At present, the Song Dynasty is plagued by internal problems, with clear factions, endless struggles, and officials protecting each other. In the north, there is the barbarian Liao, in the west, the powerful Xia, in the southwest, Tubo and in the south, it can be said that it is facing internal and external troubles. The appearance of the descendant of the plum blossom who has disappeared for more than a hundred years is just in time.

He was ordered to find the successor of Plum Blossom and stop the fox from obtaining the legendary treasure, in order to prevent the fox from starting a rebellion too early and disrupting His Majesty's plans.

Your Majesty has laid out a plan to quell internal and external troubles.

He, Liu Feixu, Nie Huaixin and many unnamed people are all actors and pawns in this game, and each of them has a heavy responsibility.

To conquer the country, one must first stabilize the external situation. This is why he, who did not like fighting, had to inherit the Ye family's military power and become the commander-in-chief of the Ye family army. That was also why he went to the Northern Liao two years ago.

His parents thought that he volunteered to fight against Bei Liao because he was sad about Hua Fushu running away from marriage. In fact, it was not entirely true. He went to the battle in order to become the commander-in-chief of the Ye family army.

Only if he demonstrates his abilities can he become the head coach of the Ye family army.

It was because of his three victories in the expedition to Northern Liao that His Majesty bestowed upon him the rank of third-rank general.

He showed excessive talent in his first expedition and almost died at the hands of the fox. In order to protect him, His Majesty did not let him lead the troops, but gave him the right to mobilize any army. However, His Majesty did not announce his right to mobilize any army to the world, so the fox faction and the world thought that he was a general in name only.

He retreated behind the scenes and stayed out of the government. The calmer the situation, the less likely the fox would attack him. Only then could he complete his plan without making a sound.

As for the struggle for military power of the Ye family, he is bound to take part. As long as the military power is still in the hands of the Ye family, the fox will not dare to act rashly. Only when the military power is in his hands can this situation be better completed and internal troubles be quelled.

His father had always wanted to hand over the military power to him, but he also knew that it would not be so easy to hand over the military power to him, because his grandfather hoped that Ye Songyan would inherit the Ye family and become the new generation commander of the Ye family army, and Ye Songyan himself also had the ambition to inherit the Ye family.

There are two reasons why he did not follow his father's wishes to inherit the Ye family and become the new generation coach of the Ye family army:

One reason is because of the plan set by Your Majesty, and the other is because of his grandfather.

His grandfather devoted all his energy to training Ye Songyan so that he could become the head coach of the Ye Family Army. However, Ye Songyan was not favored by his father. If he wanted to inherit the Ye Family, he could not rely on his grandfather alone. He had to get the approval of his father and the Ye Family Army. It was easy to get the approval of the Ye Family Army, but it was extremely difficult to get his father's approval.

If Ye Songyan wants to gain his father's approval, he must prove his ability.

The less he fights, the more the fox relaxes its vigilance against him, the safer he will be and the greater his chance of inheriting the Ye family. However, he will definitely not let Ye Songyan become the commander-in-chief of the Ye family army and command hundreds of thousands of lions.

The fox started an uprising and seized the Song Dynasty, which required food and military pay. His Majesty stopped the fox from stealing the national treasury and prevented the fox from targeting the descendants of plum blossoms and treasures. He wanted to stop the fox from looking for the descendants of plum blossoms and treasures and smash the fox's conspiracy.

Once the fox gets the treasure, it will be soon time for him to start a rebellion.

The safety of the Song Dynasty is closely related to the treasure hunt, and the fox must not be allowed to get the treasure.

Ye Zelin looked at the fourth mural again, which depicted a palace called Zhiyang Palace.

According to the information he had, Zhiyang Palace was the bedroom of Princess Zhiyang of Northern Tang, and this Princess Zhiyang was the princess who married the first generation heir of plum blossoms.

He began to wonder why the descendants of Meihua built such a basement, and why they only engraved the names of the ancestor of Meihua and the eighth generation of Meihua descendants, but not other generations of Meihua descendants.

If the first and eighth generations of plum blossom inheritors were engraved on the mural simply because of their outstanding contributions, there would be nothing wrong with that.

But why is the fourth mural depicting Princess Zhiyang’s bedroom? Is the mural in this secret room related to the treasure?

Suddenly, Ye Zelin became ecstatic and laughed out loud. He thought he probably guessed where the treasure was hidden.

Since the time of Emperor Taizu, the descendant of Meihua has lived in seclusion in Luoyang. The information he obtained did not say that the treasure was hidden in Luoyang. However, among all the information about the tombs of the Northern Tang royal family, the only one missing was the tomb of Princess Zhiyang. So far, no one knows where the tomb of Princess Zhiyang is.

If the heir of Meihua hid the treasure, wouldn’t Princess Zhiyang’s tomb be the best place to hide it?

If the tomb of Princess Zhiyang is the underground palace where the treasure is hidden, it means that if we find the tomb of Princess Zhiyang, we can find the treasure!

But Ye Zelin soon became troubled. Where was Princess Zhiyang's tomb located?

But he was not depressed all the time. He smiled the next moment and thought that if he could find the descendants of Meihua, he might know where the tomb of Princess Zhiyang was.

Right now, the most urgent task is how to find the descendants of plum blossoms.

Ye Zelin never expected that his trip to Luoyang would bring him such great gains. He blew out the fire stick, then left the basement, turned on the switch, and the rockery returned to its original state. Ye Zelin left quickly.

As he took the last step out of the ruins, a figure walked out from behind him.

When Ye Zelin returned to the inn, it was already nightfall. Hua Fushu had taken a nap and strolled back. At this time, he was having dinner with Sanqiao and Side.

Seeing someone approaching, Hua Fushu waved and was about to call for help. Ye Zelin's lips curved slightly, but who knew that Hua Fushu was not calling him, "Xiao Si, it's time to eat!"

Ye Zelin was slightly startled. Ye Songyan had already walked past him. Hua Fushu ignored him and asked the waiter to add another bowl of rice and let Ye Songyan sit next to her.

Seeing this, Si De felt that the young master was a little unhappy, so he stood up and walked over. He said, "Young master, it's time to eat."

He called the waiter and ordered another bowl of rice.

Ye Zelin didn't seem to have a good appetite. He felt full after eating only a few mouthfuls of rice and a few dishes. He said, "You wait and eat slowly," and stood up and left the table.

Ye Songyan was quite puzzled, "What happened to Second Brother?"

Hua Fushu only glanced at Ye Zelin and said, "He must have come back after eating. Why do you care about him?"

Si De couldn't bear to listen, so he replied to Hua Fushu, "What are you saying, young lady? Can't you see that the young master is unhappy?"

He glanced at Ye Songyan intentionally or unintentionally.

Hua Fushu replied to Side angrily, "Which eye of yours can tell that he's unhappy? I think he's very happy!"

Si De instantly lost his appetite and got up and left.

Hua Fushu said, "Eat it if you want or not, forget it if you don't want to!" They all finished the meal.

Inside the house, Ye Zelin's mind replayed the scene of kissing Hua Fushu that day, and a beautiful smile rose in his eyes. Suddenly, he unconsciously thought of Hua Fushu and Ye Song talking and laughing, so intimate, and then he frowned and sighed.

Si De came in carrying food and heard him sigh, so he said, "Sir, are you thinking about the young lady?"

Ye Zelin turned around and saw that it was Si De. He said calmly, "You are becoming even less able to speak."

Si De laughed and said, "It's not that Si De can't speak, but that you are not aware of your own greed."
