Imperial capital, imperial palace.

The Yun Clan's imperial palace is located in the north of the imperial capital, and the entire imperial city is magnificent, graceful and luxurious.

There are countless inner courtyards of the deep palace, during which the palace is connected in pairs, most of the eaves are loach ridges, the window rails are all finely carved patterns, and the roads paved with white stones lead to all directions.

In the main hall, Yun Yangting, the emperor of the imperial family, summoned Yun Yi alone in his busy schedule.

The Cloud Emperor sat alone on the dragon chair, even though he was already a fifty-year-old man, the breath on his body was restrained and deep, and he was not angry and arrogant.

Yun Yi below stood solemnly, looking mature and steady, looking at the people on the dragon chair, his respectful expression was self-evident.

With a wave of his hand, the servant closed the door and retreated.

Yun Yangting said solemnly: "Yi'er, have you ever participated in the matter of Feishui Stream?" ”

Feishui Stream, is where Qingyunzi had an accident, the battle for the source of chaos, even if only the family intervenes in this matter, but the paper can't contain the fire, and the news still spreads.

Facing Emperor Yun's inquiry, Yun Yi's heart tightened, "Back to my father, my sons did not participate. ”

Yun Yangting stared at him for a long time, and said calmly: "Yi'er, do you know that the national teacher is gone." ”

"National teacher?" Yun Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked as if puzzled: "Father, I heard that the national teacher is already on the way back, why is it gone?" ”

Yun Yangting said sharply: "The Yun Clan's escort team has not received the national teacher. ”

"Father, could it be that the national teacher is delayed on the road?" Yun Yi replied calmly, looking at Yun Huang's gaze, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Yun Yangting was slightly angry, and directly picked up a book on the table and threw it to Yun Yi.

"Take a good look for yourself, the place where the national teacher disappeared is in the Feishui Stream. What does this mean, someone dares to do something under my eyelids. ”

Yun Yi took the fold, opened it and looked at it, and the time and place of Yun Ji's return from the Nine Domains Barren Mountain were clearly recorded above.

The time was exactly one day away from the day of the accident, and none of the people he sent out had ever returned.

Moreover, judging from the information he heard, his people should have died in the contract beast of the national teacher. If this matter is leaked out, I am afraid that his good days will come to an end.

Yun Yangting continued: "Presumably you also know the importance of the National Teacher, he is going to the Nine Domains Barren Mountain, the stakes are very high, and there must be no accidents. ”

"Could it be that my father wants his sons to find the whereabouts of the national teacher?" Yun Yi asked cautiously.

Yun Yangting said: "People, naturally they are looking for it. It's not you looking, though. I want to know if the source of chaos is in the hands of the national teacher. ”

"Is the Source of Chaos in the hands of the National Teacher?"

Yun Yi looked surprised and looked incredulous.

"You don't know?"

Yun Yangting looked at him with a little more consideration in his heart.

Yun Yi was stunned and said with a sincere expression: "Father, I really don't know. A few days ago, I was busy in retreat and cultivation, and I didn't know anything about the outside world. I entered the palace today to meet my father, and I learned about these things. ”

Yun Yangting was silent for a moment, there was something more in his eyes, and then he said coldly: "In this case, from today onwards, I order you to strictly investigate this matter, pay attention to the movements of the major families, and be sure to investigate the whereabouts of the source of chaos." ”

What the! Yun Yi's face gradually changed, "Father, most of the people in the family are arrogant and rude, and the sons are afraid that the people under them will not be able to do things well, which will ruin the great affairs of the father." ”

In fact, what Yun Yi thought was that the people of the family had always had a bad relationship with the royal family, and if he went to investigate, he didn't know if he would have the life to come back alive.

Yun Yangting's eyes sank, and the look in his eyes was not very good, "If you are because of the incompetence of your subordinates, my personal guards can be sent by you." ”

Yun Yi was shocked and said urgently: "This, no, father, the personal guard is your personal guard, how dare the sons dare to use it." ”

Yun Yangting said: "Why not, do you dare to disobey my order." ”

"No, Erchen doesn't dare."

Yun Yangting retracted his expression and said, "Yun Yi listens to the order, I order you to thoroughly investigate the source of chaos, and from now on, you can use the pro-guard team until this matter is over." ”

"The retainers obeyed."

This can be regarded as a difficult to ride a tiger, Yun Yi knelt down to accept the order, and felt very annoyed.

Yun Yangting said: "Okay, you retreat, I'm tired." ”

"Yes", Yun Yi got up, said goodbye to Yun Huang, and retreated with a heavy heart.

At this moment, a person walked out from behind the dragon chair. Dressed in palace clothes, with a phoenix crown on his head, he is charming and majestic.

The woman smiled: "Your Majesty can rest assured that this kid has never been honest." ”

Yun Yangting didn't look back, when he heard the voice, he knew who was coming, and said with peace of mind: "His temperament is with you, and I just know it in my heart, so I let him do it, lest he make some headaches for me." ”

The woman walked up to Yun Yangting and sat directly on his lap, "Your Majesty, you will spoil him like this." ”

Yun Yangting looked at her with a doting face, and said tenderly: "Ye Yao, hearing you say this, I seem to have treated you badly." ”

Ye Yao hugged Yun Yangting's neck with both hands, and said with a smile: "No, the concubine is already very content with His Majesty's favor." ”

Yun Yangting pinched her face and said, "You, I really fell in love with your way. ”

"Hehe", Ye Yao laughed crisply.

