Chapter 641: Tense changes!
Hearing the voice, Ye Mingsheng turned around and looked beside him, only to see a sweet-looking girl with a well-developed figure. Although the girl's tone was a little timid at this time, her beautiful eyes were gazing at Ye Mingsheng with great curiosity························

Although the lovely girl in front of him did not seem to pose any threat, for safety reasons, the guards guarding Ye Mingsheng looked at her with great vigilance, with some hesitation in their eyes, as if they were hesitating whether to capture the girl. Seeing a hint of doubt in Ye Mingsheng's eyes, Ye Kui beside him introduced to Ye Mingsheng:
"Sir, her name is Chen Xiangling, and she is the daughter of the owner of this Chen's Teahouse!"

After receiving this answer, Ye Mingsheng waved his hand, signaling the guards beside him to relax, then smiled at Chen Xiangling and said;

"If you do business legitimately, the government will support you and will not let people like Zhao Sheng get away with it!"

Although Ye Mingsheng did not give a direct answer, Chen Xiangling heard this as if Ye Mingsheng had already acknowledged the matter. A hint of excitement suddenly appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she immediately bowed to Ye Mingsheng and said:

"Thank you for your help!"

Ye Mingsheng reached out and supported the girl, smiling and said:

"No need to thank me, this is the government's responsibility!"

After thanking Ye Mingsheng, Chen Xiangling seemed to have thought of something and asked Ye Mingsheng;

"May I ask your name, benefactor?"

Facing the girl’s sincere gaze, Ye Mingsheng fell into deep thought. Of course, he could not tell Chen Xiangling that he was Ye Mingsheng. Otherwise, he would not be able to enjoy the pleasure of visiting incognito and relaxing in Chen’s Teahouse in the future...
Suddenly, Ye Mingsheng had a flash of inspiration, as if he had thought of something, and then he smiled and said:

"My name is Ye Dong!"

Hearing Ye Mingsheng calling himself "Ye Dong", the little girl seemed to realize something and said in a low voice with some mystery:
"Benefactor, your last name is Ye?"

As she spoke, Chen Xiangling stretched out a white and tender jade finger and pointed upwards meaningfully. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng laughed a little but still nodded and said:

"Miss Xiangling, I told you that it is the government's responsibility and obligation to protect legitimate businessmen like you, so you don't have to call me benefactor. I am a few years older than you, so if you like, you can call me Brother Ye!"

Hearing Ye Mingsheng say this, Chen Xiangling blinked her beautiful eyes and immediately said very obediently:

"Brother Ye!"

Ye Mingsheng smiled and nodded when he heard this, then he cupped his hands and said:
"I have important matters to attend to and cannot stay for long. I will come visit you again when I am free!"

Seeing Ye Mingsheng intend to leave, Chen Xiangling nodded subconsciously and said:
"Brother Ye, please come again if you have time!"

Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly upon hearing this, then quietly left with his men. Just before walking out of Chen's Teahouse, Ye Kui, who was following behind Ye Mingsheng, looked back at Chen Xiangling with a complicated expression. The little girl didn't know yet how much weight her call of "Brother Ye" carried!

You know, many young men of the Ye clan want to get close to the master, but the master is always indifferent and elusive. If those young men were allowed to call this little girl named Xiangling "Brother Ye" by the master, they would probably be envious to death...
But why does the Lord look upon Chen Xiangling in such a different light?

Could it be that adults have changed their tastes?

Don’t love people, but love girls?

Dongning, Murong Mansion
In Murong Yuliang's study, Murong Hui sat in silence on a chair, and on the desk were several pieces of letter paper. Murong Yuliang, who had just finished reading the letter, was pacing back and forth in the room. After a while, Murong Yuliang stopped, looked at Murong Hui in front of him, and growled in a low voice:
"Is your father crazy?"

Facing his angry uncle, Murong Hui slowly raised his head and said in a deep voice:
"Second Uncle, calm down!"

"I know this matter is very sudden and unacceptable, but it may be the best choice facing our Murong family at the moment!"

