Rebirth of the Phoenix

lure her in

After hearing this, Hongzhuang looked shocked and worried, and kept patting her chest: "It's too scary! How could anyone dare to do such a thing to the general of the imperial court under the emperor's feet? General Ye must be careful himself, as well as the palace and the imperial court, but

We can't just let it go and ignore this matter..."

She acted very naturally, as if she was really surprised and a little scared.

Yue Yinghua couldn't tell that she was acting.

He is also very good at acting.

His eyes dimmed slightly, and he sighed softly: "They are all rumors with no basis, and General Ye was not harmed in any way, and the court has nothing to do with it. We only hope that General Ye will not be careless and protect himself more.

But Mr. Ye has always liked to be alone. There is not even a guard in the mansion, and he is not even willing to have a personal guard. No matter how we try to persuade him, he just doesn’t listen. He just says to kill as many as he wants, alas——"

His sigh showed helplessness and worry.

Hong Zhuang sympathized with him: "I also heard that General Ye is very stubborn and has offended many people. Third Young Master, you and General Ye are good friends. Although General Ye has a somewhat tough temper, he is a rare talent and a pillar of the country. You

But you must help him."

Yue Yinghua smiled: "That's natural. As long as General Ye leads his troops on the road, no matter how powerful the killer is, it is impossible for him to break through two thousand soldiers and horses to take his head. General Ye will stay in the mansion tonight.

, we will check into the military camp tomorrow, and lead the troops to Moyun City the morning after tomorrow. As long as we survive tonight safely, everything will be fine."

Hongzhuang nodded and smiled slightly: "General Ye is blessed with great fortune and will be fine."

"That's what I said," Yue Yinghua sighed, "There's only one last night left, and I'm afraid those people will jump over the wall and take action on this night."

At this point, he lowered his voice: "Miss Hongzhuang and Young Master Ye are friends. I won't hide it from you. In the days after General Ye returned to Beijing after pacifying the rebels, he almost piled up the emperor's collection of his excerpts.

On the desk, several ministers and generals were kneeling directly in front of the imperial study room,

Ask the emperor to severely punish General Ye. Fortunately, the emperor thought that General Ye was a rare talent. He was still young, had just arrived, and was not very experienced in dealing with people, so he suppressed those memorials and sent him to a remote place to temper his temper.

At the same time, you can stay away from the place of right and wrong.”

When Hongzhuang heard about this for the first time, her surprise was palpable: "There is such a thing! Fortunately, the emperor is smart and employs people in an eclectic way. I have heard before that the emperor of Xiliang loves talents as much as he orders and appoints people on their own merits.

, it seems that is really the case.”

Yue Yinghua nodded: "The Emperor is determined to protect General Ye, but General Ye may not be able to guard against hidden arrows."

He sighed softly: "It just so happened that the people he offended were almost all important members of the army who worked hard on the battlefield. Who was not ruthless and ruthless, and who was not strong-willed? They obviously couldn't touch General Ye, but secretly, how could they swallow this?

Tone? Tonight is probably a very dangerous night for General Ye."

Hongzhuang looked frightened again, her eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, and she actually looked cute.

"Third Young Master, why don't you send some people to guard General Ye tonight?"

"General Ye doesn't like to be followed and stared at, so I can only secretly send a few experts to sneak into the general's mansion," Yue Yinghua said, "It's just that he is busy with official duties now, and I'm afraid that he will return home too late and be picked up on the way.

I've caught my eye. Alas, his kung fu is too high, and I don't dare send people to follow him all the time. If someone discovers him and causes misunderstanding, it will be in trouble..."

"Me too," Hongzhuang also sighed. "Although I have only met General Ye once, his temperament is indeed very stubborn and cold. He may not accept other people's kindness, but -"

She then smiled cheerfully: "Master Ye's kung fu is so good, if there is a killer following him, I believe he will be able to find it."

Yue Yinghua smiled: "I think so too."

Having said this, he still couldn't help but sigh: "I hope the other party will not use weapons such as bows and crossbows..."

Hongzhuang chuckled: "No, if you use that kind of weapon, it will be easily detected, right?"

It is not easy to make powerful crossbows at close range. Generally, only government-run weapons manufacturing institutions can make them. It is also illegal for non-government organizations to develop such high-risk weapons.

Yue Yinghua hit her head with a fan: "What the red-zhuang girl said is that I think too much."

Next, he kept silent about Yejiu's affairs, and chatted with Hongzhuang about some miscellaneous secrets of the capital. It was not until the sun was over that he said goodbye and left Qunfang Tower.

The sky darkens slowly in summer. By the time it gets completely dark, it is already Haishi, and most people fall asleep at this time.

At this time, the little turtle ran back panting and told her: "Miss Hongzhuang went out in the afternoon, and she was there for about an hour..."

Yue Yinghua said: "Oh, what has she done?"

Xiao Gui paused and looked ashamed: "I followed her into Sanli Alley. There were too many people in Sanli Alley, so I lost her and I don't know what she did..."

