Chapter 465 Oral Oral
Just as He Yi had said, the people sent by Yi Yun Kui arrived before evening the next day.
Upon arriving at the camp, they immediately sent someone to invite Ye Qing'an over.
The visitor's surname was Li, and he was also a general in the Imperial Guard.
"The Emperor is already aware of Miss Ye's advancement to the Supreme Being. I am also aware of Lord Gu's accident. The Emperor's intention is for the entire army to break camp and return to Wangjing City with the Taotie. Upon returning to Wangjing City, proceed directly to the palace, where the Emperor will summon Miss Ye."
After the visitor finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Qing'an again: "The Emperor knows that Miss Ye is worried about Lord Ye's safety. Miss Ye, rest assured, the three thousand elite soldiers that the Emperor sent to search for Lord Ye will not be withdrawn. They will continue to search this Demon Beast Forest carefully until Lord Ye is found."
"If there is any news about Lord Ye, we will definitely send a message back to Wangjing immediately and inform Miss Ye as soon as possible."
Seeing that Ye Qing'an still looked hesitant, General Li lowered his voice and continued, "Lord Ye has encountered an accident and his whereabouts are currently unknown. As Lord Ye's daughter, Miss Ye should actually be in charge of the overall situation in Wangjing City. Although Young Master Ye is in the manor, he is still young and his abilities are somewhat lacking. Now that Miss Ye is the Supreme One, she can gain the Emperor's trust more and is more able to stabilize the position of the Ye clan."
Upon hearing what General Li said, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but lift her eyelids, raise her head, and scrutinize him with a look in her eyes.
General Li seemed to understand Ye Qing'an's doubts, and simply lowered his eyes and chuckled: "This humble general was personally trained by Prime Minister Ye. I spoke these words just now out of personal motives. I really don't want to see the Ye family fall. Miss Ye returning to the capital is the best thing for the Ye family."
Ye Qing'an pondered for a long time before nodding: "I understand. Let me think about it."
“That’s unthinkable.” General Li smiled. “What I’m delivering is the Emperor’s decree. Miss Ye must return to Wangjing City, or else she will be disobeying the imperial order.”
Ye Qing'an opened her mouth, and after a long while, she finally replied, "I understand."
"Then Miss, you should go back to camp now to pack your things and prepare to set off."
"Now?" Ye Qing'an's eyes widened. "Doesn't it take time for an army to break camp?"
"It will indeed take time for the army to break camp, but His Majesty's idea is that Miss Ye and He Yi lead two or three hundred elite troops to escort Taotie ahead. This humble servant will wait here for the army to break camp and then travel with them."
"..." Ye Qing'an took a deep breath: "General He and I are escorting the Taotie? Just the few of us?"
"Yes." General Li smiled. "Although there are indeed fewer people, Miss Ye is now a Supreme Being. In this world, there is probably no one else who can be her enemy. Therefore, the Emperor and I are quite at ease with Miss Ye escorting Taotie back to the capital."
I do feel quite reassured.
Ye Qing'an sighed, wondering what Yi Yun Kui was up to this time.
It's amazing that he came up with the idea of having her and He Yi lead two or three hundred people to escort Taotie back to the capital.
"Understood," Ye Qing'an replied, standing up. "I'll go back and pack my things before setting off."
Ye Qing'an walked out of the main camp, then turned around to look at the tents behind him, his brows furrowing slightly.
She had anticipated that if Yi Yun Kui learned of her becoming a Supreme Being, he would surely make her return to the capital.
But she didn't expect Yi Yun Kui to be in such a hurry.
There must be a reason for this.
Ye Qing'an returned to his tent and saw Qingdai reading with Eleven. He then said directly, "Pack your things. We're setting off for Wangjing City immediately."
"Now?" Shen Qingdai was also somewhat surprised.
"Hmm." Ye Qing'an nodded, paused for a moment, and then continued, "It was Yi Yun Kui who directly issued the order, instructing me and He Yi to take the Taotie back to the city immediately, and the main army to break camp later."
“I have a feeling that this matter is a bit too strange. Even if I am to take Taotie back to the city, there is no rush. I'm afraid something has happened. Have someone sort out the news that has been sent to Huohuang Pavilion from all over Siyou Kingdom recently, and send me all the more important news. I want to take a closer look.”
"Yes," Shen Qingdai replied, relayed the message, and then got up to pack her things.
Packing didn't take long, and soon someone came to ask Ye Qing'an if she was ready.
Ye Qing'an responded and led Shen Qingdai and Eleven out of the tent. He Yi had already mounted his horse and stood not far away: "The carriage is ready, Miss Ye, please get in the carriage."
Ye Qing'an lowered her head and led Eleven into the carriage. After they were seated, she turned to Qingdai and said, "You come up too."
Shen Qingdai knew that Ye Qing'an probably had something to tell her, so she quickly agreed, bowed, and followed behind into the carriage.
“Since I left Wangjing City, Ye Zirui has not been able to succeed. This time, our return journey is his last chance. But now that I am a Supreme Being, Ye Zirui knows that once I return to Wangjing City, the situation in the Ye family will be very different. Therefore, he will definitely not let me return to Wangjing City.”
"Ye Zirui naturally knows that it is unlikely that he can confront me head-on. He will definitely think of another way to get rid of me."
"Another method is poisoning, and another one is..."
The illusion of the Night Demon Clan.
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips. If Ye Zirui really intended to use an illusion on her, this would be an opportunity.
This was an opportunity to test whether Ye Zirui was indeed a member of the Night Demon Clan, as she had suspected.
but……
Now that Liu Xueying is dead, she can no longer use illusions. If Ye Zirui really did use an illusion on her, then only one of them can survive.
She actually wanted to keep Ye Zirui around, because only by keeping Ye Zirui around could she expose the true nature of the person behind him.
If even Ye Zirui is gone, then the trail to find the person behind Ye Zirui and Liu Xueying will be completely cut off.
Shen Qingdai nodded: "Since we're on our way, we probably won't be staying at inns or restaurants. The food will be delivered by the soldiers in the camp, so poisoning it wouldn't be difficult."
"I'll have someone prepare some food in advance. Miss, you don't need to touch any of the food or dishes that others bring."
After Shen Qingdai finished speaking, she shook her head to herself: "The poison might not be put in the food. How about this, I'll disguise myself as Miss..."
Ye Qing'an shook her head: "No, no need. We should strike first and lure Ye Qinghao into making a move."
