"Master, something bad is going to happen! Something is going to go wrong!"
Ye Chen, who was practicing in the room, heard the exclamations from the slaves outside the door. He frowned involuntarily, got up, walked out of the room, looked at the anxious slaves, and said in shock: "What happened?"
What's going on? What all the fuss is about!"
"Young Master, I am seriously injured and dying. I am frozen in a crystal coffin!"
After hearing Ye Chen's question, the servant who came to report the news said anxiously with an expression on his face that the sky was falling.
Ye Ying is the pillar of Ye Mansion and the spiritual symbol of Ye Mansion. The news that Ye Ying is seriously injured and dying is a huge disaster for everyone in Ye Mansion, making them confused about the future.
"What did you say? My father is seriously injured and dying!"
As soon as the slave finished speaking, Ye Chen rushed to him and asked with a look of disbelief.
"Yes, young master, the master's coffin is parked in the hall!"
Seeing Ye Chen's unkind expression, the servant said quickly.
Ye Chen didn't wait for the slave to finish his words, and quickly used the wind technique, turning into an afterimage, disappearing in place, and galloping towards the hall.
When Ye Chen rushed to the hall of Ye Mansion, the hall had been blocked by a guard wearing armor and holding a sword. A slave named Ye Mansion stretched his head and looked into the hall with a look of panic.
, I want to take a closer look at Ye Ying to determine whether he is really dying.
"What are you doing standing here? Leave now!"
Seeing many slaves gathered in front of the hall, Ye Chen's face turned cold and he scolded loudly.
After dispersing the slaves gathered in front of the hall, Ye Chen passed over the guards guarding the side and entered the hall.
"What exactly is going on?"
Ye Chen, who entered the hall, glanced at Ye Ying lying in the crystal coffin, frowned slightly, turned his gaze to a big man in black armor and said.
Ye Chen clearly knew that his father had eighteen personal guards, each of whom had the strength of a ninth-level warrior, and the captain of the guard among them had a ninth-level peak and could break through to become a saint at any time.
A strong warrior.
Therefore, when Ye Ying was seriously injured and dying, lying in the crystal coffin unable to move, Ye Chen had no choice but to turn his questioning eyes to the chief guard of Ye Ying's eighteen personal guards.
"You all get out!"
Seeing that the big man in black armor was hesitant to speak and just glanced at the housekeeper and others in the hall, Ye Chen waved his hand and asked the housekeeper and others to leave the hall, leaving only eighteen black-armored guards.
"No one else can tell the details of how my father was injured now."
After the last steward of the Ye Mansion left the hall, Ye Chen closed the door of the hall and turned his attention to the big man in black armor.
"Yes, young master!" The big man in black armor responded softly and began to talk.
"More than two months ago, the Zhao State's army mobilized frequently and massed heavy troops at the northern border of our country, with the intention of attacking the northern provinces of our country. Therefore, His Majesty Wu Guo of our country ordered your Excellency to lead the army to the northern border to take a stand to resist possible attacks by Zhao State.
attack.
Who knows, your Excellency has just led his army to the northern border of our country, and before it has joined up with the Imperial Northern Army stationed in the northern province, he was ambushed by the Zhao army in a grand canyon in our country, and his Excellency was also attacked by three Zhao Guosheng
Under the siege of the powerful men, in the end, the master killed two Zhao Guosheng level experts and forced back one Zhao Guosheng level powerhouse at the cost of serious injuries.
After your Excellency repelled Zhao's army ambushing in the Grand Canyon, you realized that the ambush was probably caused by a spy within our Wu Kingdom. You informed Zhao of your marching route. Thinking that there was about to be a change in our Wu Kingdom, you ordered
We don't want to continue to go deep into the northern border of the empire. Let us lead the army to divert and return to the imperial capital.
After giving the instructions, the master sealed himself in the crystal coffin and warned us not to open the crystal coffin without authorization. After his injuries recovered, he would open the crystal coffin by himself. If we opened the crystal coffin without authorization, we would probably be able to do it.
Let it sleep forever and never wake up.
After your Majesty sealed himself in the crystal coffin, Deputy Commander Han Ming disobeyed your Majesty's instructions and led his army further into the northern border without authorization. However, we followed your Majesty's instructions and returned to the imperial capital with the crystal coffin."
After listening to the words of the big man in black armor, Ye Chen held his chin with his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and his head was running rapidly, thinking about the conspiracy hidden in it and the situation that his family might encounter.