Sanli Alley can be said to be the most prosperous and lively alley in Tiandu. It is three miles long and only one foot wide. Both sides are densely packed with various small stalls and shops. Small vendors traveling from south to north sell various domestic products.

Foreign food and groceries are sold in all sizes. It is the favorite place for ordinary people in Tiandu to go shopping, and it is never deserted all year round.

I feel so ashamed that a person like him has overlooked a woman. I feel so ashamed.

Yue Yinghua did not rush to blame him, but asked him: "Do you think she dumped you intentionally or unintentionally?"

He knew very well the ability of Little Turtle to stalk him. On this day, there were probably not even ten people who could escape his stalking. Could that girl with red makeup be able to detect and escape his stalking?

Little Turtle thought for a while, then said truthfully with a grimace: "I don't know..."

His answer really surprised Yue Yinghua: "Can't you see it?"

Xiao Gui looked frustrated: "Sir, there are too many people in that alley. I have a body like a loach, but it's hard to squeeze in... Hey, I squeezed in, and the figure of the girl with red makeup disappeared.

, I couldn’t find it no matter how hard I looked. The girl with red makeup never looked back or looked around. She looked very normal and didn’t seem like she was being watched. However, I felt that she deliberately went to the crowd to talk.

It’s really hard to judge if you dig into the place.”

Yue Yinghua closed her eyes and thought for a while: "What happened next?"

Little Turtle said: "I walked all over Sanli Alley, but I didn't find the girl with red makeup. I walked around again for about an hour, and finally returned to Qunfang Building. The girl with red makeup had come back a long time ago. I heard that

Bought some needlework, rouge and

When I came back with snacks, they were all extra products from Sanli Alley. After that, the red-zhuang girl stayed in Fuyun Pavilion without going anywhere. She was also receiving a few blue-eyed cannibals tonight, and she would probably be busy until very late.

Only then can I sneak back..."

After Yue Yinghua listened to him quietly, she said, "Think about it again. Did Miss Hongzhuang do anything suspicious today or come into contact with suspicious people?"

Little Turtle thought about it and scratched his head: "It's really gone. She went to the street to buy things, that is, she talked to the vendors. Those vendors are all familiar faces, so it is unlikely that there will be any problems..."

Yue Yinghua gently shook her folding fan and fell into deep thought: Could it be that he was really overthinking it?

The girl with red makeup has nothing to do with Ye Jiu, the killer?

However, this day is his territory. Ye Jiu has only been here for less than half a year, and the people he has come into contact with are extremely limited. He is very clear about Ye Jiu's connections. If Hongzhuang is not helping him secretly, who else can be?

Really no more!

After thinking for a long time, he said: "Okay, don't stare at the girl with red makeup. Keep staring at the surroundings of the general's mansion. You will keep an eye on me for the last night."

"Are you going to stare at me all night again?" Little Turtle began to cry out, "Master, I'm still a child and I'm growing taller. If I do this kind of thing every night, I'll fall down from exhaustion and won't grow taller..."

Yue Yinghua glared at him: "Okay, okay, if you are really tired, go to Qianzhumen and pick two people to help you, but you must not be discovered by anyone."

The Heavenly Prison Sect and the Thousand Spider Sect are two secret organizations that he started to create ten years ago. The Heavenly Prison Sect is responsible for protecting him and killing people, while the Thousand Spider Sect is a huge intelligence organization. Naturally, there are many members who follow and spy on him.

, the ambush top master.

When Little Turtle heard this, his eyes lit up: "Okay, okay, as long as I have the help of the seniors from Qianzhumen, I will definitely complete the mission successfully."

The people of Qianzhumen are very powerful. With them watching secretly, he can hide and sleep secretly.

"Don't be lazy and take a nap!" Yue Yinghua glared at him and warned.

"Oh - got it." The little turtle stuck out his tongue and ran away.

Yue Yinghua was the only one left in the study.

Yue Yinghua closed her eyes and tapped her folding fan on the palm of her hand: whether she was secretly helping Ye Jiu or not, we still can't make a conclusion yet!

Even if she didn't come into contact with any suspicious people this afternoon, even if she didn't go out tonight, it doesn't mean she didn't do anything!

Others can buy murderer Ye Jiu, and she can also buy murderer Ye Jiu. Moreover, with her current status, it will not be difficult for her to come into contact with any figures or intermediaries in the world. Therefore, he still has to be cautious and not include her in the "irrelevant" list.

Personnel” list.

After arranging the matter and thinking it through clearly, he withdrew his thoughts and turned to the memorial in front of him.

My father is getting older and his health is not as good as before. Now he only cares about the military and not politics. He handles all government affairs. He is also very busy.

After a night, Xiao Gui came back and reported: "Sir, last night, the three of us separately guarded the front and back alleys of the General's Mansion and saw a few suspicious people."

"Oh," Yue Yinghua's eyes flashed, "You got it?"

"No." Xiao Gui shook his head, "Those suspicious characters only ambush and never took action. We watched them all night and didn't see any movement from them. It's strange."

Yue Yinghua pondered for a while and then smiled: "Do you know where they come from and what their skills are?"
