Liu Zhang told Murong Yan everything about how he had been followed over the past few days.

Ye Wanqing immediately stated that she didn't need to consider her feelings and would never condone Ye Fan hurting his friends again.

She didn't know yet that Ye Fan had killed Lin Fuxue's father in the Cliff Corridor. Just because he had repeatedly assisted the Third Prince, assassinated Liu Zhang, and colluded with the Third Prince again after returning, she could no longer forgive him.

Liu Zhang suggested: "Let's find a way to capture him."

"His martial arts skills are too high. It will be difficult to capture him unless we injure him." Murong Yan stroked his chin in thought, then said, "Furthermore, the Imperial City Guard, the River Patrol, and the Imperial Guard have all been replaced by Murong Yao's trusted confidants recently. He will definitely make a big move soon."

"Does Your Highness have any countermeasures?" Liu Zhang frowned slightly. His cousin had finally taken this step. It seemed that his father, the former Minister Liu, had done a lot of tricks in the Western Wilderness.

Even though he was demoted to the Western Wilderness, he still refused to give up?

"Father has long been on guard against him. I'm just worried something might happen."

Liu Zhang then asked, "Is there any movement at the Dongyi Jiangyu Tower?"

"The situation isn't looking good. He assembled a 200,000-man Black Sail Army to retake power in Dongyi City. It's said he also recovered General Yuewei and his son. I have a feeling Murong Yao is responsible for the death of the Xiling City Lord."

"Otherwise, let my father lead the 400,000 southern border troops back to the city to protect the emperor."

Murong Yan immediately rejected Ye Wanqing's proposal, "That won't work. With 400,000 Southern Border troops pressing into Yong'an City, if Murong Yao does nothing, the Marquis will be considered a rebel."

Liu Zhang said with a hint of worry: "Then isn't our current situation too passive?"

"It's alright. I've almost completed my deployment in the Western Wasteland. It's just that the timing is not right yet, so we shouldn't alert the enemy."

"But during this period of time, if Murong Yao suddenly takes action, wouldn't we be in great danger?"

Murong Yan chuckled, "My third brother is not a reckless person. He is much more cautious than me in every step he takes. He will never act rashly without complete confidence."

Liu Zhang frowned, "If we continue to delay like this, I'm afraid the night will be long and full of dreams. Why don't we give him another flaw?"

"If we can't kill him in one blow, there will be endless trouble. Now that your Liu family has a new patriarch, their influence is growing. Third brother has the support of the Liu family. It will be difficult for you and me to completely overthrow them."

Ye Wanqing nodded in understanding, "We should find a way to capture Brother Ye Fan first. If we can convince him to help us, perhaps the situation won't be so bad."

Liu Zhang immediately said, "He's coming for me. I can use myself as bait to lure him out, and then wait for an opportunity to capture him."

A Rao and Murong Yan said in unison: "No."

Murong Yan advised, "Ye Fan's martial arts skills are too high. You don't have any martial arts skills, so it's too dangerous to get close to him."

A Rao also quickly grabbed Liu Zhang's hand and shook her head, "Brother Zhang, don't go."

"Don't worry, I was not prepared last time. I, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, have been fighting against vicious criminals for so many years. If I could be stabbed to death so easily, all the cases I have worked on for so many years would have been solved in vain." Liu Zhang patted A Rao's hand gently, signaling her not to worry.

He told several people the specific plan, including how to prevent him from escaping.

Several people nodded and quickly deployed according to Liu Zhang's plan.

Soon, A Rao and Ye Wanqing left the teahouse first and left in a carriage.

Not long after, Murong Yan, his guards and Liu Zhang parted ways at the entrance of the teahouse.

Liu Zhang stood at the door for a moment, glanced at the figure hiding in the dark and ready to move, and walked calmly towards the Liu Mansion Villa.

Ye Fan and Song Lin looked at each other, put on their masks, and quickly followed.

After following him into an alley, Song Lin realized something was wrong.

But Liu Zhang in front suddenly stopped.

"What can I do for you two gentlemen who have followed me all the way?" Liu Zhang's voice was indifferent, without any anger or emotion.

Ye Fan had already clenched the spear in his hand and said angrily: "I'm here to kill you!"

Song Lin hurriedly stopped Ye Fan from moving forward and said in a low voice, "Brother Ye, be careful, there might be an ambush."

He looked around, searching for an opportunity to escape.

"So it's General Ye, here to avenge your father again? But I certainly wasn't the one who killed your father." Liu Zhang said calmly, "If you trust me, I can go to the Dali Temple and show you the case file. If there's anything you don't understand, I can explain it to you one by one."

Song Lin was slightly stunned. He wanted to open his mouth to discuss with Ye Fan, but he heard Ye Fan angrily say: "The case file is all your one-sided statement. The pen is in your hand. You can write whatever you want. Go to the Dali Temple as you like. Who knows what you are planning!"

"General Ye, I haven't investigated the matter of you stabbing me last time. General, if you assassinate an official of the third rank or above, you will be beheaded according to the law."

"Then why don't you pay for your life when you killed my father?"

"I've already said this, General Ye, you have no evidence. I didn't kill Commander Ye. At the time of the crime, I was at the Tingnan Marquis's Mansion. Lord Shen and all the servants in the mansion can testify to this."

Ye Fan confronted him excitedly, "The Dali Temple is full of your people. Even if you didn't do it yourself, your people would have followed your instructions. My father's body was clearly tortured. You wanted to force him to confess, so you tortured him. When my father refused, you ordered him to be poisoned to exonerate him!"

"The procedure for the joint trial of the three courts for my father's corruption case was proposed by me. If I wanted to use my personal connections to help my father get rid of the crime, why would I have proposed the joint trial of the three courts?" Liu Zhang stood up straight and insisted.

"Also, did your father really not participate in the assassination of the crown prince? Don't you have any idea of ​​what's going on?

The people you attacked in the alley that day were Young Master Ling from the Prince's Mansion and Princess Shen from the Tingnan Marquis Mansion.

General Ye, I have repeatedly released you, hoping that you would mend your ways, but why are you so stubborn and refusing to repent?

"That incident was clearly planned by you! You wanted to frame someone else!"

"Brother Ye, he wants to delay time. Let's not waste time talking to him. Let's tie him up first!" Song Lin strode forward, trying to subdue Liu Zhang.

Three secret guards flew down and attacked Song Lin fiercely.

Song Lin dodged, avoiding Wushuang's slashing Miao Dao. He drew his sword to block the iron claw attack from another secret guard.

"Humph, there is indeed an ambush!" Ye Fan was also angry and joined the battle with a swung spear.

He kicked the white-clothed secret guard who was using the string-like weapon away and strode towards Liu Zhang with a gun in hand.

Seeing this, Wushuang hurriedly stood in front of Liu Zhang and used her Miao Dao to block Ye Fan's spear.

"Master Liu, run!"
