Chapter 157
On the way out of the house to look for Konghe in the testing ground, Haiyan's meaningful smile appeared in Yeyi's mind more than once.

She was almost sure that this guy must have no good intentions in his stomach, even if he promised to help her.

There was the sound of something flying in the air, Ye Yi raised his head, but there were two pigeons flying from the pine forest in front, one after the other, towards the north facing the howling wind.

Ye Yi felt that something was wrong, she instinctively felt that it was not normal for pigeons to appear in Shiba's house.

Kong He hated these feathered things since he was a child, and with Haiyan's personality, he would never raise them at home.

Just as he was hesitating, his body reacted more instinctively. Ye Yi already used Shunpo on his feet, and fled towards the direction of the pine forest.

The heavy snow in the past few days has accumulated on the pine branches, covering the original green, and there is a piece of snow everywhere.

However, there were tiny and incomplete footprints on the white snow, presumably the people who were originally in the pine forest heard Ye Yi's small footsteps and left in a hurry without finishing.

Ye Yi clearly remembered that this pine forest was in the extreme south of Shiba's house, and further south was Konghe's special testing ground.

So there are not many people passing by here at ordinary times, only when Kong He occasionally takes a shortcut to the test site, he goes here.

But these uncleaned footprints on the snow were clearly not Kong He's.Because this person should have a very good Shunpo foundation.

Those footprints that were too late to clean up were only lightly touched on the snow, and did not leave too deep marks.

With Konghe's Shunbu footwork, it should not have reached this level.

Startled suddenly, Ye Yi carefully looked at the direction of those footprints in the forest.

But those near the edge of the forest have been wiped clean, and only the footprints near the center of the forest are the clearest.

It seems to stay the longest, it should be the place where the man released the pigeons.

The imprint meandered around the forest several times, and exited the forest from a westward direction.Ye Yi looked west.

Further north there is the main hall of Shiba's house and the place where Haiyan Konghe and the others live, and there are also many servants and maids living in that direction.

A lot of time has passed, people have already left, and no clues can be found after further investigation.

Ye Yi frowned, and turned back to study those footprints carefully, but found that some of them were light and some heavy, and their distribution was not very regular.

And it is very messy at times, making it impossible to guess the purpose of the people in the woods.

The footprints were much denser in a small place, and they went around in many circles.

Near the root of a pine tree, Ye Yi saw something lying on the snow next to the cracked and open bark, quietly flowing soft white light.

Yeyi squatted down and picked it up from the snow, it was a white jade tablet that was extremely warm and delicate to the touch.

Looking at the translucent and pure light it emits, you can tell that it is suet jade, and it is the top grade among them.

A candy-colored goat struggling to kick the ground is engraved on the jade plate. The goat's curved horns are facing the sky proudly.

It seemed that the footprints around the tree were left by this person when he was anxiously looking for the dropped jade tablet.

Thinking about it, Ye Yi clenched the jade token and ran towards the testing ground where Kong He was.

"I don't know where it came from. My family has never seen it before. Ask my brother and maybe he will know."

Kong He put down the firecracker he was experimenting with, and looked carefully at the jade plaque brought over by Ye.

"As for pigeons, it's impossible for our family to raise them. I hate those things." Kong He spread his hands.

From the moment he found those deliberately erased footprints and jade plaques, Yeyi believed that those pigeons were not just pets.

If there is any news from Zhibo's house, it is the easiest and most convenient thing to release it with a carrier pigeon.

But the question is: who released these pigeons?What kind of news is tied to the feet of these pigeons?
How long has that man been here?To whom do you provide news about Shiba's family?

Ye Yi concentrated and thought carefully about the ins and outs of all the clues: pigeons, abnormal noises, footprints, and jade plaques.

She faintly felt that there must be some connection between these broken fragments, but those thoughts were always fleeting, making it impossible for people to catch anything.

When it was time for dinner in the evening, Haiyan lost her mind when she saw the jade token that Yeyi took out, and was in a daze when she couldn't take another bite of the meal.

Yeben wanted to ask the details on the spot, but it was difficult to speak because there were too many people.

When all the dishes were removed, only the three of them were left in the room.

Yeyi heard Haiyan's worried voice: "Yeyi, this is a jade badge for identity verification that only people with high ranks in Xuye Palace have, and it actually appeared at Zhibo's house."

Ye Yi's eyes widened: "Haiyan, what happened?"

Haiyan sighed, and explained slowly: You know that not everyone can enter the Xuye Palace, only people with relatively high levels can enter and exit freely.

And get the sign to recognize each other.This is the one in front of me, but I don't know whose it is. "

Ye Yi also understood the seriousness of the matter, and continued after a pause: Then Haiyan, the person hiding in your house, is a very high-ranking person?

If that's the case, what we said earlier is likely.

I'm also worried. If this is the case, then all the plans we discussed in the morning may have to be changed.

The released pigeons you mentioned before are probably also their letters to the Xuye Palace.

Haiyan supported her forehead with her hands, and said each word carefully.

"I understand, we can discuss the detailed plan when little brother Bai Zai comes. I think no matter who this person is, he won't act rashly anymore. After all, losing the jade card is enough for him to be in a hurry."

Haiyan just nodded and stopped talking.Ye Yi understood and Kong He backed out and gently closed the door.

Haiyan has been the head of the family for so long, and suddenly found out that someone from Xuye Palace exists in the family.

Moreover, he is still a person with a high status, and maybe he has been hiding for a long time. I am afraid that this is something that no one can immediately accept if it happens to anyone.

Although Ye Yi really wanted to know the details of other jade cards, but seeing Haiyan's current state, Ye Yi wisely decided not to bother him anymore.

From that moment on, it seemed as if everything had entered into a bureau, a bureau secretly manipulated by an unidentified person.

All the people, whether Yeyi or Puyuan Haiyan, are really just like chess pieces, helplessly arranged to walk the path they should go.

But the man who manipulated the chess game was hiding behind the scenes with a smile, quietly watching all the turbulent events that happened.

The ordinary quiet and warm happiness brought by New Year's Eve is finally coming to an end.In the rivers and lakes that had been quiet for a long time, smoke appeared, and disputes suddenly broke out!
The road, the road that stretches endlessly to the distance.One man and one horse galloped up, and a bitter wind blew through the man's hair head-on.

The man took off his hat a little annoyed, showing his slightly sweaty forehead, and turned around.

Ye Yi is most familiar with those pale brown eyes and the ever-present smile with an unknown meaning on his lips.

"Xisuke!" Ye Yi yelled out.

But the man just smiled at the unreachable place in front of him, turned around, put on his hat and rode away, ignoring the urgent calls behind him.

Ye Yi retracted his half-stretched hand in vain, the cold wind blew by his ears, as if nothing had happened.

Only the faint, seemingly absent fragrance floating in the air in the distance proves that that person once existed.
