Lin Xiuyan nodded: "I'm absolutely sure."
Ye Junfei looked at her, and she smiled slightly at him. He glanced again at the eye-catching flower in his hand, chuckled, and helped her put the flower in her hair.
She also changed her appearance today, and the direction of her disguise was to become buried in the earth.
That once very pretty face, I don't know what she did to it, now looks yellowish-black, just like a country girl.
Wearing this yellow flower at this moment makes one exude an indescribable vulgarity.
Ye Junfei was simply unbearable to look at!
Lin Xiuyan saw his eccentric face, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and a smile spread across her eyes.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone walking over from the other side. Her eyesight was excellent, and she recognized the person in the lead as Princess Anle!
Princess Anle is dressed in men's clothing today.
He was already tall, and looked incredibly charming in women's clothing, but when he wore men's clothing, he didn't look out of place at all.
On the contrary, it seemed quite appropriate, making people feel that he should wear men's clothing.
Lin Xiuyan was somewhat surprised. Princess Anle's appearance here at this time was probably also for the purpose of taking advantage of Zhou Chenyang's troops.
Ye Junfei also saw Princess Anle, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Princess Anle sensed their gazes and looked over at them.
Just then, several people rode by on horseback, completely blocking their view.
After that group of people passed by, there was no one else there.
Princess Anle thought that he might have misread it, so she didn't think much of it and led her people into the restaurant.
Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei were currently in a nearby alley. (www.cascoo.net)
Lin Xiuyan said softly, "Princess Anle's arrival here at this time might cause some trouble."
Ye Junfei said calmly, "Zhou Chenyang has sided with Anle."
"Zhou Chenyang failed to obtain the Lin family's money, so he no longer had the funds to maintain this private army."
"If I'm not mistaken, Zhou Chenyang should have already told An Le about the location of this private army."
"Anle is probably here today to see Yu Zhan, the commander of this private army."
Wu Ge said with some concern, "If that's the case, it will be even more difficult to win Yu Zhan over."
Ye Junfei didn't speak, but he clearly agreed with what he said.
From Yu Zhan's perspective, he was originally Zhou Chenyang's private army commander, and obeyed Zhou Chenyang's orders.
Zhou Chenyang doesn't have enough money to support them anymore, so he should find someone with a stronger backing.
After all, Ye Junfei is currently just an unfavored heir in the Pingnan Prince's Mansion.
Not to mention, the emperor was still abolishing the feudal lords, and the Pingnan Prince's Mansion was just a feudal lord in the southwest of the Great Chu, and there was no way it could contend with the imperial court.
Unless Yu Zhan has a screw loose, it's highly unlikely he'd choose them.
Lin Xiuyan crossed her arms and said, "I don't think it's that absolute."
“Since Yu Zhan came from a bandit background, it means that he has a certain unruly nature and does not like to be controlled.”
“If he were willing to serve the court, he would have joined the army long ago, instead of becoming Zhou Chenyang’s private soldier.”
She had dealt with Yu Zhan in her previous life and knew that he was arrogant and unruly.
The reason he helped Zhou Chenyang was because he owed Zhou Chenyang's father a huge favor.
Zhou Chenyang cannot afford to support this private army right now, so he may not be willing to obey Princess Anle.
Ye Junfei said calmly, "You're right, but if Anle insists on getting involved, this matter will become very difficult to handle."
Lin Xiuyan knew why he said that, because this was a private army, a group of living, breathing people.
Even if Yu Zhan was unwilling to serve the court, not all the generals below him necessarily shared the same sentiment.
She smiled and said, "This is just our speculation. Now that Anle has arrived, we have no way out."
"Since we want this private army, we will get it by any means necessary."
Ye Junfei looked at her, and she shrugged: "Did I say something wrong?"
Ye Junfei smiled and said, "You're absolutely right."
Given his current situation, if he cannot become stronger, he will be in a very passive position.
If the Princess Consort of Pingnan dared to so openly send people to assassinate him this time, she might just lead her troops to ambush and kill them next time.
Unable to obtain troops from the Prince of Pingnan, he had no choice but to find a way to acquire them himself.
He was determined to take over Zhou Chenyang's private army.
Lin Xiuyan's gaze sharpened slightly, and she said softly, "In that case, let's discuss how to subdue Yu Zhan."
Ye Junfei nodded: "What are your thoughts?"
They had developed a plan before they came.
However, with the arrival of Princess Anle, they had to adjust their plans.
Furthermore, Lin Xiuyan suspected that Ye Junfei's guard had been bribed by Zhou Chenyang, and their whereabouts had been exposed.
The current situation is very unfavorable to them.
Lin Xiuyan glanced at the guard dressed as a peddler beside her and said with a smile, "My idea is very simple, which is to just beat Yu Zhan up."
"If he doesn't submit, then beat him until he does."
Ye Junfei said with a wry smile, "With his personality, I'm afraid you'll have a hard time subduing him."
Lin Xiuyan spread her hands: "Given the current situation, I can't think of a good solution right now."
Ye Junfei glanced at her. She was always full of ideas, so he didn't quite believe her when she said she had no ideas.
Before they could come up with a solution, they heard footsteps all around them.
Suddenly someone shouted, "They're spies! Arrest them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people dressed in military uniforms surrounded both ends of the alley.
Lin Xiuyan then realized that the word "spy" referred to them.
With their martial arts skills, they certainly wouldn't lose if they fought these soldiers.
But after this wave, it will attract even more people.
They only have so few people. No matter how good they are at fighting, they can't possibly defeat hundreds or thousands of people. They'd be exhausted to death.
So she shouted, "Let's split up and run!"
Before she ran, she grabbed Ye Junfei's hand and quickly wrote a few words. Ye Junfei's eyes turned slightly cold.
What she could think of, Ye Junfei could naturally think of as well.
He was afraid that something might happen to Lin Xiuyan, so he wanted to stay by her side, but he saw that she took advantage of her small and agile figure to avoid the soldiers and run away quickly.
Her movements were extremely fast; Ye Junfei only saw the large yellow flower on her head as she weaved through the crowd and quickly disappeared.
Ye Junfei was both amused and exasperated by the sight, but it was too late to chase after her.
He felt that the soldiers had arrived too quickly today, and that something was amiss.
Without saying a word, he used his light-footed skill to run away.
The soldier dressed as a peddler's eyes flickered slightly. He threw down his carrying pole, braced himself with one hand on the pole, and used that momentum to leap onto the roof and run away quickly.
