Chapter 1276 Taking advantage of the situation
Li Ye finally returned to Chang'an. He entered the city from the Chunming Gate in the east city at night, then entered the alley along the city wall and returned directly to Xingqing Palace.

Li Ye was indeed exhausted. He took a quick bath, had a midnight snack, and then fell asleep in his study.

Before dawn the next day, Li Ye suddenly felt someone kissing him. He slowly opened his eyes and found that it was Yang Yuhuan who appeared beside him.

Li Ye gently held her in his arms, feeling her warmth and softness, and his chest and abdomen were burning with fire. He began to kiss her passionately.

The room quickly heated up and passion was boiling.

Half an hour later, the rain stopped and the clouds disappeared. Yang Yuhuan was very satisfied and lay in her husband's arms like a cat.

"It seems like you miss me a lot?" Li Ye said with a smile.

"of course!"

Yang Yuhuan whispered coquettishly in Li Ye's ear: "I look forward to my husband coming back to favor me every day. I look forward to it so much! I look forward to it so much! My neck is sore from looking forward to it."

Li Ye hugged her tightly and said, "You could have come last night!"

"They were here! The door was closed, and there was no response when I knocked. I didn't dare to knock hard, for fear that others would see me. So I had to go back in shame."

"Who opened the door this morning?"

Yang Yuhuan said a little embarrassedly: "I actually have a key, but I forgot it last night. Then I remembered it and sneaked over here."

Li Ye tapped her nose and said with a smile: "You greedy little cat, I'll feed you first!"

He turned over and started a new conquest in bed.

The sky was finally bright and Yang Yuhuan sneaked back. Li Ye stood up and opened the window, and a fresh forest air blew in his face. It must have rained last night and the air was humid.

Li Ye took a deep breath and felt refreshed. Everything seemed so beautiful.

He is now on the top floor of Wangxian Tower, which is also his study.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside. His wife Dugu Xinyue came in with tea, followed by Yang Yuhuan. Yang Yuhuan winked at Li Ye mischievously, and hurriedly helped him make the bed and destroy some evidence.

Dugu Xinyue looked at her husband and drank a sip of tea and said, "Logically, I should have said a few more words to my husband, but Chenghua is here and waiting on the first floor! It seems like there is something important."

Li Ye put down the teacup and said, "I'll be back soon!"

Li Ye came to the first floor and Li Chenghua was waiting for him.

"This is a humble post, Your Highness!"

Li Ye waved his hand, "Long time no see, please sit down!"

Li Chenghua sat down and bowed, saying, "I didn't want to disturb Your Highness's rest, but the matter is urgent, and I must report to Your Highness!"

"Just say it!"

Li Chenghua discovered the unusual gathering of royal family members, found some clues from Prince Xiang Li Xian, and then discovered Li Lin's plot in Huxian County.

Li Chenghua finally said: "There are eight or nine thousand people gathered in the manor of Hu County, all wearing leather armor and training with spears in hand. They should be elite farmhands mobilized from various manors."

"Who is the commander in chief in the manor?" Li Ye asked.

"It must be Li Lin's third son, Li Zhen!"

"It's him again!"

Li Ye sneered, and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, saying, "They want to overthrow me, and they want to assassinate me, but I see this as an opportunity for me to take back the manor in Guanzhong. Which manor those farmhands came from, then that manor is suspected of rebellion."

"That's what I mean, but the internal security forces are not enough, and we need a lot of military assistance."

"I'll send you 10,000 cavalrymen!"

Li Chenghua was overjoyed and bowed quickly, saying, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness!"

Li Ye waved his hand and asked, "How is Li Yu doing?" "Your Highness, Li Yu is not as flamboyant as Li Lin, but we also found something wrong with him!"

"What's abnormal?"

"The internal guards are keeping an eye on the people coming out of Li Yu's mansion. Yesterday, they found that three of them went to Fengxian County with a large number of men. There is no definite news yet."

"Fengxian County?"

Li Ye pondered for a moment and suddenly realized, isn’t Qiaoling in Fengxian County?

"I guess they are planning to take Qiao Ling. What a good thing! I just can't find an excuse to take Qiao Ling's treasure!"

"I suspect that Li Yu is also training troops, but I don't know where the training is taking place?"

Li Ye nodded and said, "The Internal Guard will send 3,000 troops to monitor Fengxian County's actions. If they really dig up the Qiao Mausoleum, don't start yet. Wait until they have transported all the buried treasures out, then arrest them all. The three leaders must know where their troops are training."

"I understand. Also, when is the best time to start?"

Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "I will give you another 10,000 cavalrymen. You can split them into two groups, one to Huxian County and the other to Fengxian County. Huxian County will take action tonight, while Fengxian County will wait until they dig it out before taking action!"

"What if Fengxian County didn't excavate the Qiao Mausoleum?"

Li Ye said calmly: "Believe my judgment, Li Yu and Feilong have a deep connection, he must have gone to dig up the Qiaoling."

"I humbly obey my orders!"

Li Chenghua left in a hurry.

Li Ye immediately issued two troop mobilization orders, ordering 20,000 cavalry to assist the inner guards in the attack.

Li Lin was furious at home because the large-scale action to damage Li Ye's reputation that was originally planned yesterday was not carried out.

Another thing that made Li Lin angry was that he didn't even know that Li Ye had returned to Chang'an last night.

The two things intertwined made Li Lin extremely troubled and also seriously undermined his confidence.

Especially when Li Ye came back, he had no idea. If he had known earlier, he would have arranged an assassination on the road and wasted such a good opportunity.

"How do you do things? If you can't do it, why don't you tell me earlier!"

In the inner hall, Li Lin angrily rebuked Yi Wang Li Yu and Chen Wang Li Gui, "I gave you this little thing, but you couldn't do it well. How do you explain it?"

Chen Wang Li Gui said tremblingly: "The problem lies with the 30,000 leaflets. We handed the matter over to Li Xian, but he told us today that the printing shop was unwilling to accept the order. He planned to buy a machine to print it himself, so it was delayed."

Prince Yi Yi also said: "It is better to print it yourself. If the printing shop reports to the inner guards, it will be a big trouble."

After hearing this, Li Lin's anger subsided a little, and he asked again: "When will the printing start?"

"In the past two days, I heard that the printing machine has been purchased. Now they are recruiting skilled craftsmen and debugging it. It is estimated that printing will start tomorrow."

Li Lin walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said, "Tell him to be careful and not to print in his own house. Go to Xianyang or Xinfeng, or go to the countryside to print. Even if someone reports it, it will not be traced back to him."

"We all know this, tell him to be careful!"

"Go! Forget it this time, but don't delay next time."

The two of them quickly said goodbye and left.

Li Lin paced back and forth in the mansion with his hands behind his back. He felt inexplicably troubled. The smearing and vilification was just a cover-up. His real purpose was to assassinate Li Ye.

But the problem is, he can't find an opportunity! There is no opportunity in Chang'an, so he can only wait for Li Ye to go out for inspection, but when can he wait for Li Ye to go out for inspection?

Li Lin stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the distant horizon. Although the start was not favorable, his determination would never waver. If he did not fight for it this time, he would never have another chance in his life.
