Taiping Lie 371. The whereabouts of the young master, causing another disturbance

After hearing what Ye Li said, Zhuo Jing and Wei Rui turned their heads and glanced at the magnificent attic not far away. They were still superior to Ye Li in terms of internal strength. If Ye Li could hear Helian Zhen's laughter, they could also hear it clearly. Wei Rui frowned and whispered, "Sir, do you want to..." Ye Li smiled and waved his hands, carefully picked up the words he had just written and hung them in the wind, just like any ordinary rich young man in the garden.

Although Ye Li was dressed in white and looked elegant and graceful, which made many girls blush, the two guards beside him were obviously not good people, which made many people who originally wanted to approach him to talk to him stop in their tracks.

Zhuo Jing and Wei Rui looked at the people around them and couldn't help but admire their princess's careful planning. Zhuo Jing had a three-inch scar on his handsome face. The scar, coupled with his cold expression, made people feel terrified at a glance. Although Wei Rui had a perfect handsome face, his gray hair and orchid eyes made him look very handsome. Although there were many people of all races in Licheng, the people of Licheng were used to it, but Nanjing was different. At least it would be no problem to scare these ladies who were raised in seclusion.

Although Wei Rui and Zhuo Jing had questioned whether such a dress was too conspicuous and easy to attract attention. However, Ye Li smiled lightly and said, "It is precisely because a subtle move will never attract such attention, so such a high-profile move is naturally not a subtle move." Even if Mo Jingli racked his brains, he would never have thought that Ye Li would appear in front of him in a man's clothing. Sure enough, such a unique and high-profile two guards, coupled with the unique and noble temperament of the young master of the Chu family in white clothes, seemed to be above everyone else. People who saw them not only did not find it strange, but also took it for granted that this was the style of a young master from a famous family. They always praised the Chu family for being a famous family with a long history in the Great Chu.

"This young man writes great poems." When Ye Li put down the scroll in her hand and was about to leave, a familiar female voice came from behind her. Turning back, she saw Dong Fang You in white standing not far away, staring at her. Ye Li knew that it was probably her face that caused the trouble, but she didn't care. Anyway, she had to find a chance to get close to Dong Fang You. Now that Dong Fang You was willing to come over, it would be the best. She smiled faintly and bowed, "Lord Chu has only met the Regent Princess."

Hearing the words "Princess Regent", Dongfang You frowned unconsciously and nodded, "Chu Junwei? But he is the son of the Chu family in Yunzhou? How is the third son of the Chu family, Weiyun?"

Ye Li showed a trace of doubt on his face, and smiled at Dong Fangyou and said, "So the princess knows Master Weiyun? However... Although I have not interacted with my brothers in the past few years, I still remember that Weiyun is the fourth child, and the third brother is famous for his reputation." Ye Li didn't care about Dong Fangyou's test. Since he was going to pretend to be Chu Junwei, how could the Dingwang Mansion not be prepared? Not to mention Chu Junwei's identity, even his parents' lives were arranged long ago. Ye Li naturally remembered clearly who the Chu family was.

Dong Fangyou didn't take it seriously and said calmly, "Maybe I remembered it wrongly. I met Mr. Chu Si once a few years ago."

Ye Li laughed inwardly. Dongfang You's words were too shameless. Who didn't know that Dongfang You had just left Cangmang Mountain this year? How could she have met Chu Weiyun a few years ago? Moreover, how old was Dongfang You a few years ago? Ye Li naturally would not expose her words. She smiled gently and said, "I wonder if the princess has any advice?"

Dongfang You remained silent. In fact, she didn't know what she wanted to say. It was just that when she passed by just now, she saw the faint smile on the face of the young man in white and somehow thought of another man who seemed to always be dressed in white. That's why she couldn't help but speak. After a moment of silence, Dongfang You said, "Young Master Chu has lived in Yunzhou for generations. If there is any inconvenience in your first visit to Nanjing, you can send someone to the Prince Regent's Mansion to find me."

