When Ye Yang returned to Ye Mansion, he found that Ye Junxiong and the others had been waiting in the front hall.
When they saw Ye Yang coming back safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
In this regard, Ye Yang also informed everyone of his conversation with Chu Haoyan without reservation.
"He actually has the nerve to talk about the territory of Tuochuan Grassland! It's really shameless!"
After hearing what Ye Yang said, Ye Junxiong suddenly looked angry.
"My lord, is there anything hidden in the Tuochuan grassland back then?"
Seeing Ye Junxiong curse angrily, Ye Yang couldn't help but ask.
Ye Han and others next to him also looked curious.
After Ye Junxiong pondered for a while, he said: "The Tuochuan Grassland was actually a small nomadic country in the past."
"Because we are caught at the junction between the two countries, in order to protect ourselves, we provide our Chu Yan Dynasty and Lu Yue Dynasty with some livestock and property every year."
"But later, in order to monopolize the tribute, the Chu royal family directly sent troops to occupy it and included it in the territory of the Chu Yan Dynasty."
"However, the appetite of those in the royal family is getting bigger and bigger. They double the tribute of property every year and even rob it by force."
"In the end, the people of Tuochuan grassland were forced to live in dire straits, so they rebelled and defected to the Lu Yue Dynasty."
Ye Junxiong snorted coldly, "If the royal family hadn't been too greedy, how could Tuochuan Grassland have been taken advantage of by the Lu Yue Dynasty?"
"Now, do they still have the nerve to want to come back?"
"In my opinion, Chu Haoyan is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking. Instead, he is planning to set up a trap for our Ye family."
Obviously, the old head of the family also saw this very clearly, and felt that Chu Haoyan must have other plans.
However, this situation is actually beneficial to the plan they are about to implement.
After all, Ye Yang agreed to fight this time without paying any price, but he got half a month of buffer time.
Ye Junxiong looked at Ye Yang and smiled solemnly, "The next step is up to you."
Ye Yang smiled and nodded, "Then without further ado, let's get started."
Everyone understood and walked out of the hall.
That night, I took advantage of the cover of night.
Master Cheng, with the cooperation of Ye Junxiong and others, began to inscribe the space teleportation array in the ancestral hall in the backyard of Ye Mansion.
In the area around the ancestral hall, all the idlers have been cleared away, and the Ye family secret guards led by An Jing are guarding the area.
In order to avoid prying eyes from high altitude, the ancestral hall area in the backyard is always covered with an isolation formation light curtain.
The whole process can be said to be carried out quietly.
It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that this tedious project was completed.
As for the royal family, just as expected, a minister from the Ministry of War was sent to formally issue military orders for the Ye family.
However, unexpectedly, this time Zhao Tao was still accompanying him.
Although Ye Junxiong has received the military order, the old eunuch has not left yet.
In the living room, various meaningless topics were chatted.
"Master Ye, I remember that when I was young, when the old slave was still following the late emperor, you already stole the show in hunting competitions."
Zhao Tao pinched the orchid with his fingers, took a sip from the tea cup, and said with emotion: "Time flies so fast, I didn't expect that sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye."
"Yes, time is not forgiving, and now I am a bad old man."
Ye Junxiong smiled perfunctorily, already cursing in his mind why this old eunuch talked so much nonsense.
If he hadn't been concerned about the construction of a space teleportation array in the backyard ancestral hall to avoid suspicion, he would have just thrown his head and left. There would be no spare time to waste time with this eunuch.
"I have come to Ye Mansion many times, but I have never really visited the environment inside the manor. I am very curious."
During the conversation, Zhao Tao suddenly changed the topic just right.
He stared at Ye Junxiong with narrowed eyes, and chuckled in a high-pitched voice: "If the Ye family master doesn't mind, can you show me your mansion and appreciate the style of the ancient martial arts family?"
Hearing these words, Ye Junxiong's heart sank.
What does this old eunuch want to do?
Could it be that he was suspicious of Ye Mansion and deliberately tested it?
As his thoughts changed, Ye Junxiong still had an expression on his face and sat calmly on the main seat.
"Since Eunuch Zhao is so elegant, I will visit it with you."
Ye Junxiong smiled calmly and acted very boldly.
Immediately, he stood up first and planned to take him for a walk to the martial arts training ground in the east courtyard.
"Since Master Ye is so enthusiastic, I would rather obey my orders than be respectful."
Eunuch Zhao put down the tea cup in his hand, then took the whisk and followed Ye Junxiong out of the hall with light steps.
The moment Zhao Tao stepped out of the threshold of the hall, the shadow behind him moved strangely and clung to the dark crack in the door.
After the two left, a man in black slowly appeared, his eyes as cold as a poisonous snake.
If Ye Han were here at this moment, he would definitely be shocked by his figure and appearance.
Because this person was the Wu Tian who he killed with his own hands in Jianzhu Forest!
But right now, this guy is not actually Wu Tian, but his twin brother, Wu Ye.
Its ability is also based on the shadow martial spirit.
But in terms of soul skills, he is even better than his brother Wu Tian, having developed the fifth-level phantom technique!
However, he saw that his body was filled with black energy and turned into a shadow. Immediately, the black shadow wriggled strangely, and his originally short figure turned into a tall and strong one.
Immediately afterwards, the facial features on his face also transformed into another appearance.
The whole demeanor is exactly the same as Ye Junxiong!
Wu Ye reached out and pinched his throat, coughed twice, and slightly adjusted his voice until it reached the same thick tone as Ye Junxiong.
After doing this, a cold smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he imitated the walking posture of the old master and walked out of the hall.
Standing outside the door, Wu Ye glanced briefly and quickly determined the direction.
The place we were walking was the ancestral hall area in the backyard of the mansion.
The royal family had always had spies in the Ye family. After reporting, not only had the guards at the ancestral hall been strengthened, but they also explicitly prohibited anyone from entering there.
At this juncture, Chu Haoyan was very suspicious, so he took advantage of the Ministry of War to send military orders and asked Zhao Tao and Wu Ye to come together to find out the truth.
Ye Mansion occupies a very large area. Ye Junxiong now led Zhao Tao to the east courtyard, while Wu Ye walked in the opposite direction to the backyard.
In the vast mansion, under normal circumstances, we will not meet each other.
Even if someone sees him, with his current appearance, most people won't notice anything unusual.
Just like this, when he walked to the corner of the corridor, he happened to meet several servants.
"Master of the family."
When they saw it was Ye Junxiong, the servants hurriedly bowed respectfully, not even daring to take a serious look.
It wasn't until Ye Junxiong walked away that they stood up straight and continued working.
After all, who would have expected that someone in the Ye family would dare to impersonate Ye Junxiong!
Moreover, Wu Ye's phantom technique is extremely superb, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
How could this group of servants with ordinary strength be seen?
