The four gates of Taiyue City are tightly closed and guarded by soldiers. No entry or exit is allowed at will. But in fact, there are very few people in Taiyue City, they are just soldiers and horses going on official business inside and outside. Even so, the superiors must strictly check the tokens to prevent spies from sneaking into the city.
In the cold night, several soldiers gathered around the fire and roasted sweet potatoes to keep warm.
One person looked at the city, shook his head and said, "Everyone is sleeping in the house, but it's our buddies' turn to stand guard. It's really annoying."
"Stop complaining," said another person: "Stay here for the last night, we can also change the guard. I heard that there is a small wine shop in the city that is still open, and the proprietress of that shop is really interesting! "
The two people next to them laughed: "Then we brothers should go and have a look, and ask the landlady to have a drink with us!"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
While they were talking, they saw two young soldiers coming from the city, it was Ye Ling and Hua Xinfeng.
When the guarding soldier saw that he was a member of his family, he did not get up. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Brother, why are you here with us if you don't sleep at night?"
Ye Ling rolled his eyes and sighed: "How can I have an idle life! No, the orders from above sent people out to investigate, so they picked out the two of us, and we are about to leave the city."
"oh?"
Several soldiers looked at each other and asked, "Is there any token for entry and exit?"
Ye Ling and Hua Xinfeng hurriedly took out the token, but there was something wrong with it. Because this is not a token for entering and exiting Taiyue City.
Several soldiers were suspicious. Seeing this, Ye Ling hurriedly asked Hua Xinfeng to bring out a few jars of wine and said to them: "It's really hard for me to stand guard and guard the gates. I've also done this hard work, brother. The difficulty is in it." It’s self-explanatory. Come on, let’s have a few drinks to warm ourselves up!”
As soon as they saw the wine, the guarding soldiers immediately changed their colors, said thank you, and then got together to drink.
Seeing that they were almost done drinking, Ye Lingcai smiled and said, "It's getting late, and we brothers have to go out on errands."
Several people had forgotten about the token. Besides, although the token was not an entry or exit token, they could still open the door.
So, the two soldiers took out two crystal stones from their arms and shook them towards the city gate. A hole was opened in the city protection formation, and Ye Ling and Hua Xinfeng walked out and left Taiyue City.
The two of them did not dare to delay, and after leaving the city, they used their body skills to disappear into the night.
Hua Xinfeng asked: "Ye Zi, where are we going now?"
Ye Ling said: "I still have some friends in a small town outside the city. I want to go and have a look." As he spoke, the two of them headed towards the small town.
It was deeper into the night now, and the town was silent. There were only a few soldiers drinking and having fun in some hotels.
Ye Ling and Hua Xinfeng came to the town and saw the soldiers under Baili Xiyu's command. They were glad that they didn't take off their armor in a hurry, so they could still walk on the street with arrogance.
Ye Ling brought Hua Xinfeng to the entrance of the school, but now his master was no longer there, and the sound of reading loudly during the day was no longer there. Looking at the closed door, Ye Ling fell into deep thought.
"who?"
Hua Xinfeng stared at the dark alley with a vigilant face, but saw an old man walking out of the alley, looking like he was in charge. He said to Ye Ling: "Master Ye, my young master has something to say, please let me convey it to Master Ye."
Hearing this, Ye Ling was confused and asked, "Who are you, who is your young master, and why do you know about me?"
The old man said: "My young master is the second prince of Daqian, Baili Qingfeng!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Ling and Hua Xinfeng were shocked, looked at each other and said, "What do you mean?"
The old man took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Ye Ling: "This is the letter that my young master asked me to give to Taoist Ye. I also ask Taoist Ye to deign to accept it."
Ye Ling took the letter and was slightly surprised after reading it, but when he looked up again, the old man had disappeared.
Hua Xinfeng said: "He left after giving the letter to you. What did the letter say?"
Ye Ling handed the letter to Hua Xinfeng. Hua Xinfeng took it and saw that it read: "
I know that Taoist Ye and Xu Zheng of Dazhu Kingdom are brothers with different surnames, and their friendship is unparalleled. Now that I am dead, I am still worried about what will happen after death. I believe that Dazhu Kingdom is the same as me. He should leave a message to you. The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command will obey the deployment. I hope that Taoist Ye will take the people of Daqian into consideration and help me stabilize the country. In this way, Dazhu Kingdom and I will drink with smiles. Jiuquan. Signed: Baili Qingfeng. "
After Hua Xinfeng finished reading, he looked at Ye Ling: "You really have something to say?"
Ye Ling nodded. Xu Zheng did leave a message to himself before, but he never told anyone about it. How did Baili Qingfeng learn about it?
Hua Xinfeng said helplessly: "This Baili Qingfeng will not stop even if he dies. What should we do now? Do we have to listen to Baili Qingfeng?"
"I won't listen to his orders from Baili Qingfeng, but I still have to fulfill my eldest brother's last wish!"
While talking, Ye Ling and Hua Xinfeng walked along the alley and arrived at the door of Xu Guo's house. Before they could make any move, a force locked the two of them.
Hua Xinfeng looked shocked, but Ye Ling said calmly: "I didn't expect to meet here."
Around the door, Zuo Fengyuan, Baili Shuze and others came over. Zuo Fengyuan smiled and said: "You kid, you are still alive!"
Ye Ling ignored them and just walked to the house. When he saw Qing Yi sleeping peacefully on the couch, his whole heart relaxed. But soon, he discovered the Tao power in Qing Yi, who was obviously a Qing Nether Realm monk, which surprised him.