Ye Li was slightly startled, then immediately smiled and said, "You are too polite, Princess. Thank you very much. If there is anything really troublesome, I will trouble you again."

Dongfang You stared at her blankly, and said faintly: "If he is like you..." He suddenly realized it halfway through his words, so there was no need to say the rest. Ye Li pretended not to hear it, and smiled gently, "Princess, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first?"

Dongfang You nodded and said, "Sorry to bother you, sir. I'll leave first."

"Princess, take care. I won't see you off." Ye Li said with a bow. Looking at Dongfang You's departing figure, Zhuo Jing said with some doubt: "Sir, this Dongfang You seems... a little abnormal."

"It's more than abnormal." Wei Rui said, "The way she looked at you just now was so creepy. The fifth master is right. The eldest master is so unlucky to have offended such a woman." Just now, seeing the way Dong Fangyou looked at the princess, even outsiders like them couldn't help but shudder in their hearts. It was rare that the princess could still maintain such a calm and composed look. More importantly, the princess was still a stranger who only met Master Qingchen once and had a bit of resemblance to him. If she faced Master Qingchen... Wei Rui couldn't help but shudder. I hope Master Qingchen has never seen Dong Fangyou like this.

Ye Li sighed softly and said with some regret: "One thought can make you a Buddha, one thought can make you a devil..."

Zhuo Jing said, "Young Master, what you mean is that Dongfang You became a demon because he couldn't get the love of the eldest young master?"

Ye Li closed the folding fan in her hand and said, "In any case, we must find Big Brother as soon as possible. Seeing Dong Fang You's current state, she may not be able to bear it anymore. Let the people following Dong Fang You keep a close eye on her."

"Yes." Zhuo Jing replied.

Prince Regent's Palace

In the study, Dong Fangyou looked expressionlessly at Mo Jingli, who was talking nonstop with a confident look on his face, but his mind had already drifted to an unknown place. Mo Jingli stopped and glanced at Dong Fangyou, who was obviously in a trance, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his face.

Now Mo Jingli's opinion of Dong Fangyou has really dropped to the lowest point. If possible, Mo Jingli would even want to kill the woman in front of him immediately. This woman has the power that makes the world envy and covet, but she does nothing but focus on a man who doesn't even look at her. Not only has she used all means, but she has also become crazy, vicious and violent. If he didn't want to conflict with Dong Fangyou, Mo Jingli really wanted to tell Dong Fangyou that from a man's point of view, the more she clings to him, the more Xu Qingchen will hate her.

"This prince has decided to form an alliance with Xiling and Beirong. Where did you hide Master Qingchen? Hand him over to me immediately. I can use him." Mo Jingli suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice. He dared to capture Xu Qingchen not to use him to please this woman. Xu Qingchen can be said to be the third important person in Dingwang Mansion besides Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li. With him in hand, many things will be much more convenient.

Dongfang You's eyes flickered, and he said unhappily: "I told you, I don't know."

Mo Jingli sneered and said, "Do you think I'm a fool? Dongfangyou, I'm doing this for you to give you face. Jiangnan is my place. Do you think I can't find it if you don't tell me?" Seeing Mo Jingli like this, Dongyou was no longer polite and said coldly, "Then I'm also warning you, if you dare to touch him, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Mo Jingli already understood Dong Fangyou's character. He took a deep breath and said mockingly, "Even if you don't give him to me, what do you want? Lock him up for life? Do you think everyone in Ding Wangfu is dead? Maybe people from Ding Wangfu are already all over Jiangnan looking for him. With the ability of Ding Wangfu's secret guards, how long do you think it will take them?"

Dongfang You was silent for a while, then looked up at Mo Jingli and said proudly, "Don't waste your time. No one can find him unless I want to."

Mo Jingli finally couldn't help it, and glared at Dong Fangyou fiercely for a long time before he said coldly, "Dong Fangyou, just hold Xu Qingchen and die. I'm afraid Xu Qingchen doesn't even want to die with you."

