Ye Hongtu was completely moved by Ye Chuyao's filial piety.

He ate the nourishing pills as if they were candy beans, and he never thought that one day he would be able to live such a luxurious life.

But based on his understanding of his daughter, perhaps this day might really come.

After all, this precious daughter of his had moved away half of the treasure houses of countless sects in her previous life. God only knew how many good things were hidden in her Void Tower.

{놖's precious daughter, Daddy is waiting for that day.}

Ye Hongtu said to himself.

.......

Early the next morning, a piece of news spread like the wind throughout the streets and alleys of Yanjing City:

"Have you heard? It seems that our emperor is going to take action against the Ye family."

"Is this true? The Ye family has protected the northern border of Da Yan for more than ten years. Why would His Majesty do this?"

"Now the world is peaceful, and the Ye family is so powerful that it threatens the emperor. His Majesty the Emperor must be planning to destroy the bridge after crossing the river."

"Isn't this too much? How much has the Ye family paid for Da Yan? How can His Majesty the Emperor do this?"

"Hehe, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor has already taken action. In yesterday's martial arts preliminary competition, he actually arranged a half-step grandmaster who wanted to kill the second son of the Ye family openly on the stage. If it weren't for the second son of the Ye family's strong strength, tut tut..."

"I heard that it was the Emperor himself who ordered all the contestants to sign a life and death agreement. Could it be that he was targeting the Ye family from the beginning?"

"The Ye family is extremely important to Da Yan. His Majesty the Emperor must have been deceived by a traitor to do such a thing that would bring pain to his loved ones and joy to his enemies."

“........”

Such news soon reached the palace.

With a "bang", Emperor Yanwu smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces.

His eyes were sinister, and his body was trembling slightly:

"Who? Who spread the news?"

"You actually said that I want to kill the heroes of Dayan. How can this be possible!"

Although he thought so in his heart, he also did so.

But this matter was widely spread among the people of Dayan. Would he still be able to maintain his reputation as Emperor Yanwu?

"Father, in my opinion, this news must have been spread by that old man Ye Hongtu."

"He must have sensed the crisis, which is why he did such a disastrous move."

The second prince Yan Gu also had an ugly look on his face.

He also didn't expect that Ye Hongtu, a guy who had always been honest, would be so shameless.

Even such despicable means can be used.

Of course, he didn't know that Ye Hongtu was plotting against Gu Changhe, otherwise, his impression of Ye Hongtu would definitely change a lot.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yanwu narrowed his eyes slightly:

"This old man seems honest and kind on weekdays, but he is actually a wicked person."

"Gu'er, tell me, what should I do now?"

Yan Gu understood that this was a test from Emperor Yanwu.

So, he pondered for a moment and said, "Father, I think that even if you want to deal with the Ye family, you can't do it too blatantly."

"Didn't we discuss this with the Gu family father and son last night?"

"The next martial arts event can be held normally, and we will not attack the Ye family anymore."

"Moreover, my son suggests that the emperor should announce to the world that the royal family will never harm meritorious officials, and take the opportunity to reward the Ye family with some money and other things. In this way, we will be able to stop the people from making trouble."

Last night, Emperor Yanwu and Gu Changhe and his son discussed for a long time and decided to give up the martial arts process and take action against the two brothers of the Ye family.

In fact, even if they didn't give up, they would not be able to succeed. After all, they couldn't find any young talent stronger than Ye Yunwu.

Even Feng Tang was not sure he could defeat Ye Yunwu, let alone kill him.

Although Ye Yunge has not made a move yet, who knows how strong he is?

The two brothers' strengths have always been on par with each other. Since Ye Yunwu has broken through to the half-step grandmaster level, it is not impossible for Ye Yunge to break through to this level as well.

Realizing this, Emperor Yanwu and his men had no choice but to give up.

"If that's the case, wouldn't that give the Ye family a chance to catch their breath?"

Emperor Yanwu was not satisfied with the second prince's answer.

"Father, haven't the Gu family and their son already made their plans?"

"When the time comes, Father will just need to send a few Shadow masters to them, and then combine the power of the Gu family's father and son, they will definitely be able to eliminate the second son of the Ye family first."

If Ye Yunwu knew their plan, he would definitely be so angry that he would curse his mother.

Why do you always focus on him first? Does he really deserve to die?

"Forget it, let's leave it at that for now!"

Emperor Yanwu, who was always high-spirited, was actually a little tired at this moment.

In order to destroy the Ye family, he really put in countless thoughts.

Who would have thought the result would be so unsatisfactory.

Sometimes he even wanted to frame the Ye family with the crime of rebellion and kill all the members of the family.

However, it is not so easy to achieve this.

If he did so, there was a possibility that the North would completely mutiniate.

By then, the northern border will be in chaos, and Da Zhou will take the opportunity to march south, then Da Yan will be in real danger.

It is extremely difficult to deal with the Ye family without causing chaos.

"Father, I will take my leave now!"

The Second Prince has to supervise the preliminary elections for the military competition today, so he naturally cannot stay here for too long.

"Go ahead!"

"I leave all matters of the military campaign to you. I'm tired!"

Emperor Yanwu turned around and waved his hand gently backwards.

.........

Without Emperor Yanwu, Gu Changhe and others' intervention, the entire Wuju would not have caused much trouble.

In less than three days, the military campaign produced results.

Of course, what surprised countless Dayan people was that the eldest son of the Ye family only passed the preliminary selection. In the subsequent competition, he actually lost to a sixth-rank martial arts master.

Gu Changhe of the Gu family was even more straightforward, he didn't even pass the primary election.

In the final match, Ye Yunwu and Feng Tang fought a fierce battle, and in the end Ye Yunwu lost the match by half a move.

Of course, only the Ye family knew whether Ye Yunwu had let them off during this period.

However, after this fight, he and Feng Tang felt a sense of mutual respect.

......

In the Ye family mansion, the third son of the Ye family, who had not been seen for a long time, finally showed up.

At this moment, he was lazily lying on a lounge chair.

Beside him, two maids were serving him tenderly.

One of them peeled the grapes and stuffed the pulp into his mouth.

The other person took a piece of candied fruit from the plate and fed it to him gently.

Ye Yunping squinted his eyes facing the sun, and his life was very unhappy.

On the table in front of him was a thick stack of banknotes.

"Xiazhu, Qiuxiang!"

"You guys, now you are so poor that you only have money left. What do you think we should do?"

"Well, seeing that you have served me so well, each of you shall receive a hundred taels of silver as a reward from the master!"