After tucking Qing Yi into bed, Ye Ling walked out and saw Song Ming. Song Mingdao: "We meet again."
Ye Ling didn't expect Song Ming to be here, so he asked why. This time he learned that his grandfather Song Jinghe was dead. He could not go back to Qintian Prison, so he had to come here.
Song Ming said to Ye Ling: "Grandpa told me before that Brother Ye is not an ordinary person, and he cannot see through your fate. So you want me to follow you, and I hope Brother Ye can take you in!"
Ye Ling was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't even know where to go, how can I take care of you?"
Unexpectedly, Song Ming smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Brother Ye doesn't have to agree to me right away. But I know you won't ignore me!"
Ye Ling looked at Song Ming and suddenly thought of his junior brother Xiaobai. He reached out and touched his head, and casually asked about Qing Yi.
Song Mingdao: "A few days ago, when I arrived at the school, I saw that Qing Yi had improved his cultivation. I guess it must have been Master!"
"Master!"
Ye Ling nodded, and his gratitude and respect for Kong Mengyao inevitably increased a lot.
After leaving the room and entering the small courtyard, Ye Ling said to Baili Shuze and others: "I don't want your fight to affect the two children, so please find another place to go!"
Baili Shuze promised: "We will not harm you. In this case, we will say goodbye!"
Unexpectedly, Zuo Fengyuan grabbed Baili Shuze and said to Ye Ling: "Now that Baili Xiyu is plotting to seize the throne, are you turning a deaf ear and watching all the people become mere fish?"
Ye Ling looked calm and replied: "I am just a foreigner who practices Taoism and I don't understand political affairs. If you say so, does it mean that when Baili Shuze succeeds to the throne, he must be better than Baili Xiyu?"
It can only be said that his action to stop Baili Xiyu a few days ago was impulsive. Looking back now, he regrets it very much. Now he just wants to leave as soon as possible and no longer have anything to do with the Daqian court.
After hearing what Ye Ling said, Zuo Fengyuan asked: "Did your brother Xu Zheng's death be in vain? Your brother Xu Zheng had a heart for the country and the people, why don't you?"
"Didn't my brother die in the hands of your Daqian court and the Baili royal family?" Ye Ling smiled scornfully: "I only saw you fighting for power and profit, but I didn't see anything about serving the country and the people!"
As soon as he said this, Baili Shuze cupped his hands and said, "What the Taoist Master said is absolutely true. We can't disturb you, so we're leaving!"
As he spoke, Baili Shuze went out regardless of Zuo Fengyuan's objections. When Zuo Fengyuan saw this, he sighed and left with Chen Gui and Zhu Wanquan, disappearing into the night.
After sending the four people away, Ye Ling said to Hua Xinfeng: "I still have to fulfill my elder brother's last wish. I will come back after the matter is completed. During this period, please ask Brother Hua to take care of Qing Yi and Song Ming." . If there is any danger, you can take them to Youjie Temple and take shelter in the temple!"
When Hua Xinfeng saw Ye Ling's stern expression, he knew he couldn't shirk it, so he agreed and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you here, and I'll make sure nothing goes wrong."
Ye Ling looked at Song Ming who was standing by the door. Song Ming also nodded to him, which reassured Ye Ling.
So, Ye Ling used his skills to leave the town and headed east.
…………
Under the night, Baili Shuze and others walked cautiously in the streets, for fear of being noticed by the soldiers in the town.
But as soon as they turned a corner, an old man standing in front of them made Baili Shuze's eyes light up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Qi, why are you here?"
This old man was none other than the man who sent Ye Ling a letter before, the official of Baili Qingfeng Mansion, Uncle Qi.
Qi Boyan said: "I have been ordered by the young master to come to see the third young master and take you to a safe place."
"Second brother!"
Mentioning Baili Qingfeng, Baili Shuze's face showed sadness and asked: "My second brother has already made arrangements for his death?"
Uncle Qi nodded and said: "Third Young Master and Mr. Zuo Ge, please come with me. My Young Master has arranged everything. The throne of Da Gan will never fall into Baili Xiyu's hands!"
The four people were slightly surprised, but after all, Uncle Qi was a trustworthy person, not to mention that the situation was urgent now, so they couldn't help but not believe him.
Therefore, the four people followed Uncle Qi, left the town by the small road, and disappeared into the night...
…………
In the Yuxi Palace, Men Zhaoping said to Baili Xi who was sitting on the seat: "According to the last general's investigation, Liang Chen's army is indeed going to be in chaos. The unified state capitals have already fought several times with Liang Chen." The battles were won one after another. It seems that Baili Shuze is not in Liang Chen's army."
Baili Xiyu chuckled when he heard the words: "It seems that my third brother's uncle wants to make himself emperor! It's a pity that this chief officer is the chief executive of my Baili family after all, and it's not his turn to take the surname Liang’s here to get involved!”
Men Zhaoping continued: "Now Liang Chen wants to return to Qiongzhou. If he really returns to Qiongzhou and unites with the Dayan dynasty, it will be difficult to exterminate. It is likely to become the second Han Yulou. The general thinks , we should take the initiative to completely wipe out Liang Chen."
Baili Xi said: "I will leave this matter to you. You will mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the city. As long as Liang Chen's head is placed on my imperial desk, you will be the great pillar of my empire!" "
"The general will accept the order and will definitely live up to the great trust of the Holy One!"