After saying that, without paying attention to what Dongfangyou said, he turned around and slammed the study door shut.

Mo Jingli walked quickly in the Prince Li's mansion. Even from his back, one could see the rage in his eyes. The confidant behind him looked at each other worriedly and asked cautiously, "Prince, where is the princess..."

Mo Jingli paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about her! Let her go if she wants to go out in the future. I want to see how long she can endure it!" The person behind him nodded and said, "Your Highness is wise. Considering her feelings for Master Qingchen, I'm sure she won't be able to endure it for long. We can just follow behind and take advantage of her."

Although he had no feelings for Dongfang You, she was still his legitimate wife after all. When his subordinates told him about Dongfang You's obsession with Master Qingchen, Mo Jingli's face turned even uglier, and he snorted and walked away.

Mo Jingli was busy with the alliance with Xiling and Beirong, and didn't have much time to care about Dongfangyou. He just sent someone to keep an eye on her. However, the court was in chaos because of a fierce bomb thrown by Mo Jingli. Not to mention those old ministers who had a good impression of Prince Ding's Mansion, even those who supported Mo Jingli couldn't help but look at the smug Prince Regent in the court with a madman's eyes.

Mo Jingli had just announced the alliance with Xiling Beirong, and before he had time to tell his great ambitions and plans, someone from His Highness stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, this is absolutely not allowed!"

As soon as Mo Jingli saw the person in front of him, his face darkened immediately. If Mo Jingli still didn't know who was supporting the Queen Mother behind the scenes after dealing with her for so long, all these years would be in vain. Mo Jingqi had a falling out with the Queen Mother during his lifetime, and the Queen Mother's original wings were also removed by him. Under such circumstances, there was no one else except Prince Ding's Mansion who could allow the Queen Mother to stand her ground in and out of the court. Therefore, Mo Jingli directly regarded the Queen Mother's people as Mo Xiuyao's people, and naturally wanted to skin them alive. He looked at the people of His Highness coldly and asked, "Why not?"

The ministers who stepped out of the line said solemnly: "Xi Ling and Bei Rong have divided our territory and killed our subjects. Your Majesty is the regent of Great Chu and is in charge of the fate of Great Chu. How can you form an alliance with them? How is this different from acknowledging a thief as your father?"

"How dare you!" Mo Jingli shouted angrily, his face turning black with anger.

"Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely right. Please think twice." Everyone said in unison.

Mo Jingli looked carefully and found that more than 80% of the courtiers knelt down in support of the proposal, and even the remaining 20% ​​had disapproval on their faces. In fact, when he agreed to form an alliance with Xiling and Beirong, Mo Jingli knew that this would be the inevitable result. But when he really saw so many people against him, the feeling that everyone in the world was against him still made Mo Jingli furious. He stared at the courtiers kneeling on the ground with a stern look and said, "Xiling and Beirong are enemies of Da Chu? Are Ding Wangfu not? Isn't the place that Mo Xiuyao is occupying now Da Chu? This prince would like to know, to Da Chu or Ding Wangfu are you loyal?"

Such a heart-breaking statement immediately chilled the hearts of many old officials in the court. Many of them had served two or even three dynasties. If they had not been thinking about the Great Chu, they would have directly joined the Ding Palace. Even if they could not get important positions, they could at least spend their old age in peace. But now, just because they disobeyed the wishes of the Li King, they were accused of being disloyal to the Great Chu. How could they not feel depressed? Moreover, the decision of the Li King to form an alliance with the Xiling Beirong was a big mistake. No matter who won or lost in the end, it would be infamous for thousands of years.

"We, the old ministers, have absolutely no intention of doing so, but it is impossible to form an alliance with Xiling Beirong. Please think twice, Regent!" All the ministers bowed in unison.

Mo Jingli waved his sleeves unhappily and said, "I have made up my mind. There is no need to discuss it further." As he spoke, Mo Jingli's eyes swept over the little emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair and whose eyes were beginning to accumulate tears because of the sudden change in the atmosphere. A dark light flashed in Mo Jingli's eyes, and he walked to the little emperor and asked in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, what do you think of my decision?"

