Chapter 257: Detention

Dai Qiuyan found it difficult to write, and chatted casually for a while in the small building where a few close ladies and ladies gathered, and Ye Tao drew a pencil light bust for Song Xiangjun with his skillful skills. Although it is only a combination of simple lines and color blocks, it fully shows the unique temperament of Song Xiangjun. A simple portrait that was completed in a few minutes has won a lot of praise. And Ye Tao's non-flirtatious explanation also caused bursts of laughter. What he said: "It is easier for men to discover the beauty of women than women. ”

Before returning to the place where he settled in Yuhang, a guard Pegasus who was originally stationed in the courtyard where he settled came to report: Chen Kai was arrested by the Chunnan Forbidden Army, and now he is in the dungeon of the Forbidden Army's Governor's Mansion.

Speaking of which, because there are so many things to consider this time, Ye Tao has forgotten about Chen Kai a little. Although Chen Kai's identity is more peculiar, Ye Tao really didn't take such a character too seriously. Since not many people knew Chen Kai's identity, Ye Tao did not take too many measures such as protection and surveillance against Chen Kai. In fact, Chen Kai himself felt very strange, although he usually had a guard or a sergeant from the special battalion far away when he went out. did not confine him up, but allowed Chen Kai to enter and leave the courtyard that Ye Tao had wrapped up at will, which was really unexpected. And Chen Kai naturally makes full use of this trust...... Or indulgence.

Chen Kai would run out every day, walk around the bustling Yuhang at will, and occasionally sit in the restaurant and tea shop to listen to all kinds of remarks in the middle of the market. He didn't have much money around him, and now he can even withdraw a small pocket money from Ye Tao's account office, which is not very rich, but is enough for shopping, drinking, and tea. And this kind of life of not having to worry about safety, not having to get entangled in all kinds of complicated struggles, and not having to think about anything complicated makes him feel very happy...... Though. It's a bit boring indeed. In the past few days, Chen Kai even went to participate in activities such as garden fairs twice among the Dongping scholars.

Naturally, Chen Kai knew that there was a premise for his freedom, that is, he could not try to escape. For the time being, he had no such attempt. Breaking away from Ye Tao's control didn't do him any good.

And when he was walking around the streets of Yuhang today, when he turned back one time, Chen Kai suddenly found that the guard behind him who had greeted him when he went out in the morning was gone. He didn't think he should or could get rid of the guy, so he immediately turned around and went to the guard. Unexpectedly, when he just stepped into a relatively secluded alley, he was blocked, and then a group of guys wearing the uniform of the Chunnan Forbidden Army carried him away......

Although the guard who was originally attached behind Chen Kai was good, he was indeed a good man, but he couldn't stand up to the crowd, and he was blocked in the alley by a group of Chunnan Forbidden Army experts and knocked unconscious. After the Chunnan Forbidden Army kidnapped Chen Kai, he woke up an hour under the push of a kind passerby, and hurriedly rushed back to the house to report the situation. As soon as the guards received the news. Immediately come and inform Ye Tao. The importance of Chen Kai is self-evident. Ye Tao doesn't detain Chen Kai That's Ye Tao's self-talk, but if you want Chen Kai to fall into the hands of others, that's another matter.

After the guards explained the situation in a few simple words, Ye Tao asked, "How do you know that Chen Kai is in the Forbidden Army's Governor's Mansion?" ”

The guards reported that they had received news from Huo Dong. After arriving in Yuhang, Ye Tao took out 100,000 taels of silver. gave it to Huo Dong and Zhao Yan, let them distribute it, and thanked the guards who accompanied them all the way. Naturally, Huo Dong got a considerable share in it. Although Huo Dong's status is not very high. But it is still possible to inquire about such inconsequential information. On the way from Vanke Villa to Yuhang, Huo Dong also chatted with Chen Kai more or less and had a good impression of this young man.

"Go to the Forbidden Army Governor's Mansion." Ye Tao calmly ordered: "Send Her Royal Highness the Princess and Qiu Yan to the branch of the Seven Seas Trading Company." Inform everyone immediately, get ready, get ready! ”

"Yes!" The guard turned around and went to give orders.

Ye Tao is obviously ready to recapture Chen Kai at all costs. And this kind of tough attitude seems to have been expected by everyone, and Liu Yong didn't even show any special application.

The Governor of the Forbidden Army in Chunnan was a short and fat old guy named Ma Kun. Seeing Ye Tao rushing to the door like this. Surprised. Although he is in Yuhang, Ma Kun is also a little weak.

"General Ma, give me back the people. I won't pursue this matter. Ye Tao said bluntly.

Ma Kun smiled and said, "Ye Jingluo, how did you say this?" ”

"Since you don't dare to simply kill my local guards and destroy the corpses, so that I have no clues, do you want me to admit this matter like this? Do you think, is it possible? Ye Tao asked.

