"Third brother!" What was going on? "Why did you suddenly lose your Qi Sea?" Ye Jinfeng supported Ouyang Qingfeng and asked.

"I don't know." I sat on the bed and closed my eyes to recuperate. I felt something touch me behind me and I completely lost consciousness! "

"Cough!" Third brother! This was just a small matter! I'm fine! We are sworn brothers, it is only right for us to help each other! " Huang Shiying said as he stood up with a smile.

Suddenly, Lord Ye saw the candle flickering. He hastily turned his head and saw a servant with a saber on his back slip into the room. It was the person he had expected to see.

"Reporting to the Old Master! The Liu Estate of the Myriad Spirit Camp did not have any movements, moreover, there were no ambushes on the way! "

"Good!" Lin Shan! You're back! "For now, don't leak out this news!"

"Yes sir!" After Lin Shan cupped his hands in greeting, he turned around and left.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps came from outside the house. Lord Ye turned around once again. It was Bao'er, Jin'er and Young Master Ouyang who had come to the house.

"Father! Young Noble Huang still hasn't come back to report? " Young Master Ye Dongsheng asked anxiously.

"I think he's on his way back." Lord Ye looked at the three of them and said.

Just then, Steward Kang hurried into the house and reported to the Old Master, "Old Master! The troops have already been assembled. We will wait for your order and secretly set off armed to the teeth! "

"Very good!" The Lord Ye immediately said, "Let me tell you, when you send out your troops, do not disturb our families and our neighbors, you must act like a mysterious soldier! Do you understand? "

"Understood!" Everyone could not help but answer in unison.

"Good!" "When Young Noble Huang returns, we'll act immediately!"

Just as Lord Ye finished speaking, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the door. Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads and see a middle-aged servant walk in. The man came to Lord Ye, cupped his hands, and said: "Reporting to the lord! Everything in the Liu Estate was normal, and no one from the Liu Estate was found on the way! "

When everyone heard this news, they were shocked! However, they were even more pleased to accept that the old tutor's considerations were still as thorough as ever. He could even plan things according to the plan and win by leaps and bounds!

"Good!" Go back and wait for your orders! " Lord Ye said very calmly.

"Yes sir!" The middle-aged servant replied and left.

At this time, First Young Master Ye Dongsheng could not help but step forward and say: "Father is wise! The one we are attacking is the West Villa, I didn't think that you would have already sent a scout to the north side of the Liu Manor! "His skills are really better than mine!"

"But now, I just need some news from the West Villa!" Just as Lord Ye finished speaking, he suddenly heard a crisp clank from outside the door. It sounded like a steel knife had been dropped on the stone steps. Everyone hurriedly ran out of the door and saw a servant covered in wounds fall in front of the door.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly helped the servant into the room.

Just then, the Lord Ye recognized the one who came and asked him in shock: "Song Si! "What's going on?"

So, Song Si endured the pain and said weakly: "Old master! Gu … The troops of the Gu Estate were … There's an ambush along the way! "

"AHH!" Everyone could not help but be secretly surprised.

"Then have you seen Young Noble Huang?" The Lord Ye asked hurriedly.

"No …." No... I... I was. Stolen on the way back! I... I have encountered their three ambush locations! "

"Three?" Hearing that, the Lord Ye felt deep regret, and helplessly shook his head, "Sigh! It seems that West Villa was prepared for this! Hurry and help him heal his wounds! "

Finished speaking, Eldest Young Master Ye Dongsheng and Steward Kang wanted to help Song Si treat his injuries. At this moment, everyone suddenly felt light footsteps on the roof …

"This is bad!" Ye Jinfeng called out to everyone, and anxiously used his palms to extinguish the two candles on the table. Immediately, the room was pitch-black, and he couldn't even see his fingers in front of him! However, Ye Jinfeng and Ouyang Qingfeng had long since sneaked to the side of the door, quietly observing their surroundings!

For a long time, Ye Jinfeng and Ouyang Qingfeng did not hear a single sound. The two of them could not help but heave a sigh of relief, then returned to Lord Ye's bedroom and lit the candles. However, to their utter surprise, the people in the room had already disappeared without a trace. The two of them looked at the window next to them. It was all closed and intact, with no sign of going over the window; where the hell had they gone?