Murong Yuliang was so angry that he laughed:
"The best choice? Your father is kicking us all out right now, and you tell me this is the best choice?"

"How have I, Murong Yuliang, ever done anything wrong to the Murong family? Do I need your father to treat me like this?"

"What benefit did Shangguan Hongyuan give him that made him treat his own brother and his own son like this? When did your father become so inhumane? He doesn't even recognize his own relatives."

Looking at his emotional uncle, Murong Hui shook his head and said:

“Uncle, have you ever thought about what we should do if my father doesn’t do this and Shangguan Hongyuan or Ye Mingsheng puts pressure on our family, or simply takes us or my father as hostages and threatens the relatives on the other side…”

As soon as Murong Hui said this, Murong Yuliang's expression froze, as if he also realized the key to the problem. Murong Hui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. His second uncle was also an extremely smart man. He was so impatient and angry just now and did not realize the problem. It was all because of the content of his father's handwritten letter, which was too explosive and unacceptable!

Honestly speaking, Murong Hui could understand his second uncle Murong Yuliang's feelings very well, because when he first saw this handwritten letter, he felt the same way. He couldn't understand why his father was so decisive. It took him several days to calm down and gradually realize his father's good intentions. Therefore, Murong Hui believed that as long as his second uncle calmed down, he would realize how serious this problem was!
After thinking for a while, Murong Yuliang said doubtfully:
"They must be so ruthless?"

Murong Hui shook his head helplessly and said, "Of course not now, but as the war progresses, the disadvantaged party will be in a hurry, so my father must take precautions and make a cut in advance!"

After hearing this, Murong Yuliang hesitated for a while, and then nodded slightly, agreeing with what his nephew said.

Seeing Murong Yuliang nod, Murong Hui also understood that his second uncle had figured it out, and immediately said very seriously:

"Second uncle, my father said that no matter whether the ship of the Great Zhou can continue to sail, it is enough for our Murong family to have one elder..."

Murong Yuliang was somewhat moved when these words came out, and he gradually understood the good intentions of his elder brother Murong Lun. Seeing this, Murong Hui continued:
"I have already told Sister Qingwu about what happened over there. Don't worry, Uncle, the way we met was very covert, and no one would notice!"

Murong Yuliang frowned slightly upon hearing this and said;

"Any progress over there?"

"Not yet, but I heard that the Supervisory Department is already urging us to do so!" Murong Hui shook his head and said:

"If that's the case, then it's still a little too early for you to tell Qingwu about this. An Miaoyi has many spies in the Governor's Mansion. Qingwu might say something wrong, which will ruin your plan!" Murong Yuliang said with a little blame:

Murong Hui had a different opinion on this. He said very frankly:

"Uncle, I think we should trust Qingwu more. She has been married into the Governor's Mansion for a while. From what I know, An Miaoyi has been trying to trip up Qingwu during this period, but in the end, she got nothing! On the contrary, Qingwu has been taking every step carefully and has gradually gained the favor of the old lady of the Ye family, loosening An Miaoyi's base!"

"Qingwu's performance is much better than we thought. That's why I decided to tell her about this in advance so that she can prepare early. This will prevent her from being flustered when the incident happens and giving An Miaoyi an opportunity to take advantage of her..."

After a moment of silence, Murong Yuliang was convinced by Murong Hui's statement, but he still emphasized to Murong Hui:
"You must never act on your own in such matters!"

"I understand that next time something like this happens, I will definitely discuss it with you in advance!" Murong Hui said respectfully:

Governor's Palace, early morning
After having breakfast with An Miaoyi at Ye Cui's house, Ye Mingsheng walked towards his study, ready to start the day's work. However, what he didn't expect was that he met an unexpected person in the corridor.

"Ruolan has met her brother-in-law!"

Looking at Ye Mingsheng who was walking towards her, Xiao Ruolan bowed and saluted. Seeing Xiao Ruolan's appearance, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but think of the embarrassing thing that happened after he was drunk that night. His mind seemed to have thought of something, and he glanced at her. As if feeling Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Xiao Ruolan's cheeks showed a faint blush.