The little emperor Mo Suyun had always been very afraid of this uncle, the regent prince. When Mo Jingli stared at him like this, he immediately burst into tears. Mo Jingli glanced at him with disgust and roared in a deep voice: "Why are you crying? You are the emperor, how can you behave like this in front of the ministers! I am asking you a question?" The little emperor was frightened and choked. His tearful face suddenly turned red. He choked and said: "Uncle... wuwu, what the uncle said... is right..."

Mo Jingli snorted, glanced at the people in the palace and said, "Did you hear that? This is the emperor's will. You don't want to respect the king's will, so you want to disobey the emperor's will?" The ministers were speechless. The little emperor was only eight or nine years old, and he had been frightened by Mo Jingli in the past two years. Even if the queen mother tried hard to teach him, it was useless. He was even worse than an ordinary eight or nine-year-old child. But what could they say? Say that the emperor is still young and ignorant? What they said doesn't count? Several old ministers could only sigh in their hearts that the young master was isolated and the powerful ministers were stealing the country.

"Prince Li, what do you want to do?" The Queen Mother walked out from the back of the palace and looked at her only son coldly.

When Mo Jingli saw the Queen Mother coming out, his face darkened and he said lightly, "The harem cannot interfere in government affairs. What is your mother doing in the front court at this time?" The little emperor Mo Suyun saw that the Queen Mother's tears, which had just stopped, suddenly flowed again. He looked at the Queen Mother and burst into tears, "Wuwu, Royal Grandmother... Grandson is afraid..." Looking at Mo Jingli's cold eyes, the Queen Mother felt that her eyes were black. She only had Mo Jingli as her son now. If possible, how could she not hope to get along with her son in harmony? But when Mo Jingqi died, the two of them were too awkward. In the past two years, the Queen Mother has also seen more and more clearly that in the eyes of this son, the status of her mother is probably not as good as that of Concubine Xianzhao, the aunt. The Queen Mother had been high and mighty all her life, so how could she tolerate the son she had raised taking away Quan Rong and being raised in the deep palace to please others? Afterwards, Mo Jingli had the help of Cang Mangshan, and he targeted the Queen Mother everywhere, and the relationship between mother and son became more and more strained.

But the Queen Mother did not come out this time to argue with Mo Jingli. She really did not understand what was going on in her son's mind. It is true that the Queen Mother had once wanted to deal with Prince Ding's Mansion. But even when Prince Ding's Mansion was at its weakest, the Queen Mother did not think of openly opposing Prince Ding's Mansion with military force.

She followed the late emperor and watched him try every possible means to deal with Dingwang Mansion for half his life but always failed. She also saw how talented and brilliant Mo Liufang was back then. She also saw her eldest son was willing to sacrifice Da Chu to suppress the Mo family army, and how Mo Xiuyao pushed Dingwang Mansion back to the top from the precarious and crippled prince. Invisibly, the queen mother had a feeling that Dingwang Mansion was definitely not something that ordinary people could deal with. The most important thing is, even if the three-family coalition really destroyed Dingwang Mansion this time, what would happen? Would Xiling and Beirong withdraw from Da Chu's land? Of course not. Without the shock and restraint of the Mo family army, they would only annex Da Chu's land more frantically. I’m afraid...she won’t even have a peaceful life in her lifetime.

Mo Jingli didn't know what the Queen Mother was thinking. He only saw that the Queen Mother, as his biological mother, had been against him in all these years. She even went to the Prince Ding's Mansion to help Mo Xiuyao to restrain him. Seeing that the Queen Mother was going to stop him again, he said coldly: "As a person in the harem, it is better for you to go back to the palace and rest early. The affairs in the court will naturally be handled by your sons and ministers. Or... does the Queen Mother really want to interfere in politics? This prince still remembers the edict of my brother..."

