Chapter 307: There is no return? ( words long chapter!)

After Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, Murong Lianyun was slightly stunned when she heard the question, as if she had not expected Ye Mingsheng to make a fuss about this.

Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng did not bother to argue with her any further and turned away.

After dealing with this little episode, Ye Mingsheng returned to his general's residence. Sitting in the study, Ye Mingsheng slowly opened the portrait that the original owner had treasured...
Looking at the stunningly beautiful lady in white sitting under the peach tree in the portrait, Ye Mingsheng smiled slightly.

God was very kind to Ye. It was true that after searching for a long time, he finally got what he wanted without any effort!

Although no one knew why she used Murong Lianyun's name, since she did so, Ye Mingsheng naturally would not expose her.

Ye Mingsheng firmly believed that everything he wanted could be obtained with his own hands, and she would be no exception. The only difference was the methods she adopted...
She is not a woman like Wang Bai, who can use her power to oppress others and make them worry about her.

For a jewel of a wealthy family like this, a favored daughter of heaven cannot be impatient for success. As the saying goes, more haste, less speed. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. You have to boil the frog in warm water and take your time to taste the flavor.

The next day, Ye Mingsheng slowly woke up in a jade mat. Perhaps the battle last night was too intense, causing Ye Mingsheng to be overly exhausted, and his biological clock also malfunctioned, causing Ye Mingsheng to sleep until the 9th hour.

Feeling the dull pain in his waist, Ye Mingsheng showed a wry smile on his face, and secretly made up his mind to be moderate in everything.

Perhaps sensing that Ye Mingsheng had woken up, Jinyu, who was lying beside him, also woke up from her sleep. Looking at Ye Mingsheng who was so close to her, she seemed to recall something, and a blush appeared on her fair cheeks. Under Ye Mingsheng's gaze, she lowered her head and said in a shy voice:

"Master, you were so confused last night that I was almost torn apart by you..."

Seeing Jinyu's eager look, Ye Mingsheng would have wanted to fight with her for another three hundred rounds if he hadn't run out of ammunition and food.

Suppressing the fire in his heart, Ye Mingsheng had just finished dressing and washing up under the personal service of Jinyu. Before he had time to eat breakfast, he heard Ye Dong report that
"Master, Lord Liu just sent a message that Murong Yuliang donated all the 1,000 dan of grain in his mansion to the treasury, so Lord Liu asked if this porridge factory should still be run?"

Ye Mingsheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said lightly:
"Since I've said it, then of course it has to be done, and it has to be done well! Tell Liu Zhengxian to send a few capable officials to do the job, and don't let me make any mistakes!"

After his warning yesterday, Ye Mingsheng was not surprised by Murong Yuliang's reaction. Since Murong Yuliang was so sensible, he would give him another chance...
After having a simple meal of millet porridge at home, Ye Mingsheng planned to go out to see Pei Zhixiu. Some time ago, Pei Zhixiu discussed with him that she was bored staying in the general's mansion all day, and hoped to open a clinic in the city to treat the people, save the world, and benefit the people.

Ye Mingsheng instinctively wanted to refuse Pei Zhixiu's small request. After all, Pei Zhixiu was his woman now, and according to the customs of the Great Zhou, she should not show up in public often.

However, when Ye Mingsheng saw the hope in Pei Zhixiu's eyes, his iron heart softened a little. Pei Zhixiu was the first one to be with him, and during the time she was with him, she had been silently satisfying her own selfish desires. She didn't want gold or silver, nor did she want expensive jewelry, and she had never made any requests to him.

What's more, I had promised her that I would help her fulfill her dream of becoming a doctor!

Although Ye Mingsheng is not as trustworthy as Ji Bu, he is a real man who lives in the world with integrity and keeps his word. How can he easily break his promise to his woman?

Moreover, Ye Mingsheng did not want a great doctor who saved the world to become a canary he kept in the general's mansion and be depressed every day because of his possessiveness.

Living a life of luxury in the mansion is what Geun-ok longs for, but for Pei Zhixiu, such a life may be a different feeling...

I believe that with the existence of Pei Zhixiu, some people in Fengzhou who should not have died could have survived, and Fengzhou, located in a war-torn border area, could have less sadness and tears, and more people could enjoy the joy of family reunion!

