At the Ye Mansion, Hu Qing came to Ye Hongtu under the guidance of the Ye Mansion guards.

"Who are you?"

"Why are you looking for me in the middle of the night?"

Ye Hongtu asked indifferently.

When Hu Qing first met Ye Hongtu, he felt a bit breathless, especially because of the majestic aura he exuded.

He looked at Ye Hongtu cautiously, and said in a trembling voice:

"General Ye...General."

"My name is Hu Qing, and I am originally from Xinyuan County, Dayan."

"I sneaked into the Great Zhou five years ago, and after four years of hard work, I became a close minister to the Emperor of the Great Zhou."

"But Hu Qing never forgot that he was of the blood of Da Yan and should contribute to Da Yan, so he worked hard to gather intelligence for Da Yan."

As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Ye Hongtu respectfully:

"General Ye, all the information I gathered is here."

"I hope General Ye will review it!"

Ye Hongtu narrowed his eyes slightly:

{Haha, it’s exactly the same as what Yaoyao said.}

{However, since you want to play, I will play with you.}

Thinking of this, Ye Hongtu took the envelope, opened it in front of Hu Qing, and read it carefully.

After a while, he stuffed the envelope into his sleeve and suddenly shouted:

"Someone, take this guy down!"

As soon as Ye Hongtu finished speaking, four or five figures suddenly appeared in the darkness.

The blades in their hands were all placed on Hu Qing's neck.

Hu Qing was stunned by this change.

He didn't understand why Ye Hongtu turned against him so suddenly.

Logically, there is nothing wrong with what he said.

Even if Ye Hongtu wanted to find out his background, it would take a long time to investigate.

After so long, their plans would have been completed long ago.

"General Ye, what do you mean?"

Hu Qing's face turned pale and he asked in confusion.

Ye Hongtu glanced at him coldly and walked around him again.

Then he said slowly:

"Hu Qing, right?"

"You said you are a citizen of Da Yan. This matter will take quite some time for this general to investigate."

"As for the information you presented to me, it is most likely true, but it is of little value."

"If you are really a spy from Da Yan undercover in Da Zhou, you would never visit me in the middle of the night with such worthless information."

"Go ahead, tell me your real purpose."

"This general is all ears."

When Ye Hongtu said this, Hu Qing's heart started beating wildly.

He didn't expect that Ye Hongtu was so sharp-minded and could see the unreasonableness of the matter so quickly.

However, no matter how unreasonable they are, these are Ye Hongtu's suspicions.

He didn't believe that Ye Hongtu would dare to do anything to him just based on some suspicion.

After all, from the information he had learned, Ye Hongtu was not that kind of person.

Moreover, he was also the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he did not believe that Ye Hongtu would dare to kill him.

After thinking about this, Hu Qing's back suddenly became stiff.

"General Ye is a wise judge!"

"Everything I said is true."

"The reason why I visited General Ye in the middle of the night was because I wanted to establish contact with him."

"I heard that the Great Zhou delegation came to Dayan for an unusual purpose. I will try my best to gather intelligence during this period."

"I will report all this information to General Yu Ye at that time."

"In the entire Great Yan, the only person I can trust is General Ye, who protects half of the Great Yan."

While Hu Qing was making cunning excuses, he did not forget to flatter Ye Hongtu.

It must be said that he must have something to be entrusted with such an important task by the emperor.

However, his sophistry sounded so funny to Ye Hongtu.

Ye Hongtu laughed and patted his shoulder, his face full of sarcasm:

"Hu Qing, ah Hu Qing!"

"You are still dishonest even now!"

"Do you think this general doesn't know why you came to my Ye Mansion in the middle of the night?"

Hearing him say this, Hu Qing suddenly felt uneasy.

"General....is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Hu Qing swallowed hard and asked uneasily.

"misunderstanding?"

"No, no, no, listen to me and tell you the real purpose of your coming to my Ye Mansion."

Ye Hongtu coughed lightly, and then continued:

"You came to my Ye Mansion, ostensibly to establish contact with me, but in reality you were ordered by the Emperor of the Great Zhou to frame me."

Ye Hongtu's words exploded in Hu Qing's mind like a bolt of lightning.