"Mo Jingli, you!" The Queen Mother was so angry that she trembled all over. The edict left by Mo Jingqi before his death was a taboo in the Queen Mother's heart. Mo Jingli brought it out so loudly that it even had a hint of threat. The Queen Mother finally couldn't bear it anymore, and her eyes went dark and she fell backwards.

Mo Jingli glanced at the queen mother who had fainted on the ground, and ordered in a cold voice: "The queen mother is ill, why don't you send her back to the imperial physician to treat her properly. If you let the queen mother walk around again and hurt herself, I will hold you accountable!"

Seeing the Queen Mother being helped down, the hopes of the ministers were shattered once again. Mo Jingli looked down at the crowd and said, "Mo Xiuyao led hundreds of thousands of Mo family soldiers to occupy the northwest, northeast and Chujing. He has long since rebelled against the Great Chu and is the biggest traitor in the world. This king formed an alliance with Xiling and Beirong precisely to eliminate the traitors and support the country. Anyone who has other opinions will be treated as a traitor."

After saying this, he no longer paid any attention to His Highness's ministers and the pitiful little emperor who was sobbing and whimpering, and left.

In Nanjing, the most talked about topic these days is the alliance between King Li and Xiling Beirong to fight against the Mohist army. Many respected elders cried in broad daylight, saying that the Chu State would be destroyed by heaven.

Although the Mohist Army and the Great Chu have long ceased to have any relationship, in the eyes of many old people, it is not so easy to sever all the ties. There are also many people who are looking forward to the Dingwang Mansion to help the world and save the Great Chu. Even for these reasons, the Dingwang Mansion has guarded the Great Chu for hundreds of years, and even after being forced away by the royal family, it can be said that it has never done anything to let down the Great Chu. The Regent King's actions are unkind, ungrateful, and unrighteous. Such a court, how could it not be abandoned by God?

Similarly, the common people also cursed at this. Although Mo Jingli wanted to ban it, he was already in trouble both internally and externally, and he was overwhelmed. If he continued to forcibly ban the people from speaking, I'm afraid the officials would really force the people to rebel. Mo Jingli had no other choice but to turn a blind eye and ignore these people. At the same time, he issued an imperial decree to mobilize the army to prepare food and fodder for the northern expedition in the near future.

In a quiet teahouse, Ye Li was sitting in a private room with a smile on her face, sipping tea. Although the door was closed, the discussions of the tea drinkers outside continued to flow into the private room. This showed how intense the debate outside was. This situation was not only in this inn, but also in all the teahouses and wine houses in Nanjing. The court did not care about the people, so naturally the commotion became more intense. There were also many people who cursed Mo Jingli all day long.

"What do you think of what these people are saying?" In the room, Yao Ji sat opposite, smiling at the young man in white in front of her. Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid these things won't affect the decision of King Li."

Yao Ji tilted her head to think, and could only sigh: "Isn't Prince Li's hatred for Prince Ding's Mansion an obsession? If Prince Li really sees clearly, he should know that this alliance with Xiling and Beirong will do him no good. Regardless of whether the Mo family army wins or loses, he will surely be infamous for thousands of years." It's a pity that Mo Jingli is too obsessed with defeating Mo Xiuyao, so even if there is only a slight chance, he wants to see Mo Xiuyao defeated in front of him in person.

"Marquis Muyang's Mansion has also received orders from King Li. Marquis Muyang and Mu Yang will go on the expedition together." Yao Ji said softly.

Ye Li nodded, not surprised. There were not many generals in the Great Chu who were good at fighting. Leng Huai and Nan Hou had already joined the Ding Wang Mansion. Although Murong Shen did not express it clearly, his actions had already proved his thoughts. Moreover, Murong Shen was not only an old subordinate of Mo Liufang, but also the father-in-law of Leng Haoyu, the confidant of Ding Wang. He was inseparable from Ding Wang Mansion. Although Mu Yang Hou was old, Leng Huai and Nan Hou, who were almost the same age as him, were still on the battlefield, so he would naturally have no problem.

