Chapter 502 Negotiation
As soon as Ye Qing'an arrived at the main courtyard, he saw faint light coming from the main bedroom, and he could hear voices coming from inside.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. At this time, here, there were voices?
It's highly likely that it's Ye Qinghao.
And most likely they're discussing something...
Thinking to himself, Ye Qing'an decided to slightly change his plan. He silently leaped onto the roof of the main courtyard and, using the eaves as cover, quietly moved a tile away.
The light was coming from inside the dormitory room...
Clean room?
Ye Qing'an frowned, simply restored the tiles, and moved them to the back of the bedroom.
After moving another tile, Ye Qing'an could clearly see the people inside and the situation below.
What lies below is not the clean room, but rather a secret room hidden next to it.
Ye Qinghao, the butler, and two other people were people Ye Qing'an had never seen before.
The two men appeared to be in their forties, and judging from their attire, they were not Ye Qinghao's subordinates or anything like that.
"How's the situation in Qian'an?" Ye Qinghao asked.
Qian'an? Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow. Ye Qinghao was also concerned about the situation in Qian'an?
"Having heard that this rebellion came on strong, Yi Moxu must have already made plans. In less than ten days, he caused the guards and elite troops in Qian'an to retreat one after another and captured two cities near Qian'an."
"And while the rebels were launching a fierce attack, they were also recruiting soldiers. Yi Moxu's reputation was so great six years ago that even after six years, there are still many people willing to listen to him. In just a few days, he has recruited tens of thousands of people, and these people are not just a rabble, but mostly Xuanling Technique cultivators."
The steward stood to the side, his brows furrowed: "This old servant still doesn't quite understand. When Yi Yun Kui dealt with Yi Mo Xu, he completely destroyed all of Yi Mo Xu's meridians. It's already a miracle that someone with severed meridians can survive. How could he still lead a large army in rebellion?"
Ye Qinghao tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a crisp sound: "Has anyone personally witnessed Yi Moxu using any Xuanling magic spells?"
"That's not true."
“That’s right.” Ye Qinghao leaned back in his chair. “It’s true that Yi Moxu’s meridians were all severed back then. I saw it with my own eyes, so it’s impossible for him to fake it. However, Yi Moxu only had his meridians severed, not his brain. Back then, Yi Moxu was known for his exceptional talent in both literature and martial arts, and for his unparalleled wisdom and courage. Recruiting soldiers, deploying troops, setting up schemes and plots… these things don’t require any mystical arts.”
The butler immediately understood the implication: "Master suspects that Yi Moxu doesn't actually possess any Xuanling techniques?"
“Mystic arts are important, but they don’t represent everything. There have been people in history who did not know mystic arts but still ascended to the throne.”
Ye Qinghao twirled the jade ring on his thumb and asked the two men standing there, "Has Liu Enze arrived in Qian'an?"
"Not yet, but it's almost time. The rebels have already captured two cities, so Liu Enze probably won't be able to reach Qian'an yet. However, he should be able to see Yi Moxu in the next day or two."
"Hmm..." Ye Qinghao nodded, but couldn't help but sneer, "The Emperor actually sent a bookworm who knows nothing to Qian'an. He must be crazy."
Ye Qinghao still remembered that back then, that bookworm Liu Enze had once tried to steal Su Wan from him. Ha...
In the end, didn't Su Wan still choose him?
What's the use of a bookworm who only lives in anxiety and seeks solace in nature after Su Wan's death?
A waste.
The other person nodded before adding, "It's probably because Liu Enze taught Yi Moxu for a few years before he died. After all, he was Yi Moxu's master, so perhaps he could say a few words to Yi Moxu."
"He's just a tutor, just a teacher. Yi Moxu is capable of things like patricide these days, would he care about a tutor who taught him? Yi Yunkui's thinking is a bit too naive."
"That's fine too." Ye Qinghao sneered: "It would be best if Yi Moxu went crazy and killed that bookworm directly, so that he wouldn't be an eyesore."
Ye Qingan stood on the rooftop, raising an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that there was no way the four great families could possibly fight each other.
"We continue to keep a close eye on the situation in Qian'an. Yi Yun Kui sent Ye Qing An to Qian'an with the army, which is an opportunity for us."
“Since she is accompanying the army, Ye Qing’an would never take her little bastard child with her. Since she cannot take the little bastard child with her, it is as if I have the little bastard child in my hands. As long as the little bastard child is there, if I tell Ye Qing’an to go east, she will never dare to go west.”
"At that time, we can try to do something through Ye Qing'an to manipulate the whole situation."
Ye Qing'an chuckled to herself. It seemed that Ye Qinghao was indeed a bit... overconfident.
He wants to hold Eleven in his hands, use her as leverage, and then manipulate the entire situation through her.
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips slightly. It seemed that there were quite a few people who wanted to sit on that dragon throne.
Ye Qinghao continued, "And what about the Crown Prince? Did you find anything unusual about him recently?"
Prince?
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow. Was Ye Qinghao investigating the Crown Prince?
"We've investigated everything, but there doesn't seem to be anything particularly unusual. However, we've learned that when the Emperor imprisoned the Crown Prince and the Eldest Son together in the palace to investigate the matter of the furnace, the Crown Prince and the Eldest Son seemed to be very close, practically inseparable."
Ye Qinghao clenched his fist: "Always by your side?"
"Yes."
"Furthermore, our subordinates investigated the matter of the cauldron that His Highness the Crown Prince had previously, and made some discoveries. They found that the person behind the cauldron was related to the eldest son."
Ye Qinghao's expression grew even more grim: "Is that so? He never mentioned this to me before. Although I found some clues before, I only thought that someone was trying to frame him. It seems that he is indeed very suspicious."
“However…” Ye Qinghao sneered, “He probably doesn’t know yet that I’ve already become suspicious of him. The fact that he doesn’t know is something I can use. Because he doesn’t know that I’ve started to suspect him of being part of Night Demon, he will try his best to deal with me for the time being, not wanting me to discover anything. He will still try his best to do what I ask. I can continue to manipulate him to achieve my goals.”
"Furthermore, since Ye Qing'an has now become a Supreme Being, he should feel a sense of crisis. I can even use this to my advantage, outwardly showing my trust in Ye Qing'an to make Ye Zirui feel threatened. In this way, he will try his best to regain my trust and reliance. He will definitely do his best to complete the tasks I ask him to do now."