With this idea in mind, Ye Mingsheng agreed to Pei Zhixiu's request and personally selected a good location for Pei Zhixiu's clinic in the city so that Pei Zhixiu could return home to rest sooner or later. In addition, he also sent several personal soldiers to do miscellaneous work in Pei Zhixiu's clinic.

Pei Zhixiu was naturally very happy about Ye Mingsheng's arrangement as she could continue her dream of becoming a doctor. She took a carriage to and from the clinic and the general's residence every day. Her time was very fulfilling and she gradually smiled more often.
The happy Pei Zhixiu was like a child presenting a treasure, and always wanted Ye Mingsheng to go and see her clinic. Although Ye Mingsheng agreed, he never had the time to fulfill his promise.

Last night, during Ye Mingsheng's sage time, Pei Zhixiu was very happy to tell Ye Mingsheng about some interesting things that happened in the clinic, and her words showed that she was looking forward to Ye Mingsheng coming to take a look.

Now is the perfect opportunity. Ye Mingsheng doesn't plan to delay any longer. He will go to the clinic today to take a look and review the past with Pei Zhixiu.

Ye Mingsheng had a good idea, but when he changed into casual clothes and took some close followers with him, he had just walked out of the general's mansion and had not gone far when he bumped into He Jingyun who was hurrying over.

“General He, is there something wrong?” Looking at He Jingyun who had a serious expression in front of him, Ye Mingsheng had a bad feeling in his heart...

Although He Jingyun had become very honest after his warning and no longer did any inappropriate actions, Ye Mingsheng could see that he had not completely overcome the hurdle in his heart and was not 100% willing to join him.

Apart from the tasks assigned by himself, He Jingyun seldom took the initiative to come to him to report on his work. But once he took the initiative to come to him, it must be that something had happened.

And usually these things are not the good things that Ye Mingsheng wants to see!

"Sir, I have something important to report!" He Jingyun bowed and said
Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly. He was so busy that he finally found some time to take a break. He had to fulfill his promise and go see how Pei Zhixiu's clinic was. If he didn't go now, he didn't know when he would go next time when he had time...
Seeing Ye Mingsheng hesitate, He Jingyun stepped forward and said in a low voice:

"Sir, I received news that Wang Muzhi is coming!" Ye Mingsheng was shocked when he heard this, and then he sighed in his heart, knowing that he would definitely not be able to go today, and immediately turned back to the mansion and said:
"Come in and talk!"

The two of them came to the study room of the general's mansion one after the other. After Ye Dong served He Jingyun a cup of fragrant tea, Ye Mingsheng asked He Jingyun:
"What exactly happened?"

"Sir, I have a friend who is a lieutenant general under Commander Chen. He wrote to me two days ago and told me to be careful!"

"It is said that Commander Chen is very dissatisfied with you for not attending the meeting in Changqing Prefecture last time due to illness. Not only does he intend to deduct half of the money and food that was originally scheduled to be distributed to my Fengzhou army, he also intends to have Commander Wang Muzhi come to Fengzhou for an inspection!"

After He Jingyun finished speaking, Ye Mingsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and while he was surprised, he also fell into deep thought.

About half a month ago, Chen Dechang gave Ye Mingsheng an order, asking him to come to Changqing Mansion to attend a meeting. After Ye Mingsheng received the news, he prepared to go without thinking much...
But just two days before departure, an accident happened!
Huo San received news that Bai Renxuan had been telling Chen Dechang that he had evil ambitions and was not a loyal person, and hoped that Chen Dechang would take him down and take back the military power in Fengzhou.

After Bai Renxuan's repeated persuasion, Chen Dechang was no longer as determined to support Ye Mingsheng as he was at the beginning. His attitude was somewhat ambiguous and no one knew what he was thinking.

After receiving this news and looking at Chen Dechang's order for him to go to Changqing Mansion to attend a meeting, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but feel suspicious. He was somewhat worried that Chen Dechang was playing a trick on him, throwing the dog with a meat bun, and making him never come back!

Even though Chen Dechang might not do so, once he arrived in Changqing Prefecture, in Chen Dechang's territory, he would be at the mercy of others. In this kind of situation, he had to be prepared for the worst!

What if Chen Dechang really listened to Bai Renxuan's instigation, placed himself under house arrest in Changqing Prefecture, and then sent a person or a troop to Fengzhou to replace him? Ye Mingsheng would be in tears...