Just as the two of them were panicking, they suddenly saw Lord Ye, Young Noble Ye Dongsheng and Steward Kang leading a group of servants carrying lanterns to the door. Steward Kang ordered the servants to stop outside the door, then accompanied him into the house.

"Jin'er!" What did you find? " Lord Ye entered and asked anxiously.

"A false alarm! No other movements were detected! "

"It's good that you're fine! I thought someone was trying to kill us in secret, which is why I rushed to the Central District and ordered old Kang to bring more people here! "

"Father! When did you get out? " Ye Jinfeng could not help but ask.

"Oh! Jin'er! Now I can tell you this secret! " The Lord Ye said with a smile.

"What secret?"

"There is a secret passage under my bed that leads straight into the Guanyin Pavilion!"

"So that's how it is! I thought my father had been robbed! " Ye Jinfeng said, suddenly enlightened.

"You want to rob me?" It's not that easy! " The Lord Ye said as he paced around, "It seems that the Gu Palace found out about our actions tonight. We still need to change our plans, we can't act rashly tonight!"

Just as Lord Ye said this, he suddenly heard a servant outside shout: "Who is it?"

Following the shout, a person jumped off the roof and landed on the ground.

"AHH!" Great Hero Huang, you're injured! " A servant exclaimed.

At this time, Lord Ye and the other three had already walked out of the door. Huang Shiying was holding onto a sword in one hand and his injured and bleeding left chest as he rushed towards Lord Ye and said, "West Villa is ambushing too many people, it's not appropriate to take action tonight."

"Quick!" "Quick, bring Young Noble Huang into the house!"

Just as they were talking, Ye Jinfeng and Steward Kang had already helped Huang Shiying up and carefully helped him into the room, allowing him to lie down slowly on the bamboo chair.

At this time, the Lord Ye looked at Huang Shiying with a pained expression and said: "Young Noble Huang has suffered! They really set up a lot of traps? "

"That's right!" Huang Shiying propped up his body and said: "When I went there, it was still unobstructed, but who would have thought that after I escaped from the Ancient Palace's courtyard, I actually met with three blockages along the way!"

"So powerful!" "So powerful!" Lord Ye's expression changed as he said, "They've already made the ambush look like a sack, they are waiting for us to drill through them!"

"It looks like they have sealed up the inside and outside of West Villa tightly, and are even waiting for something to happen!" The Steward Kang also followed.

"Father! "Then tonight's operation …" Just as Ye Jinfeng was halfway through his words, the Lord Ye had already stopped him with a wave of his hand, "Order our family members to guard our homeland strictly! If the original plan is cancelled, then I'll find a good opportunity in the future! "

"Yes sir!" The Steward Kang replied and left.

Under the night sky, the Yersinia returned to its former tranquility.

On the morning of the second day, which was also the fifth day of the sixth month. Ye Jinfeng was unable to hold back the stuffiness in his room, and once again went to Lord Ye's room.

"Jin'er!" If you didn't recuperate properly, why are you here again? " Lord Ye put down the book and said.

"Father!" Ye Jinfeng stepped forward and said, "I think that our failure to take action last night was a big mistake!"

"Oh? What was the loss? " Lord Ye could not help but ask.

"Last night, I also thought that it was inappropriate to take action, but the more I think about it this morning, the more I feel that something is amiss!" Ye Jinfeng looked up at the ceiling and said.

At this time, the Lord Ye couldn't help but follow his gaze to the roof, and asked: "What's wrong? "What's the problem with it?"

At this time, Ye Jinfeng lowered his head and said: "The noise on the house last night, I think it must be the scouts sent by the Ancient Palace! Not long after the noise, Huang Shiying jumped down from the roof. Furthermore, I have already asked Huang Shiying, he did not meet any of the Ancient Palace's spies. So I think the scout was still in the dark, and he knew we'd stopped taking action last night. But why didn't they attack us? And why did he place the ambush so securely? It was because they had no leader within them and did not dare to act rashly; they were only weak in appearance. I think that Gu Xitian must still be in a coma. We were unable to take action and in reality, gave him a chance to turn around and rest his breath.

