Thinking about it now, Ye Mingsheng felt a little regretful. If he had known about what would happen to the Zhenwu Army today, he would have taken some risks to get some benefits from the palace.

Although the route to the royal palace in the palace was no longer feasible, Ye Mingsheng quickly thought of a new way to make money!
In the previous battle in Liujing, Ye Mingsheng's troops captured about two thousand palace soldiers. Currently, these people are under the custody of Lin Huaiwu. With just one word from him, Lin Huaiwu can secretly release a few people and no one will notice...

A considerable number of these captured palace soldiers were military officers who came from wealthy families in the palace. Therefore, the families of these captured military officers would try to contact Ye Mingsheng through various channels and use money to redeem their soldiers.

In order to avoid suspicion, Ye Mingsheng didn't pay attention to these things before, and asked Ye Tie to help him fight back against these things.

But now that he knows about the Zhenwu Army, Ye Mingsheng has changed his mind. He decided to do some good deeds, help others, and try his best to reunite other families as soon as possible.

Of course, it is definitely a good thing, but this time Ye Mingsheng wants to be virtuous and do good deeds without leaving a name, so this matter still needs to be considered carefully and acted upon carefully, and cannot be rushed.

On the sixth day of the fourth month in the eighth year of Anhe in the Great Zhou Dynasty, at noon, the sun was shining brightly.

Starting from Wanfeng Prefecture, Xu Zhaojie finally led his army to the vicinity of Liujing.

Xiang Yuanhui, the highest-ranking officer in the Zhou army in Liujing City, immediately brought Ye Mingsheng, Wang Kangxin and other military officers to three miles outside the west gate after receiving the news, waiting for Xu Zhaojie's arrival.

After waiting for nearly an hour, the army finally arrived. Seeing Xu Zhaojie, who was surrounded by generals and riding on a tall horse, looking very majestic, they bowed to Yuan Hui and the many military officers and said in unison:
"Your humble servants are here to welcome the great general!"

Looking at these men who came to greet him three miles away from the city, a satisfied smile appeared on the handsome face of Xu Zhaojie, who was very concerned about his reputation, and his eyes could not help but look around at everyone.

However, when his eyes found two people standing behind Xiang Yuanhui, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Then his face turned gloomy, and he said with a cold face: "You all have worked hard!" After that, he ignored everyone, raised the whip in his hand, and rode towards Liujing without looking back.

Feeling Xu Zhaojie's cold attitude, Xiang Yuanhui was a little confused. He didn't know how he had offended the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

But he didn't care too much. After all, he was a military officer of the Iron Cavalry Army, and Xu Zhaojie was the commander of the Xuanwu Army.

Before, because the war was not over yet, he was under the control of Xu Zhaojie, the General of the Eastern Expedition. Now that the palace has been settled, it won’t be long before Xu Zhaojie can no longer control him.

Compared to Xiang Yuanhui's indifference, the expressions of Ye Mingsheng and Wang Kangxin standing behind him were very ugly at this moment. As generals who had followed Xu Zhaojie for several years, they naturally understood who Xu Zhaojie was targeting with such a bad attitude...
The people who had been frustrated by Xu Zhaojie returned to Liujing. Ye Mingsheng and Wang Kangxin, who were in a heavy mood, rode their horses and walked at the end of the team. Looking at Wang Kangxin with a gloomy face, Ye Mingsheng suddenly wanted to test this guy's tone. He considered his words, lowered his voice, and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Brother Wang, where do you plan to work after you return?"

Ye Mingsheng's voice brought Wang Kangxin back to his senses from his gloom. He glanced at Ye Mingsheng and did not answer Ye Mingsheng's question. Instead, he asked:
"Where are you going? You're not going to the Tiger Guards, or your fellow villager's place, are you?"

Hearing Wang Kangxin reveal his original plan, Ye Mingsheng didn't care too much. After all, the relationship between him and Fang Jing as fellow villagers was not a big secret. It was normal for Wang Kangxin to know this, so he nodded and continued to say, following Wang Kangxin's words:

"I really can't hide my thoughts from you, my brother. I'm about to separate from you, and I'm really reluctant to let you go."

Seeing that he had guessed Ye Mingsheng's thoughts, Wang Kangxin sneered and looked at Ye Mingsheng with pity. Then he squeezed his horse's belly, sped up, and ran forward.

Feeling the chill in Wang Kangxin's eyes, Ye Mingsheng touched his nose helplessly. His brother Wang really only remembered food and not punishment. He had no memory at all and always believed what he said so easily...
After returning to Liujing City, although Xu Zhaojie did not like him, because he was still Xu Zhaojie's subordinate and a military officer of the Xuanwu Army, in order not to leave any handle and give Xu Zhaojie an excuse to deal with him, Ye Mingsheng took the initiative to go to Xu Zhaojie's headquarters at noon the next day to report the battle situation to his immediate superior.

However, just as Ye Mingsheng expected, he stood outside the camp gate under the scorching sun for several hours, until the sun set and the sky was shrouded in the pitch-black night, but Xu Zhaojie still turned a deaf ear to him, closed the camp gate and showed no intention of seeing him.

Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng, whose legs were numb and stiff from standing, felt that he had done his best and did not leave Xu Zhaojie anything to make excuses for himself. He then bowed deeply to the headquarters again and left slowly with the help of his personal soldiers.

However, what Ye Mingsheng did not expect was that as soon as he turned around and left, an inconspicuous-looking soldier at the camp gate ran back to report.

After a while, Deputy General Dong Chunyu received the news and immediately passed through the layers of checkpoints and walked into the camp where Xu Zhaojie was and reported;

"General, Ye Mingsheng is gone!"

Xu Zhaojie, who was sitting in his seat, concentrating on reading the book "Spring and Autumn Annals" in his hand, did not look up when he heard the words, but said with contempt: "Humph! Pretending, so artificial..."

"This Ye Mingsheng is at least pretending to be a good person. The one who should be killed is Wang Kangxin. Does he really think that relying on his uncle Wang Zhongsen's relationship, he can be transferred to the Zhenwu Army and it is a sure thing? He is not even willing to pretend to be a good person. I'm afraid he doesn't know that with just a word from you, the general, or a flick of your finger, you can ruin the Wang family forever!" Dong Chunyu said angrily, with anger on his face:
