Therefore, Ye Mingsheng was somewhat eager to join the Zhenwu Army and return to Liaoyang. In Liaoyang, Tiangao was far away from the emperor. He had the endorsement of the Zhou court and was in charge of food, wages, weapons and other logistics. He could recruit troops as much as he wanted. By then, there would be people with money and resources. In the territory, he is the grass-headed king, with thousands of soldiers and horses in his hand, and no one can use it.
But here in Luo An, due to his status restrictions, he must be restrained when doing things, unable to let go and do anything without any restraint.
Leaning on the Taishi chair, Ye Mingsheng thought carefully for a moment or two, and finally sighed, chose to give up, and murmured to himself in a low voice:
"In this place, it is better to do less than to do more. Let's try to cause as little trouble as possible... Five hundred taels of silver, as little as possible, it is enough to save a little!"

The next day, at three o'clock
Because I was hosting the guests, and I lived in Yongpingfang in Xicheng District, which was not close to Changningfang in Dongcheng District.
So although it was still more than half an hour before the agreed time, Ye Mingsheng was dressed neatly and planned to go out and head to Zuixiangju.
But as soon as he opened the door, what Ye Mingsheng didn't expect was that under the jujube tree not far outside the door, Pei Zhixiu, who was dressed in a white dress and looked pretty, was standing there, looking quietly. Own.
Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng felt really guilty. It felt like he was about to go out to steal something, but ended up getting caught.
"Miss Pei!" Although he felt embarrassed, in order to go out to do errands, Ye Mingsheng still gritted his teeth and greeted Pei Zhixiu:
"General Ye, are you unable to control yourself again?"
Glancing at Ye Mingsheng, Pei Zhixiu looked calm and said calmly:
Although her tone was calm, the meaning behind her words was obvious.
Hearing Pei Zhixiu's yin and yang eccentricity, Ye Mingsheng, who was discovered, suddenly had a wry smile on his face. Just when he was about to explain, Pei Zhixiu put down a small table on the stone table under the jujube tree. The medicine bottle still said calmly:
“Take one pill before and after drinking!”
As soon as the words fell, Pei Zhixiu, who looked like a fairy in white under the jujube tree, did not listen to Ye Mingsheng's explanation, and walked straight back to her room with light steps.
Seeing all Pei Zhixiu's actions, Ye Mingsheng's eyes were helpless and a little complicated. Of course, he knew that Pei Zhixiu was thinking about his body, but as he said, being in an officialdom, he can't help himself and is worthless. People will not have social entertainment·········
Picking up the small medicine bottle that Pei Zhixiu left on the stone table, Ye Mingsheng bowed deeply to the east wing where Pei Zhixiu lived, then walked out and continued his journey.
After arriving at Zuixiangju, Ye Mingsheng chose a private room and then quietly waited for the arrival of Bai Renxuan and Qian Buli.
Feeling that the time was approaching the agreed hour, Ye Mingsheng took out the small medicine bottle that Pei Zhixiu had given him and poured out a small light green pill from it.
Although he didn't know what this small pill was made of, Ye Mingsheng could feel the faint fragrance of herbal medicine lingering on the tip of his nose when he held the pill in his hand. Ye Mingsheng only felt, He seemed to have smelled this fragrance before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Seeing that the Youshi hour was coming, Qian Buli and Bai Renxuan could come up at any time, Ye Mingsheng didn't think too much, poured himself a cup of tea, and took the pill into his belly with just one gulp of the tea.
Although Ye Mingsheng took the pills given by Pei Zhixiu, what made him a little regretful was that he seemed to have taken the pills too early...
Compared with the last time, Qian Buli came to the appointment on time, this time they seemed a little late, much later than the agreed time. Two quarters of an hour later, Ye Mingsheng in the private room was outside the door. I heard the familiar footsteps of Qian Buli.
Ye Mingsheng's heart moved, and he immediately took the initiative to open the door. He saw Qian Buli and a handsome middle-aged Confucian scholar in white robes right at the door.
"Brother, this is what I told you, Brother Ye Mingsheng, the commander of the Forbidden Army!" When he saw Ye Mingsheng, Qian Buli immediately introduced him to the white-robed Confucian scholar:
"Mr. Bai!"
Although this Bai Renxuan was a white man without an official position, he was still a close aide of Marquis Guangshun, and now he was asking for help. Ye Mingsheng did not dare to neglect, and took the initiative to salute Bai Renxuan with cupped fists:
"General Ye!"
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng was not showing off, Bai Renxuan, a Confucian scholar, was naturally polite and bowed to Ye Mingsheng.
After the two parties saw the ceremony, they did not talk much outside the private room. They returned to the private room, and the guests and hosts took their seats. The host Ye Mingsheng handed the menu to Qian Buli. Knowing that Ye Mingsheng had money, Qian Buli, this Not once was he polite, he simply ordered eight dishes, four vegetarian and four meat, plus three jars of Fenjiu that he drank last time.
While waiting for the food, with Qian Buli accompanying them, the scene was not cold. Ye Mingsheng and Bai Renxuan, who were meeting for the first time, also talked a lot, exchanged greetings and compliments.
But what makes Ye Mingsheng a little strange is that he can vaguely feel that Bai Renxuan seems to be quietly sizing him up...
Looking at Ye Mingsheng, who was sitting opposite him, with an ordinary face but a dash of heroic spirit between his features, Bai Renxuan's gaze shifted to him involuntarily.
Others only knew that Bai Renxuan was the aide of Chen Dechang, Marquis of Guangshun, and Chen Dechang's mastermind. However, only a few knew that Chen Dechang had handed over the intelligence system that Guangshun Marquis had been running for generations to Bai Renxuan's hands.
And because of this, Bai Renxuan also knew that many of Ye Mingsheng's matters had nothing to do with him. Bai Renxuan had no idea about Ye Mingsheng.
But what Bai Renxuan never expected was that this Ye Mingsheng actually found him through his brother-in-law Qian Buli, and the purpose of finding him was that Ye Mingsheng actually wanted to be transferred to the Zhenwu Army!
After learning the news, Bai Renxuan was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Ye Mingsheng. However, after getting Ye Mingsheng's files in the Ministry of War through some connections, he learned about Ye Mingsheng's background in Liaoyang.
Bai Renxuan felt that he had to admit that Ye Mingsheng, a warrior who had been hanging around in the army, was a smart man who knew how to make choices. At the same time, he also realized that Ye Mingsheng's arrival might be a sign for the Zhenwu Army and Chen Dechang. Very good opportunity·········
