At the beginning, Ye Zixun thought that Du Sha came to him because of his unwillingness to admit defeat as a warrior.

But after sending Du Sha to **, Ye Zixun asked a few questions casually and only then did he find out that Du Sha's determination to face challenges head-on was actually instigated by his good brother Ning Yi.

After discovering this, Ye Zixun immediately realized that something was wrong.

He hurried back to Ning Yi's yard and found that only his maid and concubine Xiaochan was left in the yard.

"This brat deliberately sent me away. Could it be that he wanted to contact someone from the Imperial Secret Investigation Department?"

Ye Zixun touched his chin, then took out the Void Jade Card and sent a message to Zuo Yu and Li Yun in front of Xiao Chan.

These two people have not been with Ning Yi in recent days. On the surface, they said they were investigating Fang La's guard situation and looking for opportunities to assassinate him, but in fact they were wandering around the city, looking for the possible second time traveler.

Xiaochan looked at Ye Zixun's actions curiously.

"Mr. Ye, what are you doing?"

"Oh, texting."

"S...text message?"

Xiaochan looked confused, and then guessed: "Are you going to carve a message on the jade pendant and pass it on to others... Why bother?"

Ye Zixun looked up at her and said disdainfully, "Children, don't meddle in adult matters!"

Xiaochan's face flushed immediately: "Xiaochan is not a child. If it were any other wealthy family, Xiaochan might have already become a parent and given birth to several children for her uncle!"

Ye Zixun joked, "Your daughter hasn't even given birth yet, and you want to give birth?"

Xiaochan was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, and she said in a mosquito-like voice: "Then... then it must be after the young lady..."

“…What a sin!”

"This evil feudal society..."

Ye Zixun sighed. In the modern world, a girl as old as Xiaochan would be at most a high school student, but here, she had to become a maid in a wealthy family as a minor.

To be honest, she just had Ning Yi, otherwise, she would have had several abortions by now.

After all, how could a maid give birth to a eldest son before the wife?

Just then, several figures walked in from outside the yard.

Ye Zixun took a glance and found that they were several housewives of the upper echelons of the Ba Dao Camp, as well as Ji Qianer, the 'Double-sword' who was one of the seven swordsmen under Liu Xigua's command.

They had made an appointment with Xiaochan to go shopping today. Originally, it was just the few of them, but due to the weird atmosphere in Hangzhou recently, these women brought along a few guards and the martial arts expert Ji Qianer.

Seeing Ye Zixun beside Xiaochan, Ji Qianer immediately put her hands on her waist, her eyes full of fear.

Ye Zixun didn't care at all, instead he said excitedly: "Xiaochan, are you guys going shopping?"

Xiaochan nodded and said, "Yes."

Ye Zixun smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I am also a little interested. Take me with you!"

“…”

Several women, including Ji Qianer, looked strange.

The male guard following behind them also had a twitching mouth, and his eyes changed slightly when he looked at Ye Zixun.

Ye Zixun coughed lightly and explained with a calm expression: "Since my fourth brother is not here, I have the obligation to protect my brother and sister-in-law. I am worried about leaving Xiaochan to you..."

After these words were spoken, Ji Qianer and others were speechless.

Xiaochan was a little resistant at first, but when she heard the word "sister-in-law", her face flushed and she agreed in a daze.

…

At the same time, Ning Yi, who had finally gotten rid of Zuo Yu and the other two, met with the father of a student in Sijizhai. After seeing him off, he quietly walked into the deepest room.

There, the biggest spy chief in Hangzhou City, Wenren Buer from the Secret Investigation Department, was waiting quietly.

As soon as they met, he asked a key question.

"Mr. Ning, are you in trouble?"

"..." Ning Yi poured a cup of tea and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal. Maybe they can help us."

Wenren Buer was silent for a moment, then said, "I sent someone to send a message and have the outsiders investigate the three brothers. They first showed up on the official road from Jiangning to Huzhou, and then headed south all the way to Hangzhou..."

Ning Yi drank tea and asked casually: "What about before that?"

Wenren Buer shook his head: "No news... I suspect that the three of them are masters of disguise."

Ning Yi remained silent.

Wenren Buer frowned: "If not, their origins cannot be explained. Even if they are so-called hidden masters, they can be traced by local officials. But these three people seem to have jumped out of the cracks of the stone."

"Not only is there nothing to prove, but they all have amazing martial arts skills and are well versed in worldly affairs."

"Talents like these are definitely not something that can be cultivated by so-called hidden masters who are complacent. In addition to their own natural talents, they must also be taught by famous teachers, and travel the world, defeat all heroes, and gather the best of hundreds of martial arts..."

"Only in this way can we train a young Grandmaster with an invincible mentality."

Wenren Buer emphasized the word "one" to express the incredibleness of the three young grand masters.

Ning Yi smiled and said, "Are you talking about the experience of Zhou Tong, the best iron-armed warrior in the world?"

Wenren Buer nodded.

