Just when Ye Qingcheng was calculating how much wealth he still had, a waiter suddenly knocked on the door and asked: "Sir, someone below said that you invited him. He calls himself Bai."
"Oh, he is indeed my guest. Let him come up."
"Okay, sir, wait a moment, I'll ask him to come up right now."
Not long after, a young man in white with tied hair pushed in the door. Ye Qingcheng turned around and saw that this person was Bai Lingfeng. He had carefully identified the person and his breath was unmistakable.
This room had a soundproof formation set up when he first entered. Even if someone followed Bai Lingfeng, he would not be able to get any useful information.
He did recognize Bai Lingfeng, but Bai Lingfeng was stunned for a long time when he came in. Wow, what kind of scene is in front of me? A young man with tied hair and black robe is standing in front of the window. He has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes that are rare even in Chang'an, as well as the smile that always hangs on his lips, and that Ling In terms of human temperament, he could not connect this man with the person in his impression.
"This is the young master? May I ask his name?"
"My surname is Ye Qingcheng. Brother Bai hasn't seen you for many days. How are you?"
"Ye, Ye Qingcheng? It seems that you are really Saburo? Can't you tell that you have really changed your appearance? This body has no trace of the former Ye Saburo. Your voice, eyes, face, and temperament , these are completely different from before, this golden cicada sheds its shell and makes it really perfect.”
"Really?" Ye Qingcheng smiled and sat down with Bai Lingfeng. Then he clapped his hands and called the waiter.
"This guest officer, what are your orders?"
"Bring over all your fine wine and food. We're going to get drunk today!" Ye Qingcheng said happily.
However, Bai Lingfeng stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "There is no need to drink. I will lead students to train in the martial arts hall later. The rules in the martial arts hall are very strict. Drinking is a taboo. Today, Brother Ye and I will not drink." Alright."
"Okay, no problem. Since you still have a mission, the wine is waived. We will have tea instead of water. It's the same thing. Waiter, hurry up and get ready."
"Okay, please wait a moment. The little one will come as soon as he goes." After saying that, the waiter hurriedly went to prepare the meal.
After hearing the sound of the waiter going downstairs, Bai Lingfeng, who had already set up a soundproof formation, asked, "Sanlang, is this really all your plan?"
"What, don't believe it?" Ye Qingcheng smiled and asked.
"No, it's not that I don't believe it, but all this is too real. Do you know that except for these few people in the entire Tang Dynasty, you have kept the rest in the dark. Now Zhang Yu Jiedushi led his army to station in Tongzhou and did not dare to move forward. It was rumored that the entire green forest was in action. Countless people from all walks of life were gathering. There would be a war soon. Half of this was because of the astonishing power of the Ye family. The remaining half of the wealth is your original corpse. In all of this, no one has ever doubted that Ye Sanlang is not dead. It is undoubtedly your corpse. All of this is too real."
"Yes, I bypassed Tongzhou when I came here and already know these things."
"You know? Then why didn't you stop it?" Bai Lingfeng was surprised.
"Why don't I want to stop it? But how can I stop it? I will tell those people that I, Ye Sanlang, did not die, but changed my name and body and am still alive and well. Can the people of the world accept this? ? Can Li Longji accept it?"
Hearing Ye Qingcheng mention Li Longji, Bai Lingfeng's expression changed, and in the end he couldn't say anything. Yes, he was originally a dog who was absolutely loyal to the Li Tang royal family, but after a trip to the south of the Yangtze River with Ye Sanlang, he changed a lot. After that, when he heard that Ye Sanlang had deployed a network to surround the Ye family, he was sincerely happy for him. He even naively thought that with such achievements, Ye Sanlang would take over the power in Yushitai. , and later even worshiped the general as prime minister, but he underestimated Li Longji's emperor's heart. When he heard that Li Sihan died and Ye Sanlang committed suicide in Yizhou, he almost collapsed. For the first time, he had doubts about Li Longji. A year ago, it would have been impossible for him to have such a mentality. If Ye Sanlang's messenger hadn't just arrived, he might not be able to sit still. Now, Ye Sanlang is dead, but Ye Qingcheng appears in front of him. He questions the emperor's authority, but is he capable of persuading him? No, there was nothing he could do.
"At the end of your trip to Yangzhou that day, when you returned to Chang'an, you must have reported the situation we detected at the Anlu Mountain Camp, but it was not taken seriously. Although you were promoted to General, you were transferred to the Lecture Hall. As an instructor, did I say anything wrong?"
"Not bad." Bai Lingfeng shook his head helplessly.
"The Li Tang royal family has been stable for so long. It's time to change the master. Although I don't have this intention, sooner or later someone with this ability will come forward. Didn't I serve the country wholeheartedly before, but he, Li Longji, How should I be treated? How will Li Longji govern the current Tang Dynasty? Today's Datang Dynasty is in turmoil. It looks like a tiger lying on a barren hill, but in fact it is a dog with a broken spine barking. People are looking forward to a change, but This change requires a hero and a wedge. The dead Ye Sanlang is that hero, and his death is the wedge. If the Tang Dynasty is not changed before An Lushan, the Tang Dynasty will eventually be destroyed at the hands of foreigners. Can you still chat and laugh with me in this restaurant then?"
At this moment, the waiter knocked on the door, and then led several servants to serve all the food and drinks on the table, and they started talking again.
"Sanlang, you said that no one in Chang'an knows the fact that you are still alive except your father and me. You even asked me not to let others know. But do you know that Mo Xiang knows about the two of you? After the incident, I was depressed for a long time, and Lei Maohao and Cai Hang were also very excited, and even wanted to go directly to the Caobang and your navy to participate in the Jianghu operation and snatch your body."
Ye Qingcheng, who was eating at this time, paused, and then said: "I expected it, but I still can't tell them the truth. The two of them are too impatient. If they know the truth, they might be exposed; and Mo Xiang is too old. Young, I am not at ease, so I would rather he be sad for a while and not tell them for the time being. All I can do is to restrain all the power belonging to my chess pieces and not make any moves. And I believe you, you I have the ability to control the three of them."
"Sigh... Do you know that if you appear in front of them again in the future, I'm afraid it will be several years later. In that case, the three of them will join the Yulin Army carrying your hatred, which will not be good for their future. , and the emperor must have already paid attention to the three of them, which is not good for the growth of the three of them."
"It doesn't matter, that's why I came to see you before leaving this time. I believe that the three of them will grow up to my satisfaction under your hands. By the way, I also arranged for a person named Zhao Liuyang in Yizhou. He should come to you someday and arrange for him to be together with the three of them... It will indeed be several years since I left this time. I don't know when I will come back. I'm afraid it depends. An Lushan."
"Why did you work so hard to make such an arrangement?"
"One day you will know that this is what I can do for the Tang Dynasty before I leave the mortal world. When I am no longer a mortal in the future, this world will have nothing to do with me."