"NO!" No! "No!" The Lord Ye waved his hands and said, "When you said that they are strong from the outside, it is no more than a small Gu Xitian that has yet to recover! This was just like the opposite of an empty city. Although their leader wasn't here, the soldiers under his command weren't that easy to deal with. Furthermore, the two scouts I sent were already alerting the enemy, so they would be more cautious against the Yan family. The ancient soldiers should have been 'caught off guard, caught unawares'. If we were to suddenly attack, wouldn't it be a huge blow to our vitality? "

Hearing these words, Ye Jinfeng could not help but nod his head and say: "Father's words are reasonable! But if this stalemate continued, wouldn't that mean that they were letting the tiger recover from its injuries? If we want to eliminate the Gu Clan, it's best if we do it sooner rather than later! "

"Hm!" Indeed! " The Lord Ye thought for a while, "I have been thinking about which of the thirty-six strategies to use!"

"Father wants to walk the path of the thirty-six plans! After careful deliberation, he was sure to have a trick up his sleeves! But tonight, I want to personally go to the Ancient Palace to investigate! "

"You?!" The Lord Ye said in shock, "But your power has not fully recovered!"

"That's nothing!" It's not a problem for me to deal with a dozen of them! Furthermore, I am confident that I can enter and exit the Ancient Mansion soundlessly and soundlessly. "

"Alright then!" Lord Ye promised, "You must be careful, be careful! You must not miss a chance! "

"I understand!" After Ye Jinfeng finished speaking, he left Master Ya Wu Xia's room.

… ….

That night was once again an hour of complete silence. There weren't even any stars in the night sky, and only the lights in the Ye Family's main courtyard flickered occasionally and the sound of knocking could be heard. Taking advantage of the remaining light in the courtyard, a black shadow jumped onto the roof, jumped over the northwest corner of the Ye Family's courtyard, and then entered a forest.

Very quickly, this black shadow passed through the forest to the west, and then quietly slipped past a few alleyways, stepping onto the winding road that led to West Villa.

While the black shadow was walking, a burst of laughter suddenly came from ahead: "Ha! Ha! Ha! Ye Jinfeng! Take off your mask! Don't pretend to be a good person, you don't even have four stages of skill! "

It turned out that this person was none other than the second young master Ye Jinfeng who was travelling at night. At this moment, his right hand was slowly reaching for the hilt of his sword. From the looks of it, a fight was unavoidable!

"Capture him alive!" With the order, many more soldiers suddenly appeared behind Ye Jinfeng and rushed towards him. But, unexpectedly, Ye Jinfeng slashed a few people down, and took the chance to jump into the rubble and disappear.

"Idiot!" Let him run! " The guy holding the ancient halberd roared.

"Three leaders!" Ye Jinfeng will definitely be back, we don't have to worry! "

"Not worried? "Does this reassure me?" That guy was berating him, "Ye Jinfeng will not go back so easily! Go back to your residence! "

As he spoke, "Soaring Dragon" Ye Jinfeng penetrated all the way out of the darkness, observed all six paths, and overheard and heard everything. Finally, he touched beneath the walls of the ancient palace of the West Villa. He listened quietly for a while and then jumped into the yard. When he looked again, he found no one from the Gu Mansion. As a result, he smoothly climbed over a few more walls and arrived at a row of houses in the east wing.

At this time, Ye Jinfeng slowly extended his head out of the roof and looked at the courtyard below: Under the hall, there stood two rows of house guards with lanterns and big swords hanging on their waists. There seemed to be around 30 people standing there.

Seeing that, Ye Jinfeng immediately knew in his heart: "Gu Xitian is definitely in the hall. It seemed like he had been beaten by the thunderbolt and had yet to recover his strength! I have to find a way in and see how he does. I have to take the opportunity to take his head off. "

Thinking of this. Ye Jinfeng was about to go invisible. Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from the south side of the courtyard. Very quickly, this group of people arrived before Ye Jinfeng's eyes and stood in the middle of the lanterns that were held on both sides of the hall. The leader of the warriors held an ancient halberd in his hand. Ye Jinfeng understood in his heart that he had just escaped from this group of people. The leader was the brother of the three Gu Xitian brothers who had fought with Steward Kang and Huang Shiying before, and he was nicknamed "prostrate without shadow" and was also a martial arts expert who held a position in the Jianghu Martial Forest World. It had the beautiful name of "Lv Bu is still alive"! There were even rumors saying that the ancient halberd in Ximen Ba's hand was the weapon that Lv Bu Lu Fengxian used in the Eastern Han Dynasty! However, to Ye Jinfeng, the rumors were just a bluff! It might not be believable!