Ning Yi smiled slightly and said with a hint of meaning: "Anyway, you just don't believe that there are people without roots who are born with knowledge, right?"

Wenren Buer asked doubtfully, "Of course, does Master Ning believe it?"

Ning Yi put down his teacup, smiled and changed the subject, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. No matter where these three people came from, they came here to assassinate Fang La. Their actions are beneficial to us. When they take action, we might as well help them..."

Wenren Buer nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master Ning. I understand this principle."

Ning Yi continued: "Now, I have instigated the Tyrant Blade Camp to take action against Bao Daoyi, but the rules must still be followed and we cannot be hasty."

Wenren Buer said bluntly: "Why? Tong Shumi's army is about to arrive in Hangzhou. Judging from the current situation in Hangzhou, I'm afraid they are determined to delay time. If we can use this as an opportunity to expand the influence and cause internal strife in Hangzhou, wouldn't it be the best opportunity?"

Ning Yi shook his head: "Liu Dabiao is not a fool, and Fang La is even less so. With the imperial army coming, even if the Ba Daoying and Bao Daoyi have a huge grudge, they must temporarily reconcile and unite to face the outside world."

"So I will try my best to deal with the aftermath as perfectly as possible, so that Bao Daoyi's death will not affect Hangzhou."

Wenren Buer frowned: "What good will this do us?"

Ning Yi glanced at him and said, "Shove someone in!"

Wenren Buer was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

Ning Yi smiled and said, "Now that Bao Daoyi is dead, what good is there in causing chaos? Anyway, once the imperial army arrives, the Fang La army will still unite to face the outside world. We should take a long-term view. After Bao Daoyi's death, a small chaos is still chaos. The most important thing is that you can use this opportunity to put the resources at hand into key positions."

"For example, we could send the weak soldiers in Fang La's army to guard the city gates. Once the army arrives, we can open the city gates directly. Wouldn't that be easier than a civil war?"

Hearing Ning Yi's plan, Wenren Buer's eyes became brighter and brighter.

After a detailed conversation in a low voice, Ning Yi left Sijizhai.

When I came to the street, I happened to meet Xiaochan, Ji Qianer and others who were out shopping.

Ning Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Ye Zixun following behind the women.

The next second, Ye Zixun looked over and smiled at Ning Yi, then pointed behind him.

Ning Yi's heart sank and he turned around, only to see two familiar figures walking out of the private room next to them.

One of them was tall and had a stern look, while the other was handsome, like a gentleman in troubled times.

"...Brother, Brother, why are you here too?"

Zuo Yu glanced at Wenren Buer's departing back, turned to look at Ning Yi who was smiling awkwardly, and chuckled: "I came out to scout the area, and happened to run into my fourth brother and others plotting against the gate of Hangzhou... Tsk tsk, I never thought that you, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would betray the revolution!"

Hearing the familiar sentence again, Ning Yi's face straightened.

"If this is also considered a revolution, then isn't it disrespecting the predecessors and martyrs who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood?"

"..." Zuo Yu nodded, "That's true."

Ning Yi looked at him steadily, and suddenly laughed: "Second brother, don't pretend anymore?"

Zuo Yu was surprised and asked, "What are you pretending for?"

Ning Yi opened his mouth, met Zuo Yu's gaze, but ultimately failed to utter the word "traveller".

After all, the word "revolution" first appeared in the ancient book "Book of Changes", and the so-called revolutionary martyrs, in the current context, can indeed be applied to some great men and heroes in the past...

When Ning Yi came back to his senses from his complicated emotions, Xiaochan and others had already discovered him after being reminded by Ye Zixun.

Everyone came over together. Zuo Yu patted Ning Yi on the shoulder, then smiled and welcomed everyone into their box, saying that he would treat everyone to a meal at Four Seasons Restaurant to put aside their grudges.

Ji Qian'er exchanged a glance with the several guards from the Tyrant Blade Camp behind her and nodded in agreement.

Everyone rushed into the box.

Ning Yi, Li Yun and Ye Zixun were the last to walk in.

As they passed by, Li Yun whispered in Ning Yi's ear: "Bao Daoyi is also hosting a banquet here."

Ning Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked towards the third floor following Li Yun's finger.

Ye Zixun skillfully put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile, "How about it, do you want us to help you vent your anger and kill that scum who always kidnaps decent women?"

Li Yun, who usually doesn't express his opinion, also nodded and said, "It should be so."

Ning Yi was also somewhat moved when he heard this. After all, he had seen several women who had been abducted by Bao Daoyi, and their endings were tragic and pitiful.

If he were not tied down by a wife and children and the so-called overall situation, Ning Yi would also like to be like these three cheap brothers, using the sword in his hand to avenge his enemies and kill anyone who is unfair with a single sword.

But things in this world are not as simple as described in novels.

The world of martial arts in the novels can only remain on white paper after all.

Ning Yi calmed himself down and shook his head, saying, "Brothers, don't be impulsive. I have my own arrangements."
