When Xiang Wudi was less than ten feet away from the house where Ye Hongtu lived.

A figure shot out from the house and appeared in front of Xiang Wudi in the blink of an eye.

“So fast!”

Xiang Wudi was startled at once, and slapped him with all his might.

However, facing 놛's attack, the man casually circled his right hand, and a soft force came out, instantly dissolving 놛's palm into nothingness.

As the saying goes, once an expert makes a move, you can tell whether it is good or not.

"Ninth-rank Grandmaster?"

Xiang Wudi's heart suddenly shuddered.

In a moment of panic, he couldn't even control his breath.

"You...Xiang Wudi?"

Ye Hongtu neutralized Xiang Wudi's attack with one move and retreated quickly.

With the perception ability of a ninth-grade grandmaster, he could naturally judge the identity of a familiar person by his aura.

Then he whispered to Xiang Wudi in secret.

"Forehead?"

"How is that possible?"

"Are you Ye Hongtu?"

The two of them had served in the same court for such a long time that Xiang Wudi was naturally very familiar with Ye Hongtu's voice.

"Yes, Brother Xiang, why did you come to the Ye Mansion so late at night?"

Ye Hongtu was somewhat puzzled. He didn't understand how Xiang Wudi, who was such an upright person, could do such an outrageous thing.

But since the other party visited me so late at night, he must have something important to discuss with me.

As for suspecting that the other party came here late at night with any ill intentions, Ye Hongtu had never thought of this.

Because I know Xiang Wudi well, he would never say such a thing.

After confirming that the person on the other side was indeed Ye Hongtu, Xiang Wudi suppressed the shock in his heart and said in a voice transmission:

"Brother Ye, how about we find a secret place to chat?"

Hearing this, Ye Hongtu's eyes flashed, and then he nodded heavily.

"Brother Xiang, follow me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Hongtu's figure rose up into the wind like a dead leaf and flew out of Ye Mansion.

Xiang Wudi did not hesitate, using his Qinggong skills to quickly catch up.

A quarter of an hour later, the two appeared beside a steep cliff.

Under the moonlight, Xiang Wudi looked at Ye Hongtu, who was standing in the wind with high spirits, and sighed in his heart:

"Brother Ye, if I hadn't visited the Ye Mansion tonight, I probably wouldn't have known that you had broken through to the realm of a ninth-grade grandmaster."

"With such truth, there are probably only a handful of people in the Great Yan Dynasty who can rival you."

In the past, the two of them were always about the same in terms of strength.

Who would have thought that Ye Hongtu had quietly broken through to the ninth-grade grandmaster realm.

Even though there is a realm difference between the two of them, with Ye Hongtu's current strength, he can definitely defeat him within five moves.

Then I thought of Ye Yunwu who shined in the martial arts competition a few days ago and Ye Yunge who was also somewhat unfathomable.

The hidden strength of the Ye family is really terrifying.

This is the true thought in my heart at this moment.

Ye Hongtu smiled heartily and said modestly, "Brother Xiang, it's Mu!"

"The Ninth Rank Grandmaster is indeed very strong, but there are countless hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the entire Great Yan Dynasty."

"Even though there are people in Yanjing City who are stronger than you, there are still some who are stronger than you."

After hearing this, Xiang Wudi wanted to say something else, but Ye Hongtu continued:

"Brother Xiang, why did you come here tonight? Can you tell me now?"

Ye Hongtu's words finally brought Xiang Wudi back to the right track.

When Xiang Wudi thought about his daughter being arranged to marry by the emperor, he felt inexplicably irritated.

"His Majesty the Emperor has granted a marriage to the daughter of the 놖 family!" Xiang Wudi said in a muffled voice.

"Marriage offer?"

Ye Hongtu's eyes narrowed.

In just two words, I could sense a conspiracy and deliberate targeting.

"Who did you give it to?" Ye Hongtu asked.

"The Second Emperor 떚 Yan Gu!"

Hearing this suddenly, a cold light flashed in Ye Hongtu's eyes.

"Is it because your daughter is too close to the stinky girl in your family?"

Ye Hongtu thought about it for a moment and understood the connection.

"Huh, you know it well!"

"If a girl from another family is favored by the Second Emperor, her parents will definitely be very pleased."

"But, girls from our family are different."

"That day, she and your second son exchanged a token of love. Although they didn't want to admit it, they probably meant it."

"Now, the girl of the Wang family is unwilling to marry the Second Emperor. You should know why."

"I have completely lost interest now. I really have no other options, so I came to you in the middle of the night."

Xiang Wudi explained the reason why he visited Ye Mansion at night.

Ye Hongtu understood this very well.

