In a short period of time, Taoist Xue has subdued more than ten evil spirits.

It didn't take long before Chu Ye and others were found.

However, that group of forbidden soldiers were infected with resentment and lost their consciousness, so they slashed with their swords.

Chu Ye has the Talisman of Peace on his body, so resentment cannot infect him.

Some of the Imperial Guards were tough and upright, and had not been eroded by resentment. The two groups were fighting fiercely.

Of course, Ye Chengyan and others couldn't tell what was going on.

"No, some people are disturbed by resentment." Master Xue held a dust whisk, stepped forward, and beat those who were infected with resentment one by one.

Ye Chengyan had experienced this before and was not too surprised.

After the grievances of the forbidden soldiers were beaten out, they fainted and fell to the ground.

Chu Ye's body was stained with a lot of blood. He panted and quickly stepped forward to thank him: "Thank you, Taoist Master, for helping me."

Because he was a colleague, he did not make a fatal move, which resulted in endless dealings.

His strength has been almost exhausted. Without the Taoist priest's help, he is afraid that he will go on a killing spree.

"It is Pindao's duty to catch ghosts and eliminate demons. There is no need for the general to say thank you." Taoist Master Xue kept saying the same thing, "The evil spirits on the mountain have been eliminated. Pindao said goodbye."

Ye Chengyan was in a hurry when he came out, so naturally he didn't bring any money or banknotes.

He immediately took out a jade pendant as a thank you gift.

Taoist priest Xue didn't look at it, his expression remained the same, "I am a poor Taoist and will never be swayed by these things. This jade pendant is too precious. If His Highness the Crown Prince wants to reward me, I only need to give him one tael of silver."

Only charge one tael of silver?

Ye Chengyan couldn't help but remember that after Chu Nanli came to the palace to rescue her, her father rewarded her with a large box of gold, and she happily accepted it.

There are differences between people, but I didn’t expect that the differences among ascetics are even greater.

He immediately felt respectful and said: "This Yuanqiu Mountain is a hunting ground for the royal family. Thieves can be guarded against, but hateful ghosts and evil spirits cannot be guarded against. I wonder if you would be willing to lend a helping hand to my prince and set up a magic circle in Yuanqiu Mountain.

To ensure that evil spirits and evil spirits will not come again?"

"I have a predestined relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince, so I can naturally help you a little or two." Taoist priest Xue agreed, "As for the reward, Your Highness the Crown Prince only needs to give you three taels of silver."

Ye Chengyan smiled and said, "Then I'll ask you, Taoist Priest."

That night, Ye Chengyan invited Taoist priest Xue to the hunting palace, planning to survey Yuanqiu Mountain tomorrow and then devise a formation.

Although Chu Ye was rescued by Taoist Xue, he was very cautious.

After freshening up and changing clothes, it was already late at night, so Chu Ye still went to see Ye Chengyan.

The lights in the room were bright, reflecting Ye Chengyan's handsome face.

He was looking at the official document without raising his head, "It's so late, what's the matter with General Xiaoqi?"

"The general feels it is inappropriate to ask Taoist Xue to set up the magic circle." Chu Ye said seriously, "Your Highness, although Taoist Xue helped today, his origin has not been found out, so he cannot be reused."

You must know that the emperor, empress, princes and ministers will all come to Yuanqiu Mountain by then, so nothing can go wrong.

"Don't worry, I have asked about his origins and sent Liang Han to find out." Ye Chengyan said.

Chu Ye was still worried and said: "Since we have to create a formation, the general can ask his sixth sister to come. His Highness the Crown Prince has also seen how powerful she is."

Unexpectedly, Ye Chengyan suddenly turned cold.

"Chu Ye, it's not like you don't know that your sixth sister costs dozens of taels of silver to sell a talisman and seal script." Ye Chengyan twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a faint sarcasm, "Set up a magic circle at Yuanqiu Mountain.

It's time-consuming and labor-intensive. How can she help without eighteen thousand taels? You should also know that I don't have much money at my disposal."

When Chu Ye heard this, he was also dissatisfied, "If the sixth sister of the general is useless, then the general will definitely reprimand her for raising prices, but the sixth sister's talisman is very effective, and it also helps the palace's magic circle to block the holes. This

Eighteen thousand taels is obviously a fair price."

Although he respected the prince, he could not tolerate Ye Chengyan mocking Ah Li.

Ye Chengyan's finger bones turned white while holding the official document.

His voice came out from between his teeth: "But Miss Chu Sixth is now engaged to the emperor's uncle, and she will soon be my aunt. How can I dare to ask her to do anything? In short, you only need to listen to my instructions.

But, there is no need for you to say anything else."

At this point, the prince already had the intention of punishing him, so Chu Ye couldn't say more.

He pursed his lips, then said goodbye and left.

Ye Chengyan was a little angry and threw the official documents on the case.

The attendant hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please calm down."

"My sixth sister climbed up a high branch, and he, Chu Ye, also became arrogant." Ye Chengyan said coldly.

"Your Highness, General Qiaoqi is also worried." The attendant said, "Indeed, asking Miss Six for help is much more trustworthy than that Taoist priest Xue."

"How could I not know this?" Ye Chengyan ground his molars, "It's not about the money, it's about her being engaged to the emperor's uncle. If she makes a contribution now, the emperor's uncle will take advantage of her."

The attendant was shocked, "Your Highness is afraid..."

Ye Chengyan glanced at him faintly, "When the Japanese prince wanted to bring her and her cousin together, who knew that the cousin had no intention of doing so. If the Nine Emperors Uncle was still a cripple, the prince would not have to be so concerned, but now... Chu

Nan Li actually helped Jiuhuangshu to break the curse and let him stand up again. If I don't consolidate my power, will my position as crown prince still be secure?"

When the attendant heard this, he was also frightened.

But he still swallowed and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to panic. If the Ninth Prince really had this intention, he should have taken action two years ago."

Ye Chengyan said: "That's because of the emperor's grandfather's plan! My father has been the crown prince for so many years. Even if the Nine Emperors Uncle wanted to usurp the throne, it would not be that easy. Moreover, at that time, the Emperor's grandfather passed away and the Nine Emperors Uncle was away fighting.

Even if he is thoughtful, he is unable to do anything at the same time."

But he was different. His father was in his prime and in good health, so there was no need for him, the prince, to assist in government affairs.

Naturally, he was unable to establish his own power. The people in the cabinet and the six ministries were all loyal to the emperor, not to him, the prince.

He now needs to cultivate his own power and make some achievements in front of his father and ministers before he can secure his position.

Never let Uncle Nine Emperors get another chance!

The attendant understood Ye Chengyan's plan and said: "Your Highness is wise, the Ninth Prince really needs to be on guard."

Because Yesi Heng is not only talented in literature and military skills, but also very young.

Once Emperor Muwu dies, Ye Chengyan may not be able to suppress Ye Siheng, so he should make plans now.

In fact, Ye Chengyan's idea is very simple. If Taoist priest Xue is available, then he can recommend Taoist priest Xue as the national master. Then his father will not have to think of Chu Nanli for everything.

This is of no harm to him.

Within two days, Liang Han came back.
