Chapter 352
"I'll be with you." Zhen Lingfan snatched Yan Yu's saber, "This matter is strange, don't underestimate it."

The mountain wind blew coldly, even in the deep and empty forest, he still felt like he was being watched.

In such a sparsely populated area, could there really be someone hiding in the dark?
"No, you stay here and wait for me." Ye Zhaoyan's eyes fell on him, and seeing the worry in his eyes, he knew that the two of them wanted to go together.

Zhen Lingfan still insisted: "Since I have followed Major General Ye, I naturally want to stand in front of you, so let me go."

"Their target is me. Even if you put yourself in danger, how can you arouse their interest?" Ye Zhaoyan moved closer, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'm afraid we have already been watched. If we don't Act separately, once the incident happens, surrounded by mountains, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you and me to escape. Your task is to report the message, and when I enter the mountainside, you will wait for the opportunity to leave."

Zhen Lingfan's heart skipped a beat, and a pair of wide eyes met the face that was close at hand.

Under the light of night, there is a white face with a cold light. This young major general has outstanding features. Even though he knows he is in danger, his expression is still surprisingly calm
Rumor has it that they are offshoots of the Ye family's direct line, and there are some dissatisfied voices. Now it seems that it is not easy to be selected by Emperor Donglin to come to the south of the Yangtze River to assist Ye Wenxuan.

Seeing that the other party understood, Ye Zhaoyan turned around, his voice was soft but firm, "What's more, with my skill, it's easier to get away."

Zhen Lingfan's hand holding the handle of the knife froze, and then relaxed.

Yes, the major general of the Ye family is so powerful, but he is indeed not as good as him.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Ye Zhaoyan patted him on the shoulder, turned around and left, leaving Zhen Lingfan to watch him, with an expression that couldn't be described as good or bad.

"What's the crime?" Ye Zhaoyan retorted calmly, "I was ordered to assist the defense line in the southern border, and I did not do anything deviant. Now that there are rebels coming to attack, my subordinates and I fled here. Is it wrong?"

"Subordinates obey."

"Are you the major general of the Ye family?" He asked.

She was overjoyed, and was about to check, when a voice suddenly came from behind, "Who!"

There are still a lot of dead branches broken at the bottom of the cliff. It can be seen that there has been a tragic fight. Such an environment is indeed not suitable for hiding people, but in Ye Zhaoyan's impression, it is the best hiding place.

She changed her mind sharply and thought about the countermeasures. Seeing that he was silent, the man thought she was disdainful, so his expression froze.

Ye Zhaoyan continued: "The prince should never have given an order, otherwise you wouldn't be so hesitant. The commander of the palace is only mediocre!"

Gou Zi glared at Ye Zhaoyan, "My lord respects General Ye for his outstanding military achievements, so he never ordered me to kill General Ye's family, otherwise, you will die!"

An hour later, a group of people had settled down by the stream.

"You arrest the spies as long as you dare to frame the Ye family. Although my Ye family is not as high as the princes, I am also loyal to the emperor and patriotic. How could I have an affair with Nanyan?" Ye Zhaoyan sneered, looking at the gray robe without any trace People, although this person is described as miserable, his face is rough, and his exposed hands are different.Even if the hands are covered with mud, you can still see the original slender and straight.

"Then it's as you said." Gouzi nodded, and then thought of another thing, "Take that person with you, put on the anklet, and put it in an inconspicuous place, so as not to block your eyes!"

This cliff is as high as three feet, below is a deep valley, the night is dark, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant.

Ye Zhaoyan sighed secretly in his heart, the other party had obviously made complete preparations long ago, and he was afraid that his life would be in danger if he rashly fought with him.

Right now, the only way to escape is by outsmarting.

Ye Zhaoyan was noncommittal, "Commander Gou's words are really chilling. If there is no such a lot of military achievements, the hard-working Ye family will be tortured arbitrarily?"

Ye Zhaoyan helped him to sit down, stretched out his hand to touch his neck, and sure enough there was breath.

"If the enemy is in front of me, I will fight with all my strength. Now that my subordinates are in trouble, how can I stand by?" Ye Zhaoyan sneered, "I don't know which side you are from? You dare to ambush us here, please tell me."

