Loyal people were executed, but those who were not faithful may come to power. This could also result in the decline of strength of their countries indirectly. To some degree, it was a way to reduce the strength of the other countries.

At that time, many people guessed this was the purpose Ye Lang had from the beginning.

“Did you take advantage of your alchemy to make the head that you showed to everyone?”

“Yes, I can copy a thing in a moment, a head or anything else.” Ye Lang nodded.

They were not surprised that he had all kinds of strange things, even the handwritten order... Yes, the handwritten order...

“One more question. How did you get the handwritten order, and a blank one at that?” This was a serious problem so he had to get a clear answer.

“I bought it.” Ye Lang gave a very surprising answer, but it was very reasonable. That was because he bought some strange things.

“...Where didyou buy it?” The Emperor and the others were speechless.

“I bought it in Baker Street, where there are a lot of interesting things. I saw this blank handwritten order by accident and I bought it to fool others, and I made use of it this time.” Ye Lang replied. He spoke calmly and it seemed that he didn't know it was a serious problem.

“Is it a real one?” The Emperor asked seriously.

“No!” Ye Lang directly replied.

“...A counterfeit?” The Emperor and the others looked at it, and found something wrong. But they couldn't tell what was wrong.

“Don't you see it? Its imperial jade seal is complete!” Ye Lang said.

“Yes, it is. There is a small gap in the lower left corner of the real seal, but this one is complete.” They finally realized it, they had forgotten this detail.

Since they saw the seal every day, that became the reason why sometimes, they ignored some details.

No one dared to make a counterfeit of the seal, so no one paid attention to this!

“Who even dares to make an imperial jade seal!” The Emperor said in a deep voice. He would let the guilty man be held accountable for it.

“I don't know. It was the only one at that time. Even if you know who makes it, there is no way to find the guilty man.” Ye Lang waved his hand.

“Why?” The Emperor asked.

“Although it looks new, it was made two hundred years ago. It was made with a kind of special paper, which had disappeared as early as two hundred years ago.” Ye Lang said. He intended to add more, but someone cut in:

“It might have been made by the people in previous dynasties who used this kind of special paper.”

“Well, maybe, but on the paper the man who made this order left a signature and a date. I know you cannot see them, they were hidden in patterns. No one could do so except him…”

“The world’s best craftsman, Hong Ye. Year… Month… Day… ”

“...”

“The order Hong Ye made looks like a real one. He deserved the name! It is valuable. What Ye Lang wrote on it certainly ruined it!” Some people felt it a pity.

“Shit, my handwriting is more precious than his. It will be more valuable because of my handwriting!” Ye Lang shook his head, ignored the crowd, and left!

“...”

Ye Lang left, with the two girls following right after, but the Emperor and the others had to stay here to find out who invited the spies behind the scenes, and what his purpose was...

Although they were not sure of these points, it was certain that something would happen, so they planned to take action to defend their countries, but they had to do that secretly to avoid alerting the enemy.

However, now they were thinking about who should be put in charge of the defense. The man in charge must be faithful enough because it was likely that it was caused by someone among them.

How about putting Ye Lang in charge?!

They first mentioned Ye Lang, but they soon believed he was not appropriate for the job, since he wouldn’t be able to complete such a task.

And then, they thought about their children. In any time, their children were the most faithful. The Emperor also thought so.

Of course, the Emperor also excluded some and chose those children who would never betray him and would be able to complete the task...

Ye Lang was excluded. Ye Lanyu was also excluded, and so was Princess Qi!

Theese three were trustworthy, but they were unsuitable. They were too pure to fight against the evil. Perhaps the people together with Ye Lang would be purified gradually.

No matter what others said, the three had a good and close relationship since childhood, since the three had always been together. Although they quarreled very frequently, the three got closer and closer...