"Ye Jingluo, this person is a fugitive...... You can't stand up for this kind of person, sir, right? Ma Kun said cautiously. Ma Kun has no reason or position to elaborate on the circumstances of the matter. But he didn't use the land to fight with Ye Tao. To know. really annoyed Ye Tao, that would be a big trouble.

"Xiling fugitive. That's right. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let me be clear, this is the person I want to protect. You hand them over now, or it won't be that simple. Ye Tao's tone already carried a bit of threat in it.

Ma Kun was a little stunned at this time, it turned out that the person who informed himself about this thing said that the identity of this person was special, and Ye Tao would not make this thing big is how unreliable it is. It's harmful. But Ma Kun didn't want to relax, he just didn't want to make things bigger. Now the place where they are is the Governor's Mansion of the Chunnan Forbidden Army, just outside the palace. There are more than 2,000 troops in the governor's palace at any time, and there are 4,000 to 5,000 forbidden troops and palace guards in the palace, and there are more than 10,000 people in the Yushan battalion guarding Yuhang not far away. He felt in his heart that there was no reason to give in to Ye Tao no matter what.

But Ye Tao didn't just pay lip service to the threat, and when he entered the military governor's mansion, all the people in Dongping in Yuhang began to operate at high speed. In the end, Tan Weiying did not go to the branch of the Seven Seas Trading Company but returned to the Dongping Mission Station, but both the Seven Seas Trading Company Branch and the Mission Station immediately began to invite all the Chunnan people in the range, and then began to prepare for battle very clearly. Ye Tao's courtyard began to redress the whole army, and directly opened the team and marched towards the Forbidden Army Governor's Mansion, with bright clothes and armor, looking ready to fight. And the sight of hundreds of cavalry galloping in battle formation on the thoroughfare of Yuhang may leave an indelible impression in the minds of the people of Yuhang. However, the limited number of Dongping now seems to be the biggest threat to Chunnan, but instead comes from the Nanami Trading Company's fleet in the port.

All fourteen Huya ships forcibly left the dock and entered the harbor, blocking the entire shipping lane. The ballistae of different light and heavy models were full of torsion springs and equipped with oil bombs II. In addition to the Chunnan warships in the port, these warships were aiming at the bustling streets behind the docks, and they had the intention of setting fire to the city if they didn't say a word......

In a short time, everything was ready. Seeing this strange scene, rumors immediately spread among the people of Chunnan. Dongping's response was too fast, as if it had been coordinated and drilled many times, but in fact, everyone really didn't have the effort to do this kind of design and drill.

Ye Tao sat in the Forbidden Army Governor's Mansion so well, not caring at all about the tense atmosphere around him. Ma Kun accompanied nervously, and he didn't dare to really leave Ye Tao and do what he cared about. If he is really in a high position or simply a petty official who has nothing to do with a big man like Ye Tao, it would be fine, but now his power is enough to know that Ye Tao is now the key person who is currently leading the negotiations between the two countries...... And today's matter of catching Chen Kai back, it seems that it is indeed a basket that he poked, if he brushes his sleeves away at this time, Shu Shuang is comfortable, but the consequences after that are not something he can bear.

One by one, the Chunnan Forbidden Army shuttled in, came to Ma Kun's side and whispered a report, and then ran out. Many of the soldiers of the Forbidden Army were still very puzzled and annoyed, why did this troublesome guy dare to sit here so loudly, as if he was a bystander?

Ye Tao didn't think he was a bystander, but he decided that Chunnan now had something to ask him for. Conflict will not be allowed to happen. Not to mention that he still has a reason now, even if it is really his fault, Chunnan doesn't dare to say or do anything. And the more pressure there is now, the more leeway there will be for a posture of calmly getting out later.

Ma Kun's face became more and more solemn and pale, when the horn of the Yushan battalion not far away sounded, the melodious and depressed voice floated into his ears, he finally couldn't hold it back, jumped up and said to Ye Tao: "Ye Jingluo, no matter what, you made this kind of incident in Yuhang, but are you really deceiving me that there is no one in Chunnan?" If you think about where you are now, this is the Governor's Mansion of the Chunnan Forbidden Army, if there is really a conflict, can you afford it? What do you want? Do you think I really don't dare to touch you? ”

Ye Tao shrugged his shoulders, not knowing if he could do it, but still drank his tea with peace of mind. And Liu Yong and Guan Huan, who were standing behind Ye Tao, both laughed.

Then, a captain of the Chunnan Forbidden Army ran in with a panicked face, and leaned next to Ma Kun's ear to report: In order to prevent Ye Tao's guards from entering Suzaku Street, the Yushan Battalion has sent 2,000 people out to block it. The ships of the Nanami Trading Company have all hoisted the battle flag and the collision flag......

Is Ye Tao here for real or fake? And is that guy in the dungeon really that important? Ma Kun is completely unsure.
