Da'an's best son-in-law

"Master Ye, I will lead the team back to the Yamen first." Zhang Yan rode his horse to Ye Chen and said respectfully.

They have now reached the border of Jizhou, and their team has been away from Ye Chen for three days. Now the former has to hurry up and go to the Yamen to bring in new soldiers.

Having said that, Zhang Yan was still somewhat reluctant to give up.

Ever since Mo Feng and his gang of bandits settled in the Nanliang Mountains, Jizhou's officers and soldiers have never left the city to suppress the bandits. They just stayed in the city and trained day after day.

This time I went out with Ye Chen. Although the risk was not small, the former felt very happy.

"You guys should go back first. I saw Mr. Li and Master Ban. Thank them for me." Ye Chen nodded slightly and said softly.

Without the support of Ban An and Li Zheng for this operation, he would have no choice but to take the guards of the Wei family, and naturally he would not be able to complete the mission.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ye, if you need anything from now on, you can give me your instructions at any time."

Zhang Yan agreed with a smile, bowed his hands respectfully towards Ye Chen, and left in the direction of Jizhou Yamen. The sound of horse hooves sounded in chaos, and everyone's figures also gradually moved away.

When Ye Chen and his party came out of Hulukou, it was probably already ten minutes past noon. After several hours of long journey, it was now almost evening.

As the night grew darker, lights were already lit on the city walls of Jizhou City. Dots of firelight appeared instantly in the night. Officers and soldiers holding torches also climbed onto the city wall to watch the night.

The lights rose in the night, illuminating the figures of the people outside the city, and also reflected the still intact silk gauze on the carriage.

"I'm back"

Everyone in the caravan, including Wei Xiao, had an indescribable look of relief on their faces at this moment, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders in an instant.

After these days of hard work and long journeys, they finally fulfilled their mission and transported the precious silk and satin thousands of miles away intact to the Wei family.

The days of being constantly wary of bandits, plotting, ambushes, trekking, sleeping in the open, all came to an end today.

They returned to Jizhou.

"Let's go back to the Wei family"

Ye Chen turned around and whispered to the caravan behind him.

Seeing everyone nodding, Ye Chen raised the riding whip in his hand, and the rooster on his crotch jumped up instantly, rushing into the alleys of Jizhou at high speed, galloping towards the Wei family.

Wei family, in the landscape back courtyard

"Oh!"

"Snapped!"

The sound of a heavy object being hit against the wall suddenly sounded in the quiet courtyard, followed by the sound of breaking teacups.

At this time, the maids and servants outside the room were all waiting quietly outside the room with bated breath, staring closely at what was going on inside the room without even daring to take a breath.

"Master, what's wrong today? Have you been so irritable since you came back in the afternoon?"

"It's because I encountered something troublesome that I can't guarantee it. I'm so good-tempered that I can be so angry. I don't know who did this."

"Shh, you two, keep your voices down, don't let me hear you."

Many maids and servants outside the house were observing the movements inside the house while quietly talking about the reason why the people inside the house were acting unusually today.

"Why are you useless people out there causing trouble! Get out of here, get out of here!"

A deep roar mixed with rage rang out, and the servants waiting outside the house suddenly dispersed and left the small courtyard outside the house in an instant.

As everyone left, the small courtyard became quiet again.

Inside the room, a middle-aged man in rich clothes sat panting at the tea table. On the floor were boiling hot tea and a broken celadon teacup.

A whole tea cup was smashed against the wall in the former's rage. At this time, the room was in a mess.

After venting a little of the rage in his heart, the man picked up the only remaining tea cup beside him and drank it in big gulps.

After drinking several cups of tea, the man slowly regained his composure, and his eyes gradually returned to their former gentleness from ferocious and furious.

But beneath the gentleness, there is a ruthlessness that cannot be hidden.

"Foolproof, oh, Mo Feng, this is the foolproof thing you promised me!"

The palm of his hand hit the tea table hard, causing the tea sets on the table to buzz. The man shouted angrily in a low voice.

"With a terrain like Hulukou and the best manpower in the village, even hundreds of elite soldiers can eat it without any effort..."

"A bunch of trash!"

Recalling the look on the face of the spies from Mo Feng's village when they came to report to him this afternoon, the man could guess at least eight or nine points.

Sure enough, as he expected, "The second master of my family led dozens of masters from the village, and Ye Chen burned them to death in the gorge. When the first master rushed over, only the charred bodies were left."

There are more than forty troops, a big fire, no one is left behind.

Every word he heard sent chills through the man's body. Hearing the former describe what Ye Chen did after leading his men to Nanliang Mountain made him secretly frightened.

After listening to the conversation, the former also gained a new understanding of Ye Chen's ruthlessness.

"My lord asked me to tell you that your information is wrong. Ye Chen has fifty elite soldiers from the government under his command."

"Ye Chen, Ye Chen!" The man whispered the name that had repeatedly failed him, clenching his fists so hard that his nails were almost embedded in his flesh.

If the Ye family's son-in-law hadn't suddenly come to the Wei family and intervened, Wei Yanran and her father Wei Zhongyan, who was a commoner, would not have been her opponent even if they were tied together!

A character who is obviously the most inconspicuous and insignificant, under his carefully arranged chess game, has become the most unruly disruptor.

Even though he had borrowed fifty elite soldiers, he still chose to suppress the news, probably because he wanted him to pass on the false news so that the ambush troops under Mo Feng would be caught off guard!

Can such a steady hand and ruthless means really be possessed by a young man under twenty years old?

The man let out a long breath, slowly loosened his palms, and regained his calm expression.

"Master, the steward asked me to call you to the clan meeting. I heard that my uncle has returned with the batch of silk from the Wei family." The timid voice of the maid came from outside the house.

"Okay, I got it." The man in the room agreed softly, stood up, and returned to his usual amiable expression that made people feel like a spring breeze. He stretched out his hand to slightly tidy up his messy clothes, stood up and walked out of the room.

When he walked out of the house, a sharp look flashed in the man's eyes, "Little bastard, you really deserve to die..."
