"Ye Yunyi, this time is our real fight, you easily took away my position as the Pavilion Master of the Dark Pavilion before, let me teach you today, how are you, the so-called Pavilion Master", Wan Duan, who walked out of the headquarters of the Dark Pavilion, looked at the scenery in the distance, and not only thought.

In fact, Ye Yunyi at this moment still didn't know that he had been targeted by others, and he was still rushing to Chudu with his father.

If you want to say that the dispute between Ye Yunyi and Wan Duan has to start from a long time ago, the succession of the previous cabinet master of the dark pavilion was recommended by the previous cabinet master, and then he was appointed by the royal family, and he was officially cultivated, and there was more than one candidate, Wan Duan was one of the previous candidates for the master of the dark pavilion.

If it weren't for Ye Yunyi's birth, it is estimated that the current Dark Pavilion Master would be him.

He Wan Duan was the heir personally recommended by the previous pavilion master, but because Gao Zu ascended the throne, Gao Zu was not very satisfied when appointing the heir of the Dark Pavilion Pavilion, because he didn't trust the previous people very much, so he wanted to choose a person worthy of his trust to be the new Dark Pavilion Master.

It just so happened that Ye Yunyi's appearance attracted Gao Zu's attention, and Ye Yunyi's grandfather was the closest person to Gao Zu, so no matter what, Ye Yunyi was more suitable than Wan Duan. As a result, Wan Duan became the Kansi of Suizhou County, and Ye Yunyi successfully inherited the Dark Pavilion.

With the twists and turns, Ye Yunyi is not clear, and this matter is a secret, and no outsiders know about it, only Wan Duan should be clear, so he has been secretly developing and cultivating his own power over the years, in order to fight with Ye Yunyi once, and see what Ye Yunyi has to do to seize the position of the master of his Dark Pavilion.

In that battle of Qingyun City, no one from the nine states and counties of Chu sent troops to help, except for Yunfeng County and Lanze County, which were related to Ye Yunyi, the other seven states and counties did not send troops, and there was also his shadow of Wanduan.

With his efforts over the years, he has secretly controlled at least three states and counties, and this time he wants to use these to have a real battle with Ye Yunyi.

Presumably, after Ye Yunyi comes back this time, he will definitely use the imperial court to deal with the states and counties that have not supported Qingyun City these few times, and he can just use the three states and counties in his hands to compete with Ye Yunyi.

"I just don't know if he can return to Chudu alive"? Wan Duan chuckled, then left Chudu, preparing to make a move on Ye Yunyi's way back.

Just when Wan Duan was about to make a move, the county guards of the other seven states and counties were also anxious, their behavior this time was tantamount to treason, and the imperial court could easily open the knife to them, although this time the 100,000 troops of Qingyun City in the hands of the imperial court had already consumed most of them, and it was impossible to do anything to them for a while, but sooner or later, it was like a knife hanging on their heads, ready to fall at any time.

"What should we do, Gu Junshou, is it possible that we will sit and wait to die, if the court makes a vacant move, we basically have no way to live, and this time Qu Tianhong is personally in charge of the overall situation, he is not a soft-hearted person." In the Hedu County Guard's Mansion, several of the county guard's subordinate officials gathered in the county guard's mansion, waiting for their county guard to decide on the next step.

At this time, Gu Wen, who was sitting in the position of the county guard, was also anxious, it was these people under him who advised him not to send troops, in case the Chu State died, he could also use these guards to be better with the Yan State, and when the Yan State captured the Chu State, he did not send troops to support Qingyun City, which was his biggest honor guard in the face of the Yan State.

As a result, it turned out that something was going on, and they asked themselves one by one what to do, but didn't they decide together.

"I also heard that Ye Beijiang will arrive in Chudu in a few days, once Ye Beijiang comes back, we have no chance of winning, the soldiers of our counties have more or less come out of Ye Beijiang's men, in case Ye Beijiang comes to appease, do you say we have soldiers?"

A subordinate official said his thoughts, which was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and making several people present change color.

"I think if we don't contact Master Qu at this time and strive for frank leniency, maybe it's not a big problem, even if we have to be punished, it won't be very serious," one of the soldiers under the county guard said his thoughts. This is very reasonable, even if there is a punishment, it is better than being copied and killed.

"No, the county guard, if we give in, and the court is not responsible, then we are not meat on the board," just as the county guard decided to do so, another person spoke again. In fact, only they know in their hearts, not that they are afraid, but that they are used to being guarded on the frontier, and the court has extensive management over them, and they can enjoy it on their own territory, and once they fall in love with this kind of life, they don't want to give up.

This is also related to the internal affairs of the court of Chu over the years, when Gaozu was there, although there were some restrictions on the states and counties, but after Chu Mian took office, he only cared about his own pleasure and made a mess of the court.

"This also makes sense," the county guard Gumin hesitated, this is not that nor that, that can't be done, just wait for death.

"County guard, in my opinion, I don't want us to do nothing, now the threat to us is Ye Beijiang, if we let Ye Beijiang not come back, then the threat to us will not exist, and then we can continue to be our own county guard minister on our territory."

A group of people dressed as wealthy businessmen said that these are the representatives of the rich businessmen and magnates who have controlled the local finances in recent years, and while the local power continues to expand, these local families have also seized the opportunity to constantly loot the people and collude with local officials, forming a force to be reckoned with.

For businessmen, profit comes first, which is why he will say such a sentence in order to protect their interests. Asking them to hand over their interests is tantamount to asking for their lives. Once the state and county are completely attached to the imperial court, then it will definitely be difficult for those giants waiting for them.

"That's Ye Beijiang, it's not something ordinary people can deal with." Voices of opposition immediately rang out.

"Wait, you go on," the old county guard told the man to continue.

"County guard, I think you know all these years, we have made a lot of money on our own territory, of course, most of them are filial piety to you, if we are attached to the imperial court, then the imperial court will definitely not sit idly by with us, and then our good days will come to an end."

"Get to the point".

"I heard that Ye Beijiang didn't bring anyone with him this time, if we ambush the killer on the way they came, and then blame Yan Guo, you said that Ye Beijiang's death would be more beneficial to us?"

"Yes, but Ye Beijiang is not an idle person, in case we miss, then what awaits us is not a dead end."

"No, no, no, the county guard, don't forget, we are not the only county that has not sent troops, and there are not a few who have the same idea as us, we are just mending the sword."

"Okay, that's it."

This businessman did not miscalculate, at the same time that this one county bought off his killers to kill Ye Beijiang, the other two counties also sent killers, preparing to intercept and kill Ye Beijiang.

Only two states and counties handed over the plea to the imperial court, which shows that in such a world, only interests will make people desperate.

With the killers ambushing in front of Ye Beijiang and Ye Yunyi, Ye Yunyi didn't know that he was still walking with his father, and at the same time, because he had to walk for more than ten days to reach a state and county, the news of the dark web could not be conveyed instantly.

When these states and counties were about to move, in the Chu Capital Chu Palace, Xuanqi had already known that Ye Yunyi's journey was very dangerous through the news transmitted by the secret agents of the states and counties, so he kept launching secret agents close to Ye Yunyi's surroundings, hoping to convey the news to Ye Yunyi in time.

However, even so, it was estimated that it would be too late for the news to reach Ye Yunyi.