Gou Zi said angrily, "You're full of cunning! Don't think that you are a major general, so you don't take this commander seriously! If you are sensible, just obediently arrest him, so as not to suffer flesh and blood, otherwise don't blame this commander for being ruthless!"

Seeing this, Ye Zhaoyan frowned slightly, but he didn't step forward to stop him, but just stood aside quietly, waiting for the development of the situation.

"It turned out to be someone under the prince, no wonder he made such a move." Ye Zhaoyan smiled, and the smile was very ironic, "Commander Gou is just following orders, so why use the prince to suppress others? Could it be that you still want to beat me into a trick and force me to confess? Can't you be charged with an unwarranted crime?"

Ye Zhaoyan's expression froze, and he quickly moved to Zhang Shen's side, protecting him behind him, pulled out the long sword on his back and turned around, only to see that the person who came was a man in his thirties, wearing a suit Wearing a black jersey, with a thin body and a serious face, he looks calm and majestic.

The man was dressed in a gray robe, his face was covered with scars from the scorching fire, he looked hideous and terrifying, and his face could not be discerned.

"Major General Ye Family, you are so courageous, you dare to leave your post without permission, are you guilty?!"

She jumped down and wandered around the bottom of the cliff for a while with the help of the messy trees, vines and rocks around her, and finally found Zhang Shen hidden behind a boulder.

Gou Zi was choked by her, couldn't hold back his face, but had no way to refute, so he had to ask someone to lift Zhang Shen up and put him down.

Zhang Shen was on the verge of death, with one arm drooping on the cliff, bleeding profusely, obviously seriously injured.

Ye Zhao said nothing, but glanced at him sharply.

Ye Zhaoyan was not flustered, "Since Commander Gou came here on orders, naturally he would not dare to act on his behalf, and I don't want to make things difficult for Commander Gou, I just hope that Commander Gou will arrange my subordinates well and escort me all the way safely. The prince has lost face in front of him."

After a while, seeing Ye Zhaoyan's indifferent appearance, the leading guard couldn't help but said: "This man is a spy from Nanyan. He sneaked into the south of the Yangtze River without authorization, trying to collude with the Ye family army and plot against the country. The subordinates put him in place according to Commander Gou's order. Here, the major general will supervise it on your behalf."

He was indeed ordered by King Qing to bring people to arrest the major general of the Ye family, but he did not order him to be tortured. Now that he has been beaten up, it is not easy to use torture.

Under Ye Zhaoyan's maneuvering, Zhang Shen, who had taken the medicine, was placed on a clean haystack.While she was waiting for Zhang Shen to wake up, an uninvited guest was escorted by three guards.

"The major general of the Ye family is worthy of being a major general. He is so courageous that he dares to question his commander." The man snorted coldly, "I am Gou Zi, the commander of the guards of the Qing Palace, and I am ordered by the prince to lead people to arrest the traitors of the Ye family!"

As soon as he left, a guard rushed over, "Commander Gou, we just found out that there is a small stream three miles away. The water in the stream is clear and clean, and it can be used for people to take refuge temporarily. I wonder what the major general thinks?"

After Gou Zi finished speaking, he waved his hand, and all the guards immediately showed their weapons and surrounded Ye Zhaoyan.

Ye Zhaoyan's figure is nimble and vigorous, and his steps are fast. He reached the mountainside in the blink of an eye, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the cliff in front of him.

"Major General of the Ye Family, can he be found guilty?" the man asked in a deep voice, and when he finished speaking, more than a dozen guards in black quietly landed behind him.

Gouzi's face changed, and he didn't know how to deal with Ye Zhaoyan for a while.

The man smiled disdainfully, "A mere young general of the Ye family dared to disregard His Majesty's imperial decree and wander outside without the permission of His Royal Highness Prince Qing. No matter what your intentions are, your actions have violated taboos!"

The most important thing is that there are no calluses at the mouth of the tiger.

Not a martial arts practitioner, but you have to wear shackles and put them under strict supervision in the open?
Thinking about it, Ye Zhaoyan pretended to be impatient and said: "The major general has to rest at night, how can he devote his energy to take care of him? Since he is a spy, he might as well kill him directly, so as not to waste food."

　Thank you for your recommendation tickets~ The main plot of the protagonists has been conceived for a long time, but this part of the transition section has been elusive for a long time, and I don't want to write it too abruptly.