When Ye Chen was thinking about what the big man in black armor said, the voice of the old housekeeper of the Ye Mansion came from outside the hall: "Young Master, His Majesty the Wu Kingdom has led all the ministers of the Wu Kingdom to visit the master. Please also ask the young master to open the door of the hall as soon as possible.
Come out and greet us.”
Hearing the words of the old housekeeper of the Ye Mansion, Ye Chen responded lightly and ordered the black-armored man to seal his father in front of the crystal coffin. He concealed the news about the upcoming changes in the Wu Kingdom, as well as the deputy commander Han Ming's disobedience to his father's orders.
After coming down, he opened the door of the hall and went out to greet His Majesty King Wu and all the ministers of the Kingdom of Wu.
"Ye Chen, don't worry, I will investigate your father's ambush in detail, and I will definitely give you an explanation!"
After confirming that Ye Ying was seriously injured and dying, he might die at any time, and might not be able to wake up from the crystal coffin for the rest of his life, and after learning the details of Ye Ying's serious injury from the mouth of the black-armored man, His Majesty King Wu patted Ye Ying gently.
Chen shoulder, loudly assured.
After His Majesty King Wu, other ministers of the Kingdom of Wu expressed their condolences to Ye Chen, and then followed His Majesty King Wu away.
After King Wu and all the ministers left the Ye Mansion, Ye Chen returned to the hall with a gloomy face, quietly looked at Ye Ying who was sleeping in the crystal coffin, and said lightly: "You used to take care of me.
Me, let me take care of you now!"
After saying that, Ye Chen asked Ye Ying's eighteen personal guards to guard the crystal coffin in the hall. He then returned to the room, sat cross-legged on the ground, took a golden marrow pill, grabbed a top-quality spiritual stone in each hand, and began to practice Xuantian.
What a miracle.
After Ye Chen knew that his father was seriously injured and dying, and he would probably not be able to wake up from his deep sleep for the rest of his life, Ye Mansion would be plunged into a huge crisis. Former enemies and nobles who peeked at Ye Mansion's huge industry and family property would feel like they smelled something fishy.
Like a smelly wild cat, it rushed towards Ye Fu, trying to tear off a few pieces of flesh from himself and Ye Fu.
Facing the coming crisis, Ye Chen did not choose to find a backer, but chose to practice and strengthen himself, because he knew that relying on others was never as good as relying on himself. At the same time, the cost of finding a backer was too high, so much so that he would rather leave the imperial capital.
The point!
At ten o'clock in the evening, the old housekeeper hurriedly knocked on Ye Chen's door.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
After opening the room, Ye Chen looked at the anxious old housekeeper with a puzzled expression.
"Master, the heads of the eighteen chambers of commerce under the Ye Mansion have all submitted applications to the Ye Mansion, requesting to terminate the cooperation agreement with our Ye Mansion. Among them, the Anlie family of the eighteen chambers of commerce did not wait for our Ye Mansion to come in.
By signing the application form, all of our Ye family’s shares in the Anlie Family Chamber of Commerce will be given to the Chen family for free!
At the same time, according to the news from our Ye family's hidden line in the palace, the Imperial Minister of Military Affairs, the Imperial Minister of Finance, the Imperial Prime Minister, and many imperial ministers all suggested to His Majesty King Wu to let His Majesty Wu take back our Ye family's management of the Ye family's army.
We have the right to take back our Ye family’s mansion in the imperial capital and eight manors in the suburbs.
As compensation, the ministers of the empire suggested that His Majesty Wu Guo confer the title of Marquis on the young master, and grant Linhai County as the young master's fiefdom, which would govern Linhai County and the thousands of miles of sea territory around Linhai County for the empire.
However, there was a riot in Linhai County ten years ago, and the imperial army was driven out of Linhai County. The entire Linhai County has become the territory of aliens, pirates and criminals, and the empire is unable to control it. It is no exaggeration to say that Linhai County has already
No longer within the empire's territory.
If the young master is really made a marquis and given Linhai County as a fiefdom, then the empire is using territory that does not belong to the empire in exchange for our Ye Mansion's 10,000 elite Ye family troops and all Ye Mansion's real estate in the imperial capital.
Also, according to the information sent back by our Ye Mansion's spies in the Ye Family Army, all ten captains of the 10,000 Ye Family Army trained by General Zhenguo have all taken refuge under the Imperial Minister of Military Affairs, and may change their banners at any time.
, became the private army of the Minister of Military Affairs.”
The old housekeeper quickly rushed into Ye Chen's room and closed the door, saying with a sad and angry look.
