Ye Yunheng felt his mind go completely blank.
He had been lying low for many years, unable to return home, and secretly did many things for the prime minister. A few days ago, he was finally summoned back to the capital.
The Prime Minister is already planning to give him an identity similar to that of Yin Jiuniang as a spy, and then let him return to the capital with some intelligence from the Western Moon Kingdom, so that he can establish himself in the court.
But who would have thought that upon returning to the capital, he would learn that Ye Zhen had caused the destruction of his family and the death of his people, and that the Crown Prince would suddenly return to court. So he decided to take advantage of the opportunity to hide in the shadows and get rid of Ye Zhen before reappearing.
To my surprise, Ye Zhen discovered his identity in just one meeting.
Ye Yunheng died in the swamp with Ye Jinghong. He managed to escape by chance and then went to Xiyue Kingdom as a spy by a twist of fate.
Or perhaps they were rescued but lost their memories and went to Xiyue, where they later regained their memories and infiltrated Xiyue to provide intelligence to Dayuan.
At the very least, he could suffer from amnesia for many years, wander outside, regain his memory, return to the capital to save Prime Minister Li, be adopted by him as his godson, and then make a minor contribution to embark on an official career.
The only thing that cannot be that he was resurrected after death and secretly returned to the capital without showing himself.
He is a fallen hero, and he should appear openly and honestly; otherwise, he has something to hide.
And he did indeed have something to hide.
Therefore, he must not reveal his identity.
Ye Yunheng made a desperate gamble, about to stab Ye Zhen with a poisoned hidden weapon. Ye Zhen noticed and dodged, which allowed Ye Yunheng to break free from her grasp.
However, Ye Zhen seized the opportunity to take Ye Yunheng's sword.
Looking at the pattern on the sword hilt, Ye Zhen became even more certain of the man in black's identity. "You really are Ye Yunheng!"
Master said that the icon was something my mother particularly liked. She said it was called a five-pointed star, so my mother liked to put this icon on many things.
Ye Yunheng had been with his mother for many years, so it was perfectly normal for her to give him a sword.
Can.
"If you're not dead, why have you been hiding all these years?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunheng felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
He was careless.
He thought Ye Zhen was doomed, so he used the technique taught by Ye Jinghong. He didn't know that Ye Zhen also knew the ultimate sword technique, and that she was more skilled than him. He also didn't know that she recognized the sword.
Ye Jinghong clearly told him that she had only met Ye Zhen once, so how could Ye Zhen know Ye Jinghong so well?
Could it be that Ye Jinghong lied to him again, and that she had actually been in contact with Ye Zhen in private?
But he didn't have time to think about it, as Ye Zhen attacked again.
Ye Yunheng had only one thought: escape!
He absolutely cannot let Ye Zhen catch him again and see his face.
Ye Zhen couldn't let him escape, and just as he was about to give chase, a large group of assassins in black appeared and rescued Ye Yunheng in time.
"Miss!"
Yin Yue Wan Xing sheathed his sword and returned to Ye Zhen's side. "Is it really Ye Yun Heng?"
Ye Zhen nodded, his expression solemn.
Wanxing was shocked. "Master said that General Ye led the Red Tassel Army into the swamp to save him back then."
As a result, General Ye and his entire army were wiped out, but he survived. If he's alive, why hasn't he shown himself for so many years? And now he's back to kill you?
This is also why Ye Zhen is in a heavy mood.
No one in the world knew that her mother had fallen into the swamp to save Ye Yunheng. It was only after her master, the person directly involved, returned that she was told about it.
At that time, they all thought Ye Yunheng had also sacrificed himself, so they didn't think much of it.
But Ye Yunheng is still alive. If he was saved by chance like his master, why would he hide him?
He even sought refuge with Prime Minister Li?
Ye Zhen had a very bad feeling, but she couldn't help but think about it.
Then Yinyue said, "Miss, he should know about the switch back then."
