”Prince, this is the secret letter from the Eastern Mountain Manor yesterday.”

At this moment, Ye Feian was writing on his desk when he saw a letter delivered by the butler.

After opening it, Ye Feian started to read it carefully.

Luo Lingxiao, who was helping him by the side, saw that he had matters to attend to, so he obediently left the study. He also instructed the servants not to disturb Ye Feian.

The letter said that three days ago, Dongshan Prefecture's HeQu County had discovered a group of foreign people. Their whereabouts were strange, and since they were unable to confirm if they were the strange and unusual people invited by the Palace, they had not been apprehended. They had sent people to track them, and now they wanted Ye Feian to confirm and make a decision.

Ye Feian saw that there was something fishy about this matter. In the past few years, in order to manage the sixteen prefectures of Shan Yang, Ye Feian had indeed gone around recruiting people and started providing support to his hanger-ons. However, from what he remembered, he had never recruited such a group of people. The matter of Ye Feian raising his family wasn't made public, so these people couldn't possibly be people who came to honor his name.

He immediately replied and told the Prefect of Eastern Mountain Prefecture to capture these people and deliver them to the prince's mansion. He himself was going to interrogate them personally. Ye Feian believed that these people were most likely sent by the imperial government.

However, these people were not assassins sent by the imperial court. Instead, they were warriors chosen by Xue Kaishan from the Kurman tribe to help him take revenge. That was why he had been so careless and exposed his whereabouts.

After Ye Feian lost in the capital, he retreated back to his feudal fiefdom. Although he had suffered a crushing defeat, he was not discouraged. Ye Feian was waiting for an opportunity. At this moment, Ye Feihan had already become decadent. He was no longer as ambitious as he was in the past and wanted to point out the future and grasp power. After a few twists and turns, Ye Feihan, who had experienced the ups and downs of his life, had now completely sunk into depravity, becoming a monarch who only knew how to indulge in pleasure and greed.

After all, with a powerful official like Nightingale, in addition to his own innumerable comatose moves, the current Grand Profound's de facto controller had already become Nightingale Lianhe. Many government officials and ministers also directly reported it to Nightingale. The crowd gradually began to forget about the emperor who had spent his days in the midst of shouting lecherous words.

Ye Feiye understood in his heart that if he continued to fight with Ye Lianhe in the capital, it would be an extremely unwise action. In the capital, Ye Lianhe occupied the prime of his life, and his entire fortune was in the mountains.

Ye Feian, who had experienced two failures, gradually understood that although he had raised the banner twice and once forced Ye Lianhe to his death, both times were because there was a problem with those people who supported him, which was why he was defeated one by one. As for those fence-sitters, after seeing that he had lost his power, they left his side in a scattered manner, once again creating a tombstone for Ye Lianhe.

This time, Ye Feian decided to return to his feudal fiefdom. After he had reactivated this last-ditch effort, he would hire troops and wait for the right moment to seek out a great cause. Thus, during the past three years, no matter what he did, he would secretly do it. He would even occasionally release some bewitching news so that the imperial government would not be able to discover his true intentions. This plan was also very effective. Even Ye Lianhe's intelligence network was bewitched by these feints.

Ye Lianhe even started to feel that Endless Night had given up on this idea and wanted to be the vassal lord peacefully.

In less than two days, the secret letter had arrived in the hands of the Prefect of Eastern Mountain Prefecture. He immediately gave the order to capture all the bandits. In the name of the bandits, over two hundred yamen runners from all the counties were gathered.

However, the group was composed of more than twenty warriors who were good at fighting and fighting. These bailiffs were usually good at bullying and bullying the common people, but now that they met these warriors, the killing intent coming from them made them break out in a cold sweat on a hot day.
