Chapter 221 The Cui Family’s Cold Reception

"The old lady is fine. She is just exhausted from the long journey these past few days. She is also worried and feels unwell... Once we get to Guangning Prefecture, she can just take some medicine and have a good rest!"

Pei Zhixiu, who was in the carriage, resisted Ye Mingsheng's mischievous hands while whispering in Ye Mingsheng's ear:

"very good!"

Seeing that Pei Zhixiu was still the same as before, and her will to resist was particularly firm as long as it was broad daylight, Ye Mingsheng reluctantly took his big hands off her warm and soft body.

During this time back in Liaoyang, although Ye Mingsheng was busy with official duties and had various things to do, he always remembered Pei Zhixiu's idea of ​​learning medicine.

Therefore, this time when they came to Guangning Prefecture, they brought Pei Zhixiu with them. The destination of their trip, Guangning Prefecture, is adjacent to the Daxing Mountains. The deep mountains and old forests of the Daxing Mountains contain a large number of precious medicinal materials. All year round, countless herbalists go into the mountains to collect herbs.

Therefore, Guangning Prefecture naturally became the largest medicinal materials distribution center in the entire Liaoyang. As a result, medical culture was prevalent in this place, and there were many famous doctors. It was very suitable for Pei Zhixiu to come here to learn and exchange medical skills!
"I have used my connections in Guangning Prefecture to arrange for you to see several famous doctors. When the time comes, just ask Ye Kui to take you to see them. I believe they will teach you everything they have learned throughout their lives without reservation."

Looking at Pei Zhixiu, who was standing gracefully in a white dress, Ye Mingsheng carefully reminded her:
"Ok!"

Seeing that Ye Mingsheng cared so much about her affairs, Pei Zhixiu felt touched in her beautiful eyes.

Just when Ye Mingsheng was about to continue saying sweet words and sweet talk to unlock more things in the evening, Ye Dong's voice was heard outside the carriage.

"Young Master..."

Ye Mingsheng was disturbed by Ye Dong, although he was a little annoyed, but he also understood that Ye Dong was also a very smart guy. Seeing that he was hanging around with Pei Zhixiu and still disturbing him, it must be an emergency...
Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng shook his head helplessly, then kissed Pei Zhixiu's smooth and shiny cheek, and then got off the carriage under Pei Zhixiu's affectionate gaze.

"Brother Tie sent someone to deliver the news. The three armies have arrived at the designated location and can move at any time. Everything is ready, except for the east wind!" Ye Dong came close to Ye Mingsheng and whispered:

When Ye Mingsheng heard the news, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then he ordered:
"Tell them to act according to the plan. After the success, they must deliver the goods on time. If anyone makes a mistake, I will never forgive him!"

"Yes!"

Ye Dong nodded and left.

At 1 p.m., Ye Mingsheng's convoy finally drove into the city gate of Guangning Prefecture.

The Cui family also sent people to greet them, but they were not important figures, just a second steward named Wang Jingfa and several servants of the Cui Mansion.

Ye Mingsheng had long expected the Cui family's cold reception, because the Cui Mansion only arranged a small courtyard for him, which could not accommodate the more than one hundred soldiers under his command.

Ye Mingsheng arranged for his men to live in the inn, and then took his mother Ye Cui, Pei Zhixiu and several trusted guards to live in a remote courtyard arranged for them by Cui Mansion. "Master, this courtyard is too shabby..."

Looking at the simple tables, chairs, tea sets, and bedding in the room, Ye Kui, who was following Ye Mingsheng, couldn't help but complain;

Ye Mingsheng didn't care much about Ye Kui's complaints. This courtyard was indeed shabby and simple, but these things looked clean and tidy, and there was absolutely no problem living there.

"A guest from afar should follow the host's wishes. Don't let others hear what you say!"

After Ye Mingsheng gave his instructions, he turned to Pei Zhixiu and said:
"If the Cui family sends food later, Jixiu, check it first!"

"I understand," Pei Zhixiu nodded obediently.

Although Ye Mingsheng did not tell Pei Zhixiu what to check, Ye Dong, who was following him, showed a change of expression and asked Ye Mingsheng in a low voice:
“Master, if you are worried about the Cui family, I will go out to buy some food later…”

Ye Mingsheng shook his head and said: "It's always good to be on guard against others. I'm just preparing for a rainy day..."

After explaining everything to everyone, Ye Mingsheng comforted Ye Cui again, and then came to a quiet room in the yard and sat cross-legged in meditation.

Following the breathing method taught to him by Huo Xiaoli, Ye Mingsheng's body gradually relaxed.

Although he had missed the best age to practice martial arts and no longer had any future in the field, Ye Mingsheng was still fascinated by the feeling of sitting cross-legged and practicing breathing.

Not for any other reason, Ye Mingsheng just felt that after each breathing exercise, he could enter a peaceful state more quickly, which was more conducive to his quiet thinking. After finishing the breathing exercise, his whole body would feel more refreshed.

Before he set out from Fengshan County to Guangning Prefecture, Ye Mingsheng, when combining the information in his hands and making comprehensive considerations, had already realized that if nothing unexpected happened on this trip, the outcome would most likely be a failure...
The current situation in Liaoyang is even more complicated and tense than he had imagined in Luoan!

With the betrayal of the Gongsun family, Song Wenhui, who has the absolute support of the Yun family, has already set his sights firmly on the Cui family, the number one family in Liaoyang. Every move of the Cui family touches Song Wenhui's sensitive nerves!

Song Wenhui has been developing in Liaoyang for decades, and there are too many interests involved between him and the Cui family. Therefore, before Song Wenhui's situation is over, the Cui family must stand on the side of Song Wenhui, at least on the surface, in order to protect their own interests!
In this way, when facing me, who represents the Zhenwu Army, the Cui family will undoubtedly avoid me.

Even if I used the excuse of being a younger generation to pay my respects to the Cui family's ancestor, they would certainly treat me coldly.

After all, with Song Wenhui's style of doing things, his people must be watching in secret now, watching how the Cui family is going to treat them...
This is also the reason why Ye Mingsheng asked Pei Zhixiu to check the food.

If Ye were to be poisoned to death in the Cui family because of eating their food, regardless of whether the Cui family did it or not, the Cui family would be like yellow mud falling in their crotch, and it would be shit anyway.

He is a fifth-rank General Huwei. Apart from the three commanders, he is the highest-ranking officer in the Zhenwu Army. Therefore, even for the sake of face, the relationship between the Zhenwu Army and the Cui family will plummet to the freezing point. At that time, the governor will be able to reap the benefits!