If the identities of both of them were not too sensitive, Xiang Wudi could have visited the Ye family openly.

However, after changing his mind, Ye Hongtu suddenly burst into laughter:

"Hahahaha, Brother Xiang, from what you said, it seems that you don't mind Yunwu and your daughter getting together!"

He had been quite unhappy about this matter originally, and now Ye Hongtu actually said it to his face. For a moment, Xiang Wudi's body was shaking with anger.

"Ye Hongtu, you old man, stop talking nonsense!"

"According to what you said, you absolutely don't want Xue'er to have anything to do with your Ye family. You should understand why."

"The current emperor does not tolerate the Ye family. If Xue'er marries into the Ye family, I'm afraid..."

Having said this, Xiang Wudi let out a long sigh, his tone full of bitterness.

Is the Ye family wrong?

The Ye family is right!

But your heart is hard to predict. If I want you to die, how can you resist?

Although Xiang Wudi didn't want to see the Ye family being harmed, he really had no intention.

"Don't worry, Brother Xiang. The Ye family has naturally been prepared for this matter." Ye Hongtu said unhappily.

"Have you prepared yet?"

"What preparations?"

Xiang Wudi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Ye family wanted to create trouble?

놛 looked at Ye Hongtu in shock: "Brother Ye, you..."

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Persuade Ye Hongtu not to resist, and then wait for Emperor Yanwu to wipe out the entire Ye family?

How could you possibly say such a thing?

Don't forget that 놛 has made outstanding contributions just like Ye Hongtu.

If such a thing happens to you, you will also feel indignant and full of resentment.

"Brother Xiang, if there comes a day like that..."

Before Ye Hongtu could finish his words, Xiang Wudi interrupted him:

"Xiang Wudi fights for the Great Yan clan!"

"Fight for the Great Yan family?"

"Hahahaha, great, this is Xiang Wudi whom I just met!"

Ye Hongtu smiled heartily, then looked at Xiang Wudi with a serious expression:

"Since His Majesty has granted the marriage, if nothing unexpected happens, your girl must marry the Second Emperor within two months."

"But, it's all human nature. Aren't you guys still married?"

"Do we still have time to find a solution?"

Hearing this, Xiang Wudi's eyes lit up: "Brother Ye, can you help Xue'er cancel this marriage?"

Ye Hongtu shook his head: "Not yet, but Brother Xiang, don't worry, I will help you find a solution within a few days."

"I like Xue'er very much. She is suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Ye family."

"Even if you are a royal family, you can't compete with the Ye family."

Ye Hongtu's words were extremely domineering.

Looking at Ye Hongtu at this moment, Xiang Wudi was a little stunned for a moment:

"I feel like Ye Hongtu has become a little different!"

"No, not only Ye Hongtu, the entire Ye family seems to have changed a lot."

"Hey, the emperor is forcing the Ye family so hard now. I hope it won't cause any disaster. Otherwise, Da Yan might really change!"

Xiang Wudi said to himself in his heart.

........

The next morning, in Ye Hongtu's study.

The father of the Ye family came out, and Mrs. Xiao was holding Ye Chuyao. Except for Ye Yunping, the whole family gathered here.

[Oh my, Daddy gathered us together so early, what is the reason? ]

[It’s so early in the morning, the baby hasn’t woken up yet! ]

【Baby is sleepy! 】

As he spoke, Ye Chuyao stretched himself lazily, and then yawned deeply.

There is still fatigue in his eyes.

Ye Hongtu looked at his precious daughter, feeling a little sorry.

But there's nothing we can do. This daughter is so smart and can even predict the future. Maybe she has some way to solve the problem.

With this thought in mind, he took Ye Chuyao out of the quilt early.

"General Xiang came to see you last night. He had a very difficult matter and needed your help."

"Besides, this matter has something to do with Yunwu!"

Ye Yunwu was stunned:

"Uh? What does this have to do with you?"

Ye Yunge thought about it for a moment, and then he thought of something: "Could it be related to Miss Xiang?"

Ye Hongtu nodded in appreciation: "Not bad!"

"Emperor Yanwu has granted a marriage to the girl from the Xiang family!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

"Given marriage, to whom?"

This question came to everyone's mind except Ye Hongtu.

[Huh? That's not right. What's the plot here? ]

[The dog emperor offers a marriage to Sister Xiang? There is no such plot in the original novel? 】

[놛Who did you give Sister Xiang to? 】

[Something is wrong, something is wrong. I smell a conspiracy in this matter.]

[This dog emperor has bad intentions again! ]

When Ye Yunwu suddenly heard the news, he felt inexplicably angry.

놛 said in a low voice: "Father, to whom did that dog emperor give Qingxue?"