Ye family.

It's been a few days since the last time the corpse suddenly appeared at the door of the Ye clan.

On the one hand, Ye Ming sent people to look for Ye Wuchen, and on the other hand, he also sent people to investigate the matter. However, the results of the investigation were not so satisfactory.

The people under his command sent back the news, and most of these people were spies of major families, and they all died under the same method.

Putting down the letter in his hand, Ye Ming frowned deeply, at that time, he had also seen the wounds on those corpses. Long but not deep, short but powerful, the style of action is very similar to the practice of the Black Market Heavenly Venerable...... But what is their purpose in doing so? Why did they target the Ye family?

Could it be because of the conflict on the black market last time? Although Ye Ming only learned about this matter later, he also knew that Ye Jianren was Ye Wuchen's person, and sometimes, even he couldn't meddle in Ye Wuchen's affairs at will.

However, now that things have developed like this, if they don't stop it, then what will the Ye family become? Is it a gradual decline like the Li family?

No, he would never allow such a situation to occur in the Ye family's hands.

So Ye Ming summoned the clan elders and held the longest clan meeting on the situation of the Ye clan, and no one knew what they said.

Since that clan meeting, the Ye clan has chosen to live in a simple way, rarely asking about the Ye clan's affairs, and most of the times when he needs to make a choice, he will hand it over to the clan elder to deal with, and he chooses to retreat and cultivate.

The matter of the corpse seems to have calmed down in the Ye clan.

On the second day, when Ye Wuchen returned to the Black Phase Pavilion, it was already night, and Ye Xuan was sent by him to investigate the situation of the Ye clan.

Entering the attic, it was pitch black inside, Ye Wuchen lit the candle, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of him like that.

Ye Ming looked at the person in front of him indifferently, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, and after a long time, he said, "Where did you go?" ”

"Something, get out."

Ye Wuchen didn't have much surprise when he saw someone coming, and sat straight to the side.

Ye Ming looked dissatisfied, and rebuked slightly: "You just talk to your grandfather like this, didn't your father teach you how to behave?" ”

"What did you say!"

Ye Wuchen turned his head to look at him, and suddenly laughed angrily: "Grandpa, are you counted?" Who handed me over back then, and I was gone for five years, do you know what I went through? You still mentioned to me my father, whether I have learned to be a man or not, it's not all because of you. ”

"Ye Wuchen!"

Ye Ming was furious and shouted by name, "Do you know what you're talking about? You really think that I don't dare to kill you. ”

"Oh", Ye Wuchen's face did not change, and he said indifferently: "You kill, anyway, you can do it to your father back then, and you can do it to me." ”

"Bastard."

Ye Ming slapped his palm on the stone table, and said angrily: "At the beginning, why did I choose such a thing as you, look at your current appearance, do you have the appearance of the young master of the Ye family." ”

"Hehe", Ye Wuchen smiled sarcastically, "I don't need the false names you fancy at all." What have you gained all your life for fame, profit, and power? ”

Ye Ming's face was deep, and he said, "Hmph, let me tell you, for the sake of the Ye clan, even if it is to pay my old life, I will not hesitate to do it." ”

This is the hope of several generations of the Ye clan for thousands of years, how can he easily say that he will give up?

"Enough".

Ye Wuchen's face turned cold, and he said in disgust: "I don't want to argue with you about these things that have passed, directly explain the purpose of your coming here, if it's okay, please go out." ”

Ye Ming paused for a moment and said solemnly: "I came to you today to tell you that no matter what you are doing, I will not object." However, if what you do hurts the interests of the Ye clan, then I will definitely not let you do anything. ”

"Finished?"

Ye Wuchen said without the slightest emotion: "If you finish speaking, just leave." My place here is too small to accommodate you, the high-ranking Ye family patriarch. ”

"Smack"

The crisp slap was a little loud in the attic, and Ye Ming said sharply: "Ye Wuchen, you remember, since you were born in the Ye family, you can only do things for the Ye family, otherwise, you don't want to see your mother again." ”

Hehe, it's this excuse again...

Ye Wuchen lowered his head, the hatred in his eyes had already spread, since you are desperately trying to guard this Ye clan, then I will tear down everything you want, one by one.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye Ming turned around and walked out, since the words had already been spoken, I believe he also knew how to do it.

In the attic, the candle flame flickered, and Ye Wuchen sat alone at the stone table, his expression a little confused.

While hatred completely took over his mind, there was a different look in his eyes.

In the sky and the earth, where the clouds are all over the place, there is a man sitting on the reverse current.

He couldn't see the face of the man above the countercurrent, but he could vaguely hear what he said.

"Looking for her, the chaotic constitution ......"

Ye Wuchen felt as if his body was imprisoned in place, unable to move.

But, "Who is she?" ”

Like an old monk in a trance, Ye Wuchen closed his eyes and fell into a dream.