Ye Mingsheng also gathered his thoughts, raised his right hand to signal her to stand up, then smiled and said:
"Are you here to look for Miao Yi? She didn't get enough rest last night because she was taking care of Jing Ren. She should go back to her room to rest now!"

"Thank you, brother-in-law, for telling me!"

Xiao Ruolan said softly, then bowed to Ye Mingsheng and slowly walked towards the yard where An Miaoyi was.

And at the moment when Xiao Ruolan walked past Ye Mingsheng, Ye Mingsheng seemed to sense a strange fragrance passing by, which made him feel a little dry in the mouth. He subconsciously turned around to look at Xiao Ruolan's back, only to see that her back was curvy and very fascinating, making people linger...
However, thinking of An Tianyu's pitiful appearance, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but take a deep breath and suppress the evil fire in his lower abdomen. There was never a shortage of women around him, both fat and thin. It was no exaggeration to say that as long as he liked, he could be a bridegroom every night and double his happiness, so there was no need for him to do such dirty things and bully a person who was already very pitiful.

Ye Mingsheng made up his mind and continued walking towards the study with his head held high. However, at this moment when no one noticed, a very delicate sachet was quietly put into a hidden pocket.

After returning to the study, Ye Mingsheng took a sip of the top-grade Tieguanyin that Ye Hongsheng had sent him, then waved at Ye Cheng, signaling him to bring all the memorials for today. After receiving Ye Mingsheng's instruction, Ye Cheng immediately took the memorials, then took out the most important one and introduced it to Ye Mingsheng:

"Sir, this is the top-secret intelligence about the Luo'an court sent by the Coordination Office. You need to check it as soon as possible! As for the other memorials, they are not particularly important. You can take your time to read them!"

Ye Mingsheng nodded upon hearing this, and then directly picked up the memorial sent by the Coordination Office. After reading the contents of the memorial for an incense stick of time, Ye Mingsheng, with a serious expression, shook his head, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and began to think.

In the past period of time, the Fengwu Army took over Hebei and Henan, the Luoan court defeated Sun Liangyu’s Chu Army, and completely occupied the vast Sichuan and Shu land. Ye Mingsheng thought that in the next period of time, his and Shangguan Hongyuan’s main task would be to digest these territories and accumulate strength for next year’s war. However, facts have proved that he, Ye, wanted to digest the territories quietly, but Shangguan Hongyuan didn’t think so...

According to the report from the secret agent of the Coordination Office in Luoan, the old fellow Shangguan Hongyuan has been making a lot of trouble during this period. After taking over Sichuan and Shu, he set his sights on Yongliang. With the help of the Murong family, he stirred up some waves in Yongliang. According to the secret agent of the Coordination Office, it is only a matter of time before Shangguan Hongyuan takes over Yongliang, and there is no suspense about the matter itself.

And since Shangguan Hongyuan is taking over Yongliang almost peacefully this time, he will receive tens of thousands of Liang soldiers. Although the Liang army is poorly equipped, they are all veterans who have experienced many battles. As long as Shangguan Hongyuan equips them with weapons, this will be a very powerful army.

Ye Mingsheng is sure that Shangguan Hongyuan will definitely bring this Liang army to the Yunbing battlefield next year. After all, this Liang army is not Shangguan Hongyuan's direct imperial guards. Therefore, in Shangguan Hongyuan's eyes, the Liang army is used to consume his cannon fodder.

In addition to the Liang Army, what Ye Mingsheng should note is the role played by the Murong family in this matter. According to the description in this memorial, the Murong family made a great effort in Shangguan Hongyuan's capture of Yongliang. It can even be said that without the help of the Murong family, Shangguan Hongyuan might not have been able to capture Yongliang so smoothly.

In addition, the Murong family has been communicating frequently with Luoan recently. There is reliable news that Murong Lun and Shangguan Hongyuan met, and the two sides have been spying for more than an hour...
