Ye Chen sent out more than half of his secret guards and assassins to look for the mysterious woman, but two months have passed since the Chinese New Year and there is still no news.
On this day, Ye Chen and Shen Qiu were playing with An An in Qiu Chen Courtyard. The little guy was about to celebrate his second birthday and could already walk well. Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan could only sit aside and watch their brother running around the yard. Yuan Yuan had a congenital defect and looked smaller than Tuan Tuan, and he didn't like to move. Fortunately, this kid had no obvious differences from Tuan Tuan except that he ate less and was thinner than Tuan Tuan since birth.
"Master, a secret guard has returned. He is injured and has brought news." Mu Qing came in from outside, walked to Ye Chen and whispered to him.
"Come to the study." Ye Chen took Mu Qing into the small study.
"What's the casualty situation like? What news did you bring back?" Ye Chen asked Mu Qing as soon as he sat down. Judging from Mu Qing's expression, the situation wasn't good this time.
"All ten were injured, and the injuries were serious, but without exception, none of them had any vital injuries."
"After Madam let Gu Ruojin go, she did not leave, but returned to the Chen family. Lord Chen hid Gu Ruojin in the Chen family compound. She has not contacted the outside world during this period, but someone secretly went to see her yesterday." Mu Qing told Ye Chen the news brought back by the secret guard.
"Did the person who was going to see Gu Ruojin catch up?" Ye Chen always knew why Chen Qiu left the palace alone that day. His Qiu'er actually let Gu Ruojin go for his own sake, but he didn't care about Gu Ruojin's life or death. Although she did not participate in An An's poisoning, Ye Chen had the memories of his previous life. If it weren't for her, Chen Qiu would not have died in the previous life.
But Ye Chen couldn't tell Chen Qiu about these things, so he could only let her do it and leave the rest to himself.
"I followed him for a while but still lost him. This guy's lightness skill is really good. If he wasn't so skilled, he would be like a loach and impossible to catch." Mu Qing was also very angry. She had met this guy face to face, but he disappeared after just a few seconds of chasing her.
"Who injured the secret guards this time? Now the secret guards are so skilled that no one can hurt them, right?" In the past two years, the secret guards under Ye Chen's command were trained doubly hard by Mu Qing. Although they are no match for the masters in the martial arts world now, they can still be considered among the masters. This time, all ten of them were injured. All of them were seriously injured, but no one was injured in the vital parts. Ye Chen certainly would not think that this was mercy. This was a naked provocation.
"They said it was a young man wearing white clothes, holding a folding fan, and he was very fast." Mu Qing told Ye Chen everything the secret guard had told him.
Ye Chen searched his memories of his two lives in his mind. There was only one person like this, wearing white clothes and holding a folding fan. That was a man from the martial arts world who called himself Mr. Mei. It seemed that he had to ask Xiao Mu and Bai Li.
"Okay, I understand. Go ahead and do your work. I'll go find Master Bai and Senior Xiao. I have something to ask them." Ye Chen's brows were furrowed. Why did this Master Mei appear at this time? In their previous life, they didn't have much in common, but they weren't enemies. Could it be that this Master Mei has some identity that he doesn't know about? As soon as Mu Qing left, Ye Chen also went to find Bai Li and Xiao Mu.
There is a small courtyard in the orchard in the west. Ye Chen had someone clean it up. Ye Chen felt that Yan Guqi was too noisy every day, so he gave this small courtyard to Xiao Mu, Bai Li and Yan Guqi who called her "Sister Bai Li" every day.
"Is Master Bai here?" Ye Chen arrived at the yard and asked the little girl Bai Li who was sweeping the yard where she was.
"Here I am……"
"Ah...Sister Bai Li, it hurts, it hurts." Before the little girl could finish her words, Yan Guqi's pig-slaughtering screams came from the room.
"You kid, you are so careless with your mouth. Do you want to keep this mouth anymore?" Ye Chen stood at the door and saw Bai Li pulling Yan Guqi's ear, which was almost twisted into a knot.
"Ahem..." Ye Chen coughed lightly to remind them that there were guests.
"Come in, come in, ignore them." Xiao Mu invited Ye Chen in, and Bai Li let go of the hand that was pulling Yan Guqi's ear.
"Well, Master, Senior, I have some things in the martial arts world that I want to ask you about." Ye Chen got straight to the point.
"Oh, you said"
"I wonder if you have ever heard of a man called Mr. Mei?"
"Mr. Mei? I heard about him when I was looking for information about Luojiazhuang. It was said that he had a dignified appearance, like a banished immortal, and had extraordinary martial arts skills, and was ruthless." Xiao Mu told what he had heard. It had been a long time since he had heard of any newcomers who were praised in the martial arts world. Although this Mr. Mei was ruthless, he was the only one who could be compared with the Five Heroes of that year, so Xiao Mu remembered this person.
"Yes, I also heard of this person when I was looking for the mental method for An An. What's the matter? Why are you asking about this person?" Bai Li knew that Ye Chen was a person who didn't care about irrelevant people. The person who made him come to inquire about it must be someone he wanted to deal with or someone who had offended him.
"This man injured the ten secret guards I sent out. All of them were seriously injured, but none of them were hit in vital areas." Ye Chen told his situation, and now he was even more puzzled.
"This is a naked provocation. Have you offended someone? Do you have a deep hatred with someone?" Yan Guqi suddenly interrupted while rubbing his ears.
It was also a sentence that woke the dreamer up. If there was no deep hatred, who would provoke such a powerful person? Although Ye Chen was only a Duke and did not hold an office in the court, he could have power at any time if he wanted.
Then, the identity of this Mr. Mei is self-evident. He must be from Luojiazhuang. Ye Chen is now certain of this.
Why didn't this person show up before? Why didn't he show up when he destroyed Luojia Village on such a grand scale? Why did he show up only after all the Luojia Villages were destroyed by him? What was his purpose?
"Since he has already started to provoke us, it won't be just this time. He will appear again. We just need to wait and see. People like him usually don't have good patience. If you ignore him, he will come to you on his own initiative." Xiao Mu has lived for a long time and understands human nature very well.
"Well, now we are in the light while the enemy is in the dark. This is the only way. Let's wait for him to show up." The only thing Ye Chen knew about this person was his arrogance. It might be due to his extraordinary skills, but such a person could often be hit in one blow as long as the right method was found.