"Nothing suspicious yet?" Ximen Ba asked immediately.

"No!" A fellow with a lantern replied.

"Good!" "Continue to keep a tight watch. Do not let a bird fly into the house!"

"Yes sir!" The two lines of lanterns responded in unison, their voices shaking the sky!

At this time, Ximen Ba turned around and ordered the people behind him: "You guys go and guard the backyard!"

"Yes sir!" The group of people picked up their weapons and left.

Furthermore, Ye Jinfeng was currently holding his breath and observing every single movement beneath the door. Suddenly, he heard a creaking sound coming from the main door, and saw a seven feet tall man standing on top of the stairs in front of the door.

"AHH!" Gu Xitian! " Ye Jinfeng almost shouted.

Just then, Gu Xitian asked: "Third brother! Why did you come back? "

"On the way, we met Ye Jinfeng. I was afraid that something might happen here, so I hurriedly came back to increase my vigilance!" Ximen Ba replied.

"Humph!" How dare he, Ye Jinfeng, come over to my place! His cultivation is not even as good as mine! " Gu Xitian said with a little pride.

"Strange? How did he know about my recovery? "Could it be..." Just as Ye Jinfeng started to suspect, he heard Ximen Ba say: "Big Brother! Continue cultivating your skill! We will stand guard around you and ensure your safety! "

"Hm!" Did the second brother know you were back? " Gu Xitian asked again.

"I already know. Don't worry, big brother!"

"Good!" I'll leave the matters outside the room to you. You are not allowed to make the slightest mistake! "

"Yes sir!"

So, Gu Xitian turned and entered the hall and closed the door.

Thus, Ye Jinfeng slowly disappeared from the rooftop.

It was said that at this time, in Yay Manor's bedroom, there were still two large, half-burnt, blood-pillar-like candles shining on the table beside the wall. Lord Ye was lying on a bamboo chair, deep in thought.

Suddenly, Lord Ye heard a series of footsteps coming from outside his house! He couldn't help but get up and go forward to take a look. He saw Jin'er, dressed in a black nightdress, walking in.

"Jin'er!" "You're finally back!" The Lord Ye said in surprise.

"Father! Your son has come late and has kept you waiting! " Ye Jinfeng said apologetically.

"Ai!" "I'm fine!" Lord Ye waved his hand and said, "I'm already used to it. How about it? "What's the situation like?"

Therefore, Ye Jinfeng hurriedly replied: West Villa is tightly guarded, and Gu Xitian's stamina has recovered.

"Oh!" The Lord Ye thought for a while and said, "So that means you saw Gu Xitian with your own eyes!"

"Yes!" "Father!" Ye Jinfeng continued, "Right now, he is repairing his energy day and night."

"En!" Lord Ye could not help but pursed his lips, and then said, "The situation is just right for my changed plan."

"What is it? Father already has a plan in mind? " Ye Jinfeng asked in surprise.

At this time, the Lord Ye slowly paced around and said: "Right now, the Gu Mansion is still in the defensive stage, and the Liu Mansion of the Ten Thousand Year Stronghold has not made any movements. This is an opportunity for us!"

"Father's meaning is …" Ye Jinfeng asked, puzzled.

Therefore, the Lord Ye slowly turned around and looked at Ye Jinfeng, smiling as he said: "You should know that there's a plan within the thirty-six stratagem called ranged attacks!"

"I know!" This was the twenty-third of the thirty-six strategies! I wonder what is father's purpose in bringing it out? " Ye Jinfeng still did not understand.

"I have considered everything!" The Lord Ye walked over and said, "Although the distance between us and the West Villa is about the same, as long as we can get on good terms with the Liu Estate, the Gu Palace's strength will be destroyed, and we will lose any external assistance!"

"Friendly with the Liu Estate?" Ye Jinfeng said in shock, "But Gu and Liu Residence came together to attack us! How can we disintegrate them? "

"No!" The Lord Ye raised his hand and said, "I feel that the situation is bad! Think about it, after so many days, why is there no connection between Gu Liu's residence and his residence? That's why I don't think they have any signs of joining hands to deal with us! "

"But the black and white on the letter were very clear. I personally witnessed it, and they joined together to swallow our East Road Town!" Ye Jinfeng said anxiously.