{How come?}

{How could he possibly see my real intention in coming to the Ye Mansion?}

{Isn't it said that Ye Hongtu is a reckless man who is good at fighting but has a low political awareness?}

{With his ability, how could he possibly see these?}

Although he thought so in his heart, Hu Qing would never admit what Ye Hongtu said.

With a "thump", he fell heavily to his knees.

"The general is innocent!"

"How could Hu Qing, a citizen of Da Yan, possibly frame you?"

"You are wronging me!"

Hu Qing kowtowed repeatedly and kept protesting his injustice.

Ye Hongtu looked at this scene coldly and continued:

"If it weren't what I expected, the scene of you entering the Ye Mansion has already fallen into the eyes of your trusted people, right?"

"I think the Emperor Lu Yao has received the news that you entered my Ye Mansion!"

"Plus the unicorn you brought here on purpose."

"Haha, tomorrow morning, the news that General Guan Ben colluded with Da Zhou and betrayed Da Yan will definitely spread widely."

"Hu Qing, is what the general said correct?"

Being questioned by Ye Hongtu like this, Hu Qing forgot to even protest his injustice for a moment.

He looked at Ye Hongtu with disbelief in his eyes:

"How is this possible? Is this the real Ye Hongtu?"

"Who on earth is the bastard who said that he is good for nothing except fighting?"

"He saw through our entire plan so quickly. You say he's stupid?"

Hu Qing cursed in his heart and regretted accepting such a task.

Seeing Ye Hongtu looking at him coldly, murderous intent already appeared in his body.

Hu Qing quickly shook his head and denied:

"No, General Ye, I definitely wouldn't dare to frame you..."

Before he could finish his words, Ye Hongtu interrupted him with a wave of his hand:

"I am too lazy to listen to your excuses."

"Come here, take this man to the torture chamber and keep him under guard."

"If such a rumor comes true tomorrow, I will kill this person with my sword."

Hearing the words "刀万剮", Hu Qing collapsed instantly.

He naturally knew that tomorrow the news of Guan Ye Hongtu's betrayal of Da Yan would definitely spread everywhere.

If he was really left in the Ye Mansion, then dying would be a luxury for him.

At this moment, he was completely panicked and didn't know what to do.

At this moment, Ye Hongtu shouted coldly:

"Hu Qing, tell me the truth, is what I just said true?"

Ye Hongtu took advantage of Hu Qing's loss of mind and used the grandmaster's special ability - mental shock - on him.

Hu Qing was startled and said numbly:

"What the general said is true!"

Seeing that he finally admitted it honestly, Ye Hongtu sneered:

"Haha, you finally admitted it!"

Then he waved his hand:

"Take him away and keep him under guard."

Watching Hu Qing being led away like a dead dog, Ye Hongtu fell into deep thought:

"What's the next plan? How can we fight back better?"

Just as he was muttering to himself, a figure in white clothes came from not far away.

Seeing the newcomer, Ye Hongtu looked a little surprised:

"You little brat, weren't you at the Song residence? When did you come back?"

A few days ago, Ye Yunge accompanied Song Zhilan back to the Song Mansion.

놘Yu'er떚 was robbed in the street, and Qin's mental state was not very good.

In order to take care of her mother, Song Zhilan had to stay in the Song Mansion for a few more days.

Ye Yunge understood this very well, but considering the safety of his newlywed wife, he stayed together.

Ye Yunge smiled and said, "My dear father, I just came back."

"The Great Zhou delegation suddenly visited Yanjing City, and I smelled something unusual."

"So I took Zhilan back to the 깊叶府 overnight."

"Zhilan has gone to bed, and the child is here to see his father."

"Father, that was just......"

A smile appeared on Ye Hongtu's face.

He was very satisfied with his eldest son, who was not only quick-witted but also better than he was at scheming and plotting.

Therefore, he told Ye Yunge all of Ye Chuyao's thoughts.

And tell what happened just now again.

After listening to his story, Ye Yunge just pondered for a moment and came up with an idea:

"Father, Hu Qing cannot leave the Ye Mansion."

"But he must return tonight to report."

"Otherwise, this play can't go on!"

These contradictory statements left Ye Hongtu confused:

"What do you mean?"

"Don't tell lies, you little brat!"