"Since Mo Jingli has made up his mind, then... I should give him a generous gift." Ye Li smiled calmly, took out a list from his sleeve and placed it in front of Yao Ji and Qin Feng. Yao Ji picked it up and looked at it, wondering: "Sir, what is this..."

Ye Li said in a deep voice: "Kill all the people above."

Ye Li's voice was neither happy nor angry, as calm as the calm sea, yet it made people vaguely feel the danger of the deep sea. The people on this list are all very important figures in the current Chu army. They may not be in high positions, but their departure will have a significant impact on the army. But what surprised Yao Ji was that Mu Yang and Mu Yang Hou's names were not on it.

Ye Li glanced at her and smiled faintly, "Don't be surprised. This time, Marquis Muyang and his son will definitely become the commanders of the Chu army. If something happens to them, it will be a problem whether the Chu army can still set out. Mo Jingli has already intervened, so don't even think about withdrawing. These people are not important and conspicuous figures, so just get rid of them. My eldest brother is still in Dongfang You's hands, so don't draw attention to him."

Qin Feng put away the list and nodded, "Don't worry, sir."

Ye Li nodded and asked, "Does Ye Ying have any news? Does she know the list that Dongfang You gave to Mo Jingli?"

Yao Ji hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "She knows, but she won't tell." Ye Li was slightly startled, pondered for a moment and nodded: "I know what she means. She is afraid that I will regret not telling her the whereabouts of the child." Yao Ji asked: "Then should we try to..."

Ye Li shook her head and said, "No need. Ye Ying... has never achieved anything in her life. But once she makes up her mind about something, it's very difficult to get the real news from her. Instead of letting her tell us and then wasting time to verify it, it's better to let her say it willingly."

Yao Ji frowned and said, "But, what if something happens to Li Cheng and the prince..."

"Dongfang You said that he is not an important person. So he should not be someone close to Xiu Yao. Even if Mo Jingli wants to use him, he will not be in a hurry. The eldest uncle and the second uncle should also be investigating." Ye Li said in a deep voice. Yao Ji thought that King Ding and Mr. Hongyu were both extraordinary people, so it must be very difficult for Dongfang You's people to plot against them. Otherwise, how could they not even know that Cangmang Mountain was in danger of extinction?

After hearing what Ye Li said, Yao Ji no longer cared about it. She looked at Ye Li and asked, "After Marquis Muyang sent out his troops, what should Yao Ji do? Please give me some advice, sir." Ye Li looked at her deeply, sighed and said, "Yao Ji, you really don't have to force yourself so much."

Yao Ji smiled and nodded, "Yao Ji understands what the young master means. Since Yao Ji has made a decision, she will definitely not ruin the affairs of the young master and Prince Ding's Mansion." Ye Li played with the folding fan nonchalantly, thought for a while and said, "In this case... on the day when the Great Chu sends troops, you should go with him."

Yao Ji frowned, "I'm afraid Marquis Muyang won't agree." Except for military commanders stationed at the border for a long time, they were not allowed to bring their families with them when they went to war. Moreover, she was not a woman like Princess Ding who was both civil and military, able to plan and command thousands of troops, so it was impossible for Mu Yang to take her with him.

Ye Li smiled and said, "As long as Yao Ji is willing, she will naturally come up with a solution."

Yao Ji was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smiled faintly and said: "Yao Ji understands, thank you for your advice, Master."

"Sir, Wei Rui requests to see you." Wei Rui said in a low voice outside the door.

Yao Ji and Qin Feng stood up, and Qin Feng said, "Sir, I will take my leave first."

Ye Li nodded and said, "You should follow Yao Ji for the next few days. As I said before, you will be in charge of all matters in the Marquis of Muyang Mansion." Qin Feng nodded, "Qin Feng thanks you, sir."

Ye Li said softly: "It's too late, you should understand what I mean."

Qin Feng nodded silently, then turned around and left with Yao Ji.

