Deep within the mansion, Zhong Tianhao was busy arranging various matters, his expression focused and serious, leaving no room for error in any detail. However, at that moment, a sudden commotion of fighting broke the tranquility of the estate, the noise emanating from a hidden chamber, sounding particularly jarring.
Startled, Zhong Tianhao quickly set aside his tasks and hurried towards the hidden room. Upon reaching the door, he was taken aback by the scene before him. A young man was engaged in lively conversation with Dugu Yue, the atmosphere appearing quite amicable.
"Dugu, what just happened?" Zhong Tianhao asked in a low voice, his gaze lingering on the young man for a moment, trying to discern something about him.
Dugu Yue waved his hand lightly and replied with a smile, "It's nothing. It’s just a junior from Ye Family Ancestor who has arrived." With that, he pointed to the young man beside him—Ye Tian.
Zhong Tianhao took a closer look at Ye Tian. Although he was young, he exuded a calm demeanor, and his eyes revealed an extraordinary aura. When Zhong Tianhao sensed Ye Tian's Feng Wang Jing cultivation level, he couldn't help but be slightly astonished. He hadn't expected that a junior from Ye Family Ancestor would have grown to such an extent—truly impressive!
Regaining his composure, Zhong Tianhao cupped his hands in respect and said, "In that case, I shall take my leave." With that, he turned to leave but couldn't help but ponder how remarkable Ye Family Ancestor truly was.
Seeing this, Ye Tian also bid farewell to Dugu Yue. "Dugu, Zi Yi is hiding nearby; I will go find her and bring her here. Then we can deal with Li Siyuan and the others together."
Dugu Yue nodded slightly and said, "That’s fine. Be quick about it; Li Siyuan and his group are cunning and resourceful—don’t let them discover you."
With that, Ye Tian paused for a moment before resolutely departing. The night was dark as ink; his figure darted through the shadows like a ghost, disappearing from sight in no time.
Inside an abandoned house, Ying Ziyi furrowed her brows tightly, her eyes filled with worry. She paced back and forth, hesitating as she contemplated whether to go look for Ye Tian. Just then, a faint sound of footsteps broke the night's silence, and Ye Tian's figure reappeared before her.
"Ye Tian Brother! You’re back!" Ying Ziyi exclaimed with surprise, her voice brimming with uncontainable joy. She scrutinized Ye Tian closely, fearful of even the slightest injury. "Are you alright?"
Hearing this, warmth surged within Ye Tian. He gently shook his head and replied firmly and steadily, "Zi Yi, I’m fine." He then recounted everything that had transpired that night to Ying Ziyi.
After listening to him, excitement flickered in her eyes. She clenched her fists and spoke with a slight tremor in her voice: "Finally! Finally we can take revenge for the Emperor and Wang Bo!" Her gaze held both determination and boundless anticipation for what was to come.
A few days later, Li Siyuan led his army like a slumbering giant dragon as they slowly wound their way to the gates of Tianyang County. He decisively ordered the troops to camp outside the city to rest and regain their strength.
Li Siyuan personally entered Tianfeng Prefecture with Zhao De and several trusted generals along with elite soldiers by his side. However, at that moment, Zheng Qifeng's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Li Siyuan; it seemed he had other plans in mind.
He stepped forward and cupped his hands respectfully. "General Li, our troops have been marching for days and are weary both physically and mentally. I wish to go calm them down to ensure their morale remains stable. How about we enter the city tomorrow to discuss our plans with everyone?"
Li Siyuan listened without much thought. He understood the importance of maintaining troop morale and recognized Zheng Qifeng's concerns.