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes! But let me ask you, who actually sent that letter? " Lord Ye asked Ye Jinfeng.

"This..." Ye Jinfeng thought for a while, then said, "Even now, I am not sure, but it is an anonymous letter!"

"Yes!" That's probably the problem! " Have you thought about it? Since the person who sent the letter wanted to help us Ye Family, he could definitely come by and tell us. Also, think about it carefully. When you met Gu Xitian and Liu Zhentian on the twenty-fourth of last month in Pingyanggang, what did they actually say? "

"What did he say?" Ye Jinfeng lowered his head in thought, "I really can't remember!"

"I can't remember! "That's nothing!" The Lord Ye continued, "But I heard from your brother-in-law, Chou Tianting, that the Gu and Liu family were …."

"Oh!" I remember! " Ye Jinfeng suddenly shouted out in alarm, "When our four families gathered at Pingyanggang, the first thing Gu Xitian said was," All three of your families are here! " And he even claimed to drive us all out of the Pingyanggang! Then, Liu Zhentian even said 'none of you should even think of seizing my Pingyanggang'! "

"Did they really say that?" The Lord Ye opened his eyes wide and said, "It looks like it's just as Sky Pavilion said, the Gu and Liu families did not work together to deal with us, the Ye Family."

"Could it be like this?" Ye Jinfeng frowned and said suspiciously, "Back then, the two families killed them at the same time. Even though they said those words, they might just be secretly joining forces to confuse us. "

"Cough!" In any case, my plan has been decided. " Lord Ye placed his hands behind his back and said, "First, I need to get to know Liu Zhentian."

"But our Ye Family has never interacted with the Liu Family before. Would he be willing to be our friend?" Ye Jinfeng said suspiciously.

"Jin'er!" Don't forget, I heard that Yu'er and Liu Zhentian have a bit of a friendship, and that the two of them even went out to study together! "

"I've heard about it, but that's Third Brother's business. I can't ask." Ye Jinfeng said coldly, "However, Third Brother has been studying outside all year round, so he and Liu Zhentian are just friends that remain indifferent."

"Hm!" That is not a problem, to stabilize Liu Zhentian, we will need to use our wealth! "

"You mean to bribe Liu Zhentian with money?" Ye Jinfeng tightly furrowed his brows, showing that he did not care at all.

"This is the only way! As you know, there must be a brave man beneath such a large sum of money! This time, we don't need his bravery. We just need his stability. " The Lord Ye slowly said.

"But we do not know Liu Zhentian's background. Will this cause the commotion even more?" Ye Jinfeng said worriedly.

"Ai!" Don't worry! "First, I will bring some men to the Liu residence to pay a visit. There is no need for them to bring a large sum of money. However, there is one thing that I will give him a peace of mind the moment I open my mouth!"

"Tranquil Heart Pill?" Ye Jinfeng did not understand his intention, and asked: "What peace of mind pill?"

"Yes!" This is the key to reassurance! " Lord Ye smiled and said confidently: "Then we will give half of our territory in Pingyanggang to him!"

"Huh?" Ye Jinfeng cried out in alarm, "Father! How can you bear it? This is the land of Feng Shui, the treasure of our Ye Family! "

"It's nothing! Beard treasure, treasure turned into treasure, precious pearl turned into agate. We will take back the treasure land in the future! The so called Tranquil Heart Pill was only to tease you! Do you understand? " Lord Ye reminded Ye Jinfeng.

"I understand!" Ye Jinfeng finally came to a realization, and pleaded, "But I think it's better if I do the job! I guarantee that there will be no mistakes! "

"Alright then!" Lord Ye thought for a moment and said, "You are very experienced in this! You do it, I'm very relieved! Yay, the Liu family wants to be on good terms with each other, of course it's most appropriate for you to go. "But you have to remember, you have to bear with small gains for big gains. You have to be patient and don't advance recklessly!"

"Yes!" Your son will remember! From now on, it's all my fault! " Ye Jinfeng said firmly.

"Hm!" It's getting late, you should go back and rest! "

"Yes sir!" Thus, Ye Jinfeng left the Lord Ye's room.