Wei Rui came in, and without even a moment's greeting, he said in a deep voice, "Sir, Dongfang You has left the house." Ye Li's face changed slightly, and he stood up abruptly, but soon sat back down and asked in a deep voice, "Is she alone?"

Wei Rui shook his head and said, "I only brought two guards, both of whom are from Cangmang Mountain."

Ye Li lowered her brows and thought for a while, then said, "Dongfang You is very skilled in martial arts, don't get too close to her or she will find you." Wei Rui nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. With our abilities, as long as we can determine the approximate location, we will always be able to find Master Qingchen. It's just that Master Qingchen is powerless, and I don't know..."

Ye Li waved her hands and said, "From what I saw of Dong Fangyou two days ago, she probably hasn't seen Big Brother yet. Big Brother won't be in any danger."

Wei Rui nodded. Dongfang You was madly in love with Master Qingchen, so he would not hurt him easily.

Ye Li thought for a moment and asked, "Have you found out about Cangmangshan's influence in Jiangnan?"

Wei Rui said: "After the fall of Cangmang Mountain, the power of Cangmang Mountain in Jiangnan has changed, but it still left a lot of clues. We can find out 70% to 80% of them by following the clues. Sir, do you want to take action now?"

Ye Li shook her head and said, "No, wait until Mo Jingli leaves before taking action."

Wei Rui blinked and said hesitantly, "Master, you mean that Mo Jingli will go on the expedition personally this time." Ye Li sighed helplessly, "Xiu Yao is playing too big this time. I'm afraid that not only Mo Jingli will go there personally, but Lei Zhenting will also go there personally."

"This..." Mo Jingli said that it was not a big deal, but Lei Zhenting was in a lot of trouble. Although Lei Zhenting did not seem to have any advantage in the battles with Prince Ding's Mansion several times, except for one time when he underestimated the enemy because of the princess, the rest of the times could be said to be forced by the situation. Lei Zhenting's ability was far beyond what Mo Jingli and Yelu Ye could imagine.

Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. Since he has made this choice...all I can do for him is to try my best to reduce his pressure."

"Princess, if the prince really means it..." Wei Rui couldn't help but ask.

Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "We will be friends through thick and thin, and through the underworld..."

Wei Rui remained silent. In the eyes of those who were close to the prince and the princess, they always saw the prince's obsession and attachment to the princess, but the princess seemed to be indifferent. Now Wei Rui understood that the princess's feelings for the prince were not inferior to the prince's feelings for the princess. It's just that compared with the prince, the princess didn't like to talk about these things. That's why the princess was so painstaking. As long as it was something the prince wanted to do, the princess almost never objected. She just calmly did what she could do or quietly accompanied the prince...

Wei Rui felt that he really didn't need to ask the remaining questions, so he just looked at Ye Li respectfully and said, "Please give me your instructions, Princess."

Ye Li stood up and smiled faintly: "Just wait and see. When Mo Jingli leaves, things will change in Chujing."

Outside Nanjing, Dongfang You was walking slowly in a woman's cloth, followed by two young men who were also wearing coarse cloth. The group looked like three ordinary brothers and sisters who had just returned from the capital.

When they reached an intersection, Dongfang You stopped, a hint of murderous intent flashed across her pretty face, and she said calmly, "Get rid of those annoying flies behind us."

"Yes, young master." The two men responded respectfully, turned around and disappeared on the side of the road. Dongfang You stood on the side of the road for a long time before he smiled faintly and turned around to walk on another completely opposite path.

On the quiet path, the man in plain clothes neatly took back the bloodstained software and restored his original simple and honest appearance. He glanced at the corpses lying on the ground, shook his head and turned away.

After a while, two men in black appeared beside the corpse. They looked down at the bloody corpse on the ground, kicked it, and said helplessly, "We lost it."

Another man said, "If we lost them, it doesn't mean others have lost them too." Since we can't get too close, the people following them will naturally not be the same. The man in black sighed and said, "Let's go back and report to the young master first. The people in Cangmang Mountain are really something."