He knew that Ye Wantang was his biological sister, which is why he helped Ye Wantang.
Otherwise, in Ye Yunheng's heart, Miss should be his sister. Even if the Ye family couple later said that Miss was not their biological sister, she was still their adopted sister. Logically, they shouldn't have tried to kill Miss right away.
"If that's the case, then it makes sense why he wanted to kill me."
Ye Yunheng was afraid that her and Ye Wantang's identities would be exposed. Even though Ye Zhengqing and his wife were dead, it was a fact that the Ye family had switched the royal daughter-in-law, and they could not escape the blame.
The son is responsible for the father's debts, and Ye Yunheng will also be implicated.
But is that really all there is to it?
Ye Zhen lowered her eyes to look at Ye Yunheng's sword. This sword, like her ultimate weapon, was much thinner and longer than an ordinary sword, with a groove in the middle to facilitate bleeding when killing enemies.
These are all weapons suitable for practicing deadly sword techniques.
The sword had a five-pointed star on it, which was her mother's favorite item, yet she gave it to Ye Yunheng.
This shows that the mother treated Ye Yunheng well.
If my guess is true...
Ye Zhen clenched her fists, determined to make Ye Yun die a violent death without a proper burial.
"Go back to the city!"
She needed to inform Xie Tingzhou about this matter promptly.
Why did Ye Yunheng, who survived the war, become close to Li Xiangguo? Did their contact only begin after he escaped, or were they already connected from the beginning?
If it's the latter, then they really need to investigate Prime Minister Li thoroughly.
At the Prime Minister's residence, Prime Minister Li slapped Ye Yunheng again, "Nonsense!"
"If I hadn't noticed in time and sent someone to rescue you, you would already be in Ye Zhen's hands, and might even be brought before the Emperor by now."
He sent Ye Yunheng to kill Ye Zhen, not to let him act so rashly. Now, he hasn't even killed him, and he's exposed his own identity.
"I had already written the memorial to commend you, but you caused such a commotion, ruining my entire plan and causing all my efforts to be in vain."
Damn it!
Ye Zhen recognized Ye Yunheng and knew about Ye Yunheng's relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, so the claim that Ye Yunheng was a spy in Xiyue would not work.
Otherwise, Ye Zhen might suspect his relationship with Xi Yue, and the emperor might also suspect him of disloyalty as a subject.
"Yun Heng was wrong, please punish me, Godfather."
Ye Yunheng also realized that he had acted impulsively.
The cold sweat on his back has not yet dissipated.
Li Xiangguo looked at him and said, "The original plan was for you to present the intelligence on the Muya branch of the Western Moon Kingdom to the emperor, so that the emperor could eliminate the Muya chieftain."
Now that your identity has been exposed, this intelligence can no longer be submitted. Yun Heng, do you realize that your recklessness has ruined your adoptive father's years of painstaking planning?
Ye Yunheng had followed Prime Minister Li for many years and knew some of his affairs. Realizing he had made a grave mistake, he apologized again and asked for punishment.
Li Xiangguo said in a deep voice, "You can no longer stay in the capital, and the Muya tribe can no longer prosper. You must set off immediately with men to assassinate the Muya chieftain."
After it's done, you can return to Beijing. During this time, your godfather will erase all traces of you from all these years. At that time, you should pretend to have amnesia and return to Beijing. I will then find a way to give you a new identity.
Otherwise, you will live your entire life in darkness, never to see the light of day again.
Ye Yunheng has already attracted Ye Zhen's attention. If she investigates thoroughly, she will definitely find him. The great cause is not yet accomplished, and he must not cause any more trouble.
Ye Yunheng dared not object and immediately left the Prime Minister's residence through a secret passage, then disguised himself as an old man buying vegetables and left the capital.
Ye Zhen also met with Xie Tingzhou.
Just then, Xie Tingzhou also had some new information to share with her. Upon seeing her, he asked, "Guess who Helian Qing's uncle is?"
