Chapter 232 Attack 1 (Thanks to book friends Mo Shaobao and Zhuifeng Tianshao for the reward!)
Ye Mingsheng originally planned to leave in the evening, but he didn't expect that Ye Cui, who returned home in glory, would be interested. In order not to disappoint his mother, Ye Mingsheng stayed at Cui's house for one more night and attended the dinner party held by Cui's family together with Ye Cui...
At the dinner, Ye Mingsheng and Cui Shao met each other at the introduction of Ye Cuishi. The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention the unpleasantness in the previous meeting. In order not to worry Ye Cuishi, Ye Mingsheng also called Cui Shao "Third Uncle".

On the morning of the second day after the dinner, Ye Mingsheng and his party left Guangning Prefecture. Just as Ye Mingsheng had imagined, ten miles outside of Guangning Prefecture, they were attacked by a group of masked gangsters.

Although they were masked, Ye Mingsheng knew that they were sent by Xing Dalin. Without any suspense, this group of criminals was easily dealt with by Ye Mingsheng's personal soldiers who had been on guard.

To be honest, if it weren't for Xing Dalin, he would still have some use. Ye Mingsheng really wanted to kill him...
After all, even though this toad doesn't bite people, it's still quite annoying!

After suppressing the urge to kill Xing Dalin, Ye Mingsheng and his party arrived at Xiaogang Township, located between Guangning Prefecture and Erlang Mountain, at noon to rest temporarily. The sun was too strong at noon and it was not suitable to travel quickly. In addition, there was Ye Cui in the team, a female member like her, and the carriage was bumpy, so they also had to stop and rest.

As soon as they entered Xiaogang Township, Ye Mingsheng ordered his men to step up their alert to guard against possible attacks from the Black Dragon Society at any time.

Erlang Mountain is too close to Guangning Prefecture and is too sensitive, so Ye Tie's troops must be under surveillance by the Cui family. In order to prevent the Cui family from making a wrong judgment, Ye Mingsheng can only order Ye Tie to stay where he is, and then lead his troops to Erlang Mountain to join the battle.

Therefore, this means that if the Black Dragon Society really intends to attack them, the less than 100-mile road from Erlang Mountain to Guangning Prefecture is their last chance...
As long as Kobayakawa Takahide is not crazy, she will definitely not try to attack Ye Mingsheng under the protection of thousands of soldiers under Ye Tie.

"Report to the Lord, the scouts we sent out have returned and have connected with the scouts sent by Lord Ye Tie. Everything is normal on the road from Erlang Mountain to Xiaogang Township, and no suspicious signs have been found." Huo San reported to Ye Mingsheng:

Although he couldn't understand why Ye Mingsheng was so cautious, Huo San still faithfully carried out the task given by Ye Mingsheng without any discount.

Ye Mingsheng nodded when he heard this, with a hint of doubt in his eyes...

What if the Black Dragon Society doesn’t take action on the way?
So where will they start?
Could it be that the information An Miaoyi gave me was wrong?
Didn't Kobayakawa Takahide plan to attack him?
After thinking for a while with his head down, Ye Mingsheng shook his head without getting an answer, and then asked Huo San:
"How's the old lady?"

"The old lady just took a short nap and just woke up. She ate some cakes and drank some millet porridge. She is in good condition." Huo San reported truthfully:

Ye Mingsheng felt relieved after hearing this, and then he ordered:

"Pass the order down, set off in a quarter of an hour, continue to advance towards Erlang Mountain, and try to meet up with Ye Tie and the others before dark!"

"Yes!" Huo San took the order and left.

Since it is impossible to confirm whether An Miaoyi's information is accurate or not, Ye Mingsheng simply doesn't care about it. No matter what tricks Kobayakawa Takahide is playing, as long as he reunites with Ye Tie as soon as possible, with the protection of two thousand soldiers, Kobayakawa Takahide can't do anything and can only stare blankly...
Because there was still a quarter of an hour left, Ye Mingsheng took the opportunity to sit cross-legged and breathe in and out. The key to practicing martial arts is persistence, but during this period of time, on the one hand, he had to hurry on his journey, and on the other hand, he had to compete with the Cui family in wits and courage. Therefore, Ye Mingsheng was a little slack and had not practiced for several days. Now that he had nothing to do, he could practice martial arts and calm his mind.

Not long after entering the state of practicing, Ye Mingsheng heard a familiar sound of footsteps coming from outside the house. Although he felt a little sorry, Ye Mingsheng hesitated for a moment, then opened his eyes and said softly:
"Come in!" The next second, Pei Zhixiu walked into the room with a plate of cakes in her hands. Seeing Ye Mingsheng sitting cross-legged on the bed, she said apologetically:

"Sorry to bother you while you were practicing..."

"It's okay. It won't take long to practice anyway!" After comforting Pei Zhixiu, Ye Mingsheng focused his attention on the plate of pastries in her hand.

There were various shapes of pastries on the plate, such as sticky cakes, osmanthus cakes, and fried pastries. Although it was some distance away from Ye Mingsheng, Ye Mingsheng could still smell the faint fragrance of the pastries.

"This is the Cui family's ancestor. He knew that the old lady was leaving today, so he specially sent someone to bring it to us for us to eat on the way. These are all fine pastries. The old lady liked them very much, so she asked me to bring some to you!"

As Pei Zhixiu spoke, she placed the plate next to Ye Mingsheng. Looking at Pei Zhixiu's slender and delicate hands, Ye Mingsheng's heart moved and he opened his mouth.

Seeing Ye Mingsheng's actions, Pei Zhixiu immediately understood what he meant. A blush suddenly appeared on her pretty face. After hesitating for a while, she obediently picked up the small sticky cake and handed it to Ye Mingsheng's mouth...

Enjoying the beauty's clothes, Ye Mingsheng felt much happier. Although Pei Zhixiu was not as open-minded as Geun-yu, what Ye Mingsheng liked to see most was Pei Zhixiu's shy little expression, which could especially arouse his positive and negative desires.

However, if it was Jinyu at this moment, that bold girl would probably not use her hands, but that soft and mellow one...

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng was a little absent-minded, and bit Pei Zhixiu's tender hand unconsciously, causing Pei Zhixiu to feel some pain. Ye Mingsheng apologized immediately, then grabbed Pei Zhixiu's little hand and blew it for her...

However, just as the little hand clenched, before Ye Mingsheng had time to blow, violent explosions suddenly came one after another outside the house.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Although the explosion was sudden, Ye Mingsheng's reaction was not slow. He directly pulled out his steel knife, protected Pei Zhixiu behind him, and looked around vigilantly.

He knew what was coming, and it finally came!
At this moment, Ye Dong, who was guarding outside the room, also entered the room with more than ten personal soldiers, surrounded Ye Mingsheng and protected his safety.