"No need." A faint voice came from behind, and a handsome young man in white came over with two men in black. The two men hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Young Master."

Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry about it. If the people of Cangmang Mountain don't even have this little ability, how can they be able to quietly snatch people from Prince Ding's Mansion? Let's go."

"Sir, do you already know the whereabouts of Master Qingchen?"

"You'll know when you get there." Ye Li said calmly.

The place where the Eastern Hidden People were hiding was indeed hard to find. Even though Ye Li seemed to know the route, the group still spent most of the day wandering around the mountains near the capital. They stopped at a seemingly inconspicuous hunter's hut in the mountains.

Zhuo Jing frowned and said, "This doesn't look like a place where Master Qingchen can be imprisoned." Although there are few people in this mountain, there are still hunters and herbal farmers coming in and out occasionally. And Master Qingchen's appearance is too easy to attract attention. If such a fairy master like Master Qingchen lives in such a place, I'm afraid it would have been spread out long ago. The people of Cangmang Mountain can't silence everyone who enters the mountain, that would only attract more attention.

Ye Li pointed at the small house and said with a smile: "Do you guys see if there is anything wrong with the small house?"

Zhuo Jing and Wei Rui both forgot about the past and looked at it for a long time but couldn't see anything wrong. Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Looking at the appearance of the hut, I'm afraid it has been several decades. But... look at that chimney..."

The two of them looked at it carefully, and then they suddenly realized. Wei Rui said, "It seems that no one has ever used the chimney." Ye Li nodded and smiled, "Even if this hut is only occasionally used by hunters, it is impossible that the kitchen stove has never been used, unless... there is another secret inside."

"But how do we investigate? There may be someone in this room." Zhuo Jing said.

Ye Li groaned and said, "We haven't confirmed whether Big Brother is here yet. It would be a shame to startle someone so rashly. But we want to do it without alerting anyone..." This small house is really too small. It is impossible to go in and check without alerting the people in the house.

After thinking about it, Ye Li decided to wait a while. At the same time, she wondered what secrets were under the hut? Was it a secret passage or an underground palace? There must be a suitable place to hide people. Ye Li believed that with Dongfang You's feelings for Xu Qingchen, he would never hide her in a cave casually.

After waiting for a long time, they finally saw the door of the hut open from the inside, and soon Dongfang You came out with a sullen face. Even though they were far away, the three of them could still feel that Dongfang You's face was very ugly, and the men and women who followed her out looked even more terrified. Ye Li suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

Dongfang You slapped a middle-aged man who spoke in a panic. Before the man could say a word, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then he fell to the ground and died. Apparently something happened that made her extremely angry. Just as Dongfang You was facing their direction, Ye Li could see what she was talking about from her slightly twitching lips, "A bunch of trash! Even people who don't know martial arts can look at this." If you don’t stop, what else do I want from you?”

Ye Li was shocked. Could it be that her elder brother had already escaped? If so, why hadn't he contacted them?

The subordinates were clearly trying to explain something. Except for the two men who followed Dongfang You, everyone else knelt on the ground. Dongfang You was still angry and asked coldly, "When did he disappear?"

Ye Li naturally couldn't see the subordinate's answer. Ye Li lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before asking, "Are you sure we can catch Dongfang You now?"

Zhuo Jing and Wei Rui looked at each other and whispered, "Our people are already nearby, so it shouldn't be a problem. But Dong Fangyou's Qinggong seems to be very good. I'm afraid she knows she's no match for us and will try to escape at all. It would be difficult to escape without any injury."

Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "She is not related to us. Who wants you to be unharmed? It's enough that she is not dead."

"I obey your orders." The two said in unison.

Outside the hunter's hut in the woods, Dongfang You said angrily: "If you don't find Master Qingchen within three days, you will lose your life!"

"There's no need to bother Miss Dongfang with the whereabouts of Master Qingchen. Why don't you ask Princess Li to talk to me first?" A male voice with a faint smile suddenly came from the hillside not far away.
