Chapter 168 Eavesdropping
If Ye Tie had not been worried that Ye Mingsheng and Pei Zhixiu were so in love and that his reminder might have the opposite effect, he would have spoken up long ago.

What he saw by chance last night immediately made the captain of the personal guards realize that this was a great opportunity to overthrow Pei Zhixiu. After carefully considering it for a day, he told Ye Mingsheng about this matter...

Ye Mingsheng, who was unaware of Ye Tie's mental activities, was leaning on the armchair in the study, closing his eyes and slowly massaging his temples.

What Ye Tie said seemed to be just Pei Zhixiu eavesdropping on the original owner's secret love for Murong Qingwu, which was a trivial matter.

But in fact, the point Ye Tie wanted to express was not about this matter, but about the two words "eavesdropping"!
The reason why Ye Tie, Ye Dong, Ye Kui, Ye Ju and Ye Changling were sent by Ye Cui to protect the original owner was not only because of their loyalty, but also because they had followed the martial artists of the Ye clan since childhood to strengthen their bodies and learn martial arts.

Although their kung fu was not that great, each of them could handle two or three strong men without any problem. Among them, Ye Tie, who had the best martial arts skills, was the most powerful. When he went to Guanzhong to suppress bandits, the original owner had seen him chop down more than a dozen bandits in a row...

In this world, although Kung Fu cannot make one fly, live forever, be invulnerable to swords and guns, or be invincible regardless of the number of opponents, it can indeed enhance the practitioner's five senses and make your perception more acute.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is extremely difficult, or even almost impossible, for an ordinary woman to eavesdrop on the conversation of a middle-aged man who has practiced Kung Fu!

This means that normally, Pei Zhixiu should not have approached the west wing where Ye Dong and the others were, but Ye Dong and the others should have already discovered Pei Zhixiu.

Judging from what Ye Tie said, not only did Ye Dong and his friends not notice that Pei Zhixiu was eavesdropping, they were even eavesdropped by Pei Zhixiu for quite some time!
Although it cannot be ruled out that Ye Dong and Ye Kui were so excited about talking about their encounter with Murong Qingwu that they were highly focused and did not notice that Pei Zhixiu was eavesdropping.

But if we assume that this possibility is excluded!
Then there are only two possible results!

The first possibility is that Ye Tie is lying and the incident did not happen at all, or the incident did happen but the facts are not as he said.

The second type of Pei Zhixiu is not what she looks like. She is just an ordinary woman who is proficient in medical skills. At least it is highly likely that medical skills cannot allow her to do this...
Although he did not see what happened and did not investigate the incident, Ye Mingsheng was willing to believe that what Ye Tie said was true!

The reason was very simple. First of all, he believed in Ye Tie's loyalty to him. He might be dissatisfied with Pei Zhixiu for some reasons he didn't know, but at least he should be honest with him and would not make up lies to deceive him just to sow discord between him and Pei Zhixiu.

Secondly, Pei Zhixiu once admitted to herself that her mother was a spy sent by Japan to gather intelligence. It was also because of her mother that Pei Zhixiu knew a little about ninjutsu and helped herself to resist the Black Dragon Society's tricks in Gongdu Luwang Town and saved her life.

Since Bae Ji-soo is able to know a little about ninjutsu, why can't she practice ninjutsu?

Medical skills may not help her eavesdrop on Ye Dong and the others’ conversation, but ninjutsu can definitely help! But if Pei Zhixiu really knows ninjutsu, then everything will become very interesting...
Thinking of this, although Ye Mingsheng didn't know what the answer to the matter was, he only felt that in his consciousness, Pei Zhixiu, who was originally clear, was once again shrouded in a veil of mystery!

After spending another sleepless night in the study, Ye Mingsheng had a quick breakfast the next morning and went to the Ke Lai Xiang Restaurant, which was not far from his home, as agreed. Today was the day Chen Yannian invited him to dinner.

Although this meal was nominally hosted by Chen Yannian to thank him for his recommendation, in reality Chen Yannian was using the "meal" as a way to recommend talents to himself and help him expand his team!

Ye Mingsheng was very interested in this, so he dressed up and put on a new robe to make himself look more energetic.

Ye Mingsheng knows the abilities of his current subordinates very well...

Although Ye Tie is loyal to him and is brave, he has never led troops before, so his ability to lead troops in battle is still unknown.

As for Lin Huaiwu, Zhang Qinghua, Zhao Han and others, although they are capable, they are at best above average. They understand some common sense, tactics and strategies of leading troops in battle and rarely make mistakes. They are still a long way from being good generals.

Ye Mingsheng also knew that if he wanted to become a local lord, the army would undoubtedly be his foundation!

The ability to lead troops in battle is undoubtedly his biggest weakness at the moment!
Therefore, during this period of time, Ye Mingsheng himself was also cramming his knowledge of military tactics, trying to eliminate this shortcoming of his. Unfortunately, the art of war cannot be learned in a day or two, and theoretical knowledge alone is not enough. The art of war needs to be put into practice.

So in the short term, Ye Mingsheng felt that he could not rely on himself, and he still had to find someone to protect him!
With this idea in mind, Ye Mingsheng was looking forward to what kind of person Chen Yannian would introduce to him.

In order to express his importance, Ye Mingsheng deliberately arrived at the agreed Ke Lai Xiang Restaurant an incense stick of time earlier, but to his surprise, Chen Yannian and others were already waiting for him here...
"Sir Chen, I'm sorry for being late!" Although there was still some time before the agreed time, Ye Mingsheng still politely bowed to Chen Yannian and said:

Seeing Ye Mingsheng coming so early, Chen Yannian seemed a little surprised, but he was always mature and prudent and immediately said:

"Your Excellency has arrived at the perfect time. Please come in!"

After exchanging a few words with Chen Yannian at the door of Kelaixiang, Chen Yannian led Ye Mingsheng to the largest private room in Kelaixiang. There were already two people sitting in the room.