After all, Chen Dechang is the commander of the Zhenwu Army and the top leader of the Zhenwu Army. When he is not there, Fengzhou will be leaderless. As long as Yuan Song, Lin Huaiwu and others do not want to rebel, they can only accept Chen Dechang's leadership. At that time, Ye Mingsheng's painstaking efforts in Fengzhou will all be in vain for Chen Dechang!

As the old saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Although Ye Mingsheng does not consider himself a gentleman, he does not want to put himself in a trap.

But if I don't go to Changqing Prefecture, first of all, I will not be able to stand on my own feet in name only. Chen Dechang is the commander-in-chief and my superior. If he asks me to attend the meeting and I don't go, it would be disobeying orders.

Chen Dechang could completely use this as an excuse to punish himself, or even be more extreme and remove himself from his posts as commander of the Zhenwu Army, General Huwei, and General of Fengzhou, leaving him to wait for his fate!
Of course, judging from the current situation in Liaoyang, the possibility of this happening is very low!
It is unlikely that Chen Dechang would cut off his own arm and remove himself from office before the war, but there is no doubt that not attending the meeting would offend Chen Dechang.

And now Ye Mingsheng still needs Chen Dechang's support and help at all levels, so if he doesn't go to Changqing Mansion to attend the meeting, it will definitely have some adverse effects on the development of Ye Mingsheng's power in all aspects...

Just when Ye Mingsheng was weighing the pros and cons and was hesitant about whether to take the risk, Huo San's spy in the residence of Liang Xuezhan, the commander of the Third Battalion, got news again. Someone secretly sent a letter to Liang Xuezhan's residence in the middle of the night!
Only Liang Xuezhan knew the content of the letter, and the spies had no idea!

Although we don’t know who wrote this letter to Liang Xuechang or what the content of the letter is.

But Ye Mingsheng knew one thing, that Liang Xuechang was Chen Dechang's eyes in his place, so it was hard for Ye Mingsheng not to think that this letter was from Chen Dechang to Liang Xuechang.

Then the problem is coming!

If Ye Mingsheng was right, and the letter was really written by Chen Dechang to Liang Xuechang, then what did Chen Dechang intend to ask Liang Xuechang to do at that critical juncture?

Could it be that he wanted Liang Xuezhan to help the person who came to replace him and take control of the situation in Fengzhou after he was placed under house arrest in Changqing Prefecture?

Realizing this possibility, Ye Mingsheng, who was in a dilemma, made a decision immediately!

He sent Lin Huaiwu to Changqing Prefecture and asked Lin Huaiwu to tell Chen Dechang that he was ill and could not get out of bed, so he could not attend the meeting. After he recovered, he would personally apologize to Chen Dechang.

Chen Dechang's reaction was within Ye Mingsheng's expectations. He scolded Lin Huaiwu, who was sent by Ye Mingsheng, and asked Lin Huaiwu to bring back a handwritten letter from Chen Dechang with very harsh words. But other than that, Chen Dechang did not take any other actions. The money and food scheduled for him were also distributed on time...
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng was very fortunate at that time, thinking that he had gotten through this difficult time safely. Now it seems that Chen Dechang is waiting for him here!
After sorting out his thoughts, Ye Mingsheng asked He Jingyun very seriously:
“Is your source reliable?”

He Jingyun nodded without hesitation and said:

"My friend is an old subordinate of Chen Dechang. He has been with Chen Dechang for ten years. Chen Dechang trusts him very much. He was worried that I would be implicated this time, so he revealed the news to me so that I could be prepared!"

Hearing what He Jingyun said, Ye Mingsheng looked at him, then smiled and nodded:
"General He, I'm glad you can tell me the news!"

"This is all my job!" Seeing the smile on Ye Mingsheng's face, He Jingyun's expression was also a little relaxed and he answered:

"General He, has your friend told you when Wang Muzhi will come to Fengzhou?" Ye Mingsheng continued to ask:

"The fastest should be within seven days, and the slowest should be within half a month!" He Jingyun thought for a while and said:
He Jingyun seemed to know what Ye Mingsheng would ask next, so he took the initiative to say without Ye Mingsheng asking:
"My friend didn't tell me what Chen Dechang wanted to do by asking Wang Muzhi to come to Fengzhou for inspection. He only mentioned it to me in the letter, saying that Chen Dechang had a secret conversation with Wang Muzhi for half an hour before deciding to let Wang Muzhi come to Fengzhou!"
