of the capital …
Above the clouds, Ye Fan used his Cloud Urging Technique and rapidly advanced.
What he needed to do right now was to reach the imperial palace in the capital as soon as possible and investigate the situation of the imperial court.
Right now, most of the military power in the imperial court was in the hands of the Minister of War, Zhou Dao. Zhou Dao was also Matsumoto Takeyoshi's only son. Adding on the fact that the emperor was under house arrest by Matsumoto Takeyoshi's lackey, Matsumoto Takeyoshi, the entire imperial court could be said to be under Matsumoto Takeyoshi's control.
With Matsumoto Takeyoshi's personality, he would definitely not take the initiative to start a war with a neighboring country, especially with a powerful military like the Mongol Empire. There was no benefit to him if the two sides fought.
From this, it could be said that this matter had nothing to do with Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
Since this matter had nothing to do with Matsumoto Takeyoshi, there was only one possibility left.
That was that the Mongol Empire was provoking the Great Ming!
However, based on his experience with the Mongol Empire, there seemed to be something strange about this time.
The Mongol Empire mainly used cavalry, and their soldiers and horses were strong. They had great charging power and mobility, and they were good at guerilla warfare. They caught the enemy off guard and did not give them any time to breathe.
What was going on with the Mongol Empire this time? Why did they give the Great Ming Dynasty time to mobilize their army?
Why did his father not stop the Mongol Empire from attacking the Great Ming Dynasty? Could it be that something had happened?
The more Ye Fan thought about it, the more confused he became.
As he thought about it, he urged the Auspicious Clouds under his feet to continue moving. After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, he arrived above the imperial palace.
Originally, he wanted to fly above the main hall and listen to how the officials and generals were discussing the war. Who would have thought that he would be a step too late? At this moment, the officials in their fancy court robes had already left and were whispering to each other as they walked out of the hall.
Seeing this, Ye Fan frowned.
He had really come at the wrong time this time.
It seemed that he could only go to other places in the capital to gather information.
Since the Imperial Court had already begun to mobilize their army, it was impossible for the people in the capital to not know about this. He wanted to walk around the streets of the capital. The people were sometimes more informed.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan immediately moved the clouds and prepared to leave.
"Gather all the guests to the Crown Prince's Palace for a meeting." Just as Ye Fan was about to move the Auspicious Clouds, a small voice came from the palace and entered Ye Fan's ears.
"Yes, this subordinate will go now." Another voice replied.
When Ye Fan, who was on the Auspicious Clouds, heard this voice, he immediately turned around and looked down.
At the entrance of the main hall, an official wearing a purple qilin robe was talking to a eunuch.
When the eunuch received the order, he quickly ran away.
The official wearing the qilin robe looked around and slowly left with his hands behind his back.
Crown Prince's Palace? Meeting? Guests?
When Ye Fan heard this, he frowned.
This meeting in the Crown Prince's Palace might have something to do with the Imperial Court's campaign.
Based on what he knew, the Crown Prince's Palace was the residence of the current Crown Prince, and its standards were second only to the Emperor's. Those who could discuss matters here were all important officials who supported the Crown Prince.
Since that was the case, he might as well follow this official and see if he could get some information from them.
As Ye Fan thought about this, he slowly activated the auspicious cloud beneath his feet and followed behind the official who was wearing the qilin court attire.
After leaving the main hall, the official walked into a gorgeous palanquin carried by eight people.
The eight people carrying the palanquin wore embroidered robes and hats. They were all expressionless, and their steps were brisk.
These eight people had sabers at their waists, and their breathing was steady. Their temples were slightly bulging, and one could tell at a glance that they were internal energy experts.
For an official of the court to be protected by such experts, there had to be some mystery behind it. On the Auspicious Clouds, Ye Fan thought to himself.
The eight people carried the palanquin and quickly left the main hall, heading east.
Ye Fan followed closely behind.
After passing through the Nine Winding Corridors, the palanquin began to pick up speed. The eight people touched the ground with their toes and moved quickly, constantly changing directions and circling back and forth.
Ye Fan knew that they were deliberately circling back and forth to prevent anyone from following them.
However, this trick was enough to deal with ordinary stalkers, but for Ye Fan, who was tens of thousands of feet above the Auspicious Clouds, it was simply a waste of time.
After a while, a magnificent main hall appeared in front of Ye Fan.
After arriving at the door of the hall, the palanquin slowly landed.
The curtains of the palanquin were lifted, and the official wearing the qilin robe walked out and quickly entered the hall.
It seemed that this was the Crown Prince's Palace.
As Ye Fan thought about it, he disappeared with a swoosh.
Whoosh! In the blink of an eye, Ye Fan appeared at the top of the hall.
