Chapter 222 Undercurrent! (Thanks to the book friend Ye Xiaomei for the reward!)
Although the situation is difficult, Ye Mingsheng is ready to break through and give everyone a big surprise!

As for now, he has done everything he should do, now is the time to quietly wait for the results and see what will happen next...

At this time, Ye Mingsheng, who was quietly thinking in the room, would never have thought that in a restaurant not far from Cui's mansion, a "friend" of his whom he had never met before was anxiously waiting for his news.

"Reporting to the lieutenant general, Ye Mingsheng has moved into the Cui Mansion!"

A sturdy man walked into the private room and reported to Xing Dalin inside:

After hearing the report from his men, Xing Dalin, with a gloomy face, said in a cold voice:
"How many people did he bring?"

"He brought about a hundred people into the city, but the Cui family only arranged a small courtyard for them, so now Ye Mingsheng is only accompanied by a few personal guards, and the rest of the people are staying in the inn in the city..." The subordinate reported truthfully:

Upon hearing this, Xing Dalin said in a deep voice: "Tell the brothers to keep an eye on it and report immediately if there is any situation!"

"Yes!"

The subordinates bowed and left
After the door of the private room was closed again, Xing Dalin picked up the full wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

As the hot liquid entered his throat, Xing Dalin could not suppress his emotions. His eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent. The anger made his square face twisted and hideous.

I believe that if Ye Mingsheng appeared in front of him at this moment, Xing Dalin would definitely eat Ye Mingsheng alive, eat his flesh, drink his blood, and sleep on his skin...
When Xing Dalin received Ye Mingsheng's gift, he vomited blood and was unconscious for half a day. Xing Liu was so scared that she prepared the funeral clothes and coffin, fearing that it would be too late.

Fortunately, Xing Dalin was in his prime, was a military general, and had strong physique, so he couldn't swallow this anger.

He was in a coma for a day and woke up at night. Although he woke up, the blow left Xing Dalin with a chronic illness. He lay in bed for more than half a month before he could barely get up and move around.

The first thing Xing Dalin did as soon as he resumed his freedom of movement was to go to the Governor's Mansion.

He knelt down in front of Song Wenhui, just like the Chu doctor Shen Baoxu weeping in the Qin court, and begged Song Wenhui to avenge his family.

It’s a pity that although Xing Dalin wanted to learn from Shen Baoxu, his master Song Wenhui was not Duke Ai of Qin...

Song Wenhui was concentrating all his efforts on dealing with the Gongsun family, so he had no mood to care about Xing Dalin's affairs.

What's more, although everyone knew clearly in their hearts that it was Ye Mingsheng who did this, Ye Mingsheng was just taking revenge on Xing Dalin.

However, Ye Mingsheng had already announced to the public in advance that Hong Min had escaped. He did not know who killed Hong Min, and who sent Hong Min's head to Xing Dalin's mansion.

The matter was done very cleanly, without any handle! This resulted in Song Wenhui being unable to do so even if he wanted to come forward. Without solid evidence, in the end, everyone was just arguing with each other, and nothing would come of it.

Therefore, all Song Wenhui could do for Xing Dalin, his loyal subordinate, was to appease him with kind words and give him some rewards, hoping that Xing Dalin would be more open-minded and take a long-term view!

Without Song Wenhui's agreement and support, Xing Dalin was furious but could do nothing. He could only watch the triumphant Ye Mingsheng recruit troops in Fengshan County and expand his strength step by step...

However, perhaps it was because "God will reward those who work hard", Xing Dalin, who felt that his fate was miserable, did not have to wait long before he got the opportunity to deal with Ye Mingsheng.

This is Ye Mingsheng’s visit to the Cui family!

Song Wenhui concentrated all his efforts on dealing with the Gongsun family and had no time to deal with Ye Mingsheng. However, Ye Mingsheng, who was developing very quickly, had undoubtedly entered the sight of the Governor of Liaoyang.

Therefore, when Song Wenhui learned that Ye Mingsheng was going to visit the Cui family, he, who had already learned from the previous experience of the Gongsun family, immediately became like a frightened bird and became extremely nervous.

Song Wenhui, who has already been betrayed by the Gongsun family, would become precarious in his rule in Liaoyang if he loses the support of the Cui family, and might be at risk of collapse at any time.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Cui family from colluding with the Zhenwu Army, Song Wenhui immediately put pressure on the Cui family, hoping that the Cui family would reject Ye Mingsheng's visit...
Although Song Wenhui reacted quickly, Ye Mingsheng chose a good excuse. As a descendant, he was paying his respects to the Cui family's ancestor. In this feudal society that values ​​filial piety, this was an excuse that the Cui family could not refuse.

After learning that the meeting between Ye Mingsheng and the Cui family was inevitable, Xing Dalin knew that his chance had come, so he volunteered to Song Wenhui to go to Guangning Prefecture to monitor Ye Mingsheng and the Cui family.

Xing Dalin's request was exactly what Song Wenhui wanted, so with Song Wenhui's authorization, Xing Dalin brought his men to Guangning Prefecture.

Although he promised Song Wenhui to monitor Ye Mingsheng and the Cui family, Xing Dalin, who actually hated Ye Mingsheng to the core, had decided to take this opportunity to settle things with Ye Mingsheng and kill him!
Xing Dalin, who had been keeping an eye on Ye Mingsheng, had witnessed with his own eyes how fast Ye Mingsheng's power was growing. He knew very well that if he didn't take this opportunity to kill Ye Mingsheng and avenge his deceased relatives, he might never have this chance again in his life...

In the central area of ​​the Cui Mansion, in the master's study, Cui Shao, who was nearly fifty years old, leaned back in the armchair and closed his eyes quietly to rest.

About half an incense stick later, footsteps were heard outside the study. Cui Shao opened his eyes when he heard the footsteps and asked the person who came indifferently:
"Ye Mingsheng moved in?"

"Well, after he arranged his soldiers, he and his mother moved into the small courtyard we arranged for him!" Cui Dakai nodded and said:

"No complaints?" Cui Shao continued to ask:
"No!" Cui Dakai shook his head and said:

Cui Shao's dignified face showed surprise when he heard this. After a few seconds of silence, he smiled and commented:
"interesting!"

Cui Dakai also agreed and said:

"Xiao Yun's son is indeed not an ordinary person. I was already prepared to deal with him in secret, but he just moved in without saying a word, without even a single complaint."
